cause_v one_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o woman_n seed_n which_o shall_v subdue_v the_o devil_n and_o the_o devil_n shall_v do_v his_o indever_n to_o trip_v up_o his_o heel_n by_o tempt_v he_o all_o

sufficient_a through_o his_o divine_a nature_n to_o cleanse_v we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o three_o mark_n which_o i_o have_v show_v to_o be_v so_o needful_a in_o religion_n and_o so_o peculiar_a thereunto_o that_o wheresoever_o the_o same_o be_v find_v there_o be_v religion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o way_n to_o salvation_n and_o wheresoever_o the_o same_o want_v there_o be_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o sothen_n in_o the_o religion_n of_o israel_n we_o have_v all_o the_o three_o mark_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n israel_n namely_o the_o true_a god_n the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o mediator_n of_o salvation_n and_o i_o beseech_v all_o man_n to_o sooke_v well_o about_o they_o and_o to_o see_v whether_o they_o can_v find_v they_o elsewhere_o in_o any_o other_o of_o the_o religion_n that_o have_v be_v of_o old_a time_n nay_o asfor_a in_o they_o in_o stead_n of_o the_o true_a god_n we_o shall_v find_v devil_n man_n and_o stock_n in_o stead_n of_o god_n word_n to_o inlyghten_v we_o to_o soulehealth_n we_o shall_v find_v doubtful_a oracle_n and_o answer_n of_o idol_n vain_a fond_a without_o ground_n without_o end_n which_o speak_v not_o a_o whit_n of_o god_n glory_n nor_o of_o man_n welfare_n instead_o of_o a_o sufficient_a mediator_n we_o shall_v find_v a_o sort_n of_o wasshing_n that_o pass_v no_o further_o than_o the_o skin_n we_o shall_v find_v manslaughter_n and_o sacrifice_v of_o wretched_a kaytif_n condemn_v for_o their_o misdéede_n but_o how_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o religion_n where_o be_v no_o god_n or_o how_o shall_v religion_n be_v certain_a where_o god_n speak_v not_o or_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v a_o healthful_a one_o where_o he_o himself_o be_v not_o the_o mean_a of_o atonement_n certesse_n therefore_o let_v we_o say_v that_o only_o in_o israel_n be_v the_o true_a religion_n and_o that_o israel_n be_v as_o a_o school_n or_o university_n found_v by_o god_n wherein_o he_o himself_o voutsafe_v to_o teach_v that_o man_n may_v learn_v their_o own_o salvation_n but_o behold_v here_o be_v yet_o one_o objection_n ageinst_a god_n objection_n how_o happen_v it_o say_v they_o that_o this_o school_n be_v among_o this_o people_n only_o why_o be_v it_o not_o in_o all_o nation_n why_o be_v it_o not_o at_o leastwise_o in_o some_o other_o as_o well_o as_o in_o that_o o_o man_n it_o become_v man_n to_o hold_v his_o

it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o with_o he_o for_o with_o he_o thing_n be_v not_o rightuous_a furtherfoorth_o than_o he_o do_v they_o nevertheless_o i_o pray_v thou_o what_o can_v thou_o say_v that_o in_o

haste_v thou_o too_o allege_v here_o ageinst_a the_o rightuousenes_n of_o the_o creator_n after_o this_o follow_v a_o general_a corruption_n of_o mankind_n and_o god_n exhort_v they_o by_o noah_n to_o

that_o he_o voutsafe_v to_o reserve_v any_o man_n alive_a in_o the_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o even_o at_o that_o time_n he_o choose_v abraham_n out_o of_o the_o mid_n of_o idolatry_n manifest_v

to_o renew_v his_o covenant_n with_o they_o who_o then_o see_v not_o here_o both_o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o nation_n howbeit_o that_o all_o of_o they_o have_v refuse_v it_o and_o that_o when_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n renew_v it_o with_o abraham_n he_o renew_v it_o in_o effect_n with_o all_o man_n thou_o desire_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v just_a and_o yet_o

for_o ever_o thus_o desire_v thou_o thing_n both_o contrary_a in_o themselves_o &_o contrary_a to_o thy_o own_o meaning_n and_o therefore_o appeal_v not_o to_o god_n justice_n but_o cry_v unto_o he_o for_o mercy_n with_o both_o thy_o hand_n and_o yet_o in_o thy_o desire_v of_o this_o his_o mercy_n or_o grace_n there_o be_v yet_o another_o error_n in_o that_o thou_o will_v needs_o appoint_v he_o

for_o the_o create_v of_o thou_o who_o as_o then_o be_v not_o or_o what_o counsel_n will_v thou_o give_v he_o for_o the_o recreate_v of_o thou_o who_o be_v but_o the_o worse_o for_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v already_o thou_o will_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v reveal_v himself_o alike_o to_o all_o man_n he_o do_v that_o at_o the_o beginning_n well_o such_o revelation_n tend_v to_o a_o

why_o forbid_v he_o evil_a so_o rigorous_o and_o command_v good_a so_o express_o or_o to_o say_v better_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o mark_n which_o he_o aim_v at_o be_v god_n glory_n

and_o herewithal_o we_o see_v that_o thing_n in_o the_o observer_n of_o that_o law_n which_o be_v not_o read_v of_o any_o other_o namely_o that_o they_o have_v yield_v their_o life_n and_o incur_v

that_o they_o serve_v such_o a_o lawegiver_n as_o not_o only_o have_v power_n over_o the_o bark_n of_o man_n and_o over_o this_o present_a wretched_a life_n as_o other_o common_a lawgiver_n have_v

we_o come_v to_o the_o creator_n from_o move_v to_o a_o rest_n from_o novelty_n to_o a_o beginning_n and_o there_o man_n reason_n stay_v but_o although_o the_o first_o man_n may_v know_v when_o he_o
