shall_v recover_v their_o salvation_n according_a as_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v bless_v of_o god_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o therefore_o circumcision_n serve_v too_o humble_a the_o jew_n and_o too_o make_v they_o mislike_v of_o themselves_o and_o to_o be_v ashamed_a when_o they_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o cursednesse_n in_o their_o nature_n that_o say_v i_o be_v the_o true_a and_o lawful_a use_n of_o circumcision_n now_o what_o do_v they_o against_o who_o s._n paul_n speak_v they_o know_v that_o circumcizion_n be_v no_o long_o in_o use_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o baptism_n suffice_v ever_o since_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o because_o the_o jew_n call_v all_o they_o apostate_n or_o backslider_n which_o be_v not_o circumcise_v therefore_o these_o rascal_n will_v needs_o hold_v still_o the_o sign_n without_o the_o truth_n or_a substance_n we_o see_v then_o that_o they_o be_v very_a falsary_n and_o wrest_v the_o doctrine_n clean_o contrary_a too_o god_n meening_a when_o he_o ordain_v that_o spiritual_a sacrament_n because_o their_o desire_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o please_v the_o world_n as_o much_o be_v do_v at_o this_o day_n and_o they_o that_o labour_v to_o overthrow_v god_n truth_n be_v much_o worse_a than_o saint_n paul_n adversary_n for_o they_o have_v yet_o some_o cloak_n of_o honesty_n maintain_v circumcizion_n and_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n because_o they_o be_v all_o ordain_v and_o establish_v by_o god_n but_o as_o for_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o cry_v out_o upon_o we_o nowadays_o with_o full_a throat_n saying_n you_o must_v keep_v the_o old_a custom_n without_o change_v of_o any_o thing_n whereon_o be_v they_o ground_v they_o can_v say_v that_o god_n be_v author_n of_o any_o of_o their_o stuff_n man_n have_v contrive_v they_o after_o their_o own_o fancy_n or_o rather_o satan_n have_v blow_v they_o into_o their_o ear_n so_o that_o at_o a_o word_n all_o that_o be_v term_v god_n service_n in_o popery_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o confuzed_a maze_n all_o be_v but_o dream_n of_o man_n set_v forth_o and_o the_o devil_n be_v ever_o the_o chief_a author_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o these_o naughtipack_n say_v that_o nothing_o must_v be_v take_v from_o they_o and_o whereunto_o have_v they_o respect_v true_o they_o will_v allege_v that_o man_n must_v purchase_v god_n grace_n by_o they_o and_o that_o they_o stir_v folk_n up_o to_o great_a devotion_n again_o they_o give_v the_o title_n of_o sacrament_n too_o all_o the_o foolish_a device_n of_o their_o own_o head_n say_v such_o a_o thing_n must_v be_v keep_v for_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n but_o when_o all_o be_v just_o reckon_v a_o man_n shall_v see_v that_o their_o intent_n be_v to_o please_v the_o world_n and_o to_o maintain_v themselves_o still_o for_o they_o be_v enforce_v spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n to_o confess_v that_o it_o make_v neither_o here_o nor_o there_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o pass_v not_o for_o their_o kind_n of_o service_n but_o utter_o dislyke_v it_o because_o he_o will_v be_v serve_v with_o obedience_n but_o what_o there_o will_v be_v horrible_a confusion_n say_v they_o if_o man_n cut_v off_o all_o after_o that_o fashion_n and_o speak_v plain_o of_o thing_n see_v i_o pray_v you_o how_o they_o will_v fain_o disguise_v

the_o mean_a while_n to_o eschew_v persecution_n and_o that_o make_v they_o to_o disguise_v the_o gospel_n whereof_o we_o see_v too_o many_o example_n yet_o still_o at_o this_o day_n for_o such_o as_o see_v that_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v bruck_v of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o wicked_a sort_n do_v rage_n against_o it_o they_o i_o say_v will_v fain_o find_v some_o mean_a way_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v hate_v nor_o incur_v any_o displeasure_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o now_o a_o day_n you_o ask_v it_o of_o such_o as_o have_v but_o some_o little_a understanding_n you_o shall_v scarce_o find_v one_o of_o they_o among_o a_o hundred_o which_o will_v not_o grant_n that_o there_o be_v many_o abuse_n in_o popery_n but_o yet_o they_o will_v say_v that_o all_o must_v not_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o quick_a but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o some_o of_o the_o overgrosse_v and_o excessive_a superstition_n be_v take_v away_o and_o so_o they_o will_v fain_v still_o nourish_v a_o great_a sort_n of_o infection_n and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o will_v fain_o be_v in_o credit_n and_o estimation_n and_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n at_o all_o with_o they_o to_o betray_v the_o pureness_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o they_o may_v save_v themselves_o from_o persecution_n yea_o and_o even_o among_o we_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v enough_o that_o will_v have_v both_o and_o what_o move_v they_o but_o that_o they_o will_v advance_v themselves_o and_o get_v some_o reputation_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o we_o see_v that_o the_o devil_n which_o raise_v those_o broil_n in_o the_o time_n of_o saint_n paul_n continue_v the_o same_n unto_o this_o day_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v arm_v with_o this_o doctrine_n and_o the_o
folk_n their_o apsie_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v come_v in_o above_o he_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o state_n of_o perfection_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v see_v how_o the_o pope_n make_v a_o minglemangle_n or_o hotchpotch_n as_o man_n term_v it_o of_o all_o thing_n then_o be_v the_o word_n gospel_n villanous_o unhalow_v among_o the_o papist_n and_o these_o stickler_n which_o will_v have_v man_n to_o agree_v unto_o many_o superstition_n and_o too_o content_v themselves_o with_o a_o little_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v many_o abuse_n and_o error_n continue_v still_o do_v likewise_o darken_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n speak_v express_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o show_v that_o we_o must_v go_v to_o it_o roundly_o and_o not_o by_o half_n and_o that_o there_o must_v be_v no_o add_v nor_o diminish_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v teach_v we_o but_o that_o every_o man_n must_v be_v content_v to_o hear_v he_o speak_v and_o too_o let_v he_o have_v his_o mouth_n open_a let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n open_v our_o ear_n and_o be_v heedful_a to_o receive_v whatsoever_o he_o say_v and_o let_v no_o man_n presume_v to_o have_v a_o ore_n in_o that_o boat_n to_o say_v this_o will_v be_v good_a or_o this_o or_o that_o shall_v be_v do_v wherefore_o let_v we_o so_o reverence_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o none_o of_o we_o presume_v too_o change_v aught_o of_o it_o but_o all_o of_o we_o yield_v to_o it_o without_o exception_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o reason_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o so_o to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o true_a scholar_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o any_o man_n go_v about_o to_o make_v we_o swerve_v never_o so_o little_a from_o he_o or_o to_o gad_n after_o the_o doctrine_n &_o invention_n of_o man_n let_v we_o withstand_v they_o stout_o and_o why_o for_o saint_n paul_n have_v none_o other_o respect_n but_o that_o the_o gospel_n may_v abide_v in_o his_o pure_a &_o uncorrupted_a soundness_n wherefore_o let_v we_o follow_v he_o in_o the_o same_o nowadays_o and_o we_o can_v never_o do_v amiss_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n another_o be_v that_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o a_o inconvenience_n shall_v increase_v and_o spread_v abroad_o by_o our_o silence_n and_o forbear_n we_o must_v provide_v for_o it_o aforehande_v for_o it_o be_v to_o late_o to_o shut_v the_o stable_a door_n when_o the_o steed_n be_v steal_v therefore_o when_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o labour_v too_o entangle_v god_n truth_n or_o too_o mingle_v their_o own_o fancy_n with_o it_o do_v draw_v folk_n to_o they_o and_o begin_v too_o have_v some_o train_n and_o tail_n follow_v they_o then_o be_v it_o high_a time_n for_o we_o too_o be_v fiery_a in_o fight_v for_o if_o we_o bear_v it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o decay_n of_o the_o church_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o it_o and_o whereas_o we_o think_v too_o shift_v it_o off_o god_n will_v not_o grant_v we_o that_o grace_n for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o have_v be_v too_o cold_a and_o reckless_a therefore_o when_o the_o mischief_n increase_v and_o that_o there_o breed_v any_o infection_n of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o one_o begin_v too_o mar_v another_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o too_o set_v ourselves_o lusty_o against_o it_o and_o not_o suffer_v the_o shrewd_a weed_n too_o grow_v so_o far_o as_o to_o choke_v the_o corn_n but_o let_v we_o pluck_v they_o up_o bytimes_o and_o this_o be_v too_o be_v do_v not_o only_o in_o the_o error_n that_o mar_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n

too_o maintain_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o not_o suffer_v it_o in_o any_o wise_n to_o be_v corrupt_v also_o when_o we_o see_v vice_n reign_v we_o must_v provide_v for_o they_o and_o redress_v they_o in_o due_a season_n for_o if_o we_o bear_v with_o it_o and_o do_v as_o most_o man_n do_v which_o do_v but_o laugh_v at_o it_o and_o provide_v for_o it_o at_o leyzure_a we_o shall_v afterward_o

that_o these_o newter_n or_o dubblehanded_a man_n do_v put_v unto_o we_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o if_o the_o great_a abuse_n be_v amend_v it_o ought_v to_o suffyze_v us._n but_o let_v we_o

the_o idolatry_n be_v the_o same_o at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o popedom_n which_o it_o be_v among_o the_o painim_n under_o the_o name_n of_o their_o false_a god_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o change_v but_o only_o the_o name_n of_o they_o as_o for_o the_o superstition_n it_o be_v as_o filthy_a and_o detestable_a in_o the_o popedom_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v among_o the_o heathen_a here_o therefore_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o be_v wise_a to_o the_o intent_n that_o if_o the_o devil_n abuse_v god_n name_n we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o discern_v what_o authority_n man_n ought_v to_o have_v and_o therewithal_o not_o to_o be_v overhastie_a of_o belief_n nor_o over_o easy_a to_o be_v move_v and_o shake_v with_o every_o wind_n for_o if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o constancy_n to_o

the_o people_n of_o galatia_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o understande_v his_o word_n we_o must_v always_o go_v forward_o in_o it_o and_o not_o be_v shake_v like_o reed_n nor_o carry_v too_o and_o fro_o nor_o lead_v up_o and_o down_o like_o little_a babe_n but_o we_o must_v have_v the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n to_o stick_v to_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v too_o be_v offer_v we_o of_o god_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o by_o the_o way_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o can_v have_v such_o power_n in_o ourselves_o let_v we_o pray_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o earnestness_n unto_o god_n too_o reform_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o too_o give_v we_o such_o steadfastness_n as_o we_o may_v never_o swerve_v aside_o and_o that_o when_o we_o see_v all_o thing_n turn_v upside_o down_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o

will_v not_o stick_v to_o abuse_v god_n name_n to_o wind_v himself_o in_o and_o to_o get_v some_o access_n to_o we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o our_o reverence_v of_o man_n must_v be_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n may_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n continue_v unimpeach_v and_o that_o our_o lord_n may_v have_v the_o whole_a mastery_n over_o we_o to_o himself_o as_o he_o that_o be_v the_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o our_o faith_n depend_v not_o neither_o upon_o man_n knowledge_n nor_o upon_o any_o reputation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o their_o wisdom_n power_n or_o holiness_n but_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n may_v always_o have_v the_o preeminence_n for_o we_o to_o rest_n and_o settle_v ourselves_o upon_o for_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o

here_o concern_v the_o galathians_n but_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v think_v it_o strange_a why_o saint_n paul_n shall_v deal_v so_o rough_o with_o they_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o

the_o set_n forth_o of_o any_o notorious_a idolatry_n but_o upon_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o against_o who_o saint_n paul_n strive_v in_o this_o epistle_n maintain_v none_o

it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o their_o case_n be_v favourable_a in_o that_o behalf_n for_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o with_o they_o as_o it_o do_v with_o the_o pope_n who_o during_o his_o tyranny_n have_v forge_v many_o law_n and_o command_v this_o and_o that_o bring_v poor_a soul_n into_o bondage_n but_o their_o say_n be_v that_o inasmuche_o as_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o

altogether_o sound_a and_o good_a ageyne_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o reason_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o make_v so_o much_o a_o do_v about_o outward_a thing_n as_o whether_o one_o day_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v more_o than_o a_o other_o or_o whether_o swine_n flesh_n be_v not_o to_o be_v eat_v as_o well_o as_o mutton_n for_o whether_o a_o man_n observe_v any_o ceremony_n or_o whether_o he_o observe_v none_o as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o forbear_v the_o eat_n of_o swine_n flesh_n or_o do_v any_o other_o like_o thing_n be_v his_o so_o do_v a_o utter_a forsake_v of_o

they_o have_v forsake_v our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n and_o that_o they_o be_v become_v renegate_n some_o man_n will_v say_v he_o use_v overmuche_o vehemency_n but_o herein_o we_o be_v still_o warn_v that_o the_o devil_n will_v now_o and_o then_o find_v small_a trifle_n to_o draw_v we_o from_o the_o gospel_n ere_o we_o be_v aware_a and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o

but_o hold_v himself_o whole_o too_o god_n calling_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o herewithal_o we_o have_v too_o note_n that_o saint_n paul_n boast_v not_o himself_o at_o all_o adventure_n as_o many_o harebrayne_n do_v for_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o preach_v with_o full_a mouth_n that_o god_n have_v send_v they_o when_o as_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v but_o fantastical_a fellow_n and_o satan_n very_a champion_n serve_v to_o overthrow_v all_o but_o by_o the_o way_n s._n paul_n in_o protest_v his_o call_n ment_fw-la also_o to_o show_v by_o who_o he_o be_v call_v as_o we_o have_v see_v here_o before_o and_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o he_o have_v be_v convert_v by_o miracle_n to_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o have_v be_v teach_v upon_o the_o

in_o the_o city_n of_o antioch_n that_o s._n paul_n be_v appoint_v too_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o also_o that_o he_o have_v good_a warrant_n of_o it_o in_o all_o place_n where_o he_o come_v because_o god_n utter_v his_o power_n most_o manifest_o in_o he_o so_o then_o when_o as_o s._n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n he_o presuppose_v that_o it_o be_v already_o sufficient_o justify_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o office_n of_o he_o and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o pretend_v be_v not_o a_o false_a surmise_n after_o the_o

therefore_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o put_v forth_o must_v be_v take_v for_o good_a well_o gooto_fw-la if_o they_o which_o do_v nowadays_o take_v that_o title_n upon_o they_o will_v be_v herd_n they_o must_v look_v whither_o they_o have_v any_o resemblance_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o whither_o they_o execute_v the_o duty_n of_o good_a and_o faithful_a shepeherd_n but_o see_v they_o be_v

in_o many_o as_o well_o of_o ephesus_n of_o colossus_n and_o of_o philippos_n as_o of_o other_o place_n and_o where_o be_v all_o this_o succession_n now_o if_o any_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v up_o &_o send_v by_o he_o now_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v there_o ought_v to_o be_v cause_n why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v discern_v and_o not_o

many_o wicked_a affection_n so_o as_o we_o can_v come_v near_o unto_o god_n as_o we_o fain_o will_v do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o seven_o 19_o chapter_n too_o the_o roman_n sigh_v and_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v unhappy_a because_o he_o can_v do_v the_o good_a that_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v nor_o utter_o eschew_v the_o evil_a that_o he_o hate_v &_o

and_o to_o win_v they_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o again_o into_o the_o good_a way_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o s._n paul_n labour_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o galathians_n into_o the_o way_n of_o

jesus_n christ_n &_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o la_o for_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n we_o have_v see_v already_o and_o declare_v heretofore_o why_o s._n paul_n have_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o ceremony_n and_o shadow_n that_o be_v before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n conclude_v general_o that_o man_n can_v not_o attain_v righteousness_n before_o god_n to_o stand_v in_o his_o favour_n but_o by_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n now_o a_o man_n may_v deem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n that_o these_o be_v diverse_a matter_n howbeit_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o it_o behove_v paul_n to_o come_v to_o the_o pure_a use_n all_o ceremony_n to_o show_v that_o man_n do_v but_o beguile_v themselves_o when_o they_o think_v to_o obtain_v favour_n at_o god_n hand_n by_o their_o own_o merit_n second_o also_o i_o declare_v why_o s._n paul_n do_v express_o add_v the_o word_n law_n for_o although_o it_o have_v always_o be_v a_o common_a opinion_n in_o the_o world_n that_o by_o live_v well_o man_n may_v bind_v god_n to_o be_v good_a unto_o they_o yet_o do_v they_o fowl_o deceyve_v themselves_o therein_o for_o do_v what_o we_o can_v god_n shall_v not_o be_v any_o whit_n at_o all_o beholden_a unto_o we_o because_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o what_o soever_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v then_o be_v there_o not_o any_o desert_n if_o there_o may_v be_v any_o deserve_n at_o all_o but_o by_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v 5._o in_o say_v that_o he_o which_o fulfil_v the_o law_n shall_v obtain_v life_n and_o salvation_n for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v speak_v that_o word_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o accept_v the_o obedience_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o it_o deserve_a salvation_n but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o as_o much_o too_o say_v as_o that_o we_o can_v deserve_v ought_v for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o that_o discharge_v his_o duty_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o that_o promise_n will_v be_v too_o no_o purpose_n or_o at_o least_o wise_a it_o will_v be_v unavaylable_a so_o as_o it_o shall_v never_o take_v effect_n unless_o god_n give_v we_o another_o remedy_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n unless_o he_o forgive_v our_o offence_n and_o accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a although_o we_o be_v not_o so_o but_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o case_n stand_v when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o iustify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o claim_v favour_n and_o salvation_n because_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o such_o as_o keep_v his_o law_n shall_v be_v righteous_a and_o so_o take_v to_o be_v that_o will_v not_o serve_v our_o turn_n because_o none_o of_o we_o fulfil_v the_o law_n but_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o gyltie_n before_o god_n and_o must_v receyve_v sentence_n of_o damnation_n upon_o our_o head_n and_o for_o the_o better_a express_v hereof_o he_o make_v a_o comparison_n between_o the_o jew_n &_o the_o gentile_n although_o say_v he_o that_o we_o be_v jew_n by_o nature_n and_o not_o heathen_a man_n yet_o do_v we_o know_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o otherwise_o obtain_v god_n favour_n than_o by_o believe_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o it_o may_v peradventure_o seem_v that_o although_o man_n be_v corrupt_v in_o adam_n can_v not_o deserve_v aught_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o special_a privilege_n because_o god_n have_v adopt_v they_o as_o it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o child_n and_o account_v they_o to_o be_v as_o his_o household_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o the_o jew_n deceyve_v themselves_o for_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v
christ_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o and_o till_o we_o have_v cast_v our_o look_n upon_o he_o so_o as_o all_o our_o sense_n be_v settle_v upon_o he_o and_o as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o there_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o faith_n whereby_o we_o obtain_v grace_n be_v that_o after_o we_o once_o know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a creature_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o loath_a somnesse_n in_o we_o we_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o we_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n wherein_o we_o be_v plundged_a that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o clean_o by_o his_o blood_n that_o by_o his_o obedience_n he_o have_v put_v away_o all_o our_o offence_n and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n accept_v and_o receive_v we_o for_o his_o child_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o text_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v convert_v unto_o christianity_n do_v look_v too_o be_v save_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o add_v also_o the_o reason_n why_o namely_o because_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n he_o have_v well_o use_v that_o word_n if_o he_o have_v apply_v it_o but_o to_o his_o own_o countryman_n but_o here_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o man_n in_o general_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v no_o flesh_n at_o all_o first_o he_o betoken_v that_o the_o jew_n differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o the_o gentyle_n in_o the_o mean_a of_o obtain_v salvation_n wherefore_o although_o the_o jew_n be_v circumcyze_v be_v take_v as_o it_o be_v for_o god_n heritage_n and_o sanctify_v unto_o he_o yet_o not_o withstand_v they_o can_v not_o have_v any_o hope_n of_o salvation_n but_o by_o his_o mere_a grace_n lo_o how_o they_o be_v match_v with_o the_o gentyle_n and_o range_v in_o like_a degree_n with_o they_o again_o s._n paul_n mean_v here_o to_o deface_v utter_o all_o the_o over_o ween_v that_o man_n conceyve_v of_o their_o own_o virtue_n there_o be_v many_o which_o know_v they_o have_v overshoot_v themselves_o so_o far_o that_o they_o can_v challenge_v any_o glory_n too_o they_o as_o though_o they_o have_v deserve_v aught_o at_o god_n hand_n wretched_a drunkard_n unthrifte_n and_o such_o as_o have_v give_v

before_o man_n they_o be_v fain_o too_o hide_v themselves_o because_o of_o their_o lewdness_n but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o have_v some_o cloak_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o show_v some_o sign_n of_o

paul_n in_o name_v all_o flesh_n show_v that_o man_n must_v not_o shoal_n out_o themselves_o asunder_o as_o though_o one_o be_v righteous_a though_o another_o be_v not_o so_o but_o must_v all_o

they_o which_o make_v a_o goodly_a outward_a show_n in_o their_o life_n shall_v nevertheless_o be_v still_o conden_v before_o god_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n whereby_o s._n paul_n intend_v to_o

so_o then_o when_o our_o lord_n teach_v we_o and_o show_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o walk_v in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o lay_v the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o set_v forth_o and_o our_o

that_o be_v impossible_a unless_o we_o be_v lift_v up_o continual_o more_o and_o more_o therefore_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o profit_n in_o god_n school_n we_o must_v so_o labour_v to_o correct_v the_o

whereas_o god_n have_v advance_v we_o on_o high_a we_o will_v draw_v down_o and_o that_o be_v a_o manifest_a fight_v against_o he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o

in_o somuch_o that_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o hold_v they_o to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v without_o turn_v aside_o or_o wander_a away_o from_o it_o whereas_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o god_n spirit_n he_o meen_v not_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v treat_v of_o this_o morning_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o use_v a_o other_o

his_o child_n he_o have_v also_o ordain_v prophet_n among_o they_o and_o man_n endue_v some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_a &_o othersome_a with_o such_o

the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o how_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n communicate_v his_o spirit_n to_o all_o his_fw-la for_o without_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v christian_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o our_o nature_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o reform_v we_o &_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o may_v become_v as_o it_o be_v new_a creature_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n do_v make_v we_o general_o all_o parttaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o he_o enlighten_v with_o faith_n to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o cheer_v up_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o &_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o obedient_o to_o his_o will_n &_o to_o be_v short_a so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v common_a to_o
staff_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v he_o as_o he_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a then_o can_v not_o abraham_n bring_v aught_o of_o himself_o for_o look_v what_o goodness_n so_o ever_o he_o have_v he_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n and_o moreover_o the_o same_o be_v yet_o still_o unsufficient_a too_o save_o he_o for_o by_o nature_n he_o be_v utter_o lose_v and_o damn_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o adam_n line_n be_v therefore_o it_o stand_v he_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n shall_v receyve_v he_o through_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o single_o in_o his_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n justify_v of_o we_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o own_o mere_a and_o alone_a goodness_n and_o that_o thereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v in_o his_o promise_n by_o the_o virtue_n whereof_o he_o allow_v and_o accept_v we_o yea_o and_o our_o work_n also_o not_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o come_v of_o ourselves_o but_o for_o that_o we_o do_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o do_v he_o accept_v they_o and_o allow_v they_o as_o righteous_a yea_o even_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o reward_v they_o as_o the_o whole_a scripture_n do_v plentiful_o witness_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o this_o also_o proceed_v of_o faith_n for_o when_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v too_o say_v accept_v for_o righteous_a before_o god_n then_o also_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n accept_v they_o for_o rightful_a although_o there_o be_v not_o any_o worthiness_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o then_o like_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n only_o free_a goodness_n when_o we_o receyve_v his_o promise_n by_o faith_n even_o so_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v by_o the_o self_n same_o mean_a after_o that_o manner_n be_v abraham_n justify_v in_o his_o

you_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v make_v account_n of_o but_o only_a faith_n for_o have_v god_n list_v to_o sift_v abraham_n life_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v as_o all_o

have_v his_o eye_n shut_v against_o all_o vain_a trust_v wherewith_o man_n deceyve_v themselves_o he_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o able_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o life_n save_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o abraham_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n so_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o only_o of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v he_o justify_v so_o then_o let_v we_o leave_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n imagine_v to_o bring_v themselves_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n by_o mingle_v this_o and_o that_o with_o faith_n for_o they_o be_v all_o but_o falshod_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o let_v faith_n have_v such_o foundation_n as_o this_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o with_o all_o humility_n we_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v then_o righteous_a when_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v our_o work_n also_o be_v reckon_v for_o good_a and_o righteous_a because_o god_n list_v not_o to_o sift_v they_o narrow_o but_o take_v they_o in_o good_a worth_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o that_o text_n now_o that_o

when_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n be_v curse_v he_o mean_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n rest_n and_o muse_v upon_o their_o own_o work_n and_o think_v to_o obtain_v grace_n by_o that_o mean_a before_o god_n they_o be_v curse_v for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o like_o as_o he_o that_o forsake_v himself_o and_o renounce_v all_o that_o he_o

yet_o can_v he_o not_o love_n god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o it_o will_v behoove_v all_o our_o wit_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o love_n of_o he_o but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v if_o we_o

they_o be_v both_o one_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o but_o in_o this_o text_n the_o word_n faith_n have_v yet_o a_o more_o peculiar_a signification_n which_o be_v the_o revelation_n or_a

therefore_o at_o a_o word_n this_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v know_v now_o to_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n mean_v here_o to_o bewray_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o all_o such_o as_o make_v fair_a

according_a to_o god_n will_n to_o be_v short_a the_o examine_n of_o our_o life_n can_v not_o lie_v and_o heerewithall_o s._n paul_n mean_v also_o to_o confirm_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o speak_v
