here_o then_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n set_v down_o unto_o we_o how_o to_o praise_v god_n the_o one_o be_v because_o he_o show_v we_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n righteousness_n and_o power_n in_o the_o creation_n and_o frame_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o the_o order_n and_o dispose_n of_o the_o same_o therefore_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o honour_n and_o exalt_v he_o not_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o make_v he_o honourable_a but_o the_o scripture_n use_v this_o kind_n of_o speech_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o heaven_n above_o all_o worldly_a thing_n when_o as_o we_o will_v glorify_v our_o god_n according_a unto_o his_o worthiness_n the_o other_o be_v that_o because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o

power_n be_v in_o he_o to_o blot_v out_o all_o our_o iniquity_n at_o once_o let_v we_o bold_o run_v unto_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o it_o will_v always_o have_v this_o strength_n in_o it_o as_o to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n now_o the_o life_n wherinto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n enter_v be_v heavenly_a for_o it_o be_v such_o a_o perfect_a condition_n as_o can_v not_o be_v amend_v and_o when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o live_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o that_o he_o be_v now_o clean_o exempt_a from_o all_o our_o misery_n and_o from_o the_o condition_n that_o he_o have_v before_o take_v which_o be_v to_o become_v a_o mortal_a man_n wherefore_o jesus_n christ_n have_v discharge_v all_o this_o gear_n and_o be_v now_o rid_v of_o all_o

and_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o such_o a_o conquest_n and_o therein_o triumph_n this_o then_o be_v the_o very_a effect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o place_n now_o the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v this_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v how_o to_o apply_v it_o right_o unto_o our_o own_o use_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o

that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o

call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n

the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a

of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o

their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o

also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a

help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o

the_o first_o point_n but_o to_o the_o attain_n hereof_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v late_o say_v for_o to_o say_v true_o

the_o majesty_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n cleanse_v we_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o for_o the_o three_o point_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a

his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n righteousness_n and_o cleanness_n will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a medley_n when_o as_o we_o will_v brag_v to_o have_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o live_v wanton_o and_o wicked_o and_o be_v stain_v with_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v i_o hold_v

of_o god_n and_o humble_v we_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o treatise_n and_o say_v that_o although_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v publish_v throughout_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n yet_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v very_o hardly_o receive_v &_o entreat_v by_o the_o great_a number_n which_o thing_n the_o prophet_n have_v also_o so_o declare_v to_o the_o end_n the_o child_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v abash_v whenas_o they_o see_v the_o faithlesness_n of_o such_o as_o have_v have_v their_o ear_n beat_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o yet_o have_v care_v no_o whit_n

and_o gracious_o to_o win_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v perverse_o draw_v our_o head_n out_o of_o the_o colour_n as_o we_o say_v and_o even_o for_o the_o very_a nonce_n refuse_v to_o receive_v the_o

the_o prophet_n cry_v out_o whenas_o god_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n will_v publish_v his_o gospel_n &_o yet_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v notwithstanding_o so_o few_o

what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o see_v so_o many_o people_n reject_v loath_a &_o conceive_v so_o great_a a_o hatred_n against_o the_o gospel_n &_o have_v rather_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o which_o so_o set_v themselves_o against_o god_n then_o quieth_o come_v near_o he_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n i_o say_v forsooth_o nothing_o else_o but_o that_o we_o imagine_v we_o have_v faith_n tie_v to_o our_o gyrdel_n howbeit_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o another_o manner_n of_o thing_n for_o he_o say_v that_o although_o god_n command_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v publish_v to_o all_o both_o good_a &_o bad_a yet_o work_v he_o such_o a_o secret_a effect_n in_o his_o choose_a as_o if_o he_o make_v they_o feel_v his_o arm_n &_o power_n and_o therefore_o let_v this_o be_v our_o observation_n that_o whensoever_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v it_o will_v be_v but_o as_o a_o unprofitable_a sound_n untyll_o such_o time_n as_o our_o lord_n show_v that_o it_o be_v he_o himself_o which_o speak_v neither_o bestow_v he_o this_o benefit_n upon_o all_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o reprobate_n and_o therefore_o that_o this_o privilege_n belong_v but_o to_o a_o few_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v &_o adopt_a to_o attain_v to_o everlasting_a life_n whenas_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o a_o most_o infallible_a truth_n whereto_o they_o must_v stick_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o place_n now_o we_o must_v hereupon_o be_v fence_a &_o arm_v against_o this_o object_n which_o the_o devil_n set_v before_o our_o eye_n whenas_o we_o see_v such_o a_o mighty_a number_n of_o people_n withstand_v the_o gospel_n even_o of_o the_o great_a and_o high_a in_o call_n for_o they_o we_o think_v it_o as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v not_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o why_o so_o very_o because_o we_o depend_v too_o too_o much_o upon_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o weak_a and_o unstable_a our_o faith_n be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o overcome_v the_o world_n and_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o when_o god_n speak_v we_o must_v submit_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o and_o although_o none_o will_v accompany_v we_o herein_o but_o be_v all_o against_o we_o yet_o let_v we_o for_o all_o that_o be_v content_v to_o receive_v

and_o in_o thus_o do_v have_v show_v his_o power_n that_o be_v to_o say_v have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o lively_a feel_v thereof_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o we_o may_v very_o well_o know_v that_o

we_o must_v join_v this_o glorious_a power_n with_o that_o knowledge_n which_o we_o here_o have_v not_o as_o though_o it_o be_v do_v but_o for_o that_o present_a but_o the_o power_n thereof_o extend_v

else_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o every_o thing_n will_v make_v we_o quail_v because_o we_o be_v as_o frail_a as_o be_v possible_a contrariwise_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n be_v arm_v at_o

that_o although_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v far_o from_o we_o yet_o be_v we_o near_o he_o through_o his_o power_n and_o might_n which_o thing_n he_o show_v we_o in_o the_o

more_o to_o glorify_v and_o bless_v his_o holy_a name_n because_o we_o know_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n have_v not_o let_v he_o to_o declare_v unto_o all_o the_o world_n that_o he_o

he_o set_v down_o this_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n wherein_o he_o show_v that_o when_o god_n will_v punish_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o world_n

down_o all_o creature_n into_o the_o bottomeles_a depth_n because_o that_o when_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o in_o we_o save_o sin_n and_o

a_o few_o which_o will_v travel_v to_o seek_v for_o he_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o the_o prophet_n stand_v always_o upon_o this_o

ground_v we_o see_v then_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v down_o so_o abundant_o that_o it_o be_v to_o none_o other_o end_n but_o that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v estrange_v from_o the_o

this_o place_n we_o must_v lay_v open_a the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v say_v he_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n that_o i_o will_v pour_v my_o spirit_n upon_o all_o

that_o although_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o all_o flesh_n yet_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v not_o receive_v he_o because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a many_o be_v bereave_v thereof_o nevertheless_o god_n call_v we_o all_o but_o we_o unthankeful_o and_o wicked_o withstand_v he_o and_o this_o be_v always_o a_o true_a say_n that_o none_o come_v to_o he_o but_o such_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n draw_v by_o this_o also_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o humble_o hold_v we_o there_o we_o shall_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o abundant_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o communicate_v they_o unto_o our_o neighbour_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o all_o in_o general_a howbeit_o it_o be_v very_o far_o of_o that_o all_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o because_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v offer_v

of_o god_n wherefore_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o many_o receive_v not_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v offer_v they_o although_o they_o be_v all_o call_v here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o prophet_n than_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n in_o very_a deed_n the_o prophet_n his_o meaning_n be_v to_o use_v this_o general_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o show_v that_o god_n will_v bring_v some_o of_o all_o estate_n and_o age_n to_o know_v he_o and_o also_o because_o he_o make_v now_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v every_o where_n we_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v even_o the_o very_a first_o among_o all_o other_o nation_n who_o know_v the_o true_a god_n and_o although_o the_o beléeve_a jew_n be_v few_o in_o number_n yet_o be_v the_o holy_a gâ—st_n offer_v unto_o they_o all_o in_o like_a case_n be_v the_o gentile_n also_o instruct_v by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n thus_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v no_o wonder_n in_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n now_o the_o doctrine_n which_o at_o the_o beginning_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n come_v first_o of_o all_o to_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_n of_o ezechiel_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o river_n shall_v overflowe_v even_o unto_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n wherein_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n have_v never_o be_v spread_v abroad_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o be_v send_v unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v disperse_v their_o doctrine_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o right_o consider_v how_o god_n by_o his_o incomprehensible_a wisdom_n have_v wonderful_o wrought_v to_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v publish_v for_o although_o jesus_n christ_n have_v very_o sufficient_o instruct_v the_o apostle_n yet_o be_v they_o but_o gross_a head_a until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o after_o they_o have_v receive_v he_o see_v how_o they_o become_v of_o simple_a soul_n such_o great_a and_o learned_a clerk_n as_o that_o they_o understand_v the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n the_o want_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o prophet_n joel_n say_v that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n moreover_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v here_o in_o this_o place_n this_o say_n that_o the_o old_a man_n and_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o both_o old_a and_o young_a shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o now_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o gloze_n to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o speech_n all_o flesh_n because_o the_o very_a text_n sufficient_o show_v his_o meaning_n now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v he_o speak_v then_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o time_n in_o those_o day_n because_o god_n use_v these_o two_o kind_n of_o mean_n with_o his_o servant_n either_o in_o vision_n or_o else_o in_o dream_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 12.6_o num._n 12.6_o that_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o unto_o his_o prophet_n by_o vision_n &_o speak_v unto_o they_o in_o dream_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v with_o his_o servant_n moses_n mouth_n to_o mouth_n howbeit_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o like_a &_o that_o although_o god_n manifest_v himself_o unto_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n yet_o will_v he_o not_o show_v himself_o unto_o we_o after_o that_o sort_n to_o answer_v this_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o although_o the_o prophet_n
use_v these_o term_n yet_o do_v he_o it_o only_o to_o fit_v himself_o unto_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o be_v because_o we_o shall_v not_o say_v but_z that_o we_o have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n for_o to_o say_v true_o god_n never_o show_v himself_o so_o manifest_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o he_o have_v now_o do_v to_o we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o where_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o offering_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v but_o figure_n and_o shadow_n to_o be_v oftentimes_o use_v that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o man_n can_v not_o come_v near_o unto_o god_n but_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o a_o mediator_n we_o have_v at_o this_o present_a the_o personal_a presence_n of_o the_o mediator_n himself_o who_o once_o for_o all_o have_v fulfil_v every_o thing_n by_o his_o alone_a sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v now_o no_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o purge_n and_o sanctifi_v of_o sin_n 1.11_o mala._n 1.11_o but_o only_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n unto_o our_o god_n who_o therewith_o be_v well_o please_v through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o although_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n altar_n shall_v be_v set_v up_o throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o sacrifice_n unto_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n yet_o must_v we_o leave_v the_o figure_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o truth_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o altar_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v do_v all_o the_o world_n through_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n shall_v universal_o be_v worship_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o the_o pope_n with_o all_o his_o college_n of_o cardinal_n and_o all_o other_o his_o dear_a friend_n the_o romanistes_n will_v conclude_v upon_o this_o place_n that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v sacrifice_n have_v and_o therefore_o when_o they_o will_v have_v their_o mass_n allow_v they_o bring_v in_o this_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n howbeit_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o they_o make_v themselves_o believe_v sure_o sure_o they_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o appear_v nor_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v yet_o come_v nevertheless_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o see_v the_o prophet_n have_v thus_o say_v it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o show_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v universal_o worship_v in_o spirit_n &_o truth_n and_o not_o in_o figure_n moreover_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o say_n of_o prophecy_n be_v not_o mean_v by_o the_o prophet_n to_o tell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o in_o the_o old_a time_n it_o be_v take_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v have_v the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o teach_v and_o apply_v doctrine_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o profit_n thereby_o and_o so_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o of_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n contain_v thus_o much_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o deep_o see_v in_o heavenly_a thing_n than_o heretofore_o we_o have_v be_v for_o we_o see_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o s._n paul_n call_v it_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n 2._o â—_o cor._n 2._o under_o which_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v subject_a we_o be_v now_o therefore_o brief_o to_o conclude_v upon_o all_o thing_n that_o as_o our_o lord_n in_o send_v jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o make_v unto_o we_o a_o more_o lively_a assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n even_o so_o by_o send_v unto_o we_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o have_v make_v we_o great_a partaker_n of_o his_o grace_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v before_o the_o prophet_n joel_n soon_o after_o set_v down_o in_o this_o place_n that_o god_n will_v do_v wonderful_a thing_n in_o heaven_n above_o and_o sign_n in_o the_o earth_n below_o blood_n fire_n and_o vapour_n of_o smoke_n that_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o darkness_n and_o the_o moon_n into_o blood_n these_o word_n show_v that_o great_a and_o marvelous_a thing_n must_v come_v to_o

christ_n must_v whole_o alter_v their_o nature_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v the_o latter_a day_n moreover_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v for_o a_o day_n or_o for_o a_o month_n but_o the_o prophet_n refer_v all_o that_o be_v here_o speak_v unto_o the_o whole_a time_n from_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n until_o the_o day_n of_o

to_o consider_v that_o the_o great_a benefit_n which_o we_o can_v possible_o have_v be_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a

the_o holy_a ghost_n let_v we_o then_o conclude_v hereupon_o that_o unto_o the_o time_n that_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o be_v reprobate_a and_o the_o child_n of_o perdition_n because_o it_o be_v he_o which_o sanctifi_v and_o make_v we_o holy_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o then_o until_o such_o time_n we_o be_v as_o call_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a

before_o say_v after_o the_o example_n of_o david_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o even_o so_o likewise_o take_v he_o at_o this_o present_a the_o prayer_n which_o david_n

that_o since_o god_n his_o father_n have_v make_v he_o a_o shephearde_n for_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o be_v at_o peace_n come_v life_n come_v death_n know_v that_o all_o

be_v that_o triumph_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v which_o already_o profit_v us._n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v how_o precious_a his_o death_n be_v when_o as_o he_o go_v so_o free_o unto_o

let_v we_o account_v it_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o glory_n and_o let_v we_o also_o understande_v that_o although_o we_o be_v put_v to_o shame_v under_o his_o conduct_n yet_o

we_o see_v then_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o say_n be_v when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v his_o disciple_n brethren_n to_o wit_n he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n

of_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a truth_n because_o it_o bear_v about_o with_o it_o the_o mark_n of_o god_n be_v seal_v with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o be_v also_o a_o

until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o have_v finish_v our_o course_n here_o we_o see_v how_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n our_o faith_n shall_v overcome_v the_o world_n 2.23_o colos_n 2.23_o for_o as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v and_o as_o s._n paul_n also_o say_v if_o we_o shall_v build_v upon_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o it_o but_o so_o long_o as_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o our_o ground_n work_n let_v we_o be_v sure_a never_o to_o be_v shake_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n we_o have_v to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o because_o god_n make_v we_o at_o this_o day_n partaker_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v of_o late_o declare_v that_o be_v let_v we_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o one_o accord_n although_o i_o say_v we_o

again_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o see_v we_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n become_v more_o cruel_a and_o rebellious_a so_o that_o it_o be_v even_o sufficient_a to_o set_v all_o the_o world_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n as_o by_o experience_n at_o this_o day_n may_v be_v see_v for_o during_o the_o time_n that_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o preach_v all_o the_o world_n live_v careless_o and_o quiet_o and_o there_o be_v not_o many_o question_n nor_o disputation_n and_o how_o so_o forsooth_o because_o the_o devil_n then_o reign_v without_o gainsay_v but_o when_o our_o lord_n

which_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n so_o much_o the_o rather_o therefore_o be_v we_o to_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o make_v we_o feel_v wherefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v upon_o his_o apostle_n and_o to_o beseech_v he_o also_o to_o grant_v we_o that_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v obedient_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v to_o gather_v we_o together_o that_o where_o before_o we_o be_v sever_v we_o may_v now_o be_v conjoin_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o let_v he_o be_v our_o true_a head_n moreover_o for_o the_o attain_v thereto_o we_o be_v also_o to_o beseech_v he_o so_o to_o strengthen_v we_o as_o that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v set_v on_o fire_n where_o now_o they_o be_v key_n cold_a and_o also_o to_o perboyle_v we_o that_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n may_v be_v scoomb_v of_o and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o may_v be_v so_o renew_a as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v quite_o and_o clean_o separate_v from_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v oftentimes_o see_v how_o the_o word_n of_o god_n become_v a_o fire_n but_o it_o be_v after_o another_o sort_n even_o to_o consume_v those_o which_o speak_v against_o it_o according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n where_o he_o show_v that_o it_o fare_v even_o so_o with_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n consume_v like_o straw_n and_o stubble_n for_o their_o wickedness_n and_o rebellion_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o see_v how_o many_o at_o this_o day_n can_v plead_v not_o guilty_a because_o they_o stubborne_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n like_o foam_a wild_a beast_n or_o else_o some_o scorn_v and_o profane_a man_n who_o set_v themselves_o against_o god_n not_o geve_v any_o authority_n or_o honour_n unto_o his_o holy_a word_n in_o very_a deed_n these_o people_n shall_v never_o make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n unprofitable_a not_o yet_o without_o power_n but_o it_o will_v consume_v they_o like_o a_o hot_a consume_a fire_n to_o cender_v and_o ash_n let_v we_o therefore_o make_v this_o observation_n why_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n appear_v in_o fiery_a tongue_n sure_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n that_o the_o faithful_a may_v understande_v that_o they_o have_v great_a need_n to_o be_v so_o touch_v to_o the_o quick_a as_o that_o god_n may_v change_v and_o renew_v they_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n what_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o for_o the_o better_a apply_v of_o this_o history_n to_o our_o use_n howbeit_o over_o and_o beside_o all_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o two_o principal_a point_n of_o faith_n and_o then_o let_v we_o return_v to_o ourselves_o and_o understand_v what_o we_o will_v do_v if_o god_n wrought_v not_o therein_o first_o of_o all_o there_o be_v in_o faith_n knowledge_n and_o certainty_n and_o next_o of_o all_o be_v assuredness_n and_o constancy_n now_o when_o god_n speak_v we_o be_v even_o deaf_a at_o his_o word_n because_o our_o mind_n be_v altogether_o set_v upon_o this_o world_n and_o indeed_o we_o will_v account_v all_o the_o wisdom_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v very_a foolishness_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v enlighten_v us._n 2.14_o 1._o cor._n 2.14_o in_o the_o first_o place_n therefore_o god_n must_v open_v our_o hearre_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o truth_n &_o for_o stick_v thereto_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v both_o deaf_a blockish_a &_o without_o apprehend_v of_o this_o word_n thus_o much_o then_o for_o this_o point_n now_o for_o the_o second_o point_n it_o shall_v stand_v we_o in_o hand_n stout_o to_o withstand_v all_o the_o assault_n &_o attempt_n wherewith_o satan_n assail_v we_o and_o to_o be_v well_o arm_v &_o appoint_v for_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o be_v so_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v put_v to_o his_o help_a hand_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o help_v that_o but_o by_o the_o only_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o although_o we_o be_v a_o hundred_o time_n teach_v the_o gospel_n yet_o forsomuch_o as_o we_o be_v light_n &_o fickle_a brain_a we_o shall_v soon_o be_v pull_v from_o it_o if_o god_n do_v not_o strengthen_v we_o therein_o yea_o and_o at_o this_o day_n it_o be_v so_o full_a of_o peril_n &_o threat_n as_o that_o the_o silly_a faithful_a soul_n can_v no_o soon_o open_v their_o mouth_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n but_o that_o they_o be_v forthwith_o at_o the_o point_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n neither_o can_v they_o any_o soon_o confess_v their_o faith_n but_o that_o the_o fire_n be_v lighten_v utter_o to_o abolish_v the_o memory_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n since_o than_o
