18._o for_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o that_o such_o as_o know_v the_o love_n which_o god_n show_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v all_o that_o they_o can_v wish_v upward_o and_o

we_o shall_v have_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o wisdom_n we_o shall_v no_o more_o need_v too_o trot_v here_o and_o there_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o need_n too_o go_v up_o nor_o down_o nor_o far_o

it_o not_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v worse_o than_o bewitch_v and_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v make_v we_o stark_a beast_n so_o then_o let_v we_o undestand_v first_o of_o all_o that_o all_o

fullness_n of_o all_o goodness_n in_o he_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o too_o be_v hale_v too_o and_o fro_o or_o too_o take_v too_o great_a pain_n in_o seek_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o nor_o final_o too_o wander_v any_o more_o abroad_o but_o to_o stick_v whole_o unto_o he_o as_o too_o our_o perfect_a and_o sovere_v in_o blissfulness_n three_o we_o must_v consider_v in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o infinite_a grace_n that_o be_v bring_v we_o and_o impart_v too_o we_o by_o his_o mean_n and_o saint_n paul_n in_o say_v here_o the_o love_n send_v we_o too_o the_o wellspring_n for_o though_o we_o know_v all_o god_n secret_n and_o be_v privy_a too_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o will_n what_o be_v it_o till_o we_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v we_o for_o we_o see_v that_o when_o any_o man_n speak_v of_o god_n too_o the_o unbeliever_n it_o do_v so_o grieve_v they_o that_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o too_o become_v and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o matter_n of_o heaviness_n too_o they_o because_o they_o conceive_v nothing_o but_o rigour_n in_o he_o but_o when_o his_o grace_n and_o fatherly_a goodness_n be_v utter_v unto_o we_o as_o he_o have_v show_v it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o come_v we_o bold_o unto_o he_o and_o we_o be_v no_o more_o afraid_a of_o his_o seat_n but_o have_v familiar_a access_n to_o it_o and_o therein_o he_o do_v we_o a_o inestimable_a good_a turn_n such_o a_o one_o as_o surmount_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o can_v wish_v in_o this_o world_n according_a as_o s._n paul_n set_v we_o it_o down_o here_o and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o this_o say_n the_o love_n of_o god_n import_v and_o he_o say_v purposely_o in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o without_o he_o we_o can_v not_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n for_o let_v jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v let_v alone_o and_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n and_o that_o we_o do_v apply_v all_o our_o wit_n thereabout_o and_o therewithal_o that_o we_o bethink_v we_o of_o ourselves_o also_o what_o be_v all_o this_o we_o shall_v find_v such_o a_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n in_o god_n as_o shall_v swallow_v we_o up_o like_o a_o deep_a gulf_n again_o his_o justice_n be_v so_o perfect_a as_o it_o will_v be_v much_o less_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o stand_v before_o it_o than_o for_o snow_n to_o abide_v against_o the_o sun_n now_o when_o we_o come_v too_o ourselves_o we_o must_v needs_o see_v a_o sea_n of_o all_o misery_n before_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o sense_n be_v blind_a that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o virtue_n that_o we_o be_v give_v too_o all_o evil_a that_o we_o be_v hold_v down_o under_o the_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o nothing_o in_o we_o no_o not_o even_o of_o the_o excellent_a thing_n that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v which_o be_v not_o loathsome_a before_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o once_o know_v these_o two_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n when_o we_o have_v once_o conceive_v a_o terror_n of_o god_n majesty_n and_o be_v drown_v in_o despair_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o ourselves_o then_o let_v we_o afterward_o go_v seek_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o can_v be_v and_o let_v we_o call_v the_o angel_n too_o help_v and_o they_o will_v come_v never_o the_o near_o we_o for_o all_o that_o let_v we_o take_v the_o he_o saint_n and_o she_o saint_n and_o by_o what_o title_n can_v they_o belong_v too_o we_o nay_o rather_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o they_o and_o again_o will_v god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o pureness_n receive_v we_o we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v so_o wretched_a creature_n think_v we_o that_o he_o will_v intermeddle_v himself_o with_o our_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n no_o but_o contrariwise_o he_o must_v needs_o abhor_v we_o so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v here_o express_o of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o do_v just_o hate_v we_o so_o long_o as_o he_o behold_v we_o in_o our_o own_o natural_a state_n add_v immediate_o that_o the_o same_o love_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o bloodshed_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o our_o spot_v shall_v be_v scour_v away_o thereby_o and_o we_o be_v so_o cleanse_v as_o we_o may_v not_o bring_v any_o thing_n hensfoorth_o before_o god_n which_o may_v displease_v he_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v we_o discharge_v and_o quit_v of_o all_o our_o debt_n because_o he_o have_v yield_v perfect_a obedience_n lo_o how_o our_o stubbornness_n be_v do_v away_o and_o shall_v never_o come_v too_o account_n because_o he_o offer_v himself_o in_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o lo_o how_o we_o be_v set_v free_a from_o all_o thraldom_n because_o he_o have_v overcome_v both_o the_o devil_n and_o death_n and_o sin_n too_o our_o benefit_n lo_o how_o we_o at_o this_o day_n enjoy_v his_o victory_n and_o make_v our_o triumph_n of_o it_o and_o so_o we_o see_v brief_o how_o god_n have_v love_v we_o in_o jesus_n christ._n again_o when_o we_o know_v this_o we_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o we_o must_v not_o

in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v jesus_n christ_n alone_o as_o though_o he_o be_v too_o far_o of_o from_o we_o for_o he_o come_v near_o we_o yea_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o he_o will_v have_v we_o knit_v

then_o that_o he_o love_v we_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o unworthiness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v resemble_v he_o in_o so_o do_v

as_o god_n ordain_v it_o and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o jew_n use_v it_o holy_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a warrant_n to_o they_o of_o god_n adoption_n as_o if_o he_o have_v cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o the_o

he_o show_v that_o the_o sacrament_n take_v and_o borrow_v their_o force_n of_o god_n word_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nomore_o but_o the_o bare_a sign_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o great_a

of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 4._o that_o charity_n have_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o it_o be_v gentle_a and_o kind_a heart_a second_o that_o it_o move_v we_o too_o be_v low_o and_o meek_a and_o three_o that_o it_o be_v patient_a and_o suffer_v all_o thing_n those_o be_v three_o quality_n which_o paul_n attribute_v unto_o lovingness_n for_o if_o we_o demand_v what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o holy_a life_n 14._o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o love_n be_v the_o full_a performance_n thereof_o 5._o because_o it_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o perfection_n and_o the_o end_n and_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n lo_o how_o these_o text_n do_v teach_v we_o charity_n again_o our_o lord_n also_o intend_v too_o conclude_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n 39_o set_v down_o these_o two_o point_n namely_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o our_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o our_o neighbour_n 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 whole_a life_n shall_v be_v utter_o loathsome_a before_o god_n until_o charity_n be_v settle_v in_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o she_o govern_v we_o and_o we_o tend_v always_o unto_o she_o yea_o and_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 without_o cause_n show_v what_o be_v betoken_a by_o charity_n or_o love_n for_o he_o have_v not_o set_v down_o the_o bare_a word_n and_o only_o say_v be_v you_o charitable_a but_o he_o have_v also_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 insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v right_o hard_a for_o we_o too_o be_v low_o mind_v towards_o man_n when_o we_o can_v hold_v ourselves_o meek_o in_o obedience_n under_o god_n now_o then_o let_v we_o fight_v 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 like_a too_o other_o folk_n how_o partial_o do_v i_o deal_v this_o consideration_n alone_o ought_v too_o tame_v we_o sufficient_o though_o there_o be_v neither_o law_n nor_o gospel_n wherefore_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o charity_n import_v these_o three_o thing_n let_v we_o learn_v too_o be_v patient_a not_o only_a when_o any_o wrong_n be_v do_v we_o but_o also_o when_o we_o see_v our_o neighbour_n too_o be_v weak_a and_o feeble_a and_o not_o yet_o come_v too_o such_o perfection_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o well_o forward_o and_o settle_v in_o god_n word_n as_o we_o will_v wish_v yet_o let_v we_o pity_v they_o and_o with_o all_o meekness_n endeavour_n too_o use_v such_o correction_n towards_o they_o as_o neither_o their_o vice_n may_v be_v nourish_v nor_o the_o party_n themselves_o be_v cast_v in_o despair_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o that_o strain_v now_o heeruppon_o saint_n paul_n infer_v further_a that_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n for_o he_o set_v here_o the_o unity_n of_o spirit_n as_o a_o mark_n that_o be_v requisite_n in_o the_o church_n and_o flock_n of_o god_n insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n among_o ourselves_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n with_o god_n and_o therewithal_o he_o show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v see_v brief_o before_o which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o at_o one_o among_o ourselves_o god_n disclaim_v we_o and_o tell_v we_o we_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o this_o unity_n therefore_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o ought_v too_o be_v much_o set_v by_o now_o adays_o see_v it_o be_v the_o mean_a in_o respect_n whereof_o we_o be_v acknowledge_v for_o god_n child_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o unbeliever_n have_v their_o confederacy_n and_o be_v so_o link_v one_o too_o another_o as_o there_o be_v not_o a_o straight_a alliance_n too_o be_v find_v

their_o life_n and_o all_o their_o light_n but_o here_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o spiritual_a state_n of_o the_o church_n for_o whereas_o all_o adam_n race_n be_v corrupt_v and_o accurse_a by_o

protest_v there_o that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o world_n nor_o of_o they_o that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o retinue_n and_o heritage_n he_o let_v those_o go_v too_o destruction_n but_o he_o will_v have_v the_o body_n of_o his_o church_n too_o be_v true_o knit_v together_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v do_v in_o deed_n it_o appear_v not_o we_o be_v so_o set_v asunder_o here_o that_o the_o near_a of_o we_o think_v but_o every_o man_n on_o himself_o but_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o god_n have_v reform_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o give_v we_o a_o special_a life_n which_o be_v that_o his_o grace_n shall_v show_v itself_o in_o we_o &_o that_o this_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v utter_v his_o power_n in_o we_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o although_o we_o wander_v here_o &_o there_o in_o this_o world_n and_o every_o of_o we_o be_v put_v asunder_o from_o his_o neighbour_n according_a too_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n yet_o must_v not_o that_o let_v we_o to_o be_v so_o join_v under_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o none_o of_o we_o be_v wed_v too_o his_o own_o profit_n nor_o none_o of_o we_o so_o love_v himself_o as_o that_o he_o shall_v despise_v his_o brethren_n but_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v gather_v together_o under_o the_o mastership_n of_o our_o god_n and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o we_o also_o must_v show_v by_o our_o do_n that_o we_o be_v desirous_a too_o be_v all_o one_o in_o the_o power_n of_o that_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v so_o spread_v out_o everywhere_o therefore_o we_o see_v here_o how_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o too_o help_v one_o another_o to_o the_o attey●e●●ent_n of_o the_o perfect_a unity_n which_o god_n have_v begin_v in_o we_o already_o and_o too_o bring_v

already_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v the_o creator_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o breath_n strength_n into_o all_o thing_n both_o above_o and_o beneath_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 29._o that_o when_o he_o withdraw_v his_o spirit_n all_o thing_n be_v trouble_v and_o final_o turn_v into_o nothing_o there_o be_v not_o then_o any_o brute_n beast_n nor_o any_o tree_n on_o the_o earth_n nor_o any_o bird_n in_o the_o air_n nor_o any_o fish_n in_o the_o water_n which_o have_v not_o his_o be_v and_o continuance_n by_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n because_o he_o have_v not_o only_o give_v they_o their_o be_v for_o once_o at_o the_o first_o but_o also_o maintain_v and_o uphold_v they_o still_o as_o for_o we_o we_o have_v much_o more_o as_o i_o say_v even_o now_o for_o we_o not_o only_o live_v in_o this_o world_n and_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o here_o insomuch_o that_o we_o have_v eye_n too_o receive_v light_n and_o ear_n to_o hear_v and_o the_o fruition_n of_o all_o our_o sense_n but_o also_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o too_o gather_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o make_v we_o mortal_a man_n and_o that_o we_o hold_v this_o present_a transitory_a life_n of_o he_o 4._o but_o also_o print_v his_o mark_n in_o we_o too_o take_v we_o and_o avow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o thereunto_o govern_v we_o himself_o and_o be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o too_o make_v his_o own_o righteousness_n dwell_v in_o we_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n in_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v come_v so_o near_o

afore_o because_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a ghost_n 16._o we_o ought_v to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o all_o the_o defylement_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o every_o of_o we_o too_o acknowledge_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v but_o we_o must_v also_o endeavour_n too_o govern_v ourselves_o always_o in_o such_o unity_n &_o
