here_o we_o then_o see_v how_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v which_o be_v this_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v that_o there_o want_v nothing_o to_o the_o finish_n of_o our_o

speak_v not_o of_o any_o trifle_a or_o ordinary_a thing_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o in_o his_o death_n we_o have_v all_o whatsoever_o that_o be_v to_o be_v have_v for_o our_o come_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o obtain_v of_o his_o grace_n not_o that_o his_o resurrection_n be_v hereby_o take_v away_o but_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o have_v faithful_o do_v his_o duty_n

of_o god_n and_o humble_v we_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o treatise_n and_o say_v that_o although_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v publish_v throughout_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n yet_o

the_o prophet_n cry_v out_o whenas_o god_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n will_v publish_v his_o gospel_n &_o yet_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v notwithstanding_o so_o few_o

what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o see_v so_o many_o people_n reject_v loath_a &_o conceive_v so_o great_a a_o hatred_n against_o the_o gospel_n &_o have_v rather_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o which_o so_o set_v themselves_o against_o god_n then_o quieth_o come_v near_o he_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n i_o say_v forsooth_o nothing_o else_o but_o that_o we_o imagine_v we_o have_v faith_n tie_v to_o our_o gyrdel_n howbeit_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o another_o manner_n of_o thing_n for_o he_o say_v that_o although_o god_n command_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v publish_v to_o all_o both_o good_a &_o bad_a yet_o work_v he_o such_o a_o secret_a effect_n in_o his_o choose_a as_o if_o he_o make_v they_o feel_v his_o arm_n &_o power_n and_o therefore_o let_v this_o be_v our_o observation_n that_o whensoever_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v it_o will_v be_v but_o as_o a_o unprofitable_a sound_n untyll_o such_o time_n as_o our_o lord_n show_v that_o it_o be_v he_o himself_o which_o speak_v neither_o bestow_v he_o this_o benefit_n upon_o all_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o reprobate_n and_o therefore_o that_o this_o privilege_n belong_v but_o to_o a_o few_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v &_o adopt_a to_o attain_v to_o everlasting_a life_n whenas_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o a_o most_o infallible_a truth_n whereto_o they_o must_v stick_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o place_n now_o we_o must_v hereupon_o be_v fence_a &_o arm_v against_o this_o object_n which_o the_o devil_n set_v before_o our_o eye_n whenas_o we_o see_v such_o a_o mighty_a number_n of_o people_n withstand_v the_o gospel_n even_o of_o

the_o first_o place_n what_o it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o out_o of_o these_o word_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v ascend_v have_v not_o only_o hold_v all_o our_o enemy_n captive_a

that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o his_o own_o free_a will_n offer_v up_o himself_o for_o these_o word_n to_o pour_v out_o signify_v that_o he_o spare_v not_o himself_o nor_o sorrow_v for_o

for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v so_o reject_v we_o as_o member_n cut_v of_o from_o he_o see_v he_o so_o utter_o as_o it_o be_v forsake_v himself_o for_o our_o sake_n and_o shed_v

one_o of_o the_o principall_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v this_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v appear_v from_o heaven_n now_o it_o can_v be_v that_o his_o come_n shall_v be_v unprofitable_a and_o therefore_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v look_v and_o wait_v for_o our_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n from_o thence_o neither_o must_v we_o stand_v any_o whit_n in_o doubt_n thereof_o because_o if_o we_o shall_v so_o do_v it_o be_v even_o enough_o to_o make_v whatsoever_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v of_o none_o effect_n for_o why_o come_v he_o down_o into_o the_o world_n why_o take_v he_o our_o flesh_n upon_o he_o why_o suffer_v he_o upon_o the_o cross_n why_o rise_v he_o again_o and_o why_o ascend_v he_o into_o heaven_n forsooth_o he_o do_v all_o this_o to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n that_o he_o will_v gather_v we_o together_o into_o his_o kingdom_n whenas_o he_o shall_v appear_v and_o therefore_o this_o his_o come_n be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o seal_v and_o ratify_v all_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v do_v and_o endure_v for_o our_o salvation_n now_o this_o be_v even_o sufficient_a to_o stay_v we_o for_o the_o resist_n of_o all_o the_o temptation_n in_o the_o world_n but_o because_o we_o be_v so_o frail_a and_o inconstant_a as_o that_o we_o can_v believe_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n himself_o say_v saint_n paul_n now_o use_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o argument_n the_o better_a to_o confirm_v we_o in_o this_o hope_n whereunto_o he_o have_v exhort_v we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o which_o be_v that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v so_o light_o set_v by_o by_o the_o contemner_n of_o his_o gospel_n who_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o his_o heavenly_a majesty_n neither_o will_v he_o suffer_v his_o creature_n to_o lift_v themselves_o up_o against_o he_o &_o to_o withstand_v he_o thus_o we_o see_v by_o how_o much_o more_o we_o shall_v be_v confirm_v in_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n see_v that_o god_n have_v a_o interest_n therein_o &_o be_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o be_v diligent_o to_o observe_v for_o although_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v god_n exceed_o assure_v we_o that_o he_o have_v great_a care_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o wonderful_a mistrustful_a as_o that_o we_o continual_o stand_v in_o doubt_n but_o when_o it_o be_v set_v down_o unto_o we_o the_o god_n will_v defend_v his_o own_o right_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o to_o tread_v his_o majesty_n under_o foot_n this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n which_o shall_v make_v we_o full_o assure_v and_o resolute_a and_o beside_o god_n show_v we_o such_o favour_n in_o join_v his_o glory_n with_o our_o salvation_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o inseparable_a bond_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o do_v not_o we_o see_v a_o infallible_a assurance_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n will_v come_v to_o give_v we_o rest_v and_o quietness_n because_o it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v but_o that_o god_n will_v mainteyn_fw-mi his_o majesty_n against_o the_o pride_n and_o enmity_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o diligent_o mark_v that_o jesus_n christ_n can_v maintain_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n but_z that_o he_o must_v eftsoon_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o redeemer_n and_o these_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v can_v be_v sunder_v wherefore_o we_o herein_o see_v the_o infinite_a love_n of_o our_o god_n towards_o his_o faithful_a one_o whenas_o he_o conjoin_v himself_o in_o â—uch_o sort_n with_o they_o for_o as_o he_o can_v possible_o forget_v his_o own_o glory_n no_o more_o can_v he_o also_o forget_v our_o salvation_n and_o as_o he_o will_v show_v his_o power_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o all_o such_o as_o resist_v he_o even_o so_o will_v he_o likewise_o punish_v all_o those_o that_o have_v unjust_o afflict_v his_o choose_a people_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o s._n paul_n his_o meaning_n be_v when_o as_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v to_o render_v vengeance_n to_o all_o those_o which_o have_v not_o know_v god_n and_o obey_v his_o gospel_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v behold_v your_o enemy_n which_o persecute_v you_o now_o you_o be_v in_o doubt_n whether_o god_n regard_v your_o affliction_n and_o whether_o he_o have_v compassion_n of_o you_o or_o not_o for_o the_o remedy_n of_o they_o what_o think_v you_o that_o god_n make_v no_o reckon_n to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v his_o glory_n now_o as_o the_o adversary_n afflict_v you_o for_o cleave_v unto_o the_o gospel_n even_o so_o likewise_o will_v god_n in_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o own_o cause_n be_v your_o protector_n and_o defendor_n and_o by_o the_o way_n s._n paul_n also_o give_v we_o here_o in_o this_o place_n many_o profitable_a advertisemente_n for_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o vengeance_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o our_o enemy_n he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v with_o the_o angel_n of_o his_o power_n and_o in_o flame_a fire_n but_o to_o what_o end_n forsooth_o to_o confirm_v his_o say_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o truth_n say_v he_o may_v sustain_v their_o punishment_n both_o before_o god_n and_o his_o majesty_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v sure_o you_o can_v no_o more_o comprehend_v the_o torment_n which_o the_o faithless_a shall_v suffer_v then_o we_o do_v see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n speak_v of_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v without_o end_n and_o measure_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o wonder_v at_o it_o even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o the_o horrible_a vengeance_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o all_o the_o faithless_a see_v god_n must_v show_v forth_o his_o power_n upon_o they_o for_o since_o his_o majesty_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v inestimable_a therefore_o must_v their_o torment_n be_v also_o incomprehensible_a for_o our_o cause_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o point_n moreover_o when_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o infidel_n and_o of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n he_o say_v that_o they_o know_v he_o not_o nor_o yet_o obey_v his_o gospel_n or_o that_o they_o be_v
withal_o he_o begin_v to_o prepare_v we_o to_o that_o which_o he_o will_v speak_v afterward_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o what_o end_n this_o word_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n be_v send_v we_o of_o

have_v not_o do_v this_o honour_n unto_o the_o mighty_a man_n of_o this_o world_n neither_o to_o the_o wise_a nor_o to_o the_o rich_a either_o yet_o to_o the_o noble_a but_o have_v choose_v very_a

so_o carry_v we_o away_o 3.18_o 1._o cor._n 3.18_o as_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o wonder_a secret_n of_o god_n after_o our_o own_o fantasy_n but_o simple_o worship_n they_o moreover_o let_v we_o consider_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o these_o shepherd_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v think_v it_o no_o hard_a thing_n to_o follow_v they_o for_o they_o come_v to_o worship_n the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n but_o in_o what_o case_n find_v they_o he_o forsooth_o they_o find_v he_o lodge_v in_o a_o manger_n and_o swaddle_v in_o poor_a and_o simple_a swaddle_a clout_n according_a to_o the_o sign_n which_o the_o angel_n have_v give_v they_o now_o this_o strange_a sight_n seem_v to_o abash_v they_o yea_o and_o to_o make_v they_o go_v back_o and_o not_o to_o acknowledge_v jesus_n christ_n to_o

all_o the_o world_n under_o his_o subjection_n and_o be_v in_o such_o wonder_a prosperity_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o world_n at_o
second_o that_o we_o shall_v abhor_v our_o sin_n as_o we_o ought_v and_o to_o be_v true_o ashamed_a to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o god._n the_o third_o that_o we_o may_v

it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o everlasting_a death_n and_o purchase_v for_o we_o everlasting_a life_n we_o must_v therefore_o in_o the_o first_o

death_n after_o a_o other_o sort_n but_o his_o good_a will_n be_v large_o to_o bestow_v and_o pour_v upon_o we_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n when_o as_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n will_v herein_o give_v we_o a_o excellent_a pawn_n of_o his_o wonderful_a care_n towards_o we_o when_o as_o he_o offer_v himself_o willing_o to_o death_n for_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v touch_v to_o the_o quick_a nor_o inflame_v to_o praise_v our_o god_n without_o we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n do_v examine_v our_o estate_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v throw_v down_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o hell_n know_v what_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v provoke_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o become_v our_o mortal_a enemy_n have_v he_o as_o a_o terrible_a and_o fearful_a judge_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_o that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n have_v conspire_v against_o we_o then_o that_o we_o shall_v once_o

sin_n that_o they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v most_o miserable_a and_o fear_v their_o estate_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v thereby_o know_v how_o great_o they_o be_v behold_v and_o bind_v unto_o god_n in_o that_o he_o have_v compassion_n upon_o they_o and_o see_v they_o in_o a_o desperate_a case_n have_v very_o good_a will_n to_o help_v they_o without_o regard_n of_o any_o their_o

god_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o our_o mind_n and_o affection_n so_o keep_v we_o back_o as_o that_o we_o have_v need_n to_o make_v much_o of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n as_o it_o be_v worthy_a and_o know_v with_o how_o dear_a a_o price_n it_o be_v purchase_v for_o us._n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o mean_a to_o suffer_v death_n and_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o appease_v the_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n but_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v true_o and_o indeed_o be_v our_o pledge_n he_o refuse_v not_o to_o abide_v the_o anguish_n and_o grief_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o all_o such_o as_o in_o conscience_n be_v touch_v and_o feel_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o everlasting_a death_n and_o condemnation_n before_o god_n let_v we_o then_o hear_v right_o note_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o content_v to_o offer_v up_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o yield_v himself_o unto_o death_n but_o will_v withal_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n in_o the_o name_n and_o person_n of_o all_o sinner_n ready_a there_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o that_o because_o he_o bear_v our_o burden_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v ashamed_a see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v submit_v himself_o to_o such_o a_o infirmity_n neither_o be_v it_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o cross_n albeit_o it_o be_v to_o some_o foolishness_n and_o a_o offence_n to_o many_o for_o the_o more_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v humble_v we_o see_v thereby_o that_o the_o offence_n for_o the_o which_o we_o be_v in_o arrearage_n and_o behind_o with_o god_n can_v not_o be_v abolish_v without_o great_a extremity_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v make_v weak_a that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v strong_a by_o his_o power_n and_o beside_o he_o will_v abide_v all_o our_o suffering_n sin_n except_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v be_v ready_a at_o this_o day_n to_o help_v us._n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o feel_v in_o his_o own_o person_n the_o fear_n doubt_n and_o torment_n which_o we_o endure_v he_o will_v not_o be_v so_o incline_v to_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o as_o he_o be_v we_o say_v that_o he_o who_o know_v not_o what_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n mean_v will_v never_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o have_v compassion_n upon_o those_o that_o feel_v it_o because_o they_o have_v always_o take_v their_o ease_n and_o live_v in_o pleasure_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o although_o god_n in_o his_o own_o nature_n suffer_v not_o any_o of_o our_o passion_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o be_v courteous_a unto_o we_o but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n nevertheless_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n know_v our_o weakness_n to_o help_v it_o &_o that_o we_o may_v come_v the_o bold_o unto_o he_o &_o have_v a_o more_o familiar_a access_n the_o apostle_n say_v 2.10_o hebr._n 2.10_o that_o he_o will_v for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v tempt_v even_o as_o we_o be_v so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v read_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v come_v into_o this_o village_n of_o gethsamene_n &_o namely_o into_o the_o mount_n olivet_n it_o be_v to_o offer_v himself_o willing_o to_o death_n and_o herein_o his_o will_n be_v to_o be_v discharge_v of_o the_o office_n &_o charge_n that_o be_v commit_v unto_o he_o for_o why_o clothe_v he_o himself_o with_o our_o flesh_n &_o nature_n without_o it_o be_v to_o repair_v all_o our_o rebellion_n through_o his_o obedience_n to_o the_o end_n to_o purchase_v we_o full_a &_o perfect_a righteousness_n before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o therefore_o offer_v he_o himself_o to_o death_n because_o we_o may_v not_o be_v reconcile_v by_o any_o other_o mean_v neither_o yet_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n provoke_v by_o sin_n but_o by_o this_o only_a obedience_n thus_o we_o see_v why_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v free_o unto_o the_o place_n where_o he_o know_v that_o judas_n shall_v find_v he_o and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o because_o our_o father_n adam_n through_o his_o transgression_n have_v throw_v we_o all_o

5.19_o rom._n 5.19_o for_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v all_o our_o sin_n &_o offence_n so_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o grace_n

that_o god_n may_v have_v mastery_n over_o we_o there_o be_v also_o a_o very_a notable_a say_n whenas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n watch_n and_o pray_v that_o you_o

that_o necessity_n must_v drive_v we_o to_o be_v watchful_a wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o causeless_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v abide_v many_o alarm_n for_o that_o

that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n say_v that_o we_o must_v stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n lest_o we_o enter_v into_o temptation_n moreover_o although_o we_o be_v wakeful_a and_o keep_v good_a watch_n yet_o

because_o it_o be_v a_o special_a grace_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o his_o choose_a whenas_o he_o touch_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o although_o they_o fall_v yet_o lift_v he_o they_o

we_o must_v not_o become_v like_o wild_a and_o savage_a beast_n see_v we_o can_v escape_v the_o hand_n and_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n but_o let_v we_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o abhor_v it_o and_o still_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n with_o out_o enforcement_n and_o worship_v he_o willing_o &_o confess_v the_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o destruction_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o be_v assure_v that_o although_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o death_n that_o he_o will_v always_o have_v compassion_n on_o we_o for_o we_o see_v how_o peter_n repent_v but_o the_o repentance_n of_o

to_o consider_v because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a number_n and_o almost_o all_o man_n do_v flatter_v themselves_o for_o they_o think_v that_o if_o they_o have_v in_o word_n acknowledge_v their_o

be_v so_o let_v we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o that_o although_o there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n many_o pylate_n which_o refuse_v to_o learn_v in_o the_o school_n of_o god_n and_o to_o become_v

set_v before_o we_o because_o we_o know_v that_o the_o truth_n will_v not_o grow_v up_o in_o our_o mind_n by_o reason_n they_o be_v full_a of_o vanity_n and_o leasinge_n and_o we_o plunge_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o darkness_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n draw_v we_o out_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o truth_n far_o pass_v our_o mind_n and_o power_n and_o that_o god_n must_v be_v our_o master_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o it_o &_o we_o also_o very_o young_a and_o feeble_a to_o receive_v that_o which_o he_o show_v we_o and_o let_v we_o hold_v this_o

of_o now_o it_o be_v by_o &_o by_o say_v that_o as_o pilate_n be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o judgement_n seat_n his_o wife_n send_v unto_o he_o and_o pray_v he_o not_o to_o condenne_n jesus_n christ_n

of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o so_o forsomuch_o as_o his_o will_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v but_o it_o must_v also_o needs_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n must_v be_v prove_v a_o just_a &_o a_o innocent_a man_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v conden_v for_o our_o sake_n of_o which_o condemnation_n we_o be_v guilty_a &_o that_o whensoever_o we_o hear_v of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v continual_o remember_v our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n hereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o pilate_n desire_v to_o let_v loose_a our_o lord_n jesus_n for_o although_o he_o have_v the_o chief_a authority_n without_o controlment_n yet_o because_o he_o be_v in_o a_o strange_a country_n and_o among_o a_o mutinous_a company_n yea_o &_o have_v a_o garrison_n in_o the_o town_n the_o sedition_n trouble_v he_o and_o here_o we_o see_v what_o the_o cause_n be_v why_o he_o will_v subtle_o &_o friendly_o proceed_v in_o the_o matter_n forsooth_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n that_o he_o will_v have_v appease_v the_o people_n then_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o offer_v they_o their_o ancient_a custom_n which_o be_v that_o every_o easter_n he_o shall_v let_v loose_a unto_o they_o whatsoever_o prisoner_n they_o will_v for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v die_v that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o shall_v be_v offer_v for_o our_o salvation_n &_o redemption_n god_n have_v but_o one_o only_a &_o plain_a will_n &_o meaning_n but_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o we_o &_o his_o proceed_n be_v so_o strange_a that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o yet_o confess_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v suffer_v but_o not_o as_o man_n will_v but_o because_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o pawn_n of_o the_o infinite_a

therefore_o let_v we_o well_o consider_v of_o all_o these_o thing_n moreover_o in_o the_o end_n john_n say_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n be_v scourge_v yet_o that_o the_o people_n strain_a themselves_o to_o cry_v out_o the_o loud_o to_o have_v he_o put_v to_o death_n then_o pilate_n rehearse_v again_o that_o he_o hear_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o word_n that_o touch_v he_o and_o be_v more_o a_o fear_v of_o that_o than_o he_o
must_v needs_o submit_v myself_o unto_o he_o but_o within_o a_o while_n after_o he_o become_v worse_o than_o ever_o he_o be_v even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o pilate_n now_o this_o be_v to_o admonish_v we_o that_o we_o make_v not_o account_v of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o blast_n of_o wind_n but_o let_v it_o be_v strong_o root_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o how_o do_v pilate_n fear_n god_n forsooth_o it_o be_v such_o a_o fear_n as_o make_v he_o only_o to_o be_v more_o inexcusable_a and_o here_o we_o may_v see_v why_o god_n awaken_v the_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o be_v a_o sleep_n and_o will_v utter_o cast_v of_o the_o yoke_n which_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o more_o narrow_a consideration_n of_o themselves_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v spite_n of_o their_o téethe_n to_o acknowledge_v their_o misery_n and_o feel_v their_o sin_n although_o they_o will_v walter_n themselves_o asleep_a in_o they_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o doubt_n which_o all_o the_o contemner_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wicked_a have_v be_v even_o so_o many_o adiournament_n or_o day_n over_o which_o god_n grant_v they_o to_o make_v they_o void_a of_o all_o excuse_n of_o ignorance_n but_o anon_o after_o they_o let_v slip_v the_o rhine_n and_o run_v at_o random_n without_o any_o stay_n as_o here_o we_o see_v pilate_n do_v at_o the_o beginning_n he_o be_v great_o afeard_a but_o soon_o after_o he_o return_v to_o his_o old_a bias_n again_o for_o thus_o he_o say_v to_o jesus_n know_v not_o thou_o that_o i_o have_v power_n to_o loose_v and_o condemn_v thou_o let_v we_o here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n note_n that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o thief_n yet_o can_v not_o he_o once_o remove_v his_o finger_n without_o god_n have_v give_v he_o power_n how_o then_o dare_v pilate_n warrant_v himself_o such_o a_o outrageous_a licence_n to_o condemn_v and_o pardon_v as_o please_v he_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o set_v at_o liberty_n all_o thief_n to_o rob_v and_o spoil_v in_o the_o wood_n then_o to_o set_v man_n in_o so_o honourable_a a_o place_n who_o take_v pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o their_o authority_n and_o never_o have_v any_o care_n of_o conscience_n but_o bring_v the_o whole_a world_n unto_o confusion_n now_o we_o see_v here_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o pilate_n his_o fear_n never_o take_v deep_a root_n in_o he_o but_o be_v only_o a_o puff_a of_o wind_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v azure_n and_o constant_a fear_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n and_o valiant_o fight_v against_o whatsoever_o may_v put_v we_o by_o and_o always_o thus_o restrain_v ourselves_o as_o that_o we_o provoke_v not_o he_o to_o wrath_n who_o have_v all_o power_n over_o us._n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v here_o to_o consider_v of_o let_v we_o also_o beside_o consider_v that_o the_o glory_n which_o pilate_n attribute_v to_o himself_o be_v notwithstanding_o turn_v to_o his_o great_a shame_n for_o his_o enemy_n can_v never_o speak_v worse_o of_o he_o then_o for_o this_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v be_v take_v to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o no_o discretion_n to_o discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o yet_o he_o boast_v himself_o of_o it_o here_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o high_a the_o despiser_n of_o god_n think_v to_o advance_v themselves_o they_o must_v always_o feel_v that_o they_o be_v the_o more_o shameful_o to_o be_v throw_v down_o and_o god_n so_o give_v they_o over_o into_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n as_o that_o they_o brag_v of_o their_o iniquity_n that_o they_o may_v become_v detestable_a both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n what_o be_v there_o then_o for_o we_o to_o do_v forsooth_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o glory_n in_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o which_o glory_n in_o their_o mightiness_n and_o in_o their_o authority_n without_o doubt_n do_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o anger_n because_o they_o have_v many_o time_n get_v their_o riches_n and_o credit_n by_o unlawful_a mean_n as_o by_o riot_v cruelty_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o extortion_n wherefore_o when_o they_o glory_v herein_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o set_v themselves_o against_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o that_o have_v get_v every_o way_n by_o spoil_n will_v say_v i_o be_o wealthy_a and_o see_v he_o will_v say_v i_o have_v get_v whenas_o he_o have_v suck_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o poor_a out_o of_o they_o but_o how_o sure_o by_o deceit_n and_o wicked_a practice_n in_o rob_v the_o one_o and_o glut_v the_o other_o another_o man_n through_o abition_n and_o unlawful_a mean_n be_v advance_v to_o some_o honour_n and_o hereupon_o forsooth_o this_o man_n will_v be_v great_o fear_v and_o this_o kind_n of_o deal_n be_v manifest_o to_o stand_v against_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o glory_n in_o that_o which_o god_n allow_v and_o like_v of_o true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o there_o be_v valour_n in_o we_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o usurp_v the_o commendation_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o himself_o and_o for_o the_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o honour_v he_o because_o all_o that_o we_o have_v come_v of_o his_o free_a gift_n wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o without_o doubt_n glory_n in_o ourselves_o as_o if_o that_o which_o god_n give_v we_o appertein_v unto_o we_o but_o i_o say_v our_o glory_n shall_v be_v only_o in_o this_o that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o adopt_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o have_v give_v we_o his_o grace_n to_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n and_o power_n also_o to_o abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o héerin_o aught_o to_o be_v all_o our_o glory_n and_o beside_o if_o we_o be_v of_o no_o reputation_n in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o beseech_v he_o to_o grant_v we_o patience_n and_o rather_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o this_o estate_n then_o to_o be_v exalt_v and_o yet_o to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a but_o not_o as_o the_o worldling_n do_v who_o make_v themselves_o such_o sport_n as_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v they_o in_o and_o therefore_o the_o sum_n and_o effect_n wherein_o we_o must_v glory_v be_v this_o to_o will_n and_o desire_n no_o more_o than_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v and_o set_v ourselves_o against_o whatsoever_o he_o mislike_v of_o although_o the_o world_n and_o all_o such_o as_o commit_v tyranny_n and_o exceed_v in_o do_v wicked_o rejoice_v in_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o glad_o and_o willing_o leave_v all_o these_o glory_n desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o have_v god_n to_o acknowledge_v and_o allow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v here_o to_o consider_v of_o now_o for_o a_o full_a conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o pilate_n see_v he_o prevail_v nothing_o and_o that_o the_o people_n make_v a_o great_a stir_n he_o wash_v his_o hand_n and_o say_v i_o be_o innocent_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o this_o man_n we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n must_v be_v find_v innocent_a even_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o judge_n own_o mouth_n for_o where_o it_o be_v lay_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v condemn_v and_o suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o we_o that_o we_o have_v understand_v the_o history_n but_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o acknowledge_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o innocent_a but_o be_v also_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o holiness_n and_o perfection_n why_o then_o be_v he_o condemn_v 3.13_o john_n

because_o he_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v condemn_v as_o a_o sacrifice_n this_o word_n lamb_n import_v that_o he_o must_v be_v offer_v up_o and_o what_o

we_o know_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o mirror_n of_o all_o perfection_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o trial_n and_o examine_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v displease_v with_o they_o and_o condemn_v

consider_v better_o of_o the_o matter_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v bedew_v all_o nation_n be_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o although_o he_o be_v a_o dry_a and_o fruitless_a block_n yet_o shall_v all_o the_o world_n be_v bedeaw_v through_o his_o power_n and_o virtue_n to_o be_v short_a he_o show_v that_o god_n will_v work_v after_o a_o incomprehensible_a manner_n and_o that_o the_o jew_n shall_v not_o look_v for_o any_o worldly_a help_n but_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v surpass_v all_o man_n thought_n and_o imagination_n for_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o miracle_n our_o sense_n must_v needs_o fail_v we_o and_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o mystery_n that_o be_v to_o say_v secret_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a judge_n nor_o arbiter_n or_o day_n man_n to_o say_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o but_o let_v we_o worship_v the_o thing_n that_o can_v sink_v into_o our_o brain_n nor_o which_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o reason_n of_o and_o thus_o much_o we_o have_v in_o sum_n to_o consider_v of_o now_o this_o admonition_n appertain_v to_o we_o for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v we_o shall_v abide_v to_o be_v bedew_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o although_o he_o have_v appear_v to_o be_v as_o one_o that_o be_v fruitless_a and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o find_v in_o he_o worthy_a reputation_n yet_o when_o he_o shall_v offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o come_v near_o we_o let_v we_o not_o thrust_v he_o back_o through_o misbelief_n but_o rather_o give_v he_o free_a access_n through_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n moreover_o he_o say_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v bedeaw_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o they_o say_v he_o who_o never_o hear_v any_o speech_n of_o he_o shall_v hear_v of_o he_o and_o they_o which_o never_o understand_v shall_v understand_v of_o he_o here_o the_o prophet_n amplifi_v his_o purpose_n show_v that_o god_n the_o father_n will_v send_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n unto_o the_o jew_n although_o he_o be_v lively_o promise_v unto_o they_o but_o also_o unto_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o to_o prove_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o be_v thus_o 15.21_o rom._n 15.21_o s._n paul_n himself_o say_v as_o much_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n apply_v this_o say_n unto_o he_o be_v send_v into_o strange_a country_n have_v travel_v here_o and_o there_o fill_v all_o nation_n with_o the_o gospel_n &_o in_o such_o place_n as_o god_n be_v never_o speak_v of_o preach_v not_o only_o unto_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o unto_o the_o gentile_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o drift_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o this_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o a_o key_n to_o open_v unto_o we_o the_o kingdom_n god_n for_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o be_v promise_v but_o only_o to_o the_o line_n of_o abraham_n what_o have_v we_o be_v the_o better_a for_o he_o for_o although_o he_o be_v a_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n yet_o be_v this_o nothing_o to_o we_o we_o have_v neither_o part_n nor_o portion_n herein_o but_o because_o it_o be_v tell_v of_o so_o long_a time_n before_o he_o be_v send_v that_o he_o shall_v bedew_v all_o people_n forsooth_o because_o that_o they_o which_o never_o before_o understand_v may_v understand_v and_o that_o they_o to_o who_o it_o

come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o accomplish_v whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n insomuch_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v now_o as_o a_o rain_n to_o

by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o may_v feel_v what_o the_o death_n of_o our_o redeemer_n be_v worth_a and_o what_o it_o avayl_v we_o and_o that_o his_o life_n be_v the_o perfection_n of_o our_o joy_n now_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o prophet_n will_v never_o have_v speak_v here_o of_o the_o jew_n have_v they_o not_o be_v bring_v up_o &_o acquaint_v with_o

of_o israel_n &_o have_v he_o in_o contempt_n and_o the_o gentile_n make_v a_o scorn_n at_o the_o true_a religion_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v hear_v and_o have_v hear_v 10.17_o

when_o as_o he_o say_v who_o will_v believe_v our_o preach_n and_o to_o who_o shall_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v reveal_v here_o the_o prophet_n pause_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o word_n and_o cry_v out_o as_o one_o that_o be_v merueylous_o astonish_v and_o this_o place_n be_v great_o worth_a the_o note_n we_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o exhort_v the_o faithful_a to_o magnanimity_n

to_o make_v we_o acceptable_a unto_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o blot_v out_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o we_o ourselves_o also_o must_v make_v recompense_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o devise_v of_o their_o work_n of_o supererogation_n as_o to_o wander_v up_o &_o down_o like_o rog_n a_o pilgrimage_n to_o have_v many_o trental_n of_o mass_n &_o such_o like_a devilish_a

&_o passion_n have_v we_o this_o let_v we_o then_o with_o bold_a cheer_n &_o countenance_n come_v before_o our_o god_n &_o yet_o not_o so_o but_o that_o we_o must_v always_o humble_v ourselves_o &_o

&_o what_o remedy_n be_v to_o be_v have_v shall_v we_o seek_v for_o help_v at_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n alas_o they_o can_v do_v no_o good_a and_o therefore_o we_o must_v go_v unto_o our_o lord_n

that_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o be_v at_o quiet_a with_o ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o must_v still_o be_v extreme_o torment_v &_o vex_v be_v it_o not_o that_o jesus_n christ_n comfort_v we_o and_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o us._n now_o when_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o this_o it_o give_v we_o occasion_n to_o sing_v praise_n unto_o his_o holy_a name_n where_o before_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o groan_v and_o be_v utter_o confound_v and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n now_o s._n matthew_n allege_v this_o place_n 8.17_o mat._n 8.17_o when_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o all_o the_o disease_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n heal_v how_o he_o make_v the_o blind_a to_o see_v the_o lame_a to_o go_v the_o deaf_a to_o hear_v set_v a_o foot_n such_o as_o be_v half_o dead_a &_o sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n &_o cast_v devil_n out_o of_o man_n body_n this_o say_v he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o he_o bear_v our_o infirmity_n and_o sustain_v our_o grief_n without_o doubt_n the_o prophet_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o bodily_a disease_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o evangelist_n have_v apply_v this_o testimony_n but_o ill_a but_o he_o in_o declare_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n heal_v outward_a disease_n mean_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o high_a consideration_n because_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o behold_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o figure_n the_o reason_n of_o his_o come_n into_o the_o

spiritual_a physician_n &_o let_v we_o also_o learn_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o all_o the_o vice_n whereunto_o we_o be_v incline_v be_v so_o many_o corruption_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o as_o there_o be_v many_o evil_a humour_n in_o the_o body_n even_o so_o likewise_o
satan_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o make_v a_o observation_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o as_o god_n have_v not_o set_v down_o in_o the_o law_n and_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o serve_v i_o this_o way_n and_o that_o as_o please_v you_o but_o place_v and_o ordain_v the_o sacrifice_n &_o ceremony_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n &_o thereon_o stay_v themselves_o without_o devise_v any_o new_a and_o strange_a kind_n of_o service_n &_o mean_v to_o obtain_v favour_n &_o grace_n even_o so_o likewise_o must_v we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v content_v with_o the_o

which_o also_o he_o will_v receive_v &_o adopt_v we_o unto_o himself_o thus_o we_o namely_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n mean_v to_o offer_v here_o unto_o us._n now_o it_o be_v moreover_o say_v that_o he_o will_v prolong_v his_o day_n &_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n to_o be_v permanent_a &_o that_o the_o will_v or_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n here_o he_o bring_v we_o yet_o once_o again_o back_o unto_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o glory_n &_o excellency_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o assure_a that_o we_o may_v come_v unto_o he_o for_o if_o he_o have_v remove_v in_o death_n as_o a_o vanquish_a person_n it_o have_v be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o have_v be_v ever_o justify_v &_o quicken_v by_o his_o grace_n for_o how_o can_v death_n a_o lone_a have_v bring_v righteousness_n &_o life_n with_o it_o as_o of_o itself_o but_o because_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n he_o rise_v again_o therein_o rest_v our_o full_a &_o whole_a confidence_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o we_o have_v obtain_v victory_n over_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n we_o

he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o so_o exempt_v himself_o from_o all_o humane_a frailty_n this_o than_o it_o be_v whereon_o we_o must_v build_v our_o faith_n in_o he_o when_o as_o we_o see_v he_o to_o have_v in_o such_o sort_n overcome_v death_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o triumph_v over_o he_o as_o that_o after_o that_o he_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n he_o be_v receive_v and_o

of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o separate_v himself_o from_o it_o 2.11_o heb._n 2.11_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n true_a it_o be_v we_o be_v call_v the_o brethren_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o we_o can_v not_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o by_o the_o same_o name_n and_o therefore_o he_o who_o be_v the_o only_o belove_a must_v receive_v and_o join_v we_o so_o unto_o himself_o as_o that_o we_o may_v have_v that_o by_o adoption_n which_o be_v only_o he_o by_o nature_n

out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n endure_v for_o ever_o because_o by_o it_o we_o be_v make_v incorruptible_a 40.8_o isaiah_n 40.8_o whenas_o we_o receive_v

beget_v we_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n forsooth_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a seed_n to_o quicken_v us._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o say_v here_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v a_o seed_n of_o long_a continuance_n or_o a_o everlasting_a seed_n so_o then_o we_o be_v again_o to_o conclude_v that_o the_o benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n obtain_v by_o his_o resurrection_n be_v not_o particular_a for_o himself_o alone_o but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v part_n thereof_o and_o be_v call_v unto_o his_o company_n because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n now_o we_o be_v here_o by_o the_o way_n admonish_v not_o to_o seek_v for_o one_o drop_n of_o life_n in_o ourselves_o but_o to_o take_v it_o whole_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n why_o how_o will_v god_n then_o acknowledge_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n how_o shall_v we_o have_v any_o place_n in_o his_o church_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v take_v to_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n forsooth_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o point_n because_o we_o be_v partaker_n with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n accept_v of_o we_o this_o be_v our_o beget_n and_o first_o birth_n and_o now_o let_v our_o fréewill_n man_n go_v and_o brag_v of_o their_o free_a will_n by_o which_o they_o suppose_v themselves_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o what_o ability_n be_v he_o able_a to_o have_v to_o do_v either_o good_a or_o ill_a that_o be_v not_o yet_o beget_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o his_o mother_n wherefore_o let_v we_o understande_v thus_o much_o that_o since_o our_o chief_a and_o first_o creation_n be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v beget_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o be_v

he_o whereof_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o effect_n of_o all_o that_o which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o but_o by_o the_o way_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v also_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o better_a taste_n of_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n it_o be_v say_v because_o he_o give_v his_o soul_n a_o offer_n for_o sin_n to_o wit_n for_o satisfaction_n or_o for_o sacrifice_n that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n for_o we_o right_o well_o show_v that_o we_o will_v blot_v out_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n if_o we_o glorify_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o say_v true_o they_o that_o proud_o disdain_v to_o cleave_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o be_v crucify_v right_o declare_v that_o they_o have_v not_o know_v the_o end_n thereof_o for_o without_o it_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o sure_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o church_n in_o the_o

scripture_n also_o oftentimes_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v redeem_v with_o no_o small_a price_n and_o thus_o much_o we_o
have_v bestow_v one_o piece_n of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n and_o another_o in_o that_o and_o have_v divide_v it_o even_o as_o please_v themselves_o and_o whereas_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v have_v

this_o sin_n to_o magnify_v creature_n and_o to_o rob_v christ_n jesus_n of_o his_o glory_n let_v we_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o remember_v that_o which_o be_v say_v that_o john_n baptize_v with_o water_n to_o show_v that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o grace_n we_o must_v neither_o go_v to_o peter_n nor_o yet_o to_o john_n 3.34_o john_n 1.15_o &_o 3.34_o but_o to_o jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n full_a and_o whole_a to_o show_v that_o we_o must_v come_v to_o he_o alone_o moreover_o herein_o have_v be_v occasion_n take_v to_o say_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v imperfect_a but_o this_o be_v plain_a deceit_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o john_n when_o he_o speak_v so_o be_v not_o to_o declare_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o he_o administer_v but_o only_o to_o show_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v between_o he_o &_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o although_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n which_o john_n administer_v and_o the_o sacrament_n which_o jesus_n christ_n administer_v be_v all_o one_o &_o tend_v to_o one_o &_o the_o selfsame_o end_n yet_o john_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n to_o make_v baptism_n of_o any_o force_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v do_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o administer_v true_a baptism_n for_o we_o look_v not_o to_o the_o sign_n but_o to_o the_o truth_n and_o yet_o the_o sign_n agréee_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o the_o principal_a matter_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o baptism_n consist_v upon_o two_o point_n that_o be_v that_o we_o have_v put_v of_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o be_v renew_a &_o unite_v to_o jesus_n christ_n &_o cleanse_v of_o all_o our_o spot_n when_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n &_o effect_n of_o baptism_n 8._o mat._n 3.2_o 8._o mar._n 1.4_o luke_n 3.3_o 8._o let_v we_o now_o consider_v if_o john_n do_v not_o all_o this_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o do_v for_o he_o come_v &_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n &_o baptize_v to_o that_o end_n &_o purpose_n moreover_o when_o he_o baptize_v he_o preach_v repentance_n which_o import_v as_o much_o as_o we_o have_v say_v that_o we_o ourselves_o must_v be_v mortify_v &_o this_o corruption_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o adam_n must_v be_v put_v of_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n may_v reign_v in_o us._n and_o so_o when_o as_o we_o have_v thrust_v out_o all_o the_o corruption_n we_o can_v yet_o shall_v we_o find_v nothing_o else_o in_o we_o but_o what_o we_o must_v make_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o person_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o deed_n this_o be_v true_a that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o 9.18_o acts._n 9.18_o it_o be_v a_o wash_n away_o of_o our_o sin_n how_o so_o because_o by_o it_o we_o be_v confirm_v &_o ingraff_v into_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v cleanse_v &_o live_v by_o his_o mighty_a power_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n as_o may_v be_v see_v when_o annanias_n baptize_v paul_n who_o say_v to_o he_o come_v and_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n and_o when_o baptism_n be_v speak_v of_o we_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o sign_n but_o of_o the_o thing_n signify_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n through_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o renew_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v no_o long_o live_v to_o ourselves_o and_o as_o we_o lust_n wherefore_o do_v we_o say_v that_o all_o this_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o baptism_n forsooth_o because_o the_o commission_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v most_o certain_a and_o sure_a and_o he_o perform_v that_o inwardlye_o which_o be_v outwardlye_o signify_v for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v but_o a_o may_v game_n if_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o join_v together_o with_o the_o sign_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n join_v the_o truth_n with_o the_o sign_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v understand_v and_o know_v that_o as_o the_o visible_a sign_n signify_v a_o thing_n even_o so_o also_o receive_v we_o the_o grace_n therein_o signify_v and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o supper_n for_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o supper_n look_v how_o the_o minister_n distribute_v to_o we_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n even_o so_o do_v jesus_n christ_n make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o body_n &_o blood_n that_o we_o may_v be_v true_o and_o indeed_o his_o member_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o supper_n be_v a_o partake_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o handle_v by_o piece_n meal_n the_o thing_n which_o mortal_a man_n do_v we_o must_v then_o look_v what_o power_n and_o authority_n he_o have_v as_o when_o i_o baptise_v to_o wit_n whether_o have_v i_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o my_o sléeve_n to_o give_v or_o not_o or_o when_o i_o celebrate_v the_o holy_a supper_n have_v i_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o give_v to_o who_o it_o like_v i_o now_o this_o be_v over_o great_a arrogancy_n to_o attribute_v that_o to_o mortal_a man_n which_o proper_o belong_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o take_v from_o jesus_n christ_n the_o

see_v what_o we_o have_v here_o already_o handle_v and_o shall_v be_v more_o thorough_o in_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n moreover_o it_o be_v for_o we_o thus_o to_o make_v answer_n to_o wit_n 11.16_o

we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o minister_n to_o the_o end_n every_o man_n may_v have_v his_o degree_n and_o

baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n this_o do_v not_o restrain_v 3.11_o mat._n 3.11_o but_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v once_o appear_v in_o the_o same_o shape_n for_o this_o promise_n have_v be_v already_o perform_v and_o shall_v take_v place_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v visible_o send_v unto_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v to_o signify_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v always_o govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o shall_v fill_v we_o with_o so_o many_o of_o his_o grace_n as_o be_v needful_a in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v they_o in_o full_a perfection_n because_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v humble_v for_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o in_o full_a perfection_n what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o sure_o we_o will_v never_o have_v any_o care_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n neither_o yet_o once_o think_v that_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v always_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o his_o benefit_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o beseech_v he_o liberal_o to_o bestow_v they_o on_o us._n but_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o be_v all_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v in_o no_o wise_a that_o his_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v receive_v in_o vain_a of_o his_o faithful_a one_o in_o deed_n although_o a_o man_n be_v baptize_v
in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n we_o see_v he_o incline_v to_o all_o mischief_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o new_a man_n but_o rather_o like_o a_o bruit_n beast_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v but_o that_o the_o sacrament_n have_v his_o full_a nature_n and_o propriety_n for_o baptism_n of_o itself_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o be_v renew_a and_o then_o if_o we_o be_v not_o so_o the_o fault_n be_v we_o because_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v jesus_n christ_n to_o accomplish_v his_o grace_n in_o we_o and_o so_o for_o want_v of_o belief_n we_o in_o such_o sort_n close_o up_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o entrance_n for_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o will_v large_o bestow_v upon_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v never_o without_o his_o power_n and_o virtue_n howbeit_o we_o receive_v no_o fruit_n nor_o benefit_n by_o it_o because_o it_o can_v enter_v without_o faith_n we_o have_v here_o therefore_o to_o note_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o in_o the_o water_n but_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o beside_o jesus_n christ_n geve_v we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v thorough_o to_o mark_v that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v benefit_v by_o baptism_n we_o must_v not_o stick_v so_o much_o to_o the_o water_n as_o though_o our_o salvation_n be_v enclose_v therein_o but_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o must_v work_v all_o moreover_o we_o see_v that_o the_o world_n have_v receive_v this_o doctrine_n very_o pernicious_o for_o the_o papist_n think_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v tie_v to_o it_o and_o they_o charm_v it_o like_o conjurer_n geve_v to_o the_o water_n the_o power_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o that_o child_n that_o be_v not_o baptize_v be_v damn_v wherefore_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o this_o danger_n they_o be_v not_o only_o content_v to_o

child_n may_v die_v without_o baptism_n and_o so_o they_o think_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o baptism_n consist_v in_o the_o water_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_a the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v lay_v clean_o aside_o but_o as_o for_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o in_o the_o water_n but_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o

when_o we_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n concern_v our_o salvation_n no_o man_n for_o we_o think_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v resign_v his_o office_n

the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n use_v these_o two_o word_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o thing_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o fire_n it_o be_v because_o he_o mean_v to_o boil_v we_o again_o to_o

therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v not_o this_o name_n in_o vain_a see_v it_o be_v he_o that_o must_v purge_v all_o our_o spot_n and_o blot_n and_o it_o be_v also_o to_o signify_v unto_o we_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o come_v into_o this_o world_n we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o uncleanness_n and_o the_o long_o we_o live_v the_o great_a heap_n of_o unclean_a thing_n we_o lie_v up_o together_o whereof_o jeremie_n speak_v say_v that_o man_n know_v not_o himself_o 17.9_o jerem._n 17.9_o for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o gulf_n of_o wickedness_n in_o we_o as_o there_o be_v none_o but_o god_n alone_o that_o know_v it_o a_o man_n may_v well_o cast_v a_o anchor_n into_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o none_o be_v able_a to_o search_v our_o heart_n but_o god_n for_o we_o

new_a creture_n by_o purge_v of_o our_o infirmity_n but_o as_o by_o purge_v with_o fire_n all_o superfluity_n be_v take_v away_o even_o so_o also_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o when_o god_n will_v reconcile_v we_o to_o himself_o all_o what_o soever_o be_v we_o must_v be_v clean_o take_v away_o moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o shall_v remain_v in_o ourselves_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o perish_v and_o yet_o if_o we_o will_v always_o remain_v safe_a and_o sound_o god_n must_v needs_o bray_v we_o that_o he_o may_v save_v we_o and_o make_v we_o become_v acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o this_o he_o do_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v by_o god_n alone_o that_o we_o must_v be_v gloryfy_v indeed_o we_o be_v content_v to_o have_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v extol_v among_o man_n but_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v sift_v before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o think_v to_o be_v

have_v purge_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n moreover_o when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v after_o a_o while_n it_o be_v to_o encourage_v they_o the_o more_o and_o not_o to_o murmur_v and_o be_v discourage_v when_o god_n defer_v his_o aid_n for_o we_o must_v appoint_v he_o no_o time_n and_o indeed_o the_o time_n which_o he_o take_v be_v always_o very_o short_a how_o so_o because_o he_o leave_v we_o not_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n without_o aid_n as_o for_o example_n let_v it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v any_o war_n afflict_a and_o then_o we_o call_v upon_o god_n howbeit_o he_o will_v not_o at_o the_o first_o choâ—_n forthwith_o deliver_v we_o but_o common_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o torment_n increase_v and_o yet_o god_n assi_v we_o because_o he_o comfort_v us._n and_o this_o shall_v we_o very_o well_o perceive_v when_o as_o we_o fall_v into_o the_o consideration_n thereof_o for_o what_o man_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o least_o grief_n that_o be_v if_o god_n assist_v he_o not_o by_o this_o we_o see_v a_o proof_n of_o his_o aid_n when_o as_o we_o quail_v not_o for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v if_o we_o have_v any_o tribulation_n and_o do_v bear_v it_o

content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o can_v do_v better_a than_o to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o which_o god_n will_v not_o teach_v we_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o he_o reprove_v this_o their_o curiosity_n beside_o when_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o you_o shall_v receive_v power_n after_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v come_v upon_o you_o hereby_o he_o show_v they_o that_o they_o be_v fool_n to_o aspire_v so_o high_a as_o to_o inquire_v and_o seek_v after_o the_o secret_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v

that_o it_o be_v not_o long_o before_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o afterward_o he_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v witness_n unto_o i_o both_o in_o jerusalem_n in_o all_o jewrie_n and_o in_o

have_v crucify_v and_o slay_v jesus_n christ_n and_o afterward_o say_v be_v deliver_v by_o the_o determine_a counsel_n and_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v although_o

hardly_o persuade_v they_o for_o we_o see_v even_o at_o this_o day_n how_o they_o mock_v &_o scorn_v at_o it_o say_v if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o will_v abide_v the_o shameful_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o thus_o do_v the_o wicked_a vomit_n out_o this_o blasphemy_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o object_n of_o the_o cross_n because_o

if_o we_o right_o consider_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v clean_o void_a of_o all_o these_o fond_a imagination_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v not_o without_o wit_n and_o

not_o enter_v into_o vain_a speculation_n we_o see_v now_o at_o this_o present_a that_o the_o ungodly_a crucify_a jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o do_v without_o the_o ordinance_n of_o

occasion_n to_o glorify_v god_n and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o so_o his_o own_o conscience_n reprove_v he_o now_o s._n peter_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n rise_v again_o whereby_o to_o show_v as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o we_o must_v always_o join_v his_o resurrection_n with_o his_o death_n for_o if_o we_o look_v into_o his_o death_n only_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o altogether_o full_a of_o all_o shame_n and_o reproach_n and_o disfigure_v like_o a_o leper_n but_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o his_o resurrection_n we_o see_v how_o mighty_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n exalt_v he_o give_v he_o all_o power_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n wherefore_o 28.18_o mat._n 28.18_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v say_v that_o jesus_n die_v let_v we_o by_o and_o by_o understande_v that_o he_o rise_v again_o he_o die_v according_a to_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o flesh_n but_o in_o that_o
in_o such_o sort_n neither_o but_o that_o he_o always_o have_v a_o great_a prerogative_n over_o his_o child_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n he_o shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n the_o glory_n which_o he_o communicate_v with_o we_o be_v not_o derogatory_n from_o he_o neither_o yet_o be_v it_o thereby_o make_v any_o whit_n less_o howbeit_o we_o must_v be_v transform_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o phillippian_o 3.21_o phil._n 3.21_o and_o where_o we_o be_v now_o so_o full_a of_o infirmity_n as_o be_v lamentable_a it_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o that_o our_o life_n must_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o the_o heavenly_a life_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n he_o namely_o have_v regard_n unto_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o we_o be_v note_v point_a at_o with_o the_o finger_n and_o our_o tongue_n pull_v out_o we_o see_v

that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v such_o slander_n and_o reproach_n that_o we_o may_v look_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o seek_v for_o our_o triumph_n and_o victory_n there_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o be_v glorify_v and_o make_v much_o of_o here_o in_o this_o life_n and_o to_o have_v god_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o be_v dishonour_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o wicked_a with_o open_a mouth_n make_v a_o scorn_n of_o god_n and_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o they_o which_o will_v not_o spit_v in_o his_o majesty_n face_n and_o will_v we_o then_o be_v honour_v by_o they_o sure_o if_o we_o shall_v desire_v it_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v too_o too_o faint_a heart_a wherefore_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_v that_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a be_v at_o this_o present_a contemn_v and_o naught_o set_v by_o and_o that_o some_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_n and_o other_o some_o oppress_v they_o so_o that_o their_o flesh_n be_v eat_v to_o the_o bone_n and_o tread_v clean_o under_o foot_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v we_o back_o unto_o the_o latter_a day_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v at_o that_o time_n appear_v wonderful_a even_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o which_o cause_n let_v not_o we_o fear_v but_o that_o the_o glory_n which_o he_o will_v give_v we_o shall_v so_o terrify_v our_o enemy_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v our_o footstool_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o scripture_n howbéet_fw-mi saint_n paul_n here_o namely_o set_v down_o who_o they_o be_v that_o must_v look_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 110._o psal_n 110._o and_o he_o declare_v the_o fruit_n of_o all_o those_o that_o have_v beléeve_v in_o these_o word_n saint_n for_o he_o show_v that_o they_o which_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o pollution_n &_o corruption_n of_o this_o world_n must_v not_o look_v to_o have_v any_o part_n or_o portion_n in_o this_o inheritance_n nor_o yet_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o in_o this_o say_n they_o which_o have_v believe_v he_o show_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o very_a right_a springhead_n and_o beginning_n of_o all_o holiness_n three_o he_o show_v that_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v pure_a and_o right_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n we_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o his_o come_n but_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o of_o health_n and_o joy_n for_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a number_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a throat_n say_v what_o i_o beseech_v you_o good_a sir_n think_v you_o that_o we_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o the_o rest_n thus_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o swine_n and_o examine_v their_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o altogether_o disloyal_a and_o faithless_a like_o fox_n full_a of_o treason_n perjury_n cruelty_n and_o bitterness_n unto_o their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o loser_n they_o will_v keep_v open_a shop_n to_o take_v of_o all_o hand_n insomuch_o that_o they_o will_v not_o only_o sell_v their_o faith_n and_o credit_n but_o their_o honour_n and_o honesty_n also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a contemptuous_a person_n and_o yet_o forsooth_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o brag_v that_o they_o be_v the_o frowarde_a man_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o god_n will_v help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a and_o a_o most_o fearful_a day_n to_o you_o and_o so_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_n we_o have_v to_o note_v out_o of_o this_o place_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n available_a to_o we_o and_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o consecrate_v ourselves_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n but_o to_o the_o attain_n hereof_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v late_o say_v for_o to_o say_v true_o faith_n 6._o act_n 15._o 6._o be_v the_o spring_n head_n of_o all_o holiness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n where_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o god_n cleanse_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n to_o show_v that_o whatsoever_o glorious_a show_n we_o make_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v corrupt_a and_o stink_a before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n cleanse_v we_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o for_o the_o three_o point_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a faith_n it_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o can_v but_o be_v reform_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o be_v consecrate_v to_o honour_v he_o and_o how_o be_v that_o forsooth_o because_o that_o we_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n he_o will_v dwell_v in_o we_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o all_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o namely_o saint_n paul_n use_v these_o word_n to_o the_o ephesian_n jesus_n christ_n say_v he_o dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n 3.17_o ephe._n 3.17_o i_o beseech_v you_o tell_v i_o do_v not_o these_o thing_n hang_v ill_a favored_o together_o that_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n give_v ourselves_o to_o all_o villainy_n and_o filthiness_n do_v we_o think_v that_o he_o will_v dwell_v in_o a_o swine_n sty_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v consecrate_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o moreover_o he_o can_v be_v with_o we_o but_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n righteousness_n and_o cleanness_n will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a medley_n when_o as_o we_o will_v brag_v to_o have_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o live_v wanton_o and_o wicked_o and_o be_v stain_v with_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v i_o hold_v the_o sun_n and_o it_o shine_v not_o and_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v turn_v upside_o down_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v more_o like_a that_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v without_o
