wipe_v out_o and_o baptism_n be_v hereof_o a_o sure_a testimony_n and_o witness_n unto_o we_o for_o by_o it_o have_v we_o be_v wash_v from_o all_o the_o filth_n and_o pollution_n which_o be_v in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v appear_v pure_a and_o clean_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n yea_o which_o more_o be_v those_o mortal_a and_o deadly_a sin_n which_o be_v acuialli_v commit_v shall_v not_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o because_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o god_n have_v bury_v our_o sin_n and_o will_v not_o regard_v it_o but_o we_o must_v notwithstanding_o have_v respect_n unto_o it_o and_o beware_v diligent_o how_o we_o offend_v but_o if_o any_o abuse_n and_o deceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v persuade_v they_o conceive_v no_o wicked_a ked_o desire_n this_o shall_v occasion_n god_o to_o call_v they_o to_o their_o account_n and_o why_o for_o when_o man_n flatter_v themselves_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v and_o lo_o why_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o much_o endeavoured_n to_o blind_v the_o eye_n of_o man_n in_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v sin_n yea_o we_o see_v how_o the_o papist_n think_v that_o the_o gross_a fault_n that_o may_v be_v be_v soon_o wipe_v out_o with_o one_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n or_o with_o one_o asperge_n of_o holy_a water_n they_o think_v these_o thing_n be_v nothing_o and_o they_o sport_v themselves_o with_o god_o as_o with_o some_o little_a child_n but_o let_v we_o contrariwise_o remember_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v not_o only_a slug_n in_o sin_n but_o shall_v be_v great_o incline_v to_o flatter_v ourselves_o in_o our_o vice_n let_v we_o i_o say_v remember_v to_o take_v unto_o we_o this_o glass_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o behold_v ourselves_o in_o that_o we_o abuse_v not_o nor_o deceive_v ourselves_o a_o man_n may_v have_v his_o face_n foul_a and_o dirty_a every_o one_o shall_v mockee_n he_o and_o yet_o he_o shall_v see_v nothing_o thereon_o but_o when_o her_o look_v in_o a_o glass_n and_o see_v all_o his_o face_n soil_v than_o he_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o go_v and_o wash_v it_o so_o have_v we_o need_v here_o to_o do_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_o be_v as_o a_o glass_n to_o show_v we_o our_o filthiness_n that_o we_o may_v be_v confound_v and_o ashamed_a of_o our_o wickedness_n but_o we_o must_v have_v to_o consider_v of_o our_o condition_n a_o most_o clear_a and_o bright_a glass_n if_o we_o read_v this_o only_a thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v thou_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o murderer_n nor_o adulterer_n every_o one_o will_v make_v himself_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v guilty_a in_o nothing_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o this_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v lo_o god_o sound_v not_o only_o the_o depth_n of_o our_o heart_n but_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o imagination_n there_o be_v nothing_o which_o he_o try_v not_o and_o examine_v and_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o shall_v account_v for_o no_o fault_n shall_v be_v condemn_v before_o god_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o they_o if_o we_o on_o our_o part_n will_v not_o judge_v they_o now_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o be_v to_o magnify_v the_o mercy_n of_o our_o god_n that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o many_o way_n culpable_a he_o yet_o receive_v we_o as_o just_a and_o righteous_a let_v we_o compare_v together_o the_o justice_n we_o obtain_v by_o the_o

rather_o be_v we_o not_o plunge_v into_o such_o bottomless_a gulf_n that_o when_o we_o shall_v begin_v to_o make_v our_o account_n we_o shall_v be_v overwhelm_v and_o confound_v with_o the_o multitude_n of_o our_o offence_n a_o hundred_o millian_n of_o fault_n be_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o they_o which_o we_o have_v commit_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_o we_o be_v guilty_a in_o so_o many_o that_o there_o be_v neither_o end_n nor_o measure_n in_o our_o sin_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_o receive_v we_o so_o to_o mercy_n that_o we_o be_v account_v just_a before_o he_o as_o if_o there_o be_v in_o we_o all_o integrity_n and_o perfection_n and_o that_o we_o want_v nothing_o of_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n therefore_o when_o god_n bestow_v on_o we_o this_o gift_n of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n which_o have_v be_v purchase_v we_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o will_v now_o do_v he_o this_o honour_n to_o say_v lord_n it_o be_v in_o thy_o mere_a goodness_n and_o free_a mercy_n that_o our_o salvation_n consist_v when_o god_o i_o say_v pardon_v we_o such_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o sin_n and_o offence_n and_o clothe_v we_o with_o his_o own_o justice_n see_v we_o not_o how_o far_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o for_o this_o inestimable_a goodness_n so_o then_o when_o the_o law_n of_o god_n shall_v have_v utter_o confound_v we_o see_v not_o only_o our_o concupiscence_n exceed_v all_o number_n but_o that_o we_o be_v bury_v in_o they_o as_o under_o great_a and_o huge_a mountain_n if_o god_o will_v severe_o deal_v with_o we_o for_o they_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v we_o in_o despair_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v beat_v to_o the_o ground_n he_o help_v we_o up_o again_o when_o he_o see_v our_o weakness_n he_o reach_v we_o out_o his_o hand_n and_o call_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o will_v we_o to_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n when_o he_o for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n will_v impute_v none_o of_o our_o sin_n unto_o we_o loe_o in_o what_o sort_n the_o faithful_a continue_v in_o glorify_v of_o god_n although_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o condemn_v and_o at_o this_o end_n we_o must_v always_o begin_v to_o be_v veterlie_o confound_v in_o ourselves_o that_o our_o lord_n may_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o deep_a dungeon_n of_o death_n see_v that_o our_o only_a salvation_n lie_v and_o consist_v in_o his_o mere_a mercy_n and_o grace_n now_o withal_o let_v we_o walk_v in_o all_o heedfulness_n let_v we_o diligent_o look_v unto_o ourselves_o know_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v employ_v great_a pain_n to_o serve_v god_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v shun_v all_o occasion_n which_o may_v lead_v we_o unto_o evil_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v subdue_v our_o lust_n and_o affection_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v further_o endeavour_v to_o repress_v wicked_a thought_n we_o be_v yet_o to_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o to_o stand_v in_o great_a fear_n of_o the_o anger_n and_o displeasure_n of_o god_n for_o although_o through_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n sin_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o yet_o do_v it_o always_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o stain_v we_o still_o with_o some_o blot_n of_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n let_v we_o therefore_o bewail_v ourselves_o hereof_o and_o lament_v in_o such_o sort_n that_o we_o be_v hereby_o incite_v and_o prick_v forward_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n we_o see_v in_o what_o sort_n saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o that_o he_o have_v profit_v so_o far_o and_o be_v come_v even_o to_o a_o angelical_a holiness_n oh_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o 24._o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n and_o why_o be_v it_o so_o that_o he_o desire_v death_n in_o himself_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o he_o see_v sin_n abide_v in_o his_o body_n now_o moreover_o we_o must_v know_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o although_o every_o day_n we_o see_v a_o millian_a of_o fault_n in_o we_o to_o be_v discourage_v loe_o why_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v the_o faithful_a to_o flee_v from_o vice_n say_v not_o let_v not_o sin_n dwell_v in_o you_o but_o he_o say_v 12._o let_v not_o sin_n reign_v in_o you_o i_o grant_v it_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o sin_n dwell_v not_o at_o all_o in_o we_o but_o although_o we_o be_v not_o altogether_o rid_v thereof_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v to_o much_o dismay_v but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o sin_n dwell_v in_o we_o let_v we_o know_v that_o this_o ●s_n first_o to_o warn_v we_o of_o our_o miserable_a condition_n and_o again_o to_o admonish_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v exercise_v continual_o in_o combat_n and_o fight_v with_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v more_o feruenthe_n desire_v the_o aid_n and_o help_v of_o our_o god_n pray_v he_o to_o fortify_v and_o strengthen_v we_o by_o his_o power_n and_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o down_o
lo_o he_o be_v exempt_v out_o of_o this_o condemnation_n some_o than_o shall_v be_v find_v which_o shall_v have_v observe_v the_o law_n of_o god_o and_o therefore_o all_o be_v not_o curse_a but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v that_o the_o law_n be_v unpossible_a and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o take_v this_o as_o grant_v he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v proceed_v in_o his_o argument_n without_o sense_n or_o reason_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n have_v take_v and_o ground_v themselves_o upon_o a_o principle_n and_o ground_n altogether_o contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n yea_o they_o be_v so_o rude_a and_o ignorant_a that_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o learned_a and_o understand_v the_o abc_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o christian_a religion_n so_o then_o let_v we_o diligent_o note_v that_o when_o question_n be_v of_o the_o law_n of_o god_o we_o must_v not_o measure_v it_o by_o our_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o respect_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v but_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n yea_o but_o what_o then_o shall_v be_v the_o mean_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n for_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o all_o the_o world_n must_v needs_o be_v damn_v i_o grant_v it_o well_o and_o it_o behove_v it_o be_v so_o that_o be_v that_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o we_o will_v have_v salvation_n in_o christ_n jesus_n for_o how_o shall_v we_o seek_v unto_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n except_o we_o know_v the_o want_n and_o need_v we_o have_v thereof_o man_n will_v not_o seem_v beggar_n by_o their_o good_a will._n but_o as_o long_o as_o we_o shall_v think_v any_o justice_n to_o be_v in_o we_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v any_o care_n to_o seek_v it_o elsewhere_o than_o in_o ourselves_o &_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v whole_o rid_v of_o all_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o virtue_n we_o must_v perceive_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o be_v bend_v against_o we_o we_o must_v feel_v the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o death_n which_o lie_v on_o and_o press_v we_o for_o without_o this_o it_o can_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o obtain_v mercy_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n but_o this_o thing_n require_v a_o more_o large_a and_o ample_a declaration_n let_v we_o therefore_o first_o of_o all_o bear_n in_o mind_n that_o when_o we_o feel_v any_o evil_a thought_n to_o arise_v in_o we_o and_o that_o our_o appetite_n and_o lust_n with_o any_o pleasant_a motion_n shall_v tickle_v and_o stir_v we_o up_o unto_o evil_n that_o we_o be_v culpable_a and_o also_o guilty_a of_o sin_n before_o god_n but_o here_o one_o may_v demand_v this_o question_n whether_o if_o when_o a_o man_n conceive_v a_o wicked_a thought_n and_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o rest_v on_o it_o that_o he_o detest_v it_o before_o he_o feel_v any_o prick_n and_o provocation_n thereof_o whether_o this_o be_v sin_n as_o there_o be_v many_o thought_n which_o touch_v not_o our_o heart_n which_o move_v we_o not_o at_o all_o which_o engender_v and_o breed_v no_o wicked_a lust_n in_o we_o yea_o a_o man_n may_v have_v some_o thought_n arise_v be_v as_o it_o be_v half_o a_o sleep_n and_o well_o this_o flit_v from_o he_o without_o move_v the_o heart_n or_o draw_v any_o lust_n after_o it_o and_o yet_o for_o this_o we_o must_v lament_v and_o bewail_v ourselves_o before_o god_o and_o know_v that_o except_o god_n stay_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n we_o have_v open_v the_o door_n to_o satan_n whereat_o enter_v in_o he_o may_v incontinent_o win_v we_o unto_o far_a wickedness_n we_o must_v therefore_o be_v sorry_a for_o this_o thing_n albeit_o god_o impute_v it_o not_o unto_o we_o for_o sin_n but_o there_o be_v now_o a_o second_o degree_n when_o not_o only_o we_o conceive_v some_o wicked_a thing_n in_o our_o mind_n move_v hereunto_o by_o some_o present_a object_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v thereby_o something_o move_v that_o we_o shall_v feel_v some_o prick_n of_o satan_n which_o stir_v we_o then_o be_v sin_n conceive_v that_o be_v to_o say_v although_o there_o be_v no_o consent_n give_v and_o albeit_o the_o will_v be_v not_o resolute_a herein_o yet_o be_v sin_n form_v before_o god_o and_o it_o be_v damnable_a in_o his_o sight_n for_o to_o have_v this_o better_a understand_v we_o must_v allege_v example_n hereof_o it_o may_v so_o happen_v that_o a_o man_n behold_v either_o the_o house_n or_o the_o land_n of_o a_o other_o conceive_v some_o fly_a fantasy_n and_o yet_o his_o heart_n be_v nothing_o move_v herewith_o he_o have_v no_o such_o desire_n breed_v in_o he_o as_o to_o say_v i_o will_v this_o be_v i_o but_o he_o pass_v from_o this_o thought_n and_o see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o vanity_n he_o can_v not_o withstand_v it_o from_o arise_v in_o he_o but_o albeit_o there_o be_v not_o here_o in_o any_o wicked_a affection_n and_o desire_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_o do_v hereby_o warn_v we_o of_o our_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n and_o we_o must_v hereupon_o humble_a and_o bewail_v ourselves_o and_o acknowledge_v that_o this_o be_v already_o a_o sin_n for_o which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o this_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a it_o shall_v not_o be_v see_v in_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n of_o angel_n shall_v hardly_o suffice_v to_o satisfy_v and_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o other_o justice_n as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o book_n of_o job_n which_o surpass_v and_o exceed_v this_o of_o the_o law_n but_o if_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n apply_v themselves_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_o without_o doubt_n it_o be_v all_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v to_o conform_v themselves_o to_o the_o rule_n which_o he_o here_o prescribe_v we_o we_o see_v then_o that_o this_o be_v a_o vice_n for_o which_o man_n ought_v to_o condemn_v themselves_o not_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v any_o occasion_n offer_v whereby_o some_o wicked_a affection_n may_v arise_v but_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v breed_v in_o they_o such_o a_o desire_n as_o to_o say_v i_o can_v wish_v this_o or_o that_o although_o a_o man_n incontinent_o repel_v such_o a_o desire_n and_o stay_v nothing_o at_o all_o upon_o it_o yet_o be_v he_o culpable_a of_o this_o covetousness_n which_o be_v here_o mention_v now_o see_v this_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v altogether_o to_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o again_o let_v we_o beware_v we_o fall_v not_o into_o a_o double_a condemnation_n when_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v covet_v something_o to_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_n but_o shall_v have_v nourish_v this_o desire_n as_o when_o a_o woman_n have_v couceive_v she_o nourish_v her_o child_n until_o she_o bring_v he_o forth_o for_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v loose_v the_o bridle_n to_o our_o wicked_a lust_n and_o desire_n so_o far_o as_o that_o our_o will_n be_v win_v in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o rest_v ourselves_o on_o wickedness_n to_o give_v our_o full_a consent_n thereunto_o behold_v how_o we_o incur_v a_o double_a condemnation_n and_o then_o must_v we_o with_o more_o and_o great_a tear_n bewail_v our_o misery_n for_o we_o see_v we_o have_v bring_v two_o condemnation_n upon_o our_o head_n except_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o goodness_n bear_v with_o we_o loe_o what_o we_o have_v here_o to_o note_v touch_v evil_a and_o wicked_a thought_n now_o withal_o we_o must_v return_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o remedy_n we_o have_v herein_o for_o we_o be_v in_o a_o desperate_a case_n as_o be_v utter_o confound_v if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o be_v

that_o of_o these_o so_o many_o wicked_a desire_n which_o be_v in_o we_o although_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n they_o be_v sin_n yet_o will_v he_o not_o impute_v any_o of_o they_o unto_o we_o for_o

mind_n upon_o this_o place_n and_o moreover_o for_o conclusion_n let_v we_o note_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o gre●t_a cause_n that_o god_n place_v here_o this_o word_n of_o mercy_n although_o it_o be_v as_o a_o reward_n of_o the_o service_n which_o be_v do_v he_o he_o may_v well_o have_v say_v i_o will_v consider_v the_o service_n of_o they_o which_o shall_v have_v honour_v and_o worship_v i_o which_o shall_v have_v love_v i_o in_o observe_v my_o law_n i_o will_v show_v they_o that_o it_o be_v no_o lose_a labour_n to_o have_v serve_v and_o honour_v i_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v god_n may_v have_v speak_v so_o but_o he_o say_v i_o will_v show_v mercy_n and_o how_o so_o seem_v it_o not_o that_o if_o we_o serve_v god_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v he_o owe_v we_o a_o recompense_n now_o he_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v bestow_v a_o benefit_n upon_o they_o which_o have_v honour_v he_o and_o observe_v his_o commandment_n and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o by_o any_o obligation_n of_o due_a debt_n or_o because_o of_o their_o merit_n and_o desert_n for_o he_o use_v herein_o mercy_n so_o this_o word_n of_o mercy_n be_v to_o beat_v down_o all_o pride_n of_o man_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o may_v not_o boast_v of_o their_o work_v as_o if_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o reward_n and_o payment_n but_o rather_o know_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o declare_v by_o this_o that_o when_o we_o serve_v he_o the_o best_a that_o we_o can_v we_o have_v always_o need_v to_o be_v bear_v withal_o of_o he_o and_o that_o he_o pardon_v we_o our_o vice_n and_o our_o infirmity_n thus_o be_v there_o two_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v in_o this_o place_n 11._o the_o one_o be_v that_o although_o we_o shall_v serve_v god_n in_o all_o purity_n if_o he_o recompense_v we_o it_o be_v not_o of_o any_o duty_n he_o owe_v unto_o we_o for_o in_o deed_n from_o whence_o come_v this_o that_o we_o have_v serve_v he_o but_o from_o his_o mere_a and_o only_a grace_n and_o what_o then_o may_v he_o owe_v we_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v all_o find_v guilty_a when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o examine_v we_o according_a to_o the_o exact_a measure_n of_o his_o justice_n so_o then_o in_o that_o god_n recompense_v we_o when_o we_o have_v serve_v he_o he_o do_v this_o for_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n and_o not_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v unto_o we_o nay_o which_o more_o be_v he_o must_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o bear_v with_o we_o even_o in_o that_o which_o we_o do_v well_o know_v we_o therefore_o that_o god_o show_v himself_o gentle_a and_o liberal_a towards_o we_o in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o to_o bear_v with_o our_o infirmity_n make_v we_o to_o taste_v his_o mercy_n where_o he_o may_v of_o right_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o rigour_n for_o let_v

be_v make_v of_o faith_n the_o article_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o out_o of_o the_o forge_n of_o man_n the_o holy_a scripture_n shall_v be_v of_o no_o more_o force_n than_o as_o if_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o utter_o bring_v to_o ruin_v loe_o how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o herein_o and_o when_o question_n be_v of_o the_o service_n of_o god_o they_o wander_v as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v after_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o lo_o my_o meaning_n be_v good_a will_v they_o say_v and_o they_o think_v god_n will_v suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v rule_v as_o a_o little_a child_n and_o that_o he_o will_v never_o come_v to_o examine_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n again_o if_o man_n speak_v of_o faith_n be_v there_o any_o talk_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n of_o god_o no_o but_o they_o attribute_v all_o to_o themselves_o when_o they_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o overthrow_v the_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v when_o any_o question_n be_v to_o be_v handle_v of_o their_o salvation_n then_o will_v they_o come_v in_o with_o their_o free_a will_n their_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n but_o we_o ought_v contrariwise_o to_o return_v to_o the_o mere_a and_o only_a grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n confess_v that_o we_o be_v in_o bondage_n and_o servitude_n of_o sin_n but_o that_o we_o be_v thence_o deliver_v by_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o here_o hence_o come_v it_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v the_o remission_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n our_o

question_n be_v of_o call_v upon_o god_o they_o will_v make_v their_o vagary_n unto_o their_o he_o saintes_n and_o she_o saint_n and_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n shall_v not_o be_v know_v such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v nor_o clothe_v with_o the_o office_n which_o have_v be_v give_v he_o of_o god_n his_o father_n but_o the_o papist_n degrade_v he_o as_o sacrilegious_a and_o

have_v give_v he_o as_o much_o may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o their_o service_n and_o religion_n we_o see_v how_o the_o sacrament_n be_v pollute_v and_o defile_v among_o they_o in_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v substitute_v this_o infernal_a and_o devilish_a abomination_n of_o the_o mass_n 24._o wherein_o they_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n

the_o papist_n make_v a_o mockery_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o that_o it_o seem_v that_o of_o set_v &_o deliberate_a purpose_n they_o will_v deface_v &_o put_v out_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o which_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v more_o he_o full_o note_v this_o word_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v god_n yea_o one_o god_n only_o and_o so_o always_o &_o as_o often_o as_o this_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v in_o place_n let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v to_o cut_v off_o all_o that_o shall_v come_v into_o our_o brain_n all_o that_o which_o man_n shall_v have_v forge_v &_o devise_v and_o which_o we_o be_v not_o teach_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o god_n will_v be_v in_o such_o sort_n consider_v of_o we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o wrap_v &_o entangle_v in_o the_o fantasy_n &_o error_n of_o idolater_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o can_v not_o have_v the_o true_a god_n except_o we_o have_v he_o alone_o that_o be_v that_o we_o join_v with_o he_o no_o companion_n for_o assoon_o as_o we_o come_v in_o with_o our_o little_a half_a god_n we_o renounce_v the_o live_a god_n and_o why_o for_o he_o will_v be_v alone_o as_o he_o pronounce_v by_o the_o prophet_n esaie_n in_o another_o place_n i_o be_o the_o everliving_a say_v the_o lord_n 8._o i_o will_v not_o give_v my_o glory_n unto_o another_o and_o again_o we_o have_v see_v before_o that_o he_o name_v himself_o a_o jealous_a god_n and_o for_o what_o other_o cause_n than_o for_o this_o to_o withdraw_v we_o from_o all_o corruption_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o corinth_n for_o assoon_o as_o we_o be_v turn_v from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v as_o if_o a_o woman_n shall_v hearken_v unto_o a_o bawd_n which_o shall_v come_v to_o whisper_v in_o her_o ear_n low_o be_v forthwith_o corrupt_v &_o so_o we_o play_v the_o wicked_a fornicator_n against_o god_n when_o we_o falsify_v the_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v promise_v he_o in_o baptism_n we_o reject_v &_o cast_v aside_o his_o law_n we_o violate_v and_o profane_v all_o religion_n when_o we_o decline_v the_o least_o that_o may_v be_v from_o his_o pure_a &_o sincere_a doctrine_n let_v we_o therefore_o bear_v in_o mind_n always_o &_o as_o often_o as_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o this_o word_n god_n that_o we_o know_v that_o god_n must_v be_v alone_o &_o therefore_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v accompany_v he_o with_o creature_n he_o cast_v we_o off_o as_o apostate_n &_o as_o people_n which_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o have_v to_o

god_o the_o title_n of_o one_o word_n but_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o whatsoever_o appertain_v unto_o he_o remain_v and_o abide_v unto_o he_o in_o his_o entire_a and_o perfect_v estate_n as_o how_o he_o mean_v not_o only_o to_o be_v call_v god_n but_o to_o be_v acknowledge_v almighty_a to_o be_v acknowledge_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n to_o be_v know_v for_o he_o which_o have_v
