furthermore_o see_v that_o christ_n reason_v in_o this_o place_n that_o man_n must_v be_v bear_v again_o because_o they_o be_v flesh_n only_o without_o doubt_n he_o comprehend_v under_o flesh_n the_o

here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v object_v see_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o beget_v of_o the_o issue_n of_o man_n we_o be_v not_o bear_v of_o flesh_n in_o our_o principal_a part_n hereby_o it_o

whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v not_o altogether_o wicked_a we_o may_v easy_o answer_v that_o the_o gift_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v leave_v we_o after_o the_o fall_n if_o they_o be_v

be_v true_a in_o respect_n of_o his_o divinity_n the_o manner_n of_o speech_n import_v a_o other_o thing_n namely_o that_o he_o himself_o as_o he_o be_v man_n be_v in_o heaven_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o place_n but_z y_z t_z christ_n be_v only_o distinguish_v from_o the_o rest_n by_o this_o condition_n because_o he_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

be_v proper_a to_o the_o one_o nature_n to_o be_v translate_v unto_o the_o other_o we_o need_v not_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o further_a answer_n therefore_o christ_n who_o be_v in_o heaven_n have_v

neither_o be_v it_o be_v vain_a that_o the_o lord_n in_o time_n past_a when_o the_o jew_n be_v wound_v of_o serpent_n do_v provide_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o medicine_n and_o this_o do_v serve_v to_o

of_o the_o serpent_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o seem_v a_o absurd_a thing_n if_o contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n he_o be_v extol_v from_o low_a degree_n unto_o high_a because_o that_o be_v shadow_v in_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o serpent_n under_o the_o law_n now_o the_o question_n be_v ask_v whether_o christ_n do_v compare_v himself_o to_o the_o

appoint_v unto_o the_o present_a use_n yet_o paul_n do_v also_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a mystery_n both_o this_o place_n and_o also_o that_o that_o the_o serpent_n be_v keep_v until_o such_o time_n as_o through_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o idol_n do_v induce_v i_o to_o think_v the_o same_o concern_v the_o brazen_a serpent_n if_o any_o man_n think_v otherwise_o i_o do_v not_o contend_v 16_o for_o so_o god_n christ_n open_v the_o first_o cause_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o that_o least_o

we_o can_v seek_v the_o whole_a matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n no_o where_o else_o save_v only_o in_o christ_n so_o we_o must_v mark_v whence_o christ_n come_v unto_o we_o why_o he_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v our_o saviour_n both_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_o deliver_v unto_o we_o in_o this_o place_n namely_o y_z t_z faith_n in_o christ_n do_v give_v life_n unto_o all_o man_n &_o that_o christ_n bring_v life_n unto_o we_o because_o our_o heavenly_a father_n will_v not_o have_v mankind_n who_o he_o love_v to_o perish_v and_o here_o must_v mark_v the_o order_n diligent_o for_o

that_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o give_v christ_n by_o measure_n as_o if_o the_o faculty_n and_o store_n of_o that_o grace_n wherein_o he_o excel_v be_v limit_v by_o some_o measure_n as_o paul_n

for_o they_o have_v no_o true_a and_o lawful_a reason_n to_o render_v why_o they_o do_v so_o because_o they_o seek_v in_o christ_n another_o thing_n than_o christ_n himself_o therefore_o this_o

unto_o a_o strange_a end_n he_o do_v worthy_o cast_v in_o their_o tooth_n that_o they_o have_v great_a respect_n unto_o their_o belly_n then_o unto_o the_o miracle_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o they_o do_v not_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v for_o this_o have_v be_v true_a profit_v so_o to_o have_v acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v give_v themselves_o to_o be_v teach_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o and_o to_o have_v go_v towards_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o be_v their_o guide_n but_o they_o look_v for_o no_o more_o at_o his_o hand_n but_o to_o be_v well_o in_o this_o world_n furthermore_o this_o be_v to_o spoil_n christ_n of_o his_o principal_a power_n for_o he_o be_v give_v of_o the_o father_n for_o this_o cause_n and_o he_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o man_n for_o this_o cause_n that_o he_o may_v reform_v those_o who_o be_v endow_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o

his_o miracle_n for_o he_o y_fw-fr t_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o attain_v unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o stick_v fast_o in_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n he_o seek_v no_o

of_o gain_n some_o for_o fear_n some_o for_o their_o sake_n who_o they_o will_v please_v do_v profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christ_n his_o disciple_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o the_o seek_n of_o christ_n that_o contemn_v the_o world_n we_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o but_o because_o man_n be_v well_o persuade_v of_o

while_o that_o it_o work_v effectual_o in_o we_o through_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n what_o thing_n soever_o do_v nourish_v &_o further_a faith_n they_o be_v compare_v to_o meat_n he_o call_v this_o kind_n of_o meat_n uncorruptible_a and_o he_o say_v that_o it_o remain_v unto_o eternal_a life_n that_o we_o may_v know_v

the_o prophet_n do_v send_v their_o disciple_n unto_o some_o other_o but_o christ_n retain_v they_o in_o himself_o we_o must_v also_o note_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v in_o the_o first_o

because_o proverb_n have_v in_o they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n figure_n and_o trope_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v thereby_o that_o the_o hebritianse_fw-mi do_v call_v mshlâ—s_n dark_a speech_n or_o notable_a sentence_n which_o the_o grecian_n call_v apohthegmata_fw-la which_o have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n some_o doubtful_a or_o obscure_a thing_n in_o they_o therefore_o the_o sense_n be_v this_o i_o seem_v to_o speak_v unto_o you_o now_o figurative_o &_o not_o in_o plain_a &_o manifest_a speech_n but_o i_o will_v speak_v unto_o you_o short_o more_o familiar_o that_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o doubtful_a or_o hard_a in_o my_o doctrine_n we_o see_v that_o now_o which_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v that_o the_o disciple_n be_v encourage_v with_o the_o hope_n of_o better_a profit_v jest_n they_o reject_v the_o doctrine_n because_o they_o do_v not_o as_o yet_o well_o understande_v what_o it_o mean_v for_o unless_o the_o hope_n of_o profit_v do_v inflame_v we_o the_o desire_n to_o learn_v must_v needs_o wax_v cold_a and_o the_o matter_n do_v manifest_o declare_v that_o christ_n speak_v not_o dark_o but_o that_o he_o use_v a_o easy_a and_o a_o gross_a kind_n of_o speech_n when_o he_o speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n but_o their_o rudeness_n be_v so_o great_a that_o be_v amaze_v they_o do_v depend_v upon_o his_o mouth_n wherefore_o this_o darkness_n be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o the_o doctrine_n as_o in_o their_o mind_n and_o true_o the_o same_o thing_n befall_v we_o at_o this_o day_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v this_o title_n give_v it_o not_o in_o vain_a that_o
