be_v cause_v in_o their_o assemble_v for_o lack_v of_o discretion_n in_o those_o good_a man_n the_o first_o be_v the_o arrogant_a set_n out_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n the_o second_o be_v the_o

remove_v all_o these_o thing_n for_o to_o place_v humility_n he_o put_v all_o man_n in_o mind_n of_o that_o most_o wretched_a state_n in_o the_o which_o they_o have_v live_v before_o when_o through_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o enemy_n the_o devil_n they_o go_v suppliant_o afterydol_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o gather_v by_o that_o that_o a._n those_o gift_n ought_v to_o be_v refer_v not_o to_o their_o desert_n but_o to_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n he_o teach_v they_o also_o that_o other_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v the_o which_o although_o they_o have_v not_o

the_o benefit_n of_o the_o a._n holy_a ghost_n after_o that_o he_o declare_v how_o that_o the_o gift_n which_o every_o man_n have_v receive_v he_o have_v receive_v it_o not_o for_o himself_o only_o but_o for_o all_o other_o and_o that_o it_o ought_v therefore_o to_o be_v employ_v to_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n then_o he_o show_v how_o amongst_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n charity_n have_v the_o high_a room_n and_o dignity_n that_o they_o may_v thereby_o understand_v that_o it_o skill_v not_o much_o how_o many_o tongue_n a_o man_n know_v or_o else_o how_o great_a

and_o prophecy_n he_o despise_v not_o tongue_n but_o perfer_v prophesy_v far_o before_o the_o tongue_n and_o these_o be_v the_o place_n by_o the_o which_o the_o apostle_n bring_v the_o man_n of_o that_o time_n from_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o lightness_n to_o the_o love_n of_o gravity_n and_o modesty_n but_o that_o disorder_n of_o talk_v together_o f._n and_o hinder_v one_o a_o other_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o profit_n of_o teach_v be_v thereby_o lose_v s._n paul_n take_v it_o a_o way_n when_o he_o say_v but_o if_o any_o man_n speak_v with_o tongue_n let_v it_o be_v do_v by_o two_o or_o at_o the_o most_o by_o three_o and_o let_v one_o expound_v for_o you_o may_v prophesy_v by_o one_o and_o one_o and_o you_o may_v speak_v by_o one_o and_o one_o and_o lest_o any_o man_n may_v say_v that_o he_o be_v violent_o move_v by_o the_o spirit_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o can_v not_o refrain_v himself_o from_o speak_v the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o

ghost_n final_o he_o set_v a_o order_n of_o the_o which_o he_o have_v say_v much_o before_o by_o f._n these_o word_n endeavour_v yourselves_o to_o prophesy_v and_o forbid_v no_o man_n to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n but_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v honest_o and_o orderly_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v not_o to_o use_v strange_a tongue_n but_o yet_o he_o prefer_v before_o tongue_n the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o declaration_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o church_n and_o he_o command_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v with_o very_o good_a order_n now_o there_o be_v two_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o place_n the_o one_o be_v that_o amongst_o many_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v do_v at_o one_o time_n at_o our_o pleasure_n indifferent_o look_v what_o thing_n may_v be_v omit_v without_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v omit_v when_o any_o danger_n that_o may_v thereupon_o ensue_v and_o the_o time_n so_o require_v and_o therefore_o although_o in_o s._n paul_n time_n all_o mystery_n may_v be_v communicate_v to_o all_o man_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v in_o our_o day_n when_o there_o be_v no_o like_a capacity_n in_o all_o man_n to_o conceive_v they_o be_v commit_v to_o all_o man_n indifferent_o without_o any_o respect_n of_o personne_n the_o other_o point_n be_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o s._n paul_n in_o all_o that_o disputation_n be_v to_o keep_v down_o pride_n to_o set_v up_o charity_n and_o to_o command_v that_o order_n shall_v be_v keep_v he_z therefore_o that_o geve_v occasion_n of_o pride_n that_o slake_v love_n and_o charity_n that_o distourb_v good_a order_n although_o he_o seem_v to_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n yet_o go_v he_o directe_o against_o the_o meaning_n of_o s._n paul_n
wean_v from_o the_o acqueintaunce_n of_o the_o body_n so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wissh_v we_o can_v because_o we_o understande_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o man_n misery_n procee_v of_o negligence_n and_o forgetfulness_n what_o so_o ever_o thing_n mai_fw-gr bring_v we_o to_o remember_v the_o bowntifulnes_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n we_o use_v it_o very_o diligent_o therefore_o even_o as_o we_o make_v the_o sign_n cross_n of_o the_o cross_n upon_o our_o forehead_n the_o which_o manner_n s._n basile_n refer_v to_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n so_o do_v we_o set_v up_o

for_o we_o from_o everlasting_a darkness_n and_o damnation_n into_o everlasting_a light_n liberty_n and_o glory_n for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v the_o image_n of_o holy_a man_n set_v up_o of_o old_a time_n as_o saintes_n it_o be_v declare_v before_o that_o man_n behold_v they_o shall_v be_v move_v the_o often_o to_o bend_v their_o mind_n to_o think_v upon_o those_o man_n which_o walk_v more_o fervent_o in_o the_o step_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o dispose_v themselves_o the_o soon_o to_o follow_v their_o godliness_n and_o virtue_n for_o in_o holy_a man_n we_o do_v not_o so_o much_o reverence_v the_o man_n themselves_o as_o the_o majesty_n of_o christ_n which_o dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n for_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o brother_n of_o christ_n the_o heir_n of_o the_o everlasting_a and_o heavenly_a kingdom_n the_o which_o state_n all_o such_o have_v attein_v by_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n as_o have_v so_o nail_v their_o sense_n upon_o the_o cross_n that_o there_o live_v none_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o but_o only_o the_o spirit_n will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o christ_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v d._n i_o live_v now_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o and_o so_o we_o honour_v in_o holy_a man_n a_o most_o excellent_a gift_n of_o god_n a_o very_a express_a image_n of_o god_n yea_o after_o a_o manner_n of_o speech_n certain_a god_n in_o the_o brightness_n of_o who_o we_o extol_v and_o praise_v for_o evermore_o the_o most_o high_a and_o everlasting_a benefit_n of_o god_n faith_n now_o the_o faith_n in_o the_o which_o we_o live_v be_v such_o that_o it_o do_v neither_o minish_v our_o hope_n in_o attempt_v any_o good_a work_n neither_o wipe_v away_o quite_o all_o fear_n or_o doubt_v of_o salvation_n but_o it_o bring_v the_o well_o dispose_v mind_n in_o hope_n of_o godliness_n and_o virtue_n and_o it_o drive_v withal_o now_o and_o then_o a_o certain_a fear_n into_o all_o such_o as_o think_v upon_o the_o rigour_n of_o god_n judgement_n for_o christ_n which_o by_o his_o blood_n have_v drown_v sin_n as_o it_o be_v write_v into_o the_o depth_n and_o have_v furnish_v all_o such_o as_o be_v come_v unto_o he_o with_o a_o lively_a and_o true_a faith_n with_o the_o gift_n of_o holiness_n purity_n and_o justice_n have_v appoint_v everlasting_a damnation_n to_o they_o that_o refuse_v to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n for_o he_o be_v

believe_v that_o the_o work_v of_o holy_a man_n be_v not_o disteyn_v with_o any_o uncleanes_n of_o sin_n for_o that_o be_v a_o derogation_n and_o dishonour_n to_o christ_n for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v do_v by_o his_o grace_n and_o power_n and_o we_o know_v for_o certain_a that_o such_o as_o think_v not_o that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v to_o be_v spend_v in_o do_v holy_a work_v if_o they_o continue_v in_o that_o lewd_a opinion_n be_v torment_v in_o hell_n for_o evermore_o we_o confess_v that_o man_n be_v destitute_a of_o the_o aid_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n can_v neither_o do_v nor_o endeavour_n no_o nor_o think_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v available_a to_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v that_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n all_o the_o mean_a to_o attain_v unto_o true_a honour_n all_o the_o stay_n of_o life_n everlasting_a rest_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o will_n yet_o we_o believe_v this_o assure_o that_o it_o lie_v in_o we_o either_o to_o refuse_v or_o else_o to_o accept_v thankful_o this_o benefit_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v unto_o us._n and_o as_o we_o do_v not_o deface_v neither_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o holy_a cross_n neither_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n neither_o the_o monument_n of_o holy_a man_n so_o do_v we_o think_v that_o the_o reverend_a order_fw-fr ceremony_n of_o all_o ceremony_n and_o the_o religious_a
