too_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n daily_o by_o our_o wicked_a do_n as_o folk_n that_o do_v in_o deed_n fight_v against_o he_o god_n then_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n or_o else_o he_o must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o abhor_v us._n 2._o too_o be_v short_a our_o sin_n do_v set_v god_n and_o we_o so_o far_o at_o odds_n that_o we_o can_v so_o

see_v how_o god_n receive_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n mean_v in_o add_v that_o in_o he_o we_o have_v

understand_v that_o the_o enmity_n which_o god_n bear_v we_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o nature_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o corruption_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o nature_n for_o as_o in_o respect_n that_o god_n have_v crease_v we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o can_v hate_v we_o but_o inasmuch_o as_o mankind_n be_v utter_o mar_v and_o give_v over_o too_o all_o naughtiness_n god_n must_v needs_o be_v as_o a_o mortal_a enemy_n too_o we_o and_o as_o a_o adversary_n against_o we_o till_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v bury_v out_o of_o his_o sight_n for_o we_o be_v subject_a too_o everlasting_a death_n till_o we_o be_v restore_v again_o by_o reason_n whereof_o god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n do_v utter_o hate_v and_o abhor_v the_o evil_a that_o he_o see_v in_o we_o therefore_o until_o such_o time_n as_o our_o sin_n be_v blot_v out_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o we_o too_o hope_v that_o god_n

therefore_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o can_v obtain_v no_o 〈◊〉_d at_o god_n hand_n nor_o be_v receive_v of_o he_o till_o our_o sin_n be_v whip_v 〈◊〉_d and_o the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o clean_o put_v away_o the_o reason_n ●hereof_o be_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v sin_n wherever_o he_o seize_v it_o so_o then_o as_o long_o as_o he_o consider_v we_o as_o sinner_n he_o ●ust_z needs_o abhor_v we_o for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o ourselves_o nor_o in_o 〈◊〉_d own_o nature_n but_o all_o manner_n of_o naughtiness_n &_o

hereby_o we_o see_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v love_v of_o god_n for_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o himself_o for_o wherein_o lie_v the_o love_n that_o god_n bear_v we_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o out_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o not_o too_o look_v a_o whit_n at_o we_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o it_o be_v declare_v further_o that_o god_n do_v never_o like_o well_o of_o we_o till_o he_o have_v release_v we_o o●r_a debt_n and_o adopt_v we_o too_o be_v his_o child_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o death_n before_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o zachary_n be_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a too_o we_o and_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n whereby_o we_o be_v become_v his_o enemy_n 77._o howbeit_o let_v we_o also_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o the_o clear_a release_n of_o our_o sin_n through_o god_n free_a goodness_n be_v not_o do_v without_o the_o ransom_n that_o be_v pay_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 18._o not_o in_o gold_n nor_o silver_n as_o say_v s._n peter_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n but_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n be_v fain_o too_o serve_v that_o turn_n his_o own_o self_n wherefore_o whensoever_o we_o intend_v too_o seek_v god_n favour_n and_o mercy_n let_v we_o fasten_v all_o our_o wit_n upon_o the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v there_o find_v wherewith_o too_o appease_v god_n wrath_n and_o furthermore_o sing_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o by_o such_o payment_n and_o satisfaction_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v aught_o of_o our_o own_o for_o the_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n wherein_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n have_v by_o his_o s●yghtes_n cut_v of_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n from_o the_o world_n by_o bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o they_o must_v every_o man_n ransom_n himself_o and_o make_v his_o own_o atonement_n with_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o man_n ●all_n good_a work_v merit_n and_o virtue_n in_o papistry_n for_o too_o what_o end_n tend_v all_o the_o invention_n which_o they_o have_v forge_v why_o martyr_v they_o themselves_o after_o so_o many_o fashion_n so_o as_o man_n never_o make_v a_o end_n day_n nor_o night_n but_o be_v ever_o still_o make_v of_o new_a wyndlass_n and_o course_n the_o mark_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n ame_fw-fr at_o be_v too_o pacify_v god_n and_o so_o all_o the_o good_a work_v which_o be_v so_o count_v in_o papistry_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o mean_n whereby_o too_o make_v amends_n for_o sin_n howbeit_o that_o be_v but_o a_o deface_a of_o the_o ransom_n whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o for_o there_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v a_o inseparable_a bond_n between_o these_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o god_n put_v our_o sin_n out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n and_o drown_v they_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o moreover_o receive_v the_o payment_n that_o be_v offer_v he_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n therefore_o we_o can_v attain_v the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o wherforeif_a we_o intend_v too_o have_v god_n favour_n
instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o deprive_v of_o the_o benefit_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o when_o god_n declare_v that_o he_o take_v the_o jew_n too_o be_v his_o flock_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v their_o father_n and_o saviour_n he_o declare_v also_o that_o no_o part_n thereof_o can_v come_v to_o the_o gentile_n who_o he_o have_v after_o a_o sort_n forsake_v and_o to_o who_o he_o have_v not_o vouchsafe_v too_o show_v the_o like_a mercy_n final_o he_o say_v that_o they_o have_v be_v without_o god_n which_o be_v the_o full_a measure_n of_o all_o mischief_n for_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o man_n when_o his_o god_n have_v so_o shake_v he_o of_o as_o there_o be_v no_o access_n for_o he_o nor_o no_o come_n too_o he_o again_o and_o that_o not_o only_o he_o be_v forsake_v of_o his_o god_n but_o also_o can_v but_o plunge_v himself_o deep_o and_o deep_a into_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n and_o make_v war_n against_o god_n as_o though_o he_o be_v at_o defiance_n with_o he_o because_o he_o be_v stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a against_o all_o goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o s._n paul_n set_v forth_o here_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o ephesian_n shall_v profit_v themselves_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v say_v this_o morning_n concern_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o thing_n for_o we_o too_o trust_v unto_o but_o only_a god_n mere_a grace_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o o●r_a self_n i_o have_v already_o declare_v brief_o that_o our_o father_n be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n that_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n too_o brag_v of_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o think_v of_o what_o root_n and_o original_n we_o spring_v for_o if_o the_o very_a jew_n be_v at_o this_o day_n a_o record_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o horrible_a vengeance_n which_o he_o lay_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o unbelief_n be_v there_o not_o much_o more_o cause_n for_o too_o cast_v down_o their_o eye_n which_o be_v but_o as_o thing_n bear_v out_o of_o time_n for_o the_o jew_n be_v of_o the_o holy_a root_n that_o god_n have_v choose_v and_o we_o be_v but_o graffed_a into_o it_o in_o their_o stead_n if_o god_n have_v not_o spare_v the_o natural_a branch_n 21._o what_o will_v he_o do_v too_o we_o that_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o as_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n loe_o how_o s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o too_o lowliness_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o always_o too_o god_n mere_a goodness_n and_o frank_o and_o free_o confess_v that_o our_o welfare_n consist_v therein_o also_o i_o tell_v you_o second_o not_o only_o that_o our_o father_n be_v stranger_n to_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n because_o they_o be_v not_o adopt_v as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o that_o the_o horrible_a scatter_n which_o come_v upon_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o which_o reign_v in_o it_o still_o at_o this_o day_n ought_v too_o beat_v down_o all_o pride_n and_o presumption_n that_o god_n grace_n may_v shine_v the_o bright_a upon_o we_o now_o then_o as_o i_o say_v although_o we_o be_v baptize_v and_o have_v the_o badge_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o free_a adoption_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v be_v wretched_a idolater_n and_o be_v go_v away_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v in_o great_a estimation_n turn_v too_o our_o great_a damnation_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v for_o our_o welfare_n therefore_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a desire_n too_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n &_o he_o have_v wrought_v so_o in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o man_n may_v perceive_v that_o there_o be_v some_o goodness_n in_o we_o it_o may_v make_v we_o too_o forget_v by_o and_o by_o what_o we_o be_v afore_o by_o mean_n whereof_o god_n grace_n be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v too_o the_o intent_n therefore_o that_o our_o present_a plight_n hinder_v not_o our_o continual_a praise_v of_o god_n and_o our_o esteem_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n as_o it_o deserve_v let_v no_o length_n of_o time_n darken_v the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v of_o god_n but_o let_v we_o as_o it_o be_v enter_v into_o examination_n of_o they_o every_o day_n and_o although_o god_n have_v change_v our_o state_n at_o this_o day_n so_o as_o we_o be_v no_o more_o the_o man_n that_o we_o be_v afore_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o before_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o we_o we_o be_v as_o silly_a sheep_n that_o go_v

prevent_v we_o and_o give_v we_o remedy_n for_o the_o curse_a state_n wherein_o we_o be_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v upon_o the_o say_a speech_n whereby_o s._n paul_n put_v the_o ephesian_n in_o mind_n what_o they_o be_v afore_o be_v that_o although_o god_n have_v put_v away_o the_o thing_n that_o shall_v have_v make_v they_o ashamed_a and_o mark_v they_o afore_o hand_n with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o as_o they_o be_v become_v as_o precious_a pearl_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v have_v they_o too_o bethink_v themselves_o like_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o repentance_n which_o the_o scripture_n set_v down_o that_o when_o god_n have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o bring_v we_o home_o again_o from_o our_o stray_n we_o cease_v not_o too_o beethink_v we_o of_o our_o former_a sin_n even_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a abash_v and_o ashamed_a of_o they_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o hold_v down_o their_o head_n because_o they_o be_v sometime_o without_o assurance_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o love_n thereby_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o receive_v a_o singular_a benefit_n at_o god_n hand_n when_o we_o have_v the_o use_n of_o his_o sacrament_n which_o be_v as_o warrant_n that_o he_o take_v and_o avow_v we_o too_o be_v of_o his_o household_n and_o church_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o abuse_v they_o we_o shall_v pay_v dear_o for_o it_o but_o yet_o whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v put_v too_o the_o end_n whereunto_o they_o be_v ordain_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v inestimable_a treasure_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o for_o although_o we_o have_v god_n promise_n that_o he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n even_o from_o our_o come_n out_o of_o our_o mother_n womb_n yet_o be_v there_o nothing_o but_o uncleanness_n in_o our_o flesh_n now_o then_o have_v we_o

likewise_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o almesedeede_n 1●_o his_o intent_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v do_v too_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n which_o have_v need_v but_o yet_o he_o add_v that_o we_o must_v special_o succour_v they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o our_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n for_o the_o spiritual_a brotherhood_n which_o god_n have_v set_v among_o we_o ought_v too_o touch_v we_o the_o more_o and_o too_o make_v the_o church_n of_o god_n too_o come_v before_o our_o eye_n and_o into_o our_o remembrance_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o pray_v and_o these_o word_n our_o father_n ought_v too_o teach_v we_o too_o make_v our_o prayer_n common_a for_o none_o of_o we_o can_v say_v my_o father_n alone_o of_o himself_o but_o we_o call_v he_o we_o too_o show_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v such_o care_n of_o ourselves_o as_o to_o forget_v they_o that_o belong_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v link_v to_o we_o with_o so_o near_o a_o knot_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o then_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v express_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o the_o saint_n now_o be_v this_o well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o shall_v be_v well_o wake_v too_o pray_v too_o our_o god_n without_o end_n or_o cease_v for_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o state_n and_o plight_n of_o the_o church_n in_o these_o day_n although_o our_o lord_n give_v we_o some_o rest_n yet_o be_v our_o poor_a brethren_n torment_v by_o tyrant_n and_o by_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o faith_n some_o be_v fain_o too_o flee_v some_o have_v their_o good_n take_v from_o they_o many_o be_v thrust_v into_o prison_n and_o other_o some_o be_v burn_v at_o the_o stake_n all_o these_o poor_a soul_n be_v in_o unquietness_n and_o put_v too_o some_o new_a terror_n every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v as_o terrible_a manace_v and_o threaten_v as_o may_v be_v we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n drive_v all_o those_o forward_a with_o outrageous_a fury_n which_o will_v abolish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o see_v what_o scatter_n be_v make_v by_o the_o stumble_a block_n that_o satan_n thrust_v in_o by_o his_o champion_n we_o see_v how_o a_o great_a sort_n seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o put_v the_o gospel_n too_o all_o shame_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n the_o poor_a servant_n of_o god_n which_o employ_v themselves_o in_o his_o service_n be_v trouble_v and_o vex_v by_o all_o mean_n then_o if_o we_o gather_v together_o all_o the_o misery_n and_o adversity_n wheretoo_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a and_o consider_v well_o the_o distress_n of_o every_o of_o our_o brethren_n must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v dull_a than_o brut_v beast_n if_o we_o be_v not_o move_v too_o pray_v unto_o god_n yea_o even_o with_o a_o right_a perseverance_n in_o the_o same_o for_o though_o i_o be_v at_o my_o ease_n too_o day_n there_o be_v many_o thousand_o in_o great_a perplexity_n and_o i_o show_v well_o that_o i_o cut_v of_o myself_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v from_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o i_o pity_v not_o the_o member_n too_o who_o i_o be_o link_v not_o without_o cause_n therefore_o do_v saint_n paul_n set_v all_o the_o saint_n here_o afore_o we_o when_o be_v intend_v too_o inflame_v we_o the_o better_a too_o a_o right_a dispozed_a mind_n in_o pray_v and_o too_o continue_v throughout_o in_o the_o same_o and_o thereupon_o he_o require_v also_o that_o man_n shall_v pray_v for_o he_o you_o shall_v pray_v for_o i_o also_o say_v he_o that_o god_n give_v i_o boldness_n in_o open_v my_o mouth_n so_o as_o i_o may_v utter_v the_o secret_a of_o the_o gospel_n according_o when_o saint_n paul_n commend_v himself_o too_o the_o prayer_n of_o his_o neighbour_n thereby_o he_o show_v well_o in_o what_o humility_n we_o ought_v too_o walk_v for_o he_o do_v not_o counterfeit_v in_o exhort_v the_o ephesian_n too_o such_o pray_v he_o protest_v before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n that_o he_o have_v need_n of_o it_o but_o now_o let_v we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o saint_n paul_n what_o man_n be_v of_o such_o abilttie_n that_o he_o can_v forbear_v too_o be_v succour_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o his_o neighbour_n when_o saint_n paul_n exempt_v not_o himself_o from_o it_o now_o then_o let_v every_o man_n in_o his_o pray_n unto_o god_n desire_n too_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v throughout_o the_o church_n 18._o both_o general_o and_o particular_o in_o deed_n this_o promise_n shall_v always_o stand_v true_a that_o god_n will_v be_v near_o at_o hand_n too_o all_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o jonas_n fail_v not_o too_o be_v succour_v of_o god_n 2._o though_o he_o be_v in_o the_o whale_n belly_n now_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v forsake_v of_o man_n when_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o the_o remembrance_n of_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v yet_o will_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o regard_v we_o and_o too_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o we_o too_o succour_v we_o according_a too_o this_o say_n that_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n be_v always_o upon_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o 18._o and_o his_o ear_n open_v too_o such_o as_o repair_v unto_o he_o notwithstanding_o too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v we_o the_o better_a 16._o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v need_v one_o of_o another_o help_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o intercommon_v among_o we_o and_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v also_o another_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o he_o will_v keep_v our_o charity_n occupy_v wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o show_v both_o by_o our_o almesdeed_n and_o by_o our_o counsel_n and_o by_o all_o other_o help_n that_o none_o of_o we_o be_v give_v too_o himself_o nor_o too_o he_o too_o own_o private_a profit_n but_o that_o after_o as_o god_n have_v link_v we_o together_o every_o of_o we_o covet_v too_o succour_v our_o member_n and_o too_o communicate_v together_o in_o our_o prayer_n &_o supplication_n for_o our_o commend_v one_o of_o we_o of_o another_o after_o that_o manner_n unto_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a duty_n of_o charity_n and_o therefore_o it_o cause_v saint_n paul_n too_o desire_v the_o ephesian_n express_o too_o pray_v for_o he_o now_o if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o that_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o unbelief_n for_o if_o this_o promise_n suffyze_v we_o not_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v obtain_v his_o own_o request_n be_v it_o not_o a_o point_n of_o distrust_n the_o answer_v thereunto_o be_v easy_a for_o whereas_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n upon_o all_o such_o as_o seek_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n he_o mean_v not_o too_o disannul_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v we_o in_o so_o many_o other_o text_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v mindful_a one_o of_o another_o furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o in_o follow_v god_n word_n we_o can_v never_o be_v blame_v of_o misbeleef_n for_o how_o come_v it_o too_o pass_v that_o man_n fall_v to_o misbelief_n but_o by_o pass_v
