yea_o even_o in_o the_o church_n that_o like_o well_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v of_o a_o pure_a and_o right_a meaning_n zeal_n insomuch_o that_o some_o backbyte_v it_o through_o envy_n

heathen_a man_n who_o have_v no_o likelihood_n of_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n because_o god_n have_v leave_v they_o like_o poor_a wild_a beast_n and_o they_o be_v stray_v away_o in_o their_o own_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 know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o accurse_v and_o damn_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o blissednesse_n to_o be_v hope_v for_o other_o than_o that_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 stranger_n 10._o yea_o and_o as_o a_o rot_a member_n in_o somuch_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o 1._o cast_v out_o the_o son_n of_o the_o handseruante_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o inherit_v in_o my_o house_n afterward_o abraham_n have_v other_o child_n but_o every_o of_o they_o have_v their_o portion_n give_v unto_o they_o and_o be_v send_v away_o 23._o thus_o be_v only_a isaac_n leave_v at_o home_n untoo_o he_o anon_o after_o isaac_n have_v a_o couple_n of_o child_n and_o they_o be_v twin_n of_o one_o womb_n esau_n the_o firstborne_v which_o ought_v too_o have_v have_v the_o preferment_fw-mi be_v likewise_o cast_v off_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o count_v for_o the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n nor_o yet_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_a blessing_n there_o be_v no_o mo_z leave_v but_o jacob_n yea_o and_o although_o the_o father_n bliss_v his_o son_n jacob_n through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n 37_o yet_o he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o revoke_v or_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o all_o those_o that_o come_v of_o his_o race_n the_o ismaelite_n or_o agarenes_n as_o they_o be_v call_v and_o such_o other_o like_a and_o moreover_o the_o edomite_n also_o shall_v be_v of_o his_o household_n but_o the_o heritage_n be_v take_v quite_o and_o clean_o from_o they_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v consider_v after_o a_o peculiar_a
we_o know_v that_o the_o great_a number_n perish_v in_o their_o sin_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o why_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o all_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o he_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v none_o other_o help_n for_o we_o but_o only_a god_n look_v upon_o we_o with_o pity_n of_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n that_o pardon_v our_o offence_n and_o receive_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n too_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o heritage_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n we_o see_v then_o that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o without_o cause_n say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o not_o that_o every_o man_n be_v comprehend_v under_o that_o word_n all_o but_o to_o exclude_v and_o put_v away_o all_o selfrightuousnesse_n of_o man_n moreover_o we_o see_v how_o the_o mean_a be_v express_v here_o namely_o that_o we_o must_v obtain_v the_o promise_n by_o faith_n 16_o 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 but_o have_v life_n everlasting_a will_v we_o then_o enter_v into_o the_o treasure_n that_o be_v show_v to_o we_o here_o faith_n must_v be_v as_o a_o key_n to_o open_v we_o the_o door_n for_o god_n call_v we_o to_o it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o be_v call_v only_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o answer_v according_a to_o this_o say_n you_o be_v my_o people_n 9_o yea_o lord_n and_o thou_o be_v our_o god_n when_o he_o say_v 16_o you_o be_v my_o child_n let_v we_o answer_v lord_z we_o come_v to_o thou_o as_o to_o our_o father_n but_o sure_o we_o can_v answer_v so_o of_o our_o own_o proper_a motion_n it_o must_v be_v give_v we_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n howbeit_o the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o whither_o faith_n come_v of_o man_n self_n or_o no._n saint_n paul_n do_v no_o more_o but_o declare_v that_o to_o be_v quit_v before_o god_n and_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o cursednesse_n wherein_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o plunge_v we_o must_v not_o bring_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o as_o though_o we_o will_v go_v about_o to_o bind_v god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o too_o imagine_v any_o desert_n of_o our_o own_o but_o come_v too_o crave_v his_o favour_n which_o be_v offer_v we_o free_o without_o any_o duty_n to_o usward_n and_o settle_v our_o trust_n there_o so_o as_o we_o hope_v not_o for_o any_o welfare_n otherwise_o than_o because_o god_n show_v himself_o merciful_a towards_o us._n i_o have_v declare_v already_o wherefore_o this_o serve_v sure_o man_n will_v always_o fain_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o some_o presumptuousnesse_n as_o we_o see_v that_o adam_n do_v who_o though_o his_o own_o sin_n upbray_v he_o so_o as_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n majesty_n do_v nevertheless_o seek_v figleave_n to_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

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

that_o i_o speak_v of_o afore_o now_o in_o such_o heave_n at_o man_n there_o will_v always_o be_v some_o strife_n and_o hartburn_n and_o too_o be_v short_a all_o must_v needs_o go_v too_o wrack_n

this_o lesson_n because_o we_o see_v this_o naughtiness_n too_o be_v as_o great_a nowadays_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o commend_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o be_v

they_o see_v then_o that_o man_n be_v nowadays_o so_o full_a of_o malice_n and_o venom_n we_o have_v the_o more_o need_n too_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n

if_o god_n shall_v not_o by_o that_o mean_n have_v draw_v they_o too_o the_o full_a knowledge_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o tell_v you_o not_o long_o since_o that_o our_o faith_n must_v

saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v not_o seem_v that_o he_o have_v run_v in_o vain_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n do_v lose_v their_o

unto_o god_n although_o the_o world_n receyve_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o damnation_n by_o it_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v how_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o second_o too_o the_o corinthian_n
