man_n know_v where_o he_o die_v and_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n nevertheless_o he_o manifest_o show_v himself_o and_o eftsoon_o hide_v himself_o and_o be_v bury_v but_o no_o

he_o die_v for_o us._n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v without_o beginning_n &_o without_o end_n without_o beginning_n because_o he_o be_v god_n eternal_a and_o without_o end_n because_o we_o live_v for_o

at_o large_a &_o at_o this_o time_n brief_o run_v it_o over_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o sem._n see_v they_o why_o david_n also_o especial_o count_v the_o redeemer_n that_o shall_v come_v

consider_v that_o all_o the_o land_n at_o that_o time_n be_v full_o of_o idolatry_n for_o abran_n his_o father_n house_n be_v a_o den_n of_o idol_n as_o heretofore_o we_o have_v say_v &_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n witness_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o josua_n 24.2_o josua_n 24.2_o see_v they_o that_o all_o be_v so_o corrupt_v in_o the_o land_n of_o chaldea_n which_o be_v very_o nigh_o unto_o the_o place_n where_o noah_n dwell_v where_o he_o have_v continual_o live_v that_o sem_fw-mi &_o such_o as_o he_o be_v be_v there_o also_o see_v than_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v pervert_v and_o so_o foul_o defile_v the_o service_n of_o god_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n where_o the_o people_n be_v wicked_a where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o

god_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o god_n oftentimes_o have_v his_o church_n as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v rake_v up_o in_o the_o ash_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n not_o to_o be_v see_v but_o it_o suffice_v that_o god_n know_v it_o whereof_o we_o have_v here_o a_o testimony_n in_o melchisedech_n a_o man_n will_v have_v think_v that_o there_o have_v not_o be_v at_o that_o time_n one_o man_n that_o worship_v god_n sincere_o and_o simple_o for_o see_v that_o the_o grandfather_n of_o abram_n and_o all_o his_o kindred_n be_v give_v to_o devilish_a error_n and_o serve_v idol_n what_o must_v we_o think_v of_o the_o rest_n a_o man_n will_v have_v then_o judge_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v be_v utter_o abolish_v but_o we_o may_v see_v that_o he_o have_v reserve_v a_o little_a seed_n thereof_o when_o as_o his_o will_n be_v that_o melchisedech_n shall_v be_v a_o priest_n there_o yea_o even_o in_o such_o a_o land_n as_o more_o exceed_v in_o all_o iniquity_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n let_v we_o then_o apply_v this_o to_o our_o own_o use_n for_o this_o be_v a_o dangerous_a temptation_n for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v no_o church_n in_o the_o world_n for_o than_o it_o must_v fall_v out_o that_o his_o promise_n be_v vain_a &_o of_o none_o effect_n and_o beside_o when_o a_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o be_v leave_v alone_o he_o become_v so_o

for_o they_o have_v kill_v thy_o prophet_n 19.10_o 1._o king_n 19.10_o have_v set_v up_o their_o idol_n in_o every_o place_n and_o myself_o be_o leave_v alone_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v like_o a_o poor_a dismay_a man_n be_v ready_a to_o cast_v himself_o headlong_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o despair_n but_o what_o god_n comfort_v he_o and_o say_v unto_o he_o 19.18_o 1._o king_n 19.18_o that_o he_o have_v as_o yet_o reserve_v unto_o himself_o seven_o thousand_o that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o great_a number_n that_o have_v not_o bow_v their_o knee_n unto_o bawl_v so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v our_o faith_n shall_v be_v marvellous_o shake_v yea_o utter_o overthrow_v if_o we_o shall_v be_v persuade_v of_o this_o that_o god_n have_v so_o forsake_v the_o world_n as_o that_o he_o have_v no_o church_n leave_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o judge_v by_o the_o outward_a sight_n of_o the_o eye_n whether_o there_o be_v a_o church_n or_o no_o but_o let_v we_o rather_o revounce_v our_o own_o insight_n because_o we_o be_v advertise_v that_o god_n will_v many_o time_n have_v a_o little_a seed_n of_o it_o lie_v hide_v as_o the_o grain_n of_o corn_n be_v not_o see_v so_o long_o as_o there_o lie_v a_o great_a heap_n of_o straw_n upon_o it_o because_o the_o grain_n be_v small_a and_o few_o which_o be_v cover_v with_o it_o even_o so_o it_o seem_v sometime_o that_o all_o the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v here_o quite_o and_o clean_o root_v out_o from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n howbeit_o the_o lord_n have_v incomprehensible_a mean_n for_o the_o uphold_v of_o his_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v continual_o worship_v and_o serve_v not_o that_o he_o do_v look_v for_o a_o great_a glorious_a and_o pompous_a multitude_n in_o his_o church_n but_o it_o may_v suffice_v we_o that_o he_o know_v who_o be_v he_o and_o so_o let_v we_o depart_v from_o all_o iniquity_n that_o we_o may_v call_v aloud_o upon_o his_o name_n &_o join_v ourselves_o with_o our_o brethren_n although_o we_o know_v they_o not_o for_o that_o depend_v upon_o god_n his_o adoption_n when_o as_o he_o witness_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o faithful_a one_o neither_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o we_o know_v they_o wherefore_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v disperse_v throughout_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n &_o have_v no_o reputation_n before_o man_n but_o be_v contemtable_a and_o despise_a person_n and_o to_o be_v short_a to_o be_v no_o more_o know_v &_o esteem_v of_o then_o if_o they_o lie_v tread_v under_o man_n foot_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o &_o yet_o we_o be_v to_o gather_v from_o this_o place_n some_o exhortation_n which_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v the_o multitude_n for_o melchisedech_n may_v have_v fall_v to_o idolatry_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n if_o he_o have_v have_v a_o regard_n to_o that_o which_o they_o do_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o all_o there_o about_o but_o a_o very_a pollution_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n &_o yet_o he_o continue_v in_o that_o which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v good_a &_o just_a according_a to_o that_o which_o god_n have_v instruct_v he_o in_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o law_n at_o that_o time_n write_v but_o god_n have_v give_v he_o so_o much_o knowledge_n as_o well_o by_o noah_n as_o by_o sem_fw-mi as_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n now_o if_o so_o small_a a_o instruction_n as_o melchisedech_n have_v constant_o establish_v he_o in_o pure_a religion_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o excuse_v ourselves_o when_o as_o god_n daily_o represent_v himself_o unto_o our_o ear_n that_o he_o have_v set_v down_o a_o law_n which_o show_v we_o how_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v &_o serve_v have_v give_v we_o prophet_n to_o explain_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o have_v give_v we_o also_o a_o gospel_n which_o be_v a_o trumpet_n to_o sound_v not_o only_o into_o our_o ear_n but_o also_o thorough_o to_o pierce_v both_o our_o thought_n &_o affection_n when_o god_n then_o have_v so_o many_o mean_n to_o keep_v we_o within_o compass_n to_o serve_v he_o pure_o &_o sincere_o if_o we_o they_o decline_v from_o the_o same_o &_o be_v transport_v away_o by_o man_n &_o under_o a_o colour_n that_o we_o see_v such_o

we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v humility_n that_o lead_v we_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o bring_v us._n now_o humility_n be_v not_o such_o a_o manner_n of_o thing_n as_o many_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v as_o to_o show_v a_o godly_a and_o humble_a countenance_n before_o god_n but_o we_o must_v be_v so_o bare_a and_o empty_a of_o any_o good_a thing_n in_o we_o as_o that_o we_o must_v cast_v ourselves_o down_o at_o his_o foot_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o so_o without_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o of_o ourselves_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o come_v unto_o his_o mercy_n which_o be_v by_o the_o feel_n &_o apprehend_v of_o our_o misery_n and_o these_o two_o thing_n can_v be_v separate_v for_o why_o be_v it_o that_o god_n take_v pity_n upon_o we_o and_o help_v we_o forsooth_o it_o be_v because_o he_o behold_v our_o misery_n and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o stir_v and_o move_v he_o to_o mercy_n and_o see_v also_o why_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o our_o salvation_n say_v 2.8.10_o ephe._n 2.8.10_o you_o be_v not_o save_v as_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n for_o you_o be_v his_o workmanship_n because_o he_o have_v create_v you_o in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o he_o have_v before_o ordain_v that_o you_o shall_v ●oo_o they_o here_o saint_n paul_n exclude_v whatsoever_o good_a opinion_n we_o can_v conceive_v of_o our_o own_o power_n when_o as_o he_o say_v go_v to_o now_o if_o you_o shall_v attribute_v any_o part_n of_o commendation_n of_o salvation_n unto_o yourselves_o and_o yet_o think_v that_o you_o have_v not_o attein_v thereunto_o as_o of_o yourselves_o but_o that_o you_o have_v be_v holpen_v therein_o see_v how_o this_o gear_n may_v or_o can_v stand_v together_o for_o you_o be_v create_v mortal_a man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v sinner_n and_o therefore_o all_o accurse_a banish_a and_o estrange_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o who_o be_v all_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v conclude_v that_o you_o be_v all_o as_o it_o be_v dead_a wherefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o new_a and_o a_o second_o amendment_n and_o reparation_n before_o you_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o when_o you_o have_v be_v regenerate_v in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o same_o then_o be_v call_v a_o new_a creation_n and_o therefore_o every_o one_o of_o you_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n when_o as_o he_o have_v form_v and_o call_v you_o unto_o himself_o without_o any_o disposition_n thereunto_o for_o your_o own_o part_n but_o god_n have_v prepare_v good_a work_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v thus_o we_o may_v very_o well_o conclude_v that_o our_o salvation_n come_v no_o whit_n of_o ourselves_o no_o not_o one_o drop_n of_o it_o but_o be_v the_o only_a mere_a gift_n of_o god_n procede_v of_o his_o own_o liberality_n thus_o than_o we_o see_v as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n that_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n at_o god_n his_o hand_n we_o must_v true_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o what_o we_o be_v how_o miserable_a our_o estate_n &_o condition_n be_v &_o that_o we_o be_v all_o but_o castaway_n now_o when_o i_o speak_v thus_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o our_o knowledge_n must_v be_v a_o rove_a understanding_n swim_v in_o our_o brain_n but_o our_o heart_n must_v by_o it_o be_v deadly_a wound_v that_o we_o may_v feel_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n so_o to_o terrify_v we_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v bring_v almost_o into_o utter_a despair_n for_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v what_o a_o benefit_n meat_n &_o drink_n be_v except_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n for_o if_o we_o be_v stuff_v &_o full_a we_o will_v continue_v so_o we_o will_v never_o seek_v after_o crumb_n nor_o crust_n as_o we_o say_v but_o it_o be_v hunger_n that_o drive_v we_o to_o hunt_v after_o victual_n for_o when_o we_o be_v sick_a we_o seek_v for_o remedy_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v so_o senseless_a as_o that_o he_o feel_v no_o kind_n of_o grief_n he_o will_v die_v a_o hundred_o time_n before_o he_o will_v call_v for_o help_v or_o yet_o once_o desire_v it_o wherefore_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v we_o must_v be_v so_o touch_v with_o our_o misery_n as_o if_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o deed_n &_o as_o if_o we_o feel_v that_o death_n whereof_o the_o scripture_n speak_v that_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o that_o life_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o scripture_n so_o often_o reprove_v and_o as_o it_o be_v condemn_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n for_o god_n take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o deal_v with_o we_o after_o this_o manner_n but_o because_o he_o know_v the_o necessity_n thereof_o so_o then_o look_v how_o many_o threaten_n sentence_n of_o condemnation_n of_o reproof_n and_o such_o like_a be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o be_v even_o so_o many_o mallette_n to_o knock_v we_o on_o the_o head_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o that_o humility_n which_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v violent_o in_o such_o sort_n mortify_v us._n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o strain_n moreover_o we_o must_v come_v to_o a_o large_a account_n and_o reckon_v of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v already_o speak_v which_o be_v that_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o have_v behold_v our_o misery_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v lull_v in_o a_o dead_a sleep_n in_o our_o hypocrisy_n &_o become_v very_o careless_a and_o this_o security_n will_v cause_v to_o contemn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o by_o little_a and_o little_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o exclude_v from_o it_o now_o god_n have_v set_v before_o we_o our_o condemation_n namely_o in_o the_o law_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n all_o the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o they_o and_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v profitable_a among_o other_o thing_n it_o lay_v out_o the_o reproof_n and_o beside_o we_o know_v what_o the_o gospel_n teach_v 4.17_o 2._o tim._n 3.16_o mat._n 3.2_o &_o 4.17_o repent_v and_o amend_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v at_o hand_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n dispose_v his_o elect_a to_o receive_v the_o free_a righteousness_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o they_o by_o his_o son_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v repent_v and_o amend_v and_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n hereof_o forsooth_o there_o must_v be_v such_o a_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n in_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n as_o that_o we_o must_v condemn_v ourselves_o for_o our_o wickedness_n and_o be_v revenge_v of_o

withal_o in_o all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n nevertheless_o god_n have_v especial_o or_o dein_v his_o law_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v why_o saint_n paul_n say_v 7._o rome_n

the_o wine_n will_v be_v all_o mar_v even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o all_o our_o work_n for_o so_o long_o as_o god_n guide_v and_o gonern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n they_o be_v good_a holy_a &_o

that_o very_o even_o by_o his_o grace_n in_o pardon_v the_o fault_n &_o imperfection_n which_o be_v in_o they_o wherefore_o even_o as_o there_o be_v diversity_n between_o a_o faithful_a man_n &_o

that_o this_o be_v but_o conjectural_a for_o they_o can_v choose_v but_o see_v that_o if_o we_o examine_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v come_v short_a in_o the_o end_n neither_o can_v we_o have_v that_o which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o make_n up_o of_o our_o account_n before_o god_n to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v discharge_v but_o over_o and_o beside_o this_o conjecture_n they_o have_v another_o

now_o they_o never_o think_v that_o faith_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o hope_n and_o that_o hope_n extend_v itself_o both_o in_o life_n &_o death_n and_o we_o see_v also_o beside_o that_o there_o

by_o reason_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o forsake_v his_o native_a country_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o live_v in_o a_o strange_a and_o a_o unknowen_a place_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o his_o mind_n be_v altogether_o occupy_v about_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n so_o then_o we_o be_v here_o to_o note_v that_o although_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n be_v here_o call_v his_o inheritance_n as_o also_o god_n house_n and_o rest_a place_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o as_o a_o pawn_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o but_o as_o a_o earnest_a penny_n for_o a_o pawn_n import_v as_o
