that_o we_o may_v receyve_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o faith_n also_o how_o can_v man_n heart_n love_n god_n so_o long_o as_o he_o fele_v he_o grevous_o dysplease_v with_o we_o and_o

understand_v paul_n a_o humane_a opinion_n of_o the_o hole_n law_n of_o the_o decalogie_n and_o ceremony_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o hypocrite_n do_v think_v that_o extern_a and_o civil_a work_n do_v satysfye_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o that_o sacryficies_n and_o ceremony_n even_o of_o themselves_o do_v iustyfye_v before_o god_n but_o then_o this_o veil_n be_v pluck_v from_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v this_o error_n be_v take_v away_o when_o god_n show_v to_o our_o heart_n our_o unclenne_n and_o greatness_n of_o sin_n there_o first_o we_o see_v ourselves_o to_o be_v far_o from_o the_o fulfylling_n of_o the_o law_n there_o we_o acknowledge_v how_o that_o the_o flesh_n be_v idle_a and_o careless_a fear_v not_o god_n not_o thynk_v very_o that_o god_n regard_v we_o but_o that_o

hear_v thevangell_n and_o forgyvenes_n of_o sin_n begin_v to_o lyfte_v up_o ourselves_o by_o faith_n we_o conceyve_v the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o now_o we_o may_v think_v ryght_o of_o god_n and_o dread_v god_n and_o believe_v he_o &_o c_o by_o this_o appear_v that_o without_o chryste_n and_o without_o the_o holy_a gooste_n the_o law_n can_v not_o be_v do_v wherefore_o we_o profess_v that_o we_o must_v neade_n inchoate_n or_o begin_v to_o fulfil_v unto_o our_o power_n the_o law_n and_o ever_o more_o attempt_n to_o do_v it_o more_o and_o more_o and_o we_o compryse_n here_o both_o two_o aswell_o the_o spiritual_a mocyon_n as_o the_o outward_a good_a work_n wherefore_o the_o adversaries_n do_v false_o calumnyate_v we_o in_o report_v that_o we_o teach_v not_o good_a work_n since_o we_o not_o only_o require_v they_o but_o also_o show_v how_o they_o may_v be_v do_v the_o very_a proufe_v of_o the_o thing_n do_v condemn_v and_o bewray_v the_o ypocrite_n which_o attempt_v by_o their_o own_o power_n to_o do_v the_o law_n that_o they_o can_v not_o perform_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o attempt_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v far_o to_o week_n of_o the_o own_o power_n to_o resy_v the_o devyll_n who_o have_v all_o in_o his_o hold_n as_o captive_n &_o prisoner_n which_o be_v not_o delyver_v by_o faith_n the_o power_n of_o christ_n be_v requisite_a against_o the_o devyll_n and_o therefore_o because_o we_o know_v that_o for_o christ_n we_o be_v herd_n &_o receyve_v a_o promise_n it_o be_v requisyt_v that_o we_o pray_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v govern_v we_o and_o protect_v we_o lest_o we_o fortune_n to_o err_v deceyve_n ourselves_o and_o jest_n by_o wicked_a impulsion_n we_o take_v upon_o we_o any_o thing_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o the_o psalm_n teach_v he_o lead_v captivity_n a_o captive_a he_o give_v gift_n to_o man_n for_o christ_n have_v veynquysh_v the_o devyl_n and_o have_v give_v unto_o we_o a_o promise_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v also_o vaynquyshe_v by_o y●_z socoure_v of_o god_n and_o johan_o say_v 3._o to_o this_o intent_n appear_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v losen_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devyll_n furthermore_o we_o teach_v not_o only_o how_o the_o law_n may_v be_v do_v but_o also_o how_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v may_v please_v god_n which_o be_v not_o because_o we_o satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o because_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v a_o little_a here_o after_o so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o require_v good_a work_n yea_o we_o add_v also_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o severe_a the_o love_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v little_a from_o faith_n for_o by_o christ_n we_o approach_v to_o the_o father_n and_o after_o the_o receit_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n we_o be_v assure_v that_o we_o have_v god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v regard_v of_o god_n we_o make_v invocation_n we_o gyve_v thanks_n we_o fear_v we_o love_v as_o johan_n teach_v in_o the_o first_o epystle_n we_o love_v he_o quoth_v he_o because_o he_o first_o love_v we_o meaning_n because_o he_o give_v for_o we_o his_o son_n and_o remit_v our_o sin_n thus_o he_o signifi_v that_o faith_n go_v before_o and_o love_n follow_v also_o the_o faith_n of_o which_o we_o speak_v ●s_v declare_v in_o penance_n i_o it_o be_v conceyve_v in_o ●eares_n of_o the_o conscience_n which_o fele_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n kindle_v against_o our_o sin_n and_o seek_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o jail_n delivery_n from_o sin_n and_o in_o such_o fear_n and_o other_o affliction_n this_o faith_n owe_v to_o increase_v and_o be_v confirm_v wherefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v in_o they_o which_o live_v after_o their_o flesh_n which_o delyte_n in_o their_o

wrath_n as_o david_n do_v signify_v when_o he_o say_v lord_n do_v not_o rebuke_v i_o in_o thy_o fury_n and_o wrath_n and_o jeremie_n also_o when_o he_o say_v lord_n rebuke_n or_o chastise_v i_o but_o yet_o in_o judgement_n and_o not_o in_o fury_n lest_o thou_o destroy_v i_o and_o bring_v i_o to_o nothing_o here_o truelye_o he_o speak_v of_o most_o bitter_a and_o grevous_a pain_n and_o our_o adversary_n do_v confess_v that_o contrition_n may_v be_v so_o great_a that_o satisfaction_n be_v not_o requisite_a ergo_fw-la contrition_n be_v more_o true_o a_o punyshement_n than_o be_v the_o papistical_a satisfaction_n which_o be_v commen_o enjoin_v secundary_o saint_n &_o holy_a man_n be_v subject_n to_o death_n &_o other_o come_fw-mi affliction_n as_o peter_n say_v it_o be_v time_n to_o

for_o the_o most_o part_n punyshemente_n of_o sin_n yet_o ne_v theles_o in_o good_a man_n they_o have_v a_o neither_o end_n for_o they_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o to_o mortify_v sin_n present_a

more_o acknowledge_v or_o recognise_v the_o diffidence_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o do_v lyfte_fw-mi up_o ourselves_o by_o faith_n so_o grow_v the_o newness_n of_o spirit_n as_o paul_n say_v although_o our_o outward_a man_n be_v destroy_v ye●_n our_o inward_a man_n be_v renew_v from_o day_n to_o day_n also_o esaie_n say_v the_o anguyshe_n in_o which_o they_o do_v cry_n be_v thy_o

god_n accord_v to_o that_o sayenge_a of_o scripture_n the_o prycke_n or_o sting_v of_o death_n be_v sin_n but_o after_o that_o in_o holy_a man_n the_o terror_n of_o sin_n be_v overcome_v by_o faith_n death_n without_o that_o feeling_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v propre_o no_o punyshement_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o key_n do_v neither_o lay_n on_o neither_o remit_v these_o pain_n wherefore_o satisfaction_n do_v not_o apperteyne_a nor_o belong_v to_o these_o pain_n for_o the_o key_n do_v not_o remit_v neither_o death_n neither_o any_o part_n of_o the_o come_fw-mi affliction_n more_o over_o if_o they_o do_v redeem_v these_o pain_n with_o satisfaction_n thaduersary_n why_o do_v they_o bid_v we_o make_v satisfaction_n in_o purgatory_n they_o object_n against_o we_o adam_n also_o david_n which_o be_v punish_v for_o hꝭ_n adultery_n of_o these_o example_n they_o do_v make_v a_o universal_a rule_n that_o to_o every_o sin_v be_v correspondent_a a_o proper_a temporal_a punyshement_n in_o layeng_v on_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n afore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o holy_a man_n do_v sustain_v punyshemente_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n they_z susteyn_a

a_o proper_a punyshement_n for_o his_o offence_n ergo_fw-la besides_o the_o come_fw-mi affliction_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a other_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n in_o which_o to_o every_o sin_n be_v

certain_a pain_n besides_o the_o come_fw-mi affliction_n contrarywyse_o the_o scripture_n do_v often_o time_n teach_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n do_v come_v free_o for_o christis_fw-la sake_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o overcome_a of_o death_n and_o of_o sin_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o patch_v unto_o he_o the_o merit_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o though_o there_o be_v affliction_n leave_v yet_o not_o withstand_v the_o scripture_n do_v judge_v they_o to_o be_v mortification_n of_o the_o sin_n present_v not_o recompensation_n of_o eternal_a death_n or_o price_n of_o eternal_a
