have_v please_v god_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o reveal_v it_o to_o i_o i_o have_v determine_v to_o give_v light_n thereoff_v to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n unto_o those_o who_o be_v ignorant_a and_o

that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v safe_a we_o have_v no_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n in_o which_o we_o can_v be_v save_v or_o have_v any_o good_a thing_n but_o only_o jesus_n

through_o all_o even_o to_o the_o profound_a thing_n of_o god_n as_o paul_n do_v write_v 1._o 1._o cor._n 1._o therefore_o they_o which_o by_o faith_n do_v possess_v he_o do_v know_v all_o the_o

through_o infirmity_n yet_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o most_o mighty_a in_o virtue_n 28._o 2._o cor._n 13_o mat._n 28._o yea_o all_o power_n have_v be_v give_v he_o both_o in_o heaven_n &_o in_o earth_n therefore_o those_o which_o by_o faith_n have_v christ_n in_o their_o heart_n have_v a_o high_a abundance_n of_o virtue_n &_o power_n so_z that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n they_o

as_o the_o whole_a multitude_n fall_v down_o before_o christ_n he_o be_v safe_a that_o have_v christ_n in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v hurt_v he_o yea_o 8._o rom._n 8._o every_o

which_o he_o have_v 13._o john_n 13._o and_o which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o bestow_v upon_o he_o without_o desire_v any_o more_o and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n give_v not_o his_o own_o son_n to_o any_o but_o that_o with_o he_o he_o give_v all_o good_a thing_n therefore_o he_o which_o have_v christ_n by_o faith_n in_o his_o heart_n as_o his_o brother_n the_o son_n of_o god_n heir_n and_o

mouth_n when_o we_o work_v or_o suffer_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n also_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o have_v a_o certain_a feeble_a desire_n theroff_n the_o which_o be_v find_v even_o in_o the_o wicked_a inasmuch_o as_o they_o will_v also_o love_v god_n work_n and_o suffer_v for_o his_o honour_n yea_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o we_o be_v wicked_a that_o with_o all_o our_o might_n and_o force_n we_o purpose_v and_o determine_v to_o work_v for_o his_o honour_n forasmuch_o as_o while_o we_o be_v wicked_a we_o can_v worship_v god_n true_o nor_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n to_o his_o glory_n with_o account_v he_o for_o our_o last_o end_n and_o more_o over_o it_o suffice_v not_o that_o we_o imagine_v &_o think_v that_o we_o work_v for_o his_o glory_n for_o that_o the_o jew_n also_o in_o crucifi_a christ_n and_o in_o persecute_v his_o saint_n think_v that_o they_o do_v god_n service_n as_o christ_n foretell_v unto_o the_o apostle_n they_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v move_v by_o zeal_n of_o the_o honour_n god_n but_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o as_o paul_n do_v write_v forasmuch_o as_o in_o truth_n if_o they_o have_v be_v move_v and_o draw_v by_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v thing_n which_o shall_v be_v to_o his_o dishonour_n as_o they_o do_v and_o this_o because_o see_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v in_o truth_n our_o last_o end_n it_o do_v not_o draw_v we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o serve_v to_o honour_v god_n to_o make_v therefore_o in_o truth_n our_o purpose_n right_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o feel_v with_o the_o spirit_n a_o lively_a faith_n and_o light_n supernatural_a the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o can_v work_v more_o in_o we_o than_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o love_v it_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n we_o be_v draw_v to_o do_v thing_n for_o his_o glory_n &_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o that_o man_n with_o a_o lively_a faith_n see_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o delyver_v he_o from_o all_o evil_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v but_o also_o have_v merit_v all_o he_o can_v no_o more_o be_v move_v to_o work_v or_o suffer_v as_o a_o servant_n for_o his_o own_o gain_n wherefore_o it_o shall_v of_o necessity_n be_v that_o as_o a_o regenerate_a heir_n and_o lord_n over_o all_o and_o sure_a of_o salvation_n he_o shall_v be_v only_o move_v to_o work_v by_o the_o son_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n now_o these_o do_v only_a worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o account_v he_o for_o their_o last_o end_n they_o alone_o do_v true_o love_v he_o not_o because_o he_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o and_o bestow_v benefit_n upon_o they_o but_o because_o he_o be_v good_a in_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v proper_o to_o love_v god_n they_o only_o do_v also_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o his_o name_n in_o truth_n for_o that_o whereas_o other_o do_v not_o feel_v nor_o know_v god_n but_o in_o that_o he_o have_v create_v they_o preserve_v they_o govern_v and_o bestow_v benefit_n on_o they_o wherefore_o they_o do_v for_o his_o own_o gain_n in_o himself_o acknowledge_v he_o in_o his_o own_o be_v to_o be_v absolute_o and_o without_o respect_n unto_o creature_n unto_o these_o also_o the_o heaven_n be_v open_a as_o unto_o stephen_n they_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n wherefore_o they_o be_v move_v to_o work_v thereby_o and_o albeit_o such_o as_o these_o do_v not_o actual_o think_v at_o all_o time_n to_o do_v thing_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o like_a as_o all_o that_o which_o the_o mariner_n do_v be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v conduct_v unto_o the_o haven_n they_o seek_v for_o albeit_o they_o do_v not_o always_o actual_o think_v thereon_o even_o so_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o those_o which_o have_v with_o the_o spirit_n taste_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v draw_v to_o work_v for_o his_o glory_n although_o they_o do_v not_o always_o actual_o think_v there_o on_o wherefore_o like_o as_o when_o thou_o cast_v on_o thou_o a_o cloak_n that_o not_o find_v any_o let_v be_v move_v by_o some_o part_n although_o thou_o do_v not_o continual_o touch_v and_o dash_v it_o with_o thy_o hand_n and_o this_o by_o that_o first_o force_n which_o thou_o do_v use_v in_o cast_v it_o on_o even_o so_o when_o thou_o begin_v to_o do_v a_o good_a work_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n although_o thou_o do_v not_o always_o actual_o think_v to_o do_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o in_o virtue_n of_o the_o first_o force_n it_o be_v whole_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o that_o there_o be_v find_v no_o let_n that_o be_v so_o that_o afterward_o thou_o do_v not_o change_v for_o to_o do_v it_o with_o any_o wicked_a intent_n repugn_v against_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o as_o to_o shake_v this_o cloak_n oftentimes_o will_v cause_v it_o sway_v with_o much_o the_o great_a force_n and_o swiftness_n so_o likewise_o when_o we_o do_v a_o good_a work_n the_o refresh_n of_o it_o oftentimes_o the_o think_v by_o force_n of_o a_o lively_a spirit_n to_o do_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n profit_v much_o to_o make_v we_o do_v it_o with_o great_a vehemency_n like_a as_o therefore_o the_o hound_n if_o he_o feel_v not_o the_o smell_n of_o the_o hare_n run_v one_o while_o this_o way_n another_o while_n that_o but_o if_o he_o
