neither_o they_o nor_o their_o father_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v this_o burden_n be_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v more_o intolerable_a to_o other_o then_o to_o the_o scribe_n

allege_v a_o more_o likely_a proof_n than_o these_o out_o of_o the_o roman_n namely_o that_o israel_n seek_v not_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o have_v stumble_v at_o the_o stumble_a stone_n for_o answer_v hereto_o we_o show_v before_o that_o the_o israelite_n make_v a_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o messiah_n even_o till_o the_o time_n that_o he_o plain_o show_v himself_o and_o then_o they_o reject_v he_o and_o yet_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v still_o to_o come_v their_o faith_n become_v as_o no_o faith_n they_o believe_v in_o a_o messiah_n which_o be_v to_o come_v but_o they_o stumble_v at_o he_o which_o be_v come_v and_o so_o he_o be_v unto_o they_o that_o stumble_a stone_n and_o rock_n of_o offence_n and_o so_o this_o word_n as_o or_o as_o it_o be_v be_v well_o add_v of_o paul_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o their_o doctrine_n and_o profession_n be_v not_o open_o nor_o direct_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o bare_a law_n but_o by_o their_o rebellion_n against_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v come_v they_o do_v as_o much_o and_o as_o they_o term_v it_o indirect_o so_o as_o it_o be_v they_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n when_o they_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n without_o the_o christ_n that_o be_v come_v though_o not_o simple_o without_o the_o christ_n they_o look_v for_o yea_o they_o ●eleeved_v that_o the_o ceremony_n do_v still_o offer_v and_o represent_v christ_n unto_o they_o &_o so_o make_v profession_n that_o to_o keep_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v to_o keep_v their_o faith_n and_o belief_n in_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v refuse_v christ_n come_v already_o and_o christ_n have_v abolish_v that_o law_n they_o may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o seek_v righteousness_n without_o faith_n in_o christ_n thus_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o doctrine_n &_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o have_v righteousness_n and_o atonement_n by_o christ_n who_o their_o sacrifice_n do_v signify_v but_o their_o deed_n and_o practice_n in_o refuse_v christ_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o seek_v righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n now_o those_o which_o refuse_v christ_n 13._o and_o believe_v not_o in_o he_o 40._o be_v utter_o separate_v as_o be_v show_v before_o from_o the_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o this_o matter_n be_v altogete_a against_o he_o 9_o as_o for_o that_o place_n of_o luke_o he_o abuse_v it_o too_o much_o for_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o pharisee_v which_o speak_v of_o matter_n as_o though_o they_o be_v when_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v not_o he_o allege_v for_o proof_n of_o all_o the_o pharisee_n doctrine_n first_o the_o fault_n of_o one_o pharisee_v if_o he_o have_v be_v faulty_a can_v not_o prove_v they_o all_o faulty_a then_o also_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o fault_n do_v show_v it_o to_o be_v no_o fault_n commit_v but_o imagine_v or_o suppose_v as_o if_o it_o be_v commit_v thirdlye_o christ_n in_o that_o place_n mind_v not_o to_o rebuke_v any_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n but_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o speak_v a_o parable_n unto_o certain_a which_o trust_v in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v just_a and_o despise_v other_o none_o be_v name_v to_o teeche_v any_o such_o doctrine_n but_o certain_a be_v rebuke_v for_o trust_v in_o themselves_o wherefore_o the_o like_a proof_n to_o this_o may_v i_o allege_v against_o he_o namely_o that_o very_o many_o in_o england_n both_o preacher_n and_o other_o do_v trust_n in_o their_o riches_n or_o power_n or_o wisdom_n or_o good_a work_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o the_o preacher_n in_o england_n do_v teach_v man_n to_o trust_v in_o themselves_o but_o as_o this_o proof_n be_v fond_a so_o the_o conclusion_n that_o follow_v be_v according_a for_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v as_o lawful_a and_o good_a as_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o scribe_n which_o teach_v untrue_o say_v he_o in_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o religion_n although_o he_o can_v prove_v such_o untrue_a doctrine_n yet_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o their_o ministry_n which_o fail_v in_o all_o point_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o they_o which_o fail_v but_o in_o some_o point_n for_o the_o dumb_a minister_n we_o prove_v to_o have_v no_o part_n nor_o work_n in_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o scribe_n he_o confess_v before_o to_o sit_v in_o moses_n seat_n to_o teach_v true_a doctrine_n to_o have_v a_o call_n by_o the_o church_n again_o they_o must_v needs_o edify_v more_o which_o preach_v much_o truth_n than_o they_o which_o be_v no_o preacher_n at_o all_o but_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a that_o if_o any_o preach_v much_o truth_n and_o yet_o do_v preach_v heresy_n withal_o they_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v as_o it_o be_v write_v 10._o reject_v he_o that_o be_v a_o heretic_n 18._o after_o once_o or_o twice_o admonition_n and_o though_o the_o church_n be_v to_o admonish_v such_o yet_o if_o it_o will_v not_o or_o can_v not_o than_o any_o man_n particular_o have_v this_o liberty_n to_o admonish_v except_o for_o his_o scornfulness_n and_o obstinacy_n he_o be_v unworthy_a and_o then_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o receive_v they_o to_o house_n 10._o or_o

good_a thing_n they_o offer_v unto_o we_o that_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v not_o well_o yield_v unto_o the_o ground_n hereof_o i_o take_v from_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o answer_n that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o ought_v until_o remedy_n may_v be_v find_v of_o so_o great_a disorder_n to_o be_v hear_v and_o receive_v so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v give_v we_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o christ_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n our_o saviour_n christ_n command_v that_o the_o scribe_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o that_o they_o teach_v true_o 2._o which_o honour_n our_o saviour_n christ_n will_v never_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o unless_o the_o church_n call_v have_v move_v he_o thereunto_o 〈◊〉_d have_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o people_n otherwise_o to_o have_v hear_v they_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o unfitnesse_n and_o unlawfulnesse_n in_o the_o ministry_n although_o another_o way_n be_v as_o great_a as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o read_n minister_v they_o be_v all_o together_o deceive_v in_o the_o messiah_n for_o neither_o know_v they_o that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n nor_o yet_o that_o the_o christ_n who_o they_o look_v for_o shall_v be_v the_o soon_o of_o god_n 22._o but_o hold_v he_o for_o a_o bare_a &_o nakedman_n 42._o it_o appear_v also_o that_o they_o teach_v the_o justification_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n not_o only_o in_o the_o eighteen_o of_o luke_n but_o even_o the_o very_a self_n same_o place_n where_o our_o saviour_n command_v this_o audience_n unto_o they_o for_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o they_o will_v not_o touch_v with_o one_o of_o their_o finger_n he_o say_v that_o they_o lay_v they_o upon_o the_o people_n back_n as_o burden_n which_o can_v not_o be_v bear_v whereby_o our_o saviour_n beside_o the_o pharisticall_a pride_n and_o lordlinesse_n in_o teach_v signify_v that_o they_o teach_v they_o to_o justification_n see_v that_o if_o they_o have_v only_o teach_v they_o as_o testimony_n and_o fruit_n of_o faith_n they_o have_v not_o be_v untollerable_a but_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v a_o easy_a yoke_n and_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v 5._o not_o grievous_a or_o heavy_a now_o the_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v not_o far_o off_o from_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o lawful_a ministry_n 11._o then_o to_o teach_v untrue_o in_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o religion_n neither_o be_v the_o edify_n of_o the_o church_n respect_v in_o make_v law_n for_o the_o ministry_n less_o hinder_v by_o a_o ministry_n teach_v false_a thing_n and_o that_o in_o so_o weighty_a point_n as_o by_o a_o unpreach_a minister_n and_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o may_v see_v what_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o prophet_n have_v be_v before_o who_o although_o they_o have_v oftentimes_o to_o do_v both_o with_o false_a teacher_n and_o priest_n that_o dumb_a dog_n and_o not_o able_a to_o bark_v 58._o yet_o give_v the_o people_n warning_n of_o their_o corruption_n and_o insufficientnesse_n threaten_v also_o the_o cast_v they_o from_o the_o ministry_n in_o the_o good_a time_n when_o the_o lord_n shall_v

unto_o they_o yea_o our_o saviour_n that_o live_v in_o the_o corrupte_v time_n of_o the_o church_n and_o when_o thing_n be_v most_o confuse_a and_o few_o step_n of_o any_o lawful_a calling_n to_o be_v
