that_o he_o may_v pacify_v the_o father_n unto_o us._n that_o he_o may_v make_v you_o stand_v holy_a the_o second_o principal_a part_n of_o our_o salvation_n namely_o newness_n of_o life_n for_o in_o these_o two_o member_n or_o piece_n chief_o consist_v the_o whole_a power_n of_o redemption_n viz._n in_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o spiritual_a regeneration_n jere._n 31.33_o that_o which_o already_o he_o say_v be_v a_o great_a matter_n that_o righteousness_n be_v purchase_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o we_o may_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n but_o now_o he_o teach_v that_o another_o thing_n come_v withal_o that_o be_v as_o notable_a name_o the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereby_o we_o be_v new_o fashion_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v a_o place_n worth_a the_o mark_v that_o free_a righteousness_n be_v not_o give_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n unless_o we_o be_v bear_v anew_o also_o by_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o obedience_n of_o righteousness_n as_o he_o teach_v 1._o cor._n 1.30_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o righteousness_n and_o sancrification_n and_o we_o obtain_v righteousness_n by_o be_v free_o accept_v but_o sanctification_n we_o obtain_v by_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n while_o we_o become_v new_a man_n and_o of_o both_o these_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o unseperable_a knot_n but_o let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o holiness_n be_v but_o begin_v in_o we_o only_o and_o that_o it_o do_v daily_a profit_n and_o go_v on_o but_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v perfect_a until_o christ_n shall_v appear_v to_o the_o build_n up_o of_o all_o thing_n for_o naughtilye_o and_o froward_o do_v the_o celestine_n and_o pelagian_o in_o time_n past_o abuse_n this_o place_n to_o exclude_v the_o grace_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n for_o they_o do_v shine_v a_o perfection_n in_o this_o world_n which_o may_v satisfy_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n so_o that_o mercy_n shall_v be_v superstuous_a and_o more_o than_o needs_o but_o paul_n do_v not_o here_o teach_v what_o be_v fulfil_v in_o this_o world_n but_o what_o the_o end_n of_o our_o vocation_n i●_n &_o what_o good_a thing_n be_v bring_v unto_o we_o by_o christ_n 23_o if_o you_o abide_v a_o exhortation_n to_o persevere_v whereby_o he_o admonish_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a whatsoever_o grace_n hitherto_o have_v be_v bestow_v upon_o they_o except_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o he_o signify_v that_o they_o be_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o their_o course_n and_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v to_o the_o mark_n or_o goal_n for_o even_o then_o the_o stability_n &_o firmness_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v in_o hazard_n among_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o subtle_a deal_n of_o the_o false_a apostle_n and_o lively_a &_o cunning_o do_v he_o paint_v forth_o unto_o they_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n when_o he_o bid_v the_o colossian_n to_o be_v ground_v and_o firm_a in_o the_o same_o for_o faith_n be_v not_o like_o suppose_v or_o think_v which_o be_v shake_v with_o diverse_a &_o sundry_a motion_n but_o it_o have_v a_o firm_a steadfastness_n and_o constancy_n which_o resist_v and_o beat_v back_o all_o the_o engine_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o popish_a divinity_n will_v never_o give_v no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o small_a taste_n of_o true_a faith_n which_o hold_v as_o a_o certain_a and_o approve_a rule_n that_o we_o must_v always_o doubt_v as_o well_o of_o the_o present_a state_n of_o grace_n as_o that_o we_o shall_v persevere_v to_o the_o end_n afterward_o also_o he_o note_v the_o relation_n which_o be_v between_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n where_o he_o say_v that_o then_o the_o colossian_n shall_v be_v firm_a in_o faith_n if_o they_o be_v not_o make_v slip_n away_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o shine_v unto_o we_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v there_o be_v hope_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v contain_v in_o christ_n therefore_o in_o this_o place_n he_o command_v to_o fly_v all_o doctrine_n which_o lead_v away_o from_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n may_v be_v occupy_v any_o where_o else_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v because_o the_o false_a apostle_n also_o be_v accustom_v proud_o to_o boast_v the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o rent_n and_o tear_n christ_n in_o piece_n and_o this_o be_v a_o cunning_a of_o satan_n often_o use_v falslye_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o trouble_v the_o conscience_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v confuse_v therefore_o by_o name_n do_v paul_n avouche_v that_o this_o gospel_n which_o the_o colossian_n have_v hear_v namely_o of_o epaphras_n be_v the_o natural_a true_a and_o undoubted_a gospel_n leave_v they_o shall_v open_v their_o care_n to_o contrary_a doctrine_n he_o add_v moreover_o a_o confirmation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v preach_v over_o all_o the_o world_n this_o be_v i_o say_v no_o vulgar_a or_o common_a confirmation_n when_o they_o hear_v that_o they_o have_v the_o whole_a universal_a church_n agee_v with_o they_o and_o that_o they_o follow_v not_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n than_o which_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o like_a manner_n reach_v and_o be_v every_o where_o receive_v ridiculous_a iwis_o be_v the_o boast_n of_o the_o papist_n in_o that_o with_o this_o argument_n or_o reason_n they_o impugn_v our_o doctrine_n because_o it_o be_v not_o allow_v and_o ratify_v every_o where_o to_o be_v preach_v and_o because_o we_o have_v few_o consent_n to_o it_o for_o if_o they_o will_v burst_v they_o shall_v never_o take_v this_o from_o we_o name_o that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n deliver_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o that_o be_v preach_v afortime_n by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o obedient_o receive_v of_o the_o whole_a company_n of_o saint_n neither_o mean_v paul_n that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v approve_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o time_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v reject_v or_o refuse_v the_o authority_n thereof_o shall_v stagger_v or_o be_v ready_a to_o fall_v but_o he_o rather_o respect_v or_o consider_v that_o commandment_n of_o christ_n mar._n 16.15_o go_v you_o preach_v you_o the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n which_o depend_v of_o so_o many_o prophecy_n of_o the_o prophet_n which_o do_v denounce_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v spread_v into_o all_o the_o world_n what_o other_o thing_n than_o mean_v paul_n by_o these_o word_n than_o that_o the_o colossian_n be_v also_o water_v with_o those_o live_a water_n which_o spring_v from_o jerusalem_n shall_v slow_a over_o all_o the_o world_n we_o also_o and_o that_o not_o in_o vain_a nor_o without_o notable_a fruit_n and_o comfort_n do_v boast_v that_o we_o have_v the_o self_n and_o same_o gospel_n which_o by_o the_o edicte_n and_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v preach_v amongst_o all_o people_n which_o be_v receive_v of_o all_o church_n in_o the_o profession_n whereof_o have_v live_v and_o die_v all_o godly_a person_n neither_o be_v the_o consent_n and_o agreement_n of_o the_o church_n which_o indeed_o be_v worthy_a so_o noble_a a_o title_n a_o vulgate_v and_o base_a help_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o so_o many_o assault_n and_o willing_o do_v we_o subscribe_v unto_o augustine_n who_o with_o this_o argument_n principal_o do_v confute_v the_o donatist_n for_o that_o they_o bring_v a_o gospel_n unhearde_v of_o and_o unknown_a unto_o all_o church_n and_o true_o it_o be_v deseruinglye_o for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a gospel_n that_o be_v bring_v in_o place_n and_o the_o same_o not_o approve_v nor_o ratify_v by_o any_o church_n it_o follow_v that_o vain_a and_o false_a be_v so_o many_o promise_n wherewith_o be_v foretell_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v carry_v into_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o which_o affirm_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o all_o people_n and_o country_n etc._n etc._n but_o what_o do_v the_o papist_n they_o bid_v the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n farewell_o and_o pass_v over_o the_o old_a church_n will_v have_v their_o defeat_n or_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o gospel_n be_v take_v for_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n what_o be_v like_o this_o therefore_o when_o we_o reason_n about_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n let_v we_o return_v unto_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o preach_n as_o paul_n here_o do_v but_o lest_o any_o take_v too_o straight_o the_o universal_a note_n all_o paul_n mean_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v here_o and_o there_o
