man_n be_v so_o perfect_a as_o can_v be_v in_o this_o sinful_a life_n put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o it_o be_v as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v say_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o despise_v of_o prophesy_v neither_o despise_v prophesy_v because_o all_o do_v not_o preach_v alike_o but_o rather_o when_o you_o hear_v some_o preach_v one_o way_n and_o some_o another_o way_n do_v you_o try_v

truth_n that_o thou_o abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o error_n so_o zealous_a the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v we_o of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o set_v no_o atticle_n upon_o our_o

vain_a word_n and_o every_o wicked_a deed_n be_v like_o so_o many_o drop_n to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o business_n of_o this_o world_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o care_n of_o the_o mind_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o long_a delay_n that_o be_v not_o apply_v the_o motion_n when_o it_o come_v but_o cross_v the_o good_a thought_n with_o bad_a thought_n and_o do_v a_o thing_n when_o the_o spirit_n say_v do_v it_o not_o sometime_n a_o man_n shall_v feel_v himself_o stir_v to_o a_o good_a

again_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v grieve_v not_o the_o spirit_n show_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v often_o grieve_a before_o it_o be_v quench_v and_o that_o when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o

the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n no_o man_n say_v paul_n can_v say_v that_o jesus_n be_v

spirit_n refuse_v not_o his_o help_n but_o seek_v it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v comfort_v yourselves_o in_o his_o testimony_n of_o your_o adoption_n quench_v not_o the_o light_n he_o

receive_v the_o gift_n so_o minister_v the_o same_o to_o another_o as_o good_a disposer_n of_o the_o manifold_a grace_n of_o god_n despise_v not_o prophesy_v this_o admonition_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o the_o former_a for_o by_o prophesy_v the_o spirit_n be_v kindle_v and_o without_o prophesy_v the_o spirit_n be_v quench_v and_o therefore_o after_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n say_v paul_n show_v that_o as_o our_o sin_n do_v quench_v the_o spirit_n so_o prophesy_v do_v kindle_v it_o this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emaus_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v when_o christ_n preach_v unto_o they_o out_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n the_o spirit_n be_v so_o kindle_v with_o his_o preach_n that_o their_o heart_n wax_v hot_a within_o they_o this_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o kindle_v and_o reviue_v and_o refresh_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o word_n be_v call_v the_o food_n of_o

be_v guilty_a of_o her_o death_n prophesy_v be_v the_o preach_n and_o expound_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o he_o be_v call_v a_o prophet_n and_o do_v prophecy_n that_o open_v unto_o we_o the_o

may_v work_v according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n it_o will_v let_v thou_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o thy_o error_n and_o settle_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n wherein_o thou_o shall_v walk_v if_o it_o have_v be_v dangerous_a for_o thou_o to_o hear_v the_o prophesy_a of_o the_o gospel_n he_o will_v not_o have_v send_v his_o disciple_n into_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v it_o if_o lydia_n shall_v not_o have_v like_v to_o hear_v paul_n preach_v how_o may_v she_o have_v know_v god_n if_o those_o great_a number_n which_o hear_v peter_n and_o be_v convert_v have_v despise_v prophesy_v and_o will_v

thou_o believe_v error_n for_o truth_n for_o as_o among_o ruler_n there_o be_v bad_a ruler_n so_o among_o preacher_n there_o be_v false_a preacher_n this_o make_v christ_n warn_v his_o disciple_n to_o

the_o way_n which_o paul_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o try_v other_o whereby_o he_o be_v try_v himself_o thereby_o you_o may_v see_v that_o if_o you_o use_v to_o read_v the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o try_v all_o doctrine_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o touchstone_n of_o every_o doubt_n like_o the_o light_n which_o god_n make_v to_o behold_v all_o his_o creature_n so_o

before_o he_o trust_v he_o and_o shall_v not_o we_o try_v our_o faith_n which_o must_v save_v we_o saint_n paul_n say_v let_v every_o
power_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o she_o because_o she_o come_v so_o like_o his_o son_n this_o be_v to_o put_v on_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o wedding_n garment_n without_o the_o which_o no_o man_n can_v feast_v with_o the_o lord_n this_o garment_n be_v call_v a_o armour_n because_o it_o defend_v we_o from_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n this_o garment_n be_v call_v a_o light_n because_o it_o be_v the_o beauty_n and_o glory_n of_o they_o which_o wear_v it_o this_o garment_n be_v call_v a_o kingdom_n because_o none_o but_o king_n do_v

have_v send_v unto_o we_o to_o go_v before_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n a_o holy_a garment_n a_o royal_a garment_n a_o immaculate_a garment_n a_o everlasting_a garment_n whereof_o

if_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n we_o be_v clothe_v with_o his_o obedience_n whereby_o our_o wickedness_n be_v cover_v we_o be_v clothe_v with_o his_o merit_n whereby_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o

on_o christ_n so_o that_o to_o put_v on_o christ_n be_v to_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n with_o all_o his_o virtue_n until_o we_o be_v renew_v to_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v like_o a_o

on_o christ_n but_o put_v off_o christ_n and_o put_v on_o beliall_n which_o fashion_v himself_o to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o world_n for_o as_o christ_n coat_n be_v without_o seam_n so_o they_o must_v be_v without_o stain_n that_o wear_v it_o therefore_o when_o we_o have_v put_v on_o this_o garment_n we_o must_v wash_v ourselves_o and_o pick_v our_o way_n and_o choose_v our_o work_n that_o be_v we_o must_v not_o think_v as_o we_o do_v nor_o speak_v as_o we_o do_v but_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v change_v our_o master_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v now_o to_o

the_o way_n unto_o we_o how_o we_o shall_v wear_v this_o garment_n first_o we_o must_v put_v he_o on_o as_o lord_n than_o we_o must_v put_v he_o on_o as_o jesus_n last_o we_o must_v put_v he_o on_o as_o christ_n first_o as_o lord_n that_o be_v our_o ruler_n to_o command_v we_o our_o tutor_n to_o govern_v we_o and_o our_o master_n to_o direct_v we_o we_o must_v be_v no_o man_n servant_n but_o he_o we_o must_v also_o put_v he_o on_o as_o jesus_n that_o be_v our_o saviour_n in_o who_o we_o trust_v our_o protector_n on_o who_o we_o depend_v our_o redeemer_n on_o who_o we_o believe_v we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o our_o salvation_n from_o angel_n nor_o saint_n nor_o any_o thing_n beside_o he_o for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n signify_v a_o saviour_n and_o be_v give_v to_o none_o but_o to_o he_o for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a saviour_n therefore_o when_o he_o be_v call_v our_o salvation_n it_o impli_v that_o there_o be_v no_o saviour_n beside_o he_o also_o we_o must_v put_v he_o on_o as_o christ_n that_o be_v a_o king_n to_o rule_v a_o prophet_n to_o teach_v a_o priest_n to_o pray_v and_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o us._n for_o the_o name_n of_o

teach_v he_o so_o than_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n as_o lord_n which_o worship_v none_o but_o he_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n as_o jesus_n which_o believe_v in_o none_o but_o he_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n as_o christ_n which_o hear_v none_o but_o he_o believe_v in_o none_o but_o he_o furthermore_o when_o we_o put_v christ_n first_o on_o be_v when_o we_o be_v baptize_v than_o we_o be_v seal_v and_o consecrate_v to_o his_o service_n for_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n we_o vow_v to_o renounce_v the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o serve_v god_n we_o have_v put_v on_o christ_n again_o when_o we_o be_v call_v and_o sanctify_v that_o be_v when_o we_o cast_v off_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_a with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o this_o life_n with_o the_o care_n of_o this_o world_n and_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v regenerate_v in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n to_o the_o image_n of_o

that_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v supply_v our_o unrighteousness_n and_o his_o suffering_n shall_v stand_v for_o our_o suffering_n because_o he_o come_v to_o fulfil_v
