will_v not_o here_o define_v whether_o in_o this_o place_n s._n peter_n speak_v of_o a_o outward_a incontinency_n or_o no_o or_o whether_o he_o do_v as_o saint_n paul_n order_n be_v call_v all_o those_o thing_n fleshly_a which_o a_o man_n yet_o live_v in_o this_o body_n and_o carnal_a life_n commit_v and_o do_v without_o faith_n but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o s._n peter_n in_o this_o place_n use_v a_o other_o manner_n of_o reason_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v that_o he_o take_v this_o word_n soul_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o saint_n paul_n do_v who_o take_v it_o for_o spirit_n but_o that_o he_o somewhat_o more_o deep_o as_o i_o suppose_v consider_v the_o propriety_n of_o the_o greek_a howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o great_o material_a whether_o a_o man_n understande_v this_o place_n as_o mean_v of_o all_o carnal_a affection_n or_o else_o only_o of_o a_o external_a and_o outward_a intemperaunce_n this_o profitable_a lesson_n notwithstanding_o be_v hereby_o teach_v we_o that_o no_o man_n in_o this_o life_n can_v be_v perfect_o holy_a and_o thorough_o pure_a from_o sin_n this_o place_n the_o school_n man_n have_v gross_o mistake_v rove_a far_a wide_a from_o the_o true_a meaning_n thereof_o for_o they_o think_v it_o to_o be_v only_o speak_v and_o mean_v of_o they_o that_o be_v sinner_n as_o though_o the_o holy_a one_o be_v clear_a without_o all_o evil_a lust_n and_o carnal_a affection_n but_o he_o that_o will_v profitable_o search_v and_o read_v the_o scripture_n must_v with_o judgement_n and_o discretion_n weigh_v and_o thorough_o sift_v the_o nature_n sense_n and_o signification_n of_o every_o word_n for_o the_o prophet_n use_v sometime_o so_o to_o speak_v of_o they_o that_o be_v holy_a as_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o pronounce_v they_o pure_a and_o altogether_o clear_a from_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n again_o sometime_o they_o so_o speak_v of_o they_o as_o that_o they_o confess_v they_o yet_o to_o have_v evil_a affection_n corrupt_a motion_n and_o to_o fight_v against_o sin_n this_o diversity_n and_o variety_n that_o in_o apparaunce_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o they_o marvellous_o gravel_v and_o offend_v these_o great_a rabbin_n and_o wonderful_o blind_v their_o sense_n from_o right_o understand_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n thus_o therefore_o stay_v thou_o thyself_o and_o for_o thy_o sure_a conceive_n of_o this_o and_o such_o like_a place_n be_v at_o this_o resolution_n thou_o ought_v to_o consider_v christian_n after_o two_o sort_n namely_o accord_v to_o their_o inward_a and_o hide_a life_n to_o wit_n faith_n and_o also_o accord_v to_o their_o outward_a and_o open_a life_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o flesh_n now_o if_o thou_o consider_v and_o respect_n a_o christian_n accord_v to_o faith_n he_o be_v all_o pure_a and_o without_o all_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n but_o after_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v not_o so_o for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n can_v abide_v no_o unclean_a thing_n to_o rest_n in_o that_o heart_n where_o it_o be_v through_o and_o faithful_o receive_v so_o that_o the_o heart_n which_o fast_a cleave_v unto_o the_o word_n can_v not_o but_o thereby_o be_v through_o purge_v and_o entire_o cleanse_v therefore_o in_o faith_n all_o thing_n be_v perfect_v accord_v to_o that_o sai_n afore_o wherein_o we_o be_v say_v to_o he_o king_n priest_n and_o the_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god._n but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o have_v faith_n be_v as_o yet_o clothe_v in_o this_o flesh_n and_o dwell_v on_o this_o earth_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o now_o and_o then_o we_o feel_v within_o ourselves_o sundry_a corrupt_a and_o earthly_a affection_n as_o impatience_n fear_v of_o death_n etc._n etc._n and_o these_o be_v the_o disease_n remain_v yet_o of_o the_o old_a man_n for_o faith_n have_v not_o yet_o here_o reach_v to_o her_o perfection_n nor_o get_v a_o full_a power_n over_o the_o flesh_n this_o may_v thou_o plain_o and_o evident_o understande_v by_o the_o parable_n luke_n x._o of_o a_o certain_a man_n who_o go_v down_o from_o jerusalem_n to_o hiericho_n fall_v among_o thief_n who_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o raiment_n and_o wound_v he_o very_o sore_o and_o depart_v leave_v he_o half_o dead_a on_o who_o in_o the_o end_n a_o certain_a samaritane_n take_v compassion_n bind_v up_o his_o wound_n pour_v in_o oil_n and_o wine_n set_v he_o on_o his_o own_o beast_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o inn_n and_o make_v provision_n for_o he_o here_o thou_o see_v that_o this_o man_n be_v care_v for_o &_o his_o cure_n provide_v for_o anon_o after_o he_o be_v wound_v and_o now_o be_v out_o of_o danger_n of_o death_n be_v leave_v sick_a in_o deed_n but_o not_o unto_o death_n howbeit_o he_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o full_o heal_v and_o cure_v his_o life_n be_v preserve_v and_o he_o leave_v

that_o believe_v have_v christ_n all_o and_o entire_a and_o be_v assure_v of_o eternal_a life_n but_o our_o perfect_v and_o consummate_v health_n we_o have_v not_o yet_o obtain_v for_o some_o relic_n of_o the_o old_a adam_n remain_v yet_o still_o within_o us._n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n serve_v that_o other_o parable_n mention_v by_o christ_n matth._n xiij_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v like_a unto_o leaven_n which_o a_o woman_n take_v and_o hide_v in_o three_o peck_v of_o meal_n till_o all_o be_v leaven_a for_o when_o the_o meal_n be_v begin_v to_o be_v knead_v the_o leaven_n be_v all_o there_o but_o it_o have_v not_o yet_o sour_v and_o pierce_v the_o whole_a lump_n of_o dowe_n the_o mixture_n be_v not_o yet_o full_o perfect_v &_o yet_o the_o meal_n be_v therein_o still_o till_o it_o be_v full_o leaven_v and_o more_o leaven_n may_v not_o be_v put_v unto_o it_o so_o also_o whatsoever_o thou_o ought_v to_o have_v thou_o haste_v it_o already_o by_o faith_n whereby_o thou_o haste_v take_v hold_v of_o the_o worde_n and_o embrace_v it_o but_o it_o have_v not_o yet_o through_o soak_v and_o pierce_v into_o thou_o and_o therefore_o it_o needs_o must_v be_v so_o long_o in_o work_v until_o thou_o be_v whole_o renew_v and_o in_o this_o sort_n ought_v thou_o to_o discern_v and_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n and_o not_o so_o to_o jumble_v and_o mangle_v the_o text_n thereof_o as_o do_v the_o papist_n therefore_o when_o in_o the_o scripture_n thou_o read_v of_o holy_a meime_n that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v perfect_v thou_o must_v thus_o understande_v it_o that_o accord_v to_o faith_n they_o be_v altogether_o pure_a and_o without_o sin_n but_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v flesh_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o be_v entire_o clean_a whereupon_o christian_n in_o their_o prayer_n desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o rid_v of_o this_o body_n or_o flesh_n that_o they_o may_v whole_o attain_v to_o a_o entire_a purity_n they_o that_o other_o wise_a teach_v neither_o have_v any_o feel_n nor_o yet_o any_o sound_n taste_n of_o the_o same_o and_o thereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o speak_v even_o as_o they_o think_v within_o themselves_o and_o as_o they_o can_v comprehend_v by_o their_o own_o reason_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v deceive_v this_o have_v be_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o many_o yea_o of_o they_o that_o have_v be_v account_v worthy_a and_o famous_a for_o their_o holiness_n and_o sanctimony_n and_o who_o have_v teach_v and_o write_v very_o much_o origene_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n hereof_o in_o his_o book_n hierome_n never_o understand_v they_o augustine_n also_o will_v have_v have_v small_a knowledge_n thereof_o if_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o buckle_v with_o the_o pelagian_n some_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o holy_a man_n they_o so_o much_o extol_v and_o dignify_v they_o as_o though_o either_o they_o have_v be_v of_o some_o high_a degree_n and_o excellency_n than_o other_o christian_n or_o else_o as_o though_o they_o have_v have_v no_o feel_n of_o this_o flesh_n or_o as_o though_o they_o have_v not_o complain_v thereof_o aswell_o and_o as_o much_o as_o we_o therefore_o say_v saint_n peter_n you_o be_v all_o clean_a and_o have_v your_o full_a righteousness_n there_o now_o remain_v nothing_o for_o you_o but_o y_o t_o you_o stout_o fight_v against_o these_o wicked_a and_o naughty_a affection_n and_o so_o also_o speak_v christ_n john_n xiij_o he_o that_o be_v wash_v need_v not_o save_v only_o to_o wash_v his_o foot_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o head_n and_o hand_n be_v clean_o and_o therefore_o albeit_o he_o say_v that_o they_o be_v all_o clean_a yet_o nevertheless_o he_o require_v they_o to_o wash_v their_o foot_n but_o what_o meaning_n have_v saint_n peter_n
lie_v naked_a to_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o be_v as_o now_o present_a unto_o his_o eye_n and_o he_o in_o one_o moment_n or_o minute_n of_o time_n overlook_v and_o surueigh_v all_o that_o be_v be_v or_o be_v a_o thousand_o year_n with_o he_o be_v but_o as_o one_o day_n as_o saint_n peter_n in_o his_o second_o epistle_n declare_v and_o therefore_o the_o first_o man_n be_v as_o present_v unto_o he_o as_o the_o man_n that_o be_v last_a bear_v for_o with_o one_o glance_n he_o behold_v at_o once_o the_o whole_a world_n let_v this_o therefore_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o place_n that_o christ_n now_o preach_v not_o any_o more_o corporal_o but_o be_v present_a in_o his_o word_n and_o thereby_o preach_v to_o the_o spirit_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o here_o we_o must_v note_v that_o saint_n peter_n use_v a_o figure_n name_v synecdoche_n which_o be_v when_o the_o whole_a be_v take_v for_o a_o part_n and_o contrariwise_o when_o the_o part_n be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a for_o he_o preach_v not_o altogether_o unto_o they_o alone_o but_o unto_o all_o that_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o and_o of_o semblable_a disposition_n to_o they_o as_o if_o a_o man_n for_o example_n sake_n shall_v now_o say_v this_o man_n preach_v among_o the_o heluetian_o who_o sometime_o be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o austria_n it_o hereuppon_o by_o and_o by_o follow_v not_o that_o he_o preach_v to_o they_o that_o sometime_o be_v vassal_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o austria_n and_o be_v now_o long_o since_o dead_a but_o it_o suffice_v to_o say_v that_o he_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n dwell_v now_o in_o that_o country_n which_o afore_o live_v in_o such_o subjection_n and_o thus_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o part_n the_o whole_a be_v many_o time_n understand_v and_o the_o whole_a again_o oftentimes_o be_v put_v to_o signify_v the_o parte_fw-la and_o after_o this_o sort_n must_v we_o by_o this_o life_n have_v respect_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o other_o life_n this_o be_v the_o best_a interpretation_n in_o my_o judgement_n that_o can_v be_v for_o this_o place_n howbeit_o if_o any_o man_n bring_v a_o better_a i_o will_v be_v glad_a as_o meet_v it_o be_v to_o allow_v of_o it_o but_o to_o be_v plain_a i_o can_v not_o at_o any_o hand_n be_v persuade_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v quicken_v in_o spirit_n that_o be_v have_v now_o take_v unto_o he_o a_o spiritual_a life_n do_v descend_v into_o helle_n and_o preach_v to_o the_o soul_n there_o special_o see_v the_o scripture_n be_v flat_a against_o any_o such_o matter_n affirm_v that_o when_o thing_n be_v bring_v to_o that_o point_n every_o one_o shall_v receive_v accordyng_o as_o he_o have_v do_v and_o believe_v again_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a in_o what_o state_n the_o dead_a remain_n to_o conclude_v the_o word_n themselves_o be_v against_o any_o such_o meaning_n for_o the_o dead_a now_o this_o be_v undoubted_o true_a that_o christ_n be_v present_a and_o preach_v in_o the_o heart_n when_o as_o the_o faithful_a minister_n or_o vocal_a preacher_n with_o fruit_n utter_v and_o instil_v the_o word_n of_o god_n into_o the_o ear_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v bold_o and_o without_o danger_n admit_v and_o embrace_v this_o interpretation_n of_o this_o place_n he_o to_o who_o god_n have_v reveil_v and_o open_v a_o better_a exposition_n i_o wish_v to_o be_v follow_v the_o very_a sum_n therefore_o of_o this_o our_o interpretation_n be_v this_o christ_n be_v now_o quicken_v in_o spirit_n that_o be_v after_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n preach_v afterward_o unto_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n who_o afore_o use_v to_o preach_v to_o their_o body_n among_o which_o soul_n there_o be_v many_o vnbelever_n in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n when_o once_o the_o long_o suffer_v of_o god_n abode_n in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n while_o the_o ark_n be_v prepare_v where_o in_o few_o that_o be_v eight_o soul_n be_v save_v in_o the_o water_n here_o again_o persi_v saint_n peter_n in_o allege_v and_o insert_v the_o scripture_n in_o which_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o draw_v we_o to_o enure_v and_o exercise_v ourselves_o and_o out_o of_o they_o he_o bring_v the_o figure_n of_o

the_o ark_n of_o noah_n whereby_o he_o brief_o and_o in_o few_o word_n and_o yet_o with_o a_o certain_a pleasure_n set_v down_o a_o sure_a lesson_n to_o confirm_v faith_n and_o that_o which_o he_o here_o set_v down_o to_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v when_o noah_n make_v the_o ark_n after_o the_o same_o sort_n stand_v the_o case_n now_o that_o as_o he_o and_o he_o even_o eight_o soul_n be_v save_v

and_o so_o baptism_n be_v receive_v in_o faith_n droun_v in_o we_o whatsoever_o be_v carnal_a and_o natural_a and_o make_v we_o spiritual_a and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v when_o we_o betake_v ourselves_o into_o the_o ark_n which_o signify_v and_o figure_v our_o lord_n christ_n or_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o gospel_n which_o christ_n preach_v or_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n
