himself_o but_o hy_z reason_n of_o he_o who_o figure_n he_o bear_v as_o david_n be_v far_o great_a than_o all_o the_o angel_n when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n ●_o psal_n 2.7_o hebr._n 2._o ●_o this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v say_v the_o apostle_n of_o any_o angel_n and_o yet_o be_v david_n a_o wretched_a sinner_n the_o son_n of_o adam_n even_o as_o well_o as_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o how_o then_o be_v it_o here_o that_o he_o be_v so_o high_o exalt_v as_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v make_v inferior_n unto_o he_o it_o be_v because_o that_o this_o figure_n represent_v the_o majesty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o not_o the_o person_n of_o david_n alone_o we_o must_v then_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o melchisidech_n can_v not_o be_v above_o abram_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o truth_n which_o he_o figure_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v even_o then_o declare_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o faithful_a may_v be_v altogether_o ground_v on_o he_o because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o salvation_n give_v under_o heaven_n from_o the_o beginning_n but_o the_o same_o which_o be_v at_o this_o day_n reveal_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v a_o common_a kind_n of_o blessing_n for_o to_o bless_v be_v oftentimes_o take_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o to_o pray_v as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o one_o common_a man_n bless_v another_o say_n god_n bless_v thou_o as_o when_o we_o salute_v one_o another_o they_o be_v blessing_n this_o be_v the_o common_a phrase_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o there_o be_v a_o singular_a blessing_n which_o be_v reserve_v for_o the_o priest_n and_o therefore_o mark_v why_o it_o be_v so_o often_o say_v in_o the_o law_n the_o priest_n which_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o have_v that_o authority_n give_v they_o thereto_o and_o the_o same_o form_n have_v be_v deliver_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o number_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 1.24.50_o num._n 6.23.24.25_o 26._o luk._n 1.24.50_o thus_o shall_v the_o priest_n bless_v my_o people_n the_o lord_n bless_v you_o and_o keep_v you_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o you_o and_o again_o the_o lord_n be_v favourable_a unto_o you_o and_o grant_v you_o his_o peace_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o form_n the_o lord_n have_v set_v down_o in_o his_o church_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n also_o it_o be_v say_v when_o as_o jesus_n christ_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n that_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n over_o his_o apostle_n as_o the_o priest_n do_v to_o the_o end_n to_o accomplish_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n in_o blessing_n his_o disciple_n this_o then_o be_v the_o blessing_n which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o 7.7_o hebr._n 7.7_o and_o mark_v why_o the_o apostle_n reasonneth_n not_o without_o cause_n that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o melchisedech_n in_o this_o quality_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o abram_n because_o he_o bless_v he_o and_o yet_o be_v abram_n the_o father_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o conclude_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v a_o far_o great_a majesty_n than_o any_o earthly_a majesty_n have_v or_o can_v have_v and_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o mediator_n wherefore_o all_o power_n and_o dignity_n must_v be_v subject_a unto_o he_o and_o regard_v he_o and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v acknowledge_v and_o confess_v that_o god_n his_o father_n have_v give_v unto_o he_o the_o chief_a authority_n even_o in_o this_o humane_a nature_n of_o he_o and_o every_o knee_n must_v how_o and_o kneel_v unto_o he_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o these_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o philippian_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v 2.9.10_o philip_n 2.9.10_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o apply_v these_o word_n to_o our_o own_o use_n &_o benefit_n that_o be_v we_o must_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o melchisedech_n bless_a abram_n in_o a_o figure_n even_o as_o at_o this_o day_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o everlasting_a priest_n bless_v we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n his_o father_n for_o this_o prayer_n which_o be_v here_o set_v down_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a but_o must_v needs_o be_v effectual_a because_o we_o know_v that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o choose_v but_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v hear_v let_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v he_o for_o our_o advocate_n towards_o god_n his_o father_n and_o although_o we_o be_v curse_v in_o adam_n and_o do_v daily_o bring_v a_o new_a curse_n upon_o our_o head_n through_o our_o sin_n &_o transgression_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o shall_v hereby_o be_v blot_v out_o &_o prepare_v in_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n vouchsafe_v in_o deed_n &_o in_o truth_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n to_o bless_v us._n we_o see_v also_o the_o prayer_n which_o he_o once_o make_v in_o the_o gospel_n after_o s._n john_n in_o this_o manner_n holy_a father_n i_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v here_o unto_o thou_o for_o these_o to_o wit_n 21._o joh._n 17.20_o 21._o for_o the_o eleven_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n which_o he_o have_v choose_v unto_o himself_o but_o i_o pray_v also_o for_o all_o those_o which_o shall_v believe_v in_o my_o name_n through_o their_o preach_n that_o they_o may_v all_o be_v one_o in_o i_o as_o i_o be_o one_o in_o thou_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v all_o one_o in_o this_o sort_n do_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n pronounce_v these_o word_n out_o of_o his_o own_o month_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o pray_v not_o for_o his_o disciple_n alone_o which_o be_v of_o his_o own_o company_n but_o also_o for_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v in_o he_o through_o their_o preach_n let_v we_o here_o then_o learn_v that_o when_o soever_o we_o shall_v embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o true_a obedience_n that_o we_o be_v sure_o persuade_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v give_v to_o we_o for_o our_o sovereign_n and_o only_a good_a thus_o we_o see_v how_o powerful_a his_o prayer_n will_v always_o be_v for_o it_o be_v needless_a for_o he_o to_o begin_v the_o same_o at_o evening_n at_o morn_n &_o every_o day_n for_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o he_o have_v seal_v it_o with_o his_o blood_n and_o by_o that_o only_a and_o everlasting_a sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v up_o once_o for_o all_o for_o we_o be_v assure_v to_o have_v our_o prayer_n hear_v when_o as_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o prayer_n shall_v stink_v yea_o &_o infect_v the_o air_n if_o we_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v and_o afterward_o consider_v what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v howbeit_o our_o prayer_n be_v make_v holy_a through_o the_o priestly_a blessing_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n unto_o who_o we_o must_v look_v that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o all_o his_o benefit_n thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n how_o we_o be_v to_o apply_v this_o say_n of_o moses_n unto_o our_o benefit_n and_o the_o build_n up_o of_o our_o faith_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abram_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v bless_v we_o see_v herein_o that_o abram_n as_o of_o himself_o be_v accurse_v since_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o borrow_v the_o priestly_a blessing_n and_o melchisedech_n also_o right_o well_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o misery_n and_o wretchedness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o must_v bless_v we_o and_o that_o we_o must_v embrace_v it_o with_o all_o humility_n if_o we_o will_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o which_o he_o daily_o offer_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o hereupon_o moses_n recite_v the_o blessing_n of_o melchisedech_n bless_a art_n thou_o abram_z say_v he_o of_o god_n most_o high_a possess_a of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o bless_v be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n that_o have_v deliver_v thy_o enemy_n into_o thy_o hand_n he_o bless_a abram_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n as_o we_o have_v already_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o law_n we_o must_v not_o here_o understand_v that_o when_o the_o priest_n have_v the_o office_n to_o bliss_n that_o it_o proceed_v as_o from_o their_o own_o authority_n and_o that_o god_n have_v resign_v his_o office_n over_o unto_o they_o and_o his_o honour_n and_o praise_n to_o be_v thereby_o so_o

be_v to_o gather_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o send_v in_o haste_n unto_o we_o neither_o yet_o that_o god_n determine_v in_o a_o minute_n of_o time_n to_o send_v he_o unto_o we_o for_o our_o redeemer_n for_o he_o be_v already_o the_o very_a true_a redeemer_n although_o he_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n nor_o yet_o manifest_v neither_o yet_o the_o gospel_n publish_v whereupon_o we_o see_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v at_o this_o day_n extend_v itself_o far_o and_o wide_o and_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v build_v uqpon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o in_o he_o be_v their_o hope_n and_o salvation_n to_o be_v short_a that_o be_v a_o help_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v contemn_v but_o when_o we_o shall_v compare_v the_o shadow_n with_o the_o body_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o our_o redemption_n be_v more_o to_o be_v wish_v than_o the_o state_n of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o bless_a be_v the_o eye_n which_o see_v that_o that_o the_o disciple_n have_v see_v for_o many_o king_n and_o prophet_n have_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o enjoy_v such_o a_o fight_n ●4_n luk._n 10._o ●4_n and_o yet_o can_v never_o attain_v unto_o that_o which_o they_o seek_v for_o but_o content_v themselves_o with_o a_o assure_a confidence_n that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o time_n convenient_a as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v see_v when_o as_o jacob_n in_o pass_v out_o of_o this_o life_n say_v i_o shall_v see_v thy_o save_a health_n o_o lord_n 49.18_o gen._n 49.18_o and_o will_v put_v my_o confidence_n therein_o now_o then_o when_o we_o shall_v make_v such_o comparison_n we_o have_v wherewithal_o mighty_o to_o be_v strengthen_v and_o to_o be_v angry_a at_o whatsoever_o the_o devil_n may_v thrust_v in_o to_o withdraw_v we_o from_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o stir_v up_o to_o embrace_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n see_v that_o he_o have_v bring_v the_o full_a and_o perfect_a truth_n of_o that_o which_o be_v figure_v in_o the_o law_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o be_v to_o benefit_n ourselves_o by_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n as_o touch_v melchisedech_n his_o dwell_a place_n it_o be_v most_o like_a to_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v irusalem_n how_o beit_n there_o have_v be_v a_o compound_a word_n jebusalem_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o jebusite_n that_o occupy_v that_o place_n there_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v that_o be_v the_o city_n wherein_o melchisedech_n have_v be_v and_o there_o also_o where_o jesus_n christ_n exercise_v his_o office_n of_o priesthood_n not_o only_a when_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o also_o when_o he_o be_v crucify_v for_o we_o and_o offer_v up_o a_o holy_a oblation_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o he_o for_o ever_o and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o of_o all_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o now_o prostrate_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majestic_a of_o our_o good_a god_n in_o acknowledge_v our_o offence_n beseech_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o his_o mercy_n and_o see_v that_o we_o be_v condemn_v as_o of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o redeemer_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o curse_n in_o which_o

be_v king_n over_o the_o people_n shall_v also_o be_v a_o priest_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n be_v very_o spare_v and_o careful_a of_o his_o name_n and_o cast_v it_o not_o out_o at_o all_o

profitable_a for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o he_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v also_o have_v the_o title_n both_o of_o a_o king_n &_o a_o priest_n and_o in_o deed_n if_o we_o shall_v separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o faith_n that_o we_o have_v in_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v very_o weak_a and_o shall_v have_v no_o certain_a nor_o firm_a foundation_n for_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n requisite_a to_o our_o salvation_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n accept_v we_o as_o rightuous_a and_o vow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v guide_v by_o his_o hand_n and_o maintain_v and_o warrant_v by_o his_o invincible_a power_n if_o we_o shall_v take_v but_o one_o of_o these_o point_n we_o shall_v understand_v it_o but_o by_o half_n and_o mark_v how_o put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o will_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o our_o sin_n yet_o if_o the_o devil_n have_v power_n over_o we_o and_o we_o leave_v as_o a_o prey_n unto_o all_o the_o assault_n wherewith_o he_o shall_v assail_v we_o how_o can_v it_o otherwise_o be_v but_o that_o we_o must_v be_v most_o miserable_a castaway_n on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o god_n shall_v display_v his_o power_n for_o our_o defence_n and_o yet_o we_o not_o reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o not_o repute_v and_o hold_v to_o be_v righteous_a and_o just_a no_o doubt_n of_o it_o but_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o still_o come_v to_o reckon_n and_o then_o woe_n unto_o we_o when_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v without_o mercy_n but_o we_o know_v that_o all_o our_o righteousness_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o have_v bury_v all_o our_o offence_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v both_o a_o king_n and_o a_o priest_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v on_o the_o one_o side_n make_v a_o atonement_n

to_o abram_n his_o own_o good_n for_o see_v he_o receive_v no_o part_n of_o the_o spoil_n to_o benefit_n himself_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o he_o mean_v to_o give_v unto_o melchisedech_n that_o thing_n which_o lee_n take_v not_o to_o be_v his_o own_o but_o he_o have_v another_o manner_n of_o reason_n &_o diversity_n of_o his_o acknowledgement_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o apply_v the_o benefit_n unto_o his_o own_o use_n for_o the_o enrich_n of_o himself_o nevertheless_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o we_o hold_v that_o which_o i●_n certain_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o abram_n protest_v that_o he_o acknowledge_v melchisedech_n to_o be_v god_n priest_n for_o if_o he_o have_v serve_v idol_n or_o usurp_v any_o dignity_n which_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o abram_z have_v do_v very_o ill_o in_o give_v he_o tithe_n because_o we_o know_v that_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n unto_o idol_n be_v to_o honour_v they_o and_o to_o forsake_v god_n this_o oblation_n then_o of_o abram_n must_v needs_o testify_v and_o approve_v the_o priesthood_n of_o melchisedech_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v why_o the_o apostle_n compare_v the_o ancient_a priesthood_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o priesthood_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n say_v 7.9.10_o hebr._n 7.9.10_o that_o levy_n which_o be_v yet_o in_o abraham_n loin_n pay_v tithe_n that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v subject_a to_o that_o law_n we_o may_v also_o allege_v the_o like_a of_o judah_n of_o who_o our_o saviour_n christ_n come_v howbeit_o that_o be_v easy_o answer_v to_o wit_n that_o melchisedech_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o represent_v he_o and_o that_o all_o the_o excellency_n which_o in_o he_o depend_v hereon_o in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n by_o great_a reason_n show_v that_o he_o to_o who_o the_o right_a of_o tithe_n by_o the_o law_n appertein_v be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o under_o melchisedech_n we_o must_v therefore_o from_o hence_o conclude_v that_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o ever_o be_v aaron_n or_o yet_o all_o his_o successor_n albeit_o they_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n separate_v as_o it_o be_v from_o the_o company_n of_o man_n and_o when_o the_o priest_n have_v all_o his_o priestly_a

and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n far_o excel_v he_o in_o honour_n and_o must_v be_v exalt_v above_o all_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n that_o man_n thereby_o may_v see_v he_o to_o be_v the_o very_a truth_n and_o substance_n of_o they_o all_o and_o that_o although_o man_n do_v take_v all_o the_o shadow_n that_o ever_o be_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o shall_v they_o profit_v nothing_o and_o shall_v be_v all_o of_o none_o effect_n except_o they_o come_v to_o the_o true_a pattern_n let_v we_o therefore_o well_o consider_v that_o when_o abram_n offer_v all_o the_o tithe_n to_o melchisedech_n that_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o although_o god_n shall_v establish_v soon_o after_o a_o order_n of_o priesthood_n in_o his_o people_n yet_o that_o it_o do_v no_o whit_n derogate_v from_o the_o

moreover_o as_o concern_v the_o give_n of_o tithe_n unto_o the_o priest_n we_o see_v that_o abran_n do_v it_o before_o there_o be_v any_o law_n write_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o induce_v he_o and_o prick_v he_o forward_o thereunto_o for_o moses_n do_v not_o recite_v here_o this_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n do_v at_o rando●_n &_o without_o reason_n but_o rather_o declare_v that_o god_n ratify_v the_o office_n of_o melchisedech_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o mean_v to_o make_v he_o his_o priest_n and_o that_o abram_n acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v so_o howbeit_o we_o must_v not_o from_o hence_o gather_v that_o there_o be_v any_o general_a law_n for_o the_o same_o ne_o yet_o that_o the_o faithful_a be_v bind_v to_o

they_o who_o be_v to_o take_v possession_n thereof_o 12.7_o gen._n 12.7_o as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o abram_n thy_o seed_n shall_v possess_v the_o land_n levy_n shall_v have_v be_v a_o chief_a man_n

successor_n be_v recompense_v with_o tithe_n now_o god_n do_v this_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v because_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v distract_v neither_o from_o the_o service_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n ne_o yet_o from_o doctrine_n for_o god_n choose_v not_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n for_o perform_v of_o the_o ceremony_n only_o but_o for_o another_o reason_n of_o which_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n speak_v 2.7_o mala._n 2.7_o that_o be_v he_o ordain_v they_o to_o be_v his_o ambassador_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v demand_v from_o their_o lip_n the_o true_a knowledge_n &_o pure_a enterpretation_n of_o the_o law_n wherefore_o because_o the_o priest_n may_v have_v leisure_n enough_o to_o attend_v upon_o the_o service_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o to_o teach_v the_o people_n the_o tithe_n be_v appoint_v for_o they_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o be_v they_o disperse_v all_o the_o country_n over_o they_o have_v no_o several_a and_o proper_a pertition_n to_o say_v that_o they_o may_v dwell_v in_o any_o one_o certain_a country_n as_o the_o rest_n do_v but_o be_v sow_v here_o and_o there_o to_o the_o end_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o corner_n in_o the_o world_n where_o god_n not_o will_v have_v his_o messenger_n &_o lawyer_n to_o keep_v his_o people_n in_o awe_n here_o i_o say_v we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o have_v the_o tithe_n and_o not_o busy_v themselves_o about_o till_v and_o sow_v of_o the_o earth_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o if_o they_o have_v possess_v the_o earth_n god_n have_v not_o be_v know_v to_o be_v lord_n and_o master_n as_o he_o be_v when_o as_o leviticall_a priest_n be_v become_v as_o it_o be_v his_o receiver_n and_o have_v send_v they_o in_o his_o

receive_v that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o by_o succession_n and_o inheritance_n of_o their_o father_n abram_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n as_o it_o be_v will_v seem_v to_o show_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v he_o &_o keep_v the_o propriety_n thereof_o unto_o himself_o &_o

abominable_a hellish_a mass_n of_o they_o they_o be_v so_o mad_a withal_o as_o that_o to_o they_o it_o be_v a_o far_o great_a offence_n once_o to_o swear_v by_o that_o idol_n the_o mass_n then_o to_o

renounce_v our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v now_o already_o show_v that_o the_o son_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o father_n and_o have_v reject_v he_o they_o have_v shut_v themselves_o clean_o out_o of_o the_o door_n and_o forsake_v the_o principal_a covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o they_o to_o wit_n because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o

be_v even_o from_o abram_n his_o time_n we_o see_v here_o then_o why_o he_o call_v he_o the_o eternal_a and_o soon_o alter_v the_o most_o high_a god_n because_o he_o will_v discern_v he_o from_o the_o

nothing_o else_o but_o brag_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o great_a divine_n in_o the_o world_n when_o as_o they_o have_v make_v a_o distinction_n forsooth_o between_o unform_v and_o form_v faith_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v a_o god_n in_o who_o be_v no_o power_n nor_o virtue_n &_o then_o a_o god_n who_o show_v himself_o powerful_a and_o just_a and_o thus_o have_v they_o forge_v unto_o themselves_o a_o double_a faith_n and_o why_o then_o do_v s._n james_n use_v here_o this_o word_n and_o why_o do_v we_o use_v this_o word_n church_n this_o word_n bishop_n this_o say_v god_n service_n devotion_n &_o zeal_n but_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o papist_n we_o never_o yield_v unto_o they_o in_o truth_n that_o they_o have_v any_o church_n which_o be_v to_o be_v obey_v for_o in_o deed_n they_o have_v nothing_o but_o some_o ruin_n of_o a_o church_n and_o a_o certain_a canvas_v and_o toss_v of_o service_n of_o their_o own_o devise_v and_o as_o they_o think_v to_o serve_v god_n withal_o but_o that_o be_v the_o church_n where_o god_n dwell_v by_o his_o word_n afterwards_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o they_o we_o use_v honourable_a word_n and_o yet_o our_o meaning_n be_v none_o other_o but_o that_o they_o usurp_v these_o title_n with_o jolly_a show_n &_o mark_n howbeit_o we_o do_v not_o altogether_o stand_v upon_o word_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n deal_v s._n james_n for_o he_o stand_v not_o upon_o the_o word_n but_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o frivolous_a vaunt_v which_o be_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o these_o scoffer_n that_o will_v be_v take_v for_o good_a christian_n &_o say_v your_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n which_o you_o talk_v of_o be_v nothing_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v ask_v the_o question_n at_o this_o day_n what_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n which_o the_o papist_n so_o brag_v of_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o very_a harlot_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v the_o spouse_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v purge_v and_o wash_v with_o his_o blood_n 3.15_o eph._n 5.27_o 1._o tim._n 3.15_o that_o she_o may_v be_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n and_o after_o that_o to_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o in_o steed_n hereof_o behold_v a_o den_n of_o the_o eve_n and_o a_o harlot_n which_o have_v corrupt_v all_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o beget_v nothing_o but_o bastard_n thus_o shall_v we_o say_v and_o then_o we_o see_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v saint_n james_n his_o phrase_n of_o reason_v to_o be_v strange_a because_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a and_o common_a thing_n among_o us._n we_o now_o then_o first_o see_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n justifi_v we_o we_o speak_v not_o of_o faith_n but_o after_o the_o accustom_a manner_n but_o when_o saint_n james_n say_v that_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a it_o be_v to_o bar_v such_o as_o abuse_v this_o name_n and_o have_v a_o jollity_n to_o brag_v and_o glory_n thereof_o but_o in_o deed_n have_v it_o not_o let_v we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o part_n when_o saint_n james_n say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o work_n it_o shall_v by_o this_o seem_v that_o he_o be_v contrary_a unto_o saint_n paul_n now_o work_n must_v not_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n to_o part_v half_a stake_n with_o it_o as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o than_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v certain_a and_o sure_a and_o therefore_o all_o consideration_n of_o our_o work_n must_v needs_o be_v exclude_v or_o the_o call_n upon_o god_n with_o true_a confidence_n to_o be_v take_v for_o his_o child_n to_o hope_v for_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n which_o be_v promise_v we_o work_n must_v needs_o be_v lay_v aside_o for_o what_o be_v it_o if_o work_v justify_v now_o this_o word_n justify_v be_v not_o take_v in_o saint_n james_n to_o be_v approve_v before_o god_n to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o to_o make_v he_o receive_v we_o as_o his_o child_n how_o be_v it_o then_o take_v even_o as_o himself_o declare_v it_o without_o any_o other_o exposition_n for_o he_o add_v that_o abram_n be_v justify_v when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n isahack_n now_o we_o never_o yet_o read_v that_o he_o sacrifice_v he_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o mean_v to_o make_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o son_n unto_o god_n what_o mean_v he_o then_o forsooth_o this_o obedience_n whereof_o we_o shall_v hereafter_o speak_v be_v it_o that_o justify_v abram_n if_o we_o do_v speak_v of_o the_o approve_v of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v at_o that_o time_n do_v and_o be_v yet_o not_o indeed_o do_v we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o saint_n james_n speak_v not_o in_o that_o place_n how_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n but_o how_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a for_o what_o a_o blockish_a speech_n be_v this_o to_o say_v that_o the_o son_n have_v beget_v the_o father_n now_o we_o right_o well_o know_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o mean_a and_o instrument_n by_o which_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n and_o allow_v for_o his_o child_n and_o therefore_o faith_n must_v go_v before_o righteousness_n for_o it_o be_v the_o mean_a cause_n the_o instrumental_a or_o formal_a cause_n as_o we_o call_v it_o let_v we_o now_o come_v unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o abram_n when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n for_o if_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o abram_n his_o righteousness_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o it_o go_v before_o for_o what_o a_o doltish_a speech_n be_v this_o to_o say_v that_o the_o corn_n that_o shall_v grow_v a_o year_n hence_o shall_v feed_v i_o from_o this_o day_n until_o this_o time_n twelue_v month_n now_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o child_n in_o the_o world_n which_o see_v not_o this_o now_o there_o be_v a_o long_a time_n part_n before_o god_n command_v abram_n to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o justify_v before_o we_o see_v then_o in_o sum_n that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o look_v for_o any_o gloze_n out_o of_o saint_n james_n his_o word_n he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v show_v to_o be_v justify_v for_o these_o scoffer_n against_o who_o he_o contend_v say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o what_o need_v we_o to_o take_v any_o great_a care_n to_o serve_v god_n see_v our_o work_n be_v of_o no_o worth_a neither_o any_o reckon_n be_v make_v of_o they_o in_o time_n to_o come_v now_o first_o and_o foremost_a they_o pervert_v all_o in_o say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o reckon_n make_v of_o work_n for_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o account_n with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n but_o when_o they_o shall_v scoff_o say_v that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o do_v good_a work_n be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o will_v tear_v jesus_n christ_n in_o piece_n for_o by_o faith_n we_o receive_v he_o and_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o his_o father_n put_v away_o our_o sin_n and_o regenerate_v and_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o these_o be_v inseparable_a thing_n as_o we_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n paul_n see_v then_o it_o be_v so_o saint_n james_n have_v good_a cause_n to_o say_v how_o can_v you_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n for_o faith_n say_v he_o without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o beside_o if_o you_o be_v the_o faithful_a child_n of_o god_n you_o can_v be_v none_o otherwise_o justify_v than_o your_o father_n abram_n be_v now_o abram_n be_v so_o justify_v as_o that_o good_a work_n be_v join_v with_o faith_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v
