not_o shut_v up_o within_o himself_o to_o have_v it_o for_o himself_o only_o but_o so_o to_o communicate_v it_o unto_o we_o as_o that_o by_o his_o mean_n we_o may_v be_v make_v just_a before_o god_n and_o how_o shall_v that_o be_v we_o have_v already_o show_v that_o god_n repute_v we_o for_o just_a &_o innocent_a when_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o bury_v our_o sin_n &_o iniquity_n and_o again_o according_o as_o he_o have_v regenerate_v we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v also_o to_o clothe_v we_o with_o his_o righteousness_n howbeit_o this_o be_v but_o in_o part_n while_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n our_o sin_n be_v full_o forgive_v we_o without_o exception_n &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v not_o so_o reform_v but_o that_o there_o still_o

we_o see_v in_o what_o sort_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o righteousness_n here_o we_o see_v the_o first_o point_n that_o we_o be_v to_o note_v the_o second_o be_v of_o the_o place_n salem_n and_o salem_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o peace_n and_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o that_o over_o and_o beside_o the_o righteousness_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o eftsoon_o enjoy_v a_o peace_n which_o he_o only_o open_v &_o which_o by_o none_o other_o mean_v we_o can_v obtain_v and_o although_o the_o wicked_a &_o contemner_n of_o god_n strive_v to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o peace_n yet_o do_v the_o lord_n so_o awaken_v they_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o frenzy_n as_o that_o they_o be_v like_o man_n half_o dead_a for_o mark_v how_o the_o wicked_a strive_v to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o peace_n that_o be_v they_o forget_v god_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v &_o so_o become_v very_o brutish_a and_o yet_o in_o despite_n of_o their_o tooth_n god_n will_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o he_o and_o when_o he_o appear_v unto_o they_o they_o tremble_v as_o before_o their_o judge_n and_o beside_o they_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o witness_n for_o their_o own_o conscience_n be_v more_o than_o all_o the_o action_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o they_o can_v but_o condemn_v themselves_o and_o although_o god_n seem_v to_o hold_v his_o peace_n yet_o can_v the_o wicked_a be_v pardon_v but_o that_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v their_o curse_n 57.21_o esay_n 48.22_o and_o 57.21_o and_o therefore_o as_o esaie_n witness_v there_o be_v no_o peace_n for_o the_o wicked_a but_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o ephesian_n christ_n be_v our_o peace_n because_o he_o have_v conjoin_v and_o unite_v we_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n 2.14_o ephes_n 2.14_o mark_v also_o why_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o say_v that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n he_o make_v a_o difference_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v to_o say_v between_o the_o peace_n which_o they_o seek_v after_o and_o can_v find_v it_o and_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o faithful_a the_o wicked_a will_v turn_v their_o back_n upon_o god_n and_o fly_v from_o he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o possible_o can_v but_o the_o faithful_a come_v before_o he_o and_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o their_o father_n because_o they_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o impute_v their_o sin_n unto_o they_o forsomuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v forgive_v they_o they_o and_o thus_o have_v they_o peace_n and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v the_o king_n of_o peace_n and_o there_o be_v more_o in_o it_o then_o so_o for_o the_o faithful_a be_v not_o only_o assure_v for_o the_o time_n present_a but_o also_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v for_o they_o know_v that_o god_n have_v begin_v his_o work_n in_o they_o conditional_o that_o he_o will_v perform_v it_o 1.6_o philip._n 1.6_o and_o therefore_o their_o trust_n be_v that_o he_o will_v never_o fail_v they_o but_o that_o he_o will_v more_o and_o more_o guide_n and_o govern_v they_o until_o they_o come_v unto_o his_o kingdom_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o have_v peace_n and_o shall_v possess_v it_o in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o without_o he_o we_o can_v be_v but_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o as_o we_o make_v war_n against_o he_o through_o our_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n he_o can_v choose_v also_o but_o arm_n himself_o against_o us._n here_o be_v also_o to_o be_v note_v that_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o when_o as_o melchisedech_n be_v bring_v in_o as_o

more_o to_o increase_v his_o grace_n in_o us._n and_o beside_o these_o prayer_n of_o we_o must_v have_v regard_n unto_o the_o time_n past_a concern_v our_o give_n of_o thanks_o and_o praise_n unto_o

such_o a_o one_o in_o deed_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v heretofore_o bestow_v upon_o us._n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v here_o to_o observe_v as_o concern_v the_o word_n of_o melchisedech_n bless_a be_v god_n which_o have_v deliver_v thy_o enemy_n into_o thy_o hand_n the_o same_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o victory_n come_v from_o god._n and_o also_o that_o

to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o give_v he_o that_o prosperous_a success_n we_o see_v also_o that_o although_o david_n have_v a_o strong_a and_o mighty_a array_n and_o have_v valiant_a and_o

worthy_a of_o it_o and_o he_o which_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o merit_n be_v unthankful_a if_o he_o discharge_v his_o duty_n unto_o he_o unto_o who_o he_o be_v bind_v and_o behold_v if_o we_o can_v then_o deserve_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o he_o for_o his_o part_n shall_v he_o beholden_a unto_o we_o and_o do_v we_o wrong_v if_o he_o pay_v we_o not_o that_o which_o he_o ought_v us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v pur_fw-mi debtor_n but_o a_o voluntary_a debtor_n for_o he_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o we_o why_o he_o shall_v be_v behold_v unto_o we_o but_o bind_v himself_o by_o his_o promise_n now_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o have_v promise_v we_o reward_n but_o it_o be_v of_o his_o own_o free_a gift_n and_o of_o no_o

one_o where_o there_o be_v so_o great_a diversity_n wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o marvel_v though_o the_o papist_n still_o conclude_v their_o argument_n thus_o and_o storm_n when_o we_o say_v that_o work_n can_v justify_v us._n for_o their_o supposal_n be_v false_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o if_o god_n reward_v those_o that_o be_v he_o that_o therefore_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o they_o be_v also_o worthy_a of_o it_o and_o that_o their_o work_n import_v some_o merit_n now_o all_o this_o be_v not_o worth_a a_o straw_n the_o reason_n i_o have_v already_o show_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n promise_v we_o reward_v it_o be_v not_o because_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a thereof_o but_o because_o it_o please_v he_o to_o add_v grace_n unto_o grace_n and_o all_o of_o his_o mere_a mercy_n goodness_n and_o liberality_n now_o we_o be_v always_o to_o keep_v this_o in_o mind_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n what_o shall_v we_o look_v for_o at_o his_o hand_n if_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o that_o that_o we_o deserve_v assure_o we_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o that_o unquietnes_n whereof_o we_o erst_o speak_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v in_o doubt_n and_o perplex_a and_o therefore_o our_o faith_n must_v be_v certain_a and_o this_o be_v that_o in_o sum_n which_o here_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v let_v we_o now_o come_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n james_n who_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a unto_o s._n paul_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v 2.24_o james._n 2.24_o for_o saint_n james_n say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n but_o by_o work_n a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o there_o can_v not_o be_v find_v two_o place_n more_o contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o work_n and_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o s._n james_n who_o speak_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n gainsay_v not_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v preach_v and_o publish_v from_o the_o begin_n in_o the_o church_n ratify_v by_o the_o prophet_n and_o which_o have_v be_v last_o more_o notable_o confirm_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o his_o apostle_n howbeit_o the_o solution_n be_v very_o easy_a when_o as_o we_o shall_v look_v into_o the_o drift_n and_o meaning_n of_o s._n james_n for_o he_o reason_v not_o there_o what_o true_a faith_n may_v do_v neither_o do_v he_o speak_v at_o all_o of_o true_a faith_n but_o of_o a_o counterfeit_a faith_n and_o such_o as_o be_v but_o like_a unto_o a_o image_n and_o a_o illusion_n for_o he_o reason_v there_o against_o such_o as_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o christianity_n will_v take_v liberty_n to_o do_v all_o wickedness_n as_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v too_o too_o many_o and_o beside_o the_o devil_n do_v so_o bestir_v himself_o to_o blind_v we_o as_o he_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o and_o so_o under_o the_o name_n of_o christianity_n will_v make_v we_o become_v very_o brutish_a and_o thereby_o pervert_v all_o and_o to_o bring_v also_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o professor_n into_o a_o slander_n to_o the_o end_n also_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v overthrow_v good_a work_n &_o will_v not_o have_v we_o worship_n and_o serve_v god_n as_o the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n despiteful_o reproach_n we_o therewithal_o wherefore_o s._n james_n see_v many_o

i_o will_v show_v thou_o my_o faith_n by_o my_o work_n whereby_o he_o sufficient_o show_v that_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v define_v that_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v certain_a and_o sure_a of_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n by_o his_o word_n and_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o s._n james_n speak_v not_o of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o this_o be_v and_o that_o which_o be_v not_o such_o a_o one_o can_v bring_v forth_o work_n we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o by_o faith_n we_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o and_o his_o spirit_n can_v be_v separate_v and_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o give_v unto_o we_o only_o for_o

unto_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n so_o then_o if_o s._n james_n have_v speak_v of_o this_o true_a faith_n it_o have_v be_v great_a folly_n for_o he_o to_o have_v say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o my_o faith_n by_o my_o world_n as_o be_v he_o will_v have_v say_v that_o true_a faith_n be_v so_o conjoin_v with_o good_a work_n as_o without_o they_o it_o be_v dead_a to_o wit_n it_o be_v no_o faith_n as_o afterward_o he_o say_v and_o therefore_o s._n james_n right_a well_o show_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o a_o faith_n which_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o by_o which_o we_o be_v certify_v of_o our_o salvation_n and_o herein_o the_o papist_n do_v gross_o abuse_v themselves_o to_o forge_v unto_o themselves_o a_o faith_n which_o they_o call_v unform_v that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o figure_n or_o shape_n and_o say_v that_o faith_n of_o itself_o be_v as_o it_o be_v but_o like_o a_o piece_n of_o earth_n or_o clay_n which_o a_o

saint_n james_n his_o meaning_n out_o of_o this_o text_n but_o these_o popish_a mastiff_n cur_n can_v no_o whit_n skill_n of_o this_o and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n very_o because_o they_o contemn_v god_n howbeit_o you_o shall_v hear_v they_o with_o open_a mouth_n talk_v of_o good_a work_n and_o a_o man_n will_v think_v to_o hear_v they_o debate_v thereof_o that_o they_o be_v angel_n and_o yet_o you_o may_v see_v what_o they_o be_v and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o the_o whole_a state_n of_o their_o life_n be_v not_o altogether_o dissolute_a for_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v neither_o monk_n nor_o friar_n doctor_n nor_o yet_o any_o of_o that_o shear_a rabble_n but_o they_o be_v either_o rybaulde_n skorner_n of_o god_n whoremonger_n drunkard_n blasphemer_n to_o be_v short_a it_o shall_v seem_v that_o they_o have_v conspire_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o bring_v the_o whole_a world_n unto_o confusion_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o will_v pretend_v good_a work_n and_o speak_v of_o nothing_o else_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n although_o they_o be_v so_o blind_a but_o to_o speak_v but_o a_o word_n of_o that_o which_o we_o have_v explain_v out_o of_o saint_n james_n we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o not_o without_o work_n &_o yet_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o not_o without_o work_n we_o separate_v not_o this_o and_o how_o so_o very_o because_o that_o he_o who_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v that_o god_n forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n believe_v in_o the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o know_v that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n he_o receive_v life_n from_o he_o so_o then_o whosoever_o believe_v after_o this_o sort_n be_v not_o justify_v without_o work_n and_o why_o because_o that_o god_n bestow_v his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o he_o which_o so_o reform_v he_o as_o that_o good_a work_n can_v be_v choose_v but_o be_v join_v together_o with_o faith_n and_o yet_o be_v the_o other_o say_v also_o true_a to_o wite_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o any_o help_n of_o good_a work_n so_o as_o we_o always_o remain_v bind_v unto_o god_n here_o we_o see_v two_o place_n without_o alter_v the_o word_n wherein_o it_o shall_v seem_v they_o be_v altogether_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n &_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v without_o work_n howbeit_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o work_n be_v not_o for_o all_o this_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o to_o make_v they_o merit_v any_o whit_n before_o god_n so_o as_o to_o accept_v we_o according_a to_o our_o worthiness_n but_o it_o be_v because_o that_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n bear_v we_o not_o only_o a_o simple_a grace_n and_o favour_n but_o a_o double_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o cover_v all_o our_o iniquity_n and_o offence_n through_o his_o pure_a obedience_n and_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n by_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v up_o once_o for_o all_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o he_o so_o rule_v and_o govern_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n who_o he_o have_v receive_v in_o all_o fullness_n and_o rest_v upon_o he_o that_o if_o so_o be_v we_o do_v not_o abuse_v his_o grace_n bestow_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o band_n of_o satan_n that_o we_o may_v take_v good_a heed_n as_o s._n peter_n say_v not_o to_o follow_v the_o lust_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n this_o than_o we_o see_v may_v suffice_v for_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o place_n now_o moses_n add_v immediate_o follow_v that_o god_n speak_v again_o unto_o abram_n and_o say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n which_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o ur_fw-la of_o the_o chaldee_n to_o give_v thou_o this_o land_n to_o inherit_v it_o here_o we_o see_v that_o god_n reitereat_v his_o promise_n for_o the_o confirm_v nourish_a and_o increase_v of_o abram_n his_o faith_n until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v grow_v unto_o a_o full_a perfection_n whereupon_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o although_o abram_n be_v the_o mirror_n and_o pattern_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o very_a image_n of_o righteousness_n yet_o be_v his_o faith_n imperfect_a for_o else_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v here_o set_v down_o be_v superfluous_a for_o if_o the_o faith_n of_o abram_n be_v so_o thorough_o confirm_v as_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v amend_v god_n need_v not_o to_o have_v speak_v any_o more_o and_o why_o so_o the_o promise_n have_v this_o use_n and_o benefit_n that_o they_o draw_v we_o unto_o faith_n and_o when_o we_o have_v get_v it_o they_o be_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o right_a way_n to_o encourage_v and_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o go_v on_o valiant_o to_o refresh_v we_o when_o we_o be_v almost_o weary_a to_o augment_v our_o virtue_n when_o it_o begin_v to_o fail_v and_o to_o be_v weak_a here_o i_o say_v we_o see_v why_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n testify_v &_o declare_v unto_o we_o of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n that_o he_o be_v our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o begin_v faith_n in_o we_o or_o else_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o abram_n to_o go_v somewhat_o further_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v unperfect_a yet_o that_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o justify_v us._n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o he_o impute_v not_o the_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o it_o unto_o we_o but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v we_o be_v here_o admonish_v by_o this_o place_n not_o to_o be_v prevent_v by_o any_o foolish_a opinion_n of_o our_o own_o as_o a_o great_a many_o of_o man_n be_v who_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o great_a

there_o like_o a_o feather_n cast_v into_o the_o wind_n not_o know_v which_o way_n to_o wind_v himself_o this_o i_o say_v be_v a_o grievous_a temptation_n to_o abraham_n when_o as_o he_o must_v needs_o go_v whither_o god_n call_v he_o not_o know_v whither_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v his_o a_o b_o c._n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n begin_v when_o as_o he_o mean_v to_o teach_v in_o his_o school_n and_o he_o be_v no_o soon_o come_v into_o the_o land_n but_o that_o he_o be_v eftsoon_o drive_v out_o thereof_o as_o it_o be_v with_o famine_n and_o his_o wife_n

within_o all_o the_o country_n which_o do_v not_o set_v himself_o against_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o patient_o endure_v and_o suffer_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o do_v not_o once_o murmur_v against_o god_n but_o endure_v all_o the_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o without_o discouragement_n be_v far_o unlike_a unto_o those_o that_o be_v so_o

he_o be_v not_o only_o thus_o deal_v withal_o three_o or_o four_o year_n together_o but_o be_v so_o tumble_v and_o toss_v as_o that_o when_o he_o have_v pass_v twenty_o thirty_o and_o forty_o year_n in_o that_o land_n he_o be_v to_o begin_v again_o to_o abide_v worse_a storm_n than_o he_o have_v at_o any_o time_n before_o bid_v as_o to_o be_v enforce_v to_o forsake_v the_o love_n of_o his_o

great_a and_o most_o grievous_a temptation_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v he_o the_o land_n yet_o be_v he_o so_o bait_v as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v worthy_a once_o to_o have_v set_v his_o foot_n in_o any_o place_n of_o the_o land_n god_n have_v also_o promise_v he_o seed_n 15.3_o gen._n 15.3_o but_o that_o come_v not_o neither_o until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v four_o score_n year_n old_a and_o his_o wife_n barren_a so_o as_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o this_o promise_n be_v but_o a_o very_a mockery_n and_o when_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a he_o have_v

without_o doubt_n we_o shall_v be_v wonderful_o amaze_v to_o see_v abraham_n have_v such_o a_o powerful_a and_o constant_a faith_n to_o fight_v against_o such_o assault_n and_o to_o overcome_v they_o now_o then_o when_o it_o be_v say_v after_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o set_v before_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o abraham_n such_o a_o spectacle_n as_o that_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o fight_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v hurtful_a unto_o we_o to_o follow_v his_o step_n neither_o yet_o think_v it_o strange_a or_o any_o new_a thing_n to_o conform_v and_o fashion_v ourselves_o like_a unto_o he_o who_o be_v father_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o although_o every_o man_n will_v thorough_o look_v unto_o the_o temptation_n which_o he_o be_v to_o suffer_v yet_o shall_v he_o not_o be_v able_a to_o see_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o that_o which_o we_o see_v in_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o as_o god_n have_v bountiful_o bestow_v the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o he_o so_o also_o mean_v he_o to_o make_v a_o through_o trial_n of_o his_o faith_n for_o god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o gift_n lie_v a_o rust_n and_o be_v unprofitable_a in_o we_o but_o will_v deal_v with_o every_o man_n according_a to_o that_o measure_n of_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v us._n for_o he_o prepare_v we_o to_o endure_v they_o or_o else_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o undergo_v they_o nor_o once_o move_v one_o finger_n to_o do_v well_o except_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o dispose_v the_o same_o and_o give_v we_o the_o power_n to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o whensoever_o he_o put_v we_o to_o the_o combat_n he_o bestow_v the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o us._n now_o forsomuch_o as_o abraham_n have_v great_a perfection_n in_o comparison_n of_o we_o according_a as_o we_o be_v man_n see_v how_o god_n also_o prove_v he_o with_o such_o strange_a sort_n of_o trial_n as_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o come_v never_o unto_o howbeit_o so_o much_o the_o less_o excuse_n have_v we_o for_o our_o idleness_n coldness_n and_o wantonness_n if_o we_o follow_v not_o at_o least_o in_o some_o measure_n our_o father_n abraham_n and_o although_o the_o constancy_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o equal_a unto_o he_o yet_o if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o ourselves_o to_o follow_v he_o some_o what_o aloof_o as_o we_o say_v according_a to_o our_o ability_n and_o infirmity_n without_o doubt_n we_o shall_v be_v without_o all_o excuse_n so_o then_o we_o have_v from_o hence_o to_o gather_v that_o abraham_n be_v all_o his_o life_n long_o torment_v both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o yet_o when_o it_o be_v come_v even_o to_o the_o up-cast_n as_o we_o say_v god_n will_v needs_o prove_v he_o without_o all_o comparison_n more_o lively_a than_o ever_o at_o any_o time_n before_o he_o have_v do_v so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v madehim_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n to_o have_v dispair_v have_v he_o not_o in_o most_o wondered_a manner_n confirm_v he_o therein_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o what_o end_n be_v this_o matter_n of_o abraham_n recite_v we_o abraham_n the_o benefit_n that_o every_o one_o shall_v make_v of_o these_o temptation_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v not_o because_o we_o shall_v wonder_n at_o his_o virtue_n and_o magnify_v and_o commend_v his_o so_o great_a power_n and_o strength_n but_o to_o the_o end_n to_o
of_o this_o doctrine_n at_o this_o day_n as_o ever_o we_o have_v for_o general_o if_o we_o make_v profession_n of_o christianity_n we_o must_v look_v to_o be_v eseem_v as_o heretic_n and_o dog_n and_o to_o have_v the_o world_n judge_v we_o to_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o innovation_n and_o trouble_n and_o to_o be_v very_a rebel_n and_o that_o we_o have_v forsake_v god_n and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o be_v far_o worse_o than_o apostate_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o papist_n speak_v daily_a of_o us._n now_o if_o we_o be_v so_o effeminate_a and_o have_v such_o itch_a ear_n as_o we_o see_v a_o great_a many_o that_o will_v fain_o keep_v themselves_o in_o their_o good_a reputation_n without_o doubt_n we_o shall_v cunning_o daub_v and_o smooth_a over_o every_o thing_n and_o so_o in_o the_o end_n forsake_v god_n wherefore_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o right_o to_o meditate_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n to_o wit_n we_o must_v not_o care_v what_o reputation_n we_o have_v with_o man_n so_o that_o we_o be_v approve_v before_o god_n we_o may_v also_o come_v to_o particular_n as_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v walk_v in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o his_o heart_n godly_a and_o honest_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o fall_n a_o scoff_a at_o he_o you_o shall_v have_v other_o some_o call_v he_o hypocrite_n and_o another_o sort_n will_v say_v that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o gain_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n by_o these_o subtle_a practice_n go_v about_o to_o make_v we_o become_v dissolute_a wherefore_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v so_o to_o apply_v all_o our_o sense_n unto_o god_n as_o that_o although_o man_n never_o so_o unjust_o blame_v we_o yet_o let_v not_o we_o be_v move_v once_o to_o bend_v or_o yield_v but_o have_v a_o eye_n always_o unto_o the_o way_n that_o be_v set_v before_o us._n we_o see_v also_o what_o collection_n we_o be_v to_o make_v hereof_o what_o a_o strong_a faith_n abraham_n have_v when_o he_o be_v thus_o qualify_v for_o he_o premeditate_v these_o

among_o all_o the_o fantasy_n which_o be_v in_o his_o head_n as_o to_o think_v sure_o my_o servant_n will_v keep_v i_o from_o do_v this_o act_n because_o they_o will_v think_v i_o to_o be_v mad_a and_o in_o steed_n of_o bind_v my_o son_n they_o will_v bind_v i_o and_o carry_v i_o back_o in_o spite_n of_o my_o tooth_n into_o some_o house_n and_o there_o keep_v i_o like_o a_o mad_a and_o sauáge_a beast_n as_o if_o god_n have_v utter_o condemn_v i_o now_o abraham_n foresee_v all_o these_o thing_n hereby_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o darkness_n he_o be_v so_o enlighten_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o have_v always_o counsel_n &_o discretion_n according_o as_o he_o have_v need_v thereof_o we_o be_v therefore_o by_o his_o example_n let_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o we_o have_v such_o great_a passion_n as_o may_v astonish_v we_o so_o as_o we_o know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v we_o let_v we_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o

their_o creation_n for_o in_o a_o minute_n assoon_o as_o god_n have_v speak_v the_o word_n behold_v the_o heaven_n be_v full_a of_o this_o army_n royal_a as_o the_o scripture_n call_v they_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o heavenly_a host_n be_v create_v in_o a_o minute_n and_o be_v continual_o obedient_a unto_o his_o majesty_n we_o see_v that_o all_o the_o star_n keep_v their_o due_a course_n

abram_n for_o therein_o he_o may_v have_v thus_o conclude_v since_o god_n in_o a_o moment_n furnish_v all_o heaven_n with_o star_n where_o before_o be_v not_o one_o may_v he_o not_o also_o furnish_v

have_v promise_v but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n he_o can_v not_o keep_v himself_o within_o such_o compass_n but_o that_o he_o will_v needs_o ask_v the_o question_n how_o it_o can_v be_v

bottomless_a dungeon_n to_o have_v flee_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o that_o authority_n that_o it_o deserve_v but_o it_o must_v also_o be_v therewithal_o qualify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o sure_a and_o certain_a word_n unto_o we_o as_o may_v make_v we_o approach_v near_o
