neither_o do_v we_o by_o this_o our_o declaration_n similitude_n the_o pelagian_o upbraid_v the_o catholic_n of_o foolishness_n a_o similitude_n fall_v into_o that_o foolishness_n wherewith_o the_o

mankind_n to_o himself_o take_v in_o hand_n the_o performance_n thereof_o by_o so_o many_a and_o so_o gréevous_a pain_n and_o labour_n of_o his_o own_o son_n for_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o may_v have_v take_v any_o other_o way_n in_o hand_n for_o reconcile_n of_o we_o with_o his_o son_n why_o then_o do_v he_o make_v he_o subject_a to_o so_o many_o misery_n and_o rebuke_n here_o may_v i_o answer_v that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n be_v satisfy_v which_o answer_n as_o it_o be_v true_a so_o be_v it_o common_o receive_v wherefore_o i_o think_v it_o meet_v to_o note_v here_o three_o thing_n most_o profitable_a to_o be_v know_v the_o first_o shall_v be_v this_o that_o we_o may_v sufficient_o understand_v by_o that_o so_o hard_a a_o mean_n which_o

they_o how_o great_a be_v the_o wrath_n enmity_n and_o hatred_n which_o god_n have_v conceive_v against_o we_o and_o how_o horrible_a a_o revenge_n hang_v over_o our_o head_n which_o if_o it_o be_v

the_o unclean_a work_n of_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n and_o of_o the_o flesh_n undoubted_o we_o consider_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o faith_n how_o severelie_o and_o sharpelie_o god_n have_v

that_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n which_o through_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n do_v oftentimes_o faint_a can_v never_o assure_v themselves_o from_o damnation_n which_o by_o their_o continual_a yea_o and_o shameful_a fall_n they_o deserve_v especial_o when_o as_o god_n the_o most_o just_a judge_n who_o never_o leave_v our_o sin_n unpunished_a be_v always_o set_v before_o our_o

of_o this_o body_n under_o the_o head_n christ_n and_o this_o treatise_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n we_o will_v for_o the_o easy_a understanding_n divide_v into_o three_o point_n to_o be_v

of_o our_o sin_n but_o here_o must_v we_o see_v by_o what_o way_n and_o mean_v the_o lord_n be_v wont_v to_o give_v this_o grace_n and_o spirit_n the_o which_o we_o can_v otherwise_o define_v than_o by_o faith_n for_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n offer_v unto_o we_o be_v meet_a to_o be_v receive_v of_o he_o that_o will_v enjoy_v they_o and_o faith_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o receive_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o by_o he_o whereunto_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n necessary_o require_v faith_n two_o thing_n necessary_o require_v in_o faith_n one_o be_v that_o that_o be_v offer_v to_o we_o which_o be_v good_a the_o other_o that_o we_o give_v our_o consent_n but_o to_o receive_v &_o consent_n we_o have_v need_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o shall_v inwardlie_o persuade_v the_o mind_n for_o otherwise_o a_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o natural_a corruption_n will_v turn_v away_o himself_o as_o to_o who_o these_o promise_n of_o god_n these_o mercy_n offer_v and_o this_o remission_n of_o sin_n may_v natural_o seem_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v true_a and_o to_o be_v of_o no_o great_a weight_n and_o he_o will_v be_v far_o from_o the_o through_o consideration_n of_o they_o see_v as_o the_o philosopher_n themselves_o also_o say_v he_o will_v no_o less_o be_v blind_v unto_o divine_a thing_n than_o the_o mole_n be_v at_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n whereof_o there_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o natural_a man_n say_v he_o understand_v not_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v foolishness_n unto_o he_o that_o we_o may_v have_v need_n of_o that_o inward_a move_n lest_o we_o shall_v refuse_v the_o benefit_n which_o be_v offer_v unto_o us._n and_o indeed_o in_o this_o move_n there_o be_v two_o excellent_a gift_n the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o acknowledge_v the_o gift_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n offer_v unto_o us._n the_o second_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v offer_v shall_v be_v please_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o by_o give_v our_o assent_n we_o receive_v and_o embrace_v they_o which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v grant_v unto_o we_o none_o otherwise_o to_o be_v use_v but_o as_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o to_o we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n how_o excellent_a and_o great_a soever_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v by_o the_o which_o he_o free_o forgive_v our_o sin_n 44._o act_n 10_o 44._o wherefore_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n while_o peter_n yet_o speak_v the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v down_o upon_o they_o which_o hear_v he_o 17._o rom._n 10_o 17._o and_o by_o paul_n unto_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n be_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o as_o the_o church_n preach_v continual_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o her_o minister_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n offer_v in_o her_o sermon_n reconciliation_n by_o christ_n it_o give_v remission_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o by_o the_o outward_a ministry_n it_o pronounce_v the_o same_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o which_o through_o attentive_a ear_n as_o through_o a_o conduit_n both_o the_o grace_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v slow_a in_o even_o unto_o our_o hart_n wherefore_o it_o be_v most_o firm_o conclude_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o the_o very_a same_o mean_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v be_v the_o original_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o thing_n see_v it_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o church_n only_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o sin_n be_v forgive_v no_o where_o

for_o even_o as_o the_o word_n sound_v and_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o voice_n so_o in_o a_o visible_a and_o evident_a sign_n a_o sacrament_n do_v speak_v and_o admonish_v we_o unto_o the_o which_o we_o give_v credit_n obtain_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o which_o it_o do_v promise_n and_o signify_v neither_o do_v we_o otherwise_o give_v credit_n unto_o the_o signification_n hereof_o than_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o we_o have_v above_o declare_v but_o think_v you_o not_o that_o sin_n be_v forgive_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o work_n that_o be_v wrought_v through_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n see_v this_o we_o obtain_v by_o faith_n while_o we_o believe_v that_o which_o it_o visible_o teach_v we_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o sacrament_n may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o value_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v sacrament_n the_o same_o thing_n be_v offer_v by_o the_o word_n that_o be_v do_v by_o the_o sacrament_n for_o even_o as_o this_o word_n signify_v and_o give_v in_o very_a deed_n unto_o the_o beléever_n whatsoever_o it_o do_v promise_n so_o baptism_n be_v by_o faith_n receive_v both_o signify_v and_o give_v to_o the_o beléever_n remission_n of_o sin_n the_o which_o it_o promise_v by_o a_o visible_a speak_n but_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v object_v unto_o i_o if_o so_o be_v that_o sin_n as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v be_v forgive_v unto_o they_o which_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o by_o preach_v it_o be_v set_v forth_o to_o we_o how_o can_v they_o then_o again_o be_v forgive_v by_o baptism_n i_o answer_v that_o as_o touch_v god_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o absolution_n be_v all_o one_o and_o as_o concern_v our_o sin_n the_o remission_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o the_o which_o nevertheless_o be_v as_o often_o confirm_v and_o renew_v in_o we_o as_o we_o give_v credit_n unto_o the_o word_n whereby_o the_o same_o be_v signify_v unto_o we_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n or_o by_o visible_a sign_n it_o be_v all_o one_o so_o that_o how_o often_o soever_o we_o either_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o faith_n the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v assure_v unto_o we_o whereby_o no_o small_a faith_n be_v inwardlie_o pour_v into_o us._n sacrament_n a_o benefit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o it_o ought_v to_o seem_v no_o marvel_n unto_o any_o man_n wherefore_o the_o sacrament_n be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n see_v that_o by_o they_o his_o pleasure_n be_v that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o spirit_n shall_v have_v recourse_n into_o the_o beléever_n no_o less_o than_o by_o the_o outward_a word_n of_o the_o scripture_n even_o as_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o daily_a experience_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v profit_v any_o man_n without_o faith_n wherefore_o we_o have_v hitherto_o declare_v two_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v extant_a in_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o two_o way_n whereby_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v set_v forth_o unto_o they_o that_o believe_v but_o and_o if_o thou_o demand_v which_o of_o the_o sacrament_n by_o name_n signify_v this_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v baptism_n in_o the_o which_o we_o be_v wash_v with_o visible_a water_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o by_o christ_n obtain_v spiritual_a cleanse_n and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o paul_n teach_v unto_o the_o ephesian_n that_o god_n have_v purge_v his_o church_n with_o the_o wash_n of_o

of_o sin_n the_o church_n by_o the_o singular_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n have_v right_a and_o authority_n as_o it_o have_v be_v already_o say_v to_o cut_v off_o from_o she_o by_o

which_o so_o long_o may_v stand_v in_o
predestination_n be_v in_o the_o predestinate_a predestination_n be_v in_o deed_n define_v but_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v express_v and_o declare_v the_o end_n unto_o which_o man_n be_v

see_v it_o can_v be_v have_v in_o this_o life_n we_o may_v not_o look_v to_o have_v it_o without_o fear_n further_o we_o may_v in_o this_o place_n understand_v that_o fear_n which_o be_v dissever_v

14_o security_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o contempt_n of_o god_n justice_n whereby_o sin_n be_v punish_v 27._o in_o jud._n 18._o verse_n 27._o if_o we_o speak_v of_o this_o security_n it_o can_v never_o be_v otherwise_o than_o wicked_a but_o there_o be_v also_o another_o find_v the_o which_o no_o doubt_n be_v to_o be_v allow_v and_o be_v commendable_a desperation_n hope_n be_v the_o mean_a between_o security_n and_o desperation_n but_o to_o make_v the_o thing_n more_o plain_a let_v we_o consider_v of_o three_o thing_n security_n hope_v &_o desperation_n hope_n be_v the_o mean_a which_o ought_v always_o to_o be_v commend_v security_n be_v excess_n but_o desperation_n be_v a_o want_n for_o as_o in_o put_v away_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v whence_o security_n rise_v &_o what_o it_o be_v we_o be_v make_v desperate_a so_o in_o contemn_v his_o justice_n we_o become_v secure_a wherefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o security_n be_v a_o certain_a immoderate_a hope_n and_o hereof_o it_o spring_v either_o because_o we_o attribute_v too_o much_o to_o our_o own_o strength_n and_o wisdom_n as_o though_o we_o think_v that_o by_o ourselves_o we_o be_v able_a to_o obtain_v any_o thing_n or_o else_o though_o we_o think_v that_o the_o same_o lie_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o suppose_v that_o he_o for_o our_o worthiness_n ought_v to_o accomplish_v it_o so_o do_v they_o which_o promise_v to_o themselves_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o eternal_a felicity_n though_o they_o use_v no_o repentance_n but_o live_v unpurelie_o and_o wicked_o or_o else_o it_o spring_v hereof_o because_o we_o believe_v not_o that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n any_o execution_n of_o justice_n impiety_n security_n be_v contrary_a to_o desperation_n and_o to_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n whereof_o desperation_n proceed_v barnard_n security_n the_o foundation_n of_o all_o impiety_n and_o this_o security_n whereof_o we_o entreat_v be_v not_o only_o contrary_a unto_o desperation_n but_o also_o unto_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o desperation_n proceed_v of_o too_o much_o fear_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n but_o security_n think_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o that_o justice_n wherefore_o barnard_n have_v right_o say_v even_o as_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n so_o security_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o impiety_n and_o the_o
