at_o the_o last_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o moses_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o when_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n our_o life_n shall_v not_o be_v miserable_a only_o for_o a_o day_n or_o yet_o for_o a_o little_a while_n we_o must_v not_o limit_v ourselves_o any_o term_n in_o that_o case_n but_o we_o must_v look_v for_o one_o mischieefe_n to_o draw_v

they_o that_o despise_v his_o justice_n therefore_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o see_v the_o blow_n come_v near_o we_o let_v we_o be_v afraid_a and_o let_v every_o of_o we_o make_v haste_n to_o return_v unto_o he_o who_o we_o have_v offend_v to_o wit_n our_o god_n to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o

be_v change_v to_o serve_v our_o god._n the_o same_o be_v likewise_o in_o circumcision_n and_o moses_n do_v show_v in_o this_o place_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o vain_a figure_n it_o be_v not_o a_o mark_n that_o god_n have_v set_v upon_o his_o people_n but_o only_o to_o say_v you_o be_v a_o choose_a people_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o shall_v have_v thereby_o no_o promise_n not_o warrant_n of_o their_o salvation_n nor_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v spiritual_a but_o contrariwyse_o in_o say_v that_o god_n will_v circumcise_v their_o heart_n he_o show_v that_o this_o sacrament_n this_o visible_a sign_n of_o circumcision_n declare_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v change_v and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o their_o god._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o baptism_n at_o this_o day_n succeed_v circumcision_n like_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n 2.12_o col._n 2.12_o after_o he_o have_v show_v that_o circumcision_n remain_v not_o at_o this_o day_n as_o touch_v the_o outward_a use_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v circumcise_a not_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n but_o in_o that_o we_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o baptism_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n whereby_o the_o old_a man_n be_v mortify_v that_o from_o henceforth_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v govern_v us._n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o father_n which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n be_v as_o little_a child_n under_o their_o tutor_n and_o overseer_n 4.2_o gal._n 3.23_o &_o 4.2_o yet_o be_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o we_o be_v and_o have_v the_o very_a same_o promise_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o sacrament_n which_o god_n deliver_v they_o tend_v to_o the_o self_n same_o end_n and_o so_o consequent_o be_v spiritual_a thus_o much_o concern_v one_o point_n now_o furthermore_o it_o be_v here_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o circumcision_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o malice_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o show_v also_o that_o god_n will_v do_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o regenerate_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o at_o this_o day_n in_o baptism_n when_o the_o water_n be_v pour_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o little_a child_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o signify_v that_o be_v come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o must_v serve_v god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o unless_o it_o be_v give_v he_o from_o above_o but_o the_o infant_n be_v baptize_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o and_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o only_o it_o do_v appertain_v to_o baptise_v as_o saint_n john_n say_v we_o in_o deed_n do_v baptise_v with_o water_n but_o his_o office_n be_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v it_o well_o that_o when_o the_o minister_n lay_v the_o water_n on_o the_o child_n head_n therein_o he_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n witness_v thereby_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n will_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v and_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n his_o father_n as_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o he_o and_o to_o govern_v they_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v become_v new_a creature_n and_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o circumcision_n abraham_n in_o deed_n be_v circumcise_v but_o that_o be_v after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n but_o yet_o ordinary_o it_o behoove_v man_n to_o be_v circumcise_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o they_o that_o be_v appoint_v thereunto_o and_o those_o do_v represent_v the_o person_n of_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o testimony_n that_o man_n of_o themselves_o can_v not_o be_v circumcise_v but_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o god_n shall_v put_v his_o hand_n thereto_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v change_v they_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o in_o all_o the_o sacrament_n we_o bring_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o but_o that_o we_o do_v rather_o come_v to_o receive_v that_o which_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god._n the_o sacrament_n than_o be_v not_o meritorious_a matter_n that_o man_n may_v allege_v any_o service_n that_o they_o have_v do_v but_o rather_o come_v to_o seek_v that_o which_o they_o want_v whereby_o we_o see_v the_o foolishness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o boast_v themselves_o of_o circumcision_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a virtue_n and_o will_v needs_o bring_v it_o in_o reckon_n as_o if_o god_n have_v be_v behold_v unto_o they_o because_o they_o be_v circumcise_v to_o be_v short_a whensoever_o deserve_a and_o grace_n come_v in_o question_n the_o jew_n pretend_v that_o they_o be_v not_o save_v by_o the_o free_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o wherefore_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v you_o e_o circumcision_n it_o serve_v for_o a_o testimony_n for_o a_o earnest_n for_o a_o visible_a sign_n to_o declare_v y_z t_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v all_o in_o us._n but_o these_o miserable_a beast_n understand_v not_o that_o see_v here_o i_o pray_v you_o the_o unthankfulnes_n of_o man_n which_o have_v take_v place_n not_o with_o that_o nation_n only_o but_o among_o the_o christian_n also_o where_o y_o e_o goodness_n of_o god_n have_v be_v utter_v much_o more_o at_o large_a behold_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o 2.10_o col._n 2.10_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v seek_v all_o our_o welfare_n in_o he_o &_o yet_o the_o papist_n have_v not_o cease_v to_o distinguishe_v and_o to_o seek_v out_o a_o work_n which_o be_v wrought_v on_o man_n part_n as_o they_o term_v it_o they_o have_v yield_v that_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o divine_a work_n but_o yet_o nevertheless_o they_o stick_v not_o to_o say_v that_o man_n do_v bring_v thereunto_o somewhat_o of_o their_o own_o and_o no_o marvel_n for_o we_o see_v to_o what_o point_n they_o be_v come_v namely_o that_o they_o have_v change_v the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n into_o a_o charm_n and_o a_o devilish_a sorcery_n thus_o say_v jesus_n christ_n take_v 26.26_o matt._n 26.26_o eat_v he_o command_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o &_o the_o papist_n make_v god_n to_o believe_v y_z t_z they_o do_v offer_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o further_o they_o establish_v thereupon_o a_o work_n of_o merit_n even_o the_o most_o excellent_a y_o it_o ever_o they_o can_v dream_v of_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o y_a e_o devil_n have_v bewitch_v they_o so_o as_o they_o have_v change_v y_o e_o whole_a order_n of_o nature_n for_o in_o stead_n of_o receive_v y_z t_o thing_n with_o humility_n which_o god_n offer_v they_o they_o have_v presume_v to_o offer_v unto_o he_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v forge_v in_o their_o own_o brain_n &_o do_v make_v themselves_o believe_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o yea_o and_o that_o he_o be_v very_o much_o behold_v to_o they_o for_o so_o do_v so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o mark_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o namely_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v circumcise_v thy_o heart_n so_o then_o see_v god_n have_v show_v we_o what_o baptism_n do_v signify_v let_v we_o understande_v how_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o reform_v we_o and_o to_o renounce_v our_o own_o nature_n to_o serve_v god._n but_o do_v we_o once_o know_v that_o then_o let_v we_o proceed_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v give_v we_o which_o be_v that_o because_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v put_v to_o his_o hand_n that_o we_o may_v be_v change_v and_o become_v new_a creature_n through_o his_o holy_a spirit_n this_o be_v in_o effect_n that_o which_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n now_o moses_n add_v that_o thou_o may_v live_v not_o that_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o our_o deserve_n but_o because_o we_o be_v slothful_a therefore_o he_o add_v this_o promise_n namely_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v bless_v of_o god_n and_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v say_v to_o make_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o provoke_v not_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n against_o we_o if_o we_o will_v be_v
