term_v perfection_n and_o teach_n and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o perfection_n and_o teach_n be_v of_o god_n to_o show_v that_o in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o invent_v what_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o but_o that_o that_o matter_n lie_v simple_o in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o ordeyn_v aught_o to_o be_v hold_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n in_o that_o behalf_n yea_o and_o that_o such_o addition_n and_o minglinge_n be_v mere_a corruption_n therefore_o when_o moses_n

yet_o shall_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o go_v on_o still_o and_o why_o because_o the_o hope_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v gather_v of_o god_n former_a make_n of_o we_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n will_v serve_v to_o carry_v we_o over_o all_o tempest_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o will_v be_v as_o a_o boat_n or_o as_o a_o ship_n or_o as_o a_o bridge_n to_o convey_v we_o safe_o over_o to_o

such_o wise_a as_o they_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v their_o own_o and_o why_o because_o it_o have_v be_v promise_v they_o of_o god_n behold_v say_v he_o thy_o god_n mean_v

which_o then_o live_v be_v bear_v thereby_o then_o be_v they_o put_v in_o mind_n that_o they_o have_v not_o deserve_v such_o a_o benefit_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o that_o it_o proceed_v whole_o of_o

moreover_o they_o that_o first_o carry_v the_o gospel_n abroad_o be_v dead_a long_o ago_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n truth_n be_v everlasting_a and_o that_o although_o

in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n say_v in_o another_o place_n 3.15_o 2._o tim._n 3.15_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o

as_o soon_o as_o we_o perceive_v god_n presence_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v abash_v we_o see_v how_o the_o very_a angel_n do_v hide_v their_o eye_n 2_o esa._n â—_o 2_o because_o god_n glory_n be_v

be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o understand_v more_o at_o large_a the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o one_o word_n namely_o that_o the_o law_n fray_v we_o far_o more_o in_o comparison_n than_o

in_o keep_v god_n law_n moses_n renew_v the_o rememberaunce_n thereof_o and_o set_v their_o deliverance_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a mind_a and_o consider_v that_o they_o

may_v spring_v up_o at_o all_o adventure_n and_o that_o god_n over_o rule_v they_o not_o alas_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o we_o see_v how_o mad_a the_o devil_n be_v to_o overthrow_v all_o

that_o by_o know_v that_o god_n hold_v we_o under_o his_o hand_n we_o be_v assure_v that_o no_o error_n or_o abuse_n can_v have_v access_n unto_o we_o unless_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o our_o lord_n

with_o we_o still_o and_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o our_o lord_n abhor_v ydolatry_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o other_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v in_o any_o wise_a but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o abhor_v it_o and_o because_o we_o be_v too_o cold_a in_o that_o behalf_n we_o be_v warn_v to_o quicken_v up_o ourselves_o and_o to_o take_v the_o mean_n which_o we_o know_v to_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v the_o forward_a in_o cause_v god_n to_o be_v serve_v pure_o among_o we_o and_o open_v

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n but_o here_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n how_o moses_n may_v say_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o such_o a_o city_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v put_v over_o unto_o god_n as_o a_o offering_n or_o sacrifice_n yet_o do_v god_n speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n in_o many_o place_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o when_o we_o protest_v that_o only_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o when_o we_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o

and_o yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n in_o the_o firstlinge_n tenthes_o and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_n unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n it_o behove_v god_n curse_n to_o be_v

in_o his_o person_n 5.21_o levit._fw-la 7.2_o 2._o cor._n 5.21_o but_o here_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v honour_v and_o homage_n be_v do_v unto_o he_o by_o

thereof_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n like_v very_o well_o of_o and_o why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v a_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o suffer_v

while_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o yield_v he_o obedience_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o law_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o

be_v not_o for_o shame_n of_o man_n they_o will_v never_o come_v at_o the_o church_n you_o shall_v never_o hear_v that_o they_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o what_o christianity_n be_v that_o contrariwise_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o hearken_v to_o he_o as_o how_o they_o can_v say_v wellynough_o that_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o

say_v so_o even_o he_o himself_o we_o need_v not_o go_v to_o reason_v thereupon_o for_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o such_o as_o will_v not_o quiet_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o order_n which_o he_o have_v appoint_v be_v rebel_n against_o he_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v start_v hole_n to_o deceive_v god_n withal_o for_o if_o we_o desire_v that_o he_o shall_v reign_v over_o we_o the_o man_n that_o have_v the_o charge_n and_o office_n to_o speak_v to_o we_o in_o his_o

&_o 10.28.29_o the_o master_n himself_o be_v come_v and_o that_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v superiority_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o he_o speak_v by_o his_o gospel_n which_o if_o a_o man_n despise_v he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v withal_o he_o that_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v stone_v to_o death_n as_o we_o have_v see_v before_o but_o now_o our_o

the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offend_v much_o more_o greevous_o and_o shall_v be_v punish_v more_o rigorous_o because_o they_o spite_n god_n open_o as_o though_o they_o protest_v in_o effect_n that_o they_o pass_v not_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o battle_n and_o to_o deface_v his_o majesty_n utter_o therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n 3.19_o gal._n 3.19_o that_o as_o oft_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o himself_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o ought_v much_o rather_o to_o be_v hear_v than_o moses_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n be_v of_o god_n likewise_o and_o it_o be_v give_v by_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n but_o as_o now_o we_o stand_v upon_o the_o mean_n that_o god_n have_v use_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o more_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v utter_v his_o glory_n the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v provoke_v to_o

that_o be_v bring_v we_o and_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o god_n than_o our_o forefather_n have_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o

they_o to_o be_v seduce_v to_o our_o confusion_n now_o our_o lord_n set_v down_o here_o two_o sort_n of_o false_a prophet_n the_o one_o be_v of_o they_o that_o speak_v false_o in_o his_o name_n and_o the_o other_o be_v of_o they_o that_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o strange_a go_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o a_o prophet_n to_o shroud_v himself_o under_o y_o e_o name_n of_o the_o live_a

and_o upright_o conscience_n for_o we_o see_v you_o to_o the_o deceiver_n have_v sometime_o object_v thus_o against_o god_n seruamt_n what_o be_o not_o i_o a_o prophet_n as_o well_o as_o thou_o yes_o very_o thou_o be_v in_o office_n but_o see_v how_o thou_o discharge_v thyself_o of_o it_o let_v we_o mark_v then_o y_z t_z all_o the_o matter_n lie_v not_o in_o speak_v in_o god_n name_n and_o y_o it_o do_v experience_n well_o show_v us._n for_o the_o pope_n at_o this_o day_n will_v speak_v in_o god_n name_n and_o yet_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o stark_a abomination_n in_o his_o

true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n name_n ought_v to_o have_v such_o reverence_n among_o we_o y_z t_z we_o shall_v all_o humble_v ourselves_o to_o hearken_v to_o y_z e_z thing_n y_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o

we_o must_v try_v all_o doctrine_n y_z t_z we_o may_v judge_v of_o they_o aright_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o false_a prophet_n which_o moses_n have_v set_v down_o here_o be_v of_o those_o which_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o idol_n which_o abuse_v creep_v in_o at_o length_n even_o among_o the_o jew_n for_o after_o that_o thing_n be_v once_o grow_v out_o of_o kind_n all_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v soothsayer_n and_o prophet_n but_o that_o be_v altogether_o in_o the_o name_n of_o idol_n according_a to_o the_o city_n wherein_o they_o dwell_v wheresoever_o there_o be_v a_o temple_n there_o be_v a_o jew_n that_o say_v we_o have_v the_o foreknowledge_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v even_o by_o birth_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o sell_v their_o prophecy_n as_o these_o

even_o by_o the_o profane_a history_n when_o they_o be_v once_o become_v idolater_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a unshamefastnesse_n of_o they_o to_o make_v such_o boast_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n and_o why_o so_o they_o have_v that_o gift_n because_o they_o be_v the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n because_o they_o be_v circumcise_v because_o they_o be_v god_n own_o people_n and_o

they_o will_v needs_o borrow_v the_o mean_n of_o idolater_n and_o we_o see_v in_o manner_n the_o like_a altogether_o nowadays_o in_o the_o popedom_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o monk_n boast_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o office_n of_o pray_v for_o y_z e_z whole_a church_n and_o yet_o in_o y_z e_z mean_v while_o they_o will_v sing_v a_o mass_n of_o our_o lady_n and_o a_o mass_n of_o such_o a_o saint_n &_o such_o a_o saint_n and_o so_o idol_n be_v intermingle_v with_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o live_a god_n for_o although_o y_fw-fr e_z saint_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o be_v no_o idol_n yet_o do_v they_o make_v they_o so_o which_o do_v so_o abuse_v their_o name_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o both_o these_o sort_n of_o

to_o wit_n that_o the_o more_o we_o know_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o eschew_v the_o same_o and_o even_o so_o it_o be_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v

until_o they_o have_v have_v the_o experience_n of_o it_o but_o the_o effect_n show_v that_o his_o so_o speak_v be_v not_o in_o vain_a the_o thing_n then_o which_o moses_n or_o rather_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o his_o mouth_n intend_v be_v to_o put_v the_o jew_n in_o mind_n how_o liberal_a god_n have_v show_v himself_o to_o they_o namely_o by_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o by_o give_v they_o fruitfulness_n that_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o maintain_v they_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o mean_v here_o to_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n by_o declare_v that_o he_o pass_v the_o common_a order_n of_o nature_n when_o he_o have_v such_o a_o care_n to_o sustain_v his_o people_n so_o welthy_o in_o that_o land_n which_o a_o man_n will_v never_o have_v think_v able_a to_o

will_v needs_o discharge_v ourselves_o by_o flattery_n to_o take_v leave_n to_o do_v evil_a then_o must_v he_o needs_o execute_v his_o unrevocable_a sentence_n of_o hide_v away_o his_o face_n from_o we_o after_o he_o have_v bear_v long_o enough_o with_o we_o and_o of_o see_v what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o let_v we_o rot_v in_o our_o wretchedness_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o he_o shall_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o help_v us._n and_o in_o any_o wise_a let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n can_v not_o away_o with_o hypocrisy_n in_o man_n for_o among_o other_o thing_n he_o require_v soundenesse_n and_o truth_n in_o we_o that_o our_o conversation_n shall_v be_v utter_o void_a of_o all_o double_a meaning_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v

froward_a and_o besnarled_a with_o all_o naughtiness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v even_o as_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v change_v if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o admit_v and_o

for_o that_o he_o be_v tie_v unto_o it_o &_o can_v of_o his_o infinite_a power_n do_v otherwise_o but_o because_o it_o please_v he_o so_o to_o do_v thus_o be_v we_o do_v to_o understande_v in_o few_o

we_o well_o remember_v what_o be_v contain_v here_o as_o thing_n that_o proceed_v not_o from_o a_o mortal_a creature_n but_o from_o god_n who_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n and_o
