this_o be_v of_o who_o christ_n and_o peter_n be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o word_n precede_v even_o that_o same_o disciple_n which_o testify_v of_o these_o thing_n and_o write_v these_o thing_n and_o so_o tell_v that_o it_o w●s_v he_o that_o witness_v and_o write_v these_o thing_n he_o close_v up_o his_o euangel_n and_o put_v his_o seal_n to_o it_o but_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v mark_v john_n say_v he_o testify_v these_o thing_n mean_v by_o word_n and_o then_o again_o he_o write_v the_o same_o thing_n so_o he_o bear_v witness_v of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n both_o by_o word_n and_o writing_n whereof_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v that_o we_o shall_v strive_v all_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n by_o word_n by_o write_v by_o confession_n of_o our_o mouth_n &_o if_o need_n require_v by_o the_o shed_n of_o our_o blood_n also_o for_o the_o more_o testimony_n be_v give_v to_o the_o truth_n the_o great_a glory_n redound_v to_o god_n again_o we_o see_v john_n when_o he_o have_v end_v the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o affix_n and_o put_v to_o his_o seal_n to_o it_o we_o shall_v follow_v this_o example_n for_o after_o we_o have_v preach_v christ_n we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o seal_v it_o if_o it_o be_v with_o our_o blood_n look_v to_o paul_n after_o he_o have_v preach_v christ_n to_o the_o philippian_n and_o have_v labour_v to_o make_v they_o to_o believe_v he_o say_v to_o they_o he_o will_v rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a with_o they_o although_o he_o be_v offer_v up_o upon_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o service_n of_o their_o faith_n that_o be_v he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o seal_v up_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v to_o they_o by_o his_o death_n that_o their_o faith_n may_v be_v the_o more_o confirm_v now_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v he_o set_v down_o the_o cause_n which_o move_v he_o to_o put_v to_o his_o seal_n to_o his_o gospel_n for_o say_v he_o we_o know_v that_o his_o testimony_n be_v true_a so_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o seal_n of_o his_o gospel_n be_v the_o full_a persuasion_n and_o assurance_n which_o he_o have_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o indeed_o he_o only_a who_o have_v full_a assurance_n in_o his_o heart_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o he_o teach_v can_v confident_o put_v his_o seal_n to_o his_o preach_n and_o therefore_o a_o minister_n shall_v endevoure_v to_o have_v full_a persuasion_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o may_v speak_v with_o liberty_n and_o great_a assurance_n as_o paul_n speak_v of_o himself_o 1._o thess_n 1.5_o and_o that_o if_o need_v require_v he_o may_v seal_v the_o gospel_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o last_o verse_n and_o to_o end_v short_o the_o apostle_n meet_v a_o question_n that_o some_o curious_a man_n may_v have_v demand_v they_o may_v have_v ask_v be_v all_o the_o thing_n which_o christ_n do_v and_o the_o wonder_n which_o he_o wrought_v set_v down_o in_o write_v by_o thou_o to_o this_o he_o answer_v that_o all_o thing_n which_o jesus_n do_v be_v not_o write_v for_o say_v he_o there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n which_o jesus_n do_v the_o which_o if_o they_o be_v write_v every_o one_o i_o suppose_v the_o world_n can_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v write_v and_o so_o he_o write_v not_o all_o thing_n which_o christ_n do_v neither_o be_v he_o of_o purpose_n to_o write_v they_o neither_o be_v he_o able_a to_o write_v they_o all_o for_o if_o he_o have_v write_v they_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n can_v not_o have_v contain_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v have_v be_v write_v upon_o this_o question_n we_o may_v perceive_v how_o curious_a the_o brain_n of_o man_n be_v and_o how_o immoderate_a his_o engine_n and_o appetite_n be_v there_o be_v nothing_o can_v content_v it_o it_o can_v be_v content_v with_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n with_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v by_o the_o prophet_n the_o evangelist_n and_o apostle_n but_o it_o be_v ever_o seek_v for_o more_o seek_v for_o new_a revelation_n new_a miracle_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n the_o devil_n know_v well_o enough_o this_o to_o be_v our_o nature_n and_o therefore_o he_o propine_n to_o the_o world_n a_o huge_a multitude_n of_o lie_n vanity_n &_o fable_n &_o especial_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o antichrist_n to_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o shaveling_n who_o can_v content_v themselves_o with_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n the_o old_a &_o new_a testament_n but_o gripe_v greedy_o to_o unwritten_a verity_n as_o they_o call_v they_o to_o tradition_n which_o false_o they_o call_v divine_a apostolic_a ecclesiastic_a so_o that_o all_o man_n may_v perceive_v that_o the_o popish_a religion_n serve_v not_o so_o much_o to_o work_v faith_n and_o bring_v salvation_n to_o man_n as_o to_o satisfy_v their_o curiosity_n and_o immoderate_a appetite_n let_v man_n take_v pleasure_n in_o that_o religion_n as_o they_o will_v they_o may_v well_o get_v their_o foolish_a appetit_fw-la please_v &_o satisfy_v but_o they_o will_v never_o get_v true_a faith_n nor_o salvation_n by_o it_o then_o mark_v of_o john_n answer_n to_o this_o question_n that_o man_n shall_v keep_v a_o measure_n in_o speak_v and_o write_v these_o thing_n which_o appertain_v to_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n this_o do_v they_o who_o the_o lord_n of_o old_a employ_v to_o be_v penne-man_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n this_o do_v the_o prophet_n this_o do_v the_o apostle_n this_o do_v the_o evangelist_n for_o in_o their_o write_v they_o respect_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n of_o god_n and_o the_o unmeasurable_a and_o unspeakable_a greatness_n and_o multitude_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o may_v have_v be_v write_v of_o that_o infinite_a and_o most_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o god_n and_o of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n next_o they_o respect_v the_o mean_a measure_n of_o man_n understanding_n and_o likewise_o of_o his_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o all_o these_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v write_v therefore_o by_o the_o lord_n direction_n in_o their_o write_v they_o apply_v themselves_o to_o our_o capacity_n &_o endeavour_v to_o set_v down_o these_o thing_n which_o y_o e_z spirit_n of_o god_n thought_n may_v sufficient_o serve_v for_o our_o faith_n &_o salvation_n for_o if_o all_o thing_n have_v be_v write_v concern_v that_o infinite_a &_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n our_o memory_n have_v be_v overwhelm_v our_o understanding_n confound_v &_o our_o faith_n overthrow_v lamentable_a experience_n let_v we_o see_v this_o day_n that_o the_o papist_n by_o their_o unwritten_a verity_n &_o infinite_a tradition_n overwhelm_v the_o world_n &_o subvert_v the_o faith_n of_o man_n now_o last_o the_o form_n of_o speech_n which_o the_o evangelist_n use_v will_v be_v consider_v when_o he_o say_v if_o all_o thing_n be_v write_v the_o world_n can_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v write_v man_n will_v think_v that_o this_o speech_n be_v hyperbolicke_a &_o that_o the_o speech_n far_o exceed_v the_o matter_n itself_o but_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o rather_o in_o this_o form_n of_o speech_n the_o holy_a spirit_n submit_v himself_o to_o our_o infirmity_n &_o apply_v himself_o to_o our_o weak_a capacity_n &_o set_v down_o a_o infinite_a &_o incomprehensible_a matter_n in_o a_o form_n of_o speak_v which_o we_o may_v easy_o understand_v for_o when_o john_n speak_v this_o he_o consider_v &_o behold_v that_o incomprehensible_a &_o infinite_a deepness_n of_o that_o glorious_a majesty_n which_o dwell_v in_o christ_n bodily_a and_o which_o manifest_v itself_o in_o his_o work_n &_o miracle_n which_o be_v able_a not_o only_o to_o swallow_v up_o all_o the_o sense_n and_o cogitation_n of_o all_o man_n but_o also_o the_o heaven_n &_o the_o earth_n and_o when_o he_o endevour_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o express_v that_o incomprehensible_a highness_n after_o such_o a_o speech_n &_o in_o such_o term_n as_o we_o may_v understand_v he_o say_v the_o world_n can_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v write_v of_o christ_n &_o his_o work_n if_o they_o be_v all_o write_v which_o speech_n import_v that_o no_o live_a creature_n be_v able_a sufficient_o to_o set_v out_o &_o by_o word_n to_o express_v that_o glorious_a majesty_n and_o his_o glorious_a wotk_n and_o miracle_n that_o he_o wrought_v according_a as_o their_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n require_v for_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v that_o infinite_a majesty_n for_o this_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o this_o whole_a scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n write_v by_o the_o prophet_n

strive_v to_o preach_v in_o public_a that_o all_o the_o man_n and_o woman_n of_o the_o world_n may_v hear_v even_o to_o preach_v in_o the_o most_o public_a place_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o it_o be_v for_o no_o other_o thing_n than_o this_o that_o thou_o may_v answer_v to_o the_o lord_n if_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o light_n come_v to_o be_v challenge_v for_o darkness_n they_o thou_o may_v appeal_v &_o say_v we_o have_v teach_v nothing_o in_o hole_n and_o that_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v convict_v in_o their_o conscience_n and_o compel_v to_o bear_v witness_n of_o the_o truth_n i_o mean_v not_o that_o at_o no_o time_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o preach_v in_o secret_a place_n and_o as_o though_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o a_o free_a course_n and_o be_v public_o preach_v for_o experience_n have_v teach_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v flee_v to_o the_o wilderness_n in_o time_n of_o persecution_n and_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v be_v

liberty_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v restrain_v let_v we_o be_v content_a to_o suffer_v and_o deliver_v in_o secret_a consolation_n by_o the_o word_n then_o mark_v again_o in_o christ_n answer_n albeit_o the_o lord_n suffer_v willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v take_v &_o give_v his_o hand_n to_o be_v bind_v yet_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o enemy_n that_o

lord_n that_o we_o suffer_v for_o the_o truth_n sake_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o suffer_v patient_o and_o willing_o but_o look_v to_o this_o again_o let_v never_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o

and_o not_o as_o thief_n and_o murderer_n 1._o pet._n 4._o 15_o 16._o it_o be_v a_o pain_n to_o suffer_v for_o a_o evil_a cause_n so_o long_o as_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o a_o mouth_n let_v we_o protest_v that_o the_o truth_n be_v truth_n paul_n say_v 2._o tim._n 2.9_o i_o be_o in_o band_n and_o i_o be_o afflict_v in_o band_n as_o though_o i_o be_v a_o evil_a doer_n yet_o the_o word_n of_o

shall_v have_v do_v the_o lord_n answer_v if_o i_o have_v evil_a speak_v bear_v witness_n of_o the_o evil_a but_o if_o i_o have_v well_o speak_v why_o smite_v thou_o i_o always_o whether_o he_o have_v

he_o suffer_v not_o only_o of_o the_o high_a priest_n but_o of_o his_o servant_n also_o he_o suffer_v of_o all_o man_n all_o this_o be_v do_v without_o any_o order_n of_o law_n the_o high_a priest_n speak_v to_o he_o against_o order_n of_o law_n and_o the_o officer_n strike_v he_o against_o order_n of_o law_n he_o fail_v in_o this_o because_o he_o strike_v he_o for_o well_o do_v for_o he_o maintain_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o father_n then_o again_o why_o shall_v he_o have_v strike_v he_o till_o he_o have_v be_v judge_v and_o then_o if_o he_o be_v judge_v yet_o it_o be_v no_o place_n to_o punish_v a_o man_n in_o judgement_n though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o evil_a so_o you_o see_v in_o how_o many_o thing_n these_o man_n fail_v what_o shall_v i_o say_v you_o shall_v common_o find_v the_o most_o innocent_a man_n who_o have_v be_v bring_v before_o evil_a man_n and_o corrupt_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n have_v be_v handle_v most_o unformal_o &_o

tell_v his_o tale_n in_o patience_n and_o they_o will_v delay_v strike_v of_o he_o till_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n but_o experience_n have_v teach_v this_o that_o when_o a_o innocent_a man_n be_v judge_v all_o the_o proceed_n be_v without_o order_n as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o example_n of_o christ_n the_o most_o innocent_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o such_o like_a in_o the_o martyr_n of_o god_n never_o thief_n nor_o robber_n be_v so_o unreasonable_o handle_v as_o they_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o even_o this_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v never_o

thou_o shall_v not_o strike_v i_o without_o order_n &_o if_o well_o why_o smite_v thou_o i_o the_o lord_n bind_v he_o that_o he_o have_v do_v wrong_a howbeit_o he_o suffer_v most_o willing_o &_o
