but_o hold_v himself_o whole_o too_o god_n calling_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o herewithal_o we_o have_v too_o note_n that_o saint_n paul_n boast_v not_o himself_o at_o all_o adventure_n as_o many_o harebrayne_n do_v for_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o preach_v with_o full_a mouth_n that_o god_n have_v send_v they_o when_o as_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v but_o fantastical_a fellow_n and_o satan_n very_a champion_n serve_v to_o overthrow_v all_o but_o by_o the_o way_n s._n paul_n in_o protest_v his_o call_n ment_fw-la also_o to_o show_v by_o who_o he_o be_v call_v as_o we_o have_v see_v here_o before_o and_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o he_o have_v be_v convert_v by_o miracle_n to_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o have_v be_v teach_v upon_o the_o sudden_a that_o god_n have_v by_o his_o mean_n wrought_v after_o a_o strange_a and_o unaccustomed_a fashion_n and_o not_o only_o that_o it_o have_v be_v open_o revel_v unto_o two_o or_o three_o man_n in_o the_o city_n of_o antioch_n that_o s._n paul_n be_v appoint_v too_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o also_o that_o he_o have_v good_a warrant_n of_o it_o in_o all_o place_n where_o he_o come_v because_o god_n utter_v his_o power_n most_o manifest_o in_o he_o so_o then_o when_o as_o s._n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n he_o presuppose_v that_o it_o be_v already_o sufficient_o justify_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o office_n of_o he_o and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o pretend_v be_v not_o a_o false_a surmise_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n who_o we_o see_v too_o much_o subject_n too_o vaunt_v of_o themselves_o therefore_o we_o must_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o s._n paul_n and_o all_o such_o as_o false_o boast_n and_o brag_v themselves_o too_o be_v send_v of_o god_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v who_o too_o beguile_v the_o wretched_a world_n and_o to_o maintain_v himself_o in_o his_o hellish_a tyranny_n which_o he_o have_v usurp_v say_v and_o oversay_v that_o he_o be_v the_o vicar_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o successor_n of_o his_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o cankerworme_n of_o his_o clergy_n who_o name_n themselves_o prelate_n together_o with_o all_o the_o horn_a beast_n and_o all_o the_o rabble_n of_o masker_n in_o the_o popedom_n will_v needs_o challenge_v that_o honourable_a title_n and_o if_o a_o man_n listen_v too_o believe_v they_o upon_o their_o single_a word_n they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o descend_v of_o the_o apostle_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v what_o likeness_n and_o agreablenesse_n they_o have_v too_o the_o apostle_n and_o also_o it_o stand_v they_o on_o hand_n too_o show_v by_o certain_a and_o infallible_a record_n that_o their_o call_n be_v approve_v of_o god_n in_o these_o day_n the_o pope_n and_o all_o his_o be_v too_o open_o prove_v too_o have_v falsify_v and_o corrupt_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o term_v the_o seruis_fw-la of_o god_n be_v nothing_o but_o stark_a abomination_n and_o moreover_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o among_o they_o but_o outrageous_a lie_n and_o falsehode_n yea_o and_o inchauntment_n of_o satan_n all_o this_o be_v know_v well_o enough_o but_o behold_v their_o shield_n wherewith_o they_o cast_v the_o mist_n that_o cover_v all_o their_o filthiness_n be_v that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o continual_a succession_n ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o they_o represent_v they_o and_o be_v the_o church_n and_o therefore_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o put_v forth_o must_v be_v take_v for_o good_a well_o gooto_fw-la if_o they_o which_o do_v nowadays_o take_v that_o title_n upon_o they_o will_v be_v herd_n they_o must_v look_v whither_o they_o have_v any_o resemblance_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o whither_o they_o execute_v the_o duty_n of_o good_a and_o faithful_a shepeherd_n but_o see_v they_o be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o order_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v in_o his_o church_n what_o shall_v man_n say_v to_o they_o yea_o say_v they_o but_o we_o have_v a_o continual_a succession_n from_o the_o apostle_n that_o will_v be_v show_v first_o of_o all_o they_o will_v allege_v some_o record_n howbeit_o very_a trifle_a one_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o may_v be_v say_v on_o the_o contrary_a part_n that_o there_o be_v as_o good_a successor_n in_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n as_o ever_o there_o be_v in_o rome_n and_o not_o only_o in_o some_o one_o church_n but_o in_o many_o as_o well_o of_o ephesus_n of_o colossus_n and_o of_o philippos_n as_o of_o other_o place_n and_o where_o be_v all_o this_o succession_n now_o if_o any_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o have_v any_o privilege_n and_o name_n himself_o s._n paul_n successor_n it_o be_v meet_v he_o shall_v go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o therewithal_o show_v good_a evidence_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v rereyve_v therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o at_o a_o word_n that_o when_o there_o be_v man_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o when_o there_o be_v shepeherd_n and_o overseer_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o they_o shall_v diminish_v the_o authority_n of_o god_n or_o prejudice_n aught_o that_o belong_v to_o he_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o alone_a shall_v not_o be_v honour_v &_o that_o our_o faith_n shall_v not_o rest_v upon_o his_o word_n but_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v always_o be_v hold_v under_o his_o obeisance_n mark_v that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n our_o lord_n reserve_v that_o right_a to_o himself_o namely_o that_o man_n shall_v not_o thrust_v themselves_o in_o through_o their_o own_o presumption_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v up_o &_o send_v by_o he_o now_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v there_o ought_v to_o be_v cause_n why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v discern_v and_o not_o believe_v at_o all_o adventure_n nor_o at_o random_n for_o satan_n champion_n can_v boast_v and_o crake_v enough_o and_o too_o much_o and_o stand_v in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n to_o wind_v themselves_o in_o by_o their_o presumptuousnesse_n but_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o try_v what_o be_v in_o they_o that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o god_n call_v and_o how_o do_v s._n paul_n speak_v of_o it_o here_o not_o on_o the_o behalf_n of_o man_n say_v he_o nor_o by_o man_n when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n not_o on_o the_o behalf_n of_o man_n it_o be_v a_o general_a point_n which_o ought_v too_o extend_v to_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n and_o too_o all_o shepeherd_n of_o the_o church_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o whereas_o it_o please_v god_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v prophet_n in_o old_a time_n and_o that_o afterward_o there_o shall_v be_v shepeherde_n too_o teach_v his_o people_n he_o bereave_v not_o himself_o of_o his_o soveraintie_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v too_o show_v that_o man_n must_v not_o govern_v here_o after_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v but_o as_o cipher_n in_o algorisme_n themselves_o save_v only_o for_o maynteyn_v still_o the_o title_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o give_v ear_n unto_o he_o so_o as_o the_o man_n who_o he_o set_v in_o office_n shall_v be_v as_o instrument_n or_o vessel_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o than_o we_o see_v whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o man_n for_o thereby_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v authorize_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v his_o servant_n the_o second_o point_n where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v by_o man_n belong_v peculiar_o too_o the_o apostle_n for_o although_o that_o we_o be_v call_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o allow_v of_o we_o yet_o be_v we_o nevertheless_o call_v of_o man_n and_o if_o that_o manner_n of_o call_v be_v not_o agreeable_a too_o god_n will_v s._n paul_n will_v not_o have_v use_v it_o we_o know_v how_o saint_n paul_n proceed_v in_o that_o case_n namely_o how_o that_o in_o every_o place_n where_o he_o come_v he_o ordain_v minister_n and_o shepeherde_n by_o election_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o do_v of_o his_o be_v lawful_a then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o undiscrete_o here_o condemn_v such_o as_o be_v call_v by_o man_n mean_n but_o only_o treat_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v peculiar_a too_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o apostle_n for_o that_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o apostle_n and_o such_o as_o have_v charge_n of_o particular_a church_n according_a whereunto_o the_o same_o state_n remain_v at_o this_o day_n and_o shall_v remain_v
to_o the_o world_n end_n for_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o chozen_v by_o election_n of_o man_n nor_o by_o the_o common_a policy_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o very_a mouth_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 24_o in_o somuch_o that_o when_o it_o behove_v the_o apostle_n too_o put_v another_o successor_n in_o the_o room_n of_o judas_n too_o make_v up_o the_o full_a number_n of_o twelve_o again_o although_o they_o themselves_o be_v there_o present_a and_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o disciple_n with_o they_o yet_o dare_v they_o not_o make_v any_o election_n when_o there_o be_v any_o chooze_v of_o a_o shepeherde_n for_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n or_o of_o antioch_n or_o of_o any_o other_o people_n this_o fashyon_n be_v use_v that_o be_v too_o say_v first_o they_o pray_v snto_o god_n and_o thereupon_o choze_v such_o a_o man_n as_o be_v find_v meet_a and_o convenient_a for_o that_o office_n but_o as_o for_o the_o other_o they_o refer_v it_o whole_o too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o cast_v lot_n for_o it_o as_o for_o a_o thing_n that_o pass_v their_o wit_n the_o cause_n as_o i_o say_v be_v for_o that_o it_o behove_v the_o apostle_n too_o be_v chozen_v by_o special_a privilege_n from_o above_o because_o they_o be_v the_o person_n by_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v too_o be_v publish_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o as_o for_o s._n paul_n he_o be_v chozen_v afterward_o but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v he_o have_v equal_a privilege_n with_o the_o residue_n because_o there_o come_v a_o revelation_n from_o heaven_n too_o show_v that_o he_o be_v admit_v too_o the_o execute_n of_o that_o office_n 2._o he_o be_v rapt_v up_o intoo_o the_o three_o heaven_n and_o we_o have_v see_v that_o he_o be_v well_o like_v of_o in_o all_o thing_n final_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v too_o be_v god_n will_v too_o give_v he_o a_o large_a commission_n and_o too_o have_v mark_v he_o out_o for_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentyle_n he_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n immediate_o which_o speak_v and_o utter_v the_o word_n from_o above_o you_o see_v then_o that_o s._n paul_n be_v not_o chozen_v by_o mean_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o manner_n of_o chooze_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o be_v no_o fault_n in_o those_o that_o be_v shepeherde_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n but_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o s._n paul_n shall_v be_v privilege_v too_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v be_v comparable_a with_o peter_n and_o john_n and_o with_o all_o those_o that_o have_v be_v conversant_a and_o keep_v company_n with_o the_o son_n of_o god_n while_o he_o dwell_v in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v in_o this_o mortal_a life_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o we_o owe_v too_o such_o as_o carry_v abroad_o god_n word_n and_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o shepeherde_n serve_v not_o too_o bar_n god_n from_o be_v herd_n continual_o nor_o to_o bar_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n from_o be_v the_o only_a schoolmaster_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o bear_v this_o school_n point_n well_o in_o mind_n or_o else_o our_o faith_n will_v always_o be_v subject_a too_o many_o variety_n and_o he_o that_o be_v cunning_a among_o man_n shall_v ever_o go_v away_o with_o the_o goal_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o have_v nothing_o certain_a but_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o change_v from_o day_n too_o day_n yea_o even_o every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o man_n allege_v the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o prelate_n or_o of_o bishop_n we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n that_o they_o can_v climb_v any_o high_a than_o too_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o first_o if_o they_o have_v be_v chozen_v by_o lawful_a order_n with_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o second_o if_o such_o be_v chozen_v as_o be_v meet_v that_o have_v in_o they_o wherewith_o to_o execute_v their_o office_n lo_o here_o the_o mark_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v and_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o they_o be_v such_o shepeherde_n as_o god_n allow_v and_o accept_v and_o herewithal_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n too_o be_v call_v too_o that_o vocation_n but_o he_o must_v also_o execute_v the_o charge_n that_o be_v commit_v too_o he_o according_a as_o s._n paul_n say_v not_o single_o that_o he_o be_v ordain_v a_o apostle_n but_o in_o take_v that_o name_n too_o he_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o bear_v abroad_o the_o message_n of_o salvation_n and_o too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o the_o world_n therefore_o they_o that_o will_v be_v take_v for_o bishop_n and_o prelate_n must_v teach_v and_o if_o they_o be_v idol_n and_o dumb_a dog_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o they_o do_v shameful_o mock_v god_n name_n and_o abuse_v his_o majesty_n so_o also_o man_n may_v reject_v they_o and_o despize_v they_o yea_o and_o that_o they_o ought_v too_o be_v hold_v as_o accurse_v because_o they_o pretend_v god_n name_n false_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o streyne_v now_o s._n paul_n say_v purposely_o that_o ●e_n be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o god_n his_o father_n who_o rayze_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a whereas_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v too_o bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o covet_v too_o obey_v god_n and_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o we_o must_v embrace_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o give_v ear_n unto_o he_o as_o too_o the_o only_a schoolmaster_n and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v submit_v themselves_o to_o he_o and_o too_o his_o doctrine_n for_o he_o that_o honour_v not_o the_o son_n honour_v no●_n the_o father_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o five_o of_o john_n 23._o and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a too_o be_v mark_v for_o every_o man_n will_v needs_o be_v think_v to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o too_o hold_v himself_o under_o his_o yoke_n but_o in_o the_o meanewhyle_o we_o see_v that_o the_o world_n fight_v against_o the_o gospel_n and_o noman_n can_v willing_o find_v in_o his_o hart_n to_o yield_v too_o it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o to_o he_o every_o of_o we_o play_v the_o rebel_n we_o be_v so_o wild_a that_o he_o can_v tame_v we_o whereby_o our_o faythlesnesse_n be_v to_o plain_o prove_v and_o we_o show_v ourselves_o to_o despize_n god_n how_o goodly_a protestation_n soever_o we_o have_v make_v before_o for_o he_o send_v we_o back_o to_o his_o son_n 12._o &_o will_v we_o to_o stoop_v to_o he_o to_o do_v he_o homage_n yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o we_o see_v and_o as_o experience_n show_v too_o much_o every_o man_n will_v shrink_v away_o from_o subjection_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n s._n paul_n therefore_o show_v what_o a_o majesty_n there_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o ought_v too_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n and_o to_o hold_v our_o peace_n when_o soever_o he_o speak_v and_o too_o receyve_v without_o any_o gainsay_n whatsoever_o he_o teach_v or_o procee_v from_o he_o and_o without_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n reject_v all_o the_o protestation_n that_o we_o can_v make_v of_o our_o desirousnesse_n too_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o thus_o be_v we_o exhort_v in_o this_o streyne_v to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o over_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sing_v he_o be_v our_o only_a shepherd_n thereby_o to_o show_v that_o we_o be_v his_o true_a sheep_n and_o that_o we_o harken_v too_o his_o voice_n and_o discern_v it_o from_o the_o voice_n of_o stranger_n now_o sing_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o we_o as_o we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o too_o he_o let_v every_o of_o we_o follow_v he_o and_o show_v that_o we_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n in_o deed_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o there_o be_v such_o unthankfulness_n in_o a_o great_a number_n that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o submit_v themselves_o even_o too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n saint_n paul_n do_v here_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n as_o a_o overplus_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n

after_o that_o manner_n where_o there_o be_v so_o good_a unity_n and_o agreement_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o false_a apostle_n which_o have_v abuse_v the_o galathians_n have_v shroud_v themselves_o

his_o doctrine_n not_o only_o not_o of_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o but_o also_o not_o of_o any_o of_o his_o apostle_n by_o this_o mean_v not_o only_a saint_n paul_n authority_n be_v diminish_v but_o

a●d_n john_n take_v apostolical_a authority_n too_o themselves_o also_o now●_n if_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o withstand_v such_o boast_v earnest_o and_o ●t●●utly_o it_o have_v be_v a_o yield_a

that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v ordain_v he_o to_o be_v a_o apostle_n and_o also_o that_o he_o be_v not_o inferior_a to_o any_o of_o the_o other_o but_o have_v the_o like_a

they_o and_o to_o be_v short_a they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o come_v as_o poor_a beggar_n before_o god_n but_o will_v always_o bring_v some_o present_n with_o they_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v be_v but_o abomination_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n for_o we_o too_o

sure_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o conceyve_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v we_o then_o come_v untoo_o he_o let_v we_o come_v utter_o empty_a for_o if_o we_o make_v

in_o that_o behalf_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v show_v his_o horn_n as_o they_o say_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n and_o show_v himself_o open_o too_o be_v god_n enemy_n every_o man_n will_v shun_v he_o and_o we_o will_v abhor_v he_o but_o he_o wind_v himself_o sly_o in_o and_o creep_v in_o at_o small_a cranny_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v wonder_v that_o he_o can_v prevail_v with_o we_o in_o sundry_a

of_o his_o own_o head_n but_o have_v obey_v the_o call_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v make_v he_o his_o apostle_n yea_o and_o he_o compare_v himself_o with_o john_n

which_o have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o that_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o be_v receyve_v ground_v himself_o upon_o the_o

so_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o be_v hear_v it_o must_v not_o be_v allege_v that_o he_o be_v witty_a and_o skilful_a or_o that_o he_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v much_o and_o be_v a_o man_n of_o

the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o by_o the_o way_n it_o ought_v too_o make_v paul_n doctrine_n of_o the_o more_o authority_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o bold_o in_o the_o

for_o we_o see_v that_o in_o other_o place_n he_o term_v himself_o a_o poor_a thing_n bear_v out_o of_o time_n and_o confess_v himself_o too_o be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v count_v in_o the_o number_n

in_o his_o set_n down_o of_o the_o mediator_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o many_o man_n have_v take_v this_o say_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o moses_n as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v call_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o doctrine_n but_o that_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n stand_v for_o paul_n do_v first_o set_v down_o

we_o see_v what_o saint_n paul_n discourse_v he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o diversity_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n for_o the_o

in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v oftentimes_o import_v force_n power_n or_o strength_n but_o here_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n make_v comparison_n between_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o angel_n he_o set_v down_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v assemble_v there_o to_o make_v his_o law_n to_o be_v hear_v among_o man_n and_o too_o be_v receyve_v of_o they_o without_o gainsay_v therefore_o they_o be_v as_o witness_n of_o god_n majesty_n but_o he_o set_v down_o the_o mediator_n as_o the_o great_a the_o hand_n therefore_o import_v direction_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o have_v high_a

the_o everlasting_a there_o he_o be_v name_v a_o angel_n therefore_o be_v he_o god_n messenger_n as_o the_o word_n betoken_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o everlasting_a that_o have_v my_o be_v of_o myself_o which_o say_v can_v not_o be_v verify_v of_o any_o creature_n and_o as_o for_o the_o angel_n they_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o as_o well_o as_o we_o then_o have_v it_o be_v high_a treason_n for_o a_o angel_n too_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o title_n that_o agree_v to_o none_o but_o god_n alone_o therefore_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o that_o angel_n be_v jesus_n christ_n 9_o who_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o mediator_n aforehande_v according_o as_o saint_n paul_n treat_v thereof_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o corinthian_n where_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o jew_n rebelliousnesse_n and_o of_o their_o provoke_v of_o god_n to_o displeasure_n by_o their_o murmur_a and_o wicked_a lust_n he_o say_v that_o they_o tempt_v jesus_n christ_n which_o lead_v they_o and_o guide_v they_o through_o the_o wilderness_n no_o doubt_n therefore_o but_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v even_o they_o the_o mediator_n yea_o even_o to_o reconcile_v man_n to_o god_n his_o father_n after_o diverse_a manner_n and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n say_v that_o the_o same_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v too_o day_n 8_o be_v yesterday_o and_o shall_v be_v still_o tomorrow_o even_o too_o the_o world_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v hold_v themselves_o too_o he_o and_o not_o wander_v any_o more_o in_o strange_a doctrine_n but_o now_o he_o add_v jesus_n christ_n then_o have_v be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o poor_a sinner_n may_v find_v some_o

in_o genesis_n for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jacob_n see_v a_o ladder_n upon_o the_o top_n whereof_o sit_v god_n in_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o angel_n go_v up_o and_o down_o upon_o that_o

have_v take_v upon_o he_o and_o bear_v our_o infirmity_n though_o he_o himself_o be_v without_o spot_n so_o then_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n be_v give_v long_o ago_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o

doubtless_o saint_n paul_n meen_n here_o be_v to_o gather_v again_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n in_o give_v of_o the_o law_n

we_o now_o shall_v we_o be_v wise_a than_o he_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o man_n wit_n have_v be_v so_o tickelishe_a to_o devise_v store_n of_o ceremony_n in_o the_o
