together_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n even_o we_o that_o have_v so_o tear_v a_o sunder_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v set_v in_o so_o goodly_a order_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n s._n paul_n speak_v here_o not_o only_o of_o man_n which_o be_v estrange_v from_o god_n afore_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n but_o also_o of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n 20._o wherein_o he_o comprehend_v even_o the_o very_a angel_n for_o although_o god_n glory_n shine_v forth_o in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v never_o yet_o separate_v from_o he_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o stand_v they_o on_o hand_n too_o be●_z gather_v together_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o after_o two_o sort_n for_o albeit_o that_o they_o never_o swerve_v aside_o ne_o fall_v from_o that_o they_o be_v at_o the_o first_o and_o that_o god_n righteousness_n do_v always_o show_v itself_o in_o they_o insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v mirror_n and_o pattern_n of_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o god_n li●ted_v too_o look_v upon_o they_o with_o rigour_n they_o shall_v find_v themselves_o far_o short_a of_o the_o perfection_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o book_n of_o job._n 28_o furthermore_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o reason_n too_o be_v match_v with_o this_o which_o be_v that_o the_o angel_n shall_v not_o have_v such_o constancy_n and_o steadiness_n as_o be_v requisite_n unless_o jesus_n christ_n have_v so_o establish_v they_o as_o they_o may_v never_o fall_v thus_o you_o see_v one_o way_n how_o they_o be_v gather_v together_o but_o this_o gather_v whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o their_o unite_n again_o unto_o we_o for_o we_o know_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n we_o be_v cut_v of_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n so_o as_o the_o angel_n be_v by_o and_o by_o fain_a too_o become_v our_o enemy_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o still_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o atonement_n which_o we_o have_v with_o they_o again_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o head_n which_o be_v common_a too_o we_o both_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o that_o in_o the_o ladder_n that_o be_v show_v unto_o jacob_n 12._o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n stand_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o and_o touch_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o the_o angel_n go_v up_o and_o down_o on_o it_o now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o true_a live_n and_o everlasting_a god_n which_o touch_v both_o heaven_n ▪_o and_o earth_n because_o that_o in_o his_o person_n god_n have_v knit_v his_o own_o divine_a be_v or_o substance_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n together_o thus_o therefore_o you_o see_v that_o heaven_n be_v open_a so_o as_o the_o angel_n begin_v too_o acquaint_v themselves_o with_o we_o 14._o yea_o and_o too_o become_v our_o servant_n as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n because_o the_o care_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v commit_v unto_o they_o and_o they_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o thirty_o and_o four_o psalm_n incamp_v about_o we_o 8._o and_o watch_v we_o and_o be_v our_o keeper_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o be_v unite_v again_o too_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n 27._o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o he_o say_v from_o hensfoorth_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o heaven_n open_a and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v down_o in_o his_o majesty_n with_o his_o angel_n whereby_o he_o do_v we_o too_o wit_n that_o heaven_n be_v shut_v against_o we_o and_o that_o we_o also_o be_v unworthy_a too_o find_v any_o favour_n at_o god_n hand_n &_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o now_o that_o he_o be_v come_v too_o be_v our_o head_n and_o have_v make_v the_o atonement_n between_o his_o father_n and_o we_o 10._o and_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n of_o mediator_n &_o be_v become_v the_o head_n not_o only_o of_o the_o faithful_a but_o also_o of_o the_o angel_n he_o have_v gather_v all_o together_o again_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o whereas_o the_o devil_n make_v war_n against_o we_o and_o practice_v our_o destruction_n without_o cease_v the_o angel_n be_v arm_v with_o infinite_a power_n too_o maintain_v we_o and_o although_o we_o see_v they_o not_o with_o our_o eye_n yet_o must_v we_o certain_o believe_v that_o they_o watch_v for_o our_o welfare_n otherwise_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v as_o a_o roar_a lion_n 8._o and_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o devour_v we_o we_o see_v what_o a_o number_n of_o ●●yghts_n he_o have_v too_o wind_n about_o we_o with_o needs_o then_o must_v the_o angel_n have_v a_o infinite_a power_n too_o defend_v we_o withal_o also_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v preserve_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v both_o their_o head_n and_o we_o too_o thus_o you_o see_v brief_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o s._n paul_n mean_v too_o tell_v we_o in_o this_o text_n where_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v gather_v together_o again_o be_v that_o we_o be_v scatter_v

the_o angel_n so_o as_o they_o be_v become_v our_o brethren_n and_o fellow_n and_o god_n have_v give_v they_o charge_n too_o guide_n and_o maintain_v we_o in_o all_o our_o way_n and_o to_o watch_v

rest_n of_o heaven_n now_o let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o too_o make_v we_o so_o too_o

unto_o the_o redeem_n of_o the_o purchase_v possession_n too_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glory_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o how_o s._n paul_n have_v declare_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o ground_n of_o our_o salvation_n than_o god_n free_a goodness_n and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v any_o where_o else_o for_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o choose_v the_o one_o and_o forsake_v the_o

must_v needs_o have_v wrought_v beforehand_o and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o enter_v into_o so_o deep_a a_o maze_n as_o god_n everlasting_a ordinance_n for_o he_o show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_n how_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o at_o least_o wise_a if_o we_o play_v not_o the_o churl_n with_o he_o but_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o and_o be_v

that_o be_v too_o say_v for_o that_o he_o have_v reserve_v we_o too_o himself_o as_o his_o own_o child_n now_o than_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_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

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 now_o 12._o that_o we_o behold_v he_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n and_o dark_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n and_o that_o we_o know_v he_o in_o part_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o yield_v up_o of_o the_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 come_v he_o add_v immediate_o that_o god_n have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n his_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o

which_o he_o treat_v of_o continual_o be_v that_o we_o can_v sufficient_o exalt_v our_o god_n consider_v the_o mercy_n that_o he_o use_v towards_o we_o and_o now_o too_o express_v the_o same_o yet_o the_o better_a and_o to_o touch_v we_o the_o more_o to_o the_o quick_a with_o it_o he_o show_v we_o as_o in_o a_o picture_n or_o in_o a_o glass_n what_o man_n be_v till_o god_n have_v prevent_v they_o

to_o abash_v we_o and_o make_v the_o hair_n stand_v up_o upon_o our_o head_n for_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o thereupon_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v move_v and_o inflame_v too_o bliss_n god_n name_n

12._o as_o i_o have_v allege_v before_o according_a whereunto_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o scripture_n name_v he_o again_o our_o lord_n

that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v so_o i●●yghtened_v that_o god_n light_n be_v in_o we_o namely_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o

be_v rend_v asunder_o and_o that_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o we_o may_v now_o enter_v familiar_o into_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o god_n not_o of_o such_o a_o material_a temple_n as_o be_v then_o but_o even_o of_o heaven_n so_o as_o we_o may_v press_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o god_n and_o resort_v unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n as_o if_o a_o child_n shall_v cast_v himself_o into_o the_o lap_n of_o his_o father_n or_o mother_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n surmount_v all_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n of_o the_o world_n in_o all_o kindness_n and_o favour_n see_v then_o that_o we_o know_v that_o what_o cou●t_v we_o more_o will_v we_o have_v some_o better_a or_o excellent_a thing_n than_o god_n then_o must_v we_o go_v seek_v it_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n for_o when_o we_o

that_o be_v worth_a a_o straw_n in_o comparision_n of_o god_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n so_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o

have_v too_o remember_v in_o the_o first_o place_n second_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o degree_n that_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o here_o whereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o must_v have_v

be_v easy_a when_o we_o have_v the_o kine_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o receive_v the_o gospel_n in_o true_a obedience_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v lay_v forth_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n &_o mercy_n of_o god_n his_o father_n but_o that_o it_o

insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n it_o intend_v not_o too_o assign_v he_o some_o peculiar_a place_n the_o respect_n be_v far_o differ_v and_o altogether_o unlike_a between_o god_n in_o his_o spiritual_a essence_n and_o jesus_n christ_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n and_o humane_a nature_n which_o he_o take_v of_o we_o for_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n we_o must_v always_o lay_v this_o ground_n that_o he_o have_v a_o infinite_a essence_n which_o fill_v all_o thing_n 1._o so_o that_o heaven_n be_v as_o his_o royal_a throne_n &_o the_o earth_n be_v his_o footstool_n not_o that_o he_o have_v any_o foot_n nor_o any_o seat_n to_o sit_v on_o but_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n so_o far_o or_o wide_o that_o can_v contain_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n which_o be_v infinite_a as_o i_o say_v that_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n when_o god_n be_v speak_v of_o unto_o we_o and_o why_o then_o be_v it_o say_v that_o god_n be_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n and_o why_o do_v saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n here_o of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v because_o that_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o earthly_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v his_o temple_n &_o palace_n in_o heaven_n we_o will_v tie_v he_o too_o every_o pillar_n to_o every_o stone_n too_o every_o waterspring_n too_o every_o tree_n &_o too_o be_v short_a too_o
then_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o christ_n intend_v too_o distribute_v his_o gift_n by_o certain_a measure_n and_o thereupon_o we_o have_v too_o conclude_v that_o he_o which_o presume_v of_o himself_o

when_o we_o have_v our_o measure_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o two_o point_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o 43._o namely_o that_o he_o which_o have_v receive_v the_o large_a measure_n be_v the_o

too_o god_n his_o father_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v in_o speak_v of_o the_o say_a measure_n now_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o mark_v well_o how_o he_o say_v that_o

of_o himself_o alone_o we_o must_v cling_v together_o in_o peace_n and_o concord_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n can_v well_o have_v make_v we_o perfect_a out_o of_o hand_n so_o as_o

although_o god_n blissing_n shine_v forth_o every_o where_o both_o above_o and_o beneath_o yet_o be_v there_o always_o token_n of_o curse_v imprint_v in_o they_o so_o as_o we_o can_v behold_v

her_o husband_n that_o be_v the_o pith_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o this_o strain_v now_o then_o let_v wife_n look_v well_o too_o their_o duty_n and_o understand_v that_o when_o they_o contend_v with_o their_o husband_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o will_v reject_v god_n â–ª_o because_o he_o have_v not_o create_v they_o otherwise_o than_o with_o

the_o husband_n think_v upon_o their_o duty_n for_o although_o to_o speak_v proper_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o their_o wife_n because_o their_o wife_n have_v no_o authority_n over_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o advance_v too_o that_o honour_n of_o superiority_n with_o certain_a condition_n namely_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v cruel_a towards_o their_o wife_n nor_o think_v all_o thing_n

head_n too_o oppress_v she_o or_o too_o make_v none_o account_v of_o she_o but_o let_v he_o understand_v that_o the_o authority_n which_o he_o have_v do_v bind_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o she_o for_o see_v he_o be_v the_o head_n he_o ought_v too_o have_v discretion_n and_o skill_n how_o too_o guide_v his_o wife_n and_o his_o household_n and_o what_o be_v the_o way_n too_o bring_v

peter_n exhort_v we_o you_o see_v then_o that_o husband_n must_v so_o require_v obedience_n at_o their_o wife_n hand_n as_o they_o themselves_o must_v therewithal_o do_v their_o own_o duty_n and_o consider_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v bear_v with_o before_o god_n if_o they_o give_v their_o wife_n cause_n too_o lift_v up_o themselves_o so_o against_o they_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o

but_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o god_n be_v call_v upon_o for_o though_o a_o man_n use_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o can_v be_v yet_o if_o he_o trust_v to_o his_o own_o wit_n he_o

we_o look_v too_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o own_o duty_n in_o deed_n i_o can_v as_o now_o go_v through_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enjoin_v here_o to_o child_n &_o to_o father_n &_o mother_n &_o therefore_o i_o will_v reserve_v they_o to_o another_o time_n yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o a_o short_a conclusion_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n allure_v we_o too_o our_o duty_n by_o show_v that_o he_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o our_o welfare_n and_o benefit_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v with_o a_o frank_a and_o free_a heart_n receive_v the_o yoke_n that_o he_o

of_o god_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o can_v geynsay_v they_o but_o we_o shall_v lift_v up_o ourselves_o against_o his_o majesty_n and_o bend_v our_o horn_n against_o he_o and_o that_o

for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o obey_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v neither_o must_v we_o think_v he_o behold_v too_o we_o for_o it_o nor_o think_v too_o bind_v he_o too_o we_o by_o any_o mean_n but_o that_o although_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o he_o as_o we_o be_v whole_o he_o yet_o he_o of_o his_o overflow_a goodness_n vouchsafe_v too_o bliss_n

which_o we_o ought_v too_o hope_v for_o at_o god_n hand_n howbeit_o not_o as_o the_o papist_n say_v ho_o god_n promise_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o deserve_v they_o bear_v themselves_o on_o hand_n that_o god_n be_v behold_v unto_o they_o because_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o willing_o yea_o but_o that_o be_v of_o a_o free_a and_o undeserved_a goodness_n howbeit_o we_o must_v not_o fall_v
