heavenly_a life_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o and_o that_o although_o we_o do_v but_o glide_v away_o here_o below_o 16._o and_o be_v as_o stranger_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o everlasting_a heritage_n which_o can_v fail_v us._n according_a as_o the_o outward_a man_n decay_v say_v s._n paul_n so_o the_o inward_a man_n renu_v for_o the_o more_o that_o the_o faithful_a see_v themselves_o decay_v the_o more_o be_v they_o warn_v and_o provoke_v to_o look_v upward_o for_o we_o know_v that_o such_o as_o be_v strong_a and_o lusty_a do_v besot_v and_o forget_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n be_v fain_o to_o tame_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v renew_v by_o decay_a i_o say_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v new_a cast_v in_o a_o mould_n again_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n may_v be_v establish_v in_o we_o and_o we_o have_v our_o sight_n clear_v to_o behold_v the_o thing_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v wrap_v up_o from_o us._n mark_v how_o gold_n and_o silver_n do_v great_o waste_v when_o man_n make_v they_o to_o pass_v the_o furnace_n when_o it_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mass_n of_o metal_n but_o when_o it_o be_v take_v out_o again_o there_o be_v but_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o the_o gold_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o fine_v will_v never_o serve_v to_o any_o purpose_n no_o more_o will_v silver_n neither_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o we_o can_v never_o be_v renew_a to_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n except_o we_o die_v first_o we_o must_v ever_o go_v forward_o to_o that_o utter_a defacement_n and_o not_o rest_n by_o the_o way_n upon_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n for_o this_o earthly_a life_n be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o a_o smoke_n that_o slide_v and_o vanish_v away_o &_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v renew_a thereby_o within_o not_o that_o all_o man_n have_v that_o benefit_n for_o the_o faithless_a do_v well_o enough_o find_v their_o own_o weakness_n and_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v the_o summoning_n of_o death_n special_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v old_a for_o than_o they_o perceive_v that_o any_o little_a blast_n be_v enough_o to_o cast_v they_o down_o and_o thereupon_o they_o fall_v to_o storm_v and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o fall_v out_o with_o god_n &_o nature_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v though_o they_o rot_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o renew_v 24._o for_o one_o grain_n of_o corn_n may_v well_o rot_v and_o yet_o not_o take_v root_n to_o spring_v again_o and_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o another_o grain_n shall_v rot_v likewise_o howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v in_o good_a earth_n &_o have_v take_v root_n it_o will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o seasonable_a time_n so_o they_o the_o faithful_a come_v to_o decay_v and_o the_o rewithal_o be_v renew_a and_o gather_v new_a force_n and_o why_o for_o they_o rot_v in_o this_o world_n to_o the_o end_n to_o be_v restore_v and_o renew_a again_o in_o the_o heavenly_a heritage_n the_o faithless_a also_o do_v go_v away_o to_o they_o rot_v likewise_o they_o slip_v aside_o &_o they_o vanish_v quite_o away_o but_o they_o have_v no_o vantage_n by_o it_o because_o they_o be_v not_o restore_v to_o eternal_a life_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v we_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v to_o waken_v we_o so_o as_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n may_v keep_v we_o from_o rest_v continual_o upon_o god_n promise_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v about_o we_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n but_o what_o for_o that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o word_n that_o be_v dead_a in_o our_o own_o nature_n we_o have_v our_o life_n elsewhere_o namely_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_fw-la asmuch_o as_o he_o be_v purposely_o send_v to_o bring_v we_o from_o death_n to_o life_n see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v that_o promise_n of_o god_n you_o see_v how_o he_o may_v be_v honour_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o that_o only_o say_v aught_o to_o suffice_v us._n and_o if_o we_o settle_v and_o resolve_v ourselves_o full_o thereupon_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o set_v our_o hand_n to_o god_n truth_n as_o faithful_a witness_n thereof_o 33_o as_o say_v saint_n john_n contrariwise_o when_o we_o doubt_v or_o be_v in_o a_o mamere_n then_o have_v god_n word_n no_o authority_n nor_o reverence_n among_o us._n for_o if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o than_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v before_o we_o and_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n we_o can_v acknowldge_n that_o god_n be_v faithful_a and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v utter_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n be_v unfallible_a moreover_o in_o so_o do_v we_o turn_v away_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o pledge_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o god_n word_n see_v we_o have_v the_o word_n we_o must_v no_o more_o ask_v as_o moses_n say_v who_o shall_v climb_v up_o above_o the_o cloud_n 12_o or_o who_o shall_v go_v down_o into_o the_o deep_a or_o who_o shall_v go_v over_o the_o sea_n 6._o the_o word_n say_v he_o be_v in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thy_o hart_n and_o we_o must_v content_v ourselves_o with_o it_o and_o moreover_o see_v that_o we_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o large_a confirmation_n we_o know_v that_o he_o go_v down_o into_o the_o hell_n that_o be_v to_o say_v bear_v the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a to_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o answer_v as_o our_o pledge_n and_o surety_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o his_o father_n and_o afterward_o go_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o in_o our_o behalf_n take_v possession_n of_o the_o heritage_n that_o he_o have_v purchace_v for_o us._n for_o he_o be_v exalt_v up_o in_o our_o flesh_n and_o nature_n see_v that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o assurance_n must_v we_o not_o needs_o be_v tootoo_o wretched_a if_o we_o can_v hold_v ourselves_o too_o it_o 18._o again_o the_o matter_n will_v we_o to_o look_v still_o back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v namely_o that_o we_o hope_v not_o for_o thing_n that_o be_v open_a and_o manifest_a but_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v unknowen_a to_o worldly_a perceiverance_n then_o since_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v although_o we_o be_v miserable_a in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v fain_o to_o endure_v never_o so_o many_o hartbiting_n grief_n anguish_n trouble_n and_o distress_n yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o continue_v in_o this_o constancy_n of_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o singular_a happiness_n in_o all_o our_o misery_n because_o god_n bliss_v and_o hallow_v they_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o all_o be_v turn_v to_o our_o help_n and_o welfare_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o eight_o to_o the_o rom._n 27._o therefore_o as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o another_o text_n 9_o god_n must_v utter_v the_o perfectness_n of_o his_o strength_n in_o our_o weakness_n and_o we_o suffer_v he_o to_o make_v we_o to_o stoop_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o this_o world_n may_v not_o keep_v we_o back_o from_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n thorough_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n nor_o hinder_v we_o to_o be_v glad_a and_o cheerful_a in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o affliction_n nor_o bold_o too_o dispyze_v all_o the_o slaundering_n and_o mockage_n of_o the_o faithless_a when_o they_o offer_v we_o reproach_n saying_n god_n you_o silly_a wretch_n think_v yourselves_o to_o be_v prince_n when_o you_o believe_v the_o gospel_n but_o alack_o poor_a soul_n where_o be_v the_o joy_n and_o happiness_n which_o you_o say_v be_v promise_v you_o of_o god_n where_o be_v the_o inestimable_a benefit_n which_o you_o make_v so_o great_a account_n of_o for_o you_o have_v no_o more_o than_o those_o who_o you_o call_v god_n enemy_n reprobate_n and_o curse_a kaytif_n but_o as_o i_o say_v all_o this_o gear_n must_v not_o thrust_v we_o out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o we_o must_v come_v back_o untoo_o faith_n although_o then_o that_o here_o beneath_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o of_o they_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n for_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n our_o life_n be_v hide_v 3._o and_o the_o time_n of_o the_o discovery_n thereof_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v and_o where_o be_v our_o life_n but_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o
abash_v at_o his_o sin_n not_o for_o three_o or_o four_o month_n but_o so_o as_o he_o shall_v abhor_v they_o all_o his_o life_n long_o forsomuch_o as_o he_o see_v that_o hell_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o swallow_v he_o up_o at_o one_o chop_n if_o god_n supply_v not_o his_o want_n and_o draw_v he_o not_o as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o same_o shall_v serve_v as_o a_o lesson_n not_o for_o a_o three_o or_o four_o month_n only_o nor_o for_o those_o only_o which_o be_v not_o of_o so_o perfect_a life_n as_o other_o man_n but_o as_o a_o lesson_n that_o god_n speak_v even_o to_o such_o as_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a and_o sure_o that_o also_o be_v the_o thing_n whereunto_o we_o must_v refer_v the_o word_n live_v so_o as_o we_o may_v live_v not_o for_o a_o little_a while_n nor_o for_o a_o day_n nor_o for_o two_o or_o three_o month_n but_o continual_o in_o god_n free_a goodness_n &_o seek_v the_o same_o from_o day_n too_o day_n 3_o even_o to_o the_o end_n and_o although_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o this_o world_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v and_o we_o see_v nothing_o but_o death_n before_o we_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o repose_v ourselves_o upon_o this_o promise_n that_o our_o life_n be_v sure_a for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v take_v it_o intoo_o his_o custody_n and_o will_v keep_v it_o safe_o and_o thereunto_o have_v leave_v we_o so_o good_a a_o pledge_n of_o it_o 6._o that_o be_v too_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o die_v and_o be_v rise_v again_o for_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v too_o say_v any_o more_o who_o shall_v go_v up_o into_o heaven_n or_o who_o shall_v go_v down_o intoo_o the_o deep_a or_o who_o shall_v pass_v over_o the_o sea_n for_o the_o word_n be_v in_o our_o mouth_n and_o in_o our_o hart_n in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n go_v down_o too_o hell_n that_o be_v too_o say_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o next_o sermon_n by_o god_n leave_n that_o he_o become_v accurse_v for_o we_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o must_v content_v we_o and_o afterward_o go_v up_o intoo_o heaven_n whereof_o the_o gate_n be_v open_v unto_o we_o ever_o since_o he_o enter_v in_o thither_o in_o our_o behalf_n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v all_o our_o hold_n there_o and_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v as_o poor_a dead_a man_n in_o this_o world_n wait_v for_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o life_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o for_o no_o doubt_n but_o god_n will_v in_o due_a time_n discover_v it_o and_o manifest_o show_v it_o untoo_o we_o in_o such_o wyze_n as_o we_o shall_v full_o enjoy_v it_o as_o it_o be_v preach_v too_o we_o by_o his_o gospel_n and_o 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 fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v they_o more_o and_o more_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v so_o touch_v with_o they_o as_o it_o may_v beat_v we_o flat_o down_o before_o he_o &_o make_v we_o sigh_v and_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o our_o infirmity_n and_o vice_n wherewith_o we_o be_v hem_v in_o till_o he_o have_v clenze_v we_o thorough_o of_o they_o and_o pray_v he_o also_o too_o bear_v with_o we_o during_o this_o mortal_a life_n till_o he_o have_v full_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o the_o bond_n of_o satan_n wherein_o we_o be_v hold_v as_o now_o till_o he_o have_v set_v we_o utter_o free_a from_o they_o that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o too_o grant_v this_o grace_n not_o only_o to_o we_o but_o also_o to_o all_o people_n etc._n etc._n the._n 19_o sermon_n which_o be_v the_o five_o upon_o the_o three_o chapter_n 13_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o he_o be_v make_v accurse_v for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o hang_v on_o tree_n 14_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o blissednesse_n of_o abraham_n shall_v come_v upon_o the_o gentile_n through_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o faith_n we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o if_o we_o hope_v not_o to_o be_v save_v by_o some_o other_o mean_n than_o by_o discharge_v our_o duty_n we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v accurse_v because_o we_o be_v all_o guilty_a before_o god_n in_o that_o we_o be_v find_v too_o have_v transgress_v and_o do_v amiss_o many_o way_n for_o there_o be_v never_o yet_o any_o of_o the_o holy_a man_n so_o perfect_a but_o that_o there_o be_v always_o some_o blemish_n yea_o and_o store_n of_o infirmity_n in_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v call_v we_o too_o account_n we_o shall_v be_v all_o damn_a and_o forlorn_a lo_o in_o what_o plight_n man_n be_v though_o they_o set_v never_o so_o much_o store_n by_o themselves_o but_o now_o

his_o will_n shall_v serve_v but_o to_o plunge_v we_o still_o deep_a in_o eternal_a death_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o god_n word_n may_v be_v profitable_a too_o we_o and_o avaylable_a to_o our_o salvation_n it_o lie_v we_o upon_o to_o get_v we_o out_o of_o the_o say_a sentence_n of_o damnation_n which_o be_v give_v and_o proclaim_v upon_o all_o mankind_n and_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o here_o the_o mean_a namely_o that_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o even_o by_o become_v accurse_v for_o us._n he_o show_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o hang_v upon_o tree_n in_o

and_o therefore_o be_v our_o lord_n fain_o too_o receyve_v in_o his_o person_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v due_a untoo_o us._n now_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n curse_a shall_v he_o be_v hang_v on_o tree_n 23._o when_o our_o lord_n command_v the_o body_n too_o be_v take_v down_o he_o add_v that_o it_o be_v a_o curse_a sight_n too_o behold_v a_o man_n so_o disfigure_v be_v

be_v accurse_v and_o banned_a he_o know_v well_o enough_o what_o he_o have_v determine_v of_o his_o own_o only_a son_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n suffer_v not_o that_o kind_n of_o death_n by_o chance_n nor_o at_o man_n pleasure_n or_o appointment_n 28._o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o unbeliever_n crucify_v he_o but_o that_o be_v because_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v it_o by_o his_o own_o purpose_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v 16_o that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n but_o deliver_v he_o too_o death_n for_o us._n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n if_o only_a judassis_n betray_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n and_o that_o he_o have_v be_v hale_v to_o that_o kind_n of_o death_n by_o only_a violence_n it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o welfare_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o note_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o matter_n after_o that_o sort_n aforehand_o 23._o according_a also_o as_o saint_n peter_n treat_v thereof_o more_o full_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n where_o he_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v so_o crucify_v by_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o attempt_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o have_v be_v determine_v aforehand_o in_o god_n purpose_n now_o then_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v crucify_v we_o must_v come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o all_o be_v do_v for_o our_o salvation_n because_o it_o be_v god_n will_v too_o reconcyle_v we_o too_o himself_o by_o that_o mean_a and_o that_o when_o he_o pronounce_v this_o sentence_n curse_a be_v he_o that_o hang_v on_o tree_n so_o as_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o have_v it_o register_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n he_o be_v not_o ignorant_a what_o shall_v happen_v afterward_o for_o he_o have_v already_o determine_v and_o ordain_v it_o then_o must_v we_o match_v these_o two_o thing_n toogither_o that_o be_v

for_o he_o see_v much_o clear_a than_o we_o do_v 20._o as_o say_v saint_n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n thus_o then_o be_v our_o plead_n utter_o void_a thus_o be_v sentence_n give_v that_o

that_o many_o man_n hold_v not_o themselves_o within_o the_o say_a measure_n but_o make_v more_o unruly_a request_n unto_o god_n than_o one_o man_n will_v do_v to_o another_o so_o as_o one_o man_n crave_v riches_n another_o honour_n and_o none_o be_v content_v with_o that_o which_o god_n send_v yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o man_n be_v well_o advize_v in_o their_o wish_n &_o precise_a in_o

we_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o s._n paul_n have_v here_o set_v down_o two_o thing_n joint_o together_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n must_v first_o receyve_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n so_o as_o we_o also_o may_v feel_v he_o to_o be_v true_o our_o father_n and_o to_o accept_v we_o as_o his_o child_n and_o he_o theruppon_o afterward_o make_v we_o too_o prosper_v now_o such_o manner_n of_o prosperity_n may_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o be_v well_o wish_v for_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n must_v be_v our_o solace_n and_o when_o we_o be_v put_v too_o the_o suffering_n of_o many_o misery_n in_o this_o world_n so_o as_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o yet_o must_v we_o be_v content_v with_o this_o that_o god_n accept_v us._n and_o therewithal_o he_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v favour_v we_o but_o for_o his_o own_o son_n sake_n in_o who_o be_v his_o whole_a delight_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v 6._o as_o well_o in_o the._n xuj_o chapter_n of_o s._n matthew_n as_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o ephesian_n then_o if_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n but_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n it_o will_v make_v we_o afraid_a and_o we_o can_v not_o have_v any_o access_n unto_o he_o because_o we_o be_v frail_a creature_n yea_o and_o altogether_o sinful_a creep_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o deserve_v too_o be_v swallow_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o christ_n shall_v show_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o he_o to_o taste_v what_o god_n love_v be_v and_o to_o enjoy_v all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o for_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o any_o other_o than_o to_o his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o he_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 2_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o good_a turn_n which_o god_n do_v we_o belong_v peculiar_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o communicate_v with_o he_o and_o to_o be_v make_v parttaker_n of_o they_o by_o his_o mean_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o choose_v that_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o nothing_o put_v we_o out_o of_o god_n favour_n but_o our_o own_o sinfulness_n for_o we_o see_v that_o his_o mercy_n extend_v itself_o even_o to_o the_o sparowe_n that_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n and_o unto_o the_o brute_n beast_n for_o when_o as_o god_n bring_v forth_o grass_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o make_v other_o fodder_n too_o grow_v for_o cattle_n 8._o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o and_o true_o they_o be_v mark_n of_o his_o goodness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n how_o then_o shall_v he_o not_o love_v those_o who_o he_o have_v create_v after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o which_o approach_n much_o near_o too_o he_o &_o to_o his_o nature_n that_o be_v to_o say_v man_n god_n therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o

too_o take_v we_o for_o his_o enemy_n so_o as_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o deadly_a foade_n between_o he_o and_o we_o till_o he_o have_v take_v we_o again_o into_o his_o favour_n for_o our_o

whereby_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o transgression_n be_v blot_v out_o so_o that_o god_n have_v now_o forget_v all_o our_o wretchedness_n behold_v we_o as_o his_o own_o and_o as_o those_o on_o who_o he_o have_v set_v his_o mark_n &_o to_o be_v short_a as_o those_o who_o he_o have_v create_v too_o be_v his_o child_n and_o heir_n and_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o pacify_v our_o conscience_n and_o to_o make_v we_o able_a to_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o full_a liberty_n but_o by_o apply_v too_o ourselves_o the_o sacrifice_n offer_v by_o our_o

the_o force_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n how_o that_o therein_o we_o find_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v erst_o

by_o fasten_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v offer_v for_o if_o we_o have_v not_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v

yet_o therewithal_o every_o man_n seek_v to_o compound_v with_o god_n &_o to_o make_v amends_n by_o himself_o now_o the_o galathians_n have_v already_o be_v imbure_v with_o the_o like_a error_n for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n show_v the_o that_o sin_n be_v none_o otherwize_v wipe_v out_o than_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o thintent_v that_o our_o faith_n may_v

our_o iniquity_n but_o the_o blood_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v shed_v &_o wherewith_o we_o be_v rince_v through_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v never_o

the_o scan_n of_o our_o salvation_n now_o remain_v that_o god_n be_v glorify_v in_o we_o as_o good_a reason_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o

then_o thereupon_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v 2._o that_o there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n worthy_a too_o come_v unto_o god_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v all_o of_o we_o shut_v out_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o way_n open_v for_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n again_o we_o have_v also_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o can_v have_v none_o atonement_n with_o god_n nor_o boldness_n and_o liberty_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o except_o blood_n go_v with_o it_o that_o be_v too_o say_v except_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n go_v with_o we_o to_o get_v we_o grace_n and_o favour_n and_o all_o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v offer_v up_o by_o that_o mean_a or_o else_o they_o shall_v be_v refuse_v at_o god_n hade_a moreover_o it_o be_v say_v â–ª_o that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n be_v sprinkle_v with_o blood_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sanctuary_n â–ª_o we_o see_v then_o that_o all_o

of_o god_n promise_n nor_o be_v able_a to_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o welfare_n unless_o they_o have_v seal_n continual_o at_o they_o beside_o this_o when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v

which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v for_o one_o point_n be_v that_o we_o must_v understand_v how_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v of_o matter_n of_o small_a importance_n but_o in_o know_v wherein_o the_o

also_o that_o saint_n paul_n spare_v not_o peter_n though_o he_o be_v his_o fellow_n and_o be_v in_o as_o worthy_a and_o excellent_a a_o office_n as_o he_o be_v and_o seem_v that_o of_o duty_n he_o

&_o light_a thing_n s._n paul_n will_v not_o have_v move_v such_o debate_n and_o strife_n for_o it_o needs_o therefore_o must_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a importance_n but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o be_v warn_v that_o whensoever_o god_n truth_n be_v deface_v or_o that_o any_o man_n turn_v away_o from_o the_o pure_a simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a spare_v he_o but_o although_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v set_v itself_o against_o we_o yet_o must_v we_o maintain_v the_o case_n with_o invincible_a constancy_n without_o bend_v for_o any_o creature_n for_o if_o any_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v bear_v with_o the_o same_o be_v peter_n and_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v bestow_v such_o gift_n of_o grace_n upon_o he_o as_o to_o give_v he_o that_o name_n saint_n paul_n shall_v have_v yield_v somewhat_o unto_o he_o yea_o but_o that_o matter_n be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o then_o you_o see_v here_o a_o example_n which_o show_v we_o that_o when_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n tend_v to_o the_o deface_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v fall_v too_o stryve_v and_o not_o regard_v any_o creature_n and_o this_o be_v great_o for_o our_o profit_n nowadays_o for_o there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v fain_o row_v between_o two_o stream_n and_o although_o they_o perceyve_v the_o abuse_n and_o corruption_n yet_o will_v they_o bear_v on_o both_o side_n and_o all_o to_o purchase_v peace_n as_o they_o themselves_o say_v whereas_o in_o the_o end_n there_o must_v needs_o follow_v great_a confuzion_n when_o man_n do_v so_o heave_v one_o at_o another_o therefore_o too_o appease_v all_o discord_n they_o will_v fain_o
eschew_v the_o ●lightes_n and_o allurement_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o pass_v too_o pleasure_n creature_n overmuch_o but_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v

than_o we_o be_v nevertheless_o he_o be_v cast_v down_o afterward_o too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o do_v may_v serve_v for_o our_o learning_n and_o we_o be_v rid_v of_o all_o pride_n so_o as_o we_o may_v not_o thrust_v forth_o our_o own_o opinion_n to_o be_v overwyze_n in_o our_o own_o brain_n and_o fancy_n but_o that_o all_o our_o wisdom_n may_v be_v too_o rule_n ourselves_o according_a to_o

that_o be_v too_o say_v damnable_a man_n defile_v and_o miserable_a wretch_n of_o the_o gentyle_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o acceptable_a to_o god_n than_o by_o come_v too_o he_o with_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v renounce_v the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n accept_v of_o we_o must_v be_v of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n for_o his_o son_n

afore_o s._n paul_n enter_v into_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o his_o disputation_n against_o such_o as_o mingle_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o gospel_n howbeit_o s._n peter_n be_v none_o of_o that_o number_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a too_o come_v untoo_o god_n than_o by_o his_o mercy_n as_o it_o be_v show_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n saint_n paul_n have_v commune_v sufficient_o with_o he_o afore_o of_o that_o matter_n as_o we_o have_v see_v he_o agree_v full_o with_o s._n paul_n as_o

jesus_n christ_n therefore_o s._n peter_n will_v have_v abhor_v that_o but_o the_o dissimulation_n that_o i_o treat_v of_o this_o morning_n be_v a_o occasion_n to_o harden_v the_o jew_n in_o the_o fond_a dotage_n which_o they_o have_v conceyve_v of_o their_o own_o meritorious_a work_v not_o that_o he_o intend_v it_o neither_o be_v it_o a_o sufficient_a excuse_n for_o we_o though_o we_o

both_o before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n saint_n peter_n then_o agree_v very_o well_o with_o saint_n paul_n as_o concern_v doctrine_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a too_o come_v before_o god_n too_o obtain_v grace_n than_o by_o renounce_v all_o creature_n and_o by_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o cursednesse_n in_o we_o and_o that_o god_n must_v receyve_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n s._n peter_n know_v this_o and_o teach_v it_o without_o any_o gain_n say_v and_o moreover_o he_o wist_v well_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o give_v over_o the_o use_n of_o ceremony_n for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v grant_v too_o any_o such_o liberty_n unless_o he_o have_v know_v that_o the_o same_o have_v be_v purchace_v for_o we_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o he_o swerve_v a_o little_a too_o much_o too_o the_o intent_n too_o keep_v still_o his_o own_o countryman_n because_o he_o know_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v somewhat_o too_o wilful_a &_o wayward_a and_o therefore_o he_o mean_v no_o more_o but_o to_o bear_v with_o their_o nature_n but_o s._n paul_n respect_v not_o the_o person_n of_o his_o fellow_n s._n peter_n neither_o reason_v he_o with_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o be_v a_o abuzer_n of_o man_n thou_o know_v not_o what_o the_o

notwithstanding_o thou_o intend_v too_o feed_v they_o in_o that_o fondness_n and_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o s._n paul_n pass_v not_o what_o peter_n

in_o a_o day_n or_o twain_o no_o nor_o in_o four_o we_o must_v take_v the_o thing_n in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v why_o s._n paul_n strive_v so_o sharp_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o ceremony_n for_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n that_o we_o must_v learn_v in_o god_n school_n next_o after_o the_o glorify_v of_o he_o for_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o comparison_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n do_v always_o go_v in_o order_n and_o degree_n before_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v thing_n inseparable_a for_o god_n show_v his_o infinite_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o in_o this_o that_o never_o any_o thing_n serve_v too_o his_o

favour_n towards_o we_o we_o on_o our_o side_n be_v bind_v untoo_o he_o both_o too_o forget_v ourselves_o and_o to_o give_v self_n whole_o unto_o he_o but_o how_o soever_o we_o fare_v we_o see_v here_o the_o two_o ground_n of_o all_o our_o religion_n namely_o too_o know_v how_o god_n ought_v too_o be_v honour_v and_o serve_v and_o also_o how_o we_o may_v so_o offer_v ourselves_o before_o he_o

over_o when_o god_n command_v the_o ceremony_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o pass_v upon_o these_o outward_a thing_n but_o for_o that_o he_o amed_z at_o another_o end_n which_o be_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o jew_n shall_v be_v enure_v to_o patience_n by_o continual_a perceive_v of_o their_o own_o want_n and_o misery_n and_o thereupon_o rid_v

there_o so_o then_o as_o touch_v those_o that_o will_v have_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n keep_v as_o if_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v precise_o bind_v to_o they_o

that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o cousiner_n for_o why_o they_o pervert_v the_o natural_a meen_n of_o the_o law_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o school_n point_n another_o be_v that_o they_o teach_v

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o seem_v that_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v sin_n intoo_o the_o world_n true_o so_o will_v man_n judge_v of_o he_o after_o their_o own_o opinion_n howbeit_o

of_o the_o law_n yet_o do_v that_o serve_v but_o to_o prove_v unto_o they_o still_o more_o and_o more_o that_o god_n will_v never_o show_v they_o mercy_n but_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o redeemer_n no_o doubt_n but_o that_o in_o live_v chaste_o &_o sober_o &_o therewithal_o in_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n they_o have_v some_o show_n of_o righteousness_n but_o that_o come_v whole_o of_o

to_o they_o for_o it_o for_o contrariwise_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o bind_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o otherside_n we_o have_v too_o mark_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o in_o

whereof_o hypocrite_n have_v always_o make_v their_o cloak_n but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o jew_n be_v more_o damnable_a than_o all_o other_o man_n and_o why_o for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v without_o the_o law_n sin_n do_v not_o upbrayde_v man_n 13._o insomuch_o that_o man_n fall_v asleep_a and_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o their_o vice_n when_o they_o have_v not_o that_o sumner_n to_o cyte_v they_o before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n then_o whereas_o the_o wretched_a gentile_n may_v have_v some_o defence_n and_o excuse_n at_o least_o wise_a that_o they_o

of_o the_o law_n be_v as_o evidence_n to_o bind_v a_o man_n the_o more_o true_o like_a as_o although_o a_o debtor_n be_v not_o condemn_v by_o order_n of_o law_n nor_o have_v bind_v himself_o before_o

the_o man_n that_o have_v pass_v bond_n by_o order_n of_o law_n and_o enter_v his_o debt_n in_o the_o common_a record_n what_o shall_v he_o say_v more_o there_o be_v no_o shift_n for_o he_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o answer_v the_o debt_n out_o of_o hand_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v in_o the_o like_a plight_n for_o their_o wash_n of_o themselves_o when_o they_o go_v intoo_o the_o temple_n and_o in_o their_o own_o house_n and_o every_o where_o else_o be_v a_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o uncleanness_n in_o they_o again_o when_o they_o kill_v the_o beast_n and_o see_v they_o slay_v before_o they_o sure_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o lively_a picture_n of_o their_o own_o death_n and_o curse_a state_n and_o yet_o can_v not_o the_o brute_n beast_n nor_o the_o shed_n of_o their_o blood_n set_v they_o clear_a nor_o likewise_o the_o water_n which_o be_v a_o corruptible_a element_n and_o can_v come_v at_o the_o soul_n so_o then_o the_o wash_n which_o they_o use_v have_v be_v a_o fond_a thing_n if_o it_o have_v not_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o spiritual_a wash_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n likewise_o in_o baptism_n at_o these_o day_n if_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v make_v clean_o by_o the_o water_n what_o a_o abuse_n be_v it_o all_o these_o thing_n must_v serve_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n

to_o subjection_n unto_o god_n judgement_n and_o eternal_a death_n than_o the_o gentile_n be_v and_o so_o we_o see_v how_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o a_o bringer_n in_o of_o sin_n but_o a_o discoverer_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o jew_n think_v themselves_o well_o shroud_v under_o the_o ceremony_n and_o make_v a_o shield_v of_o they_o to_o fence_v themselves_o from_o god_n displeasure_n esteem_v all_o other_o nation_n unholy_a upon_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o uncleanness_n in_o all_o the_o world_n besides_o and_o that_o all_o holiness_n be_v in_o themselves_o lo_o what_o their_o bravery_n be_v yea_o but_o when_o jesus_n christ_n come_v and_o put_v they_o in_o order_n he_o show_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v fain_o too_o show_v other_o man_n by_o their_o

too_o yield_v god_n such_o service_n as_o be_v meet_v for_o he_o too_o have_v he_o say_v offer_v up_o yourselves_o as_o lyve_a sacrifice_n so_o then_o in_o the_o law_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o

o_o say_v they_o be_v they_o so_o that_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o give_v every_o man_n the_o bridle_n too_o live_v after_o his_o own_o like_n and_o too_o cause_n that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o

in_o this_o world_n that_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v of_o our_o salvation_n by_o the_o outward_a appearance_n what_o will_v become_v of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o suffer_v our_o life_n to_o be_v

of_o his_o gospel_n you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o must_v live_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o nice_a as_o to_o seek_v a_o quiet_a life_n here_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v suffer_v in_o vain_a then_o see_v we_o now_o why_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o live_v by_o faith_n for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v settle_v upon_o the_o

for_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o without_o that_o all_o that_o we_o have_v be_v nothing_o many_o will_v brag_v that_o they_o be_v well_o learn_v in_o god_n word_n but_o the_o true_a trial_n too_o know_v whither_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o be_v if_o we_o perceyve_v how_o great_a need_n we_o have_v that_o god_n shall_v pour_v out_o his_o mercy_n upon_o we_o too_o succour_v we_o by_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o we_o can_v be_v clenze_v and_o wash_v from_o any_o of_o all_o our_o spot_v but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n son_n

we_o the_o contrary_a i_o say_v it_o teach_v we_o it_o to_o the_o end_n too_o show_v we_o that_o to_o seek_v it_o thorough_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o life_n in_o us._n the_o law_n than_o say_v unto_o we_o go_v to_o take_v you_o pain_n and_o do_v you_o so_o much_o as_o you_o may_v win_v heaven_n by_o it_o and_o why_o do_v the_o law_n say_v so_o not_o too_o feed_v man_n in_o their_o vain_a self_n trust_v of_o ween_v still_o that_o they_o can_v deserve_v well_o at_o god_n hand_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o but_o to_o prepare_v they_o to_o receyve_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o lowliness_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o we_o keep_v ourselves_o aloof_o from_o god_n and_o every_o man_n bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v accept_v of_o he_o our_o lord_n will_v sure_o be_v advenge_v of_o such_o presumptuousnesse_n and_o say_v go_v to_o let_v i_o see_v what_o you_o have_v do_v come_v on_o and_o let_v we_o fall_v to_o reckon_v and_o let_v he_o that_o owe_v aught_o to_o other_o pay_v it_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v by_o i_o i_o have_v your_o wage_n in_o my_o hand_n it_o be_v ready_a for_o you_o and_o if_o you_o shall_v have_v do_v all_o that_o i_o have_v command_v you_o fear_v not_o but_o you_o shall_v be_v well_o pay_v for_o

what_o plight_n we_o be_v for_o when_o we_o once_o perceive_v our_o own_o need_n then_o will_v we_o seek_v our_o want_n at_o his_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n lead_v we_o to_o faith_n but_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o lead_v howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v there_o be_v always_o this_o contrariety_n which_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o namely_o that_o we_o can_v be_v

that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o us._n now_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v stretch_v this_o say_n of_o abacuck_n too_o far_o see_v he_o speak_v there_o but_o of_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n the_o rightuous_a shall_v live_v that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o shall_v hold_v out_o and_o although_o god_n afflict_v he_o &_o scourge_v he_o yet_o shall_v he_o not_o quail_v if_o he_o ground_n himself_o upon_o god_n promise_n and_o here_o the_o case_n concern_v not_o god_n comfort_v and_o deliver_v of_o we_o from_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a in_o this_o world_n but_o it_o concern_v our_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o far_o pass_v all_o the_o state_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n it_o seem_v therefore_o that_o s._n paul_n appli_v not_o this_o text_n of_o the_o prophet_n aright_o howbeit_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o the_o prophet_n have_v look_v no_o further_a than_o too_o this_o world_n that_o say_v of_o his_o have_v be_v very_o vain_a see_v that_o affliction_n be_v common_a both_o to_o good_a and_o bad_a again_o how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o live_v by_o faith_n see_v we_o be_v continual_o subject_a to_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o danger_n
let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o mercy_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o seek_v it_o in_o his_o name_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o any_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o

we_o have_v full_a certainty_n that_o god_n will_v always_o hear_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o merciful_a and_o favourable_a towards_o we_o namely_o if_o we_o rest_v whole_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o which_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forbear_v not_o even_o to_o become_v accurse_v for_o our_o sake_n here_o withal_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o s._n

that_o the_o promise_n belong_v first_o and_o forme_v too_o those_o that_o come_v of_o his_o race_n for_o the_o jew_n have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a interest_n in_o the_o heritage_n of_o

the_o redemption_n that_o be_v purchace_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o then_o although_o the_o say_a promise_n belong_v too_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n peculiar_a too_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o after_o they_o make_v common_a too_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o why_o for_o it_o consist_v in_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o ceremony_n by_o this_o word_n spirit_n saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o deface_v all_o the_o false_a opinion_n of_o those_o deceyver_n which_o mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n toogither_o he_o show_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n namely_o the_o

because_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v abolish_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o promise_n be_v at_o this_o day_n call_v spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o

s._n paul_n mean_v too_o say_v in_o this_o text_n and_o hereupon_o he_o use_v another_o reason_n too_o show_v that_o we_o have_v our_o salvation_n perfect_o revel_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o need_v not_o any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o that_o and_o also_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n for_o the_o law_n say_v he_o be_v give_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n after_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n now_o when_o any_o covenant_n be_v make_v though_o it_o be_v but_o between_o man_n yet_o ought_v it_o too_o be_v keep_v if_o it_o be_v once_o thorough_o

know_v that_o second_o covenante_n do_v always_o repeal_v former_a covenante_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o man_n have_v make_v any_o bargain_n yet_o they_o may_v advyze_v themselves_o better_a and_o thereupon_o change_v their_o mind_n and_o so_o the_o first_o bargain_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o law_n and_o statute_n for_o a_o former_a law_n may_v well_o be_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v by_o a_o second_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o promise_v yea_o and_o solemn_o bind_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o go_v back_o again_o but_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n howbeit_o if_o both_o the_o party_n agree_v too_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v consent_v on_o and_o be_v both_o of_o one_o mind_n then_o may_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v no_o fit_a similitude_n too_o take_v man_n that_o be_v fickleminded_a and_o changeable_a through_o lightness_n or_o by_o better_a advice_n but_o s._n paul_n presuppose_v a_o covenant_n too_o be_v make_v by_o a_o man_n that_o will_v stand_v to_o it_o and_o not_o fall_v too_o scan_v afterward_o how_o to_o shift_v it_o off_o by_o any_o mean_n at_o all_o for_o if_o any_o of_o the_o party_n shall_v do_v against_o the_o former_a covenant_n it_o be_v a_o falsehood_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o among_o man_n because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enregister_v so_o solemn_o aught_o to_o be_v stand_v too_o and_o perform_v without_o any_o gaynsay_n now_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v less_o steadfastness_n in_o god_n than_o in_o man_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n the_o gospel_n therefore_o must_v continue_v unimpeach_v notwithstanding_o that_o the_o law_n come_v in_o after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n this_o will_v be_v still_o dark_a if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v in_o order_n i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o what_o comparison_n s._n paul_n make_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v salvation_n in_o his_o law_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o man_n serve_v he_o and_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v we_o shut_v out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o law_n not_o that_o god_n be_v not_o faithful_a on_o his_o side_n but_o because_o we_o keep_v not_o touch_v with_o he_o in_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o sell_v you_o this_o thing_n so_o you_o bring_v i_o money_n now_o if_o a_o man_n bring_v neither_o money_n nor_o money_n worth_a he_o can_v not_o be_v put_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v for_o the_o condition_n be_v that_o he_o must_v first_o pay_v for_o it_o so_o then_o god_n promise_v we_o the_o heritage_n of_o salvation_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v serve_v he_o but_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o because_o it_o be_v but_o upon_o condition_n that_o we_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fraught_v with_o all_o iniquity_n and_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o uncleanness_n and_o filth_n in_o somuche_o that_o we_o be_v just_o odious_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v in_o the_o law_n howbeit_o god_n receyve_v we_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o he_o offer_v we_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o will_v have_v we_o so_o too_o embrace_v his_o offer_a goodness_n as_o we_o shall_v hold_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o utter_o renounce_v ourselves_o but_o now_o say_v saint_n paul_n let_v we_o see_v whither_o go_v before_o other_o in_o antiquity_n the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n or_o the_o law_n we_o know_v the_o diversity_n that_o be_v betwixt_o they_o then_o if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o auncient_a it_o may_v seem_v that_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v stick_v too_o because_o god_n do_v never_o unsay_v his_o word_n neither_o be_v variable_a but_o if_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v the_o elder_a and_o be_v make_v before_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o god_n repent_v he_o not_o ne_o call_v back_o his_o promise_n at_o that_o time_n ne_o mean_v to_o disannul_v the_o say_a covenant_n for_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o diminish_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o have_v first_o bind_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o promise_v man_n salvation_n without_o their_o desert_n and_o afterward_o intend_v to_o restrain_v it_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v to_o enrich_v himself_o with_o our_o good_a work_n it_o be_v a_o auk_fw-mi thing_n too_o talk_v after_o that_o fashion_n for_o saint_n paul_n show_v
to_o lament_v their_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v rest_v themselves_o whole_o upon_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o do_v they_o it_o not_o till_o god_n have_v strike_v they_o as_o it_o have_v be_v with_o many_o blow_n of_o a_o beetle_n upon_o the_o head_n which_o thing_n he_o do_v by_o the_o law_n moreover_o saint_n paul_n show_v that_o we_o abuse_v the_o gentleness_n of_o our_o god_n through_o our_o unthankfulness_n because_o that_o the_o more_o courteous_a he_o show_v himself_o towards_o we_o the_o more_o occasion_n do_v we_o take_v thereby_o too_o

borrow_v a_o piece_n of_o money_n he_o be_v a_o debtor_n and_o give_v a_o bill_n of_o his_o hand_n for_o it_o but_o if_o he_o bind_v his_o good_n or_o body_n for_o it_o by_o recognizance_n or_a

itself_o be_v enough_o too_o condemn_v man_n because_o they_o be_v all_o offender_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n see_v the_o pride_n that_o be_v root_v in_o our_o nature_n he_o add_v the_o ceremony_n for_o a_o overplus_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o solemn_a bond_n against_o us._n but_o now_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o all_o this_o gear_n serve_v but_o till_o the_o promise_a seed_n be_v come_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o the_o law_n serve_v not_o too_o hold_v those_o in_o slavery_n and_o bondage_n which_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o he_o that_o there_o they_o may_v find_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o want_v in_o the_o law_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n use_v of_o rigour_n in_o condemn_v of_o we_o procure_v our_o welfare_n and_o his_o thunder_a upon_o we_o after_o that_o fashion_n be_v a_o witness_n of_o his_o singular_a goodness_n towards_o us._n and_o why_o so_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o and_o experience_n show_v it_o too_o much_o that_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o abuse_v his_o gentleness_n and_o too_o draw_v it_o clean_o contrary_a to_o his_o meen_n therefore_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o rouse_v we_o up_o and_o to_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n and_o to_o make_v we_o here_o this_o dreadful_a sentence_n able_a to_o cast_v we_o into_o despair_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o for_o we_o to_o look_v for_o but_o everlasting_a death_n and_o final_o too_o confirm_v and_o ratify_v the_o same_o sentence_n still_o yea_o but_o all_o this_o be_v but_o too_o make_v we_o stoop_v that_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n we_o shall_v flee_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o a_o true_a and_o unfeigned_a zeal_n and_o learn_v to_o rest_v upon_o he_o when_o we_o be_v trouble_v with_o unquietness_n and_o torment_n of_o conscience_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n have_v say_v express_o that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v too_o continue_v no_o long_o than_o till_o the_o promise_a seed_n be_v come_v now_o if_o a_o man_n demand_v how_o then_o do_v the_o father_n obtain_v salvation_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o law_n reign_v and_o have_v his_o full_a

of_o the_o church_n at_o the_o come_n of_o the_o anoint_a and_o so_o be_v they_o also_o which_o have_v heretofore_o be_v separate_v a_o great_a way_n off_o not_o only_o from_o god_n but_o also_o one_o from_o another_o now_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n howbeit_o that_o we_o may_v profit_v the_o better_a by_o this_o text_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o law_n by_o the_o angel_n so_o shall_v they_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o if_o the_o law_n bear_v no_o sway_n with_o we_o and_o that_o we_o make_v none_o account_v of_o it_o but_o do_v as_o it_o be_v tread_v

it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o perform_v all_o that_o the_o law_n command_v and_o if_o we_o shall_v stand_v upon_o that_o point_n we_o shall_v be_v plunge_v into_o everlasting_a death_n and_o utter_o overwhelm_v in_o despair_n but_o first_o of_o all_o see_v that_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a too_o we_o as_o too_o teach_v we_o his_o will_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_n let_v we_o bow_v down_o our_o neck_n and_o receyve_v the_o yoke_n that_o god_n lay_v upon_o we_o to_o make_v we_o subject_a unto_o he_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o

let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o better_a see_v that_o the_o angel_n keep_v watch_n and_o ward_n about_o we_o &_o will_v not_o now_o after_o that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o in_o charge_n to_o

be_v shed_v to_o wash_v away_o all_o our_o spot_v and_o that_o his_o death_n be_v a_o sufficient_a sacrifice_n too_o appease_v god_n wrath_n and_o to_o wipe_v out_o the_o remembrance_n of_o all_o our_o offence_n &_o iniquity_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o way_n to_o set_v we_o free_a be_v to_o know_v that_o god_n receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n &_o that_o our_o fault_n &_o sin_n shall_v not_o hinder_v we_o to_o find_v favour_n always_o in_o his_o sight_n or_o to_o have_v familiar_a access_n unto_o he_o as_o child_n have_v untoo_o their_o father_n second_o we_o must_v not_o be_v waver_v too_o &_o fro_o to_o make_v conscience_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o man_n devise_v of_o their_o own_o head_n but_o walk_v steadfast_o according_a to_o god_n word_n know_v moreover_o that_o our_o conscience_n be_v free_a &_o that_o whither_o man_n command_v or_o forbid_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o we_o i_o meene_z as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spiritual_a regiment_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o we_o talk_v not_o here_o of_o civil_a policy_n nor_o of_o the_o common_a life_n of_o man_n but_o of_o our_o salvation_n so_o then_o all_o thing_n ought_v too_o be_v free_a untoo_o we_o when_o they_o be_v not_o forbid_v we_o by_o god_n own_o mouth_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v god_n word_n for_o our_o guide_n without_o mingle_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o with_o it_o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o we_o must_v therewithal_o know_v that_o god_n accept_v our_o affection_n when_o he_o see_v we_o willing_a to_o

why_o for_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o as_o a_o father_n with_o his_o child_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o freedom_n wherein_o we_o must_v stand_v except_o we_o will_v be_v separate_v from_o our_o

we_o be_v in_o doubt_n and_o unquietness_n not_o know_v whether_o god_n accept_v our_o service_n or_o no_o and_o therewithal_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o or_o that_o at_o man_n

which_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v not_o to_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o do_v what_o we_o ourselves_o think_v good_a as_o though_o he_o lay_v the_o reins_n of_o the_o bridle_n upon_o our_o neck_n and_o that_o will_v he_o also_o protest_v in_o place_n convenient_a then_o intend_v he_o none_o other_o thing_n than_o that_o we_o may_v serve_v god_n quiet_o without_o grief_n of_o mind_n without_o

of_o that_o freedom_n be_v too_o be_v able_a too_o carry_v a_o cheerful_a and_o quiet_a mind_n before_o god_n for_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v the_o hart_n to_o obey_v he_o but_o

and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v despise_v for_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o jest_v in_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n when_o he_o offer_v up_o himself_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n

to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o law_n wo_n worth_a i_o for_o i_o be_o guilty_a after_o so_o many_o sort_n yea_o even_o without_o number_n that_o if_o i_o shall_v suffer_v a_o million_o of_o death_n it_o be_v too_o little_a for_o the_o offence_n that_o i_o have_v commit_v nevertheless_o god_n will_v be_v favourable_a to_o i_o and_o take_v i_o to_o mercy_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o when_o i_o resort_v to_o he_o i_o may_v come_v with_o my_o head_n bolt_n upright_o as_o have_v my_o quit_v est_fw-la and_o clear_a discharge_n which_o be_v give_v i_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n

jesus_n christ_n sake_n after_o this_o manner_n say_v i_o must_v we_o come_v before_o god_n if_o we_o will_v conceyve_v and_o understand_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o liberty_n or_o freedom_n that_o

god_n will_v be_v favourable_a to_o we_o &_o thereupon_o can_v find_v peace_n and_o assurance_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v there_o aforehand_o on_o the_o

all_o of_o we_o drown_v in_o bondage_n and_o that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v once_o set_v we_o free_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o maintain_v well_o such_o a_o benefit_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o

untoo_o the_o end_n of_o it_o because_o the_o deceyver_n that_o have_v pervert_v the_o pureness_n of_o the_o gospel_n among_o the_o galathians_n make_v they_o believe_v that_o they_o ought_v too_o

a_o worth_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o pope_n hold_v the_o same_o devilish_a foundation_n which_o those_o cousiner_n labour_v too_o bring_v in_o howbeit_o that_o this_o be_v yet_o worse_a that_o

that_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o mark_v well_o this_o lesson_n where_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o serve_v god_n we_o must_v not_o shun_v neither_o trouble_n

though_o there_o be_v great_a frailty_n in_o we_o yet_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o remedy_v all_o our_o weakness_n and_o to_o give_v we_o sufficient_a strength_n to_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o uttermost_a howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v see_v he_o employ_v we_o in_o his_o service_n we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v nothing_o of_o ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o dishonour_v he_o so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v he_o subject_a to_o man_n lust_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n furthermore_o we_o be_v warn_v therewithal_o to_o suspectall_a such_o as_o seek_v their_o own_o advantage_n and_o profit_n and_o all_o such_o as_o disguise_v themselves_o row_v between_o two_o

we_o mind_n to_o serve_v god_n simple_o and_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_v this_o sentence_n where_o saint_n paul_n say_v 10_o that_o if_o his_o mind_n be_v too_o please_v man_n he_o must_v of_o

on_o all_o side_n and_o again_o man_n be_v natural_o dispose_v thereunto_o every_o man_n covet_v to_o be_v soothe_v and_o uphilde_n and_o to_o have_v all_o his_o vice_n cloak_v to_o be_v short_a there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o desire_v too_o be_v fode_v and_o maintain_v in_o his_o recklessness_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v friend_n with_o man_n too_o frame_v ourselves_o untoo_o

show_v it_o in_fw-la another_o epistle_n heretofore_o where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o have_v be_v often_o whip_v that_o he_o have_v be_v once_o stone_v that_o he_o have_v be_v cast_v in_o prison_n
