these_o be_v by_o bellarmine_n as_o may_v be_v evident_o show_v in_o another_o place_n and_o time_n but_o see_v the_o primitive_a father_n have_v make_v no_o such_o alios_fw-la conclusion_n from_o this_o place_n therefore_o out_o of_o their_o and_o the_o latter_a father_n exposition_n we_o have_v gather_v another_o kind_n of_o divinity_n from_o these_o word_n to_o which_o end_n i_o first_o lie_v down_o this_o general_a ground_n christ_n be_v our_o true_a and_o spiritual_a physician_n from_o who_o and_o the_o virtue_n of_o who_o merit_n we_o must_v receive_v all_o the_o spiritual_a physic_n that_o can_v cure_v and_o save_v our_o sinful_a soul_n particular_o as_o the_o body_n so_o the_o soul_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o three_o sort_n of_o physic_n first_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o be_v purge_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o sin_n which_o else_o will_v kill_v the_o soul_n then_o be_v purge_v it_o be_v to_o be_v restore_v to_o life_n and_o strength_n last_o be_v so_o restore_v it_o be_v requisite_a that_o it_o be_v preserve_v in_o that_o state_n unto_o the_o end_n answerable_a unto_o these_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a kind_n of_o physic_n we_o receive_v from_o christ_n viz._n purgative_a restorative_n and_o preservative_n first_o purgative_a to_o purge_v our_o soul_n from_o the_o corrupt_a humour_n and_o the_o infectious_a stain_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o powerful_a potion_n be_v confect_v of_o the_o precious_a merit_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o die_v that_o we_o may_v die_v to_o sin_n and_o our_o sin_n die_v in_o we_o and_o be_v crucify_v that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v nail_v on_o his_o cross_n and_o bury_v that_o our_o sin_n may_v so_o die_v that_o they_o may_v never_o live_v again_o in_o us._n but_o when_o a_o sick_a man_n be_v purge_v of_o all_o his_o evil_a humour_n it_o help_v not_o if_o he_o be_v not_o also_o restore_v to_o strength_n therefore_o second_o we_o receive_v also_o from_o christ_n restorative_n physic_n such_o as_o whereby_o we_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o this_o comfortable_a restorative_n balm_n distil_v from_o the_o glorious_a merit_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n who_o as_o he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n so_o he_o rise_v ult._n again_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o who_o therefore_o rise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n that_o he_o may_v merit_v grace_n for_o we_o whereby_o we_o may_v rise_v up_o from_o the_o death_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o newness_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o be_v restore_v unless_o a_o man_n be_v keep_v in_o health_n for_o that_o a_o relapse_n be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o the_o former_a sickness_n therefore_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o deadly_a relapse_n into_o which_o without_o christ_n we_o be_v sure_a to_o fall_v we_o do_v final_o receive_v from_o christ_n preservative_n physic_n by_o the_o virtue_n whereof_o we_o be_v preserve_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o these_o bless_a and_o sovereign_a antidote_n be_v confect_v of_o the_o glorious_a merit_n of_o christ_n his_o ascension_n and_o intercession_n who_o therefore_o be_v enter_v into_o heaven_n to_o appear_v now_o in_o 24._o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o we_o now_o for_o the_o word_n in_o hand_n they_o speak_v of_o the_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a preseruative_n we_o receive_v from_o christ_n his_o powerful_a intercession_n as_o though_o christ_n have_v say_v i_o confess_v peter_n thou_o be_v a_o great_a

foresay_a commodity_n we_o take_v of_o they_o but_o we_o hold_v it_o not_o so_o and_o therefore_o out_o of_o our_o humanity_n and_o conscience_n we_o will_v give_v they_o more_o namely_o such_o

because_o we_o purpose_v not_o to_o suffer_v heathen_n and_o the_o pope_n because_o we_o have_v vow_v to_o tolerate_v no_o papist_n so_o do_v the_o player_n because_o we_o resolve_v to_o suffer_v no_o
