a_o other_o time_n whenne_n we_o shall_v treat_v of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a let_v we_o now_o come_v unto_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n whereunto_o also_o the_o angel_n have_v special_a respect_n when_o they_o call_v again_o into_o the_o way_n the_o disciple_n that_o gase_v here_o and_o there_o that_o they_o shall_v rather_o

special_o to_o this_o point_n that_o we_o shall_v consider_v unto_o what_o end_n all_o the_o act_n of_o christ_n be_v do_v as_o for_o a_o example_n 4._o they_o refer_v christ_n death_n unto_o our_o sin_n and_o his_o resurrection_n unto_o our_o justification_n and_o so_o likewise_o of_o the_o other_o after_o this_o sort_n must_v we_o now_o also_o see_v why_o christ_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o what_o commodity_n and_o profyt_n we_o have_v by_o that_o his_o ascension_n world_n and_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o behold_v the_o nature_n and_o state_n of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o in_o that_o that_o he_o be_v go_v up_o into_o heaven_n he_o declare_v that_o his_o kyngdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o his_o administration_n shall_v not_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o worldly_a kingdom_n when_o the_o disciple_n demand_v of_o christ_n at_o what_o time_n he_o will_v restore_v the_o kingdom_n to_o israel_n they_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n 18._o that_o christ_n kingdom_n shall_v be_v a_o corporal_a and_o worldly_a kingdom_n but_o by_o his_o ascension_n they_o be_v teach_v otherwise_o to_o think_v of_o his_o kyngdom_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v no_o worldly_a kingdom_n out_o of_o the_o which_o great_a richesse_n dignity_n and_o promotion_n be_v to_o be_v look_v for_o 1._o but_o rather_o a_o spiritual_a and_o everla_a kingdom_n in_o the_o which_o he_o shall_v geve_v spiritual_a gift_n unto_o man_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n become_v one_o of_o christ_n flock_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o will_v get_v temporal_a good_n and_o worldly_a possession_n or_o to_o come_v unto_o great_a honour_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o this_o kingdom_n baptism_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o lord_n

of_o god_n do_v either_o descend_v or_o ascend_v very_o that_o he_o may_v provide_v for_o we_o everlasting_a good_n as_o be_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n remission_n of_o sin_n the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n righteousness_n &_o everlasting_a life_n such_o gift_n must_v we_o look_v for_o at_o christ_n hand_n which_o continue_v not_o in_o this_o life_n but_o go_v into_o a_o ever_o sting_n

heaven_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o welplease_v the_o exposition_n of_z the_o feast_n of_o the_o epiphanie_n have_v we_o entreat_v how_o that_o it_o have_v his_o name_n of_o this_o that_o christ_n open_v himself_o not_o only_o by_o the_o star_n christ_n but_o also_o at_o jordan_n where_o he_o be_v baptize_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o revelation_n be_v the_o great_a and_o chief_a and_o most_o comfortable_a unto_o we_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v against_o reason_n if_o it_o be_v call_v the_o feast_n of_o christ_n baptize_v 3._o and_o open_v at_o jordan_n when_o he_o be_v thirty_o year_n old_a the_o evangelist_n do_v show_v the_o history_n plain_o that_o he_o move_v from_o galilee_n and_o come_v to_o john_n unto_o jordan_n to_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o as_o other_o sinner_n be_v which_o know_v their_o sin_n and_o desire_a remission_n of_o they_o john_n be_v trouble_v with_o this_o strange_a case_n for_o he_o know_v christ_n from_o his_o childhode_n and_o he_o think_v himself_o not_o worthy_a to_o baptise_v he_o but_o christ_n say_v suffer_v i_o this_o must_v be_v do_v that_o all_o righteousness_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o be_v 3._o that_o he_o may_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o all_o miserable_a sinner_n may_v come_v to_o righteousness_n and_o be_v save_v wherefore_o herein_o be_v now_o set_v forth_o a_o comfortable_a example_n unto_o we_o baptism_n whereas_o the_o son_n of_o god_n offer_v himself_o to_o be_v baptize_v which_o nevertheless_o sin_v not_o and_o do_v that_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v whereas_o we_o do_v not_o that_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v and_o it_o be_v far_o unlyke_a that_o we_o shall_v do_v more_o than_o our_o duty_n when_o we_o through_o our_o wickedness_n be_v very_o far_o from_o that_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v wherefore_o this_o aught_o especial_o to_o be_v mark_v in_o this_o place_n that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n matter_n which_o be_v holy_a than_o all_o baptism_n be_v notwithstanding_o baptise_a &_o give_v commandment_n that_o baptism_n shall_v be_v keep_v in_o the_o congregation_n and_o that_o all_o that_o will_v be_v save_v shall_v be_v baptize_v and_o by_o this_o be_v it_o now_o evident_a that_o all_o man_n be_v damnable_a and_o accurse_a and_o stryken_v with_o madness_n and_o blindness_n of_o god_n for_o a_o punishment_n which_o can_v not_o entreat_v and_o obtain_v so_o much_o of_o their_o eye_n and_o ear_n as_o to_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v in_o this_o matter_n but_o contemn_v and_o dispraise_v baptism_n and_o speak_v villainous_o thereof_o for_o why_o do_v thou_o and_o thy_o child_n refuse_v baptism_n see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n receive_v it_o what_o great_a madness_n or_o what_o great_a fury_n be_v this_o in_o the_o that_o thou_o shall_v deny_v such_o a_o great_a work_n do_v not_o baptism_n seem_v worthy_a of_o great_a renown_n for_o this_o cause_n if_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o nothing_o else_o that_o this_o so_o great_a a_o man_n use_v it_o where_o as_o this_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o come_v to_o baptism_n that_o thou_o shall_v come_v to_o baptism_n for_o the_o renown_n thereof_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o other_o commodity_n thereby_o baptism_n but_o this_o matter_n be_v not_o without_o our_o profit_n for_o what_o good_a it_o do_v unto_o we_o it_o appear_v in_o this_o where_o as_o god_n by_o this_o baptism_n show_v forth_o himself_o wholye_a for_o as_o the_o evangelist_n bear_v witness_v john_n see_v the_o heaven_n open_a which_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n be_v delight_v with_o baptism_n which_o christ_n himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n sanctifi_v with_o his_o body_n wherefore_o heaven_n be_v open_v which_o be_v shut_v up_o before_o and_o now_o above_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o gate_n and_o window_n of_o heaven_n make_v wide_o open_a so_o that_o from_o henceforth_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n between_o we_o and_o god_n because_o god_n be_v now_o fall_v down_o unto_o jordane_n what_o be_v a_o revelation_n then_o if_o this_o be_v none_o wherefore_o if_o the_o feast_n of_o epiphanie_n that_o be_v of_o revel_v and_o appear_v be_v requisite_a why_o be_v not_o this_o constitute_v and_o appoint_v whereas_o so_o plain_a a_o manifestation_n and_o open_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v set_v forth_o ghost_n for_o

not_o open_v this_o treasure_n to_o man_n no_o man_n can_v have_v take_v the_o fruition_n thereof_o the_o cause_n why_o be_v common_a a_o man_n set_v not_o his_o affection_n on_o that_o he_o know_v

for_o the_o shepherd_n be_v great_o astony_v at_o this_o marvellous_a light_n and_o celestial_a shyninge_v as_o at_o a_o unwonted_a thing_n because_o there_o be_v sudden_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o
