mean_n according_a also_o as_o s._n paul_n intent_n here_o be_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o galathians_n to_o the_o pure_a truth_n from_o the_o which_o they_o have_v be_v lead_v away_o &_o seduce_v not_o that_o they_o have_v utter_o renounce_v jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o they_o have_v intermingle_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n thereby_o to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v there_o need_v other_o help_n thereunto_o according_a as_o in_o papistry_n it_o will_v well_o enough_o be_v grant_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o therewithal_o every_o man_n seek_v to_o compound_v with_o god_n &_o to_o make_v amends_n by_o himself_o now_o the_o galathians_n have_v already_o be_v imbure_v with_o the_o like_a error_n for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n show_v the_o that_o sin_n be_v none_o otherwize_v wipe_v out_o than_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o thintent_v that_o our_o faith_n may_v rest_v whole_o there_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v parttaker_n of_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n we_o must_v give_v over_o all_o our_o vain_a hope_n &_o all_o the_o illusion_n that_o the_o devil_n put_v in_o our_o mind_n when_o he_o turn_v we_o aside_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o from_o his_o only_a grace_n by_o make_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o god_n if_o we_o bring_v some_o amends_n with_o us._n to_o be_v short_a until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o wash_n wherewith_o to_o skoure_v out_o the_o spot_v of_o our_o iniquity_n but_o the_o blood_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v shed_v &_o wherewith_o we_o be_v rince_v through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v never_o come_v free_o unto_o god_n nor_o rest_n upon_o his_o favour_n &_o love_n but_o shall_v ever_o be_v wander_v in_o our_o own_o imagination_n &_o that_o shall_v be_v a_o due_a payment_n for_o our_o misbelefe_v in_o that_o we_o have_v not_o yield_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o honour_n that_o he_o deserve_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n here_o where_o s._n paul_n set_v the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o tell_v we_o that_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o amends_n of_o all_o our_o fault_n do_v as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v call_v any_o more_o too_o account_v before_o god_n and_o he_o say_v purposely_o that_o jesus_n christ_n give_v himself_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v the_o more_o bold_o take_v hold_v of_o his_o love._n for_o we_o see_v here_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v put_v forth_o himself_o too_o make_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o body_n &_o soul_n in_o somuch_o that_o he_o endure_v extreme_a anguish_n in_o his_o foul_a as_o he_o that_o be_v our_o borrow_v in_o the_o same_o and_o bear_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o our_o behalf_n and_o in_o his_o body_n also_o he_o endure_v all_o reproach_n and_o shame_n and_o therewithal_o also_o the_o horrible_a torment_n that_o can_v be_v devize_v and_o all_o this_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o show_v right_o well_o that_o the_o love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o be_v inestimable_a since_o he_o forget_v himself_o after_o that_o sort_n for_o our_o sake_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o herewithal_o s._n paul_n bring_v we_o always_o back_o too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n too_o show_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v in_o that_o wyze_n perform_v all_o that_o belong_v too_o our_o salvation_n it_o be_v not_o let_v but_o that_o god_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n utter_v his_o mercy_n in_o the_o same_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o text_n 16_o that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n but_o deliver_v he_o to_o death_n for_o us._n to_o the_o intent_n therefore_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v that_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o pacify_v god_n his_o father_n be_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n that_o he_o persuade_v he_o to_o alter_v his_o purpose_n as_o man_n be_v incline_v to_o such_o gross_a &_o earthly_a imagination_n s._n paul_n to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n be_v not_o reconcyle_v unto_o we_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n tell_v we_o express_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o jesus_n christ_n be_v deliver_v for_o our_o sin_n be_v for_o that_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v it_o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v angry_a with_o his_o child_n some_o other_o man_n may_v step_v in_o too_o appease_v his_o wrath_n and_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v supply_v the_o room_n of_o a_o three_o party_n but_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o so_o with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o offer_v himself_o in_o sacrifice_n too_o do_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n &_o to_o make_v we_o way_n unto_o god_n from_o who_o we_o be_v shut_v out_o before_o he_o come_v not_o as_o one_o that_o step_v in_o of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o as_o though_o god_n have_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o matter_n how_o then_o god_n as_o have_v be_v touch_v not_o long_o since_o do_v both_o hate_v we_o and_o love_v we_o before_o the_o reconciliation_n be_v make_v and_o why_o love_v he_o we_o because_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o again_o although_o he_o see_v we_o be_v so_o wretched_a and_o utter_o forlorn_v &_o damn_a folk_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o &_o will_v not_o have_v mankind_n to_o perish_v utter_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n love_v we_o notwithstanding_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o adam_n we_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o he_o &_o utter_o corrupt_v therewithal_o he_o do_v also_o hate_v we_o even_o because_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o rightuousnesse_n therefore_o he_o abhor_v the_o naughtiness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o by_o reason_n whereof_o there_o need_v a_o atonement_n to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v but_o yet_o must_v not_o that_o benefit_n be_v father_v upon_o any_o other_o than_o god_n you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v god_n do_v too_o send_v his_o only_a son_n and_o too_o give_v he_o over_o unto_o death_n for_o us._n and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o hatred_n between_o he_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v do_v away_o this_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o s._n paul_n word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n give_v himself_o to_o the_o death_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o same_o come_v not_o too_o pass_v without_o the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o have_v determine_v the_o same_o aforehande_v in_o his_o own_o everlasting_a purpose_n here_o first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v too_o magnify_v the_o mercy_n that_o be_v show_v we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o if_o god_n have_v but_o proclaim_v a_o pardon_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v take_v we_o to_o mercy_n though_o we_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o that_o have_v be_v very_o much_o yea_o and_o it_o have_v be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o magnify_v such_o a_o gracious_a goodness_n as_o it_o deserve_v but_o see_v he_o have_v lend_v we_o such_o a_o gage_n of_o his_o love_n as_o his_o own_o son_n and_o gyve_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o his_o person_n thereby_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o father_n it_o so_o far_o pass_v all_o that_o we_o have_v say_v that_o if_o all_o our_o wit_n be_v employ_v too_o woonder_v at_o such_o a_o goodness_n yet_o shall_v we_o never_o come_v to_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o the_o first_o place_n when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v too_o we_o of_o god_n will_n howbeit_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o even_o from_o the_o time_n that_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o hate_v we_o and_o to_o abhor_v we_o yea_o and_o even_o from_o the_o time_n that_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v in_o very_a deed_n he_o never_o cease_v to_o have_v some_o regard_n of_o we_o 10._o and_o to_o extend_v his_o pity_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o abide_v in_o our_o destruction_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o declare_v the_o same_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n but_o also_o have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o pledge_n as_o we_o see_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o his_o own_o son_n have_v answer_v for_o it_o now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o so_o gracious_a
than_o angelical_a conformity_n too_o all_o his_o commandment_n howbeit_o although_o he_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n although_o he_o change_v we_o and_o fashion_v we_o new_a again_o although_o he_o rein_v we_o back_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o will_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o full_a perfection_n in_o us._n and_o why_o for_o he_o intend_v to_o hold_v we_o still_o under_o the_o bridle_n of_o humility_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o know_v our_o own_o weakness_n and_o to_o groan_v for_o it_o before_o he_o and_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o pass_v judgement_n and_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v always_o in●etted_v unto_o he_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o god_n do_v not_o in_o this_o present_a life_n give_v we_o such_o perfection_n as_o be_v requisite_a to_o the_o full_a performance_n of_o his_o whole_a law_n therefore_o we_o can_v never_o do_v thorough_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v us._n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v they_o therefore_o this_o judgement_n be_v hundred_o down_o upon_o our_o head_n that_o he_o be_v curse_v which_o fulfil_v not_o all_o the_o thing_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o that_o say_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o reject_v the_o law_n or_o which_o keep_v no_o point_n at_o all_o of_o it_o but_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o discharge_v not_o himself_o of_o it_o point_n by_o point_n and_o through_o stitche_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o s._n james_n too_o the_o end_n too_o beat_v down_o man_n pride_n say_v that_o he_o which_o fail_v in_o any_o one_o point_n 10_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o whole_a we_o will_v think_v this_o to_o be_v very_o rough_a deal_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n what_o say_v we_o will_v god_n forget_v all_o the_o good_a that_o a_o man_n have_v do_v for_o the_o commit_n of_o some_o one_o only_a fault_n that_o will_v be_v count_v cruelty_n among_o man_n yea_o but_o s._n james_n add_v a_o reason_n say_v he_o that_o forbid_v to_o murder_v forbid_v also_o to_o commit_v whoredom_n and_o he_o that_o forbid_v to_o steal_v forbid_v all_o the_o residue_n too_o then_o if_o i_o think_v myself_o to_o have_v satisfy_v god_n in_o forbear_v theft_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_o a_o whoremaster_n have_v i_o not_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v leave_v all_o these_o peecing_n for_o if_o we_o bring_v god_n some_o one_o piece_n &_o let_v all_o the_o rest_n alone_o what_o a_o deal_n will_v that_o be_v ▪_o we_o see_v that_o one_o man_n be_v give_v to_o one_o vice_n &_o another_o to_o another_o and_o so_o every_o man_n will_v be_v privilege_v and_o dispense_v with_o under_o colour_n that_o he_o have_v do_v this_o or_o that_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o miss_v in_o some_o other_o point_n but_o god_n have_v not_o separate_v his_o commandment_n asunder_o he_o have_v not_o say_v too_o one_o man_n thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v and_o to_o another_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v

our_o life_n not_o by_o any_o one_o commandment_n alone_o but_o by_o all_o the_o whole_a law_n together_o but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o we_o can_v find_v any_o man_n that_o be_v faultless_a you_o

the_o scan_n of_o our_o salvation_n now_o remain_v that_o god_n be_v glorify_v in_o we_o as_o good_a reason_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o

until_o he_o have_v mislike_v all_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v erst_o esteem_v and_o have_v in_o reputation_n as_o his_o own_o rightuousnesse_n and_o holiness_n we_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n god_n wrought_v in_o the_o person_n of_o paul_n in_o somuch_o that_o in_o the_o first_o to_o timothy_n 13._o he_o set_v forth_o himself_o for_o a_o example_n &_o pattern_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v show_v in_o he_o that_o he_o be_v come_v to_o save_v all_o wretched_a sinner_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v too_o be_v receyve_v when_o we_o keep_v the_o right_a way_n what_o do_v frewill_n in_o s._n paul_n for_o the_o bring_n of_o he_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o gospel_n nothing_o but_o god_n be_v fain_o too_o thunder_v down_o upon_o he_o from_o heaven_n too_o drive_v out_o the_o pride_n and_o presumption_n that_o be_v in_o he_o he_o be_v not_o only_o draw_v by_o the_o hand_n but_o also_o god_n do_v cast_v so_o thick_a scale_n upon_o his_o eye_n that_o he_o be_v as_o a_o blind_a wretch_n and_o beside_o that_o he_o be_v strike_v too_o the_o ground_n and_o astonish_v too_o show_v that_o the_o knowledge_n and_o cunning_a which_o he_o think_v himself_o too_o have_v before_o be_v but_o stark_a blindness_n and_o that_o this_o darkness_n have_v serve_v too_o bring_v he_o too_o a_o new_a light_n for_o if_o god_n have_v let_v he_o still_o alone_o in_o his_o perfect_a plight_n sure_o there_o will_v always_o have_v remain_v some_o foolish_a selfeweening_n in_o he_o and_o he_o will_v always_o have_v mingle_v some_o trick_n of_o his_o own_o devyce_n and_o brain_n with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o therefore_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o be_v blind_v &_o to_o abide_v so_o for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o have_v erst_o be_v in_o great_a reputation_n and_o be_v tempt_v to_o hold_v his_o state_n still_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v bring_v down_o and_o lift_v up_o again_o and_o carry_v like_o a_o little_a babe_n or_o rather_o like_o a_o carcase_n or_o dead_a body_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o behove_v s._n paul_n too_o be_v correct_v after_o a_o violent_a manner_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o neither_o free_a will_n nor_o devotion_n nor_o holiness_n stand_v he_o in_o any_o steed_n but_o that_o all_o aught_o too_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o mere_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o in_o

it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o see_v we_o dispose_v thereunto_o or_o for_o that_o we_o be_v in_o any_o good_a readiness_n too_o it_o afore_o hand_n but_o because_o it_o please_v he_o too_o draw_v

as_o s._n paul_n be_v the_o way_n what_o we_o must_v take_v be_v to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o we_o but_o that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o receyve_v from_o above_o all_o the_o thing_n whereof_o we_o be_v destitute_a and_o too_o have_v god_n work_v in_o we_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o the_o praise_n of_o our_o salvation_n may_v be_v reserve_v too_o he_o

darnell_n as_o the_o ignorant_a and_o weak_a sort_n shall_v be_v hinder_v by_o it_o and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o mischief_n that_o may_v happen_v when_o such_o as_o have_v the_o

that_o shall_v be_v edify_v by_o they_o curse_a be_v he_o therefore_o that_o shall_v cast_v such_o a_o stumblingblocke_n in_o their_o way_n so_o then_o let_v we_o by_o all_o mean_v indever_n too_o

whole_o in_o god_n mere_a mercy_n but_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o a_o comparison_n of_o thing_n contrary_a and_o which_o can_v no_o more_o agree_v than_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o be_v of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o be_v of_o fatyh_n yet_o follow_v it_o not_o that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o of_o god_n insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o reject_v it_o at_o who_o do_v such_o contempt_n

the_o three_o to_o the_o roman_n â–ª_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a thing_n but_o the_o diversity_n of_o they_o be_v in_o this_o that_o such_o as_o misknowe_a themselves_o and_o be_v blind_v with_o

as_o though_o they_o be_v able_a too_o earn_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n at_o god_n hand_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n they_o that_o be_v needy_a yea_o or_o rather_o utter_o empty_a of_o themselves_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o grace_n in_o they_o they_o be_v of_o faith_n for_o why_o they_o forsake_v themselves_o and_o seek_v their_o rightuousnesse_n elsewhere_o they_o come_v and_o offer_v themselves_o like_o poor_a beggar_n unto_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v fill_v they_o whereas_o they_o be_v utter_o empty_a before_o therefore_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o scholepoynt_n that_o by_o the_o force_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v be_v quite_o rid_v of_o all_o selfetrust_a and_o of_o all_o overween_a of_o our_o

be_v fain_o too_o make_v we_o way_n thither_o and_o all_o this_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o word_n faith_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o imagination_n of_o man_n own_o forge_n it_o be_v a_o

else_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o follow_v of_o faith_n to_o be_v short_a whosoever_o have_v not_o be_v train_v in_o the_o gospel_n can_v have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o for_o god_n must_v first_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o love_v we_o or_o else_o we_o can_v rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n nor_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o this_o promise_n be_v god_n not_o only_o say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o but_o also_o tell_v we_o that_o although_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o accept_v we_o because_o he_o bury_v all_o our_o sin_n namely_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o sacrifice_n must_v needs_o come_v forth_o every_o where_n where_o any_o mention_n be_v make_v

of_o this_o promise_n where_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o be_v christ_n shed_v of_o his_o blood_n to_o wash_v away_o our_o spot_n and_o his_o offer_v up_o of_o himself_o for_o a_o full_a amends_n to_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o that_o if_o we_o be_v of_o faith_n we_o have_v our_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o rest_n and_o quietness_n be_v altogether_o in_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_a too_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n also_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o to_o be_v bless_v and_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v all_o one_o thing_n according_o as_o s._n paul_n declare_v here_o hardly_o shall_v a_o man_n find_v one_o among_o thirty_o of_o such_o as_o be_v call_v

notwithstanding_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n then_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o too_o have_v any_o rightuousnesse_n in_o a_o man_n self_n but_o to_o be_v

paul_n set_v down_o the_o word_n bless_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o word_n justify_v which_o he_o have_v use_v afore_o according_a to_o the_o four_o of_o the_o roman_n 5._o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v us._n forsomuch_o then_o as_o god_n be_v favourable_a and_o love_a to_o we_o and_o receyve_v we_o as_o his_o child_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o he_o and_o why_o justify_v because_o he_o can_v love_v sinner_n till_o he_o have_v forgive_v their_o sin_n and_o put_v they_o quite_o away_o we_o know_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v rightuous_a he_o can_v agree_v with_o sin_n but_o must_v needs_o always_o hate_v it_o then_o since_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o have_v his_o favour_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v first_o clenze_v of_o our_o offence_n for_o so_o long_o as_o they_o come_v to_o reckon_v god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o curse_v us._n but_o contrariwize_v when_o he_o wipe_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n then_o receyve_v he_o we_o to_o mercy_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n do_v we_o begin_v to_o be_v bless_v of_o he_o be_v we_o then_o bless_v that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v love_v of_o god_n very_o we_o be_v therewithal_o justify_v also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v whereas_o
let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o mercy_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o seek_v it_o in_o his_o name_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o any_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o

they_o yet_o be_v it_o after_o they_o make_v common_a too_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o why_o for_o it_o consist_v in_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o ceremony_n by_o this_o word_n spirit_n saint_n paul_n

because_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v abolish_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o promise_n be_v at_o this_o day_n call_v spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o

know_v that_o second_o covenante_n do_v always_o repeal_v former_a covenante_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o man_n have_v make_v any_o bargain_n yet_o they_o may_v advyze_v themselves_o better_a

may_v well_o be_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v by_o a_o second_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o promise_v yea_o and_o solemn_o bind_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o go_v back_o again_o but_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n howbeit_o if_o both_o the_o party_n agree_v too_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v consent_v on_o and_o be_v both_o of_o one_o mind_n then_o may_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v no_o fit_a similitude_n too_o take_v man_n that_o be_v

notwithstanding_o that_o the_o law_n come_v in_o after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n this_o will_v be_v still_o dark_a if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v in_o order_n i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o what_o comparison_n s._n paul_n make_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v salvation_n in_o his_o law_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o

so_o as_o they_o be_v ashamed_a too_o look_v upon_o themselves_o and_o therewithal_o also_o afraid_a and_o dismay_v know_v that_o god_n wrath_n wait_v ready_a for_o they_o till_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

ourselves_o too_o set_v more_o by_o that_o grace_n and_o honour_n than_o by_o all_o the_o good_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o proof_n thereof_o let_v we_o show_v also_o that_o we_o have_v a_o

saint_n paul_n here_o how_o the_o galathians_n have_v little_a regard_n of_o he_o but_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v raise_v he_o up_o and_o mean_v too_o show_v how_o dear_a we_o be_v
