daily_o according_o as_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o teach_v we_o too_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o that_o say_n be_v too_o be_v understand_v now_o furthermore_o s._n paul_n add_v as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o to_o the_o galatian_n that_o covetous_a folk_n be_v idolater_n 20._o true_o this_o matter_n be_v well_o worthy_a too_o be_v discourse_v more_o at_o length_n 5._o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o speak_v of_o it_o which_o may_v not_o be_v speak_v again_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o handle_v the_o epistle_n too_o the_o galatian_n i_o declare_v there_o why_o s._n paul_n call_v covetous_a folk_n idolater_n it_o shall_v suffice_v too_o touch_v the_o pith_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o few_o word_n for_o as_o touch_v other_o vice_n they_o do_v in_o deed_n make_v we_o too_o forget_v god_n what_o be_v the_o inordinate_a lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n everywhichone_o of_o they_o but_o idol_n for_o every_o man_n be_v harry_v away_o after_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o desire_v so_o as_o he_o set_v all_o his_o heart_n and_o mind_n upon_o they_o and_o forget_v god_n therefore_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o all_o wicked_a lust_n be_v idol_n that_o impeach_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o provoke_v we_o too_o strive_v against_o he_o yea_o and_o too_o shake_v of_o his_o yoke_n and_o too_o betake_v ourselves_o unto_o satan_n nevertheless_o covetousness_n be_v just_o call_v idolatry_n because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v once_o give_v himself_o thereunto_o he_o jet_v his_o whole_a felicity_n therein_o he_o be_v not_o like_o a_o glutton_n who_o have_v some_o remorse_n and_o shame_n of_o his_o naughtiness_n nor_o like_o a_o drunkard_n a_o whoremoong_a or_o a_o blasphemer_n for_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o shamefastness_n in_o they_o and_o why_o because_o they_o can_v so_o blind_v man_n but_o that_o they_o will_v speak_v shame_n of_o they_o for_o it_o and_o although_o the_o whole_a world_n clap_v their_o hand_n at_o they_o and_o know_v no_o whit_n of_o their_o lewdness_n yet_o shall_v they_o themselves_o be_v enforce_v too_o have_v some_o hartbyte_n you_o see_v then_o that_o all_o such_o as_o offend_v god_n any_o other_o way_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v shall_v yet_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n by_o some_o fear_n and_o have_v some_o remnant_n of_o discretion_n leave_v in_o they_o too_o say_v i_o do_v amiss_o and_o how_o much_o so_o ever_o they_o soothe_v themselves_o and_o fall_v a_o sleep_n yea_o and_o even_o utter_o harden_v themselves_o yet_o shall_v they_o be_v compel_v too_o feel_v some_o prick_n within_o but_o the_o covetous_a man_n do_v so_o rejoice_v in_o his_o do_n that_o he_o think_v not_o himself_o faulty_a neither_o before_o god_n nor_o before_o man_n but_o which_o more_o be_v glory_v in_o his_o wickedness_n for_o when_o he_o have_v fleece_v one_o and_o rob_v another_o of_o his_o good_n and_o deceive_v one_o and_o snare_v or_o entrap_v another_o thereupon_o when_o he_o cast_v up_o his_o account_n he_o will_v say_v bliss_v be_v god_n that_o have_v prosper_v i_o so_o well_o insomuch_o that_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o great_a cousiner_n in_o the_o world_n say_v thank_v be_v god_n i_o have_v make_v a_o good_a hand_n too_o day_n i_o have_v speed_v well_o this_o month_n i_o have_v go_v well_o forward_o this_o year_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o if_o they_o enter_v into_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o sift_v they_o thorough_o they_o shall_v find_v there_o that_o all_o be_v but_o thievery_n extortion_n craft_n and_o deceit_n howbeit_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o stop_v their_o eye_n that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o discretion_n nor_o conscience_n to_o say_v this_o be_v evil_n do_v forsomuch_o then_o as_o covetous_a folk_n be_v at_o that_o point_n that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o fear_n of_o god_n too_o stay_v they_o and_o hold_v they_o back_o therefore_o be_v they_o term_v idolater_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o mischief_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o worse_a point_n which_o be_v that_o they_o set_v all_o their_o felicity_n in_o their_o riches_n and_o do_v so_o forget_v themselves_o as_o they_o think_v there_o can_v no_o harm_n happen_v too_o they_o wherethrough_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o such_o pride_n that_o they_o thrust_v god_n a_o hundred_o league_n of_o from_o they_o as_o the_o proverb_n say_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v the_o rich_fw-fr man_n of_o this_o world_n 17._o not_o too_o trust_v too_o their_o good_n nor_o too_o exalt_v themselves_o for_o they_o he_o say_v that_o purposely_o because_o they_o have_v so_o great_a opinion_n of_o their_o riches_n that_o they_o fear_v not_o god_n but_o rather_o utter_o forget_v he_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o covetous_a folk_n abuze_n their_o riches_n by_o set_v their_o whole_a heart_n upon_o they_o which_o notwithstanding_o be_v forbid_v they_o 11._o by_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o psalm_n and_o by_o welter_v in_o such_o wise_n in_o they_o that_o too_o their_o own_o seem_n they_o have_v their_o paradise_n here_o already_o and_o therefore_o this_o curse_a disposition_n and_o insatiable_a lust_n of_o covetousness_n 10._o which_o make_v all_o man_n both_o drunken_a and_o blind_a be_v just_o name_v idalatrie_n and_o likewise_o all_o the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a because_o the_o covetous_a man_n seek_v always_o his_o own_o avail_v and_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o hook_n or_o by_o crook_n by_o murder_n or_o by_o treason_n by_o perjury_n or_o by_o poison_v or_o by_o whatsoever_o mean_v else_o all_o be_v one_o too_o he_o so_o he_o may_v compass_v his_o desire_n thence_o spring_v so_o many_o trouble_n and_o contention_n and_o so_o much_o bloodshed_n through_o the_o world_n that_o some_o be_v poison_v and_o othersome_a have_v their_o throat_n cut_v there_o be_v none_o other_o cause_n but_o this_o insatiable_a grippleness_n of_o covetousness_n true_a it_o be_v that_o ambition_n and_o whoredom_n and_o such_o other_o like_o vice_n draw_v a_o sort_n of_o foul_a inconvenience_n after_o they_o but_o yet_o do_v not_o that_o discharge_v the_o covetous_a

as_o it_o make_v we_o too_o forget_v god_n and_o make_v we_o so_o brutish_a as_o we_o stand_v no_o more_o in_o fear_n of_o god_n ne_o have_v any_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n and_o so_o puff_n we_o up_o with_o pride_n as_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o we_o yield_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o live_a god_n unto_o our_o gold_n silver_n &_o riches_n and_o that_o be_v so_o rank_a

of_o you_o too_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v too_o the_o intent_n you_o shall_v be_v whole_o change_v tod_fw-mi be_v bring_v unto_o this_o light_n for_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o sun_n but_o only_o too_o stand_v yd_o gaze_v upon_o it_o like_o folk_n out_o of_o their_o wit_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o we_o be_v better_o too_o have_v continual_a night_n but_o the_o sun_n must_v serve_v we_o to_o apply_v ourselves_o too_o the_o business_n which_o we_o have_v too_o do_v and_o too_o labour_n in_o get_v of_o our_o live_n every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o

in_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o know_v too_o be_v our_o duty_n now_o saint_n paul_n apply_v this_o similitude_n too_o the_o spiritual_a daysonne_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n say_v that_o it_o shine_v howbeit_o not_o for_o we_o too_o give_v ourselves_o too_o idle_a speculation_n but_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v set_v our_o hand_n too_o the_o plough_n and_o every_o of_o we_o look_v wherewith_o he_o can_v and_o ought_v too_o do_v service_n and_o thereupon_o make_v the_o light_n available_a that_o be_v offer_v he_o furthermore_o saint_n paul_n in_o

never_o stray_v you_o see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v sufficient_a of_o himself_o alone_o too_o give_v we_o light_v and_o that_o if_o we_o keep_v ourselves_o aloof_o from_o he_o

be_v exclude_v from_o that_o honour_n 8._o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o light_n but_o that_o that_o dignity_n belong_v peculiarly_a to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o inlyghten_v all_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n again_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o such_o as_o preach_v god_n truth_n be_v also_o term_v light_n in_o their_o degree_n 14._o when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v you_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n not_o that_o that_o belong_v proper_o unto_o they_o but_o because_o god_n serve_v his_o own_o turn_n by_o they_o when_o he_o deliver_v they_o his_o word_n to_o guide_v other_o by_o and_o to_o show_v they_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n now_o if_o he_o that_o bear_v the_o candle_n too_o light_v other_o man_n do_v reel_v and_o stumble_v and_o stray_v here_o and_o there_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o therefore_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o charge_n too_o preach_v his_o word_n we_o be_v warn_v too_o walk_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o every_o man_n may_v be_v edify_v by_o our_o life_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n this_o be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o too_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o

and_o we_o enlighten_v one_o another_o according_a too_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o text_n that_o i_o allege_v afore_o 15._o where_o he_o say_v thus_o too_o all_o the_o faithful_a you_o be_v as_o lamp_n burn_v in_o this_o world_n even_o by_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o light_n than_o which_o the_o scripture_n allot_v as_o well_o too_o the_o teacher_n as_o too_o they_o that_o be_v teach_v be_v that_o all_o of_o we_o must_v have_v god_n word_n which_o must_v be_v as_o a_o candle_n set_v up_o aloft_o and_o our_o life_n must_v so_o rule_v thereby_o as_o the_o unbeeleever_n may_v

in_o vain_a and_o so_o you_o see_v in_o what_o sense_n s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v light_v in_o the_o lord_n namely_o because_o god_n word_n ought_v too_o be_v as_o a_o burn_a lamp_n unto_o we_o not_o only_o too_o guide_v ourselves_o by_o but_o also_o too_o show_v the_o way_n too_o all_o such_o as_o otherwise_o shall_v go_v astray_o hereunto_o he_o add_v that_o we_o be_v child_n of_o light_n to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o our_o light_n come_v from_o elsewhere_o than_o of_o ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o borrow_v it_o of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n 12._o as_o i_o have_v allege_v before_o according_a whereunto_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o scripture_n name_v he_o again_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o true_a light_n 17._o whereby_o god_n appear_v unto_o we_o and_o whereby_o it_o be_v his_o will_n too_o enlighten_v we_o therefore_o be_v we_o the_o child_n of_o light_n that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v so_o i●●yghtened_v that_o god_n light_n be_v in_o we_o namely_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o communicate_v with_o he_o and_o he_o guide_v we_o by_o the_o light_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o inlyghten_v we_o also_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n work_v in_o we_o by_o faith_n he_o dreep_v it_o into_o we_o by_o measure_n as_o he_o himself_o think_v good_a as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o esteem_v god_n grace_n as_o it_o be_v worthy_a and_o as_o it_o deserve_v and_o thereupon_o turn_v it_o too_o our_o own_o benefit_n that_o it_o be_v not_o disappoint_v through_o our_o recklessness_n but_o that_o we_o may_v walk_v that_o be_v too_o say_v consider_v whereunto_o god_n have_v call_v we_o and_o every_o of_o we_o employ_v and_o enforce_v himself_o thereunto_o now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n

this_o therefore_o be_v a_o infastible_a order_n that_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a receive_v god_n grace_n and_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n hold_v jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o head_n too_o the_o

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

he_o be_v infinite_a and_o fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o again_o he_o have_v no_o body_n but_o be_v a_o spiritual_a be_v therefore_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v any_o place_n certain_a when_o god_n right_a hand_n be_v speak_v of_o and_o wehn_n as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n sit_v there_o it_o be_v too_o show_v that_o he_o fill_v all_o the_o world_n with_o his_o power_n

unto_o god_n spring_v up_o every_o whit_n of_o it_o of_o none_o other_o cause_n than_o for_o want_n of_o know_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n give_v unto_o he_o by_o

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

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

man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o degree_n and_o measure_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o these_o two_o text_n agree_v very_o well_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v give_v christ_n a_o name_n above_o all_o 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 heaven_n and_o that_o there_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o hide_a and_o which_o we_o taste_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o part_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o full_a possession_n of_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v give_v too_o he_o already_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n have_v purposely_o make_v express_a mention_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v he_o add_v immediate_o that_o god_n have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n his_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v too_o show_v that_o what_o soever_o thing_n we_o have_v need_n of_o if_o we_o can_v resort_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v able_a too_o succour_v we_o for_o he_o have_v wherewith_o too_o do_v it_o yea_o and_o
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 for_o our_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o run_v too_o s._n peter_n nor_o too_o s._n paul_n but_o we_o must_v go_v straight_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n second_o also_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v rule_v and_o too_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v show_v ourselves_o too_o be_v true_a member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o he_o can_v be_v our_o head_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o therewithal_o be_v our_o shepherd_n too_o and_o have_v all_o authority_n over_o we_o but_o like_a as_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v labour_v too_o deface_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n only_a son_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o angel_n so_o on_o the_o otherside_n he_o have_v send_v we_o a_o idol_n into_o the_o world_n too_o be_v a_o bar_n in_o our_o way_n that_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o we_o for_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o ashamed_a too_o spew_v out_o this_o blasphemy_n that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o headless_a body_n if_o he_o himself_o reign_v not_o over_o it_o ne_o have_v the_o universal_a dominion_n 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 more_o too_o do_v here_o but_o aught_o too_o hold_v he_o content_v with_o heaven_n and_o let_v his_o successor_n alone_o too_o rule_v in_o his_o stead_n but_o herein_o we_o see_v how_o he_o ●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 himself_o too_o be_v but_o as_o a_o underhead_n and_o therefore_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o thrust_v out_o of_o his_o place_n but_o let_v we_o look_v back_o too_o that_o which_o i_o have_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

thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v knit_v with_o the_o angel_n with_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o with_o the_o prophet_n with_o condition_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v

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 that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o fellow_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o we_o receive_v some_o portion_n of_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o

the_o same_o be_v dew_n unto_o we_o by_o our_o desert_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o hold_v fast_o this_o doctrine_n for_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v great_o for_o our_o whole_a life_n if_o we_o once_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o some_o one_o naughty_a touch_n but_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o evil_n in_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o mislike_n of_o

over_o their_o freewill_n but_o imagine_v very_o that_o they_o can_v partly_o further_o themselves_o thereupon_o they_o be_v always_o building_n of_o some_o desert_n and_o although_o they_o grant_v that_o god_n grace_v prevent_v they_o at_o the_o first_o yet_o they_o always_o mingle_v therewith_o some_o endeavour_n and_o good_a will_n of_o their_o own_o and_o when_o they_o flee_v unto_o god_n for_o release_v of_o their_o sin_n they_o bring_v he_o their_o own_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o same_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a free_o and_o whole_o

as_o god_n ordain_v it_o and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o jew_n use_v it_o holy_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a warrant_n to_o they_o of_o god_n adoption_n as_o if_o he_o have_v cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o the_o

he_o show_v that_o the_o sacrament_n take_v and_o borrow_v their_o force_n of_o god_n word_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nomore_o but_o the_o bare_a sign_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o great_a

and_o with_o a_o true_a affection_n that_o be_v the_o mean_n for_o we_o to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o too_o be_v short_a we_o may_v see_v here_o that_o all_o such_o as_o ween_v too_o obtain_v aught_o at_o god_n hand_n but_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v but_o range_v and_o wander_v in_o vain_a and_o shall_v always_o find_v themselves_o empty_a

all_o the_o earth_n over_o about_o other_o science_n what_o profit_n will_v come_v of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v but_o vanity_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o seek_v any_o thing_n

bear_v we_o for_o we_o see_v that_o when_o any_o man_n speak_v of_o god_n too_o the_o unbeliever_n it_o do_v so_o grieve_v they_o that_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o too_o become_v and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o matter_n of_o heaviness_n too_o they_o because_o they_o conceive_v nothing_o but_o rigour_n in_o he_o but_o when_o his_o grace_n and_o fatherly_a goodness_n be_v utter_v unto_o we_o as_o he_o have_v show_v it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o come_v we_o bold_o unto_o he_o and_o we_o be_v no_o more_o afraid_a of_o his_o seat_n but_o have_v familiar_a access_n to_o it_o and_o therein_o he_o do_v we_o a_o inestimable_a good_a turn_n such_o a_o one_o as_o surmount_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o can_v wish_v in_o this_o world_n according_a as_o s._n paul_n set_v we_o it_o down_o here_o and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o this_o say_n the_o love_n of_o god_n import_v and_o he_o say_v purposely_o in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o without_o he_o we_o can_v not_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n for_o let_v jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v let_v alone_o and_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n and_o that_o we_o do_v apply_v all_o our_o wit_n thereabout_o and_o therewithal_o that_o we_o bethink_v we_o of_o ourselves_o also_o what_o be_v all_o this_o we_o shall_v find_v such_o a_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n in_o god_n as_o shall_v swallow_v we_o up_o like_o a_o deep_a gulf_n again_o his_o justice_n be_v so_o perfect_a as_o it_o will_v be_v much_o less_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o stand_v before_o it_o than_o for_o snow_n to_o abide_v against_o the_o sun_n now_o when_o we_o come_v too_o ourselves_o we_o must_v needs_o see_v a_o sea_n of_o all_o misery_n before_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o sense_n be_v blind_a that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o virtue_n that_o we_o be_v give_v too_o all_o evil_a that_o we_o be_v hold_v down_o under_o the_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o nothing_o in_o we_o no_o not_o even_o of_o the_o excellent_a thing_n that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v which_o be_v not_o loathsome_a before_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o once_o know_v these_o two_o

afterward_o go_v seek_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o can_v be_v and_o let_v we_o call_v the_o angel_n too_o help_v and_o they_o will_v come_v never_o the_o near_o we_o for_o all_o that_o let_v we_o take_v the_o he_o saint_n and_o she_o saint_n and_o by_o what_o title_n can_v they_o belong_v too_o we_o nay_o rather_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o they_o and_o again_o will_v god_n who_o be_v the_o

no_o but_o contrariwise_o he_o must_v needs_o abhor_v we_o so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v here_o express_o of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o do_v just_o hate_v we_o so_o long_o as_o he_o behold_v we_o in_o our_o own_o natural_a state_n add_v immediate_o that_o the_o same_o love_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o

our_o triumph_n of_o it_o and_o so_o we_o see_v brief_o how_o god_n have_v love_v we_o in_o jesus_n christ._n again_o when_o we_o know_v this_o we_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o we_o must_v not_o

be_v not_o enough_o for_o every_o man_n too_o employ_v himself_o too_o the_o do_n of_o his_o duty_n but_o that_o we_o must_v also_o reach_v out_o our_o hand_n each_o one_o too_o his_o neighbour_n and_o brother_n so_o as_o god_n may_v be_v serve_v with_o one_o common_a consent_n among_o we_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o residue_n can_v be_v dispatch_v at_o this_o

my_o friend_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o every_o of_o we_o too_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o too_o abstain_v from_o all_o evil_a and_o too_o show_v himself_o well_o mind_v and_o zealous_a too_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o uprightness_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o mutual_a care_n one_o of_o another_o and_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v no_o serve_v of_o god_n if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o by_o all_o the_o mean_n we_o can_v that_o other_o may_v do_v the_o like_a and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a first_o that_o every_o man_n look_v too_o himself_o and_o though_o all_o the_o world_n be_v mad_a in_o do_v evil_a yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o which_o be_v teach_v in_o god_n school_n do_v

when_o other_o folk_n march_v on_o so_o fast_o afore_o and_o run_v so_o cheerful_o toward_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o here_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o eft_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o eft_o another_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v too_o set_v we_o a_o sunder_o but_o direct_v his_o voice_n too_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

of_o god_n to_o make_v he_o like_o our_o self_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o bethink_v we_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o have_v our_o mind_n weigh_v down_o to_o the_o world_n we_o must_v strive_v to_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

and_o have_v gather_v we_o too_o he_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o we_o live_v of_o his_o own_o substance_n yis_o he_o be_v with_o we_o all_o whole_a if_o we_o take_v he_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_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

lord_n jesus_n christ_n fill_v of_o all_o thing_n be_v by_o his_o power_n for_o he_o be_v not_o a_o king_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o who_o we_o see_v in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v

not_o so_o with_o jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o reign_v not_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n nor_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o worldly_a prince_n now_o then_o he_o reign_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o by_o the_o

more_o at_o large_a anon_o the_o other_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o enormity_n which_o be_v commit_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n &_o that_o man_n be_v so_o shameless_a in_o evil_a do_n or_o rather_o altogether_o bewitch_v and_o some_o so_o besot_v as_o a_o man_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n move_v they_o to_o learn_v too_o fear_n god_n when_o we_o see_v i_o say_v on_o the_o one_o side_n such_o stubbornness_n in_o man_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n so_o gross_a and_o beastly_a senselessness_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o spy_v ourselves_o there_o and_o too_o consider_v that_o god_n do_v we_o a_o singular_a good_a turn_n when_o it_o please_v he_o too_o touch_v we_o too_o the_o quick_a that_o his_o word_n may_v prevail_v in_o we_o for_o we_o differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o the_o

we_o and_o this_o aught_o too_o touch_v we_o well_o too_o the_o quick_a that_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v grant_v we_o be_v not_o darken_v and_o quite_o quench_v in_o the_o end_n so_o as_o we_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o bereave_v of_o it_o after_o this_o manner_n therefore_o ought_v we_o too_o apply_v this_o text_n too_o our_o instruction_n where_o saint_n paul_n set_v other_o man_n

by_o any_o example_n that_o may_v allure_v we_o too_o lewdness_n nor_o yet_o by_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o frowardness_n round_o about_o we_o for_o see_v that_o god_n have_v adopt_v we_o too_o be_v his_o child_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o live_v thereafter_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o faith_n import_v such_o a_o

be_v utter_o loathsome_a before_o god_n too_o the_o intent_n therefore_o that_o we_o may_v no_o more_o be_v deceive_v by_o they_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o until_o god_n have_v make_v we_o new_a

and_o stark_a beast_n that_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n wherefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o fall_v too_o our_o accustom_a byase_n and_o follow_v our_o

sometime_o also_o his_o understanding_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o here_o saint_n paul_n have_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o man_n understanding_n and_o his_o mind_n and_o his_o heart_n we_o may_v well_o think_v that_o he_o mean_v too_o add_v the_o will_n together_o with_o all_o the_o scanning_n and_o debate_n which_o we_o make_v in_o ourselves_o about_o the_o judge_a of_o good_a and_o

therefore_o like_a as_o erst_o he_o condemn_v the_o beastliness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o so_o now_o also_o he_o show_v that_o we●_z be_v as_o block_n and_o can_v be_v quiet_a too_o follow_v our_o god_n whither_o soever_o he_o call_v we_o but_o that_o we_o be_v stubborn_a and_o have_v stiff_a neck_n which_o can_v bow_v as_o moses_n also_o upbraid_v those_o that_o rebel_v against_o god_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o have_v a_o neck_n of_o iron_n or_o brass_n and_o even_o such_o be_v we_o too_o of_o nature_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v it_o say_v in_o ezechiell_n 26._o that_o god_n will_v

in_o we_o till_o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o alteration_n in_o we_o for_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o hardness_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v say_v that_o we_o be_v

for_o the_o last_o step_n we_o must_v come_v too_o the_o experience_n that_o we_o have_v in_o these_o day_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n be_v shed_v still_o at_o this_o day_n &_o god_n can_v well_o let_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o run_v so_o upon_o the_o bridle_n against_o the_o faithful_a he_o can_v well_o change_v all_o their_o mischeevousnesse_n and_o rebellion_n and_o
