by_o the_o ear_n so_o god_n have_v will_v that_o life_n shall_v enter_v in_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n and_o as_o man_n be_v fall_v by_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o the_o serpent_n so_o man_n shall_v

of_o fly_n and_o vermin_n which_o serve_v to_o no_o end_n but_o loss_n and_o damage_n also_o in_o like_a sort_n so_o soon_o as_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o blessing_n upon_o a_o country_n with_o the_o sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n present_o there_o arise_v a_o thousand_o lie_n trick_n and_o conspiracy_n to_o extinguish_v the_o grow_a truth_n and_o to_o stifle_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o cradle_n before_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n publish_v by_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a confusion_n of_o contrary_a religion_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v never_o any_o

between_o a_o lie_n &_o the_o truth_n two_o false_a religion_n agree_v much_o better_a together_o than_o the_o false_a with_o the_o true_a pilate_n and_o herode_fw-la although_o they_o be_v enemy_n

that_o make_v man_n ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n three_o what_o have_v be_v the_o consideration_n which_o have_v encourage_v our_o apostle_n not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n whereof_o he_o propound_v unto_o we_o the_o principal_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o point_n this_o word_n gospel_n signify_v a_o new_a man_n and_o a_o happy_a the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o good_a news_n which_o not_o only_o declare_v jesus_n christ_n unto_o we_o but_o also_o be_v declare_v unto_o we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v a_o happy_a news_n whereof_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o subject_n and_o the_o substance_n but_o also_o the_o bringer_n and_o the_o revealer_n to_o make_v we_o understand_v what_o the_o substance_n of_o this_o good_a news_n be_v you_o ought_v to_o put_v for_o foundation_n that_o the_o good_a of_o the_o creature_n depend_v upon_o the_o creator_n and_o that_o the_o felicity_n of_o man_n proceed_v not_o from_o his_o own_o proper_a virtue_n but_o from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v not_o create_v adam_n in_o the_o earthly_a paradise_n but_o only_o introduce_v he_o in_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v learn_v that_o he_o be_v not_o heir_n of_o paradise_n by_o nature_n but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o by_o his_o grace_n lead_v man_n in_o even_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n in_o this_o earthly_a paradise_n god_n have_v plant_v two_o tree_n which_o serve_v for_o two_o advertisement_n the_o one_o set_v out_o human_a infirmity_n the_o other_o clare_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n which_o give_v man_n to_o understand_v the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o present_v unto_o we_o the_o fruit_n of_o life_n that_o be_v to_o say_v jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o himself_o expound_v it_o in_o speak_v of_o his_o grace_n whosoever_o shall_v overcome_v i_o will_v give_v he_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n etc._n etc._n now_o we_o see_v that_o if_o before_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n god_n will_v by_o these_o document_n make_v man_n know_v and_o understand_v he_o do_v not_o subsist_v at_o all_o by_o his_o own_o proper_a virtue_n but_o only_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n how_o much_o more_o must_v he_o now_o subject_a and_o confess_v his_o weakness_n see_v he_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o this_o grace_n by_o his_o sin_n for_o if_o a_o live_a man_n subsist_v not_o of_o himself_o much_o less_o can_v a_o dead_a man_n raise_v himself_o up_o by_o his_o proper_a virtue_n whereupon_o god_n promise_v to_o abraham_n the_o possession_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o put_v he_o into_o the_o possession_n thereof_o although_o he_o be_v the_o natural_a father_n of_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n man_n may_v learn_v that_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o heaven_n come_v not_o by_o nature_n but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o moreover_o god_n will_v not_o that_o moses_n the_o bearer_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v introduce_v the_o people_n into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n purposely_o to_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o our_o work_n that_o we_o can_v come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n what_o then_o the_o charge_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o people_n of_o god_n into_o the_o promise_a inheritance_n be_v give_v to_o josuah_n who_o be_v also_o call_v jesus_n and_o a_o saviour_n be_v only_o a_o figure_n of_o jesus_n christ_n moses_n lead_v the_o people_n to_o the_o border_n of_o the_o land_n and_o deliver_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o josuah_n because_o the_o law_n lead_v we_o to_o the_o gospel_n and_o be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n chase_v we_o on_o our_o way_n by_o threaten_n and_o represent_v it_o unto_o we_o by_o shadow_n and_o figure_n man_n then_o be_v so_o cast_v down_o and_o fall_v into_o death_n can_v not_o get_v up_o again_o but_o by_o the_o only_a assistance_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n he_o that_o do_v blow_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o adam_n respiration_n of_o life_n be_v he_o only_o from_o who_o man_n can_v receive_v inspiration_n of_o spiritual_a life_n for_o as_o epiphanius_n recite_v of_o those_o that_o travail_v by_o the_o desert_n of_o syria_n where_o be_v nothing_o but_o

not_o transubstantiate_v into_o blood_n for_o they_o hold_v baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o not_o the_o eucharist_n they_o hold_v that_o by_o baptism_n every_o kind_n of_o sin_n be_v

according_a to_o his_o word_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v that_o the_o memorial_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v in_o the_o church_n and_o by_o the_o which_o he_o work_v in_o our_o heart_n with_o efficacy_n shall_v ever_o become_v contemptible_a we_o must_v honour_v the_o sacrament_n but_o we_o may_v not_o put_v they_o in_o the_o place_n of_o thing_n signify_v all_o this_o abovesaid_a serve_v to_o show_v that_o for_o to_o know_v the_o truth_n in_o religion_n we_o must_v not_o begin_v with_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n but_o first_o of_o all_o inquire_v after_o his_o

and_o that_o which_o he_o teach_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n i_o will_v say_v more_o it_o be_v the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o dishonour_n and_o disgrace_n the_o power_n of_o the_o almighty_a god_n and_o of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n for_o first_o of_o all_o they_o make_v it_o serve_v to_o do_v thing_n more_o miraculous_a than_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o no_o profit_n come_v by_o it_o for_o they_o hold_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v eat_v himself_o for_o he_o have_v participate_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n with_o his_o disciple_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o can_v declare_v unto_o we_o to_o what_o end_n such_o a_o prodigious_a and_o incomprehensible_a thing_n serve_v for_o that_o a_o man_n have_v his_o

the_o lord_n what_o a_o horrible_a shame_n and_o reproach_n do_v they_o make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o although_o that_o jesus_n chirst_n do_v not_o

of_o unprofitable_a thing_n and_o indeed_o the_o example_n which_o they_o bring_v to_o hold_v up_o transubstantiation_n be_v example_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v profitable_a and_o the_o use_n whereof_o be_v apparent_a as_o when_o god_n create_v the_o world_n and_o bring_v forth_o the_o light_n and_o change_v the_o rod_n into_o a_o serpent_n and_o convert_v water_n into_o

of_o it_o for_o the_o rod_n of_o moses_n be_v change_v into_o a_o serpent_n which_o be_v not_o so_o before_o the_o change_n and_o at_o the_o marriage_n in_o cana_n in_o galilee_n the_o lord_n
