but_o think_v with_o yourselves_o do_v you_o think_v he_o less_o pity_v the_o disease_n of_o the_o soul_n than_o he_o do_v the_o disease_n of_o the_o body_n do_v you_o think_v that_o he_o have_v

to_o heal_v the_o run_a sore_n that_o be_v on_o thy_o soul_n as_o he_o do_v on_o earth_n to_o heal_v bodily_a disease_n my_o brethren_n if_o you_o do_v but_o seek_v to_o he_o if_o you_o can_v get_v

that_o be_v able_a to_o calm_v the_o sea_n and_o that_o have_v the_o strong_a wind_n in_o his_o power_n be_v he_o not_o able_a to_o dissolve_v a_o strong_a inordinate_a apprehension_n a_o strong_a

have_v upon_o physician_n and_o can_v do_v herself_o no_o good_a by_o all_o yet_o when_o she_o come_v to_o christ_n once_o you_o see_v it_o be_v do_v in_o a_o instant_n so_o i_o say_v a_o strong_a

yet_o if_o thou_o can_v come_v in_o this_o manner_n to_o he_o and_o contend_v with_o he_o and_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n and_o never_o give_v over_o till_o thou_o have_v awake_v he_o certain_o he_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o will_v change_v and_o renew_v thy_o heart_n he_o will_v set_v thou_o at_o full_a liberty_n this_o he_o have_v confirm_v with_o a_o oath_n and_o

leave_v therefore_o we_o never_o find_v a_o oath_n to_o the_o old_a covenant_n but_o he_o have_v swear_v to_o perform_v the_o new_a covenant_n and_o you_o know_v this_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n to_o give_v a_o new_a heart_n to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o new_a creature_n therefore_o where_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v make_v there_o this_o be_v repeat_v in_o jer._n 31._o and_o heb._n 8._o i_o will_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o my_o people_n and_o what_o be_v that_o i_o will_v put_v my_o law_n into_o their_o mind_n and_o in_o their_o heart_n will_v i_o write_v they_o that_o be_v i_o will_v make_v they_o new_a creature_n therefore_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o much_o use_n to_o you_o if_o you_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o labour_n to_o have_v this_o do_v

of_o this_o that_o we_o see_v we_o be_v make_v new_a creature_n this_o be_v all_o the_o miracle_n that_o we_o have_v nay_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v more_o it_o be_v the_o great_a miracle_n that_o they_o have_v in_o that_o time_n when_o all_o the_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o paul_n give_v this_o as_o the_o main_a argument_n among_o the_o rest_n

25.6_o open_v the_o meaning_n be_v this_o when_o you_o come_v to_o christ_n to_o renew_v your_o communion_n and_o your_o covenant_n with_o he_o which_o be_v do_v through_o faith_n and_o prayer_n you_o

shall_v renew_v this_o covenant_n especial_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n as_o jonathan_n and_o david_n they_o renew_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n again_o that_o be_v between_o they_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o new_a solemnity_n of_o marriage_n if_o it_o be_v often_o to_o be_v renew_a to_o make_v the_o party_n join_v more_o unite_v make_v no_o question_n of_o it_o we_o shall_v

for_o his_o glory_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o glory_n then_o certain_o the_o power_n of_o god_n must_v not_o be_v bring_v down_o for_o the_o work_n of_o it_o and_o as_o it_o be_v against_o his_o glory_n so_o it_o be_v against_o his_o wisdom_n for_o the_o lord_n do_v nothing_o to_o no_o purpose_n he_o do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a he_o never_o wrought_v miracle_n when_o they_o may_v be_v spare_v where_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v without_o a_o miracle_n since_o this_o may_v be_v do_v without_o a_o miracle_n all_o that_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n all_o that_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o sacrament_n what_o necessity_n be_v there_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n it_o beseem_v not_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o do_v it_o again_o will_v not_o the_o small_a miracle_n real_o and_o visible_o expose_v to_o sense_n help_v more_o than_o such_o a_o miracle_n as_o this_o beside_o all_o this_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a make_v your_o own_o sense_n judge_n you_o see_v nothing_o but_o bread_n now_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n that_o of_o all_o demonstration_n of_o reason_n that_o we_o have_v to_o prove_v thing_n nothing_o be_v so_o firm_a as_o that_o which_o be_v take_v from_o sense_n to_o prove_v the_o fire_n be_v hot_a we_o feel_v it_o hot_a or_o honey_n to_o be_v sweet_a when_o we_o taste_v it_o to_o be_v sweet_a there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n make_v it_o so_o firm_a as_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v true_a in_o these_o case_n so_o it_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n in_o divinity_n that_o in_o all_o matter_n of_o sense_n sense_n be_v a_o competent_a judge_n indeed_o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o reason_n there_o sense_n be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v the_o eye_n be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o his_o own_o sense_n of_o sound_n it_o can_v judge_v but_o i_o say_v object_n proper_a to_o sense_n peculiar_a to_o sense_n in_o these_o sense_n be_v a_o competent_a judge_n and_o therefore_o christ_n himself_o in_o this_o very_a business_n when_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v a_o true_a body_n he_o send_v they_o to_o their_o sense_n a_o spirit_n have_v not_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o you_o see_v i_o have_v and_o thomas_n he_o bid_v put_v thy_o hand_n into_o my_o side_n and_o feel_v etc._n etc._n he_o send_v they_o to_o their_o sense_n look_v through_o the_o scripture_n and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v one_o miracle_n there_o if_o sense_n be_v not_o a_o competent_a judge_n according_a to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o miracle_n that_o concern_v the_o sense_n will_v you_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a if_o christ_n shall_v have_v come_v to_o the_o master_n of_o the_o feast_n when_o he_o wrought_v the_o miracle_n and_o have_v say_v sir_n you_o must_v believe_v that_o this_o be_v wine_n though_o you_o see_v nothing_o though_o you_o taste_v nothing_o but_o water_n yet_o you_o must_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v turn_v into_o wine_n and_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v say_v unto_o moses_n though_o you_o see_v nothing_o but_o a_o rod_n thou_o must_v believe_v it_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o serpent_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o change_n indeed_o and_o such_o as_o sense_n may_v see_v we_o will_v think_v it_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n and_o next_o door_n to_o a_o imposture_n and_o therefore_o certain_o in_o matter_n of_o sense_n sense_n be_v a_o competent_a judge_n and_o therefore_o when_o all_o the_o sense_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v bread_n when_o we_o taste_v when_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o touch_n when_o every_o thing_n make_v it_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v bread_n why_o shall_v we_o say_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o bread_n beside_o if_o we_o will_v add_v to_o sense_n reason_n it_o be_v against_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o against_o sense_n it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o christ_n shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n and_o yet_o have_v ten_o thousand_o body_n on_o earth_n and_o yet_o christ_n have_v but_o one_o body_n and_o a_o body_n can_v be_v but_o in_o one_o place_n and_o again_o this_o body_n must_v be_v without_o all_o circumscription_n and_o quality_n and_o property_n of_o a_o body_n and_o again_o that_o the_o bread_n that_o we_o see_v shall_v be_v no_o bread_n say_v they_o there_o be_v the_o whiteness_n of_o bread_n there_o be_v the_o taste_n of_o bread_n there_o be_v the_o quantity_n of_o bread_n and_o that_o be_v all_o i_o will_v but_o ask_v they_o one_o thing_n when_o this_o bread_n be_v eat_v since_o there_o be_v nothing_o there_o but_o these_o accident_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o mere_a quantity_n and_o the_o like_a i_o will_v ask_v whether_o it_o nourish_v the_o body_n or_o no_o they_o must_v needs_o answer_v no_o if_o they_o follow_v their_o principle_n because_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o there_o they_o say_v it_o be_v remove_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o bread_n be_v destroy_v when_o it_o begin_v to_o turn_v into_o flesh_n it_o lose_v these_o accident_n well_o the_o bread_n return_v not_o again_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o accident_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o yet_o certain_o it_o do_v nourish_v for_o it_o be_v report_v by_o credible_a author_n that_o some_o have_v be_v so_o holy_a that_o they_o will_v feed_v upon_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o eucharist_n for_o a_o priest_n may_v consecrate_v a_o cellar_n of_o wine_n and_o as_o much_o bread_n as_o he_o will_v and_o may_v feed_v upon_o this_o and_o with_o these_o he_o may_v be_v nourish_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o accident_n of_o bread_n in_o a_o word_n the_o school_n that_o traverse_v this_o so_o accute_o be_v

you_o will_v say_v faith_n be_v beyond_o sense_n and_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v beyond_o both_o but_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o both_o faith_n teach_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o

so_o as_o to_o desire_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n so_o much_o as_o communion_n with_o he_o thus_o it_o be_v when_o his_o image_n be_v renew_v in_o knowledge_n and_o truth_n and_o where_o this_o

this_o image_n be_v what_o ever_o they_o know_v they_o practice_n well_o let_v we_o apply_v this_o unto_o ourselves_o brief_o if_o to_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n use_v there_o be_v require_v of_o we_o this_o faith_n and_o love_n truth_n and_o holiness_n knowledge_n and_o righteousness_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v deceive_v to_o regard_v nothing_o else_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o do_v as_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 6.15_o for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n that_o be_v it_o be_v no_o matter_n for_o any_o thing_n in_o a_o man_n circumcision_n be_v no_o better_a than_o uncircumcision_n go_v through_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o nothing_o till_o you_o be_v make_v a_o new_a creature_n i_o know_v many_o do_v many_o thing_n they_o come_v to_o church_n and_o give_v alm_n well_o say_v the_o apostle_n circumcision_n and_o uncircumcision_n be_v all_o one_o so_o say_v i_o prayer_n and_o no_o prayer_n be_v all_o one_o do_v just_o and_o unjust_o it_o be_v all_o one_o until_o a_o man_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n therefore_o say_v paul_n 1_o cor._n 13.3_o though_o i_o give_v all_o my_o good_n to_o the_o poor_a which_o be_v a_o glorious_a action_n nay_o though_o i_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v a_o martyr_n though_o i_o give_v my_o body_n to_o be_v

must_v be_v till_v and_o there_o must_v be_v seed_n put_v in_o nature_n i_o say_v may_v do_v much_o but_o this_o new_a creature_n must_v come_v from_o a_o immortal_a seed_n sow_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o god_n himself_o therefore_o look_v whether_o thou_o have_v that_o wrought_v in_o thou_o or_o no._n for_o this_o be_v all_o the_o comfort_n we_o have_v when_o the_o body_n be_v decay_v and_o

that_o when_o the_o old_a house_n be_v go_v down_o we_o have_v a_o new_a house_n set_v up_o in_o stead_n of_o it_o every_o man_n be_v glad_a to_o see_v a_o old_a house_n pull_v down_o and_o a_o new_a

the_o comfort_n we_o have_v in_o these_o day_n of_o our_o vanity_n be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o new_a creature_n that_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o vanity_n the_o end_n of_o the_o three_o sermon_n the_o four_o sermon_n upon_o the_o new_a creature_n 2_o cor._n 5.17_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n let_v he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o new_a creature_n man_n which_o be_v that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o infusion_n of_o a_o new_a quality_n but_o a_o weaken_n of_o the_o old_a therefore_o we_o put_v that_o into_o the_o description_n a_o man_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v cast_v into_o another_o mould_n by_o the_o infusion_n of_o a_o new_a quality_n of_o grace_n and_o by_o a_o

vivification_n for_o common_a nature_n be_v like_o a_o bowl_n between_o two_o byass_n corruption_n be_v the_o wrong_a bias_n carry_v we_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o grace_v the_o good_a bias_n carry_v we_o into_o the_o way_n so_o you_o must_v knock_v off_o the_o old_a bias_n as_o well_o as_o put_v on_o a_o new_a one_o that_o be_v common_a nature_n lie_v as_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n between_o grace_n and_o sin_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n corruption_n and_o holiness_n so_o that_o as_o the_o body_n be_v between_o health_n and_o sickness_n so_o be_v common_a nature_n between_o original_a sin_n which_o be_v as_o the_o sickness_n or_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o holiness_n which_o be_v the_o health_n of_o it_o now_o it_o be_v not_o only_o require_v that_o there_o be_v a_o infusion_n of_o the_o new_a quality_n but_o likewise_o a_o weaken_n of_o this_o old_a both_o can_v stand_v together_o so_o far_o as_o you_o strengthen_v one_o the_o other_o be_v

hence_o then_o you_o see_v this_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o you_o find_v much_o newness_n in_o yourselves_o according_a to_o your_o own_o opinion_n you_o find_v you_o can_v do_v many_o thing_n you_o can_v never_o do_v before_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v these_o and_o these_o duty_n of_o new_a obedience_n well_o suppose_v it_o yet_o except_o there_o be_v a_o mortification_n of_o the_o old_a

be_v it_o be_v no_o matter_n it_o be_v certain_a thou_o be_v not_o yet_o a_o new_a creature_n for_o a_o new_a creature_n consist_v not_o in_o superinduction_n of_o the_o new_a quality_n the_o old_a

corruption_n continue_v in_o the_o fullness_n of_o their_o first_o strength_n not_o weaken_v at_o all_o though_o thou_o have_v all_o sign_n of_o grace_n all_o part_n of_o a_o new_a creature_n to_o thy_o seem_n yet_o thou_o be_v deceive_v because_o if_o thou_o be_v new_a there_o will_v be_v a_o mortification_n of_o the_o old_a lust_n so_o again_o it_o be_v true_a on_o the_o other_o side_n put_v

say_v tell_v we_o in_o plain_a term_n what_o this_o clothing_n be_v this_o white_a array_n partly_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o dignity_n which_o you_o have_v by_o christ_n as_o king_n in_o ancient_a

as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v so_o unequal_o so_o unreverent_o clad_v it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o bounty_n but_o not_o of_o chastity_n it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o
