by_o which_o as_o by_o a_o thread_n we_o may_v easy_o be_v guide_v to_o that_o particular_a which_o here_o our_o saviour_n crave_v when_o he_o say_v father_n glorify_v thy_o son_n for_o undoubted_o he_o pray_v that_o his_o father_n will_v bestow_v upon_o he_o what_o glory_n he_o want_v if_o he_o want_v any_o and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o that_o glory_n which_o already_o he_o have_v if_o he_o have_v any_o or_o shall_v have_v therefore_o wherefore_o to_o make_v all_o plain_a we_o will_v inquire_v three_o thing_n first_o what_o glory_n he_o be_v present_o possess_v of_o second_o what_o glory_n yet_o he_o want_v and_o three_o how_o he_o will_v be_v glorify_v of_o these_o in_o order_n and_o first_o of_o the_o first_o that_o christ_n now_o present_o be_v possess_v of_o glory_n though_o haply_o not_o as_o yet_o in_o the_o full_a measure_n can_v be_v deny_v for_o although_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o have_v neither_o form_n 53.2_o nor_o comeliness_n nor_o beauty_n yet_o indeed_o he_o be_v the_o fair_a of_o all_o man_n 45.2_o &_o full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n outward_o and_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o natural_a man_n beauty_n he_o have_v none_o 1.14_o he_o seem_v a_o worm_n rather_o than_o a_o man_n but_o inward_o and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v spiritual_a he_o both_o be_v and_o appear_v glorious_a and_o they_o behold_v his_o glory_n not_o as_o of_o man_n but_o as_o of_o the_o only_o beget_v of_o the_o father_n omit_v therefore_o this_o as_o grant_v of_o all_o hand_n let_v we_o rather_o inquire_v touch_v his_o glory_n what_o it_o be_v it_o be_v double_a the_o glory_n of_o his_o person_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o office_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o person_n again_o be_v double_a for_o be_v the_o word_n make_v flesh_n &_o so_o consist_v of_o two_o

express_o thus_o say_v he_o we_o judge_v that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o 15._o they_o be_v all_o dead_a &_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o

the_o soul_n the_o body_n live_v unto_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v serviceable_a and_o obedient_a thereunto_o especial_o when_o it_o follow_v not_o the_o sway_n of_o inordinate_a passion_n but_o the_o direction_n of_o right_a reason_n in_o like_a manner_n we_o live_v unto_o christ_n when_o we_o serve_v and_o obey_v he_o not_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n for_o not_o they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n 8.1.9_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o they_o only_a who_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ._n s._n peter_n express_v it_o by_o live_a not_o to_o the_o lust_n of_o man_n 2.3.6_o but_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o by_o and_o by_o set_v down_o the_o just_n of_o man_n to_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o gentile_n namely_o lasciviousness_n

hence_o we_o may_v learn_v humility_n to_o ascribe_v nothing_o to_o our_o own_o self_n for_o what_o be_v we_o in_o nature_n but_o stink_a carcase_n if_o we_o live_v it_o be_v by_o the_o mere_a grace_n

be_v a_o double_a donation_n by_o which_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o christ_n the_o one_o common_a the_o other_o singular_a the_o common_a be_v that_o whereby_o the_o father_n have_v

the_o state_n of_o damnation_n out_o of_o his_o mere_a mercy_n and_o love_v decree_v not_o to_o loose_v the_o whole_a race_n of_o man_n but_o to_o renew_v and_o repair_v again_o his_o image_n in_o some_o of_o they_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n provide_v yet_o always_o that_o his_o justice_n for_o sin_n be_v full_o satisfy_v second_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o justice_n he_o further_o decree_v to_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o he_o may_v therein_o suffer_v whatsoever_o be_v due_a to_o sin_n and_o so_o mediate_v a_o peace_n between_o god_n and_o us._n then_o three_o out_o of_o the_o corrupt_a mass_n of_o mankind_n he_o select_v and_o choose_v some_o particular_n even_o such_o as_o he_o please_v with_o a_o purpose_n infallible_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o act_n it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v tui_fw-la erant_fw-la they_o be_v from_o

that_o receive_v it_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n not_o many_o body_n but_o one_o body_n whence_o i_o argue_v as_o we_o by_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v christ_n body_n so_o be_v the_o
