christian_n fetch_v their_o pedigree_n from_o god_n himself_o who_o have_v not_o their_o generation_n in_o that_o manner_n as_o the_o race_n of_o those_o famous_a worthy_n that_o homer_n write_v of_o for_o they_o when_o some_o of_o they_o excel_v other_o in_o any_o notable_a and_o famous_a act_n do_v easy_o challenge_v unto_o theimselue_n a_o feign_a nobility_n refer_a the_o first_o begin_v of_o

and_o everlasting_a god._n neither_o can_v any_o man_n without_o a_o heinous_a &_o intolerable_a offence_n doubt_v of_o this_o so_o worthy_a and_o famous_a gentility_n see_v it_o be_v make_v evident_a and_o know_v unto_o we_o by_o so_o many_o and_o so_o immunerable_a testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n first_o john_n the_o holy_a prophet_n of_o god_n do_v say_v that_o those_o which_o have_v

and_o refer_v as_o the_o offspring_n and_o child_n of_o god_n behold_v say_v he_o in_o a_o other_o place_n what_o benefit_n we_o have_v receive_v of_o god_n in_o that_o we_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o what_o say_v paul_n in_o how_o many_o place_n how_o notable_o how_o rhetorical_o do_v he_o dispute_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o nobility_n as_o where_o he_o call_v christ_n our_o

reason_n of_o distinct_a place_n infinite_a yet_o after_o they_o be_v into_o one_o place_n assemble_v to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v show_v themselves_o valiant_a soldier_n under_o their_o chief_n and_o general_a captain_n christ_n they_o be_v incontinent_o tie_v together_o &_o unite_v with_o one_o blood_n of_o kindred_n and_o consanguinity_n for_o they_o have_v now_o lay_v aside_o all_o

baptism_n for_o most_o part_n have_v renounce_v the_o old_a use_n and_o custom_n of_o sin_n and_o have_v lay_v aside_o the_o prince_n and_o image_n of_o our_o first_o father_n and_o leave_v their_o
