make_v then selue_o unworthy_a of_o it_o for_o some_o be_v full_a of_o wiliness_n &_o malice_n like_o fox_n some_o be_v full_a of_o pride_n like_o lion_n some_o be_v like_o raven_a wolf_n that_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o devour_v all_o and_o othersome_a be_v full_a of_o shrewd_a turn_n and_o harmefulnesse_n like_a ape_n all_o these_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o be_v do_v cut_v themselves_o off_o from_o the_o array_n &_o company_n of_o neighbour_n but_o in_o this_o case_n we_o may_v observe_v god_n order_n and_o although_o man_n on_o their_o side_n deserve_v not_o to_o be_v count_v &_o take_v for_o neighbour_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o bear_v they_o love_n we_o show_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v overwey_n our_o own_o naughtiness_n we_o see_v then_o that_o such_o as_o be_v our_o enemy_n &_o labour_n to_o devour_v we_o do_v notwithstanding_o not_o cease_v to_o be_v our_o neibor_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o order_n that_o god_n have_v set_v and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n tell_v we_o 46._o that_o it_o be_v no_o charity_n to_o recompense_v he_o that_o have_v do_v we_o a_o good_a turn_n or_o service_n nor_o to_o

god_n &_o his_o law_n and_o when_o we_o have_v regard_n of_o our_o own_o profit_n it_o be_v rather_o a_o love_a of_o ourselves_o than_o any_o point_n of_o charity_n for_o the_o mark_n that_o chatitie_n shoot_v at_o be_v god_n and_o the_o communion_n or_o fellowship_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v among_o we_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o than_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o true_a proof_n that_o we_o be_v desirous_a to_o love_n god_n when_o we_o indever_n to_o do_v good_a even_o too_o they_o that_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o moreover_o the_o add_v of_o this_o say_n as_o ourselves_o be_v not_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v first_o love_v himself_o and_o then_o afterward_o love_v his_o neybour_n next_o but_o our_o lord_n mean_v too_o rip_v up_o the_o sore_a th●●_n hinder_v we_o too_o live_v in_o charity_n which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o if_o man_n be_v not_o so_o give_v to_o selfelove_n as_o they_o be_v there_o will_v be_v good_a love_n &_o agreement_n among_o all_o man_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o love_v ourselves_o and_o the_o excess_n of_o that_o affection_n blind_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a that_o it_o bereeve_v we_o of_o all_o reason_n equity_n and_o uprightness_n therefore_o god_n say_v that_o we_o must_v love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o for_o be_v not_o that_o say_v express_o we_o will_v talk_v much_o of_o love_v our_o neighbour_n &_o say_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v love_v but_o all_o will_v be_v but_o dissimulation_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o protest_v that_o they_o will_v their_o enemy_n no_o harm_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o wish_v they_o good_a and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o procure_v they_o good_a but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n that_o god_n set_v down_o here_o &_o let_v every_o man_n look_v into_o himself_o &_o then_o let_v he_o judge_v whether_o he_o love_v himself_o to_o much_o or_o no_o or_o whether_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v towards_o his_o neighbour_n be_v not_o overfaynt_a &_o cold_a to_o be_v short_a here_o god_n mean_v to_o remedy_v the_o hypocrisy_n wherewith_o we_o be_v too_o much_o blind_v also_o he_o mean_v to_o waken_v man_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o leave_v their_o flatter_a of_o themselves_o when_o it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o you_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o but_o you_o must_v love_v your_o neighbour_n as_o yourselves_o and_o thereby_o we_o see_v how_o far_o we_o be_v wide_a from_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o fight_v against_o our_o own_o nature_n that_o we_o may_v obey_v god_n what_o be_v then_o the_o true_a exercise_n of_o christian_n it_o be_v to_o acknowledge_v &_o

and_o this_o be_v too_o shame_v they_o the_o more_o which_o be_v so_o flesh_v in_o their_o quarrelling_n and_o brawling_n and_o do_v so_o close_o their_o eye_n against_o all_o reason_n that_o they_o

so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o quarrel_v and_o brawl_v one_o with_o another_o as_o we_o do_v but_o we_o run_v wilful_o and_o as_o it_o be_v of_o set_a purpose_n into_o our_o destruction_n and_o that_o

we_o express_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n give_v himself_o and_o he_o content_v not_o himself_o too_o say_v that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o the_o world_n in_o common_a for_o that_o have_v

be_v worse_o than_o out_o of_o our_o wit_n if_o we_o accept_v not_o such_o a_o benefit_n 16_o but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a common_a doctrine_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 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 but_o give_v he_o too_o death_n for_o we_o and_o also_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v his_o deadly_a

bountiful_o yea_o and_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n 19_o for_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o call_v to_o mind_n how_o saint_n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n say_v that_o we_o love_v not_o god_n first_o as_o if_o shall_v say_v we_o do_v not_o prevent_v he_o as_o those_o think_v they_o do_v which_o say_v i_o have_v do_v he_o such_o service_n and_o such_o for_o alas_o what_o be_v it_o that_o we_o can_v do_v too_o he_o but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o yea_o even_o at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n and_o come_v even_o then_o to_o seek_v we_o out_o in_o the_o very_o deep_a of_o the_o bottomless_a dungeon_n and_o thereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o he_o do_v not_o dispize_n or_o shake_v off_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o knit_n uppe_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v hythertoo_o see_v for_o here_o he_o mean_v too_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n must_v needs_o possess_v those_o that_o make_v none_o account_v of_o god_n mercy_n that_o

since_o do_v both_o hate_v we_o and_o love_v we_o before_o the_o reconciliation_n be_v make_v and_o why_o love_v he_o we_o because_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o again_o although_o he_o see_v we_o

37._o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o who_o be_v it_o

wretched_a it_o be_v nor_o also_o the_o remedy_n which_o we_o must_v apply_v too_o it_o for_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v put_v our_o trust_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v

for_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o fashion_v himself_o to_o our_o ability_n it_o become_v we_o to_o regard_v what_o we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o do_v who_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v step_v up_o and_o

no_o excuse_n too_o say_v i_o be_o weak_a or_o rather_o utter_o untoward_a and_o i_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o think_v one_o good_a thought_n 5_o accord_v as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v it_o be_v

least_o without_o any_o exception_n now_o if_o we_o be_v all_o condemn_v even_o by_o the_o law_n what_o will_v we_o more_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v tootoo_o much_o blind_v

that_o we_o can_v not_o compass_v it_o in_o his_o sight_n but_o that_o we_o must_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v s._n paul_n allege_v not_o here_o any_o text_n too_o show_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v

say_v that_o god_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o under_o sin_n 32_o too_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v mercy_n on_o all_o but_o there_o he●●seth_v yet_o one_o step_n high_o for_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o

to_o the_o end_n than_o that_o we_o may_v be_v confirm_v more_o and_o more_o we_o must_v consider_v well_o that_o when_o baptism_n be_v celebrate_v it_o touch_v we_o very_o near_o and_o god_n call_v

outward_a government_n and_o the_o better_a to_o express_v that_o he_o allege_v a_o similitude_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o for_o if_o a_o father_n leave_v his_o child_n

nevertheless_o they_o have_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o themselves_o but_o in_o stead_n of_o follow_v their_o wanton_a appetite_n man_n give_v they_o schoolebutter_n with_o a_o rod_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o although_o the_o child_n be_v heir_n yet_o have_v they_o not_o liberty_n at_o the_o first_o day_n because_o they_o be_v too_o weak_a and_o have_v neither_o wisdom_n nor_o discretion_n now_o according_a to_o this_o similitude_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o father_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o jew_n which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n be_v god_n child_n and_o heir_n as_o well_o as_o

be_v that_o time_n past_a and_o go_v say_v he_o for_o god_n have_v send_v his_o only_a son_n in_o somuch_o that_o in_o our_o lord_n we_o be_v man_n grow_v and_o be_v come_v to_o such_o perfection_n of_o age_n that_o the_o government_n which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v now_o superfluous_a &_o unprofitable_a yea_o &_o it_o shall_v be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o god_n will_n and_o to_o the_o

and_o true_o abel_n sacrifice_n be_v not_o accept_v for_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o his_o own_o person_n nor_o for_o any_o value_n that_o be_v in_o he_o but_o only_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o

also_o to_o day_n and_o shall_v be_v still_o to_o the_o end_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v well_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n as_o a_o thing_n undoubted_a &_o out_o of_o all_o question_n namely_o that_o we_o in_o these_o day_n have_v not_o any_o new_a hope_n of_o attain_v to_o salvation_n but_o the_o very_a same_o that_o have_v be_v at_o all_o time_n heretofore_o and_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o a_o newfound_a doctrine_n forge_v within_o these_o few_o year_n but_o the_o very_a same_o doctrine_n wherein_o all_o the_o rightuous_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v be_v instruct_v and_o true_o it_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o that_o we_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o adoption_n when_o we_o once_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o s._n paul_n intend_v to_o rebuke_v the_o

of_o nothing_o but_o of_o the_o incorruptible_a seed_n of_o god_n word_n whereby_o we_o be_v beget_v new_a again_o now_o when_o god_n adopt_v we_o and_o receive_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n they_o do_v he_o avow_v we_o to_o be_v the_o spiritual_a offspring_n of_o abraham_n how_o then_o can_v we_o be_v abraham_n child_n except_o we_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o faith_n you_o see_v then_o that_o paul_n handle_v of_o this_o point_n here_o be_v to_o good_a purpose_n namely_o to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o from_o all_o time_n out_o of_o mind_n then_o have_v not_o be_v any_o other_o mean_a to_o renew_v man_n to_o salvation_n and_o too_o bring_v they_o into_o god_n favour_n and_o love_n than_o by_o trust_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o flee_v altogether_o unto_o he_o for_o

it_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o age_n and_o here_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v further_o that_o it_o be_v great_a wrong_n to_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n to_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o the_o

with_o many_o affliction_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o father_n special_o of_o those_o who_o god_n mark_v out_o too_o make_v they_o excellent_a be_v all_o mirror_n of_o invincible_a patience_n for_o what_o thing_n endure_v abraham_n how_o hard_a and_o great_a encounter_n do_v he_o hear_v out_o what_o manner_n of_o temptation_n do_v isaac_n and_o likewise_o jacob_n abide_v again_o what_o virtue_n see_v we_o in_o david_n now_o if_o they_o have_v set_v their_o mind_n upon_o this_o world_n they_o have_v be_v in_o worse_a plight_n than_o the_o brute_n beast_n therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o look_v high_o and_o that_o do_v they_o witness_v sufficient_o not_o only_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n but_o also_o by_o deed_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o point_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o father_n hope_v for_o the_o selfsame_o heritage_n that_o we_o look_v for_o even_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o agree_v with_o abraham_n david_n &_o the_o other_o holy_a king_n &_o prophet_n in_o faith_n we_o shall_v be_v gather_v into_o the_o heavenly_a life_n with_o they_o &_o obtain_v the_o same_o crown_n of_o salvation_n with_o they_o 9_o which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o faith_n as_o s._n peter_n term_v it_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n furthermore_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n he_o do_v it_o always_o to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n towards_o we_o and_o the_o privilege_n which_o we_o

and_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n hereof_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v brief_o which_o be_v the_o rule_n whereby_o to_o walk_v in_o obedience_n towards_o god_n 11._o according_a to_o the._n 2._o of_o tit._n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n grace_v appear_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v lead_v a_o holy_a conversation_n here_o beneath_o in_o this_o world_n in_o modesty_n &_o rightuousnes_n

heaven_n you_o see_v they_o that_o the_o thing_n wherein_o christian_n must_v exercise_v themselves_o &_o whereto_o they_o must_v whole_o apply_v themselves_o be_v first_o to_o know_v that_o they_o have_v not_o their_o everlasting_a rest_n &_o heritage_n here_o but_o that_o the_o world_n be_v but_o as_o a_o strange_a country_n wherethrough_a they_o must_v pass_v and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v always_o have_v their_o eye_n lift_v up_o to_o heavenwarde_a that_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n but_o that_o can_v be_v do_v but_o the_o faithful_a must_v needs_o therewithal_o call_v upon_o

and_o unhonest_a but_o that_o we_o must_v lead_v a_o honest_a life_n the_o third_o be_v that_o we_o wrong_v no_o man_n nor_o use_v any_o deceit_n or_o cruelty_n but_o that_o we_o indever_n to_o do_v our_o neighbour_n good_a
imperfection_n as_o it_o abash_v we_o too_o see_v it_o and_o we_o can_v but_o even_o loath_a ourselves_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o examine_v our_o own_o life_n well_o before_o we_o judge_v of_o other_o man_n for_o see_v that_o god_n do_v we_o the_o honour_n to_o make_v every_o of_o we_o his_o own_o judge_n we_o do_v but_o increase_v our_o own_o damnation_n before_o he_o when_o we_o be_v so_o rough_a and_o severe_a towards_o those_o that_o have_v offend_v and_o forget_v our_o own_o sin_n now_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shal●_n have_v praise_n in_o himself_o only_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v when_o man_n examine_v themselves_o they_o shall_v find_v cause_n in_o they_o wherefore_o to_o be_v praise_v but_o that_o the_o true_a praise_n be_v that_o which_o have_v some_o substantialnesse_n in_o itself_o which_o be_v that_o every_o man_n know_v what_o he_o himself_o be_v and_o judge_v of_o himself_o without_o compare_v with_o other_o as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v always_o say_v that_o a_o purblind_a person_n be_v cleersighted_a among_o they_o that_o be_v stark_o blind_a and_o among_o the_o black_a moor_n he_o that_o be_v tawny_a will_v seem_v white_a if_o

we_o have_v wherefore_o too_o commend_v and_o esteem_v ourselves_o but_o that_o all_o the_o praise_n 〈…〉_o challenge_v too_o themselves_o be_v but_o wound_n and_o smoke_n and_o stark_o lie_v because_o

before_o god_n we_o must_v try_v ourselves_o if_o a_o man_n say_v yea_o but_o may_v a_o man_n praise_v himself_o it_o be_v so_o certain_a that_o we_o must_v be_v void_a of_o all_o glory_n to_o put_v

a_o one_o i_o be_o as_o good_a a_o man_n as_o he_o when_o this_o greere_n be_v pull_v down_o then_o shall_v a_o man_n see_v whither_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v praise_v or_o no._n now_o of_o a_o truth_n
