of_o god_n and_o a_o man_n must_v pray_v as_o due_o for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n as_o for_o his_o daily_a bread_n they_o follow_v both_o as_o necessary_o the_o one_o upon_o the_o other_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a two_o benefit_n can_v do_v answ_n but_o to_o sin_n in_o scripture_n be_v take_v in_o these_o sense_n chief_o first_o man_n be_v say_v to_o sin_n that_o study_n sin_n that_o

we_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o careful_a mind_n to_o serve_v satan_n and_o to_o leave_v and_o forsake_v the_o live_a god_n the_o nature_n of_o god_n child_n may_v be_v overtake_v with_o infirmity_n but_o they_o do_v not_o study_v for_o it_o second_o they_o be_v say_v to_o sin_n that_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n so_o saint_n john_n say_v the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v not_o sin_n because_o they_o premise_v it_o not_o before_o hand_n and_o they_o call_v themselves_o to_o account_n and_o to_o judgement_n for_o it_o after_o they_o judge_v

basil_n basil_n say_v if_o thy_o sin_n please_v thou_o not_o it_o shall_v never_o hurâ—_n thou_o last_o they_o be_v say_v to_o sin_n that_o sin_n to_o desperation_n thaâ—_n care_v not_o for_o pardon_v that_o disclaim_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o say_v their_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o can_v be_v forgive_v like_o cain_n and_o judas_n that_o will_v none_o of_o god_n compassion_n that_o reject_v his_o favour_n and_o will_v not_o subject_v themselves_o to_o his_o censure_n but_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v thus_o
it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o body_n shall_v never_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o by_o degeneration_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v bring_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o that_o high_a perfection_n that_o it_o shall_v still_o be_v infinite_o better_a and_o yet_o still_o it_o self_n it_o shall_v still_o be_v the_o self_n same_o in_o essence_n though_o not_o in_o quality_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o in_o substance_n and_o nature_n but_o not_o the_o same_o in_o eminency_n of_o grace_n and_o glory_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o in_o be_v but_o not_o the_o same_o in_o seem_v or_o in_o

the_o same_o concern_v the_o augmentation_n and_o the_o rare_a quality_n that_o god_n shall_v impose_v upon_o it_o and_o invest_v it_o withal_o and_o so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o comfortable_a doctrine_n to_o this_o flesh_n of_o we_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v any_o other_o flesh_n glorify_v for_o it_o but_o that_o this_o flesh_n that_o have_v suffer_v martyrdom_n this_o flesh_n

shall_v receive_v the_o crown_n of_o glory_n according_a to_o the_o manifold_a evil_n it_o have_v endure_v otherwise_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a consolation_n in_o this_o life_n see_v the_o

the_o resurrection_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v manifest_a it_o be_v still_o hide_a and_o inherent_a in_o the_o inner-man_n but_o this_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o

1_o first_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n whether_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o live_a soul_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n and_o whether_o adam_n be_v not_o a_o quicken_a spirit_n as_o well_o as_o christ_n and_o certain_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a if_o we_o take_v they_o in_o their_o kind_n they_o be_v both_o true_a for_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o make_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n but_o he_o have_v a_o body_n as_o adam_n have_v and_o he_o be_v a_o live_a soul_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n and_o adam_n be_v not_o only_o make_v a_o dull_a and_o dumpish_a thing_n give_v unto_o worldly_a matter_n but_o he_o be_v make_v a_o quick_a although_o not_o a_o quicken_a spirit_n therefore_o for_o the_o first_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n for_o there_o be_v a_o gross_a error_n of_o eunomius_n eunomius_n eunomius_n which_o think_v that_o christ_n have_v no_o reasonable_a soul_n but_o that_o his_o divinity_n be_v his_o soul_n that_o it_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o soul_n and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o soul_n but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o monstrous_a abortion_n for_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o take_v our_o whole_a nature_n he_o have_v not_o save_v our_o whole_a nature_n now_o the_o best_a and_o chief_a part_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n chief_o and_o principal_o that_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o take_v our_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o he_o take_v our_o flesh_n and_o so_o be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n and_o it_o appear_v also_o by_o this_o in_o that_o he_o have_v two_o will_n in_o he_o as_o he_o have_v two_o nature_n the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n unite_v in_o one_o person_n so_o likewise_o he_o have_v two_o will_n the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o will_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o subject_v always_o the_o low_a will_n unto_o the_o high_o not_o my_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v fulfil_v not_o as_o i_o will_v but_o as_o thou_o will_v but_o the_o will_n of_o his_o manhood_n appear_v in_o this_o thas_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n he_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n 26.42_o mat._n 26.42_o he_o desire_v that_o the_o cup_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o he_o will_v not_o have_v die_v at_o that_o instant_n yet_o as_o he_o be_v always_o obedient_a to_o god_n the_o father_n he_o desire_v that_o the_o upper_a will_n may_v prevail_v and_o say_v not_o my_o will_n but_o thou_o be_v fulfil_v let_v the_o will_n of_o god_n prevail_v and_o let_v the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v rule_v and_o overrule_v therefore_o as_o christ_n have_v two_o will_n so_o he_o have_v two_o nature_n and_o by_o consequent_a the_o full_a nature_n of_o god_n and_o man_n or_o else_o if_o he_o have_v not_o take_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n he_o can_v not_o have_v deliver_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n the_o principal_a part_n whereof_o be_v the_o soul_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n although_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n as_o adam_n be_v yet_o he_o be_v more_o than_o so_o he_o be_v not_o make_v for_o that_o purpose_n as_o a_o ordinary_a live_a soul_n but_o he_o have_v a_o

which_o adam_n have_v but_o in_o a_o poor_a pittance_n in_o a_o low_a condition_n he_o have_v a_o live_a soul_n indeed_o well_o qualify_v and_o adorn_v with_o innocence_n and_o the_o power_n of_o

he_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o whereby_o of_o necessity_n he_o may_v abstain_v from_o sin_n but_o that_o he_o may_v sin_v and_o be_v damn_v for_o it_o but_o in_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o absolute_a

for_o that_o which_o be_v changeable_a therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v unconstant_a base_a and_o earthly_a that_o be_v a_o simple_a poor_a base_a creature_n which_o make_v himself_o according_a

from_o heaven_n not_o because_o he_o have_v not_o a_o body_n from_o the_o earth_n but_o because_o to_o that_o body_n be_v add_v a_o glorious_a divinity_n and_o that_o his_o body_n be_v not_o a_o person_n as_o adam_n be_v for_o if_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v a_o person_n he_o must_v have_v be_v liable_a as_o all_o person_n that_o be_v bear_v to_o condemnation_n but_o he_o be_v not_o a_o person_n but_o a_o nature_n unite_v to_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n so_o that_o although_o there_o be_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o two_o but_o one_o person_n and_o the_o action_n that_o come_v from_o any_o man_n they_o be_v the_o action_n of_o his_o person_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o not_o the_o action_n of_o his_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v

action_n that_o come_v from_o christ_n they_o be_v the_o action_n of_o his_o person_n not_o of_o his_o humane_a nature_n but_o of_o his_o person_n and_o so_o they_o be_v the_o action_n of_o god_n

herein_o then_o be_v the_o difference_n that_o although_o adam_n have_v a_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o christ_n yet_o he_o have_v only_o a_o live_a soul_n that_o can_v enliven_v no_o body_n but_o

time_o confuse_o but_o you_o must_v take_v he_o according_a to_o the_o great_a stream_n according_a to_o the_o current_n of_o his_o mind_n his_o mind_n be_v still_o to_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n to_o confound_v the_o adversary_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o although_o he_o say_v he_o will_v stay_v at_o ephesus_n his_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o there_o be_v the_o enemy_n but_o he_o will_v stay_v a_o

the_o enemy_n that_o be_v there_o jerusalem_n reason_n that_o the_o adversary_n be_v at_o jerusalem_n so_o the_o first_o reason_n i_o have_v for_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a word_n of_o st._n luke_n luke_n say_v that_o he_o have_v still_o a_o mind_n he_o have_v still_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n at_o reas_n 1_o the_o feast_n of_o pentecost_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o his_o purpose_n to_o stay_v at_o ephesus_n but_o only_o some_o few_o day_n neither_o be_v it_o his_o purpose_n to_o decipher_v to_o the_o church_n that_o his_o enemy_n be_v at_o ephesus_n but_o at_o some_o other_o place_n reas_n 2_o second_o another_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v this_o that_o those_o that_o be_v at_o ephesus_n be_v bruit_n beast_n rather_o than_o man_n they_o be_v not_o adversary_n but_o beast_n rather_o if_o i_o have_v fight_v with_o beast_n at_o ephesus_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n 15._o 1._o cor._n 15._o in_o the_o chapter_n aforego_v there_o be_v no_o deal_n with_o

credit_n and_o glory_n come_v to_o the_o gospel_n by_o confound_v of_o they_o that_o be_v wise_a the_o ephesian_n be_v idolater_n they_o be_v beast_n rather_o than_o man_n therefore_o his_o adversary_n be_v not_o there_o so_o much_o as_o at_o jerusalem_n reas_n 3_o three_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o leave_v they_o and_o will_v come_v no_o more_o at_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o tumult_n that_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o demetrius_n that_o he_o raise_v but_o he_o sail_v by_o they_o and_o will_v no_o more_o touch_v there_o but_o send_v for_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o therefore_o it_o seem_v he_o reserve_v himself_o for_o enemy_n and_o adversary_n in_o some_o other_o place_n great_a than_o that_o four_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v those_o

they_o be_v nothing_o like_o to_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o jew_n fight_v with_o weapon_n the_o gentile_n be_v like_o the_o american_n like_o the_o west_n indian_n which_o be_v bare_a people_n without_o
