be_v child_n of_o the_o resurrection_n heir_n and_o actual_a possessor_n of_o glory_n yet_o our_o text_n speak_v not_o of_o they_o they_o be_v no_o more_o at_o strife_n with_o the_o world_n the_o clear_a sight_n of_o god_n have_v happy_o take_v away_o their_o sai_fw-mi h._n it_o remain_v then_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o the_o just_a on_o earth_n that_o our_o text_n speak_v that_o be_v of_o those_o that_o god_n have_v regenerate_v who_o resemble_v he_o in_o grace_n and_o holiness_n since_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o text_n which_o may_v not_o and_o ought_v not_o right_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o they_o for_o first_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n i_o prove_v it_o by_o three_o convince_a reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o any_o other_o the_o second_o that_o he_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o a_o father_n and_o the_o three_o that_o they_o resemble_v he_o that_o they_o can_v be_v bear_v of_o any_o other_o but_o god_n the_o scripture_n and_o the_o father_n especial_o s._n paul_n and_o s._n augustine_n be_v altogether_o for_o it_o when_o they_o say_v so_o often_o that_o justification_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o effect_n christian_n assemble_v all_o the_o force_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n assemble_v all_o prelate_n and_o all_o king_n assemble_v all_o priest_n and_o all_o pope_n 〈◊〉_d they_o can_v make_v

agree_v to_o since_o in_o the_o very_a school_n it_o be_v a_o common_a doctrine_n that_o creation_n be_v a_o work_n so_o proper_a to_o god_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o all_o other_o power_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o create_v so_o much_o as_o one_o grain_n of_o sand_n only_o and_o that_o neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v obtain_v of_o god_n that_o authority_n judge_n my_o brethren_n from_o the_o more_o to_o the_o less_o what_o we_o shall_v think_v of_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n which_o be_v a_o great_a benefit_n than_o the_o creation_n of_o a_o thousand_o world_n since_o the_o creation_n be_v but_o a_o passage_n from_o the_o nothing_o of_o nature_n to_o the_o be_v of_o nature_n and_o justification_n be_v a_o passage_n from_o the_o nothing_o of_o grace_n to_o the_o be_v of_o grace_n now_o there_o be_v without_o compare_v a_o great_a distance_n between_o grace_n and_o its_o privation_n then_o between_o nature_n and_o she_o the_o passage_n than_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a and_o the_o one_o require_v more_o force_n than_o the_o other_o why_o the_o whole_a world_n cost_v god_n but_o one_o word_n to_o make_v it_o but_o there_o be_v need_n of_o all_o his_o blood_n only_o to_o justify_v man_n nay_o there_o be_v need_n of_o all_o his_o blood_n to_o justify_v one_o man_n only_o for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o the_o dignity_n of_o grace_n be_v infinite_o high_a 〈◊〉_d that_o of_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v a_o participation_n of_o the_o 〈◊〉_d o●_n god_n as_o s._n peter_n teach_v we_o whereas_o nature_n be_v 〈◊〉_d a_o effect_n of_o his_o power_n from_o whence_o we_o must_v needs_o 〈…〉_o if_o creation_n can_v belong_v to_o none_o but_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o justification_n shall_v belong_v to_o any_o other_o in_o effect_n who_o can_v give_v a_o participation_n of_o the_o be_v of_o god_n but_o god_n himself_o and_o what_o but_o a_o infinite_a agent_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o a_o infinite_a production_n it_o be_v know_v that_o none_o but_o god_n be_v so_o then_o the_o just_a be_v bear_v of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o any_o other_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o this_o brethren_n be_v that_o god_n take_v a_o fatherly_a care_n of_o they_o for_o where_o do_v we_o ever_o see_v a_o father_n take_v so_o much_o care_n for_o his_o child_n as_o god_n take_v of_o the_o just_a he_o bring_v they_o up_o he_o feed_v they_o he_o protect_v they_o he_o advanceh_n they_o the_o whole_a scriptuto_fw-la speak_v unto_o we_o of_o no_o other_o thing_n almost_o in_o both_o testament_n you_o read_v at_o all_o time_n his_o tenderness_n and_o goodness_n in_o their_o education_n so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o

intend_v nothing_o by_o such_o different_a dispensation_n but_o to_o make_v they_o better_o if_o they_o want_v any_o thing_n for_o their_o spiritual_a nourishment_n my_o brethren_n he_o not_o only_o employ_v his_o grace_n and_o his_o virtue_n but_o he_o employ_v himself_o to_o nourish_v they_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o with_o all_o that_o he_o be_v as_o well_o as_o with_o all_o that_o he_o have_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o sacrament_n you_o doubt_v not_o of_o his_o protection_n since_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o preserve_v they_o as_o the_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n that_o he_o cover_v they_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n that_o he_o do_v compass_v they_o with_o a_o wall_n of_o fire_n that_o he_o watch_v day_n and_o night_n to_o defend_v they_o that_o he_o comfort_v they_o in_o their_o affliction_n that_o he_o uphold_v they_o in_o their_o prosperity_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v not_o be_v cast_v down_o by_o the_o one_o nor_o puff_v up_o by_o the_o other_o brief_o he_o assist_v they_o in_o all_o their_o need_n and_o declare_v himself_o a_o enemy_n to_o all_o their_o enemy_n what_o will_v he_o not_o do_v to_o

glory_n we_o have_v a_o admirable_a expression_n of_o it_o in_o one_o of_o st._n paul_n epistle_n where_o he_o show_v that_o god_n from_o eternity_n begin_v the_o advancement_n of_o the_o just_a and_o set_v it_o forward_o more_o and_o more_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n who_o he_o do_v foreknow_v say_v he_o he_o also_o do_v predestinate_a moreover_o who_o he_o do_v predestinate_a they_o he_o also_o call_v and_o who_o he_o call_v they_o he_o also_o justify_v and_o who_o he_o justify_v they_o he_o also_o glorify_v because_o of_o their_o call_n he_o have_v sanctify_v they_o and_o after_o their_o sanctification_n he_o have_v glorify_v they_o christian_n in_o earnest_n be_v not_o these_o the_o care_n of_o a_o father_n and_o of_o the_o best_a of_o all_o father_n tert._n tampius_n

a_o evident_a demonstration_n that_o the_o just_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o since_o none_o take_v most_o care_n of_o stranger_n but_o the_o great_a and_o most_o sensible_a argument_n to_o convince_v that_o they_o be_v in_o effect_n bear_v of_o god_n be_v that_o they_o resemble_v he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o 8_o of_o st._n john_n and_o of_o st._n john_n himself_o in_o the_o three_o of_o his_o first_o epistle_n and_o of_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o 9th_o of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n that_o a_o man_n be_v son_n to_o he_o who_o he_o resemble_v and_o of_o those_o who_o work_n he_o do_v if_o the_o work_n of_o abraham_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n if_o the_o work_n of_o god_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n if_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o devil_n here_o you_o see_v the_o great_a character_n of_o the_o filiation_n of_o the_o just_a this_o be_v it_o which_o do_v chief_o establish_v their_o right_n even_o that_o their_o conduct_n their_o life_n their_o work_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o a_o continual_a imitation_n of_o god_n they_o will_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o will_v they_o love_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o love_v they_o hate_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o hate_v so_o that_o all_o the_o true_o just_o may_v say_v with_o st._n paul_n that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o live_v in_o they_o and_o not_o they_o themselves_o that_o their_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o he_o and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o spirit_n then_o he_o so_o high_a do_v st._n paul_n raise_v the_o
