these_o two_o text_n whereupon_o the_o same_o opinion_n be_v chief_o ground_v ought_v not_o too_o be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n as_o touch_v solomon_n sentence_n although_o it_o be_v scarce_o well_o &_o faithful_o translate_v in_o the_o commontranslation_n yet_o be_v there_o not_o any_o man_n so_o dull_a who_o in_o read_v solomon_n whole_a discourse_n may_v not_o plain_o perceive_v that_o by_o say_v so_o he_o mean_v that_o if_o any_o man_n will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o judge_v by_o the_o casualty_n displeasure_n that_o happen_v in_o this_o life_n who_o be_v love_v or_o hate_v of_o god_n he_o labour_v in_o vain_a consider_v that_o the_o selfsame_o chance_n which_o light_n upon_o the_o righteous_a light_n also_o upon_o the_o unrighteous_a upon_o he_o that_o sacrifize_v aswell_o as_o upon_o he_o that_o sacrifize_v not_o and_o as_o soon_o upon_o the_o good_a man_n as_o upon_o the_o sinner_n whereof_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o show_v his_o love_n towards_o those_o who_o he_o endu_v with_o outward_a prosperity_n and_o contrariwise_o that_o he_o show_v not_o his_o displeasure_n towards_o those_o who_o he_o punish_v then_o my_o right_a dear_a brethren_n in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n do_v you_o think_v it_o reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v sure_a of_o god_n favour_n because_o the_o same_o sureness_n can_v be_v perceive_v by_o the_o sundry_a chance_n that_o happen_v every_o day_n in_o these_o transitory_a and_o temporal_a thing_n a_o little_a afore_o solomon_n say_v that_o a_o man_n can_v discern_v any_o difference_n between_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n for_o it_o be_v see_v that_o both_o man_n and_o beast_n die_v after_o one_o manner_n shall_v we_o then_o conclude_v by_o this_o outward_a accident_n that_o the_o persuasion_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v of_o the_o immortality_n of_o y_fw-es â—_o soul_n be_v ground_v but_o only_o upon_o conjecture_n so_o sure_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n to_o stand_v upon_o a_o thing_n so_o notable_o know_v and_o as_o for_o s._n paul_n word_n i_o say_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o mean_v that_o his_o heart_n misgive_v he_o not_o of_o any_o misdealing_n therein_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o that_o he_o be_v not_o sure_o he_o have_v do_v his_o whole_a duty_n to_o the_o full_a and_o therein_o obtain_v the_o praise_n of_o righteousness_n to_o godward_o as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v all_o that_o perteyn_v and_o be_v convenient_a to_o be_v do_v by_o a_o faithful_a steward_n and_o therefore_o in_o speak_v of_o his_o office_n like_o a_o just_a and_o discrete_a person_n he_o dare_v not_o justify_v himself_o nor_o avow_v that_o he_o have_v discharge_v his_o duty_n to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o satisfy_v his_o lord_n will_v but_o refer_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o only_a judgement_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o very_o whosoever_o read_v these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n and_o consider_v the_o word_n go_v afore_o they_o with_o some_o judgement_n and_o likewise_o the_o word_n that_o follow_v will_v not_o doubt_v but_o this_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o they_o i_o know_v well_o that_o some_o man_n in_o expound_v these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n say_v that_o although_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v without_o sin_n yet_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o be_v righteous_a to_o godward_o or_o no_o according_a as_o david_n affirm_v that_o no_o man_n can_v perfect_o know_v his_o own_o sin_n 5._o but_o these_o man_n perceive_v not_o that_o s._n paul_n ground_v not_o righteousness_n upon_o work_v but_o upon_o faith_n and_o that_o he_o utter_o refuse_v his_o own_o righteousness_n to_o embrace_v only_o the_o righteousness_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n 3._o also_o they_o consider_v not_o y_z â—_o he_o be_v most_o certain_a to_o be_v accept_v for_o righteous_a in_o maintain_v the_o soundness_n &_o pureness_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o that_o he_o know_v well_o how_o the_o crown_n of_o that_o righteousness_n be_v lay_v up_o for_o he_o in_o heaven_n and_o also_o that_o he_o be_v full_o assure_v 4._o that_o no_o creature_n in_o heaven_n earth_n nor_o hell_n be_v able_a to_o separate_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o long_v to_o die_v because_o he_o know_v for_o a_o truth_n that_o after_o his_o death_n 8._o he_o shall_v be_v with_o jesus_n christ._n all_o which_o thing_n shall_v be_v false_a if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a 1._o i_o mean_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n therefore_o my_o dear_o belove_a brethren_n let_v we_o cease_v to_o speak_v y_fw-mi â—_o thing_n of_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n w_z t_z he_o never_o once_o think_v of_o himself_o but_o firce_o fight_v against_o it_o continual_o in_o answer_v such_o as_o measure_a righteousness_n by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o besides_o these_o two_o authority_n of_o solomon_n and_o s._n paul_n a_o man_n may_v allege_v some_o other_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o whereas_o they_o warn_v and_o encourage_v man_n to_o fear_n god_n seem_v too_o be_v contrary_a too_o the_o assurance_n of_o this_o our_o predestination_n â—â—uish_v and_o if_o i_o will_v declare_v they_o all_o particular_o i_o shall_v be_v overlong_o but_o i_o say_v general_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o child_o love_v too_o the_o new_a testament_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n witness_v when_o he_o say_v to_o the_o roman_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n too_o fear_n but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v father_n father_n 1_o and_o likewise_o unto_o timothy_n he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o fearefullnes_n but_o rather_o of_o power_n and_o love_n which_o spirit_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v we_o according_a too_o the_o promise_n make_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o holy_a prophet_n and_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o wèe_v be_v deliver_v out_o of_o our_o enemy_n hand_n may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n before_o his_o holy_a presence_n in_o all_o holiness_n &_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n by_o these_o and_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n a_o man_n may_v plain_o gather_v that_o the_o painful_a and_o slavish_a fearfulness_n agree_v not_o with_o a_o christian_a and_o this_o be_v already_o confirm_v by_o this_o that_o such_o manner_n of_o fearfulness_n be_v utter_o contrary_a to_o the_o spiritual_a chéerefulnesse_n and_o joy_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o christian_a as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n show_v open_o to_o the_o roman_n 14_o say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o every_o man_n which_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v become_v righteous_a through_o faith_n and_o afterward_o add_v peace_n of_o conscience_n which_o consequent_o breed_v such_o a_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a rest_n and_o gladness_n 4._o in_o respect_n whereof_o the_o same_o saint_n paul_n do_v oftentimes_o encourage_v the_o christian_n to_o live_v mery_o and_o saint_n peter_n say_v 1._o that_o all_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n do_v continual_o rejoice_v with_o a_o unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a joy_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v afflict_v
