here_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v hold_v out_o with_o invincible_a constancy_n against_o all_o the_o stop_n that_o satan_n labour_v too_o lay_v afore_o we_o to_o hinder_v we_o from_o keep_v on_o

be_v in_o any_o peril_n or_o be_v persecute_v so_o as_o they_o have_v many_o wrong_n and_o injury_n do_v they_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o succour_v of_o all_o that_o while_n 8_o they_o may_v think_v

the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v suffer_v in_o vain_a then_o see_v we_o now_o why_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o live_v by_o faith_n for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v settle_v upon_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v able_a enough_o too_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o furthermore_o it_o

and_o heavenly_a power_n 4_o as_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o another_o text._n and_o therefore_o when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o consider_v what_o the_o same_o import_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n of_o reconciliation_n between_o god_n &_o man_n a_o

that_o there_o be_v such_o power_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o thereupon_o we_o march_v further_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o the_o glory_n whereuntoo_o it_o lead_v we_o let_v we_o not_o any_o more_o imagine_v that_o man_n ought_v hereafter_o to_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o nature_n but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o live_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n assure_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v in_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v contain_v there_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n whereunto_o we_o shall_v refer_v this_o say_n where_o saint_n paul_n tell_v
money_n or_o for_o some_o land_n a_o umper_n may_v so_o qualify_v the_o matter_n on_o either_o side_n as_o peace_n shall_v soon_o be_v make_v betwixt_o they_o but_o if_o we_o grant_v god_n enemy_n their_o own_o ask_n special_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o he_o that_o will_v have_v his_o own_o right_n thorough_o maynteyn_v as_o good_a reason_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o mark_v well_o this_o lesson_n where_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o serve_v god_n we_o must_v not_o shun_v neither_o trouble_n nor_o vexation_n nor_o repine_n nor_o reproach_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o insomuch_o that_o if_o it_o stand_v upon_o the_o hazard_n of_o our_o life_n we_o must_v go_v through_o with_o it_o and_o though_o there_o be_v great_a frailty_n in_o we_o yet_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o remedy_v all_o our_o weakness_n and_o to_o give_v we_o sufficient_a strength_n to_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o uttermost_a howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v see_v he_o employ_v we_o in_o his_o service_n we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v nothing_o of_o ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o dishonour_v he_o so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v he_o subject_a to_o man_n lust_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n furthermore_o we_o be_v warn_v therewithal_o to_o suspectall_a such_o as_o seek_v their_o own_o advantage_n and_o profit_n and_o all_o such_o as_o disguise_v themselves_o row_v between_o two_o

we_o mind_n to_o serve_v god_n simple_o and_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_v this_o sentence_n where_o saint_n paul_n say_v 10_o that_o if_o his_o mind_n be_v too_o please_v man_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n forsake_v the_o service_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o master_n for_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o the_o devil_n will_v not_o cease_v to_o make_v war_n upon_o we_o on_o all_o side_n and_o again_o man_n be_v natural_o dispose_v thereunto_o every_o man_n covet_v to_o be_v soothe_v and_o uphilde_n and_o to_o have_v all_o his_o vice_n cloak_v to_o be_v short_a there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o desire_v too_o be_v fode_v and_o maintain_v in_o his_o recklessness_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v friend_n with_o man_n too_o frame_v ourselves_o untoo_o

of_o all_o now_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v that_o these_o which_o pretend_v great_a zealousnesse_n of_o christian_n religion_n do_v seek_v their_o own_o profit_n let_v we_o hardy_o conclude_v

which_o have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o that_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o be_v receyve_v ground_v himself_o upon_o the_o

the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o by_o the_o way_n it_o ought_v too_o make_v paul_n doctrine_n of_o the_o more_o authority_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o bold_o in_o the_o

baptism_n he_o presuppose_v that_o we_o receyve_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o in_o it_o many_o that_o be_v baptize_v do_v wipe_v away_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o yet_o they_o make_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o it_o through_o their_o unbeleef_n lewdness_n and_o rebellion_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o baptism_n be_v disfeat_v in_o many_o man_n but_o when_o there_o happen_v
by_o his_o authority_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n which_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v these_o namely_o that_o man_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n that_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n be_v open_v untoo_o we_o and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v we_o for_o our_o heritage_n so_o as_o we_o be_v make_v pattaker_n of_o all_o the_o

than_o that_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o such_o as_o come_v too_o set_v trouble_n after_o we_o have_v be_v

lift_v up_o among_o they_o too_o their_o salvation_n now_o if_o we_o set_v so_o much_o store_n by_o god_n honour_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v or_o esteem_v it_o a_o precious_a thing_n too_o be_v parttaker_n of_o all_o heavenly_a benefit_n or_o if_o we_o make_v account_n of_o our_o own_o welfare_n ought_v not_o every_o of_o we_o too_o shun_v those_o troubler_n and_o too_o cast_v they_o out_o

after_o it_o if_o man_n see_v some_o one_o person_n recant_v at_o who_o hand_n great_a constancy_n be_v look_v for_o then_o be_v many_o poor_a soul_n shake_v and_o they_o wot_v not_o what_o too_o

they_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o commit_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n &_o see_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o many_o underling_n which_o seek_v nothing_o but_o too_o bring_v all_o too_o confusion_n and_o employ_v themselves_o whole_o to_o overwhelm_v the_o christian_a faith_n let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o strengthen_v we_o with_o such_o constancy_n as_o

when_o s._n paul_n avouch_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a than_o by_o faith_n we_o shall_v see_v more_o plain_o hereafter_o why_o faith_n be_v so_o compare_v with_o the_o law_n as_o a_o

both_o need_n but_o the_o first_o have_v money_n to_o content_v his_o host_n and_o like_a as_o he_o shall_v have_v fare_v well_o and_o be_v well_o and_o courteous_o interteyn_v so_o shall_v his_o host_n receyve_v money_n of_o he_o and_o hold_v himself_o content_v with_o it_o and_o not_o think_v his_o guest_n beholden_a or_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o why_o he_o be_v recompense_v yea_o and_o he_o have_v gain_v by_o he_o but_o as_o for_o the_o poor_a man_n that_o crave_v alm_n he_o think_v himself_o beholden_a for_o his_o life_n to_o he_o that_o feed_v he_o and_o lodge_v he_o for_o he_o bring_v he_o nothing_o but_o a_o charge_n so_o then_o if_o we_o will_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o the_o law_n we_o must_v deserve_v it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v receyve_v of_o we_o and_o we_o of_o he_o and_o there_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o interchaunge_v betwixt_o us._n and_o be_v that_o possible_a no_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o at_o large_a hereafter_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o we_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o if_o we_o think_v to_o bring_v any_o thing_n to_o bind_v god_n withal_o we_o do_v but_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n then_o be_v there_o none_o other_o shift_n but_o to_o go_v to_o he_o like_o poor_a beggar_n and_o so_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n not_o as_o by_o a_o virtue_n that_o be_v of_o ourselves_o but_o because_o we_o confess_v with_o all_o lowliness_n that_o we_o can_v not_o obtain_v salvation_n but_o by_o his_o free_a gift_n ▪_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n be_v set_v here_o full_o but_o against_o faith_n as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o they_o which_o go_v about_o to_o win_v god_n favour_n by_o their_o own_o merit_n forsake_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o shall_v be_v declare_v more_o at_o length_n hereafter_o ▪_o but_o now_o if_o any_o man_n say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v of_o god_n so_o as_o it_o can_v not_o have_v any_o contrariety_n against_o faith_n whereof_o god_n be_v the_o author_n also_o the_o answer_n thereunto_o be_v easy_a for_o god_n make_v both_o day_n and_o night_n fire_n and_o water_n cold_a and_o heat_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o day_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o night_n but_o we_o see_v the_o wonderful_a order_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n in_o that_o man_n have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o do_v then_o work_n in_o by_o day_n and_o the_o darkness_n as_o it_o be_v a_o covert_n to_o rest_v in_o by_o night_n so_o than_o although_o the_o day_n differ_v from_o the_o night_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o contrariety_n betwixt_o they_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o between_o fire_n and_o water_n so_o each_o creature_n be_v put_v to_o his_o own_o proper_a use_n but_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v very_o well_o agree_v the_o fire_n and_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o 〈◊〉_d behold_v they_o fight_v together_o then_o be_v there_o great_a contrariety_n even_o so_o be_v it_o between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o any_o body_n will_v have_v a_o man_n to_o be_v justify_v both_o by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o gospel_n to_o he_o do_v but_o turmoil_n and_o mingle_v thing_n together_o and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v set_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v much_o easy_a too_o mingle_v fire_n and_o water_n together_o than_o too_o say_v that_o we_o can_v purchase_v any_o grace_n at_o god_n hand_n by_o our_o own_o deserve_n and_o therewithal_o also_o have_v need_n to_o be_v succour_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o a_o man_n consider_v what_o the_o law_n be_v and_o too_o what_o purpose_n it_o be_v give_v he_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o whit_n at_o all_o repugnant_a too_o the_o gospel_n nor_o consequent_o untoo_o faith_n but_o that_o they_o agree_v very_o well_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o difficulty_n be_v dispatch_v so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o faith_n come_v of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a nevertheless_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o we_o shall_v say_v hereafter_o to_o what_o end_n god_n give_v as_o well_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o but_o let_v we_o return_v too_o that_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o be_v justify_v let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o with_o be_v reckon_v or_o take_v for_o rightuous_a before_o god_n and_o that_o word_n have_v need_v too_o be_v well_o understand_v for_o the_o case_n stand_v upon_o know_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o be_v save_v but_o be_v we_o not_o wretched_a caytife_n if_o after_o we_o have_v live_v long_o in_o the_o world_n a_o man_n ask_v we_o which_o be_v the_o mean_a too_o be_v save_v and_o we_o can_v tell_v he_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o beastly_a wretch_n which_o have_v devour_v god_n bread_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o can_v tell_v how_o they_o shall_v offer_v themselves_o before_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o take_v so_o much_o the_o better_a heed_n to_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v teach_v we_o here_o by_o s._n paul_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v rightuous_a and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o amiss_o in_o we_o no_o but_o it_o be_v for_o that_o god_n accept_v us._n then_o be_v the_o word_n rightuousnesse_n put_v for_o the_o favour_n which_o god_n show_v we_o in_o that_o he_o

not_o man_n rather_o use_v that_o manner_n of_o speech_n than_o say_v that_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o justify_v we_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o for_o if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n salvation_n raw_o &_o say_v no_o more_o but_o that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v not_o well_o perceyve_v what_o our_o own_o state_n be_v nor_o how_o
have_v good_a reason_n to_o hold_v they_o so_o at_o the_o staff_n end_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o any_o such_o promise_n what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o we_o know_v that_o the_o heathen_a man_n will_v always_o needs_o be_v in_o god_n favour_n for_o their_o own_o virtue_n sake_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o know_v there_o be_v many_o fault_n in_o they_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n they_o retain_v the_o use_n of_o sacrifice_v it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o understand_v not_o the_o end_n of_o they_o yet_o nevertheless_o their_o sacrifice_a be_v a_o plain_a

deal_n of_o pelt_a trash_n to_o make_v atonement_n with_o god_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o heathen_a man_n do_v at_o all_o time_n keep_v the_o same_o trade_n which_o the_o papist_n keep_v at_o this_o day_n but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v their_o intent_n be_v to_o be_v save_v at_o god_n hand_n for_o their_o own_o deserve_n howbeit_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o think_v he_o owe_v

even_o unfeyned_o alas_o if_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o eat_v bread_n for_o the_o sustenance_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n upon_o earth_n how_o can_v we_o by_o our_o own_o desert_n get_v the_o

after_o a_o honest_a and_o unblameable_a fashion_n among_o man_n but_o that_o be_v great_a folly_n or_o rather_o stark_a madness_n for_o how_o can_v god_n become_v indet_v untoo_o we_o as_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o the_o seventeenth_o of_o saint_n luke_n 10_o though_o man_n can_v do_v better_a than_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n can_v they_o bind_v god_n too_o they_o by_o it_o no_o for_o they_o be_v his_o aforehand_o by_o nature_n according_o also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n allege_v the_o similitude_n of_o a_o servant_n not_o of_o such_o servant_n as_o be_v now_o adays_o but_o

if_o any_o of_o you_o have_v a_o bondslave_n he_o will_v hold_v he_o as_o a_o ass_n or_o a_o ox_n and_o when_o the_o servant_n after_o sore_a travel_n and_o labour_n with_o great_a pain_n all_o the_o

to_o such_o as_o serve_v he_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o work_n be_v not_o of_o such_o value_n as_o to_o deserve_v everlasting_a life_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o presuppose_v

to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o that_o fountain_n and_o yield_v the_o whole_a praise_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o the_o work_v of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o

how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o he_o which_o be_v lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n take_v that_o subjection_n upon_o he_o to_o set_v we_o free_a from_o it_o for_o

also_o as_o he_o allure_v we_o to_o he_o and_o by_o the_o way_n if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o here_o seem_v to_o be_v some_o contrariety_n consider_v how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n the_o answer_n thereto_o be_v easy_a when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v too_o we_o of_o god_n justice_n it_o say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v recompense_v according_a to_o his_o own_o work_n after_o which_o manner_n saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o xiiij_o to_o the_o roman_n according_a as_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v walk_v in_o his_o conversation_n in_o this_o world_n say_v he_o and_o according_a as_o he_o shall_v have_v wrought_v in_o his_o body_n so_o must_v he_o receyve_v his_o reward_n that_o be_v the_o order_n which_o the_o scripture_n

succour_v lo_o how_o god_n succour_v his_o elect_a and_o such_o as_o he_o have_v reserve_v too_o salvation_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n after_o he_o have_v chastise_v they_o he_o reach_v they_o his_o

neither_o can_v we_o taste_v of_o it_o neither_o can_v we_o ever_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o unless_o we_o be_v utter_o confound_v in_o ourselves_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o feel_v our_o

in_o he_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n grace_n be_v not_o exclude_v when_o his_o justice_n be_v speak_v of_o for_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o 〈…〉_o â—â—ayes_n too_o his_o mercy_n 13._o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o cruel_a and_o merciless_a person_n shall_v have_v justice_n without_o mercy_n thereby_o saint_n james_n do_v we_o too_o understande_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v his_o judgement_n against_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o reprobate_n to_o recompende_v they_o according_a to_o their_o misdeed_n and_o again_o that_o he_o measure_v his_o own_o

then_o he_o set_v they_o up_o again_o then_o must_v we_o first_o be_v strike_v down_o with_o god_n hand_n and_o afterward_o be_v lift_v up_o again_o by_o his_o gracious_a promise_n in_o that_o he_o

that_o in_o admonish_v our_o neighbour_n with_o a_o gentle_a and_o meeld_v spirit_n and_o be_v also_o humble_a &_o mâ—ke_v ourselves_o without_o presume_v any_o thing_n upon_o ourselves_o we_o must_v

these_o thing_n in_o mind_n that_o we_o may_v submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o whatsoever_o man_n do_v to_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o it_o let_v we_o not_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v seduce_v and_o for_o the_o bring_v hereof_o to_o pass_v let_v we_o flee_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n know_v that_o how_o desirous_a so_o ever_o we_o be_v to_o give_v

if_o we_o have_v not_o one_o to_o hold_v we_o back_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bear_v all_o our_o sin_n and_o set_v we_o utter_o free_a from_o they_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v hereafter_o come_v before_o god_n with_o our_o face_n upright_o now_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n with_o such_o humility_n as_o every_o of_o we_o may_v confess_v
