live_v for_o ever_o but_o faith_n only_o see_v this_o for_o we_o say_v i_o believe_v a_o holy_a church_n but_o if_o thou_o believe_v reason_n and_o thine_o own_o eye_n thou_o will_v judge_v clean_o contrary_a for_o thou_o see_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o godly_a which_o offend_v thou_o godly_a thou_o see_v they_o sometime_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v weak_a in_o faith_n to_o be_v subject_a unto_o wrath_n envy_n and_o such_o other_o evil_a affection_n therefore_o the_o church_n be_v not_o holy_a i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n if_o i_o look_v upon_o my_o own_o person_n or_o the_o person_n of_o my_o brother_n it_o shall_v never_o be_v holy_a but_o if_o i_o behold_v christ_n who_o have_v sanctify_v and_o cleanse_v his_o church_n then_o be_v it_o altogether_o holy_a for_o he_o have_v take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n therefore_o where_o sin_n be_v see_v and_o feel_v there_o be_v they_o in_o deed_n no_o sin_n for_o according_a to_o paul_n divinity_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n no_o death_n no_o malediction_n any_o more_o in_o the_o world_n but_o in_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o have_v take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o

where_o else_o but_o in_o the_o world_n in_o the_o flesh_n or_o in_o sinner_n for_o a_o sophistical_a divine_a can_v speak_v no_o otherwise_o of_o sin_n christ_n then_o do_v the_o heathen_a

purge_v by_o contrary_a operation_n to_o wit_n by_o charity_n but_o true_a divinity_n teach_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n any_o more_o for_o christ_n upon_o who_o the_o father_n have_v cast_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n have_v vanquish_v and_o kill_v the_o same_o in_o his_o own_o body_n abolish_v he_o once_o die_v for_o sin_n and_o raise_v up_o again_o die_v now_o no_o more_o therefore_o whersoever_o be_v a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n there_o sin_n be_v abolish_v dead_a and_o bury_v in_o deed_n but_o where_o no_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v there_o sin_n do_v

impute_v unto_o they_o because_o of_o their_o faith_n in_o christ_n this_o be_v therefore_o a_o strong_a and_o a_o mighty_a argument_n which_o paul_n here_o prosecute_v against_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n law_n it_o be_v not_o the_o law_n nor_o work_n that_o do_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o everlasting_a curse_n but_o christ_n alone_o see_v therefore_o good_a christian_a reader_n i_o

be_v necessary_o under_o the_o curse_n but_o no_o man_n fulfil_v the_o law_n therefore_o all_o man_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n he_o add_v moreover_o a_o other_o proposition_n he_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o the_o law_n and_o work_n do_v not_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n but_o do_v bring_v we_o rather_o under_o the_o curse_n charity_n therefore_o which_o as_o the_o schoolman_n say_v give_v form_n and_o perfection_n unto_o faith_n have_v not_o only_o not_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n but_o rather_o it_o wrap_v we_o more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o curse_n this_o text_n than_o be_v plain_a that_o all_o man_n yea_o the_o apostle_n prophet_n and_o patriarch_n have_v remain_v under_o the_o curse_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o set_v himself_o against_o sin_n death_n the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n the_o wrath_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o overcome_v they_o in_o his_o own_o body_n for_o no_o power_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v overcome_v these_o huge_a and_o hideous_a monster_n but_o now_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o law_n or_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o a_o divine_a and_o humane_a person_n which_o take_v upon_o he_o sin_n the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n and_o death_n not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o wherefore_o all_o the_o weight_n and_o force_n hereof_o consist_v in_o this_o word_n for_o us._n we_o must_v not_o they_o imagine_v christ_n to_o be_v innocent_a &_o as_o a_o private_a person_n as_o do_v the_o schoolman_n and_o almost_o all_o the_o father_n have_v do_v which_o be_v holy_a and_o righteous_a for_o himself_o only_o christ_n true_a it_o be_v in_o deed_n that_o christ_n be_v a_o person_n most_o pure_a and_o

when_o thou_o believe_v that_o this_o most_o pure_a and_o innocent_a person_n be_v free_o give_v unto_o thou_o of_o the_o father_n to_o be_v thy_o high_a priest_n and_o saviover_n know_v yea_o

may_v be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o curse_n for_o thou_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o may_v deliver_v thou_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n you_o see_v then_o with_o what_o a_o apostolic_a spirit_n paul_n handle_v this_o argument_n of_o the_o blessing_n and_o of_o the_o curse_n while_o he_o not_o only_o make_v christ_n subject_a to_o the_o curse_n but_o say_v also_o that_o

be_v to_o say_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o curse_n and_o sin_n that_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n us._n yet_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v better_a to_o keep_v the_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a force_n and_o vehemency_n therein_o for_o when_o a_o sinner_n come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o in_o deed_n he_o feel_v not_o only_o

that_o can_v raise_v we_o up_o again_o and_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n death_n and_o hell_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o advance_v and_o extol_v the_o majesty_n &_o authority_n of_o
