filthy_a clout_n saint_n paul_n also_o teach_v that_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v wrought_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n tit._n 3._o 5._o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v how_o do_v the_o prophet_n here_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v deliver_v but_o their_o own_o soul_n by_o their_o righteousness_n that_o be_v as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o from_o some_o temporal_a plague_n or_o punishment_n threaten_v or_o deserve_v as_o we_o read_v of_o the_o king_n of_o niniute_v and_o his_o people_n how_o they_o prevent_v their_o destruction_n by_o repentance_n which_o otherwise_o shall_v have_v ensue_v within_o forty_o day_n of_o hezekia_n who_o call_v upon_o

may_v be_v answer_v that_o soul_n in_o this_o place_n be_v take_v for_o the_o life_n of_o man_n as_o jonas_n delare_v the_o like_a io._n 4._o 3._o saying_n and_o now_o o_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o

by_o who_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v col._n 4._o 13_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o help_n of_o christ_n who_o strengthen_v i_o and_o without_o who_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v

foresee_v as_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o do_v how_o much_o hereafter_o it_o will_v be_v impugn_a as_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v at_o this_o day_n among_o our_o adversary_n the_o

work_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o dignity_n in_o the_o person_n that_o infant_n die_v immediatelye_a after_o baptism_n be_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n because_o although_o they_o want_v good_a work_n yet_o be_v not_o void_a of_o this_o kind_n of_o merit_n and_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o work_n they_o say_v there_o be_v such_o a_o dignity_n or_o excellency_n in_o the_o work_n whereby_o it_o be_v make_v fit_a &_o enable_v to_o deserve_v everlasting_a life_n for_o the_o doer_n for_o work_n as_o they_o hold_v be_v meritorious_a two_o way_n first_o by_o covenant_n because_o god_n have_v make_v a_o promise_n of_o reward_n to_o they_o second_o by_o their_o own_o dignity_n for_o christ_n have_v merit_v that_o they_o shall_v merit_v as_o they_o say_v both_o which_o point_n be_v sufficient_o repel_v by_o this_o our_o text_n wherein_o the_o prophet_n say_v though_o these_o three_o man_n no_o daniel_n and_o job_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v as_o holy_a worthy_a and_o excellent_a as_o ever_o be_v any_o yet_o they_o shall_v deliver_v but_o their_o own_o soul_n by_o their_o own_o righteousness_n by_o which_o fall_v to_o ground_v all_o merit_n of_o work_n as_o well_o of_o congruo_fw-la and_o condigno_fw-la as_o of_o supererogation_n &_o that_o because_o part_o as_o our_o text_n say_v they_o shall_v deliver_v but_o their_o own_o soul_n as_o also_o because_o no_o flesh_n be_v righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n whereby_o neither_o infant_n how_o young_a soever_o they_o die_v who_o be_v defile_v in_o the_o womb_n and_o elder_n who_o live_v they_o never_o so_o long_o yet_o can_v boast_v of_o one_o day_n cleanness_n nor_o just_o say_v my_o heart_n be_v pure_a &_o further_o because_o all_o our_o dignity_n excellency_n and_o righteousness_n be_v none_o otherwise_v they_o a_o defile_a cloth_n final_o if_o any_o man_n will_v build_v up_o invocation_n of_o saint_n heeron_o beside_o the_o very_a express_a word_n of_o our_o text_n the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n even_o jesus_n christ_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n to_o be_v a_o testimony_n in_o due_a time_n 1._o tim._n 2._o 5._o 6._o and_o so_o as_o god_n which_o be_v the_o god_n of_o all_o truth_n have_v speak_v and_o say_v though_o noah_n daniel_n and_o job_n be_v among_o they_o yet_o they_o shall_v deliver_v but_o their_o own_o soul_n by_o their_o righteousness_n which_o may_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o build_v our_o salvation_n upon_o any_o man_n holiness_n gift_n or_o perfection_n but_o rather_o every_o man_n to_o look_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n which_o teach_v first_o that_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o second_o that_o he_o will_v reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n that_o be_v to_o they_o which_o by_o continuance_n in_o well_o do_v seek_v glory_n and_o honour_n and_o immortality_n eternal_a life_n but_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v contentious_a and_o disobey_v the_o truth_n and_o obey_v unrighteousness_n shall_v be_v indignation_n and_o wrath_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n so_o devote_v himself_o unto_o other_o man_n though_o they_o seem_v as_o holy_a just_a and_o righteous_a as_o noah_n dantel_n and_o job_n that_o in_o respect_n of_o they_o he_o or_o they_o they_o contemn_v all_o other_o a_o common_a fault_n in_o these_o day_n god_n for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n give_v we_o eye_n to_o see_v and_o heart_n to_o understand_v the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o his_o sacred_a word_n that_o we_o be_v not_o only_a hearer_n of_o the_o same_o but_o doer_n also_o and_o for_o so_o much_o as_o by_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v cause_v thy_o judgement_n of_o dearth_n and_o famine_n with_o the_o rest_n to_o
