despair_v of_o himself_o &_o to_o seek_v elsewhere_o for_o help_v of_o another_o which_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o find_v in_o himself_o osee_n as_o osee_n say_v thy_o destruction_n come_v of_o

commandment_n be_v in_o all_o respect_n alike_o impossible_a unto_o we_o &_o beyond_o our_o reach_n now_o when_o man_n be_v teach_v his_o own_o weakness_n by_o the_o commandment_n &_o thereby_o bring_v into_o perplexity_n how_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o accomplish_v the_o law_n know_v that_o the_o law_n must_v be_v so_o of_o all_o part_n accomplish_v that_o no_o one_o jot_n so_o much_o satisfy_v or_o title_n thereof_o may_v be_v pretermit_v otherwise_o in_o danger_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n irrecoverable_a be_v they_o true_o humble_v and_o embase_v to_o nought_o in_o his_o own_o eye_n he_o find_v nothing_o in_o himself_o whereby_o he_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o come_v to_o salvation_n loe_o here_o come_v the_o other_o branch_n of_o the_o scripture_n namely_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n which_o do_v bring_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n &_o speak_v on_o this_o wise_a it_o thou_o will_v fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o not_o covet_v as_o the_o law_n require_v behold_v here_o a_o remedy_n believe_v in_o christ_n in_o who_o be_v promise_v unto_o the_o grace_n righteousness_n peace_n freedom_n and_o in_o who_o thou_o shall_v have_v all_o thing_n if_o thou_o believe_v and_o without_o who_o thou_o shall_v lack_v all_o thing_n if_o thou_o do_v not_o believe_v for_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a to_o thou_o in_o all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v many_o and_o yet_o unavayleable_a to_o salvation_n thou_o shall_v very_o easy_o faith_n and_o brief_o achieve_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v through_o faith_n because_o god_n the_o father_n have_v so_o establish_v all_o thing_n in_o faith_n that_o whosoever_o have_v faith_n may_v possess_v all_o thing_n and_o whosoever_o lack_v faith_n may_v possess_v nothing_o 11._o for_o god_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o thing_n under_o unbelief_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n on_o all_o perform_v on_o this_o wise_a the_o promise_n of_o god_n do_v give_v free_o unto_o we_o that_o which_o the_o commandment_n do_v exact_a of_o we_o perforce_o and_o do_v fulfil_v that_o which_o the_o law_n do_v strait_o command_v that_o so_o all_o thing_n may_v belong_v unto_o god_n only_o as_o well_o the_o commandment_n as_o also_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o same_o only_o god_n command_v only_a god_n perform_v and_o therefore_o god_n promise_n have_v relation_n to_o the_o new_a testament_n yea_o rather_o be_v the_o new_a testament_n itself_o for_o as_o much_o therefore_o as_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a word_n true_a just_a peaceable_a and_o full_a of_o all_o goodness_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v faith_n that_o the_o soul_n which_o do_v cleave_v steadfast_o to_o the_o same_o with_o a_o unshake_a faith_n be_v become_v so_o unite_v unto_o they_o yea_o be_v also_o whole_o so_o swallow_v up_o of_o they_o that_o it_o do_v not_o only_o partake_v thereof_o but_o be_v thorough_o gorge_v and_o make_v drunken_a with_o all_o the_o power_n and_o force_v of_o the_o same_o for_o if_o the_o touch_v of_o christ_n do_v give_v health_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v a_o very_a tender_a feel_v of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o spirit_n nay_o rather_o have_v through_o swallow_v down_o of_o the_o word_n communicate_v to_o the_o soul_n all_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o the_o word_n by_o this_o mean_n therefore_o the_o soul_n through_o faith_n only_o without_o work_n beléeve_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v justify_v sanctify_a pacify_v deliver_v and_o replenish_v with_o all_o goodness_n and_o it_o be_v true_o make_v the_o daughter_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n he_o give_v they_o power_n to_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 1._o even_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o his_o name_n by_o this_o it_o may_v be_v easy_o perceive_v from_o whence_o say_v have_v receive_v so_o great_a force_n and_o why_o neither_o any_o one_o nor_o all_o good_a work_n be_v comparable_a unto_o she_o because_o no_o work_n can_v cleave_v fast_o unto_o god_n word_n nor_o be_v within_o the_o soul_n wherein_o faith_n only_o &_o the_o word_n do_v reign_n &_o govern_v for_o such_o as_o sword_n be_v such_o become_v the_o soul_n make_v by_o force_n of_o the_o word_n even_o as_o a_o fiery_a plate_n of_o iron_n do_v glimmer_v like_a unto_o fire_n by_o mean_n of_o unite_n the_o fire_n and_o the_o plate_n together_o so_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o to_o a_o christian_a man_n faith_n suffice_v only_o for_o all_o and_o that_o he_o need_v no_o work_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o now_o if_o he_o need_v no_o work_n they_o also_o he_o need_v not_o the_o law_n if_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o law_n sure_o he_o be_v then_o free_a from_o the_o law_n so_o this_o also_o be_v true_a the_o law_n be_v not_o make_v for_o the_o righteous_a man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o same_o christian_a liberty_n our_o faith_n which_o do_v work_n in_o we_o not_o to_o be_v idler_n nor_o to_o give_v ourselves_o to_o lust_n and_o evil_a life_n but_o that_o we_o be_v not_o

can_v nothing_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o high_a honour_n of_o god_n to_o ascribe_v unto_o he_o truth_n justice_n &_o whatsoever_o else_o ought_v to_o be_v yield_v to_o

of_o himself_o in_o his_o own_o heart_n what_o avail_v deed_n i_o pray_v you_o wrought_v in_o this_o unbelief_n though_o they_o seem_v never_o so_o angelical_a or_o apostolical_a and_o therefore_o very_a well_o do_v god_n conclude_v all_o not_o in_o wrath_n &_o lust_n but_o in_o unbelief_n lest_o such_o as_o fain_o that_o they_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n through_o chaste_a and_o meek_a work_n of_o the_o law_n such_o be_v virtue_n humane_a and_o civil_a shall_v presume_v upon_o their_o salvation_n when_o as_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n they_o must_v either_o seek_v for_o mercy_n or_o to_o be_v damn_v

through_o justice_n but_o when_o god_n do_v see_v truth_n to_o be_v ascribe_v unto_o he_o he_o &_o that_o he_o be_v worship_v with_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o heart_n which_o be_v as_o much_o honour_n

to_o ascribe_v unto_o god_n justice_n &_o truth_n &_o to_o confess_v the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v true_a and_o just_a 5._o to_o this_o effect_n we_o read_v in_o the_o 1_o of_o the_o king_n the_o 5_o
