obstinate_a blindness_n of_o the_o world_n we_o have_v song_n unto_o you_o and_o you_o will_v not_o dance_v and_o at_o our_o lamentable_a song_n you_o will_v not_o lament_v for_o neither_o can_v the_o

forth_o with_o other_o word_n and_o other_o person_n for_o the_o last_o sunday_n you_o hear_v how_o all_o the_o matter_n consist_v in_o this_o point_n that_o we_o have_v chief_a respect_n unto_o

his_o disciple_n for_o this_o cause_n unto_o he_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o lack_v so_o great_a a_o treasure_n and_o goodness_n this_o do_v god_n well_o perceive_v christ._n that_o this_o be_v our_o fault_n to_o be_v desirous_a to_o serche_n out_o many_o way_n and_o one_o for_o the_o love_n of_o monkery_n become_v a_o monk_n a_o other_o fa_v a_o other_o slepe_v on_o the_o ground_n and_o so_o every_o man_n follow_v his_o own_o devise_n and_o go_v forth_o in_o his_o own_o way_n that_o may_v bring_v he_o to_o heaven_n wherefore_o god_n talk_v with_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o protest_v that_o he_o allow_v not_o that_o as_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o but_o that_o he_o put_v forth_o his_o word_n to_o show_v we_o the_o true_a way_n that_o be_v his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n salvation_n

which_o out_o of_o measure_n wrought_v and_o suffer_v many_o thing_n but_o here_o they_o do_v all_o despair_n of_o their_o own_o rightuousnes_n and_o take_v hold_v by_o that_o seed_n with_o a_o firm_a faith_n that_o shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n but_o the_o jew_n will_v not_o walk_v in_o this_o way_n they_o can_v not_o believe_v 3._o that_o there_o be_v such_o help_n in_o a_o carpenter_n think_n this_o with_o themselves_o we_o must_v so_o work_v by_o fast_o alm_n &_o prayer_n that_o we_o may_v be_v with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o think_v that_o this_o craftesman_n can_v save_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n take_v this_o order_n john_n that_o john_n shall_v come_v as_o a_o trompetter_n before_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_a of_o the_o trumpet_n that_o all_o

of_o his_o promise_n wherefore_o whenne_v this_o think_v come_v upon_o thou_o suspect_v it_o as_o thou_o will_v suspect_v the_o devyl_n lest_o thou_o be_v therewith_o deceive_v and_o say_v thou_o what_o be_v that_o to_o i_o that_o i_o be_o neither_o peter_n nor_o paul_n if_o god_n will_v have_v give_v this_o gift_n to_o they_o only_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v find_v worthy_a he_o will_v have_v give_v it_o to_o the_o angel_n to_o the_o son_n and_o unto_o the_o moon_n for_o they_o be_v pure_a and_o undefyled_a creature_n which_o always_o obey_v god_n and_o never_o do_v decline_v and_o

wherefore_o although_o i_o be_o neither_o peter_n nor_o paul_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o suffer_v myself_o to_o be_v put_v beside_o this_o gift_n but_o will_v challenge_v as_o much_o thereof_o for_o my_o

other_o work_n wherewith_o the_o devil_n vex_v we_o most_o miserable_a man_n to_o the_o destroy_n of_o this_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v nothing_o else_o requisite_a but_o the_o word_n of_o

and_o moment_n he_o will_v have_v the_o sycke_n child_n make_v whole_a so_o we_o also_o must_v not_o doubt_n but_o that_o christ_n will_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o help_v we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o ask_v it_o of_o he_o and_o trust_v sure_o for_o it_o of_o he_o world_n for_o to_o this_o intent_n be_v he_o send_v and_o come_v into_o the_o earth_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n &_o death_n to_o
