here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o that_o in_o the_o ladder_n that_o be_v show_v unto_o jacob_n 12._o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n stand_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o and_o touch_v both_o heaven_n and_o

be_v build_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god._n sometime_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o every_o faithful_a man_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n because_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o

find_v that_o our_o lord_n give_v not_o his_o word_n in_o vain_a now_o then_o see_v that_o in_o these_o day_n we_o see_v a_o number_n that_o find_v no_o taste_n in_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o be_v

not_o go_v about_o too_o pluck_v jesus_n christ_n out_o of_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o be_v the_o near_a unto_o he_o as_o the_o unbeeleever_n do_v who_o will_v needs_o

to_o be_v gospeler_n and_o even_o among_o ourselves_o what_o a_o number_n be_v there_o which_o will_v show_v sign_n great_a enough_o that_o they_o be_v willing_a too_o follow_v god_n word_n but_o they_o think_v too_o discharge_v themselves_o with_o petty_a trifle_n and_o when_o they_o have_v once_o give_v ear_n too_o the_o doctrine_n and_o speak_v a_o few_o good_a word_n then_o too_o their_o

and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v further_a that_o we_o must_v be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o charity_n this_o word_n charity_n or_o love_n may_v be_v take_v as_o well_o for_o the_o love_n that_o god_n bear_v we_o as_o for_o the_o mutual_a love_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v one_o towards_o another_o but_o the_o very_a true_a and_o native_a sense_n of_o saint_n paul_n here_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v too_o have_v we_o knit_v together_o for_o as_o he_o speak_v heretofore_o of_o god_n free_a love_n towards_o we_o so_o now_o he_o show_v how_o faith_n import_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v brotherly_a love_v one_o towards_o another_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bring_v we_o always_o to_o that_o point_n insomuch_o that_o when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o full_a perfection_n of_o good_a life_n faith_n go_v before_o &_o then_o come_v charity_n next_o unto_o it_o for_o the_o end_n that_o we_o

first_o too_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o second_o too_o call_v upon_o he_o too_o settle_v our_o faith_n in_o he_o too_o

add_v now_o that_o we_o must_v also_o be_v ground_v in_o charity_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o must_v not_o have_v alone_a some_o fit_n or_o pang_n of_o love_n as_o many_o man_n have_v but_o

god_n servant_n be_v drive_v too_o this_o needs_o must_v we_o be_v trouble_v by_o satan_n &_o his_o champion_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v both_o blame_v and_o defame_a everywhere_o for_o such_o folk_n will_v always_o do_v their_o office_n in_o turn_v good_a into_o evil_a by_o their_o false_a report_n and_o flanders_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v no_o peace_n be_v commendable_a but_o such_o as_o

saint_n paul_n call_v we_o back_o here_o too_o god_n and_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o unto_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o baptism_n too_o show_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o agree_v among_o ourselves_o now_o then_o we_o have_v here_o two_o point_n too_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o one_o be_v that_o in_o seek_v atonement_n with_o man_n we_o must_v always_o have_v our_o eye_n 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 stink_v and_o loathsome_a thing_n and_o full_a of_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n though_o they_o boast_v never_o somuch_o of_o their_o greatness_n yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o they_o be_v drown_v with_o all_o their_o bravery_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n than_o that_o they_o shall_v so_o exalt_v themselves_o against_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_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 ourselves_o as_o the_o world_n may_v perceive_v by_o our_o mildness_n that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o loftiness_n in_o we_o too_o set_v we_o at_o odds_n and_o like_v as_o kyndhartednesse_n bring_v patience_n so_o also_o let_v we_o condemn_v man_n vice_n and_o yet_o labour_v always_o to_o draw_v the_o party_n unto_o god_n and_o too_o win_v they_o unto_o he_o rather_o than_o too_o set_v they_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 call_v too_o one_o hope_n of_o our_o call_n first_o and_o forme_v he_o show_v we_o upon_o what_o condition_n we_o be_v call_v of_o god_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o knot_n among_o we_o as_o may_v show_v that_o we_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o be_v cast_v up_o together_o like_o a_o heap_n of_o stone_n but_o we_o must_v be_v knit_v together_o with_o a_o hearty_a good_a will._n and_o like_v as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o mind_n 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

end_n too_o draw_v we_o the_o more_o too_o the_o say_a affection_n of_o live_v together_o in_o concord_n and_o brotherly_a love_n even_o with_o such_o atonement_n as_o we_o may_v be_v brethren_n that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o knit_v together_o as_o the_o finger_n of_o a_o hand_n for_o without_o that_o we_o can_v never_o show_v that_o we_o be_v desirous_a too_o attain_v too_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o two_o word_n body_n and_o spirit_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o god_n spirit_n govern_v we_o he_o reform_v our_o affection_n in_o such_o wise_n that_o our_o mind_n be_v knit_v together_o but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o declare_v that_o all_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o

or_o call_n too_o be_v short_a we_o must_v be_v but_o all_o as_o one_o as_o shall_v be_v declare_v anon_o more_o at_o length_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o there_o be_v none_o other_o too_o govern_v we_o but_o jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v make_v all_o as_o one_o man_n in_o he_o and_o sooth_o we_o know_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v say_v of_o adam_n and_o eve_n and_o of_o all_o marry_a folk_n and_o their_o wife_n must_v also_o be_v accomplish_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v that_o the_o church_n be_v bone_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o marriage_n betwixt_o they_o now_o if_o we_o be_v so_o knit_v all_o together_o to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v reason_n also_o that_o we_o shall_v agree_v among_o ourselves_o &_o that_o one_o union_n shall_v extend_v through_o all_o the_o whole_a body_n for_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v reign_v over_o we_o &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v divide_v among_o ourselves_o see_v that_o he_o be_v but_o one_o let_v that_o therefore_o serve_v for_o the_o first_o point_n now_o saint_n paul_n too_o stir_v we_o up_o the_o better_a heruntoo_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v call_v unto_o a_o inheritance_n in_o say_v so_o he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o much_o holy_a atonement_n between_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o everyman_n shift_v for_o himself_o anon_o after_o and_o the_o inheritance_n be_v part_v among_o they_o so_o as_o the_o brethren_n seem_v too_o be_v separate_v asunder_o and_o the_o natural_a bond_n that_o be_v among_o they_o before_o too_o be_v half_o break_v but_o we_o have_v a_o inheritance_n that_o can_v be_v break_v a_o man_n can_v say_v i_o have_v that_o which_o

all_o call_v too_o one_o self-same_a inheritance_n if_o any_o of_o we_o shrink_v aside_o from_o his_o brethren_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o give_v over_o his_o part_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o we_o will_v abhor_v such_o a_o blasphemy_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v of_o any_o of_o we_o whether_o he_o will_v renounce_v his_o part_n of_o paradise_n it_o will_v make_v

be_v this_o thorough_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n sure_o there_o will_v be_v another_o manner_n of_o friendship_n and_o brotherliness_n among_o we_o than_o there_o be_v and_o man_n shall_v see_v

upon_o that_o string_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o humble_a ourselves_o with_o a_o good_a will_n and_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o saint_n paul_n blame_v man_n nature_n

what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v show_v we_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n a_o long_a time_n and_o yet_o we_o continue_v still_o like_o those_o that_o never_o taste_v of_o

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
