be_v build_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god._n sometime_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o every_o faithful_a man_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n because_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o

of_o god_n what_o power_n he_o have_v and_o what_o treasure_n he_o utter_v towards_o we_o then_o we_o have_v the_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o without_o jesus_n christ_n we_o

too_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o infirmity_n in_o we_o still_o and_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o

otherwise_o in_o this_o place_n if_o any_o man_n will_v say_v there_o be_v some_o contradiction_n the_o doubt_n will_v soon_o be_v dissolve_v namely_o that_o saint_n paul_n intent_n here_o be_v not_o

show_v brief_o that_o if_o we_o receive_v the_o mean_n that_o god_n offer_v we_o and_o be_v diligent_a too_o serve_v he_o we_o shall_v be_v furnish_v of_o all_o piece_n and_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v

every_o of_o we_o flatter_v himself_o and_o we_o think_v we_o have_v do_v much_o when_o we_o have_v use_v a_o few_o fair_a countenance_n and_o not_o be_v utter_a rebel_n against_o god_n so_o as_o

quite_o away_o from_o the_o soundness_n and_o substancialnesse_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o righteousness_n for_o we_o will_v fain_v content_a god_n with_o a_o little_a in_o deed_n we_o will_v confess_v well_o enough_o with_o the_o mouth_n that_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v serve_v and_o honour_v and_o that_o we_o shall_v live_v

we_o still_o unprovided_a forasmuch_o then_o as_o we_o open_v he_o such_o a_o gap_n we_o must_v not_o marvel_v that_o he_o get_v the_o better_a hand_n of_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v much_o better_o for_o we_o too_o go_v through_o with_o our_o race_n and_o too_o stick_v too_o our_o tackel_a that_n we_o stand_v fast_o for_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v diverse_a that_o have_v a_o good_a zeal_n as_o far_o as_o can_v be_v judge_v and_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o blast_n it_o will_v not_o continue_v and_o why_o because_o we_o be_v not_o fence_v against_o satan_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o if_o we_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o promise_n will_v never_o deceive_v we_o for_o although_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v the_o faithful_a too_o stand_v fast_o and_o too_o hold_v out_o too_o the_o end_n yet_o be_v there_o a_o certain_a warrantyze_n include_v therein_o that_o god_n will_v always_o succour_v they_o at_o their_o

to_o start_v aside_o and_o too_o stray_v quite_o out_o of_o the_o good_a way_n we_o must_v impute_v all_o too_o our_o own_o recklessness_n because_o we_o have_v not_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n that_o
