mark_n we_o have_v read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o nature_n that_o man_n be_v immortal_a that_o his_o happiness_n be_v not_o here_o beneath_o but_o in_o the_o endless_a life_n that_o the_o blessedness_n of_o that_o endless_a life_n be_v to_o enjoy_v god_n above_o and_o that_o the_o mean_a to_o atteyne_v thereto_o be_v to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o here_o beneath_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n but_o the_o same_o book_n have_v teach_v we_o also_o that_o by_o sin_n we_o be_v fall_v from_o our_o original_n that_o we_o be_v fall_v from_o god_n favour_n into_o his_o wrath_n that_o we_o be_v infinite_o depart_v away_o both_o from_o serve_v he_o and_o from_o stick_v to_o he_o and_o consequent_o that_o we_o be_v go_v a●tray_o from_o the_o happiness_n which_o we_o shall_v seek_v &_o can_v find_v elsewhere_o than_o in_o he_o what_o remain_v then_o for_o we_o but_o utter_a despair_n and_o whereto_o serve_v the_o say_v endless_a life_n but_o to_o be_v turn_v into_o endless_a death_n and_o the_o everlasting_a happiness_n whereunto_o we_o be_v create_v but_o to_o our_o everlasting_a grief_n unless_o some_o board_n be_v leave_v we_o at_o hand_n to_o save_v we_o from_o our_o shipwreck_n i_o mean_v unless_o god_n do_v make_v we_o some_o way_n both_o to_o appease_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o come_v ageine_n into_o his_o favour_n in_o this_o extremity_n therefore_o we_o meet_v with_o religion_n which_o direct_v we_o to_o the_o true_a god_n but_o what_o else_o be_v that_o than_o a_o send_n of_o a_o offender_n to_o his_o judge_n or_o a_o lay_n of_o straw_n to_o the_o fire_n consider_v that_o god_n be_v infinite_o good_a that_o be_v to_o say_v infinite_o contrary_a to_o evil_n and_o if_o contrary_a to_o evil_a then_o also_o unto_o we_o who_o thought_n say_n and_o do_n be_v altogether_o evil_a the_o same_o religion_n have_v set_v we_o down_o the_o scripture_n wherein_o we_o read_v the_o will_n of_o our_o creator_n but_o what_o have_v we_o yet_o find_v there_o that_o mankind_n be_v corrupt_a from_o his_o root_n and_o as_o it_o be_v rot_v at_o his_o core_n that_o all_o the_o imagination_n of_o man_n heart_n be_v always_o utter_o evil_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o god_n command_v we_o to_o love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourself_o behight_v to_o they_o that_o do_v it_o everlasting_a life_n and_o to_o they_o that_o do_v it_o not_o everlasting_a death_n which_o of_o we_o feel_v not_o a_o stryve_v in_o all_o his_o member_n agein_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o who_o be_v he_o that_o ought_v not_o too_o feel_v a_o very_a hell_n when_o he_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o into_o the_o scripture_n to_o read_v his_o arreignement_n and_o condemnation_n and_o so_o what_o be_v religion_n but_o vanity_n and_o what_o be_v the_o scripture_n or_o god_n word_n but_o a_o harthyting_n if_o we_o find_v not_o there_o the_o charter_n of_o grace_n and_o remission_n which_o reconcyle_v we_o to_o god_n and_o knit_v we_o ageine_n unto_o he_o and_o by_o that_o unyte_a do_v restore_v we_o the_o happiness_n whereunto_o we_o be_v create_v so_o fall_v it_o out_o that_o god_n can_v be_v disappoint_v of_o his_o purpose_n and_o that_o the_o religion_n which_o he_o have_v grave_v so_o deep_o in_o man_n heart_n can_v be_v in_o vain_a needs_o then_o must_v it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o must_v find_v our_o grace_n and_o the_o mean_v thereof_o which_o be_v the_o three_o and_o chief_a mark_n that_o we_o seek_v let_v we_o express_v this_o doctrine_n yet_o playnly_a for_o it_o be_v the_o very_a knot_n and_o form_n or_o inshape_v of_o all_o religion_n the_o happiness_n of_o man_n be_v to_o be_v unite_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o way_n to_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o be_v to_o stick_v unto_o his_o will_n the_o first_o man_n be_v create_v free_a and_o capable_a of_o good_a disobey_v god_n and_o by_o his_o disobedience_n become_v a_o bondslave_n to_o

this_o rebel_n be_v we_o all_o bear_v and_o his_o flesh_n have_v beget_v we_o both_o fleshly_a and_o bondslave_n of_o sin_n as_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n than_o we_o can_v look_v for_o none_o other_o than_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v death_n neither_o can_v we_o have_v any_o other_o inheritance_n than_o our_o father_n who_o have_v leave_v we_o nothing_o else_o to_o inherit_v but_o

against_o god_n against_o our_o father_n against_o our_o maker_n all_o which_o be_v a_o great_a aggravate_v of_o our_o fault_n namely_o that_o the_o child_n shall_v rebel_v against_o his_o father_n

of_o our_o punishment_n still_o even_o to_o the_o uttermost_a have_v need_n of_o a_o remedy_n and_o what_o shall_v that_o remedy_n be_v god_n mercy_n nay_o mercy_n may_v not_o be_v contrary_a to_o

without_o prejudice_n of_o his_o justice_n so_o as_o both_o of_o they_o may_v be_v verify_v as_o well_o that_o god_n be_v infinite_o gracious_a as_o that_o he_o infinite_o hate_v all_o evil_a both_o
