of_o this_o that_o christ_n open_v himself_o not_o only_o by_o the_o star_n christ_n but_o also_o at_o jordan_n where_o he_o be_v baptize_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o revelation_n be_v the_o

when_o he_o be_v thirty_o year_n old_a the_o evangelist_n do_v show_v the_o history_n plain_o that_o he_o move_v from_o galilee_n and_o come_v to_o john_n unto_o jordan_n to_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o as_o other_o sinner_n be_v which_o know_v their_o sin_n and_o desire_a remission_n of_o they_o john_n be_v trouble_v with_o this_o strange_a case_n for_o he_o know_v christ_n from_o his_o childhode_n

may_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o all_o miserable_a sinner_n may_v come_v to_o righteousness_n and_o be_v save_v wherefore_o herein_o be_v now_o set_v forth_o a_o comfortable_a example_n unto_o we_o baptism_n whereas_o the_o son_n of_o god_n offer_v himself_o to_o be_v baptize_v which_o nevertheless_o sin_v not_o and_o do_v that_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v whereas_o we_o do_v

that_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v wherefore_o this_o aught_o especial_o to_o be_v mark_v in_o this_o place_n that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n matter_n which_o be_v holy_a than_o all_o baptism_n

this_o be_v it_o now_o evident_a that_o all_o man_n be_v damnable_a and_o accurse_a and_o stryken_v with_o madness_n and_o blindness_n of_o god_n for_o a_o punishment_n which_o can_v not_o entreat_v and_o obtain_v so_o much_o of_o their_o eye_n and_o ear_n as_o to_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v in_o this_o matter_n but_o contemn_v and_o dispraise_v baptism_n and_o speak_v villainous_o thereof_o for_o why_o do_v thou_o and_o thy_o child_n refuse_v baptism_n see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n receive_v it_o what_o great_a madness_n or_o what_o great_a fury_n be_v this_o in_o the_o that_o thou_o shall_v deny_v such_o a_o great_a work_n do_v not_o baptism_n seem_v worthy_a of_o great_a renown_n for_o this_o cause_n if_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o nothing_o else_o that_o this_o so_o great_a a_o man_n use_v it_o where_o as_o this_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o come_v to_o baptism_n that_o thou_o shall_v come_v to_o baptism_n for_o the_o renown_n thereof_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o other_o commodity_n thereby_o baptism_n but_o this_o matter_n be_v not_o without_o our_o profit_n for_o what_o good_a it_o do_v unto_o we_o it_o appear_v in_o this_o where_o as_o god_n by_o this_o baptism_n show_v forth_o himself_o wholye_a for_o as_o the_o evangelist_n bear_v witness_v john_n see_v the_o heaven_n open_a which_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n be_v delight_v with_o baptism_n which_o christ_n himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n sanctifi_v with_o his_o body_n wherefore_o heaven_n be_v open_v which_o be_v shut_v up_o before_o and_o now_o above_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o gate_n and_o window_n of_o heaven_n make_v wide_o open_a so_o that_o from_o henceforth_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n between_o we_o and_o god_n because_o god_n be_v now_o fall_v down_o unto_o jordane_n what_o be_v a_o revelation_n then_o if_o this_o be_v none_o wherefore_o if_o the_o feast_n of_o epiphanie_n that_o be_v of_o revel_v and_o appear_v be_v requisite_a why_o be_v

therefore_o be_v most_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v that_o christ_n will_v declare_v his_o privilege_n himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v with_o like_a force_n as_o other_o chyldern_n be_v to_o

that_o you_o seek_v i_o know_v you_o not_o that_o it_o behove_v i_o to_o be_v about_o those_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o my_o father_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o your_o son_n but_o

wherefore_o christ_n put_v forth_o a_o example_n for_o reason_n man_n which_o when_o it_o ought_v to_o obey_v and_o serve_v god_n excuse_v itself_o by_o this_o pretence_n that_o god_n

they_o shall_v find_v no_o salvation_n for_o all_o that_o ever_o they_o can_v do_v wherefore_o this_o save_a health_n help_v they_o against_o this_o ignorance_n and_o darkness_n geve_v the_o gentile_n

for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o cumber_v with_o this_o evyll_n we_o will_v not_o be_v of_o such_o fearful_a and_o desperate_a heart_n which_o dare_v scarce_o in_o adversity_n and_o trouble_n to_o look_v unto_o god_n &_o to_o his_o word_n or_o put_v any_o trust_n therein_o and_o hereby_o be_v it_o now_o evident_a again_o that_o simeon_n bestow_v great_a study_n in_o read_v the_o prophet_n prophet_n

of_o salvation_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v he_o prepare_v and_o bring_v forth_o of_o god_n but_o the_o jew_n in_o this_o behalf_n be_v prefer_v before_o the_o gentile_n 3._o for_o that_o that_o
