too_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n daily_o by_o our_o wicked_a do_n as_o folk_n that_o do_v in_o deed_n fight_v against_o he_o god_n then_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n or_o else_o he_o must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o abhor_v us._n 2._o too_o be_v short_a our_o sin_n do_v set_v god_n and_o we_o so_o far_o at_o odds_n that_o we_o can_v so_o

see_v how_o god_n receive_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n mean_v in_o add_v that_o in_o he_o we_o have_v

understand_v that_o the_o enmity_n which_o god_n bear_v we_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o nature_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o corruption_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o nature_n for_o as_o in_o respect_n that_o god_n have_v crease_v we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o can_v hate_v we_o but_o inasmuch_o as_o mankind_n be_v utter_o mar_v and_o give_v over_o too_o all_o naughtiness_n god_n must_v needs_o be_v as_o a_o mortal_a enemy_n too_o we_o and_o as_o a_o adversary_n against_o we_o till_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v bury_v out_o of_o his_o

utter_o hate_v and_o abhor_v the_o evil_a that_o he_o see_v in_o we_o therefore_o until_o such_o time_n as_o our_o sin_n be_v blot_v out_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o we_o too_o hope_v that_o god_n

therefore_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o can_v obtain_v no_o 〈◊〉_d at_o god_n hand_n nor_o be_v receive_v of_o he_o till_o our_o sin_n be_v whip_v 〈◊〉_d and_o the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o clean_o put_v away_o the_o reason_n ●hereof_o be_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v sin_n wherever_o he_o seize_v it_o so_o then_o as_o long_o as_o he_o consider_v we_o as_o sinner_n he_o ●ust_z needs_o abhor_v we_o for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o ourselves_o nor_o in_o 〈◊〉_d own_o nature_n but_o all_o manner_n of_o naughtiness_n &_o

hereby_o we_o see_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v love_v of_o god_n for_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o himself_o for_o wherein_o lie_v the_o love_n that_o god_n bear_v we_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o out_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o not_o too_o look_v a_o whit_n at_o we_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o it_o be_v declare_v further_o that_o god_n do_v never_o like_o well_o of_o we_o till_o he_o have_v release_v we_o o●r_a debt_n and_o adopt_v we_o too_o be_v his_o child_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o death_n before_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o zachary_n be_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a too_o we_o and_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n whereby_o we_o be_v become_v his_o enemy_n 77._o howbeit_o let_v we_o also_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o the_o clear_a release_n of_o our_o sin_n through_o god_n free_a goodness_n be_v not_o do_v without_o the_o ransom_n that_o be_v pay_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 18._o not_o in_o gold_n nor_o silver_n as_o say_v s._n peter_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n but_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n be_v fain_o too_o serve_v that_o turn_n his_o own_o self_n wherefore_o whensoever_o we_o intend_v too_o seek_v god_n favour_n and_o mercy_n let_v we_o fasten_v all_o our_o wit_n upon_o the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v there_o find_v wherewith_o too_o appease_v god_n wrath_n and_o furthermore_o sing_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o by_o such_o payment_n and_o satisfaction_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v aught_o of_o our_o own_o for_o the_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n wherein_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n have_v by_o his_o s●yghtes_n cut_v of_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n from_o the_o world_n by_o bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o they_o must_v every_o man_n ransom_n himself_o and_o make_v his_o own_o atonement_n with_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o man_n ●all_n good_a work_v merit_n and_o virtue_n in_o papistry_n for_o too_o what_o end_n tend_v all_o the_o invention_n which_o they_o have_v forge_v why_o martyr_v they_o themselves_o after_o so_o many_o fashion_n so_o as_o man_n never_o make_v a_o end_n day_n nor_o night_n but_o be_v ever_o still_o make_v of_o new_a wyndlass_n and_o course_n the_o mark_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n ame_fw-fr at_o be_v too_o pacify_v god_n and_o so_o all_o the_o good_a work_v which_o be_v so_o count_v in_o papistry_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o mean_n whereby_o too_o make_v amends_n for_o sin_n howbeit_o that_o be_v but_o a_o deface_a of_o the_o ransom_n whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o for_o there_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v a_o inseparable_a bond_n between_o these_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o god_n put_v our_o sin_n out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n and_o drown_v they_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o moreover_o receive_v the_o payment_n that_o be_v offer_v he_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n therefore_o we_o can_v attain_v the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o wherforeif_a we_o intend_v too_o have_v god_n favour_n
full_o feed_v it_o shall_v be_v but_o with_o wind_n that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o vain_a and_o trifle_a imagination_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o morning_n they_o therefore_o which_o devyze_n patroness_n of_o their_o own_o head_n and_o surmise_v that_o god_n will_v favour_v they_o for_o it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v jesus_n christ_n alone_o must_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o of_o from_o obtain_v their_o request_n that_o god_n do_v rather_o abhor_v they_o insomuch_o that_o when_o they_o once_o swerve_v from_o the_o ankerhold_v which_o be_v set_v forth_o for_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n from_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o lodesman_n the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n must_v needs_o forsake_v they_o and_o the_o saint_n also_o to_o who_o they_o behight_v themselves_o must_v needs_o deny_v they_o yea_o &_o all_o of_o they_o must_v set_v themselves_o against_o they_o as_o adversary_n party_n for_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n for_o we_o too_o be_v match_v with_o the_o angel_n prophet_n apostle_n and_o martyr_n till_o we_o have_v true_a concord_n with_o they_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o have_v that_o by_o faith_n that_o be_v too_o say_v according_a too_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o too_o have_v our_o ear_n beat_v with_o it_o but_o that_o we_o must_v receive_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n promise_v we_o there_o so_o as_o we_o abhor_v all_o that_o ever_o satan_n can_v set_v afore_o we_o and_o have_v none_o other_o guide_n than_o only_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n 12._o and_o that_o whosoever_o walk_v in_o he_o can_v stray_v but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v search_n and_o examine_v ourselves_o narrow_o that_o we_o take_v not_o a_o vain_a cloak_n under_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o see_v many_o do_v now_o adays_o which_o protest_v themselves_o to_o be_v gospeler_n and_o even_o among_o ourselves_o what_o a_o number_n be_v there_o which_o will_v show_v sign_n great_a enough_o that_o they_o be_v willing_a too_o follow_v god_n word_n but_o they_o think_v too_o discharge_v themselves_o with_o petty_a trifle_n and_o when_o they_o have_v once_o give_v ear_n too_o the_o doctrine_n and_o speak_v a_o few_o good_a word_n then_o too_o their_o seem_n god_n be_v high_o bind_v unto_o they_o but_o here_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o have_v none_o acquaintance_n at_o all_o with_o he_o until_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_o mean_v whereby_o too_o be_v fill_v with_o his_o benefit_n and_o too_o have_v his_o holy_a spirit_n dwell_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o for_o unless_o we_o fear_v god_n and_o walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o as_o we_o behave_v ourselves_o according_a too_o his_o will_n and_o all_o our_o wit_n and_o desire_n am_z thitherward_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n 16._o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v too_o the_o galatian_n therefore_o we_o must_v show_v by_o our_o outward_a fruit_n that_o we_o be_v true_o join_v too_o jesus_n christ_n 5._o and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v further_a that_o we_o must_v be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o charity_n this_o word_n charity_n or_o love_n may_v be_v take_v as_o well_o for_o the_o love_n that_o god_n bear_v we_o as_o for_o the_o mutual_a love_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v one_o towards_o another_o but_o the_o very_a true_a and_o native_a sense_n of_o saint_n paul_n here_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v too_o have_v we_o knit_v together_o for_o as_o he_o speak_v heretofore_o of_o god_n free_a love_n towards_o we_o so_o now_o he_o show_v how_o faith_n import_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v brotherly_a love_v one_o towards_o another_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bring_v we_o always_o to_o that_o point_n insomuch_o that_o when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o full_a perfection_n of_o good_a life_n faith_n go_v before_o &_o then_o come_v charity_n next_o unto_o it_o for_o the_o end_n that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o be_v the_o utter_a abace_v of_o ourselves_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v seek_v all_o our_o welfare_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o our_o seek_v of_o it_o there_o may_v be_v first_o too_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o second_o too_o call_v upon_o he_o too_o settle_v our_o faith_n in_o he_o too_o flee_v whole_o for_o refuge_n too_o his_o mercy_n and_o after_o as_o every_o man_n feel_v himself_o bind_v unto_o he_o as_o all_o of_o we_o be_v exceed_o so_o to_o acknowledge_v by_o our_o thanksgiving_n that_o he_o be_v our_o righteousness_n our_o holiness_n our_o victory_n our_o joy_n our_o glory_n and_o our_o happiness_n that_o we_o may_v perform_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v say_v in_o jeremy_n whosoever_o glory_v let_v he_o glory_n in_o the_o lord_n 24._o because_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v righteousness_n justice_n and_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o upon_o our_o god_n or_o else_o all_o the_o virtuousness_n which_o we_o seem_v too_o have_v before_o man_n shall_v be_v but_o filth_n and_o dung_n now_o then_o have_v we_o faith_n charity_n must_v be_v match_v with_o it_o and_o we_o must_v live_v even_o and_o upright_o one_o with_o another_o &_o every_o of_o we_o acknowledge_v thus_o i_o be_v not_o create_v for_o myself_o nor_o to_o seek_v my_o own_o private_a benefit_n &_o commodity_n but_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o my_o neighbour_n also_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o abstain_v from_o all_o guile_n wrong_v outrage_n and_o malice_n and_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v each_o other_o turn_n according_a too_o our_o ability_n that_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o good_a life_n saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v already_o of_o faith_n add_v now_o that_o we_o must_v also_o be_v ground_v in_o charity_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o must_v not_o have_v alone_a some_o fit_n or_o pang_n of_o love_n as_o many_o man_n have_v but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o steadfastness_n and_o even_o hold_v on_o in_o it_o all_o our_o life_n long_o for_o a_o thing_n may_v give_v a_o great_a blaze_n and_o yet_o quail_v anon_o after_o behold_v a_o

that_o god_n will_n be_v too_o give_v the_o great_a beauty_n too_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n by_o such_o a_o after_o devil_n wherefore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o the_o way_n too_o advantage_n

which_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o saint_n paul_n example_n be_v that_o we_o must_v with_o all_o humility_n beseech_v god_n too_o work_v so_o in_o we_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n as_o

the_o least_o of_o all_o the_o saint_n this_o serve_v too_o expound_v that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o gift_n of_o grace_n now_o heruppon_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o if_o we_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o without_o cause_n set_v down_o here_o the_o top_n of_o all_o

of_o this_o transitory_a life_n will_v we_o yet_o at_o leastwize_n that_o sin_n shall_v not_o reign_v in_o we_o so_o then_o although_o we_o be_v stain_v with_o many_o vice_n yet_o let_v we_o so_o
