and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o perceive_v such_o fullness_n of_o god_n grace_n as_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v therefore_o s._n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n

have_v be_v raze_v again_o except_o he_o have_v a_o continual_a and_o abide_v dominion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o even_o in_o he_o only_o resurrection_n we_o have_v a_o record_n that_o he_o be_v the_o

he_o attain_v such_o superiority_n that_o all_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o he_o be_v now_o set_v down_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n his_o father_n to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v his_o servant_n that_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o put_v themselves_o into_o his_o keep_n and_o have_v sufficient_a power_n to_o overcome_v satan_n and_o all_o the_o world_n and_o all_o our_o enemy_n now_o than_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o may_v be_v cast_v down_o and_o our_o faith_n at_o least_o wise_a sore_o shake_v if_o we_o shall_v look_v no_o further_o than_o too_o ourselves_o therefore_o he_o set_v jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o as_o the_o true_a pattern_n wherein_o we_o may_v see_v the_o thing_n that_o as_o yet_o be_v unseen_a in_o ourselves_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n god_n inestimable_a power_n which_o surmount_v the_o whole_a world_n for_o first_o he_o be_v raze_v from_o death_n and_o second_o he_o be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n now_o the_o speak_n of_o god_n right_a hand_n be_v a_o resemblance_n take_v of_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v neither_o right_a hand_n nor_o leave_v for_o he_o be_v infinite_a and_o fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o again_o he_o have_v no_o body_n but_o be_v a_o spiritual_a be_v therefore_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v any_o place_n certain_a when_o god_n right_a hand_n be_v speak_v of_o and_o wehn_n as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n sit_v there_o it_o be_v too_o show_v that_o he_o fill_v all_o the_o world_n with_o his_o power_n

have_v obtain_v too_o govern_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v a_o similitude_n borrow_v of_o man_n as_o when_o a_o prince_n make_v his_o vicegerent_n he_o set_v he_o at_o

be_v mean_v that_o the_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v suffice_v we_o for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n now_o it_o shall_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o there_o

here_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v establish_v in_o all_o authority_n yea_o even_o for_o the_o world_n too_o come_v but_o these_o two_o agree_v very_o well_o for_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o

true_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o s._n john_n my_o father_n and_o i_o say_v he_o have_v always_o our_o hand_n at_o work_n there_o he_o

it_o be_v say_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n be_v continual_o near_a at_o hand_n too_o we_o when_o we_o seek_v he_o in_o

be_v transfigure_v into_o his_o glory_n we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v which_o thing_n we_o can_v not_o do_v now_o because_o we_o have_v too_o dull_a wit_n wherefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o

we_o shall_v have_v our_o nature_n change_v and_o we_o shall_v be_v new_a fashion_v in_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o and_o clean_o rid_v of_o all_o the_o corruption_n wherewith_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o as_o now_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v abse_z for_o he_o shall_v be_v then_o much_o better_a in_o his_o perfection_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o colossian_n that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o god_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n

the_o thing_n that_o lie_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o hope_n &_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v gather_v all_o thing_n too_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v then_o partaker_n of_o his_o glory_n every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o degree_n and_o measure_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o these_o two_o text_n agree_v very_o well_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v give_v christ_n a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n and_o also_o that_o he_o shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o why_o for_o we_o shall_v then_o see_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o conceive_v as_o now_o because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a also_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o whereas_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v be_v so_o glorify_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o be_v god_n of_o oneself_o same_o substance_n with_o his_o father_n this_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v full_o know_v then_o whereas_o now_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a shadow_n of_o it_o furthermore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v by_o god_n his_o father_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o advancement_n shall_v serve_v too_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ix_o of_o isaiah_n he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o for_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o also_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o he_o be_v in_o

into_o full_a possession_n of_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v give_v too_o he_o already_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n have_v purposely_o make_v express_a mention_n of_o the_o world_n too_o

that_o god_n receive_v that_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o nor_o too_o his_o own_o use_n for_o we_o know_v he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o his_o receive_n be_v too_o enrich_v his_o

13._o there_o therefore_o david_n show_v that_o god_n be_v not_o glorify_v for_o any_o profit_n or_o advantage_n that_o he_o pretend_v on_o his_o own_o behalf_n according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o

33._o but_o he_o speak_v purposely_o of_o the_o air_n
instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

saint_n paul_n show_v that_o there_o be_v very_o good_a agreement_n between_o the_o law_n the_o prophet_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o deed_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o

for_o as_o i_o say_v he_o know_v what_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o take_v his_o promise_n precyze_o word_n for_o word_n in_o those_o caces_fw-la that_o be_v too_o say_v
