the_o way_n to_o come_v to_o heaven_n though_o they_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o way_n if_o ever_o we_o mean_v to_o come_v to_o heaven_n for_o as_o we_o be_v ordain_v to_o the_o end_n so_o be_v we_o ordain_v to_o the_o mean_n which_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o end_n if_o god_n have_v predestinate_v any_o to_o eternal_a

no_o man_n can_v feast_v with_o the_o lord_n this_o garment_n be_v call_v a_o armour_n because_o it_o defend_v we_o from_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n this_o garment_n be_v call_v a_o light_n because_o it_o be_v the_o beauty_n and_o glory_n of_o they_o which_o wear_v it_o this_o garment_n be_v call_v a_o kingdom_n because_o none_o but_o king_n do_v

have_v send_v unto_o we_o to_o go_v before_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n a_o holy_a garment_n a_o royal_a garment_n a_o immaculate_a garment_n a_o everlasting_a garment_n whereof_o

if_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n we_o be_v clothe_v with_o his_o obedience_n whereby_o our_o wickedness_n be_v cover_v we_o be_v clothe_v with_o his_o merit_n whereby_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o

on_o christ_n so_o that_o to_o put_v on_o christ_n be_v to_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n with_o all_o his_o virtue_n until_o we_o be_v renew_v to_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v like_o a_o

be_v without_o stain_n that_o wear_v it_o therefore_o when_o we_o have_v put_v on_o this_o garment_n we_o must_v wash_v ourselves_o and_o pick_v our_o way_n and_o choose_v our_o work_n that_o be_v we_o must_v not_o think_v as_o we_o do_v nor_o speak_v as_o we_o do_v but_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v change_v our_o master_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v now_o to_o

as_o christ_n first_o as_o lord_n that_o be_v our_o ruler_n to_o command_v we_o our_o tutor_n to_o govern_v we_o and_o our_o master_n to_o direct_v we_o we_o must_v be_v no_o man_n servant_n but_o he_o we_o must_v also_o put_v he_o on_o as_o jesus_n that_o be_v our_o saviour_n in_o who_o we_o trust_v our_o protector_n on_o who_o we_o depend_v our_o redeemer_n on_o who_o we_o believe_v we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o our_o salvation_n from_o angel_n nor_o saint_n nor_o any_o thing_n beside_o he_o for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n signify_v a_o saviour_n and_o be_v give_v to_o none_o but_o to_o he_o for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a saviour_n therefore_o when_o he_o be_v call_v our_o salvation_n it_o impli_v that_o there_o be_v no_o saviour_n beside_o he_o also_o we_o must_v put_v he_o on_o as_o christ_n that_o be_v a_o king_n to_o rule_v a_o prophet_n to_o teach_v a_o priest_n to_o pray_v and_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o us._n for_o the_o name_n of_o

teach_v he_o so_o than_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n as_o lord_n which_o worship_v none_o but_o he_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n as_o jesus_n which_o believe_v in_o none_o but_o he_o we_o put_v on_o christ_n as_o christ_n which_o hear_v none_o but_o he_o believe_v in_o none_o but_o he_o furthermore_o when_o we_o put_v christ_n first_o on_o be_v when_o we_o be_v baptize_v than_o we_o be_v seal_v and_o consecrate_v to_o his_o service_n for_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n we_o vow_v to_o renounce_v the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o serve_v god_n we_o have_v put_v on_o christ_n again_o when_o we_o be_v call_v and_o sanctify_v that_o be_v when_o we_o cast_v off_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_a with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o this_o life_n with_o the_o care_n of_o this_o world_n and_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v regenerate_v in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n to_o the_o image_n of_o

that_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v supply_v our_o unrighteousness_n and_o his_o suffering_n shall_v stand_v for_o our_o suffering_n because_o he_o come_v to_o fulfil_v

of_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v how_o peter_n and_o john_n go_v up_o into_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o to_o pray_v continual_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o
