reason_n to_o warrant_v the_o wisdom_n and_o equity_n of_o paul_n determination_n to_o know_v nothing_o among_o the_o corinthian_n but_o christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o crucify_a now_o out_o of_o these_o shall_v be_v deduce_v first_o for_o confutation_n out_o of_o the_o first_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o saint_n be_v not_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v invocate_v as_o saviour_n 2._o that_o sinner_n can_v be_v their_o own_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o that_o our_o work_n on_o earth_n be_v not_o merit_n of_o heaven_n out_o of_o the_o second_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v most_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o need_v not_o to_o be_v patch_v up_o with_o tradition_n 2._o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v perspicuous_a and_o therefore_o need_v not_o to_o be_v lock_v up_o from_o the_o laity_n from_o the_o three_o two_o thing_n 1._o how_o a_o man_n may_v know_v the_o true_a religion_n by_o christ_n the_o cornerstone_n the_o lydius_n lapis_fw-la the_o touchstone_n of_o religion_n 2._o how_o a_o man_n may_v unmask_v antichrist_n and_o his_o counterfeit_a religion_n by_o christ_n and_o he_o 2._o for_o exhortation_n out_o of_o all_o joint_o 1._o for_o minister_n what_o be_v the_o true_a rule_n of_o preach_v the_o art_n and_o that_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v with_o reverence_n the_o very_a trick_n of_o preach_v viz._n to_o preach_v christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v 2._o for_o all_o what_o shall_v be_v all_o our_o chief_a study_n the_o aim_n and_o scope_n of_o all_o our_o study_n viz._n only_o to_o know_v believe_v and_o love_n christ_n crucify_a if_o any_o of_o you_o think_v any_o of_o these_o too_o far_o fetch_v rather_o hale_v then_o draw_v out_o of_o this_o text_n when_o i_o come_v to_o the_o particular_n i_o hope_v to_o give_v he_o a_o reasonable_a satisfaction_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v draw_v a_o map_n of_o the_o holy_a land_n or_o rather_o as_o god_n bring_v moses_n to_o the_o top_n of_o mount_n nebo_n where_o he_o show_v he_o a_o sight_n a_o synopsis_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n so_o have_v i_o you_o but_o as_o it_o be_v then_o so_o it_o be_v now_o and_o so_o it_o will_v ever_o be_v we_o must_v travail_v some_o day_n journey_n before_o we_o can_v enter_v into_o that_o good_a land_n we_o must_v win_v it_o and_o wear_v it_o we_o must_v fight_v with_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n before_o we_o can_v fill_v ourselves_o of_o the_o milk_n and_o honey_n of_o that_o land_n which_o flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n thus_o much_o i_o think_v i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v in_o general_a that_o he_o that_o be_v indifferent_a if_o he_o think_v advise_o on_o the_o matter_n will_v say_v that_o i_o have_v take_v a_o indifferent_a course_n i_o have_v take_v these_o to_o try_v myself_o but_o i_o have_v refuse_v more_o which_o i_o may_v have_v take_v because_o i_o will_v not_o tire_v my_o auditor_n i_o have_v select_v these_o to_o exercise_v my_o meditation_n out_o of_o many_o other_o which_o i_o neglect_v that_o i_o may_v not_o exceed_v the_o proportion_n of_o this_o exercise_n for_o who_o see_v not_o that_o antichristianisme_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o opposition_n in_o a_o mystery_n to_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n reveal_v in_o christ_n either_o by_o open_a oppugn_n or_o secret_a undermine_v or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o can_v see_v he_o may_v well_o hear_v the_o proverb_n who_o be_v so_o blind_a as_o he_o that_o will_v not_o see_v so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o favour_v myself_o i_o have_v a_o fair_a occasion_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o my_o enemy_n among_o all_o the_o troop_n of_o the_o romish_a antichrist_n and_o single_a out_o the_o weak_a but_o i_o rather_o follow_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o lot_n that_o be_v fall_v into_o my_o lap_n and_o set_v upon_o he_o that_o stand_v near_a though_o he_o strut_v wide_a and_o speak_v boisterous_a and_o look_v big_a with_o horror_n and_o disdainfulness_n i_o remember_v how_o david_n with_o a_o little_a stone_n which_o he_o find_v by_o the_o brook_n brand_v that_o proud_a goliath_n in_o the_o forehead_n and_o founder_v the_o uncircumcised_a philistim_n that_o defy_v the_o host_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o daniel_n make_v mention_n of_o a_o stone_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o mountain_n without_o hand_n which_o break_v the_o glorious_a image_n of_o nabuchadnezzar_n who_o head_n be_v of_o gold_n the_o arm_n and_o breast_n of_o silver_n the_o thigh_n and_o leg_n of_o brass_n the_o foot_n of_o iron_n a_o man_n will_v think_v all_o metal_n and_o yet_o that_o little_a stone_n batter_v it_o all_o to_o piece_n behold_v i_o stand_v by_o the_o brook_n of_o water_n by_o the_o book_n of_o god_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o river_n that_o make_v glad_a the_o city_n of_o god_n behold_v in_o these_o crystal_n stream_n the_o stone_n the_o lord_n christ_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o stone_n which_o the_o proud_a builder_n of_o babel_n refuse_v but_o be_v become_v the_o head_n of_o the_o corner_n which_o the_o masterbuilder_n have_v put_v in_o zion_n and_o elect_v and_o precious_a stone_n i_o think_v i_o want_v nothing_o but_o david_n hand_n or_o david_n sling_n to_o check_v the_o scornful_a whore_n with_o a_o blow_n and_o spoil_v the_o mystery_n that_o be_v write_v in_o her_o forehead_n and_o yet_o again_o i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o david_n hand_n since_o i_o have_v his_o stone_n for_o his_o stone_n be_v the_o same_o that_o daniel_n stone_n and_o daniel_n stone_n like_o the_o phoenician_n ship_n in_o homer_n be_v guide_v by_o a_o high_a intelligence_n and_o can_v do_v the_o feat_n without_o hand_n and_o as_o the_o stone_n without_o hand_n intimate_v according_a to_o our_o interpreter_n the_o virginity_n of_o mary_n out_o of_o who_o christ_n be_v hew_v without_o the_o help_n of_o man_n so_o christ_n in_o my_o text_n may_v be_v take_v out_o without_o hand_n without_o any_o great_a pain_n of_o man_n to_o break_v the_o clay_n foot_n the_o brittle_a pillar_n of_o that_o brasen-faced_n whore_n to_o break_v they_o like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o though_o i_o know_v the_o father_n and_o counsel_n like_o saul_n armour_n be_v not_o needful_a for_o david_n in_o his_o combat_n yet_o perhaps_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n for_o the_o happy_a champion_n when_o he_o have_v foil_v his_o enemy_n with_o a_o stone_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o lay_v he_o grovel_v in_o the_o dust_n to_o set_v his_o victorious_a foot_n upon_o his_o neck_n and_o strike_v off_o his_o head_n with_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o father_n as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o own_o sword_n in_o which_o he_o glory_v perhaps_o you_o wonder_v where_o be_v the_o point_n all_o this_o while_n be_v that_o lose_v be_v that_o forget_v it_o be_v true_a but_o i_o choose_v rather_o to_o lead_v you_o into_o my_o further_a discourse_n though_o with_o a_o unseasonable_a preface_n then_o trouble_v you_o with_o a_o unseemly_a repetition_n of_o the_o former_a though_o i_o may_v plead_v the_o prescription_n of_o time_n enough_o to_o secure_v i_o from_o exception_n or_o obloquy_n and_o yet_o i_o presume_v that_o with_o your_o favourable_a construction_n i_o have_v err_v indeed_o but_o so_o as_o not_o praeter_fw-la casam_fw-la no_o nor_o praeter_fw-la causam_fw-la neither_o i_o come_v now_o to_o it_o the_o first_o point_n of_o the_o explication_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o sufficient_a saviour_n out_o of_o it_o i_o deduce_v 1._o that_o saint_n be_v no_o saviour_n nor_o therefore_o to_o be_v invocate_v as_o saviour_n here_o be_v no_o such_o magnetical_a and_o invisible_a sympathy_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v wonder_v what_o necessity_n tie_v these_o two_o together_o neither_o be_v their_o any_o such_o force_a deduction_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v need_v to_o pump_n or_o cherne_a to_o make_v it_o come_v the_o dependence_n be_v easy_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o link_n of_o a_o chain_n draw_v one_o and_o the_o rest_n will_v follow_v as_o it_o be_v in_o water_n spill_v upon_o a_o even_a table_n it_o be_v very_o docible_a to_o go_v which_o way_n soever_o the_o finger_n will_v lead_v it_o so_o willing_o do_v this_o consequent_a offer_n itself_o to_o your_o consideration_n out_o of_o the_o precedent_a position_n well_o then_o this_o be_v our_o theme_n for_o this_o time_n that_o saint_n be_v not_o saviour_n nor_o therefore_o to_o be_v invocate_v as_o saviour_n wherein_o i_o purpose_n first_o to_o represent_v unto_o your_o view_n a_o light_a adumbration_n a_o rude_a draught_n of_o it_o instead_o of_o a_o exposition_n of_o the_o
