which_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o account_n worth_a a_o rush_n great_a cause_n therefore_o there_o be_v why_o the_o scripture_n term_v christ_n a_o precious_a corner_n stone_n see_v that_o he_o

first_o whereof_o he_o have_v take_v word_n for_o word_n out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n be_v that_o precious_a fundamental_a or_o corner_n stone_n which_o place_n be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o we_o even_o last_o of_o all_o entreat_v of_o and_o accord_v to_o our_o ability_n expound_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a place_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v first_o set_v down_o as_o the_o foundation_n if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o preach_v in_o any_o place_n where_o christ_n aforetyme_o have_v not_o be_v preach_v for_o here_o and_o hence_o must_v we_o take_v our_o beginning_n that_o christ_n be_v that_o stone_n upon_o who_o faith_n ought_v to_o be_v build_v &_o to_o rest_n that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v not_o of_o any_o corporal_a or_o

it_o follow_v that_o he_o must_v needs_o he_o a_o spiritual_a stone_n for_o how_o or_o why_o shall_v i_o believe_v in_o stone_n or_o wood_n again_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o true_a god_n for_o because_o in_o the_o first_o commandment_n of_o the_o first_o table_n we_o be_v express_o forbid_v to_o believe_v in_o any_o other_o thing_n save_v in_o he_o see_v therefore_o that_o such_o a_o stone_n be_v couch_v and_o say_v in_o the_o foundation_n upon_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v it_o consequent_o follow_v that_o he_o the_o same_o be_v god_n again_o he_o can_v not_o only_o be_v god_n but_o he_o must_v also_o be_v man_n withal_o because_o he_o be_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o building_n and_o not_o only_a partaker_n but_o also_o the_o head_n thereof_o now_o where_o any_o house_n or_o building_n be_v set_v up_o or_o rear_v there_o it_o behoove_v that_o one_o stone_n be_v agreeable_a to_o a_o other_o that_o each_o one_o may_v frame_v and_o be_v couch_v and_o square_v in_o the_o same_o condition_n nature_n and_o form_n that_o the_o other_o stone_n be_v therefore_o see_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v build_v upon_o christ_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o be_v like_a unto_o we_o and_o altogether_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o other_o stone_n be_v of_o which_o be_v build_v and_o lay_v upon_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v very_o perfect_a and_o true_a

and_o in_o such_o short_a and_o brief_a sentence_n comprehend_v more_o than_o by_o any_o mortal_a man_n can_v possible_o by_o utter_v what_o building_n or_o edification_n be_v we_o have_v
