labour_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o end_n for_o whosoever_o have_v say_v the_o lord_n himself_o in_o the_o gospel_n to_o he_o shall_v be_v give_v that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o more_o abundance_n

that_o end_n for_o the_o which_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v give_v and_o reveal_v unto_o we_o but_o as_o touch_v that_o matter_n we_o will_v say_v somewhat_o more_o when_o we_o come_v to_o declare_v in_o what_o manner_n of_o sort_n the_o word_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v hear_v now_o because_o i_o have_v say_v that_o scripture_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o it_o may_v full_o instruct_v we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n i_o will_v in_o few_o word_n declare_v unto_o you_o dear_o belove_v that_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v to_o we_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v abundant_o contain_v the_o whole_a effect_n of_o godliness_n and_o what_o thing_n soever_o be_v available_a to_o the_o lead_n of_o our_o life_n right_o well_o and_o holy_o for_o very_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o that_o doctrine_n be_v full_a and_o in_o all_o point_n perfect_a to_o which_o nothing_o ought_v either_o to_o be_v add_v or_o else_o to_o be_v take_v away_o but_o such_o a_o doctrine_n be_v the_o doctrine_n teach_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o witness_v moses_n deuter._n 4._o &_o 12._o and_o solomon_n proverb_n 30._o what_o be_v he_o therefore_o that_o do_v not_o confess_v that_o all_o point_n of_o true_a piety_n be_v teach_v we_o in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n furthermore_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v that_o to_o be_v a_o most_o absolute_a doctrine_n by_o which_o a_o man_n be_v so_o full_o make_v perfect_a that_o in_o this_o world_n he_o may_v be_v take_v for_o a_o just_a man_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o

thereafter_o be_v call_v a_o just_a man_n and_o heir_n of_o life_n everlasting_a that_o doctrine_n therefore_o be_v a_o absolute_a doctrine_n for_o paul_n also_o declare_v more_o large_o and_o full_o the_o same_o matter_n 3._o say_v all_o scripture_n give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n be_v profitable_a to_o doctrine_n to_o reprove_v to_o correction_n to_o instruction_n which_o be_v in_o righteousness_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v perfect_a instruct_v to_o all_o good_a work_n you_o have_v brethren_n a_o evident_a testimony_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o have_v a_o doctrine_n absolute_o perfect_a in_o all_o point_n you_o have_v a_o most_o perfect_a effect_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o by_o this_o doctrine_n the_o man_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o godly_a and_o devout_a worshipper_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a be_v instruct_v not_o to_o a_o certain_a few_o good_a work_n but_o unto_o all_o and_o every_o good_a work_n wherein_o therefore_o cause_v thou_o find_v any_o want_n i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o any_o one_o be_v such_o a_o sot_n as_o to_o interpret_v these_o word_n of_o paul_n to_o be_v speak_v only_o touch_v the_o old_a testament_n see_v it_o be_v more_o manifest_a than_o the_o day_n light_n that_o paul_n apply_v they_o to_o his_o scholar_n timothy_n who_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o so_o be_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v of_o itself_o full_a by_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v it_o be_v the_o full_a if_o the_o volume_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v add_v there_o unto_o i_o be_o not_o so_o ignorant_a but_o that_o i_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n both_o do_v write_v and_o speak_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o write_v by_o the_o apostle_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o absolute_o perfect_a for_o john_n the_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n do_v free_o confess_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v many_o other_o thing_n also_o which_o be_v not_o write_v in_o his_o book_n but_o immediate_o he_o add_v this_o and_o say_v but_o these_o be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o in_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v life_n through_o his_o name_n he_o affirm_v by_o this_o doctrine_n which_o he_o contain_v in_o writing_n that_o faith_n be_v full_o teach_v and_o that_o through_o faith_n there_o be_v grant_v by_o god_n everlasting_a life_n but_o the_o end_n of_o absolute_a doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v happy_a and_o perfect_o bless_v since_o then_o that_o that_o come_v to_o man_n by_o the_o write_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n undoubted_o that_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v most_o absolute_o perfect_a i_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v i_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o tell_v you_o but_o at_o this_o time_n you_o can_v not_o bear_v they_o but_o therewithal_o i_o know_v to_o that_o he_o immediate_o add_v this_o say_n but_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n shall_v come_v he_o shall_v lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n i_o know_v furthermore_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n do_v come_v upon_o his_o disciple_n and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v that_o they_o according_a to_o the_o true_a promise_n of_o christ_n be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n so_o that_o it_o be_v most_o assure_o certain_a that_o nothing_o be_v want_v in_o they_o but_o some_o there_o be_v which_o when_o godliness_n they_o can_v not_o deny_v this_o do_v turn_v themselves_o and_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o deed_n know_v all_o thing_n but_o yet_o teach_v they_o not_o but_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n only_o not_o set_v down_o in_o write_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v appertain_v to_o true_a godliness_n as_o though_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o christ_n his_o most_o faithful_a apostle_n will_v upon_o spite_n have_v keep_v back_o any_o thing_n from_o their_o posterity_n as_o though_o in_o deed_n he_o have_v lie_v which_o say_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o in_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v life_n everlasting_a john_n therefore_o do_v let_v pass_v nothing_o which_o belong_v to_o our_o full_a instruct_v in_o the_o faith_n luke_n do_v omit_v nothing_o neither_o do_v the_o

more_o full_o to_o be_v teach_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o salvation_n those_o thing_n undoubted_o will_v he_o have_v teach_v and_o not_o have_v rehearse_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n so_o many_o

his_o knowledge_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n god_n say_v he_o by_o revelation_n show_v the_o mystery_n unto_o i_o as_o i_o write_v before_o in_o few_o word_n whereby_o when_o you_o read_v you_o

the_o day_n of_o judgement_n make_v mention_n rather_o of_o work_n than_o of_o faith_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o point_n or_o usual_a custom_n in_o the_o law_n for_o judgement_n not_o only_o to_o be_v just_a but_o also_o by_o the_o judge_n pronunciation_n to_o have_v the_o cause_n make_v manifest_a to_o all_o man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v just_a and_o god_n do_v deal_v with_o we_o after_o the_o order_n of_o man_n wherefore_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v just_a judgement_n but_o will_v also_o be_v know_v of_o all_o man_n to_o be_v a_o just_a and_o upright_o judge_n but_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o man_n which_o do_v consist_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v by_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n honest_a word_n and_o work_n bear_v witness_n of_o a_o faithful_a heart_n whereas_o unhonest_a prank_n and_o speech_n do_v bewray_v a_o kind_n of_o unbelief_n the_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o humanity_n do_v declare_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o deed_n whereas_o the_o lack_n of_o they_o do_v argue_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n admonish_v we_o that_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o our_o work_n to_o this_o sense_n agree_v that_o in_o the_o 12._o of_o matthew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o thy_o deed_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o same_o thou_o shall_v be_v condemn_v to_o abraham_n after_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o offer_v his_o son_n isaac_n it_o be_v say_v because_o thou_o have_v do_v this_o thing_n and_o have_v not_o spare_v thine_o only_o beget_v son_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o multiply_v thou_o exceed_o etc_n etc_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n make_v that_o promise_n to_o abraham_n before_o isaac_n be_v bear_v yea_o he_o make_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o abraham_n be_v bring_v out_o of_o his_o country_n therefore_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o now_o first_o of_o all_o annex_v as_o a_o reward_n unto_o the_o work_n of_o abraham_n etc_n etc_n therefore_o god_n examine_v our_o work_n work_n according_a to_o his_o own_o favourable_a mercy_n and_o not_o with_o the_o extremity_n and_o rigour_n of_o law_n and_o do_v reward_v they_o with_o infinite_a benefit_n because_o they_o proceed_v from_o faith_n in_o christ_n albeit_o that_o for_o the_o sin_n which_o abide_v in_o we_o they_o be_v unpure_a &_o nothing_o meritorious_a

reason_n of_o that_o first_o corruption_n which_o root_n bring_v forth_o a_o corrupt_a branch_n in_o nature_n like_o unto_o itself_o which_o branch_n satan_n even_o now_o as_o he_o have_v do_v always_o do_v by_o his_o sleight_n subtlety_n and_o lie_v cherish_v tend_v and_o tender_a as_o a_o imp_n of_o his_o own_o plant_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o labour_v in_o vain_a unless_o we_o

add_v two_o most_o evident_a testimony_n the_o one_o out_o of_o the_o write_n of_o the_o evangelist_n the_o other_o out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o begin_v and_o stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n because_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o when_o he_o speak_v a_o lie_n he_o speak_v 8._o of_o his_o own_o because_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o gather_v that_o evil_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o devil_n who_o be_v create_v in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n do_v not_o stand_v fast_o in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n but_o degenerate_v from_o his_o nature_n wherein_o he_o be_v make_v good_a and_o fall_v into_o another_o nature_n corrupt_a and_o wicked_a and_o have_v out_o of_o himself_o disperse_v all_o evil_a as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o history_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n into_o the_o world_n to_o wit_v murder_n and_o lie_n under_o which_o two_o be_v comprehend_v all_o other_o evil_n of_o which_o he_o be_v express_o say_v to_o be_v the_o father_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n the_o author_n the_o wellspring_n and_o beginning_n not_o because_o he_o be_v make_v such_o a_o one_o of_o god_n but_o because_o he_o stand_v not_o fast_o in_o the_o truth_n to_o they_o therefore_o that_o do_v demand_v of_o what_o beginning_n satan_n come_v and_o whether_o god_n make_v he_o or_o no_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n in_o deed_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n and_o those_o also_o which_o afterward_o do_v become_v reprobate_n and_o wicked_a devil_n but_o we_o do_v not_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o evil_a do_v redound_v to_o god_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n good_a for_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o make_v be_v good_a furthermore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v that_o he_o revolt_v from_o the_o truth_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v revolt_v if_o he_o have_v never_o stand_v in_o it_o therefore_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v place_v all_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o truth_n he_o require_v of_o they_o truth_n faith_n or_o fidelity_n and_o the_o duty_n that_o they_o ought_v he_o which_o they_o be_v able_a to_o have_v do_v if_o they_o themselves_o will_v but_o they_o do_v disloyal_o fall_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o sin_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n testify_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n of_o their_o falsehood_n and_o of_o all_o their_o naughtiness_n be_v not_o in_o god_n but_o in_o the_o rebellious_a and_o revolt_a angel._n for_o since_o the_o time_n of_o his_o fall_n there_o be_v no_o truth_n no_o fidelity_n no_o integrity_n no_o fear_n of_o god_n no_o light_n or_o goodness_n to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o therefore_o true_o say_v saint_n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o sinner_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n to_o this_o also_o may_v this_o note_n be_v add_v that_o of_o peter_n and_o john_n the_o devil_n be_v say_v to_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n therefore_o god_n will_v not_o have_v have_v he_o perish_v whereupon_o since_o he_o perish_v it_o follow_v that_o he_o perish_v not_o by_o the_o fault_n of_o god_n but_o by_o his_o own_o fault_n let_v we_o now_o hear_v the_o other_o testimony_n concern_v the_o corrupt_a will_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o cause_n of_o sin_n saint_n james_n the_o apostle_n say_v let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v i_o be_o tempt_v of_o god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v

from_o all_o fault_n of_o sin_n and_o do_v derive_v it_o of_o we_o ourselves_o show_v by_o the_o way_n the_o beginning_n and_o proceed_v of_o sin_n neither_o do_v james_n in_o this_o place_n gainsay_v the_o place_n in_o genesis_n where_o moses_n say_v god_n tempt_v abraham_n for_o in_o moses_n to_o tempt_v do_v signify_v to_o make_v a_o trial_n or_o a_o proof_n but_o in_o this_o argument_n of_o
