from_o he_o we_o must_v needs_o perish_v as_o it_o be_v through_o drought_n and_o emptiness_n but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o his_o point_n that_o the_o

still_o with_o you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v well_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a fashion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v not_o dispute_v of_o this_o matter_n after_o our_o own_o

you_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_n be_v to_o absent_v himself_o from_o we_o in_o his_o body_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v the_o better_o feel_v his_o presence_n through_o his_o dwell_n in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o as_o now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o go_v up_o and_o give_v his_o gift_n too_o man_n after_o he_o have_v lead_v away_o his_o enemy_n prisoner_n now_o this_o text_n which_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o threescore_o and_o eight_o psalm_n show_v that_o god_n be_v very_o exalt_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o deed_n in_o that_o song_n david_n preach_v and_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n because_o that_o

to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o all_o our_o enemy_n and_o to_o the_o bridle_a or_o rather_o too_o the_o fetter_n of_o they_o so_o as_o they_o can_v hurt_v we_o do_v what_o they_o can_v therefore_o according_a too_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o from_o out_o of_o the_o psalm_n it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v above_o too_o obtain_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n for_o else_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o and_o in_o deed_n let_v we_o consider_v what_o they_o may_v be_v able_a too_o do_v have_v infinite_a host_n too_o overthrow_v our_o salvation_n continual_o withal_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o as_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v such_o force_n as_o be_v terrible_a out_o of_o measure_n what_o may_v he_o do_v be_v it_o not_o that_o jesus_n christ_n fill_v all_o thing_n yea_o even_o too_o show_v that_o he_o have_v power_n both_o over_o satan_n and_o over_o all_o his_o upholder_n insomuch_o that_o practyze_n they_o prepare_v they_o and_o

as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o foot_n upon_o their_o throat_n you_o see_v then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v he_o with_o full_a warrant_n that_o we_o shall_v ever_o be_v defend_v by_o his_o strong_a and_o invincible_a hand_n because_o he_o have_v take_v we_o into_o his_o perfection_n even_o he_o that_o be_v exalt_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n say_v express_o 12._o that_o all_o knee_n shall_v bow_v before_o he_o as_o well_o of_o creature_n in_o heaven_n as_o of_o creature_n in_o earth_n yea_o and_o even_o of_o creature_n under_o the_o earth_n now_o when_o we_o hear_v that_o the_o angel_n stoop_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o apply_v they_o too_o our_o

who_o be_v their_o head_n we_o ought_v too_o be_v well_o assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n moreover_o let_v we_o walk_v so_o under_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o may_v feel_v that_o he_o fill_v we_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o because_o he_o be_v above_o all_o thing_n through_o

this_o therefore_o be_v a_o infastible_a order_n that_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a receive_v god_n grace_n and_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n hold_v jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o head_n too_o the_o

we_o acknowledge_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n in_o that_o he_o have_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o company_n wherefore_o when_o we_o see_v one_o sort_n sot_v in_o their_o unbelief_n

insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n it_o intend_v not_o too_o assign_v he_o some_o peculiar_a place_n the_o respect_n be_v far_o differ_v and_o

speak_v of_o god_n we_o must_v always_o lay_v this_o ground_n that_o he_o have_v a_o infinite_a essence_n which_o fill_v all_o thing_n 1._o so_o that_o heaven_n be_v as_o his_o royal_a throne_n &_o the_o earth_n be_v his_o footstool_n not_o that_o he_o have_v any_o foot_n nor_o any_o seat_n to_o sit_v on_o but_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n so_o far_o or_o wide_o that_o can_v contain_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n which_o be_v infinite_a as_o i_o say_v that_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n when_o god_n be_v speak_v of_o unto_o we_o and_o why_o then_o be_v it_o say_v that_o god_n be_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n and_o why_o do_v saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n here_o of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v because_o that_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o earthly_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v his_o temple_n &_o palace_n in_o heaven_n we_o will_v tie_v he_o too_o every_o pillar_n to_o every_o stone_n too_o every_o waterspring_n too_o every_o tree_n &_o too_o be_v short_a too_o
then_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o christ_n intend_v too_o distribute_v his_o gift_n by_o certain_a measure_n and_o thereupon_o we_o have_v too_o conclude_v that_o he_o which_o presume_v of_o himself_o

the_o very_a mean_a to_o rid_v away_o the_o plague_n that_o satan_n will_v have_v maintain_v still_o by_o silence_n and_o dissimulation_n therefore_o whensoever_o we_o perceive_v any_o imposthume_n
