tend_v only_o to_o the_o welfare_n and_o benefit_n of_o man_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v very_o good_a and_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a those_o be_v always_o best_o which_o may_v

to_o the_o world_n end_n for_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o chozen_v by_o election_n of_o man_n nor_o by_o the_o common_a policy_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o very_a mouth_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 24_o in_o somuch_o that_o when_o it_o behove_v the_o apostle_n too_o put_v another_o successor_n in_o the_o room_n of_o judas_n too_o make_v up_o the_o full_a number_n of_o twelve_o again_o although_o they_o themselves_o be_v there_o present_a and_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o disciple_n with_o they_o yet_o dare_v they_o not_o make_v any_o election_n when_o there_o be_v any_o chooze_v of_o a_o shepeherde_n for_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n or_o of_o antioch_n or_o of_o any_o other_o people_n this_o fashyon_n be_v use_v that_o be_v too_o say_v first_o they_o pray_v snto_o god_n and_o thereupon_o choze_v such_o a_o man_n as_o be_v find_v meet_a and_o convenient_a for_o that_o office_n but_o as_o for_o the_o other_o they_o refer_v it_o whole_o too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n

afterward_o but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v he_o have_v equal_a privilege_n with_o the_o residue_n because_o there_o come_v a_o revelation_n from_o heaven_n too_o show_v that_o he_o be_v admit_v too_o the_o execute_n of_o that_o office_n 2._o he_o be_v rapt_v up_o intoo_o the_o three_o heaven_n and_o we_o have_v see_v that_o he_o be_v well_o like_v of_o in_o all_o thing_n final_o that_o it_o may_v

which_o speak_v and_o utter_v the_o word_n from_o above_o you_o see_v then_o that_o s._n paul_n be_v not_o chozen_v by_o mean_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o manner_n of_o chooze_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o be_v no_o fault_n in_o those_o that_o be_v shepeherde_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n but_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o s._n paul_n shall_v be_v privilege_v too_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v be_v comparable_a with_o peter_n and_o john_n and_o with_o all_o those_o that_o have_v be_v conversant_a and_o keep_v company_n with_o the_o son_n of_o god_n while_o he_o dwell_v in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v in_o this_o mortal_a life_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o we_o owe_v too_o such_o as_o carry_v abroad_o god_n word_n and_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o shepeherde_n serve_v not_o too_o bar_n god_n from_o be_v herd_n continual_o nor_o to_o bar_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n from_o be_v the_o only_a schoolmaster_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o bear_v this_o school_n point_n well_o in_o mind_n or_o else_o our_o faith_n will_v always_o be_v subject_a too_o many_o variety_n and_o he_o that_o be_v cunning_a among_o man_n shall_v ever_o go_v away_o with_o the_o goal_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o have_v nothing_o certain_a but_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o change_v from_o day_n too_o day_n yea_o even_o every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o man_n allege_v the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o prelate_n or_o of_o bishop_n we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n that_o they_o can_v climb_v any_o high_a than_o too_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o first_o if_o they_o have_v be_v chozen_v by_o lawful_a order_n with_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o second_o if_o such_o be_v chozen_v as_o be_v meet_v that_o have_v in_o they_o wherewith_o to_o execute_v their_o office_n lo_o here_o the_o mark_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v and_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o they_o be_v such_o shepeherde_n as_o god_n allow_v and_o accept_v and_o herewithal_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n too_o be_v call_v too_o that_o vocation_n but_o he_o must_v also_o execute_v the_o charge_n that_o be_v commit_v too_o he_o according_a as_o s._n paul_n say_v not_o single_o that_o he_o be_v ordain_v a_o apostle_n but_o in_o take_v that_o name_n too_o he_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o bear_v abroad_o the_o message_n of_o salvation_n and_o too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o the_o world_n therefore_o they_o that_o will_v be_v take_v for_o bishop_n and_o prelate_n must_v teach_v and_o if_o they_o be_v idol_n and_o dumb_a dog_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o they_o do_v shameful_o mock_v god_n name_n and_o abuse_v his_o majesty_n so_o also_o man_n may_v reject_v they_o and_o despize_v they_o yea_o and_o that_o they_o ought_v too_o be_v hold_v as_o accurse_v because_o they_o pretend_v god_n name_n false_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o streyne_v now_o s._n paul_n say_v purposely_o that_o â—e_n be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o god_n his_o father_n who_o rayze_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a whereas_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v too_o bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o covet_v too_o obey_v god_n and_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o we_o must_v embrace_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o give_v ear_n unto_o he_o as_o too_o the_o only_a schoolmaster_n and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v submit_v themselves_o to_o he_o and_o too_o his_o doctrine_n for_o he_o that_o honour_v not_o the_o son_n honour_v noâ—_n the_o father_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o five_o of_o john_n 23._o and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a too_o be_v mark_v for_o every_o man_n will_v needs_o be_v think_v to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o too_o hold_v himself_o under_o his_o yoke_n but_o in_o the_o meanewhyle_o we_o see_v that_o the_o world_n fight_v against_o the_o gospel_n and_o noman_n can_v willing_o find_v in_o his_o hart_n to_o yield_v too_o it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o to_o he_o every_o of_o we_o play_v the_o rebel_n we_o be_v so_o wild_a that_o he_o can_v tame_v we_o whereby_o our_o faythlesnesse_n be_v to_o plain_o prove_v and_o we_o show_v ourselves_o to_o despize_n god_n how_o goodly_a protestation_n soever_o we_o have_v make_v before_o for_o he_o send_v we_o back_o to_o his_o son_n 12._o &_o will_v we_o to_o stoop_v to_o he_o to_o do_v he_o homage_n yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o we_o see_v and_o as_o experience_n show_v too_o much_o every_o man_n will_v shrink_v away_o from_o subjection_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n s._n paul_n therefore_o show_v what_o a_o majesty_n there_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o ought_v too_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n and_o to_o hold_v our_o peace_n when_o soever_o he_o speak_v and_o too_o receyve_v without_o any_o gainsay_n whatsoever_o he_o teach_v or_o procee_v from_o he_o and_o without_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n reject_v all_o the_o protestation_n that_o we_o can_v make_v of_o our_o desirousnesse_n too_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o thus_o be_v we_o exhort_v in_o this_o streyne_v to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o over_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sing_v he_o be_v our_o only_a shepherd_n thereby_o to_o show_v that_o we_o be_v his_o true_a sheep_n and_o that_o we_o harken_v too_o his_o voice_n and_o discern_v it_o from_o the_o voice_n of_o stranger_n now_o sing_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o we_o as_o we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o too_o he_o let_v every_o of_o we_o follow_v he_o and_o show_v that_o we_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n in_o deed_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o there_o be_v such_o unthankfulness_n in_o a_o great_a number_n that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o submit_v themselves_o even_o too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n saint_n paul_n do_v here_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n as_o a_o overplus_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n

and_o abace_v even_o too_o a_o most_o shameful_a death_n wherein_o he_o receyve_v all_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o we_o give_v not_o ear_n

all_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o world_n be_v nothing_o nay_o rather_o it_o shall_v always_o turn_v to_o our_o harm_n because_o that_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n receyve_v we_o into_o his_o

now_o such_o manner_n of_o prosperity_n may_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o be_v well_o wish_v for_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n must_v be_v our_o

content_v with_o this_o that_o god_n accept_v us._n and_o therewithal_o he_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v favour_v we_o but_o for_o his_o own_o son_n sake_n in_o who_o be_v his_o whole_a delight_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v 6._o as_o well_o in_o the._n xuj_o chapter_n of_o s._n matthew_n as_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o ephesian_n then_o if_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n but_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n it_o will_v make_v we_o afraid_a and_o we_o can_v not_o have_v any_o access_n unto_o he_o because_o we_o be_v frail_a creature_n yea_o and_o altogether_o sinful_a creep_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o deserve_v too_o be_v swallow_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o christ_n shall_v show_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o he_o to_o taste_v what_o god_n love_v be_v and_o to_o enjoy_v all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o for_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o any_o other_o than_o to_o his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o he_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 2_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o good_a turn_n which_o god_n do_v we_o belong_v peculiar_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o communicate_v with_o he_o and_o to_o be_v make_v parttaker_n of_o they_o by_o his_o mean_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o choose_v that_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o nothing_o put_v we_o out_o of_o god_n favour_n but_o our_o own_o sinfulness_n for_o we_o see_v that_o his_o mercy_n extend_v itself_o even_o to_o the_o sparowe_n that_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n and_o unto_o the_o brute_n beast_n for_o when_o as_o god_n bring_v forth_o grass_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o make_v other_o fodder_n too_o grow_v for_o cattle_n 8._o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o and_o true_o they_o be_v mark_n of_o his_o goodness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n how_o then_o shall_v he_o not_o love_v those_o who_o

too_o take_v we_o for_o his_o enemy_n so_o as_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o deadly_a foade_n between_o he_o and_o we_o till_o he_o have_v take_v we_o again_o into_o his_o favour_n for_o our_o

whereby_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o transgression_n be_v blot_v out_o so_o that_o god_n have_v now_o forget_v all_o our_o wretchedness_n behold_v we_o as_o his_o own_o and_o as_o those_o on_o who_o he_o have_v set_v his_o mark_n &_o to_o be_v short_a as_o those_o who_o he_o have_v create_v too_o be_v his_o child_n and_o heir_n and_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o there_o be_v none_o

the_o force_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n how_o that_o therein_o we_o find_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v erst_o

by_o fasten_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v offer_v for_o if_o we_o have_v not_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v

that_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v commend_v there_o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o all_o godliness_n in_o it_o as_o the_o papist_n imagine_v who_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n

therefore_o let_v we_o first_o mark_n that_o if_o we_o have_v profit_v in_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v believe_v assure_o that_o god_n take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o call_v we_o

and_o for_o that_o cause_n s._n paul_n answer_v if_o the_o law_n have_v be_v give_v to_o justify_v i_o can_v well_o enough_o grant_v that_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v give_v we_o by_o it_o but_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o god_n mean_v that_o or_o no._n it_o be_v certain_a he_o mean_v it_o not_o then_o send_v he_o we_o to_o god_n purpose_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v so_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n &_o overween_a that_o they_o think_v they_o be_v able_a to_o justify_v themselves_o &_o to_o win_v heaven_n be_v ill_a expounder_n of_o god_n law_n yea_o &_o falsifier_n thereof_o for_o man_n must_v always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o speaker_n now_o god_n mean_v not_o to_o set_v man_n a_o gog_n with_o any_o trust_n in_o their_o own_o wit_n &_o deserve_n for_o we_o be_v too_o much_o give_v to_o that_o of_o our_o own_o nature_n we_o see_v it_o have_v be_v a_o common_a error_n through_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o all_o age_n therefore_o we_o need_v no_o schol_n to_o persuade_v we_o that_o we_o be_v able_a folk_n &_o that_o we_o can_v bind_v god_n to_o we_o by_o our_o virtuous_a do_n but_o contrariwise_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o law_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v wound_v with_o it_o as_o with_o a_o sword_n &_o the_o stripe_n be_v so_o deadly_a as_o we_o may_v be_v constrain_v to_o flee_v to_o he_o for_o succour_n see_v then_o that_o god_n will_v it_o to_o slay_v we_o by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o give_v we_o to_o make_v we_o righteous_a and_o therefore_o they_o that_o seek_v their_o life_n &_o welfare_n there_o beguile_v themselves_o and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v allege_v for_o then selue_o yea_o how_o so_o god_n have_v promise_v i_o it_o no_o but_o they_o must_v consider_v to_o what_o end_n he_o say_v so_o now_o we_o see_v how_o s._n paul_n have_v discuss_v this_o question_n that_o there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n between_o the_o law_n &_o the_o gospel_n though_o god_n alter_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o speech_n at_o the_o first_o blush_n now_o he_o add_v afterward_o that_o the_o scripture_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o â—â—â—der_a sin_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v the_o promise_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o under_o sin_n he_o show_v that_o man_n be_v too-too_o blockishe_a too_o think_v that_o god_n mean_v too_o assign_v they_o a_o due_a wage_n or_o hire_n when_o he_o do_v set_v they_o down_o this_o condition_n he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o let_v they_o read_v the_o whole_a law_n let_v they_o search_v the_o content_n and_o substance_n of_o it_o let_v they_o look_v well_o upon_o the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n
