place_n only_o to_o christ_n let_v he_o only_o reign_v in_o righteousness_n in_o peace_n in_o joy_n and_o life_n that_o the_o conscience_n may_v sleep_v and_o repose_v itself_o joyful_o in_o christ_n

blasphemous_a term_n to_o the_o law_n which_o be_v a_o divine_a doctrine_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n to_o this_o paul_n answer_v that_o the_o law_n be_v both_o holy_a death_n just_a and_o good_a and_o also_o the_o ministry_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n but_o in_o diverse_a respect_n before_o christ_n it_o be_v holy_a after_o christ_n it_o be_v death_n therefore_o when_o christ_n be_v come_v we_o ought_v to_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o law_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o this_o respect_n that_o it_o have_v power_n and_o dominion_n over_o the_o flesh_n to_o bridle_v it_o and_o to_o keep_v

among_o all_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o law_n the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n 3.6_o weak_a and_o beggarly_a element_n the_o strength_n of_o sin_n the_o letter_n that_o kill_v etc_n etc_n the_o

the_o apostle_n 9.15_o christ_n call_v he_o a_o elect_a vessel_n and_o therefore_o give_v unto_o he_o a_o exquisite_a utterance_n and_o a_o singular_a kind_n of_o speech_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o he_o as_o a_o elect_a vessel_n may_v faithful_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o article_n of_o justification_n and_o clear_o set_v forth_o the_o same_o verse_n 4._o but_o after_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v come_v god_n send_v his_o son_n make_v or_o bear_v of_o a_o woman_n make_v under_o the_o law_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v they_o which_o be_v under_o

which_o for_o we_o sinner_n be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n to_o redeem_v we_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n in_o these_o word_n he_o comprehend_v both_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n his_o person_n consist_v of_o his_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n this_o he_o show_v plain_o when_o he_o say_v god_n send_v his_o own_o son_n bear_v of_o a_o woman_n christ_n therefore_o be_v very_a god_n and_o very_a man_n his_o office_n he_o set_v out_o in_o these_o word_n be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n to_o redeem_v they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n etc_n etc_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o paul_n here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o reproach_n call_v the_o virgin_n marry_o but_o only_o a_o woman_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o well_o take_v even_o of_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n who_o will_v that_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v call_v she_o a_o virgin_n than_o a_o woman_n virgin_n but_o paul_n intreat_v in_o this_o epistle_n of_o the_o most_o high_a &_o principal_a matter_n of_o all_o to_o wit_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o faith_n of_o christian_a righteousness_n also_o what_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n be_v what_o be_v his_o office_n what_o he_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o &_o do_v for_o our_o cause_n &_o what_o benefit_n he_o have_v bring_v to_o we_o wretched_a sinner_n wherefore_o the_o excellency_n of_o so_o high_a &_o so_o wonderful_a a_o matter_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o her_o virginity_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o to_o set_v forth_o &_o preach_v the_o inestimable_a mercy_n of_o god_n which_o will_v that_o his_o son_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o that_o sex_n therefore_o he_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o sex_n but_o only_o of_o the_o sex_n and_o in_o that_o he_o name_v the_o sex_n he_o signify_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v true_a and_o very_a man_n of_o womankind_n as_o if_o he_o say_v he_o be_v bear_v not_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n but_o only_o of_o womankind_n therefore_o when_o he_o name_v but_o only_o the_o womankind_n say_v make_v of_o a_o woman_n 14_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v make_v of_o a_o virgin_n john_n the_o evangelist_n when_o he_o thus_o set_v forth_o the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n &_o be_v make_v flesh_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o his_o mother_n furthermore_o this_o place_n also_o witness_v that_o christ_n when_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v accomplish_v do_v abolish_v the_o same_o and_o so_o bring_v liberty_n to_o those_o that_o be_v oppress_v therewith_o but_o make_v no_o new_a law_n after_o or_o beside_o that_o old_a law_n of_o moses_n wherefore_o the_o monk_n and_o popish_a schoolman_n do_v no_o less_o err_v and_o blaspheme_v christ_n turk_n in_o that_o they_o imagine_v that_o he_o have_v give_v a_o new_a law_n beside_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n then_o do_v the_o turk_n which_o vaunt_v of_o their_o mahomet_n as_o of_o a_o new_a lawgiver_n after_o christ_n and_o better_a than_o christ_n christ_n then_o come_v not_o to_o abolish_v the_o old_a law_n that_o he_o may_v make_v a_o new_a but_o as_o paul_n here_o say_v he_o be_v send_v of_o his_o father_n into_o the_o world_n to_o redeem_v those_o which_o be_v keep_v in_o thraldom_n under_o the_o law_n these_o word_n paint_v out_o christ_n lively_a and_o true_o christ_n they_o do_v not_o attribute_v unto_o he_o the_o office_n to_o make_v any_o new_a law_n but_o to_o redeem_v they_o which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o christ_n himself_o say_v i_o judge_v no_o man._n and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n 3.17_o i_o come_v not_o to_o judge_v the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o i_o that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o come_v not_o to_o bring_v any_o law_n nor_o to_o judge_v man_n according_a to_o the_o same_o as_o moses_n and_o other_o lawgever_n but_o i_o have_v a_o high_a &_o a_o better_a office_n the_o law_n kill_v you_o and_o i_o again_o do_v judge_v christ_n condemn_v and_o kill_v the_o law_n and_o so_o i_o deliver_v you_o from_o the_o tyranny_n thereof_o we_o that_o be_v old_a man_n which_o have_v be_v so_o nuzzle_v up_o in_o this_o pernicious_a doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n that_o it_o have_v take_v deep_a root_n even_o in_o our_o bone_n and_o marrow_n have_v conceive_v a_o opinion_n quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o which_o paul_n here_o teach_v of_o for_o although_o we_o confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n that_o christ_n redeem_v we_o from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o in_o very_a deed_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o think_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lawgiver_n a_o tyrant_n and_o a_o judge_n more_o terrible_a than_o moses_n himself_o and_o this_o perverse_a opinion_n we_o can_v not_o yet_o at_o this_o day_n in_o so_o great_a light_n of_o the_o truth_n utter_o reject_v so_o strong_o be_v those_o thing_n root_v in_o our_o heart_n which_o we_o learn_v in_o our_o youth_n but_o you_o which_o be_v yet_o young_a and_o be_v not_o infect_v with_o this_o pernicious_a opinion_n may_v learn_v christ_n pure_o with_o less_o difficulty_n they_o we_o that_o be_v old_a can_v remove_v out_o of_o our_o mind_n these_o blasphemous_a imagination_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v of_o he_o notwithstanding_o you_o have_v not_o utter_o escape_v the_o deceit_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o although_o you_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o infect_v with_o this_o curse_a opinion_n that_o christ_n be_v a_o lawgiver_n yet_o have_v you_o in_o you_o the_o root_n whereof_o it_o spring_v that_o be_v you_o have_v the_o flesh_n christ_n reason_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n which_o can_v judge_v no_o otherwise_o of_o christ_n but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o lawgiver_n therefore_o you_o must_v endeavour_n with_o

have_v not_o prevail_v herein_o he_o can_v never_o have_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o false_a apostle_n for_o thus_o they_o will_v have_v object_v against_o he_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o paul_n we_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o he_o moreover_o he_o be_v but_o one_o alone_a and_o we_o be_v many_o therefore_o we_o excel_v he_o both_o in_o authority_n and_o in_o number_n also_o here_o paul_n be_v constrain_v to_o boast_v to_o affirm_v and_o swear_v that_o he_o learn_v not_o his_o gospel_n of_o any_o man_n neither_o receive_v it_o of_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o for_o his_o ministry_n be_v here_o in_o great_a danger_n and_o all_o the_o church_n likewise_o which_o have_v use_v he_o as_o their_o chief_a pastor_n and_o teacher_n the_o necessity_n therefore_o of_o his_o ministry_n and_o of_o all_o the_o church_n require_v that_o with_o a_o necessary_a and_o holy_a pride_n he_o shall_v vaunt_v of_o his_o vocation_n and_o of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v open_a unto_o he_o by_o christ_n that_o their_o conscience_n may_v be_v thorough_o persuade_v that_o his_o doctrine_n be_v the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n here_o have_v paul_n a_o weighty_a matter_n in_o hand_n namely_o that_o all_o the_o church_n in_o galatia_n may_v be_v keep_v in_o sound_a doctrine_n and_o to_o be_v short_a the_o matter_n be_v concern_v life_n &_o death_n everlasting_a for_o if_o the_o pure_a and_o certain_a word_n of_o god_n be_v once_o take_v away_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o consolation_n life_n or_o salvation_n the_o cause_n therefore_o why_o he_o recite_v these_o thing_n be_v to_o retain_v the_o church_n still_o in_o true_a doctrine_n and_o not_o to_o maintain_v his_o own_o glory_n as_o porphirie_n and_o julian_n do_v false_o slander_v he_o his_o purpose_n be_v then_o to_o show_v by_o this_o history_n that_o he_o receive_v his_o gospel_n of_o no_o man_n again_o that_o he_o preach_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n namely_o the_o space_n of_o three_o or_o four_o year_n the_o self_n same_o gospel_n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v preach_v by_o revelation_n from_o god_n both_o in_o damascus_n and_o arabia_n before_o he_o have_v see_v any_o of_o the_o apostle_n verse_n 20._o and_o now_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o he_o hold_v i_o witness_v before_o god_n i_o lie_v not_o wherefore_o add_v he_o a_o oath_n because_o he_o report_v a_o history_n he_o be_v constrain_v to_o swear_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o church_n may_v believe_v he_o and_o also_o that_o the_o false_a apostle_n shall_v not_o say_v swear_v who_o know_v whether_o paul_n speak_v the_o truth_n or_o no_o here_o you_o see_v that_o paul_n the_o elect_a vessel_n of_o god_n be_v in_o so_o great_a contempt_n among_o his_o own_a galatian_n to_o who_o he_o have_v preach_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o swear_v that_o he_o speak_v the_o truth_n if_o this_o happen_v then_o to_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v so_o mighty_a adversary_n that_o they_o dare_v despise_v they_o and_o accuse_v they_o of_o lie_v what_o marvel_n be_v it_o if_o the_o like_a at_o this_o day_n happen_v unto_o we_o which_o in_o no_o respect_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o apostle_n he_o swear_v therefore_o in_o a_o matter_n as_o it_o seem_v of_o no_o weight_n that_o he_o speak_v the_o truth_n namely_o that_o he_o tarry_v not_o with_o peter_n to_o learn_v of_o he_o but_o only_o to_o see_v he_o but_o if_o you_o way_n the_o matter_n diligent_o it_o be_v very_o weighty_a and_o of_o great_a importance_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o that_o be_v say_v afore_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o swear_v after_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n god_n know_v that_o we_o lie_v not_o etc_n etc_n verse_n 21._o after_o that_o i_o go_v
