but_o that_o which_o malachi_n say_v ibidem_fw-la ibidem_fw-la before_o that_o great_a and_o terrible_a day_n of_o jehova_n shall_v come_v it_o seem_v not_o to_o agree_v with_o the_o first_o come_v

they_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v see_v what_o we_o shall_v judge_v in_o both_o to_o be_v avoid_v and_o what_o to_o be_v receive_v wherefore_o some_o there_o have_v be_v which_o retain_v the_o

wherewith_o he_o himself_o embrace_v we_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n and_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v you_o defend_v also_o your_o opinion_n by_o this_o argument_n christ_n that_o the_o weakness_n or_o faith_n let_v not_o our_o conjunction_n with_o christ_n our_o faith_n be_v not_o very_o perfect_a it_o be_v weak_a and_o oftentimes_o waver_v why_o therefore_o will_v we_o that_o our_o conjunction_n with_o christ_n shall_v depend_v of_o the_o increase_n thereof_o and_o see_v that_o fullness_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v require_v of_o each_o one_o of_o we_o

indeed_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v the_o weakness_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o do_v judge_n and_o you_o do_v object_n howbeit_o this_o infirmity_n thereof_o be_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o but_o that_o faith_n shall_v be_v account_v the_o mean_a and_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v christ_n eternal_a life_n forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o other_o such_o promise_n as_o it_o most_o evident_o appear_v

thereof_o we_o be_v not_o more_o fasten_v and_o unite_v unto_o christ_n let_v we_o borowe_n a_o similitude_n of_o charity_n the_o same_o be_v always_o unperfect_a while_o we_o live_v here_o and_o no_o

which_o you_o declare_v that_o come_v by_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o help_n for_o our_o infirmity_n lest_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v fall_v therefrom_o by_o suffer_v the_o same_o to_o lie_v idle_a and_o unoccupied_a this_o i_o willing_o embrace_v yet_o so_o nevertheless_o as_o to_o this_o of_o you_o i_o will_v also_o join_v a_o other_o commodity_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o only_o available_a to_o the_o retain_v thereof_o but_o do_v also_o make_v it_o strong_a &_o great_a and_o the_o same_o the_o more_o it_o be_v

i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o have_v a_o good_a meaning_n therein_o for_o why_o shall_v i_o suspect_v the_o contrary_a of_o you_o who_o i_o see_v to_o be_v so_o clear_o instruct_v by_o god_n in_o piety_n learning_n and_o holiness_n howbeit_o as_o i_o think_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o declare_v why_o i_o on_o the_o other_o side_n do_v not_o mislike_v of_o those_o word_n for_o beside_o that_o they_o very_o well_o serve_v to_o the_o open_n of_o this_o matter_n it_o have_v this_o withal_o that_o they_o be_v not_o strange_a from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o we_o have_v unto_o the_o ephesian_n the_o third_o chapter_n 6._o verse_n 6._o that_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v coheir_n and_o of_o the_o same_o body_n as_o if_o you_o will_v say_v if_o they_o may_v be_v incorporate_v namely_o one_o with_o another_o into_o christ_n they_o may_v also_o be_v copartner_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n 15._o verse_n 15._o that_o he_o may_v make_v of_o twain_o one_o new_a man_n in_o himself_o make_v peace_n and_o that_o he_o may_v reconcile_v both_o unto_o god_n in_o one_o body_n by_o the_o cross_n &_o so_o forth_o we_o hear_v the_o apostle_n teach_v that_o christ_n bring_v two_o sort_n namely_o the_o gentile_n &_o the_o jew_n into_o one_o and_o that_o in_o himself_o because_o they_o can_v be_v one_o in_o themselves_o but_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v unite_v and_o couple_v together_o in_o christ_n and_o he_o add_v that_o they_o be_v reconcile_v together_o but_o yet_o in_o one_o body_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o christ_n himself_o for_o he_o add_v by_o the_o cross_n by_o which_o thing_n i_o gather_v that_o the_o word_n of_o unite_n and_o incorporate_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o i_o refuse_v they_o not_o as_o strange_a word_n and_o invent_v of_o late_a day_n but_o and_o if_o any_o do_v abuse_v they_o they_o do_v not_o well_o but_o what_o if_o the_o heretic_n will_v abuse_v the_o holy_a scripture_n shall_v the_o faithful_a abstain_v from_o the_o use_n of_o they_o i_o trow_v not_o wherefore_o it_o be_v better_a to_o correct_v the_o abuse_n than_o to_o avoid_v the_o lawful_a &_o profitable_a use_n of_o these_o word_n but_o here_o may_v every_o one_o abound_v in_o his_o own_o sense_n sacrament_n how_o our_o unite_n with_o christ_n be_v augment_v by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n whatsoever_o paul_n or_o i_o say_v and_o whereas_o you_o write_v at_o the_o last_o that_o i_o say_v we_o be_v the_o more_o unite_a unto_o christ_n by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o this_o i_o say_v so_o it_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n that_o i_o attribute_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o element_n or_o as_o they_o speak_v to_o the_o work_n wrought_v but_o to_o declare_v in_o few_o word_n this_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o even_o as_o by_o the_o holy_a word_n while_o they_o be_v either_o hear_v or_o

visible_a word_n that_o our_o faith_n be_v make_v more_o firm_a and_o increase_v by_o the_o benefit_n of_o which_o increase_v because_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v of_o god_n we_o be_v become_v

which_o do_v follow_v upon_o the_o seal_n for_o even_o as_o deed_n in_o writing_n if_o they_o be_v seal_v do_v the_o more_o cause_n credit_n to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o
