of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n where_o he_o recite_v short_o the_o sum_n of_o god_n commandment_n do_v say_v the_o first_o of_o all_o the_o commandment_n be_v hear_v oh_o israel_n the_o lord_n

who_o soever_o do_v with_o his_o work_v deserve_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o the_o reward_n be_v give_v as_o a_o thing_n of_o duty_n due_a unto_o he_o and_o not_o impute_v free_o as_o though_o it_o be_v

reason_n of_o that_o first_o corruption_n which_o root_n bring_v forth_o a_o corrupt_a branch_n in_o nature_n like_o unto_o itself_o which_o branch_n satan_n even_o now_o as_o he_o have_v do_v

add_v two_o most_o evident_a testimony_n the_o one_o out_o of_o the_o write_n of_o the_o evangelist_n the_o other_o out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o begin_v and_o stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n because_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o when_o he_o speak_v a_o lie_n he_o speak_v 8._o of_o his_o own_o because_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o gather_v that_o evil_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o devil_n who_o be_v create_v in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n do_v not_o stand_v fast_o in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n but_o degenerate_v from_o his_o nature_n wherein_o he_o be_v make_v good_a and_o fall_v into_o another_o nature_n corrupt_a and_o wicked_a and_o have_v out_o of_o himself_o disperse_v all_o evil_a as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o history_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n into_o the_o world_n to_o wit_v murder_n and_o lie_n under_o which_o two_o be_v comprehend_v all_o other_o evil_n of_o which_o he_o be_v express_o say_v to_o be_v the_o father_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n the_o author_n the_o wellspring_n and_o beginning_n not_o because_o he_o be_v make_v such_o a_o one_o of_o god_n but_o because_o he_o stand_v not_o fast_o in_o the_o truth_n to_o they_o therefore_o that_o do_v demand_v of_o what_o beginning_n satan_n come_v and_o whether_o god_n make_v he_o or_o no_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n in_o deed_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n and_o those_o also_o which_o afterward_o do_v become_v reprobate_n and_o wicked_a devil_n but_o we_o do_v not_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o evil_a do_v redound_v to_o god_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n good_a for_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o make_v be_v good_a furthermore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v that_o he_o revolt_v from_o the_o truth_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v revolt_v if_o he_o have_v never_o stand_v in_o it_o therefore_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v place_v all_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o truth_n he_o require_v of_o they_o truth_n faith_n or_o fidelity_n and_o the_o duty_n that_o they_o ought_v he_o which_o they_o be_v able_a to_o have_v do_v if_o they_o themselves_o will_v but_o they_o do_v disloyal_o fall_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o sin_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n testify_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n of_o their_o falsehood_n and_o of_o all_o their_o naughtiness_n be_v not_o in_o god_n but_o in_o the_o rebellious_a and_o revolt_a angel._n for_o since_o the_o time_n of_o his_o fall_n there_o be_v no_o truth_n no_o fidelity_n no_o integrity_n no_o fear_n of_o god_n no_o light_n or_o goodness_n to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o therefore_o true_o say_v saint_n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o sinner_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n to_o this_o also_o may_v this_o note_n be_v add_v that_o of_o peter_n and_o john_n the_o devil_n be_v say_v to_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n therefore_o god_n will_v not_o have_v have_v he_o perish_v whereupon_o since_o he_o perish_v it_o follow_v that_o he_o perish_v not_o by_o the_o fault_n of_o god_n but_o by_o his_o own_o fault_n let_v we_o now_o hear_v the_o other_o testimony_n concern_v the_o corrupt_a will_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o cause_n of_o sin_n saint_n james_n the_o apostle_n say_v let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v i_o be_o tempt_v of_o god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v with_o evil_a neither_o tempt_v he_o any_o man_n but_o every_o man_n be_v tempt_v when_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o and_o entice_v of_o his_o own_o concupiscence_n then_o when_o lust_n have_v conceive_v it_o bring_v forth_o sin_n and_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v finish_v bring_v forth_o death_n in_o these_o word_n saint_n james_n i_o hope_v do_v evident_o enough_o make_v god_n to_o be_v free_a from_o all_o fault_n of_o sin_n and_o do_v derive_v it_o of_o we_o ourselves_o show_v by_o the_o way_n the_o beginning_n and_o proceed_v of_o sin_n neither_o do_v james_n in_o this_o place_n gainsay_v the_o place_n in_o genesis_n where_o moses_n say_v god_n tempt_v abraham_n for_o in_o moses_n to_o tempt_v do_v signify_v to_o make_v a_o trial_n or_o a_o proof_n but_o in_o this_o argument_n of_o we_o it_o signify_v to_o stir_v or_o draw_v to_o evil_a and_o so_o to_o corrupt_v we_o therefore_o god_n as_o he_o can_v say_v he_o be_v tempt_v of_o evil_a that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o god_n be_v by_o
