we_o see_v what_o saint_n paul_n discourse_v he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o diversity_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n for_o the_o

in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v oftentimes_o import_v force_n power_n or_o strength_n but_o here_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n make_v comparison_n between_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o angel_n he_o set_v down_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v assemble_v there_o to_o make_v his_o law_n to_o be_v hear_v among_o man_n and_o too_o be_v receyve_v of_o they_o without_o gainsay_v therefore_o they_o be_v

that_o have_v my_o be_v of_o myself_o which_o say_v can_v not_o be_v verify_v of_o any_o creature_n and_o as_o for_o the_o angel_n they_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o as_o well_o as_o we_o then_o have_v it_o be_v high_a treason_n for_o a_o angel_n too_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o title_n that_o agree_v to_o none_o but_o god_n alone_o therefore_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o that_o angel_n be_v jesus_n christ_n 9_o who_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o mediator_n aforehande_v according_o as_o saint_n paul_n treat_v thereof_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o corinthian_n where_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o jew_n rebelliousnesse_n and_o of_o their_o provoke_v of_o god_n to_o displeasure_n by_o their_o murmur_a and_o wicked_a lust_n he_o say_v that_o they_o tempt_v jesus_n christ_n which_o lead_v

to_o god_n his_o father_n after_o diverse_a manner_n and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n say_v that_o the_o same_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v too_o day_n 8_o be_v yesterday_o and_o shall_v be_v still_o tomorrow_o even_o too_o the_o world_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v hold_v themselves_o too_o he_o and_o not_o wander_v any_o more_o in_o strange_a doctrine_n but_o now_o he_o add_v jesus_n christ_n then_o have_v be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o poor_a sinner_n may_v find_v some_o

in_o genesis_n for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jacob_n see_v a_o ladder_n upon_o the_o top_n whereof_o sit_v god_n in_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o angel_n go_v up_o and_o down_o upon_o that_o

have_v take_v upon_o he_o and_o bear_v our_o infirmity_n though_o he_o himself_o be_v without_o spot_n so_o then_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n be_v give_v long_o ago_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o

of_o one_o he_o meen_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v too_o gather_v toogither_o again_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v scatter_v both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n according_o also_o as_o

doubtless_o saint_n paul_n meen_n here_o be_v to_o gather_v again_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n in_o give_v of_o the_o law_n

the_o continual_a mediator_n in_o give_v the_o law_n too_o the_o jew_n have_v therewithal_o a_o commission_n that_o stretch_v yet_o further_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o gather_v and_o knit_v

a_o mutual_a agreement_n &_o melody_n between_o god_n and_o we_o then_o have_v baptism_n the_o effect_n whereof_o s._n paul_n treat_v and_o discourse_v in_o this_o text_n and_o so_o the_o thing_n that_o make_v we_o god_n child_n and_o clothe_v we_o with_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o god_n draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o corruption_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o will_v have_v jesus_n

it_o be_v mean_v condicional_o that_o they_o return_v under_o his_o obeisance_n sure_o this_o say_n may_v seem_v somewhat_o harsh_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n for_o we_o be_v rather_o fashion_v in_o

that_o be_v betwixt_o we_o and_o jesus_n christ_n our_o head_n although_o then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n can_v neither_o increase_v nor_o diminish_v in_o himself_o yet_o do_v he_o take_v all_o our_o

the_o fountain_n that_o have_v all_o fullness_n in_o it_o and_o whereoutof_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o draw_v then_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o so_o do_v he_o

furthermore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n intend_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o we_o but_o that_o he_o and_o we_o be_v all_o one_o he_o say_v that_o

as_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n he_o say_v he_o be_v little_a in_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o little_a knowledge_n of_o he_o which_o we_o have_v and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o proceed_v still_o further_o and_o further_o he_o say_v also_o that_o he_o grow_v and_o be_v increase_v in_o us._n lo_o here_o a_o record_n of_o excellent_a goodness_n yea_o of_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n son_n in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o so_o to_o abase_v himself_o as_o not_o only_o too_o have_v compassion_n and_o pity_n of_o our_o infirmity_n too_o relieve_v they_o and_o remedy_v they_o but_o also_o transform_v himself_o and_o be_v content_v too_o say_v that_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v unperfect_a and_o as_o a_o little_a babe_n and_o that_o he_o grow_v great_a and_o great_a according_a too_o the_o continual_a increase_n of_o our_o faith_n 23_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o in_o another_o place_n saint_n paul_n call_v the_o church_n the_o fullness_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o son_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o sure_o if_o we_o imagine_v that_o god_n be_v not_o thorough_o full_a and_o perfect_a in_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o have_v need_n too_o borrow_v of_o we_o it_o be_v rank_n trayterousnesse_n for_o what_o be_v we_o able_a to_o gyve_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v gather_v we_o all_o before_o he_o what_o can_v he_o find_v in_o we_o but_o utter_a misery_n for_o we_o be_v plunge_v yea_o and_o utter_o sape_v in_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o tell_v we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o we_o be_v his_o accomplishment_n and_o that_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n imperfect_a not_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v without_o us._n for_o he_o have_v be_v always_o everlasting_o before_o he_o have_v create_v the_o world_n and_o although_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n can_v not_o god_n be_v satisfy_v with_o himself_o be_v he_o nor_o scotfree_a enough_o of_o his_o own_o

yet_o for_o all_o that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v untoo_o we_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n and_o be_v conversant_a in_o this_o world_n and_o there_o despize_v yea_o

37._o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o who_o be_v it_o

that_o brag_n of_o their_o own_o free_a will_n virtue_n and_o merit_n
thing_n shall_v go_v to_o havoc_n and_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n than_o to_o abide_v that_o god_n word_n be_v so_o precious_a and_o holy_a a_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v shall_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v pervert_v yea_o it_o be_v better_a that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v be_v confound_v together_o than_o that_o that_o shall_v be_v suffer_v so_o then_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o this_o

then_o be_v there_o none_o other_o shift_n but_o to_o go_v to_o he_o like_o poor_a beggar_n and_o so_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n not_o as_o by_o a_o virtue_n that_o be_v of_o ourselves_o but_o because_o we_o confess_v with_o all_o lowliness_n that_o we_o can_v not_o obtain_v salvation_n but_o by_o his_o free_a gift_n ▪_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n be_v set_v here_o full_o but_o

now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o day_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o night_n but_o we_o see_v the_o wonderful_a order_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n in_o that_o man_n have_v the_o

the_o night_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o contrariety_n betwixt_o they_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o between_o fire_n and_o water_n so_o each_o creature_n be_v put_v to_o his_o own_o proper_a use_n but_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v very_o well_o agree_v the_o fire_n and_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o 〈◊〉_d behold_v they_o fight_v together_o then_o be_v there_o great_a

to_o he_o do_v but_o turmoil_n and_o mingle_v thing_n together_o and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v set_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v

have_v need_n to_o be_v succour_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o a_o man_n consider_v what_o the_o law_n be_v and_o too_o what_o purpose_n it_o be_v give_v he_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o whit_n at_o all_o repugnant_a too_o the_o gospel_n nor_o consequent_o untoo_o faith_n but_o that_o they_o agree_v very_o well_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o difficulty_n be_v

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

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

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

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

that_o we_o be_v as_o monster_n that_o be_v to_o say_v folk_n that_o make_v utter_a defiance_n too_o nature_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o look_v better_o upon_o ourselves_o here_o for_o look_v

if_o a_o man_n trace_v we_o he_o shall_v find_v no_o constancy_n nor_o stedinesse_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o damnable_a and_o can_v shield_v ourselves_o with_o any_o

unto_o he_o see_v he_o yield_v himself_o too_o such_o extremity_n for_o our_o redemption_n if_o we_o can_v taste_v the_o meen_a hereof_o sure_o we_o will_v give_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o the_o

that_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v give_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o in_o to_o diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o

principal_a point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n be_v promise_v not_o only_o to_o abraham_n fleshly_a offspring_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o but_o also_o to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o general_n we_o therefore_o be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v issue_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o be_v heathenfolke_n and_o banish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n although_o then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o of_o that_o holy_a lineage_n which_o god_n have_v choose_v at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v salvation_n to_o be_v extend_v unto_o us._n and_o why_o so_o â–ª_o for_o it_o have_v hin_a promise_v before_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bliss_v see_v it_o be_v so_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o bounteousness_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o say_a lineage_n of_o abraham_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v already_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o time_n convenient_a you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a promise_n unto_o abraham_n be_v not_o for_o his_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fullness_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o seed_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o of_o mo_z than_o one_o but_o of_o one_o only_a seed_n which_o must_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v jesus_n christ_n here_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o saint_n paul_n buzy_v his_o head_n about_o a_o needless_a matter_n for_o the_o word_n seed_n import_v a_o lineage_n or_o offspring_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o some_o one_o man_n or_o ten_o or_o forty_o but_o a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n that_o it_o be_v just_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v twelve_o nation_n for_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o people_n it_o will_v be_v think_v enough_o to_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o they_o together_o and_o there_o be_v many_o mo_z in_o the_o only_a tribe_n of_o juda_n so_o than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o sufficient_o consider_v what_o god_n mean_v by_o the_o word_n seed_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o only_a man_n but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v here_o as_o full_o certain_a and_o resolute_a and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceyve_v his_o argument_n to_o be_v utter_o infallible_a abraham_n have_v not_o one_o son_n alone_o but_o after_o ishmael_n he_o have_v isaac_n also_o and_o what_o become_v of_o his_o elder_a son_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o house_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v within_o a_o while_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v behold_v then_o ishmael_n which_o have_v the_o birthright_n in_o abraham_n house_n be_v nevertheless_o put_v out_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a stranger_n 10._o yea_o and_o as_o a_o rot_a member_n in_o somuch_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o 1._o cast_v out_o the_o son_n of_o the_o handseruante_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o inherit_v in_o my_o house_n afterward_o abraham_n have_v other_o child_n but_o every_o of_o they_o have_v their_o portion_n give_v unto_o they_o and_o be_v send_v away_o 23._o thus_o be_v only_a isaac_n leave_v at_o

preferment_fw-mi be_v likewise_o cast_v off_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o count_v for_o the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n nor_o yet_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_a blessing_n there_o be_v no_o mo_z leave_v but_o jacob_n yea_o and_o although_o the_o father_n bliss_v his_o son_n jacob_n through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n 37_o yet_o he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o revoke_v or_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o

of_o his_o household_n but_o the_o heritage_n be_v take_v quite_o and_o clean_o from_o they_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v consider_v after_o a_o peculiar_a
know_v well_o that_o although_o we_o be_v of_o the_o race_n of_o curse_a adam_n yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v bliss_v again_o in_o jesus_n chryste_n he_o acknowledge_v we_o

you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o can_v enjoy_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o unless_o we_o be_v god_n child_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o four_o too_o the_o roman_n

see_v that_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v bruck_v of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o wicked_a sort_n do_v rage_n against_o it_o they_o i_o say_v will_v fain_o

some_o little_a understanding_n you_o shall_v scarce_o find_v one_o of_o they_o among_o a_o hundred_o which_o will_v not_o grant_n that_o there_o be_v many_o abuse_n in_o popery_n but_o yet_o they_o will_v say_v that_o all_o must_v not_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o quick_a but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o some_o of_o the_o overgrosse_v and_o excessive_a superstition_n be_v take_v away_o and_o

to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n it_o be_v as_o the_o scripture_n term_v it_o a_o wall_n betwixt_o they_o too_o fence_n in_o the_o jew_n as_o the_o people_n

mark_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o we_o can_v bring_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o wherewith_o to_o purchase_v favour_n before_o god_n all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v be_v but_o simple_o to_o

say_v we_o recover_v it_o by_o seek_v it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o than_o if_o we_o say_v yea_o but_o we_o be_v weak_a and_o rude_a we_o can_v mount_v so_o high_a as_o too_o the_o secret_n of_o heaven_n let_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o baptism_n that_o be_v give_v we_o as_o though_o god_n reach_v out_o his_o hand_n too_o us._n there_o he_o show_v we_o to_o eyesight_n after_o what_o manner_n he_o pluck_v we_o out_o of_o the_o curse_n wherein_o we_o be_v plundged_a and_o cover_v we_o with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o our_o misdeed_n shall_v

but_o find_v favour_n at_o his_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o on_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o that_o fountain_n and_o yield_v the_o whole_a praise_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o the_o work_v of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n give_v we_o baptism_n as_o a_o help_n of_o our_o rudeness_n and_o infirmity_n see_v we_o have_v all_o this_o what_o seek_v we_o any_o more_o be_v it_o not_o a_o wilful_a rob_n of_o god_n if_o we_o will_v needs_o have_v other_o help_n and_o put_v too_o other_o opinion_n and_o fancy_n as_o they_o come_v in_o our_o head_n whereto_o serve_v all_o this_o but_o such_o mingling_n be_v devilish_a corruption_n therefore_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v so_o unite_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o none_o of_o we_o must_v advance_v himself_o as_o though_o he_o be_v better_a worth_n than_o his_o fellow_n but_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o beholden_a too_o god_n mere_a grace_n for_o all_o thing_n and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v indever_n the_o

the_o invention_n and_o device_n that_o can_v come_v in_o their_o own_o brain_n yet_o not_o withstand_v s._n paul_n mean_v not_o too_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o diversity_n of_o degree_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o worldly_a policy_n for_o we_o know_v there_o be_v master_n and_o servant_n magistrate_n and_o subject_n in_o a_o household_n there_o be_v the_o good_a man_n which_o be_v the_o head_n and_o the_o good_a wife_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v subject_a we_o know_v then_o that_o this_o order_n be_v inviolable_a and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o come_v into_o the_o

servant_n man_n nor_o woman_n he_o meen_v that_o too_o be_v sure_a of_o their_o salvation_n man_n must_v not_o set_v up_o their_o tail_n like_o peacock_n and_o stand_v gaze_v upon_o their_o own_o

we_o will_v not_o go_v about_o to_o add_v aught_o to_o the_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v purchace_v for_o we_o and_o which_o he_o offer_v we_o daily_o by_o his_o gospel_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o it_o and_o enjoy_v it_o too_o our_o salvation_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o must_v keep_v the_o civil_a order_n of_o this_o world_n let_v such_o as_o be_v great_a man_n and_o man_n of_o authority_n above_o other_o know_v that_o god_n intend_v too_o be_v serve_v by_o they_o in_o that_o state_n as_o for_o example_n let_v the_o
