they_o murmur_v because_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n they_o say_v be_v not_o this_o the_o son_n of_o joseph_n who_o father_n and_o mother_n we_o know_v how_o then_o be_v it_o that_o he_o say_v i_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o believe_v and_o receive_v thankful_o his_o heavenly_a word_n that_o they_o murmur_v at_o they_o and_o condemn_v they_o within_o themsolve_v beside_o they_o have_v hear_v &_o see_v his_o great_a miracle_n which_o he_o wrought_v to_o confirm_v his_o word_n he_o have_v feed_v five_o thousand_o

these_o wonder_n they_o may_v have_v be_v induce_v to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o who_o will_v not_o speak_v but_o truth_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v have_v humble_o

come_v down_o from_o heaven_n they_o despise_v himself_o as_o vile_a and_o murmur_v at_o his_o word_n as_o false_a such_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o blind_a and_o perverse_a nature_n that_o

therefore_o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o point_n no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o saviour_n except_o the_o father_n which_o have_v sont_fw-fr i_o draw_v he_o here_o be_v the_o instruction_n

who_o be_v unlearned_a if_o rude_a and_o unlettered_a man_n shall_v come_v in_o and_o hear_v he_o and_o condemn_v what_o he_o say_v as_o false_a and_o untrue_a he_o may_v just_o say_v to_o they_o it_o be_v not_o the_o falsehood_n or_o absurdity_n of_o my_o doctrine_n which_o make_v you_o to_o disassent_v from_o it_o but_o it_o be_v your_o want_n of_o learning_n without_o which_o this_o doctrine_n can_v be_v understand_v so_o our_o saviour_n tell_v these_o carnal_a hearer_n that_o there_o be_v no_o default_n in_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v but_o that_o they_o want_v that_o preparation_n without_o which_o they_o can_v not_o embrace_v his_o word_n he_o may_v have_v say_v you_o beleeu●_v not_o what_o i_o shy_a because_o you_o be_v blind_a carnal_a and_o perverse_a but_o he_o choise_v

thereunto_o 3._o he_o speak_v this_o to_o strick_v they_o with_o a_o just_a terror_n by_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v not_o enlighten_v and_o draw_v by_o god_n and_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o humble_o

of_o man_n with_o thorn_n of_o affliction_n that_o they_o may_v turn_v back_o from_o their_o evil_a way_n to_o their_o god_n who_o they_o have_v forsake_v hos_fw-la 2._o 6._o sometime_o he_o loadn_v

and_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o by_o all_o these_o mean_v god_n call_v and_o knock_v as_o it_o be_v at_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o may_v open_v yea_o not_o once_o but_o often_o do_v he_o this_o calling_n as_o all_o may_v find_v by_o their_o own_o experience_n this_o call_n in_o some_o sort_n may_v be_v call_v a_o draw_v &_o it_o be_v not_o exclude_v here_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o that_o whereof_o our_o saviour_n chief_o speak_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o that_o call_n which_o make_v man_n effectual_o to_o follow_v it_o as_o appear_z by_o the_o next_o verse_n therefore_o i_o say_v there_o be_v another_o call_v proper_a to_o the_o elect_n whereby_o god_n so_o concur_v with_o the_o mean_v use_v by_o he_o that_o he_o effectual_o enlighten_v the_o mind_n change_v the_o heart_n

subjection_n lest_o by_o any_o mean_n when_o he_o bid_v preach_v unto_o other_o he_o himself_o shall_v be_v a_o castaway_n our_o security_n be_v to_o fear_v always_o our_o strength_n be_v to_o

perceive_v from_o this_o fall_n of_o peter_n that_o one_o sin_n especial_o it_o if_o it_o be_v grievous_a draw_v another_o after_o it_o and_o that_o without_o stay_n till_o christ_n look_v again_o upon_o the_o sinner_n hence_o sin_n be_v call_v by_o s._n paul_n the_o s●ure_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o know_v when_o a_o bird_n be_v take_v in_o a_o s●are_n she_o be_v still_o more_o and_o more_o fasten_v and_o entangle_v if_o thou_o give_v place_n but_o to_o a_o light_a lust_n at_o the_o first_o as_o peter_n do_v to_o the_o servant-maid_n one_o to_o a_o hundred_o but_o from_o that_o thou_o shall_v fall_v into_o a_o great_a sin_n &_o from_o that_o to_o worse_a again_o as_o s._n peter_n from_o deny_v come_v to_o swear_v and_o from_o swear_v come_v to_o extreme_a curse_v of_o himself_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o give_v any_o place_n to_o the_o devil_n but_o to_o resist_v he_o steadfast_o and_o to_o pray_v with_o david_n order_v my_o step_n in_o thy_o word_n and_o let_v no_o iniquity_n have_v dominion_n over_o i_o three_o pastor_n it_o be_v observe_v by_o holy_a augustine_n in_o the_o place_n before_o cit_v that_o this_o fall_n of_o s._n peter_n be_v permit_v by_o god_n to_o make_v he_o the_o more_o ready_a to_o compassionate_v other_o when_o they_o shall_v fall_v he_o be_v by_o nature_n vehement_a as_o appear_v by_o many_o passage_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o particular_o by_o cut_v off_o the_o ear_n of_o malchus_n he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o prime_a pastor_n &_o ruller_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o receive_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n a_o innummerable_a multitude_n of_o people_n be_v to_o be_v commit_v unto_o he_o load_v with_o manifold_a iniquity_n now_o if_o he_o have_v never_o fall_v himself_o like_o enough_o it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v have_v be_v the_o less_o incline_v to_o pity_n &_o commiserate_v other_o therefore_o say_v holy_a augustine_n the_o secret_a of_o god_n providence_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v permit_v first_o to_o fall_v and_o that_o foullie_o that_o he_o may_v temper_v the_o severity_n of_o the_o sentence_n against_o other_o by_o the_o remembrance_n and_o consideration_n of_o his_o own_o fall_n thus_o god_n have_v teach_v we_o also_o by_o his_o fall_n that_o it_o be_v most_o necessary_a in_o a_o pastor_n to_o have_v a_o tender_a heart_n ready_a to_o pity_n &_o compassionate_v other_o he_o will_v never_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o pastor_n faithful_o that_o can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o rule_n with_o authority_n terrify_v censure_n &_o punish_v that_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o win_v man_n to_o god_n but_o to_o drive_v unstablish_v soul_n from_o god_n and_o to_o cast_v those_o that_o be_v weak_a and_o distress_a into_o despair_n four_o alse_a it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o a_o man_n may_v deny_v christ_n although_o by_o his_o mouth_n he_o say_v not_o that_o he_o know_v he_o not_o as_o s._n peter_n do_v we_o may_v profess_v that_o we_o know_v he_o with_o our_o mouth_n and_o yet_o by_o our_o work_n deny_v he_o as_o s._n paul_n teach_v we_o tit._n 1._o we_o deny_v he_o also_o when_o we_o deny_v ourselves_o to_o be_v his_o disciple_n as_o we_o see_v in_o s._n peter_n here_o now_o our_o lord_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o that_o will_v not_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n and_o that_o hereby_o all_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o we_o be_v his_o disciple_n if_o we_o love_v one_o another_o and_o that_o we_o must_v abide_v it_o be_v his_o word_n and_o do_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n if_o we_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o also_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o lust_n thereof_o if_o therefore_o thou_o be_v not_o content_a to_o take_v up_o thy_o cross_n with_o patienc●_n if_o thou_o love_v not_o thy_o brother_n abide_v not_o in_o christ_n word_n be_v not_o careful_a to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o his_o heavenly_a father_n and_o to_o crucify_v thy_o flesh_n with_o the_o lust_n of_o it_o thou_o deny_v thyself_o to_o be_v his_o disciple_n &_o consequent_o deny_v he_o in_o a_o word_n christ_n be_v the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o believe_v he_o not_o thou_o deny_v he_o christ_n be_v the_o way_n if_o thou_o follow_v not_o he_o thou_o do_v deny_v he_o christ_n be_v the_o life_n &_o therefore_o if_o thou_o be_v give_v to_o the_o dead_a work_n of_o sin_n thou_o deny_v he_o thus_o alace_o many_o way_n &_o oftentime_o have_v we_o deny_v he_o and_o so_o have_v deserve_v that_o he_o shall_v deny_v we_o before_o his_o father_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o have_v need_n to_o sly_a to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n whereof_o we_o may_v see_v a_o notable_a demonstration_n in_o christ_n his_o deal_n with_o s._n peter_n but_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o god_n as_o you_o will_v see_v most_o clear_o in_o the_o next_o part_n of_o my_o text_n to_o which_o now_o i_o come_v repentance_n

and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o his_o bodily_a eye_n but_o the_o text_n show_v that_o he_o do_v this_o also_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o be_v turn_v and_o look_v upon_o he_o now_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v his_o turn_v be_v mention_v if_o he_o have_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o body_n but_o say_v they_o s._n peter_n be_v without_o and_o

sometime_o to_o reward_n &_o sometime_o to_o punish_v in_o justice_n he_o look_v upon_o the_o first_o world_n when_o all_o flesh_n have_v corrupt_v their_o way_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o look_n
