jesus_n now_o we_o see_v herein_o that_o he_o forget_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v and_o never_o care_v for_o himself_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v altogether_o give_v to_o save_v we_o and_o so_o answer_v for_o we_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o be_v our_o only_a pledge_n and_o in_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o very_a cur_n who_o will_v at_o this_o day_n abolish_v this_o doctrine_n have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o but_o bark_n at_o it_o like_o mastiff_n they_o know_v not_o why_o nor_o wherefore_o and_o although_o our_o popish_a hypocrite_n who_o

be_v not_o only_o condemn_v of_o pilot_n be_v a_o earthly_a judge_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v pardon_v before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o not_o only_o crucify_v that_o we_o may_v be_v

will_v receive_v we_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v plunge_v in_o these_o horror_n which_o he_o feel_v it_o be_v also_o meet_a that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o immaculate_a lamb_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o a_o wretched_a malefactor_n and_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o mirror_n &_o pattern_n of_o

the_o meaning_n of_o isaiah_n be_v when_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v see_v travel_n &_o grief_n in_o his_o soul_n howbeit_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v notwithstanding_o well_o

curse_v whenas_o he_o pray_v god_n that_o he_o will_v curse_v he_o and_o swallow_v he_o up_o into_o the_o pyt_n of_o hell_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v this_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o

for_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o peter_n weep_v bitter_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n to_o declare_v unto_o we_o the_o sorrow_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v that_o be_v to_o salvation_n and_o

of_o it_o when_o he_o weep_v by_o himself_o it_o be_v a_o good_a token_n that_o he_o be_v touch_v with_o his_o sin_n and_o offence_n because_o he_o seek_v not_o to_o have_v man_n to_o be_v witness_n

yet_o will_v god_n by_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n overcome_v it_o all_o to_o be_v short_a the_o prophet_n his_o meaning_n here_o in_o this_o place_n be_v that_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o

that_o the_o devil_n may_v very_o well_o devise_v all_o the_o mischief_n he_o can_v possible_o and_o bend_v all_o his_o force_n to_o overthrow_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o be_v as_o be_v

his_o soul_n for_o the_o word_n which_o he_o use_v import_v as_o much_o and_o therefore_o he_o mean_v to_o express_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o crucify_v after_o he_o have_v abode_n the_o gréevous_a torment_n in_o his_o body_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v go_v a_o great_a deal_n far_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v heavy_a and_o sorry_a for_o we_o and_o suffer_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v even_o subject_a thereto_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o to_o say_v true_o to_o what_o purpose_n have_v it_o be_v if_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v but_o open_o

we_o may_v also_o very_a well_o understande_v what_o care_n and_o zeal_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v over_o our_o salvation_n when_o as_o he_o force_v not_o to_o make_v his_o own_o body_n answer_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o also_o to_o bring_v himself_o into_o such_o a_o horrible_a fear_n as_o one_o that_o shall_v feel_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n who_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o as_o upon_o he_o who_o have_v deserve_v the_o curse_n which_o god_n have_v pronounce_v from_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n to_o swallow_v we_o up_o

that_o he_o have_v thereby_o sweat_v water_n and_o blood_n 22.3_o luk._n 22.3_o and_o that_o the_o angel_n come_v down_o to_o comfort_v he_o this_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v a_o wonderful_a

moreover_o we_o be_v present_o to_o gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o although_o we_o must_v die_v we_o must_v
servant_n we_o have_v before_o see_v that_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n derogatory_n from_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o although_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o all_o creature_n yet_o

also_o see_v partly_o heretofore_o 2.9_o phil._n 2.9_o for_o it_o be_v his_o meaning_n to_o become_v a_o servant_n and_o to_o humble_v himself_o under_o that_o state_n and_o condition_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n now_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n unto_o we_o but_o this_o shall_v be_v much_o more_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n perform_v in_o his_o own_o person_n all_o whatsoever_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o that_o we_o also_o

it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o our_o salvation_n must_v come_v from_o thence_o for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n this_o be_v not_o to_o

therefore_o if_o we_o can_v frame_v our_o life_n to_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o he_o require_v we_o shall_v then_o without_o doubt_n be_v justify_v by_o our_o work_v and_o jesus_n christ_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v shall_v profit_v we_o nothing_o 5.4_o collos_n 5.4_o but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o be_v drive_v to_o borrow_v our_o righteousness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o seek_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v as_o bare_a of_o it_o as_o we_o say_v as_o my_o nail_n wherefore_o let_v we_o thus_o conclude_v that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v condemn_v of_o sin_n and_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v all_o accurse_a when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o point_n now_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n the_o ancient_a philosopher_n speak_v thus_o much_o of_o virtue_n and_o this_o have_v be_v always_o a_o common_a opinion_n that_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o we_o for_o our_o good_a life_n and_o conversation_n but_o what_o be_v we_o the_o better_a for_o all_o this_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o

be_v notwithstanding_o infect_v with_o very_o gréevous_a sin_n and_o therefore_o let_v man_n presume_v as_o much_o as_o they_o lust_n and_o think_v how_o they_o will_v to_o live_v virtuous_o yet_o when_o they_o have_v do_v all_o they_o can_v and_o set_v down_o many_o law_n and_o rule_n for_o their_o government_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o that_o

knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v call_v and_o we_o all_o be_v bring_v together_o to_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n &_o so_o receive_v he_o but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o place_n we_o must_v lay_v open_a the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v say_v he_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n that_o i_o will_v pour_v my_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flâ—she_n and_o your_o son_n and_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v and_o your_o young_a man_n shall_v see_v vision_n and_o your_o old_a man_n shall_v dream_v dream_n herein_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o although_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o all_o flesh_n yet_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v not_o receive_v he_o because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a many_o be_v bereave_v thereof_o nevertheless_o god_n call_v we_o all_o but_o we_o unthankeful_o and_o wicked_o withstand_v he_o and_o this_o be_v always_o a_o true_a say_n that_o none_o come_v to_o he_o but_o such_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n draw_v by_o this_o also_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o humble_o hold_v we_o there_o we_o shall_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o abundant_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o communicate_v they_o unto_o our_o neighbour_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o all_o in_o general_a howbeit_o it_o be_v very_o far_o of_o that_o all_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o because_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v offer_v us._n and_o how_o so_o forsooth_o by_o reason_n we_o make_v ourselves_o not_o worthy_a thereof_o always_o desire_v rather_o to_o give_v ourselves_o unto_o our_o vanity_n then_o unto_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n wherefore_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o many_o receive_v not_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v offer_v they_o although_o they_o be_v all_o call_v here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o prophet_n than_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n in_o very_a deed_n the_o prophet_n his_o meaning_n be_v to_o use_v this_o general_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o show_v that_o god_n will_v bring_v some_o of_o all_o estate_n and_o age_n to_o know_v he_o and_o also_o because_o he_o make_v now_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v every_o where_n we_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v even_o the_o very_a first_o among_o all_o other_o nation_n who_o know_v the_o true_a god_n and_o although_o the_o beléeve_a jew_n be_v few_o in_o number_n yet_o be_v the_o holy_a gâ—st_n offer_v unto_o they_o all_o in_o like_a case_n be_v the_o gentile_n also_o instruct_v by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n thus_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v no_o wonder_n in_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n now_o the_o doctrine_n which_o at_o the_o beginning_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n come_v first_o of_o all_o to_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_n of_o ezechiel_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o river_n shall_v overflowe_v even_o unto_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n wherein_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n have_v never_o be_v spread_v abroad_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o be_v send_v unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v disperse_v their_o doctrine_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o right_o consider_v how_o god_n by_o his_o incomprehensible_a wisdom_n have_v wonderful_o wrought_v to_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v publish_v for_o although_o jesus_n christ_n have_v very_o sufficient_o instruct_v the_o apostle_n yet_o be_v they_o but_o gross_a head_a until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o after_o they_o have_v receive_v he_o see_v how_o they_o become_v of_o simple_a soul_n such_o great_a and_o learned_a clerk_n as_o that_o they_o understand_v the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n the_o want_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o prophet_n joel_n say_v that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n moreover_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v here_o in_o this_o place_n this_o say_n that_o the_o old_a man_n and_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o both_o old_a and_o young_a shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o now_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o gloze_n to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o speech_n all_o flesh_n because_o the_o very_a text_n sufficient_o show_v his_o meaning_n now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v he_o speak_v then_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o time_n in_o those_o day_n because_o god_n use_v these_o two_o kind_n of_o mean_n with_o his_o servant_n either_o in_o vision_n or_o else_o in_o dream_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 12.6_o num._n 12.6_o that_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o unto_o his_o prophet_n by_o vision_n &_o speak_v unto_o they_o in_o dream_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v with_o his_o servant_n moses_n mouth_n to_o mouth_n howbeit_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o like_a &_o that_o although_o god_n manifest_v himself_o unto_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n yet_o will_v he_o not_o show_v himself_o unto_o we_o after_o that_o sort_n to_o answer_v this_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o although_o the_o prophet_n
