may_v have_v set_v himself_o to_o be_v laugh_v at_o unless_o he_o have_v already_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v that_o he_o pray_v apart_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o miracle_n and_o which_o wrought_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o peter_n do_v even_o then_o direct_v his_o tongue_n and_o do_v move_v his_o heart_n by_o a_o secret_a inspiration_n and_o in_o these_o word_n peter_n show_v plain_o that_o he_o be_v only_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o miracle_n and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v by_o this_o mean_n extol_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n alone_o make_v thy_o bed_n these_o circumstance_n do_v amplify_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o miracle_n in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o recover_v strength_n to_o rise_v but_o be_v also_o able_a to_o make_v his_o own_o bed_n who_o can_v move_v no_o member_n before_o to_o the_o same_o end_n tend_v the_o continuance_n of_o the_o disease_n for_o a_o palsy_n of_o eight_o year_n continuance_n be_v not_o easy_o cure_v in_o like_a sort_n be_v he_o say_v to_o have_v lay_v in_o his_o bed_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o all_o his_o member_n be_v lame_a for_o it_o be_v a_o little_a bed_n wherein_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o rest_v at_o noon_n whereas_o aeneas_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o make_v trial_n of_o his_o member_n he_o thereby_o declare_v the_o obedience_n of_o his_o faith_n for_o although_o he_o perceive_v the_o strength_n which_o be_v give_v he_o yet_o he_o be_v most_o of_o all_o move_v with_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o word_n to_o rise_v 35_o and_o all_o those_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o miracle_n be_v publish_v abroad_o and_o be_v know_v throughout_o the_o whole_a city_n for_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v all_o it_o do_v not_o

be_v that_o whereas_o there_o be_v but_o a_o small_a number_n of_o godly_a man_n there_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o people_n become_v member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o this_o clause_n be_v

it_o be_v more_o hard_a to_o restore_v life_n to_o a_o dead_a body_n than_o to_o restore_v health_n to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a but_o luke_n do_v first_o commend_v the_o person_n of_o tabita_n on_o who_o the_o miracle_n be_v show_v and_o that_o with_o a_o double_a title_n to_o wit_n that_o she_o be_v christ_n disciple_n and_o that_o she_o approve_v her_o faith_n with_o good_a work_n and_o

wherewith_o our_o neighbour_n be_v holpen_v and_o luke_n place_v the_o chief_a kind_n in_o alm_n the_o commendation_n of_o liberality_n be_v great_a because_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v witness_v

for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sacrilegious_a partition_n if_o faith_n shall_v depend_v even_o but_o a_o very_a little_a upon_o man_n so_o those_o man_n do_v open_o mock_v god_n who_o feign_v that_o they_o have_v he_o to_o be_v their_o teacher_n when_o they_o set_v nought_o by_o the_o minister_n by_o who_o he_o speak_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n deny_v that_o they_o invent_v that_o decree_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n which_o they_o deliver_v to_o the_o gentile_n but_o that_o they_o be_v only_a minister_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o may_v with_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n make_v they_o commendable_a which_o proceed_v from_o he_o they_o do_v faithful_o deliver_v so_o when_o paul_n make_v mention_n of_o his_o gospel_n he_o do_v not_o enforce_v upon_o they_o a_o new_a gospel_n which_o be_v of_o his_o own_o invent_v but_o he_o preach_v that_o which_o be_v commit_v to_o he_o by_o christ_n and_o the_o papist_n be_v doltish_a who_o go_v about_o out_o of_o these_o word_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o church_n have_v some_o authority_n of_o her_o own_o yea_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o themselves_o for_o under_o what_o colour_n do_v they_o avouch_v that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v save_v only_o because_o it_o be_v ground_v immediate_o by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o they_o cry_v out_o with_o open_a mouth_n that_o those_o thing_n be_v the_o oracle_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o we_o prove_v to_o be_v their_o own_o invention_n therefore_o they_o do_v foolish_o urge_v this_o clause_n it_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o because_o if_o the_o apostle_n decree_v any_o thing_n apart_o from_o the_o spirit_n that_o principal_a maxim_n shall_v fall_v to_o ground_n that_o counsel_n decree_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v indict_v by_o the_o spirit_n beside_o these_o necessary_a thing_n the_o papist_n do_v froward_o triumph_v under_o colour_n of_o this_o word_n as_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o man_n to_o make_v law_n which_o may_v lay_v necessity_n upon_o the_o

the_o pope_n have_v make_v such_o law_n as_o seem_v best_a to_o he_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o mean_v to_o govern_v the_o church_n and_o that_o not_o ten_o or_o twenty_o

that_o they_o mean_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o set_v down_o a_o perpetual_a law_n whereby_o they_o may_v bind_v the_o faithful_a what_o then_o they_o use_v that_o remedy_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o

of_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n call_v the_o spirit_n of_o discretion_n but_o the_o faithful_a must_v judge_v of_o every_o doctrine_n no_o otherwise_o than_o out_o of_o and_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n have_v the_o spirit_n for_o their_o leader_n and_o guide_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v refute_v that_o sacrilegious_a quip_n of_o the_o papist_n because_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o gather_v certain_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n faith_n do_v depend_v only_o upon_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n for_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v commend_v the_o man_n of_o thessalonica_n he_o prescribe_v to_o we_o a_o rule_n in_o their_o example_n and_o in_o vain_a shall_v we_o search_v the_o scripture_n unless_o they_o have_v in_o they_o light_a

will_v come_v be_v ready_a to_o hear_v and_o my_o mind_n shall_v be_v frame_v unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o truth_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v weigh_v with_o myself_o what_o manner_n doctrine_n it_o be_v which_o he_o bring_v neither_o will_v i_o embrace_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o certain_a truth_n and_o that_o which_o i_o know_v to_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o best_a

this_o word_n brethren_n all_o these_o do_v continue_v here_o he_o show_v that_o they_o do_v diligent_o look_v for_o the_o come_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o prayer_n that_o christ_n will_v send_v his_o spirit_n as_o he_o have_v promise_v whereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o that_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n which_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n for_o the_o security_n of_o faith_n do_v much_o differ_v from_o sluggishness_n neither_o do_v god_n therefore_o assure_v we_o of_o this_o grace_n that_o our_o mind_n may_v straight_o

who_o do_v not_o only_o give_v we_o utterance_n but_o also_o govern_v our_o inward_a affection_n furthermore_o luke_n do_v express_v two_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o true_a prayer_n namely_o that_o they_o do_v persist_v and_o that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n this_o be_v a_o exercise_n of_o their_o patience_n in_o that_o christ_n do_v make_v they_o stay_v a_o while_n when_o as_o

second_o it_o seem_v that_o peter_n do_v apply_v these_o thing_n amiss_o unto_o judas_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o enemy_n of_o david_n i_o answer_v that_o david_n do_v there_o speak_v after_o

agree_v unto_o judas_n we_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o they_o do_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o agree_v with_o he_o because_o david_n do_v not_o respect_v himself_o as_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o

do_v not_o only_o deny_v that_o he_o do_v take_v any_o thing_n violent_o as_o hungry_a fellow_n do_v importunate_o wring_v out_o prey_v oftentimes_o but_o also_o he_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v clean_o

neither_o do_v he_o only_o free_o receive_v wage_n for_o the_o work_n which_o he_o do_v in_o any_o place_n of_o those_o who_o be_v there_o but_o when_o he_o be_v in_o necessity_n at_o corinthus_n he_o
