fall_v into_o a_o gross_a error_n which_o they_o may_v conceive_v by_o this_o doctrine_n of_o he_o for_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n why_o then_o say_v the_o heretic_n

animal_n and_o spiritual_a be_v clean_a contrary_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n still_o bid_v we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o distinguish_v between_o the_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o son_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o contrary_a than_o these_o now_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a

another_o thing_n make_v by_o god_n of_o a_o strange_a composure_n against_o this_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o distinction_n of_o a_o natural_a body_n and_o a_o spiritual_a body_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o these_o monster_n follow_v neither_o for_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o great_a god_n to_o add_v such_o excellency_n to_o that_o body_n which_o be_v before_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o mortal_a and_o to_o draw_v such_o line_n upon_o it_o to_o give_v it_o such_o beauty_n and_o perfection_n that_o it_o shall_v seem_v rather_o a_o spirit_n than_o a_o

hence_o we_o learn_v that_o see_v the_o apostle_n prove_v his_o distinction_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o make_v of_o his_o own_o head_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n any_o general_a principle_n or_o definition_n or_o division_n or_o distribution_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o must_v show_v reason_n for_o it_o then_o second_o what_o reason_n do_v the_o apostle_n give_v for_o it_o why_o it_o be_v also_o write_v he_o prove_v this_o his_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n and_o unless_o he_o can_v have_v prove_v it_o out_o of_o they_o he_o must_v have_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o censure_n of_o all_o these_o heretic_n that_o all_o that_o they_o have_v pass_v upon_o he_o shall_v have_v go_v for_o good_a except_o he_o can_v have_v refute_v they_o by_o the_o scripture_n so_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v write_v so_o that_o here_o we_o have_v a_o main_a conclusion_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o hold_v to_o always_o and_o to_o stick_v to_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v no_o man_n further_o than_o the_o scripture_n if_o he_o will_v speak_v his_o own_o mind_n he_o may_v do_v it_o for_o illustration_n or_o for_o argument_n sake_n but_o to_o put_v the_o device_n of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o brain_n to_o go_v for_o point_n of_o religion_n for_o matter_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o damnable_a thing_n he_o must_v have_v no_o more_o credit_n than_o the_o scripture_n will_v afford_v he_o he_o must_v make_v no_o distinction_n and_o difference_n except_o it_o be_v find_v in_o the_o write_a word_n if_o this_o have_v be_v well_o observe_v the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v never_o come_v to_o that_o miserable_a distraction_n that_o it_o have_v be_v in_o for_o the_o space_n of_o these_o thousand_o year_n every_o intruder_n

to_o talk_v of_o purgatory_n invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o of_o other_o error_n new_o spring_v up_o in_o these_o late_a time_n such_o thing_n as_o these_o have_v no_o kind_n of_o be_v in_o the_o

people_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o very_a oracle_n of_o almighty_a god_n himself_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o these_o thing_n teach_v i_o as_o far_o as_o thou_o will_v out_o of_o god_n book_n but_o if_o thou_o teach_v i_o otherwise_o thou_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o no_o teacher_n thou_o be_v a_o seducer_n and_o a_o imposter_n and_o no_o pastor_n as_o st._n bernard_n bernard_n bernard_n and_o also_o gregory_n gregory_n gregory_n say_v therefore_o this_o bless_a apostle_n he_o put_v down_o his_o proof_n he_o will_v have_v they_o believe_v he_o no_o

be_v find_v any_o where_o but_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n the_o other_o part_n be_v make_v up_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o apostle_n understand_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o adam_n to_o make_v up_o the_o antithesis_fw-la of_o that_o notable_a difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o some_o of_o the_o father_n do_v take_v it_o thus_o that_o the_o whole_a sentence_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v write_v that_o ofttimes_o in_o the_o scripture_n thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v write_v and_o to_o be_v do_v which_o be_v not_o write_v nor_o do_v mean_v not_o in_o their_o kind_n but_o in_o their_o effect_n by_o some_o consequence_n as_o st._n chrysostom_n say_v of_o this_o chrysost_n chrysost_n from_o the_o reason_n and_o event_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v write_v because_o that_o man_n do_v see_v every_o christian_n know_v that_o christ_n jesus_n do_v so_o far_o pass_v and_o surmount_v the_o first_o adam_n as_o god_n surpass_v man_n as_o the_o soul_n surpass_v the_o body_n therefore_o the_o event_n and_o consequent_a of_o the_o thing_n make_v it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v write_v for_o god_n have_v make_v it_o good_a and_o so_o have_v set_v it_o as_o a_o sure_a writing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o he_o give_v instance_n from_o divers_a scripture_n in_o the_o like_a thing_n as_o in_o heb._n 12.21_o 12.21_o heb._n 12.21_o the_o apostle_n say_v speak_v of_o the_o terror_n of_o moses_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o mount_n when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v the_o terror_n be_v so_o great_a that_o moses_n say_v i_o fear_v exceed_o now_o in_o the_o book_n of_o exodus_fw-la 19_o exod._n 19_o chap._n 19_o where_o those_o thing_n be_v relate_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n mention_v that_o moses_n say_v any_o such_o word_n but_o the_o gloss_n expound_v it_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a upon_o the_o deed_n upon_o the_o terror_n that_o moses_n conceive_v he_o tremble_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n do_v although_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v he_o do_v tremble_v so_o here_o also_o it_o may_v be_v say_v although_o there_o be_v no_o such_o word_n as_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o sentence_n that_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a spirit_n yet_o the_o facto_fw-la it_o be_v true_a for_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n know_v and_o subscribe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o main_a difference_n between_o they_o such_o other_o place_n there_o be_v as_o that_o in_o isay_n 7.14_o 7.14_o isay_n 7.14_o a_o virgin_n shall_v conceive_v and_o bring_v forth_o a_o son_n and_o they_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n emanuel_n now_o this_o be_v never_o do_v de_fw-fr facto_fw-la as_o st._n chrysostom_n observe_v chrysost_n chrysost_n the_o people_n never_o call_v he_o so_o they_o call_v he_o jesus_n not_o emmanuel_n and_o although_o the_o angel_n give_v that_o name_n to_o the_o virgin_n yet_o the_o people_n use_v it_o not_o and_o yet_o say_v st._n

forth_o such_o a_o voice_n and_o testimony_n that_o he_o be_v emmanuel_n god_n with_o we_o therefore_o these_o father_n think_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v this_o that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o
yet_o we_o suffer_v still_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n every_o hour_n and_o therein_o we_o show_v our_o perseverance_n but_o i_o will_v conclude_v in_o a_o word_n with_o the_o use_n and_o force_v of_o this_o argument_n for_o it_o have_v be_v still_o the_o reason_n that_o heretic_n have_v take_v to_o themselves_o use_v to_o abuse_v the_o force_n of_o the_o apostle_n disputation_n the_o devil_n have_v fit_v the_o world_n with_o such_o seduce_a man_n to_o suffer_v and_o to_o suffer_v for_o a_o lie_n now_o than_o the_o argument_n can_v have_v no_o just_a nor_o no_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o because_o man_n suffer_v every_o hour_n therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n for_o then_o heretic_n may_v object_v and_o say_v because_o they_o suffer_v for_o this_o erroneous_a conceit_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o conceit_n but_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n certain_o as_o tertullian_n say_v not_o only_o the_o true_a orthodox_n faith_n of_o christian_n be_v increase_v by_o the_o martyr_n blood_n but_o also_o heretic_n be_v increase_v by_o their_o martyr_n there_o be_v never_o any_o heresy_n so_o bad_a but_o it_o have_v some_o to_o testify_v it_o with_o

the_o person_n that_o give_v the_o testimony_n for_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o make_v the_o martyr_n and_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o cause_n be_v to_o be_v fetch_v from_o the_o word_n of_o
