for_o we_o must_v always_o have_v recourse_n to_o

wherefore_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o and_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o have_v very_o well_o discharge_v their_o duty_n in_o come_v to_o church_n and_o in_o do_v the_o thing_n

have_v ordain_v in_o old_a time_n for_o such_o as_o be_v more_o rude_a and_o gross_a thus_o you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n upbrayd_v the_o galathians_n with_o their_o beginning_n in_o the_o spirit_n

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

both_o before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n saint_n peter_n then_o agree_v very_o well_o with_o saint_n paul_n as_o concern_v doctrine_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a too_o come_v before_o god_n too_o obtain_v grace_n than_o by_o renounce_v all_o creature_n and_o by_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o cursednesse_n in_o we_o and_o that_o god_n must_v receyve_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n s._n peter_n know_v this_o and_o teach_v it_o without_o any_o gain_n say_v and_o moreover_o he_o wist_v well_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o give_v over_o the_o use_n of_o ceremony_n for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v grant_v too_o any_o such_o liberty_n unless_o he_o have_v know_v that_o the_o same_o have_v be_v

notwithstanding_o thou_o intend_v too_o feed_v they_o in_o that_o fondness_n and_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o s._n paul_n pass_v not_o what_o peter_n

in_o a_o day_n or_o twain_o no_o nor_o in_o four_o we_o must_v take_v the_o thing_n in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v why_o s._n paul_n strive_v so_o sharp_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o ceremony_n for_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n that_o we_o must_v learn_v in_o god_n school_n next_o after_o the_o glorify_v of_o he_o for_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o comparison_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n do_v always_o go_v in_o order_n and_o degree_n before_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v thing_n inseparable_a for_o god_n show_v his_o infinite_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o in_o this_o that_o never_o any_o thing_n serve_v too_o his_o

favour_n towards_o we_o we_o on_o our_o side_n be_v bind_v untoo_o he_o both_o too_o forget_v ourselves_o and_o to_o give_v self_n whole_o unto_o he_o but_o how_o soever_o we_o fare_v we_o see_v here_o the_o two_o ground_n of_o all_o our_o religion_n namely_o too_o know_v how_o god_n ought_v too_o be_v honour_v and_o serve_v and_o also_o how_o we_o may_v so_o offer_v ourselves_o before_o he_o as_o he_o may_v accept_v we_o and_o avow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o we_o hold_v he_o for_o our_o father_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v full_o assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n and_o these_o two_o point_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o discourse_n that_o s._n paul_n handle_v here_o for_o the_o case_n be_v after_o what_o manner_n god_n will_v be_v serve_v according_a as_o the_o chief_a sacrifice_n that_o he_o demand_v be_v the_o confession_n of_o humility_n i_o say_v humility_n not_o by_o make_v demure_a countenance_n but_o by_o be_v touch_v with_o such_o remorse_n as_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v utter_o condemn_v before_o god_n and_o all_o the_o trust_n of_o our_o own_o work_v and_o merit_n be_v thrust_v under_o foot_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o more_o over_o when_o god_n command_v the_o ceremony_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o pass_v upon_o these_o outward_a thing_n but_o for_o that_o he_o amed_z at_o another_o end_n which_o be_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o jew_n shall_v be_v enure_v to_o patience_n by_o continual_a perceive_v of_o their_o own_o want_n and_o misery_n and_o thereupon_o rid_v
themselves_o from_o all_o corruption_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v lead_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o repose_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o &_o to_o rest_v whole_o there_o so_o then_o as_o touch_v those_o that_o will_v have_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n keep_v as_o if_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v precise_o bind_v to_o they_o upon_o pain_n of_o deadly_a sin_v as_o they_o term_v it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o their_o meen_n be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o seruis_fw-la of_o god_n contrary_a too_o his_o will_n and_o meen_a and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o cousiner_n for_o why_o they_o pervert_v the_o natural_a meen_n of_o the_o law_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o school_n point_n another_o be_v that_o they_o teach_v man_n to_o set_v up_o their_o bristle_n &_o to_o glory_n in_o themselves_o &_o that_o be_v a_o abolish_n of_o god_n glory_n for_o we_o can_v challenge_v aught_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a to_o

of_o the_o manner_n of_o justification_n before_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o his_o favour_n because_o it_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n which_o

treat_v general_o whither_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o make_v law_n to_o bring_v man_n conscience_n into_o tyrannical_a bondage_n 22_o for_o god_n have_v reserve_v to_o himself_o

that_o the_o spiritual_a government_n of_o our_o soul_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o god_n pure_a word_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o pope_n nor_o any_o other_o man_n of_o what_o

may_v we_o well_o enter_v into_o that_o general_a discourse_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o be_v alike_o in_o all_o point_n if_o we_o shall_v dispute_v only_o about_o the_o

when_o as_o notwithstanding_o his_o adversary_n pretend_v no_o more_o but_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o the_o continue_v thereof_o still_o as_o before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o

he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o then_o if_o we_o go_v about_o to_o get_v favour_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o our_o own_o work_n sake_n we_o must_v not_o dispute_v

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o seem_v that_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v sin_n intoo_o the_o world_n true_o so_o will_v man_n judge_v of_o he_o after_o their_o own_o opinion_n howbeit_o

of_o the_o law_n yet_o do_v that_o serve_v but_o to_o prove_v unto_o they_o still_o more_o and_o more_o that_o god_n will_v never_o show_v they_o mercy_n but_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o redeemer_n no_o doubt_n but_o that_o in_o live_v chaste_o &_o sober_o &_o therewithal_o in_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n they_o have_v some_o show_n of_o righteousness_n but_o that_o come_v whole_o of_o

be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n have_v some_o willingness_n and_o desire_n to_o lead_v a_o holy_a life_n it_o must_v not_o come_v in_o account_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n be_v behold_v to_o they_o for_o it_o for_o contrariwise_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o bind_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o otherside_n we_o have_v too_o mark_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o in_o

the_o jew_n can_v not_o be_v so_o well_o take_v and_o accept_v at_o god_n hand_n but_o that_o they_o have_v need_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o their_o salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v ground_v

whereof_o hypocrite_n have_v always_o make_v their_o cloak_n but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o jew_n be_v more_o damnable_a than_o all_o other_o man_n and_o why_o for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v without_o the_o law_n sin_n do_v not_o upbrayde_v man_n 13._o insomuch_o that_o man_n fall_v asleep_a and_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o their_o vice_n when_o they_o have_v not_o that_o sumner_n to_o cyte_v they_o before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n then_o whereas_o the_o wretched_a gentile_n may_v have_v some_o defence_n and_o excuse_n at_o least_o wise_a that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o guilty_a before_o god_n the_o jew_n in_o offer_v their_o sacrifize_v have_v it_o witness_v too_o their_o face_n that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o so_o consequent_o double_a guilty_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o collossian_n s_o paul_n use_v this_o similitude_n 14._o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v as_o evidence_n to_o bind_v a_o man_n the_o more_o true_o like_a as_o although_o a_o debtor_n be_v not_o condemn_v by_o order_n of_o law_n nor_o have_v bind_v himself_o before_o

the_o man_n that_o have_v pass_v bond_n by_o order_n of_o law_n and_o enter_v his_o debt_n in_o the_o common_a record_n what_o shall_v he_o say_v more_o there_o be_v no_o shift_n for_o he_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o answer_v the_o debt_n out_o of_o hand_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v in_o the_o like_a plight_n for_o their_o wash_n of_o themselves_o when_o they_o go_v intoo_o the_o temple_n and_o in_o their_o own_o house_n and_o every_o where_o else_o be_v a_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o uncleanness_n in_o they_o again_o when_o they_o kill_v the_o beast_n and_o see_v they_o slay_v before_o they_o sure_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o lively_a picture_n of_o their_o own_o death_n and_o curse_a state_n and_o yet_o can_v not_o the_o brute_n beast_n nor_o the_o shed_n of_o their_o blood_n set_v they_o clear_a nor_o likewise_o the_o water_n which_o be_v a_o corruptible_a element_n and_o can_v come_v at_o the_o soul_n so_o then_o the_o wash_n which_o they_o use_v have_v be_v a_o fond_a thing_n if_o it_o have_v not_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o spiritual_a wash_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n likewise_o in_o baptism_n at_o these_o day_n if_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v make_v clean_o by_o the_o water_n what_o a_o abuse_n be_v it_o all_o these_o thing_n must_v serve_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n

to_o subjection_n unto_o god_n judgement_n and_o eternal_a death_n than_o the_o gentile_n be_v and_o so_o we_o see_v how_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o a_o bringer_n in_o of_o sin_n but_o a_o

the_o three_o to_o the_o roman_n â–ª_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a thing_n but_o the_o diversity_n of_o they_o be_v in_o this_o that_o such_o as_o misknowe_a themselves_o and_o be_v blind_v with_o

as_o though_o they_o be_v able_a too_o earn_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n at_o god_n hand_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n they_o that_o be_v needy_a yea_o or_o rather_o utter_o empty_a of_o themselves_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o grace_n in_o they_o they_o be_v of_o faith_n for_o why_o they_o forsake_v themselves_o and_o seek_v their_o rightuousnesse_n elsewhere_o they_o come_v and_o offer_v themselves_o like_o poor_a beggar_n unto_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v fill_v they_o whereas_o they_o be_v utter_o empty_a before_o therefore_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o scholepoynt_n that_o by_o the_o force_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v be_v quite_o rid_v of_o all_o selfetrust_a and_o of_o all_o overween_a of_o our_o own_o merit_n and_o have_v our_o whole_a refuge_n to_o god_n mere_a goodness_n but_o true_o we_o can_v come_v right_o forth_o unto_o god_n without_o some_o mean_a our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o make_v we_o way_n thither_o and_o all_o this_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o word_n faith_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o imagination_n of_o man_n own_o forge_n it_o be_v a_o assuredness_n which_o we_o conceyve_v of_o god_n goodness_n when_o he_o come_v to_o we_o and_o utter_v familiar_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v us._n then_o must_v the_o promise_n go_v before_o or_o else_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o follow_v of_o faith_n to_o be_v short_a whosoever_o have_v not_o be_v train_v in_o the_o gospel_n can_v have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o for_o god_n must_v first_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o love_v we_o or_o else_o we_o can_v rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n nor_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o this_o promise_n be_v god_n not_o only_o say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o but_o also_o tell_v we_o that_o although_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o accept_v we_o because_o he_o bury_v all_o our_o sin_n namely_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o sacrifice_n must_v needs_o come_v forth_o every_o where_n where_o any_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o forgive_n of_o sin_n never_o can_v there_o be_v any_o pardon_n get_v at_o god_n hand_n except_o there_o be_v bloudshede_v with_o it_o for_o a_o satisfaction_n so_o then_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o promise_n where_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o be_v christ_n shed_v of_o his_o blood_n to_o wash_v away_o our_o spot_n and_o his_o offer_v up_o of_o himself_o for_o a_o full_a amends_n to_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o that_o if_o we_o be_v of_o faith_n we_o have_v our_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o rest_n and_o quietness_n be_v altogether_o in_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_a too_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n also_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o to_o be_v bless_v and_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v all_o one_o thing_n according_o as_o s._n paul_n declare_v here_o hardly_o shall_v a_o man_n find_v one_o among_o thirty_o of_o such_o as_o be_v call_v christian_n that_o can_v skill_n to_o define_v this_o word_n justify_v and_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a shame_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o ear_n daily_o beat_v with_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n then_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o too_o have_v any_o rightuousnesse_n in_o a_o man_n self_n but_o to_o be_v admit_v for_o rightuous_a at_o god_n hand_n though_o we_o be_v not_o so_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o have_v a_o good_a open_n of_o this_o doctrine_n in_o that_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o the_o word_n bless_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o word_n justify_v which_o he_o have_v use_v afore_o according_a to_o the_o four_o of_o the_o roman_n 5._o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v us._n forsomuch_o then_o as_o god_n be_v favourable_a and_o love_a to_o we_o and_o receyve_v we_o as_o his_o child_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o he_o and_o why_o justify_v because_o he_o can_v love_v sinner_n till_o he_o have_v forgive_v their_o sin_n and_o put_v they_o quite_o away_o we_o know_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v rightuous_a he_o can_v agree_v with_o sin_n but_o must_v needs_o always_o hate_v it_o then_o since_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o have_v his_o favour_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v first_o clenze_v of_o our_o offence_n for_o so_o long_o as_o they_o come_v to_o reckon_v god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o curse_v us._n but_o contrariwize_v when_o he_o wipe_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n then_o receyve_v he_o we_o to_o mercy_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n do_v we_o begin_v to_o be_v bless_v of_o he_o be_v we_o then_o bless_v that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v love_v of_o god_n very_o we_o be_v therewithal_o justify_v also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v whereas_o
yet_o can_v he_o not_o love_n god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o it_o will_v behoove_v all_o our_o wit_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o love_n of_o he_o but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v if_o we_o cast_v not_o many_o vain_a look_n when_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n or_o if_o that_o when_o we_o open_v our_o ear_n we_o be_v not_o give_v too_o their_o much_o fond_a talk_n that_o tend_v not_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n or_o which_o be_v not_o utter_o void_a of_o sin_n if_o at_o leastwyse_o it_o be_v not_o wicked_a but_o how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o shall_v so_o dedicate_v our_o

but_o which_o worse_o be_v beside_o that_o we_o have_v our_o wit_n far_o hale_v and_o draw_v away_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n we_o see_v that_o they_o tickle_v we_o daily_o unto_o naughtiness_n and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o soon_o stir_v a_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v to_o put_v it_o too_o many_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o our_o foot_n of_o our_o eye_n and_o of_o our_o ear_n again_o what_o a_o dungeon_n be_v there_o in_o man_n hart_n what_o a_o number_n of_o croak_v lust_n be_v there_o so_o snarl_v one_o within_o another_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v find_v among_o they_o but_o confusion_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v upon_o very_o good_a cause_n that_o jeremie_n cry_v out_o 9_o o_o what_o a_o maze_n be_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o end_n nor_o measure_n to_o be_v see_v so_o that_o although_o a_o man_n shall_v sound_v and_o gage_v himself_o never_o so_o deep_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o

then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o god_n have_v beget_v we_o again_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o we_o strain_v ourselves_o to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o serve_v &_o honour_v he_o yet_o must_v we_o needs_o come_v far_o short_a of_o the_o end_n and_o be_v still_o but_o on_o our_o way_n thitherwarde_o yea_o and_o go_v always_o halt_v and_o moreover_o beside_o our_o

that_o all_o of_o we_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o seek_v our_o rightuousnesse_n else_o where_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o mere_a

we_o always_o surmise_v some_o value_n to_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o selfestimation_n or_o overween_a do_v so_o blind_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o

for_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o fashion_v himself_o to_o our_o ability_n it_o become_v we_o to_o regard_v what_o we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o do_v who_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v step_v up_o and_o

not_o seek_v any_o other_o mean_v to_o be_v save_v than_o by_o his_o only_a grace_n but_o s._n paul_n have_v speak_v more_o brief_o here_o because_o he_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o all_o that_o i_o

we_o the_o contrary_a i_o say_v it_o teach_v we_o it_o to_o the_o end_n too_o show_v we_o that_o to_o seek_v it_o thorough_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o life_n in_o us._n the_o law_n than_o say_v unto_o we_o go_v to_o take_v you_o pain_n and_o do_v you_o so_o much_o as_o you_o may_v win_v heaven_n by_o it_o and_o why_o do_v the_o law_n

they_o to_o receyve_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o lowliness_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o we_o keep_v ourselves_o aloof_o from_o god_n and_o every_o man_n bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v accept_v of_o he_o our_o lord_n will_v sure_o be_v advenge_v of_o such_o presumptuousnesse_n and_o say_v go_v to_o let_v i_o see_v what_o you_o have_v do_v come_v on_o and_o let_v we_o fall_v to_o reckon_v and_o let_v he_o that_o owe_v aught_o to_o other_o pay_v it_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v by_o i_o i_o have_v

what_o plight_n we_o be_v for_o when_o we_o once_o perceive_v our_o own_o need_n then_o will_v we_o seek_v our_o want_n at_o his_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n lead_v we_o to_o faith_n but_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o lead_v howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v there_o be_v always_o this_o contrariety_n which_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o namely_o that_o we_o can_v be_v

that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o us._n now_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v stretch_v this_o say_n of_o abacuck_n too_o far_o see_v he_o speak_v there_o but_o of_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n the_o rightuous_a shall_v live_v that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o shall_v hold_v out_o and_o although_o god_n afflict_v he_o &_o scourge_v he_o yet_o shall_v he_o not_o quail_v if_o he_o ground_n himself_o upon_o god_n promise_n and_o here_o the_o case_n concern_v not_o god_n comfort_v and_o deliver_v of_o we_o from_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a in_o this_o world_n but_o it_o concern_v our_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o far_o pass_v all_o the_o state_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n it_o seem_v therefore_o that_o s._n paul_n appli_v not_o this_o text_n of_o the_o prophet_n aright_o howbeit_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o the_o prophet_n have_v look_v no_o further_a than_o too_o this_o world_n that_o say_v of_o his_o have_v be_v very_o vain_a see_v that_o affliction_n be_v common_a both_o to_o good_a and_o bad_a again_o how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o live_v by_o faith_n see_v we_o be_v continual_o subject_a to_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o danger_n
let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o mercy_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o seek_v it_o in_o his_o name_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o any_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o

we_o have_v full_a certainty_n that_o god_n will_v always_o hear_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o merciful_a and_o favourable_a towards_o we_o namely_o if_o we_o rest_v whole_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o which_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forbear_v not_o even_o to_o become_v accurse_v for_o our_o sake_n here_o withal_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n come_v untoo_o the_o gentyle_n as_o it_o have_v be_v give_v untoo_o abraham_n now_o by_o name_v abraham_n here_o he_o show_v that_o the_o promise_n belong_v first_o and_o forme_v too_o those_o that_o come_v of_o his_o race_n for_o the_o jew_n have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a interest_n in_o the_o heritage_n of_o

the_o redemption_n that_o be_v purchace_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o then_o although_o the_o say_a promise_n belong_v too_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n peculiar_a too_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o after_o they_o make_v common_a too_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o why_o for_o it_o consist_v in_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o ceremony_n by_o this_o word_n spirit_n saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o deface_v all_o the_o false_a opinion_n of_o those_o deceyver_n which_o mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n toogither_o he_o show_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n namely_o the_o

because_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v abolish_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o promise_n be_v at_o this_o day_n call_v spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o need_n of_o the_o old_a shadow_n and_o figure_n but_o be_v simple_o call_v and_o guide_v to_o our_o god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o with_o full_a trust_n and_o be_v so_o adopt_v by_o

s._n paul_n mean_v too_o say_v in_o this_o text_n and_o hereupon_o he_o use_v another_o reason_n too_o show_v that_o we_o have_v our_o salvation_n perfect_o revel_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o need_v not_o any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o that_o and_o also_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n for_o the_o law_n say_v he_o be_v give_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n after_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n now_o when_o any_o covenant_n be_v make_v though_o it_o be_v but_o between_o man_n yet_o ought_v it_o too_o be_v keep_v if_o it_o be_v once_o thorough_o agree_v upon_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o give_v too_o disanuall_a the_o covenant_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o abraham_n chief_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o his_o lineage_n and_o final_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v this_o argument_n of_o saint_n paul_n may_v seem_v very_o weak_a for_o we_o know_v that_o second_o covenante_n do_v always_o repeal_v former_a covenante_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o man_n have_v make_v any_o bargain_n yet_o they_o may_v advyze_v themselves_o better_a and_o thereupon_o change_v their_o mind_n and_o so_o the_o first_o bargain_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o law_n and_o statute_n for_o a_o former_a law_n may_v well_o be_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v by_o a_o second_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o promise_v yea_o and_o solemn_o bind_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o go_v back_o again_o but_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n howbeit_o if_o both_o the_o party_n agree_v too_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v consent_v on_o and_o be_v both_o of_o one_o mind_n then_o may_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v no_o fit_a similitude_n too_o take_v man_n that_o be_v fickleminded_a and_o changeable_a through_o lightness_n or_o by_o better_a advice_n but_o s._n paul_n presuppose_v a_o covenant_n too_o be_v make_v by_o a_o man_n that_o will_v stand_v to_o it_o and_o not_o fall_v too_o scan_v afterward_o how_o to_o shift_v it_o off_o by_o any_o mean_n at_o all_o for_o if_o any_o of_o the_o party_n shall_v do_v against_o the_o former_a covenant_n it_o be_v a_o falsehood_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o among_o man_n because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enregister_v so_o solemn_o aught_o to_o be_v stand_v too_o and_o perform_v without_o any_o gaynsay_n now_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v less_o steadfastness_n in_o god_n than_o in_o man_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n the_o gospel_n therefore_o must_v continue_v unimpeach_v notwithstanding_o that_o the_o law_n come_v in_o after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n this_o will_v be_v still_o dark_a if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v in_o order_n i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o what_o comparison_n s._n paul_n make_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v salvation_n in_o his_o law_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o man_n serve_v he_o and_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v we_o shut_v out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o law_n not_o that_o god_n be_v not_o faithful_a on_o his_o side_n but_o because_o we_o keep_v not_o touch_v with_o he_o in_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o sell_v you_o this_o thing_n so_o you_o bring_v i_o money_n now_o if_o a_o man_n bring_v neither_o money_n nor_o money_n worth_a he_o can_v not_o be_v put_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v for_o the_o condition_n be_v that_o he_o must_v first_o pay_v for_o it_o so_o then_o god_n promise_v we_o the_o heritage_n of_o salvation_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v serve_v he_o but_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o because_o it_o be_v but_o upon_o condition_n that_o we_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fraught_v with_o all_o iniquity_n and_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o uncleanness_n and_o filth_n in_o somuche_o that_o we_o be_v just_o odious_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v in_o the_o law_n howbeit_o god_n receyve_v we_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o he_o offer_v we_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o will_v have_v we_o so_o too_o embrace_v his_o offer_a goodness_n as_o we_o shall_v hold_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o utter_o renounce_v ourselves_o but_o now_o say_v saint_n paul_n let_v we_o see_v whither_o go_v before_o other_o in_o antiquity_n the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n or_o the_o law_n we_o know_v the_o diversity_n that_o be_v betwixt_o they_o then_o if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o auncient_a it_o may_v seem_v that_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v stick_v too_o because_o god_n do_v never_o unsay_v his_o word_n neither_o be_v variable_a but_o if_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v the_o elder_a and_o be_v make_v before_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o god_n repent_v he_o not_o ne_o call_v back_o his_o promise_n at_o that_o time_n ne_o mean_v to_o disannul_v the_o say_a covenant_n for_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o diminish_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o have_v first_o bind_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o promise_v man_n salvation_n without_o their_o desert_n and_o afterward_o intend_v to_o restrain_v it_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v to_o enrich_v himself_o with_o our_o good_a work_n it_o be_v a_o auk_fw-mi thing_n too_o talk_v after_o that_o fashion_n for_o saint_n paul_n show_v
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

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 woâ—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

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 â–ª_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

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

to_o lament_v their_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v rest_v themselves_o whole_o upon_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o do_v they_o it_o not_o till_o god_n have_v strike_v

therefore_o we_o need_v no_o schol_n to_o persuade_v we_o that_o we_o be_v able_a folk_n &_o that_o we_o can_v bind_v god_n to_o we_o by_o our_o virtuous_a do_n but_o contrariwise_o god_n have_v

and_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o accuse_v and_o condemn_v all_o man_n from_o the_o most_o to_o the_o
outward_a government_n and_o the_o better_a to_o express_v that_o he_o allege_v a_o similitude_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o for_o if_o a_o father_n leave_v his_o child_n fatherless_a and_o under_o year_n of_o discretion_n he_o will_v appoint_v tutor_n and_o governor_n of_o they_o till_o they_o come_v too_o full_a age_n when_o the_o father_n be_v decease_a his_o

nevertheless_o they_o have_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o themselves_o but_o in_o stead_n of_o follow_v their_o wanton_a appetite_n man_n give_v they_o schoolebutter_n with_o a_o rod_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o although_o the_o child_n be_v heir_n yet_o have_v they_o not_o liberty_n at_o the_o first_o day_n because_o they_o be_v too_o weak_a and_o have_v neither_o wisdom_n nor_o discretion_n now_o according_a to_o this_o similitude_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o father_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o jew_n which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n be_v god_n child_n and_o heir_n as_o well_o as_o

and_o to_o the_o order_n which_o he_o have_v establish_v and_o so_o we_o see_v whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a importance_n to_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o newcome_a thing_n as_o though_o god_n have_v sudden_o bethink_v he_o to_o remedy_v the_o destruction_n of_o mankind_n for_o christ_n have_v that_o power_n from_o the_o

the_o mean_n of_o faith_n faith_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v his_o foundation_n and_o buttress_n in_o respect_n whereof_o also_o the_o apostle_n say_v 4_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v yesterday_o be_v also_o to_o day_n and_o shall_v be_v still_o to_o the_o end_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v well_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n as_o a_o thing_n undoubted_a &_o out_o of_o all_o question_n namely_o that_o we_o in_o these_o day_n have_v not_o any_o new_a hope_n of_o attain_v to_o salvation_n but_o the_o very_a same_o that_o have_v be_v at_o all_o time_n heretofore_o and_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o a_o newfound_a doctrine_n forge_v within_o these_o few_o year_n but_o the_o very_a same_o doctrine_n wherein_o all_o the_o rightuous_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v be_v instruct_v and_o true_o it_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o that_o we_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o adoption_n when_o we_o once_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o s._n paul_n intend_v to_o rebuke_v the_o folly_n &_o presumptuousnes_n that_o be_v in_o the_o jew_n for_o that_o they_o boast_v always_o of_o their_o earthly_a lineage_n he_o show_v that_o in_o this_o behalf_n we_o must_v have_v respect_n of_o nothing_o but_o of_o the_o incorruptible_a seed_n of_o god_n word_n whereby_o we_o be_v beget_v new_a again_o now_o when_o god_n adopt_v we_o and_o receive_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n they_o do_v he_o avow_v we_o to_o be_v the_o spiritual_a offspring_n of_o abraham_n how_o then_o can_v we_o be_v abraham_n child_n except_o we_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o faith_n you_o see_v then_o that_o paul_n handle_v of_o this_o point_n here_o be_v to_o good_a purpose_n namely_o to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o from_o all_o time_n out_o of_o mind_n then_o have_v not_o be_v any_o other_o mean_a to_o renew_v man_n to_o salvation_n and_o too_o bring_v they_o into_o god_n favour_n and_o love_n than_o by_o trust_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o flee_v altogether_o unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o young_a child_n be_v master_n of_o the_o house_n and_o that_o the_o inheritance_n belong_v to_o they_o though_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o enjoy_v it_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o age_n and_o here_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v further_o that_o it_o be_v great_a wrong_n to_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n to_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o the_o fellowship_n and_o onement_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v show_v here_o by_o saint_n paul_n for_o their_o life_n be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a because_o god_n keep_v they_o occupy_v with_o many_o affliction_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o father_n special_o of_o those_o who_o god_n mark_v out_o too_o make_v they_o excellent_a be_v all_o mirror_n of_o invincible_a patience_n for_o what_o thing_n endure_v abraham_n how_o hard_a and_o great_a encounter_n do_v he_o hear_v out_o what_o manner_n of_o temptation_n do_v isaac_n and_o likewise_o jacob_n abide_v again_o what_o virtue_n see_v we_o in_o david_n now_o if_o they_o have_v set_v their_o mind_n upon_o this_o world_n they_o have_v be_v in_o worse_a plight_n than_o the_o brute_n beast_n therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o look_v high_o and_o that_o do_v they_o witness_v sufficient_o not_o only_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n but_o also_o by_o deed_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o point_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o father_n hope_v for_o the_o selfsame_o heritage_n that_o we_o look_v for_o even_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o agree_v with_o abraham_n david_n &_o the_o other_o holy_a king_n &_o prophet_n in_o faith_n we_o shall_v be_v gather_v into_o the_o heavenly_a life_n with_o they_o &_o obtain_v the_o same_o crown_n of_o salvation_n with_o they_o 9_o which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o faith_n as_o s._n peter_n term_v it_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n furthermore_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n he_o do_v it_o always_o to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n towards_o we_o and_o the_o

we_o that_o god_n have_v advance_v we_o to_o a_o high_a degree_n by_o the_o gospel_n than_o ever_o abraham_n come_v unto_o for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v he_o be_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n but_o we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v free_a from_o it_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n have_v exalt_v we_o above_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n and_o well_o ought_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o grace_n and_o to_o esteem_v it_o as_o it_o deserve_v to_o the_o end_n weâ—â—â—ay_v give_v ourselves_o to_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n with_o the_o earnest_a affection_n and_o zele_n 4._o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o s._n paul_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o any_o several_a person_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o he_o ought_v to_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v much_o raw_a and_o weak_a in_o faith_n then_o be_v the_o prophet_n and_o patriarch_n and_o that_o do_v their_o life_n show_v full_a well_o then_o if_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o such_o perfection_n as_o they_o be_v how_o be_v it_o say_v that_o they_o be_v as_o little_a child_n and_o that_o we_o be_v nowadays_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o state_n of_o man_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o how_o s._n paul_n speak_v not_o of_o one_o man_n or_o other_o but_o of_o the_o common_a government_n of_o the_o church_n for_o he_o

how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o he_o which_o be_v lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n take_v that_o subjection_n upon_o he_o to_o set_v we_o free_a from_o it_o for_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v circumcyze_v and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o keep_v diligent_o all_o that_o belong_v too_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n not_o that_o he_o

savore_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o christianity_n therefore_o man_n vice_n must_v be_v rebuke_v and_o we_o must_v labour_v too_o bring_v back_o the_o party_n intoo_o the_o right_a way_n which_o be_v

sink_v he_o the_o deep_a in_o destruction_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mean_v which_o saint_n paul_n have_v appoint_v be_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o he_o shall_v be_v amend_v howbeit_o that_o the_o same_o must_v be_v do_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o gentleness_n and_o meekness_n he_o can_v well_o enough_o have_v use_v the_o word_n meekness_n without_o the_o word_n spirit_n

here_o of_o such_o as_o stand_v upon_o the_o say_a point_n 3._o that_o man_n ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v circumcise_v 6._o for_o at_o some_o time_n saint_n paul_n have_v a_o special_a regard_n

no_o bond_n of_o necessity_n in_o the_o matter_n so_o then_o when_o saint_n paul_n submit_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o bring_v other_o man_n in_o bondage_n according_a as_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o bind_v any_o body_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o case_n be_v alter_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o marriage_n but_o yet_o he_o say_v general_o 35_o that_o he_o will_v not_o lay_v any_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n upon_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v redeem_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n behave_v himself_o
