yet_o for_o all_o that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v untoo_o we_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n and_o be_v conversant_a in_o this_o world_n and_o there_o despize_v yea_o and_o abace_v even_o too_o a_o most_o shameful_a death_n wherein_o he_o receyve_v all_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o we_o give_v not_o ear_n too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v prejudice_v thereby_o accord_v also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o declare_v in_o that_o he_o say_v 16._o he_o that_o despize_v you_o despize_v i_o and_o he_o that_o reject_v i_o reject_v the_o live_a god_n that_o send_v i_o mark_v then_o whereunto_o the_o order_n tend_v which_o s._n paul_n keep_v namely_o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o willing_o honour_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o accept_v his_o doctrine_n for_o certain_a and_o infallible_a god_n be_v set_v at_o naught_o and_o we_o can_v say_v that_o our_o intent_n be_v too_o worship_n he_o for_o he_o will_v reject_v all_o our_o doing_n and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v enough_o too_o prove_v we_o rebel_n if_o we_o separate_v the_o son_n from_o his_o father_n and_o s._n paul_n add_v express_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rayze_v from_o the_o dead_a too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o apostleship_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o less_o esteem_v and_o also_o that_o man_n shall_v match_v he_o with_o the_o number_n &_o company_n of_o the_o other_o apostle_n according_a also_o as_o he_o be_v add_v too_o they_o after_o that_o jesus_n christ_n cease_v too_o be_v any_o more_o upon_o earth_n for_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o the_o thing_n wherewith_o the_o false_a apostle_n which_o come_v too_o overthrow_v all_o upbray_v he_o be_v this_o how_o now_o say_v they_o he_o have_v not_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o peter_n and_o john_n be_v he_o be_v a_o thing_n bear_v out_o of_o seazon_n and_o how_o can_v he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v receyve_v his_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n s._n paul_n declare_v that_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o inquyre_v of_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o ryze_a again_o ought_v not_o too_o have_v diminish_v it_o sure_o though_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v bring_v low_a while_o he_o have_v the_o veil_n of_o man_n nature_n upon_o he_o whereby_o his_o glory_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n hide_v yet_o be_v he_o not_o abace_v in_o himself_o 13._o for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o angel_n acknowledge_v he_o for_o their_o soverayne_a king_n and_o although_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o stable_n and_o lay_v upon_o the_o ground_n as_o a_o creature_n destitute_a of_o all_o help_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n bare_a record_n of_o he_o 2._o to_o be_v short_a the_o majesty_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v always_o sufficient_o avouch_v as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o this_o world_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o there_o be_v a_o much_o excellent_a glory_n in_o his_o resurrection_n accord_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o roman_n 4_o that_o then_o he_o be_v show_v too_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o we_o also_o have_v see_v in_o the_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 14._o that_o as_o he_o suffer_v under_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o he_o be_v rayze_v again_o through_o the_o wonderful_a power_n of_o god_n spirit_n so_o then_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o conversant_a with_o we_o nowadays_o yet_o must_v not_o his_o majesty_n therefore_o be_v diminish_v nor_o deface_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o yield_v he_o his_o due_a and_o deserve_a obedience_n and_o receyve_v his_o word_n reverent_o without_o all_o gaynesay_n this_o warning_n be_v very_o behooveful_a for_o us._n for_o what_o a_o number_n of_o lightheaded_a person_n do_v we_o see_v which_o will_v have_v jesus_n christ_n too_o be_v here_o in_o visible_a shape_n their_o say_n be_v that_o they_o will_v fain_o see_v jesus_n christ_n conversant_a here_o beneathe_v and_o that_o then_o they_o will_v at_o the_o first_o push_n accept_v what_o soever_o he_o speak_v to_o they_o so_o as_o there_o shall_v need_v but_o one_o word_n of_o his_o mouth_n to_o ravish_v they_o and_o there_o shall_v need_v none_o other_o teach_v nor_o any_o other_o man_n to_o be_v much_o with_o us._n yea_o but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o come_v down_o have_v perform_v his_o charge_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o he_o of_o god_n his_o father_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o have_v preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o sufficient_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n afterward_o be_v rise_v again_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o apostle_n and_o now_o that_o he_o have_v all_o sovereign_a dominion_n so_o as_o the_o angel_n bow_v their_o knee_n before_o he_o and_o that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o majesty_n as_o surmount_v all_o glory_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n ought_v not_o all_o that_o which_o he_o have_v do_v to_o suffice_v we_o thorough_o when_o it_o please_v he_o too_o send_v we_o mortal_a man_n and_o too_o send_v forth_o the_o message_n and_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o his_o gospel_n in_o brittle_a vessel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o will_v have_v we_o to_o receyve_v they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o mockery_n to_o say_v that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v with_o we_o and_o in_o our_o company_n we_o will_v obey_v he_o for_o if_o heaven_n and_o earth_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o quake_v under_o he_o and_o his_o majesty_n be_v know_v even_o to_o the_o

sufficient_o that_o he_o have_v not_o forsake_v we_o see_v we_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o dwell_v not_o with_o we_o here_o by_o low_a in_o visible_a

unseparable_a bond_n betwixt_o he_o and_o us._n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o ought_v of_o right_a to_o yield_v he_o obedience_n and_o his_o resurrection_n ought_v to_o touch_v we_o to_o the_o

the_o name_n whereof_o the_o prophet_n speak_v whereby_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o swear_v and_o whereat_o they_o ought_v to_o bow_v their_o knee_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o measure_v the_o gospel_n after_o the_o respect_n and_o reputation_n of_o those_o that_o speak_v unto_o we_o for_o why_o

that_o be_v give_v he_o by_o god_n his_o father_n for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v then_o show_v too_o the_o full_a when_o he_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a then_o sing_v our_o

that_o all_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v commend_v there_o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o all_o godliness_n in_o it_o as_o the_o papist_n imagine_v who_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n

open_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o this_o morning_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o saint_n paul_n spare_v not_o the_o galathians_n although_o he_o mind_v not_o too_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o the_o gate_n of_o salvation_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o his_o meen_n be_v to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o repentance_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v set_v the_o grace_n of_o

their_o own_o unthankfulness_n the_o better_a he_o say_v that_o he_o wonder_v to_o see_v they_o carry_v away_o so_o soon_o and_o so_o easy_o from_o the_o heavenly_a call_n and_o how_o it_o come_v to_o

but_o here_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v over_o sharp_a and_o rough_a in_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o feebleness_n of_o the_o galathians_n see_v they_o never_o mean_v to_o forsake_v the_o gospel_n

confess_v that_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v glorify_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o way_n for_o we_o to_o commend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o abide_v unremoved_a by_o the_o

to_o be_v full_o resolve_v in_o our_o mind_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o always_o to_o it_o without_o change_v this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n show_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o of_o his_o gospel_n that_o he_o have_v preach_v for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o

declare_v already_o it_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o s._n paul_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n in_o general_a except_o he_o have_v show_v therewith_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a &_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n can_v well_o enough_o away_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o very_o great_a estimation_n among_o we_o but_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n the_o gospel_n be_v and_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n chalendge_v that_o faithfulness_n of_o teach_v the_o gospel_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v change_v let_v the_o same_o be_v accurse_v and_o this_o yet_o again_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o when_o the_o papist_n read_v this_o place_n they_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o it_o and_o god_n also_o have_v dull_v they_o so_o as_o there_o be_v less_o wit_n in_o they_o than_o in_o little_a child_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o namely_o that_o paul_n mean_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v another_o gospel_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v write_v a_o book_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v write_v by_o he_o than_o they_o shall_v utter_o reject_v it_o because_o the_o gospel_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o think_v not_o that_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o paul_n epistle_n be_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o gospel_n but_o they_o rather_o surmise_v that_o he_o have_v write_v some_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o any_o other_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o refuzall_n thereof_o the_o same_o that_o have_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o credit_n nor_o reputation_n but_o we_o see_v that_o in_o that_o case_n these_o wretched_a beast_n have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o understanding_n nor_o any_o taste_n at_o all_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v even_o to_o show_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_fw-la the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o will_v we_o be_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o accept_v what_o soever_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o his_o name_n but_o we_o must_v put_v that_o thing_n in_o ●re_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n 5_o which_o be_v too_o be_v able_a by_o herken_v unto_o his_o voice_n too_o discern_v his_o voice_n from_o

which_o care_v not_o which_o end_n go_v forward_o in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o we_o must_v rest_v to_o have_v any_o

therefore_o let_v we_o shun_v it_o as_o a_o poison_n for_o sure_o no_o poison_n can_v be_v so_o deadly_a as_o a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o if_o man_n do_v natural_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o

with_o he_o he_o have_v lever_n to_o acknowledge_v his_o fault_n with_o all_o humility_n than_o to_o leave_v the_o thing_n unsought_a that_o may_v be_v to_o god_n glory_n so_o then_o let_v we_o

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

a_o while_n too_o the_o end_n too_o set_v we_o free_a and_o clear_a and_o too_o purchase_v we_o grace_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n his_o father_n shall_v that_o do_n of_o his_o bee_n

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

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

whereunto_o we_o shall_v refer_v this_o say_n where_o saint_n paul_n tell_v
all_o the_o faithful_a &_o to_o all_o his_o child_n but_o yet_o do_v he_o grant_v we_o other_o special_a grace_n beside_o as_o when_o he_o give_v we_o man_n that_o teach_v we_o his_o word_n faithful_o

they_o consider_v not_o how_o it_o come_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o say_v it_o purposely_o because_o man_n will_v always_o make_v fair_a protestation_n enough_o that_o they_o meene_z not_o to_o reject_v god_n grace_n and_o yet_o do_v show_v the_o clean_a contrary_n in_o their_o dooyng_n as_o how_o they_o that_o be_v loath_a too_o suffer_v themselves_o too_o

have_v god_n too_o hold_v himself_o a_o far_o off_o from_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o come_v at_o he_o for_o he_o set_v before_o they_o the_o mean_n to_o come_v too_o he_o and_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o take_v it_o but_o do_v thrust_v it_o from_o they_o so_o then_o whereas_o s._n paul_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o galathians_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o protest_v open_o with_o full_a mouth_n that_o they_o will_v none_o of_o god_n spirit_n or_o that_o they_o hold_v scorn_v of_o his_o gift_n but_o too_o show_v they_o that_o they_o have_v very_o ill_o regard_v god_n utter_v of_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o church_n what_o ought_v we_o then_o too_o gather_v upon_o this_o text._n that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o mean_n too_o come_v untoo_o he_o we_o must_v take_v they_o awoorth_n even_o by_o fashion_v of_o ourselves_o unto_o they_o for_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o we_o and_o we_o wilful_o forget_v what_o be_v

to_o the_o world_n whereupon_o be_v put_v and_o add_v this_o condition_n that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o that_o be_v contain_v therein_o god_n have_v yield_v a_o record_n of_o his_o

they_o and_o that_o be_v not_o for_o one_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o nation_n as_o the_o scripture_n express_v and_o there_o of_o the_o foundation_n be_v lay_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

so_o that_o if_o we_o go_v in_o his_o name_n to_o seek_v favour_n it_o be_v ready_a for_o we_o and_o we_o can_v be_v disappoint_v of_o our_o hope_n see_v it_o be_v so_o establish_v there_o be_v no_o

god_n and_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n because_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o for_o his_o chidren_n which_o thing_n he_o have_v not_o do_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v

lowliness_n seek_v the_o mercy_n that_o be_v proffer_v they_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o his_o mean_n be_v able_a to_o receyve_v it_o and_o enjoy_v it_o and_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v

in_o his_o set_n down_o of_o the_o mediator_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o many_o man_n have_v take_v this_o say_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o moses_n as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v call_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o doctrine_n but_o that_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n stand_v for_o paul_n do_v first_o set_v down_o

we_o see_v what_o saint_n paul_n discourse_v he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o diversity_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n for_o the_o

in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v oftentimes_o import_v force_n power_n or_o strength_n but_o here_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n make_v comparison_n between_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o angel_n he_o set_v down_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v assemble_v there_o to_o make_v his_o law_n to_o be_v hear_v among_o man_n and_o too_o be_v receyve_v of_o they_o without_o gainsay_v therefore_o they_o be_v as_o witness_n of_o god_n majesty_n but_o he_o set_v down_o the_o mediator_n as_o the_o great_a the_o hand_n therefore_o import_v direction_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o have_v high_a

the_o everlasting_a there_o he_o be_v name_v a_o angel_n therefore_o be_v he_o god_n messenger_n as_o the_o word_n betoken_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o everlasting_a that_o have_v my_o be_v of_o myself_o which_o say_v can_v not_o be_v verify_v of_o any_o creature_n and_o as_o for_o the_o angel_n they_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o as_o well_o as_o we_o then_o have_v it_o be_v high_a treason_n for_o a_o angel_n too_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o title_n that_o agree_v to_o none_o but_o god_n alone_o therefore_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o that_o angel_n be_v jesus_n christ_n 9_o who_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o mediator_n aforehande_v according_o as_o saint_n paul_n treat_v thereof_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o corinthian_n where_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o jew_n rebelliousnesse_n and_o of_o their_o provoke_v of_o god_n to_o displeasure_n by_o their_o murmur_a and_o wicked_a lust_n he_o say_v that_o they_o tempt_v jesus_n christ_n which_o lead_v

to_o god_n his_o father_n after_o diverse_a manner_n and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n say_v that_o the_o same_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v too_o day_n 8_o be_v yesterday_o and_o shall_v be_v still_o tomorrow_o even_o too_o the_o world_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v hold_v themselves_o too_o he_o and_o not_o wander_v any_o more_o in_o strange_a doctrine_n but_o now_o he_o add_v jesus_n christ_n then_o have_v be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o poor_a sinner_n may_v find_v some_o

whereoutof_n god_n have_v deliver_v i_o once_o twice_o or_o thrice_o before_o and_o that_o if_o god_n have_v pity_v i_o in_o some_o affliction_n to_o day_n so_o as_o i_o have_v feel_v his_o favour_n he_o afflict_v i_o to_o morrow_n with_o some_o other_o affliction_n what_o be_v my_o life_n if_o i_o rest_v upon_o the_o world_n so_o then_o the_o prophet_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o although_o

which_o they_o endure_v here_o shall_v turn_v to_o their_o welfare_n for_o why_o they_o rest_v themselves_o upon_o their_o god_n wherefore_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o better_a

by_o his_o turn_n away_o of_o his_o countenance_n from_o we_o damn_a wretch_n so_o as_o he_o consider_v we_o not_o as_o of_o ourselves_o but_o accept_v we_o for_o his_o only_a son_n sake_n according_o as_o we_o see_v how_o david_n speak_v of_o it_o in_o another_o text_n 2._o say_v lord_n enter_v not_o intoo_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n for_o i_o know_v that_o no_o man_n live_a shall_v be_v

foot_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o will_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n for_o he_o can_v not_o be_v unlike_o himself_o then_o if_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n we_o can_v not_o come_v to_o he_o to_o hope_v for_o any_o favour_n or_o grace_n at_o his_o hand_n except_o jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o a_o mean_a to_o reconcile_v we_o again_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o father_n of_o all_o age_n preace_v not_o unto_o god_n but_o by_o the_o guide_n of_o the_o mediator_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n in_o

have_v not_o a_o eye_n simple_o unto_o abraham_n nor_o too_o the_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o but_o that_o abraham_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n whereof_o jesus_n christ_n be_v

the_o promise_n now_o remain_v for_o we_o too_o know_v by_o what_o mean_v we_o come_v unto_o god_n namely_o by_o the_o promise_a seed_n which_o be_v but_o only_o one_o as_o s._n paul_n add_v for_o if_o man_n turn_v never_o so_o little_a from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o and_o by_o they_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o if_o this_o be_v speak_v too_o beat_v

whereas_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v too_o bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o

and_o the_o least_o occasion_n in_o the_o world_n will_v by_o and_o by_o shake_v we_o and_o scare_v we_o out_o of_o our_o way_n and_o thereof_o we_o fee_v too_o many_o example_n even_o here_o

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

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

you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n do_v with_o such_o majesty_n maintain_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o occasion_n thereof_o be_v give_v he_o by_o the_o galathians_n for_o they_o be_v

you_o see_v then_o that_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o confess_v in_o general_a term_n that_o the_o gospel_n ought_v too_o be_v preach_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o know_v not_o what_o the_o gospel_n be_v now_o too_o correct_v such_o fault_n s._n paul_n say_v namely_o the_o gospel_n that_o i_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o and_o hereby_o as_o i_o say_v he_o show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v too_o know_v what_o substance_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o our_o faith_n may_v be_v

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

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

once_o again_o hereafter_o now_o the_o papist_n will_v welynough_o grant_v this_o in_o part_n but_o not_o common_o for_o the_o most_o part_n ay_o meene_z of_o those_o that_o be_v the_o pope_n right_a

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 that_o god_n have_v bind_v himself_o as_o he_o have_v do_v and_o then_o they_o think_v that_o we_o deserve_v and_o why_o for_o else_o say_v they_o god_n promise_v that_o he_o which_o do_v those_o

to_o purchase_v salvation_n by_o their_o own_o desert_n but_o rather_o to_o hold_v they_o convict_v and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o true_a humility_n which_o they_o shun_v continual_o through_o their_o foolish_a overween_a and_o vain_a gloriousnesse_n now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o paul_n meen_n be_v in_o effect_n that_o if_o we_o go_v about_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o our_o

devilish_a pride_n or_o heathenish_a folk_n that_o scorn_n
that_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v give_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o in_o to_o diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o fullness_n nature_n and_o force_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n when_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n nevertheless_o it_o suffice_v that_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n that_o by_o his_o mean_n man_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n now_o if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v more_o than_o need_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v some_o change_n and_o variableness_n in_o god_n purpose_n see_v the_o law_n come_v in_o saint_n paul_n discuss_v the_o same_o in_o place_n convenient_a and_o we_o must_v not_o huddle_n up_o thing_n together_o for_o all_o can_v be_v utter_v at_o once_o neither_o in_o a_o hour_n nor_o in_o a_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o at_o this_o time_n too_o have_v this_o point_n make_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o intoo_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n be_v before_o the_o law_n and_o also_o that_o the_o same_o promis_fw-fr have_v not_o any_o respect_n to_o our_o deserve_n nor_o too_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o person_n but_o too_o god_n mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o without_o look_v for_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o because_o he_o see_v welynough_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a misery_n and_o finallye_o that_o the_o say_a promise_n be_v ground_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryste_n who_o have_v already_o do_v the_o suffice_v of_o a_o mediator_n to_o make_v we_o way_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n this_o be_v grant_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o promise_n have_v abide_v and_o shall_v abide_v for_o ever_o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o be_v say_v express_o because_o the_o jew_n glory_v of_o their_o auncetrie_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o their_o father_n abraham_n have_v not_o the_o law_n but_o be_v content_v though_o he_o use_v sacrifise_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o although_o he_o be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o end_n yet_o when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n there_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o they_o any_o law_n write_v no_o nor_o any_o circumcision_n at_o all_o for_o abraham_n be_v uncircumcised_a when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v iustify_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v and_o all_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n saint_n paul_n therefore_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v great_o oversee_v too_o shoal_n out_o themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a wo●ld_n and_o to_o rest_v continual_o upon_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n see_v that_o abraham_n their_o father_n and_o the_o chief_a patriarch_n of_o the_o church_n be_v iustify_v the_o sefsame_a way_n that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o this_o day_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o god_n mere_a mercy_n because_o he_o

which_o be_v promise_v he_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o here_o too_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o abraham_n that_o all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bliss_v in_o his_o seed_n 3._o now_o there_o be_v here_o two_o principal_a point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n be_v promise_v not_o only_o to_o abraham_n fleshly_a offspring_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o but_o also_o to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o general_n we_o therefore_o be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v issue_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o be_v heathenfolke_n and_o banish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n although_o then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o of_o that_o holy_a lineage_n which_o god_n have_v choose_v at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v salvation_n to_o be_v extend_v unto_o us._n and_o why_o so_o ▪_o for_o it_o have_v hin_a promise_v before_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bliss_v see_v it_o be_v so_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o bounteousness_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o say_a lineage_n of_o abraham_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v already_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o time_n convenient_a you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a promise_n unto_o abraham_n be_v not_o for_o his_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fullness_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o seed_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o of_o mo_z than_o one_o but_o of_o one_o only_a seed_n which_o must_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v jesus_n christ_n here_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o saint_n paul_n buzy_v his_o head_n about_o a_o needless_a matter_n for_o the_o word_n seed_n import_v a_o lineage_n or_o offspring_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o some_o one_o man_n or_o ten_o or_o forty_o but_o a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n that_o it_o be_v just_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v twelve_o nation_n for_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o people_n it_o will_v be_v think_v enough_o to_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o they_o together_o and_o there_o be_v many_o mo_z in_o the_o only_a tribe_n of_o juda_n so_o than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o sufficient_o consider_v what_o god_n mean_v by_o the_o word_n seed_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o only_a man_n but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v here_o as_o full_o certain_a and_o resolute_a and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceyve_v his_o argument_n to_o be_v utter_o infallible_a abraham_n have_v not_o one_o son_n alone_o but_o after_o ishmael_n he_o have_v isaac_n also_o and_o what_o become_v of_o his_o elder_a son_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o house_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v within_o a_o while_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v behold_v then_o ishmael_n which_o have_v the_o birthright_n in_o abraham_n house_n be_v nevertheless_o put_v out_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a

according_a as_o saint_n john_n say_v that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v

member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n except_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o time_n and_o place_n hereafter_o and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

notwithstanding_o howsoever_o we_o fare_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o press_v bold_o before_o god_n as_o though_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v receyve_v or_o as_o though_o we_o bring_v he_o any_o

with_o some_o spot_n or_o other_o so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v try_v rigorous_o it_o shall_v always_o be_v subject_a to_o condemnation_n then_o must_v we_o needs_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n favourable_a and_o merciful_a to_o we_o we_o must_v bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o only_a faith_n no_o but_o only_a faith_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v take_v the_o bridle_n in_o his_o neck_n too_o do_v evil_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o heretofore_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v void_a of_o god_n spirit_n nor_o that_o we_o shall_v welter_v in_o all_o wickedness_n no_o but_o here_o the_o case_n concern_v only_o our_o trust_n whereupon_o we_o may_v ground_v ourselves_o too_o call_v god_n our_o father_n that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o the_o eternal_a heritage_n if_o we_o go_v to_o our_o own_o work_n as_o have_v be_v declare_v afore_o there_o will_v be_v no_o certainty_n at_o all_o for_o why_o it_o be_v not_o a_o work_n or_o twain_o or_o three_o that_o be_v require_v but_o a_o perfect_a obedience_n which_o be_v never_o yet_o find_v in_o any_o mortal_a creature_n true_o if_o the_o angel_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v before_o god_n they_o can_v not_o answer_v to_o that_o perfection_n of_o rightuousnesse_n &_o much_o less_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o which_o

have_v the_o promise_n perform_v towards_o us._n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o declare_v in_o this_o text_n and_o now_o he_o add_v immediate_o that_o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o till_o the_o faith_n be_v revel_v here_o the_o word_n law_n and_o faith_n will_v be_v somewhat_o darksome_a if_o they_o be_v not_o open_v more_o at_o large_a for_o sometime_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o faith_n it_o meen_v all_o religion_n and_o comprehend_v all_o the_o instruction_n that_o be_v give_v we_o in_o god_n book_n sometime_o it_o meen_v the_o certainty_n of_o belief_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o have_v when_o we_o come_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n because_o we_o may_v not_o step_v to_o he_o at_o all_o adventure_n but_o accept_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o offer_v us._n then_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n promise_n depend_v not_o upon_o our_o desert_n but_o be_v altogether_o free_o and_o frank_o give_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o embrace_v the_o same_o our_o so_o do_v be_v call_v faith_n and_o so_o have_v saint_n paul_n take_v it_o hitherto_o and_o likewise_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o all_o other_o place_n where_o he_o discourse_v or_o treat_v how_o we_o may_v be_v iustify_v before_o god_n or_o how_o we_o may_v come_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o
shape_v and_o fashion_v as_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v thus_o you_o see_v brief_o how_o saint_n paul_n mitigate_v the_o rigoure_n that_o may_v have_v be_v too_o great_a and_o have_v wound_v the_o galathians_n too_o sore_o when_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o what_o you_o be_v as_o it_o be_v bear_v before_o your_o time_n i_o think_v i_o have_v conceive_v you_o breed_v you_o bear_v you_o and_o

saint_n paul_n have_v stay_v there_o sure_o those_o wretched_a people_n have_v be_v drive_v to_o confusion_n and_o utter_a despair_n therefore_o to_o give_v they_o courage_n to_o return_v again_o he_o say_v go_v too_o true_o you_o have_v profit_v very_o ill_o hitherto_o but_o enter_v new_a again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o let_v that_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v stark_o dead_a bring_v forth_o new_a fruit_n again_o and_o let_v it_o be_v perceive_v that_o your_o protest_v too_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n heretofore_o have_v not_o be_v vain_a for_o like_a as_o if_o a_o tree_n be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o wither_v it_o will_v spring_v again_o if_o a_o man_n put_v new_a earth_n to_o the_o root_n of_o it_o and_o cherish_v it_o so_o will_v it_o fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n which_o be_v quite_o stray_v away_o from_o the_o gospel_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v as_o it_o be_v eftsoon_o beget_v new_a again_o if_o he_o be_v bring_v back_o again_o into_o the_o way_n but_o also_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v afore_o shall_v do_v he_o good_a as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v wheresoever_o god_n give_v the_o grace_n too_o bring_v those_o back_n again_o intoo_o the_o right_a way_n which_o be_v stray_v from_o it_o but_o sure_o that_o happen_v not_o too_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o abuse_v not_o god_n goodness_n as_o many_o of_o these_o skoffer_n do_v which_o turn_v away_o as_o though_o they_o have_v confederate_v themselves_o with_o satan_n whereof_o we_o see_v example_n in_o these_o folk_n that_o defile_v and_o unhalow_a themselves_o and_o deface_v god_n truth_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n and_o if_o any_o man_n turn_v away_o through_o unconstancy_n it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v mar_v and_o some_o will_v say_v what_o shall_v a_o man_n win_v by_o teach_v of_o they_o behold_v he_o be_v but_o a_o lose_a child_n and_o so_o they_o will_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a knowledge_n in_o they_o but_o if_o god_n call_v they_o again_o as_o there_o be_v many_o such_o example_n to_o be_v see_v a_o man_n shall_v find_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o choke_v &_o overwhelm_v before_o sprout_v again_o like_a as_o if_o dung_n be_v cast_v upon_o a_o well_o till_v ground_n or_o as_o if_o dust_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n be_v

saint_n paul_n mean_v to_o tell_v we_o here_o but_o by_o the_o we_o way_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v fashion_v in_o they_o new_a again_o it_o be_v mean_v condicional_o that_o they_o return_v under_o his_o obeisance_n sure_o this_o say_n may_v seem_v somewhat_o harsh_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n for_o we_o be_v rather_o fashion_v in_o

that_o be_v betwixt_o we_o and_o jesus_n christ_n our_o head_n although_o then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n can_v neither_o increase_v nor_o diminish_v in_o himself_o yet_o do_v he_o take_v all_o our_o

the_o gospel_n for_o we_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o damn_a in_o adam_n there_o be_v but_o one_o mean_a of_o life_n which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v one_o with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n that_o have_v all_o fullness_n in_o it_o and_o whereoutof_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o draw_v then_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o so_o do_v he_o

furthermore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n intend_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o we_o but_o that_o he_o and_o we_o be_v all_o one_o he_o say_v that_o

as_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n he_o say_v he_o be_v little_a in_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o little_a knowledge_n of_o he_o which_o we_o have_v and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o proceed_v still_o further_o and_o further_o he_o say_v also_o that_o he_o grow_v and_o be_v increase_v in_o us._n lo_o here_o a_o record_n of_o excellent_a goodness_n yea_o of_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n son_n in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o so_o to_o abase_v himself_o as_o not_o only_o too_o have_v compassion_n and_o pity_n of_o our_o infirmity_n too_o relieve_v they_o and_o remedy_v they_o but_o also_o transform_v himself_o and_o be_v content_v too_o say_v that_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v unperfect_a and_o as_o a_o little_a babe_n and_o that_o he_o grow_v great_a and_o great_a according_a too_o the_o continual_a increase_n of_o our_o faith_n 23_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o in_o another_o place_n saint_n paul_n call_v the_o church_n the_o fullness_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o son_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o sure_o if_o we_o imagine_v that_o god_n be_v not_o thorough_o full_a and_o perfect_a in_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o have_v need_n too_o

why_o for_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o as_o a_o father_n with_o his_o child_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o freedom_n wherein_o we_o must_v stand_v except_o we_o will_v be_v separate_v from_o our_o

which_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v not_o to_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o do_v what_o we_o ourselves_o think_v good_a as_o though_o he_o lay_v the_o reins_n of_o the_o bridle_n upon_o our_o neck_n

of_o that_o freedom_n be_v too_o be_v able_a too_o carry_v a_o cheerful_a and_o quiet_a mind_n before_o god_n for_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v the_o hart_n to_o obey_v he_o but_o

that_o abraham_n perceive_v how_o it_o stand_v he_o on_o hand_n to_o put_v his_o whole_a trust_n in_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n give_v over_o himself_o and_o so_o his_o believe_v be_v reckon_v to_o he_o for_o rightuousnesse_n as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n so_o then_o their_o take_n be_v all_o one_o with_o we_o in_o
