come_v to_o the_o natural_a meaning_n after_o that_o saint_n john_n have_v say_v that_o nothing_o be_v make_v of_o that_o which_o be_v make_v without_o this_o word_n he_o add_v that_o in_o it_o be_v life_n now_o here_o he_o mind_v to_o set_v out_o two_o diverse_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o as_o all_o be_v once_o create_v by_o the_o power_n of_o that_o word_n of_o god_n so_o all_o thing_n continue_v and_o be_v preserve_v by_o that_o power_n and_o by_o the_o same_o mean_a mark_v two_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v and_o these_o be_v two_o matter_n which_o it_o behoove_v we_o well_o to_o consider_v and_o way_n the_o one_o that_o we_o have_v our_o beginning_n and_o life_n by_o this_o word_n the_o other_o that_o we_o be_v uphold_v and_o maintain_v thereby_o and_o that_o not_o we_o only_a but_o all_o the_o world_n also_o that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o only_o create_v at_o the_o begin_n by_o this_o word_n but_o also_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o nor_o continue_v any_o long_o unless_o it_o be_v preserve_v in_o it_o own_o estate_n by_o the_o same_o mean_a and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o mark_v and_o keep_v fast_o christ_n all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n be_v uphelde_v by_o christ_n these_o two_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o place_n point_v out_o unto_o we_o with_o the_o finger_n by_o s._n john_n in_o the_o first_o place_n than_o he_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o nothing_o of_o that_o which_o be_v make_v be_v make_v without_o this_o word_n and_o how_o then_o mind_v he_o to_o accept_v i_o know_v not_o what_o that_o be_v not_o make_v seem_v it_o that_o he_o will_v say_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o create_v no_o no_o he_o mean_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o mind_v to_o declare_v that_o we_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o which_o depend_v not_o whole_o of_o god_n and_o have_v not_o it_o be_v altogether_o in_o he_o angel_n touch_v angel_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o angel_n have_v a_o very_a noble_a and_o excellent_a nature_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o subsist_v and_o have_v their_o be_v by_o this_o word_n and_o be_v found_v in_o it_o otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o continue_v and_o abide_v as_o also_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v preserve_v by_o this_o very_a word_n now_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v and_o instruct_v how_o great_a our_o poverty_n and_o wretchedness_n will_v be_v unless_o that_o god_n uphelde_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n shall_v withdraw_v his_o spirit_n from_o we_o 29._o psal_n 104_o 29._o behold_v we_o return_v to_o powder_v and_o dust_n and_o vanish_v away_o altogether_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o speak_v in_o that_o place_n of_o creature_n &_o bodily_a thing_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v how_o all_o the_o rest_n also_o be_v uphold_v by_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o this_o word_n now_o even_o as_o we_o can_v subsist_v or_o be_v but_o by_o that_o word_n of_o god_n so_o we_o must_v likewise_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o mean_n thereof_o that_o we_o have_v begin_v to_o have_v life_n and_o who_o be_v he_o that_o declare_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o the_o evangelist_n this_o be_v also_o the_o self_n same_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o first_o cap._n to_o the_o hebrews_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n 1.3_o hebr._n 1.3_o or_o the_o image_n of_o his_o substance_n and_o person_n of_o god_n his_o father_n and_o that_o he_o uphold_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o word_n he_o use_v there_o the_o word_n word_n but_o yet_o in_o such_o a_o signification_n that_o he_o mean_v not_o only_o the_o power_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o also_o a_o certain_a wonderful_a disposition_n &_o a_o very_a fit_a and_o seemly_a order_n which_o he_o have_v set_v in_o the_o thing_n create_v because_o he_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n &_o we_o may_v behold_v he_o in_o all_o the_o creature_n because_o he_o uphold_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o virtue_n and_o power_n mark_v then_o how_o we_o have_v life_n &_o move_a and_o after_o the_o first_o day_n of_o our_o life_n we_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o to_o wit_n because_o that_o god_n preserve_v we_o alone_a man_n life_n and_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o be_v from_o god_n alone_a for_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o we_o must_v needs_o perish_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n if_o this_o be_v not_o that_o that_o word_n of_o god_n maintain_v us._n behold_v then_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o evangelist_n say_v that_o that_o word_n be_v life_n that_o be_v that_o not_o only_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o it_o but_o that_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n also_o be_v ground_v thereupon_o and_o that_o it_o maintain_v they_o in_o their_o be_v now_o he_o add_v afterward_o that_o that_o life_n be_v that_o light_n of_o man_n and_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o he_o add_v this_o it_o be_v for_o two_o cause_n the_o first_o be_v that_o after_o that_o we_o have_v know_v the_o might_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o that_o his_o word_n both_o on_o high_a and_o beneath_o and_o every_o where_n we_o must_v then_o come_v to_o ourselves_o for_o this_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v and_o that_o with_o a_o great_a diligence_n behold_v that_o which_o touch_v we_o very_o nigh_o as_o how_o i_o ought_v to_o know_v god_n goodness_n in_o this_o that_o he_o preserve_v horse_n and_o ox_n as_o david_n speak_v to_o we_o thereof_o 1â—_n psal_n 36.6_o psalm_n 104.27_o gen._n 1_o 1â—_n say_v that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o give_v nourishment_n and_o food_n to_o every_o beast_n i_o see_v on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o earth_n which_o by_o the_o commandment_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n bring_v forth_o her_o fruit_n if_o i_o look_v they_o upon_o beast_n i_o ought_v to_o know_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n which_o declare_v itself_o even_o towards_o ass_n &_o dog_n but_o much_o more_o towards_o i_o god_n come_v to_o i_o that_o i_o may_v inward_o feel_v his_o power_n he_o give_v i_o bread_n wherewith_o i_o be_o nourish_v and_o ought_v i_o not_o to_o be_v touch_v to_o the_o quick_a for_o so_o many_o benefit_n &_o blessing_n it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o shall_v beside_o also_o when_o man_n set_v out_o god_n work_n they_o speak_v express_o of_o man_n man_n god_n power_n appear_v special_o in_o man_n because_o that_o god_n do_v set_v out_o his_o most_o great_a &_o excellent_a power_n rather_o in_o we_o then_o in_o other_o creature_n god_n then_o will_v in_o

will_n &_o get_v all_o the_o substance_n &_o riches_n of_o the_o earth_n into_o their_o possession_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o message_n which_o be_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v find_v he_o in_o a_o stable_a swaddle_v in_o blanket_n be_v such_o a_o stumble_a block_n unto_o these_o poor_a man_n as_o be_v able_a to_o have_v break_v the_o very_a heart_n of_o they_o and_o make_v they_o to_o be_v of_o that_o mind_n never_o to_o come_v near_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o rather_o altogether_o to_o fly_v his_o company_n now_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o sign_n which_o be_v give_v of_o the_o redeemer_n that_o he_o be_v lay_v in_o a_o manger_n as_o one_o not_o worthy_a the_o company_n and_o fellowship_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o all_o this_o

thereof_o by_o this_o spectacle_n see_v then_o these_o shepherd_n have_v so_o great_a faith_n that_o it_o strave_v against_o all_o whatsoever_o may_v pull_v they_o back_o from_o come_v unto_o our_o

the_o birth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n although_o there_o appear_v noworldly_a dignity_n pomp_n or_o nobleness_n therein_o a_o stumble_a block_n to_o stay_v or_o withdraw_v we_o from_o the_o

never_o think_v to_o come_v to_o a_o account_n and_o know_v not_o any_o other_o better_a life_n than_o this_o which_o they_o see_v here_o below_o they_o think_v it_o therefore_o mere_a foolishness_n so_o to_o follow_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o he_o and_o the_o more_o we_o see_v this_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v this_o advertisement_n to_o strengthen_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n lose_v not_o a_o jot_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o glory_n neither_o be_v any_o whit_n lessen_v because_o he_o have_v abase_v himself_o for_o our_o salvation_n but_o we_o ought_v rather_o to_o wonder_v at_o it_o know_v his_o inestimable_a goodness_n &_o love_n towards_o us._n we_o see_v then_o how_o we_o must_v put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o practice_n which_o

with_o how_o dear_a a_o price_n it_o be_v purchase_v for_o us._n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o mean_a to_o suffer_v death_n and_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o appease_v the_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n but_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v true_o and_o indeed_o be_v our_o pledge_n he_o

and_o condemnation_n before_o god_n let_v we_o then_o hear_v right_o note_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o content_v to_o offer_v up_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o yield_v himself_o unto_o death_n but_o will_v withal_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n in_o the_o name_n and_o person_n of_o all_o sinner_n ready_a there_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o that_o because_o he_o bear_v our_o burden_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v ashamed_a see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v submit_v himself_o to_o such_o a_o infirmity_n neither_o be_v it_o without_o

will_v never_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o have_v compassion_n upon_o those_o that_o feel_v it_o because_o they_o have_v always_o take_v their_o ease_n and_o live_v in_o pleasure_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o although_o god_n in_o his_o own_o nature_n suffer_v not_o any_o of_o our_o passion_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o be_v courteous_a unto_o we_o but_o that_o be_v because_o

&_o that_o we_o may_v come_v the_o bold_o unto_o he_o &_o have_v a_o more_o familiar_a access_n the_o apostle_n say_v 2.10_o hebr._n 2.10_o that_o he_o will_v for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v tempt_v even_o as_o we_o be_v so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v read_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v come_v into_o this_o village_n of_o gethsamene_n &_o

where_o he_o know_v that_o judas_n shall_v find_v he_o and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o because_o our_o father_n adam_n through_o his_o transgression_n have_v throw_v we_o all_o

5.19_o rom._n 5.19_o for_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v all_o our_o sin_n &_o offence_n so_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o grace_n

now_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v descend_v into_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n before_o such_o time_n as_o he_o shall_v be_v exalt_v into_o the_o glory_n of_o

and_o mark_v beside_o why_o the_o prophet_n add_v that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o subject_a to_o infirmity_n this_o word_n infirmity_n have_v a_o large_a scope_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o

like_o a_o deform_a creature_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o in_o who_o be_v no_o show_n of_o reputation_n and_o credit_n among_o man_n and_o yet_o not_o such_o a_o one_o neither_o but_o that_o there_o

by_o his_o suffering_n and_o his_o infirmity_n such_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n or_o virtue_n see_v in_o he_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n nor_o favour_n in_o he_o why_o he_o shall_v be_v esteem_v and_o have_v in_o honour_n we_o must_v also_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v before_o recite_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v beat_v and_o scourge_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n suffer_v the_o horrible_a anguish_n of_o his_o judgement_n &_o in_o his_o body_n bear_v the_o fearful_a torment_n that_o may_v be_v and_o over_o and_o beside_o all_o

be_v punish_v wherefore_o since_o the_o case_n thus_o stand_v let_v we_o understande_v that_o forsomuche_o as_o god_n spare_v not_o he_o that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n shall_v not_o be_v spare_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v give_v we_o occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o wax_v proud_a and_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o justify_v ourselves_o or_o else_o

such_o a_o trifle_a matter_n if_o a_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a thief_n shall_v have_v commit_v many_o theft_n and_o robbery_n and_o after_o that_o his_o wicked_a deed_n be_v know_v the_o son_n of_o a_o king_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o be_v arraign_v and_o condemn_v for_o the_o same_o and_o so_o bear_v the_o punishment_n thereof_o &_o the_o thief_n to_o be_v discharge_v and_o pardon_v shall_v he_o rejoice_v and_o make_v a_o scoff_n at_o he_o whenas_o he_o see_v the_o son_n of_o a_o king_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n that_o he_o deserve_v even_o so_o at_o this_o present_a fare_v it_o with_o us._n for_o behold_v how_o jesus_n christ_n the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n be_v imprison_v and_o we_o deliver_v he_o condemn_v and_o we_o pardon_v he_o

otherwise_o then_o have_v be_v determine_v before_o by_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o the_o prophet_n bring_v we_o always_o back_o to_o this_o that_o we_o must_v lift_v our_o mind_n unto_o god_n &_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n &_o offence_n even_o in_o the_o

we_o must_v not_o cease_v more_o &_o more_o to_o comforme_v ourselves_o thereto_o and_o for_o that_o more_o lively_a express_v here_o of_o see_v why_o the_o prophet_n go_v on_o further_a and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n to_o wit_n that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v forget_v his_o own_o life_n for_o the_o redeem_n of_o our_o life_n &_o the_o price_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n here_o the_o prophet_n again_o set_v before_o we_o the_o willing_a obedience_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o as_o he_o have_v say_v that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v be_v afflict_v even_o so_o likewise_o he_o now_o say_v that_o the_o son_n yield_v himself_o willing_o thereto_o thrust_v himself_o forward_o to_o become_v a_o

and_o therefore_o it_o must_v necessary_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v yield_v and_o offer_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o death_n which_o he_o suffer_v for_o without_o that_o as_o yesterday_o be_v declare_v our_o rebellion_n have_v never_o be_v repare_v before_o god_n but_o when_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o soul_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v press_v and_o ready_a to_o

he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o so_o exempt_v himself_o from_o all_o humane_a frailty_n this_o than_o it_o be_v whereon_o we_o must_v build_v our_o faith_n in_o he_o when_o as_o we_o see_v he_o to_o have_v in_o such_o sort_n overcome_v death_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o triumph_v over_o he_o as_o that_o after_o that_o he_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n he_o be_v receive_v and_o

of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o separate_v himself_o from_o it_o 2.11_o heb._n 2.11_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o he_o

howbeit_o this_o be_v no_o let_v unto_o we_o from_o be_v as_o child_n engender_v of_o his_o seed_n for_o what_o be_v the_o true_a seed_n of_o the_o church_n very_o even_o the_o word_n of_o the_o

out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n endure_v for_o ever_o because_o by_o it_o we_o be_v make_v incorruptible_a 40.8_o isaiah_n 40.8_o whenas_o we_o receive_v

beget_v we_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n forsooth_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a seed_n to_o quicken_v us._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o say_v here_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v a_o seed_n of_o long_a continuance_n or_o a_o everlasting_a seed_n so_o then_o we_o be_v again_o to_o conclude_v that_o the_o benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n obtain_v by_o his_o resurrection_n be_v not_o particular_a for_o himself_o alone_o but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v part_n thereof_o and_o be_v call_v unto_o

it_o whole_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n why_o how_o will_v god_n then_o acknowledge_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n how_o shall_v we_o have_v any_o place_n in_o his_o church_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v take_v to_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n forsooth_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o point_n because_o we_o be_v partaker_n with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n accept_v of_o we_o this_o be_v our_o beget_n and_o first_o birth_n and_o now_o let_v our_o fréewill_n man_n go_v and_o brag_v of_o their_o free_a will_n by_o which_o they_o suppose_v themselves_o to_o

also_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o better_a taste_n of_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n it_o be_v say_v because_o he_o give_v his_o soul_n a_o offer_n for_o sin_n to_o wit_n for_o satisfaction_n or_o

to_o justify_v the_o reason_n be_v already_o set_v down_o it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n that_o god_n declare_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o law_n how_o we_o ought_v and_o may_v attain_v unto_o life_n if_o so_o be_v we_o be_v such_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o us._n wherefore_o although_o the_o law_n of_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o yet_o it_o refourm_v not_o our_o heart_n for_o when_o god_n

of_o god_n for_o before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v we_o sin_v through_o ignorance_n but_o now_o we_o so_o witting_o and_o willing_o stand_v against_o he_o as_o that_o it_o seem_v we_o will_v even_o

that_o the_o law_n engender_v nothing_o else_o but_o wrath_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o have_v be_v instruct_v in_o it_o it_o kindle_v god_n his_o wrath_n so_o much_o the_o more_o against_o we_o

no_o and_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n we_o can_v attain_v thereto_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v after_o a_o other_o manner_n which_o be_v by_o the_o gospel_n for_o god_n say_v not_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n behold_v you_o shall_v do_v this_o or_o that_o but_o he_o say_v believe_v that_o my_o only_a son_n be_v your_o redeemer_n embraâ—e_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n as_o

when_o as_o it_o say_v whosoever_o shall_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n shall_v live_v by_o they_o for_o this_o be_v most_o true_a that_o if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o fulfil_v all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n so_o that_o our_o life_n be_v in_o such_o sort_n rule_v as_o that_o it_o be_v without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n god_n have_v promise_v to_o receyve_v we_o as_o righteous_a that_o we_o shall_v

be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o bring_v any_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o own_o with_o we_o which_o may_v please_v god_n and_o to_o make_v this_o account_n as_o to_o say_v we_o have_v deserve_v o_o lord_n

saint_n for_o he_o show_v that_o they_o which_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o pollution_n &_o corruption_n of_o this_o world_n must_v not_o look_v to_o have_v any_o part_n or_o portion_n in_o this_o inheritance_n nor_o yet_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o in_o this_o say_n they_o which_o have_v believe_v he_o show_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o very_a right_a springhead_n and_o beginning_n of_o all_o holiness_n three_o he_o show_v that_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v pure_a and_o right_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n we_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o his_o come_n but_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o of_o health_n and_o joy_n for_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a number_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a throat_n say_v what_o i_o beseech_v you_o good_a sir_n think_v you_o that_o we_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o the_o rest_n thus_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o swine_n and_o examine_v their_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o altogether_o disloyal_a and_o faithless_a like_o fox_n full_a of_o treason_n perjury_n cruelty_n and_o bitterness_n unto_o their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o loser_n they_o will_v keep_v open_a shop_n to_o take_v of_o all_o hand_n insomuch_o that_o they_o will_v not_o only_o sell_v their_o faith_n and_o credit_n but_o their_o honour_n and_o honesty_n also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a contemptuous_a person_n and_o yet_o forsooth_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o brag_v that_o they_o be_v the_o frowarde_a man_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o god_n will_v help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a and_o a_o most_o fearful_a day_n to_o you_o and_o so_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_n we_o have_v to_o note_v out_o of_o this_o place_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n available_a to_o we_o and_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o consecrate_v ourselves_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n but_o to_o the_o attain_n hereof_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v late_o say_v for_o to_o say_v true_o faith_n 6._o act_n 15._o 6._o be_v the_o spring_n head_n of_o all_o holiness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n where_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o god_n cleanse_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n to_o show_v that_o whatsoever_o glorious_a show_n we_o make_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v corrupt_a and_o stink_a before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n cleanse_v we_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o for_o the_o three_o point_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a faith_n it_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o can_v but_o be_v reform_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o be_v consecrate_v to_o honour_v he_o and_o how_o be_v that_o forsooth_o because_o that_o we_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n he_o will_v dwell_v in_o we_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o all_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o namely_o saint_n paul_n use_v these_o word_n to_o the_o ephesian_n jesus_n christ_n say_v he_o dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n 3.17_o ephe._n 3.17_o i_o beseech_v you_o tell_v i_o do_v not_o these_o thing_n hang_v ill_a favored_o together_o that_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n give_v ourselves_o to_o all_o villainy_n and_o filthiness_n do_v we_o think_v that_o he_o will_v dwell_v in_o a_o swine_n sty_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v consecrate_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o moreover_o he_o can_v be_v with_o we_o but_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n righteousness_n and_o cleanness_n will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a medley_n when_o as_o we_o will_v brag_v to_o have_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o live_v wanton_o and_o wicked_o and_o be_v stain_v with_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v i_o hold_v the_o sun_n and_o it_o shine_v not_o and_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v turn_v upside_o down_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v more_o like_a that_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v without_o light_n then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v without_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o make_v this_o observation_n that_o we_o take_v not_o this_o cloak_n of_o hypocrisy_n upon_o we_o and_o say_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o we_o believe_v in_o good_a sadness_n without_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n be_v answerable_a and_o show_v that_o we_o have_v receive_v jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o consecrate_v &_o sanctifi_v we_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n his_o father_n we_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v not_o come_v with_o falâ—â—_n ensign_n to_o usurp_v this_o name_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o most_o holy_a thing_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n we_o profane_v it_o not_o but_o if_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n let_v we_o effectual_o show_v that_o we_o have_v do_v so_o and_o then_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v make_v we_o feel_v his_o power_n and_o give_v we_o grace_n patient_o to_o tarry_v his_o come_n and_o although_o we_o must_v in_o this_o world_n suffer_v many_o injury_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n yet_o shall_v we_o in_o the_o end_n be_v clothe_v with_o his_o glory_n and_o righteousness_n as_o he_o have_v promise_v which_o he_o will_v make_v we_o feel_v so_o we_o receive_v it_o without_o doubt_v and_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n and_o acknowledge_v our_o offence_n beseech_v he_o that_o after_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v they_o that_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o from_o they_o and_o because_o he_o can_v do_v it_o but_o that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o ill_a remnant_n leave_v behind_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o support_v we_o until_o such_o time_n
