such_o a_o christian_a life_n as_o be_v perfect_a in_o all_o his_o part_n together_o faith_n and_o charity_n must_v go_v together_o unless_o we_o apply_v our_o study_n to_o follow_v faith_n and_o charity_n together_o for_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o hope_n because_o many_o who_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n be_v distract_v with_o diverse_a opinion_n or_o else_o be_v enwrap_v with_o many_o superstition_n he_o require_v that_o they_o be_v so_o settle_v in_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n that_o they_o now_o waver_v no_o more_o nor_o remain_v in_o suspense_n carry_v about_o as_o they_o have_v be_v wont_a with_o every_o new_a invention_n of_o man_n brain_n now_o this_o commandment_n belong_v to_o we_o all_o for_o as_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v sure_a and_o stable_a in_o itself_o so_o also_o be_v it_o require_v that_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v build_v and_o rest_v itself_o thereupon_o be_v true_a certain_a and_o surmount_v all_o doubt_n see_v here_o then_o what_o this_o greek_a word_n plerophoria_fw-la import_v plerophoria_fw-la plerophoria_fw-la to_o wit_n a_o assure_a persuasion_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o every_o faithful_a man_n conclude_v and_o resolve_v in_o itself_o that_o it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a to_o call_v into_o doubt_n or_o question_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n that_o can_v lie_v nor_o deceive_v have_v once_o pronounce_v pronounce_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v pronounce_v hope_v be_v here_o take_v for_o faith_n because_o of_o the_o affinity_n which_o be_v between_o they_o notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v the_o apostle_n do_v express_o place_v it_o here_o because_o he_o speak_v of_o perscuerance_n we_o may_v also_o gather_v from_o hence_o how_o far_o faith_n be_v off_o from_o that_o general_a apprehension_n which_o be_v common_a both_o to_o the_o wicked_a and_o even_o to_o the_o devil_n themselves_o apprehension_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o true_a faith_n and_o a_o general_a apprehension_n for_o they_o also_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o true_a but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o from_o hence_o they_o conceive_v no_o good_a hope_n at_o all_o because_o they_o do_v not_o therewithal_o apprehend_v the_o fatherly_a goodness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n let_v we_o know_v then_o that_o true_a faith_n be_v always_o couple_v with_o hope_n he_o say_v to_o the_o end_n or_o even_o unto_o perfection_n because_o they_o may_v know_v they_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v thereunto_o and_o therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v bethink_v themselves_o to_o profit_n in_o faith_n more_o and_o more_o he_o use_v this_o word_n care_n or_o diligence_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o nuzzle_v themselves_o up_o still_o in_o carelessness_n but_o to_o bend_v themselves_o courageous_o to_o travail_v towards_o this_o assurance_n in_o good_a earnest_n for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o ascend_v above_o the_o heaven_n especial_o such_o as_o we_o be_v who_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o creep_v upon_o the_o ground_n and_o withal_o that_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o leap_v over_o so_o many_o stumble_a block_n of_o offence_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n more_o difficult_a than_o to_o hold_v our_o meditation_n in_o heaven_n and_o upon_o heavenly_a thing_n because_o all_o the_o whole_a strength_n of_o our_o nature_n bend_v downward_o satan_n also_o be_v not_o want_v to_o draw_v our_o mind_n towards_o the_o earth_n and_o earthly_a thing_n by_o infinite_a device_n for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n command_v we_o to_o fly_v all_o carelessness_n and_o sluggishness_n of_o heart_n but_o that_o you_o follow_v those_o who_o by_o faith_n and_o patience_n verse_n 12_o against_o this_o lasines_n he_o put_v this_o study_n of_o follow_v and_o imitation_n it_o be_v as_o much_o then_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v it_o behoove_v you_o to_o have_v a_o cheerfulness_n of_o heart_n in_o persevere_v but_o this_o yet_o have_v great_a weight_n when_o he_o advertise_v they_o that_o the_o father_n themselves_o do_v not_o obtain_v the_o promise_n but_o with_o a_o invincible_a strength_n of_o faith_n for_o example_n do_v represent_v the_o matter_n unto_o we_o with_o the_o great_a livelines_n if_o the_o doctrine_n shall_v only_o be_v propose_v simple_o and_o plain_o it_o will_v not_o move_v we_o so_o much_o as_o when_o we_o see_v that_o that_o which_o be_v require_v of_o we_o be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o person_n of_o abraham_n now_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n be_v bring_v in_o not_o because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o but_o because_o his_o example_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a above_o all_o other_o for_o abraham_n have_v this_o in_o common_a with_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o believe_v but_o it_o be_v not_o without_o great_a cause_n that_o he_o be_v establish_v and_o call_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a no_o marvel_v therefore_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v make_v special_a choice_n of_o he_o among_o other_o as_o of_o he_o unto_o who_o he_o will_v all_o man_n shall_v look_v as_o oft_o as_o they_o will_v find_v a_o clear_a mirror_n of_o faith_n he_o say_v faith_n and_o patience_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v a_o constant_a faith_n which_o have_v also_o patience_n join_v therewith_o for_o faith_n be_v first_o require_v but_o because_o many_o who_o at_o the_o beginning_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v a_o admirable_a faith_n have_v yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o and_o by_o waxen_a careless_a patience_n be_v a_o true_a approbation_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o vain_a nor_o such_o as_o will_v vanish_v with_o the_o time_n when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o obtain_v &_o receive_v the_o promise_n by_o faith_n he_o beat_v down_o the_o opinion_n of_o by_o his_o own_o name_n this_o you_o see_v be_v the_o principal_a thing_n now_o in_o hand_n but_o we_o be_v here_o to_o note_v two_o thing_n by_o the_o way_n first_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v require_v to_o swear_v second_o that_o a_o oath_n be_v permit_v unto_o christian_n because_o it_o be_v a_o lawful_a remedy_n to_o appease_v contention_n god_n do_v express_o charge_v we_o that_o we_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n and_o if_o we_o mingle_v any_o other_o with_o he_o he_o protest_v that_o it_o be_v a_o profanation_n of_o a_o oath_n now_o there_o be_v three_o special_a reason_n of_o this_o for_o when_o we_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o mean_n to_o bring_v the_o truth_n to_o light_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o have_v recourse_n to_o any_o other_o than_o to_o god_n who_o be_v himself_o the_o eternal_a truth_n second_o because_o it_o be_v he_o who_o know_v the_o heart_n jerem._n 17.10_o his_o office_n be_v pluck_v from_o he_o when_o any_o other_o be_v call_v to_o be_v a_o judge_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n three_o because_o that_o not_o only_o in_o swear_v we_o call_v he_o to_o witness_v but_o we_o also_o mean_v thereby_o that_o he_o shall_v show_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o the_o party_n perjure_a if_o we_o speak_v and_o swear_v false_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o if_o he_o be_v so_o severe_o angry_a against_o they_o which_o swear_v by_o another_o name_n for_o it_o be_v to_o take_v away_o from_o he_o so_o much_o of_o his_o honour_n now_o whereas_o the_o scripture_n do_v sometime_o use_v other_o form_n of_o swear_v that_o do_v not_o cross_v this_o doctrine_n for_o the_o faithful_a do_v not_o swear_v by_o the_o heaven_n or_o by_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o they_o do_v attribute_v any_o divinity_n unto_o they_o but_o by_o such_o indirect_a oath_n they_o have_v respect_n to_o god_n only_o for_o there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n of_o oath_n the_o first_o and_o the_o chief_a be_v this_o when_o we_o call_v god_n for_o judge_v and_o do_v direct_o make_v our_o appeal_n unto_o his_o judgement_n seat_n the_o second_o be_v when_o we_o name_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o love_v great_o as_o our_o life_n our_o head_n or_o some_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n the_o three_o when_o we_o take_v the_o creature_n to_o witness_v in_o god_n presence_n but_o in_o all_o these_o to_o speak_v proper_o we_o swear_v by_o none_o other_o than_o by_o god_n wherefore_o they_o who_o contend_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o join_v the_o saint_n that_o be_v dead_a as_o companion_n with_o god_n and_o that_o the_o right_n of_o punish_v shall_v be_v attribute_v unto_o they_o such_o do_v no_o less_o show_v their_o malice_n than_o their_o beastliness_n beside_o this_o this_o place_n as_o have_v be_v say_v teach_v oath_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o take_v a_o oath_n that_o there_o be_v a_o lawful_a use_n of_o a_o oath_n among_o christian_n the_o which_o we_o be_v to_o note_v well_o against_o those_o giddy_a
