the_o purpose_n of_o he_o that_o speak_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o uncomely_a for_o christ_n disciple_n they_o to_z play_z and_o cavil_v with_o the_o word_n whereas_o the_o meaning_n of_o

so_o the_o faithful_a must_v through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n with_o continual_a step_n pass_v through_o many_o injury_n therefore_o when_o they_o be_v once_o hurt_v he_o will_v

deserve_v no_o less_o praise_n of_o patience_n than_o he_o that_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v twice_o spoil_v before_o he_o will_v go_v to_o law_n therefore_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o christian_n when_o any_o attempt_n to_o spoil_v they_o of_o part_n of_o their_o good_n shall_v be_v ready_a to_o be_v whole_o spoil_v hereby_o we_o gather_v that_o they_o be_v not_o altogether_o seclude_v from_o

for_o the_o common_a wealth_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a simp_o to_o condemn_v the_o thing_n itself_o until_o the_o corrupt_a affection_n do_v appear_v the_o diverse_a phrase_n in_o matthew_n and_o

the_o evangelist_n add_v immediate_o after_o that_o they_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n not_o by_o the_o proper_a will_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o when_o as_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o

the_o sense_n do_v best_a agree_v with_o this_o place_n and_o the_o circumlocution_n which_o the_o evangelist_n use_v be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o grace_n then_o if_o he_o have_v say_v in_o one_o word_n that_o all_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v make_v by_o he_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o he_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o

vouchsafe_v to_o extol_v such_o unto_o this_o honour_n that_o they_o shall_v begin_v sudden_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o euangeliste_n extoll_v the_o greatness_n of_o this_o

of_o this_o place_n the_o evangelist_n say_v that_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o those_o who_o do_v now_o already_o believe_v and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v now_o the_o child_n of_o

unto_o faith_n and_o this_o must_v be_v diligent_o note_v because_o many_o man_n do_v foolish_o forge_v to_o themselves_o a_o confuse_a faith_n without_o any_o understanding_n of_o doctrine_n like_o as_o amongst_o the_o papist_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o common_a than_o this_o word_n believe_v whereas_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o

opinion_n of_o those_o who_o think_v that_o the_o evangelist_n touch_v here_o by_o the_o way_n the_o wicked_a boldness_n and_o confidence_n of_o the_o jew_n they_o have_v always_o in_o their_o mouth_n the_o worthiness_n of_o their_o stock_n as_o if_o they_o who_o descend_v of_o a_o holy_a progeny_n be_v natural_o holy_a and_o they_o may_v worthy_o have_v brag_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o abraham_n if_o so_o be_v it_o they_o have_v be_v the_o lawful_a son_n of_o abraham_n and_o not_o degenerate_a child_n but_o the_o boast_n of_o faith_n arrogate_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o carnal_a beget_n but_o it_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o have_v receive_v all_o that_o goodness_n which_o it_o have_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n alone_o therefore_o john_n say_v that_o the_o gentile_n who_o believe_v in_o christ_n who_o be_v before_o unclean_a be_v bear_v the_o son_n of_o god_n not_o of_o the_o womb_n but_o they_o be_v fashion_v again_o by_o god_n that_o they_o may_v begin_v to_o be_v he_o seem_v to_o have_v put_v blood_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v the_o better_o express_v the_o long_a succession_n of_o the_o stock_n for_o this_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o jewish_a boast_n that_o they_o be_v able_a direct_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o come_v from_o the_o patriarch_n by_o a_o continual_a course_n the_o will_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o man_n do_v signify_v all_o one_o thing_n in_o my_o judgement_n for_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n why_o flesh_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o the_o woman_n as_o many_o do_v think_v with_o augustine_n but_o rather_o in_o this_o that_o the_o euangeliste_n repeat_v one_o thing_n in_o diverse_a word_n he_o beat_v in_o the_o same_o the_o better_a and_o imprint_v it_o more_o deep_o in_o man_n mind_n and_o although_o he_o do_v proper_o respect_v the_o jew_n who_o do_v brag_v of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o may_v there_o a_o general_a doctrine_n be_v gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o this_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o our_o nature_n neither_o do_v it_o proceed_v from_o we_o that_o we_o be_v account_v the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o because_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o own_o will_n that_o be_v of_o his_o free_a love_n beget_v us._n hereupon_o it_o follow_v first_o that_o faith_n proceed_v not_o from_o we_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o spiritual_a regeneration_n for_o the_o evangelist_n say_v that_o no_o man_n can_v believe_v unless_o he_o be_v beget_v of_o god_n therefore_o faith_n be_v a_o heavenly_a gift_n second_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o cold_a and_o bare_a knowledge_n since_o none_o can_v believe_v but_o he_o that_o be_v fashion_v again_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o evangelist_n deal_v disorderly_a in_o put_v regeneration_n before_o faith_n see_v that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o effect_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v set_v after_o he_o i_o answer_v that_o both_o of_o they_o do_v very_o well_o agree_v because_o we_o do_v both_o conceive_v the_o incorruptible_a seed_n by_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v bear_v again_o into_o a_o new_a and_o divine_a life_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o faith_n be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o dwell_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n alone_o therefore_o in_o diverse_a respect_n faith_n be_v a_o part_n of_o our_o regeneration_n and_o a_o entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o it_o may_v number_v we_o amongst_o his_o child_n for_o whereas_o the_o spirit_n do_v illuminate_v our_o mind_n that_o do_v now_o appertain_v unto_o the_o renew_v of_o us._n by_o this_o mean_n faith_n do_v flow_v from_o regeneration_n as_o from_o a_o fountain_n but_o because_o we_o receive_v christ_n by_o the_o same_o faith_n who_o do_v sanctify_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o our_o adoption_n although_o there_o may_v another_o more_o plain_a &_o ready_a distinction_n be_v bring_v for_o when_o the_o lord_n inspire_v faith_n he_o beget_v we_o again_o secret_o &_o by_o a_o secret_a mean_n which_o we_o know_v not_o and_o be_v endue_v with_o faith_n we_o lay_v hold_v upon_o with_o a_o lively_a feel_n of_o the_o
do_v here_o commend_v and_o set_v forth_o that_o plentiful_a abundance_n of_o good_a thing_n which_o christ_n bring_v forth_o with_o his_o come_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n
