down_o into_o the_o world_n nor_o what_o grace_n he_o impart_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o gospel_n they_o know_v not_o neither_o wat_fw-mi faith_n nor_o what_o prayer_n be_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v leave_n to_o do_v what_o they_o list_v and_o that_o folk_n shall_v lay_v the_o bridle_n loose_a in_o their_o neck_n of_o these_o wild_a christian_n there_o be_v tootoo_o many_o now_o a_o day_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n be_v blame_v by_o their_o mean_n for_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n upbrayde_v we_o with_o all_o such_o as_o be_v loose_a liver_n now_o a_o day_n and_o say_v that_o the_o same_o spring_v of_o our_o preach_n for_o this_o cause_n s._n paul_n have_v answer_v his_o adversary_n and_o also_o arm_v and_o fence_v we_o to_o answer_v they_o to_o the_o end_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o railer_n and_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v false_o slander_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a sort_n say_v that_o we_o give_v a_o inordinate_a liberty_n to_o all_o such_o as_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o do_v lewd_o let_v we_o look_v back_o to_o s._n paul_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o liberty_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o serve_v for_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o namely_o through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o aught_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o warn_n to_o all_o such_o as_o imagine_v a_o liberty_n after_o their_o own_o like_n therefore_o let_v they_o understande_v that_o first_o of_o all_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o become_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v we_o then_o eat_v quiet_o without_o make_v any_o 〈…〉_o will_v we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o 〈…〉_o which_o do_v now_o a_o day_n vex_v the_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a sort_n in_o the_o papacy_n let_v we_o understande_v what_o jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o let_v we_o be_v thorough_o he_o let_v he_o govern_v we_o and_o let_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n show_v their_o power_n and_o effectualness_n in_o our_o whole_a life_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o bind_v in_o this_o text_n and_o here_o s._n paul_n show_v again_o that_o the_o true_a perfection_n of_o god_n child_n consist_v in_o abace_v themselves_o so_o as_o they_o follow_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o affection_n for_o we_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v then_o can_v we_o not_o be_v but_o rebel_n against_o god_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n till_o we_o have_v kill_v all_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n that_o our_o life_n shall_v never_o be_v frame_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n except_o we_o be_v utter_o change_v both_o in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n second_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v but_o by_o communicate_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o use_v this_o word_n crucify_a for_o thereby_o he_o declare_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o cast_v off_o from_o he_o and_o not_o knit_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n our_o nature_n will_v always_o bring_v forth_o her_o own_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o naughtiness_n and_o vice_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o first_o of_o all_o freewill_n be_v beat_v down_o second_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o of_o god_n gift_n nor_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v all_o draw_v of_o his_o fullness_n for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n that_o be_v able_a too_o suffice_v us._n and_o if_o we_o seek_v never_o so_o far_o about_o elsewhere_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o drythe_o and_o we_o shall_v continue_v a_o thirst_n still_o and_o if_o we_o think_v too_o fill_v ourselves_o it_o will_v be_v but_o wyndinesse_n and_o misween_a wherewith_o we_o shall_v burst_v and_o yet_o not_o gather_v any_o good_a nourishment_n or_o substance_n now_o heereuppon_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o shall_v also_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a declaration_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o too_o have_v avouch_v that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v set_v free_a but_o by_o crucify_a all_o our_o wicked_a lust_n how_o be_v it_o for_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈…〉_o hypocrisy_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o do_v always_o find_v ●●a●ting_v hole_n and_o 〈…〉_o man_n will_v be_v esteem_v as_o a_o angel_n though_o his_o life_n be_v out_o of_o order_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n intend_v for_o a_o confirmation_n too_o add_v this_o say_n ▪_o that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v therewithal_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o man_n too_o protest_v themselves_o to_o have_v god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o they_o must_v show_v that_o he_o be_v there_o for_o he_o be_v not_o idle_a therefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v discern_v whether_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o or_o no_o he_o must_v come_v to_o our_o work_n and_o to_o our_o life_n and_o according_a as_o our_o conversation_n be_v so_o may_v he_o see_v what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o be_v within_o we_o and_o give_v judgement_n by_o our_o outward_a work_n that_o be_v apparent_a as_o for_o example_n if_o one_o will_v bear_v i_o in_o hand_n that_o a_o block_n be_v a_o live_a a_o man_n too_o see_v too_o it_o stir_v neither_o head_n nor_o foot_n thrust_v at_o it_o and_o shove_v at_o it_o and_o yet_o there_o appear_v no_o life_n in_o it_o and_o shall_v he_o then_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o piece_n of_o stone_n remove_v from_o place_n too_o place_n or_o have_v any_o power_n in_o it_o or_o be_v a_o creature_n that_o have_v a_o soul_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o those_o that_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v spiritual_a for_o although_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o enemy_n of_o god_n be_v alive_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n because_o their_o soul_n be_v utter_o corrupt_v but_o we_o live_v to_o godward_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o if_o this_o grace_n be_v in_o we_o it_o can_v not_o be_v idle_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o conversation_n will_v show_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o no._n the_o word_n walk_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o our_o life_n be_v mention_v nevertheless_o here_o be_v not_o only_o walk_v the_o word_n that_o s._n paul_n use_v import_v more_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o walk_v orderly_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o we_o must_v frame_v ourselves_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v conformable_a too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o our_o life_n must_v be_v so_o well_o rule_v as_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o god_n govern_v we_o in_o deed_n and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hold_v we_o too_o himself_o as_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o that_o he_o have_v true_o witness_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o at_o a_o word_n this_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v know_v now_o to_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n mean_v here_o to_o bewray_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o all_o such_o as_o make_v fair_a protestation_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o will_v have_v man_n to_o believe_v wondrous_a well_o of_o their_o zeal_n and_o yet_o in_o all_o their_o whole_a life_n do_v show_v 〈…〉_o at_o all_o too_o come_v near_o god_n nor_o any_o 〈◊〉_d of_o his_o word_n all_o such_o folk_n then_o be_v here_o condemn_v of_o lie_v and_o unfaythfulnesse_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v discern_v which_o be_v god_n child_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o examine_n of_o our_o life_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o that_o sometime_o the_o ignorant_a wretch_n and_o such_o as_o never_o have_v any_o instruction_n in_o the_o law_n shall_v have_v some_o appearance_n of_o virtue_n but_o if_o a_o man_n sound_v they_o thorough_o he_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o well_o bend_v either_o too_o love_v their_o neighbour_n or_o to_o walk_v
such_o as_o be_v so_o fiery_a at_o the_o first_o dash_n that_o reason_n can_v neither_o appease_v they_o nor_o stay_v they_o therefore_o when_o man_n be_v so_o hot_a and_o fling_v themselves_o at_o all_o adventure_n thing_n must_v be_v allege_v agreeable_a to_o their_o nature_n to_o make_v they_o ashamed_a that_o they_o may_v be_v draw_v too_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n s._n paul_n then_o mean_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o the_o overcome_v of_o all_o our_o affection_n which_o be_v to_o far_o out_o of_o square_a too_o the_o end_n that_o whensoever_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o hate_v any_o man_n or_o to_o be_v revenge_v of_o he_o we_o may_v consider_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v one_o of_o we_o consume_v another_o like_a dog_n and_o cat_n and_o when_o we_o have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v proceed_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o although_o our_o hatred_n may_v advantage_n we_o never_o so_o much_o although_o we_o may_v always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o although_o we_o can_v bring_v all_o our_o practice_n and_o attempt_n to_o effect_v i_o say_v although_o we_o may_v have_v advantage_n by_o gyve_v head_n to_o our_o passion_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o a_o provoke_a of_o god_n wrath_n see_v we_o can_v not_o yield_v so_o far_o unto_o he_o as_o to_o love_v those_o that_o be_v unworthy_a sith_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o be_v afraid_a &_o submit_v ourselves_o with_o all_o humility_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n let_v we_o fight_v so_o much_o the_o more_o manful_o till_o god_n have_v get_v the_o maysterie_n and_o we_o renounce_v ourselves_o as_o i_o say_v forsake_v all_o our_o own_o nature_n too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v keep_v the_o sacred_a unity_n which_o he_o do_v set_v among_o we_o when_o it_o please_v he_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o if_o we_o mind_n to_o restrain_v the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n from_o reign_v in_o we_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n furthermore_o the_o battle_n be_v right_a hard_a so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o what_o we_o will_v do_v but_o although_o god_n have_v reform_v we_o and_o touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a so_o as_o we_o will_v fain_o please_v he_o in_o all_o point_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v not_o yet_o atteyne_v too_o perfection_n because_o our_o own_o nature_n will_v always_o lead_v we_o untoo_o evil_n but_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a we_o must_v mark_v that_o by_o the_o word_n flesh_n saint_n paul_n mean_v all_o that_o be_v in_o man_n and_o 〈◊〉_d what_o ever_o we_o bring_v with_o we_o by_o our_o birth_n according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n declare_v sufficient_o in_o the_o three_o of_o john_n 6_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n say_v he_o be_v flesh_n by_o the_o word_n spirit_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o his_o obedience_n &_o correct_v our_o vice_n &_o all_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o word_n and_o the_o term_n of_o man_n by_o the_o name_n of_o flesh_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v in_o way_n of_o contempt_n but_o yet_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o vice_n and_o corruption_n sometime_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o flesh_n it_o say_v 39_o very_o well_o what_o else_o be_v man_n but_o flesh_n that_o be_v too_o say_v but_o rottenness_n ageine_n all_o flesh_n be_v grass_n and_o ageine_n what_o be_v the_o egyptian_n 6._o they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n you_o see_v then_o that_o under_o this_o word_n flesh_n man_n be_v teach_v their_o own_o frailty_n and_o do_v to_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v but_o earth_n and_o dust_n 3_o worm_n and_o worm_n meat_n and_o this_o serve_v first_o of_o all_o to_o humble_v they_o but_o when_o flesh_n be_v match_v ageyn_v spirit_n then_o be_v not_o man_n take_v in_o their_o first_o state_n as_o they_o be_v create_v of_o god_n but_o it_o serve_v too_o show_v that_o they_o be_v corrupt_v and_o full_a of_o infection_n and_o wickedness_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o taste_n at_o all_o in_o they_o to_o discern_v aright_o but_o they_o be_v utter_o pervert_v in_o all_o their_o lust_n you_o see_v then_o that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v we_o be_v flesh_n even_o from_o our_o birth_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o be_v blind_a wretch_n which_o have_v no_o wit_n at_o all_o too_o come_v untoo_o god_n and_o that_o although_o he_o have_v put_v a_o understanding_n in_o we_o to_o discern_v good_a &_o evil_a yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v grow_v brutish_a and_o can_v come_v to_o he_o and_o all_o the_o reason_n that_o we_o have_v serve_v but_o to_o make_v we_o unexcusable_a and_o final_o that_o we_o covet_v nothing_o but_o utter_v evil_a &_o that_o look_n how_o many_o affection_n we_o have_v so_o many_o be_v the_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o stark_o corruption_n &_o that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o enmity_n against_o god_n and_o separate_v we_o from_o his_o rightuousnesse_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n or_o mind_n be_v oftentimes_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o spirit_n for_o the_o word_n spirit_n or_o ghost_n betoken_v a_o invisible_a substance_n which_o can_v

when_o we_o be_v change_v and_o abace_v and_o god_n image_n deface_v in_o we_o by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n now_o then_o there_o have_v need_v to_o be_v some_o renewment_n thereof_o and_o that_o

whereas_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o god_n spirit_n he_o meen_v not_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v treat_v of_o this_o morning_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o use_v a_o other_o

the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o how_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n communicate_v his_o spirit_n to_o all_o his_fw-la for_o without_o that_o we_o

all_o the_o faithful_a &_o to_o all_o his_o child_n but_o yet_o do_v he_o grant_v we_o other_o special_a grace_n beside_o as_o when_o he_o give_v we_o man_n that_o teach_v we_o his_o word_n faithful_o

the_o gulf_n of_o confusion_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n what_o be_v we_o moreover_o we_o see_v how_o bountiful_a he_o show_v himself_o towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o give_v himself_o full_o to_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n sure_o it_o be_v much_o more_o than_o if_o he_o give_v we_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v in_o they_o for_o what_o be_v all_o other_o thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o see_v that_o god_n have_v declare_v untoo_o we_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o goodness_n add_v that_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v back_o any_o thing_n from_o we_o nor_o show_v himself_o a_o niggard_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o seek_v too_o he_o for_o all_o

dispossess_v even_o of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v receyve_v already_o and_o thereupon_o s._n paul_n bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n because_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o moreover_o because_o that_o in_o his_o person_n it_o pleaze_v god_n to_o show_v how_o we_o may_v become_v rightuous_a to_o be_v save_v for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n than_o the_o same_o that_o he_o go_v there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o way_n and_o that_o be_v set_v forth_o too_o we_o in_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n s._n paul_n therefore_o say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o the_o same_o be_v reckon_v too_o he_o for_o rightuousnesse_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v abraham_n child_n we_o must_v believe_v here_o we_o have_v too_o call_v too_o remembrance_n the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v declare_v already_o heretofore_o that_o be_v too_o say_v what_o this_o word_n faith_n or_o belief_n import_v it_o be_v not_o a_o single_a believe_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n which_o govern_v the_o world_n but_o a_o assure_v of_o ourselves_o that_o he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o we_o may_v full_o and_o free_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n because_o he_o accept_v we_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n then_o if_o we_o

faith_n and_o so_o when_o he_o say_v that_o too_o be_v ahrahams_n child_n we_o must_v be_v faithful_a it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v faithful_a christian_n nor_o

thus_o you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o christian_a that_o be_v too_o wit_n to_o be_v utter_o out_o of_o hart_n in_o himself_o in_o consideration_n that_o he_o bring_v
