here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o that_o in_o the_o ladder_n that_o be_v show_v unto_o jacob_n 12._o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n stand_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o and_o touch_v both_o heaven_n and_o

christ_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o our_o concord_n and_o that_o god_n allow_v it_o because_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o his_o word_n saint_n paul_n then_o mean_v here_o too_o put_v a_o difference_n

which_o be_v corrupt_v with_o earthly_a lust_n even_o according_a too_o the_o conversation_n that_o you_o have_v lead_v heretofore_o he_o express_v yet_o better_a that_o all_o they_o which_o vaunt_v

you_o will_v say_v two_o wellspring_n of_o mankind_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n adam_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o first_o birth_n we_o come_v all_o out_o

too_o be_v short_a he_o shall_v tend_v all_o whole_o unto_o evil_n for_o we_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o old_a man_n lest_o we_o shall_v

unthrift_n for_o a_o time_n they_o will_v say_v he_o must_v cast_v his_o old_a skin_n but_o here_o saint_n paul_n pass_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o our_o like_n be_v utter_o untoward_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o uprightness_n in_o we_o that_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n be_v rebellious_a against_o

here_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n in_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o in_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n for_o needs_o must_v all_o that_o be_v our_o own_o be_v lay_v down_o before_o god_n take_v in_o hand_n the_o guide_n of_o we_o and_o why_o for_o our_o thought_n and_o

must_v be_v cut_v of_o before_o god_n do_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o which_o also_o be_v the_o very_a order_n that_o

the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o damnation_n and_o endless_a death_n and_o that_o his_o offering_n of_o himself_o have_v

his_o holy_a spirit_n according_a too_o this_o say_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o grace_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o of_o we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o he_o and_o

what_o plight_n have_v i_o bring_v myself_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v 11._o and_o that_o be_v the_o sorrow_n that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o which_o we_o must_v not_o shun_v but_o if_o we_o nevertheless_o go_v on_o still_o in_o evil_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o take_v pleasure_n in_o drive_v and_o chase_v away_o of_o god_n spirit_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v we_o provoke_v

the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v we_o but_o we_o must_v come_v too_o the_o consider_v of_o every_o of_o we_o by_o himself_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o engrave_v the_o belief_n of_o his_o gospel_n
