and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o perceive_v such_o fullness_n of_o god_n grace_n as_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v therefore_o s._n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n

and_o all_o our_o enemy_n now_o than_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o may_v be_v cast_v down_o and_o our_o faith_n at_o least_o wise_a sore_o shake_v if_o we_o shall_v

the_o holy_a father_n that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o we_o and_o all_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o martyr_n must_v with_o one_o common_a accord_n glorify_v our_o common_a head_n

before_o our_o eye_n but_o take_v away_o all_o impediment_n that_o his_o glory_n be_v not_o in_o any_o wise_n dim_v the_o very_a mean_a then_o to_o overcome_v all_o let_n that_o satan_n shall_v cast_v

gather_v upon_o this_o text_n true_a it_o be_v that_o by_o those_o word_n we_o be_v do_v too_o undestrand_n also_o that_o god_n distribute_v office_n among_o his_o angel_n as_o please_v he_o so_o as_o

the_o angel_n according_a too_o his_o degree_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o devilish_a malapertness_n than_o too_o babble_n in_o that_o sort_n of_o god_n secret_n further_o than_o god_n have_v make_v we_o privy_a too_o they_o by_o his_o word_n therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v ourselves_o content_v that_o the_o angel_n how_o noble_a so_o ever_o they_o be_v be_v ordain_v too_o be_v the_o

that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o but_o because_o he_o have_v gather_v we_o all_o together_o under_o jesus_n christ._n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o concord_n and_o brotherhood_n between_o we_o and_o the_o angel_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n add_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v obtain_v a_o name_n that_o be_v too_o say_v a_o majesty_n which_o be_v above_o all_o name_n as_o

and_o which_o we_o possess_v in_o he_o alone_o so_o our_o faith_n be_v settle_v whole_o upon_o he_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n 12._o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o must_v be_v save_v for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o morning_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v incomprehensible_a and_o dwell_v in_o light_n which_o we_o can_v approach_v unto_o 16._o as_o s._n paul_n term_v it_o jesus_n christ_n must_v as_o it_o be_v step_n in_o betwixt_o he_o and_o we_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v press_v bold_o unto_o he_o and_o know_v that_o he_o be_v not_o far_o distant_a nor_o far_o separate_v from_o we_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o name_n it_o be_v because_o god_n will_v be_v know_v in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n 39_o it_o be_v say_v herewithal_o 6._o that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o godhead_n as_o touch_v the_o essence_n or_o be_v we_o have_v but_o only_o one_o god_n and_o yet_o in_o jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v the_o lively_a and_o express_a image_n of_o the_o father_n etc_n so_o as_o there_o we_o find_v whatsoever_o be_v

the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o when_o man_n go_v about_o too_o seek_v god_n they_o enter_v into_o a_o terrible_a maze_n unless_o jesus_n christ_n be_v their_o way_n and_o leader_n thus_o we_o see_v now_o whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z and_o it_o be_v add_v also_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o only_o for_o this_o world_n but_o also_o for_o the_o other_o whereby_o be_v mean_v that_o the_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v suffice_v we_o for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n now_o it_o shall_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o there_o be_v some_o contrariety_n between_o this_o text_n and_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o fifteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n too_o the_o corinthian_n for_o there_o he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n too_o god_n his_o father_n of_o who_o he_o hold_v it_o and_o here_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v establish_v in_o all_o authority_n yea_o even_o for_o the_o world_n too_o come_v but_o these_o two_o agree_v very_o well_o for_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o

true_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o s._n john_n my_o father_n and_o i_o say_v he_o have_v always_o our_o hand_n at_o work_n there_o he_o show_v that_o the_o ordain_v of_o he_o too_o be_v ruler_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n sit_v unoccupied_a in_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v say_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n be_v continual_o near_a at_o hand_n too_o we_o when_o we_o seek_v he_o in_o

wherewith_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o as_o now_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v abse_z for_o he_o shall_v be_v then_o much_o better_a in_o his_o perfection_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o colossian_n that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o god_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n

name_n and_o also_o that_o he_o shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o why_o for_o we_o shall_v then_o see_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o conceive_v as_o now_o because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a also_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o whereas_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v be_v so_o glorify_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o be_v god_n of_o oneself_o same_o substance_n with_o his_o father_n this_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v full_o know_v then_o whereas_o now_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a shadow_n of_o it_o furthermore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v by_o god_n his_o father_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o advancement_n shall_v serve_v too_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ix_o of_o isaiah_n he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o for_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o also_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o he_o be_v in_o

even_o of_o heaven_n so_o as_o we_o may_v press_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o god_n and_o resort_v unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n as_o if_o a_o child_n shall_v cast_v himself_o into_o the_o lap_n

that_o be_v worth_a a_o straw_n in_o comparision_n of_o god_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n so_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v lay_v forth_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n &_o mercy_n of_o god_n his_o father_n but_o that_o it_o

insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n it_o intend_v not_o too_o assign_v he_o some_o peculiar_a place_n the_o respect_n be_v far_o differ_v and_o

the_o earth_n be_v his_o footstool_n not_o that_o he_o have_v any_o foot_n nor_o any_o seat_n to_o sit_v on_o but_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n so_o far_o or_o wide_o that_o can_v contain_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n which_o be_v infinite_a as_o i_o say_v that_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n when_o god_n be_v speak_v of_o unto_o we_o and_o why_o then_o be_v it_o say_v that_o god_n be_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n and_o why_o do_v saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n here_o of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v because_o that_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o earthly_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v his_o temple_n &_o palace_n in_o heaven_n we_o will_v tie_v he_o too_o every_o pillar_n to_o

how_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o he_o 9_o and_o when_o we_o say_v our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o he_o as_o

in_o respect_n of_o his_o essence_n he_o be_v equal_a too_o his_o father_n so_o as_o he_o fill_v all_o thing_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o have_v put_v on_o a_o humane_a body_n he_o be_v above_o the_o heaven_n so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v too_o fond_a a_o grossness_n too_o say_v why_o then_o and_o be_v not_o the_o two_o nature_n so_o knit_v together_o as_o

this_o say_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n now_o let_v we_o go_v back_o again_o to_o the_o word_n fill_v for_o therein_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o that_o the_o

we_o shall_v therewith_o ward_v all_o the_o dart_n of_o our_o enemy_n yet_o again_o he_o show_v we_o that_o of_o our_o own_o power_n we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o ward_v the_o blow_n that_o satan_n

man_n see_v that_o one_o shall_v soon_o â—ee_n hit_v unwares_o with_o dart_n than_o with_o spear_n or_o sword_n like_v as_o now_o adays_o a_o man_n shall_v soon_o be_v hit_v with_o a_o hargabusse_n

let_v we_o receive_v these_o warning_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o wake_v too_o apply_v the_o promise_n too_o our_o behoof_n which_o be_v give_v we_o in_o god_n word_n and_o he_o set_v down_o

now_o we_o see_v what_o the_o force_n of_o faith_n be_v now_o look_v how_o much_o be_v attribute_v too_o faith_n so_o much_o be_v take_v away_o from_o man_n for_o faith_n borrow_v all_o thing_n of_o
