to_o god_n this_o question_n do_v the_o pope_n answer_v pleasaunt_o because_o he_o say_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v divine_a oracle_n whatsoever_o it_o have_v please_v he_o to_o blunder_v out_o

the_o apostle_n will_v never_o have_v attempt_v the_o do_v of_o miracle_n unless_o they_o have_v be_v first_o certify_v of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n whereupon_o the_o effect_n do_v depend_v for_o

may_v have_v set_v himself_o to_o be_v laugh_v at_o unless_o he_o have_v already_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v that_o he_o pray_v apart_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v the_o author_n

extol_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n alone_o make_v thy_o bed_n these_o circumstance_n do_v amplify_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o miracle_n in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o recover_v strength_n to_o

all_o those_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o miracle_n be_v publish_v abroad_o and_o be_v know_v throughout_o the_o whole_a city_n for_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v all_o it_o do_v not_o

with_o a_o prompt_a and_o ready_a mind_n they_o embrace_v his_o word_n therefore_o faith_n must_v begin_v with_o this_o readiness_n and_o willing_a desire_n to_o obey_v but_o because_o many_o do_v

embrace_v furthermore_o this_o example_n ought_v to_o make_v we_o not_o a_o little_a ashamed_a for_o whereas_o there_o be_v a_o great_a multitude_n convert_v unto_o christ_n with_o one_o sermon_n a_o

reason_n why_o i_o will_v rather_o have_v break_v of_o bread_n to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n in_o this_o place_n be_v this_o because_o luke_n do_v reckon_v up_o those_o thing_n

but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n but_o he_o shall_v have_v assay_v nothing_o which_o be_v manifest_o contrary_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n but_o

and_o take_v a_o delight_n in_o his_o curiosity_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o throw_v himself_o headlong_o with_o devilish_a boldness_n and_o luke_n do_v not_o only_o declare_v that_o these_o man_n

therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o join_v together_o these_o two_o virtue_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n commend_v in_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v draw_v into_o the_o field_n by_o the_o wicked_a

for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sacrilegious_a partition_n if_o faith_n shall_v depend_v even_o but_o a_o very_a little_a upon_o man_n so_o those_o man_n do_v open_o mock_v god_n who_o feign_v that_o they_o have_v he_o to_o be_v their_o teacher_n when_o they_o set_v nought_o by_o the_o minister_n by_o who_o he_o speak_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n deny_v that_o they_o invent_v that_o decree_n of_o

which_o we_o prove_v to_o be_v their_o own_o invention_n therefore_o they_o do_v foolish_o urge_v this_o clause_n it_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o because_o if_o the_o apostle_n decree_v any_o thing_n

the_o pope_n have_v make_v such_o law_n as_o seem_v best_a to_o he_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o mean_v to_o govern_v the_o church_n and_o that_o not_o ten_o or_o twenty_o

that_o they_o mean_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o set_v down_o a_o perpetual_a law_n whereby_o they_o may_v bind_v the_o faithful_a what_o then_o they_o use_v that_o remedy_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o

yet_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o in_o general_n 32_o i_o commend_v you_o to_o god_n he_o use_v a_o prayer_n which_o in_o a_o oration_n serve_v to_o

because_o he_o be_v burden_v to_o be_v a_o raiser_n of_o tumult_n therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v false_o and_o unjust_o accuse_v because_o the_o adversary_n have_v never_o prove_v

that_o this_o be_v add_v like_o to_o a_o concession_n because_o the_o enemy_n take_v that_o in_o evil_a part_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o judgement_n and_o right_a election_n as_o if_o paul_n have_v say_v that_o that_o form_n of_o religion_n which_o he_o have_v follow_v be_v in_o deed_n call_v heresy_n but_o unworthelie_o but_o see_v that_o name_n be_v not_o infamous_a either_o among_o the_o jew_n or_o gentile_n it_o be_v unlikely_a that_o he_o make_v answer_v before_o a_o profane_a man_n touch_v that_o which_o they_o count_v every_o where_o rather_o a_o commendation_n than_o any_o vice_n when_o christian_n have_v conference_n together_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n command_v that_o heretic_n be_v count_v detectable_a and_o he_o teach_v we_o to_o beware_v of_o heresy_n

it_o remain_v that_o he_o do_v either_o mean_a that_o he_o be_v a_o pharisee_n or_o that_o he_o call_v the_o jewish_a religion_n or_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n without_o infamy_n heresy_n

notwithstanding_o they_o both_o worship_v one_o god_n i_o say_v he_o worship_v the_o same_o god_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n deliver_v by_o my_o ancestor_n which_o they_o themselves_o worship_n

we_o must_v seek_v for_o christ_n no_o where_n else_o save_v only_o in_o heaven_n while_o that_o we_o hope_v for_o the_o last_o restore_n of_o all_o thing_n because_o he_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o we_o until_o our_o mind_n ascend_v high_a above_o the_o world_n until_o the_o time_n of_o restore_v as_o touch_v the_o force_n and_o cause_n christ_n have_v already_o restore_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o death_n but_o the_o effect_n do_v not_o yet_o full_o appear_v because_o that_o restore_n be_v yet_o in_o the_o course_n and_o so_o consequent_o our_o redemption_n for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v yet_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o servitude_n for_o as_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o begin_v and_o the_o perfection_n thereof_o be_v defer_v until_o the_o last_o day_n so_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v annex_v thereunto_o do_v now_o appear_v only_o in_o part_n therefore_o if_o at_o this_o day_n we_o see_v many_o thing_n confuse_v in_o the_o world_n let_v this_o hope_n set_v we_o upon_o foot_n and_o refresh_v we_o that_o christ_n shall_v once_o come_v that_o he_o may_v restore_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n if_o we_o see_v the_o relic_n of_o sin_n hang_v on_o we_o if_o we_o be_v inviron_v on_o every_o side_n with_o diverse_a misery_n if_o the_o world_n be_v full_a of_o waste_v and_o scatter_v abroad_o let_v we_o bewail_v these_o misery_n yet_o so_o that_o we_o be_v uphold_v with_o the_o hope_n of_o restore_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o christ_n do_v not_o appear_v by_o and_o by_o because_o the_o warfare_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o yet_o full_a who_o time_n see_v it_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o prevent_v the_o same_o which_o he_o speak_v i_o do_v not_o expound_v this_o of_o the_o time_n alone_o but_o i_o refer_v it_o unto_o the_o whole_a period_n so_o that_o the_o sense_n be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v speak_v before_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v witness_v by_o all_o the_o prophet_n certes_o the_o gospel_n do_v win_v no_o small_a credit_n hereby_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n begin_v to_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n he_o do_v always_o set_v

16.25_o rom._n 1.1_o &_o 16.25_o this_o be_v true_a antiquity_n which_o be_v able_a to_o purchase_v credit_n to_o doctrine_n when_o as_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o author_n the_o holy_a prophet_n the_o witness_n and_o the_o continual_a course_n of_o time_n confirm_v the_o testimony_n this_o confirmation_n be_v especial_o necessary_a for_o the_o jew_n who_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o

the_o prophet_n have_v testify_v of_o christ_n 22_o moses_n true_o say_v unto_o the_o father_n the_o lord_n your_o god_n shall_v raise_v up_o a_o prophet_n unto_o you_o of_o your_o brethren_n he_o

by_o this_o argument_n he_o prove_v that_o he_o go_v not_o about_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o revolt_v from_o moses_n because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n to_o take_v heed_n to_o and_o obey_v this_o chief_a teacher_n here_o may_v a_o doubt_n arise_v why_o peter_n think_v it_o more_o convenient_a to_o cite_v this_o testimony_n of_o moses_n than_o other_o see_v there_o be_v many_o other_o
