diligent_o to_o be_v hear_v it_o be_v teach_v hereby_o in_o that_o john_n when_o he_o be_v now_o in_o band_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o hear_v of_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n send_v his_o disciple_n unto_o he_o command_v they_o to_o ask_v he_o whether_o it_o be_v he_o that_o shall_v come_v as_o concern_v who_o so_o many_o thing_n be_v write_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n &_o prophet_n disciple_n &_o afterward_o so_o many_o thing_n shall_v be_v speak_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v whether_o he_o be_v that_o promise_v christ_n of_o who_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n shall_v endure_v unto_o his_o come_n 18._o and_o afterward_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v hear_v for_o that_o be_v plain_o speak_v of_o before_o in_o the_o prophet_n that_o christ_n shall_v have_v no_o corporal_a kyngdom_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o prophet_n like_o unto_o moses_n and_o yet_o shall_v come_v with_o a_o other_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n than_o moses_n do_v this_o deed_n the_o jew_n well_o know_v wherefore_o when_o this_o chance_v by_o &_o by_o after_o the_o band_n of_o john_n and_o christ_n preach_v of_o eternal_a life_n and_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n it_o seem_v good_a to_o john_n to_o send_v his_o disciple_n unto_o he_o christ._n and_o he_o send_v they_o not_o only_o to_o here_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n but_o to_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n that_o this_o prophet_n be_v come_v at_o last_o who_o all_o look_v for_o according_a to_o the_o prophecy_n of_o moses_n wherefore_o such_o a_o message_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o as_o if_o john_n shall_v say_v this_o as_o for_o i_o i_o know_v that_o this_o be_v very_a christ_n but_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v it_o wherefore_o now_o go_v you_o unto_o he_o and_o learn_v of_o he_o that_o you_o may_v depart_v from_o i_o and_o from_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o become_v his_o disciple_n in_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o your_o salvation_n and_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o the_o world_n this_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o this_o message_n unto_o christ_n that_o johns_n disciple_n may_v see_v he_o before_o their_o eye_n and_o here_o and_o begin_v to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o he_o and_o so_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o be_v save_v but_o what_o do_v christ_n answer_v the_o messenger_n he_o neither_o deny_v neither_o affirm_v but_o answer_v symp_o by_o his_o work_n and_o say_v you_o see_v hear_v and_o feel_v that_o i_o be_o he_o 35._o for_o as_o esaie_n and_o other_o prophet_n show_v before_o that_o by_o christ_n the_o lame_a shall_v go_v the_o blind_a shall_v see_v etc._n etc._n that_o now_o see_v you_o with_o your_o eye_n you_o have_v need_n of_o no_o further_a declaration_n or_o answer_n if_o you_o will_v behave_v yourselves_o upright_o in_o this_o matter_n this_o answer_n of_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a and_o it_o comprise_v very_o propre_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o christ_n it_o settethe_v forth_o his_o kingdom_n and_o what_o a_o magnificent_a thing_n it_o be_v kyngdom_n that_o be_v call_v christ_n kingdom_n that_o be_v such_o a_o kingdom_n to_o the_o which_o belong_v the_o lame_a blind_a leprous_a the_o spechelesse_a the_o dead_a and_o especial_o the_o poor_a and_o miserable_a sinner_n and_o there_o be_v they_o sure_a to_o have_v succour_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v teach_v this_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v common_o proclaim_v that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n which_o wood_n help_v the_o wretched_a the_o vex_a in_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o which_o can_v not_o be_v healped_a by_o all_o the_o good_a in_o the_o world_n doctrine_n for_o there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o prophet_n that_o can_v delyver_v the_o blind_a and_o the_o

we_o to_o overthrow_v this_o kingdom_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o example_n of_o the_o mounkes_n and_o bishop_n of_o rome_n which_o while_o they_o go_v about_o to_o avoid_v such_o offence_n and_o seducinge_n as_o chance_v in_o this_o common_a life_n bring_v in_o more_o grevouse_n occasion_n to_o offend_v where_o as_o they_o change_v true_a religion_n into_o ceremony_n rite_n and_o observation_n they_o utter_o abolish_v the_o kingdom_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v now_o also_o the_o very_a practice_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o that_o he_o slaunder_v the_o professer_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o there_o be_v many_o offence_n and_o evil_a example_n amongst_o they_o for_o we_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o such_o offensive_a example_n be_v in_o many_o hypocrite_n which_o boast_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o grace_n and_o yet_o by_o their_o licentiouse_a live_n and_o manner_n by_o their_o advoutrie_n extortion_n usury_n sensual_a lust_n and_o many_o other_o vice_n declare_v that_o they_o regard_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n true_o but_o what_o remedy_n we_o be_v forth_o with_o tempt_v to_o pluck_v up_o the_o tare_n and_o to_o seek_v such_o a_o separation_n of_o the_o evil_a from_o the_o good_a that_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o corrupt_v the_o heavenly_a doctrine_n as_o touch_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a we_o will_v not_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v withdraw_v from_o do_v our_o duty_n by_o their_o importunite_v and_o outrageous_a behavioure_n for_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o resist_v and_o strive_v with_o the_o wicked_a example_n of_o their_o life_n and_o manner_n by_o do_v the_o contrary_a and_o so_o to_o preserve_v this_o doctrine_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n then_o to_o correct_v and_o pluck_v it_o up_o violent_o and_o so_o by_o that_o and_o example_n of_o the_o mounkes_n and_o novatians_n to_o flee_v from_o scylla_n and_o to_o fall_v into_o charybdis_n that_o be_v for_o avoid_v of_o the_o less_o danger_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o great_a and_o especial_o since_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v not_o utter_o avoid_v all_o offence_n because_o such_o must_v be_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o necessary_a doctrine_n of_o grace_n wherefore_o where_o as_o the_o papist_n now_o lie_v to_o our_o charge_n the_o fruit_n of_o our_o gospel_n what_o other_o thing_n mean_v they_o thereby_o than_o that_o this_o kyngdom_n shall_v be_v without_o all_o offence_n and_o evil_a example_n but_o we_o may_v just_o lay_v this_o to_o their_o charge_n again_o that_o where_o as_o they_o go_v about_o by_o the_o mounkerye_n and_o other_o tradition_n of_o they_o to_o make_v this_o kingdom_n without_o offence_n they_o be_v fall_v into_o such_o error_n and_o blindness_n thereby_o that_o they_o have_v clean_o lose_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n and_o godly_a righteousness_n and_o all_o the_o work_n of_o true_a godliness_n also_o if_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o our_o choice_n which_o of_o these_o discommodity_n we_o have_v rather_o have_v grace_n whether_o of_o they_o both_o shall_v we_o rather_o take_v uery_o all_o will_v grant_v this_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o kingdom_n can_v not_o be_v without_o offence_n yet_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o choose_v that_o offence_n where_o with_o nevertheless_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v sumwhat_o uphold_v than_o that_o whereby_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v quite_o be_v destroy_v without_o hope_n of_o recover_a &_o whereby_o the_o doctrine_n and_o true_a godliness_n shall_v utterlie_o decay_v &_o perish_v as_o it_o chance_v amongst_o the_o papist_n and_o monk_n and_o the_o doctrine_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o parable_n of_o christ_n be_v put_v forth_o to_o the_o end_n that_o above_o all_o thing_n we_o may_v have_v good_a respect_n to_o know_v the_o manner_n of_o god_n kingdom_n and_o not_o be_v offend_v with_o such_o inconvenience_n as_o chance_v always_o in_o the_o wordle_n unto_o it_o for_o whereas_o it_o offer_v free_a remission_n of_o sin_n to_o sinner_n first_o it_o come_v hereby_o to_o pass_v that_o many_o hypocrite_n come_v to_o the_o fellowship_n of_o this_o kingdom_n then_o also_o some_o man_n laboringe_v to_o remedy_v this_o discommodity_n find_v out_o a_o mean_n to_o make_v a_o civil_a separation_n that_o they_o may_v false_o boast_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v in_o the_o fellowship_n with_o they_o that_o use_v it_o well_o but_o christ_n show_v what_o great_a damage_n ensue_v thereby_o even_o that_o by_o this_o separation_n they_o pluck_v up_o the_o good_a corn_n also_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n be_v pluck_v up_o by_o man_n tradition_n which_o be_v invent_v to_o make_v this_o separation_n so_o that_o now_o the_o church_n be_v bring_v to_o such_o a_o miserable_a and_o unscapable_a case_n that_o where_o as_o before_o the_o member_n be_v in_o peril_n now_o the_o head_n be_v like_a to_o decay_v wherefore_o we_o must_v follow_v christ_n council_n which_o byd_v we_o to_o suffer_v the_o tare_n and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o precise_a in_o pluck_v they_o up_o lest_o we_o by_o our_o undiscrete_a diligence_n overthrow_v the_o governaunce_n of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o touch_v remission_n of_o sin_n now_o must_v we_o use_v this_o kingdom_n that_o many_o by_o remission_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v forgeven_v if_o there_o be_v any_o as_o there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v rather_o be_v see_v to_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n then_o to_o be_v true_a member_n thereof_o in_o deed_n what_o can_v we_o do_v therewith_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o misuse_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o extreme_a against_o they_o that_o for_o their_o sake_n we_o will_v use_v violence_n and_o force_n in_o this_o kingdom_n what_o shall_v we_o get_v thereby_o than_o that_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n before_o while_o we_o go_v about_o to_o separate_v the_o wicked_a for_o their_o abuse_v of_o god_n grace_n we_o utterlye_o subverte_v the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n wherefore_o let_v we_o leave_v this_o to_o be_v do_v of_o the_o angel_n end_n that_o they_o may_v sunder_v the_o evil_a from_o the_o good_a for_o after_o that_o shall_v the_o kyngdom_n of_o grace_n be_v no_o long_o among_o sinner_n every_o man_n then_o shall_v receive_v accord_v to_o his_o work_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o such_o peril_n than_o as_o be_v now_o where_o as_o if_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o kyngdom_n of_o

may_v seem_v to_o be_v disturb_v and_o take_v away_o and_o at_o this_o separation_n by_o the_o angel_n it_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o more_o left_a to_o be_v

be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v without_o temptation_n when_o it_o chance_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o peter_n to_o labour_v all_o the_o night_n and_o to_o take_v no_o profit_n

wherefore_o although_o i_o be_o neither_o peter_n nor_o paul_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o suffer_v myself_o to_o be_v put_v beside_o this_o gift_n but_o will_v challenge_v as_o much_o thereof_o for_o my_o

promise_n i_o be_o a_o portion_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o if_o i_o will_v not_o take_v this_o gift_n as_o my_o own_o i_o shall_v make_v god_n untrue_a alone_a but_o thou_o will_v say_v why_o
