how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o he_o which_o be_v lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n take_v that_o subjection_n upon_o he_o to_o set_v we_o free_a from_o it_o for_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v circumcyze_v and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o keep_v diligent_o all_o that_o belong_v too_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n not_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v it_o but_o to_o put_v away_o the_o bondage_n and_o to_o break_v the_o bond_n wherewith_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v pinch_v and_o fetter_v therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o the_o gospel_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o liberty_n whereof_o s._n paul_n do_v also_o treat_v in_o this_o text_n let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o become_v not_o bond_n after_o that_o fashion_n for_o nothing_o now_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o which_o contain_v not_o the_o performance_n of_o our_o salvation_n then_o must_v we_o needs_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v not_o any_o more_o subject_a to_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n or_o else_o it_o will_v turn_v too_o the_o dishonour_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o after_o his_o yield_v of_o himself_o to_o subjection_n for_o our_o sake_n we_o shall_v still_o hold_v scorn_n of_o liberty_n it_o be_v more_o convenient_a that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v change_v their_o nature_n than_o too_o say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v come_v down_o here_o bylow_a and_o have_v abace_v himself_o in_o manner_n aforesaid_a and_o yet_o that_o we_o shall_v esteem_v it_o but_o as_o a_o play_n or_o trifle_a thing_n for_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v that_o now_o they_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o may_v now_o serve_v our_o god_n free_o and_o come_v direct_o unto_o he_o without_o be_v hold_v any_o more_o so_o streit_o under_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n as_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v &_o have_v set_v we_o free_a i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o heretofore_o in_o what_o wise_a we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o remain_v not_o still_o as_o a_o rule_n to_o frame_v our_o life_n by_o so_o as_o god_n may_v govern_v we_o &_o have_v all_o superiority_n over_o us._n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v worse_o they_o the_o heathen_a folk_n &_o unbeliever_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o have_v the_o law_n ingrave_v in_o their_o heart_n as_o say_v s._n paul_n 15._o he_o that_o never_o go_v too_o school_n ne_o have_v have_v any_o teach_n at_o all_o nor_o ever_o have_v herd_n or_o red_a any_o thing_n may_v notwithstanding_o discern_v between_o good_a &_o evil_a not_o that_o he_o have_v a_o perfect_a skill_n but_o because_o that_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v with_o he_o god_n to_o take_v away_o all_o excuce_n of_o ignorance_n will_v that_o man_n shall_v have_v that_o evidence_n print_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o theft_n whoredom_n extortion_n deceit_n perjury_n drunkenness_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n be_v vice_n to_o be_v condemn_v also_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o have_v man_n know_v that_o to_o blaspheme_v his_o name_n be_v a_o irksome_a thing_n the_o heathen_a folk_n know_v all_o this_o without_o any_o teach_n now_o than_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v lawless_a under_o pretence_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n reign_v over_o we_o and_o have_v set_v we_o at_o liberty_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o there_o will_v be_v great_a confusion_n in_o the_o church_n than_o there_o be_v where_o satan_n have_v make_v a_o minglemangle_n and_o put_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o order_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o bridle_n at_o all_o but_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o respect_n whereof_o mention_n have_v be_v make_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o the_o law_n shall_v not_o execute_v any_o more_o this_o sharpness_n and_o rigour_n upon_o we_o too_o say_v unto_o we_o curse_a shall_v he_o be_v that_o fulfil_v not_o all_o thing_n for_o so_o long_o as_o the_o threaten_a remain_v and_o stand_v in_o force_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o man_n out_o of_o their_o wit_n and_o as_o folk_n upon_o the_o rack_n ready_a to_o be_v tear_v in_o piece_n to_o be_v short_a we_o can_v have_v no_o rest_n except_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n be_v abolish_v which_o be_v that_o they_o which_o perform_v not_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v accurse_v but_o contrariwise_o let_v our_o conscience_n bear_v we_o record_v that_o god_n pity_v we_o and_o bear_v with_o our_o infirmity_n as_o a_o father_n do_v towards_o his_o child_n and_o pass_v not_o upon_o the_o vice_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o hide_v &_o buri_v they_o so_o as_o our_o seruis_fw-la be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o though_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n amiss_o in_o it_o &_o then_o be_v we_o no_o more_o subject_n to_o the_o law_n not_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o without_o rule_n nor_o that_o the_o commandment_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v preach_v continual_o unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v what_o god_n have_v ordain_v &_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n by_o it_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v out_o of_o hart_n if_o we_o fall_v or_o halt_v or_o make_v any_o false_a step_n or_o that_o if_o we_o can_v discharge_v ourselves_o of_o all_o thing_n so_o perfect_o as_o be_v requisite_a yet_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v utter_o dismay_v know_v well_o that_o god_n will_v always_o hold_v we_o up_o by_o the_o hand_n &_o not_o enter_v into_o account_n with_o we_o to_o sift_v our_o life_n rigorous_o &_o moreover_o because_o the_o ceremony_n that_o be_v before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o more_o in_o use_n as_o they_o be_v towards_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n who_o be_v train_v by_o they_o as_o in_o their_o childhood_n for_o when_o the_o brute_n beast_n be_v offer_v in_o sacrifice_n every_o man_n behild_n there_o his_o own_o death_n as_o though_o the_o bottomless_a gulf_n of_o hell_n have_v be_v open_v too_o swallow_v up_o the_o whole_a world_n at_o this_o day_n we_o know_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v by_o his_o offer_v up_o of_o himself_o in_o sacrifice_n and_o by_o his_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n for_o we_o purchase_v we_o ever_o last_a redemption_n so_o that_o we_o come_v with_o our_o head_n upright_o before_o god_n not_o doubt_v but_o that_o we_o obtain_v life_n by_o the_o death_n of_o he_o that_o be_v not_o subject_a too_o it_o but_o of_o his_o own_o good_a will_n make_v himself_o subject_a too_o it_o as_o our_o surety_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v quit_v and_o discharge_v by_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o at_o this_o day_n the_o law_n be_v abolish_v towards_o we_o &_o that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o even_o to_o obtain_v the_o adoption_n howbeit_o in_o speak_v so_o s._n paul_n meen_v not_o that_o the_o patriarch_n king_n prophet_n and_o other_o faithful_a folk_n that_o live_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o we_o or_o that_o they_o know_v not_o themselves_o to_o be_v adopt_v by_o faith_n as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o that_o the_o say_a adoption_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o revel_v as_o it_o be_v now_o adays_o for_o as_o we_o have_v see_v the_o law_n be_v a_o tutor_n too_o rule_v little_a child_n but_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o age_n of_o man_n because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o and_o bring_v we_o all_o perfectness_n by_o his_o come_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o do_v now_o enjoy_v the_o adoption_n which_o the_o father_n do_v but_o as_o it_o be_v taste_v of_o afore_o because_o the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v not_o that_o god_n wrought_v not_o in_o they_o with_o such_o measure_n of_o his_o spirit_n as_o he_o think_v good_a but_o because_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o order_n of_o government_n that_o god_n hold_v &_o not_o the_o person_n themselves_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o for_o in_o those_o day_n there_o be_v shadow_n and_o figure_n so_o that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o chain_n of_o bondage_n but_o now_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o to_o he_o and_o that_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v rend_v asunder_o he_o have_v prepare_v we_o a_o sanctuary_n not_o build_v with_o man_n hand_n but_o of_o a_o heavenly_a make_n whereinto_o we_o may_v bold_o enter_v in_z asmuch_o as_o he_o be_v go_v in_o thither_o before_o us._n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v receyve_v full_o into_o
thus_o furthermore_o when_o the_o wicked_a sort_n which_o set_v their_o tongue_n to_o sale_n like_o harlot_n in_o a_o brothelhouse_n and_o cast_v out_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n and_o his_o word_n find_v any_o cloak_n either_o too_o despize_n or_o too_o reject_v the_o gospel_n by_o and_o by_o many_o wretched_a folk_n have_v their_o tongue_n file_v to_o say_v alas_o we_o see_v that_o this_o doctrine_n bring_v great_a stumblingblocke_n with_o it_o yea_o and_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v not_o be_v that_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n report_v he_o too_o be_v if_o the_o gospel_n cause_v not_o many_o stumbling_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v dismay_v at_o they_o we_o must_v rather_o overcome_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o this_o streyne_v where_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v never_o hold_v out_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n except_o we_o be_v arm_v with_o such_o constancio_n as_o not_o to_o turn_v out_o of_o the_o way_n let_v satan_n do_v what_o he_o can_v very_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o must_v as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v eschew_v all_o stumblingblock_n and_o go_v on_o forward_o and_o put_v the●●side_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o how_o every_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o behave_v himself_o insomuch_o that_o the_o prophet_n esay_n speak_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n 4._o say_v that_o the_o way_n must_v be_v make_v level_a and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v rough_a and_o crooked_a before_o must_v now_o be_v make_v smooth_a and_o streyt_n well_o then_o we_o must_v do_v what_o we_o can_v that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v humble_v and_o that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v stumblingblock_n and_o comberance_n and_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v reign_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o enemy_n let_v we_o go_v forward_o and_o defy_v all_o satan_n practice_n and_o not_o mislike_v of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o though_o we_o see_v never_o so_o many_o stumbling_n and_o stumblingblocke_n abroad_o in_o the_o world_n now_o s._n paul_n have_v say_v so_o add_v i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o all_o they_o which_o trouble_v you_o be_v cut_v off_o it_o may_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o s._n paul_n be_v move_v here_o with_o to_o much_o choler_n when_o he_o wish_v that_o all_o those_o which_o sow_v their_o darnel_n and_o error_n abroad_o to_o pervert_v god_n pure_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v dispatch_v that_o the_o devil_n may_v possess_v they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v never_o find_v mercy_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o so_o do_v the_o word_n cut_v off_o betoken_v but_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o the_o zele_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o god_n glory_n forget_v all_o worldly_a respect_n when_o they_o be_v put_v into_o the_o balance_n together_o howbeit_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a let_v we_o first_o note_n that_o in_o this_o word_n cut_v off_o s._n paul_n have_v speak_v by_o a_o similitude_n for_o those_o rascal_n that_o have_v corrupt_v and_o falsify_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n strive_v for_o circumcizion_n well_o then_o say_v he_o pare_v off_o and_o cut_v off_o as_o much_o as_o you_o listen_v and_o yet_o all_o your_o seek_n be_v but_o to_o have_v other_o man_n busy_v about_o such_o pelt_a trifle_n as_o well_o as_o yourselves_o but_o as_o for_o i_o i_o will_v that_o all_o such_o deceyver_n be_v quite_o and_o clean_o cut_v off_o and_o that_o god_n will_v sink_v they_o or_o root_v they_o out_o &_o so_o cast_v they_o off_o and_o damn_v they_o as_o they_o may_v not_o have_v any_o hope_n of_o salvation_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v i_o tell_v you_o short_o that_o when_o man_n make_v war_n against_o god_n we_o must_v become_v such_o deadly_a enemy_n unto_o they_o as_o we_o must_v utter_o put_v out_o of_o mind_n all_o kindred_n and_o friendship_n and_o all_o that_o else_o be_v for_o otherwise_o we_o do_v not_o our_o duty_n in_o any_o wise_a unto_o our_o god_n who_o see_v he_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o our_o father_n and_o do_v we_o the_o honour_n to_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n aught_o at_o the_o least_o to_o have_v his_o glory_n esteem_v of_o we_o above_o all_o thing_n but_o we_o must_v pass_v on_o yet_o further_o for_o what_o be_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n again_o how_o precious_a ought_v 〈◊〉_d truth_n too_o be_v untoo_o we_o moreover_o see_v that_o he_o do_v so_o join_v his_o glory_n with_o our_o welfare_n as_o we_o can_v procure_v the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o yea_o and_o that_o we_o can_v neither_o profit_v he_o nor_o disprofite_n he_o though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o zealous_a to_o maintain_v his_o quarrel_n for_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o we_o neither_o need_v he_o to_o borrow_v our_o help_a hand_n but_o yet_o he_o make_v we_o his_o deputy_n or_o agent_n too_o none_o other_o end_n but_o that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v seek_v his_o own_o profit_n howbeit_o not_o of_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o these_o corruptible_a thing_n but_o in_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n see_v i_o say_v that_o god_n employ_v we_o after_o such_o sort_n and_o we_o notwithstanding_o be_v still_o reckless_a and_o cold_a be_v this_o treachery_n of_o we_o excusable_a nay_o we_o must_v come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 10._o the_o zeal_n of_o thy_o house_n have_v eat_v i_o up_o and_o the_o railing_n of_o they_o that_o rail_v on_o thou_o i_o have_v take_v to_o myself_o certes_o this_o be_v full_o accomplish_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o saint_n paul_n show_v that_o we_o must_v be_v fashion_v like_o unto_o he_o as_o our_o pattern_n so_o that_o whensoever_o we_o see_v god_n honour_n deface_v by_o man_n every_o of_o we_o must_v set_v himself_o manful_o against_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v brief_o that_o the_o rule_n which_o we_o must_v gather_v here_o be_v that_o we_o must_v prefer_v god_n honour_n before_o all_o thing_n yea_o even_o before_o a_o whole_a million_o of_o life_n if_o we_o have_v they_o then_o be_v it_o not_o for_o we_o to_o spare_v man_n when_o they_o streyne_v themselves_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n to_o trample_v god_n name_n under_o foot_n to_o turmoyl_v the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o may_v no_o more_o know_v what_o religion_n to_o stick_v untoo_o and_o to_o drive_v away_o all_o peace_n utter_o out_o of_o the_o church_n therefore_o if_o we_o see_v man_n apply_v their_o indever_n that_o way_n be_v it_o not_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v their_o adversary_n 18_o true_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a we_o must_v procure_v friendship_n and_o agreement_n with_o all_o man_n yea_o on_o our_o own_o behalf_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o say_v saint_n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n but_o when_o we_o see_v these_o naughtipacke_n advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n and_o thrust_v forth_o their_o horn_n too_o doss_n at_o he_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v step_v forward_o and_o show_v in_o deed_n that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o our_o own_o man_n but_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v buy_v and_o pay_v for_o we_o so_o dear_o he_o ought_v of_o right_a to_o be_v lord_n both_o of_o our_o life_n and_o of_o our_o death_n you_o see_v then_o why_o saint_n paul_n make_v here_o so_o sharp_a a_o wish_n name_o that_o they_o which_o have_v trouble_v the_o galathians_n may_v be_v utter_o alienate_v from_o god_n and_o drown_v in_o the_o gulf_n of_o damnation_n now_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o this_o wish_n be_v against_o the_o rule_n of_o charity_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a enough_o for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o love_v our_o enemy_n yea_o though_o they_o persecute_v &_o vex_v we_o and_o although_o they_o seek_v nothing_o but_o our_o destruction_n yet_o must_v we_o procure_v their_o welfare_n &_o salvation_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n and_o we_o must_v have_v pity_n &_o compassion_n of_o they_o to_o see_v they_o so_o give_v over_o unto_o satan_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o charity_n import_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_n must_v be_v above_o all_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o therefore_o charity_n be_v between_o man_n and_o man_n when_o any_o man_n shall_v have_v do_v i_o wrong_n i_o must_v forget_v it_o though_o he_o bear_v i_o malice_n yet_o must_v i_o procure_v his_o welfare_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o maynteyn_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 and_o too_o have_v all_o our_o commodity_n and_o ease_n here_o for_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v forgo_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v we_o we_o shall_v forget_v he_o and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o utter_a destruction_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o take_v the_o mirror_n of_o god_n word_n and_o there_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o furmount_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o be_v set_v far_o out_o of_o this_o world_n and_o be_v utter_o invisible_a and_o let_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n thither_o not_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o our_o own_o reason_n &_o skill_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o guide_v we_o for_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o so_o as_o we_o may_v climb_v above_o the_o world_n and_o forsake_v the_o present_a thing_n to_o the_o end_n to_o hold_v ourselves_o fast_o in_o god_n promise_n and_o to_o be_v patient_a in_o all_o affliction_n and_o misery_n whereby_o we_o shall_v be_v exercise_v and_o against_o which_o we_o must_v befain_v to_o fight_v till_o we_o receyve_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o victory_n when_o we_o be_v convey_v up_o into_o the_o rest_n of_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o have_v we_o to_o gather_v upon_o this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n which_o may_v seem_v dark_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n but_o when_o we_o have_v on_o the_o one_o side_n mark_v well_o what_o our_o state_n be_v while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o on_o

be_v never_o seek_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o faith_n the_o word_n be_v very_o short_a but_o it_o draw_v a_o long_a tail_n after_o it_o as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o addition_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o for_o saint_n paul_n declare_v that_o he_o live_v by_o faith_n because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v love_v he_o and_o deliver_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o he_o as_o much_o must_v we_o do_v for_o

and_o too_o purchase_v we_o life_n and_o salvation_n have_v we_o not_o cause_n if_o we_o think_v well_o upon_o it_o to_o overleape_v all_o the_o let_v that_o satan_n can_v cast_v in_o our_o way_n to_o

all_o remptation_n if_o we_o can_v consider_v of_o what_o value_n the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o what_o it_o import_v so_o then_o s._n paul_n arm_v we_o here_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v hold_v out_o with_o invincible_a constancy_n against_o all_o the_o stop_n that_o satan_n labour_v too_o lay_v afore_o we_o to_o hinder_v we_o from_o keep_v on_o our_o course_n when_o the_o faithful_a be_v pinch_v with_o hunger_n or_o thirst_n they_o be_v trouble_v with_o look_v here_o and_o there_o for_o the_o promise_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v heir_n of_o

be_v in_o any_o peril_n or_o be_v persecute_v so_o as_o they_o have_v many_o wrong_n and_o injury_n do_v they_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o succour_v of_o all_o that_o while_n 8_o they_o may_v think_v

spare_v not_o himself_o but_o abace_v himself_o so_o far_o as_o too_o suffer_v so_o slanderous_a yea_o and_o curse_v a_o death_n and_o afterward_o also_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n howbeit_o but_o for_o a_o while_n too_o the_o end_n too_o set_v we_o free_a and_o clear_a and_o too_o purchase_v we_o grace_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n his_o father_n shall_v that_o do_n of_o his_o bee_n

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

and_o heavenly_a power_n 4_o as_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o another_o text._n and_o therefore_o when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o consider_v what_o the_o same_o import_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n of_o reconciliation_n between_o god_n &_o man_n a_o

that_o there_o be_v such_o power_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o thereupon_o we_o march_v further_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o the_o glory_n whereuntoo_o it_o lead_v we_o let_v we_o not_o any_o more_o imagine_v that_o man_n ought_v hereafter_o to_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o nature_n but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o live_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n assure_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v in_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v contain_v there_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n whereunto_o we_o shall_v refer_v this_o say_n where_o saint_n paul_n tell_v
from_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n be_v too_o show_v that_o they_o be_v unmatchable_a and_o can_v no_o more_o be_v join_v together_o than_o fire_n and_o water_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n betwixt_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o for_o we_o know_v that_o both_o twain_o of_o they_o do_v come_v of_o god_n but_o here_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o take_v god_n meen_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o declare_v it_o to_o we_o which_o be_v that_o by_o set_v the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o the_o law_n before_o we_o he_o intend_v to_o humble_v

that_o saint_n paul_n allege_v here_o the_o say_n of_o abacuk_n 4_o how_o that_o the_o rightuous_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o same_o place_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v he_o open_v

that_o the_o world_n know_v not_o god_n in_o true_a wisdom_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o use_v another_o fashion_n of_o teach_v which_o be_v by_o foolishness_n for_o be_v we_o thorough_o

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

old_a time_n so_o as_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v all_o cease_v at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forasmuch_o therefore_o as_o the_o galathians_n mingle_v the_o old_a figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n saint_n paul_n be_v not_o able_a too_o suffer_v it_o say_v that_o they_o be_v turn_v aside_o from_o god_n yea_o and_o utter_o fall_v away_o from_o he_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o worse_a thing_n than_o that_o namely_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v thereby_o disannul_v because_o man_n do_v always_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o deserve_v and_o earn_v righteousness_n before_o god_n to_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o their_o serve_v of_o he_o and_o so_o when_o these_o deceiver_n have_v bring_v in_o the_o say_a error_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o keep_v the_o old_a forworne_a figure_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v threaped_a a_o meritorious_a service_n upon_o god_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n but_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v of_o free_a gift_n or_o else_o jesus_n christ_n be_v nothing_o worth_a i_o term_v it_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n for_o if_o we_o imagine_v never_o so_o small_a a_o drop_n of_o deserve_v in_o ourselves_o it_o stop_v we_o from_o come_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v a_o ancient_a doctor_n say_v that_o we_o can_v receyve_v the_o salvation_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n except_o we_o have_v first_o dispatch_v the_o mynd_n of_o our_o own_o desert_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o utter_a wretchedness_n in_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n have_v yet_o more_o just_a reason_n too_o say_v that_o the_o galathians_n be_v carry_v away_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o his_o father_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o this_o clog_n more_o namely_o that_o

in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o act_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n why_o saint_n paul_n blame_v the_o galathians_n for_o fall_v away_o like_o perjure_a person_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o our_o

to_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n without_o waver_v one_o way_n or_o other_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o christian_n no_o nor_o yet_o to_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o baptism_n but_o we_o must_v continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o our_o lord_n

of_o god_n his_o father_n now_o the_o gospel_n show_v wherefore_o he_o be_v come_v what_o his_o office_n be_v the_o benefit_n that_o we_o receyve_v by_o he_o and_o what_o his_o power_n be_v towards_o

when_o we_o be_v plunge_v in_o so_o many_o error_n trumperye_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v utter_o unknown_a too_o us._n see_v that_o god_n have_v now_o of_o his_o own_o

this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n furthermore_o to_o put_v the_o galathians_n to_o the_o great_a shame_n he_o set_v before_o they_o their_o call_n

the_o thing_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v too_o consider_v in_o that_o visible_a sacrament_n be_v that_o man_n nature_n be_v curse_v before_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v well_o seek_v but_o never_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 due_a time_n and_o place_n that_o there_o be_v never_o yet_o any_o man_n so_o perfect_a but_o there_o be_v always_o much_o to_o be_v blame_v in_o he_o therefore_o we_o have_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o jew_n can_v not_o be_v so_o well_o take_v and_o accept_v at_o god_n hand_n but_o that_o they_o have_v need_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o their_o salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v ground_v whole_o upon_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n also_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o ceremony_n they_o bear_v themselves_o on_o hand_n that_o there_o be_v great_a holiness_n in_o they_o as_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 be_v not_o so_o guilty_a before_o god_n the_o jew_n in_o offer_v their_o sacrifize_v have_v it_o witness_v too_o their_o face_n that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o so_o consequent_o double_a guilty_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o collossian_n s_o paul_n use_v this_o similitude_n 14._o that_o the_o ceremony_n 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 a_o notary_n nor_o give_v assurance_n in_o write_v under_o his_o hand_n and_o seal_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n too_o pay_v his_o debt_n even_o so_o although_o the_o gentyle_n have_v not_o any_o authentical_a matter_n of_o record_n whereby_o to_o be_v condemn_v yet_o cease_v they_o not_o too_o be_v still_o worthy_a of_o death_n but_o as_o for_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 jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o whereas_o the_o jew_n be_v exercyse_v in_o the_o law_n the_o same_o be_v a_o great_a evidence_n against_o they_o and_o bind_v they_o straightly_a 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 own_o example_n that_o their_o salvation_n be_v too_o be_v seek_v elsewhere_o than_o in_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o that_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o come_v to_o he_o with_o such_o humility_n as_o too_o confess_v that_o they_o on_o their_o part_n bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o utter_a cursednesse_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n discover_v the_o mischief_n that_o have_v be_v hide_v before_o like_v as_o disease_a person_n shall_v oftentimes_o not_o perceyve_v the_o fester_a of_o some_o sore_n that_o will_v breed_v some_o deadly_a disease_n till_o the_o

which_o saint_n paul_n put_v forth_o here_o likewise_o in_o these_o day_n if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n too_o such_o as_o think_v they_o serve_v god_n and_o hope_v to_o win_v heaven_n by_o their_o own_o desert_n they_o be_v greeve_v at_o it_o because_o that_o that_o gate_n be_v shut_v against_o they_o by_o the_o presumptuousnesse_n which_o they_o have_v conceyve_v afore_o hand_n

if_o one_o tell_v he_o that_o we_o be_v all_o wretched_a and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o thing_n for_o we_o too_o lean_a unto_o but_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v unto_o god_n be_v but_o filthy_a and_o loath_o he_o will_v storm_v and_o reply_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v no_o

although_o the_o hypocrite_n perceyve_v much_o lewdness_n in_o themselves_o yet_o will_v they_o fain_o hide_v all_o under_o their_o cowl_n for_o they_o break_v out_o after_o this_o manner_n one_o

too_o god_n because_o that_o whereas_o they_o profess_v to_o hold_v of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o despyze_v and_o spite_v he_o and_o be_v as_o dung_n and_o filthiness_n too_o mar_v all_o thing_n baptism_n then_o make_v we_o not_o all_o christian_n and_o again_o we_o know_v that_o too_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v too_o great_a a_o benefit_n to_o be_v father_v upon_o a_o

notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o yet_o they_o make_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o it_o through_o their_o unbeleef_n lewdness_n and_o rebellion_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o

thing_n contrary_a 2_o s._n paul_n upbraid_v the_o corinthian_n that_o he_o be_v drive_v too_o give_v they_o milk_n as_o to_o little_a babe_n because_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o able_a to_o brucke_v

we_o into_o his_o favour_n &_o grace_n though_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o have_v any_o certainty_n of_o it_o except_o we_o have_v our_o quittance_n always_o before_o our_o eye_n which_o be_v make_v we_o in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryste_n why_o so_o for_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o be_v indet_v unto_o god_n many_o way_n yea_o infinite_a way_n for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o we_o break_v it_o a_o hundred_o time_n a_o day_n yea_o even_o or_o ever_o we_o think_v of_o it_o again_o we_o offend_v even_o in_o gross_a fault_n but_o howsoever_o we_o deal_v we_o can_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o god_n love_n unless_o we_o be_v discharge_v against_o he_o of_o the_o obligation_n of_o everlasting_a death_n wherein_o we_o stand_v bind_v now_o we_o attain_v that_o benefit_n when_o we_o be_v persuade_v by_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

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

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

why_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v profit_v we_o nothing_o be_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o beguile_v themselves_o in_o devise_v a_o new_a jesus_n christ_n that_o shall_v

of_o his_o only_a son_n rest_v whole_o upon_o the_o sacrifice_n whereby_o he_o have_v redeem_v us._n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n for_o a_o large_a confirmation_n add_v that_o he_o protest_v and_o

half_n it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o mark_v this_o text_n so_o much_o the_o better_a where_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o whosoever_o be_v circumcyse_v be_v a_o debtor_n of_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o that_o sort_n of_o circumcision_n we_o must_v mark_v that_o he_o talk_v not_o according_a to_o god_n first_o institute_v of_o it_o for_o too_o what_o purpose_n do_v god_n give_v it_o untoo_o abraham_n he_o give_v it_o he_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n 11._o and_o so_o do_v he_o himself_o say_v in_o the_o

set_v our_o father_n abraham_n at_o full_a liberty_n why_o then_o do_v he_o take_v it_o because_o god_n give_v it_o he_o as_o a_o record_n and_o sacrament_n of_o his_o free_a goodness_n but_o contrariwise_o those_o against_o who_o saint_n paul_n reason_v take_v circumcision_n as_o a_o meritorious_a work_n and_o think_v thereby_o to_o deserve_v at_o god_n hand_n they_o enter_v intoo_o a_o

must_v not_o bargain_n in_o this_o case_n man_n must_v not_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o can_v partly_o bind_v god_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v of_o right_o be_v in_o their_o debt_n and_o bind_v of_o necessity_n to_o take_v they_o into_o his_o paradise_n for_o do_v this_o or_o that_o for_o he_o no_o no_o say_v saint_n paul_n we_o must_v go_v more_o substantial_o too_o work_v we_o must_v not_o fall_v to_o bargayn_v with_o god_n to_o say_v that_o he_o bind_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o that_o we_o bind_v he_o to_o give_v we_o everlasting_a life_n if_o we_o come_v to_o that_o point_n we_o be_v debtor_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n to_o be_v short_a saint_n paul_n stryve_v here_o against_o the_o divelishe_a error_n that_o reign_v in_o the_o popedom_n they_o

you_o see_v how_o the_o shadow_n and_o figure_n serve_v but_o for_o a_o time_n so_o then_o s._n paul_n declare_v 19_o that_o he_o will_v not_o in_o any_o point_n diminish_v the_o authority_n of_o
