such_o as_o be_v so_o fiery_a at_o the_o first_o dash_n that_o reason_n can_v neither_o appease_v they_o nor_o stay_v they_o therefore_o when_o man_n be_v so_o hot_a and_o fling_v themselves_o at_o all_o adventure_n thing_n must_v be_v allege_v agreeable_a to_o their_o nature_n to_o make_v they_o ashamed_a that_o they_o may_v be_v draw_v too_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n s._n paul_n then_o

although_o we_o may_v have_v advantage_n by_o gyve_v head_n to_o our_o passion_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o a_o provoke_a of_o god_n wrath_n see_v we_o can_v not_o yield_v so_o far_o unto_o he_o as_o to_o

let_v we_o fight_v so_o much_o the_o more_o manful_o till_o god_n have_v get_v the_o maysterie_n and_o we_o renounce_v ourselves_o as_o i_o say_v forsake_v all_o our_o own_o nature_n too_o the_o end_n

we_o mind_n to_o restrain_v the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n from_o reign_v in_o we_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n furthermore_o the_o battle_n be_v right_a hard_a so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o

shall_v not_o yet_o atteyne_v too_o perfection_n because_o our_o own_o nature_n will_v always_o lead_v we_o untoo_o evil_n but_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a we_o must_v mark_v that_o by_o the_o

which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o his_o obedience_n &_o correct_v our_o vice_n &_o all_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o word_n and_o the_o term_n of_o man_n by_o the_o

the_o egyptian_n 6._o they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n you_o see_v then_o that_o under_o this_o word_n flesh_n man_n be_v teach_v their_o own_o frailty_n and_o do_v to_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v but_o earth_n and_o dust_n 3_o worm_n and_o worm_n meat_n and_o this_o serve_v first_o of_o all_o to_o humble_v they_o but_o when_o flesh_n be_v match_v ageyn_v spirit_n then_o be_v not_o man_n take_v in_o their_o first_o state_n as_o they_o be_v create_v of_o god_n but_o it_o serve_v too_o show_v that_o they_o be_v corrupt_v and_o full_a of_o infection_n and_o wickedness_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o taste_n at_o all_o in_o they_o to_o discern_v aright_o but_o they_o be_v utter_o pervert_v in_o all_o their_o lust_n you_o see_v then_o that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o stark_o corruption_n &_o that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o enmity_n against_o god_n and_o separate_v we_o from_o his_o rightuousnesse_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n or_o mind_n be_v oftentimes_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o spirit_n for_o the_o word_n spirit_n or_o ghost_n betoken_v a_o invisible_a substance_n which_o can_v

when_o we_o be_v change_v and_o abace_v and_o god_n image_n deface_v in_o we_o by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n now_o then_o there_o have_v need_v to_o be_v some_o renewment_n thereof_o and_o that_o

so_o as_o we_o conceive_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o by_o nature_n for_o faith_n be_v the_o special_a gift_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o conceive_v

and_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v without_o excuse_n and_o that_o although_o they_o be_v give_v untoo_o naughtiness_n yet_o they_o ought_v too_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o it_o and_o what_o be_v that_o true_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o in_o ourselves_o but_o god_n will_v supply_v in_o that_o behalf_n by_o give_v we_o grace_n to_o fight_v in_o such_o wise_n against_o all_o our_o lust_n

therefore_o let_v we_o hie_v we_o to_o he_o as_o disease_a folk_n to_o a_o physician_n to_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o excuse_n that_o man_n will_v bring_v and_o be_v wont_v

down_o into_o the_o world_n nor_o what_o grace_n he_o impart_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o gospel_n they_o know_v not_o neither_o wat_fw-mi faith_n nor_o what_o prayer_n be_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v leave_n to_o do_v what_o they_o list_v and_o that_o folk_n shall_v lay_v the_o bridle_n loose_a in_o their_o neck_n of_o these_o wild_a christian_n there_o be_v tootoo_o many_o now_o a_o day_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n be_v blame_v by_o their_o mean_n for_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n upbrayde_v we_o with_o all_o such_o as_o be_v loose_a liver_n now_o a_o day_n and_o say_v that_o the_o same_o spring_v of_o our_o preach_n for_o this_o cause_n s._n paul_n have_v answer_v his_o adversary_n and_o also_o arm_v and_o fence_v we_o to_o answer_v they_o to_o the_o end_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o railer_n and_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v false_o slander_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a sort_n say_v that_o we_o give_v a_o inordinate_a liberty_n to_o all_o such_o as_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o do_v lewd_o let_v we_o look_v back_o to_o s._n paul_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o liberty_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o serve_v for_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o namely_o through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o death_n and_o

therefore_o let_v they_o understande_v that_o first_o of_o all_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o become_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v we_o then_o eat_v quiet_o without_o make_v any_o 〈…〉_o will_v we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o 〈…〉_o which_o do_v now_o a_o day_n vex_v the_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a sort_n in_o the_o papacy_n let_v we_o understande_v what_o jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o let_v we_o be_v thorough_o he_o let_v he_o govern_v we_o and_o let_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n show_v their_o power_n and_o effectualness_n in_o our_o whole_a life_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o bind_v in_o this_o text_n and_o here_o s._n paul_n show_v again_o that_o the_o true_a perfection_n of_o god_n child_n consist_v in_o abace_v themselves_o so_o as_o they_o follow_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o affection_n for_o we_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v then_o can_v we_o not_o be_v but_o rebel_n against_o god_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n till_o we_o have_v kill_v all_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n that_o our_o life_n shall_v never_o be_v frame_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n except_o we_o be_v utter_o change_v both_o in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n second_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v but_o by_o communicate_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o use_v this_o word_n crucify_a for_o thereby_o he_o declare_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o cast_v off_o from_o he_o and_o not_o knit_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n our_o nature_n will_v always_o bring_v forth_o her_o own_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o naughtiness_n and_o vice_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o first_o of_o all_o freewill_n be_v beat_v down_o second_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o of_o god_n gift_n nor_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v all_o draw_v of_o his_o fullness_n for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n that_o be_v able_a too_o suffice_v us._n and_o if_o we_o seek_v never_o so_o far_o about_o elsewhere_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o drythe_o and_o we_o shall_v continue_v a_o thirst_n still_o and_o if_o we_o think_v too_o fill_v ourselves_o it_o will_v be_v but_o wyndinesse_n and_o misween_a wherewith_o we_o shall_v burst_v and_o yet_o not_o gather_v any_o good_a nourishment_n or_o substance_n now_o heereuppon_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o shall_v also_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a declaration_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o too_o have_v avouch_v that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v set_v free_a but_o by_o crucify_a all_o our_o wicked_a lust_n how_o be_v it_o for_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈…〉_o hypocrisy_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o do_v always_o find_v ●●a●ting_v hole_n and_o 〈…〉_o man_n will_v be_v esteem_v as_o a_o angel_n though_o his_o life_n be_v out_o of_o order_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n intend_v for_o a_o confirmation_n too_o add_v this_o say_n ▪_o that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v therewithal_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o man_n too_o protest_v themselves_o to_o have_v god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o they_o must_v show_v that_o he_o be_v there_o for_o he_o be_v not_o idle_a therefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v discern_v whether_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o or_o no_o he_o must_v come_v to_o our_o work_n and_o to_o our_o life_n and_o according_a as_o our_o conversation_n be_v so_o may_v he_o see_v what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o be_v within_o we_o and_o give_v judgement_n by_o our_o outward_a work_n that_o be_v apparent_a as_o for_o example_n if_o one_o will_v bear_v i_o in_o hand_n that_o a_o block_n be_v a_o live_a a_o man_n too_o see_v too_o it_o stir_v neither_o head_n nor_o foot_n thrust_v at_o it_o and_o shove_v at_o it_o and_o yet_o there_o appear_v no_o life_n in_o it_o and_o shall_v he_o then_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o piece_n of_o stone_n remove_v from_o place_n too_o place_n or_o have_v any_o power_n in_o it_o or_o be_v a_o creature_n that_o have_v a_o soul_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o those_o that_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v spiritual_a for_o although_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o enemy_n of_o god_n be_v alive_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n because_o their_o soul_n be_v utter_o corrupt_v but_o we_o live_v to_o godward_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o if_o this_o grace_n be_v in_o we_o it_o can_v not_o be_v idle_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o conversation_n will_v show_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o no._n the_o word_n walk_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o our_o life_n be_v mention_v nevertheless_o here_o be_v not_o only_o walk_v the_o word_n that_o s._n paul_n use_v import_v more_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o walk_v orderly_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o we_o must_v frame_v ourselves_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v conformable_a too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o our_o life_n must_v be_v so_o well_o rule_v as_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o god_n govern_v we_o in_o deed_n and_o that_o

therefore_o at_o a_o word_n this_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v know_v now_o to_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n mean_v here_o to_o bewray_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o all_o such_o as_o make_v fair_a

that_o we_o have_v suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n wherefore_o if_o we_o purpose_v that_o god_n shall_v allow_v of_o our_o seruis_fw-la let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v constant_a firm_a and_o fast_o settle_v that_o we_o never_o swerve_v aside_o from_o our_o call_n but_o continue_v and_o go_v forward_o in_o it_o more_o and_o more_o howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o this_o upbraid_v be_v very_o rigorous_a s._n paul_n mitigate_v it_o say_v if_o at_o leastwize_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a wherein_o he_o give_v the_o galathians_n a_o inkling_n that_o he_o hope_v much_o better_a of_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o be_v start_v aside_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o endure_v long_o but_o that_o upon_o warning_n and_o exhortation_n they_o will_v return_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o in_o this_o text_n we_o see_v that_o when_o we_o be_v rebuke_v by_o god_n spirit_n it_o be_v not_o too_o make_v we_o fumish_a nor_o to_o drive_v we_o too_o such_o a_o

so_o dismay_v as_o too_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o brier_n but_o after_o he_o have_v show_v we_o our_o fault_n he_o call_v we_o always_o home_o again_o too_o he_o and_o call_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a too_o receyve_v and_o take_v we_o too_o mercy_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o true_a lowliness_n to_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n and_o too_o acknowledge_v they_o unfayned_o and_o free_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n be_v well_o advize_v that_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v do_v we_o

as_o too_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v blame_v after_o as_o we_o have_v need_n and_o when_o rebuking_n shall_v seem_v somewhat_o with_o the_o sharp_a &_o prick_v to_o we_o let_v we_o always_o

all_o our_o fault_n afterward_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v say_v that_o although_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n have_v abolish_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o not_o withstand_v he_o on_o his_o part_n be_v loath_a they_o shall_v perish_v &_o will_v fain_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v and_o thereunto_o he_o rebuke_v we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o continue_v unamendable_a therefore_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v so_o far_o oversee_v as_o to_o stray_v from_o the_o right_a way_n yet_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o back_o too_o he_o and_o give_v we_o a_o mean_a to_o return_v again_o if_o our_o fault_n be_v not_o match_v with_o wilfulness_n now_o after_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v again_o that_o god_n have_v deal_v forth_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n among_o the_o galathians_n yea_o &_o that_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o somuch_o that_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o hold_v they_o to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v without_o turn_v aside_o or_o wander_a away_o from_o it_o whereas_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o god_n spirit_n he_o meen_v not_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v treat_v of_o this_o morning_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o use_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o reason_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o the_o sequel_n namely_o that_o beside_o god_n show_v of_o himself_o general_o too_o all_o the_o galathians_n that_o he_o have_v adopt_v they_o for_o his_o child_n he_o have_v also_o ordain_v prophet_n among_o they_o and_o man_n endue_v some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_a &_o othersome_a with_o such_o other_o like_a but_o all_o this_o come_v to_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o their_o turn_n back_o again_o to_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v a_o bury_n of_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o how_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n communicate_v his_o spirit_n to_o all_o his_fw-la for_o without_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v christian_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o our_o nature_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o reform_v we_o &_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o may_v become_v as_o it_o be_v new_a creature_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n do_v make_v we_o general_o all_o parttaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o he_o enlighten_v with_o faith_n to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o cheer_v up_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o &_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o obedient_o to_o his_o will_n &_o to_o be_v short_a so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v common_a to_o
when_v all_o come_v to_o all_o it_o be_v but_o flat_a mockery_n &_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o wilful_o corrupt_v god_n word_n for_o there_o be_v such_o gross_a and_o beastly_a ignorance_n in_o they_o that_o very_a child_n may_v just_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n for_o it_o so_o then_o the_o papist_n be_v a_o fair_a look_a glass_n too_o we_o at_o this_o day_n for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o in_o s._n paul_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o many_o of_o they_o vaunt_v themselves_o to_o be_v god_n child_n and_o householdmeynie_a of_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v but_o bastard_n slip_v and_o of_o a_o corrupt_a seed_n because_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o cleave_v thorough_o to_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n which_o be_v able_a too_o beget_v they_o again_o into_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n they_o be_v so_o give_v to_o their_o own_o mingling_n that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o more_o soundness_n in_o they_o but_o we_o need_v not_o to_o go_v any_o further_a too_o show_v that_o the_o matter_n which_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o here_o be_v verify_v too_o much_o of_o the_o popedom_n for_o where_o abouts_o be_v our_o great_a strife_n now_o adays_o but_o for_o freewill_n for_o merit_n for_o satisfaction_n and_o for_o such_o other_o thing_n the_o papist_n say_v that_o we_o be_v able_a by_o our_o own_o freewill_n to_o purchase_v grace_n at_o god_n hand_n not_o that_o we_o need_v not_o too_o be_v aid_v and_o succour_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o because_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a match_v together_o say_v they_o between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o as_o god_n work_v one_o piece_n and_o we_o another_o thus_o do_v they_o make_v we_o god_n marrow_n and_o like_a as_o our_o strength_n will_v be_v to_o weak_a if_o it_o be_v not_o succour_v on_o god_n behalf_n so_o shall_v god_n grace_v say_v they_o be_v unavaylable_a if_o we_o make_v it_o not_o of_o force_n by_o our_o own_o move_v thereunto_o and_o hereupon_o again_o they_o forge_v &_o build_v their_o merit_n there_o be_v none_o other_o talk_n among_o they_o but_o of_o purchace_v the_o realm_n of_o paradise_n by_o make_v god_n behold_v too_o they_o &_o then_o step_v forth_o their_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o ransom_n all_o the_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o the_o papist_n prate_n and_o jangle_n thereupon_o they_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n too_o say_v that_o god_n law_n be_v impossible_a and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o perform_v it_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o may_v full_o discharge_v himself_o of_o it_o when_o he_o list_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o they_o too_o prate_v after_o that_o fashyon_n in_o the_o shadow_n but_o

of_o sin_n and_o be_v h●ld_v in_o so_o streyt_n band_n under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o satan_n that_o we_o can_v so_o much_o as_o think_v one_o good_a thought_n of_o well_o do_v but_o go_v forward_o still_o unto_o all_o evil_a like_a as_o if_o a_o ass_n shall_v always_o bear_v his_o yoke_n or_o burden_n with_o he_o and_o yet_o we_o sin_v not_o but_o willing_o but_o how_o soever_o we_o fare_v we_o be_v so_o sape_v in_o sin_n that_o natural_o we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n but_o offend_v god_n and_o therefore_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o enlarge_v we_o and_o set_v we_o at_o liberty_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n moreover_o we_o say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v unpossible_a to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o that_o it_o show_v we_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o end_n to_o condemn_v we_o &_o to_o stop_v our_o mouth_n &_o too_o make_v we_o come_v before_o god_n as_o wretched_a offender_n too_o obtain_v grace_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o the_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o to_o

in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o have_v chozen_v we_o and_o keep_v we_o too_o himself_o even_o from_o our_o moother_n womb_n and_o yet_o be_v this_o no_o let_v but_o that_o he_o have_v also_o

he_o exclude_v all_o that_o ever_o come_v of_o man_n when_o a_o child_n come_v out_o of_o his_o moother_n womb_n what_o bring_v he_o with_o he_o what_o worthiness_n have_v he_o sure_o he_o be_v a_o

which_o deserve_v any_o love_n or_o like_n we_o may_v perceyve_v thereby_o that_o if_o he_o apply_v we_o too_o any_o honourable_a seruis_fw-la afterward_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o own_o

purposely_o of_o his_o birth_n be_v too_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o preparation_n on_o his_o own_o behalf_n when_o god_n draw_v he_o but_o that_o god_n have_v respect_n too_o his_o own_o

that_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n prefer_v of_o we_o before_o those_o who_o he_o leave_v as_o of_o cast_v be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o find_v we_o worthy_a or_o capable_a of_o such_o a_o

37._o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o who_o be_v it_o that_o make_v that_o gift_n it_o be_v not_o every_o man_n offering_n of_o himself_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a motion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v so_o for_o our_o faith_n import_v

lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o to_o he_o that_o have_v buy_v us._n nevertheless_o this_o as_o i_o say_v be_v not_o of_o our_o own_o mere_a motion_n but_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o bow_v we_o thereunto_o and_o why_o so_o even_o because_o we_o be_v his_o afore_o and_o how_o belong_v we_o too_o he_o not_o by_o inheritance_n nor_o by_o any_o title_n that_o we_o can_v allege_v on_o our_o own_o behalf_n but_o only_o because_o he_o choze_v us._n now_o then_o we_o see_v what_o this_o text_n import_v but_o let_v we_o come_v back_o ●oo_o the_o chief_a point_n that_o saint_n paul_n treat_v of_o here_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v discourse_v hitherto_o be_v but_o too_o show_v that_o our_o adoption_n serve_v not_o too_o bereeve_v god_n of_o his_o glory_n which_o thing_n they_o do_v that_o brag_n of_o their_o own_o free_a will_n virtue_n and_o merit_n
there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hellish_a confuzion_n in_o popery_n for_o there_o be_v talk_v enough_o of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o after_o what_o sort_n know_v they_o his_o power_n can_v they_o tell_v too_o what_o end_n he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n his_o father_n and_o what_o benefyte_n he_o bring_v we_o no_o whit_n at_o all_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o every_o man_n seek_v his_o salvation_n in_o himself_o or_o at_o some_o saint_n hand_n of_o his_o own_o forge_n lo_o at_o what_o point_n they_o be_v and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o upon_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o which_o be_v that_o whensoever_o god_n be_v speak_v of_o ●_o the_o very_a sun_n and_o moon_n must_v needs_o be_v darken_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n 16_o and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o that_o must_v not_o be_v thrust_v under_o foot_n too_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v have_v all_o preeminence_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n accept_v any_o honour_n or_o service_n that_o we_o do_v untoo_o he_o until_o we_o be_v subject_a too_o his_o word_n let_v we_o receyve_v the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o let_v nothing_o pluck_v we_o back_o from_o yield_v such_o reverence_n thereunto_o as_o too_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v therein_o this_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o this_o place_n where_o the_o apostle_n be_v term_v flesh_n and_o blood_n ▪_o furthermore_o whereas_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o he_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n too_o see_v peter_n it_o be_v a_o sure_a record_n that_o his_o former_a speak_n of_o his_o go_v intoo_o arabia_n be_v not_o of_o any_o pride_n or_o disdain_n but_o too_o the_o end_n that_o god_n grace_n may_v be_v know_v and_o that_o no_o worldly_a mean_n may_v be_v make_v as_o a_o veil_n too_o keep_v man_n from_o know_v that_o

the_o one_o side_n how_o saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o reserve_v untoo_o god_n his_o due_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o mean_v to_o show_v there_o be_v good_a agreement_n between_o he_o and_o the_o other_o apostle_n and_o even_o so_o must_v we_o do_v for_o in_o many_o man_n there_o be_v always_o two_o evil_a extremity_n too_o be_v find_v in_o that_o behalf_n there_o be_v some_o scoffer_n which_o make_v pretence_n to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v but_o traitor_n to_o god_n full_a of_o poison_n &_o pride_n prefer_v their_o own_o dream_n and_o dotage_n before_o he_o if_o a_o man_n say_v unto_o they_o how_o now_o see_v that_o god_n have_v grant_v grace_n to_o many_o man_n and_o they_o be_v know_v to_o be_v man_n well_o see_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o they_o employ_v themselves_o faithful_o in_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o we_o therefore_o why_o do_v you_o not_o agree_v with_o they_o o_o say_v they_o i_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o any_o man_n live_v upon_o earth_n i_o ground_n myself_o upon_o none_o but_o god_n these_o be_v the_o proud_a and_o stately_a which_o pretend_v to_o have_v

gracious_a gift_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o keep_v the_o measure_n that_o we_o see_v here_o for_o although_o saint_n paul_n have_v on_o the_o one_o side_n declare_v that_o he_o go_v straight_o way_n into_o arabia_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v convert_v too_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v his_o only_a

mean_v to_o be_v in_o unity_n of_o good_a concord_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o be_v desirous_a too_o have_v it_o know_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o his_o mind_n be_v too_o

faith_n when_o we_o be_v so_o link_v together_o &_o that_o god_n call_v not_o any_o one_o man_n alone_o but_o have_v many_o that_o submit_v themselves_o too_o he_o so_o that_o it_o be_v see_v that_o they_o be_v guide_v all_o by_o one_o spirit_n that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n that_o they_o be_o all_o at_o one_o mark_v and_o that_o they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v god_n child_n by_o

that_o he_o be_v right_o link_v with_o the_o apostle_n and_o mean_v not_o too_o separate_v himself_o from_o they_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o manner_n of_o deal_v that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o swerve_v not_o to_o the_o one_o extremity_n or_o the_o other_o but_o there_o be_v some_o so_o lightheaded_a that_o they_o will_v give_v over_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

settle_v than_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a too_o withstand_v all_o the_o alarm_n which_o the_o devil_n our_o mortal_a enemy_n will_v give_v we_o then_o must_v man_n stand_v stout_a to_o their_o

unto_o god_n they_o be_v wretched_a carcase_n full_a of_o rottenness_n but_o when_o they_o dye_v in_o themselves_o they_o live_v untoo_o god_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n saint_n paul_n in_o the_o twelve_o too_o the_o roman_n call_v we_o lyve_a sacrifice_n 1_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v transform_v and_o utter_o gyve_v over_o our_o own_o reason_n and_o our_o own_o will_n too_o yield_v god_n such_o service_n as_o be_v meet_v for_o he_o too_o have_v he_o say_v offer_v up_o yourselves_o as_o lyve_a sacrifice_n so_o then_o in_o the_o law_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o

fashion_n let_v we_o go_v forward_o with_o the_o whole_a process_n we_o see_v that_o without_o faith_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o bond_n to_o knit_v any_o church_n together_o nor_o any_o assurance_n

sure_a of_o the_o promise_n the_o heritage_n must_v needs_o come_v by_o faith_n and_o my_o allege_v hereof_o be_v because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v in_o this_o text_n may_v seem_v darksome_a

we_o know_v that_o the_o great_a number_n perish_v in_o their_o sin_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o why_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n

if_o the_o angel_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v before_o god_n they_o can_v not_o answer_v to_o that_o perfection_n of_o rightuousnesse_n &_o much_o less_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o which_o

or_o how_o we_o may_v come_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o
they_o be_v both_o one_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o but_o in_o this_o text_n the_o word_n faith_n have_v yet_o a_o more_o peculiar_a signification_n which_o be_v the_o revelation_n or_a
