such_o slackness_n even_o of_o our_o shet_n of_o our_o eye_n although_o god_n show_v we_o by_o all_o mean_n
saint_n paul_n show_v that_o there_o be_v very_o good_a agreement_n between_o the_o law_n the_o prophet_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o deed_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o be_v unconstant_a nor_o for_o that_o he_o intend_v too_o teach_v man_n after_o a_o new_a and_o strange_a fashion_n wherewith_o the_o law_n be_v nothing_o acquaint_v for_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n bare_a witness_n continual_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o thereby_o also_o be_v we_o put_v in_o mind_n too_o further_o ourselves_o by_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o moses_n and_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prophet_n for_o now_o adays_o there_o be_v some_o fantastical_a folk_n which_o think_v that_o for_o all_o doctrine_n we_o ought_v too_o have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v superfluous_a it_o be_v true_a indeed_o 3._o that_o all_o perfection_n of_o wisdom_n be_v

the_o apostle_n themselves_o confirm_v their_o doctrine_n by_o their_o testimony_n and_o here_o when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v build_v upon_o their_o foundation_n he_o show_v sufficient_o that_o whatsoever_o thing_n our_o lord_n betake_v unto_o they_o in_o old_a time_n be_v profitable_a for_o we_o at_o this_o day_n and_o we_o must_v practice_v it_o and_o put_v it_o in_o

s._n 4._o paul_n in_o another_o place_n and_o the_o same_o be_v also_o a_o verify_n of_o s._n peter_n say_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n point_v at_o we_o and_o we_o have_v more_o full_a fruition_n and_o great_a fruit_n of_o it_o than_o they_o that_o hear_v it_o speak_v for_o we_o have_v so_o great_a a_o light_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v then_o dark_a be_v now_o manifest_o open_a and_o know_v unto_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o study_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n know_v well_o that_o they_o lead_v we_o to_o our_o

the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o also_o the_o pattern_n that_o moses_n see_v on_o the_o mountain_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n bear_v witness_n of_o he_o 45._o and_o even_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o upbraid_v the_o jew_n tell_v they_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o boast_v of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o blame_v worthy_a and_o

too_o who_o the_o law_n will_v hold_v we_o back_o so_o then_o hereupon_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v that_o too_o profit_v well_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o must_v always_o resort_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o he_o without_o turn_v away_o thence_o at_o any_o time_n you_o shall_v see_v a_o number_n of_o folk_n that_o martyr_v themselves_o exceed_o in_o

12._o as_o i_o have_v allege_v before_o according_a whereunto_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o scripture_n name_v he_o again_o our_o lord_n

that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v so_o i●●yghtened_v that_o god_n light_n be_v in_o we_o namely_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o

if_o any_o man_n think_v this_o to_o be_v strange_a gear_n it_o be_v because_o they_o will_v be_v haylefellow_n with_o god_n and_o herein_o appear_v their_o devilish_a malapertness_n that_o they_o

therefore_o like_a as_o erst_o he_o condemn_v the_o beastliness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o so_o now_o also_o he_o show_v that_o we●_z be_v as_o block_n and_o can_v be_v quiet_a too_o follow_v our_o god_n

the_o gospel_n &_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o god_n but_o we_o unhalowe_v it_o if_o we_o know_v not_o too_o what_o end_n god_n have_v give_v it_o we_o and_o that_o we_o must_v bear_v it_o in_o

so_o let_v we_o be_v like_o scholar_n unto_o he_o but_o let_v we_o come_v now_o too_o the_o truth_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v which_o be_v say_v he_o that_o you_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_v with_o earthly_a lust_n even_o according_a too_o the_o conversation_n that_o you_o have_v lead_v heretofore_o he_o express_v yet_o better_a that_o all_o they_o which_o vaunt_v

falsary_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o counterfeit_a deed_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v a_o curse_a treachery_n when_o we_o say_v we_o intend_v too_o be_v christian_n 16._o and_o profess_v it_o also_o with_o our_o mouth_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o go_v from_o the_o thing_n in_o our_o work_n which_o we_o protest_v in_o our_o word_n as_o say_v saint_n

deny_v jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o whole_a life_n how_o much_o soever_o he_o confess_v he_o in_o word_n therefore_o let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o and_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n we_o must_v learn_v too_o rid_v away_o our_o old_a man_n and_o by_o that_o word_n the_o scripture_n mean_v all_o that_o we_o have_v of_o nature_n for_o we_o know_v there_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v two_o wellspring_n of_o mankind_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n adam_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o first_o birth_n we_o come_v all_o out_o of_o the_o wellspring_n of_o adam_n and_o be_v corrupt_v with_o sinfulness_n so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o frowardness_n and_o cursedness_n in_o our_o soul_n it_o stand_v we_o then_o on_o

our_o father_n now_o then_o if_o a_o man_n be_v let_v alone_o in_o his_o first_o state_n sure_o he_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o blind_a wretch_n full_a of_o rebelliousness_n and_o spite_v against_o god_n too_o be_v short_a he_o shall_v tend_v all_o whole_o unto_o evil_n for_o we_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o old_a man_n lest_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o saint_n paul_n intent_n be_v too_o rebuke_v but_o only_o the_o vice_n that_o be_v apparent_a before_o man_n like_v as_o when_o man_n will_v rebuke_v one_o that_o have_v play_v the_o unthrift_n for_o a_o time_n they_o will_v say_v he_o must_v cast_v his_o old_a skin_n but_o here_o saint_n paul_n pass_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o our_o like_n be_v utter_o untoward_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o uprightness_n in_o we_o that_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n be_v rebellious_a against_o god_n and_o against_o his_o will_n and_o justice_n furthermore_o whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o unclothing_n or_o put_v of_o it_o be_v a_o similitude_n rife_o enough_o whereby_o be_v mean_v that_o we_o must_v give_v over_o all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o own_o and_o cast_v it_o quite_o away_o that_o we_o may_v be_v clothe_v again_o with_o other_o ornament_n as_o he_o will_v add_v anon_o after_o and_o here_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n in_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o in_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n for_o needs_o must_v all_o that_o be_v our_o own_o be_v lay_v down_o before_o god_n take_v in_o hand_n the_o guide_n of_o we_o and_o why_o for_o our_o thought_n and_o

must_v be_v cut_v of_o before_o god_n do_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o which_o also_o be_v the_o very_a order_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v follow_v in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v say_v he_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man._n and_o second_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v send_v we_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v repair_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n by_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n &_o that_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o damnation_n and_o endless_a death_n and_o that_o his_o offering_n of_o himself_o have_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n for_o we_o insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o resort_v to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n god_n of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a because_o he_o pass_v not_o what_o we_o be_v but_o bury_v all_o our_o fault_n and_o cease_v not_o to_o favour_v we_o as_o his_o child_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v wretched_a

his_o holy_a spirit_n according_a too_o this_o say_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o grace_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o of_o we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o he_o and_o

and_o state_n do_v tend_v and_o whereunto_o they_o ought_v too_o refer_v themselves_o namely_o that_o every_o man_n look_v too_o employ_v himself_o in_o some_o thing_n whereby_o he_o may_v do_v good_a and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v we_o liken_v too_o the_o member_n of_o a_o body_n now_o then_o 12._o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o hand_n shall_v employ_v itself_o too_o the_o delight_a of_o some_o other_o member_n which_o notwithstanding_o shall_v receive_v harm_n by_o it_o by_o that_o mean_v all_o the_o body_n shall_v go_v too_o destruction_n so_o they_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o must_v always_o have_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o in_o what_o call_v soever_o we_o live_v god_n must_v go_v before_o we_o as_o if_o he_o call_v we_o too_o he_o and_o we_o follow_v the_o way_n that_o he_o show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n sure_o he_o will_v never_o allow_v of_o any_o trade_n or_o occupation_n which_o be_v not_o beehooffull_v and_o serviceable_a too_o the_o whole_a common_a wealth_n and_o redound_v also_o too_o the_o profit_n of_o all_o man_n therefore_o if_o a_o man_n use_v a_o trade_n or_o occupation_n which_o be_v too_o no_o purpose_n but_o to_o breed_v offence_n or_o too_o

too_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v without_o the_o compass_n of_o godly_a vocation_n or_o calling_n and_o that_o god_n do_v utter_o disallow_v they_o thou_o may_v well_o say_v i_o have_v travel_v in_o this_o or_o that_o yea_o but_o thou_o have_v serve_v the_o devil_n for_o like_a as_o the_o devil_n
