our_o own_o be_v we_o never_o so_o ignorant_a it_o must_v be_v none_o other_o man_n be_v he_o never_o so_o learned_a and_o it_o must_v be_v our_o own_o not_o by_o ordinary_a course_n of_o read_v

effuse_a this_o be_v with_o those_o man_n that_o noble_a and_o that_o worthy_a kind_n of_o preach_v which_o must_v in_o credit_n and_o authority_n equal_a the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o power_n and_o perspicuity_n far_o excel_v they_o a_o very_a blind_a and_o a_o bad_a kind_n of_o doctrine_n for_o these_o great_a inconvenience_n must_v needs_o ensue_v of_o it_o first_o if_o our_o sermon_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o they_o common_o affirm_v it_o will_v from_o thence_o follow_v that_o the_o preacher_n in_o his_o sermon_n can_v err_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n can_v not_o err_v and_o so_o we_o who_o have_v teach_v all_o this_o while_n that_o the_o father_n can_v err_v the_o pope_n can_v err_v the_o counsel_n can_v err_v shall_v now_o teach_v with_o the_o self_n same_o mouth_n that_o we_o ourselves_o can_v err_v which_o be_v both_o a_o impudent_a and_o a_o impious_a assertion_n for_o what_o be_v that_o which_o can_v privilege_v we_o from_o error_n in_o our_o preach_v the_o chair_n of_o moses_n can_v not_o privilege_v the_o pharisee_n from_o error_n the_o chair_n of_o peter_n can_v privilege_v the_o pope_n from_o error_n the_o earthly_a paradise_n can_v not_o privilege_n the_o first_o man_n from_o error_n nay_o heaven_n itself_o can_v not_o privilege_v the_o angel_n from_o error_n and_o can_v only_o the_o pulpit_n privilege_v we_o from_o error_n be_v not_o papistry_n preach_v be_v not_o heresy_n preach_v be_v not_o schism_n and_o contention_n and_o all_o error_n preach_v do_v not_o all_o these_o find_v pulpit_n to_o vent_v themselves_o out_o of_o why_o then_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o a_o sermon_n may_v not_o only_o be_v the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n but_o also_o sometime_o the_o word_n of_o a_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n the_o word_n of_o a_o schismatic_n the_o word_n of_o a_o papist_n ezech._n the_o word_n of_o a_o heretic_n for_o as_o gregory_n true_o teach_v we_o si_fw-mi desit_fw-la spiritus_fw-la

god_n as_o they_o affirm_v it_o will_v from_o thence_o follow_v that_o all_o our_o gloss_n must_v needs_o be_v canonical_a scripture_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v canonical_a scripture_n and_o so_o we_o who_o have_v teach_v all_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o father_n to_o be_v but_o the_o bare_a opinion_n of_o man_n shall_v foolish_o now_o teach_v of_o our_o own_o exposition_n that_o they_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v to_o set_v the_o preacher_n not_o up_o in_o moses_n chair_n but_o to_o pluck_v down_o god_n himself_o and_o to_o set_v he_o up_o in_o god_n chair_n three_o if_o preach_v be_v true_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o they_o affirm_v then_o if_o i_o expound_v the_o scripture_n one_o way_n and_o another_o man_n a_o other_o way_n both_o these_o must_v be_v take_v for_o canonical_a sense_n and_o both_o be_v true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n though_o the_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v clean_o contrary_a unto_o the_o other_o as_o they_o be_v but_o too_o too_o often_o and_o so_o even_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v make_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v indeed_o no_o better_o than_o a_o very_a nose_n of_o wax_n to_o be_v bow_v every_o way_n though_o we_o bitter_o and_o worthy_o reprove_v it_o in_o the_o papist_n four_o if_o preach_v be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o sole_a ordinary_a mean_n to_o beget_v a_o true_a faith_n in_o we_o as_o they_o affirm_v then_o will_v it_o from_o thence_o follow_v that_o the_o scripture_n of_o themselves_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o salvation_n but_o as_o the_o papist_n add_v unto_o they_o their_o apocryphal_a and_o unwritten_a tradition_n so_o we_o must_v add_v unto_o they_o our_o vocal_a and_o speak_a exposition_n to_o make_v they_o perfect_a these_o and_o diverse_a such_o like_a false_a &_o dangerous_a consequent_n must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o fantastical_a doctrine_n that_o preach_v be_v proper_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n 3._o of_o which_o

a_o new_a and_o a_o strange_a opinion_n which_o only_o do_v proceed_v from_o human_a pride_n and_o ignorance_n and_o from_o a_o arrogant_a conceit_n of_o man_n which_o dote_v upon_o their_o own_o

that_o part_n of_o his_o writing_n shall_v be_v hold_v and_o esteem_v but_o as_o the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n but_o some_o man_n now_o adays_o be_v so_o far_o enamour_v of_o themselves_o and_o so_o vain_o conceit_v of_o their_o own_o gift_n in_o preach_v as_o to_o obtrude_v all_o the_o idle_a fancy_n of_o their_o own_o addle_n head_n under_o none_o other_o title_n but_o the_o very_a word_n of_o

foundation_n of_o his_o sermon_n the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o build_v upon_o it_o as_o well_o clay_n and_o stubble_n as_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o these_o man_n do_v tell_v we_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v they_o that_o they_o do_v build_v nothing_o but_o only_o pure_a gold_n belike_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v we_o to_o take_v all_o for_o gold_n that_o glitter_v belove_a though_o we_o ought_v in_o all_o true_a sincerity_n to_o give_v all_o due_a honour_n and_o reverence_n unto_o sermon_n when_o they_o be_v true_o make_v according_a to_o god_n word_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o put_v this_o difference_n between_o sermon_n and_o scripture_n the_o scripture_n we_o must_v know_v 1.21_o to_o be_v god_n own_o divine_a and_o holy_a word_n contain_v nothing_o but_o pure_a and_o try_a truth_n be_v all_o of_o they_o write_v and_o pen_v by_o god_n holy_a spirit_n and_o by_o he_o so_o commend_v unto_o his_o holy_a church_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o the_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v reverent_o accept_v without_o all_o exception_n but_o for_o sermon_n we_o have_v a_o other_o rule_n and_o direction_n we_o must_v in_o they_o both_o examine_v the_o spirit_n of_o every_o speaker_n 4.1_o &_o exact_v the_o matter_n of_o every_o speech_n unto_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o berean_n deal_v even_o with_o the_o apostle_n paul_n himself_o 17.11_o so_o that_o sermon_n ought_v to_o have_v no_o great_a credit_n with_o we_o than_o they_o can_v gain_v unto_o themselves_o by_o their_o agreement_n with_o the_o scripture_n if_o they_o dissent_v from_o they_o no_o pulpit_n can_v sanctify_v they_o no_o spirit_n can_v make_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n 1.8_o if_o they_o consent_v with_o they_o yet_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v now_o seal_v up_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v call_v but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o can_v but_o only_o by_o some_o
