for_o which_o cause_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o sour_a that_o go_v forth_o to_o sow_v his_o seed_n hither_o shall_v we_o resort_v for_o god_n be_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o she_o

how_o great_a a_o love_n the_o father_n have_v give_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o have_v next_o to_o consider_v that_o this_o birth_n must_v be_v after_o a_o

of_o great_a lord_n and_o prince_n and_o so_o have_v hope_n of_o their_o inheritance_n by_o our_o first_o birth_n but_o though_o a_o emperor_n have_v beget_v thou_o it_o make_v thou_o not_o the_o

the_o use_n hereof_o of_o be_v twofolde_a first_o it_o serve_v to_o beat_v down_o the_o pride_n of_o all_o flesh_n &_o to_o teach_v man_n not_o to_o glory_v in_o their_o blood_n nor_o kindred_n see_v

for_o chrisle_n sake_n that_o we_o may_v gain_v he_o the_o second_o use_n hereof_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o hope_n of_o life_n in_o a_o man_n who_o be_v not_o regenerate_v

they_o hope_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n and_o all_o the_o confidence_n they_o have_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o vain_a and_o deceitful_a thought_n of_o a_o blind_a &_o

their_o mind_n to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o must_v find_v themselves_o cast_v in_o a_o new_a mould_n and_o fashion_v to_o another_o shape_n and_o bear_v over_o again_o therefore_o we_o shall_v

after_o he_o have_v exhort_v we_o to_o join_v virtue_n to_o our_o faith_n and_o to_o virtue_n knowledge_n &_o to_o knowledge_n temperance_n 1.9_o 2._o pet._n 1.9_o and_o so_o forth_o that_o
