hereafter_o 22._o for_o he_o be_v call_v the_o earnestpenny_a and_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o heritage_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o 14_o and_o which_o we_o look_v for_o you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n spirit_n must_v dwell_v in_o we_o if_o we_o be_v his_o child_n but_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v also_o gracious_a gift_n as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v in_o old_a time_n the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n the_o gift_n of_o prophesy_v the_o gift_n of_o heal_a and_o such_o other_o like_a and_o even_o still_o at_o this_o day_n god_n show_v well_o that_o he_o have_v not_o utter_o forsake_v his_o church_n for_o although_o visible_a gift_n reign_v not_o now_o as_o they_o do_v then_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o may_v see_v still_o that_o god_n do_v by_o some_o mean_a or_o other_o utter_v his_o operation_n among_o us._n furthermore_o saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o to_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o common_a and_o ordinary_a meen_n of_o it_o we_o will_v take_v this_o word_n spirit_n for_o the_o renewment_n which_o god_n work_v in_o his_o child_n 6._o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a corruption_n and_o we_o tend_v always_o towards_o the_o earth_n no_o doubt_n but_o man_n glory_v in_o their_o own_o wisdom_n and_o moreover_o think_v that_o they_o have_v a_o free_a choice_n and_o will_n of_o their_o own_o to_o take_v the_o good_a and_o leave_v the_o evil_a but_o those_o be_v but_o dream_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v let_v alone_o in_o our_o own_o nature_n we_o tend_v evermore_o untoo_o evil_n and_o the_o scripture_n also_o condemn_v we_o of_o it_o 5._o say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o think_v conceyve_v in_o man_n mind_n 7_o but_o the_o same_o be_v lewd_a and_o all_o our_o affection_n be_v enemy_n and_o rebel_n against_o god_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o beguile_v ourselves_o any_o more_o with_o vain_a flattery_n but_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o too_o be_v utter_o mar_v in_o adam_n so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sinfulness_n in_o us._n notwithstanding_o god_n provide_v for_o that_o mischief_n when_o he_o touch_v we_o too_o the_o quick_a by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o purge_v our_o heart_n as_o we_o desire_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o although_o we_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a as_o be_v requisite_a yet_o we_o fight_v against_o ourselves_o and_o go_v forward_o still_o to_o goodness_n and_o sure_o when_o god_n spirit_n be_v as_o a_o bridle_n to_o we_o to_o hold_v we_o back_o in_o his_o obedience_n it_o be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o govern_v we_o as_o his_o flock_n and_o hold_v we_o for_o his_o child_n for_o we_o can_v be_v count_v christian_n without_o this_o record_n that_o god_n warrant_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o his_o holy_a spirit_n be_v as_o a_o seal_n thereof_o according_a as_o i_o have_v already_o allege_v the_o record_n of_o saint_n paul_n 14._o out_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o ephesian_n and_o now_o he_o say_v that_o the_o galathians_n have_v receyve_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v for_o too_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o justify_v they_o and_o why_o for_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o principle_n which_o we_o have_v treat_v of_o namely_o that_o in_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v utter_o strip_v out_o of_o all_o the_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n which_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o have_v and_o that_o god_n do_v we_o such_o shame_n as_o we_o be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o he_o as_o quit_v confound_v for_o although_o god_n set_v our_o cursednesse_n afore_o we_o in_o the_o law_n yet_o we_o perceive_v it_o not_o so_o well_o there_o as_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o we_o see_v how_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v always_o flatter_v themselves_o and_o think_v too_o perform_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v they_o but_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n for_o god_n show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o poverty_n so_o as_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o beg_v his_o grace_n with_o utter_a acknowledgement_n of_o our_o baseness_n how_o that_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o have_v not_o one_o spark_n of_o virtue_n in_o we_o worthy_a of_o commendation_n now_o then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o without_o cause_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o such_o as_o receive_v god_n spirit_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v void_a of_o all_o trust_n in_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o acknowledge_v themselves_o behold_v all_o whole_o to_o god_n mere_a and_o free_a mercy_n for_o their_o whole_a salvation_n and_o why_o so_o for_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o can_v no_o more_o match_n together_o than_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v iustify_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o also_o iustify_v by_o the_o law_n what_o then_o be_v the_o gospel_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n no_o for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o god_n be_v author_n as_o well_o of_o the_o one_o as_o of_o the_o other_o and_o there_o be_v no_o contrariworking_a in_o he_o but_o the_o question_n here_o concern_v the_o case_n of_o our_o salvation_n god_n have_v give_v man_n his_o law_n too_o show_v they_o the_o way_n too_o live_v well_o and_o thereby_o intend_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o such_o condemnation_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v prefer_v a_o indictment_n against_o they_o and_o put_v a_o halter_n about_o their_o neck_n for_o true_o in_o the_o law_n we_o see_v nothing_o but_o â–ª_o hell_n gape_v open_a upon_o we_o that_o god_n vengeance_n be_v ready_a afore_o hand_n to_o encounter_v we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v arm_v against_o we_o as_o our_o enemy_n those_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n set_v afore_o us._n but_o now_o be_v the_o gospel_n give_v we_o for_o a_o remedy_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o in_o despair_n we_o shall_v flee_v to_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o way_n to_o do_v we_o good_a than_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n whereby_o god_n do_v so_o put_v away_o and_o wipe_v out_o our_o offence_n as_o they_o come_v no_o more_o to_o account_v before_o he_o the_o thing_n then_o wherein_o our_o righteousness_n consist_v be_v that_o he_o burden_v we_o not_o any_o more_o with_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o us._n and_o although_o we_o see_v god_n intent_n and_o determination_n to_o be_v such_o both_o in_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o gospel_n yet_o be_v we_o sure_a that_o there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n in_o it_o beside_o this_o also_o if_o we_o be_v not_o iustify_v by_o the_o gospel_n how_o can_v we_o attain_v salvation_n by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o preparative_n too_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o gospel_n for_o so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n god_n grace_n have_v no_o entrance_n intoo_o they_o if_o a_o vessel_n be_v full_a of_o wind_n let_v a_o man_n labour_n to_o put_v what_o liquor_n he_o will_v into_o it_o and_o he_o shall_v not_o get_v it_o in_o because_o the_o wound_n beat_v it_o back_o and_o hinder_v the_o put_n of_o it_o in_o and_o we_o may_v perceyve_v it_o even_o in_o man_n body_n for_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o take_v similitude_n of_o worldly_a thing_n too_o lead_v we_o to_o high_a thing_n if_o a_o man_n be_v hungry_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o have_v his_o stomach_n so_o puff_v up_o as_o it_o can_v abide_v any_o thing_n he_o may_v well_o be_v full_a but_o what_o for_o that_o all_o be_v

maintain_v he_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o foolish_a presumpteousnesse_n that_o be_v in_o us._n we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v well_o furnish_v with_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o howbeit_o that_o be_v but_o wind_n howsoever_o we_o fare_v and_o that_o wind_n shet_v out_o god_n grace_n from_o enter_v in_o but_o by_o the_o gospel_n our_o lord_n

unto_o we_o there_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n in_o we_o
such_o as_o be_v so_o fiery_a at_o the_o first_o dash_n that_o reason_n can_v neither_o appease_v they_o nor_o stay_v they_o therefore_o when_o man_n be_v so_o hot_a and_o fling_v themselves_o at_o all_o adventure_n thing_n must_v be_v allege_v agreeable_a to_o their_o nature_n to_o make_v they_o ashamed_a that_o they_o may_v be_v draw_v too_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n s._n paul_n then_o mean_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o the_o overcome_v of_o all_o our_o affection_n which_o be_v to_o far_o out_o of_o square_a too_o the_o end_n that_o whensoever_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o hate_v any_o man_n or_o to_o be_v revenge_v of_o he_o we_o may_v consider_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v one_o of_o we_o consume_v another_o like_a dog_n and_o cat_n and_o when_o we_o have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v proceed_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o although_o our_o hatred_n may_v advantage_n we_o never_o so_o much_o although_o we_o may_v always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o although_o we_o can_v bring_v all_o our_o practice_n and_o attempt_n to_o effect_v i_o say_v although_o we_o may_v have_v advantage_n by_o gyve_v head_n to_o our_o passion_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o a_o provoke_a of_o god_n wrath_n see_v we_o can_v not_o yield_v so_o far_o unto_o he_o as_o to_o love_v those_o that_o be_v unworthy_a sith_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o be_v afraid_a &_o submit_v ourselves_o with_o all_o humility_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n let_v we_o fight_v so_o much_o the_o more_o manful_o till_o god_n have_v get_v the_o maysterie_n and_o we_o renounce_v ourselves_o as_o i_o say_v forsake_v all_o our_o own_o nature_n too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v keep_v the_o sacred_a unity_n which_o he_o do_v set_v among_o we_o when_o it_o please_v he_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o if_o we_o mind_n to_o restrain_v the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n from_o reign_v in_o we_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n furthermore_o the_o battle_n be_v right_a hard_a so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o what_o we_o will_v do_v but_o although_o god_n have_v reform_v we_o and_o touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a so_o as_o we_o will_v fain_o please_v he_o in_o all_o point_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v not_o yet_o atteyne_v too_o perfection_n because_o our_o own_o nature_n will_v always_o lead_v we_o untoo_o evil_n but_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a we_o must_v mark_v that_o by_o the_o word_n flesh_n saint_n paul_n mean_v all_o that_o be_v in_o man_n and_o 〈◊〉_d what_o ever_o we_o bring_v with_o we_o by_o our_o birth_n according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n declare_v sufficient_o in_o the_o three_o of_o john_n 6_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n say_v he_o be_v flesh_n by_o the_o word_n spirit_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o his_o obedience_n &_o correct_v our_o vice_n &_o all_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o word_n and_o the_o term_n of_o man_n by_o the_o name_n of_o flesh_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v in_o way_n of_o contempt_n but_o yet_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o vice_n and_o corruption_n sometime_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o flesh_n it_o say_v 39_o very_o well_o what_o else_o be_v man_n but_o flesh_n that_o be_v too_o say_v but_o rottenness_n ageine_n all_o flesh_n be_v grass_n and_o ageine_n what_o be_v the_o egyptian_n 6._o they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n you_o see_v then_o that_o under_o this_o word_n flesh_n man_n be_v teach_v their_o own_o frailty_n and_o do_v to_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v but_o earth_n and_o dust_n 3_o worm_n and_o worm_n meat_n and_o this_o serve_v first_o of_o all_o to_o humble_v they_o but_o when_o flesh_n be_v match_v ageyn_v spirit_n then_o be_v not_o man_n take_v in_o their_o first_o state_n as_o they_o be_v create_v of_o god_n but_o it_o serve_v too_o show_v that_o they_o be_v corrupt_v and_o full_a of_o infection_n and_o wickedness_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o taste_n at_o all_o in_o they_o to_o discern_v aright_o but_o they_o be_v utter_o pervert_v in_o all_o their_o lust_n you_o see_v then_o that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v we_o be_v flesh_n even_o from_o our_o birth_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o be_v blind_a wretch_n which_o have_v no_o wit_n at_o all_o too_o come_v untoo_o god_n and_o that_o although_o he_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o stark_o corruption_n &_o that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o enmity_n against_o god_n and_o separate_v we_o from_o his_o rightuousnesse_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n or_o mind_n be_v oftentimes_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o spirit_n for_o the_o word_n spirit_n or_o ghost_n betoken_v a_o invisible_a substance_n which_o can_v

let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o mercy_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o seek_v it_o in_o his_o name_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o any_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o

they_o yet_o be_v it_o after_o they_o make_v common_a too_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o why_o for_o it_o consist_v in_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o ceremony_n by_o this_o word_n spirit_n saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o deface_v all_o the_o false_a opinion_n of_o those_o deceyver_n which_o mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n toogither_o he_o show_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n namely_o the_o

because_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v abolish_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o promise_n be_v at_o this_o day_n call_v spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o

know_v that_o second_o covenante_n do_v always_o repeal_v former_a covenante_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o man_n have_v make_v any_o bargain_n yet_o they_o may_v advyze_v themselves_o better_a

may_v well_o be_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v by_o a_o second_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o promise_v yea_o and_o solemn_o bind_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o go_v back_o again_o but_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n howbeit_o if_o both_o the_o party_n agree_v too_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v consent_v on_o and_o be_v both_o of_o one_o mind_n then_o may_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v no_o fit_a similitude_n too_o take_v man_n that_o be_v

falsehood_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o among_o man_n because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enregister_v so_o solemn_o aught_o to_o be_v stand_v too_o and_o perform_v without_o any_o gaynsay_n now_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v less_o steadfastness_n in_o god_n than_o in_o man_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n the_o gospel_n therefore_o must_v continue_v unimpeach_v notwithstanding_o that_o the_o law_n come_v in_o after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n this_o will_v be_v still_o dark_a if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v in_o order_n i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o what_o comparison_n s._n paul_n make_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v salvation_n in_o his_o law_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o man_n serve_v he_o and_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v we_o shut_v out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o

man_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o sell_v you_o this_o thing_n so_o you_o bring_v i_o money_n now_o if_o a_o man_n bring_v neither_o money_n nor_o money_n worth_a he_o can_v not_o be_v put_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v for_o the_o condition_n be_v that_o he_o must_v first_o pay_v for_o it_o so_o then_o god_n promise_v we_o the_o heritage_n of_o salvation_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v serve_v he_o but_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o because_o it_o be_v but_o upon_o condition_n that_o we_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fraught_v with_o all_o iniquity_n and_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o uncleanness_n and_o filth_n in_o somuche_o that_o we_o be_v just_o odious_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v in_o the_o law_n howbeit_o god_n receyve_v we_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o he_o offer_v we_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o will_v have_v we_o so_o too_o embrace_v his_o offer_a goodness_n as_o we_o shall_v hold_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o utter_o renounce_v

back_o his_o promise_n at_o that_o time_n ne_o mean_v to_o disannul_v the_o say_a covenant_n for_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o diminish_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o have_v first_o bind_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o promise_v man_n salvation_n without_o their_o desert_n and_o afterward_o intend_v to_o restrain_v it_o as_o

sure_a of_o the_o promise_n the_o heritage_n must_v needs_o come_v by_o faith_n and_o my_o allege_v hereof_o be_v because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v in_o this_o text_n may_v seem_v darksome_a

strike_v down_o the_o pail_n and_o spill_v it_o for_o if_o we_o do_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o harm_n than_o we_o do_v good_a what_o can_v we_o allege_v for_o our_o defence_n how_o can_v we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n wherefore_o if_o we_o purpose_v that_o god_n shall_v allow_v of_o our_o seruis_fw-la let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v constant_a firm_a and_o fast_o settle_v that_o we_o never_o swerve_v aside_o from_o our_o call_n but_o continue_v and_o go_v forward_o in_o it_o more_o and_o more_o howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o this_o upbraid_v be_v very_o rigorous_a s._n paul_n mitigate_v it_o say_v if_o at_o leastwize_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a wherein_o he_o give_v the_o galathians_n a_o inkling_n that_o he_o hope_v much_o better_a of_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o be_v start_v aside_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o endure_v long_o but_o that_o upon_o warning_n and_o exhortation_n they_o will_v return_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o in_o this_o text_n we_o see_v that_o when_o we_o be_v rebuke_v by_o god_n spirit_n it_o be_v not_o too_o make_v we_o fumish_a nor_o to_o drive_v we_o too_o such_o a_o desperateness_n that_o we_o shall_v take_v the_o bridle_n in_o our_o tooth_n and_o fall_v too_o chafe_v but_o rather_o too_o draw_v we_o to_o repentance_n god_n then_o intend_v not_o to_o make_v we_o so_o dismay_v as_o too_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o brier_n but_o after_o he_o have_v show_v we_o our_o fault_n he_o call_v we_o always_o home_o again_o too_o he_o and_o call_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a too_o receyve_v and_o take_v we_o too_o mercy_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o true_a lowliness_n to_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n and_o too_o acknowledge_v they_o unfayned_o and_o free_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n be_v well_o advize_v that_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v do_v we_o play_v not_o the_o mad_a bedlam_n nor_o go_v about_o to_o win_v any_o thing_n by_o start_v aside_o or_o drag_v back_o but_o yield_v ourselves_o guilty_a and_o be_v so_o meek_a and_o patient_a mind_a as_o too_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v blame_v after_o as_o we_o have_v need_n and_o when_o rebuking_n shall_v seem_v somewhat_o with_o the_o sharp_a &_o prick_v to_o we_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n too_o consider_v too_o what_o end_n they_o tend_v and_o what_o fruit_n follow_v they_o and_o that_o although_o god_n rebuke_v we_o thorough_o yet_o he_o be_v ready_a too_o forget_v all_o our_o fault_n afterward_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v say_v that_o although_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n have_v abolish_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o not_o withstand_v he_o on_o his_o part_n be_v loath_a they_o shall_v perish_v &_o will_v fain_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v and_o thereunto_o he_o rebuke_v we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o continue_v unamendable_a therefore_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v so_o far_o oversee_v as_o to_o stray_v from_o the_o right_a way_n yet_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o back_o too_o he_o and_o give_v we_o a_o mean_a to_o return_v again_o if_o our_o fault_n be_v not_o match_v with_o wilfulness_n now_o after_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v again_o that_o god_n have_v deal_v forth_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n among_o the_o galathians_n yea_o &_o that_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o somuch_o that_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o hold_v they_o to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v without_o turn_v aside_o or_o wander_a away_o from_o it_o whereas_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o god_n spirit_n he_o meen_v not_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v treat_v of_o this_o morning_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o use_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o reason_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o the_o sequel_n namely_o that_o beside_o god_n show_v of_o himself_o general_o too_o all_o the_o galathians_n that_o he_o have_v adopt_v they_o for_o his_o child_n he_o have_v also_o ordain_v prophet_n among_o they_o and_o man_n endue_v some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_a &_o othersome_a with_o such_o other_o like_a but_o all_o this_o come_v to_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o their_o turn_n back_o again_o to_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v a_o bury_n of_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o how_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n communicate_v his_o spirit_n to_o all_o his_fw-la for_o without_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v christian_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o our_o nature_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o reform_v we_o &_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o may_v become_v as_o it_o be_v new_a creature_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n do_v make_v we_o general_o all_o parttaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o he_o enlighten_v with_o faith_n to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o cheer_v up_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o &_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o obedient_o to_o his_o will_n &_o to_o be_v short_a so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v common_a to_o
all_o the_o faithful_a &_o to_o all_o his_o child_n but_o yet_o do_v he_o grant_v we_o other_o special_a grace_n beside_o as_o when_o he_o give_v we_o man_n that_o teach_v we_o his_o word_n faithful_o or_o that_o govern_v the_o common_a wealth_n wise_o or_o which_o have_v other_o gift_n for_o in_o so_o do_v he_o give_v we_o certain_a token_n that_o he_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o thereby_o also_o he_o bind_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o untoo_o he_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o reason_n that_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o he_o blame_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o galathians_n for_o that_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o it_o come_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o say_v it_o purposely_o because_o man_n will_v always_o make_v fair_a protestation_n enough_o that_o they_o meene_z not_o to_o reject_v god_n grace_n and_o yet_o do_v show_v the_o clean_a contrary_n in_o their_o dooyng_n as_o how_o they_o that_o be_v loath_a too_o suffer_v themselves_o too_o be_v teach_v and_o will_v drive_v away_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n if_o they_o can_v &_o they_o which_o through_o envy_n &_o spitefulnesse_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o abolish_v the_o remembrance_n of_o all_o those_o who_o god_n have_v establish_v too_o maintain_v the_o welfare_n of_o his_o people_n they_o say_v i_o do_v show_v well_o enough_o that_o they_o will_v have_v god_n too_o hold_v himself_o a_o far_o off_o from_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o come_v at_o he_o for_o he_o set_v before_o they_o the_o mean_n to_o come_v too_o he_o and_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o take_v it_o but_o do_v thrust_v it_o from_o they_o so_o then_o whereas_o s._n paul_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o galathians_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o protest_v open_o with_o full_a mouth_n that_o they_o will_v none_o of_o god_n spirit_n or_o that_o they_o hold_v scorn_v of_o his_o gift_n but_o too_o show_v they_o that_o they_o have_v very_o ill_o regard_v god_n utter_v of_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o church_n what_o ought_v we_o then_o too_o gather_v upon_o this_o text._n that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o mean_n too_o come_v untoo_o he_o we_o must_v take_v they_o awoorth_n even_o by_o fashion_v of_o ourselves_o unto_o they_o for_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o we_o and_o we_o wilful_o forget_v what_o be_v tell_v we_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o reject_v god_n and_o turn_v our_o back_n upon_o he_o of_o purpose_n too_o stray_v away_o from_o he_o wherefore_o if_o we_o intend_v that_o god_n shall_v continue_v his_o grace_n towards_o we_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o too_o the_o mean_n that_o he_o have_v ordain_v for_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o such_o as_o he_o send_v unto_o we_o let_v every_o of_o we_o exercyze_v himself_o alone_o also_o in_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n let_v such_o as_o have_v do_v good_a in_o edify_v the_o church_n have_v room_n &_o place_n among_o we_o and_o let_v we_o not_o shut_v the_o gate_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o s._n paul_n intent_n here_o be_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o faithful_a to_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o swerve_v never_o so_o little_a from_o it_o we_o be_v straight_o in_o the_o high_a way_n to_o destruction_n and_o so_o there_o be_v none_o other_o knit_n of_o god_n unto_o man_n than_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o must_v go_v as_o a_o chain_n that_o can_v be_v break_v betwixt_o they_o and_o paul_n do_v purposely_o once_o again_o call_v it_o the_o preach_n of_o faith_n to_o show_v we_o how_o great_a need_n we_o have_v that_o god_n shall_v prevent_v us._n for_o until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o confusion_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n what_o be_v we_o moreover_o we_o see_v how_o bountiful_a he_o show_v himself_o towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o give_v himself_o full_o to_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n sure_o it_o be_v much_o more_o than_o if_o he_o give_v we_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v in_o they_o for_o what_o be_v all_o other_o thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o see_v that_o god_n have_v declare_v untoo_o we_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o goodness_n add_v that_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v back_o any_o thing_n from_o we_o nor_o show_v himself_o a_o niggard_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o seek_v too_o he_o for_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o want_v we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o it_o and_o if_o we_o swerve_v never_o so_o little_a one_o way_n or_o other_o we_o deserve_v well_o to_o be_v utter_o bereave_v and_o dispossess_v even_o of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v receyve_v already_o and_o thereupon_o s._n paul_n bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n because_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o moreover_o because_o that_o in_o his_o person_n it_o pleaze_v god_n to_o show_v how_o we_o may_v become_v rightuous_a to_o be_v save_v for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n than_o the_o same_o that_o he_o go_v there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o way_n and_o that_o be_v set_v forth_o too_o we_o in_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n s._n paul_n therefore_o say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o the_o same_o be_v reckon_v too_o he_o for_o rightuousnesse_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v
