Thus serueth then exhortations dehortations comminations and publycations of the lawes and wyll of our Lorde God that hee maye bee knowne the Lord and gouernour ouer all the thynges hée hath created and the onely lawe maker amongst his creatures publyshing vnto all that perfecte equitie and iustice which ought in no case to be resysted Whervnto if they can not attayne they must confesse and knowledge their owne infirmity and weakenesse and submyt them selnes vnder the mightie hande of God and so dooing they shall be receyued as chyldren of the most louing and most mercyfull father in suche degrées of perfection as hee hath appoynted to the beautifying of the bodie of his sonne our head So that the Lorde God doeth teache all and lyghten all men that come into the worlde bothe chosen and Reprobate with such a knowledge as doth the good Prince which vnto all his Subiects proclaimeth his statutes and publysheth his lawes but lyke a good and tender father he leadeth his children regenerate and borne a newe neyther of fleshe nor blood nor the wyll of man and guydeth them with his fatherly spyrite in the pathes of the same lawes wryting in theyr hartes what is his good wyll and pleasure In the which course of God his wonderfull worke the wicked hath no cause to complayne for as theyr father whom they doo followe is named the Prince of this world so they haue the world at wyll and are riche roysters and welthy worldlings tramplyng vnder theyr feete poore Abel and the despysed Christians neyther wyl they change their estate with any such no when they are called from darknesse to be partakers of light of life and the heauenly daynties layde vp in poore Christ they despised that estate excusing their purchases theyr marchaundice and their earthly lustes and delyghtes Luke 14. Wherfore in the other worlde they that héere are ●ppressed shall haue comfort and the other forment Such is the order then of God his working that by the contrarietie of the chosen and reprobate of Iacob and Esau of Pharao and Israel and the wisedome of God and the wisedome of the world he wyl set for●h his maiestie his power his diuinity● his Godhead so much as may be knowne vnto man that is to say in his wisdome iustice mercy almightynesse For comparing his wisedome to any other wisedome nowe appeareth the contrarie that it is very foolishnesse euen darknesse compared vnto lyght death vnto lyfe lyes vnto trueth as Paule sayth When they accoumpted themselues wyse they were made very fooles and chaunged the trueth with lyes the glory of the immortal God to mortall corruptyble creatures They following their owne righteousnesse could not come to the ryghteousnesse of God in Iesu Christ. Wherefore of necessitye God dyd shut all vnder synne that his mercie myght flow ouer all And that his mighty power myght appeare hée hath created the heauens and earth wherein we doo see lyght and darknesse death and lyfe shame and glorye weaknesse and strength lyes and trueth ryghteousnesse and vnryghteousnesse to serue to the settying foorth of his glorie that man may bée dryuen to saye with Paule O the depth of the ryches of the wisdome and knowledge of god How incomprehensyble are his wayes Howe vnsearchable are his iudgemēts For who hath knowne the minde of the Lorde Or who hath bene his coūseller Or who hath giuen him ought aforehand that he might bée repayed For by him and through him and in him are all things to him bee prayse for euer Amen And as this holy Apostle Paule doeth submytte him selfe to the great depth of the wysdome of God and his wonderfull Regiment and prouidence and woulde ●eate and dryue downe all fleshe by the consideration of the same So also all our Fathers from the begynning hath layde this the onely foundation of theyr fayth Wherefore Moyses beginneth to stablish the fayth of man at the historie of the creation and so foorth by the order of God his present gouernaunce about the things made and created And Dauid for a confession of his fayth pronounceth of this prouidence Psalm 95.

Rom. 8. 38. For I am persuaded that neyther death nor lyfe neyther Angels ●or principalities neither powers neither things present nor things to come 39. Neyther height nor depth neyther any other thing creat●d can separate vs from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesu our Lord. ● Cor. 2. 10. But God hath reuealed or op●ned them vnto vs by his spirit For the spirit searcheth all thinges euen the depthes of God. 1. Iohn 3. 24. Hée tht kéepeth his cōmaundementes dwelleth in him and h● in him And by this doo we knowe that he dwelleth in vs towyt by his spirite which he hath geuen vs. Psal. 95. 7. 8. To day if ye wyll heare his voice harden not your hearts as in Meriba as in the day of Massa in the wildernes Ioh. 10. 27. My ●héepe heare my voice and I know them and they follow mée 2. Cor. 13. 5. Trye your selues whe●ther you bée in fayth or no proue your selues Whether you knowe your sel●es or no to wyt Iesus Christ to be in you Gal. 4. 6. Because you are the sonnes of God God hath sent forth the Spirit of his sonne into your heartes crying Abba Father 1. Ioh. 3. 24. He that kéepeth his commaundementes dwelleth in hym and he in him and by this do we know that he dwelleth in vs to wit by the spyryt which he hath geuen vs. 1. Cor. 2. 10. But vnto vs hath God reueled or opened them by his spirite For the spirit searcheth al things euen the very depthes of God c. Rom. 6. All most in the whole Chapter 1. Iohn 3. 9. Whosoeuer is borne of God doeth not commytte sinne because his seede abideth in him neyther can he sinne because that he is borne of God. Rom. 6. 11. Lykewise gather ye also that ye your selues are both dead vnto s●nne and do also liue vnto God through Christ Iesu our Lord. 12. Let not sinne therefore reigne in your mortall body that you should obey sinne in the lustes of the body Ephes. 4. 29. Let no filthie speache come foorth of your mouth but if any be profitable for the vse of edifying that it maye mynyster grace vnto the hearers 30. And doo yée not make sadde that holy spirite of God by which ye are sealed vnto the daye of redemption Rom. 8. 26. Lykewise the spyrite also helpeth our infirmyties or we a●●enesses for we knowe not what to praye as wée ought but the spyrite it selfe ma●eth request for vs with sighes that can not be expressed Rom. 7. 24. Wretche that I am who shal delyuer mée from this bodie of death Rom. 8. 15. For ye haue not receaued the spirite of bondage vnto ●eare but ye haue receyued the spyrite of adoption through whome wée crye Abba Father 16. Which verie spirite beareth witnesse togeather with our spirite that we are the sonnes of God. Rom. 8. 27. But he that searcheth the heartes knoweth what is the meaning of the spirite because that hée maketh request for the Saints according to the wyll of God. Eph. 1. 13. In whome ye also haue hoped hauing heard the word of truth c. 14. Which is the earnest of our inheritaunce c. Eph. 4. 30. And make not sadde that holye spirite of God by whome you are sealed vnto the daye of redemption 2. Cor. 1. 22.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor lyfe neither Angels nor principalytyes nor powers neither things present nor thinges to come 39. Neyther height nor depth neyther any thing created can separate vs from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesu our Lord. Ioh. 3. 33. He that receyueth his witnesse hath sealed that God is true Rom. 4. 20. But he was made strong by fayth geuing the glory vnto God. 21. And being fully persuaded that h● was also able to doo that which hée had promised Rom. 5. 5. Hope maketh not a shamed because the loue of God is shed abroade in our● heartes by the holy ghost which is geuen vs. Heb. 4. 16.
