his_o operation_n and_o work_n in_o we_o he_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o gospel_n by_o which_o believe_v or_o faith_n we_o be_v prepare_v which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v if_o christ_n shall_v not_o depart_v and_o dye_v and_o so_o possess_v a_o kingdom_n over_o all_o this_o therefore_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o text_n they_o be_v foresee_v who_o the_o father_n will_v glorify_v but_o they_o can_v not_o be_v glorify_v but_o by_o christ_n who_o unless_o he_o take_v away_o death_n and_o sin_n all_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a here_o thou_o see_v that_o all_o tend_v unto_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v he_o which_o prepare_v the_o dwell_a place_n and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v glorify_v but_o by_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o this_o text_n be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o man_n strength_n nor_o by_o our_o own_o merit_n but_o by_o christ_n which_o the_o whole_a epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n effectual_o declare_v as_o also_o that_o which_o be_v write_v to_o the_o galathians_n &_o almost_o all_o that_o paul_n do_v in_o his_o epistle_n tend_v to_o the_o same_o end_n it_o follow_v moreover_o and_o whither_o i_o go_v you_o know_v and_o the_o

i_o be_o come_v you_o have_v also_o see_v and_o hear_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o father_n of_o i_o wherefore_o you_o may_v now_o know_v that_o the_o father_n will_v glorify_v i_o and_o believe_v that_o i_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one_o it_o shall_v be_v therefore_o superfluous_a to_o speak_v more_o of_o these_o thing_n but_o the_o disciple_n albeit_o they_o be_v well_o instruct_v of_o the_o

then_o know_v the_o way_n here_o you_o hear_v and_o see_v that_o albeit_o there_o be_v faith_n in_o the_o disciple_n notwithstanding_o they_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o persuade_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v crucify_v and_o by_o his_o death_n shall_v enter_v into_o his_o kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o same_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v spiritual_a which_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v even_o after_o the_o

to_o the_o work_n and_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o this_o happen_v to_o these_o great_a man_n which_o afterward_o shall_v become_v pillar_n of_o christianity_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n true_o that_o any_o shall_v marvel_v if_o we_o also_o sometime_o faint_a in_o faith_n yea_o and_o let_v no_o man_n be_v afraid_a although_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o sometime_o through_o infirmity_n he_o so_o do_v it_o be_v the_o work_n and_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o will_v amend_v these_o thing_n when_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o now_o of_o the_o word_n we_o mind_v to_o entreat_v somewhat_o at_o large_a not_o much_o before_o when_o christ_n will_v confirm_v his_o disciple_n in_o faith_n he_o promise_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v glorify_v here_o he_o add_v and_o declare_v how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o must_v be_v glorify_v affirm_v that_o that_o must_v be_v by_o his_o departure_n that_o be_v by_o his_o death_n &_o that_o by_o that_o mean_a he_o must_v obtain_v his_o
