the_o spirit_n but_o be_v in_o his_o natural_a estate_n what_o must_v such_o a_o man_n as_o find_v not_o these_o thing_n do_v conclude_v he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n no_o but_o fear_v it_o &_o know_v

7._o verse_n 7._o be_v bear_v again_o our_o saviour_n christ_n forbid_v he_o not_o simp_o to_o marvel_v at_o this_o for_o if_o david_n 8._o psalm_n 8._o wonder_v to_o behold_v the_o natural_a creature_n of_o god_n how_o much_o more_o wonderful_a be_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v supernatural_a david_n speak_v of_o his_o creation_n say_v i_o be_o fearful_o and_o wonderful_o make_v much_o more_o wonderful_a be_v it_o to_o be_v create_v and_o make_v a_o new_a it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o regenerate_a a_o man_n than_o it_o be_v to_o create_v the_o world_n for_o at_o the_o first_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n with_o a_o word_n but_o to_o recreate_v a_o man_n there_o must_v be_v word_n and_o deed_n to_o christ_n must_v be_v bear_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v bear_v again_o in_o he_o christ_n must_v die_v for_o we_o that_o our_o old_a man_n may_v be_v slay_v and_o must_v be_v quicken_v and_o rise_v again_o for_o we_o that_o a_o new_a creature_n may_v be_v reviue_v and_o

nichodemus_n not_o marvel_v he_o mean_v such_o a_o marueling_n as_o fight_v against_o faith_n and_o cause_v a_o man_n to_o reject_v a_o thing_n as_o fabulous_a because_o he_o can_v conceive_v it_o but_o to_o wonder_v at_o god_n grace_n and_o power_n in_o the_o regenerate_a and_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o and_o our_o sense_n to_o the_o word_n and_o work_n of_o god_n there_o in_o be_v a_o commendable_a thing_n but_o mark_v we_o that_o nichodemus_n not_o be_v regenerate_v himself_o regeneration_n be_v a_o riddle_n to_o he_o as_o the_o papist_n and_o those_o that_o have_v not_o true_a

godliness_n be_v a_o mystery_n furthermore_o note_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v not_o we_o must_v be_v bear_v again_o but_o you_o because_o he_o will_v exclude_v himself_o for_o his_o first_o birth_n be_v uncorrupt_a he_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n without_o sin_n and_o therefore_o need_v not_o be_v bear_v again_o but_o all_o other_o man_n be_v corrupt_a by_o their_o first_o birth_n must_v be_v bear_v again_o yea_o even_o the_o pharisee_n who_o think_v themselves_o excellent_a in_o comparison_n of_o other_o therefore_o he_o say_v to_o nichodemus_n that_o be_v a_o pharisee_n you_o must_v be_v bear_v again_o as_o he_o say_v in_o matthew_n except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o 20_o mat._n 5._o

reproove_v the_o folly_n of_o nichodemus_n that_o do_v follow_v only_o his_o reasonable_a judgement_n and_o natural_a conceit_n in_o this_o work_n of_o regeneration_n this_o be_v supernatural_a as_o paul_n by_o a_o similitude_n take_v from_o the_o corn_n reproove_v the_o folly_n of_o the_o corinthian_n that_o follow_v reason_n in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n 36._o 1._o cor._n 15_o 36._o it_o be_v as_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n shall_v say_v we_o will_v know_v there_o be_v wind_n that_o god_n have_v create_v for_o many_o purpose_n we_o hear_v it_o we_o feel_v it_o and_o

ourselves_o change_v our_o judgement_n our_o affection_n and_o conversation_n as_o how_o evident_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o be_v perceive_v in_o paul_n who_o of_o a_o persecuter_n become_v a_o preacher_n in_o zacheus_n who_o of_o a_o oppresser_n become_v a_o distributer_n in_o abraham_n who_o of_o a_o idolater_n become_v a_o true_a worshipper_n and_o in_o marie_n magdalen_n who_o of_o a_o adulterer_n become_v a_o chaste_a liver_n and_o lest_o any_o shall_v say_v these_o be_v choice_a person_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v here_o so_o be_v every_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o sound_n of_o the_o wind_n be_v hear_v of_o many_o and_o the_o force_n of_o it_o be_v see_v in_o carry_v the_o cloud_n in_o move_v the_o water_n in_o dryve_v the_o
