the_o wash_n of_o they_o away_o which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n you_o see_v then_o that_o our_o righteousness_n be_v that_o god_n accept_v we_o howbeit_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o own_o worthiness_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n whereby_o all_o our_o misdooing_n be_v wipe_v out_o that_o be_v the_o first_o benefit_n which_o we_o have_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o second_o be_v that_o whereas_o we_o be_v froward_a of_o our_o own_o nature_n and_o all_o that_o the_o papist_n term_v by_o the_o name_n of_o freewill_n be_v but_o frenzy_n and_o that_o how_o great_a account_n so_o ever_o man_n make_v of_o themselves_o all_o be_v but_o naughtiness_n and_o we_o be_v full_a of_o vice_n and_o corruption_n in_o stead_n of_o be_v so_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n &_o to_o labour_v to_o do_v good_a for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o abide_v in_o our_o own_o nature_n every_o of_o we_o soothe_v and_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o evil_n but_o when_o we_o have_v once_o taste_v the_o inestimable_a love_n of_o our_o god_n and_o perceyve_v what_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v then_o we_o be_v so_o touch_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o condemn_v the_o evil_a and_o desire_v to_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n and_o too_o frame_v ourselves_o to_o his_o holy_a will_n we_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o once_o and_o although_o we_o go_v halt_v yet_o do_v we_o continual_o sigh_v to_o see_v our_o own_o imperfection_n and_o infirmity_n and_o perceyve_v full_a well_o how_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o move_v we_o thereunto_o when_o our_o chief_a desire_n be_v to_o forsake_v the_o sinfulness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o come_v of_o our_o flesh_n so_o as_o we_o wish_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v in_o all_o our_o life_n and_o faithful_o obey_v in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o second_o benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n bring_v we_o and_o they_o be_v two_o thing_n knit_v together_o by_o unseparable_a band_n so_o that_o like_a as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o heat_n so_o these_o two_o grace_n that_o be_v to_o wit_v our_o righteousness_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v unseparable_o match_v with_o our_o renewment_n which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n thus_o you_o see_v two_o grace_n inseparable_a and_o like_a as_o when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v hot_a it_o cease_v not_o to_o shine_v also_o &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o heat_n so_o when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v thencefoorth_o suffer_v himself_o too_o be_v mock_v and_o despise_v but_o that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v thorough_o cleanse_v so_o as_o we_o may_v learn_v too_o renounce_v the_o world_n and_o ourselves_o too_o the_o end_n to_o stick_v unto_o he_o with_o true_a obedience_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v the_o thing_n that_o s._n paul_n speak_v in_o this_o text_n shall_v always_o be_v find_v true_a namely_o that_o he_o be_v crucify_v with_o jesus_n christ_n to_o live_v unto_o god_n then_o if_o any_o man_n accuse_v the_o gospel_n that_o it_o give_v liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o too_o sin_n we_o may_v always_o answer_v how_o so_o by_o the_o law_n we_o be_v always_o dead_a for_o there_o we_o see_v our_o own_o cursednesse_n which_o will_v leave_v we_o dismay_v in_o despair_n but_o in_o the_o gospel_n although_o we_o be_v crucify_v that_o be_v too_o say_v although_o there_o be_v a_o spice_n of_o death_n in_o the_o gospel_n yet_o be_v that_o death_n a_o quicken_a death_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o life_n for_o so_o long_o as_o man_n live_v too_o themselves_o they_o be_v dead_a unto_o god_n they_o be_v wretched_a carcase_n full_a of_o rottenness_n but_o when_o they_o dye_v in_o themselves_o they_o live_v untoo_o god_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n saint_n paul_n in_o the_o twelve_o too_o the_o roman_n call_v we_o lyve_a sacrifice_n 1_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v transform_v and_o utter_o gyve_v over_o our_o own_o reason_n and_o our_o own_o will_n too_o yield_v god_n such_o service_n as_o be_v meet_v for_o he_o too_o have_v he_o say_v offer_v up_o yourselves_o as_o lyve_a sacrifice_n so_o then_o in_o the_o law_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o deadly_a death_n a_o death_n that_o leave_v we_o utter_o overwhelm_v and_o sink_v even_o down_o intoo_o hell_n but_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o quicken_a death_n and_o why_o for_o we_o be_v crucify_v with_o jesus_n christ_n too_o live_v unto_o god_n that_o be_v too_o say_v 4_o our_o old_a man_n as_o saint_n paul_n term_v it_o in_o the_o six_o too_o the_o roman_n and_o that_o which_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n be_v do_v away_o howebeeit_v not_o at_o the_o first_o day_n but_o by_o little_a and_o little_a but_o how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o shall_v perceyve_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n mortify_v all_o that_o be_v in_o we_o of_o our_o own_o or_o of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o so_o great_o give_v too_o nestle_v here_o bylowe_a because_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o miserable_a state_n too_o live_v here_o and_o our_o very_a care_n be_v too_o stycke_a untoo_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v be_v crucify_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryste_n but_o what_o be_v ment_fw-la by_o that_o crucify_a very_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o death_n howebeeit_n that_o death_n bring_v we_o too_o life_n which_o thing_n the_o death_n which_o the_o law_n bring_v do_v not_o now_o than_o we_o see_v the_o very_a intent_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o this_o text_n therefore_o now_o a_o day_n when_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n blaspheme_v the_o gospel_n we_o have_v here_o a_o answer_n to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n and_o if_o they_o hold_v on_o still_o let_v they_o bark_v like_o dog_n but_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a too_o bite_v do_v what_o they_o can_v see_v here_o what_o the_o papist_n flushe_v forth_o when_o we_o preach_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v through_o god_n free_a goodness_n o_o say_v they_o be_v they_o so_o that_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o give_v every_o man_n the_o bridle_n too_o live_v after_o his_o own_o like_n and_o too_o cause_n that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o more_o remorse_n nor_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n so_o as_o every_o man_n may_v have_v leave_n too_o do_v what_o he_o ly_v that_o be_v the_o common_a blasphemy_n of_o the_o papist_n again_o when_o we_o show_v they_o that_o they_o can_v not_o bind_v we_o by_o their_o tradition_n and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o tyranny_n which_o they_o have_v usurp_v in_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o right_a and_o that_o the_o liberty_n be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v tie_v too_o the_o thing_n which_o man_n will_v lay_v upon_o we_o of_o law_n and_o necessity_n in_o matter_n concern_v the_o spiritual_a government_n of_o our_o soul_n o_o say_v they_o see_v what_o come_v of_o it_o their_o desire_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o wallow_v in_o all_o pleasure_n and_o too_o lead_v a_o loose_a life_n sure_o we_o may_v easy_o answer_v too_o all_o this_o for_o the_o doctrine_n that_o we_o bring_v serve_v not_o to_o stir_v up_o man_n lust_n nor_o to_o give_v they_o too_o great_a and_o lawless_a a_o liberty_n but_o too_o the_o clean_a contrary_n but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v it_o ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v abide_v in_o the_o quamyre_n of_o the_o papist_n sure_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o death_n for_o us._n for_o be_v they_o not_o too_o fast_a asleep_a and_o utter_o dull_v undoubted_o they_o shall_v be_v toss_v with_o such_o unquietness_n and_o hartebyting_n as_o they_o shall_v needs_o see_v that_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n whereupon_o we_o must_v rest_n but_o behold_v they_o be_v so_o rot_v in_o their_o ignorance_n that_o they_o have_v not_o any_o feel_n of_o god_n justice_n at_o all_o but_o as_o for_o our_o part_n for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o know_v we_o have_v such_o a_o freedom_n purchase_v we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v sure_a of_o our_o salvation_n because_o god_n do_v free_o forgive_v all_o our_o fault_n and_o do_v feel_v already_o by_o the_o work_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o
all_o the_o faithful_a &_o to_o all_o his_o child_n but_o yet_o do_v he_o grant_v we_o other_o special_a grace_n beside_o as_o when_o he_o give_v we_o man_n that_o teach_v we_o his_o word_n faithful_o or_o that_o govern_v the_o common_a wealth_n wise_o or_o which_o have_v other_o gift_n for_o in_o so_o do_v he_o give_v we_o certain_a token_n that_o he_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o thereby_o also_o he_o bind_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o untoo_o he_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o reason_n that_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o he_o blame_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o galathians_n for_o that_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o it_o come_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o say_v it_o purposely_o because_o man_n will_v always_o make_v fair_a protestation_n enough_o that_o they_o meene_z not_o to_o reject_v god_n grace_n and_o yet_o do_v show_v the_o clean_a contrary_n in_o their_o dooyng_n as_o how_o they_o that_o be_v loath_a too_o suffer_v themselves_o too_o be_v teach_v and_o will_v drive_v away_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n if_o they_o can_v &_o they_o which_o through_o envy_n &_o spitefulnesse_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o abolish_v the_o remembrance_n of_o all_o those_o who_o god_n have_v establish_v too_o maintain_v the_o welfare_n of_o his_o people_n they_o say_v i_o do_v show_v well_o enough_o that_o they_o will_v have_v god_n too_o hold_v himself_o a_o far_o off_o from_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o come_v at_o he_o for_o he_o set_v before_o they_o the_o mean_n to_o come_v too_o he_o and_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o take_v it_o but_o do_v thrust_v it_o from_o they_o so_o then_o whereas_o s._n paul_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o galathians_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o protest_v open_o with_o full_a mouth_n that_o they_o will_v none_o of_o god_n spirit_n or_o that_o they_o hold_v scorn_v of_o his_o gift_n but_o too_o show_v they_o that_o they_o have_v very_o ill_o regard_v god_n utter_v of_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o church_n what_o ought_v we_o then_o too_o gather_v upon_o this_o text._n that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o mean_n too_o come_v untoo_o he_o we_o must_v take_v they_o awoorth_n even_o by_o fashion_v of_o ourselves_o unto_o they_o for_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o we_o and_o we_o wilful_o forget_v what_o be_v tell_v we_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o reject_v god_n and_o turn_v our_o back_n upon_o he_o of_o purpose_n too_o stray_v away_o from_o he_o wherefore_o if_o we_o intend_v that_o god_n shall_v continue_v his_o grace_n towards_o we_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o too_o the_o mean_n that_o he_o have_v ordain_v for_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o such_o as_o he_o send_v unto_o we_o let_v every_o of_o we_o exercyze_v himself_o alone_o also_o in_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n let_v such_o as_o have_v do_v good_a in_o edify_v the_o church_n have_v room_n &_o place_n among_o we_o and_o let_v we_o not_o shut_v the_o gate_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o s._n paul_n intent_n here_o be_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o faithful_a to_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o swerve_v never_o so_o little_a from_o it_o we_o be_v straight_o in_o the_o high_a way_n to_o destruction_n and_o so_o there_o be_v none_o other_o knit_n of_o god_n unto_o man_n than_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o must_v go_v as_o a_o chain_n that_o can_v be_v break_v betwixt_o they_o and_o paul_n do_v purposely_o once_o again_o call_v it_o the_o preach_n of_o faith_n to_o show_v we_o how_o great_a need_n we_o have_v that_o god_n shall_v prevent_v us._n for_o until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o confusion_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n what_o be_v we_o moreover_o we_o see_v how_o bountiful_a he_o show_v himself_o towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o give_v himself_o full_o to_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n sure_o it_o be_v much_o more_o than_o if_o he_o give_v we_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v in_o they_o for_o what_o be_v all_o other_o thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o see_v that_o god_n have_v declare_v untoo_o we_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o goodness_n add_v that_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v back_o any_o thing_n from_o we_o nor_o show_v himself_o a_o niggard_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o seek_v too_o he_o for_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o want_v we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o it_o and_o if_o we_o swerve_v never_o so_o little_a one_o way_n or_o other_o we_o deserve_v well_o to_o be_v utter_o bereave_v and_o dispossess_v even_o of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v receyve_v already_o and_o thereupon_o s._n paul_n bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n because_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o moreover_o because_o that_o in_o his_o person_n it_o pleaze_v god_n to_o show_v how_o we_o may_v become_v rightuous_a to_o be_v save_v for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n than_o the_o same_o that_o he_o go_v there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o way_n and_o that_o be_v set_v forth_o too_o we_o in_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n s._n paul_n therefore_o say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o the_o same_o be_v reckon_v too_o he_o for_o rightuousnesse_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v abraham_n child_n we_o must_v believe_v here_o we_o have_v too_o call_v too_o remembrance_n the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v declare_v already_o heretofore_o that_o be_v too_o say_v what_o this_o word_n faith_n or_o belief_n import_v it_o be_v not_o a_o single_a believe_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n which_o govern_v the_o world_n but_o a_o assure_v of_o ourselves_o that_o he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o we_o may_v full_o and_o free_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n because_o he_o accept_v we_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n then_o if_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o favour_n and_o fatherly_a love_n of_o our_o god_n and_o take_v such_o warrantise_n of_o it_o by_o his_o promise_n that_o we_o have_v our_o look_n whole_o fasten_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o we_o find_v mean_n too_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o too_o go_v free_o untoo_o he_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o s._n paul_n mean_v by_o that_o word_n faith_n and_o so_o when_o he_o say_v that_o too_o be_v ahrahams_n child_n we_o must_v be_v faithful_a it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v faithful_a christian_n nor_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v except_o we_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o deserve_n &_o moreover_o so_o beat_v down_o and_o dismay_v in_o ourselves_o as_o we_o may_v not_o wot_v where_o too_o become_v nor_o seek_v any_o other_o mean_n of_o salvation_n than_o in_o the_o free_a goodness_n which_o god_n offer_v we_o when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v fordo_v &_o damn_v in_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o we_o must_v not_o cease_v to_o have_v full_a hope_n and_o trust_v of_o salvation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o christian_a that_o be_v too_o wit_n to_o be_v utter_o out_o of_o hart_n in_o himself_o in_o consideration_n that_o he_o bring_v

clothe_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o be_v out_o of_o hart_n in_o ourselves_o as_o we_o see_v that_o cain_n be_v who_o be_v

against_o god_n &_o in_o like_a case_n be_v it_o with_o all_o reprobate_n or_o cast_v away_o but_o we_o must_v so_o taste_v of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o god_n as_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o settle_v

we_o than_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v unite_v untoo_o god_n but_o our_o frailty_n be_v to_o great_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o excuce_n many_o folk_n allege_v think_v to_o

against_o god_n and_o the_o say_a desire_n of_o have_v credit_n among_o man_n he_o say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v too_o bite_v one_o another_o neither_o must_v we_o malice_n one_o another_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o ambition_n or_o vayngloriousnesse_n can_v reign_v in_o we_o but_o incontinent_o there_o will_v be_v hartburn_n and_o every_o man_n will_v

he_o have_v not_o his_o right_n till_o he_o see_v his_o neighbour_n bring_v in_o contempt_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o pride_n bring_v it_o tend_v not_o only_o too_o the_o advaunce_n of_o a_o man_n

all_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o even_o the_o least_o sort_n ought_v to_o be_v honourable_a in_o our_o eye_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v lead_v with_o ambition_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o every_o of_o
