a_o likelihood_n that_o the_o same_o man_n believe_v neither_o of_o they_o both_o which_o demand_v the_o practice_n or_o experience_n of_o they_o but_o who_o soever_o believe_v true_o and_o sincere_o know_v this_o for_o a_o more_o surety_n than_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o further_a advertisement_n thereof_o that_o be_v that_o chryst_n do_v once_o descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o ascend_v thither_o again_o and_o now_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n both_o which_o be_v most_o true_a though_o we_o do_v not_o now_o see_v they_o with_o our_o bodily_a eye_n also_o that_o he_o descend_v into_o the_o hell_n and_o from_o thence_o return_v again_o and_o still_o live_v though_o the_o same_o be_v unknown_a to_o our_o outward_a sense_n yet_o it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o all_o this_o be_v once_o do_v &_o fulfil_v therefore_o nothing_o else_o now_o remain_v to_o we_o and_o to_o all_o those_o that_o do_v see_v these_o thing_n bring_v to_o pass_v with_o their_o own_o eye_n but_o only_o to_o believe_v his_o holy_a gospel_n and_o we_o need_v not_o seek_v very_o far_o to_o here_o the_o truth_n of_o all_o this_o for_o the_o jew_n themselves_o do_v behold_v and_o see_v it_o fulfil_v and_o yet_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o howbeit_o there_o be_v many_o that_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o do_v not_o see_v it_o and_o yet_o they_o believe_v it_o neither_o be_v there_o conceal_a or_o hide_v from_o we_o among_o the_o whole_a scripture_n any_o one_o part_n of_o this_o point_n but_o they_o do_v witness_v the_o same_o and_o bid_v we_o to_o have_v recourse_n unto_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o very_a certainty_n thereof_o and_o say_v thus_o to_o we_o the_o word_n be_v near_o unto_o thou_o even_o in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o what_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o scripture_n here_o speak_v of_o very_o even_o the_o only_a word_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o bring_v with_o it_o perfect_a health_n and_o be_v now_o preach_v of_o we_o who_o chryst_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o same_o purpose_n heart_n but_o how_o be_v it_o in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thine_o heart_n it_o be_v very_o in_o thy_o mouth_n if_o thou_o do_v confess_v with_o thy_o mouth_n and_o acknowledge_v unto_o all_o man_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n be_v already_o come_v and_o have_v suffer_v for_o we_o and_o it_o be_v in_o thine_o heart_n if_o thou_o do_v believe_v unfeigned_o with_o all_o thine_o heart_n that_o god_n have_v restore_v he_o again_o unto_o everlasting_a life_n that_o we_o hereafter_o may_v die_v with_o he_o to_o our_o sin_n and_o evermore_o to_o live_v with_o he_o for_o the_o desert_n sake_n of_o his_o passion_n death_n &_o resurrection_n for_o in_o our_o heart_n be_v our_o right_a belief_n which_o belief_n be_v the_o true_a &_o uncounterfeited_a key_n to_o open_v the_o door_n unto_o righteousness_n notwithstanding_o because_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o glorify_v god_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o conceive_v this_o faith_n in_o our_o heart_n but_o also_o to_o acknowledge_v &_o confess_v christ_n amongst_o man_n with_o our_o mouth_n if_o we_o will_v come_v to_o our_o perfect_v health_n and_o salvation_n but_o in_o all_o these_o you_o clear_o see_v that_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o matter_n depend_v not_o upon_o the_o law_n and_o ceremony_n but_o only_o upon_o true_a faith_n in_o chryst_n the_o which_o esaias_n the_o prophet_n witness_v where_o he_o speak_v of_o chryst_n 28._o who_o soever_o say_v he_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a in_o which_o word_n we_o must_v diligent_o mark_v that_o whereas_o the_o prophet_n say_v who_o soever_o shall_v believe_v he_o plain_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n but_o mean_v they_o all_o indifferent_o also_o whereas_o he_o say_v shall_v believe_v he_o mean_v not_o circumcision_n or_o any_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n but_o utter_o exclude_v all_o the_o
