mouth_n when_o we_o work_v or_o suffer_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n also_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o have_v a_o certain_a feeble_a desire_n theroff_n the_o which_o be_v find_v even_o in_o the_o wicked_a inasmuch_o as_o they_o will_v also_o love_v god_n work_n and_o suffer_v for_o his_o honour_n yea_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o we_o be_v wicked_a that_o with_o all_o our_o might_n and_o force_n we_o purpose_v and_o determine_v to_o work_v for_o his_o honour_n forasmuch_o as_o while_o we_o be_v wicked_a we_o can_v worship_v god_n true_o nor_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n to_o his_o glory_n with_o account_v he_o for_o our_o last_o end_n and_o more_o over_o it_o suffice_v not_o that_o we_o imagine_v &_o think_v that_o we_o work_v for_o his_o glory_n for_o that_o the_o jew_n also_o in_o crucifi_a christ_n and_o in_o persecute_v his_o saint_n think_v that_o they_o do_v god_n service_n as_o christ_n foretell_v unto_o the_o apostle_n they_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v move_v by_o zeal_n of_o the_o honour_n god_n but_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o as_o paul_n do_v write_v forasmuch_o as_o in_o truth_n if_o they_o have_v be_v move_v and_o draw_v by_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v thing_n which_o shall_v be_v to_o his_o dishonour_n as_o they_o do_v and_o this_o because_o see_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v in_o truth_n our_o last_o end_n it_o do_v not_o draw_v we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o serve_v to_o honour_v god_n to_o make_v therefore_o in_o truth_n our_o purpose_n right_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o feel_v with_o the_o spirit_n a_o lively_a faith_n and_o light_n supernatural_a the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o can_v work_v more_o in_o we_o than_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o love_v it_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n we_o be_v draw_v to_o do_v thing_n for_o his_o glory_n &_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o that_o man_n with_o a_o lively_a faith_n see_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o delyver_v he_o from_o all_o evil_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v but_o also_o have_v merit_v all_o he_o can_v no_o more_o be_v move_v to_o work_v or_o suffer_v as_o a_o servant_n for_o his_o own_o gain_n wherefore_o it_o shall_v of_o necessity_n be_v that_o as_o a_o regenerate_a heir_n and_o lord_n over_o all_o and_o sure_a of_o salvation_n he_o shall_v be_v only_o move_v to_o work_v by_o the_o son_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n now_o these_o do_v only_a worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o account_v he_o for_o their_o last_o end_n they_o alone_o do_v true_o love_v he_o not_o because_o he_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o and_o bestow_v benefit_n upon_o they_o but_o because_o he_o be_v good_a in_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v proper_o to_o love_v god_n they_o only_o do_v also_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o his_o name_n in_o truth_n for_o that_o whereas_o other_o do_v not_o feel_v nor_o know_v god_n but_o in_o that_o he_o have_v create_v they_o preserve_v they_o govern_v and_o bestow_v benefit_n on_o they_o wherefore_o they_o do_v for_o his_o own_o gain_n in_o himself_o acknowledge_v he_o in_o his_o own_o be_v to_o be_v absolute_o and_o without_o respect_n unto_o creature_n unto_o these_o also_o the_o heaven_n be_v open_a as_o unto_o stephen_n they_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n wherefore_o they_o be_v move_v to_o work_v thereby_o and_o albeit_o such_o as_o these_o do_v not_o actual_o think_v at_o all_o time_n to_o do_v thing_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o like_a as_o all_o that_o which_o the_o mariner_n do_v be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v conduct_v unto_o the_o haven_n they_o seek_v for_o albeit_o they_o do_v not_o always_o actual_o think_v thereon_o even_o so_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o those_o which_o have_v with_o the_o spirit_n taste_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v draw_v to_o work_v for_o his_o glory_n although_o they_o do_v not_o always_o actual_o think_v there_o on_o wherefore_o like_o as_o when_o thou_o cast_v on_o thou_o a_o cloak_n that_o not_o find_v any_o let_v be_v move_v by_o some_o part_n although_o thou_o do_v not_o continual_o touch_v and_o dash_v it_o with_o thy_o hand_n and_o this_o by_o that_o first_o force_n which_o thou_o do_v use_v in_o cast_v it_o on_o even_o so_o when_o thou_o begin_v to_o do_v a_o good_a work_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n although_o thou_o do_v not_o always_o actual_o think_v to_o do_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o in_o virtue_n of_o the_o first_o force_n it_o be_v whole_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o that_o there_o be_v find_v no_o let_n that_o be_v so_o that_o afterward_o thou_o do_v not_o change_v for_o to_o do_v it_o with_o any_o wicked_a intent_n repugn_v against_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o as_o to_o shake_v this_o cloak_n oftentimes_o will_v cause_v it_o sway_v with_o much_o the_o great_a force_n and_o swiftness_n so_o likewise_o when_o we_o do_v a_o good_a work_n the_o refresh_n of_o it_o oftentimes_o the_o think_v by_o force_n of_o a_o lively_a spirit_n to_o do_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n profit_v much_o to_o make_v we_o do_v it_o with_o great_a vehemency_n like_a as_o therefore_o the_o hound_n if_o he_o feel_v not_o the_o smell_n of_o the_o hare_n run_v one_o while_o this_o way_n another_o while_n that_o but_o if_o he_o see_v it_o or_o feel_v the_o smell_n theroff_fw-mi be_v move_v and_o run_v to_o it_o with_o great_a speed_n the_o right_a way_n without_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a even_o so_o he_o which_o feel_v not_o in_o christ_n the_o great_a goodness_n of_o god_n be_v move_v to_o work_v now_o by_o this_o worldly_a thing_n and_o then_o by_o that_o but_o he_o which_o feel_v it_o be_v draw_v to_o work_v without_o stray_v with_o a_o right_a purpose_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o which_o as_o our_o supreme_a beatitude_n and_o last_o end_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v always_o before_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o mind_n neither_o ought_v we_o account_v it_o a_o hard_a matter_n to_o hold_v our_o mind_n always_o lyft_v up_o unto_o god_n see_v that_o not_o only_o the_o love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o and_o that_o he_o always_o think_v on_o we_o but_o moreover_o over_o how_o he_o be_v infinite_o good_a have_v make_v himself_o know_v unto_o we_o in_o bestow_v benefit_n upon_o we_o with_o great_a excess_n of_o his_o love_n to_o this_o end_n he_o have_v create_v we_o and_o do_v all_o that_o which_o he_o have_v do_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o know_v he_o for_o our_o first_o beginning_n last_o end_n &_o chief_a happiness_n with_o make_v his_o glory_n shine_v we_o labour_v to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n which_o to_o do_v be_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o so_o honest_a that_o in_o the_o world_n can_v nothing_o be_v do_v in_o itself_o so_o vile_a which_o if_o it_o be_v do_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v not_o glorious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n like_v as_o also_o there_o can_v nothing_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n so_o glorious_a in_o itself_o that_o be_v do_v for_o human_a respect_n be_v not_o most_o abject_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o shall_v give_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v to_o the_o poor_a &_o thy_o body_n to_o the_o fire_n if_o thou_o do_v it_o not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n every_o thing_n be_v lose_v as_o paul_n do_v write_v although_o thou_o can_v not_o serve_v god_n unrewarded_a thou_o ought_v notwithstanding_o serve_v he_o without_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o reward_n but_o only_o to_o serve_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o when_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o purpose_n be_v so_o simple_a sincere_a &_o pure_a all_o the_o body_n of_o our_o work_n be_v light_v and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o hurt_v so_o much_o the_o art_n of_o live_v well_o as_o a_o perverse_a intent_n the_o which_o disorder_v the_o whole_a and_o take_v the_o honour_n from_o god_n make_v man_n idolater_n and_o vain_a inasmuch_o as_o all_o the_o which_o they_o work_v and_o suffer_v and_o not_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v lose_v &_o cast_v away_o yea_o and_o sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o do_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v o_o how_o happy_a be_v we_o if_o all_o that_o we_o have_v suffer_v and_o wrought_v even_o until_o now_o we_o have_v suffer_v and_o
his_o neighbour_n all_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v say_v either_o that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v or_o else_o they_o that_o be_v save_v be_v save_v through_o grace_n but_o it_o be_v great_o amiss_o to_o say_v that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v for_o that_o god_n in_o such_o a_o case_n shall_v in_o vain_a have_v create_v and_o preserve_v the_o world_n if_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v reap_v some_o fruit_n thereof_o wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o some_o man_n be_v save_v and_o that_o by_o grace_n and_o for_o that_o none_o can_v tell_v we_o this_o but_o christ_n in_o as_o much_o as_o all_o other_o sect_n and_o opinyon_n say_v that_o man_n be_v save_v whole_o or_o else_o in_o part_n by_o the_o work_n of_o man_n therefore_o only_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n be_v true_a there_o be_v not_o find_v also_o any_o religion_n which_o do_v not_o in_o some_o part_n exalt_v man_n with_o diminish_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n except_o that_o religion_n which_o be_v of_o christ_n and_o that_o only_o do_v debase_v a_o carnal_a man_n to_o be_v altogether_o earth_n give_v all_o glory_n unto_o god_n and_o forbicause_a this_o religion_n can_v err_v therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v say_v that_o only_o this_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n of_o god_n also_o that_o god_n have_v so_o love_v sinner_n that_o for_o their_o salvation_n he_o have_v appoint_v his_o own_o son_n to_o suffer_v death_n on_o the_o cross_n 3._o joan._n 3._o which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o so_o high_a and_o exceed_a love_n that_o if_o such_o a_o secret_a thing_n god_n as_o a_o truth_n have_v not_o himself_o reveal_v there_o be_v no_o understanding_n that_o be_v able_a to_o believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o needs_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o grant_v that_o albeit_o man_n of_o themselves_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v imagine_v so_o incomprehensible_a a_o love_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a have_v beléeve_v that_o in_o one_o who_o be_v crucify_v consist_v all_o their_o salvation_n &_o that_o he_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n especial_o with_o so_o steadfast_a a_o faith_n that_o for_o this_o truth_n they_o will_v spend_v and_o venture_v their_o own_o life_n if_o god_n have_v not_o persuade_v this_o in_o their_o heart_n we_o must_v then_o needs_o say_v that_o it_o be_v so_o in_o very_a deed_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n see_v he_o will_v be_v so_o account_v he_o shall_v have_v be_v very_o proud_a and_o it_o be_v see_v that_o all_o his_o life_n be_v full_a of_o humility_n it_o can_v not_o be_v hide_v when_o man_n will_v have_v crown_v he_o if_o he_o have_v not_o flee_v away_o 6._o joan._n 6._o but_o have_v seek_v the_o friendship_n of_o great_a man_n and_o the_o mean_n how_o to_o have_v be_v exalt_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o christ_n never_o seek_v any_o commodity_n to_o himself_o alone_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o his_o life_n &_o by_o his_o word_n but_o only_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n wherefore_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v no_o carnal_a man_n but_o altogether_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a and_o so_o be_v his_o life_n and_o doctrine_n it_o be_v also_o manifest_a that_o christ_n willing_o take_v upon_o he_o a_o shameful_a and_o bitter_a death_n and_o he_o see_v that_o in_o die_v so_o he_o shall_v loose_v both_o his_o life_n and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v even_o that_o worldly_a credit_n which_o he_o have_v so_o that_o his_o own_o disciple_n will_v be_v offend_v 26._o

himself_o so_o no_o worldly_a thing_n than_o can_v move_v he_o to_o die_v so_o wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o he_o be_v move_v not_o for_o his_o own_o pleasure_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n and_o for_o our_o salvation_n consider_v all_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n and_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o albeit_o it_o be_v whole_o a_o cross_n yet_o he_o never_o show_v any_o sign_n of_o impatience_n yea_o upon_o the_o cross_n without_o any_o trouble_n of_o the_o flesh_n he_o show_v himself_o divine_a altogether_o even_o till_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n and_o pronounce_v still_o word_n of_o great_a charity_n be_v it_o not_o manifest_a see_v that_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v naked_a spoil_v and_o deprive_v of_o all_o
