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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
all_o the_o faithful_a &_o to_o all_o his_o child_n but_o yet_o do_v he_o grant_v we_o other_o special_a grace_n beside_o as_o when_o he_o give_v we_o man_n that_o teach_v we_o his_o word_n faithful_o or_o that_o govern_v the_o common_a wealth_n wise_o or_o which_o have_v other_o gift_n for_o in_o so_o do_v he_o give_v we_o certain_a token_n that_o he_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o thereby_o also_o he_o bind_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o untoo_o he_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o reason_n that_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o he_o blame_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o galathians_n for_o that_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o it_o come_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o say_v it_o purposely_o because_o man_n will_v always_o make_v fair_a protestation_n enough_o that_o they_o meene_z not_o to_o reject_v god_n grace_n and_o yet_o do_v show_v the_o clean_a contrary_n in_o their_o dooyng_n as_o how_o they_o that_o be_v loath_a too_o suffer_v themselves_o too_o be_v teach_v and_o will_v drive_v away_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n if_o they_o can_v &_o they_o which_o through_o envy_n &_o spitefulnesse_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o abolish_v the_o remembrance_n of_o all_o those_o who_o god_n have_v establish_v too_o maintain_v the_o welfare_n of_o his_o people_n they_o say_v i_o do_v show_v well_o enough_o that_o they_o will_v have_v god_n too_o hold_v himself_o a_o far_o off_o from_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o come_v at_o he_o for_o he_o set_v before_o they_o the_o mean_n to_o come_v too_o he_o and_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o take_v it_o but_o do_v thrust_v it_o from_o they_o so_o then_o whereas_o s._n paul_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o galathians_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o protest_v open_o with_o full_a mouth_n that_o they_o will_v none_o of_o god_n spirit_n or_o that_o they_o hold_v scorn_v of_o his_o gift_n but_o too_o show_v they_o that_o they_o have_v very_o ill_o regard_v god_n utter_v of_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o church_n what_o ought_v we_o then_o too_o gather_v upon_o this_o text._n that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o mean_n too_o come_v untoo_o he_o we_o must_v take_v they_o awoorth_n even_o by_o fashion_v of_o ourselves_o unto_o they_o for_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o we_o and_o we_o wilful_o forget_v what_o be_v tell_v we_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o reject_v god_n and_o turn_v our_o back_n upon_o he_o of_o purpose_n too_o stray_v away_o from_o he_o wherefore_o if_o we_o intend_v that_o god_n

the_o redemption_n that_o be_v purchace_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o then_o although_o the_o say_a promise_n belong_v too_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n peculiar_a too_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o after_o they_o make_v common_a too_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o why_o for_o it_o consist_v in_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o ceremony_n by_o this_o word_n spirit_n saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o deface_v all_o the_o false_a opinion_n of_o those_o deceyver_n which_o mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n toogither_o he_o show_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n namely_o the_o

because_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v abolish_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o promise_n be_v at_o this_o day_n call_v spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o

not_o any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o that_o and_o also_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n for_o the_o law_n say_v he_o be_v give_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o

lineage_n and_o final_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v this_o argument_n of_o saint_n paul_n may_v seem_v very_o weak_a for_o we_o know_v that_o second_o covenante_n do_v always_o repeal_v former_a covenante_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o man_n have_v make_v any_o bargain_n yet_o they_o may_v advyze_v themselves_o better_a and_o thereupon_o change_v their_o mind_n and_o so_o the_o first_o bargain_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o law_n and_o statute_n for_o a_o former_a law_n may_v well_o be_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v by_o a_o second_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o promise_v yea_o and_o solemn_o bind_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o go_v back_o again_o but_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n howbeit_o if_o both_o the_o party_n agree_v too_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v consent_v on_o and_o be_v both_o of_o one_o mind_n then_o may_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v no_o fit_a similitude_n too_o take_v man_n that_o be_v

not_o fall_v too_o scan_v afterward_o how_o to_o shift_v it_o off_o by_o any_o mean_n at_o all_o for_o if_o any_o of_o the_o party_n shall_v do_v against_o the_o former_a covenant_n it_o be_v a_o falsehood_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o among_o man_n because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enregister_v so_o solemn_o aught_o to_o be_v stand_v too_o and_o perform_v without_o any_o gaynsay_n now_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v less_o steadfastness_n in_o god_n than_o in_o man_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n the_o gospel_n therefore_o must_v continue_v unimpeach_v notwithstanding_o that_o the_o law_n come_v in_o after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n this_o will_v be_v still_o dark_a if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v in_o order_n i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o what_o comparison_n s._n paul_n make_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v salvation_n in_o his_o law_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o man_n serve_v he_o and_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v we_o shut_v out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o law_n not_o that_o god_n be_v not_o faithful_a on_o his_o side_n but_o because_o we_o keep_v not_o touch_v with_o he_o in_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o sell_v you_o this_o thing_n so_o you_o bring_v i_o money_n now_o if_o a_o man_n bring_v neither_o money_n nor_o money_n worth_a he_o can_v not_o be_v put_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v for_o the_o condition_n be_v that_o he_o must_v first_o pay_v for_o it_o so_o then_o god_n promise_v we_o the_o heritage_n of_o salvation_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v serve_v he_o but_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o because_o it_o be_v but_o upon_o condition_n that_o we_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fraught_v with_o all_o iniquity_n and_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o uncleanness_n and_o filth_n in_o somuche_o that_o we_o be_v just_o odious_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v in_o the_o law_n howbeit_o god_n receyve_v we_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o he_o offer_v we_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o will_v have_v we_o so_o too_o embrace_v his_o offer_a goodness_n as_o we_o shall_v hold_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o utter_o renounce_v ourselves_o but_o now_o say_v saint_n paul_n let_v we_o see_v whither_o go_v before_o other_o in_o antiquity_n the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n or_o the_o law_n we_o know_v the_o diversity_n that_o be_v betwixt_o they_o then_o if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o auncient_a it_o may_v seem_v that_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v stick_v too_o because_o god_n do_v never_o unsay_v his_o word_n neither_o be_v variable_a but_o if_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v the_o elder_a and_o be_v make_v before_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o god_n repent_v he_o not_o ne_o call_v back_o his_o promise_n at_o that_o time_n ne_o mean_v to_o disannul_v the_o say_a covenant_n for_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o diminish_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o have_v first_o bind_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o promise_v man_n salvation_n without_o their_o desert_n and_o afterward_o intend_v to_o restrain_v it_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v to_o enrich_v himself_o with_o our_o good_a work_n it_o be_v a_o auk_fw-mi thing_n too_o talk_v after_o that_o fashion_n for_o saint_n paul_n show_v
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 whereby_o to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n or_o to_o discern_v it_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n but_o by_o resort_v to_o the_o head_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n depend_v upon_o the_o head_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n upon_o the_o redeemer_n see_v it_o do_v so_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o many_o seed_n but_o that_o we_o must_v come_v too_o one_o man_n if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o spiritual_a people_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o church_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v the_o mark_n that_o we_o must_v begin_v to_o look_v at_o and_o we_o must_v be_v gather_v unto_o

of_o abraham_n as_o he_o discourse_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n 6_o where_o he_o say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o come_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o therefore_o israelites_n and_o why_o for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o promise_a child_n which_o be_v isaac_n 19_o so_o then_o we_o must_v come_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o all_o god_n promise_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o and_o in_o who_o they_o have_v their_o substance_n for_o without_o he_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o soatter_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n to_o the_o colossian_n 20._o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n office_n be_v to_o gather_v together_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v scatter_v as_o well_o in_o heaven_n as_o in_o earth_n and_o that_o without_o he_o all_o shall_v go_v to_o wreck_n but_o now_o we_o see_v more_o clear_o how_o saint_n paul_n meen_n be_v that_o before_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n whereupon_o be_v put_v and_o add_v this_o condition_n that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o that_o be_v contain_v therein_o god_n have_v yield_v a_o record_n of_o his_o

they_o and_o that_o be_v not_o for_o one_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o nation_n as_o the_o scripture_n express_v and_o there_o of_o the_o foundation_n be_v lay_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v already_o in_o the_o time_n of_o abraham_n ordain_v to_o be_v a_o mediator_n to_o make_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o that_o if_o we_o go_v in_o his_o name_n to_o seek_v favour_n it_o be_v ready_a for_o we_o and_o we_o can_v be_v disappoint_v of_o our_o hope_n see_v it_o be_v so_o establish_v there_o be_v no_o

covenant_n which_o be_v so_o ratify_v in_o his_o name_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v endure_v for_o ever_o and_o be_v always_o of_o force_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o may_v come_v free_o before_o god_n and_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n because_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o for_o his_o chidren_n which_o thing_n he_o have_v not_o do_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n and_o because_o we_o be_v make_v one_o with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o way_n like_v as_o we_o must_v reject_v all_o

before_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o glass_n by_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v accurse_v for_o us._n faith_n therefore_o can_v be_v without_o repentance_n for_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o we_o shall_v seek_v our_o welfare_n in_o god_n or_o desire_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n till_o misery_n touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a and_o make_v we_o to_o mislike_v of_o it_o and_o so_o these_o

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

faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o till_o the_o faith_n be_v revel_v here_o the_o word_n law_n and_o faith_n will_v be_v somewhat_o darksome_a if_o

at_o all_o adventure_n but_o accept_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o offer_v us._n then_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n promise_n depend_v not_o upon_o our_o desert_n but_o be_v altogether_o free_o and_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

already_o that_o abraham_n be_v iustify_v because_o he_o believe_v god_n &_o that_o we_o also_o must_v be_v fashion_v like_o to_o his_o example_n in_o that_o behalf_n as_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v his_o child_n to_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n then_o have_v faith_n his_o full_a strength_n at_o all_o time_n and_o there_o never_o be_v any_o other_o mean_n to_o set_v god_n and_o man_n at_o one_o but_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o faith_n revel_v in_o abraham_n time_n because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o very_a pledge_n and_o substance_n thereof_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v intoo_o the_o world_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o be_v iustify_v free_o at_o this_o day_n and_o without_o any_o desert_n of_o our_o own_o and_o why_o be_v that_o for_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n 10_o have_v all_o the_o whole_a and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n our_o believe_v with_o our_o hart_n make_v we_o ryghtuouse_a and_o our_o confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n make_v we_o safe_a but_o now_o have_v abraham_n have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n discover_v unto_o he_o as_o we_o have_v he_o at_o this_o day_n in_o somuch_o that_o he_o be_v as_o good_a as_o crucify_v among_o we_o as_o saint_n paul_n have_v say_v heretofore_o his_o faith_n have_v be_v all_o one_o with_o we_o but_o it_o be_v yet_o after_o a_o sort_n overcover_v that_o be_v to_o say_v although_o abraham_n trust_v in_o jesus_n christ_n hope_v for_o salvation_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o although_o he_o utter_o disinherit_v himself_o know_v that_o there_o be_v virtue_n in_o he_o that_o may_v go_v for_o payment_n before_o god_n yet_o be_v he_o hold_v still_o under_o shadow_n &_o be_v fain_o to_o

saint_n paul_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v namely_o that_o the_o convenient_a time_n of_o the_o revel_a of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v nowadays_o by_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v so_o that_o the_o father_n be_v shut_v up_o under_o the_o law_n so_o therefore_o here_o be_v some_o piece_n of_o difference_n and_o some_o piece_n of_o likeness_n in_o somuch_o that_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o father_n be_v that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v answer_v that_o partly_o it_o differ_v from_o we_o and_o partly_o be_v all_o one_o how_o be_v they_o both_o one_o in_o this_o that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o merciful_a to_o our_o father_n howbeit_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o that_o abraham_n perceive_v how_o it_o stand_v he_o on_o hand_n to_o put_v his_o whole_a trust_n in_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n give_v over_o himself_o and_o so_o his_o believe_v be_v reckon_v to_o he_o for_o rightuousnesse_n as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n so_o then_o their_o take_n be_v all_o one_o with_o we_o in_o that_o they_o ground_v themselves_o upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o boast_v not_o of_o any_o thing_n save_o only_a god_n mercy_n and_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n as_o we_o have_v yet_o be_v there_o also_o a_o diversity_n because_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o have_v sacrifise_n wash_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n till_o the_o come_n

therefore_o let_v we_o first_o mark_n that_o if_o we_o have_v profit_v in_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v believe_v assure_o that_o god_n take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o call_v we_o
