man_n know_v where_o he_o die_v and_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n nevertheless_o he_o manifest_o show_v himself_o and_o eftsoon_o hide_v himself_o and_o be_v bury_v but_o no_o man_n know_v how_o nor_o when_o whereupon_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o he_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o although_o he_o be_v the_o everlasting_a son_n of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v no_o father_n after_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o man_n because_o his_o divine_a essence_n be_v spiritual_a and_o eternal_a and_o be_v also_o miraculous_o conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n beyond_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o although_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o he_o live_v for_o ever_o yea_o and_o have_v obtain_v life_n for_o we_o in_o that_o he_o die_v for_o us._n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v without_o beginning_n &_o without_o end_n without_o beginning_n because_o he_o be_v god_n eternal_a and_o without_o end_n because_o we_o live_v for_o ever_o in_o he_o as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n who_o shall_v tell_v the_o line_n that_o shall_v come_v of_o he_o the_o church_n by_o the_o virtue_n &_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v immortal_a 53.8_o isaiah_n 53.8_o &_o therefore_o by_o a_o far_o strange_a reason_n must_v he_o needs_o be_v without_o end_n but_o we_o will_v hereafter_o handle_v this_o more_o at_o large_a &_o at_o this_o time_n brief_o run_v it_o over_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o sem._n see_v they_o why_o david_n also_o especial_o count_v the_o redeemer_n that_o shall_v come_v unto_o melchisedech_n howbeit_o before_o we_o go_v any_o far_a we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a grace_n of_o god_n that_o melchisedech_n can_v so_o pure_o keep_v himself_o consider_v that_o all_o the_o land_n at_o that_o time_n be_v full_o of_o idolatry_n for_o abran_n his_o father_n house_n be_v a_o den_n of_o idol_n as_o heretofore_o we_o have_v say_v &_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n witness_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o josua_n 24.2_o josua_n 24.2_o see_v they_o that_o all_o be_v so_o corrupt_v in_o the_o land_n of_o chaldea_n which_o be_v very_o nigh_o unto_o the_o place_n where_o noah_n dwell_v where_o he_o have_v continual_o live_v that_o sem_fw-mi &_o such_o as_o he_o be_v be_v there_o also_o see_v than_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v pervert_v and_o so_o foul_o defile_v the_o service_n of_o god_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n where_o the_o people_n be_v wicked_a where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o impiety_n contempt_n of_o god_n &_o rebellion_n where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o iniquity_n deceit_n cruelty_n &_o violence_n that_o yet_o there_o shall_v dwell_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o god_n oftentimes_o have_v his_o church_n as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v rake_v up_o in_o the_o ash_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n not_o to_o be_v see_v but_o it_o suffice_v that_o god_n know_v it_o whereof_o we_o have_v here_o a_o testimony_n in_o melchisedech_n a_o man_n will_v have_v think_v that_o there_o have_v not_o be_v at_o that_o time_n one_o man_n that_o worship_v god_n sincere_o and_o simple_o for_o see_v that_o the_o grandfather_n of_o abram_n and_o all_o his_o kindred_n be_v give_v to_o devilish_a error_n and_o serve_v idol_n what_o must_v we_o think_v of_o the_o rest_n a_o man_n will_v have_v then_o judge_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v be_v utter_o abolish_v but_o we_o may_v see_v that_o he_o have_v reserve_v a_o little_a seed_n thereof_o when_o as_o his_o will_n be_v that_o melchisedech_n shall_v be_v a_o priest_n there_o yea_o even_o in_o such_o a_o land_n as_o more_o exceed_v in_o all_o iniquity_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n let_v we_o then_o apply_v this_o to_o our_o own_o use_n for_o this_o be_v a_o dangerous_a temptation_n for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v no_o church_n in_o the_o world_n for_o than_o it_o must_v fall_v out_o that_o his_o promise_n be_v vain_a &_o of_o none_o effect_n and_o beside_o when_o a_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o be_v leave_v alone_o he_o become_v so_o careless_a and_o negligent_a as_o that_o he_o fall_v into_o despair_n as_o we_o see_v how_o near_o elye_o be_v draw_v into_o it_o when_o as_o he_o say_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o this_o gear_n for_o they_o have_v kill_v thy_o prophet_n 19.10_o 1._o king_n 19.10_o have_v set_v up_o their_o idol_n in_o every_o place_n and_o myself_o be_o leave_v alone_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v like_o a_o poor_a dismay_a man_n be_v ready_a to_o cast_v himself_o headlong_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o despair_n but_o what_o god_n comfort_v he_o and_o say_v unto_o he_o 19.18_o 1._o king_n 19.18_o that_o he_o have_v as_o yet_o reserve_v unto_o himself_o seven_o thousand_o that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o great_a number_n that_o have_v not_o bow_v their_o knee_n unto_o bawl_v so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v our_o faith_n shall_v be_v marvellous_o shake_v yea_o utter_o overthrow_v if_o we_o shall_v be_v persuade_v of_o this_o that_o god_n have_v so_o forsake_v the_o world_n as_o that_o he_o have_v no_o church_n leave_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o judge_v by_o the_o outward_a sight_n of_o the_o eye_n whether_o there_o be_v a_o church_n or_o no_o but_o let_v we_o rather_o revounce_v our_o own_o insight_n because_o we_o be_v advertise_v that_o god_n will_v many_o time_n have_v a_o little_a seed_n of_o it_o lie_v hide_v as_o the_o grain_n of_o corn_n be_v not_o see_v so_o long_o as_o there_o lie_v a_o great_a heap_n of_o straw_n upon_o it_o because_o the_o grain_n be_v small_a and_o few_o which_o be_v cover_v with_o it_o even_o so_o it_o seem_v sometime_o that_o all_o the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v here_o quite_o and_o clean_o root_v out_o from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n howbeit_o the_o lord_n have_v incomprehensible_a mean_n for_o the_o uphold_v of_o his_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v continual_o worship_v and_o serve_v not_o that_o he_o do_v look_v for_o a_o great_a glorious_a and_o pompous_a multitude_n in_o his_o church_n but_o it_o may_v suffice_v we_o that_o he_o know_v who_o be_v he_o and_o so_o let_v we_o depart_v from_o all_o iniquity_n that_o we_o may_v call_v aloud_o upon_o his_o name_n &_o join_v ourselves_o with_o our_o brethren_n although_o we_o know_v they_o not_o for_o that_o depend_v upon_o god_n his_o adoption_n when_o as_o he_o witness_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o faithful_a one_o neither_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o we_o know_v they_o wherefore_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v disperse_v throughout_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n &_o have_v no_o reputation_n before_o man_n but_o be_v contemtable_a and_o despise_a person_n and_o to_o be_v short_a to_o be_v no_o more_o know_v &_o esteem_v of_o then_o if_o they_o lie_v tread_v under_o man_n foot_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o &_o yet_o we_o be_v to_o gather_v from_o this_o place_n some_o exhortation_n which_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v the_o multitude_n for_o melchisedech_n may_v have_v fall_v to_o idolatry_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n if_o he_o have_v have_v a_o regard_n to_o that_o which_o they_o do_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o all_o there_o about_o but_o a_o very_a pollution_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n &_o yet_o he_o continue_v in_o that_o which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v good_a &_o just_a according_a to_o that_o which_o god_n have_v instruct_v he_o in_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o law_n at_o that_o time_n write_v but_o god_n have_v give_v he_o so_o much_o knowledge_n as_o well_o by_o noah_n as_o by_o sem_fw-mi as_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n now_o if_o so_o small_a a_o instruction_n as_o melchisedech_n have_v constant_o establish_v he_o in_o pure_a religion_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o excuse_v ourselves_o when_o as_o god_n daily_o represent_v himself_o unto_o our_o ear_n that_o he_o have_v set_v down_o a_o law_n which_o show_v we_o how_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v &_o serve_v have_v give_v we_o prophet_n to_o explain_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o have_v give_v we_o also_o a_o gospel_n which_o be_v a_o trumpet_n to_o sound_v not_o only_o into_o our_o ear_n but_o also_o thorough_o to_o pierce_v both_o our_o thought_n &_o affection_n when_o god_n then_o have_v so_o many_o mean_n to_o keep_v we_o within_o compass_n to_o serve_v he_o pure_o &_o sincere_o if_o we_o they_o decline_v from_o the_o same_o &_o be_v transport_v away_o by_o man_n &_o under_o a_o colour_n that_o we_o see_v such_o

a_o custom_n bear_v sway_n that_o such_o a_o abuse_n rule_v &_o reign_v &_o be_v receive_v &_o accept_v and_o that_o we_o dwell_v &_o live_v among_o infidel_n and_o idolater_n what_o a_o condemnation_n shall_v that_o be_v unto_o we_o see_v that_o melchisedech_n so_o constant_o &_o firm_o persist_v &_o stand_v sound_o in_o his_o faith_n &_o belief_n let_v we_o therefore_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n unto_o god_n have_v our_o ear_n fix_v as_o it_o be_v unto_o his_o word_n &_o all_o our_o sense_n attentive_a that_o we_o be_v never_o carry_v away_o although_o we_o shall_v be_v toss_v up_o &_o down_o here_o below_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sea_n &_o drive_v too_o and_o fto_o with_o wind_n and_o tempest_n and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o people_n that_o shall_v hold_v a_o religion_n &_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o great_a king_n that_o will_v have_v they_o thus_o &_o thus_o to_o govern_v themselves_o yet_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o hold_v we_o always_o unto_o our_o god_n alone_o &_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o bewar_n that_o we_o never_o decline_v from_o the_o way_n which_o he_o have_v show_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n &_o that_o the_o bright_a shine_a light_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o gospel_n be_v ever_o before_o we_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o err_v so_o long_o as_o we_o know_v god_n to_o be_v our_o guide_n &_o leader_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v from_o the_o example_n of_o melchisedech_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o text_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v that_o melchisedech_n king_n of_o salem_n offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o bless_a abram_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o this_o text_n be_v resolve_v that_o melceisedech_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n receive_v abram_n and_o give_v unto_o he_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o the_o refresh_n of_o his_o people_n and_o be_v by_o quality_n a_o priest_n bless_v he_o and_o that_o abram_n also_o give_v he_o the_o tithe_n of_o all_o the_o spoil_n here_o we_o see_v that_o melchisedech_n be_v set_v before_o we_o both_o a_o king_n and_o a_o priest_n now_o here_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v of_o the_o diverse_a act_n by_o the_o several_a office_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n he_o deal_v liberal_o with_o abram_n he_o refresh_v he_o and_o all_o his_o company_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n he_o bless_a abram_n now_o it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n among_o the_o ancient_a father_n for_o every_o king_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o the_o very_a profane_a people_n do_v show_v that_o that_o be_v use_v in_o many_o country_n for_o king_n be_v not_o content_v with_o their_o kingly_a estate_n but_o desire_v also_o through_o ambition_n to_o be_v priest_n because_o they_o think_v it_o to_o be_v a_o more_o holy_a dignity_n than_o the_o majesty_n of_o a_o king_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v why_o they_o will_v oftentimes_o be_v priest_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v that_o that_o be_v a_o most_o ambitious_a desire_n and_o that_o they_o which_o covet_v credit_n and_o estimation_n will_v always_o aspire_v and_o climb_v that_o way_n but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o moses_n recite_v this_o as_o a_o singular_a thing_n in_o melchisedech_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v in_o his_o law_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o will_v not_o have_v they_o both_o to_o rest_v in_o one_o person_n and_o moses_n be_v as_o excellent_a a_o man_n in_o all_o perfection_n 28.1_o f.x._n 28.1_o of_o virtue_n as_o ever_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o god_n for_o all_o that_o have_v he_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n also_o but_o will_v have_v his_o brother_n aaron_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n because_o moses_n have_v enough_o to_o do_v with_o the_o civil_a government_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v how_o osias_n be_v punish_v 26.21_o 2._o chron._n 26.21_o for_o be_v a_o king_n he_o be_v arrogant_o puff_v up_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o usurpation_n of_o the_o priesthood_n and_o for_o only_o sense_v upon_o the_o altar_n with_o frankincense_n he_o be_v strike_v with_o a_o leprosy_n put_v to_o great_a shame_n and_o make_v a_o recluse_a all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o seem_v that_o his_o devotion_n be_v good_a or_o at_o least_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v excuse_v yea_o but_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v the_o outward_a act_n only_o for_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o the_o pride_n of_o king_n osias_n heart_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v say_v that_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o world_n 15.22_o 1._o sam._n 15.22_o and_o because_o he_o thrust_v himself_o into_o a_o office_n which_o god_n express_o forbid_v and_o trouble_v the_o vocation_n &_o order_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v inviolable_o keep_v we_o see_v wherefore_o he_o be_v punish_v and_o for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o will_v not_o content_v himself_o with_o his_o estate_n and_o degree_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v infamous_a and_o detestable_a and_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o separate_v from_o the_o company_n of_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o law_n be_v two_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o tolerate_v to_o be_v in_o one_o man_n to_o wit_n kingdom_n and_o priesthood_n and_o therefore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o this_o example_n which_o be_v here_o set_v down_o be_v absolute_a singular_a and_o appertain_v not_o unto_o the_o law_n true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o that_o time_n the_o law_n be_v not_o as_o then_o write_v and_o the_o tribe_n of_o levy_v be_v not_o yet_o in_o the_o world_n to_o take_v upon_o it_o the_o right_n of_o the_o priestly_a dignity_n howbeit_o this_o example_n be_v here_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o for_o instruction_n to_o the_o end_n the_o law_n may_v remain_v in_o her_o full_a strength_n and_o the_o church_n thereby_o may_v be_v edify_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o psalm_n by_o i_o allege_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v 110._o psal_n 110._o that_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o solomon_n nor_o yet_o of_o any_o other_o king_n descend_v from_o the_o stem_n of_o david_n for_o if_o they_o be_v king_n they_o must_v not_o have_v intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o priesthood_n for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o be_v apostate_n wherefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o king_n a_o figure_n of_o melchisedech_n and_o according_a to_o his_o order_n and_o estate_n that_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o david_n which_o be_v descend_v of_o he_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n save_v until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o high_a priest_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o of_o his_o seed_n but_o there_o be_v in_o he_o a_o especial_a yea_o a_o only_a regard_n to_o be_v have_v which_o be_v that_o he_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o la_o because_o his_o kingdom_n be_v spiritual_a and_o that_o be_v it_o also_o that_o shall_v make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o earthly_a kingdom_n which_o be_v establish_v but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o that_o until_o his_o come_n now_o when_o it_o be_v call_v perpetual_a the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o have_v continue_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o redeemer_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v out_o of_o these_o word_n of_o moses_n when_o he_o say_v that_o melchisedech_n be_v king_n of_o salem_n and_o that_o he_o be_v withal_o a_o priest_n we_o see_v then_o that_o these_o two_o office_n belong_v to_o none_o but_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o that_o rule_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o his_o

in_o common_a as_o well_o in_o good_a part_n as_o in_o ill_a that_o be_v impute_v righteousness_n and_o impute_v not_o sin_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o abram_n it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o that_o it_o overthrow_v whatsoever_o might_n come_v as_o from_o he_o nevertheless_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o

of_o these_o word_n that_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v this_o that_o god_n put_v it_o into_o a_o allowance_n for_o we_o so_o that_o thereby_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o for_o the_o one_o can_v be_v understand_v without_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o the_o impute_v of_o righteousness_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o our_o sin_n be_v no_o more_o impute_v

which_o govern_v without_o out_o reproach_n but_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o favour_n and_o grace_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o because_o he_o will_v have_v

and_o therefore_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o and_o see_v why_o moses_n namely_o express_v that_o god_n impute_v abraham_n belief_n for_o

have_v no_o form_n or_o fashion_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o jolly_a imagination_n the_o papist_n have_v whereby_o they_o declare_v that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o faith_n be_v for_o it_o be_v a_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o that_o we_o be_v make_v member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o withal_o new_a creature_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o papist_n know_v not_o these_o thing_n neither_o yet_o understand_v the_o principle_n and_o rudiment_n of_o christianity_n no_o more_o than_o brute_n beast_n without_o sense_n and_o what_o a_o fearful_a thing_n be_v this_o that_o they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o brag_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o great_a divine_n in_o the_o world_n when_o as_o they_o have_v make_v a_o distinction_n forsooth_o between_o unform_v and_o form_v faith_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v a_o god_n in_o who_o be_v no_o power_n nor_o virtue_n &_o then_o a_o god_n who_o show_v

use_v this_o word_n church_n this_o word_n bishop_n this_o say_v god_n service_n devotion_n &_o zeal_n but_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o papist_n we_o never_o yield_v unto_o they_o in_o truth_n that_o they_o have_v any_o church_n which_o be_v to_o be_v obey_v for_o in_o deed_n they_o have_v nothing_o but_o some_o ruin_n of_o a_o church_n and_o a_o certain_a canvas_v and_o toss_v of_o

it_o be_v to_o bar_v such_o as_o abuse_v this_o name_n and_o have_v a_o jollity_n to_o brag_v and_o glory_n thereof_o but_o in_o deed_n have_v it_o not_o let_v we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o

of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n which_o be_v promise_v we_o work_n must_v needs_o be_v lay_v aside_o for_o what_o be_v it_o if_o work_v justify_v now_o this_o word_n justify_v be_v not_o take_v in_o saint_n james_n to_o be_v approve_v before_o god_n to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o to_o make_v he_o receive_v we_o as_o his_o child_n how_o be_v it_o then_o take_v even_o as_o himself_o

we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o saint_n james_n speak_v not_o in_o that_o place_n how_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n but_o how_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a for_o what_o a_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o mean_a cause_n the_o instrumental_a or_o formal_a cause_n as_o we_o call_v it_o let_v we_o now_o come_v unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o abram_n when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o

you_o may_v see_v what_o they_o be_v and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o the_o whole_a state_n of_o their_o life_n be_v not_o altogether_o dissolute_a for_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v neither_o monk_n nor_o friar_n doctor_n nor_o yet_o any_o of_o that_o shear_a rabble_n but_o they_o be_v either_o rybaulde_n skorner_n of_o god_n whoremonger_n drunkard_n blasphemer_n to_o be_v short_a it_o shall_v seem_v that_o they_o have_v conspire_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o bring_v the_o whole_a world_n unto_o confusion_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o will_v pretend_v good_a work_n and_o speak_v of_o nothing_o else_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n although_o they_o be_v so_o blind_a but_o to_o speak_v but_o a_o word_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v explain_v out_o of_o saint_n james_n we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o not_o without_o work_n &_o yet_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o not_o without_o work_n we_o separate_v not_o this_o and_o how_o so_o very_o because_o that_o he_o who_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v that_o god_n forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n believe_v in_o the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o know_v that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n he_o receive_v life_n from_o he_o so_o then_o whosoever_o believe_v after_o this_o sort_n be_v not_o justify_v without_o work_n and_o why_o because_o that_o god_n bestow_v his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o he_o which_o so_o reform_v he_o as_o that_o good_a work_n can_v be_v choose_v but_o be_v join_v together_o with_o faith_n and_o yet_o be_v the_o other_o say_v also_o true_a to_o wite_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o any_o help_n of_o good_a work_n so_o as_o we_o always_o remain_v bind_v unto_o god_n here_o we_o see_v two_o place_n without_o alter_v the_o word_n wherein_o it_o shall_v seem_v they_o be_v altogether_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n &_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v without_o work_n howbeit_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o work_n be_v not_o for_o all_o this_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o to_o make_v they_o merit_v any_o whit_n before_o god_n so_o as_o to_o accept_v we_o according_a to_o our_o worthiness_n but_o it_o be_v because_o that_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n bear_v we_o not_o only_o a_o simple_a grace_n and_o favour_n but_o a_o double_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o cover_v all_o our_o iniquity_n and_o offence_n through_o his_o pure_a obedience_n and_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n by_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v up_o once_o for_o all_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o he_o so_o rule_v and_o govern_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n who_o he_o have_v receive_v in_o all_o fullness_n and_o rest_v upon_o he_o that_o if_o so_o be_v we_o do_v not_o abuse_v his_o grace_n bestow_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o band_n of_o satan_n that_o we_o may_v take_v good_a heed_n as_o s._n peter_n say_v not_o to_o follow_v the_o lust_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n this_o than_o we_o see_v may_v suffice_v for_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o place_n now_o moses_n add_v immediate_o follow_v that_o god_n speak_v again_o unto_o abram_n and_o say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n which_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o ur_fw-la of_o the_o chaldee_n to_o give_v thou_o this_o land_n to_o inherit_v it_o here_o we_o see_v that_o god_n reitereat_v his_o promise_n for_o the_o confirm_v nourish_a and_o increase_v of_o abram_n his_o faith_n until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v grow_v unto_o a_o full_a perfection_n whereupon_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o although_o abram_n be_v the_o mirror_n and_o pattern_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o very_a image_n of_o righteousness_n yet_o be_v his_o faith_n imperfect_a for_o else_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v here_o set_v down_o be_v superfluous_a for_o if_o the_o faith_n of_o abram_n be_v so_o thorough_o confirm_v as_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v amend_v god_n need_v not_o to_o have_v speak_v any_o more_o and_o why_o so_o the_o promise_n have_v this_o use_n and_o benefit_n that_o they_o draw_v we_o unto_o faith_n and_o when_o we_o have_v get_v it_o they_o be_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o right_a way_n to_o encourage_v and_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o go_v on_o valiant_o to_o refresh_v we_o when_o we_o be_v almost_o weary_a to_o augment_v our_o virtue_n when_o it_o begin_v to_o fail_v and_o to_o be_v weak_a here_o i_o say_v we_o see_v why_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n testify_v &_o declare_v unto_o we_o of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n that_o he_o be_v our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o begin_v faith_n in_o we_o or_o else_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o abram_n to_o go_v somewhat_o further_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v unperfect_a yet_o that_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o justify_v us._n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o he_o impute_v not_o the_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o it_o unto_o we_o but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v we_o be_v here_o admonish_v by_o this_o place_n not_o to_o be_v prevent_v by_o any_o foolish_a opinion_n of_o our_o own_o as_o a_o great_a many_o of_o man_n be_v who_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o great_a clark_n as_o that_o they_o will_v not_o once_o vouchsafe_v to_o come_v any_o more_o unto_o the_o school_n of_o god_n let_v we_o therefore_o understand_v and_o know_v that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v great_a and_o more_o powerful_a than_o now_o it_o be_v yet_o must_v we_o be_v scholar_n all_o our_o life_n long_o to_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n sound_v in_o our_o care_n and_o to_o have_v our_o memory_n rub_v over_o &_o refresh_v that_o we_o may_v not_o forget_v that_o which_o we_o have_v learn_v that_o that_o which_o have_v not_o take_v deep_a root_n in_o our_o heart_n may_v receive_v a_o better_a and_o deep_a impression_n and_o that_o god_n when_o he_o have_v cast_v his_o seed_n into_o we_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n his_o comparison_n we_o may_v daily_o water_v it_o in_o we_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v the_o seed_n cast_v into_o the_o ground_n without_o god_n shall_v send_v down_o rain_n from_o heaven_n and_o bedew_v it_o for_o when_o the_o husbandman_n shall_v have_v do_v his_o duty_n in_o till_v the_o land_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n without_o god_n shall_v give_v increase_n thereof_o from_o heaven_n even_o so_o must_v it_o be_v with_o we_o when_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o incorruptible_a life_n god_n must_v rain_v down_o from_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o must_v continual_o benefit_n and_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n which_o can_v be_v except_o we_o be_v daily_o instruct_v from_o his_o mouth_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o content_n of_o this_o sentence_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n which_o bring_v the_o out_o of_o ur_fw-la of_o the_o chaldee_n these_o word_n here_o be_v insert_v for_o abram_n to_o cause_v he_o to_o eschew_v all_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n wherein_o he_o have_v be_v heretofore_o bring_v up_o for_o as_o it_o be_v often_o show_v unto_o we_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o we_o must_v not_o worship_n god_n confuse_o nor_o imagine_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o we_o think_v but_o we_o must_v know_v what_o god_n that_o be_v which_o we_o must_v fly_v unto_o and_o must_v be_v separate_v &_o distinguish_v from_o all_o the_o imagination_n &_o devise_n of_o man_n brain_n whereby_o we_o so_o great_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o be_v also_o deceive_v by_o satan_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o s._n paul_n make_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n the_o eleven_o chapter_n and_o the_o six_o verse_n say_v when_o we_o will_v come_v
