be_v not_o able_a to_o march_v one_o foot_n forward_o yet_o must_v we_o enforce_v ourselves_o beyond_o all_o force_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o that_o we_o shall_v go_v unto_o it_o as_o in_o our_o own_o strength_n as_o though_o we_o be_v very_o able_a people_n of_o ourselves_o but_o we_o must_v attend_v &_o look_v to_o have_v god_n to_o furnish_v we_o with_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o do_v and_o far_o above_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n this_o then_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v here_o to_o retain_v moreover_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v that_o although_o there_o come_v never_o so_o many_o thing_n thwart_v us._n but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v to_o do_v in_o it_o and_o not_o think_v any_o thing_n to_o come_v by_o fortune_n when_o as_o we_o be_v vex_v this_o way_n and_o assail_v that_o way_n but_o let_v we_o think_v that_o god_n guide_v and_o govern_v all_o and_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v the_o better_a to_o obey_v he_o and_o not_o to_o have_v our_o head_n and_o arm_n only_o arm_v but_o all_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o to_o be_v so_o furnish_v as_o saint_n paul_n also_o exhort_v we_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v arm_v to_o be_v able_a to_o fight_v stout_o for_o there_o he_o bid_v we_o take_v the_o sword_n the_o shield_n and_o helmet_n and_o all_o the_o whole_a furniture_n even_o from_o top_n to_o toe_n and_o beside_o he_o bid_v we_o to_o put_v on_o the_o whole_a complete_a armour_n of_o god_n and_o why_o do_v he_o so_o because_o although_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v well_o arm_v in_o one_o place_n yet_o will_v the_o devil_n by_o his_o craft_n &_o subtlety_n find_v the_o mean_a td_n assail_v in_o another_o place_n and_o continual_o lie_v in_o ambush_n for_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v learn_v wise_o so_o to_o furnish_v ourselves_o as_o that_o the_o devil_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v any_o breach_n about_o we_o neither_o yet_o find_v any_o open_a place_n to_o enter_v into_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o repulse_n both_o on_o the_o right_n and_o on_o the_o left_a side_n and_o the_o answer_n which_o abraham_n make_v unto_o his_o son_n show_v the_o same_o a_o great_a deal_n better_o when_o as_o he_o say_v my_o son_n god_n will_v provide_v a_o sacrifice_n in_o these_o word_n we_o see_v that_o which_o have_v heretofore_o be_v declare_v to_o wite_v that_o our_o faith_n must_v look_v further_a than_o unto_o this_o world_n neither_o can_v we_o believe_v in_o god_n without_o we_o give_v place_n unto_o his_o providence_n to_o rule_v over_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o or_o apprehend_v and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v very_o well_o incline_v ourselves_o thereunto_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v even_o of_o those_o work_n of_o god_n which_o we_o see_v before_o our_o eye_n if_o we_o do_v think_v of_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o cloud_n pass_v to_o &_o fro_o and_o yet_o we_o know_v not_o what_o god_n will_v do_v with_o they_o we_o see_v how_o the_o rain_n fall_v we_o see_v also_o a_o whirlwind_n arise_v with_o great_a and_o sudden_a rain_n we_o see_v likewise_o the_o heaven_n in_o short_a time_n wax_v dark_a and_o where_o before_o it_o be_v fair_a and_o clear_a there_o be_v now_o nothing_o else_o but_o obscurity_n over_o all_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o see_v and_o we_o shall_v have_v philosopher_n set_v we_o down_o natural_a cause_n hereof_o and_o yet_o without_o all_o doubt_n we_o shall_v be_v confound_v of_o these_o thing_n now_o what_o if_o god_n shall_v present_o deal_v after_o a_o strange_a manner_n not_o keep_v his_o common_a and_o accustom_a order_n this_o than_o shall_v be_v our_o instruction_n to_o be_v wonderful_o astonish_v when_o as_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o incomprehensible_a power_n of_o god_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v frame_v ourselves_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o providence_n and_o worship_v he_o when_o as_o he_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o he_o will_v surmount_v all_o our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n but_o what_o it_o be_v great_a pity_n that_o we_o can_v exalt_v god_n and_o say_v that_o he_o can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o all_o our_o sense_n be_v able_a at_o the_o first_o to_o promise_v us._n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o little_a faith_n in_o the_o world_n and_o they_o also_o which_o be_v reasonable_o well_o affect_v and_o think_v themselves_o dispose_v to_o believe_v god_n yet_o be_v their_o faith_n so_o lean_a and_o weak_a as_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o need_v to_o have_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o rebate_v the_o edge_n thereof_o now_o all_o the_o mischief_n that_o come_v hereof_o be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o abraham_n he_o say_v that_o he_o give_v glory_n unto_o god_n 2d_o rom._n 4_o 2d_o because_o he_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v almighty_a and_o this_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o whereof_o he_o speak_v that_o we_o must_v refer_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o which_v may_v any_o way_n trouble_v we_o and_o whereof_o we_o can_v find_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o unto_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o more_o to_o meditate_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n for_o whensoever_o and_o how_o often_o so_o ever_o there_o shall_v arise_v fantasy_n in_o our_o head_n to_o pull_v we_o back_o and_o cool_v we_o not_o to_o do_v that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o let_v this_o always_o be_v our_o shield_n and_o defence_n god_n will_v provide_v but_o as_o how_o it_o seem_v many_o time_n that_o that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o bring_v therewith_o great_a inconvenience_n and_o this_o be_v the_o curse_a wisdom_n of_o man_n that_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n unto_o faith_n and_o which_o have_v always_o bear_v the_o mighty_a sway_n for_o we_o see_v that_o god_n command_v king_n prince_n &_o magistrate_n to_o look_v that_o he_o be_v honour_v &_o his_o service_n pure_o &_o sincere_o maintain_v now_o hereupon_o we_o shall_v have_v man_n consider_v thus_o &_o thus_o with_o themselves_o and_o say_v why_o the_o world_n be_v now_o grow_v to_o be_v so_o wicked_a &_o perverse_a as_o there_o be_v no_o deal_n with_o it_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o this_o course_n all_o the_o world_n will_v rail_v and_o cry_v out_o on_o us._n and_o beside_o if_o this_o straight_a deal_n shall_v be_v use_v it_o will_v never_o come_v to_o good_a for_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o matter_n to_o manage_v and_o govern_v man_n there_o will_v come_v trouble_n of_o it_o and_o again_o if_o they_o perceive_v thing_n somewhat_o hard_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v then_o must_v there_o be_v some_o qualification_n or_o else_o there_o will_v be_v no_o good_a do_v in_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v i_o say_v with_o what_o temptation_n they_o shall_v be_v solicit_v which_o go_v about_o to_o oppose_v themselves_o unto_o any_o wickedness_n now_o what_o come_v hereof_o in_o the_o end_n sure_o most_o common_o that_o they_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o circumspect_a &_o wise_a and_o think_v to_o see_v far_a into_o this_o gear_n will_v so_o speak_v and_o deal_v as_o that_o they_o will_v prove_v neither_o fish_n nor_o flesh_n as_o we_o say_v and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n god_n be_v quite_o and_o clean_o shut_v out_o of_o the_o door_n for_o first_o this_o mischief_n come_v of_o it_o we_o obey_v he_o not_o sound_o &_o round_o as_o we_o shall_v and_o beside_o we_o rob_v he_o of_o that_o honour_n that_o belong_v unto_o he_o for_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v o_o such_o a_o matter_n may_v fall_v out_o if_o you_o so_o deal_v what_o be_v god_n dead_a have_v not_o he_o foresee_v for_o all_o the_o inconvenience_n that_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v this_o gear_n must_v not_o go_v on_o this_o sort_n for_o then_o such_o a_o mischief_n will_v follow_v thereon_o be_v not_o this_o to_o accuse_v god_n of_o folly_n &_o to_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o power_n as_o if_o he_o can_v not_o restrain_v any_o man_n from_o go_v whither_o he_o will_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o issue_n thereof_o to_o be_v both_o good_a &_o prosperous_a even_o so_o stand_v it_o with_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v a_o very_a few_o of_o they_o that_o can_v discharge_v their_o duty_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v many_o vice_n which_o hinder_v they_o but_o this_o curse_a and_o devilish_a wisdom_n reign_v in_o many_o which_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o stir_v up_o sundry_a contention_n

they_o to_o condemn_v themselves_o a_o hundred_o time_n but_o it_o be_v great_a pity_n that_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o rule_v and_o reign_v among_o they_o as_o that_o he_o have_v for_o these_o fourteen_o hundred_o year_n so_o blind_v those_o that_o name_n themselves_o christian_n as_o that_o they_o be_v go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o devise_v a_o bewitch_a fantasy_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v figure_v in_o the_o person_n of_o melchisedech_n &_o that_o his_o body_n be_v the_o heavenly_a brcad_n &_o his_o blood_n the_o wine_n to_o nourish_v soul_n and_o that_o he_o offer_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o now_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n this_o allegory_n will_v please_v such_o as_o have_v itch_a ear_n how_o jesus_n christ_n call_v his_o body_n bread_n and_o his_o blood_n wine_n and_o therefore_o this_o seem_v very_o well_o to_o agree_v that_o melchisedech_n offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n because_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n ought_v to_o have_v this_o power_n in_o itself_o to_o feed_v we_o and_o his_o blood_n also_o to_o quicken_v our_o soul_n howbeit_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v of_o any_o oblation_n make_v unto_o god_n but_o moses_n say_v that_o melchisedech_n king_n of_o salem_n offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o present_v it_o unto_o abran_n it_o shall_v here_o fall_v out_o that_o abran_n be_v god_n because_o the_o oblation_n be_v deliver_v up_o unto_o his_o own_o person_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o himself_o alone_o but_o for_o his_o whole_a company_n also_o so_o here_o the_o kingly_a liberality_n of_o melchisedech_n after_o he_o have_v once_o friendly_a receive_v he_o now_o to_o refer_v this_o unto_o god_n be_v to_o pervert_v the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o may_v be_v see_v and_o beside_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n not_o that_o they_o be_v before_o bread_n &_o wine_n but_o because_o they_o be_v offer_v they_o be_v call_v breed_v &_o wine_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v of_o the_o power_n &_o nature_n of_o bread_n &_o wine_n unto_o us._n for_o how_o be_v it_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v sustain_v by_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o our_o life_n preserve_v by_o they_o forsooth_o it_o be_v because_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v once_o offer_v be_v the_o sum_n and_o perfection_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o be_v before_o offer_v up_o his_o body_n have_v not_o be_v at_o this_o day_n meat_n neither_o yet_o his_o blood_n drink_n and_o mark_v why_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinth_n 5.7.8_o 1._o cor._n 5.7.8_o that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o passeover_n be_v offer_v up_o for_o we_o let_v we_o therefore_o now_o eat_v and_o this_o be_v the_o order_n that_o we_o must_v hold_v that_o be_v that_o the_o oblation_n be_v first_o make_v that_o we_o afterward_o by_o the_o power_n thereof_o may_v be_v nourish_v and_o fill_v with_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o now_o we_o see_v every_o manner_n of_o way_n that_o these_o miserable_a fantastical_a people_n who_o have_v corrupt_v this_o place_n of_o moses_n have_v no_o understanding_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o papist_n as_o they_o have_v be_v possess_v by_o satan_n and_o cast_v up_o into_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n not_o know_v to_o judge_v between_o white_a and_o black_a and_o that_o by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n have_v make_v themselves_o self_n so_o ridiculous_a as_o that_o the_o very_a child_n in_o the_o street_n may_v spit_v in_o their_o face_n &_o yet_o not_o content_v themselves_o with_o this_o erro●_n only_o have_v bring_v in_o also_o a_o great_a number_n o●_n other_o filthy_a dregs_n of_o their_o own_o and_o thereupon_o have_v say_v that_o bread_n &_o wine_n must_v be_v daily_o offer_v up_o since_o the_o priesthood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v answerable_a unto_o the_o priesthood_n of_o melchisedech_n whereas_o first_o of_o all_o they_o be_v convince_v by_o their_o own_o mouth_n of_o over_o gross_a folly_n for_o they_o say_v that_o in_o their_o mass_n there_o remain_v neither_o bread_n nor_o wine_n after_o the_o consecration_n or_o rather_o charm_v of_o their_o host_n as_o they_o call_v it_o but_o even_o god_n himself_o and_o although_o we_o see_v bread_n &_o the_o wine_n that_o distil_v yet_o they_o say_v they_o be_v but_o speech_n that_o be_v to_o say_v visible_a figure_n in_o which_o be_v no_o substance_n for_o they_o will_v make_v man_n believe_v that_o there_o be_v neither_o bread_n nor_o wine_n and_o so_o neither_o believe_v either_o their_o sight_n taste_n or_o yet_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o all_o their_o sense_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o make_v man_n believe_v that_o it_o be_v all_o nothing_o when_o as_o they_o have_v pronounce_v the_o sacramental_a word_n as_o they_o term_v they_o so_o that_o if_o they_o shall_v offer_v up_o bread_n &_o wine_n where_o be_v they_o for_o they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o there_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o allege_v this_o text_n &_o say_v that_o there_o must_v be_v bread_n &_o wine_n offer_v up_o we_o see_v then_o their_o beastliness_n to_o be_v so_o gross_a as_o that_o very_a child_n may_v laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_n and_o be_v their_o judge_n and_o beside_o if_o they_o will_v have_v any_o correspondence_n between_o melchisedech_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o must_v the_o psalm_n which_o we_o have_v allege_v 110._o psal_n 110._o needs_o be_v true_a that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o priest_n who_o be_v make_v by_o a_o particular_a oath_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v continual_o keep_v his_o office_n howbeit_o they_o make_v themselves_o priest_n in_o the_o room_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o be_v their_o similitude_n cast_v to_o ground_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v any_o other_o reply_v nor_o argument_n to_o confute_v their_o beastliness_n but_o take_v the_o text_n bare_o as_o it_o lie_v &_o therewithal_o eftsoons_o take_v their_o confession_n from_o their_o own_o mouth_n to_o cut_v their_o own_o throat_n but_o be_v as_o be_v may_v we_o see_v that_o by_o this_o text_n there_o be_v a_o singular_a doctrine_n &_o instruction_n which_o the_o devil_n strain_v himself_o to_o darken_v bring_v in_o doubt_n &_o falsify_v yea_o &_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a utter_o to_o overthrow_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o for_o our_o part_n ought_v so_o much_o the_o more_o awaken_v our_o dull_a sense_n to_o imprint_v in_o our_o memory_n that_o which_o be_v here_o contain_v &_o the_o rather_o incite_v thereunto_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o solemn_a oath_n that_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o pronounce_v for_o as_o if_o we_o have_v already_o say_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o soswore_v by_o his_o name_n but_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n infallible_o to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o righteousness_n peace_n and_o defence_n lead_v we_o unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n through_o jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v hereby_o to_o learn_v he_o say_v anon_o after_o that_o melchisedech_n bless_v abram_z because_o he_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o high_a god_n this_o blessing_n import_v a_o superiority_n as_o the_o apostle_n very_o well_o advertise_v we_o when_o as_o he_o say_v 7.7_o hebr._n 7.7_o that_o the_o better_a bless_v the_o less_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o a_o priest_n abram_n must_v needs_o be_v inferior_a to_o melchisedech_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abram_n be_v the_o father_n and_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o melchisedech_n represent_v a_o great_a person_n than_o any_o mortal_a man_n can_v be_v and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o make_v many_o of_o the_o father_n imagine_v he_o to_o be_v a_o angel_n but_o those_o be_v very_o foolish_a &_o mere_a toyish_a invention_n for_o when_o he_o be_v call_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n no_o doubt_n of_o it_o he_o be_v know_v to_o be_v a_o man_n in_o the_o country_n and_o also_o king_n of_o salem_n and_o this_o be_v as_o great_a a_o mockery_n for_o put_v the_o case_n it_o have_v be_v a_o angel_n yet_o shall_v he_o not_o have_v be_v great_a than_o abran_n in_o this_o general_a paternitie_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v come_v back_o unto_o this_o which_o be_v that_o although_o melchisedech_n be_v a_o mortal_a man_n yet_o surpass_v he_o in_o dignity_n the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o priesthood_n not_o as_o of_o
