therefore_o conceive_v no_o need_n of_o repentance_n and_o redemption_n by_o a_o other_o saviour_n thus_o he_o general_o affirm_v of_o the_o jew_n who_o ear_n and_o heart_n be_v by_o custom_n grow_v

and_o this_o be_v that_o obstinate_a opposition_n of_o some_o against_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o man_n salvation_n that_o cause_v not_o only_o the_o prophet_n to_o mourn_v but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o sit_v down_o and_o to_o weep_v over_o jerusalem_n when_o he_o see_v that_o she_o will_v not_o be_v gather_v to_o her_o redeemet_n as_o if_o christ_n shall_v have_v say_v as_o god_n by_o

upon_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n we_o be_v in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o look_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o these_o his_o labour_n and_o husbandry_n bestow_v on_o his_o church_n &_o that_o be_v the_o same_o which_o every_o man_n which_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n do_v expect_v of_o his_o plant_n fruit_n i_o look_v for_o grape_n fruit_n natural_a and_o proper_a to_o a_o vine_n proper_a to_o a_o christian_n that_o receive_v the_o nature_n the_o sap_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o root_n christ_n why_o the_o good_a work_n and_o fruit_n of_o christian_n be_v compare_v to_o grape_n and_o

imitate_v the_o bounty_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o to_o yield_v something_o from_o itself_o to_o the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o other_o and_o this_o be_v their_o natural_a work_n thus_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n as_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o light_n &_o virtue_n so_o they_o restles_o move_v to_o impart_v their_o light_n and_o influence_n to_o the_o enlighten_v

suck_n her_o breast_n and_o hang_v on_o she_o for_o maintenance_n as_o on_o their_o common_a mother_n and_o not_o to_o depart_v from_o our_o parable_n thus_o do_v all_o fruitbearing_a tree_n spend_v themselves_o and_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o their_o sap_n and_o moisture_n not_o on_o the_o increase_n of_o themselves_o but_o in_o make_v some_o pleasant_a fruit_n or_o berry_n of_o which_o

how_o can_v it_o be_v allowable_a that_o when_o all_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o creator_n with_o the_o creature_n be_v thus_o busy_v in_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n only_a man_n

to_o christ_n and_o to_o his_o church_n they_o starve_v his_o body_n and_o purloin_v from_o their_o fellow_n member_n those_o good_a thing_n which_o the_o merciful_a head_n have_v so_o intend_v by_o

of_o man_n a_o vain_a shift_n which_o much_o hinder_v his_o fruitfulness_n and_o make_v he_o draw_v in_o all_o to_o himself_o and_o recall_v his_o sap_n from_o the_o fruit_n into_o the_o root_n again_o and_o that_o be_v a_o false_a reason_n with_o himself_o that_o because_o do_v he_o the_o best_a he_o can_v yet_o his_o fruit_n will_v be_v earthly_a and_o sour_a and_o never_o perfect_v and_o

such_o unperfect_a fruit_n so_o helpless_a in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o salvation_n thus_o do_v iniquity_n lie_v unto_o herself_o and_o turn_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o a_o lie_n for_o though_o those_o three_o promise_n be_v all_o true_a yet_o the_o conclusion_n we_o infer_v upon_o they_o be_v altogether_o uncoherent_a true_a it_o be_v that_o though_o we_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o eternal_a vine_n christ_n yet_o we_o retain_v something_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o old_a stock_n whence_o we_o be_v take_v which_o give_v to_o our_o best_a fruit_n a_o earthly_a taste_n and_o some_o relish_n of_o the_o old_a man_n true_a it_o be_v that_o though_o we_o be_v plant_v with_o the_o best_a heavenly_a plant_n of_o piety_n yet_o they_o grow_v in_o a_o foreign_a soil_n and_o in_o a_o cold_a clime_n far_o from_o the_o sun_n and_o our_o fruit_n be_v not_o concoct_v and_o perfect_a even_o our_o most_o spiritual_a fruit_n our_o prayer_n have_v not_o a_o please_a taste_n unless_o they_o have_v some_o sweeten_v but_o this_o defect_n be_v supply_v by_o the_o great_a angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n who_o when_o he_o present_v these_o our_o fruit_n to_o god_n the_o great_a husbandman_n add_v to_o they_o of_o his_o own_o precious_a incense_n which_o help_v their_o infirmity_n and_o harshness_n and_o make_v they_o acceptable_a renel_n 8.4_o again_o true_a it_o be_v that_o these_o our_o fruit_n be_v they_o never_o so_o abundant_a and_o as_o excellent_a as_o man_v perfect_o restore_v perfection_n can_v afford_v yet_o can_v they_o not_o merit_v those_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n and_o the_o eternity_n of_o that_o glory_n but_o
same_o kingdom_n though_o he_o be_v go_v first_o through_o god_n mercy_n you_o shall_v shine_v as_o star_n together_o and_o therefore_o see_v good_a my_o lord_n he_o sleep_v but_o you_o be_v wake_v he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o you_o on_o earth_n what_o part_n or_o parcel_n of_o his_o writing_n can_v challenge_v as_o of_o right_a protection_n from_o any_o man_n that_o live_v save_v only_o yourself_o who_o have_v so_o true_o love_v he_o in_o his_o life_n and_o so_o redouble_v your_o affection_n upon_o he_o in_o he_o since_o his_o death_n which_o his_o religious_a constant_a and_o true_o sorrowful_a widow_n with_o her_o fatherless_a child_n do_v find_v and_o free_o confess_v pour_v out_o incessant_a prayer_n to_o almighty_a god_n for_o you_o and_o you_o and_o how_o can_v you_o want_v the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n which_o have_v the_o widow_n and_o fatherless_a to_o intercede_v for_o you_o upon_o earth_n oh_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v of_o your_o lordship_n concern_v this_o

of_o this_o the_o live_a image_n of_o his_o soul_n the_o first_o fruit_n of_o his_o publish_a labour_n that_o you_o be_v a_o reverend_a father_n of_o the_o church_n will_v give_v it_o your_o
