like_o a_o boy_n of_o a_o sprack_n wit_n that_o want_v but_o a_o good_a master_n to_o instruct_v he_o or_o a_o fair_a white_a paper_n that_o need_v nothing_o but_o a_o writing_n to_o be_v set_v in_o

the_o commandment_n of_o god_n nor_o be_v obedient_a unto_o they_o sure_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a in_o his_o sin_n and_o trespass_n as_o paul_n do_v observe_v of_o the_o ephesian_n

may_v behold_v the_o great_a difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o godly_a for_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v abhor_v the_o law_n of_o god_n say_v come_v let_v we_o break_v their_o band_n and_o cast_v their_o cord_n behind_o we_o so_o the_o godly_a do_v love_v the_o law_n of_o god_n say_v come_v and_o let_v we_o go_v up_o to_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o the_o house_n of_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n and_o he_o will_v teach_v we_o his_o way_n and_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o his_o path_n mica_n 4.2_o and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v these_o first_o because_o they_o see_v they_o come_v from_o god_n their_o sweet_a saviour_n and_o do_v tend_v to_o their_o eternal_a good_a for_o we_o can_v but_o love_v that_o which_o do_v come_v from_o he_o who_o we_o love_v best_a and_o of_o who_o we_o be_v love_v most_o especial_o when_o we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v send_v we_o nothing_o which_o be_v hurtful_a but_o good_a as_o we_o judge_v of_o god_n and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o own_o word_n in_o rom._n 8.29_o second_o because_o they_o know_v that_o the_o curse_n thereof_o shall_v never_o take_v hold_n of_o they_o in_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o they_o three_o because_o they_o be_v make_v easy_a and_o pleasant_a unto_o they_o as_o by_o use_n and_o custom_n they_o exercise_v themselves_o therein_o day_n and_o night_n so_o chief_o by_o the_o regeneration_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n who_o do_v assist_v they_o and_o make_v they_o powerful_a unto_o good_a work_n last_o because_o they_o bring_v with_o they_o great_a reward_n and_o honour_n at_o the_o last_o even_o joy_n that_o be_v unspeakable_a and_o riches_n without_o all_o end_n for_o number_n and_o continuance_n for_o as_o this_o make_v jacob_n to_o serve_v seven_o year_n for_o rahel_n and_o moses_n to_o leave_v pharaoh_n court_n and_o to_o endure_v much_o trouble_n in_o the_o wilderness_n even_o the_o reward_n that_o they_o do_v look_v

collect_v out_o of_o the_o text_n be_v this_o doct._n that_o when_o man_n do_v resist_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o oppose_v themselves_o against_o the_o same_o then_o do_v they_o rebel_v against_o god_n himself_o and_o become_v traitor_n unto_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o traitor_n to_o his_o prince_n who_o do_v altogether_o set_v himself_o against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o prince_n and_o will_v

will_v but_o touch_v this_o point_n and_o end_n reason_n because_o his_o law_n be_v but_o the_o signification_n of_o his_o will_n and_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o pleasure_n unto_o

do_v count_v himself_o a_o rebel_n and_o a_o trey_n tor_z against_o his_o god_n yet_o all_o of_o we_o be_v such_o for_o we_o break_v his_o commandment_n still_o and_o will_v not_o be_v rule_v by_o

in_o the_o commandment_n of_o our_o god_n oh_o belove_a brethren_n how_o careful_a shall_v we_o be_v both_o to_o know_v the_o law_n of_o our_o god_n and_o also_o to_o keep_v they_o consider_v that_o

and_o to_o no_o purpose_n the_o other_o be_v to_o declare_v that_o those_o that_o do_v make_v the_o opposition_n or_o resistance_n be_v in_o most_o woeful_a and_o wretched_a case_n and_o such_o as_o can_v escape_v most_o fearful_a and_o unrecoverable_a judgement_n unless_o they_o do_v in_o time_n prevent_v the_o same_o by_o true_a and_o hearty_a repentance_n or_o amendment_n of_o life_n in_o

be_v to_o stand_v upon_o the_o three_o former_a alone_a the_o prophet_n go_v about_o to_o describe_v the_o lord_n even_o the_o father_n in_o the_o godhead_n or_o the_o first_o person_n in_o the_o

themselves_o and_o sit_v in_o council_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o anoint_v doctr._n we_o collect_v this_o doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v counsel_n and_o parliament_n hold_v as_o well_o against_o the_o lord_n as_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o clean_o contrary_a unto_o his_o truth_n as_o for_o his_o truth_n this_o we_o may_v see_v by_o those_o counsel_n which_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o first_o in_o the_o day_n of_o omri_n when_o cruel_a and_o wicked_a statute_n be_v make_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o people_n as_o may_v be_v gather_v

counsel_n which_o be_v hold_v since_o that_o time_n until_o our_o day_n as_o by_o the_o council_n which_o be_v hold_v at_o antioch_n when_o athanasius_n be_v condemn_v and_o the_o arrian_n heresy_n

command_v and_o establish_v by_o law_n well_o then_o you_o see_v this_o be_v a_o matter_n most_o clear_a and_o evident_a that_o assembly_n and_o counsel_n be_v as_o well_o against_o the_o lord_n as_o for_o the_o lord_n but_o what_o may_v the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v will_v you_o say_v they_o be_v in_o number_n these_o two_o the_o one_o be_v reason_n because_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a have_v their_o assembly_n and_o counsel_n as_o well_o as_o the_o godly_a and_o holy_a one_o as_o all_o chronicle_n do_v manifest_a unto_o us._n for_o as_o no_o man_n do_v gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o

according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o their_o crooked_a and_o perverse_a nature_n from_o whence_o it_o do_v proceed_v the_o other_o be_v because_o the_o godly_a themselves_o who_o have_v also_o their_o counsel_n and_o assembly_n be_v not_o perfect_o holy_a but_o many_o imperfection_n do_v still_o remain_v in_o they_o while_o they_o be_v here_o in_o this_o world_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o that_o say_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 1._o cor._n 13.9_o etc._n etc._n for_o we_o know_v in_o part_n and_o we_o prophesy_v in_o part_n and_o so_o forth_o for_o they_o fail_v through_o these_o their_o imperfection_n sometime_o in_o judgement_n for_o want_v of_o a_o discern_a and_o understand_v spirit_n and_o sometime_o in_o affection_n through_o the_o predominant_a passion_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o rectify_v according_a to_o the_o word_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o now_o and_o then_o they_o err_v and_o miss_v and_o establish_v such_o matter_n as_o have_v no_o sanctity_n or_o holiness_n inherent_a in_o they_o for_o this_o be_v a_o most_o sure_a ground_n both_o in_o divinity_n and_o in_o philosophy_n that_o as_o the_o cause_n be_v such_o be_v the_o effect_n and_o therefore_o see_v the_o cause_n here_o be_v bad_a the_o effect_n can_v be_v good_a but_o be_v bad_a also_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o think_v on_o this_o point_n use_v and_o to_o fasten_v this_o doctrine_n deep_o in_o our_o soul_n which_o now_o we_o have_v handle_v for_o it_o will_v be_v serviceable_a unto_o we_o many_o way_n for_o out_o of_o it_o first_o we_o may_v learn_v contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o rome_n that_o counsel_n may_v err_v and_o be_v deceive_v they_o hold_v they_o can_v and_o for_o this_o wicked_a assertion_n of_o they_o they_o abuse_v certain_a place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n as_o that_o in_o act_n 15.28_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o in_o math._n 28.20_o i_o

spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o can_v they_o not_o err_v a_o silly_a argument_n as_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v at_o their_o commandment_n or_o be_v tie_v to_o place_n and_o person_n or_o be_v present_a do_v lead_v man_n into_o all_o truth_n as_o it_o do_v the_o apostle_n who_o preach_n and_o decree_n be_v now_o and_o be_v then_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o manner_n tush_o counsel_n be_v now_o and_o then_o without_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o consist_v either_o only_a of_o wicked_a person_n or_o of_o a_o mix_a number_n both_o good_a and_o bad_a whereof_o the_o great_a part_n be_v the_o worse_o as_o they_o also_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o rome_n under_o john_n the_o 23_o when_o there_o appear_v a_o great_a owl_n which_o stare_v and_o outface_v the_o pope_n who_o blush_v at_o the_o matter_n and_o fume_a rose_n up_o and_o depart_v and_o when_o other_o whisper_v one_o in_o another_o ear_n say_v that_o the_o spirit_n appear_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o owl_n and_o as_o counsel_n be_v without_o the_o spirit_n often_o so_o when_o they_o nave_n it_o they_o have_v it_o not_o in_o fullness_n or_o perfection_n as_o we_o touch_v before_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o keep_v they_o from_o all_o error_n or_o mistake_n but_o they_o may_v err_v notwithstanding_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v within_o they_o let_v this_o suffice_v for_o the_o confutation_n of_o the_o papist_n in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o may_v here_o learn_v that_o see_v there_o be_v counsel_n and_o parliament_n hold_v as_o well_o against_o the_o lord_n as_o for_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o must_v not_o rash_o approve_v of_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v establish_v &_o decree_v by_o counsel_n and_o parliament_n but_o we_o must_v first_o examine_v they_o whether_o
