of_o the_o gospel_n when_o he_o say_v too_o peter_n feed_v my_o sheep_n but_o why_o call_v he_o they_o sheep_n who_o the_o apostle_n bring_v untoo_o chryst_n i_o find_v special_o three_o cause_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v for_o that_o it_o behove_v they_o too_o be_v meek_a which_o profess_v chryste_n or_o will_v be_v name_v christian_n for_o it_o become_v not_o they_o that_o will_v be_v register_v intoo_o chryste_n household_n too_o be_v cruel_a like_o lion_n raven_a like_o wolf_n wily_a like_o fox_n lecherous_a like_o goat_n filthy_a like_o swine_n or_o too_o show_v themselves_o in_o affection_n like_o too_o other_o wild_a beast_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o like_a as_o sheep_n do_v know_v the_o voice_n of_o their_o own_o shepeherde_n and_o flee_v from_o a_o stranger_n so_o the_o godly_a acknowledge_v chryste_n only_o for_o their_o teacher_n and_o will_v here_o those_o only_a that_o utter_a his_o word_n and_o not_o any_o other_o how_o great_o renown_a so_o ever_o they_o be_v no_o though_o they_o be_v angel_n from_o heaven_n the_o third_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o like_a as_o sheep_n follow_v their_o own_o shepherd_n whither_o so_o ever_o he_o go_v so_o must_v the_o godly_a follow_v christ_n in_o life_n in_o persecution_n and_o in_o glory_n behold_v his_o life_n as_o a_o rule_n too_o lead_v their_o life_n by_o bear_v his_o cross_n through_o

if_o we_o suffer_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v also_o be_v glorify_v with_o he_o hereby_o therefore_o may_v the_o godly_a minister_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o word_n learn_v too_o feed_v christ_n flock_n and_o let_v the_o sheep_n be_v meek_a let_v they_o here_o the_o voice_n of_o their_o shepherd_n only_o and_o let_v they_o follow_v he_o in_o life_n in_o cross_n and_o in_o glory_n the_o third_o thing_n that_o christ_n do_v here_o be_v that_o he_o doothe_v peter_n too_o understand_v with_o what_o kind_n of_o death_n he_o shall_v glorify_v god_n when_o he_o say_v when_o thou_o be_v young_a thou_o do_v

thou_o will_v not_o it_o be_v mean_v by_o these_o word_n that_o peter_n for_o confess_v christ_n shall_v one_o day_n be_v crucify_v which_o thing_n irenaeus_n and_o diverse_a of_o the_o ancient_a

priest_n there_o be_v many_o and_o great_a cause_n the_o first_o be_v that_o he_o may_v try_v their_o faith_n whither_o they_o beléeve_v his_o word_n and_o his_o promise_n for_o god_n be_v wont_v by_o

he_o come_v not_o too_o break_v but_o too_o fulfil_v &_o perform_v the_o three_o be_v because_o the_o law_n &_o the_o préesthood_n bear_v witness_n of_o chryst_n according_a as_o he_o say_v himself_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n bear_v witness_n of_o i_o for_o whereas_o the_o priest_n be_v command_v too_o judge_v of_o leprosy_n and_o to_o take_v a_o offering_n for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o the_o

therefore_o do_v wrest_v this_o text_n too_o a_o strange_a sense_n &_o with_o their_o allegory_n do_v make_v grin_n wherewithal_o the_o wretched_a conscience_n be_v horrible_o snarl_v and_o so_o of_o

thereby_o i_o will_v propound_v three_o place_n which_o i_o will_v entreat_v of_o in_o this_o sermon_n 1_o what_o manner_n of_o affection_n chryste_n bear_v towards_o us._n 2_o the_o declaration_n of_o this_o present_a miracle_n with_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o same_o 3_o a_o image_n of_o all_o mankind_n ¶_o of_o the_o first_o the_o evangelist_n tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o certain_a
