all_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v reckon_v up_o hitherto_o do_v spring_n out_o of_o charity_n he_o do_v right_o now_o exhort_v the_o colossian_n that_o they_o maintain_v charity_n among_o

merciful_a kind_n and_o easy_a to_o forgive_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o if_o they_o have_v charity_n for_o where_o as_o charity_n be_v miss_v in_o vain_a be_v all_o those_o thing_n require_v and_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v the_o more_o set_v it_o out_o he_o call_v it_o the_o bond_n of_o perfection_n whereby_o he_o signify_v that_o the_o whole_a

because_o nothing_o in_o our_o life_n be_v well_o frame_v that_o be_v not_o direct_v unto_o it_o but_o whatsoever_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a scatter_n but_o the_o papist_n be_v to_o be_v laugh_v at_o who_o abuse_v this_o testimony_n to_o build_v up_o justification_n by_o work_n charity_n say_v they_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o perfection_n but_o perfection_n be_v righteousness_n therefore_o by_o charity_n we_o be_v justify_v it_o be_v answer_v two_o way_n for_o paul_n reason_v not_o here_o how_o man_n be_v make_v perfect_v before_o god_n but_o how_o they_o may_v live_v perfect_o among_o themselves_o for_o this_o be_v the_o natural_a and_o true_a exposition_n of_o the_o place_n viz._n that_o the_o other_o thing_n shall_v fall_v out_o well_o concern_v our_o life_n if_o charity_n flourish_n and_o grow_v amongst_o us._n but_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o charity_n be_v righteousness_n in_o vain_a and_o childishlye_a do_v they_o out_o of_o that_o contend_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o charity_n for_o where_o shall_v perfect_a charity_n be_v find_v and_o we_o do_v not_o therefore_o say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o because_o to_o observe_v the_o law_n be_v not_o righteousness_n but_o rather_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v all_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n and_o without_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o we_o be_v be_v compel_v to_o borrow_v righteousness_n of_o christ_n therefore_o the_o only_a righteousness_n by_o faith_n remain_v because_o charity_n be_v in_o no_o wise_a perfect_a 15_o and_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n he_o name_v that_o peace_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o establish_v among_o we_o as_o shall_v appear_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o that_o will_v he_o have_v to_o reign_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o he_o use_v a_o metaphor_n that_o be_v very_o fit_a for_o as_o among_o wrestler_n he_o that_o have_v overcome_v all_o other_o carry_v away_o the_o palm_n or_o victory_n so_o will_v he_o have_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n to_o be_v superior_a over_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o carry_v we_o away_o oftentimes_o to_o contention_n disagreement_n brawl_n and_o privy_a grudge_n he_o forbid_v then_o to_o give_v the_o bridle_n to_o such_o naughty_a affection_n but_o because_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o hold_v they_o back_o he_o also_o show_v a_o remedy_n that_o be_v that_o the_o victory_n may_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n because_o it_o must_v be_v a_o bridle_n wherewith_o all_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v

which_o you_o be_v call_v declare_v what_o manner_n of_o peace_n this_o be_v namely_o a_o unity_n which_o christ_n by_o his_o guidance_n and_o authority_n have_v consecrate_v and_o establish_v among_o
