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

to_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n 20_o for_o whosoever_o do_v evil_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o do_v hate_v the_o light_n for_o this_o cause_n because_o they_o be_v evil_a

of_o all_o power_n thirdlye_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o we_o have_v not_o a_o baptism_n common_a to_o christ_n &_o to_o we_o see_v it_o sufficient_o appear_v that_o by_o this_o seal_n he_o

which_o i_o say_v before_o that_o john_n here_o simple_o discern_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n from_o himself_o and_o all_o other_o minister_n of_o baptism_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v above_o

we_o know_v how_o great_a jar_n there_o be_v in_o our_o age_n about_o the_o use_n &_o effecacy_n of_o the_o sign_n all_o which_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o whole_a institution_n of_o the_o

for_o this_o cause_n john_n do_v here_o describe_v christ_n as_o a_o severe_a judge_n against_o the_o unbelever_n and_o this_o order_n of_o teach_v must_v be_v observe_v of_o we_o that_o the_o

john_n warn_v they_o that_o they_o do_v foolish_o to_o be_v proud_a because_o that_o they_o possess_v a_o place_n for_o a_o time_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n out_o of_o the_o which_o they_o be_v short_o to_o be_v throw_v as_o chaff_n out_o of_o the_o floor_n in_o this_o manner_n he_o reprehend_v the_o corrupt_a state_n of_o the_o church_n because_o that_o it_o be_v full_a of_o husk_n weed_n and_o other_o filthy_a thing_n but_o be_v present_o to_o be_v purge_v with_o the_o lively_a voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o how_o be_v christ_n say_v to_o purge_v the_o chaff_n from_o the_o wheat_n who_o can_v find_v nothing_o in_o man_n but_o mere_a chaff_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a the_o elect_n be_v make_v into_o wheat_n that_o they_o be_v take_v from_o the_o chaff_n may_v be_v gather_v

therefore_o john_n call_v we_o thither_o but_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o faithful_a now_o at_o this_o day_n through_o hope_n do_v enter_v into_o the_o garner_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o

judge_v the_o whole_a world_n 9_o of_o sin_n now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o reprove_v of_o sin_n christ_n seem_v to_o make_v infidelytie_n the_o only_a cause_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v diverse_o wrest_v by_o the_o interpreter_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o will_v not_o declare_v what_o every_o one_o of_o they_o teach_v or_o think_v we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o note_n that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o spirit_n begin_v at_o the_o declaration_n of_o sin_n for_o this_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o spiritual_a doctrine_n that_o man_n beget_v in_o sin_n have_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o but_o the_o matter_n of_o sin_n furthermore_o christ_n make_v mention_n of_o infidelity_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v show_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v in_o itself_o for_o because_o the_o bond_n whereby_o he_o unit_v himself_o unto_o we_o be_v faith_n until_o we_o believe_v in_o he_o we_o be_v without_o he_o and_o divide_v from_o he_o therefore_o these_o

therefore_o infidelity_n be_v name_v in_o this_o place_n because_o it_o separate_v we_o from_o christ_n and_o so_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v in_o we_o but_o sin_n to_o be_v short_a the_o corruption_n and_o forwardness_n of_o man_n nature_n be_v condemn_v in_o these_o word_n lest_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o there_o be_v one_o drop_n of_o righteousness_n in_o we_o without_o christ._n 10._o of_o righteousness_n we_o must_v note_v the_o course_n of_o the_o degree_n which_o christ_n set_v down_o he_o say_v now_o that_o the_o world_n must_v be_v reprove_v of_o

unless_o they_o shall_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o sin_n especial_o we_o must_v thus_o think_v of_o the_o faithful_a that_o they_o can_v profit_n in_o the_o gospel_n until_o they_o shall_v be_v first_o humble_v which_o can_v be_v until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a function_n of_o the_o law_n to_o call_v the_o conscience_n unto_o

to_o life_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o borrow_v that_o first_o member_n of_o the_o law_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v and_o here_o understand_v that_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ._n christ_n place_v that_o in_o his_o ascension_n unto_o his_o father_n and_o that_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o like_o as_o as_o paul_n testify_v rom._n 4._o 24_o he_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n so_o he_o sit_v now_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n that_o he_o may_v exercise_v whatsoever_o power_n
be_v give_v he_o and_o so_o may_v fulfil_v all_o thing_n final_o he_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o the_o smell_n of_o his_o righteousness_n out_o of_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o the_o spirit_n pronounce_v by_o the_o gospel_n that_o this_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n whereby_o we_o be_v judge_v just_a therefore_o this_o second_o degree_n be_v fetch_v from_o the_o conviction_n of_o sin_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v convince_v the_o world_n what_o be_v to_o be_v account_v true_a righteousness_n to_o wit_n christ_n have_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v the_o kingdom_n of_o life_n by_o his_o ascend_n

i_o think_v the_o other_o sense_n do_v better_a agree_v to_o wit_n that_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v once_o light_v the_o spirit_n reveal_v that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o

restore_n whereby_o all_o thing_n be_v reform_v when_o as_o christ_n himself_o possess_v the_o kingdom_n alone_o have_v subdue_v and_o conquer_a satan_n therefore_o judgement_n be_v set_v against_o
