gospel_n they_o may_v be_v convince_v of_o positive_a infidelity_n they_o add_v that_o also_o joh._n 3.19_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v man_n therefore_o be_v just_o damn_v for_o reject_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n heb._n 2.3_o how_o shall_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n for_o neglect_v salvation_n offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n as_o they_o comment_v upon_o the_o word_n we_o become_v guilty_a of_o just_a punishment_n therefore_o salvation_n be_v offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n these_o with_o some_o more_o be_v the_o proof_n bring_v by_o these_o learned_a man_n and_o they_o plain_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v accompany_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n with_o the_o assistance_n and_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n that_o man_n who_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o themselves_o be_v not_o in_o fault_n do_v receive_v from_o god_n both_o to_o believe_v and_o obey_v it_o now_o lay_v these_o thing_n together_o first_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v teach_v the_o right_a way_n to_o blessedness_n then_o that_o it_o use_v powerful_a persuasion_n to_o incite_v we_o on_o in_o this_o way_n and_o last_o that_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o that_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o may_v carry_v we_o along_o to_o our_o journey_n end_n and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n will_v easy_o result_v from_o they_o that_o therefore_o god_n word_n have_v much_o virtue_n in_o it_o and_o that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o eternal_o happy_a use_v 1_o this_o condemn_v they_o of_o folly_n who_o leave_v god_n word_n and_o seek_v other_o direction_n to_o eternal_a life_n such_o be_v the_o jew_n of_o old_a and_o such_o have_v be_v some_o ignorant_a

what_o the_o jew_n say_v in_o former_a time_n jeremie_n have_v tell_v we_o at_o large_a chap._n 44._o and_o whoso_o shall_v attentive_o consider_v his_o word_n will_v easy_o see_v how_o like_o our_o papist_n be_v to_o those_o jew_n the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v then_o all_o the_o man_n which_o know_v that_o their_o wife_n have_v burn_v incense_n unto_o other_o god_n and_o all_o the_o

but_o we_o will_v certain_o do_v whatsoeever_n thing_n go_v forth_o out_o of_o our_o own_o mouth_n to_o burn_v incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n and_o to_o pour_v out_o drink-offering_n unto_o she_o as_o we_o have_v do_v we_o &_o our_o father_n our_o king_n &_o our_o prince_n in_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n and_o in_o the_o street_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o than_o have_v we_o plenty_n of_o victual_n and_o be_v well_o and_o see_v no_o evil_n but_o since_o we_o leave_v off_o to_o burn_v incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n and_o to_o pour_v out_o drink-offering_n unto_o she_o we_o have_v want_v all_o thing_n &_o have_v be_v consume_v by_o the_o sword_n and_o by_o the_o famine_n jer._n 44.15_o etc._n etc._n in_o this_o passage_n of_o the_o prophet_n there_o be_v 2._o thing_n set_v down_o the_o resolution_n of_o this_o people_n and_o their_o reason_n for_o it_o their_o resolution_n be_v that_o they_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o word_n which_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o they_o will_v do_v what_o they_o do_v do_v that_o be_v they_o will_v burn_v incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o like_a be_v the_o resolution_n of_o some_o silly_a people_n say_v what_o you_o will_v or_o what_o you_o can_v out_o of_o scripture_n they_o care_v not_o for_o it_o but_o they_o will_v do_v what_o they_o be_v wont_v to_o do_v that_o be_v they_o will_v pray_v in_o a_o tongue_n whereof_o they_o understand_v never_o a_o word_n they_o will_v worship_v saint_n and_o image_n though_o they_o know_v not_o why_o and_o they_o will_v rest_v their_o faith_n on_o the_o pope_n dictate_v though_o they_o can_v say_v nothing_o why_o he_o may_v not_o mislead_v they_o but_o this_o they_o do_v and_o this_o they_o will_v do_v this_o be_v their_o resolution_n second_o we_o may_v consider_v their_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o wilful_a and_o that_o be_v twofold_a 1._o because_o they_o and_o their_o father_n have_v be_v accustom_v to_o do_v so_o heretofore_o as_o we_o have_v do_v we_o and_o our_o father_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o our_o poor_a ignorant_a people_n this_o be_v the_o religion_n wherein_o i_o be_v bear_v and_o breed_v and_o therein_o will_v i_o die_v thus_o my_o father_n and_o grandfather_n believe_v before_o i_o be_v bear_v and_o i_o will_v follow_v they_o who_o have_v go_v before_o i_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o they_o will_v continue_v in_o their_o resolution_n be_v because_o when_o they_o live_v in_o that_o faith_n they_o have_v plenty_n of_o victual_n and_o store_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o after_o they_o leave_v their_o sacrifice_v to_o idol_n they_o have_v scarcity_n and_o misery_n and_o want_n then_o say_v they_o we_o have_v plenty_n of_o victual_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o be_v our_o silly_a one_o wont_a to_o dispute_v oh_o say_v they_o when_o the_o old_a religion_n be_v on_o foot_n than_o we_o have_v so_o many_o egg_n for_o a_o penny_n and_o so_o much_o provision_n at_o a_o small_a price_n and_o poor_a man_n be_v able_a to_o live_v by_o their_o labour_n but_o since_o calvin_n and_o luther_n begin_v to_o reform_v we_o have_v scarcity_n and_o dearth_n and_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a world_n to_o live_v in_o thus_o our_o people_n be_v wont_v to_o reason_n for_o their_o old_a superstition_n and_o error_n and_o they_o speak_v so_o right_a in_o the_o very_a phrase_n and_o word_n of_o the_o idolatrous_a jew_n that_o i_o may_v have_v think_v they_o have_v borrow_v their_o discourse_n out_o of_o jeremy_n but_o that_o i_o know_v it_o be_v not_o their_o custom_n to_o read_v so_o much_o in_o the_o bible_n that_o they_o leave_v to_o these_o new_a man_n account_v it_o as_o the_o book_n of_o heretic_n and_o novelist_n a_o lady_n psalter_n like_v they_o better_o for_o a_o prayer_n book_n than_o david_n psalm_n and_o a_o festival_n or_o legend_n they_o esteem_v a_o better_a book_n for_o instruction_n than_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n but_o now_o if_o god_n word_n do_v teach_v the_o right_a way_n to_o heaven_n i_o pray_v you_o in_o what_o way_n be_v they_o who_o leave_v god_n word_n to_o be_v guide_v by_o such_o fancy_n and_o fable_n let_v jeremie_n be_v the_o judge_n then_o jeremie_n say_v to_o the_o man_n and_o to_o the_o woman_n who_o have_v give_v he_o this_o answer_n the_o incense_n which_o you_o burn_v in_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n and_o in_o the_o street_n of_o jerusalem_n you_o and_o your_o father_n do_v not_o the_o lord_n remember_v they_o and_o come_v it_o not_o into_o his_o mind_n so_o that_o the_o lord_n can_v no_o long_o bear_v because_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o your_o do_n and_o because_o of_o the_o abomination_n which_o you_o have_v commit_v therefore_o be_v your_o land_n a_o desolation_n and_o a_o astonishment_n and_o a_o curse_n without_o a_o inhabitant_n as_o at_o this_o day_n because_o you_o have_v burn_v incense_n and_o because_o you_o have_v sin_v etc._n etc._n therefore_o this_o evil_n be_v happen_v unto_o you_o jer._n 44.20_o etc._n etc._n in_o which_o answer_n we_o may_v consider_v and_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o note_n that_o their_o burn_a of_o incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n and_o their_o pour_v out_o of_o drink-offering_n unto_o she_o which_o they_o think_v be_v the_o true_a worship_n and_o say_v it_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o their_o plenty_n of_o victual_n and_o of_o all_o good_a thing_n be_v in_o very_a deed_n a_o abomination_n to_o god_n which_o he_o can_v no_o long_o bear_v and_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o the_o desolation_n &_o curse_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o they_o and_o so_o when_o our_o ignorant_a people_n say_v that_o the_o reform_a religion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o scarcity_n and_o want_n &_o that_o while_o they_o worship_v their_o image_n and_o saint_n there_o be_v plenty_n and_o store_n we_o may_v answer_v they_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o prophet_n word_n nay_o rather_o your_o superstition_n in_o burn_a incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n as_o they_o do_v and_o your_o wilfulness_n in_o refuse_v the_o truth_n when_o it_o be_v bring_v unto_o you_o as_o they_o also_o
