we_o part_v of_o the_o spoil_n of_o his_o enemy_n he_o make_v we_o conqueror_n of_o all_o those_o that_o he_o have_v conquer_v so_o then_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n there_o be_v two_o way_n how_o

application_n 1._o application_n that_o christ_n do_v take_v unto_o himself_o all_o his_o follower_n to_o receive_v their_o life_n and_o nourishment_n and_o their_o be_v and_o glory_n from_o he_o and_o upon_o this_o promise_n faith_n do_v work_v and_o say_v christ_n be_v i_o and_o all_o christ_n belong_v to_o i_o he_o be_v incarnate_a for_o i_o he_o be_v bear_v for_o i_o he_o live_v for_o i_o he_o die_v for_o i_o he_o rise_v again_o for_o i_o he_o overcome_v for_o i_o and_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v it_o be_v i_o that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o faith_n by_o way_n of_o application_n which_o god_n have_v give_v as_o a_o duty_n or_o office_n to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n must_v apply_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o merit_n unto_o we_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n of_o application_n we_o be_v make_v conqueror_n the_o second_o mean_n be_v corroboration_n corroboration_n 2._o corroboration_n when_o faith_n have_v apply_v christ_n it_o receive_v comfort_n and_o power_n and_o with_o that_o strength_n that_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v it_o it_o work_v its_o best_a against_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n that_o it_o hate_v and_o detest_v evil_a way_n that_o it_o shun_v iniquity_n it_o labour_v to_o avoid_v all_o mean_n of_o apostasy_n and_o backslide_v from_o god_n and_o seek_v every_o thing_n that_o may_v please_v the_o lord_n with_o a_o upright_a and_o

therefore_o out_o of_o this_o we_o learn_v that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v comfort_n to_o ourselves_o of_o the_o victory_n of_o christ_n to_o join_v these_o together_o application_n and_o corroboration_n we_o be_v too_o forward_o to_o apply_v to_o ourselves_o all_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n every_o man_n say_v christ_n be_v i_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o push_n and_o when_o

the_o noble_a army_n of_o martyr_n praise_v thou_o out_o of_o this_o number_n of_o those_o that_o be_v persecute_v and_o suffer_v for_o christ_n the_o lord_n choose_v the_o most_o glorious_a number_n of_o saint_n so_o these_o be_v the_o saint_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n concern_v the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n the_o saint_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v most_o trouble_v of_o all_o other_o in_o the_o world_n but_o because_o the_o name_n be_v not_o here_o mention_v i_o will_v but_o only_o speak_v it_o to_o you_o in_o a_o word_n for_o there_o they_o have_v the_o high_a priesthood_n there_o they_o have_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o carry_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n as_o they_o think_v in_o their_o lip_n the_o priest_n lip_n shall_v preserve_v

against_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n therefore_o the_o poor_a saint_n have_v no_o such_o strong_a persecutor_n in_o any_o place_n as_o in_o that_o and_o beside_o agabus_n in_o act._n 11._o foretold_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a famine_n which_o seem_v now_o to_o be_v raise_v when_o the_o apostle_n write_v these_o word_n it_o seem_v the_o famine_n be_v then_o upon_o the_o land_n of_o judaea_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o come_v in_o the_o day_n of_o claudius_n cesar_n but_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o day_n of_o caligula_n the_o event_n of_o it_o be_v in_o the_o three_o or_o four_o year_n of_o claudius_n cesar_n suetonius_n and_o tacitus_n that_o write_v of_o that_o emperor_n say_v that_o search_n be_v make_v by_o the_o roman_n for_o all_o stranger_n and_o they_o be_v put_v forth_o of_o the_o city_n the_o famine_n be_v so_o great_a and_o claudius_n cesar_n make_v a_o haven_n which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o use_n but_o after_o that_o it_o be_v a_o famous_a haven_n which_o he_o make_v by_o dig_v a_o mouth_n out_o of_o the_o river_n tiber_n by_o which_o mean_n he_o bring_v provision_n into_o the_o city_n and_o make_v a_o passage_n for_o all_o the_o world_n at_o all_o time_n as_o dio_n the_o historian_n say_v this_o famine_n therefore_o which_o agabus_n foretell_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o apostle_n write_v now_o to_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o saint_n at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v a_o heavy_a hand_n of_o scarcity_n among_o they_o beside_o the_o persecution_n they_o endure_v and_o those_o two_o woeful_a event_n perplex_v they_o wondrous_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n desire_v that_o their_o charity_n may_v abound_v to_o they_o as_o their_o misery_n have_v abound_v so_o out_o of_o this_o we_o learn_v first_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v want_v want_v saint_n may_v want_v and_o stand_v in_o need_n to_o be_v maintain_v the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v a_o petitioner_n for_o the_o saint_n therefore_o the_o saint_n be_v man_n that_o may_v be_v in_o want_n the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v very_o needful_a here_o upon_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o i_o need_v not_o prove_v all_o experience_n confirm_v it_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v able_a to_o give_v they_o of_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o make_v they_o lord_n of_o all_o the_o soil_n the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n have_v promise_v they_o the_o blessing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o another_o a_o better_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o want_v many_o time_n and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o other_o man_n and_o haply_o of_o worse_a man_n than_o themselves_o be_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o want_n why_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o want_n first_o because_o god_n will_v show_v we_o that_o they_o be_v wean_v from_o this_o world_n that_o they_o be_v great_a than_o the_o world_n as_o saint_n chrysostome_n say_v speak_v to_o a_o philosopher_n thou_o know_v not_o how_o to_o master_v thy_o affection_n thou_o know_v not_o how_o to_o be_v in_o poverty_n and_o in_o disgrace_n but_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o out_o of_o my_o own_o bring_v up_o how_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v these_o thing_n and_o to_o contemn_v they_o so_o the_o lord_n by_o this_o will_v show_v that_o his_o child_n be_v of_o another_o spirit_n of_o a_o high_a spirit_n which_o the_o world_n can_v comprehend_v but_o they_o can_v easy_o comprehend_v the_o world_n and_o cast_v it_o behind_o they_o for_o they_o look_v for_o a_o city_n who_o builder_n and_o maker_n be_v god_n they_o expect_v the_o treasure_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v repose_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o christ_n therefore_o they_o scorn_v these_o thing_n below_o they_o do_v not_o mind_v they_o but_o for_o the_o present_a necessity_n only_o as_o severus_n say_v of_o his_o soldier_n that_o those_o be_v his_o best_a soldier_n that_o be_v the_o poor_a and_o when_o they_o begin_v to_o grow_v rich_a than_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v naught_o so_o in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n the_o saint_n be_v train_v up_o in_o poverty_n as_o the_o poet_n say_v if_o you_o will_v bring_v up_o a_o boy_n a_o young_a man_n to_o be_v a_o soldier_n learn_v he_o first_o to_o endure_v poverty_n learn_v he_o to_o lie_v hard_a to_o fare_v hard_a to_o encounter_v all_o the_o hardage_n which_o nature_n itself_o can_v hardly_o bear_v and_o which_o these_o delicious_a fellow_n can_v endure_v to_o think_v of_o let_v they_o first_o master_v they_o and_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o overcome_v their_o enemy_n and_o so_o in_o the_o field_n of_o christ_n the_o lord_n suffer_v his_o saint_n to_o want_v not_o because_o he_o can_v provide_v for_o they_o nor_o because_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o help_v they_o for_o those_o that_o he_o will_v give_v heaven_n to_o will_v he_o not_o give_v they_o earth_n if_o it_o be_v
