his_o father_n and_o we_o know_v what_o saint_n john_n say_v 23._o that_o he_o which_o deny_v the_o son_n he_o deny_v the_o father_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o god_n but_o a_o idol_n as_o much_o

that_o they_o can_v not_o excuse_v themselves_o as_o the_o wretched_a paynim_n say_v that_o they_o have_v hear_v nothing_o
as_o it_o be_v requisite_a we_o shall_v then_o be_v accurse_v and_o condemn_v when_o god_n shall_v judge_v we_o in_o any_o rigour_n and_o severity_n so_o then_o man_n must_v not_o here_o vaunt_v

that_o they_o be_v as_o steward_n and_o dispenser_n of_o the_o treasure_n of_o salvation_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o god_n and_o that_o this_o office_n be_v give_v unto_o they_o always_o to_o declare_v the_o will_n of_o god_o and_o to_o preach_v it_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o name_n and_o this_o be_v the_o general_a rule_n which_o saint_n paul_n have_v deliver_v 1._o that_o man_n ought_v to_o esteem_v we_o as_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o dispenser_n of_o the_o secret_n which_o he_o have_v send_v the_o world_n now_o when_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v disposer_n of_o the_o

require_v that_o it_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o retain_v among_o we_o this_o order_n to_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n that_o there_o be_v pastor_n and_o teacher_n who_o ministry_n god_n use_v to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o shall_v hear_v they_o we_o may_v profit_v more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n in_o a_o other_o place_n say_v 1â—_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o safeguard_n and_o tower_n thereof_o the_o papist_n allege_v this_o

have_v understand_v the_o clean_a contrary_n he_o say_v therefore_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n and_o sure_a prop_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n because_o that_o when_o god_o publish_v his_o truth_n unto_o man_n by_o the_o law_n by_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n he_o will_v that_o this_o ministry_n shall_v endure_v and_o be_v perpetual_a that_o be_v that_o there_o shall_v

mean_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o truth_n remain_v in_o his_o perfect_a and_o entire_a estate_n for_o when_o god_o raise_v up_o man_n which_o be_v endue_v with_o his_o spirit_n to_o confirm_v

consider_v of_o our_o own_o frailty_n and_o weakness_n we_o will_v soon_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o god_n to_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o majesty_n and_o power_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o altogether_o overwhelm_v and_o confound_v we_o therefore_o when_o man_n desire_v that_o god_o will_v manifest_o show_v himself_o with_o some_o visible_a sign_n or_o that_o he_o will_v

this_o as_o well_o unto_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o must_v take_v this_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o feel_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v we_o see_v how_o the_o angel_n hide_v their_o eye_n because_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v great_a than_o they_o can_v bear_v and_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v

thing_n which_o make_v our_o infirmity_n the_o great_a namely_o that_o we_o retain_v not_o that_o integrity_n and_o innocence_n of_o our_o first_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o such_o as_o god_n create_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v earthly_a man_n only_o as_o be_v our_o father_n adam_n but_o we_o be_v altogether_o corrupt_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o god_n be_v make_v our_o enemy_n and_o that_o we_o fly_v from_o his_o throne_n as_o malefactor_n will_v keep_v themselves_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v from_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o their_o judge_n brief_o we_o be_v poor_a miserable_a worm_n and_o stink_a carrion_n so_o then_o as_o soon_o as_o god_o shall_v approach_v and_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v fright_v with_o so_o great_a a_o fear_n as_o to_o be_v beat_v therewith_o down_o to_o the_o ground_n therefore_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o that_o god_n

in_o comparison_n of_o the_o gospel_n fright_v and_o fray_v we_o with_o a_o wonderful_a fear_n and_o why_o be_v this_o because_o that_o in_o the_o law_n god_n require_v of_o man_n that_o which_o be_v
