raven_a wolf_n but_o again_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o saint_n mark_v gospel_n 30._o mark_v 10._o v._o 29_o 30._o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v leave_v house_n or_o land_n or_o wife_n and_o child_n for_o my_o sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o shall_v receive_v a_o hundred_o fold_v here_o and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v eternal_a life_n thus_o in_o many_o place_n be_v this_o truth_n make_v so_o clear_a to_o we_o by_o christ_n himself_o that_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v be_v so_o much_o a_o infidel_n as_o to_o practise_v the_o contrary_n but_o further_o to_o show_v you_o this_o truth_n observe_v this_o notable_a place_n concern_v this_o point_n where_o our_o saviour_n speak_v concern_v the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n declare_v for_o what_o cause_v some_o be_v save_v and_o some_o damn_a for_o to_o the_o just_a he_o say_v 34._o mat._n 25._o v._n 34._o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o tell_v they_o for_o what_o cause_v they_o be_v make_v eternal_o happy_a 35._o ver._n 35._o for_o i_o be_v a_o hungry_a and_o you_o give_v i_o meat_n i_o be_v thirsty_a and_o

do_v not_o do_v these_o good_a work_n which_o the_o other_o have_v do_v 42._o ver._n 41_o 42._o and_o so_o as_o the_o just_a by_o good_a deed_n have_v obtain_v heaven_n so_o the_o wicked_a by_o their_o evil_a one_o have_v obtain_v hell_n now_o i_o very_o think_v that_o if_o a_o heathen_a or_o jew_n shall_v read_v this_o book_n they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v rather_o make_v for_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n then_o for_o those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n and_o to_o believe_v the_o bible_n and_o yet_o to_o deny_v all_o this_o thus_o prove_v by_o the_o bible_n now_o have_v prove_v this_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n we_o will_v see_v what_o saint_n paul_n his_o apostle_n say_v who_o i_o will_v warrant_v you_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n as_o

the_o second_o to_o timothy_n he_o say_v i_o have_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o faith_n 7.8_o chap._n 4._o v._n 7.8_o henceforth_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o i_o a_o crown_n of_o

reward_n for_o those_o good_a work_n and_o declare_v that_o all_o that_o love_v god_n appear_v shall_v be_v reward_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o more_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 10._o heb._n 6._o v._o 10._o he_o speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n in_o this_o point_n that_o god_n be_v not_o unrighteous_a to_o forget_v you_o work_v and_o labour_n of_o love_n which_o you_o have_v show_v towards_o his_o name_n in_o that_o you_o have_v minister_v to_o the_o saint_n now_o you_o may_v perceive_v st._n paul_n opinion_n which_o be_v that_o it_o will_v seem_v unjust_a in_o god_n if_o he_o shall_v not_o reward_v our_o good_a work_n but_o as_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o god_n can_v be_v unjust_a so_o be_v it_o as_o certain_a that_o he_o will_v reward_v our_o good_a deed_n do_v in_o communion_n with_o his_o church_n which_o if_o our_o work_n do_v not_o deserve_v or_o merit_v we_o shall_v receive_v no_o reward_n at_o all_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_n receive_v a_o eternal_a

21._o to_o he_o that_o shall_v overcome_v will_v i_o grant_v to_o sit_v with_o i_o in_o my_o throne_n i_o may_v and_o can_v produce_v many_o more_o place_n out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n to_o this_o

that_o have_v any_o care_n of_o their_o salvation_n to_o consider_v first_o what_o god_n word_n which_o be_v truth_n itself_o declare_v to_o they_o and_o second_o what_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o

and_o have_v promise_v to_o reward_v the_o do_v of_o they_o according_a to_o that_o of_o saint_n john_n be_v thou_o faithful_a unto_o death_n and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o a_o crown_n of_o life_n 12._o rev._n 22._o v._n 12._o and_o behold_v i_o come_v quick_o and_o my_o reward_n be_v with_o i_o to_o give_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n chap._n 11._o prove_v that_o god_n church_n can_v err_v in_o her_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o may_v be_v trust_v in_o by_o every_o christian_a contrary_a to_o protestant_n opinion_n do_v the_o adversary_n of_o god_n church_n but_o consider_v with_o themselves_o what_o authority_n and_o courage_n and_o order_v it_o have_v exercise_v for_o this_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n they_o will_v sure_o conclude_v that_o no_o government_n but_o that_o of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n can_v ever_o perform_v the_o like_a for_o by_o its_o authority_n it_o have_v always_o suppress_v and_o beat_v down_o heresy_n and_o by_o her_o courage_n overcome_v all_o the_o torment_n and_o suffering_n her_o enemy_n can_v invent_v to_o lay_v upon_o she_o and_o by_o her_o order_n have_v ever_o retain_v in_o her_o member_n one_o uniform_a faith_n

that_o it_o be_v so_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_o to_o appear_v if_o you_o will_v believe_v christ_n himself_o who_o can_v deceive_v we_o where_o in_o saint_n john_n gospel_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o must_v go_v to_o his_o heavenly_a father_n to_o prepare_v they_o place_n at_o length_n he_o give_v they_o and_o his_o whole_a church_n this_o consolation_n and_o i_o will_v

apostle_n be_v not_o to_o remain_v for_o ever_o upon_o earth_n for_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v so_o that_o this_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o they_o and_o his_o church_n after_o they_o which_o be_v to_o remain_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o tell_v they_o who_o this_o comforter_n shall_v be_v even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n who_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o god_n church_n can_v err_v in_o what_o she_o declare_v to_o we_o of_o faith_n 17._o ver._n 17._o when_o god_n holy_a spirit_n be_v with_o it_o and_o again_o but_o the_o comforter_n 26._o ver._n 26._o which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n he_o shall_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n now_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o since_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o teach_v the_o church_n all_o thing_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o truth_n teach_v

now_o god_n have_v do_v his_o part_n in_o inspire_v of_o we_o he_o leave_v we_o then_o to_o our_o free-will_n to_o do_v it_o or_o not_o to_o do_v it_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v concern_v his_o chastity_n i_o can_v wish_v that_o all_o man_n be_v as_o i_o be_o but_o if_o man_n have_v not_o free-will_n to_o be_v so_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o he_o to_o wish_v any_o such_o thing_n of_o all_o the_o evil_a opinion_n that_o be_v hold_v by_o man_n there_o be_v none_o so_o senseless_a and_o unreasonable_a as_o this_o for_o i_o will_v demand_v of_o they_o that_o deny_v it_o wherefore_o they_o go_v to_o hear_v sermon_n if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o freewill_n to_o do_v what_o be_v there_o urge_v to_o they_o by_o the_o preacher_n and_o wherefore_o they_o read_v the_o bible_n if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o will_v to_o do_v what_o be_v there_o command_v for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o bare_a read_n of_o it_o will_v save_v their_o soul_n why_o do_v they_o chide_v and_o beat_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n for_o not_o go_v to_o church_n and_o serve_v god_n if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o freewill_n to_o do_v it_o why_o have_v they_o persecute_v catholic_n for_o not_o come_v to_o their_o church_n if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o freewill_n to_o do_v so_o and_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v god_n give_v we_o his_o law_n to_o keep_v and_o threaten_v we_o with_o damnation_n if_o we_o keep_v they_o not_o if_o we_o have_v no_o freewill_n to_o keep_v they_o and_o no_o man_n will_v think_v it_o otherwise_o then_o unreasonable_a if_o a_o king_n shall_v command_v he_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n and_o threaten_v he_o with_o death_n if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o and_o he_o have_v no_o will_n nor_o power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o i_o will_v have_v those_o man_n know_v that_o god_n be_v too_o merciful_a in_o his_o nature_n then_o everlasting_o to_o punish_v we_o for_o that_o which_o lie_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o do_v and_o that_o at_o this_o rate_n they_o will_v make_v god_n a_o tyrant_n over_o we_o that_o be_v so_o infinite_o good_a to_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o last_o why_o be_v man_n punish_v and_o hang_v and_o quarter_v by_o the_o law_n of_o justice_n for_o their_o evil_a deed_n if_o they_o have_v not_o have_v a_o freewill_n to_o have_v do_v otherwise_o all_o these_o punishment_n will_v be_v unreasonable_o inflict_v and_o no_o man_n deserve_v any_o punishment_n for_o the_o worst_a of_o crime_n if_o he_o have_v no_o freewill_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o the_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n may_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n demand_v

this_o verity_n i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o another_o subject_n as_o plain_o declare_v in_o scripture_n as_o this_o and_o so_o conclude_v with_o this_o truth_n that_o certain_o god_n will_v never_o
