be_v but_o mocker_n of_o god_n they_o never_o enter_v into_o their_o conscience_n to_o examine_v themselves_o earnest_o neither_o have_v they_o ever_o any_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n sure_o all_o their_o study_n have_v be_v to_o hold_v folk_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n and_o to_o put_v many_o hartgripe_n into_o they_o to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v sharpwitted_a but_o as_o for_o themselves_o they_o never_o feel_v any_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o prate_v so_o much_o at_o their_o case_n concern_v merit_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v no_o regard_n of_o they_o themselves_o only_o they_o do_v some_o small_a trifle_n like_o rittlerattle_n that_o man_n give_v to_o little_a child_n wherewith_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o can_v appease_v god_n now_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n dispute_v of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n as_o they_o be_v put_v untoo_o he_o and_o yet_o do_v he_o nevertheless_o cut_v home_o to_o the_o bottom_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n he_o proove_v that_o man_n be_v strip_v stark_o naked_a from_o all_o righteousness_n and_o can_v bring_v any_o thing_n untoo_o god_n but_o must_v beg_v at_o his_o hand_n confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o utter_a beggary_n and_o penury_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o the_o jew_n do_v always_o pervert_v the_o nature_n and_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o that_o they_o make_v meritorious_a work_n of_o they_o and_o that_o be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o use_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v put_v they_o too_o for_o god_n ordain_v not_o the_o sacrament_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o indevor_v to_o observe_v they_o man_n shall_v purchase_v any_o virtue_n that_o may_v be_v impute_v to_o they_o for_o righteousness_n but_o rather_o to_o teach_v they_o that_o it_o stand_v they_o in_o hand_n to_o seek_v all_o at_o god_n hand_n as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o jew_n be_v circumcise_v thereby_o god_n show_v to_o the_o eye_n that_o all_o that_o ever_o come_v of_o man_n be_v but_o corruption_n and_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o have_v it_o cut_v away_o so_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v too_o consider_v in_o that_o visible_a sacrament_n be_v that_o man_n nature_n be_v curse_v before_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v well_o seek_v but_o never_o find_v so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o cleanness_n in_o it_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o have_v a_o token_n and_o record_n that_o god_n nevertheless_o will_v succour_v they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o redeemer_n which_o shall_v come_v of_o the_o race_n of_o man_n for_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o lineage_n of_o david_n god_n therefore_o show_v that_o thing_n visible_o and_o so_o the_o jew_n be_v cast_v down_o in_o themselves_o and_o aught_o to_o have_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o cursednesse_n in_o they_o and_o thereupon_o shall_v have_v come_v to_o seek_v the_o thing_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n which_o want_v in_o themselves_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o their_o wash_n as_o oft_o as_o the_o jew_n wash_v themselves_o it_o be_v a_o put_n of_o they_o in_o mind_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o unclennesse_n in_o they_o and_o wherein_o be_v that_o wash_n be_v it_o in_o the_o water_n no_o but_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o the_o brute_n beast_n be_v slay_v there_o they_o behild_n that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n the_o beast_n be_v guiltless_a and_o yet_o they_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o man_n sake_n to_o bear_v their_o sin_n thus_o you_o see_v a_o mirror_n which_o show_v that_o all_o man_n be_v curse_v of_o god_n and_o yet_o in_o so_o do_v man_n humble_v themselves_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o protest_v that_o they_o be_v redeem_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n howbeit_o not_o by_o those_o shadow_a sacrifise_n but_o by_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o what_o do_v the_o jew_n when_o they_o be_v once_o circumcise_v they_o think_v that_o god_n be_v bind_v unto_o they_o for_o it_o and_o when_o they_o have_v offer_v sacrifice_n they_o think_v there_o be_v great_a holiness_n in_o so_o do_v and_o make_v their_o boast_n thereof_o but_o the_o prophet_n rebuke_v those_o hypocrite_n double_a for_o first_o they_o tell_v they_o that_o when_o they_o have_v keep_v all_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n their_o do_n be_v nothing_o 6._o all_o be_v but_o vanity_n for_o behold_v god_n say_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v and_o again_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o o_o man_n how_o thou_o shall_v please_v god_n be_v thou_o humble_v true_o &_o imagine_v not_o to_o bring_v he_o many_o sheep_n &_o ox_n 8._o for_o that_o be_v nothing_o but_o deal_v thou_o just_o and_o upright_o and_o when_o thou_o have_v worship_v he_o live_v honest_o and_o uncorrupt_o with_o thy_o neighbour_n also_o we_o see_v what_o our_o lord_n say_v in_o jeremy_n 22._o do_v i_o speak_v to_o your_o father_n say_v he_o of_o offer_v sacrifice_n unto_o i_o no_o say_v he_o but_o i_o will_v they_o to_o obey_v i_o and_o to_o harken_v to_o my_o voice_n and_o to_o serve_v i_o with_o a_o sound_a hart_n again_o in_o another_o place_n it_o be_v say_v 23._o lord_n thou_o love_v faithfulness_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o prophet_n rebuke_v the_o hypocrite_n for_o be_v hold_v back_o by_o the_o ceremony_n which_o be_v nothing_o of_o themselves_o except_o man_n walk_v in_o a_o clear_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o in_o faithfulness_n towards_o man_n and_o after_o that_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v so_o they_o add_v second_o that_o when_o man_n have_v do_v all_o that_o they_o can_v yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o be_v still_o in_o god_n debt_n 34_o and_o that_o the_o ceremony_n serve_v to_o bring_v they_o still_o near_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o make_v they_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n call_v they_o to_o he_o promise_v they_o to_o show_v they_o mercy_n and_o too_o forget_v and_o bury_v all_o their_o misdeed_n howbeit_o by_o mean_a of_o the_o redeemer_n that_o be_v promise_v they_o but_o now_o saint_n paul_n leave_v the_o first_o point_n namely_o that_o the_o ceremony_n be_v nothing_o without_o the_o principal_a which_o be_v that_o we_o walk_v without_o do_v any_o man_n wrong_v and_o without_o do_v any_o hurt_n or_o harm_n to_o other_o man_n that_o we_o live_v chaste_a and_o pure_a and_o that_o we_o have_v a_o clean_a and_o upright_o conscience_n s._n paul_n let_v that_o discourse_n alone_o and_o why_o for_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o he_o show_v that_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n be_v neither_o profitable_a nor_o needful_a because_o they_o be_v nothing_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o that_o the_o end_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v which_o be_v that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o they_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v we_o now_o final_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o behove_v they_o to_o rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o be_v well_o print_v at_o this_o day_n both_o in_o our_o hart_n and_o in_o our_o remembrance_n for_o we_o shall_v have_v profyte_v great_o if_o we_o once_o know_v how_o to_o apply_v to_o our_o use_n the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v ordain_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n special_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o have_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o next_o sunday_n for_o although_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v exhort_v this_o day_n to_o put_v ourselves_o in_o a_o readiness_n to_o it_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o touch_v this_o morning_n but_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n that_o if_o we_o think_v to_o be_v make_v ryghteous_a by_o baptim_o we_o defile_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o our_o salvation_n and_o why_o baptism_n do_v but_o teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n in_o us._n for_o wherefore_o do_v we_o wash_v our_o hand_n face_n and_o body_n but_o to_o make_v they_o clean_o from_o the_o spot_v that_o be_v in_o they_o now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o baptism_n be_v a_o wash_n of_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o baptism_n or_o when_o any_o of_o we_o bring_v his_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v we_o declare_v that_o the_o child_n be_v already_o damn_v and_o forlorn_v even_o from_o their_o mother_n womb_n and_o that_o they_o be_v a_o curse_a seed_n so_o as_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o break_v clennesse_n not_o by_o their_o own_o purchase_n but_o by_o receyve_v it_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o in_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 understand_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlorn_a as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n as_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o infinite_a number_n of_o iniquity_n wherein_o we_o be_v sape_v yea_o and_o we_o must_v full_o believe_v it_o but_o we_o shall_v never_o perceyve_v that_o our_o sin_n condemn_v we_o &_o curse_v we_o before_o god_n except_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o rightuousnesse_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n we_o shall_v not_o know_v god_n rightuousnesse_n if_o we_o shall_v single_o say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n and_o by_o grace_n for_o god_n can_v once_o renounce_v himself_o because_o he_o be_v the_o sovereign_a rightuousnesse_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o pureness_n and_o perfection_n by_o reason_n whereof_o he_o must_v needs_o hate_v evil_a now_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o be_v full_a of_o corruption_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o we_o and_o therefore_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v us._n and_o if_o he_o hate_v we_o woe_n worth_n we_o for_o then_o be_v we_o damn_v then_o stand_v it_o we_o on_o hand_n to_o be_v make_v rightuous_a before_o we_o can_v be_v in_o god_n favour_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v purge_v of_o our_o fault_n and_o misdeed_n for_o else_o as_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o conceyve_v that_o god_n intend_v too_o show_v we_o mercy_n but_o in_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o too_o be_v sinner_n we_o perceyve_v by_o and_o by_o that_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v sin_n and_o that_o although_o he_o hate_v sin_n yet_o not_o withstand_v he_o find_v mean_n to_o save_v we_o which_o be_v by_o forget_v our_o offence_n and_o by_o clenze_v and_o purge_v they_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v our_o spiritual_a wash_n god_n then_o purge_v we_o in_o that_o wize_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v receyve_v of_o he_o and_o be_v make_v parttaker_n of_o his_o love_n be_v assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o the_o scripture_n use_v the_o word_n justify_v but_o the_o papist_n descant_n upon_o it_o like_o blind_a buzzarde_n what_o say_v they_o shall_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n faith_n be_v no_o such_o virtue_n as_o make_v man_n perfect_a and_o how_o then_o shall_v it_o make_v we_o rightuous_a they_o consider_v not_o that_o this_o rightuousnesse_n whereof_o the_o scripture_n speak_v be_v god_n cover_v of_o our_o sin_n as_o i_o declare_v afore_o and_o his_o take_n of_o they_o quite_o and_o clean_o away_o for_o the_o sake_n and_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v count_v rightuous_a before_o god_n because_o he_o release_v and_o forgive_v our_o sin_n â–ª_o and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n do_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o it_o in_o the_o four_o to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o say_v that_o david_n have_v well_o declare_v in_o effect_n 1._o how_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n when_o he_o say_v bliss_v be_v the_o man_n who_o iniquity_n god_n have_v forget_v and_o who_o sin_n he_o have_v cover_v and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v 21._o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n nor_o have_v any_o spot_n in_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o be_v too_o say_v receyve_v all_o the_o condemnation_n of_o our_o fault_n too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v become_v god_n rightuousnesse_n in_o he_o that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o the_o end_n that_o be_v greff_v into_o his_o person_n and_o make_v one_o body_n with_o he_o we_o may_v be_v take_v for_o rightuous_a because_o there_o be_v such_o perfectness_n in_o his_o obedience_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v bury_v and_o rid_v quite_o and_o clean_o away_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o word_n justify_v â–ª_o now_o as_o touch_v the_o word_n fayth_n or_a belief_n s._n paul_n add_v for_o a_o declation_n that_o they_o have_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ._n if_o a_o man_n ask_v a_o unlearned_a person_n what_o faith_n be_v he_o will_v perchance_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v too_o believe_v but_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a too_o tell_v what_o be_v mean_v or_o import_v by_o any_o of_o they_o both_o will_v we_o then_o have_v the_o understanding_n of_o they_o according_a too_o the_o raw_a capacity_n of_o the_o unskilfull_a sort_n we_o must_v always_o mark_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v set_v too_o be_v the_o butt_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o belief_n do_v we_o obtain_v salvation_n by_o faith_n it_o be_v asmuch_o too_o say_v as_o we_o believe_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o let_v we_o now_o consider_v why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n for_o our_o faith_n too_o am_z at_o and_o too_o rest_n whole_o upon_o it_o be_v because_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o he_o what_o soever_o belong_v too_o the_o make_n of_o we_o rightuous_a i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o be_v take_v for_o rightuous_a before_o god_n when_o he_o forgive_v our_o sin_n and_o call_v they_o not_o too_o account_v any_o more_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o obtain_v that_o but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v shed_v to_o wash_v we_o withal_o for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o have_v make_v full_a amends_n for_o we_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n therefore_o god_n be_v appeaze_v towards_o we_o condicional_o that_o we_o seek_v not_o to_o pay_v he_o with_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o with_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o he_o by_o his_o only_a son_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v call_v god_n well_o belove_a son_n 17._o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v belove_v in_o he_o and_o the_o rightuous_a to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v parttaker_n of_o his_o rightuousnesse_n 11._o and_o the_o holy_a too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v holy_a in_o he_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v why_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 35._o when_o we_o intend_v too_o know_v what_o the_o word_n faith_n import_v but_o the_o papist_n stand_v wilful_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n because_o they_o never_o taste_v what_o it_o be_v to_o believe_v and_o that_o do_v they_o show_v well_o enough_o by_o their_o allegation_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a say_v they_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o believe_v sing_v that_o the_o very_a devil_n do_v believe_v 20._o it_o be_v true_a and_o s._n james_n use_v the_o same_o reason_n how_o beit_n in_o that_o place_n he_o mock_v at_o such_o as_o pretend_v a_o vain_a and_o fond_a cloak_n of_o christianity_n and_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n show_v no_o fruit_n at_o all_o of_o it_o but_o the_o papist_n beguile_v themselves_o yet_o much_o more_o gross_o in_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v too_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o that_o god_n be_v the_o mark_n that_o faith_n am_v at_o so_o as_o it_o seem_v too_o they_o that_o too_o make_v up_o belief_n there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o to_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v some_o one_o certain_a god_n that_o make_v the_o world_n and_o which_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o so_o they_o fall_v fast_a a_o sleep_n in_o their_o ignorance_n and_o yet_o cease_v not_o too_o take_v themselves_o for_o good_a christian_n and_o catholic_n as_o they_o themselves_o babble_n although_o they_o be_v altogether_o dull_v in_o deed_n but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o they_o fight_v so_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o with_o such_o unamendable_a wilfulness_n deny_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v save_v by_o faith_n sing_v they_o have_v neither_o discretion_n nor_o understanding_n for_o they_o wot_v not_o what_o the_o matter_n meen_v so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o upon_o too_o mark_v well_o what_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o if_o

he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o by_o his_o word_n and_o also_o give_v we_o a_o good_a pledge_n and_o earnest_a penny_n of_o it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n insomuch_o that_o there_o he_o

that_o such_o as_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o abraham_n be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o we_o must_v be_v fashion_v after_o his_o example_n or_o else_o the_o gate_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v shette_v against_o we_o and_o we_o be_v quite_o

shall_v we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v miserable_a but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o in_o the_o second_o
let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o mercy_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o seek_v it_o in_o his_o name_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o any_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o

the_o redemption_n that_o be_v purchace_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o then_o although_o the_o say_a promise_n belong_v too_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n peculiar_a too_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o after_o they_o make_v common_a too_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o why_o for_o it_o consist_v in_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o ceremony_n by_o this_o word_n spirit_n saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o deface_v all_o the_o false_a opinion_n of_o those_o deceyver_n which_o mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n toogither_o he_o show_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n namely_o the_o

because_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v abolish_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o promise_n be_v at_o this_o day_n call_v spiritual_a be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o

s._n paul_n mean_v too_o say_v in_o this_o text_n and_o hereupon_o he_o use_v another_o reason_n too_o show_v that_o we_o have_v our_o salvation_n perfect_o revel_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o need_v not_o any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o that_o and_o also_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n for_o the_o law_n say_v he_o be_v give_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n after_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n now_o when_o any_o covenant_n be_v make_v though_o it_o be_v but_o between_o man_n yet_o ought_v it_o too_o be_v keep_v if_o it_o be_v once_o thorough_o agree_v upon_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o give_v too_o disanuall_a the_o covenant_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o abraham_n chief_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o his_o lineage_n and_o final_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v this_o argument_n of_o saint_n paul_n may_v seem_v very_o weak_a for_o we_o know_v that_o second_o covenante_n do_v always_o repeal_v former_a covenante_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o man_n have_v make_v any_o bargain_n yet_o they_o may_v advyze_v themselves_o better_a and_o thereupon_o change_v their_o mind_n and_o so_o the_o first_o bargain_n shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o law_n and_o statute_n for_o a_o former_a law_n may_v well_o be_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v by_o a_o second_o law_n but_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o promise_v yea_o and_o solemn_o bind_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o go_v back_o again_o but_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n howbeit_o if_o both_o the_o party_n agree_v too_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v consent_v on_o and_o be_v both_o of_o one_o mind_n then_o may_v it_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v no_o fit_a similitude_n too_o take_v man_n that_o be_v fickleminded_a and_o changeable_a through_o lightness_n or_o by_o better_a advice_n but_o s._n paul_n presuppose_v a_o covenant_n too_o be_v make_v by_o a_o man_n that_o will_v stand_v to_o it_o and_o not_o fall_v too_o scan_v afterward_o how_o to_o shift_v it_o off_o by_o any_o mean_n at_o all_o for_o if_o any_o of_o the_o party_n shall_v do_v against_o the_o former_a covenant_n it_o be_v a_o falsehood_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o among_o man_n because_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v enregister_v so_o solemn_o aught_o to_o be_v stand_v too_o and_o perform_v without_o any_o gaynsay_n now_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v less_o steadfastness_n in_o god_n than_o in_o man_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n the_o gospel_n therefore_o must_v continue_v unimpeach_v notwithstanding_o that_o the_o law_n come_v in_o after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n this_o will_v be_v still_o dark_a if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v in_o order_n i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o what_o comparison_n s._n paul_n make_v between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v salvation_n in_o his_o law_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n that_o man_n serve_v he_o and_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v we_o shut_v out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o law_n not_o that_o god_n be_v not_o faithful_a on_o his_o side_n but_o because_o we_o keep_v not_o touch_v with_o he_o in_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o sell_v you_o this_o thing_n so_o you_o bring_v i_o money_n now_o if_o a_o man_n bring_v neither_o money_n nor_o money_n worth_a he_o can_v not_o be_v put_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v for_o the_o condition_n be_v that_o he_o must_v first_o pay_v for_o it_o so_o then_o god_n promise_v we_o the_o heritage_n of_o salvation_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v serve_v he_o but_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o because_o it_o be_v but_o upon_o condition_n that_o we_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fraught_v with_o all_o iniquity_n and_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o uncleanness_n and_o filth_n in_o somuche_o that_o we_o be_v just_o odious_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v in_o the_o law_n howbeit_o god_n receyve_v we_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o he_o offer_v we_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o will_v have_v we_o so_o too_o embrace_v his_o offer_a goodness_n as_o we_o shall_v hold_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o utter_o renounce_v ourselves_o but_o now_o say_v saint_n paul_n let_v we_o see_v whither_o go_v before_o other_o in_o antiquity_n the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n or_o the_o law_n we_o know_v the_o diversity_n that_o be_v betwixt_o they_o then_o if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o auncient_a it_o may_v seem_v that_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v stick_v too_o because_o god_n do_v never_o unsay_v his_o word_n neither_o be_v variable_a but_o if_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v the_o elder_a and_o be_v make_v before_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o god_n repent_v he_o not_o ne_o call_v back_o his_o promise_n at_o that_o time_n ne_o mean_v to_o disannul_v the_o say_a covenant_n for_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o diminish_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o have_v first_o bind_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o promise_v man_n salvation_n without_o their_o desert_n and_o afterward_o intend_v to_o restrain_v it_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v to_o enrich_v himself_o with_o our_o good_a work_n it_o be_v a_o auk_fw-mi thing_n too_o talk_v after_o that_o fashion_n for_o saint_n paul_n show_v
that_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v give_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o in_o to_o diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o fullness_n nature_n and_o force_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n when_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n nevertheless_o it_o suffice_v that_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n that_o by_o his_o mean_n man_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n now_o if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v more_o than_o need_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v some_o change_n and_o variableness_n in_o god_n purpose_n see_v the_o law_n come_v in_o saint_n paul_n discuss_v the_o same_o in_o place_n convenient_a and_o we_o must_v not_o huddle_n up_o thing_n together_o for_o all_o can_v be_v utter_v at_o once_o neither_o in_o a_o hour_n nor_o in_o a_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o at_o this_o time_n too_o have_v this_o point_n make_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o intoo_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n be_v before_o the_o law_n and_o also_o that_o the_o same_o promis_fw-fr have_v not_o any_o respect_n to_o our_o deserve_n nor_o too_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o person_n but_o too_o god_n mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o without_o look_v for_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o because_o he_o see_v welynough_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a misery_n and_o finallye_o that_o the_o say_a promise_n be_v ground_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryste_n who_o have_v already_o do_v the_o suffice_v of_o a_o mediator_n to_o make_v we_o way_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n this_o be_v grant_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o promise_n have_v abide_v and_o shall_v abide_v for_o ever_o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o be_v say_v express_o because_o the_o jew_n glory_v of_o their_o auncetrie_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o their_o father_n abraham_n have_v not_o the_o law_n but_o be_v content_v though_o he_o use_v sacrifise_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o although_o he_o be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o end_n yet_o when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n there_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o they_o any_o law_n write_v no_o nor_o any_o circumcision_n at_o all_o for_o abraham_n be_v uncircumcised_a when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v iustify_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v and_o all_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n saint_n paul_n therefore_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v great_o oversee_v too_o shoal_n out_o themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a wo●ld_n and_o to_o rest_v continual_o upon_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n see_v that_o abraham_n their_o father_n and_o the_o chief_a patriarch_n of_o the_o church_n be_v iustify_v the_o sefsame_a way_n that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o this_o day_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o god_n mere_a mercy_n because_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o accurse_v and_o damn_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o blissednesse_n to_o be_v hope_v for_o other_o than_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v he_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o here_o too_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o abraham_n that_o all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bliss_v in_o his_o seed_n 3._o now_o there_o be_v here_o two_o principal_a point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n be_v promise_v not_o only_o to_o abraham_n fleshly_a offspring_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o but_o also_o to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o general_n we_o therefore_o be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v issue_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o be_v heathenfolke_n and_o banish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n although_o then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o of_o that_o holy_a lineage_n which_o god_n have_v choose_v at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v salvation_n to_o be_v extend_v unto_o us._n and_o why_o so_o ▪_o for_o it_o have_v hin_a promise_v before_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bliss_v see_v it_o be_v so_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o bounteousness_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o say_a lineage_n of_o abraham_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v already_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o time_n convenient_a you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a promise_n unto_o abraham_n be_v not_o for_o his_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fullness_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o seed_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o of_o mo_z than_o one_o but_o of_o one_o only_a seed_n which_o must_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v jesus_n christ_n here_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o saint_n paul_n buzy_v his_o head_n about_o a_o needless_a matter_n for_o the_o word_n seed_n import_v a_o lineage_n or_o offspring_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o some_o one_o man_n or_o ten_o or_o forty_o but_o a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n that_o it_o be_v just_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v twelve_o nation_n for_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o people_n it_o will_v be_v think_v enough_o to_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o they_o together_o and_o there_o be_v many_o mo_z in_o the_o only_a tribe_n of_o juda_n so_o than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o sufficient_o consider_v what_o god_n mean_v by_o the_o word_n seed_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o only_a man_n but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v here_o as_o full_o certain_a and_o resolute_a and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceyve_v his_o argument_n to_o be_v utter_o infallible_a abraham_n have_v not_o one_o son_n alone_o but_o after_o ishmael_n he_o have_v isaac_n also_o and_o what_o become_v of_o his_o elder_a son_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o house_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v within_o a_o while_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v behold_v then_o ishmael_n which_o have_v the_o birthright_n in_o abraham_n house_n be_v nevertheless_o put_v out_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a stranger_n 10._o yea_o and_o as_o a_o rot_a member_n in_o somuch_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o 1._o cast_v out_o the_o son_n of_o the_o handseruante_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o inherit_v in_o my_o

preferment_fw-mi be_v likewise_o cast_v off_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o count_v for_o the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n nor_o yet_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_a blessing_n there_o be_v no_o mo_z leave_v but_o jacob_n yea_o and_o although_o the_o father_n bliss_v his_o son_n jacob_n through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n 37_o yet_o he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o revoke_v or_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o all_o those_o that_o come_v of_o his_o race_n the_o ismaelite_n or_o agarenes_n as_o they_o be_v call_v and_o such_o other_o like_a and_o moreover_o the_o edomite_n also_o shall_v be_v of_o his_o household_n but_o the_o heritage_n be_v take_v quite_o and_o clean_o from_o they_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v consider_v after_o a_o peculiar_a
his_o word_n howbeit_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n 〈…〉_o so_o eager_a in_o rebuke_v other_o man_n fault_n as_o too_o forget_v to_o put_v 〈…〉_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o use_v the_o say_a

ourselves_o too_o set_v more_o by_o that_o grace_n and_o honour_n than_o by_o all_o the_o good_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o proof_n thereof_o let_v we_o show_v also_o that_o we_o have_v a_o
