with_o the_o same_o itch_n of_o themselves_o for_o we_o see_v some_o so_o greedy_o snatch_v at_o and_o hunt_v for_o those_o thing_n that_o make_v to_o the_o take_n away_o of_o the_o féelinge_n of_o godliness_n that_o have_v in_o manner_n scarce_o perceive_v the_o sound_n of_o a_o few_o word_n by_o and_o by_o they_o range_v from_o the_o eternal_a and_o unchaungeable_a truth_n of_o god_n and_o sure_o whosoever_o have_v but_o mean_o travel_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v try_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v far_o otherwise_o ground_v than_o upon_o opinion_n he_o shall_v not_o so_o easy_o waver_v and_o they_o that_o bear_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o spirit_n print_v in_o their_o heart_n it_o be_v far_o unlike_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v with_o the_o assault_n of_o these_o engine_n but_o this_o be_v it_o that_o paul_n mean_v where_o he_o say_v that_o man_n make_v shipwreck_n in_o the_o faith_n after_o the_o time_n that_o they_o have_v fall_v from_o a_o good_a conscience_n whereby_o he_o mean_v both_o that_o this_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o right_n understand_v and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o they_o have_v nothing_o stedfaste_v among_o they_o which_o be_v toss_v among_o the_o sundry_a wave_n of_o their_o lust_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n therefore_o why_o we_o shall_v be_v trouble_v with_o this_o godlessness_n which_o now_o partly_o rage_v everywhere_o through_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o special_o reign_v in_o the_o court_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n in_o judgement_n place_n and_o in_o other_o glorious_a trade_n of_o live_v for_o if_o i_o shall_v demand_v of_o one_o that_o have_v skill_n in_o thing_n yea_o and_o it_o be_v even_o of_o those_o who_o can_v rid_v themselves_o from_o this_o temptation_n which_o of_o they_o all_o there_o do_v harborow_n a_o good_a conscience_n their_o answer_n will_v be_v in_o a_o readiness_n that_o it_o be_v banish_v a_o great_a way_n of_o wherefore_o then_o do_v we_o wonder_v at_o that_o shipwreck_n of_o faith_n which_o paul_n teach_v must_v needs_o follow_v moreover_o if_o they_o so_o wary_o keep_v money_n bestow_v in_o coffer_n as_o many_o as_o be_v any_o thing_n smite_v with_o the_o love_n thereof_o what_o excuse_n shall_v he_o lay_v for_o himself_o which_o be_v fence_v with_o no_o guard_n of_o god_n do_v set_v himself_o forth_o wilful_o to_o the_o

my_o mind_n to_o extenuate_v the_o peril_n that_o may_v come_v by_o they_o but_o rather_o i_o admonish_v and_o testify_v that_o no_o serpent_n have_v so_o venomous_a a_o blast_n as_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o waker_n &_o careful_a to_o beware_v of_o they_o by_o the_o way_n i_o say_v that_o all_o such_o be_v free_o from_o this_o contagion_n be_v it_o never_o so_o pestiferous_a as_o have_v not_o forslow_v to_o root_v themselves_o deep_a in_o christ_n neither_o be_v this_o my_o sayinge_v but_o the_o sayinge_v of_o paul_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o grow_v in_o christ_n until_o we_o come_v to_o be_v perfect_a man_n lest_o we_o be_v any_o more_o subject_a to_o the_o subtlety_n of_o man_n which_o go_v about_o to_o deceive_v us._n notwithstanding_o we_o must_v harken_v also_o to_o another_o exhortation_n of_o paul_n namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v insure_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n upon_o this_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v keep_v our_o promise_n of_o marriage_n unto_o he_o unuiolate_a we_o ought_v in_o especial_o to_o beware_v that_o the_o devil_n corrupt_v we_o not_o with_o his_o flatter_a enticement_n for_o if_o the_o woman_n which_o have_v give_v ear_n to_o allurement_n of_o bawdry_n seem_v to_o have_v give_v already_o some_o sign_n of_o unchastnesse_n it_o appear_v that_o those_o soul_n be_v scarce_o chaste_a which_o delight_n to_o be_v move_v to_o false_a forsake_v their_o obedience_n to_o god_n the_o reason_n of_o all_o error_n be_v not_o much_o unlike_o herunto_o the_o faith_n of_o many_o quayl_v and_o some_o do_v utter_o fall_v from_o the_o gospel_n because_o they_o conjecture_v it_o to_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o error_n as_o though_o any_o man_n shall_v give_v over_o tillage_n and_o sowinge_n of_o the_o ground_n because_o the_o pure_a seed_n do_v oftentimes_o degenerate_a into_o cockle_n to_o the_o intent_n the_o strangeness_n of_o the_o matter_n shall_v not_o abash_v any_o man_n christ_n warn_v we_o that_o it_o shall_v come_v so_o to_o pass_v for_o albeit_o that_o in_o that_o place_n he_o compare_v hypocrite_n to_o darnel_n and_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n to_o wheat_n yet_o he_o show_v how_o this_o be_v the_o accustom_a fraud_n of_o satan_n to_o corrupt_v and_o defile_v the_o heavenly_a seed_n of_o god_n by_o all_o y_z e_z mean_v he_o can_v to_o the_o intent_n it_o shall_v not_o come_v to_o fruitfulness_n we_o know_v that_o the_o world_n lie_v a_o long_a time_n barren_a like_o a_o waste_n and_o untilled_a ground_n now_o have_v god_n sow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o gospel_n by_o his_o minister_n do_v we_o marvel_v if_o satan_n do_v intermeddle_v as_o many_o corrupt_a error_n as_o he_o can_v for_o what_o whole_a wain_n load_v of_o false_a opinion_n have_v he_o not_o bring_v in_o immediate_o with_o the_o first_o spring_a up_o of_o the_o gospel_n i_o do_v omit_v the_o innumerable_a multitude_n but_o what_o can_v be_v devise_v more_o prodigious_a than_o the_o dotinge_n of_o valentine_n of_o montane_n and_o of_o the_o manichee_n now_o it_o be_v to_o much_o folly_n that_o they_o which_o count_v it_o for_o a_o miracle_n that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o quench_v in_o so_o thick_a darkness_n or_o which_o hearty_o rejoice_v to_o hear_v that_o the_o strength_n thereof_o have_v continue_v unappalled_a against_o so_o many_o assault_n shall_v be_v offend_v at_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o now_o also_o satan_n sulli_v it_o with_o the_o darkness_n of_o his_o lie_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n do_v sundry_a way_n stumble_v at_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v brief_o show_v y_z t_z there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o offence_n the_o which_o they_o incur_v not_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n either_o through_o their_o slothfulness_n or_o else_o some_o other_o singular_a vice_n of_o their_o own_o they_z which_o simple_o make_v this_o one_o objection_n that_o sect_n do_v bud_n out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n partly_o be_v glad_a to_o seek_v startinghole_n and_o partly_o through_o overmuch_o lightness_n do_v lay_v the_o cause_n of_o evil_a upon_o the_o gospel_n which_o rest_v otherwhere_o who_o so_o ever_o will_v vouchsaufe_fw-fr to_o open_a his_o eye_n he_o shall_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o only_o the_o pure_a and_o clear_a truth_n of_o god_n but_o also_o the_o best_a bond_n of_o holy_a unity_n now_o if_o satan_n rise_v up_o against_o it_o to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v darken_v this_o light_n with_o the_o cloud_n of_o error_n and_o rend_v the_o unity_n asunder_o wherein_o the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v knit_v themselves_o together_o he_o do_v but_o his_o office_n for_o he_o be_v both_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n and_o also_o the_o author_n and_o craftesmaister_n of_o all_o debate_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_o to_o labour_v in_o searchinge_v out_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o embrace_v it_o the_o more_o constant_o when_o we_o have_v find_v it_o these_o man_n do_v not_o only_o abstain_v from_o all_o such_o endeavour_n and_o fly_v from_o it_o but_o also_o do_v set_v this_o as_o a_o shield_n of_o defence_n against_o god_n that_o they_o be_v not_o compel_v to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n othersome_a all_o be_v it_o that_o they_o seek_v not_o mean_n for_o the_o nonce_n how_o they_o may_v reject_v the_o wholesome_a doctrine_n yet_o because_o they_o take_v occasion_n at_o every_o light_a blast_n to_o start_v back_o they_o have_v nothing_o which_o they_o may_v just_o allege_v for_o their_o excuse_n but_o you_o will_v say_v they_o fear_v not_o without_o cause_n lest_o if_o be_v uncertain_a which_o way_n to_o go_v they_o shall_v yield_v themselves_o pliable_a they_o may_v through_o this_o pliablenesse_n be_v snarl_a in_o the_o snare_n of_o error_n this_o be_v in_o deed_n somewhat_o but_o there_o be_v a_o better_a proviso_n than_o this_o for_o that_o danger_n namely_o to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n by_o godly_a humility_n modesty_n soberness_n and_o reverence_n for_o christ_n have_v not_o for_o nothing_o promise_v that_o the_o door_n be_v open_v
