19_o be_v then_o very_a god_n and_o very_a man_n of_o two_o diverse_a nature_n the_o one_o divine_a and_o the_o other_o human_a which_o be_v conjoin_v and_o unite_v together_o inseparable_o without_o

against_o which_o no_o other_o thing_n can_v resist_v it_o be_v write_v that_o alexander_n have_v conceive_v a_o great_a hatred_n against_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n 8._o be_v full_o resolve_v

and_o show_v he_o great_a honour_n and_o great_a love_n to_o the_o country_n and_o give_v great_a gift_n to_o the_o temple_n now_o if_o a_o enemy_n so_o furious_a and_o terrible_a be_v so_o sudden_o

notwithstanding_o all_o this_o we_o be_v hold_v and_o repute_v for_o righteous_a before_o god_n and_o be_v allow_v and_o receive_v of_o he_o for_o his_o child_n and_o heir_n when_o we_o be_v provide_v of_o this_o righteousness_n and_o when_o we_o be_v clothe_v with_o it_o he_o give_v we_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o lead_v we_o and_o conduct_v we_o as_o a_o schoolmaster_n do_v his_o child_n and_o for_o to_o sanctify_v instruct_v and_o strengthen_v we_o in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o that_o this_o be_v true_a s._n paul_n write_v 22._o not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n that_o his_o faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n as_o he_o be_v if_o we_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n also_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o reconcile_v the_o world_n to_o himself_o 19_o not_o impute_v their_o sin_n unto_o they_o and_o join_v both_o these_o part_n together_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v to_o they_o speak_v of_o their_o life_n that_o they_o have_v be_v altogether_o lead_v in_o wickedness_n and_o be_v dissolute_a in_o all_o kind_n of_o mischief_n but_o that_o they_o be_v now_o wash_v 11._o justify_v and_o sanctify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o through_o the_o spirit_n of_o god._n now_o if_o we_o will_v know_v by_o what_o mean_v this_o be_v do_v

we_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o shall_v remain_v still_o with_o we_o and_o look_v by_o the_o self_n same_o grace_n that_o they_o be_v free_o bestow_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o same_o they_o shall_v

and_o in_o the_o end_n glorify_v if_o these_o four_o point_n wherein_o be_v contain_v the_o whole_a sum_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o god_n his_o child_n be_v so_o chain_v in_o order_n one_o to_o the_o other_o by_o a_o immutable_a decree_n of_o god_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o as_o our_o election_n be_v sure_a stable_a &_o permanent_a so_o also_o be_v the_o other_o effect_n that_o do_v necessary_o follow_v it_o also_o that_o which_o s._n john_n say_v in_o his_o first_o epistle_n 18._o that_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o and_o the_o wicked_a touch_v he_o not_o also_o that_o goodly_a protestation_n that_o the_o apostle_n make_v for_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o faithful_a 38._o with_o so_o great_a assurance_n i_o be_o say_v he_o certain_a that_o there_o be_v

be_v rehearse_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n it_o appear_v plain_o that_o faith_n be_v once_o give_v we_o of_o god_n it_o shall_v never_o be_v quite_o take_v away_o from_o we_o and_o so_o by_o

and_o heinous_a sin_n one_o after_o a_o other_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o there_o remain_v always_o in_o his_o heart_n a_o certain_a remnant_a of_o it_o which_o for_o a_o time_n be_v hide_v as_o fire_n

when_o a_o candle_n be_v put_v out_o we_o must_v judge_v then_o of_o our_o faith_n as_o of_o a_o tree_n which_o in_o wiuter_n seem_v to_o be_v dead_a because_o it_o have_v no_o fruit_n nor_o leaf_n

it_o be_v needful_a to_o consider_v one_o wonderful_a thing_n to_o wit_n how_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v one_o only_o may_v be_v also_o entire_o distribute_v to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o member_n without_o be_v divide_v and_o sunder_v in_o any_o respect_n to_o answer_v this_o point_n a_o man_n may_v say_v of_o it_o as_o certain_a philosopher_n have_v say_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n soul_n which_o be_v whole_o throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o in_o every_o part_n a_o like_a even_o so_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whole_o in_o the_o body_n

whole_a stout_a and_o of_o courage_n to_o do_v all_o their_o office_n and_o duty_n the_o which_o thing_n a_o man_n may_v understand_v by_o two_o similitude_n one_o be_v of_o the_o voice_n which_o be_v
