to_o those_o that_o say_v lord_n lord_n have_v we_o not_o cast_v out_o devil_n in_o thy_o name_n do_v miracle_n have_v thou_o not_o teach_v in_o our_o street_n he_o shall_v answer_v i_o know_v you_o

new_a to_o you_o we_o be_v wont_v not_o to_o retain_v word_n nor_o thing_n which_o we_o understand_v not_o i_o will_v declare_v it_o more_o plain_o attend_v what_o think_v you_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o no_o man_n be_v admit_v at_o a_o trial_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n in_o his_o own_o cause_n lud._n because_o all_o man_n love_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o will_v always_o either_o speak_v for_o themselves_o or_o at_o least_o not_o against_o themselves_o fed._n you_o say_v right_a but_o if_o they_o will_v not_o speak_v against_o themselves_o neither_o be_v they_o willing_a to_o

i_o will_v give_v you_o example_n if_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o good_n of_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v common_a whether_o will_v more_o ready_o believe_v this_o the_o rich_a or_o the_o

not_o at_o all_o believe_v it_o because_o thereby_o they_o shall_v become_v poor_a which_o they_o will_v not_o fed._n what_o if_o one_o deny_v soul_n to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o purgatory_n by_o say_v mass_n whether_o will_v more_o hard_o believe_v it_o the_o priest_n or_o the_o lay_n lud._n the_o priest_n because_o by_o that_o opinion_n their_o profit_n will_v be_v diminish_v fed._n what_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v usury_n be_v unlawful_a to_o christian_n can_v that_o be_v persuade_v to_o they_o that_o live_v and_o grow_v rich_a by_o usury_n lud._n scarce_o fed._n and_o what_o if_o a_o man_n teach_v this_o doctrine_n that_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o religion_n whether_o will_v be_v more_o apt_a to_o believe_v it_o they_o that_o have_v authority_n with_o the_o magistrate_n and_o be_v themselves_o divine_v and_o persecute_v or_o desire_v to_o persecute_v other_o or_o they_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o they_o lud._n they_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o they_o for_o i_o have_v know_v some_o divine_n who_o when_o they_o want_v that_o authority_n and_o be_v infest_a for_o religion_n have_v teach_v that_o for_o religion_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v

that_o be_v man_n do_v not_o easy_o believe_v what_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o they_o love_v lud._n i_o see_v it_o clear_o fed._n let_v we_o now_o consider_v if_o the_o same_o be_v the_o

fed._n do_v you_o doubt_v first_o that_o which_o the_o master_n be_v wont_a to_o teach_v in_o general_n touch_v god_n command_n that_o they_o be_v not_o deliver_v that_o we_o shall_v keep_v they_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v acknowledge_v our_o infirmity_n what_o be_v it_o else_o then_o to_o derogate_v faith_n from_o his_o command_n and_o not_o to_o believe_v they_o for_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o st._n paul_n i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v i_o certain_o whosoever_o do_v not_o only_o not_o obey_v the_o precept_n but_o believe_v it_o impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v obey_v he_o do_v not_o true_o believe_v the_o precept_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o how_o few_o soever_o they_o be_v that_o obey_v the_o precept_n and_o they_o be_v very_o few_o so_o few_o they_o be_v that_o believe_v the_o precept_n lud._n but_o that_o which_o you_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o

discourse_v of_o before_o allege_v that_o place_n out_o of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n the_o saint_n by_o faith_n have_v subdue_v kingdom_n wrought_v righteousness_n for_o to_o work_v

salvation_n much_o more_o will_v he_o have_v obedience_n to_o his_o command_n possible_a by_o the_o same_o faith_n since_o without_o obedience_n man_n can_v be_v save_v and_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o more_o difficult_a to_o obey_v than_o to_o do_v miracle_n and_o to_o obey_v be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o believer_n to_o do_v miracle_n not_o of_o all_o as_o afore_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v lud._n these_o thing_n be_v true_a federic_n but_o there_o remain_v one_o thing_n which_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o explain_v for_o i_o you_o have_v say_v before_o that_o almost_o all_o believe_v the_o history_n not_o the_o precept_n but_o if_o man_n do_v believe_v the_o whole_a history_n of_o christ_n and_o especial_o the_o resurrection_n the_o rest_n also_o as_o i_o think_v will_v be_v believe_v no_o doubt_n if_o man_n do_v believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v they_o will_v believe_v withal_o that_o he_o be_v true_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o believe_v all_o his_o say_n likewise_o for_o this_o cause_n st._n john_n say_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v life_n through_o his_o name_n fed._n when_o i_o deny_v that_o they_o believe_v his_o precept_n i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o so_o take_v as_o if_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o he_o have_v give_v precept_n and_o give_v they_o well_o as_o be_v worthy_a of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o whereas_o they_o believe_v the_o thing_n he_o have_v command_v either_o not_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v or_o not_o

that_o be_v not_o believe_v they_o well_o which_o that_o you_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o understand_v i_o will_v bring_v a_o example_n when_o god_n have_v bring_v the_o israelite_n out_o of_o egypt_n command_v they_o to_o invade_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n do_v they_o believe_v god_n command_v it_o lud._n yes_o sure_o otherwise_o they_o will_v never_o have_v send_v their_o spy_n into_o canaan_n

these_o israelite_n do_v the_o command_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n have_v show_v we_o as_o many_o miracle_n as_o moses_n they_o as_o serious_o command_v we_o to_o subdue_v our_o sin_n as_o they_o be_v command_v to_o subdue_v the_o canaanite_n nor_o be_v we_o less_o contumelious_a and_o diffident_a in_o respect_n of_o christ_n if_o when_o he_o command_v we_o and_o promise_v strength_n we_o deny_v it_o possible_a to_o subdue_v our_o sin_n than_o they_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o god_n while_o they_o deny_v it_o possible_a to_o subdue_v the_o canaanite_n nor_o do_v we_o less_o offend_v against_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n while_o we_o say_v what_o christ_n command_v he_o do_v not_o command_v with_o a_o meaning_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v or_o be_v possible_a then_o they_o while_o they_o
