humblinge_a themselves_o and_o to_o be_v repentaunt_a be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o infect_v and_o poison_a provokinge_v eftsoon_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o drive_v he_o into_o a_o hot_a burn_a flame_n to_o consume_v they_o therein_o and_o all_o this_o we_o see_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o these_o two_o thief_n as_o the_o mirror_n of_o all_o the_o world_n for_o from_o hte_n hy_a to_o the_o low_a we_o be_v all_o gultye_n before_o the_o lord_n yea_o and_o if_o we_o all_o suffer_v this_o together_o what_o be_v he_o that_o may_v brag_v of_o his_o innocencye_n or_o who_o be_v he_o that_o can_v purchase_v his_o pardon_n wherefore_o séeinge_v we_o be_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o condemnation_n we_o just_o suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o we_o will_v not_o all_o alike_o grant_v it_o because_o there_o be_v some_o as_o we_o have_v say_v which_o wax_n rather_o worse_o and_o there_o rebellion_n against_o god_n be_v open_o see_v for_o they_o gnashe_v their_o tooth_n spewe_v out_o their_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n and_o will_v never_o agree_v to_o this_o condemnation_n or_o else_o they_o take_v the_o bit_n in_o their_o mouth_n and_o show_v themselves_o so_o stubborn_a as_o that_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v win_v nothing_o by_o it_o nor_o yet_o have_v the_o mastery_n of_o they_o now_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o when_o miserable_a sinner_n acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v humble_v and_o confess_v the_o debt_n givinge_v glory_n to_o god_n declare_v also_o that_o he_o handle_v they_o just_o and_o right_o and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n they_o shall_v be_v so_o chastise_v when_o i_o say_v wretched_a sinner_n be_v draw_v to_o this_o reason_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n have_v put_v to_o his_o hand_n and_o touch_v they_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o may_v see_v his_o wonderful_a infynit_a goodness_n whenas_o he_o pull_v those_o out_o of_o destruction_n and_o hell_n who_o case_n before_o be_v as_o it_o be_v desperate_a in_o sum_n we_o see_v in_o the_o person_n of_o this_o miserable_a thief_n so_o excellent_a a_o example_n of_o faith_n as_o never_o be_v see_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o ravish_v with_o such_o a_o miracle_n as_o they_o god_n wrought_v for_o in_o what_o state_n stand_v he_o behold_v he_o be_v nigh_o his_o death_n he_o suffer_v horrible_a torment_n he_o look_v to_o have_v his_o bone_n to_o be_v crush_v and_o break_v and_o to_o be_v dismember_v which_o be_v so_o sharppe_n and_o terrible_a a_o torment_n as_o that_o it_o be_v even_o enough_o to_o have_v make_v he_o have_v lose_v both_o sense_n and_o memory_n he_o see_v also_o our_o lord_n jesus_n who_o most_o flaunderouslye_o be_v to_o be_v hang_v there_o as_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o yet_o see_v what_o word_n he_o use_v for_o he_o do_v not_o only_o acknowledge_v his_o sin_n for_o the_o humblinge_n himself_o before_o god_n he_o do_v not_o only_o use_v the_o office_n of_o a_o teacher_n to_o bring_v home_o his_o companion_n and_o to_o set_v he_o in_o the_o right_a way_n but_o make_v such_o a_o confession_n as_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o we_o consider_v well_o the_o circumstance_n i_o beseech_v thou_o say_v he_o remember_v i_o whenas_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o can_v conceive_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o kingdom_n for_o he_o be_v hang_v on_o tree_n and_o curse_a of_o god_n and_o man_n for_o this_o say_v of_o the_o law_n be_v speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n curse_v be_v he_o that_o hang_v on_o tree_n 3.13_o deut._n 21.23_o galat._n 3.13_o neither_o do_v this_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o chance_n as_o we_o common_o say_v that_o god_n put_v his_o only_a son_n to_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o see_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v there_o accurse_v both_o before_o god_n and_o man_n yea_o as_o one_o throw_v down_o into_o a_o desperate_a case_n as_o far_o as_o man_n reason_n can_v reach_v unto_o he_o have_v not_o such_o a_o stay_a brain_n to_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o king_n without_o he_o have_v speak_v it_o in_o faith_n and_o in_o spirit_n for_o he_o see_v such_o thing_n as_o may_v have_v make_v he_o decline_v from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o to_o have_v make_v he_o thus_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o abuse_n &_o mockery_n to_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o call_v he_o king_n when_o he_o see_v he_o ready_a to_o die_v i_o beseech_v thou_o say_v he_o save_v i_o and_o grant_v i_o life_n for_o it_o thou_o will_v remember_v i_o that_o be_v all_o the_o blessedness_n that_o i_o desire_v now_o when_o we_o shall_v well_o consider_v of_o these_o circumstance_n without_o all_o doubt_n the_o faith_n of_o this_o thief_n be_v so_o excellent_a and_o great_a as_o that_o never_o any_o man_n that_o ever_o live_v have_v the_o like_a and_o therefore_o let_v not_o we_o be_v a_o shame_v to_o be_v his_o disciple_n for_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v never_o stand_v we_o in_o any_o stead_n except_o we_o condemn_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v through_o he_o neither_o will_v god_n ever_o pardon_v we_o without_o we_o confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v most_o wicked_a &_o filthy_a since_o than_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o be_v guilty_a before_o god_n and_o that_o our_o own_o conscience_n do_v judge_v and_o condemn_v we_o let_v we_o not_o be_v a_o shame_v to_o follow_v this_o thief_n his_o step_n see_v he_o may_v be_v a_o good_a schoolmaster_n unto_o us._n and_o because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v ascend_v now_o into_o heaven_n and_o have_v take_v possession_n of_o the_o glory_n which_o god_n his_o father_n have_v give_v he_o 2.10_o phil._n 2.10_o to_z the_o end_n every_o knee_n may_v bow_v unto_o he_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v to_o put_v ourselves_o whole_o into_o his_o custody_n &_o conclude_v &_o say_v lo_o wherein_o lie_v our_o felicity_n to_o wit_n the_o jesus_n christ_n be_v mindful_a of_o we_o &_o govern_v we_o &_o because_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v our_o shepherd_n he_o will_v be_v watchful_a over_o our_o salvation_n that_o we_o may_v be_v safe_a &_o sure_a under_o his_o hand_n and_o protection_n moreover_o let_v we_o learn_v patient_o to_o bear_v the_o misery_n of_o this_o present_a life_n so_o that_o it_o make_v not_o we_o decline_v from_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o we_o see_v here_o that_o the_o thief_n be_v hear_v and_o yet_o be_v he_o feign_v to_o abide_v and_o hard_a and_o terrible_a death_n let_v we_o therefore_o so_o esteem_v of_o the_o spiritual_a grace_n which_o be_v give_v we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o which_o be_v daily_o offer_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o that_o it_o may_v make_v we_o overcome_v all_o the_o anguish_v grief_n damage_n trouble_n and_o temptation_n which_o any_o way_n may_v come_v unto_o we_o so_o that_o all_o our_o affliction_n may_v be_v mitigate_v because_o we_o know_v that_o they_o shall_v all_o turn_v to_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n through_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v here_o to_o observe_v and_o beside_o let_v we_o here_o to_o join_v the_o the_o answer_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o promise_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v that_o day_n with_o he_o in_o paradise_n for_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o rise_v from_o death_n nor_o have_v not_o accomplish_v all_o that_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n yet_o have_v he_o already_o pour_v abroad_o the_o power_n &_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o fulfil_n of_o all_o rest_v in_o the_o resurrection_n but_o since_o it_o be_v conjoin_v with_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o that_o we_o know_v he_o suffer_v in_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o flesh_n even_o so_o be_v he_o rise_v again_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o as_o he_o suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v free_a before_o god_n so_o likewise_o rise_v he_o again_o for_o our_o justification_n now_o when_o we_o know_v all_o this_o i_o say_v let_v we_o with_o so_o much_o the_o more_o bold_a courage_n come_v frank_o unto_o he_o &_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o when_o he_o please_v to_o remember_v we_o and_o hide_v we_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v against_o satan_n death_n and_o all_o misery_n &_o glory_n in_o our_o weakness_n and_o although_o we_o be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n

partaker_n thereof_o and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o what_o shall_v the_o story_n of_o the_o resurrection_n avail_v we_o but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v so_o manifest_v &_o will_v have_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o to_o be_v communicate_v unto_o all_o the_o world_n we_o may_v now_o the_o better_a taste_n of_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v certify_v of_o his_o resurrection_n because_o that_o when_o we_o know_v in_o truth_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v rise_v again_o that_o therein_o consist_v all_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n &_o rightuousnesse_n not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o cleanse_v all_o our_o filthiness_n by_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n but_o because_o it_o shall_v not_o remain_v &_o continue_v still_o weak_a and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v that_o he_o shall_v pour_v abroad_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o may_v by_o his_o resurrection_n 1.4_o rom._n 1.4_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o diverse_a other_o place_n sufficient_o declare_v thus_o now_o we_o see_v that_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v rise_v again_o &_o leave_v the_o way_n open_a unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v come_v unto_o he_o &_o look_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v seek_v he_o but_o have_v provide_v that_o we_o may_v be_v call_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o that_o his_o message_n shall_v sound_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o those_o his_o heralt_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v since_o than_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o rightuousnes_n which_o we_o at_o that_o this_o day_n have_v for_o the_o attain_n unto_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n we_o enjoy_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o will_v not_o separate_v himself_o from_o us._n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o he_o call_v the_o disciple_n his_o brethren_n indeed_o this_o be_v a_o honourable_a name_n and_o be_v reserve_v for_o all_o those_o who_o he_o account_v as_o his_o household_n servant_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o speech_n no_o doubt_n he_o use_v 20.17_o john_n 20.17_o to_o show_v the_o brotherhood_n that_o he_o will_v shall_v between_o he_o and_o they_o and_o so_o also_o be_v it_o common_a to_o we_o as_o saint_n john_n more_o plain_o declare_v now_o to_o say_v true_o 22.23_o psal_n 22.23_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n unto_o that_o say_n of_o the_o psalm_n out_o of_o which_o this_o place_n be_v take_v i_o will_v declare_v thy_o name_n unto_o my_o brethren_n which_o place_n the_o apostle_n in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o comprehend_v the_o 12._o 2.11_o hebr_n 2.11_o apostle_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o brethren_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o geve_v also_o the_o same_o title_n general_o to_o as_o many_o as_o follow_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o enjoy_v the_o self_n same_o honour_n we_o see_v also_o why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n say_v i_o go_v unto_o my_o god_n and_o to_o your_o god_n unto_o my_o father_n and_o unto_o your_o father_n now_o this_o be_v not_o mean_v by_o a_o few_o but_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o multitude_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o eternal_a god_n yet_o be_v he_o content_v notwithstanding_o even_o in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o mediator_n to_o abase_v himself_o and_o come_v near_o we_o and_o to_o have_v all_o thing_n common_a with_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o human_a nature_n for_o although_o he_o be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n and_o we_o by_o adoption_n and_o grace_n yet_o this_o community_n remain_v that_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v by_o his_o mean_n we_o also_o in_o diverse_a respect_n for_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v exalt_v as_o hie_v as_o our_o head_n and_o sovereign_a and_o sure_o this_o can_v not_o but_o be_v a_o wonderful_a confusion_n if_o the_o head_n of_o a_o man_n body_n shall_v not_o be_v above_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v seem_v a_o very_a monster_n and_o a_o confuse_a lump_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v also_o very_o good_a reason_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v keep_v his_o chief_a degree_n because_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o this_o let_v not_o but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v join_v with_o he_o in_o brotherhood_n that_o we_o may_v free_o and_o with_o good_a assueraunce_n call_v upon_o god_n and_o be_v hear_v because_o we_o have_v familiar_a access_n unto_o he_o we_o see_v then_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o say_n be_v when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v his_o disciple_n brethren_n to_o wit_n he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n shall_v have_v the_o like_a privilege_n with_o they_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v nothing_o derogatorye_n from_o the_o power_n and_o majesty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o he_o thus_o conjoin_v himself_o with_o such_o wretched_a creature_n as_o we_o be_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v one_o of_o our_o company_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o a_o admiration_n with_o the_o matter_n whenas_o we_o see_v he_o use_v such_o his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o as_o that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v purchase_v for_o we_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n for_o the_o purchase_n whereof_o he_o abase_v himself_o &_o become_v of_o no_o reputation_n since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n vouchsave_v to_o allow_v we_o for_o his_o brethren_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v come_v unto_o god_n let_v we_o bold_o seek_v he_o and_o come_v unto_o he_o while_o he_o thus_o gentle_o invile_v we_o neither_o do_v he_o marvelous_a considerate_o use_v his_o word_n only_o to_o draw_v we_o but_o add_v withal_o a_o visible_a sacrament_n also_o the_o we_o may_v be_v bring_v thereto_o according_a to_o our_o small_a ability_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n let_v it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a &_o blockishe_a yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o excuse_v our_o slackness_n if_o we_o come_v not_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n behold_v the_o table_z whereunto_o he_o have_v call_v we_o &_o to_o what_o end_n forsooth_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n to_o fill_v our_o belly_n although_o that_o therein_o god_n declare_v himself_o to_o have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n over_o we_o and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n also_o show_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v indeed_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o when_o we_o daily_o eat_v and_o drink_v it_o witness_v thus_o much_o unto_o we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v his_o goodness_n unto_o we_o but_o in_o this_o table_n there_o be_v a_o special_a consideration_n to_o be_v have_v for_o it_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v the_o brethren_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n 17.21_o john_n 17.21_o that_o because_o as_o s._n john_n say_v he_o have_v unite_v we_o unto_o himself_o he_o have_v also_o unite_v we_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n &_o so_o by_o little_a &_o little_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v our_o meat_n &_o our_o drink_n &_o we_o be_v take_v to_o be_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n that_o we_o may_v have_v all_o our_o spiritual_a life_n in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v more_o than_o if_o he_o call_v we_o his_o brethren_n a_o hundred_o time_n let_v we_o therefore_o understand_v and_o know_v the_o unity_n that_o we_o have_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o life_n to_o be_v common_a with_o we_o and_o his_o life_n to_o be_v our_o life_n yea_o that_o he_o will_v effectual_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o not_o by_o imagination_n and_o after_o a_o earthly_a manner_n

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o then_o let_v we_o by_o no_o mean_a decline_n from_o he_o but_o in_o such_o sort_n possess_v he_o as_o we_o may_v be_v whole_o content_v with_o he_o and_o that_o he_o also_o may_v altogether_o take_v pleasure_n in_o we_o and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o may_v feel_v that_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n have_v be_v available_a &_o profitable_a unto_o us._n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o grant_v unto_o we_o only_o this_o grace_n &_o favour_n but_o unto_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n the_o seven_o sermon_n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n isaiah_n liii_o 12_o therefore_o will_v i_o give_v he_o a_o portion_n with_o the_o great_a and_o he_o shall_v double_v the_o spoil_n with_o the_o strong_a because_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o he_o be_v count_v with_o the_o transgressor_n &_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o pray_v for_o the_o trespasser_n the_o prophet_n declare_v here_o in_o sum_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o only_o overcome_v death_n by_o death_n but_o that_o he_o have_v also_o a_o just_a title_n and_o interest_n to_o take_v away_o the_o

jesus_n christ_n enrich_v not_o himself_o with_o the_o good_n of_o this_o world_n but_o that_o which_o he_o do_v be_v to_o this_o end_n as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o overcome_v death_n we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o satan_n who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v displace_v of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o our_o estate_n have_v

a_o spoil_n of_o his_o enemy_n to_o wit_n because_o we_o may_v be_v no_o more_o under_o the_o tyramnie_n of_o satan_n &_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n but_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n s._n paul_n allege_v the_o say_n of_o the_o psalmist_n show_v after_o what_o sort_n this_o place_n be_v fulfil_v when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n ascend_v on_o high_a and_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a and_o keep_v his_o enemy_n bind_v and_o fetter_v so_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o resist_v he_o receive_v also_o homage_n and_o tribute_n of_o man_n indeed_o david_n in_o that_o place_n speak_v by_o way_n of_o similitude_n for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n ascend_v on_o high_a it_o be_v because_o he_o make_v a_o show_n for_o a_o time_n as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o sleep_n so_o that_o when_o thing_n be_v after_o such_o a_o confuse_a manner_n it_o may_v make_v the_o faithful_a groan_n when_o as_o they_o see_v no_o help_n and_o cause_v the_o wicked_a to_o run_v headlong_o into_o all_o licentiousness_n wherefore_o when_o there_o arise_v such_o trouble_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o never_o a_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o the_o call_n upon_o god_n he_o be_v for_o the_o time_n as_o it_o be_v one_o that_o be_v lose_v and_o that_o have_v hide_v himself_o and_o contrariwise_o by_o this_o reason_n whenas_o god_n have_v defend_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o church_n in_o destroy_v the_o enemy_n thereof_o david_n say_v that_o he_o arise_v up_o howbeit_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o this_o be_v accomplish_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o his_o majesty_n be_v darken_v and_o be_v have_v in_o no_o estimation_n of_o man_n for_o a_o season_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v say_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v come_v down_o on_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v contemn_v of_o man_n that_o he_o may_v in_o the_o end_n be_v so_o exalt_v as_o that_o he_o may_v not_o only_o be_v simple_o and_o plain_o honour_v of_o man_n but_o that_o he_o may_v also_o make_v a_o distribution_n of_o the_o spoil_n and_o tribute_n for_o where_o the_o psalmist_n say_v that_o he_o take_v the_o tribute_n which_o belong_v unto_o he_o as_o unto_o one_o who_o have_v bring_v his_o adversary_n in_o subjection_n s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o liberal_o bestow_v his_o gift_n among_o man_n a_o man_n will_v think_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n these_o be_v thing_n clean_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o and_o yet_o they_o right_o well_o agree_v because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o enrich_v particular_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v to_o bestow_v the_o spoil_n on_o we_o so_o that_o not_o only_o they_o which_o shall_v fight_v shall_v have_v part_n of_o the_o booty_n but_o woman_n also_o who_o never_o set_v one_o foot_n out_o of_o door_n 68.13_o psal_n 68.13_o for_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n we_o feel_v how_o god_n by_o the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v fill_v we_o with_o his_o benefit_n not_o for_o that_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n or_o industry_n in_o we_o for_o we_o be_v of_o as_o little_a force_n as_o woman_n with_o their_o distaff_n when_o as_o we_o come_v to_o the_o fight_n wherefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o god_n will_v give_v to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o booty_n of_o the_o enemy_n which_o he_o have_v conquer_v as_o strong_a &_o mighty_a as_o they_o be_v it_o be_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o title_n nor_o interest_n in_o we_o whenas_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o we_o obtain_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o without_o hypocrisy_n submit_v ourselves_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n &_o take_v he_o for_o our_o king_n &_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o will_v sure_o set_v we_o free_a and_o beside_o that_o we_o shall_v receive_v from_o his_o hand_n all_o such_o benefit_n as_o we_o have_v need_n of_o and_o be_v necessary_a let_v we_o now_o then_o consider_v that_o if_o satan_n be_v not_o spoil_v how_o miserable_a we_o shall_v be_v for_o he_o possess_v and_o peaceable_o

they_o can_v against_o us._n and_o here_o he_o namely_o speak_v of_o strong_a and_o great_a man_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v abash_v at_o the_o force_n munition_n &_o all_o the_o furniture_n of_o our_o enemy_n for_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o fear_v we_o to_o see_v on_o the_o one_o side_n our_o own_o weakness_n and_o to_o know_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v like_o a_o roar_a lion_n 5.8_o 1._o peter_n 5.8_o and_o sin_n to_o have_v dominion_n over_o we_o this_o i_o say_v be_v even_o enough_o to_o fear_v we_o except_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o this_o that_o neither_o power_n strength_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o whatsoever_o can_v let_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n from_o spoil_v of_o all_o his_o enemy_n from_o chase_v and_o bereave_v of_o they_o of_o all_o they_o have_v so_o that_o which_o before_o be_v hurtful_a unto_o we_o shall_v now_o be_v turn_v to_o our_o good_a and_o benefit_n and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o mean_v of_o satan_n the_o
