of_o god_n but_o because_o they_o do_v prefer_v the_o tradition_n of_o man_n far_o before_o it_o but_o what_o say_v christ_n namely_o this_o worship_n only_o be_v approve_v of_o god_n which_o he_o

the_o worthiness_n of_o their_o stock_n as_o if_o they_o who_o descend_v of_o a_o holy_a progeny_n be_v natural_o holy_a and_o they_o may_v worthy_o have_v brag_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o abraham_n if_o so_o be_v it_o they_o have_v be_v the_o lawful_a son_n of_o abraham_n and_o not_o degenerate_a child_n but_o the_o boast_n of_o faith_n arrogate_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o carnal_a beget_n but_o it_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o have_v receive_v all_o that_o goodness_n which_o it_o have_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n alone_o therefore_o john_n say_v that_o the_o gentile_n who_o believe_v

see_v that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o effect_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v set_v after_o he_o i_o answer_v that_o both_o of_o they_o do_v very_o well_o agree_v because_o we_o do_v both_o

that_o it_o may_v number_v we_o amongst_o his_o child_n for_o whereas_o the_o spirit_n do_v illuminate_v our_o mind_n that_o do_v now_o appertain_v unto_o the_o renew_v of_o us._n by_o this_o mean_n

he_o do_v insinuate_v the_o same_o figurative_o because_o he_o do_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o make_v they_o a_o flat_a promise_n to_o be_v brief_a he_o handele_v the_o unbelieved_a as_o they_o deserve_v and_o do_v also_o acquit_v himself_o of_o all_o contempt_n it_o be_v not_o yet_o evident_a that_o they_o be_v obstinate_a but_o christ_n know_v well_o enough_o how_o they_o be_v affect_v but_o here_o may_v this_o question_n be_v ask_v see_v that_o he_o do_v so_o many_o and_o diverse_a miracle_n why_o he_o touch_v one_o only_a in_o this_o place_n i_o answer_n that_o he_o conceal_v all_o the_o other_o miracle_n because_o his_o resurrection_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n withal_o second_o because_o he_o will_v not_o set_v the_o power_n of_o god_n before_o they_o to_o be_v mock_v and_o laugh_v at_o of_o they_o for_o even_o for_o this_o cause_n do_v he_o speak_v allegorical_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o resurrection_n three_o i_o say_v that_o he_o utter_v that_o which_o be_v fit_a for_o his_o matter_n for_o by_o these_o word_n do_v he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v all_o authority_n and_o power_n over_o the_o temple_n see_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o much_o in_o the_o building_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n of_o god._n and_o although_o he_o appli_v this_o word_n temple_n unto_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o matter_n yet_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n call_v a_o temple_n fit_o and_o convenient_o every_o one_o of_o our_o body_n be_v call_v a_o tabernacle_n 4_o because_o the_o soul_n do_v dwell_v therein_o but_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o house_n of_o his_o divinity_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v so_o put_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n that_o the_o eternal_a majesty_n of_o god_n do_v dwell_v in_o the_o flesh_n which_o he_o take_v as_o in_o a_o sanctuary_n and_o whereas_o nestorius_n do_v abuse_v this_o place_n that_o he_o may_v prove_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o christ_n be_v not_o both_o god_n and_o man_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v refute_v for_o he_o gather_v it_o thus_o the_o son_n of_o god_n dwelte_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o in_o a_o temple_n therefore_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a nature_n so_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o can_v in_o no_o case_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n but_o this_o argument_n may_v be_v apply_v unto_o man_n for_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o he_o be_v not_o one_o man_n who_o soul_n dwell_v in_o the_o body_n as_o in_o a_o tabernacle_n therefore_o this_o phrase_n be_v foolish_o wrest_v to_o take_v away_o the_o unity_n of_o person_n in_o christ_n judgement_n we_o must_v stand_v moreover_o this_o faith_n do_v only_o depend_v upon_o miracle_n it_o have_v as_o yet_o take_v no_o root_n in_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o it_o can_v neither_o be_v steadfast_a nor_o stable_a the_o child_n of_o god_n indeed_o be_v holpen_v with_o miracle_n that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o faith_n but_o that_o be_v not_o yet_o true_o to_o believe_v when_o they_o do_v marvel_v at_o the_o power_n of_o god_n so_o y_z t_z they_o believe_v simple_o that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v true_a but_o they_o do_v not_o submit_v themselves_o thorough_o unto_o the_o same_o therefore_o whereas_o mention_n be_v make_v general_o of_o faith_n let_v we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a faith_n which_o be_v only_o apprehend_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o do_v

always_o rest_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o regeneration_n note_v that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v not_o alike_o fruitful_a in_o all_o menâ—_n for_o they_o do_v bring_v some_o unto_o god_n they_o

true_a disciple_n but_o that_o they_o be_v contemn_v as_o frivolous_a and_o light_a person_n we_o must_v diligent_o note_v this_o place_n y_z t_z all_o they_o which_o do_v profess_v that_o they_o be_v of_o christ_n be_v not_o account_v to_o be_v such_o in_o his_o sight_n but_o we_o must_v also_o add_v the_o reason_n which_o follow_v immediate_o because_o he_o know_v all_o man_n there_o be_v nothing_o
have_v rather_o have_v he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o death_n then_o of_o life_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v not_o condemn_v whereas_o he_o do_v so_o often_o &_o so_o diligent_o

we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n whereby_o any_o man_n can_v escape_v death_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o death_n for_o those_o who_o reject_v the_o life_n that_o be_v give_v they_o in_o christ_n see_v that_o life_n consist_v only_o in_o faith_n alone_o he_o put_v in_o the_o preterperfectence_n of_o the_o verb_n emphatical_o that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o express_v that_o all_o unbeliever_n be_v quite_o undo_v and_o we_o must_v note_v that_o christ_n speak_v peculiarly_a of_o those_o who_o impiety_n shall_v bewray_v itself_o in_o the_o manifest_a contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o other_o way_n to_o escape_v death_n then_o to_o fly_v unto_o christ_n yet_o because_o christ_n intreat_v in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v to_o be_v spread_v abroad_o throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n he_o utter_v these_o word_n against_o those_o who_o do_v wicked_o and_o malicious_o extinguish_v the_o light_n which_o god_n have_v kindle_v 19_o and_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n that_o light_n come_v into_o the_o world_n

some_o there_o be_v who_o think_v that_o the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o damnation_n be_v only_o set_v down_o in_o this_o place_n but_o christ_n his_o intent_n and_o purpose_n be_v to_o tame_v the_o

how_o so_o ever_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o angel_n it_o be_v questionless_a that_o they_o be_v hypocrite_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n for_o no_o

it_o be_v no_o break_n of_o the_o sabbath_n with_o foot_n and_o hand_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o christ_n do_v chief_o speak_v of_o himself_o with_o who_o the_o jew_n be_v

that_o cease_v from_o the_o troublesome_a action_n of_o this_o world_n they_o do_v aspire_v unto_o the_o heavenly_a rest_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n of_o god_n be_v no_o loitering_n but_o a_o

notwithstanding_o too_o bold_o brag_v of_o his_o name_n but_o christ_n do_v in_o this_o place_n require_v no_o other_o honour_n at_o our_o hand_n save_v only_o that_o we_o obey_v his_o gospel_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o what_o honour_n soever_o y_o e_z hypocrite_n do_v give_v unto_o christ_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o y_o e_o traitorous_a
for_o they_o have_v no_o true_a and_o lawful_a reason_n to_o render_v why_o they_o do_v so_o because_o they_o seek_v in_o christ_n another_o thing_n than_o christ_n himself_o therefore_o this_o

unto_o a_o strange_a end_n he_o do_v worthy_o cast_v in_o their_o tooth_n that_o they_o have_v great_a respect_n unto_o their_o belly_n then_o unto_o the_o miracle_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o they_o do_v not_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v for_o this_o have_v be_v true_a profit_v so_o to_o have_v acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v give_v themselves_o to_o be_v teach_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o and_o to_o have_v go_v towards_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o be_v their_o guide_n but_o they_o look_v for_o no_o more_o at_o his_o hand_n but_o to_o be_v well_o in_o this_o world_n furthermore_o this_o be_v to_o spoil_n christ_n of_o his_o principal_a power_n for_o he_o be_v give_v of_o the_o father_n for_o this_o cause_n and_o he_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o man_n for_o this_o cause_n that_o he_o may_v reform_v those_o who_o be_v endow_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o

of_o gain_n some_o for_o fear_n some_o for_o their_o sake_n who_o they_o will_v please_v do_v profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christ_n his_o disciple_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o the_o seek_n of_o christ_n that_o contemn_v the_o world_n we_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o but_o because_o man_n be_v well_o persuade_v of_o

must_v prefer_v the_o heavenly_a life_n before_o the_o earthly_a because_o this_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o live_v to_o the_o godly_a that_o be_v as_o stranger_n in_o the_o world_n they_o may_v make_v haste_n into_o the_o heavenly_a country_n second_o we_o must_v mark_v the_o drift_n of_o this_o place_n because_o they_o do_v corrupt_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v addict_v to_o their_o belly_n and_o earthly_a thing_n he_o show_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o seek_v in_o he_o and_o for_o what_o cause_n we_o ought_v to_o seek_v he_o and_o he_o use_v such_o metaphor_n as_o be_v

set_v aside_o the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n to_o strive_v to_o attain_v unto_o the_o heavenly_a life_n but_o because_o they_o run_v to_o meat_n like_o beast_n christ_n frame_v his_o speech_n metaphorical_o and_o call_v all_o that_o meat_n whatsoever_o do_v appertain_v unto_o newness_n of_o life_n we_o know_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v feed_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n while_o that_o it_o work_v effectual_o in_o we_o through_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n what_o thing_n soever_o do_v nourish_v &_o further_a faith_n they_o be_v compare_v to_o meat_n he_o call_v this_o kind_n of_o meat_n uncorruptible_a and_o he_o say_v that_o it_o remain_v unto_o eternal_a life_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o feed_v for_o a_o day_n but_o that_o they_o be_v bring_v up_o unto_o the_o hope_n of_o bless_a immortality_n because_o the_o lord_n begin_v the_o work_n of_o our_o

and_o pledge_n of_o eternal_a life_n for_o although_o the_o reprobate_a do_v oftentimes_o refuse_v this_o meat_n have_v taste_v thereof_o so_o that_o it_o do_v not_o remain_v in_o they_o yet_o do_v

there_o be_v some_o show_n of_o contrariety_n these_o word_n yet_o these_o two_o thing_n do_v easy_o agree_v together_o that_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o

the_o sentence_n next_o go_v before_o because_o he_o be_v appoint_v by_o his_o father_n to_o this_o end_n the_o old_a writer_n do_v false_o wrest_v this_o place_n unto_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o

in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o feel_v it_o for_o bread_n do_v not_o begin_v the_o life_n but_o it_o cherish_v and_o preserve_v the_o life_n which_o be_v begin_v but_o we_o do_v not_o only_o retain_v life_n through_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n but_o we_o have_v the_o beginning_n of_o life_n through_o he_o wherefore_o the_o similitude_n be_v unproper_a in_o some_o respect_n but_o in_o this_o there_o be_v no_o absurdity_n because_o christ_n frame_v his_o talk_n according_a to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o talk_n have_v before_o the_o question_n be_v move_v whether_o moses_n or_o christ_n himself_o be_v more_o excellent_a in_o feed_v man_n this_o be_v the_o self_n same_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v only_o call_v it_o bread_n because_o they_o do_v only_o object_v manna_n unto_o

that_o i_o may_v so_o say_v but_o that_o they_o do_v borrow_v life_n of_o christ._n he_o which_o come_v unto_o i_o now_o he_o define_v the_o manner_n of_o eat_v namely_o when_o as_o we_o receive_v he_o by_o faith_n neither_o do_v it_o any_o whit_n profit_v the_o unbeliever_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n because_o they_o continue_v always_o empty_a but_o christ_n be_v make_v our_o bread_n then_o when_o as_o we_o come_v hungry_a unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v fill_v us._n to_o come_v unto_o christ_n and_o to_o believe_v have_v all_o one_o signification_n in_o this_o place_n but_o in_o the_o former_a word_n the_o effect_n of_o faith_n be_v express_v namely_o that_o be_v enforce_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o poverty_n we_o fly_v unto_o christ_n to_o ask_v life_n furthermore_o they_o who_o gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o the_o eat_n of_o christ_n be_v nothing_o else_o save_o faith_n only_o they_o reason_v scarce_o fit_o enough_o and_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o we_o eat_v christ_n no_o otherwise_o save_v only_o by_o beleevingâ—_n but_o the_o â—ating_n itself_o be_v rather_o a_o effect_n or_o fruit_n of_o faith_n than_o faith_n neither_o do_v faith_n behold_v christ_n alone_o as_o be_v a_o far_o off_o but_o it_o embrace_v he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v make_v we_o &_o dwell_v in_o we_o it_o make_v we_o to_o grow_v into_o one_o body_n with_o he_o to_o have_v one_o life_n with_o he_o and_o final_o to_o be_v one_o with_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n be_v eat_v by_o faith_n alone_o so_o that_o we_o do_v also_o understand_v after_o what_o sort_n faith_n join_v we_o with_o he_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o thirst_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v add_v contrary_a to_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o office_n of_o bread_n to_o quench_v thirst_n howsoever_o it_o do_v satisfy_v hunger_n therefore_o christ_n do_v attribute_v more_o to_o bread_n then_o the_o nature_n thereof_o do_v bear_v i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o do_v only_o use_v the_o word_n bread_n namely_o because_o the_o compare_v of_o manna_n with_o his_o heavenly_a power_n whereby_o our_o soul_n be_v hold_v in_o life_n do_v so_o require_v in_o the_o meanwhile_n he_o understand_v by_o bread_n all_o the_o whole_a sum_n of_o food_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o common_a custom_n of_o his_o country_n for_o the_o hebrew_n do_v take_v this_o phrase_n to_o eat_v bread_n by_o synecdoche_n for_o to_o sup_v or_o dine_v &_o when_o as_o we_o ask_v our_o daily_a bread_n we_o comprehend_v under_o the_o same_o

when_o the_o mediator_n be_v put_v between_o there_o be_v two_o epithet_n add_v true_a and_o only_o because_o it_o be_v necessary_a first_o that_o faith_n do_v distinguish_v god_n from_o all_o the_o

whenas_n we_o be_v come_v thither_o then_o his_o divine_a majesty_n do_v show_v forth_o itself_o then_o he_o be_v know_v whole_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n be_v know_v whole_o in_o he_o in_o sum_n he_o that_o separate_v christ_n from_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o father_n he_o do_v not_o know_v he_o as_o yet_o who_o be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n but_o he_o do_v rather_o forge_v to_o

do_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o fountain_n of_o life_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n alone_o and_o that_o all_o those_o which_o be_v stranger_n from_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o life_n now_o

and_o we_o be_v renew_a as_o paul_n testify_v into_o the_o image_n of_o god_n by_o knowledge_n now_o be_v it_o worthy_a the_o labour_n to_o gather_v three_o point_n together_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n bring_v life_n and_o salvation_n colloss_n 3._o 10._o second_o that_o all_o man_n do_v not_o receive_v life_n thence_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n his_o office_n to_o give_v

upon_o those_o who_o he_o illuminate_v into_o the_o say_v of_o the_o gospel_n whereby_o we_o gather_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o heavenly_a wisdom_n and_o of_o illumination_n be_v not_o common_a to_o all_o man_n but_o proper_a to_o the_o elect_a it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o gospel_n be_v offer_v unto_o all_o man_n but_o christ_n set_v forth_o in_o this_o place_n the_o hide_a and_o effectual_a manner_n of_o teach_v whereby_o the_o child_n of_o god_n alone_o be_v draw_v unto_o faith_n 4_o i_o have_v glorify_v thou_o he_o say_v thus_o for_o this_o cause_n because_o god_n be_v make_v know_v unto_o the_o world_n both_o in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o also_o in_o his_o miracle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o we_o know_v what_o he_o be_v whenas_n he_o add_v that_o he_o have_v finish_v the_o work_n which_o be_v enjoin_v he_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o call_n for_o that_o be_v the_o due_a and_o appoint_a

part_n of_o his_o ministry_n for_o although_o the_o principal_a part_n remain_v as_o yet_o to_o wit_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n wherewith_o he_o shall_v purge_v the_o sin_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o because_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n be_v now_o present_a he_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v death_n already_o this_o be_v therefore_o the_o sum_n that_o he_o may_v be_v send_v of_o his_o father_n into_o the_o possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o asmuch_o as_o have_v end_v his_o course_n there_o remain_v nothing_o else_o for_o he_o to_o do_v save_v only_o that_o he_o may_v bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o all_o thing_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o he_o have_v do_v upon_o earth_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o his_o father_n according_a to_o that_o of_o paul_n philippian_n the_o second_o chapter_n and_o seven_o verse_n he_o abase_v himself_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n therefore_o have_v the_o father_n exalt_v he_o and_o have_v give_v he_o a_o name_n etc._n etc._n 5_o with_o the_o glory_n which_o i_o have_v with_o thou_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v glorify_v with_o the_o father_n not_o that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o father_n glorify_v he_o inwardlye_o without_o any_o witness_n but_o thaâ—_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n he_o may_v glorious_o show_v forth_o there_o his_o
