slip_v whatsoever_o be_v say_v too_o they_o &_o look_v what_o come_v in_o at_o the_o one_o ear_n go_v out_o again_o at_o the_o other_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o do_v give_v glory_n unto_o god_n in_o receive_v his_o word_n with_o such_o humility_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v therefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o naughtiness_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o see_v we_o provoke_v god_n displeasure_n in_o not_o yield_v he_o the_o honour_n of_o think_v he_o too_o be_v soothfast_n and_o true_a in_o deed_n we_o will_v not_o say_v in_o open_a speech_n that_o his_o word_n be_v vain_a we_o will_v not_o accuze_v he_o of_o lease_v and_o deceit_n but_o yet_o do_v he_o protest_v that_o we_o do_v he_o as_o much_o wrong_n as_o that_o come_v

by_o moses_n and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o sure_o if_o saint_n john_n say_n be_v true_a 33._o namely_o that_o when_o we_o believe_v god_n we_o set_v to_o our_o seal_n that_o he_o be_v true_a that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o uphold_v he_o to_o be_v faithful_a then_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o have_v not_o that_o sure_a groundwork_n in_o our_o faith_n &_o that_o god_n word_n win_v not_o so_o much_o at_o our_o hand_n as_o too_o make_v we_o too_o betake_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o it_o without_o any_o gainsay_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o count_v god_n a_o

without_o cause_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v what_o frowardness_n there_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n until_o god_n remedy_n it_o furthermore_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n seal_v his_o promise_n after_o that_o fashion_n in_o our_o heart_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o that_o be_v because_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o choose_v we_o we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o how_o he_o call_v we_o too_o he_o and_o inlyghten_v we_o with_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o gospel_n according_a too_o his_o choose_v of_o we_o before_o we_o be_v bear_v yea_o and_o before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v a_o special_a gift_n which_o be_v not_o bestow_v upon_o all_o man_n indifferent_o but_o be_v reserve_v as_o a_o treasure_n for_o his_o child_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o ought_v too_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n the_o foretouched_a title_n that_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n also_o the_o unbelief_n which_o be_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n 15._o give_v a_o evident_a proof_n of_o our_o god_n goodness_n in_o that_o it_o have_v pleaze_v he_o too_o engrave_v his_o word_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o all_o such_o as_o fight_v against_o god_n or_o which_o be_v as_o brute_n beast_n and_o so_o careless_a that_o his_o word_n do_v no_o whit_n move_v they_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v of_o nature_n and_o what_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o if_o our_o lord_n for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n have_v not_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n wherefore_o whensoever_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v talk_v of_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o presume_v not_o any_o thing_n upon_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o policy_n but_o let_v we_o be_v small_a and_o low_o that_o our_o lord_n may_v enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o when_o we_o perceive_v that_o we_o have_v receive_v such_o grace_n already_o let_v we_o not_o bury_v it_o but_o let_v we_o give_v the_o praise_n of_o it_o too_o he_o that_o deserve_v it_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n sith_o we_o feel_v many_o perplexity_n doubt_n and_o unquietness_n and_o that_o sometime_o we_o be_v toss_v like_o a_o ship_n that_o be_v ready_a too_o topple_v over_o and_o too_o be_v sink_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o the_o sea_n sith_o we_o perceive_v ourselves_o too_o be_v so_o trouble_v let_v we_o consider_v our_o own_o frailty_n that_o although_o we_o have_v be_v train_v up_o in_o god_n word_n yet_o will_v there_o be_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o our_o heart_n except_o god_n work_v it_o there_o and_o thereupon_o let_v we_o run_v too_o the_o remedy_n and_o pray_v god_n too_o keep_v the_o seed_n that_o he_o have_v sow_v in_o we_o from_o choke_v and_o the_o assuredness_n of_o our_o heritage_n from_o ever_o wear_v out_o that_o although_o satan_n strain_v himself_o too_o the_o uttermost_a too_o destroy_v that_o which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o we_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v strengthen_v in_o we_o from_o day_n to_o day_n as_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o this_o that_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v seal_v and_o mark_v by_o god_n spirit_n and_o now_o he_o warn_v we_o that_o it_o be_v too_o heinous_a a_o crime_n too_o grieve_v he_o yea_o &_o to_o intolerable_a a_o treachery_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o this_o similitude_n intend_v not_o to_o impute_v any_o excessive_a passion_n to_o god_n spirit_n but_o too_o put_v we_o too_o shame_n and_o too_o make_v the_o hear_v too_o stand_v up_o upon_o our_o head_n behold_v say_v saint_n paul_n god_n spirit_n have_v choose_v his_o dwell_a place_n in_o we_o 16._o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n that_o not_o only_o our_o soul_n but_o also_o our_o body_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o he_o be_v glad_a too_o be_v in_o we_o and_o too_o abide_v there_o and_o too_o make_v it_o his_o continual_a home_n now_o than_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o spite_v of_o he_o as_o though_o we_o mind_v too_o chase_v he_o and_o banish_v he_o from_o we_o be_v it_o not_o too_o devilish_a a_o deal_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o we_o seek_v allurement_n of_o unthriftiness_n when_o we_o take_v leave_v too_o corrupt_v ourselves_o by_o lewd_a and_o loose_a talk_n and_o when_o we_o labour_v too_o have_v other_o naughty_a mean_n too_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o too_o bring_v our_o conscience_n asleep_a it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o endeavour_v of_o set_a purpose_n too_o chase_v away_o and_o too_o banish_v god_n spirit_n from_o we_o and_o too_o say_v we_o will_v have_v no_o more_o acquaintance_n with_o he_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o be_v most_o miserable_a and_o curse_a creature_n when_o we_o overshoot_v ourselves_o so_o far_o that_o then_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o s._n paul_n have_v a_o eye_n unto_o therefore_o whensoever_o we_o be_v tempt_v unto_o evil_n and_o the_o devil_n labour_v to_o make_v we_o take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o that_o all_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n may_v be_v put_v away_o let_v we_o call_v too_o mind_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v here_o and_o say_v how_o now_o thou_o reioyc_a and_o wherein_o in_o the_o serve_v of_o satan_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n thou_o let_v he_o go_v that_o be_v thy_o life_n the_o earnestpenny_a of_o thy_o salvation_n and_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o felicity_n which_o have_v be_v purchase_v so_o dear_o for_o thou_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n let_v we_o think_v advise_o upon_o this_o and_o moreover_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o every_o faithful_a man_n ought_v too_o feel_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v declare_v here_o for_o if_o our_o lord_n have_v touch_v we_o and_o give_v we_o the_o seal_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o it_o will_v be_v a_o grief_n unto_o we_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v unto_o ●uill_a and_o so_o the_o thing_n that_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n be_v the_o spirit_n which_o watch_v and_o ward_v too_o withstand_v

deed_n he_o dispute_v not_o much_o of_o it_o here_o because_o it_o be_v know_v well_o enough_o in_o the_o church_n of_o ephesit_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o galathians_n have_v be_v trouble_v by_o deceiver_n in_o so_o much_o that_o s._n paul_n authority_n yea_o and_o the_o name_n of_o god_n himself_o have_v be_v disgrace_v there_o we_o see_v how_o he_o maintain_v his_o own_o state_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o reverence_n dew_n too_o a_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n can_v not_o be_v take_v from_o he_o etc_n without_o overthrow_v the_o order_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o here_o too_o have_v say_v in_o one_o word_n that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ._n let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o second_o point_n which_o i_o touch_v namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n too_o be_v call_v except_o he_o discharge_v his_o duty_n with_o a_o pure_a conscience_n and_o upright_o deal_n in_o his_o office_n ▪_o which_o thing_n s._n paul_n take_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o thing_n out_o of_o all_o qutesion_n and_o he_o have_v give_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o it_o the_o deceiver_n may_v well_o boast_v themselves_o with_o full_a mouth_n that_o they_o be_v call_v as_o we_o see_v they_o do_v for_o all_o they_o that_o fight_v against_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o sow_v trouble_n and_o darnel_n in_o his_o church_n will_v fain_o make_v a_o buckler_n of_o their_o call_n and_o also_o of_o their_o zeal_n for_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v call_v christian_n yea_o &_o more_o too_o but_o s._n paul_n have_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o he_o come_v not_o of_o himself_o ne_o seek_v any_o thing_n else_o than_o too_o spend_v himself_o in_o the_o build_n up_o of_o the_o church_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o same_o be_v well_o know_v in_o ephesus_n 19_o as_o we_o may_v gather_v by_o the_o story_n of_o s._n luke_n yea_o and_o that_o he_o have_v bear_v out_o many_o a_o hard_a brunt_n therefore_o he_o think_v it_o enough_o too_o say_v in_o one_o word_n that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o here_o we_o be_v warn_v first_o too_o hold_v ourselves_o too_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n which_o we_o know_v too_o have_v proceed_v from_o god_n for_o we_o can_v do_v amiss_o if_o we_o follow_v that_o rule_n and_o because_o that_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v the_o performance_n of_o all_o that_o be_v requisite_a and_o needful_a for_o our_o instruction_n so_o as_o we_o need_v not_o too_o doubt_v whither_o we_o may_v hold_v we_o too_o the_o gospel_n or_o add_v somewhat_o too_o it_o let_v we_o be_v content_v too_o take_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o our_o master_n special_o such_o he_o vout●afeth_v too_o stoop_v so_o low_o as_o too_o take_v that_o charge_n upon_o he_o and_o also_o protest_v that_o if_o we_o have_v profit_v well_o in_o his_o doctrine_n we_o shall_v come_v too_o the_o true_a mark_n whereunto_o we_o shall_v go_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o first_o less●n_n which_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v that_o our_o faith_n must_v not_o waver_v one_o way_n nor_o other_o but_o have_v a_o sure_a and_o unmoveable_a foundation_n too_o rest_n upon_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n god_n truth_n even_o as_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o sing_v that_o s._n paul_n be_v sufficient_o avow_a unto_o we_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o god_n spirit_n speak_v too_o we_o at_o this_o day_n by_o his_o mouth_n neither_o let_v we_o here_o the_o doctrine_n as_o though_o it_o be_v subject_a too_o our_o judgement_n but_o let_v we_o imprizon_n our_o own_o understanding_n &_o wit_n and_o receive_v it_o without_o scan_v except_o we_o will_v wilful_o make_v war_n against_o god_n and_o advance_v ourselves_o above_o he_o and_o so_o that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n furthermore_o too_o the_o end_n that_o this_o doctrine_n may_v not_o only_o be_v reverence_v among_o we_o but_o also_o be_v amiable_a too_o we_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v send_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n his_o father_n too_o bring_v we_o glad_a

find_v that_o our_o lord_n give_v not_o his_o word_n in_o vain_a now_o then_o see_v that_o in_o these_o day_n we_o see_v a_o number_n that_o find_v no_o taste_n in_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o be_v

now_o therefore_o when_o we_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o shall_v seem_v hard_a and_o uneasy_a too_o brucke_v let_v we_o not_o do_v as_o a_o number_n of_o mad-folk_n do_v which_o

upon_o god_n and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v too_o it_o we_o must_v be_v settle_v in_o it_o more_o and_o more_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v ever_o have_v a_o care_n of_o now_o in_o general_n it_o be_v true_a that_o peace_n be_v too_o be_v desire_v and_o that_o the_o very_a name_n of_o it_o be_v have_v in_o estimation_n among_o man_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o so_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o peace_n as_o too_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o god_n that_o in_o the_o end_n we_o make_v war_n against_o he_o and_o he_o proclaim_v we_o too_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o continual_a battle_n with_o the_o wicked_a for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o serve_v satan_n they_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o fight_v against_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v cold_a and_o negligent_a in_o that_o behalf_n but_o zealous_a in_o set_v ourselves_o against_o they_o insomuch_o that_o although_o they_o be_v in_o honour_n and_o credit_n yet_o let_v we_o abhor_v they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n let_v they_o be_v unto_o we_o as_o stink_v and_o loathsome_a thing_n and_o full_a of_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n though_o they_o boast_v never_o somuch_o of_o their_o greatness_n yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o they_o be_v drown_v with_o all_o their_o bravery_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n than_o that_o they_o shall_v so_o exalt_v themselves_o against_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v esteem_v the_o great_a man_n of_o the_o world_n no_o better_a than_o worm_n when_o they_o dare_v so_o bend_v their_o horn_n against_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o peace_n with_o they_o see_v we_o shall_v be_v fain_o too_o forsake_v god_n for_o their_o pleasure_n but_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v better_a that_o the_o world_n be_v turn_v upside_o down_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o now_o than_o if_o we_o knit_v together_o in_o god_n let_v we_o follow_v the_o rule_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o be_v so_o abse_z in_o

of_o through_o sharpness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o word_n that_o be_v couch_v here_o by_o s._n paul_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n as_o we_o be_v

among_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o primitive_a church_n 32._o so_o must_v the_o same_o appear_v among_o we_o too_o at_o this_o day_n saint_n paul_n then_o in_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v one_o

and_o keep_v as_o lay_v up_o in_o secret_a for_o his_o child_n for_o albeit_o that_o he_o make_v his_o daysonne_n too_o shine_v both_o upon_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o show_v himself_o liberal_a towards_o all_o without_o exception_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o scatter_v abroad_o the_o thing_n that_o serve_v for_o his_o choose_v according_a too_o this_o say_n of_o this_o psalm_n 21_o lord_n how_o

whereas_o saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o god_n life_n he_o show_v that_o in_o live_a according_a too_o our_o nature_n we_o have_v not_o our_o life_n of_o he_o whence_o then_o be_v it_o not_o god_n
