paul_n speak_v that_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o i_o also_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o the_o gospel_n nor_o any_o thing_n which_o serve_v

also_o which_o will_v now_o a_o day_n have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n keep_v in_o silence_n for_o they_o will_v over-rule_v god_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a &_o stop_v his_o mouth_n as_o oft_o

shall_v not_o be_v speak_v of_o but_o be_v thrust_v under_o foot_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o two_o reason_n more_o which_o show_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o needful_a too_o be_v preach_v and_o that_o we_o reap_v so_o great_a profit_n by_o it_o as_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a that_o we_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v than_o too_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o thing_n that_o s._n paul_n

sum_n of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n teach_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o one_o be_v the_o magnify_v of_o god_n as_o he_o deserve_v and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o assuredness_n of_o our_o salvation_n 15._o that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n with_o full_a liberty_n if_o we_o have_v not_o these_o two_o thing_n woe_n worth_a we_o for_o there_o be_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o we_o well_o may_v we_o talk_v of_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o lease_v as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o god_n grace_n be_v not_o sufficient_o know_v but_o by_o se●ting_v god_n election_n as_o it_o be_v before_o our_o eye_n for_o put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n draw_v all_o man_n alike_o and_o that_o such_o as_o intend_v too_o obtain_v salvation_n must_v come_v of_o their_o own_o free_a will_n and_o selfmoving_a if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o we_o deserve_v too_o be_v receive_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v handle_v every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o worthiness_n but_o wherein_o shall_v god_n goodness_n be_v magnify_v even_o in_o this_o that_o he_o prevent_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a good_a will_n and_o love_v we_o nevertheless_o without_o find_v any_o thing_n either_o in_o we_o or_o in_o our_o work_v why_o he_o shall_v love_v we_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o must_v there_o needs_o be_v election_n so_o as_o god_n must_v take_v the_o one_o sort_n because_o he_o think_v it_o good_a so_o to_o do_v &_o leave_v the_o other_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o most_o assure_a point_n that_o god_n glory_n do_v not_o appear_v &_o shine_v forth_o as_o be_v requisite_a except_o it_o be_v know_v that_o he_o shed_v forth_o his_o

for_o the_o last_o step_n we_o must_v come_v too_o the_o experience_n that_o we_o have_v in_o these_o day_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n be_v shed_v still_o at_o this_o day_n &_o god_n can_v

still_o with_o you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v well_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a fashion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v not_o dispute_v of_o this_o matter_n after_o our_o own_o

so_o let_v we_o be_v like_o scholar_n unto_o he_o but_o let_v we_o come_v now_o too_o the_o truth_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v which_o be_v say_v he_o that_o you_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_v with_o earthly_a lust_n even_o according_a too_o the_o conversation_n that_o you_o have_v lead_v heretofore_o he_o express_v yet_o better_a that_o all_o they_o which_o vaunt_v

deny_v jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o whole_a life_n how_o much_o soever_o he_o confess_v he_o in_o word_n therefore_o let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o and_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n we_o must_v learn_v too_o rid_v away_o our_o old_a man_n and_o by_o that_o word_n the_o scripture_n mean_v all_o that_o we_o have_v of_o nature_n for_o we_o know_v there_o be_v as_o

our_o father_n now_o then_o if_o a_o man_n be_v let_v alone_o in_o his_o first_o state_n sure_o he_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o blind_a wretch_n full_a of_o rebelliousness_n and_o spite_v against_o god_n too_o be_v short_a he_o shall_v tend_v all_o whole_o unto_o evil_n for_o we_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o old_a man_n lest_o we_o shall_v

unthrift_n for_o a_o time_n they_o will_v say_v he_o must_v cast_v his_o old_a skin_n but_o here_o saint_n paul_n pass_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o our_o like_n be_v utter_o untoward_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o uprightness_n in_o we_o that_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n be_v rebellious_a against_o

here_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n in_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o in_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n for_o needs_o must_v all_o that_o be_v our_o own_o be_v lay_v down_o before_o god_n take_v in_o hand_n the_o guide_n of_o we_o and_o why_o for_o our_o thought_n and_o

must_v be_v cut_v of_o before_o god_n do_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o which_o also_o be_v the_o very_a order_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v follow_v in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v say_v he_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man._n and_o second_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v send_v we_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v repair_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n by_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n &_o that_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o damnation_n and_o endless_a death_n and_o that_o his_o offering_n of_o himself_o have_v

will_v not_o otherwise_o agree_v but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n for_o saint_n paul_n pray_v not_o god_n too_o give_v faith_n too_o the_o faithless_a and_o charity_n too_o they_o that_o be_v fleshly_a but_o unto_o the_o brethren_n that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n now_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v god_n child_n

this_o therefore_o be_v a_o infastible_a order_n that_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a receive_v god_n grace_n and_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n hold_v jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o head_n too_o the_o

upon_o god_n and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v too_o it_o we_o must_v be_v settle_v in_o it_o more_o and_o more_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v ever_o have_v a_o care_n of_o now_o in_o general_n it_o be_v true_a that_o peace_n be_v too_o be_v desire_v and_o that_o the_o very_a name_n of_o it_o be_v have_v in_o estimation_n among_o man_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o so_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o peace_n as_o too_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o god_n that_o in_o the_o end_n we_o make_v war_n against_o he_o and_o he_o proclaim_v we_o too_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o continual_a battle_n with_o the_o wicked_a for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o serve_v satan_n they_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o fight_v against_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v cold_a and_o negligent_a in_o that_o behalf_n but_o zealous_a in_o set_v ourselves_o against_o they_o insomuch_o that_o although_o they_o be_v in_o honour_n and_o credit_n yet_o let_v we_o abhor_v they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n let_v they_o be_v unto_o we_o as_o

must_v esteem_v the_o great_a man_n of_o the_o world_n no_o better_a than_o worm_n when_o they_o dare_v so_o bend_v their_o horn_n against_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o peace_n with_o they_o see_v we_o shall_v be_v fain_o too_o forsake_v god_n for_o their_o pleasure_n but_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v better_a that_o the_o world_n be_v turn_v upside_o down_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o now_o than_o if_o we_o knit_v together_o in_o god_n let_v we_o follow_v the_o rule_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o be_v so_o abse_z in_o

of_o through_o sharpness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o word_n that_o be_v couch_v here_o by_o s._n paul_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n as_o we_o be_v

among_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o primitive_a church_n 32._o so_o must_v the_o same_o appear_v among_o we_o too_o at_o this_o day_n saint_n paul_n then_o in_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v one_o

assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o god_n son_n have_v not_o come_v down_o unto_o we_o there_o have_v be_v no_o mean_a for_o we_o too_o have_v come_v unto_o god_n his_o father_n for_o besyd_n that_o we_o be_v plunge_a here_o in_o mire_n and_o have_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a frailty_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o bear_v as_o good_a as_o a_o hell_n about_o we_o because_o the_o devil_n be_v

christ_n draw_v we_o not_o but_o first_o it_o behove_v christ_n too_o come_v down_o hither_o and_o thereby_o be_v we_o teach_v to_o worship_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n always_o in_o the_o person_n which_o he_o have_v take_v of_o the_o mediator_n and_o whereas_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o unholy_a folk_n take_v occasion_n too_o despise_v he_o because_o he_o be_v crucify_v let_v we_o honour_v he_o

12._o as_o i_o have_v allege_v before_o according_a whereunto_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o scripture_n name_v he_o again_o our_o lord_n

that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v so_o i●●yghtened_v that_o god_n light_n be_v in_o we_o namely_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o

this_o light_n be_v goodness_n ryghtuousnessr_n and_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o here_o after_o the_o common_a fashion_n of_o man_n â–ª_o but_o intend_v too_o
