And that onely by that lawe of the spirite of lyfe Christ hath delyuered vs from the lawe of syn death Roma viii a. Neither they perceyue not the deuision betwene the spirite the flesh because y e spirit of Christ is not in theim For it is not possible for any maÌ„ to discerne the operacioÌ„ of that which he knoweth not of Wherfore that was the most principallest parte of our markte meÌ„s doctrine to make the people to beleue that there was no such spirite geuen vnto man wherby he should remaine righteous alway in Christ the Epistle of Ihon. iiii a. Whiche is the most deuelysh error that maye be because it breedeth a a doubte in all them that be infected there with whether the Holy Scripture be true or not beyng written by men hauyng but the very selfe same Spirite of Christ that all other reasonable people hath whiche shall be euer lastingly saued in christ Act. ii f. the first Corin. xii b. Notwithstandyng in outward ministracion the Apostles had power to doo that whiche other membres of the same misticall body of Christ can not doo as in doyng of miracles other thynges Lyke as in a corporal bodye euery membre hathe not one office neither one membre can doo the offece of an other neuertheles euery liuely meÌ„bre of a corporall bodye hath lyfe felyng in them And euen so lywyse euery membre of the misticall body of Christ hath one spirite one intelligence of the worde of God and one purpose of herte in all godlynesse the fyrst to the CorinthiaÌ„s the xii chapiter d. Ephesians the .iiii. a. c. Ezechiell xi d aud xxxvi f. So that aduisedly willyngly they dooe nothyng agaynst the wyll of god the Epistle of Ihon the .iii. chapiter v. Therfore the holy Scriptures in the trewe literall sence is sufficiente for their outwarde instruction in all godly doctrine For within the letter of the New TestameÌ„t there is sufficient instruction concernyng the true Religion of the gospell among all them which beleue it to be true in the literall sence And who so euer dothe not so beleue it beleueth nor knoweth nothynge that is good Luke xvi g. i. Tim. vi a. but may goloke for vnwritten veryties among these vnnedefull ministers oure Marked Preesthod For what lesse deuelish presuÌ„ption is it to thinke the holy scripture vnsufficient or vnperfect in the literal sence for all godly instruction but euen a playne deniall of Christ For Christ is included in the worde and the word in Christ Ihon the fyrst chap. a. Wherefore to thynke the worde insufficient is to thynke Christ is insufficient also the holy gost to be vnperfect which wrought alwayes in them that wrote it by whoÌ„ also it hath ben alwaies preserned shal be to y e worldes ende IhoÌ„ xv c.

For in the flesh of man remayneth no good thyng Roma vii d. Wherfore those thiÌ„ges which men haue in hygh estimacion be abhominable in y e sight of god Luke xvi d. For the naturall man perceiueth not the thinges whiche belong to the spirite of God i. Corin. ii chap. d. Wherfore it is vndoubtedly to be beleued that all people remaynyng in the olde Adam beyng of naturall discressyon whiche be not yet regenerate of God with the spirite of Christ are thus farfurth vntyl this tyme. the subiectes of the deuyll abiectes from God Roma viii b What wisdome or learning soeuer thei haue or what outward lyfe soeuer thei lyue knoweth nothyng of the thynges of god i. Corin. ii c the .iiii. booke of Eâ—dras the .iiii. b. Neuerthelesse reason and learning by the workes froÌ„ the creasion declareth and confesseth God so that they are without excuse that so know God and glorifye hym not as God Romayns the first c. Howbeit no man by any gyft of nature may glorifye God or do any thyng which is godlye for it is God which worketh al goodnesse in vs bothe the wyll and also the deede the Philippians the seconde c. Wherfore the onely trewe perfect remedy is for all reasonable people to seeke of God in prayer the regenacioÌ„ promysed in Christ Esaie liiii d Ihon vi c. Mat. vii chap. b. and Luke the .xi. b. Wherby they shal haue both the true vnderstaÌ„ding of his word also power in spirite to lyue alway accordyng to the trewe professyon of the Ghospell for otherwyse no maÌ„ may be acceptable with God and a partaker of euerlastyng lyfe with Christ Math. xiii c. and Luke viii b. For neither reason nor learniÌ„g can declare the true religion in Christ wherwith onely God is pleased and pacified by Christ wherfore wo be vnto them that are wyse in their owne syght thynke themselues to haue vnderstanding Esay v. e. And precheth or setteth furth anye doctryne of the holye Scriptures without the spirite of god Esai xxx a. And cursed be y e maÌ„ that putteth his trust in man that taketh flesh for his arme he whose hert departeth from the Lorde he shal be lyke the heath that groweth in the wildernes and as for the good thyng that is for to come he shall not see it Ieremy xvii b. But shall be as ignoraunt of the comyng of the glorye of the Gospell as the most parte of the Scribes and Phariseis were of Christ for God hath wrapped all nacions in vnbeliefe that he might only haue mercye on all his electe Romaines the .xi. Chapiter e. for in the tyme of the Law the hygh learned Scribes Pharyseis beyng ignoraunt of God for their vnthankefulnesse sake thought to establysh their owne righteousnesse by the law Romaines the .x. chapiter a. Lyke as our marked men now beyng destitute of the spirit of Christ thynketh to minister the gospel by their outward learnyng for other knowledge thei haue not but doo therin now lyke as the Scrybes and Phariseys dyd which knew not that the lawe was spirituall and that it required more perfectioÌ„ then mai be obserued of any erthly man namely in that that it coÌ„maundeth that we shoulde not lust Exodus xx chap. c.

Receiuyng the benedictions promysed in the lawe Exo xxiii d. Deau vii b. where Moyses sayde vnto them if ye hearken vnto these lawes obserue do them the Lorde thy God wyll loue thee blesse thee and multiply thee and he wyll also blesse the fruit of thy woÌ„be the fruit of thy land thy corne thy wyne thyne oyle the encrease of thy oxeÌ„ the flockê of thy sheepe ce These such other lyke were the benedictioÌ„s promysed of GOD to theym which lyued in the law so that the receiuyng of these benedictioÌ„s declared what righteousnesse was in theim concernyng the law neuertheles the doinge of the thynges of the iawe dyd not helpe them to euerlastynge lyfe for that was geuen before to Abraham his seede by promis Gen. xii a. the .xviii. c. xxii d. so that all people after that tyme which were partakers of euerlastyng lyfe dranke of the same spirituall rocke of faithe which Abraham did i.
