abraham_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o cry_v abba_n father_n now_o the_o first_o word_n abba_n signify_v a_o father_n howbeit_o saint_n paul_n use_v the_o language_n that_o be_v hilde_n still_o as_o most_o common_a among_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n be_v not_o so_o pure_a after_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n as_o it_o be_v before_o but_o be_v mingle_v with_o the_o chaldey_n tongue_n howbeit_o saint_n paul_n meen_n here_o be_v to_o show_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n all_o man_n in_o common_a aught_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n with_o open_a mouth_n because_o his_o adoption_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o nation_n and_o the_o wall_n be_v break_v down_o which_o divide_v the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n asunder_o so_o that_o henceforth_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v equal_a and_o in_o like_a state_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o god_n in_o all_o language_n as_o it_o be_v with_o one_o mouth_n and_o we_o must_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n receive_v we_o and_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o press_v unto_o he_o inasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o lead_v we_o which_o be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n for_o us._n now_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o see_v that_o every_o man_n pray_v unto_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v with_o understanding_n for_o if_o a_o man_n that_o understand_v no_o more_o but_o his_o own_o mother_n tongue_n shall_v pray_v unto_o god_n in_o greek_a or_o hebrew_n sure_o it_o be_v but_o a_o dalliance_n and_o a_o utter_a pervert_v and_o mar_n of_o the_o rule_n of_o pray_v aright_o and_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n and_o feign_a devotion_n in_o it_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o can_v pray_v unto_o god_n without_o faith_n too_o be_v

that_o therein_o we_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o the_o very_a wellspring_n of_o all_o welfare_n now_o than_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o shall_v resort_v unto_o he_o which_o be_v the_o rewarder_n according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o xj_o to_o the_o hebrew_n 6_o that_o he_o disappoynt_v not_o those_o that_o seek_v he_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v always_o find_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a than_o to_o flee_v unto_o he_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n we_o must_v have_v understanding_n to_o know_v what_o we_o crave_v of_o he_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n moreover_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n thereby_o we_o be_v do_v to_o understande_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o language_n hinder_v not_o the_o unity_n of_o faith_n esay_n seem_v to_o use_v a_o clean_a contrary_a manner_n of_o speak_v 15_o when_o he_o say_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v speak_v the_o language_n of_o canaan_n that_o be_v

that_o god_n shall_v be_v worship_v in_o all_o language_n and_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o tongue_n of_o canaan_n because_o the_o hebrew_n be_v a_o holy_a tongue_n wherein_o god_n secret_n be_v contain_v forasmuch_o then_o as_o that_o language_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n consecrate_v unto_o god_n he_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v honour_v of_o all_o man_n and_o all_o man_n shall_v renounce_v their_o

all_o make_v oneself_o same_o profession_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o tunablenesse_n and_o good_a agreement_n among_o all_o man_n howbeit_o s._n paul_n mean_v to_o express_v here_o more_o

staff_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v he_o as_o he_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a then_o can_v not_o abraham_n bring_v aught_o of_o himself_o for_o look_v what_o

he_o be_v utter_o lose_v and_o damn_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o adam_n line_n be_v therefore_o it_o stand_v he_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n shall_v receyve_v he_o through_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o single_o in_o his_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n justify_v of_o we_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o own_o mere_a and_o alone_a

there_o be_v not_o any_o worthiness_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o then_o like_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n only_o free_a

of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o abraham_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n so_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o only_o of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v he_o justify_v so_o then_o let_v we_o leave_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n imagine_v to_o bring_v themselves_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n by_o mingle_v this_o and_o that_o with_o faith_n for_o

the_o least_o be_v gyltie_n for_o why_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o hart_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n with_o all_o our_o power_n and_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o and_o then_o let_v every_o of_o we_o try_v his_o own_o life_n &_o he_o shall_v need_v none_o other_o judge_n than_o himself_o to_o condemn_v he_o for_o although_o we_o love_v god_n with_o a_o uncorrupted_a and_o sound_o hart_n unfayned_o yet_o can_v it_o not_o be_v but_o that_o we_o must_v be_v draw_v diverse_o with_o many_o vanity_n yea_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n be_v as_o perfect_a as_o a_o angel_n
yet_o can_v he_o not_o love_n god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o it_o will_v behoove_v all_o our_o wit_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o love_n of_o he_o but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v if_o we_o cast_v not_o many_o vain_a look_n when_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n or_o if_o that_o when_o we_o open_v our_o ear_n we_o be_v not_o give_v too_o their_o much_o fond_a talk_n that_o tend_v not_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n or_o which_o be_v not_o utter_o void_a of_o sin_n if_o at_o leastwyse_o it_o be_v not_o wicked_a but_o how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o shall_v so_o dedicate_v our_o wit_n whole_o unto_o god_n as_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v upon_o any_o thing_n wherein_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v glorify_v and_o where_o shall_v one_o be_v find_v that_o do_v so_o no_o where_o but_o which_o worse_o be_v beside_o that_o we_o have_v our_o wit_n far_o hale_v and_o draw_v away_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n we_o see_v that_o they_o tickle_v we_o daily_o unto_o naughtiness_n and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o soon_o stir_v a_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v to_o put_v it_o too_o many_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o our_o foot_n of_o our_o eye_n and_o of_o our_o ear_n again_o what_o a_o dungeon_n be_v there_o in_o man_n hart_n what_o a_o number_n of_o croak_v lust_n be_v there_o so_o snarl_v one_o within_o another_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v find_v among_o they_o but_o confusion_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v upon_o very_o good_a cause_n that_o jeremie_n cry_v out_o 9_o o_o what_o a_o maze_n be_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o end_n nor_o measure_n to_o be_v see_v so_o that_o although_o a_o man_n shall_v sound_v and_o gage_v himself_o never_o so_o deep_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v attain_v too_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o his_o naughtiness_n there_o be_v none_o but_o only_o god_n that_o can_v be_v judge_n of_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o god_n have_v beget_v we_o again_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o we_o strain_v ourselves_o to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o serve_v &_o honour_v he_o yet_o must_v we_o needs_o come_v far_o short_a of_o the_o end_n and_o be_v still_o but_o on_o our_o way_n thitherwarde_o yea_o and_o go_v always_o halt_v and_o moreover_o beside_o our_o slowness_n we_o meet_v with_o many_o fall_n and_o many_o shrewd_a rush_n we_o limp_v on_o the_o one_o foot_n and_o stumble_v on_o the_o other_o and_o diverse_a time_n we_o tumble_v over_o and_o over_o lo_o what_o our_o life_n be_v therefore_o by_o the_o law_n we_o see_v we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o accurse_a yea_o even_o when_o there_o be_v no_o many_o fest_n sin_n in_o us._n for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o no_o man_n discharge_v himself_o of_o the_o full_a performance_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v too_o be_v conclude_v thereupon_o that_o all_o of_o we_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o seek_v our_o rightuousnesse_n else_o where_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o mere_a mercy_n of_o god_n now_o then_o we_o see_v how_o s._n paul_n show_v we_o that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v any_o vain_a trust_n in_o their_o own_o merit_n be_v rank_n traitor_n too_o god_n and_o make_v war_n against_o he_o for_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v drag_v they_o forth_o by_o the_o hear_v of_o their_o head_n and_o show_v they_o the_o distress_n wherein_o they_o be_v and_o what_o a_o stubborness_n be_v it_o if_o they_o will_v not_o come_v unto_o he_o must_v not_o the_o devil_n needs_o have_v dull_v they_o we_o see_v then_o that_o s._n paul_n meaning_n here_o be_v too_o drive_v man_n too_o seek_v their_o rightuousnesse_n and_o salvation_n in_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o without_o that_o the_o other_o shall_v never_o befall_v we_o because_o we_o always_o surmise_v some_o value_n to_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o selfestimation_n or_o overween_a do_v so_o blind_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o rightuousnesse_n by_o keep_v our_o own_o mouth_n shut_v till_o we_o be_v convict_v as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o text_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v take_v here_o a_o principle_n which_o the_o papist_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o agree_v unto_o ▪_o for_n among_o other_o thing_n they_o say_v curse_a and_o banned_a be_v he_o which_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v command_v we_o more_o than_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v they_z excommunicate_a and_o accurse_v all_o such_o as_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o the_o law_n overreach_v all_o the_o ability_n of_o man_n for_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o command_v we_o any_o impossibility_n &_o that_o either_o we_o must_v have_v wherewith_o too_o perform_v the_o law_n or_o else_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v too_o no_o purpose_n so_o do_v they_o think_v and_o so_o do_v they_o say_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v the_o flat_a contrary_n for_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o fashion_v himself_o to_o our_o ability_n it_o become_v we_o to_o regard_v what_o we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o do_v who_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v step_v up_o and_o say_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o his_o hart_n for_o see_v that_o we_o be_v his_o be_v it_o not_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v whole_o dedicate_v untoo_o he_o you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v indet_v unto_o he_o of_o the_o perfect_a love_n which_o he_o require_v ageine_n if_o we_o talk_v of_o our_o own_o strength_n it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discharge_v ourselves_o of_o our_o duty_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o love_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o our_o god_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n have_v waste_v all_o his_o good_n in_o riot_n and_o have_v not_o aught_o leave_v wherewith_o too_o pay_v his_o creditor_n shall_v that_o discharge_v he_o of_o his_o dette_n if_o any_o man_n say_v it_o be_v not_o through_o our_o own_o default_n yes_o sure_o be_v it_o for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v corrupt_v in_o adam_n original_a sin_n hold_v we_o sufficient_o convict_v and_o guilty_a before_o god_n so_o as_o it_o be_v no_o excuse_n too_o say_v i_o be_o weak_a or_o rather_o utter_o untoward_a and_o i_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o think_v one_o good_a thought_n 5_o accord_v as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o think_v so_o much_o as_o one_o good_a thought_n and_o that_o our_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o sturdiness_n and_o malice_n so_o that_o all_o our_o affection_n be_v enemy_n untoo_o god_n so_o speak_v the_o scripture_n but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v we_o cease_v not_o too_o be_v still_o bind_v too_o our_o duty_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o the_o law_n be_v command_v we_o though_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o fulfil_v and_o perform_v it_o 3._o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o s._n paul_n will_v not_o have_v say_v in_o the_o eight_o too_o the_o roman_n that_o god_n perform_v that_o thing_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v impossible_a too_o the_o law_n in_o say_v so_o he_o show_v well_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v all_o that_o god_n command_v us._n for_o if_o we_o can_v bring_v that_o to_o pass_v sure_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o it_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o such_o as_o fulfil_v the_o law_n shall_v live_v therein_o 5._o if_o any_o man_n can_v be_v find_v that_o have_v perform_v it_o he_o shall_v live_v but_o s._n paul_n take_v the_o same_o reason_n afterward_o too_o show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o think_v to_o get_v righteousness_n by_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n for_o no_o man_n can_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v as_o be_v require_v now_o then_o as_o touch_v this_o text_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o s._n paul_n presuppose_v that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a too_o perform_v the_o law_n though_o he_o strain_v himself_o never_o so_o much_o insomuch_o that_o although_o he_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o shall_v he_o never_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v it_o too_o pass_v during_o this_o ●ightfull_a life_n because_o god_n give_v we_o his_o grace_n by_o measure_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o can_v give_v we_o such_o perfection_n as_o nothing_o shall_v be_v amiss_o in_o all_o our_o life_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o full_a and_o more_o
