what_o be_v the_o difference_n to_o come_v between_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n everlasting_a in_o these_o word_n christ_n show_v three_o cause_n of_o the_o erroneous_a doctrine_n of_o the_o saducee_n the_z first_z be_v that_o they_o know_v not_o the_o scripture_n which_o alone_o teach_v we_o to_o try_v the_o truth_n from_o falsehood_n in_o all_o those_o matter_n which_o concern_v the_o business_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o david_n faith_n 119._o thy_o word_n be_v a_o lantern_n unto_o my_o foot_n the_o second_o cause_n that_o they_o know_v not_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o god_n by_o the_o which_o he_o be_v able_a as_o easy_o to_o raise_v up_o y_o e_o dead_a in_o the_o last_o day_n as_o it_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o he_o to_o create_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o in_o the_o first_o day_n therefore_o when_o we_o think_v upon_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a reason_n be_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o counsel_n which_o be_v only_o occupy_v about_o these_o corporal_a thing_n but_o we_o must_v look_v back_o to_o the_o scripture_n and_o know_v that_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a before_o god_n the_o omnipotent_a creator_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o three_o cause_n of_o the_o error_n of_o the_o saducee_n christ_n assign_v to_o be_v this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o life_n eternal_a in_o this_o life_n there_o be_v need_n of_o wedlock_n but_o in_o the_o life_n eternal_a they_o shall_v neither_o marry_v nor_o be_v marry_v for_o they_o be_v as_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o other_o life_n do_v by_o a_o thousand_o degree_n excel_v the_o love_n of_o this_o world_n yea_o that_o will_v darken_v this_o even_o as_o the_o sun_n rise_v in_o the_o morning_n take_v away_o the_o light_n from_o all_o the_o other_o star_n and_o alone_o with_o his_o own_o brightness_n lighten_v the_o world_n the_o three_o embassage_n be_v of_o the_o jew_n be_v make_v unto_o christ_n the_o very_a same_o day_n this_o be_v the_o same_o whereof_o the_o present_a text_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v mention_v when_o the_o pharise_n have_v hear_v that_o jesus_n have_v in_o this_o wise_a stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o saducee_n 22._o they_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o which_o be_v the_o great_a comaundement_n in_o the_o law_n that_o be_v do_v of_o they_o not_o because_o they_o will_v learn_v but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v some_o occasion_n to_o destroy_v he_o for_o they_o think_v thus_o with_o themselves_o because_o this_o fellow_n bring_v in_o baptism_n and_o accuse_v we_o which_o living_n according_a to_o the_o law_n do_v boast_v ourselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n sure_o and_o without_o all_o doubt_n he_o contemn_v the_o law_n and_o do_v far_o less_o esteem_v it_o they_o his_o baptism_n which_o if_o he_o do_v there_o will_v lie_v a_o just_a action_n for_o we_o against_o he_o as_o against_o one_o blasphemouse_n against_o god_n himself_o as_o one_o which_o have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o no_o estimation_n which_o the_o lord_n himself_o give_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o servant_n moses_n to_o these_o thing_n christ_n answer_v say_v the_o great_a and_o the_o first_o commandment_n be_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n and_o the_o second_o be_v like_a unto_o this_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o in_o these_o two_o commandment_n hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n doubtless_o the_o pharise_n look_v not_o for_o such_o a_o answer_n to_o be_v give_v they_o therefore_o none_o of_o they_o can_v say_v any_o thing_n against_o he_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o neither_o wisdom_n nor_o prudence_n can_v prevail_v against_o the_o lord_n which_o bring_v to_o naught_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o confound_v the_o understanding_n of_o the_o prudent_a as_o it_o be_v in_o esay_n chap._n 29._o the_o second_o doctrine_n touch_v the_o law_n i_o will_v explicate_v these_o three_o thing_n first_z i_o will_v speak_v in_o general_a of_o the_o two_o chief_a commandment_n and_o head_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n and_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o second_o of_o the_o four_o principal_a error_n about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n three_o of_o the_o true_a use_n of_o the_o law_n ¶_o of_o the_o first_o the_o law_n in_o this_o place_n set_v before_o we_o the_o two_o chief_a commandment_n the_o first_o of_o the_o love_a of_o god_n the_o other_o of_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o in_o what_o manner_n god_n be_v to_o be_v love_v it_o expound_v say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n in_o what_o manner_n also_o thy_o neighbour_n be_v to_o be_v love_v it_o by_o and_o by_o add_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o but_o what_o be_v it_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o thy_o hart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n this_o word_n of_o love_n comprehend_v three_o thing_n cupido_fw-la first_o it_o comprehend_v a_o knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v love_v for_o of_o a_o thing_n unknowen_a there_o be_v no_o desire_n moreover_o it_o comprehend_v all_o the_o affection_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o hart_n which_o do_v accompany_v pure_a love_n three_o it_o comprehend_v all_o work_n which_o be_v require_v to_o this_o love_n therefore_o the_o law_n of_o god_n join_v these_o three_o together_o when_o it_o say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n a_o clear_a light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god._n who_o he_o assure_o persuade_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o most_o best_a and_o most_o excellent_a namely_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n moreover_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n that_o be_v all_o the_o affection_n motion_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o heart_n shall_v tend_v to_o this_o end_n that_o thou_o may_v love_v god_n cleave_v unto_o he_o &_o place_n in_o he_o the_o soundness_n of_o thy_o love_n whereby_o thou_o may_v keep_v he_o most_o sure_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o for_o ever_o enjoy_v he_o last_o thou_o shall_v love_v he_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n or_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n so_o that_o thou_o shall_v convert_v all_o thy_o cogitation_n endeavour_n and_o study_n to_o set_v forward_o and_o defend_v whatsoever_o thing_n do_v appertain_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o fight_v against_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a unto_o god_n namely_o by_o resist_v the_o devil_n sin_n and_o all_o their_o troop_n and_o garrison_n and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o in_o what_o manner_n the_o three_o chief_a natural_a power_n or_o ability_n ingraft_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n namely_o reason_n appetite_n and_o zeal_n anger_n do_v show_v forth_o their_o strength_n for_o reason_n inquire_v for_o the_o chief_a good_a that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n appetite_n desire_v that_o same_o principal_a good_a and_o by_o love_n join_v itself_o unto_o it_o anger_n or_o zeal_n be_v kindle_v to_o uphold_v and_o defend_v that_o

moreover_o when_o thou_o hear_v that_o thou_o be_v command_v to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n here_o thou_o must_v consider_v that_o god_n do_v require_v a_o love_n pure_a and_o perfect_n eternal_a and_o spiritvall_n so_o that_o thy_o love_n shall_v be_v pure_a without_o spot_n perfect_v with_o out_o all_o fault_n eternal_a without_o all_o intermission_n and_o spiritual_a without_o all_o affection_n and_o leven_v of_o fleshly_a concupiscence_n the_z other_z great_a commandment_n be_v this_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o here_o god_n appoint_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n to_o be_v the_o love_n of_o our_o own_o self_n but_o that_o this_o may_v be_v the_o rightly_o understand_v two_o thing_n do_v come_v to_o be_v consider_v first_z we_o must_v discern_v between_o two_o manner_n after_o which_o man_n love_v himself_o for_o of_o these_o two_o the_o one_o be_v damnable_a and_o unlawful_a the_o

that_o these_o thing_n may_v somewhat_o more_o easy_o be_v understand_v i_o will_v join_v hereunto_o a_o similitude_n which_o the_o catholic_n divine_v in_o the_o old_a church_n have_v use_v man_z consist_v of_o two_o substaunce_n of_o a_o soul_n and_o of_o a_o body_n and_o do_v many_o thing_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o to_o understand_v to_o reason_n to_o number_v etc._n etc._n and_o again_o do_v many_o thing_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o body_n as_o to_o build_v to_o write_v to_o walk_v and_o such_o other_o like_o deed_n either_o well_o or_o evil_a all_o these_o thing_n which_o in_o this_o manner_n he_o do_v either_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o itself_o or_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o body_n by_o itself_o or_o by_o the_o work_n of_o both_o together_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o man_n even_o in_o like_a manner_n christ_n do_v certain_a work_v according_a to_o his_o humane_a nature_n and_o certain_a according_a to_o his_o divine_a nature_n all_o which_o notwithstanding_o be_v attribute_v to_o whole_a christ_n which_o be_v god_n and_o man._n so_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o sustain_v according_a to_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v ascrybed_n to_o the_o whole_a person_n which_o be_v god_n and_o man._n therefore_o luke_n right_o affirm_v 20.28_o that_o god_n have_v purchase_v a_o congregation_n to_o himself_o with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o again_o he_o say_v right_o that_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o mary_n have_v create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o jesus_n and_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n be_v one_o person_n in_o the_o same_o sentence_n also_o speak_v cyrell_n because_o say_v he_o that_o body_n which_o he_o make_v his_o own_o do_v suffer_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v the_o word_n itself_o suffer_v for_o us._n and_o hereof_o it_o be_v that_o all_o the_o work_n and_o benefit_n of_o redemption_n in_o christ_n be_v count_v divine_a infinite_a save_v and_o so_o inestimable_a that_o unto_o they_o nothing_o neither_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n may_v be_v compare_v as_o we_o have_v somewhat_o touch_v before_o from_o this_o fountain_n a_o infinite_a and_o unspeakable_a
