from_o our_o father_n adam_n as_o it_o be_v by_o inheritance_n the_o manner_n therefore_o that_o we_o be_v of_o jesus_n christ_n flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n be_v that_o we_o be_v graff_v into_o his_o body_n according_o as_o saint_n paul_n also_o use_v the_o same_o similitude_n of_o graff_v 6._o like_a as_o a_o sine_fw-la that_o be_v set_v into_o a_o stock_n take_v his_o sustenance_n from_o the_o same_o so_o must_v we_o by_o be_v graff_v into_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n trew_n it_o be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n of_o ourselves_o for_o his_o purpose_n here_o be_v but_o too_o show_v that_o as_o a_o branch_n wither_v which_o be_v break_v of_o from_o the_o root_n and_o so_o let_v alone_o but_o receive_v sap_n and_o nourishment_n from_o the_o root_n if_o it_o be_v graff_v into_o another_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o continue_v such_o as_o we_o be_v by_o kind_n then_o be_v we_o in_o death_n because_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o we_o be_v incorporate_v into_o he_o and_o it_o please_v he_o too_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o then_o do_v we_o feel_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o bread_n do_v not_o more_o nourish_v we_o when_o we_o eat_v it_o nor_o wine_n strengthen_v we_o better_v when_o we_o drink_v it_o than_o we_o very_o receive_v life_n and_o strength_n by_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o then_o that_o this_o be_v a_o high_a mystery_n every_o man_n be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o himself_o when_o we_o have_v debate_v never_o so_o much_o and_o scan_v the_o matter_n in_o our_o heart_n be_v there_o any_o of_o we_o that_o can_v comprehend_v how_o we_o be_v knit_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o how_o we_o be_v make_v all_o one_o with_o he_o so_o as_o we_o can_v assure_v and_o warrant_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v by_o that_o mean_a be_v partaker_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o that_o even_o at_o this_o day_n we_o live_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a too_o this_o say_n of_o he_o 19_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n for_o as_o i_o live_v so_o shall_v you_o also_o can_v this_o say_v i_o enter_v into_o so_o small_a a_o room_n as_o our_o sensual_a reason_n be_v no_o sure_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o a_o number_n of_o man_n can_v admit_v this_o point_n that_o we_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n but_o content_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o imagination_n which_o be_v a_o abace_n of_o god_n grace_n which_o saint_n paul_n be_v not_o able_a too_o express_v but_o rather_o show_v we_o that_o it_o ought_v too_o ravish_v our_o wit_n too_o wonder_v at_o it_o many_o then_o may_v happen_v too_o have_v a_o rove_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o heathenish_a imagination_n that_o we_o be_v knit_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o his_o grace_n but_o the_o scripture_n go_v further_a and_o though_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o say_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n yet_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o limit_v it_o after_o our_o own_o fancy_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v make_v saint_n paul_n a_o liar_n all_o such_o as_o despise_v this_o spiritual_a conjunction_n which_o we_o have_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o secret_a nor_o wonderful_a power_n of_o god_n nor_o aught_o else_o as_o we_o hear_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v such_o speech_n too_o humble_v we_o and_o afterward_o ●oo_o exalt_v we_o again_o therefore_o we_o must_v on_o the_o one_o side_n confess_v that_o all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o wit_n which_o we_o have_v do_v fail_v we_o in_o that_o behalf_n and_o afterward_o rise_v up_o again_o for_o that_o we_o hear_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o too_o he_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o knit_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o which_o he_o make_v not_o common_a too_o we_o and_o whereof_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o be_v partaker_n therefore_o if_o we_o have_v any_o contrary_a motion_n in_o ourselves_o and_o it_o come_v into_o our_o head_n too_o say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v in_o heaven_n shall_v nourish_v we_o with_o his_o own_o substance_n so_o as_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v our_o meat_n and_o his_o blood_n our_o drink_n i_o say_v if_o we_o fall_v into_o such_o fancy_n we_o must_v repulse_v they_o all_o with_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a secret_n and_o we_o must_v rebuke_v our_o own_o folly_n and_o rashness_n in_o intend_v too_o measure_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v infinite_a our_o lord_n show_v we_o that_o when_o he_o have_v knit_v we_o too_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v do_v so_o high_a and_o profound_a a_o work_n as_o surmount_v all_o our_o capacity_n see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o always_o conclude_v that_o although_o we_o find_v it_o a_o strange_a matter_n yet_o must_v we_o rest_v upon_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o god_n himself_o special_o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v work_v after_o so_o high_a a_o fashion_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o ravish_v at_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v general_o upon_o this_o text_n that_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thereby_o too_o attain_v too_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v and_o do_v proceed_v of_o the_o fayed_a fountain_n of_o god_n incomprehensible_a wisdom_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o be_v so_o foolish_a and_o presumptuous_a as_o too_o say_v i_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o again_o i_o will_v see_v what_o please_v i_o let_v we_o restrain_v ourselves_o from_o such_o presumption_n for_o it_o will_v make_v we_o unworthy_a of_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v a_o say_n that_o import_v a_o great_a secret_a the_o end_n say_v i_o whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v if_o we_o mind_n too_o fare_v the_o better_a by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o too_o be_v partaker_n of_o all_o his_o grace_n be_v too_o understand_v that_o god_n work_v in_o our_o salvation_n be_v a_o great_a mystery_n or_o secret_a according_a too_o the_o text_n that_o i_o allege_v heretofore_o out_o of_o the_o epistle_n too_o timothy_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n say_v saint_n paul_n that_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n 16._o for_o what_o a_o great_a distance_n be_v there_o between_o god_n and_o man_n we_o be_v but_o worm_n and_o rottenness_n and_o god_n majesty_n be_v so_o high_a as_o no_o man_n can_v say_v what_o it_o be_v nor_o conceive_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o it_o in_o thought_n but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o be_v ravish_v too_o wonder_n at_o it_o see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v so_o link_v himself_o unto_o we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a emanuel_n as_o he_o be_v name_v in_o isaiah_n 14._o and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o far_o asunder_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mystery_n and_o secret_n in_o all_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o receive_v of_o our_o god_n and_o special_o in_o our_o incorporate_n or_o graft_n into_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o flesh_n will_v have_v we_o too_o be_v graff_v into_o he_o as_o into_o our_o root_n too_o be_v quicken_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o too_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o life_n so_o as_o he_o have_v nothing_o peculiar_a too_o himself_o alone_o but_o will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v common_a unto_o we_o will_v we_o then_o receive_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bring_v we_o and_o will_v we_o by_o his_o mean_n overcome_v all_o the_o temptation_n that_o can_v cross_v we_o we_o must_v taste_v thorough_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o and_o set_v afore_o we_o and_o give_v such_o reverend_a credit_n unto_o they_o by_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n work_v in_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o same_o may_v content_v we_o and_o make_v we_o too_o forsake_v all_o our_o own_o natural_a understanding_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o too_o vouchsafe_v too_o pardon_v we_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o we_o may_v
spiritual_a life_n of_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o god_n son_n see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n do_v as_o it_o be_v from_o hand_n too_o hand_n show_v we_o that_o he_o give_v we_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n too_o be_v our_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o drink_n be_v it_o not_o a_o thing_n much_o more_o worth_a than_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v find_v in_o this_o world_n and_o herein_o we_o see_v how_o malicious_a and_o froward_a most_o man_n be_v for_o as_o touch_v the_o lord_n supper_n many_o come_v to_o it_o which_o rush_v thither_o like_o wretched_a beast_n not_o know_v why_o it_o be_v ordain_v some_o again_o make_v but_o a_o custom_n &_o ordinary_a use_n of_o it_o &_o although_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v to_o what_o purpose_n it_o avail_v we_o yet_o they_o do_v but_o wring_v their_o mouth_n at_o it_o &_o all_o be_v one_o to_o they_o when_o it_o be_v once_o past_a with_o they_o and_o othersome_a defile_v it_o even_o wilful_o and_o as_o touch_v baptism_n we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n go_v with_o it_o for_o whereas_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v daily_o &_o not_o only_o once_o adays_o but_o every_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n both_o upon_o babtim_o &_o also_o upon_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o confirm_v ourselves_o the_o better_a in_o god_n grace_n so_o little_o do_v any_o man_n set_v his_o mind_n that_o way_n that_o if_o baptism_n be_v minnistre_v in_o the_o church_n man_n make_v none_o account_v of_o it_o scarce_o can_v one_o be_v find_v among_o a_o hundred_o that_o can_v fit_o tell_v and_o utter_v what_o that_o sign_n of_o our_o adoption_n betoken_v and_o yet_o you_o see_v what_o disdain_n be_v match_v with_o that_o ignorance_n must_v not_o god_n after_o his_o long_a suffering_n of_o we_o and_o his_o patient_a wait_v for_o we_o be_v revenge_v of_o such_o dishonour_n when_o his_o grace_n be_v so_o light_o esteem_v among_o we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v well_o what_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o here_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v deprive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o god_n give_v too_o his_o child_n for_o a_o warrant_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o love_n be_v in_o miserable_a take_n too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v too_o make_v much_o of_o the_o privilege_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o not_o too_o boast_v foolish_o of_o it_o as_o hypocrite_n do_v who_o abuse_v god_n name_n continual_o but_o too_o make_v we_o too_o fare_v the_o better_a by_o a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a price_n and_o value_n and_o too_o make_v we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v no_o whit_n better_o than_o they_o which_o be_v as_o poor_a hungrestarued_a soul_n against_o who_o god_n shut_v the_o gate_n still_o and_o too_o who_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o tooo_o impart_v those_o pledge_n of_o he_o wherein_o he_o show_v and_o witness_v that_o he_o will_v be_v our_o father_n you_o see_v the_o turk_n have_v circumcision_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o worth_a because_o there_o be_v no_o more_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n go_v with_o it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o come_v of_o adam_n race_n as_o well_o as_o they_o wherefore_o have_v we_o baptism_n but_o because_o god_n intend_v too_o show_v himself_o the_o more_o pitiful_a towards_o we_o and_o too_o utter_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o goodness_n again_o the_o papist_n will_v needs_o be_v call_v christian_n and_o have_v baptism_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o be_v bereave_v of_o the_o holy_a supper_n yea_o and_o they_o have_v the_o abominable_a mass_n wherein_o they_o renounce_v the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o what_o cause_n be_v there_o why_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o prefer_v before_o they_o save_v that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o too_o be_v as_o mirror_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o walk_v in_o awe_n and_o wareness_n and_o too_o set_v store_n by_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n show_v we_o too_o be_v of_o such_o worthiness_n and_o excellency_n that_o we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o they_o wherefore_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o special_a point_n when_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o circumcision_n and_o uncircumcision_n 15._o for_o although_o he_o say_v in_o other_o place_n that_o circumcision_n be_v nothing_o howbeit_o that_o be_v but_o because_o it_o be_v abolish_v and_o the_o use_n thereof_o cease_v as_o of_o all_o other_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o notwithstanding_o at_o such_o time_n 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 filthiness_n that_o be_v in_o adam_n race_n and_o appropry_v they_o unto_o himself_o after_o he_o have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o they_o be_v without_o christ_n and_o without_o promise_n here_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 importance_n if_o circumcision_n have_v be_v give_v too_o the_o jew_n without_o any_o doctrine_n or_o instruction_n too_o what_o purpose_n have_v it_o serve_v sure_o they_o have_v be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o but_o when_o as_o god_n say_v i_o be_o the_o god_n which_o sanctify_v you_o you_o shall_v be_v my_o child_n i_o will_v receive_v you_o and_o therewith_o all_o take_v you_o for_o my_o heritage_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n also_o i_o give_v myself_o too_o you_o and_o will_v be_v your_o life_n forasmuch_o as_o circumcision_n have_v such_o promise_n it_o be_v as_o a_o inestimable_a treasure_n too_o the_o jew_n because_o the_o foundation_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v lay_v sure_a whereon_o the_o promise_n be_v settle_v and_o as_o you_o will_v say_v confirm_v that_o then_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n join_v here_o the_o common_a weal_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n promise_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n all_o together_o howbeit_o in_o speak_v of_o the_o common_a weal_n of_o israel_n he_o show_v that_o god_n have_v choose_v one_o certain_a lineage_n which_o he_o will_v have_v too_o be_v holy_a and_o so_o be_v it_o too_o be_v conclude_v that_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v unholy_a in_o speak_v of_o the_o instrument_n of_o the_o promise_n he_o show_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o we_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o circumcision_n in_o itself_o but_o we_o must_v direct_v it_o too_o the_o right_a end_n of_o it_o it_o become_v we_o too_o know_v wherefore_o god_n will_v have_v it_o use_v among_o the_o jew_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v but_o a_o ape_n toy_n as_o the_o number_n of_o fond_a devotion_n which_o the_o gentile_n have_v whereby_o they_o hope_v too_o have_v have_v holiness_n but_o all_o of_o it_o be_v but_o abuse_v and_o trumpery_n because_o they_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o god_n likewise_o they_o say_v now_o adays_o in_o the_o papacy_n that_o they_o have_v many_o sacrament_n and_o therewithal_o as_o many_o murlimewes_n and_o gewgaw_n as_o can_v be_v but_o all_o that_o god_n disallow_v be_v but_o pelt_a trash_n and_o why_o for_o there_o be_v no_o word_n that_o sanctify_v they_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o too_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o the_o sacrament_n we_o must_v always_o be_v teach_v they_o by_o god_n doctrine_n and_o thereby_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o many_o be_v cut_v of_o from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n who_o notwithstanding_o be_v now_o adays_o think_v to_o be_v high_a in_o it_o for_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n where_o be_v the_o instruction_n which_o they_o shall_v have_v too_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o benefit_n that_o god_n offer_v they_o they_o will_v allege_v their_o baptism_n and_o they_o will_v say_v they_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n if_o a_o man_n ask_v they_o too_o what_o end_n they_o understand_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o that_o be_v as_o a_o utter_a abolish_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sacrament_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 come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n namely_o too_o learn_v of_o the_o gospel_n too_o what_o end_n baptism_n be_v ordain_v what_o fruit_n it_o yield_v we_o and_o which_o be_v the_o right_a and_o lawful_a use_n of_o it_o and_o also_o too_o consider_v whereunto_o the_o holy_a supper_n avail_v we_o for_o if_o

the_o like_a must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n jesus_n christ_n must_v rule_v and_o all_o man_n must_v quiet_o obey_v he_o and_o so_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n first_o that_o our_o salvation_n do_v so_o depend_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o angel_n nor_o man_n how_o holy_a soever_o they_o be_v which_o have_v not_o need_v too_o receive_v at_o his_o

instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

according_a too_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o from_o out_o of_o the_o psalm_n it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v above_o too_o obtain_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o our_o

continual_o withal_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o as_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v such_o force_n as_o be_v terrible_a out_o of_o measure_n what_o may_v he_o do_v be_v it_o not_o that_o jesus_n

as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o foot_n upon_o their_o throat_n you_o see_v then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v he_o with_o full_a warrant_n that_o we_o shall_v ever_o
