the_o knowledge_n &_o obedience_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o paul_n say_v from_o jerusalem_n &_o round_o unto_o illyricum_n 15.19_o rom._n 15.19_o i_o have_v full_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o

from_o god_n to_o satan_n peter_n do_v not_o so_o and_o with_o what_o weapon_n do_v they_o subject_a man_n 4.12_o the_o weapon_n of_o this_o kingdom_n heb._n 4.12_o save_v with_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v quick_a &_o powerful_a &_o sharp_a than_o any_o two_o edge_a sword_n

power_n of_o his_o lawful_a king_n he_o be_v judge_v a_o traitor_n a_o enemy_n and_o his_o partaker_n conspirator_n so_o be_v it_o if_o a_o man_n maintain_v but_o one_o error_n one_o strong_a hold_n against_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n much_o more_o if_o he_o hold_v diverse_a as_o pelagius_n do_v or_o many_o with_o a_o high_a hand_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v faith_n do_v moulin_n buckler_n of_o

conspirator_n maintain_v strong_a hold_v of_o error_n and_o sin_n against_o the_o word_n and_o kingdom_n of_o god_n saint_n paul_n say_v of_o some_o that_o be_v with_o he_o these_o only_o be_v my_o fellow_n worker_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 4.11_o col._n 4.11_o that_o be_v in_o those_o region_n where_o with_o he_o they_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o establish_v man_n in_o the_o

therefore_o he_o who_o be_v the_o word_n and_o therein_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n say_v unto_o they_o i_o be_o know_v of_o i_o 303._o i_o see_v charac_n of_o a_o christian_n pag._n 303._o

13.11_o chap._n 11.25_o the_o father_n hide_v they_o from_o the_o wise_a and_o learned_a and_o reveal_v they_o to_o babe_n because_o it_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o sight_n 11.7_o sight_n rom._n 11.7_o israel_n have_v not_o obtain_v that_o which_o he_o seek_v for_o but_o the_o election_n have_v obtain_v it_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v blind_v yet_o a_o little_a while_n be_v the_o light_n with_o you_o

for_o such_o as_o do_v not_o delight_v in_o the_o word_n but_o rather_o maintain_v diverse_a strong_a hold_n of_o error_n against_o the_o same_o can_v not_o have_v a_o sense_n thereof_o nor_o consequent_o that_o they_o be_v true_a subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n but_o rather_o of_o the_o contrary_a for_o therefore_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o word_n say_v those_o my_o enemy_n which_o will_v not_o that_o i_o shall_v reign_v over_o they_o bring_v hither_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o another_o place_n this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n

shall_v be_v reprove_v or_o discover_v this_o shall_v all_o such_o know_v to_o their_o cost_n when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n 1.7_o 2._o

true_a subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n 3._o joh._n 3._o but_o say_v christ_n he_o that_o do_v truth_n come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o his_o deed_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o god_n and_o so_o that_o he_o be_v a_o love_n and_o a_o obedient_a subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o diverse_a be_v in_o diverse_a city_n and_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n and_o as_o all_o shall_v be_v thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n have_v and_o have_v the_o kingdom_n and_o what_o it_o be_v and_o be_v now_o we_o be_v to_o see_v what_o it_o be_v not_o world_n christ_n kingdom_n not_o of_o this_o world_n which_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o say_v my_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n this_o have_v partly_o appear_v already_o because_o as_o we_o prove_v this_o his_o kingdom_n be_v the_o spiritual_a reign_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o consequent_o not_o any_o thing_n prejudicial_a or_o deragotory_a to_o caesar_n as_o his_o accuser_n pretend_v the_o malicious_a and_o subtle_a jew_n that_o they_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o lay_v such_o thing_n whether_o true_a or_o false_a to_o the_o charge_n of_o christ_n as_o may_v certain_o procure_v his_o death_n think_v no_o accusation_n so_o like_a to_o prevail_v with_o '_o pilate_n caesar_n deputy_n as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o move_v sedition_n and_o labour_v to_o bring_v the_o people_n from_o caeser_n to_o his_o own_o obedience_n and_o so_o to_o get_v the_o kingdom_n from_o caesar_n to_o himself_o this_o they_o think_v pilate_n dare_v not_o but_o question_n &_o strive_v to_o prevent_v though_o it_o be_v with_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o whether_o he_o be_v find_v guilty_a thereof_o or_o no_o therefore_o they_o say_v we_o find_v this_o
