the_o argument_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o he_o prove_v that_o the_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n but_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n your_o father_n say_v he_o do_v eat_v mamna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o how_o stand_v his_o argument_n consider_v of_o it_o i_o pray_v you_o your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o yet_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v dead_a in_o the_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a death_n for_o of_o that_o death_n he_o speak_v see_v they_o also_o which_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n do_v die_v the_o natural_a death_n therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n for_o that_o which_o some_o do_v eat_v of_o and_o yet_o do_v die_v eternal_o be_v not_o by_o any_o mean_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o thus_o stand_v his_o reason_n whosoever_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n if_o they_o shall_v now_o say_v some_o of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o wilderness_n do_v eat_v the_o manna_n and_o yet_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v and_o thereupon_o christ_n do_v affirm_v that_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o then_o add_v their_o own_o say_n which_o be_v this_o some_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o do_v die_v in_o their_o sin_n what_o will_v then_o follow_v if_o this_o reason_n do_v stand_v in_o force_n your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n then_o shall_v not_o this_o also_o follow_v many_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v damn_v therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o such_o as_o do_v affirm_v that_o any_o of_o the_o reprobate_n have_v the_o livelie_a faith_n do_v gainsay_v christ_n and_o overthrow_v the_o force_n of_o his_o

moreover_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n the_o sanctify_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o all_o that_o have_v the_o true_a lively_a and_o justify_v faith_n bear_v witness_n with_o and_o to_o the_o

second_o because_o it_o be_v the_o principal_a pillar_n which_o the_o papist_n do_v lean_a unto_o and_o the_o chief_a place_n of_o scripture_n which_o they_o do_v pervert_v and_o abuse_v to_o prove_v

of_o christ_n saint_n paul_n and_o saint_n james_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v flat_a contrary_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o for_o whereas_o saint_n paul_n say_v abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n

how_o great_a a_o grief_n be_v it_o for_o a_o love_a father_n to_o loose_v a_o son_n which_o he_o love_v dear_o especial_o when_o he_o have_v no_o more_o son_n then_o how_o much_o grief_n may_v this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o see_v his_o son_n slay_v but_o also_o to_o slay_v he_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o most_o of_o all_o that_o child_n in_o who_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v

so_o great_a a_o love_n in_o he_o and_o fear_n towards_o god_n that_o he_o never_o grudge_v at_o the_o matter_n nor_o never_o make_v delay_n but_o go_v indeed_o to_o have_v slay_v his_o son_n have_v

the_o lord_n it_o be_v as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v do_v because_o abraham_n do_v full_o purpose_n to_o do_v it_o then_o we_o see_v plain_o by_o this_o what_o the_o true_a faith_n be_v but_o if_o any_o

you_o take_v any_o exception_n against_o this_o example_n will_v you_o not_o be_v ashamed_a that_o your_o faith_n shall_v not_o be_v like_o she_o as_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n do_v utter_v

according_a as_o saint_n paul_n set_v it_o forth_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n not_o only_o of_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o circumcision_n but_o

be_v bless_v with_o their_o faithful_a father_n abraham_n then_o we_o have_v here_o the_o example_n of_o the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a with_o the_o example_n of_o one_o of_o his_o

and_o take_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v no_o more_o like_o he_o than_o as_o the_o common_a say_n be_v a_o apple_n be_v like_o a_o oyster_n christ_n our_o saviour_n do_v use_v this_o reason_n against_o the_o pharisy_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n john_n if_o you_o be_v abraham_n child_n say_v he_o you_o will_v do_v the_o

deceive_v you_o dear_o belove_v let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o mad_a when_o god_n tell_v we_o this_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n as_o to_o believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o to_o persuade_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o although_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o most_o pestilent_a craft_n of_o satan_n and_o come_v from_o the_o root_n of_o infidelity_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o our_o great_a grandmother_n eve_n god_n have_v tell_v she_o and_o adam_n that_o what_o day_n soever_o they_o shall_v eat_v of_o the_o tree_n they_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n the_o devil_n

never_o have_v eat_v thereof_o we_o have_v suck_v this_o poison_n from_o her_o breast_n when_o god_n tell_v we_o if_o your_o faith_n bring_v not_o forth_o good_a work_n it_o be_v dead_a it_o can_v not_o help_v you_o if_o you_o continue_v in_o these_o wicked_a deed_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o must_v speedy_o repent_v for_o you_o can_v not_o when_o you_o will_v no_o no_o

afterward_o now_o the_o most_o do_v believe_v the_o devil_n in_o this_o and_o give_v no_o credit_n at_o all_o unto_o god_n and_o never_o seek_v to_o try_v themselves_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o
