that_o these_o thing_n may_v somewhat_o more_o easy_o be_v understand_v i_o will_v join_v hereunto_o a_o similitude_n which_o the_o catholic_n divine_v in_o the_o old_a church_n have_v use_v man_z

wherewith_o we_o be_v oppress_v john_n baptist_n preach_v joh._n 1_o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v this_o jesus_n will_v

of_o john_n concern_v christ_n i_o will_v here_o under_o set_v down_o the_o question_n which_o the_o word_n themselves_o do_v minister_v first_o why_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o lamb_n and_o wherefore_o

first_o be_v that_o john_n may_v put_v the_o jew_n and_o we_o in_o mind_n of_o both_o these_o thing_n namely_o of_o the_o shadow_n which_o go_v before_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o john_n

never_o sin_v or_o offend_v god_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v feel_v a_o true_a grief_n &_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o our_o sin_n commit_v he_o which_o be_v go_v so_o far_o forward_o he_o at_o the_o length_n right_o acknowledge_v how_o joyful_a that_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v which_o offer_v to_o the_o believer_n remission_n of_o sin_n the_o favour_n of_o god_n righteousness_n and_o life_n everlasting_a but_o what_o be_v faith_n these_o two_o manner_n of_o speak_v namely_o to_o beeleeve_v in_o christ_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n will_v plain_o declare_v unto_o we_o the_o substance_n of_o faith_n the_o former_a sentence_n namely_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n show_v christ_n only_o to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n or_o sure_a confidence_n so_o that_o salvation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v hope_v for_o but_o in_o he_o alone_o the_o latter_a namely_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n show_v the_o quality_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o

be_v in_o the_o gospel_n name_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o which_o believe_v in_o he_o very_a god_n very_a man_n one_o true_a and_o eternal_a person_n and_o the_o lamb_n of_o god_n take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o many_o example_n do_v testify_v that_o the_o doing_n of_o christ_n do_v answer_n unto_o this_o honourable_a name_n as_o the_o example_n of_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o

of_o the_o heart_n whereby_o it_o be_v sure_o decree_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o those_o which_o believe_v in_o he_o as_o he_o which_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v to_o pass_v all_o

of_o a_o constant_a faith_n may_v be_v draw_v more_o narowe_n and_o that_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o john_n baptist_n he_o which_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n have_v eternal_a life_n in_o this_o

the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n the_o first_o property_n of_o faith_n be_v this_o that_o it_o live_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v feel_v a_o unspeakable_a consolation_n

forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o spiritual_a security_n of_o the_o favour_n and_o friendship_n of_o god_n that_o the_o dwell_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o presence_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o man_n may_v be_v perceive_v that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n stir_v up_o faith_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n may_v be_v perceive_v that_o a_o burn_a desire_n to_o obey_v the_o
