most_o joyful_o and_o thankful_o receive_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o liberty_n that_o we_o may_v beware_v by_o the_o punishment_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o refuse_v freedom_n offer_v lest_o we_o be_v chru_v into_o perpetual_a bondage_n no_o city_n nor_o people_n in_o the_o world_n have_v great_a privilege_n of_o honour_n than_o the_o city_n and_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v now_o how_o just_o jerusalem_n be_v turn_v into_o sinai_n freedom_n into_o bondage_n glory_n into_o shame_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o stand_v upon_o any_o prerogative_n or_o privilege_n as_o though_o any_o thing_n can_v exempt_v we_o from_o the_o severity_n of_o god_n judgement_n if_o we_o reject_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v free_o offer_v if_o jerusalem_n escape_v not_o punishment_n for_o all_o her_o dignity_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o sodom_n or_o babylon_n which_o have_v no_o prerogative_n of_o dignity_n if_o they_o be_v call_v to_o liberty_n do_v still_o

church_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o present_a time_n or_o that_o have_v be_v these_o many_o hundred_o year_n they_o can_v speak_v little_a good_a of_o she_o if_o they_o will_v speak_v the_o truth_n that_o all_o man_n do_v see_v with_o their_o eye_n in_o this_o age_n or_o may_v read_v in_o story_n of_o the_o former_a age_n write_v by_o their_o own_o register_n but_o they_o have_v a_o great_a glory_n to_o bring_v forth_o the_o ancient_a commendation_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o scripture_n and_o old_a doctor_n do_v ascribe_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o godly_a conversation_n of_o the_o anrient_a christian_a roman_n the_o multitude_n of_o constant_a martyr_n which_o that_o church_n do_v yield_v in_o the_o space_n of_o two_o or_o three_o hundred_o year_n but_o all_o in_o

that_o be_v in_o those_o golden_a day_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n s._n paul_n in_o deed_n commend_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_n to_o be_v celebrate_v in_o all_o the_o world_n which_o

the_o same_o faith_n which_o s._n paul_n praise_v in_o the_o roman_n of_o his_o time_n or_o else_o it_o make_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n now_o but_o to_o her_o shame_n and_o reproach_n which_o be_v degenerate_v from_o that_o doctrine_n of_o liberty_n which_o of_o old_a time_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v embrace_v in_o those_o place_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_n of_o that_o time_n which_o s._n paul_n commend_v be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n be_v this_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n according_a to_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o the_o whole_a discourse_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n do_v they_o not_o teach_v the_o contrary_a direct_o that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n wherefore_o see_v the_o roman_n that_o be_v now_o have_v a_o contrary_a faith_n to_o the_o

the_o gospel_n which_o have_v submit_v themselves_o to_o to_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v now_o be_v turn_v into_o agar_n and_o the_o earthly_a zion_n into_o

it_o may_v best_o be_v find_v but_o if_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n be_v so_o straight_o as_o it_o will_v admit_v nothing_o but_o a_o perfect_v observation_n in_o he_o that_o shall_v have_v

you_o will_v be_v justify_v both_o by_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n you_o shall_v be_v justify_v neither_o by_o christ_n nor_o by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o

first_o hear_v the_o law_n the_o law_n in_o deed_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n to_o justify_v not_o the_o hearer_n but_o the_o observer_n the_o man_n that_o do_v all_o thing_n

contrary_a nature_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v join_v together_o in_o the_o attain_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n one_o transgression_n if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o in_o a_o man_n whole_a life_n and_o that_o never_o so_o small_a yet_o such_o be_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n as_o it_o bar_v we_o from_o righteousness_n and_o make_v we_o subject_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o

book_n of_o moses_n account_v that_o abraham_n have_v two_o son_n one_o of_o a_o bondmaid_n another_o of_o a_o free_a woman_n the_o one_o call_v ishmael_n the_o other_o name_v isaac_n ishmael_n be_v

such_o be_v ishmael_n her_o son_n and_o isaac_n be_v free_a as_o his_o mother_n sara_n be_v first_o we_o must_v observe_v here_o that_o this_o comparison_n be_v altogether_o within_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v ishmael_n and_o his_o posterity_n among_o they_o that_o be_v altogether_o without_o the_o church_n and_o profess_v open_a hatred_n against_o the_o same_o but_o even_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n even_o in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o occupy_v no_o small_a ro●mes_n in_o the_o church_n but_o even_o the_o high_a oftentimes_o as_o ishmael_n for_o a_o season_n be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o abraham_n be_v account_v as_o the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o the_o most_o principal_a person_n in_o all_o the_o household_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v at_o this_o day_n know_v who_o be_v the_o ismaelit_n we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o the_o profane_a nation_n of_o the_o turk_n and_o misereante_n that_o open_o despise_v the_o church_n of_o

they_o have_v their_o title_n so_o have_v ishmael_n they_o stand_v upon_o their_o prerogative_n and_o so_o do_v ishmael_n they_o will_v have_v a_o place_n in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n yea_o they_o will_v thrust_v out_o isaac_n they_o claim_v they_o say_v by_o the_o elder_a title_n to_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o church_n yea_o they_o ween_v they_o have_v the_o church_n itself_o in_o

but_o in_o the_o belfry_n they_o will_v straight_o way_n perk_v up_o into_o the_o chancel_n but_o soft_a a_o while_n my_o master_n we_o allow_v you_o no_o other_o place_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n then_o that_o which_o ishmael_n sometime_o occupy_v in_o the_o family_n of_o abraham_n and_o that_o in_o deed_n be_v no_o base_a room_n in_o outward_a appearance_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n for_o who_o be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n for_o sixteen_o or_o seventeen_o year_n but_o ishmael_n the_o elder_a son_n of_o abraham_n you_o who_o seem_v to_o have_v more_o right_a unto_o the_o inheritance_n of_o abraham_n than_o he_o that_o have_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o first_o beget_v but_o all_o the_o son_n of_o abraham_n be_v not_o the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o regard_v who_o make_v claim_n to_o the_o inheritance_n of_o abraham_n but_o who_o be_v right_o beget_v to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n for_o a_o bond_n man_n be_v capable_a of_o no_o inheritance_n and_o the_o child_n be_v account_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o such_o condition_n as_o his_o mother_n be_v therefore_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o bond_n woman_n have_v no_o just_a title_n to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o abraham_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v his_o elder_a

why_o there_o be_v but_o one_o heir_n but_o it_o be_v soon_o answer_v because_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o come_v to_o the_o inheritance_n and_o that_o be_v only_o by_o promise_n
much_o as_o no_o man_n be_v ever_o able_a to_o observe_v it_o except_o our_o saviour_n christ_n no_o man_n ever_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o it_o but_o by_o christ_n only_o and_o as_o the_o
