A12703 The high vvay to Heaven by the cleare light of the Gospell cleansed of a number of most dangerous stumbling stones thereinto throwen by Bellarmine and others In a treatise made vpon the 37. 38. and 39. verses of the 7. of Iohn: wherein is so handled the most sweete and comfortable doctrine of the true vnion and communication of Christ and his Church, and the contrarie is so confuted, as that not onely thereby also summarilie and briefly, and yet plainly all men may learne rightly to receiue the sacrament of Christs blessed bodie and blood, but also how to beleeue and to liue to saluation.

you_o see_v that_o though_o when_o the_o question_n be_v in_o hand_n why_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v we_o dare_v send_v they_o to_o no_o other_o meritorious_a cause_n thereof_o but_o only_o to_o

to_o teach_v that_o none_o but_o they_o that_o according_a to_o the_o time_n and_o occasion_n they_o have_v after_o they_o be_v in_o he_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o by_o the_o river_n of_o

count_v it_o no_o presumption_n but_o most_o commendable_a faith_n in_o they_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v because_o they_o have_v not_o only_a god_n word_n and_o promise_n general_o offer_v unto_o

spirit_n by_o these_o new_a fruit_n thereof_o to_o appertain_v particular_o unto_o they_o to_o ground_v this_o their_o persuasion_n upon_o that_o for_o christ_n sake_n undoubted_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v these_o argument_n therefore_o we_o doubt_v not_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o move_v and_o to_o persuade_v all_o that_o unfeigned_o be_v the_o lord_n even_o of_o love_n and_o thankfulness_n towards_o he_o for_o his_o unspeakable_a love_n and_o mercy_n towards_o they_o to_o strive_v both_o day_n and_o night_n by_o all_o possible_a mean_n so_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o

lord_n we_o have_v hear_v first_o the_o circumstance_n of_o a_o notable_a sermon_n make_v by_o christ_n our_o saviour_n himself_o as_o where_o when_o upon_o what_o occasion_n and_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o make_v it_o namely_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o temple_n in_o and_o upon_o the_o last_o and_o most_o solemn_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n to_o draw_v they_o that_o be_v there_o from_o their_o own_o vain_a superstition_n that_o lead_v they_o from_o he_o to_o himself_o utter_v by_o he_o stand_v and_o that_o with_o a_o cry_a voice_n second_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o speak_v therein_o to_o all_o that_o be_v thirsty_a and_o to_o none_o else_o that_o be_v to_o all_o that_o be_v true_o break_v and_o contrite_a heart_a under_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o earnest_o long_a for_o redemption_n and_o deliverance_n from_o the_o same_o three_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o command_v such_o what_o to_o ease_v they_o of_o this_o their_o spiritual_a thirst_n they_o shall_v do_v and_o that_o that_o be_v and_o be_v first_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o that_o be_v to_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v he_o what_o he_o be_v in_o person_n and_o

in_o he_o their_o own_o which_o they_o have_v do_v last_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o promise_v all_o such_o that_o his_o spirit_n in_o they_o all_o shall_v be_v as_o river_n of_o water_n of_o life_n flow_v out_o of_o their_o belly_n which_o be_v not_o nor_o have_v not_o be_v as_o yet_o then_o because_o when_o christ_n make_v this_o sermon_n he_o be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v and_o in_o

and_o so_o many_o good_a thing_n as_o that_o if_o we_o have_v hear_v as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o have_v all_o of_o we_o i_o hope_v even_o sufficient_o to_o our_o salvation_n learned_a both_o how_o to_o believe_v and_o how_o to_o live_v to_o be_v save_v for_o first_o we_o have_v be_v teach_v how_o by_o the_o law_n we_o be_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o throw_v down_o that_o we_o may_v be_v fit_a patient_n for_o christ_n jesus_n second_o we_o have_v hear_v by_o the_o gospel_n how_o we_o be_v to_o rise_v again_o and_o to_o recover_v a_o better_a stand_n than_o ever_o we_o have_v in_o the_o first_o adam_n by_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o second_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n for_o we_o have_v be_v show_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o
