no_o child_n and_o do_v nothing_o but_o of_o servile_a fear_n can_v do_v nothing_o that_o be_v good_a for_o first_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o good_a work_n put_v in_o practice_n the_o tradition_n of_o man_n in_o stead_n of_o god_n 9_o precept_n second_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v be_v do_v to_o a_o wrong_a end_n and_o with_o a_o wrong_a affection_n for_o it_o be_v too_o justify_v themselves_o thereby_o before_o 11._o god_n as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v and_o therefore_o this_o white_a flag_n of_o truce_n my_o son_n be_v not_o put_v out_o to_o they_o because_o they_o have_v break_v the_o condition_n of_o peace_n our_o popish_a merit-monger_n be_v like_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o go_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o centurion_n for_o his_o sick_a servant_n they_o beseech_v he_o instant_o as_o though_o they_o may_v not_o be_v deny_v 5._o and_o they_o tell_v he_o forsooth_o that_o the_o centurion_n be_v worthy_a of_o so_o much_o favour_n as_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v come_v to_o he_o and_o heal_v his_o servant_n for_o proof_n whereof_o they_o allege_v two_o strong_a reason_n like_o our_o papist_n one_o be_v he_o love_v our_o nation_n another_o be_v he_o have_v build_v we_o a_o synagogue_n so_o plead_v our_o papist_n we_o be_v worthy_a o_o lord_n of_o thy_o favour_n we_o have_v deserve_v so_o much_o at_o thy_o hand_n or_o such_o a_o one_o that_o be_v now_o go_v have_v deserve_v so_o much_o as_o that_o thou_o shall_v receive_v his_o soul_n for_o he_o love_v we_o well_o while_o he_o live_v he_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n he_o make_v we_o good_a cheer_n he_o keep_v a_o good_a house_n he_o fill_v our_o belly_n and_o our_o purse_n too_o beside_o that_o he_o have_v build_v we_o a_o stately_a synagogue_n goodly_a church_n and_o chapel_n of_o ease_n he_o mend_v our_o highway_n he_o erect_v such_o a_o college_n such_o a_o friary_n and_o such_o a_o nunnery_n again_o such_o a_o france_n man_n be_v a_o good_a catholic_a lord_n for_o he_o help_v the_o priest_n to_o say_v mass_n he_o give_v his_o consent_n to_o the_o poison_n of_o such_o a_o king_n and_o the_o murder_n of_o such_o another_o he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o dispatch_v all_o christian_n prince_n because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o pope_n religion_n so_o zealous_a a_o catholic_a be_v he_o but_o lord_n he_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o every_o thing_n he_o will_v not_o eat_v a_o bit_n of_o flesh_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o a_o egg_n in_o lent_n or_o upon_o a_o friday_n he_o will_v never_o go_v out_o before_o he_o have_v cross_v himself_o before_o and_o behind_o his_o house_n be_v never_o without_o a_o crucifix_n nor_o his_o window_n without_o a_o picture_n of_o the_o trinity_n a_o number_n of_o good_a work_n more_o he_o do_v which_o the_o tally_n will_v not_o hold_v and_o those_o be_v for_o his_o honest_a neighbour_n which_o will_v give_v any_o thing_n for_o they_o therefore_o lord_n thou_o must_v of_o necessity_n receive_v his_o soul_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a or_o else_o thou_o do_v he_o great_a wrong_n and_o thus_o we_o hear_v how_o papist_n plead_v like_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o centurion_n and_o his_o servant_n but_o what_o say_v the_o centurion_n himself_o o_o lord_n say_v he_o trouble_v not_o thou_o thyself_o for_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a that_o thou_o shall_v enter_v under_o my_o roof_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v myself_o worthy_a to_o come_v unto_o thou_o but_o only_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o my_o servant_n shall_v be_v 6._o whole_a and_o this_o message_n say_v the_o evangelist_n he_o send_v to_o christ_n by_o his_o friend_n as_o if_o they_o which_o plead_v his_o worthiness_n and_o work_n be_v his_o enemy_n and_o not_o his_o friend_n but_o how_o do_v the_o lord_n jesus_n like_v of_o this_o message_n sure_o he_o marvel_v at_o such_o humility_n &_o commend_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o centurion_n even_o by_o the_o name_n of_o greatfaith_o to_o show_v that_o merit-monger_n have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o except_o the_o devil_n faith_n now_o to_o end_v this_o point_n if_o any_o man_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n let_v he_o also_o become_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o live_v as_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n let_v no_o man_n say_v if_o i_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n i_o need_v not_o care_v what_o to_o do_v or_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o many_o be_v god_n be_v merciful_a and_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n what_o need_v we_o fear_v for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n so_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n live_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o 1._o spirit_n on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o thou_o feel_v thyself_o a_o new_a creature_n in_o christ_n and_o transfourm_v into_o the_o likeness_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o faint_v not_o under_o the_o cross_n for_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n will_v bear_v thou_o up_o in_o his_o arm_n plead_v not_o for_o thyself_o by_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o thyself_o but_o appeal_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n and_o say_v lord_n he_o who_o thou_o love_v be_v in_o want_n as_o the_o sister_n of_o lazarus_n 3._o say_v to_o christ_n for_o their_o brother_n lord_n he_o who_o thou_o love_v be_v sick_a and_o claim_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n thy_o heavenly_a father_n in_o his_o son_n christ_n and_o then_o fear_v not_o thy_o sin_n my_o son_n say_v god_n for_o i_o even_o i_o will_v do_v they_o 11._o all_o away_o even_o for_o my_o name_n sake_n and_o for_o my_o son_n sake_n in_o who_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n and_o in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v all_o our_o fear_n turn_v into_o joy_n because_o we_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o christ._n when_o a_o lion_n roar_v upon_o samson_n the_o spirit_n of_o strength_n come_v upon_o samson_n and_o he_o rend_v he_o in_o piece_n 9_o not_o long_o after_o in_o the_o same_o lion_n he_o find_v a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n with_o their_o sting_n but_o therewithal_o he_o find_v a_o honeycomb_n to_o feed_v upon_o so_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n roar_v upon_o we_o and_o think_v to_o have_v devour_v us._n but_o our_o true_a samson_n jesus_n christ_n have_v tear_v he_o in_o piece_n which_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v to_o devour_v us._n now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n which_o be_v as_o a_o lion_n den_n we_o shall_v find_v after_o this_o victory_n not_o a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n as_o samson_n do_v in_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o lion_n but_o a_o swarm_n of_o corruption_n and_o sin_n with_o their_o sting_n like_a prick_v in_o our_o flesh_n to_o humble_v we_o but_o there_o withal_o 7._o we_o shall_v find_v honey_n to_o comfort_v we_o even_o a_o rich_a honeycomb_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o feed_v upon_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n and_o courage_n be_v in_o we_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o strength_n and_o boldness_n be_v in_o samson_n and_o then_o we_o may_v say_v plain_o as_o samson_n say_v in_o a_o riddle_n out_o of_o the_o eater_n come_v meat_n and_o out_o of_o the_o strong_a come_v sweetness_n for_o what_o be_v strong_a than_o a_o lion_n and_o what_o be_v sweet_a than_o hony_n but_o we_o may_v say_v what_o be_v strong_a than_o sin_n and_o what_o be_v sweet_a than_o mercy_n what_o sight_n more_o terrible_a than_o the_o black_a flag_n of_o defiance_n with_o my_o rebel_n the_o colour_n of_o vengeance_n upon_o it_o what_o more_o comfortable_a than_o to_o see_v that_o pull_v in_o and_o the_o white_a flag_n of_o truce_n put_v forth_o with_o my_o son_n the_o word_n of_o mercy_n and_o peace_n upon_o it_o my_o rebel_n be_v go_v my_o son_n be_v come_v in_o the_o steed_n the_o lord_n take_v away_o the_o rebellion_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o grant_v we_o so_o to_o keep_v his_o condition_n of_o peace_n that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o son_n indeed_o and_o find_v peace_n to_o our_o conscience_n for_o evermore_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v once_o bring_v light_a out_o of_o darkness_n so_o our_o heavenly_a father_n have_v wrought_v comfort_n out_o of_o sin_n to_o all_o his_o child_n in_o christ_n jesus_n bless_a 4._o be_v his_o name_n for_o ever_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o these_o word_n my_o son_n as_o proceed_v from_o god_n to_o man_n my_o son_n as_o be_v the_o word_n of_o solomon_n consider_v now_o if_o we_o consider_v they_o as_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o solomon_n something_o more_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o they_o for_o as_o god_n be_v the_o author_n so_o solomon_n be_v
and_o so_o love_o embrace_v be_v this_o he_o who_o he_o salute_v with_o such_o sweet_a kiss_n and_o tear_n of_o joy_n be_v it_o for_o he_o that_o the_o fat_a calf_n be_v kill_v and_o be_v all_o this_o

and_o favour_n or_o how_o shall_v we_o show_v ourselves_o thankful_a for_o such_o kindness_n undeserued_a sure_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n do_v and_o it_o be_v wonderful_a in_o our_o eye_n but_o that_o our_o profit_n may_v increase_v to_o the_o further_a instruction_n of_o our_o judgement_n and_o comfort_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o will_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n set_v down_o certain_a point_n to_o consider_v of_o and_o by_o this_o text_n to_o be_v examine_v first_o we_o will_v consider_v how_o or_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o be_v come_v into_o this_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o how_o we_o be_v come_v by_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o second_o we_o will_v see_v the_o exellencie_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n above_o other_o man_n three_o we_o will_v inquire_v what_o duty_n the_o children-of_a god_n do_v owe_v unto_o god_n their_o heavenly_a father_n whereby_o they_o may_v show_v themselves_o thankful_a for_o such_o favour_n restore_v four_o we_o will_v consider_v why_o the_o lord_n both_o here_o and_o else_o where_o use_v these_o word_n my_o son_n last_o of_o all_o we_o will_v see_v what_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o they_o as_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o solomon_n how_o we_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n if_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n than_o god_n be_v our_o father_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v our_o mother_n the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v our_o brother_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v our_o inheritance_n this_o purchase_n the_o father_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o the_o son_n have_v buy_v it_o for_o we_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v seal_v unto_o us._n of_o this_o covenant_n god_n be_v the_o author_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v the_o purchaser_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o

so_o the_o first_o cause_n thereof_o be_v the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o the_o father_n so_o say_v the_o son_n fear_v not_o little_a flock_n it_o be_v your_o father_n pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n 32._o of_o the_o son_n so_o say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n my_o sheep_n hear_v my_o

for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a as_o papist_n teach_v for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a than_o these_o to_o have_v it_o of_o ourselves_o and_o to_o be_v free_o give_v of_o god_n the_o
