A12703	The high vvay to Heaven by the cleare light of the Gospell cleansed of a number of most dangerous stumbling stones thereinto throwen by Bellarmine and others In a treatise made vpon the 37. 38. and 39. verses of the 7. of Iohn: wherein is so handled the most sweete and comfortable doctrine of the true vnion and communication of Christ and his Church, and the contrarie is so confuted, as that not onely thereby also summarilie and briefly, and yet plainly all men may learne rightly to receiue the sacrament of Christs blessed bodie and blood, but also how to beleeue and to liue to saluation. And therefore entitled The highway to Heauen. By Thomas Sparke Doctor of Diuinitie.	Sparke, Thomas, 1548-1616.	1597 (1597)	STC 23021; ESTC S102434	161,682	384

though_o according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o place_n that_o they_o hold_v in_o that_o body_n one_o and_o the_o self_n ame_fw-fr spirit_n be_v diverse_o bestow_v upon_o they_o as_o we_o be_v

whereunto_o though_o i_o may_v answer_v that_o john_n may_v well_o say_v so_o in_o that_o then_o the_o partition_n wall_n betwixt_o jew_n and_o gentile_n shall_v be_v pull_v down_o and_o so_o the_o

those_o time_n wherein_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n and_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n their_o faith_n and_o other_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o appear_v and_o be_v find_v in_o they_o be_v very_o commendable_a yet_o in_o many_o respect_n john_n may_v prefer_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o gift_n thereof_o give_v to_o believer_n in_o the_o

of_o religion_n be_v sufficient_o reveal_v for_o those_o time_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o open_v so_o clear_o and_o lightsome_o then_o as_o now_o since_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n that_o he_o be_v ascend_v he_o promise_v to_o his_o lead_v they_o to_o all_o truth_n and_o teach_v they_o all_o thing_n john_n 14.26_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o believe_a christian_a now_o can_v speak_v by_o direction_n thereof_o more_o plain_o of_o the_o trinity_n of_o christ_n person_n and_o office_n and_o of_o many_o other_o mystery_n of_o christian_a religion_n than_o any_o of_o they_o have_v do_v or_o can_v in_o respect_n and_o regard_v whereof_o christ_n say_v of_o john_n baptist_n very_o very_o among_o they_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o a_o woman_n arise_v there_o not_o a_o great_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o that_o be_v least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v great_a than_o he_o for_o he_o preach_v christ_n and_o point_v he_o present_a and_o none_o of_o they_o see_v he_o or_o speak_v of_o he_o but_o a_o far_o off_o and_o yet_o after_o christ_n have_v go_v through_o with_o that_o which_o he_o come_v for_o and_o be_v ascend_v by_o his_o spirit_n he_o so_o enlighten_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o mean_a sound_n member_n of_o his_o church_n that_o they_o can_v say_v more_o of_o he_o than_o john_n can_v and_o in_o this_o respect_n christ_n say_v that_o many_o king_n and_o prophet_n have_v desire_v to_o see_v and_o hear_v those_o thing_n which_o his_o apostle_n and_o follower_n see_v and_o yet_o do_v not_o luke_n 10.24_o then_o who_o also_o know_v not_o that_o the_o ministry_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v then_o very_o dark_a it_o lay_v so_o much_o in_o type_n and_o figure_n in_o compasson_n that_o it_o be_v now_o christ_n be_v come_v and_o ascend_v at_o who_o those_o do_v but_o aim_n and_o point_n at_o a_o far_o off_o and_o that_o therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n paul_n may_v true_o and_o just_o say_v that_o the_o night_n be_v past_a and_o the_o day_n come_v rom._n 13.12_o and_o also_o magnify_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o far_o more_o glorious_a than_o that_o of_o the_o old_a as_o most_o notable_o he_o do_v 2._o cor._n 3.6_o &_o c_o for_o than_o they_o have_v but_o the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n to_o direct_v they_o whereas_o we_o now_o have_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o shine_a son_n and_o they_o in_o comparison_n be_v but_o of_o the_o letter_n and_o of_o death_n and_o we_o be_v of_o the_o spirit_n &_o of_o life_n as_o paul_n show_v there_o and_o therefore_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o but_o that_o the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v conformable_a in_o some_o good_a measure_n to_o the_o ministry_n whereby_o it_o work_v but_o that_o now_o since_o his_o come_n and_o glorification_n they_o shall_v be_v in_o his_o as_o river_n of_o water_n of_o life_n flow_v out_o of_o their_o belly_n whereas_o before_o they_o be_v in_o comparison_n but_o like_a unto_o the_o little_a and_o soft_a run_a water_n from_o out_o of_o the_o fountain_n of_o siloah_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o mount_n zion_n and_o somewhat_o it_o make_v the_o better_a to_o make_v we_o understande_v both_o what_o christ_n say_v and_o do_v as_o john_n here_o have_v set_v it_o down_o that_o tremelius_fw-la note_v upon_o this_o place_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o talmud_n in_o the_o tract_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n chapter_n chal._n show_v that_o the_o last_o day_n of_o that_o feast_n be_v the_o great_a because_o as_o they_o say_v their_o ancient_a doctor_n teach_v they_o that_o whereas_o the_o other_o day_n thereof_o they_o shall_v in_o joy_n only_o once_o circuit_n the_o altar_n carry_v bough_n and_o palm_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o cry_v hosannah_n that_o be_v save_v i_o pray_v this_o last_o day_n by_o tradition_n as_o they_o take_v it_o from_o haggai_n and_o zachariah_n they_o be_v so_o to_o do_v seven_o time_n cry_v both_o hosannah_n and_o hatzlicannah_n that_o be_v save_v we_o i_o pray_v thou_o and_o make_v we_o to_o prosper_v oftentimes_o with_o a_o loud_a voice_n and_o further_o he_o report_v that_o there_o it_o be_v set_v down_o as_o the_o fashion_n of_o that_o people_n receive_v by_o the_o tradition_n as_o they_o take_v it_o from_o the_o same_o prophet_n that_o that_o day_n they_o use_v with_o great_a joy_n to_o draw_v water_n out_o of_o the_o fountain_n of_o syloach_n and_o to_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o priest_n that_o they_o may_v pour_v it_o upon_o the_o altar_n with_o the_o drink_n offer_v of_o wine_n have_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o song_n cheerful_o &_o aloud_o which_o we_o read_v esay_n 12.3_o you_o shall_v draw_v water_n with_o joy_n out_o of_o the_o fountain_n of_o salvation_n which_o while_o they_o do_v they_o think_v they_o serve_v god_n high_o and_o provoke_v he_o to_o bestow_v the_o spirit_n of_o pprophecy_n upon_o they_o as_o superstitious_o they_o dream_v that_o he_o do_v upon_o jonas_n while_o he_o be_v so_o occupy_v whereupon_o as_o he_o think_v it_o may_v well_o be_v that_o jesus_n take_v occasion_n as_o that_o day_n stand_v whereas_o otherwise_o when_o he_o teach_v he_o use_v to_o sit_v and_o to_o speak_v but_o in_o a_o ordinary_a voice_n to_o cry_v unto_o they_o that_o so_o the_o better_a for_o all_o that_o noise_n and_o stir_n he_o may_v be_v hear_v of_o they_o if_o any_o man_n thirst_n let_v he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o drink_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o as_o say_v the_o scripture_n out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o water_n of_o life_n so_o to_o draw_v they_o from_o that_o superstitious_a fashion_n indeed_o to_o draw_v water_n of_o life_n out_o of_o he_o the_o fountain_n of_o live_a water_n as_o he_o be_v term_v jere._n 2.3_o all_o these_o thing_n therefore_o now_o thus_o lay_v and_o consider_v together_o i_o hope_v you_o understand_v both_o christ_n and_o john_n in_o these_o word_n of_o my_o text_n and_o perceive_v what_o other_o occasion_n soever_o he_o have_v he_o have_v herein_o a_o purpose_n to_o promise_v they_o that_o direct_o come_v unto_o he_o by_o drink_v of_o he_o to_o satisfy_v their_o thirsty_a soul_n and_o that_o leave_v run_v to_o all_o other_o rot_a cistern_n that_o can_v hold_v no_o water_n they_o shall_v find_v he_o no_o dry_a fountain_n but_o a_o fountain_n to_o fill_v they_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v run_v over_o again_o therewith_o to_o the_o water_v of_o other_o and_o
