the_o welfare_n and_o benefit_n of_o man_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v very_o good_a and_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a those_o be_v always_o best_o which_o may_v redound_v to_o the_o commodity_n of_o most_o person_n and_o which_o be_v once_o possess_v can_v be_v take_v away_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o possess_a see_v then_o that_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o work_n be_v

before_o any_o one_o jot_n of_o his_o say_n take_v not_o effect_v in_o asmuch_o as_o this_o book_n contain_v not_o worldly_a uncertain_a and_o perish_a but_o heavenly_a assure_v and_o everlasting_a

all_o likelihood_n need_v continue_v with_o other_o of_o the_o same_o sort_n at_o leastwise_o among_o the_o godly_a not_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o but_o so_o long_o as_o man_n shall_v have_v need_n to_o be_v edify_v and_o strengthen_v in_o christ_n which_o thing_n will_v appear_v yet_o more_o plain_o if_o beside_o these_o generality_n which_o it_o have_v common_a with_o all_o the_o residue_n of_o holy_a scripture_n we_o consider_v the_o work_n more_o peculiarly_a and_o near_o in_o itself_o which_o consist_v of_o twoo_o part_n too_o wit_n of_o text_n and_o of_o exposition_n of_o the_o

the_o child_n of_o light_n so_o as_o they_o neither_o turn_v back_o again_o as_o renegate_n or_o as_o swine_v to_o the_o mire_n nor_o be_v carry_v too_o and_o fro_o with_o every_o blast_n of_o

effect_n of_o the_o la_o and_o concern_v the_o pure_a conversation_n of_o christian_n life_n for_o the_o order_n which_o the_o writer_n of_o holy_a scripture_n observe_v well_o near_o in_o all_o their_o preach_n and_o exhortation_n be_v first_o to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o afterward_o to_o build_v up_o the_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o true_a holiness_n of_o life_n without_o the_o which_o faith_n be_v not_o only_o naked_a but_o also_o dead_a thus_o much_o concern_v the_o text_n and_o the_o content_n of_o the_o same_o the_o

here_o which_o be_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o world_n and_o those_o two_o thing_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v some_o fantastical_a person_n have_v imagine_v such_o a_o perfection_n that_o when_o we_o be_v once_o regenerate_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v no_o more_o need_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n insomuch_o that_o they_o say_v we_o keep_v the_o world_n still_o to_o their_o apsie_n when_o we_o preach_v that_o we_o can_v become_v righteous_a but_o by_o faith_n nor_o come_v in_o god_n favour_n but_o by_o his_o forgive_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o by_o his_o cover_n of_o they_o through_o his_o own_o goodness_n but_o that_o be_v a_o devilish_a pride_n and_o yet_o among_o papist_n there_o be_v no_o more_o praise_n than_o that_o give_v unto_o god_n goodness_n so_o then_o let_v we_o abhor_v such_o harebrayne_n and_o all_o their_o blasphemy_n when_o they_o go_v about_o to_o be_v witch_n we_o so_o far_o as_o too_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o need_n too_o be_v pity_v of_o god_n nor_o to_o have_v our_o sin_n forgive_v us._n but_o let_v we_o trust_v unto_o it_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o sigh_v and_o groan_v all_o our_o life_n long_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o hope_n to_o assure_v we_o of_o our_o salvation_n but_o first_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o guilty_a and_o then_o to_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v continual_o wash_v we_o pure_a and_o clean_a mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o therewithal_o let_v our_o indevor_n always_o be_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o this_o wicked_a world_n and_o how_o even_o by_o pray_v untoo_o god_n too_o touch_v we_o first_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o afterward_o too_o increase_v his_o gift_n in_o we_o and_o too_o mortify_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o sith_o we_o feel_v such_o a_o battle_n so_o as_o we_o be_v fain_o too_o enforce_v ourselves_o or_o else_o that_o we_o do_v but_o lympe_n and_o halt_n in_o go_v untoo_o god_n insomuch_o that_o we_o make_v many_o a_o false_a step_n and_o oftentimes_o happen_v to_o trip_v and_o stumble_v let_v we_o mourn_v continual_o see_v we_o fail_v at_o all_o assay_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o this_o wicked_a world_n namely_o not_o by_o be_v set_v utter_o free_a from_o sin_n like_v as_o also_o when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o god_n have_v deliver_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v live_v perfect_o and_o undefiled_a before_o he_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o there_o can_v be_v find_v any_o such_o pureness_n in_o any_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o all_o our_o thought_n do_v continual_o rebel_v against_o god_n yea_o and_o even_o the_o righteouss_a man_n of_o all_o shall_v evermore_o find_v themselves_o behind_o hand_n and_o perceyve_v that_o they_o do_v still_o drag_v their_o leg_n after_o they_o but_o yet_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v we_o perceyve_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v already_o ridded_a we_o by_o faith_n out_o of_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o will_v maintain_v we_o against_o all_o assault_n if_o we_o fall_v to_o examination_n and_o every_o man_n try_v what_o be_v in_o himself_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o on_o the_o one_o side_n there_o be_v any_o good_a desire_n in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o seek_v to_o honour_n god_n on_o the_o other_o side_n our_o own_a nature_n lead_v we_o the_o contrary_a way_n so_o as_o we_o will_v fain_o keep_v aloof_o from_o he_o insomuch_o that_o the_o faithful_a must_v needs_o feel_v both_o those_o two_o motion_n in_o themselves_o namely_o that_o when_o on_o the_o one_o side_n as_o saint_n peter_n cheer_v we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n counsel_v we_o too_o give_v our_o self_n to_o all_o holiness_n of_o life_n 1_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o feel_v ourselves_o to_o be_v pluck_v back_o by_o many_o wicked_a affection_n so_o as_o we_o can_v come_v near_o unto_o god_n as_o we_o fain_o will_v do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o seven_o 19_o chapter_n too_o the_o roman_n sigh_v and_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v unhappy_a because_o he_o can_v do_v the_o good_a that_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v nor_o utter_o eschew_v the_o evil_a that_o he_o hate_v &_o abhor_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v concern_v the_o deliverance_n that_o be_v mention_v here_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o so_o regenerate_v we_o already_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o to_o set_v we_o in_o full_a freedom_n to_o walk_v as_o we_o will_v wish_v and_o to_o run_v so_o swift_o and_o with_o so_o cheerful_a a_o courage_n as_o be_v requisite_a but_o his_o deliver_v of_o we_o be_v to_o make_v we_o hold_v on_o our_o way_n still_o towards_o our_o mark_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o make_v we_o yield_v ourselves_o whole_o in_o obedience_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o from_o our_o corruption_n and_o too_o forsake_v they_o more_o and_o more_o until_o the_o time_n of_o full_a perfection_n be_v come_v which_o be_v when_o our_o lord_n god_n shall_v have_v thorough_o repair_v his_o image_n in_o us._n now_o by_o the_o way_n although_o the_o galathians_n be_v partly_o slip_v away_o and_o have_v give_v ear_n to_o the_o buzibody_n that_o have_v disguise_v the_o gospel_n and_o make_v such_o a_o mingle_v mangle_v of_o it_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o good_a as_o overwhelm_v and_o bury_v yet_o notwithstanding_o s._n paul_n match_v they_o still_o with_o the_o faithful_a for_o who_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v according_a also_o as_o he_o place_v they_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o renegate_n that_o have_v forsake_v jesus_n christ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v anon_o show_v they_o their_o fault_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o mind_v not_o to_o exclude_v they_o utter_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o he_o to_o write_v to_o they_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o draw_v they_o back_o again_o and_o to_o win_v they_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o again_o into_o the_o good_a way_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o s._n paul_n labour_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o galathians_n into_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n as_o need_n be_v therefore_o he_o admit_v they_o still_o to_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n that_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o recken_v they_o still_o as_o separate_v from_o the_o world_n knit_v they_o to_o the_o fellowship_n of_o those_o who_o god_n accept_v and_o avow_v for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o be_v because_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o seed_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o they_o and_o although_o they_o be_v snarl_a in_o some_o error_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o utter_o forsake_v god_n nor_o go_v quite_o away_o from_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o consideration_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n hold_v they_o back_o and_o recken_v they_o still_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o although_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o yet_o will_v god_n reckon_v we_o as_o of_o his_o household_n for_o his_o word_n sake_n which_o be_v preach_v among_o us._n no_o doubt_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o our_o sore_a damnation_n if_o god_n call_v we_o and_o we_o answer_v he_o not_o but_o if_o we_o have_v any_o good_a desire_n too_o come_v untoo_o he_o and_o yet_o have_v still_o many_o vice_n and_o infirmity_n in_o we_o he_o accept_v we_o as_o his_o own_o for_o his_o word_n sake_n and_o we_o be_v call_v his_o church_n 25._o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o that_o title_n but_o because_o that_o as_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v call_v the_o holy_a city_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o promise_n namely_o that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v come_v from_o thence_o and_o that_o the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v manifest_v there_o so_o by_o like_a reason_n we_o be_v call_v the_o faithful_a and_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o be_v muster_v in_o the_o array_n of_o his_o church_n when_o the_o gospel_n be_v

saint_n paul_n use_v of_o such_o mildene_a 〈◊〉_d towards_o the_o galathians_n be_v not_o to_o foad_v they_o in_o their_o vice_n nor_o too_o soothe_v they_o up_o with_o fond_a flattery_n after_o the_o

of_o bishop_n we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n that_o they_o can_v climb_v any_o high_a than_o too_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o

show_v that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o bear_v abroad_o the_o message_n of_o salvation_n and_o too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o the_o world_n therefore_o they_o that_o will_v be_v take_v for_o bishop_n

whereas_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v too_o bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o

that_o be_v unknowen_a to_o worldly_a perceiverance_n then_o since_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v although_o we_o be_v

and_o all_o be_v turn_v to_o our_o help_n and_o welfare_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o eight_o to_o the_o rom._n 27._o therefore_o as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o another_o text_n 9_o god_n must_v utter_v the_o perfectness_n of_o his_o strength_n in_o our_o weakness_n and_o we_o suffer_v he_o to_o make_v we_o to_o stoop_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o this_o world_n may_v not_o keep_v we_o back_o

in_o this_o world_n that_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v of_o our_o salvation_n by_o the_o outward_a appearance_n what_o will_v become_v of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o suffer_v our_o life_n to_o be_v

of_o his_o gospel_n you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o must_v live_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o nice_a as_o to_o seek_v a_o quiet_a life_n here_o

here_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v hold_v out_o with_o invincible_a constancy_n against_o all_o the_o stop_n that_o satan_n labour_v too_o lay_v afore_o we_o to_o hinder_v we_o from_o keep_v on_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v suffer_v in_o vain_a then_o see_v we_o now_o why_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o live_v by_o faith_n for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v settle_v upon_o the_o

untoo_o we_o we_o must_v utter_o renounce_v ourselves_o and_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sin_n and_o corruption_n in_o we_o do_v now_o sharp_o rebuke_v such_o as_o will_v

will_v not_o bow_v furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n correct_v our_o vice_n we_o must_v not_o chafe_v and_o storm_n as_o many_o do_v who_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o gnash_v their_o

that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o apparel_n or_o raiment_n whereby_o all_o be_v cover_v and_o bury_v that_o may_v make_v we_o to_o be_v reject_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o grace_n be_v purchase_v unto_o we_o so_o as_o he_o do_v not_o any_o more_o sift_v we_o and_o search_v we_o in_o ourselves_o but_o accept_v we_o as_o if_o we_o come_v in_o the_o very_a person_n of_o his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v short_a saint_n paul_n mean_v to_o show_v here_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o like_v as_o all_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o tree_n come_v from_o the_o root_n and_o all_o the_o power_n and_o ability_n of_o a_o natural_a body_n come_v from_o the_o head_n even_o so_o be_v it_o

be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v any_o thing_n or_o aught_o worth_a of_o ourselves_o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o say_a

too_o god_n because_o that_o whereas_o they_o profess_v to_o hold_v of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o despyze_v and_o spite_v he_o and_o be_v as_o dung_n and_o filthiness_n too_o mar_v all_o thing_n baptism_n then_o make_v we_o not_o all_o christian_n and_o again_o we_o know_v that_o too_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v too_o great_a a_o benefit_n to_o be_v father_v upon_o a_o

glory_n wherein_o god_n lift_v we_o up_o too_o himself_o as_o say_v i_o a_o pervert_v of_o all_o order_n but_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o mark_v here_o that_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o baptism_n he_o presuppose_v that_o we_o receyve_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o in_o it_o many_o that_o be_v baptize_v do_v wipe_v away_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o yet_o they_o make_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o it_o through_o their_o unbeleef_n lewdness_n and_o rebellion_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o baptism_n be_v disfeat_v in_o many_o man_n but_o when_o there_o happen_v
a_o mutual_a agreement_n &_o melody_n between_o god_n and_o we_o then_o have_v baptism_n the_o effect_n whereof_o s._n paul_n treat_v and_o discourse_v in_o this_o text_n and_o so_o the_o thing_n that_o make_v we_o god_n child_n and_o clothe_v we_o with_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o god_n draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o corruption_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o will_v have_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v our_o head_n and_o we_o ingraff_v into_o he_o to_o be_v parttaker_n of_o his_o good_n therefore_o look_v when_o we_o receive_v that_o then_o be_v all_o accomplish_a that_o be_v

defile_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v dedicate_v to_o so_o excellent_a a_o use_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o s._n paul_n speak_v this_o

in_o somuch_o that_o there_o be_v light_n in_o the_o world_n even_o before_o there_o be_v either_o sun_n or_o moon_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o god_n have_v establish_v the_o sun_n whereby_o we_o

after_o the_o same_o manner_n be_v we_o greff_v intoo_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v s._n paul_n and_o that_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o our_o old_a man_n shall_v be_v crucify_v in_o he_o

according_a too_o the_o continual_a increase_n of_o our_o faith_n 23_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o in_o another_o place_n saint_n paul_n call_v the_o church_n the_o fullness_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o son_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o sure_o if_o we_o imagine_v that_o god_n be_v not_o thorough_o full_a and_o perfect_a in_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o have_v need_n too_o borrow_v of_o we_o it_o be_v rank_n trayterousnesse_n for_o what_o be_v we_o able_a to_o gyve_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v gather_v we_o all_o before_o he_o what_o can_v he_o find_v in_o we_o but_o utter_a misery_n for_o we_o be_v plunge_v yea_o and_o utter_o sape_v in_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o tell_v we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o we_o be_v his_o accomplishment_n and_o that_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n imperfect_a not_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v without_o us._n for_o he_o have_v be_v always_o everlasting_o before_o he_o have_v create_v the_o world_n and_o although_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n can_v not_o god_n be_v satisfy_v with_o himself_o be_v he_o nor_o scotfree_a enough_o of_o his_o own_o

far_o oversee_v as_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o have_v perform_v the_o whole_a law_n then_o if_o all_o of_o we_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o offence_n against_o god_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o

a_o error_n in_o all_o age_n that_o at_o the_o first_o set_v forth_o and_o first_o brunt_n man_n will_v needs_o pay_v god_n all_o that_o be_v due_a too_o he_o and_o in_o the_o end_n seek_v

will_v well_o enough_o grant_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v untoo_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o welfare_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n whereby_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n and_o have_v our_o conscience_n quiet_v and_o whereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v ground_v so_o as_o we_o call_v upon_o god_n as_o our_o father_n who_o give_v we_o the_o boldness_n to_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n to_o heaven_n and_o to_o call_v god_n our_o father_n again_o what_o make_v we_o so_o bold_a as_o to_o glory_v that_o we_o be_v companion_n and_o brother_n to_o the_o angel_n it_o be_v because_o our_o sin_n come_v not_o to_o account_v for_o we_o must_v always_o have_v recourse_n to_o
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

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

notwithstanding_o howsoever_o we_o fare_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o press_v bold_o before_o god_n as_o though_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v receyve_v or_o as_o though_o we_o bring_v he_o any_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

at_o all_o adventure_n but_o accept_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o offer_v us._n then_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n promise_n depend_v not_o upon_o our_o desert_n but_o be_v altogether_o free_o and_o

declare_v already_o it_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o s._n paul_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n in_o general_a except_o he_o have_v show_v therewith_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a &_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n can_v well_o enough_o away_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o very_o great_a estimation_n among_o we_o but_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n the_o gospel_n be_v and_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n chalendge_v that_o faithfulness_n of_o teach_v the_o gospel_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v change_v let_v the_o same_o be_v accurse_v and_o this_o yet_o again_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o when_o the_o papist_n read_v this_o place_n they_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o it_o and_o god_n also_o have_v dull_v they_o so_o as_o there_o be_v less_o wit_n in_o they_o than_o in_o little_a child_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o namely_o that_o paul_n mean_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v another_o gospel_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v write_v a_o book_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v write_v by_o he_o than_o they_o shall_v utter_o reject_v it_o because_o the_o gospel_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o think_v not_o that_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o paul_n epistle_n be_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o gospel_n but_o they_o rather_o surmise_v that_o he_o have_v write_v some_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o any_o other_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o refuzall_n thereof_o the_o same_o that_o have_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o credit_n nor_o reputation_n but_o we_o see_v that_o in_o that_o case_n these_o wretched_a beast_n have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o understanding_n nor_o any_o taste_n at_o all_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v even_o to_o show_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_fw-la the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o will_v we_o be_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o accept_v what_o soever_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o his_o name_n but_o we_o must_v put_v that_o thing_n in_o ●re_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n 5_o which_o be_v too_o be_v able_a by_o herken_v unto_o his_o voice_n too_o discern_v his_o voice_n from_o

which_o care_v not_o which_o end_n go_v forward_o in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o we_o must_v rest_v to_o have_v any_o

therefore_o let_v we_o shun_v it_o as_o a_o poison_n for_o sure_o no_o poison_n can_v be_v so_o deadly_a as_o a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o if_o man_n do_v natural_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o

the_o everlasting_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n his_o father_n to_o wash_v away_o all_o our_o offence_n and_o misdeed_n now_o like_a as_o god_n show_v we_o that_o favour_n so_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n
