of_o the_o chaldean_n it_o be_v not_o reason_n that_o the_o tyranny_n of_o man_n shall_v break_v or_o any_o deal_n diminish_v from_o we_o that_o due_a honour_n we_o owe_v unto_o god_n here_o be_v no_o

which_o live_v here_o in_o rest_n &_o quiet_a enjoyeng_v the_o use_n of_o the_o great_a and_o singular_a benefit_n of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o forget_v that_o i_o touch_v in_o the_o beginning_n that_o we_o apply_v these_o thing_n to_o our_o learning_n that_o what_o so_o ever_o hereafter_o befall_v we_o or_o into_o what_o soever_o country_n we_o shall_v be_v lead_v yet_o may_v we_o always_o constantlye_o abide_v in_o the_o pure_a confession_n of_o our_o faith_n detest_a all_o idolatrous_a religion_n superstition_n and_o abuse_n which_o be_v against_o god_n truth_n do_v obscure_a his_o

take_v of_o this_o say_n in_o the_o .13_o cap._n to_o the_o hebrews_n let_v we_o go_v forth_o to_o he_o without_o the_o gate_n and_o suffer_v rebuke_n with_o he_o all_o the_o exhortation_n which_o

our_o life_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o certain_a of_o that_o thing_n wherefore_o we_o enter_v to_o so_o great_a peril_n but_o that_o constancy_n and_o firmness_n of_o mind_n can_v not_o be_v have_v unless_o it_o be_v deep_o found_v in_o a_o certainty_n &_o sure_a persuasion_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v many_o which_o will_v unaduisedly●_n &_o rash_o ventre_n to_o dye_v for_o certain_a foolish_a opinion_n invent_v of_o their_o own_o brain_n but_o such_o forwardness_n of_o mind_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v think_v a_o furiousness_n then_o a_o christian_n zeal_n and_o love_n for_o assure_o there_o be_v no_o firmness_n other_o of_o mind_n or_o wit_n or_o of_o common_a sense_n in_o these_o man_n which_o do_v cast_v themselves_o in_o to_o peril_n with_o such_o hardy_a rashness_n how_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v god_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v and_o take_v we_o for_o his_o martyr_n and_o witness_n without_o a_o good_a cause_n for_o death_n be_v common_a for_o all_o man_n &_o also_o the_o condemnation_n of_o thief_n and_o of_o god_n child_n the_o sufferance_n of_o shame_n and_o punishment_n seem_v to_o be_v all_o one_o but_o god_n make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o because_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v and_o forsake_v his_o own_o truth_n this_o also_o be_v require_v that_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a witness_n void_a of_o all_o error_n of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o we_o will_v defend_v ▪_o wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o exhortation_n so_o weighty_a that_o can_v move_v and_o persuade_v we_o to_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o a_o true_a

and_o so_o to_o do_v shall_v be_v think_v rather_o rashness_n they_o christian_n boldness_n morover_n god_n alow_v nothing_o that_o we_o do_v unless_o we_o be_v plain_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o for_o his_o cause_n that_o the_o world_n be_v so_o against_o we_o &_o do_v hate_v us._n but_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o such_o certainty_n and_o persuasion_n of_o mind_n i_o do_v not_o only_o understand_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v to_o discern_v and_o judge_v betwixt_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o foolish_a opinion_n &_o constitution_n of_o man_n but_o also_o that_o we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o the_o ●roune_n promise_v unto_o we_o in_o heaven_n after_o ●ure_a conflict_n in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o now_o mark_v well_o

of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o there_o be_v see_v in_o these_o no_o surety_n and_o constancy_n of_o mind_n and_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o come_v in_o to_o
