same_o shall_v never_o fail_v we_o that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o our_o own_o frailty_n and_o thereby_o be_v stir_v up_o too_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o invincible_a constancy_n 4._o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n shall_v always_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v battle_n now_o on_o our_o own_o side_n we_o have_v no_o strength_n at_o all_o but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o borowe_n it_o elsewhere_o and_o that_o we_o may_v so_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o it_o lie_v we_o upon_o to_o be_v stir_v thereunto_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a need_n that_o we_o have_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o here_o be_v a_o mirror_n offer_v unto_o all_o the_o faithful_a whereby_o we_o may_v fare_v much_o the_o better_a if_o we_o can_v put_v it_o too_o our_o use_n for_o saint_n paul_n have_v preach_v through_o all_o the_o country_n of_o galatia_n which_o be_v a_o meet_o large_a country_n and_o there_o have_v reere_v many_o church_n if_o ever_o man_n be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n spirit_n too_o win_v man_n too_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v sure_o that_o s._n paul_n excel_v all_o other_o or_o at_o leastwise_o all_o that_o be_v of_o his_o company_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o discharge_v his_o duty_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v scarce_o so_o soon_o turn_v his_o back_n but_o by_o and_o by_o satan_n give_v a_o push_n to_o overthrow_v all_o and_o too_o make_v a_o horrible_a havoc_n in_o the_o whole_a country_n and_o he_o win_v so_o great_a a_o multitude_n there_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v as_o good_a as_o quit_v abolish_v even_o among_o those_o that_o have_v be_v teach_v so_o faithful_o sith_o we_o see_v such_o a_o example_n ought_v we_o not_o too_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o too_o consider_v that_o god_n warn_v we_o too_o flee_v untoo_o he_o and_o to_o pray_v he_o so_o too_o strengthen_v we_o as_o we_o may_v hold_v out_o too_o the_o end_n which_o thing_n we_o can_v do_v except_o we_o be_v uphilde_n by_o he_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o fault_n which_o saint_n paul_n bewray_v here_o in_o the_o people_n of_o galatia_n must_v serve_v for_o our_o learning_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v in_o their_o person_n show_v what_o our_o constancy_n will_v be_v if_o he_o give_v we_o it_o not_o although_o then_o that_o we_o have_v be_v faithful_o instruct_v in_o the_o gospel_n yet_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o too_o work_v from_o day_n too_o day_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o fickle_a mind_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o by_o and_o by_o and_o for_o every_o little_a occasion_n furthermore_o as_o i_o have_v fayde_v already_o satan_n be_v a_o dreadful_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o be_v negligent_a see_v he_o lie_v always_o in_o wait_n for_o we_o seek_v on_o all_o side_n to_o invade_v we_o and_o that_o if_o he_o spy_v never_o so_o little_a a_o hole_n by_o and_o by_o he_o take_v his_o advantage_n too_o enter_v it_o shall_v not_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v any_o gap_n open_a for_o he_o and_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v take_v tardy_a before_o we_o be_v aware_a wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o warning_n that_o god_n give_v we_o in_o this_o text_n and_o let_v we_o make_v our_o advantage_n of_o it_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n have_v at_o all_o time_n serve_v his_o own_o turn_n with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o make_v thereof_o a_o false_a cloak_n too_o disguise_v the_o truth_n and_o too_o turn_v it_o into_o a_o lie_n or_o else_o too_o sow_v some_o discord_n that_o by_o little_a and_o little_a the_o gospel_n may_v quite_o fade_v away_o the_o apostle_n as_o they_o that_o be_v choose_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o bear_v abroad_o his_o gospel_n and_o to_o preach_v it_o through_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v well_o worthy_a too_o have_v be_v reverence_v every_o where_o and_o to_o have_v be_v of_o
there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sin_n in_o we_o god_n make_v we_o partner_n of_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o obedience_n that_o he_o yield_v be_v convey_v over_o unto_o us._n as_o for_o example_n if_o i_o owe_v a_o sum_n of_o money_n and_o another_o pay_v it_o for_o i_o although_o i_o lie_v out_o nothing_o out_o of_o my_o own_o purse_n yet_o be_o i_o quit_v i_o have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o pay_v but_o i_o find_v one_o that_o discharge_v i_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o who_o be_v destitute_a of_o rightuousnesse_n have_v jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o surety_n and_o he_o have_v satisfy_v god_n his_o father_n for_o us._n by_o mean_n whereof_o our_o sin_n be_v quite_o wipe_v out_o so_o as_o they_o come_v not_o any_o more_o to_o account_v or_o remembrance_n before_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o bless_v that_o be_v to_o say_v where_o as_o god_n must_v heretofore_o have_v hilde_n we_o as_o accurse_a and_o damnable_a now_o he_o hold_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o herein_o also_o we_o see_v the_o fondness_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n because_o that_o too_o their_o seem_n faith_n be_v not_o so_o excellent_a a_o virtue_n as_o some_o other_o be_v for_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v perceyve_v to_o do_v much_o in_o hold_v himself_o too_o god_n promise_n and_o in_o rest_v upon_o they_o man_n will_v say_v very_o well_o such_o a_o one_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o know_v that_o he_o have_v need_n in_o deed_n to_o be_v succour_v by_o god_n goodness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o rest_v thereupon_o but_o the_o man_n who_o conversation_n bear_v a_o goodly_a show_n &_o be_v magnify_v every_o where_o shall_v be_v count_v the_o rightuouser_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v liberal_a and_o deal_v free_o of_o his_o good_n and_o also_o show_v himself_o well_o dispoze_v in_o all_o other_o part_n of_o his_o life_n such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v count_v more_o excellent_a than_o a_o believer_n 13_o beside_o this_o they_o do_v also_o allege_v s._n paul_n say_v in_o another_o place_n how_o that_o charity_n be_v above_o faith_n and_o hope_n yea_o true_o but_o the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o whether_o of_o they_o be_v the_o great_a high_a or_o noble_a virtue_n when_o we_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v any_o worthiness_n or_o desert_n in_o our_o faith_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n be_v bind_v unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o receyve_v we_o for_o it_o but_o that_o because_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o merciful_a towards_o we_o and_o promise_v to_o be_v our_o saviour_n we_o be_v first_o bereave_v of_o all_o trust_n in_o our_o virtue_n do_v come_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n know_v well_o that_o if_o he_o consider_v we_o in_o ourselves_o he_o must_v needs_o curse_v and_o abhor_v us._n see_v then_o that_o faith_n bring_v not_o any_o thing_n on_o man_n behalf_n but_o receyve_v all_o thing_n of_o god_n mere_a and_o free_a goodness_n there_o be_v no_o question_v what_o worthiness_n be_v in_o us._n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o faith_n not_o only_o help_v we_o too_o the_o attainment_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o also_o bring_v we_o all_o perfection_n now_o after_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v say_v that_o all_o the_o heathen_a be_v bless_v in_o abraham_n he_o add_v that_o it_o be_v together_o with_o the_o faithful_a abraham_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o find_v favour_n in_o god_n sight_n than_o only_a faith_n there_o be_v no_o seek_v of_o help_n else_o where_o in_o that_o behalf_n for_o that_o be_v yet_o too_o gross_a a_o error_n wherewith_o the_o papist_n be_v entangle_v for_o although_o they_o wot_v not_o what_o faith_n mean_v nor_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v yet_o be_v they_o enforce_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n help_v to_o salvation_n howbeit_o they_o add_v that_o it_o be_v but_o partly_o and_o that_o charity_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n work_v together_o with_o it_o and_o that_o if_o man_n purpose_v to_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n they_o must_v deserve_v well_o at_o his_o hand_n so_o that_o all_o be_v nought_o worth_a without_o obedience_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o the_o matter_n here_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o know_v by_o what_o mean_v god_n acknowledge_v we_o for_o his_o child_n but_o if_o he_o have_v respect_n too_o our_o work_v woe_n be_v to_o us._n therefore_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o turn_v away_o his_o countenance_n from_o the_o consider_v of_o our_o person_n and_o to_o receive_v we_o alone_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o else_o in_o his_o look_v upon_o we_o to_o mark_v nothing_o but_o our_o misery_n that_o he_o may_v be_v move_v and_o provoke_v to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v a_o double_a respect_n in_o justify_v us._n the_o one_o be_v that_o he_o behold_v our_o misery_n for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o see_v we_o so_o plunge_v in_o all_o confusion_n he_o be_v move_v to_o pity_n again_o to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v no_o more_o be_v a_o enemy_n and_o take_v part_n against_o we_o which_o be_v sinner_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o look_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o upon_o his_o rightuousnesse_n that_o the_o same_o may_v do_v away_o all_o our_o offence_n now_o s._n paul_n say_v here_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v bless_v but_o with_o faithful_a abraham_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o abraham_n though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o holy_a a_o man_n bring_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o with_o he_o when_o he_o obtain_v righteousness_n before_o god_n fayth_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o do_v utter_o bereeve_v a_o man_n of_o all_o the_o worthiness_n which_o he_o suppose_v himself_o to_o have_v see_v that_o abraham_n have_v none_o other_o help_n than_o faith_n it_o follow_v that_o he_o renounce_v all_o his_o own_o work_n as_o which_o in_o very_a deed_n be_v nothing_o worth_a then_o since_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o leave_v such_o mingle_n which_o bring_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n before_o god_n and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v that_o we_o be_v allow_v at_o god_n hand_n if_o he_o find_v we_o faithful_a if_o a_o man_n pose_v we_o and_o say_v have_v abraham_n virtue_n no_o favour_n in_o god_n sight_n it_o be_v easy_a too_o answer_v that_o abraham_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n have_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o iniquity_n he_o have_v be_v a_o castaway_n if_o god_n have_v not_o pluck_v he_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n wherein_o he_o be_v sink_v according_a as_o he_o himself_o show_v in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o josua_n 2_o consider_v say_v he_o to_o the_o jew_n from_o whence_o i_o take_v your_o father_n abraham_n do_v not_o his_o father_n serve_v idol_n then_o do_v i_o pluck_v he_o out_o of_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n so_o abraham_n have_v not_o aughte_v whereof_o to_o boast_v for_o he_o can_v not_o have_v do_v any_o good_a if_o god_n have_v not_o prevent_v he_o with_o his_o grace_n but_o now_o after_o that_o god_n have_v give_v abraham_n so_o great_a and_o excellent_a virtue_n that_o he_o be_v become_v as_o a_o pattern_n of_o all_o holiness_n yet_o be_v not_o those_o virtue_n able_a too_o justify_v he_o for_o there_o be_v always_o some_o fault_n too_o be_v find_v in_o he_o either_o more_o or_o less_o let_v a_o man_n enforce_v himself_o as_o much_o as_o in_o possible_a too_o obey_v god_n and_o yet_o shall_v he_o always_o go_v limp_a now_o there_o can_v not_o be_v so_o little_a a_o fault_n nor_o so_o small_a a_o blemish_n in_o our_o work_n but_o the_o same_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o foul_a and_o loathsome_a before_o god_n thus_o all_o abraham_n virtue_n if_o they_o have_v be_v examine_v strayght_o can_v not_o have_v
