this_o therefore_o be_v a_o infastible_a order_n that_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a receive_v god_n grace_n and_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n hold_v jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o head_n too_o the_o

the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o when_o man_n go_v about_o too_o seek_v god_n they_o enter_v into_o a_o terrible_a maze_n unless_o jesus_n christ_n be_v their_o way_n and_o leader_n thus_o we_o see_v now_o whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z and_o it_o be_v add_v also_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o only_o for_o this_o world_n but_o also_o for_o the_o other_o whereby_o be_v mean_v that_o the_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v suffice_v we_o for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n now_o it_o shall_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o there_o be_v some_o contrariety_n between_o this_o text_n and_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o fifteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n too_o the_o corinthian_n for_o there_o he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n too_o god_n his_o father_n of_o who_o he_o hold_v it_o and_o here_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v establish_v in_o all_o authority_n yea_o even_o for_o the_o world_n too_o come_v but_o these_o two_o agree_v very_o well_o for_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n that_o be_v because_o of_o our_o rudeness_n and_o infirmity_n according_a also_o as_o when_o he_o be_v call_v god_n lieutenant_n that_o be_v because_o we_o can_v not_o be_v in_o rest_n except_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v his_o hand_n stretch_v out_o too_o succour_v we_o at_o our_o need_n and_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o better_a in_o jesus_n christ_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v come_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o be_v become_v our_o brother_n god_n than_o do_v not_o so_o reign_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o shall_v give_v over_o his_o own_o office_n and_o sit_v idle_a in_o heaven_n himself_o it_o be_v a_o lewd_a dotage_n too_o think_v so_o and_o true_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o s._n john_n my_o father_n and_o i_o say_v he_o have_v always_o our_o hand_n at_o work_n there_o he_o show_v that_o the_o ordain_v of_o he_o too_o be_v ruler_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n sit_v unoccupied_a in_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v say_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n be_v continual_o near_a at_o hand_n too_o we_o when_o we_o seek_v he_o in_o faith_n at_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o after_o the_o judgement_n we_o shall_v have_v new_a eye_n as_z sai_v s._n john_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o god_n 2._o and_o be_v transfigure_v into_o his_o glory_n we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v which_o thing_n we_o can_v not_o do_v now_o because_o we_o have_v too_o dull_a wit_n wherefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o now_o 12._o that_o we_o behold_v he_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n and_o dark_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n and_o that_o we_o know_v he_o in_o part_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o yield_v up_o of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v behold_v god_n majesty_n and_o substance_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a too_o we_o as_o now_o for_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o nature_n change_v and_o we_o shall_v be_v new_a fashion_v in_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o and_o clean_o rid_v of_o all_o the_o corruption_n wherewith_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o as_o now_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v abse_z for_o he_o shall_v be_v then_o much_o better_a in_o his_o perfection_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o colossian_n that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o god_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n appear_v they_o shall_v our_o life_n be_v discover_v likewise_o too_o be_v short_a when_o we_o be_v come_v too_o the_o soverein_o bliss_n that_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v the_o thing_n that_o lie_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o hope_n &_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v gather_v all_o thing_n too_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v then_o partaker_n of_o his_o glory_n every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o degree_n and_o measure_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o these_o two_o text_n agree_v very_o well_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v give_v christ_n a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n and_o also_o that_o he_o shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o why_o for_o we_o shall_v then_o see_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o conceive_v as_o now_o because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a also_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o whereas_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v be_v so_o glorify_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o be_v god_n of_o oneself_o same_o substance_n with_o his_o father_n this_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v full_o know_v then_o whereas_o now_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a shadow_n of_o it_o furthermore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v by_o god_n his_o father_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o advancement_n shall_v serve_v too_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ix_o of_o isaiah_n he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o for_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o also_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o there_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o hide_a and_o which_o we_o taste_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o part_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o full_a possession_n of_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v give_v too_o he_o already_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n have_v purposely_o make_v express_a mention_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v he_o add_v immediate_o that_o god_n have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n his_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v too_o show_v that_o what_o soever_o thing_n we_o have_v need_n of_o if_o we_o can_v resort_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v able_a too_o succour_v we_o for_o he_o have_v wherewith_o too_o do_v it_o yea_o and_o
and_o therefore_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a either_o for_o the_o present_a life_n or_o for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n either_o for_o our_o body_n or_o for_o our_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o run_v too_o s._n peter_n nor_o too_o s._n paul_n but_o we_o must_v go_v straight_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n second_o also_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v rule_v and_o too_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v show_v ourselves_o too_o be_v true_a member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o he_o can_v be_v our_o head_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o therewithal_o be_v our_o shepherd_n too_o and_o have_v all_o authority_n over_o we_o but_o like_a as_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v labour_v too_o deface_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n only_a son_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o angel_n so_o on_o the_o otherside_n he_o have_v send_v we_o a_o idol_n into_o the_o world_n too_o be_v a_o bar_n in_o our_o way_n that_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o we_o for_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o ashamed_a too_o spew_v out_o this_o blasphemy_n that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o headless_a body_n if_o he_o himself_o reign_v not_o over_o it_o ne_o have_v the_o universal_a dominion_n of_o it_o so_o as_o every_o man_n look_v at_o he_o and_o his_o seat_n be_v above_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v no_o more_o too_o do_v here_o but_o aught_o too_o hold_v he_o content_v with_o heaven_n and_o let_v his_o successor_n alone_o too_o rule_v in_o his_o stead_n but_o herein_o we_o see_v how_o he_o ●uershoots_v himself_o to_o abolish_v the_o whole_a sovereignty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o bear_v well_o this_o text_n in_o mind_n wherein_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appoint_v too_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o pope_n will_v affirm_v himself_o too_o be_v but_o as_o a_o underhead_n and_o therefore_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o thrust_v out_o of_o his_o place_n but_o let_v we_o look_v back_o too_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v have_v no_o imaginative_a title_n but_o will_v have_v his_o power_n reserve_v unto_o he_o which_o belong_v unto_o he_o for_o a_o head_n require_v not_o only_o too_o be_v set_v high_a but_o also_o too_o have_v all_o man_n too_o receive_v all_o thing_n from_o he_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o all_o too_o understand_v and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o very_a root_n of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o fountain_n from_o whence_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o draw_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o spiritual_a benefit_n and_o good_n among_o we_o by_o such_o channel_n or_o conduit_n as_o he_o think_v good_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v yet_o further_o brief_o too_o bear_v in_o mind_n this_o matter_n be_v lay_v forth_o more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o first_o chapter_n too_o the_o colossian_n for_o s._n paul_n show_v there_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 18._o be_v appoint_v too_o be_v the_o head_n even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n forsomuchas_fw-es all_o thing_n be_v create_v in_o he_o and_o not_o alone_a forsomuchas_fw-es he_o be_v our_o redeemer_n at_o this_o day_n for_o put_v the_o

the_o angel_n be_v create_v and_o in_o he_o they_o have_v their_o be_v or_o abide_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v cease_v to_o have_v have_v all_o pre-eminence_n both_o above_o and_o beneath_o though_o we_o have_v not_o fall_v with_o our_o father_n adam_n into_o such_o confusion_n as_o we_o be_v in_o but_o now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v our_o head_n after_o another_o manner_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o make_v we_o at_o one_o again_o with_o god_n his_o father_n and_o too_o gather_v we_o together_o again_o unto_o he_o from_o who_o we_o be_v estrange_v by_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o be_v our_o deadly_a enemy_n till_o we_o be_v bring_v in_o favour_n again_o by_o mean_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o forgive_a we_o our_o sin_n

thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v knit_v with_o the_o angel_n with_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o with_o the_o prophet_n with_o condition_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v

it_o be_v a_o bereave_v he_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n his_o father_n have_v give_v too_o he_o alone_o let_v we_o be_v content_v that_o he_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o all_o his_o benefit_n upon_o condition_n that_o we_o acknowledge_v all_o thing_n too_o come_v from_o he_o and_o seek_v all_o thing_n in_o he_o for_o in_o the_o five_o and_o fortith_a psalm_n it_o be_v well_o show_v 8._o that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o fellow_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o we_o receive_v some_o portion_n of_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o

too_o humble_v we_o and_o afterward_o ●oo_o exalt_v we_o again_o therefore_o we_o must_v on_o the_o one_o side_n confess_v that_o all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o wit_n which_o we_o have_v do_v fail_v we_o

as_o ourselves_o then_o if_o we_o think_v too_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n and_o charity_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o the_o world_n may_v like_v well_o of_o we_o but_o all_o our_o

work_v all_o our_o work_v by_o she_o now_o then_o see_v that_o love_n be_v the_o true_a perfection_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o import_v for_o if_o a_o man_n brag_v that_o he_o have_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v neither_o lowliness_n nor_o gentleness_n nor_o patience_n he_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o liar_n who_o not_o

show_v we_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o namely_o first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o must_v beat_v down_o this_o pride_n which_o beguile_v we_o and_o make_v we_o doss_n with_o our_o horn_n against_o god_n

in_o such_o wise_n as_o all_o pride_n may_v be_v correct_v in_o we_o and_o therewithal_o enforce_v ourselves_o always_o too_o humility_n that_o we_o may_v be_v kind_a heart_a and_o fellowlyke_a with_o the_o faithful_a which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o the_o very_a heathen_a man_n have_v the_o skill_n too_o say_v that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n too_o see_v the_o vice_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a towards_o other_o for_o why_o i_o have_v need_n too_o be_v bear_v withal_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o do_v not_o the_o

too_o god_n his_o father_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v in_o speak_v of_o the_o say_a measure_n now_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o mark_v well_o how_o he_o say_v that_o

rest_n but_o rather_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o misery_n be_v prepare_v for_o we_o without_o cease_v or_o number_n wherefore_o let_v we_o be_v arm_v too_o abide_v they_o and_o too_o overcome_v they_o and_o it_o be_v no_o plead_v against_o god_n will_v in_o this_o behalf_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o he_o can_v handle_v we_o much_o gently_o and_o that_o he_o can_v so_o set_v we_o alone_o by_o ourselves_o as_o our_o enemy_n shall_v not_o come_v at_o we_o nor_o we_o suffer_v any_o vexation_n but_o it_o like_v he_o not_o too_o do_v so_o therefore_o we_o must_v bow_v down_o our_o neck_n and_o every_o of_o we_o buckle_v himself_o too_o the_o battle_n that_o god_n call_v we_o unto_o for_o as_o say_v saint_n peter_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v much_o precious_a than_o gold_n and_o silver_n 7._o shall_v be_v try_v see_v that_o a_o corruptible_a mettle_n be_v fyne_v by_o fire_n shall_v our_o faith_n which_o be_v much_o more_o excellent_a be_v keep_v from_o come_v too_o his_o pureness_n and_o perfection_n therefore_o let_v we_o think_v well_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o we_o must_v finish_v thing_n or_o go_v through_o with_o they_o and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v cocker_v himself_o when_o he_o have_v hold_v his_o own_o for_o a_o while_n and_o take_v great_a pain_n in_o employ_v himself_o too_o god_n seruis_fw-la but_o that_o he_o shall_v walk_v on_o still_o to_o the_o end_n &_o put_v the_o thing_n in_o ure_n which_o s._n paul_n show_v we_o in_o another_o place_n 13._o even_o by_o his_o own_o example_n for_o although_o he_o have_v do_v so_o notable_a thing_n as_o a_o man_n may_v say_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v hold_v he_o quite_o &_o give_v he_o some_o rest_n for_o his_o often_o fight_a both_o by_o sea_n and_o by_o land_n divers_a way_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v he_o forget_v all_o that_o be_v past_a and_o strain_v and_o enforce_v himself_o still_o forward_o till_o he_o may_v attain_v too_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o what_o cause_v a_o number_n too_o take_v so_o great_a liberty_n but_o that_o they_o think_v themselves_o too_o have_v do_v enough_o and_o may_v give_v other_o leave_v too_o take_v their_o turn_n why_o not_o say_v they_o it_o be_v now_o a_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n that_o i_o have_v take_v extreme_a pain_n without_o cease_v and_o the_o world_n have_v see_v my_o faithfulness_n zeal_n and_o care_v which_o i_o have_v have_v too_o serve_v god_n and_o my_o diligence_n in_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o my_o charge_n require_v and_o thereupon_o they_o conclude_v that_o now_o therefore_o they_o may_v well_o take_v rest_n we_o must_v not_o so_o indent_v with_o god_n but_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v do_v we_o must_v forget_v that_o which_o be_v behind_o say_v saint_n paul_n and_o look_v forward_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v yet_o too_o come_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o infirmity_n in_o we_o still_o and_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o thorough_o well_o fyne_v but_o that_o it_o have_v need_v too_o be_v bring_v ageien_fw-fr too_o the_o furnace_n and_o the_o fire_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v out_o till_o we_o have_v finish_v all_o thing_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o all_o that_o have_v live_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o god_n we_o die_v likewise_o when_o it_o please_v he_o and_o according_a too_o his_o will_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o live_v in_o awe_n of_o he_o but_o we_o must_v also_o even_o in_o our_o death_n yield_v record_n that_o we_o be_v whole_o he_o and_o we_o must_v not_o covet_v too_o live_v here_o until_o we_o be_v weary_a of_o our_o life_n but_o we_o must_v always_o have_v one_o foot_n lift_v up_o too_o depart_v when_o it_o please_v god_n so_o then_o all_o be_v then_o finish_v when_o we_o have_v linger_v in_o this_o world_n as_o long_o as_o please_v god_n and_o every_o man_n endeavour_v too_o live_v according_a too_o his_o call_n and_o be_v

we_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o yield_v up_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n into_o god_n hand_n therefore_o let_v we_o stand_v fast_o say_v s._n paul_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o we_o may_v be_v

righteousness_n with_o truth_n with_o god_n word_n and_o with_o the_o gospel_n now_o we_o must_v not_o be_v curious_a in_o seek_v here_o why_o saint_n paul_n give_v the_o title_n of_o helmet_n too_o one_o the_o title_n of_o breastplate_n too_o another_o and_o the_o title_n of_o shield_n too_o another_o for_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n too_o the_o thessalonian_n he_o touch_v the_o same_o
