reject_v and_o the_o gentile_n receive_v in_o their_o place_n now_o he_o show_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v for_o god_n give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o he_o that_o be_v as_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o you_o so_o you_o must_v give_v yourselves_o to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o you_o so_o you_o must_v be_v sacrifice_v for_o he_o not_o your_o sheep_n nor_o your_o ox_n nor_o your_o goat_n but_o yourselves_o you_o must_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n this_o sacrifice_n paul_n call_v a_o live_a and_o holy_a and_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n a_o live_a sacrifice_n because_o the_o jew_n sacrifice_n be_v dead_a sacrifice_n a_o holy_a sacrifice_n because_o they_o may_v sacrifice_v beast_n and_o not_o be_v holy_a but_o they_o can_v sacrifice_v themselves_o but_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v holy_a a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n before_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n do_v not_o please_v god_n unless_o they_o do_v sacrifice_v themselves_o too_o but_o if_o they_o sacrifice_v themselves_o it_o do_v please_v god_n though_o they_o do_v not_o sacrifice_v beast_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n do_v require_v this_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o as_o the_o gentile_n for_o in_o deu._n the_o ten_o chapter_n and_o the_o sixteenth_o verse_n he_o say_v circumcise_v your_o heart_n &_o in_o the_o first_o of_o samuel_n the_o 15._o chap._n and_o 22._o ver_fw-la he_o say_v obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n which_o show_v that_o even_o then_o god_n do_v require_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o body_n more_o than_o of_o beast_n but_o although_o god_n do_v require_v this_o of_o the_o jew_n also_o that_o they_o shall_v sacrifice_v their_o bodie●_n too_o yet_o paul_n signify_v that_o god_n require_v large_a of_o the_o gentile_n 11._o because_o a_o christ_n say_v we_o have_v a_o great_a light_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o great_a benefit_n than_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o our_o thankfulness_n shall_v be_v great_a than_o they_o first_o here_o be_v a_o exhortation_n to_o sacrifice_v our_o body_n to_o god_n then_o a_o explication_n what_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v it_o be_v your_o reasonable_a service_n and_o not_o fashion_v yourselves_o to_o the_o world_n and_o the_o renew_v of_o your_o mind_n to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o which_o they_o be_v create_v then_o follow_v two_o reason_n to_o persuade_v one_o draw_v from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o other_o draw_v from_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o regeneration_n that_o you_o may_v prove_v what_o that_o good_a and_o acceptable_a and_o perfect_a will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o exhortation_n be_v to_o sacrifice_v ourselves_o too_o god_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o jew_n grudge_v to_o sacrifice_v their_o beaster_n therefore_o paul_n think_v that_o the_o gentile_n will_v grudge_v to_o sacrifice_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o mark_v how_o he_o prepare_v himself_o for_o they_o brethren_n i_o beseech_v you_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god._n 7._o this_o be_v his_o preparative_n first_o he_o call_v they_o brethren_n which_o show_v his_o affection_n to_o all_o christian_n which_o after_o christ_n be_v call_v brethren_n second_o our_o adoption_n by_o christ_n which_o make_v we_o brethren_n thirdlie_o the_o duty_n which_o we_o own_o one_o to_o a_o other_o as_o if_o we_o be_v brethren_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o use_v this_o name_n so_o light_o as_o we_o as_o you_o may_v see_v here_o for_o paul_n make_v it_o a_o preamble_n to_o persuade_v the_o roman_n to_o godliness_n so_o abraham_n make_v it_o a_o mediator_n to_o keep_v peace_n between_o lot_n and_o he_o be_v we_o not_o brethren_n say_v abraham_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v shall_v brethren_n fall_v out_o for_o trifle_n like_o infidel_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o pacify_v lot_n for_o abraham_n to_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v brethren_n 8._o when_o he_o hear_v the_o name_n of_o brethren_n straight_o his_o heart_n yield_v and_o the_o strife_n be_v end_v so_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o lawyer_n to_o end_v quarrel_n between_o christian_n to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v brethren_n and_o they_o which_o have_v spend_v all_o at_o law_n wish_v that_o they_o have_v take_v this_o lawyer_n to_o think_v with_o lot_n whether_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o brethren_n to_o strive_v like_o enemy_n with_o such_o reverence_n than_o they_o do_v use_v the_o name_n of_o brethren_n but_o now_o there_o be_v no_o reverence_n in_o name_v of_o god_n for_o many_o speak_v of_o he_o when_o they_o do_v not_o think_v of_o he_o and_o many_o never_o speak_v of_o he_o but_o when_o they_o swear_v by_o he_o when_o he_o have_v call_v they_o brethren_n than_o he_o beseech_v they_o brethren_n i_o beseech_v you_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n stile_n if_o god_n do_v humble_v himself_o for_o
man_n much_o more_o shall_v man_n humble_v himself_o for_o man_n therefore_o though_o paul_n speak_v of_o a_o matter_n wherein_o he_o may_v command_v as_o he_o say_v to_o philemon_n i_o may_v command_v thou_o yet_o as_o he_o do_v rather_o beseech_v he_o so_o he_o do_v rather_o beseech_v they_o mark_v the_o subtlety_n of_o wisdom_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o as_o the_o serpent_n do_v use_v policy_n to_o tempt_v so_o the_o preacher_n may_v use_v policy_n to_o convert_v 1._o and_o so_o paul_n win_v agrippa_n to_o believe_v by_o persuade_v he_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v 27._o it_o be_v paul_n office_n to_o teach_v the_o roman_n but_o it_o be_v paul_n policy_n to_o beseech_v the_o roman_n until_o compulsion_n need_n gentleness_n be_v better_a than_o bitterness_n lenity_n deserve_v to_o go_v first_o and_o correction_n have_v no_o place_n if_o persuasion_n will_v serve_v i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n we_o do_v not_o use_v to_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v but_o for_o our_o profit_n but_o paul_n do_v beseech_v they_o for_o their_o profit_n we_o will_v have_v other_o humble_a themselves_o to_o we_o but_o paul_n humble_v himself_o to_o his_o inferior_n to_o make_v they_o humble_v themselves_o to_o god_n here_o the_o preacher_n may_v take_v example_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gentile_n 13_o the_o love_a phrase_n be_v the_o apostle_n phrase_n and_o he_o which_o beseech_v shall_v persuade_v easy_a than_o he_o which_o thunder_v many_o have_v be_v draw_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n which_o can_v never_o be_v hale_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o iron_n god_n be_v love_n and_o his_o minister_n must_v speak_v like_o love_n or_o else_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v like_o paul_n he_o which_o fish_v for_o soul_n and_o do_v not_o take_v his_o net_n shall_v fish_v all_o day_n as_o peter_n fish_v all_o night_n and_o catch_v nothing_o although_o a_o temperate_a preacher_n be_v a_o wise_a preacher_n and_o this_o be_v our_o policy_n to_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v you_o like_o paul_n 22._o yet_o you_o shall_v not_o look_v to_o be_v entreat_v like_o the_o guest_n which_o will_v not_o come_v but_o to_o be_v compel_v like_o the_o guest_n which_o come_v to_o the_o banquet_n for_o you_o must_v be_v entreat_v to_o your_o profit_n it_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o christ_n shall_v pay_v and_o pray_v the_o servant_n pray_v but_o the_o master_n command_v yet_o paul_n have_v not_o do_v his_o preparative_n he_o be_v loath_a that_o his_o suit_n shall_v take_v the_o repulse_n and_o therefore_o he_o use_v a_o mediator_n unto_o they_o and_o beseech_v they_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v a_o love_a solicitor_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v hear_v because_o it_o hear_v again_o god_n do_v entreat_v we_o by_o the_o same_o mediator_n that_o we_o entreat_v god_n we_o entreat_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n and_o god_n intreat_v we_o for_o his_o mercy_n so_o that_o mercy_n be_v like_o a_o sign_n between_o we_o which_o call_v god_n to_o hear_v we_o and_o we_o to_o hear_v he_o what_o will_v not_o a_o good_a subject_n do_v for_o a_o merciful_a prince_n many_o sweet_a thing_n be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o the_o name_n of_o mercy_n be_v the_o sweet_a word_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n which_o make_v david_n harp_n upon_o it_o 26._o time_n in_o one_o psalm_n six_o and_o twenty_o time_n he_o repeat_v this_o in_o the_o hundred_o thirty_o and_o sixth_o psalm_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v such_o a_o cheerful_a note_n in_o his_o ear_n when_o he_o strike_v upon_o mercy_n that_o like_o a_o bird_n which_o be_v teach_v to_o record_v when_o he_o have_v sing_v it_o he_o sing_v it_o again_o and_o when_o he_o have_v sing_v it_o again_o he_o record_v it_o again_o and_o make_v it_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o song_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o like_o a_o nightingale_n which_o when_o she_o be_v in_o a_o pleasant_a vain_a quaver_n and_o caper_n and_o treble_v upon_o it_o so_o do_v david_n upon_o his_o mercy_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o but_o here_o paul_n speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n not_o by_o the_o mercy_n but_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o plurality_n of_o god_n mercy_n his_o lesser_a mercy_n in_o his_o corporal_a blessing_n and_o his_o great_a mercy_n in_o his_o spiritual_a blessing_n his_o temporal_a mercy_n in_o earth_n and_o his_o everlasting_a mercy_n in_o heaven_n his_o prevent_a mercy_n in_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o his_o follow_a mercy_n in_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n 3._o how_o many_o sin_n come_v with_o adam_n and_o how_o many_o curse_n come_v with_o sin_n so_o many_o mercy_n come_v with_o christ_n to_o answer_v they_o both_o therefore_o when_o paul_n can_v not_o number_v they_o for_o multitude_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o lay_v they_o down_o together_o in_o the_o gross_a sum_n and_o in_o a_o word_n call_v they_o mercy_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o can_v number_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o less_o i_o can_v number_v they_o the_o more_o they_o be_v thus_o much_o why_o paul_n call_v they_o brethren_n and_o why_o he_o beseech_v they_o and_o why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n to_o god_n though_o he_o do_v never_o so_o much_o for_o she_o yet_o she_o be_v like_o churlish_a naball_n which_o will_v do_v nothing_o again_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n urge_v so_o to_o give_v the_o body_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v draw_v forward_o that_o which_o he_o draw_v backward_o and_o let_v the_o conversion_n begin_v where_o sin_n have_v his_o root_n if_o you_o can_v win_v the_o flesh_n which_o be_v like_o nabal_n the_o soul_n will_v come_v like_o abigail_n and_o bring_v her_o train_n with_o she_o now_o to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v give_v our_o body_n to_o god_n the_o apostle_n say_v give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n to_o god_n 13._o as_o if_o you_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o sacrifice_n in_o which_o all_o the_o member_n be_v offer_v together_o so_o you_o must_v give_v your_o member_n to_o god_n for_o the_o body_n be_v all_o all_o be_v but_o part_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o if_o you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n 8._o you_o must_v geve_v eye_n &_o ear_n &_o tongue_n &_o hand_n and_o foot_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o heart_n say_v paul_n do_v but_o believe_v because_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v therefore_o he_o add_v the_o mouth_n do_v confess_v as_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o confess_v unto_o salvation_n as_o to_o believe_v unto_o justification_n so_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o sacrifice_v the_o tongue_n as_o the_o heart_n what_o then_o be_v the_o tongue_n enough_o nay_o say_v christ_n he_o which_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v let_v he_o hear_v 15_o be_v the_o ear_n enough_o nay_o say_v david_n lift_v up_o your_o hand_n to_o his_o sanctuary_n 2._o be_v the_o hand_n enough_o nay_o say_v solomon_n let_v thy_o eye_n

a_o word_n of_o reproach_n until_o this_o day_n and_o all_o traitor_n be_v call_v judass_n for_o his_o sake_n that_o the_o prophecy_n may_v be_v fulfil_v the_o name_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v rot_v 7._o that_o be_v they_o shall_v be_v name_v with_o loathsomeness_n and_o remember_v with_o disdain_n as_o a_o man_n pass_v by_o a_o rot_a carrion_n and_o stop_v his_o nose_n until_o he_o be_v pass_v it_o this_o be_v the_o just_a wrath_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n promise_v that_o mary_n good_a work_n shall_v be_v speak_v of_o to_o the_o world_n end_n so_o he_o have_v cause_v judas_n evil_a work_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n too_o for_o there_o be_v three_o evilles_n in_o one_o first_o his_o practice_n be_v impudent_a because_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o traitor_n before_o he_o be_v ask_v then_o it_o be_v covetous_a because_o he_o be_v content_v to_o betray_v his_o lord_n for_o 30._o penny_n and_o last_o it_o be_v crafty_a because_o he_o betray_v he_o with_o a_o kiss_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o love_n like_o this_o traitor_n do_v all_o other_o traitor_n and_o therefore_o be_v all_o call_v judass_n that_o be_v impudent_a and_o covetous_a and_o crafty_a like_o their_o master_n the_o next_o consideration_n be_v how_o judas_n his_o repentance_n come_v upon_o he_o in_o these_o word_n when_o he_o see_v that_o jesus_n be_v condemn_v etc._n etc._n peter_n hear_v three_o crow_n before_o he_o feel_v any_o remorse_n so_o judas_n see_v his_o lord_n apprepend_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o accuse_v and_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o mock_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o buffet_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o at_o last_o he_o see_v he_o condemn_v and_o then_o say_v matthew_n he_o repent_v like_o one_o which_o slay_v his_o friend_n in_o his_o rage_n and_o sorrow_v when_o it_o be_v past_a in_o the_o sixth_o of_o genesis_n god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o god_n repent_v not_o like_a man_n so_o here_o the_o wicked_a be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o the_o wicked_a repent_v not_o like_o the_o faithful_a but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o esau_n that_o he_o seek_v repentance_n so_o they_o may_v be_v rather_o say_v to_o repent_v than_o to_o repent_v in_o deed_n for_o if_o judas_n have_v repent_v like_o peter_n he_o shall_v have_v be_v forgive_v like_o peter_n but_o to_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v well_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v one_o sin_n he_o add_v another_o to_o it_o for_o when_o he_o have_v murder_v his_o master_n he_o murder_v himself_o too_o therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o he_o repent_v i_o think_v he_o repent_v so_o as_o most_o usurer_n repent_v upon_o their_o deathbed_n there_o be_v a_o shame_n of_o sin_n &_o guilt_n of_o conscience_n &_o fear_v of_o judgement_n even_o in_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o hell_n which_o the_o wicked_a feel_v even_o as_o peace_n of_o conscience_n &_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o heaven_n which_o the_o godly_a feel_v before_o they_o come_v thither_o so_o judas_n be_v displease_v with_o the_o uglines_n of_o his_o treachery_n and_o have_v a_o misshape_a sorrow_n like_o a_o bear_n whelp_n but_o without_o any_o conversion_n to_o god_n or_o hope_v of_o mercy_n or_o prayer_n for_o pardon_n or_o purpose_n to_o amend_v only_o he_o feel_v a_o shame_n and_o guilt_n and_o anguish_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o be_v rather_o a_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n than_o a_o repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o a_o preparative_n to_o hell_n which_o he_o be_v go_v unto_o for_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o despair_n of_o mercy_n be_v sin_n &_o punishment_n for_o sin_n too_o but_o true_a repentance_n be_v such_o a_o sorrow_n for_o one_o sin_n as_o breed_v a_o dislike_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o move_v to_o pray_v and_o resolve_v to_o amend_v which_o fall_v upon_o none_o but_o the_o elect_a and_o therefore_o paul_n call_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o reprobate_n 5._o a_o heart_n which_o can_v repent_v but_o if_o the_o papist_n doctrine_n of_o repentance_n be_v true_a there_o be_v nothing_o want_v in_o judas_n repentance_n for_o in_o he_o may_v be_v find_v all_o the_o part_n of_o their_o repentance_n for_o we_o see_v in_o this_o reprobate_n contrition_n of_o heart_n confession_n of_o mouth_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o work_n which_o be_v all_o the_o papist_n repentance_n for_o contrition_n it_o be_v say_v he_o repent_v for_o confession_n he_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v for_o satisfaction_n he_o restore_v his_o money_n again_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v judas_n the_o son_n of_o perdition_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n tell_v the_o lawyer_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o judas_n tell_v the_o papist_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o their_o repentance_n that_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o a_o man_n to_o god_n &_o change_v of_o mind_n when_o a_o sinner_n renounce_v himself_o for_o shame_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o yield_v to_o righteousness_n with_o as_o great_a love_n as_o ever_o he_o love_v wickedness_n if_o judas_n have_v repent_v so_o he_o will_v rather_o have_v suffer_v pain_n like_o job_n than_o by_o unlawful_a mean_n rid_v himself_o out_o of_o pain_n like_o cain_n which_o think_v to_o prevent_v god_n judgment_n against_o he_o this_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n but_o a_o sign_n of_o despair_n therefore_o let_v every_o one_o learn_v this_o that_o so_o long_o as_o god_n mercy_n be_v great_a than_o man_n iniquity_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o despair_v but_o to_o hope_v for_o why_o do_v our_o saviour_n save_o marie_n magdalen_n which_o have_v seven_o devil_n and_o spare_v the_o thief_n which_o never_o do_v good_a but_o lest_o as_o great_a sinner_n as_o they_o shall_v despair_v of_o mercy_n if_o they_o repent_v if_o thou_o can_v knock_v his_o promise_n bind_v he_o to_o open_v therefore_o say_v not_o god_n will_v not_o give_v but_o i_o do_v not_o ask_v for_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o give_v than_o we_o to_o ask_v the_o next_o consideration_n be_v how_o judas_n restore_v his_o bribe_n again_o in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n 31._o solomon_n say_v the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v fill_v with_o their_o own_o devise_n and_o in_o the_o 14._o chapter_n 14._o verse_n he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v satiat_fw-la with_o their_o own_o way_n for_o judas_n have_v sin_v so_o long_o that_o now_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o sin_n &_o will_v restore_v his_o bribe_n again_o even_o the_o same_o day_n that_o he_o take_v it_o it_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o night_n and_o in_o the_o

surprise_v judas_n at_o once_o so_o studdenlie_o as_o adam_n spy_v his_o nakedness_n and_o though_o they_o come_v after_o every_o sin_n yet_o they_o be_v never_o look_v for_o gehesi_n take_v his_o
