he_o shall_v need_v no_o other_o mean_n of_o obtain_v everlasting_a life_n than_o to_o become_v my_o disciple_n 36._o do_v not_o think_v that_o i_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o i_o ought_v to_o

meat_n and_o drink_n and_o all_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o world_n whatsoever_o v._o 36._o these_o person_n of_o who_o our_o lord_n say_v that_o they_o believe_v not_o be_v those_o very_a man_n who_o the_o day_n before_o have_v see_v the_o miracle_n which_o he_o do_v say_v this_o be_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o prophet_n that_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n whereby_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o then_o they_o believe_v but_o that_o their_o mind_n be_v now_o change_v though_o upon_o no_o other_o reason_n than_o that_o they_o now_o perceive_v his_o great_a design_n be_v to_o feed_v

in_o this_o case_n the_o same_o evidence_n which_o convince_v these_o man_n while_o they_o take_v our_o saviour_n to_o be_v a_o benefactor_n to_o their_o body_n have_v lose_v all_o its_o force_n with_o they_o when_o they_o once_o perceive_v that_o his_o great_a business_n be_v to_o save_v their_o soul_n some_o also_o of_o our_o lord_n disciple_n be_v of_o this_o disposition_n and_o it_o have_v the_o same_o effect_n upon_o they_o as_o you_o may_v see_v v._o 64._o 37._o so_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o believe_v i_o not_o be_v because_o you_o be_v not_o prepare_v by_o a_o good_a and_o honest_a heart_n to_o receive_v the_o truth_n and_o now_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o father_n who_o will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v do_v not_o expect_v that_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o

it_o seem_v very_o reasonable_a to_o interpret_v these_o phrase_n of_o the_o father_n give_v some_o to_o christ_n and_o draw_v they_o by_o what_o our_o lord_n say_v v._o 26._o that_o these_o man_n follow_v he_o because_o they_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o loaf_n i_o e._n not_o from_o a_o sincere_a desire_n of_o learn_v the_o truth_n and_o attain_v eternal_a life_n but_o for_o worldly_a end_n for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o lust_n of_o these_o man_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o unbelief_n on_o the_o other_o side_n our_o saviour_n say_v that_o all_o who_o be_v give_v and_o draw_v by_o the_o father_n will_v believe_v and_o become_v his_o disciple_n and_o none_o else_o therefore_o the_o father_n give_v those_o only_a to_o christ_n who_o be_v prepare_v by_o a_o honest_a heart_n and_o

those_o who_o he_o find_v so_o averse_a as_o these_o man_n be_v see_v notes_n on_o v._o 45._o but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o if_o man_n obstinate_o persist_v in_o their_o sensual_a and_o worldly_a
