and_o therefore_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a either_o for_o the_o present_a life_n or_o for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n either_o for_o our_o body_n or_o

of_o it_o so_o as_o every_o man_n look_v at_o he_o and_o his_o seat_n be_v above_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v no_o

â—uershoots_v himself_o to_o abolish_v the_o whole_a sovereignty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o bear_v well_o this_o text_n in_o mind_n wherein_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appoint_v too_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o pope_n will_v affirm_v

touch_v already_o which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v have_v no_o imaginative_a title_n but_o will_v have_v his_o power_n reserve_v unto_o he_o which_o belong_v unto_o he_o for_o a_o head_n require_v not_o only_o too_o be_v set_v high_a but_o also_o too_o have_v all_o man_n too_o receive_v all_o thing_n from_o he_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o all_o too_o understand_v and_o that_o he_o be_v

among_o we_o by_o such_o channel_n or_o conduit_n as_o he_o think_v good_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v yet_o further_o brief_o too_o bear_v in_o mind_n this_o matter_n be_v lay_v forth_o more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o first_o chapter_n too_o the_o colossian_n for_o s._n paul_n show_v there_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 18._o be_v appoint_v too_o be_v the_o head_n even_o

the_o angel_n be_v create_v and_o in_o he_o they_o have_v their_o be_v or_o abide_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v cease_v to_o have_v have_v all_o pre-eminence_n both_o above_o and_o beneath_o though_o we_o have_v not_o fall_v with_o our_o father_n adam_n into_o such_o confusion_n as_o we_o be_v in_o but_o now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v our_o head_n after_o another_o manner_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o make_v we_o at_o one_o again_o with_o god_n his_o father_n and_o too_o gather_v we_o together_o again_o unto_o he_o from_o who_o we_o be_v estrange_v by_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o be_v our_o deadly_a enemy_n till_o we_o be_v bring_v in_o favour_n again_o by_o mean_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o forgive_a we_o our_o sin_n

it_o be_v a_o bereave_v he_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n his_o father_n have_v give_v too_o he_o alone_o let_v we_o be_v content_v that_o he_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o all_o his_o benefit_n upon_o condition_n that_o we_o acknowledge_v all_o thing_n too_o come_v from_o he_o and_o seek_v all_o thing_n in_o he_o for_o in_o the_o five_o and_o fortith_a psalm_n it_o be_v well_o show_v 8._o
