THE

I
consider
,
(
Noble

how
that
after
the

of

,
vtter
wrake
and
ouerthrow
of
the

thereof
,
lamentable
leading

being
in
captiuitie
of
the
Iewes
,
and
to
the
eyes
of
man
,
the
vnrecouerable
desolation
of
that
whole
common

,
hauing
nowe
as
it
were
,
lying
so
many
years
deadly
buried
:
yet
at

,
besides
their
deliuerance
,
which
was
most
wonderful
,
how
I
say
that
wherin
their
greatest
beautie
,
and
highest
felicitie
euer
did
stand
:
yea
,
the
onely
glorie
wherein
any
people
could
excell
,
that
is
,
the
lawe
of
God
giuen
by
MOYSES

was
found
out

desperate

vndestroyed

I
can
not
but
acknowledge
the
wonderful
prouidence
&
exceeding
great
mercy
of
our
god
,
in
preseruing
from
tyme
to
tyme
,
his
blessed
law
and
word
,
wherein
onely
consisteth
the
glorie
&
felicitie
of
his
church
vpon
the
face
of
this
earth
,
from
deprauation
,
corruption
,
and
destruction
,
in
whatsoeuer
extreame
dangers
:
howsoeuer
the
blinde
papistes
cannot
see
this
without
a
visible
&
glistering
succession
of
a
Church
,
to
do
the
same
.
The
like
perswasion
,
whereof
now
in
the
whole
body
of
the
scripture
,
now
in
some
parts
or
portions
of
the
same
:
the
histories
of
tymes
and
memories
of
men
do
recorde
:
so
that
Gods
carefull
prouidence
:
&
mercyful
preseruation
hath
alwayes
beene
bent
hereaway
.
And
if
it
be
lesome
to
compare
small
,
base
,
and
litle
thinges
,
vnto
such
as
are
great
,
highe
,
and
mightie
:
surely
there
was
a
certein
prettie
,
learned
,
and
godly
treatise
,
M.
Henry
Balnaues
.
compyled
by
a
diuine
lawier
,
and
honourable
sessioner
of
the
kings
maiestie
,
his
session
and
publicke
Counsell
,
which
through
the
iniuries
of
time
,
negligence
of
keepers
,
great
and
carefull
distractions
of
the
author
,
was
so
lost
,
and
to
the
opinion
of
all
perished
,
that
being
earnestly
coueted
,
greatly
desired
,
and
carefully
sought
for
,
and
searched
out
by
some
good
,
godly
,
and
learned
,
as
hauing
some
intelligence
of
the
authors
trauels
in
that
part
:
yet
it
could
neuer
bee
had
,
as
desperate
at
any
tyme
to
haue
beene
able
to
bee
recouered
:
vntill
to
mans
appearance
of
mere
chance
,
but
most
assuredly
by
the
mercyfull
prouidence
of
our
God
,
a
certeine
godly
,
and
zealous
gentleman
,
Richard
Bannantine
.
priuy
to
the
desires
of
some
that
so
earnestly
coueted
it
,
being
in
the
towne
of
Hormistoun
in
Lothiane
,
findeth
the
same
in
the
handes
of
a
child
,
as
it
were
seruing
to
the
childe
to
playe
him
with
,
and
so
receaued
and
recouered
the
the
same
.
And
as
this
treatise
was
a
prettie
,
&
gentill
strand
of
the
aboundant
fountaine
of
the
scriptures
:
why
might
it
not
in
this
point
sauour
of
the
own
source
,
spring
,
&
beginning
?
why
might
not
the
birth
in
such
a
case
follow
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
womb
?
&
why
might
not
the
daughter
this
farre
euen
resemble
the
mother
,
or
be
of
the
same
fortune
,
&
as
it
were
subiect
,
to
the
same
fatalitie
with
her
.
Wherefore
,
this
treatise
comming
to
my
handes
,
as
a
singuler
token
of
the
finders
louing
kindnes
,
and
liberall
will
,
and
affection
towards
mee
,
considering
the
worthines
,
vtilitie
,
compendious
learning
,
and
singuler
godlines
thereof
:
I
could
not
,
either
bee
so
inique
to
the
honourable
fame
of
the
godly
author
:
either
so
ingrate
to
the
louing
propiner
,
and
offerer
vnto
mee
,
either
enuious
to
the
common
wealth
of
christianitie
,
or
sacrilegious
towards
God
,
in
suppressing
his
glorie
in
this
point
,
as
not
to
commit
the
same
by
my
trauell
,
to
a
longer
and
more
lastie
memorie
:
that
so
in
this
raritie
of
trustie
and
faithfull
handmaides
,
and
great
store
of
treasonable
dealing
of
vile
hyrelings
:
This
lawful
&
louing
daughter
might
after
a
maner
and
some
what
ancillat
or
famulat
(
so
to
speake
it
after
the
latines
)
to
the
owne
mother
,
that
is
,
to
the
scriptures
,
whereof
shee
floweth
and
proceedeth
.
And
surely
not
a
fewe
,
nor
small
reasons
moued
mee
to
vtter
the
same
(
worshipful
Lady
)
vnder
the
shadow
of
your
name
,
and
as
it
were
dedicat
it
,
at
least
my
paines
and
trauels
in
setting
it
out
,
vnto
your
honour
.
For
,
it
being
found
and
recouered
in
your
ground
and
holding
,
and
after
a
maner
being
the
birth
thereof
:
who
can
so
iustly
as
yee
nowe
and
yours
challenge
the
right
of
the
same
,
after
Gods
calling
to
his
mercies
,
the
Author
:
It
is
also
a
work
bredd
&
broght
forth
in
that
affliction
,
and
banishment
for
Christs
sake
,
in
the
which
yee
did
breede
and
bring
forth
your
dearest
children
.
It
is
the
worke
of
a
faithfull
brother
and
most
trustie
Consellour
participant
of
all
the
afflictions
,
&
continuing
constant
to
the
end
,
and
in
the
end
.
It
is
such
,
that
when
as
it
was
(
I
wot
not
howe
)
negligently
letten
bee
,
amongest
the
handes
of
babes
to
play
them
with
,
it
was
through
gods
prouidence
recouered
by
that
godly
gentleman
,
your
Ladyships
secretarie
.
Richard
Bannantine
.
Iohn
knox
.
It
was
by
that
notable
seruant
of
God
,
whome
the
Larde
,
your
Husband
of
godly
memorie
,
and
yee
did
euer
so
duetifully
reuerence
,
and
he
so
fatherly
&
christianely
loue
you
,
so
earnestly
cared
for
,
&
so
diligently
sought
out
,
&
inquired
of
,
that
it
might
be
preserued
from
perishing
as
almost
nothing
more
.
And
as
the
booke
of
the
law
found
in
the
temple
by
Gods
prouidence
,
was
presented
to
IOSIAS
,
to
renew
again
the
couenant
betwixt
God
,
and
his
people
,
&
to
bring
them
againe
vnder
his
right
obedience
,
and
found
them
in
his
true
knowledge
and
worshipping
,
which
all
now
a
long
time
had
beene
put
in
obliuion
:
who
wot
,
but
the
like
is
resembled
and
shadowed
to
you
,
and
giuen
you
to
vnderstande
and
learne
in
finding
this
pendicle
of
Gods
lawe
,
and
word
in
your
dwelling
,
that
yee
and
yours
maybe
put
in
mind
of
your
duety
towardes
God
,
constantly
to
abyde
by
his
trueth
,
and
to
see
that
hee
bee
truely
serued
in
your
dominion
,
that
yee
and
yours
thus
first
seeking
the
kingdome
of
god
,
&
righteousnes
thereof
,
then
all
other
things
may
bee
cast
vnto
you
:
in
case
yee
or
they
faile
in
so
doing
,
it
may
be
a
testimonie
against
you
or
them
,
that
God
hath
offered
him self
euen
to
be
found
by
you
,
&
in
your
ground
,
and
yet
ye
haue
not
rightly
regarded
him
.
Surely
,
these
with
other
reasons
,
besides
my
duetie
towards
your
honour
,
moued
me
to
set
out
this
small
worke
chiefly
vnder
your
name
.
The
vtilitie
whereof
(
I
doubt
not
)
shall
be
found
so
profitable
,
the
delite
so
pleasant
,
the
dignitie
so
excellent
,
that
whosoeuer
readeth
it
,
shall
find
them
greatly
commodat

by
the
goodnes
of

thereof

,
&
honorablie
decored
throgh
your

whereby
they
inioye
the

Now
as

When
(
after
this
)
god
of
his
great
mercy
,
according
to
his
owne
promis
,
sometyme
made
to
ABRAHAM
,
had
placed
the
people
of
Israel
,
in
the
land
of
CANAAN
:
Sathan
to
corrupt
the
true
religion
,
&
vltimo
.
vnder
the
pretext
of
the
true
worshipping
of
God
:
And
albeit
,
frequently
they
were
reproued
,
by
true
Prophetes
;
Yet
euer
superstition
preuailed
,
while
God
of
his
righteous
iudgement
,
was
compelled
to
punish
,
first
ISRAEL
,
and
thereafter
IVDA
,
giuing
them
in
the
power
of
their
ennemies
,
which
translated
them
from
their
owne
Countreyes
:
SALMANASER
,
ISRAEL
,
vnto
ASSYRIA
:
&
NEBVCADNETZAR
,
IVDA
vnto
Babylon
.
Then
Sathan
beleeued
the
true
knowledge
,
and
worshipping
of
God
,
to
haue
decayed
for
euer
.
But
he
was
farre
deceaued
,
when
first
NEBVCADNETZAR
,
king
of
BABYLON
,
&
the
mightiest
prince
in
the
earth
,
&
after
him
DARIVS
,
the
potent
king
of
MEDIA
,
receaueth
the
true
knowledge
of
the
Lord
God
,
by
DANIEL
the
prophet
,
one
of
the
same
nomber
,
whiche
were
transported
from
their
owne
countrey
.
And
not
only
receaued
the
kings
(
then
hauing
the
whole
Empyre
in
earth
)
the
true
religion
of
god
,
but
also
commanded
the
same
to
be
obserued
by
their
subiectes
.
For
after
this
manner
,
it
was
written
:
Then
DARIVS
wrote
vnto
all
people
,
nations
&
toungs
in
the
vniuersal
earth
,
saying
:
Peace
bee
multiplied
with
you
.
A
decreite
is
ordeined
by
mee
,
that
in
my
vniuersal
Empyre
&
kingdom
,
all
men
shall
feare
,
dread
,
and
honour
the
God
of
DANIEL
:
for
he
is
the
liuing
&
eternall
God
for
euer
.
He
is
a
deliuerer
,
&
Sauiour
,
working
signes
,
&
wonderfull
thinges
in
heauen
&
earth
,
which
hath
deliuered
Daniel
from
the
denne
of
lions
.
Secondly
after
Darius
,
the
most
prosperous
,
valiant
,
&
mighty
CYRVS
,
the
first
Monarche
of
the
Persians
,
&
Medians
,
not
onely
of
the
true
liuing
God
(
by
the
same
prophete
)
obteined
knowledge
,
but
also
for
singuler
affection
which
he
bare
to
the
true
religion
,
restored
vnto
libertie
the
people
of
Israell
,
permitting
vnto
them
to
build
a
new
temple
of
SOLOMON
,
and
to
repare
the
walles
of
Ierusalem
,
which
by
the
Babylonians
sometyme
were
brought
to
ruine
.
And
albeit
that
by
the
perpetuall
hatred
of
sathan
,
working
by
his
members
,
some
years
they
were
impedite
,
yet
at
the
last
(
to
the
great
consolation
of
all
the
people
)
was
the
work
finished
,
where
many
years
after
,
Gods
true
religion
was
obserued
.
Sathan
neuer
beleeued
his
purpose
rather
to
take
effect
,
than
when
after
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
,
hee
moued
the
princes
of
the
priests
(
who
then
were
estemed
the
true
church
of
god
)
to
persecute
the
Apostles
,
and
other
professours
of
Christs
euangel.
For
who
beleeued
not
great
damnage
to
followe
the
congregation
.
When
after
the
death
of
STEVEN
(
who
was
stoned
to
death
)
the
professours
were
dispersed
,
And
they
whiche
were
scattered
abroad
,
because
of
the
affliction
that
arose
about
STEVEN
,
went
through
till
they
came
vnto
PHENICE
,
and
CYPRVS
,
and
ANTIOCHIA
,
preaching
plainly
the
Euangell
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Of
these
,
and
other
testimonies
of
the
scripture
,
we
may
consider
(
dearely
beloued
brethren
)
that
the
infinite
goodnesse
of
our
Father
,
turned
the
same
thinges
,
whereby
sathan
and
his
members
intende
to
destroy
,
and
oppresse
,
the
true
religion
of
God
,
to
the
aduancement
,
and
forthsetting
thereof
.
And
that
no
lesse
in
these
latter
,
wicked
,
and
dangerous
dayes
,
then
he
did
in
any
age
before
vs
.
Which
thing
,
shall
openly
declare
,
this
godly
worke
subsequent
.
The
counsell
of
sathan
in
the
perfection
of
vs
:
first
was
to
stoppe
the
wholesome
winde
of
Christs
Euangell
,
Scotland
.
And
how
that
our
mercifull
father
amongst
these
tempestuous
stormes
,
by
all
mens
exspectation
,
he
hath
prouided
some
rest
for
vs
,
as
this
present
worke
shall
testifie
:
which
was
sent
to
mee
in
ROANE
,
lying
in
Irons
,
and
sore
troubled
by
corporall
infirmitie
,
in
a
galley
,
named
Nostre
Dame
:
by
an
honourable
man
and
faithfull
Christian
Brother
,
M.
Henry
Balnaues
of
Halhill
:
for
the
present
,
holden
as
prisoner
(
thought
vniustly
)
in
the
old
pallaice
of
ROANE
.
Which
worke
after
I
had
once
again
read
,
to
the
great
confort
and
consolation
of
my
spirite
:
by
counsell
&
aduise
of
the
foresaid
noble
and
faithfull
man
,
Authour
of
the
same
worke
:
I
thought
expedient
,
it
should
be
digested
in
chapters
.
And
to
the
better
memory
of
the
reader
,
the
contents
of
euery
Chap.
preponed
briefly
vnto
them
:
with
certaine
annotations
,
to
the
more
instruction
of
the
simple
,
in
the
margent
:
And
also
that
an
Epitome
of
the
same
work
,
shuld
be
shortly
collected
:
wee
haue
likewise
digested
the
same
in
chapters
,
which
follow
the
worke
in
place
of
a
table
:
which
thing
I
haue
done
,
as
imbecillitie
of
ingine
,
and
incommoditie
of
place
would
permit
:
Not
so
much
to
illustrate
the
worke
,
(
which
in
the
self
is
godly
and
perfite
)
as
together
with
the
foresaid
noble
man
,
and
faithfull
brother
,
to
giue
my
confession
of
the
article
of
iustification
therein
conteined
:
and
I
beseech
you
,
beloued
brethren
,
earnestly
to
consider
if
we
deny
any
thing
presently
,
or
yet
conceale
or
hide
,
which
any
time
before
we
professed
in
that
article
.
And
now
we
haue
not
the
castle
of
S.
Andrew
to
bee
our
defence
,
as
some
of
our
enemies
fasly
accused
vs
,
saying
:
If
we
wanted
our
walls
,
we
would
not
speak
so
boldly
.
But
we
pray
the
eternal
god
,
that
the
same
affection
,
which
now
&
then
remained
in
vs
,
remaine
with
them
eternally
.
The
Lorde
shall
iudge
,
if
all
which
we
spak
,
was
not
of
pure
hart
:
hauing
no
respect
,
either
to
loue
or
hatred
of
any
person
,
but
onely
to
the
word
of
God
,
and
veritie
of
his
scriptures
,
as
we
must
answere
in
the
great
day
of
the
Lorde
:
where
no
man
shall
haue
place
to
dissemble
.
But
blessed
be
that
lord
whose
infinite
goodnes
and
wisdome
,
hath
tane
from
vs
the
occasion
of
that
slaunder
,
and
hath
showen
vnto
vs
that
the
serpent
hath
power
only
to
stang
the
heele
:
that
is
to
molest
and
trouble
the
fleshe
,
but
not
to
moue
the
spirite
from
constant
adhearing
to
Iesus
Christ
,
nor
publick
professing
of
his
true
word
.
O
blessed
bee
thou
eternall
father
,
which
by
thy
only
mercy
,
hast
preserued
vs
to
this
day
,
and
prouided
that
the
confession
of
our
faith
,
which
euer
wee
desired
all
men
to
haue
knowen
,
should
by
this
treatise
come
plainely
to
light
.
Continue
(
O
Lord
)
and
graunt
vnto
vs
,
that
as
now
with
pen
and
ink
:
so
shortly
wee
may
confesse
,
with
voice
and
toung
the
same
,
before
thy
congregration
,
vpon
whome
looke
,
O
Lord
God
,
with
the
eyes
of
thy
mercy
,
and
suffer
no
more
darknes
to
preuaile
.
I
pray
you
,
pardon
me
,
beloued
brethren
,
that
on
this
maner
I
digresse
;
vehemency
of
spirite
(
the
lord
knoweth
,
I
lye
not
(
compelleth
me
thereto
.
The
head
of
Sathan
shall
be
troaden
down
,
when
he
beleeueth
surely
to
triumphe
.
Therefore
,
most
deare
brethren
(
so
call
I
all
professing
Christes
Euangell
)
continue
in
that
purpose
,
which
yee
haue
begunne
godly
,
though
the
battell
appeare
strong
,
your
Captaine
is
vnexpugnable
.
To
him
is
giuen
all
power
in
heauen
,
and
earth
.
Abide
,
stand
,
and
call
for
his
support
:
and
so
the
ennemies
,
which
now
affraye
you
,
shortly
shal
be
confounded
,
and
neuer
againe
shall
appeare
to
molest
you
.
Consider
,
brethren
,
it
is
no
speculatiue
Theolog
,
which
desireth
to
giue
you
courage
,
but
euen
your
brother
in
affliction
,
which
partly
hath
experience
,
what
sathans
wrath
may
doe
against
the
chosen
of
God
.
Reioyse
(
yet
I
say
)
spiritually
,
&
bee
glad
:
the
time
of
the
battell
is
short
,
but
the
reward
is
eternall
.
Victorie
is
sure
,
without
yee
list
to
fly
(
which
God
forbid
)
from
Christ
.
But
that
ye
may
plainly
know
wherby
are
Sathan
and
the
world
ouercome
,
and
which
are
the
weapons
against
whome
they
may
not
stand
:
yee
shall
reade
diligently
,
this
work
following
:
which
,
I
am
sure
,
no
man
hauing
the
spirite
of
God
,
shal
thinke
tedious
,
nor
long
,
because
it
conteineth
nothing
,
except
the
very
scriptures
of
God
,
and
meditations
of
his
law
.
It
is
not
my
purpose
to
commend
,
or
aduance
this
worke
with
wordes
(
as
commonly
writers
of
prophane
,
or
humane
science
do
)
seeing
,
the
verity
by
the
selfe
,
is
onely
to
be
commended
.
But
one
thing
bouldly
I
dare
affirme
,
that
no
man
,
which
commeth
with
a
godly
hart
hereto
,
shall
passe
from
the
same
,
without
satisfaction
.
The
firme
&
weake
,
shall
find
strenght
,
and
confort
.
The
rude
,
and
simple
,
true
knowledge
,
and
erudition
.
The
learned
,
and
godly
,
humble
reioycing
,
by
the
omnipotent
spirite
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
whome
bee
glorie
before
his
congregation
.
Amen
.
This
worke
following
,
conteineth
three
principall
parts
.
The
first
parte
,
how
man
being
in
trouble
,
should
seek
refuge
at
God
alone
.
And
that
naturally
all
men
is
subiect
to
trouble
,
and
howe
profitable
the
same
is
,
to
the
godly
.
Last
,
of
the
cruell
persecution
of
Sathan
,
and
his
members
,
against
the
chosen
of
God
.
The
second
part
conteineth
,
how
man
is
released
of
his
trouble
,
by
faith
and
hope
in
the
promisses
of
god
,
&
therefore
declareth
the
article
of
Iustification
,
prouing
that
faith
onely
iustifieth
before
God
,
without
all
deseruing
or
merite
of
our
workes
:
either
preceeding
or
following
faith
:
with
a
solution
to
certaine
contrarie
arguments
,
made
by
the
aduersaries
of
faith
,
&
this
article
:
With
the
true
understanding
of
such
scriptures
,
as
they
alledge
for
them
.
The
third
and
last
part
conteineth
the
fruites
of
faith
,
whiche
are
good
workes
,
which
euery
man
should
worke
,
according
to
their
owne
vocation
,
in
euery
estate
.
All
this
plainely
may
be
perceaued
in
the
life
of
our
first
parent
ADAM
,
which
by
transgression
of
Gods
commandement
fell
in
great
trouble
and
affliction
.
From
which
hee
should
neuer
haue
beene
released
,
without
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
had
first
called
him
.
And
secondly
,
made
vnto
him
the
promisse
of
his
saluation
:
The
which
ADAM
beleeuing
,
before
euer
hee
wrought
good
workes
,
was
reputed
iust
.
After
during
all
his
life
,
hee
continued
in
good
workes
,
striuing
contrarie
Sathan
,
the
worlde
,
and
his
owne
flesh
.

THE

CHAPTER

What
should
be
the
study
of
man
:
And
what
man
should
do
in
time
of
tribulation
.
AS
desirous
as
the
wild
hart
is
(
in
the
most
burning
heat
and
vehement
drouth
)
to
seeke
the
could
fontaine
or
riuer
of
water
,
to
refresh
his
thirst
:
So
desirous
should
we
be
(
O
lord
God
)
to
seeke
vnto
thee
,
our
Creator
,
&
Maker
in
all
our
troubles
and
afflictions
,
and
say
with
the
Proph.

That
is
,
the
maner
how
he
will
deliuer
.
,
what
they
call
him
,
nor
what
similitude
,
forme
or
shape
,
he
is
of
:
for
that
is
forbidden
thee
in
his
lawe
:
hee
is
that
he
is
,
the
God
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
,
and
the
God
of
the
Fathers
,
to
whome
he
made
the
promis
of
our
redemption
.
He
would
show
his
name
no

of
him

Of
this
maner
knowe
thy
God
,
three
Persons
distinct
in
one
substance
of
godhead
:
Confound
not
the

,
nor
deuide
not

But
beleeue
fearmly
&
indoubtedly
as
thou
art
teached
in
the
Symbole
of
the
Apostles
,
and
of
the
holy
man
Athanasius
,
confessed
in
the
holy
church
of
Christ
.
Ascend
no
higher
in
the
speculation
of
the
Trinitie
,
than
thou
art
teached
in
the
scriptures
of
God
.
If
thou
wilt
haue
knowledge
of
the
father
,
seek
him
at
the
Sone
.
[
*
](A03284-e1210-b)
*
That
is
,
giue
credit
to
the
doctrine
which
Iesus
the
sonne
of
God
hath
teached
.
If
thou
wilt
know
the
Son
,
seek
him
at
the
Father
.
For
none
knoweth
the
Sone
,
but
the

,
&
none
may
com
to
the
knowledge
of
the

And
also
Christ

desired
of
Phillip

beleeuest

Therefore

for

&
seeing

great

THis

who

thy

vnprofitable

&
hast
not

ten

Our

that
the

of

may
be
mortified

the
which
we
haue
of

Adam

Thys
corruption
of

teacheth
vs
what
we
haue
of
our
first
Parentes
,
and
what
we
are
of

:
which
being
considered
,
shal
lead
vs
to
the
knowledge
of

:
in
whome
we
shall
find
goodnes
,
mercy
,
and
iustice
,
as
we
may
clearly
perceaue
in
our
first
parent
:
For
,
after
he
had
transgressed
the
law
and
commandement
of
god
,
he
fled
from
him
,
whom
god
followed
,
moued
of
loue
toward
his
handie
work
,
and
called
him
again
,
in
the
which
he
did
shew
his
goodnes
:
and
when
he
accused
Adam
of
his
sin
,
he
was
not
penitent
nor
trusted
not
in
the
mercy
of
god
,
or
asked
forgeuenesse
:
But
excused
hys
transgression
and
fault
.
Neuerthelesse
god
of
his
infinite
mercy
,
made
the
promes
of
saluation
,
or
euer
he
would
prononce
the
sentence
contrarie
the
man
or
woman
,
(
saying
)
to
the
serpent
:
I
shall
put
enymity
betweene
thee
and
the
woman
,
and
betweene
thy
seed
and
the
womans
seede
.
The
seed
of
the
woman
shal
tread
downe
thy
head
,
and
thou
shal
sting
the
same
on
the
heele

Adam
,
was
conforted
with
these
words
,
and
through
faith
in
thys
promis
,
was
of
wicked
made
iust
,
that
is
receaued
again
in
fauour
,
and
through
faith
in
the
bloud
of
Christ
to
be
shed
,
was
accepped
as
iust
.
And
thereafter
god
manifested
his
Ire
and
wrath

,

of
his
righteous
iudgement
he
can
not

Skinne

the

of

(
saying
)
behold
,
Adam
is
made
as
it
were
one
of
vs
,
knowing
good
and
euil
,
that
is
asmuch
to
say
:
O
miserable
man
,
now
thou
mayest
perceaue
thy
state
,
and
the
fruites
thou
hast
gotten
for
the
transgression
of
my
commandement
:
what
is
thy
knowledge
that
thou
hast
learned
nothing
but
to
fly
from
thy
Maker
,
to
passe
from
life
to
death
,
from
great
pleasure
to
all
miserie
?
And
so
Adam
is
spoyled
of
all
the
noble
gifts
:
he
was
indued
with
,
in
his
creation
,
as
here
after
time
&
place
at
more
length
shal
be
showen
:
read
with
order
the
3.
Chapter
of
Genes.
and
thou
shalt
vnderstand
this
matter
clearly
.
Nowe
,
yee
may
see
what
was
our
first
parents
part
,
in
the
obteining
of
this
promisse
of
God
.
Very
lie
,
no
more
then
he
had
of
his
creation
,
but
rather
lesse
,
for
beyng
but
dust
and
clay
:
hee
made
no
euill
cause
,
but
being
made
man
,
he
disobeyed
his
Maker
,
trangressed
his
law
,
vsurping
glorie
to
hym selfe
,
and
knowledge
,
which
became
him
not
to
seeke
.
For
the
which
he
deserued
nothing
but
eternall
dampnation
.
Abraham
,
in
his
fathers
house
,
an
Idolater
as
he
was
,
and
the
rest
of
his
house
,
made
no
good
cause
to
god
nor
merite
to
obteyne
the
promisse
,
that
he
should
bee
the
father
of
all
faithfull
:
but
only
beleeued
in
the
promis
of
god
,
as
hereafter
shal
be
discussed
:
but
euen
as
thei
were
accepted
as
iust
through
faith
,
without
all
their
merites
or
deseruinges
:
so
shall
wee
bee
which
are
the
Sonnes
of
Abraham
,
No
other
way
shold
we
seeke
,
but
the
order
taught
vs
in
the
scriptures
of
God
,
that
is
,
if
wee
wil
be
sure
of
our
saluation
and
haue
passage
to
the
father
,
passe
vnto
Christ
,
I
am
the
waye
,
the
trueth
,
and
the
life
,
no
man
commeth
to
the
father
,
but
by
me
.
If
yee
had
knowledge
of
me
,
ye
should
also
haue
knowledge
of
the
Father
:
Therefore
,
if
we
will
walke
right
in
the
way
,
go
with
christ
,
and
walk
in
him
,
if
wee
will
not
bee
deceaued
,
passe
vnto
him
:
for
he
is
the
veritie
who
can
nether
deceaue
,
nor
be
deceaued
:
&
if
we
wil
not
die
the
eternal
death
,
he
is
the
life
.
These
gifts
may
we
haue
,
of
no
other
but
of
him
,
&
by
him
only
through
faith
,
in
the
mercy
of
God
,
by
the
operation
of
the
holie
spirit

The

two

turned

dolor

What

did

hee
receaued

slew

The
confort
of
Adam
in
all
afflictions
,
and
example
left
to
vs
therinto
.
GReat
was
the
trouble
and
affliction
both
of
body
and
spirite
,
which
was
in
Adam
,
standing
trimbling
before
god
,
whome
hee
had
so
highlye
offended
,
perceauing
him self
deceaued
of
the
false
promis
,
made
by
the
Serpent
,
which
was
that
he
shuld
not
die
:
how beit
hee
eat
of
the
aple
,
but
should
bee
like
vnto
God
,
knowe
good
and
euill
,
being
therefore
eiected
forth
of
that
pleasant
gardin
of
all
delite
and
pleasure
,
in
to
the
miserable
earth
,
to
eat
his
bred
with
the
sweat
of
his
face
.
Trust
well
,
he
was
sore
penitent
now
:
&
would
haue
suffered
great
torment
vpon
his
body
,
to
haue
satisfied
for
his
offences
:
but
that
could
not
be
,
nor
might
not
stand
,
with
the
iustice
of
god
.
What
was
his
confort
then
?
nothing
but
this
promisse
,
which
he
apprehended
by
faith
:
and
beleeued
him
to
be
in
the
fauour
of
god
,
for
that
promiseth
seedes
sake
.
This
conforted
his
spirite
,
or
els
of
despair
he
had
perished
in
this
sorrow
&
trouble
:
for
he
found
no
remeady
in
himself
.
For
his
bodily
consolation
,
god
sent
him
twoo
sonnes
by
naturall
propagation
to
his
owne
Image
and
similitude
.
This
was
no
litle
consolation
and
confort
to
Adam
:
but
this
bodilie
confort
[

](A03284-e2660-b)
*
All
pleasure
of
earthly
thinges
turnes
and
ends
in
sorrow

turned
shortly
into
great
displeasure
when
the
one
Brother
slewe
the
other
of
malice
,
by
the
which
Adam
was
destitute
of
all
succession
.
Thus
dolorously
lead
he
his
life
a
long
time
,
desiring
euer
at
God
succession
in
place
of
Abell
.
Of
whome
god
had
pitie
and
compassion
,
and
sende
him
a
Sonne
,
named
Seth
,
of
whome
descended
the
promissed
seed
,
that
god
might
be
found
true
in
his
sayings
,
for
rather
would
he
haue
raysed
Abel
from
death
to
life
,
then
his
promis
shuld
not
haue
bene
fulfilled
.
By
this
was
the
dolor
and
trouble
of
Adam
conuerted
into
ioy
and
gladnes
.
For
the
which
hee
gaue
thankes
and
praise
vnto
God
,
saying
,
god
hath
sent
me
another
seed
:
for
Abell
,
Abell
:
Howbeit
by
naturall
generation
he
begat
him
,
&
Eue
bare
him
of
her
bosom
,
but
saith
:
god
hath
sent
me
another
seede
for
Abell
,
ascriuing
the
same
to
the
gift
of
god
,
and
not
to
the
work
of
man
Let
vs
herefor
take
example
of
our
forefather
,
that
like
as
he
was
subiect
to
trobles
and
afflictions
,
all
the
daies
of
his
life
in
this
miserable
world
:
Euin
so
are
we
,
&
let
vs
take
therefore
all
thing
in
patience
,
thinking
vs
to
haue
deserued
the
same
iustly
,
how
iust
that
euer
we
be
or
appeer
to
the
world
:
trust
well
there
is
,
nor
was
neuer
man
which
descended
of
Adam
by
naturall
propagation
iuster
,
nor
he
was
after
his
fall
:
for
there
is
no
mention
in
the
scripture
of
any
offense
done
by
Adam
,
contrarie
the
lawe
of
his
god
,
after
his
expulsion
forth
of
paradise
.
And
as
for
his
first
rebellion
and
corrupting
of
hys
nature
,
we
are
all
gilty
of
that
as
he
was
:
and
then
also
gilty
of
our
sinnes
,
proceeding
of
that
rebellion
:
wherefore
we
may
well
be
worse
then
he
,
but
no
better
.
Thinke
well
,
he
confessed
him
iustly
punished
,
&
thought
,
he
deserued
more
punishment
,
than
euer
was
put
vpon
him
.
Taking
euer
consolation
of
the
sweet
promises
of
god
,
in
the
which
he
beleeued
:
and
in
all
his
troubles
conforted
him
,
with
hope
to
be
deliuered
of
them
as
all
faithfull
doe
.
And
to
be
restored
to
the
glorie
hee
was
eiect
from
,
for
his
owin
foolishnes
,
without
al
merits
or
deseruings
of
himself
,
which
ware
nothing
in
him

and

There
hath
beene

What
is

of
iustification

why
the
article
therof
should
be
holden
in
memorie

TO
the
faithful
these
bodily
afflictions
and
troubles
are
marueilous
necessarie
:
Pet.

for
by
them
,
the
faith
is
tryed
and
made
more
pretious
than
gold
,
which
is
purified
by

for
by
many

it
is
needefull
to

to
enter
in
the
realme
of
heauen
,
by
firme
and
constant
perseuering
in
faith
,
S.
P.
And
also
it
behoued
Christ
to
suffer
,
&
so
to
enter
into
his
glory
that
is
not
for
him selfe
,
S.
Pet.
sayth
in
his
first
Epist.
the
4.
Chapter
.
But
in
this
matter
take
no
care
what
the
world
iudge
of
thee
,
but
to
thy
owne
conscience
and
the
scriptures
of
god
:
for
the
iudgemente
of
the
world
pronuncis
contrarie
to
the
word
of
god
,
calling
them
which
professes
the
same
:
Heretikes
,
seditious
men
,
and
perturbers
of
common
weales
.
Therfore
they
thinke
they
punish
iustly
in
birning
,
slaying
,
banishing
,
and
confisking
of
landes
and
goodes
.
And
howbeit
,
the
faithfull
suffer
all
patiently
,
and
vndeserued
:
yet
they
say
they
suffer
iustly
as
traitors
,
heretickes
,
homicides
,
perturbers
of
common
weales
,
and
euill
doers

Let
these
sayinges
not

The
substance
of
the
article

is
to
cleaue
and
stick
fast
by
our
God

beleeue
firmly

that

our selfs
,
nor
yet
by

workes

which
are

by
the
helpe

the

That
is
Sathan
after
he
perceaued

doubt
of
the
faith
and
verity
of
Gods
word
,
durst
affirme
the
contrarie
:
saying
though
ye
eate
of
the
tree
ye
shall
not
die
:
wherto
the
woman
giuing
credit
transgressed
Gods
command
and
so
to
doubt
of
Gods
promis
is
rute
of
all
wickidnesse
.
loue
and
feare
of
God
:
said
,
howbeit
ye
eat
of
the
fruicts
of
this
trie
:
ye
shall
not
die
the
death
:
ye
know
not
wherefore
God
hath
forbidden
you
to
eate
of
the
same
:
but
I
shall
show
you
the
cause
.
God
knoweth
that
in
what
soeuer

yee
shall
eate
of
the
fruict
of
this
trie
,
your
eyes
shall
be
opened
,
and
ye
shall
be
like
Gods
knowing
good
&
euill
.
This
same
persuasion
hath
all
the
wicked
:
which
perswades
man
to
trust
to
his
owne
workes
,
merites
,
power
,
and
strength
,
therby
to
be
made
iust
,
and
to
get
greate
rewarde
of
god
,
for
doing
of
workes
not
commanded
by
God
:
but
inuented
by
mans
vaine
conceat
,
thinking
that
God
shall
be
pleased
therewith
.
But
surely
euen
as
our
forefather
was
deceaued
,
so
shall
we
be
,
if
we
consent
thairto
.
Heerefore
giue
trust
to
no
thing
in
this
case
,
Ye
shall
vnderstande
that
Adam
knew
good
,
and
euill
,
before
the
eating
of
the
aple
,
for
that
teached
him
the
law
of
nature
:
and
the
other
great
wisedome
hee
was
cloathed
with
,
as
yee
may
reade
in
Eccles.
the
17.
Chap.
(
saying
)
god
created
them
with
the
spirit
of
knowledge
,
and
with
wisedome
,
and
vnderstanding
,
hee
fulfilled
the
harts
of
them
:
and
shew
vnto
them
good
and
euill
.
His
iudgementes
&
iustice
also
he
shew
to
them
.
What
then
,
was
the
knowledge
Adam
got
of
the
eating
of
the
aple
?
(
onely
)
that
he
had
offended
his
good
god
,
transgressed
his
law
,
the
which
shew
to
him
his
offences
,
and
sin
.
By
this
knowledge
he
vnderstood
,
that
hee
was
fallen
from
the
good
state
,
in
which
he
was
created
,
&
shuld
haue
remained
(
if
he
had
obeyed
the
law
of
his
god
)
into
the
miserable
estate
of
sin
:
for
he
had
neuer
knowen
what
the
trangression
of
the
lawe
had
bene
,
if
he
had
not
sinned
.
The
law
before
taught
him
,
what
he
should
doo
,
&
leaue
vndone
,
This
hatred
and
enimity
is
old
,
which
Sathan
hath
moued
contrary
mankind
,
&
had
the
beginning
at
the
first
creation
of
man
:
of
malice
conceaued
to
bring
man
in
the
same
rebellion
he
was
in
.
This
persecution
of
sathan
shal
endure
to
the
latter
iudgement
:
therefore
,
let
vs
bee
walke
full
and
diligent
,
euer
armed
with
our
shield
faith
,
the
word
of

euer

Wherefore
Cain
slew
Abell

howe
long
god
suffered
the
article
of
iustification
to
be
pursued
by
the
seede
of
Cain
.

What
paine
hee
tooke
at

,
and
howe
Sathan
reserued
his
seede
.

Whereof
sprang
the
Idolatrie
,
whiche
abounded
betweene
the
dayes
of
Noe
,
and
Abraham
,
and
vnder
what
pretext
it
was
defended
.
SHortly
hereafter
,
the
said
aduersarie
(
a
man
killer
and
lyer
)
perswaded
&
entised
the
one
brother
to
slaye
the
other
,
[
*
](A03284-e4010-b)
*
Cain
gloried
hee
was
the
first
begotten
&
thought
therefore
▪
he
wes
acceptable
.
But
Abel
knew
him self
a
sinnar
seeking
for
Gods
fauor
by
that
promesed
seed
alone
Cain
,
who
was
wicked
,
and
an
hipocrit
,
whose
sacrifice
pleased
not
god
becaus
the
person
was
not
acceptable
to
him
:
Therefore
god
looked
to
Abell
,
and
to
his
workes
:
vnto
Cain
and
his
workes
he
looked
not
.
There
followed
against
the
saide
article
,
the
perpetuall
persecution
of
Sathan
intolerable
by
the
sonnes
of
Cain
,
while
God
wes
compelled
(
prouoked
of
his
ryghteous
iudgement
)
to
drowne
the
whole
worlde
,
Noe
Cham
,
as
testifies
the
historie
.
After
this
the
whole
world
rysing
in
a
madnes
&
fury
,
impugning
this
article
of
iustification
,
finding
&
inuenting
innumerable
Idols
,
and
religions
:
with
the
which
they
pretended
to
please
God
,
with
their
owne
works
and
inuentions
,
euerie
one
making
to
him selfe
a
particular
,
or
peculiare
god
or
gods
.
The
which
is
no
other
thing
:
but
to
think
that
without
the
help
of
Christ
of
their
owne
power
,
works
,
&
Inuentions
they
may
redeeme
them
selues
,
from
sin
,
&
all
euils
:
and
please
god
with
their
free
will
,
and
naturall
reason
.
From
Noe
,
vnto
Abraham
our
saide
aduersarie
Sathan
,
so
couered
this
article
that
no
outward
testimony
is
found
therof
in
Scripture
.
And
trust
well
,
the
fathers
all
this
time
had
many
pleasant
workes
,
inuented
of
their
own
conceat
,
good
intention
&
naturall
reason
.

some
footsteppes
of

It
is
not
to
presume
that
the
preaching
of
Noe
,
&
the
word
of
God
taught
to
him
,
and
his
sonnes
by
the
mouth
of
god
,
&
his
maner
of
sacrifice
was
past
from
their
memory
,

man
is
lyghtly
drawn
from
faith

seeing

)
would
steir
vp
this
article
of

in
Abraham
,
that
his
church
should
not
perish
.
Commanding
him
in
these
words
:
Iosua
.
the
24.
chap.
for
the
scripture
is
the
best
interpreter
of
it selfe
.
And
so
stired
vp
this
article
in
the
person
of
Abraham
,
in
these
words
,
saying
,
I
shall
make
the
in
a
great
nation
,
and
I
shall
blesse
the
,
Abraham
,
who
past
forward
as
God
commanded
him
:
to
whome
he
gaue
credence
,
&
surelie
beleued
in
his
promisse
.
And
left
all
wordlie
affections
,
committing
him
wholy
into
the
hands
of
God
:
depending
only
vpon
his
word
:
beleeuing
the
same
trew
:
hoping
to
obtein
all
things
which
were
promesed
him
by
the
word
of
god
:
of
the
which
he
had
deserued
no
thing
,
for
the
scriptures
testifies
him
to
be
no
other
but
an
Idolater
,
as
his
father
was
.
Efter
this
God
dreue
,
and
inculcat
this
article
of
iustification
in
the
eares
of
Abraham
saying
:
Dreid
not
Abraham
,
I
am
thy
defender
,
and
rewarde
aboue
measure
.
&c.
Thou
shalt
haue
him
to
be

heire
that
shall
passe
forth

:
Thy
seede
shal
be
as
the
starres

heauen
.
Abraham
beleeued
God
and
it
was
reputed
to
him
for
Ryghteousnesse

Then
began
sathan
our
aduersary
,
newly
to
impung
this
article
,
〈◊〉

euer
to
annul
the
promis
of

&
as
he
perswaded
Cain
to
pursue

,
euen
so
perswaded
he
Ismael
to
pursue
Isaac
:
Esau
Iacob
:
&
the
rest
of
the
brethren
young

:
whom
they
sold

Thus

the
old
hatred
&
enimitie
betwen

seed

.
And
so

through
him
by

The
fleshlie
man
and
worldly
iudgement
is
deceaued
in
the
knowledge
of
this
seed
as
our
mother
Eue
was
:
For
she
said
after
she
had
conceaued
and
borne
Cain
.
I
haue
gotten
or
possessed
a
man
by
God
,
that
is
according
to
the
promis
made
by
god
:
I
haue
gotten
the
seed
that
shal
tread
down
the
serpents
hed
.
Here
she
looked
not
into
faith
but
tooke
the
fleshlie
reason
of
the
first
begotten
sonne
.
Seth
,
she
held
her
peace
,
because
she
knewe
her selfe
deceaued
before
in
the
opinion
of
Cain
:
And
then
cleued
to
faith
as
Adam
did
,
God
hath
giuen
to
mee
an
other
seede
,
for
▪
Abell
whome
Cain
hath
slaine
.
Abraham
beleued
of
his
fleshly
iudgment
,
that
Ismaell
wes
the
promesed
seed
as
appeareth
by
the
answear
he
made
to
god
,
when
he
said
to
him
.
Sarai
shall
bare
vnto
thee
a
sonne
,
whome
I
am
to
blis
&c.
Abraham
smiled
in
his
harte
,
and
said
:
wold
to
god
Ismael
might
liue
befor
thee
.
Isaac
,
he
vnderstood
spirituallie
&
obeyed
the
voice
of
his
wyfe
.
The
seed
of
the
serpent
contended
with
the
seede
promesed
in
the
bosum
of
that
noble
and
godlie
woman
Rebecca
:
S.
Paule
.
Rom.
the
9.
Chap.
But
trust
well
,
she
vnderstoode
spiritually
by
faith
,
that
Iacob
was
the
promised
seede
:
when
shee
procured
and
laboured
so
diligently
,
that
he
should
get
the
blessing
of
his
father
&
defrauded
the
eldest
Esaw
.
This
was
not
knowen
to
Isaac
,
for
he
wold
not
only
that
Esawe
should
succeede
to
the
heritage
:
but
to
haue
gotten
the
blessing
also
,
which
Iacob
obtained
by
perswasion
of
his
mother
.
Iacob
,
who
at
last
was
compelled
to
fly
for
feare
of
his
life
.
And
so
euer
the
seede
of
the
serpent
,
pursues
the
chosing
conforme
to
this
beginning
.
Let
Abell
dye
and
Cain
liue
.
But
finally
the
seede
of
Iacob
succeeded
to
the
land
of
promission
.
And
inioyed
the
heritage

Howbeit

The
article
of
iustification
preached
after
the
death
of
Christ
.
YE
shall
vnderstande
that
the
Iewes
had
a
fleshly
opinion
of
this
promised
seede
:
for
they
vnderstood
that
the
Messias
which
was
promised
to
them
,
should
rule
temporaly
as
Dauid
did
:
and
establish
his
realme
in
great
quietnes
,
&
rest
,
withal
pleasure
,
&
voluptuousnes
,
as
yee
may
vnderstand
by
the
desire
of
the
mother
of
the
Sons
of
Zebedee
.
By
this
yee
shall
vnderstande
,
not
only
that
the
fleshely
iudgement
is
deceaued
in
knowledge
of
this
seede
:
but
also
of
the
persecution
of
Sathan
:
Euer
perswading
the
wicked
and
vngodly
,
which
are
his
seede
to
persecute
the
womans
seede
of
the
promisse
:
That
is
,
the
chosen
who
according
to
the
promisse
of
God
,
obtaine
victorie
by
faith
in
the
bloud
of
Christ
.
For
Sathan
intending
to
destroye
this
article
of
iustification
,
may
not
suffer
the
preaching
thereof
(
that
is
)
That
by
grace
through
faith
,
and
not
of
our
owne
rightuousnesse
,
and
workes
:
We
ar
made
safe
,
please
God
,
are
receaued
into
fauour
with
him
,
and
accepted
as
righteous
,
and
iust
,
not
of
our
merites
or
deseruinges
,
but
through
the
merits
of
Christ
Iesu
our
Sauiour
.
By
the
contrary
,
the
wicked
trusts
in
their
owne
strength
,
and
merites
.
And
will
haue
their
good
works
,
inuented
by
them selfe
,
without
the
commandement
of
god
,
a
part
of
their
saluation
.
And
who
will
not
authorise
the
same
,
they
persecute
of
deadly
hatred
,
and
must
needes
dye
as
Abell
did
.
So
let
Abell
dye
and
Cain
liue
,
that
is
our
law
,
sayeth
the
vngodly
.
In
the
Church
of
the
Iewes
,
our
saide
aduersarie
ceased
not
to
impung
this
article
,
and
perswade
the
wicked
to
persecute
the
godly
,
and
kill
the
prophets
,
for
preaching
the
same
,
for
defence
of
the
which
Ieremie
the
Prophet
resisted
the
hole
Ecclesiastical
power
&
authoritie
of
the
Church
of
the
Iewes
:
that
is
,
the
multitude
of
the
wicked
,
being
a
few
number
of
the
chosen
,
that
assisted
to
him
as
yee
may
reade
Ieremie
the
26
Chap.
Not
the
les
afterward
hee
was
stoned
to
death
for
the
same
cause
,
which
is
the
reward
of
man
that
is
which
man
giueth
for
the
true
preaching
of
this
article
.
So
let
Abell
dye
,
and
Cain
liue
.
Finally
,
the
persecution
of
sathan
our
aduersary
perswaded
the
death
of
christ
,
his
Apostles
,
and
martyres
,
and
their
true
successours
,
all
for
this
article
.
But
euer
Christ
got
victorie
and
triumphed
by
his
word
only
.
In
so
much
as
he
got
victorie
of
the
deuill
,
hell
,
and
death
,
of
the
lawe
,
sinne
,
the
world
,
and
the
fleshe
,
through
his
death
and
resurrection
,
So
by
faith
in
his
bloud
al
the
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
martyres
,
&
confessors
,
with
their
bloud
haue
watered
the
Church
,
and
haue
left
a
sure
testimonie
to
vs
:
for
confirmation
of
this
article
,
that
in
the
bloud
of
christ
and
not
in
their
owne
bloud
,
workes
,
or
deedes
,
they
are
made
safe
,
and
haue
gotten
,
the
realme
of
heauen
,
conquest
and
purchased
to
them
by
Christ
,
and
not
by
them selfes
,
nor
their
merites
.
The
which
confession
is
the
cause
that
the
godly
ar
euer
persecuted
by
the
wicked
.
So
let
Abell
dye
,
and
Cain
liue
,
that
is
our
lawe
.

NOw
our
aduersary
perceauing
by
the
death
of
Christ
that
the
promise
made
in
Paradise
,
was
fulfilled
:
and
his
head
troaden
down
,
that
is
his
power
&
strength
by
the
sheding
of
the
bloud
of
Christ
:
this
article
of
iustification
laid
so
abroad
,
&
the
church
of
christ
is
so
strongly
edged
with
the
same
,
that
all
his
imaginations
with
the
which
he
deceaued
mankind
,
had
no
place
to
peruert
the
perfite
faith
.
Then
inuented
he
a
new
maner
of
habite
,
which
hee
founde
in
the
same
church
amongst
the
slouthfull
ministers
:
whome
(
by
processe
of
time
seeing
them
idle
&
not
occupied
in
the
reading
,
teaching
,
and
preaching
of
the
scriptures
)
hee
prouoked
to
inuent
workes
of
their
own
conceite
.
And
also
to
abuse
the
holy
sacramentes
,
and
good
workes
of
God
with
vaine
superstitions
:
the
which
they
call
good
workes
.
And
by
this
meanes
he
hath
so
drawen
them
from
faith
,
that
they
knowe
not
what
the
same
is
,
nor
what
Christ
is
:
but
as
it
were
a
Theefe
hanged
vpon
a
gallous
or
gibbit
innocently
,
or
like
another
maner
of
prophane
history
of
Hector
,
or
of
the
great
Alexander
.
And
therefore
hath
prouoked
them
to
pursue
this
Article
more
cruelly
then
euer
it
was
pursued
from
the
beginning
of
the
worde
.
Them selfes
by
worde
confessinge
the
same
with
their
mouth
,
reading
,
singing
,
and
of
their
maner
,
dayly
teaching
,
and
preaching
the
same
.
And
yet
neuerthelesse
dayly
burning
,
killing
,
&
banishing
the
true
faithful
preachers
of
the
said
article
,
&
confessours
therof
.
And
so
euer
shall
Abell
dye
and
Cain
liue
,
that
is
our
lawe
,
say
they
.
Our
said
aduersarie
that
he
should
not
be
perceaued
,
hath
transformed
him selfe
in
to
an
Angell
of
light
Ye
shall
vnderstand
that
the
oft
repeating
of
the
death
of
Abell
and
the
life
of
Cain
is
no
vaine
storie
nor
purpose
,
but
the
true
similitude
of
the
Church
of
christ
,
which
first
watered
with
the
bloud
of
Abel
,
remaineth
example
to
this
houre
and
shal
to
the
seconde
comming
of
Christ
to
the
latter
iudgement

In
the
which
two
persons
is
set
forth

the
perfite
knowledge

the
Church

which
consistes
in
the
godly

vngodly
[

Which
shal
be
separate
when
the
Lord
shal
send
forth
his
angels
in
his
haruest

.
And
euer
the
perfite
and
iust
Churche
is
pursued
with
the
wicked
,
&
neuer
pursueth
,
by
which
the
disciples

because
the
Transgressours
of

are
punished
as

.
For
whome

,
as
Saint
Paule
sayeth
,
1.
Timoth.
the
first
Chap.
for
the
iust
needeth
no
law
.
These
morall
maners
and
discipline
,
is
the
most
excellent
rayment
or
habite
,
wherewith
man
may
bee
cled
.
Neuerthelesse
,
they
can
not
make
a
man
iust
before
God
,
nor
is
not
the
Iustice
which
we
speak
of
here
in
this
treatise
.
The
Politike
or
Ciuill
Iustice
is
the
obedience
which
euery
Subiect
and
Inferiour
estate
of
man
,
giueth
to
their
prince
,
and
Superiour
,
in
all
the
worlde
.
The
which
proceedeth
of
the
lawe
of
nature
,
and
is
a
good
worke
,
without
the
which
obedience
(
to
the
punishment
of
the
wicked
,
and
defence
of
the
iust
)
no
common
weale
might
bee
conserued
and
kept
in
rule
and
order
,
but
all
would
run
to
confusion
.
Therefore
are
Princes
and
higher
powers
commanded
of
God
to
be
obeyed
,
The
Ceremoniall
Iustice
,
is
the
obedience
and
fulfilling
of
the
Statutes
,
ordinances
,
and
traditions
of
man
,
made
by
the
bishop
of
Rome
,
and
other
bishops
,
Counsels
,
Schoolemaisters
,
and
Householders
,
for
good
rule
,
and
order
,
and
maners
,
to
bee
kept
in
the
church
,
schooles
,
and
families
.
This
is
a
good
work
and
necessarie
to
be
had
with
these
conditions
The
Iustice
of
the
law
morall
or
Moy.
law
,
which
is
the
law
of
God
,
exceedeth
&
is
far
aboue
the
other
two
iustices
.
It
is
the
perfite
obedience
required
of
man
,
according
to
all
the
works
and
deeds
of
the
same
.
Not
only
in
externall
and
outward
deed
,
but
also
with
the
inward
affections
and
motions
of
the
hart
,
Moyses
,
ioyned
together
in
a
knot
,
which
is
a
doctrine
,
teaching
all
men
a
perfite
rule
,
to
know
what
he
should
do
:
and
what
he
should
leaue
vndone
,
both
to
god
and
his
neighbour
.
The
Iustice
of
the
lawe
,
is
to
fulfill
the
law
:
That
is
,
to
doo
the
perfite
workes
,
of
the
lawe
as
they
are
required
from
the
bottome
of
the
hart
.
For
the
probation
hereof
,
wee
will
showe
the
aucthorities
of
the
Scripture
from
the
beginning
:
how
the
most
holy
fathers
were
transgressours
of
the
law
.
And
therefore
could
neuer
be
made
righteous
by
the
same
:
and
if
they
which
were
most
holy
,
could
not
be
found
iust
by
the
deeds
of
the
law
:
much
lesse
may
the
wicked
be
pronounced
iust
by
the
same
.
Therefore
,
wee
must
take
this
conclusion
with
the
Apostle
S.
Paule
.
All
haue
sinned
,
&
haue
neede
,
or
are
destitute
,
of
the
glorye
of
God
[
*
](A03284-e6480-b)

That
is
by
originall
sinne
all
man
is
becomme
blind
and
is
fallen
from
that
Image
of
God
(
which
was
integritie
of
nature
,
iustice
,
and
righteousnes
)
in
which
man
was
first
created
and
now
is

the
contrarie

And

in
the

.
Adam
,
first
in
the
paradise
,
transgressed
the
law
:
and
therefore
the
same
accused
him
,
and
condempned
him
,
and
all
his
posteritie
,
as
rebels
and
transgressours
of
the
same
,
to
the
death
.
Neuertheles
,
the
law
remaineth
still
holy
,
iust
,
and
good
,
requiring
the
same
holynesse
,
Iustice
,
and
goodnesse
of
vs
,
as
testified
S.
P.
Roma
.

,
And
because
wee
doo
not
the
same
,
the
lawe
euer
accused
vs
,
and
pronounced
vs
rebelles
,
and
transgressours
,
as
our
forefather
Adam
was
.
Who
might
neuer
be
pronounced
iust
by
the
law
,
becaus
of
the
deeds
of
the
law
,
no
flesh
shal
be
made
iust
before
god
:
&
seeing
all
men
gotten
by
naturall
propagation
hath
descended
of
Adam
:
he
is
corrupted
and
rebel
to
the
law
as
Adam
was
.
For
he
might
get
no
better
sonnes
,
nor
his
nature
was
.
This
corruption
is
so
infixt
in
the
nature
of
man
,
that
hee
is
neuer
cleane
purged
thereof
,
so
long
as
this
mortall
body
of
sin
,
&
the
spirit
remaineth
together
:
and
this
is
the
cause
why
wee
fulfill
not
the
lawe
,
in
the
pure
and
cleane
forme
as
the
same
requireth
the
deedes
thereof
to
be
done
.
For
this
cause
S.P.
sayeth
:
Nowe
I
worke
not
this
euill
,
This
corruption
of
nature
,
Adam
,
in
all
men
,
that
the
nature
of
man
may
not
truely
obey
the
lawe
of
god
,
nor
fulfill
the
same
for
the
inherent
faultes
,
and
concupiscence
in
the
hart
of
man
:
engendred
of
this
corrupted
nature
,
&
so
can
not
be
pronounced
iust
by
the
lawe
,
because
of
the
deedes
of
the
law
,
no
flesh
shal
be
made
iust
before
god
.
From
Adam

all
were
sinners

Transgressours

as
testifieth
the
whole

Therfore
,
the
iustice

not

repented
sore
the
said
offence
,
&
prayed
feruently
that
he
might
enter
into
the
land
of
promis
:
he
was
not
hard
:
for
god
would
not
alter
his
sentence
,
as
yee
may
collect
of
the
saying
of
Moyses
,
Deut.
3.
Chap.
where
god
saith
to
him
:
speak
no
more
to
me
of
that
matter
,
thou
shalt
not
passe
ouer
the
water
of
Iordane
.
Here
ye
may
see
that
man
can
finde
no
iustice
in
the
lawe
,
which
is
of
value
before
God
.
Iob
,
who
was
commended
by
the
mouth
of
god
,
the
most
iust
in
earth
,
could
finde
no
iustice
in
the
law
:
for
howbeit
he
was
innocent
in
the
sight
of
man
:
hee
might
not
enter
in
iudgement
with
god
,
becaus
the
iustice
of
man
,
is
nothing
before
god
,
as
ye
may
reade
in
his
booke
,
Iob.
vltio
.
And
so
by
faith
in
the
promised
seed
was
receaued
in
the
fauour
of
God
,
&
accepted
as
righteous
,
the
which
is
the
iustice
,
that
is
of
value
before
god
.
Dauid
,
the
figure
of
Christ
,
of
whome
god
speaketh
(
saying
)
I
haue
found
a
man
according
to
my
hartes
desire
,
S.
August
.
expounding
the
said
verse
,
saith
:
There
is
no
man
liuing
vpon

,
And
S.
Bernard
,
in
the
sermon
which
he
maketh
&
writs
in
the
day
of
all
Saintes
,
S.
Bernard
.
speaketh
after
this
maner
:
but
what
may
all
our
iustice
be
before
god
:
shal
it
not
be
reputed
or
esteemed
,
like
vnto
the
menstrous
cloth
of
a
woman
,
according
to
the
saying
of
the
prophete
:
and
if
it
be
sharply
accused
,
all
our
iustice
shal
be
found
vnrighteousnes
:
what
then
shal
be
our
sins
,
when
our
iustice
may
not
answere
for
the
selfe
.
Therefore
,
let
vs
cry
with
the
prophete
:
enter
not
in
iudgement
with
thy
seruant
(
O
lord
)
and
with
all
humility
run
to
the
mercy
of
God
:
which
onely
may
saue
our
soules
.
Here
ye
may
clearely
vnderstand
,
by
the
holy
fathers
,
saying
that
they
vnderstoode
the
scriptures
,
and
article
of
iustification
,
as
we
do
,
finding
no
righteousnes
in
the
law
:
but
only
through
faith
in
the
mercy
of
god
.
The
saide
Prophete
saith
,
if
thou
(
O
lord
)
shall
keepe
our
iniquities
,
and
laye
vp
our
sins
in

,
O
Lord

who
shall

these
words

saith
:
the

said
not
:
I

But

NOw
sithens
our
forefathers
,
which
liued
most
iust
,
could
not
be
made
iust
in
the
deedes
of
the
lawe
,
or
in
no
law
could
finde
this
iustice
,
by
the
which
a
wicked
man
is
made
iust
:
of
necessitie
we
are
compelled
to
seeke
the
iustice
of
a
christian
man
,
without
all
lawe
or
workes
of
the
lawe
:
And
of
another
then
our self
,
which
is
iust
,
and
innocent
,
that
no
law
may
or
can
accuse
:
&
through
his
iustice
we
must
be
maid
iust
:
for
of
our selfes
,
we
are
not
iust
.
Nor
no
man
as
the
prophet
saith
,
the
13.
Psalme
.
And
the
Apost.
Ro.
3.
cha.
All
men
haue
left
god
,
and
altogether
are
becom
vnprofitable
:
none
of
them
is
found
good
,
except
one
,
which
is
the
man
Christ
Iesu
,
the
only
begotten
sonne
of
god
:
by
whom
and
by
his
merits
through
faith
in
his
bloud
,
we
are
all
receaued
into
the
fauour
,
grace
,
and
mercy
,
of
God
the
father
,
accepted
as
righteous
and
iust
,
without
all
our
merites
or
deseruinges
,
to
the
euerlasting
life
.
This
is
the
iustice
of
a
christian
which
at
length
shal
be
declared
(
with
gods
grace
)
hereafter
.
Here
the
aduersaries
will
moue
three
questions
,
to
se
if
they
may
impung
the
trueth
.
The
first
is
:
wherfore
gaue
god
the
law
to
man
,
But
first
yee
shall
note
and
keepe
well
in
memorie
,
Eue
,
in
Paradise
,
saying
.
Wherefore
hath
god
commanded
you
that
ye
should
not
eat
of
all
the
trees
in
the
paradise
▪
thus
he
perswaded
the
woman
to
giue
him
answere
,
of
the
cause
not
perteining
her
to
know
:
&
so
brought
her
to
confusion
:
Euen
so
doth
the
vngodly
,
&
sonns
of
the
deuil
inquiring
at
God
the
causes
of
his
secret
iudgements
,
as
wherefore
hath
god
chosen
one
:
and
reiected
another
,
with
other
such
vnprofitable
questions
,
of
the
predestination
,
and
forescience
of
God
.
But
in
all
such
matters
which
are
aboue
,
our
capacitie
and
reason
:
let
vs
saye
with
the
Apost.
O
highnes
,
o
deepenes
,
o
profoundnes
,
of
the
riches
,
Herefore
my
well
beloued
bretheren
,
inquire
ye
nothing
of
the
workes
of
god
:
Hector
,
Alexander
,
or
other
gentill
histories
.
Nor
yet
as
the
manly
science
of
Plato
,
Aristotle
,
the
bishop
of
Romes
lawe
,
or
others
,
which
are
but
the
science
of
men
,
and
may
be
iudged
by
the
reason
of
man
:
but
with
an
humble
hart
,
submit
you
to
god
and
his
holy
spirit
,
who
is
Schoolemaister
of
his
scriptures
:
and
will
teache
you
all
veritie
necessarie
for
your
saluation
,
according
to
the
promisse
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Saint
Peter
saith
in
his
second
Epist.
the
1.
chap.
Therefore
think
the
scriptures
not
difficil
:
but
to
the
fleshly
man
,
which
shal
get
no
vnderstanding
thereof
.
They
deceaue
you
which
say
,
the
scriptures
ar
difficil
,
no
man
can
vnderstand
them
:
but
great
clearkes
.
Verily
,
whome
they
call
their
clearkes
,
knowe
not
what
the
scriptures
meane
:
feare
,
nor
dread
not
to
reade
the
scriptures
,
as
yee
are
taught
here
before
.
And
seeke
nothing
in
them
but
your
own
saluation
:
and
that
which
is
necessarie
for
you
to
knowe
.
And
so
the
holy
spirit
your
teacher
shall
not
suffer
you
to
erre
,
nor
go
beside
the
right
waye
:
but
lead
you
in
all
veritie
.
And
so
will
we
passe
forward
to
the
question
before
rehearsed
.
Wherefore
god
gaue
the
law
as
we
are
taught
by
his
scriptures
.
THE
XIIII
.
CHAP.
1
An
introduction
to
answere
the
first
question
of
the
wicked
.
2
To
what
creatures
god
gaue
law
,
and
why
he
gaue
the
law
to
man
.

Of
Adams
gifts
before
his
fall
,
hath
no
man
experience
.
4
The
law
giuen
to
Moyses
,
and
why
man
may
not
fulfill
the
law
.
THere
can
nothing
be
perfitly
vnderstand
without
the
ground
,
and
foundation
be
sought
&
knowen
.
So
for
the
true
knowledge
of
this
question
,
ye
must
begin
at
god
,
and
know
him
,
as
he
hath
commanded
in
his
scriptures
:
and
seeke
him
no
other
wayes
,
and
by
him
yee
shall
get
knowledge
of
your selfe
.
God
being
without
beginning
,
as
he
is
without
ending
:
in
the
beginning
made
all
creatures
perfite
,
right
,
and
good
:
and
last
of
all
men
,
to
his
owne
image
and
similitude
,
male
,
&
female
,
hee
made
them
:
whom
he
indued
and
cled
,
with
most
excellent
gifts
of
nature
,
and
godly
vertues
,
with
originall
iustice
,
full
integritie
,
the
law
of
nature
imprented
in
his
hart
,
with
power
to
do
the
same
of
his
own
freewil
.
And
put
him
in
the
paradise
of
pleasure
,
that
he
should
labour
,
&
kepe
the
same
,
with
commandement
to
eate
of
the
fruites
of
al
the
trees
of
paradise
:
and
forbad
him
to
eate
of
the
fruites
of
the
trie
of
knowledge
of
good
and
euill
,
standing
in
the
middes
of
the
Paradise
:
Adioyning
the
paine
if
he
transgressed
this
commandement
,
&
.
2.
saying
,
whatsoeuer
day
thou
eatest
of
the
same
,
thou
shalt
dye
the
death
.
Not
only
gaue
god
a
lawe
to
man
,
but
also
to
beast
,
Sunne
,
Moone
,
Elementes
,
and
all
his
Creatures
in
their
kindes
,
the
which
they
should
not
transgresse
nor
ouerpasse
.
That
in
his
creatures
hee
might
be
glorified
,
and
haue
obedience
of
them
:
to
that
effect
hee
made
them
,
and
gaue
them
the
lawe
.
This
exposition
yee
shall
finde
in
the
148.
psal.
Where
the
prophet
exhorts
all
creatures
animate
,
and
inanimate
,
to
preach
and
forth
show
,
the
glorie
of
god
,
because
he
said
the
word
,
&
they
were
made
and
gaue
commandement
,
&
they
were
created
.
So
the
law
was
giuen
to
man
,
to
the
effect
he
should
knowe
his
Maker
,
glorifie
him
,
and
obeye
him
:
for
obedience
is
the
fulfilling
of
the
law
[
*
](A03284-e7770-b)
*
The
cause
why
God
gaue
the
law
to
man
.
.
To
obeye
god
,
is
to
loue
God
,
with
all
thy
hart
,
Adam
,
who
had
free
will
,
and
power
,
of
himself
to
do
the
same
.
For
God
made
man
in
the
beginning
,
and
left
him
in
the
power
of
his
owne
counsell
,
hee
gaue
to
him
his
preceptes
,
and
commandements
(
saying
)
if
thou
wilt
keepe
the
commandementes
,
they
will
keepe
thee
,
&c.
Hee
put
before
him
fire
and
water
,
that
hee
might
put
his
hand
,
The
perfection
of
Adam
,
and
knowledge
of
the
law
,
the
rightuousnesse
,
and
integritie
of
him
,
in
his
creation
,
with
the
excellent
gifts
and
godly
vertues
he
was
indued
with
,
are
vnspeakeable
as
saith
Ecclesiasticus
,
the
17.
Chapter
God
created
man
of
the
earth
,
and
made
him
after
his
owne
Image
,
and
similitude
,
turned
and
conuerted
him
againe
in
the
same
.
And
cled
him
with
vertues
according
to
himself
,
&c.
Read
the
whole
Chap.
which
will
instruct
you
of
these
noble
vertues
,
and
qualities
of
Adam
.
What
might
hee
want
,
being
perticipant
in
vertues
to
the
godly
nature
:
nothing
at
all
:
and
so
all
the
workes
of
god
were
made
perfite
:
The
law
of
Moyses
of
the
two
Tables
was
but
a
vttering
and
declaration
of
the
law
of
nature
.
And
that
proues
the
sayinges
of
Christ
:
For
when
he
had
made
a
long
sermon
,
teaching
his
disciples
,
and
the
people
,
the
perfection
of
the
lawe
of
Moys.
as
ye
may
read
the
5.6
.
&
7.
Chap.
of
S.
Math.
concludes
on
this
maner
.
All
things
whatsoeuer
ye
wil
men
do
to
you
,
doo
ye
the
same
to
them
:
For
this
is
the
law
and
prophetes
.
Here
ye
see
the
law
and
all
the
preaching
of
the
Prophetes
ioyned
in
a
knot
to
the
Lawe
of
nature
,
which
teacheth
vs
what
we
should
doo
,
and
what
we
should
leaue
vndone
.
This
lawe
was
perfitly
prented
in
the
hart
of
Adam
,
who
wanted
no
perfection
to
fulfill
,
obserue
,
and
keepe
the
same
,
to
the
vttermost
perfection
thereof
.
For
transgression
of
the
commandement
of
god
,
our
forefather
Adam
was
exiled
,
&
banished
forth
of
paradise
:
and
spoiled
of
the
integritie
,
perfection
,
and
all
the
excellent
qualities
,
dignities
,
and
godlie
vertues
,
with
the
which
he
was
indued
by
his
creation
,
made
rebell
,
and
disobedient
to
God
in
his
owne
default
[
*
](A03284-e8000-b)
*
Why
man
may
not
fulfill
the
lawe
.
.
And
therefore
hee
might
not
fulfill
the
law
to
the
perfection
as
the
same
required
.
For
the
lawe
remaining
in
the
owne
perfection
,
Iust
,
holye
,
and
good
,
requireth
▪
and
asketh
the
same
of
man
,
to
be
in
deed
fulfilled
.
But
all
men
proceeding
from
Adam
,
by
naturall
propagation
,
haue
the
same
imperfection
,
that
hee
had
.
The
which
corruption
of
nature
resisteth
the
will
and
goodnes
of
the
law
,
which
is
the
cause
that
wee
fulfill
not
the
same
,
nor
may
not
of
our
power
&
strength
,
through
the
infirmitie
and
weakenes
of
our
flesh
:
which
is
enemie
to
the
spirit
,
O
miserable
man
accuse
not
God
,
but
thy selfe
,
because
thou
fulfillest
not
the
lawe
:
For
howbeit
(
thou
)
in
thy
default
fell
from
thy
goodnes
,
and
perfection
of
nature
(
by
the
which
of
thy
own
friewill
and
power
,
thou
might
haue

Men
may
work
outwarde
workes
of
the
law
.
by
the
which
of
our
free
will
and
power
,
we
may
do
the
outward
deedes
of
the
law
,
as
is
before
written
.
This
knowledge
deceaued
and
beguiled
the
Philosophers
:
for
they
looke
but
to
the
reason
and
iudgement
of
man
:
and
could
not
perceaue
the
inward
corruption
of
nature
:
but
euer
supponed
man
to
bee
cleane
,
Yee
shall
not
meruell
of
the
oft
rehearsinge
of
these
wordes
,
that
of
the
deedes
of
the
law
,
no
fleshe
shal
be
made
iust
:
that
is
declared
,
reputed
,
found
,
or
pronounced
iust
before
god
:
for
they
are
rehearsed
before
the
forthsetting
of
the
article
of
iustification
,
that
it
may
seeme
the
more
cleare
,
and
to
that
effect
the
same
wordes
were
spoken
by
the
Apostle
Rom.
the
third
Chapter
.
Of
this
maner
,
we
know
what
euer
the
lawe
speaketh
:
to
them
it
speaketh
,
whiche
are
in
the
lawe
,
that
all
mouthes
may
bee
stopped
,
and
all
the
worlde
made
subiect
vnto
god
,
because
by
the
deedes
of
the
law
,
no
fleshe
shal
bee
made
iust
before
him
.
And
therefore
I
haue
repeated
them
so
oft
,
because
they
lead
all
men
to
the
perfite
knowledge
of
their
iustification
which
is
in
Christ
.
This
proposition
of
the
holy
spirite
is
so
perfite
,
that
it
excludeth
(
if
ye
will
vnderstande
the
same
right
)
all
the
vaine
foolish
arguments
of
sophistrie
,
made
by
the
iustifiers
of
them selfes
,
which
peruerte
the
wordes
of
S.
Paule
(
as
they
doo
the
other
scriptures
of
god
)
to
their
peruersed
sence
and
mind
(
saying
)
that
the
Apostle
excludeth
by
these
wordes
the
workes
of
the
law
Ceremoniall
:
and
not
the
deeds
of
the
law
of
nature
,
&
morall
law
of
Moyses
.
The
which
shameles
sayings
,
are
expresly
euacuat
by
the
wordes
of
the
Apost.
Insomuch
that
no
man
of
righteous
iudgement
can
denye
:
but
shall
feele
the
same
as
it
were
in
their
hands
:
by
this
probation
,
the
law
speaketh
to
all
,
that
is
accuseth
all
men
,
that
are
vnder
the
law

Argumente
against
Sophistes
.
All
men
are
vnder
the
law
of
nature
,
or
the
law
of
Moys.
Therefore
the
Apost.
speaketh
of
the
law
of
nature
&
Moy.
and
of
all
men
which
he
comprehendeth
vnder
Iewe
&
gentill
,
as
he
proueth
by
his
argumentes
in
the
first
and
second
Chap.
to
the
Roma
.
And
concludeth
in
the
third
Cha.
all
men
are
sinners
.
If
all
men
bee
sinners
:
none
is
iust
.
If
none
bee
iust
,
none
fulfill
the
lawe
.
If
none
fulfill
the
lawe
,
the
lawe
can
pronounce
none
iust
.
Therefore
concludeth
he
that
of
the
deedes
of
the
law
,
no
flesh
shal
be
founde
iust
before
God
.
The
same
is
proued
by
Dauid
in
the
13.
Psalme
.
Here
ye
see
by
the
words
of
the
Apostle
,
he
intendes
to
proue
and
declare

Argument
.
all
men
Sinners
.
That
is
,
to
stoppe
all
mens
mouths
:
and
to
dryue
them
to
Christ
,
by
the
accusation
of
the
law
.
No
law
may
make
or
declare
all
men
sinners
:
and
subdue
the
whole
world
to
God
:
but
the
law
of
nature
and
Moyses
.
Therefore
,
vnder
that
word
(
law
)
the
Apost.
comprehended
the
law
morall
,
and
not
the
law
Ceremonial
only
.
Becaus
it
followeth
in
the
text
.
The
knowledge
of
sinne
,
is
by
the
lawe
.
And
also
I
knewe
not
sinne
(
sayth
S.P.
)
but
by
the
lawe
:
S.
P.

If
yee
will
saye
of
your
vaine
conceate
(
as
ye
which

)
that
the
Apostle
in
his
conclusion
comprehendeth
not
all
men
,
proceeding
from
Adam
by
naturall
propagation
:
but
that
some
iust
men
are
excepted

Ye
shall
not
finde
that
exception
in

of
any
man

Who
beeing

THE
XVI

CHAP.
1
The
diuersitie
of
names
of
that
iustice
which
is
acceptable
before
God
.
2
Iustice
is
plainly
reueled
in
the
euangell
.
3
What
is
to
liue
in
faith
,
or
by
faith
.
THe
iustice
whereof
we
haue
made
mention
in
the
beginning
:
and
that
is
so
cruelly
and
tyranously
persecuted
by
our
aduersarie
Sathan
,
And
first
it
is
called
the
iustice
of
god
,
because
it
proceedeth
only
of
the
mercy
of
God
,
Secondly
,
the
iustice
of
faith
,
because
faith
is
the
instrument
whereby
in
Christ
we
obteine
the
mercy
of
God
,
freely
giuen
to
vs
for
Christes
sake
.
And
thirdly
,
it
is
called
ours
,
because
by
faith
in
Christ
without
all
our
deseruinges
,
wee
receaue
the
same
:
and
are
made
,
reputed
,
and
compted
iust
,
and
accepted
in
to
the
fauour
of
god
.
And
all
three
ar
one
Iustice
,
deuided
by
sundrie
names
,
as
is
before
saide
,
which
is
this
article
of
iustification
.
As
by
example
:
almes
deede
is
but
one
name
.
And
yet
after
the
common
maner
of
speaking
it
is
appropriat
truely
to
three
:
that
is
to
the
Giuer
,
to
God
,
and
to
the
Receauer
.
In
almes
,
the
poore
,
and
indigent
,
haue
no
part
but
only
to
receaue
,
and
giue
thankes
.
The
giuer
freely
giueth
of
his
liberalitie
&
substance
,
and
for
gods
sake
.
So
it
is
properly
called
the
almes
of
the
giuer
,
and
iustly
attribute
vnto
god
,
becaus
for
his
sake
it
is
giuen
.
And
also
to
the
receauer
becaus
he
is
made
rich
therewith
.
In
the
like
maner
this
iustice
of
God
proceedeth
of
his
aboundant
mercy
and
grace
,
fauour
,
and
goodnes
,
which
hee
beareth
toward
man
kind
,
that
is
poore
(
yea
)
aboue
all
pouertie
,
laden
with
sinne
,
hauing
neede
of
the
grace
and
mercy
of
God
:
destitute
of
all
confort
and
consolation
.
And
therefore
is
called
his
iustice
,
by
reason
of
the
giuing
.
And
it
is
called
the
iustice
of
faith
,
or
the
iustice
of
Christ
:
because
faith
is
the
instrument
,
and
Christ
the
Purchaser
of
the
same
.
And
it
is
called
ours
by
reason
of
participation
of
all
christes
merits
:
which
we
haue
through
faith
in
his
blud
without
our
merites
or
deseruinges
.
Therefore
euen
as
the
sickman
receaueth
his
health
:
It
is
called
the
iustice
of
God
and
not
of
man
or
of
free
wil
:
but
of
God
,
not
that
Iustice
by
the
which
God
is
iust
:
but
the
Iustice
with
the
which
man
is
cledd
,
and
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
of
wicked
made
iust
,
as
Saint
Augustine
saith
,
in
his
booke
of
the
spirite
,
and
the
Letter
the
20.
Chap.
in
obteining
of
the
which
we
neither
worke
nor
giue
anything
to
god
:
but
receaueth
,
and
suffers
god
to
worke
in
vs
.
Therefore
,
it
is
farre
aboue
all
iustice
of
the
law
,
which
man
doth
,
and
worketh
,
the
which
are
also
the
works
of
god
,
both
,
becaus
they
are
of
the
law
:
and
man
may
do
them
of
his
own
free
will
,
&
power
,
as
to
the
externall
work
.
And
also
they
are
the
gift
of
god
.
But
alwayes
they
may
haue
no
place
in
this
Article
of
iustification
before
god
,
except
yee
will
exclude
the
merites
of
Christ
(
whiche
GOD
forbid
.
)
This
Iustice
was
couered
in
the
olde
testament
vnder
Ceremonies
,
and
sacrifices
,
but
is
made
knowen
and
patent
vnto
vs
now
,
by
the
Euangell
of
Iesu
christ
from
faith
to
faith
:
This
is
the
faith
of
the
which
the
Prophete
Habac.
speaketh
,
the
Iust
shall
liue
by
his
faith
.
The
iust
man
and
faithfull
hath
neuer
respect
to
any
thing
,
but
only
to
faith
in
christ
:
And
what
euer
he
work
or
do
,
referreth
all
to
Christ
:
&
so
remaineth
he
in
Christ
,
and
Christ
in
him
conforme
to
the
saying
of
S.
P.
I
liue
now
(
no
not
I
)
but
Christ
liueth
in
me

faith
is
the
substance
of
thinges

or
looked
for
:
The
Argument
or
matter
of
thinges
not
seene
,
In
this
faith
only
in
Christ
were
all
the
Fathers
to
the
comming
of
Christ
in
the
fleshe
made
iust
without

The
faith
of
the
fathers
before
the
incarnation
of
Christ
.
And
therefore
all
the
promisses
of
the
comming
of
Christ
,
are
to
bee
referred
to
that
promise
made
in
Gen.
the
3.
Chap.
that
the
seede
of
the
woman
shall
treade
downe
the
serpents
head
,
&c.
And
so
the
faith
of
the
Fathers
in
the
old
testament
,
and
our
faith
in
the
newe
testament
,
was
and
is
one
thing
:
howbeit
,
they
had
other
externall
rites
,
obiectes
,
ceremonies
,
and
signes
,
then
we
haue
.
And
they
beleeued
in
the
comming
of
Christ
,
to
fulfill
all
promisses
and
prophesies
spoken
of
him
.
And
we
beleeue
he
is
come
already
,
and
hath
fulfilled
al
which
was
spoken
of
him
,
in
the
law
and
Prophets
.
And
hath
ascended
to
the
heauines
,
&
sitteth
,
at
the
right
hande
of
the
father
,
our
aduocate
.
And
as
the
Fathers
beleeued
the
first
comming
of
Christ
,
euer
desiring
and
looking
for
the
same
by
faith
:
Euen
so
now
wee
beleeue
,
and
looke
for
his
second
comming
.
And
most
feruently
desire
the
same
,
to
bee
deliuered
of
this
mortall
bodye
of
sinne
,
that
wee
may
rule
eternally
with
him
in
glory
.
S.
Peter
.
S.
Pet.
testifieth
(
saying
)
wherfore
now
tempt
ye
god
,
to
put
a
yoke
vpon
the
neckes
of
the
disciples
the
which
neither
wee
,
nor
our
Fathers
might
beare
:
but
by
the
mercy
of
Iesus
Christ
,
we
beleeue
to
be
made
safe
,
as
they
were
.
And
S.
August
.
in
the
157.
Epist.
saith
:
Therefore
if
the
fathers
(
being
vnable
to
beare
the
yoke
of
the
old
lawe
)
beleeued
them
to
be
made
safe
,
by
the
mercy
of
our
lord
Iesu
Christ
:
It
is
manifest
that
the
same
mercy
,
or
grace
,
made
the
old
fathers
to
liue
iust
by
faith
.
Now
ye
may
see
clearely
that
the
old
fathers
were
all
made
safe
,
through
the
mercy
of
God
,
without
all
the
deedes
of
the
law
.
Then
how
will
you
make
your selfe
safe
with
workes
:
which
neuer
did
so
good
workes
,
as
the
fathers
.
So
there
can
bee
no
better
conclusion
to
exclude
your
workes
,
in
the
article
of
iustification
:
then
S.
P.
maketh
(
saying
)
that
a
man
is
made
iust
by
faith
,
Abell
,
by
faith
or
in
faith
offered
to
god
a
more
acceptable
sacrifice
,
then
Cain
did
,
by
the
which
hee
obteined
witnesse
that
hee
was
iust
:
god
bearing
witnesse
of
the
offerings
:
[
*
](A03284-e9310-b)
*
The
man
is
first
iust
before
the
workes
be
good
.
:
That
is
,
the
man
is
first
made
iust
by
faith
:
And
accepted
in
the
fauour
of
God
(
as
Abell
was
)
And
then
his
workes
are
acceptable
and
please
God
,
because
they
are
wrought
in
faith
.
That
it
is
the
mind
of
the
Apost.
S.
P.
to
exclude
all
workes
(
either
going
before
or
following
faith
)
to
bee
of
the
substance
of
the
Article
of
iustification
:
proued
clearely
the
arguments
and
matters
of
his
Epist.
Specially
to
the
Rom.
Galath
.
Hebre.
In
the
which
he
laboureth
so
diligently
,
that
all
the
Sophistes
and
workers
,
that
are
Iustifiers
of
themselfes
,
may
not
get
a
corner
to
hyde
them
into
,
from
his
conclusions
,
without
they
deny
Christ
and
his
office
.
At
the
least
in
effect
(
as
they
doo
after
their
maner
.
)
But
the
wisedome
of
god
and
his
holy
spirite
deceaueth
them
:
for
when
they
wrest
and
throwe
the
scriptures
,
to
their
minde
in
one
place
,
they
are
compelled
in
another
place
of
the

as
the
Apost.
sayth
:
Therefore
if
iustice
be
of
the
law
,
or
by
the
law
,
christs
death
is
in
vaine
.
But
thinke
not
that
I
intende
through
these
assertions
to
exclude
good
works
:
No
,
god
forbid
,
for
good
workes
are
the
gift
of
god
,
and
his
good
creatures
.
And
ought
and
should
be
done
of
a
christian
,
as
shal
be
showen
hereafter
at
length
in
their
place
.
But
in
this
article
of
iustification
,
yee
must
either
exclude
all
workes
,
or
els
exclude
Christ
from
you
,
and
make
your selfes
iust
:
the
which
is
impossible
to
do
,
because
we
are
wicked
and
can
do
no
good
at
all
,
which
can
be
of
value
before
God
,
or
pacifie
his
wrath
,
except
Christ
first
make
our
peace
.
For
that
is
his
office
S.
P.
Ro.
the
3.
Chap.
which
I
exhort
you
to
reade
:
consider
worde
by
worde
,
conceaue
,
and

The
iustice
of
god
is
,
by
the
faith
of
Iesu
Christ
,
In
all
,
and
vpon
all
,
which
beleeue
in
him
,
there
is
no
distinction
or
exception
.
All
haue
sinned
,
and
haue
need
(
or
are
destitute
)
of
the
glorie
of
god
:
But
they
are
made
iust
,
by
his
mercy
,
freely
without
the
workes
,
by
the
redemption
which
is
in
Christ
Iesu
:
whome
god
hath
proponed
or
layd
before
a
sacrifice
or
satisfaction
by
faith
in
his
bloud
:
to
the
forthshowing
of
his
iustice
,
for
remission
of
the
sinnes
by
past
:
the
which
god
hath
suffered
to
the
forthshowing
of
his
righteousnes
at
this
time
,
that
hee
may
be
iust
,
and
iustifie
him
,
which
is
of
the
faith
of
Iesu
Christ
.
Where
then
is
thy
glorie
or
vanting
?
it
is
excluded
by
what
law
of
works
?
No
,
but
by
the
law
of
faith
:
Therfore
we
beleeue
surely
a
man
to
be
made
iust
,
by
faith
without
the
deedes
of
the
law
.
Now
,
I
pray
you
tell
me
what
plainer
words
may
be
spoken
,
or
termes
inuented
to
exclude
all
our
works
,
merites
,
or
power
,
to
be
participant
with
god
in
this
article
of
iustification
.
They
are
as
plaine
and
cleare
as
the
sonne
in
midday
.
Neuerthelesse
because
the
wordes
are
so
pretious
,
and
necessarie
aboue
all
things
to
be
imprented
,
and
continually
keeped
,
in
the
hart
of
man
:
I
will
make
some
declaration
of
euery
part
,
and
particle
of
this
definition
.
And
proue
by
authoritie
of
scripture
,
this
iustice
of
god
(
by
the
which
a
man
is
made
iust
)
to
be
without
all
works
or
power
of
man
,
only
by
faith
in
the
mercy
of
god
.
Of
this
Iustice
,

speaketh
(
saying
)
lead
me
in
thy
iustice
,
Sometime
,
yee
shall
finde
in
Scripture
this
worde
iustice
,
ascribed
vnto
man
,
as
Dau.
saith
:
Saule
,
who
euer
accused
him
of
treason
:
and
vsurping
of
the
crowne
of
Israell
,
in
the
16.
Psal.
hee
saith
:
Heare
my
iustice
,
O
Lorde
,
and
giue
attendance
to
my
desire
and
prayers
.
Here
hee
calleth
his
iustice
,
his
petition
.
And
in
innumerable
places
of
scripture
,
yee
shall
finde
this
word
iustice
sometime
ascribed
to
god
:
&
sometime
to
man
,
It
followeth
in
the
definition
of
this
iustice
:
By
the
faith
of
Iesu
Christ
in
all
,
and
vpon
all
which
beleeueth
in
him
.
Here
ye
may
see
our
faith
,
that
we
beleue
in
Iesu
Christ
,
called
his
faith
,
as
it
is
in
deede
.
And
the
faith
also
of
god
,
and
by
the
same
reason
,
as
the
iustice
is
called
before
,
because
it
is
the
gift
of
God
,
as
S.
P.
saith

2.

the
instrument
by
the
which

obteine

remission
of
our
sinnes
S.
Luc.
thy
faith
hath
made
thee
safe
.
It
followeth
in
the
definition
:
there
is
no
distinction
nor
exception
,
all
hath
sinned
,
and
hath
neede
of
the
glorie
of
god
:
that
is
,
[

The

consider

which

do
no
other

may
haue
mercy
vpon
all
.

that
the

be
giuen
through
the
faith
of
Iesus
christ
to
all
which
beleeue
.
It
followeth
in
the
definition
,
but
they
are
made
iust
,
freely
,
by
the
grace
of
god
,
through
the
redemption
which
is
in
Iesu
Christ
.
Here
ye
see
the
Apost.
purposeth
to
exclude
all
your
merites
in
deseruing
of
this
iustice
.
To
the
effect
he
may
(
as
in
all
his
Epist.
and
labours
he
intended
)
set
foorth
the
glorie
of
god
:
and
the
benefite
of
christ
,
the
which
can
no
wise
be
highlier
setforth
,
then
in
the
making
of
a
wicked
man
,
iust
,
and
freely
:
that
is
,
for
nothing
:
and
without
deseruing
:
For
that
cause
Christ
is
made
to
vs
,
from
god
,
wisdome
,
iustice
,
holynes
,
and
redemption
:
that

ye
are

Here

this

Yee

For

That

Where
it
is

.
Thou
art
worthie
(
O
Lord
)
to
take
the
booke
,
and
open
the
seales
of
it
:
for
thou
art
slaine
&
hast
redeemed
vs
to

in
thy
bloud
,
hee
saith
not
in
our
workes
,
but
in
thy
bloud
.
It
followeth
whome
God
hath
layde
before
a
sacrifice
or
satisfaction
through
faith
in
his
bloud
,
to
the
forthshowing
of

to

,
that
he
may
be

and
iustifie
him
which
is
of
the
faith
of
Iesu
Christ
.
Here
the
apostle
aboundeth
in
wordes
:
to
exclude
all
sophistrie
and
vaine
conceate
of
workes
,
which
men
intende
,
and
would
intende
to
make
satisfaction
for
sinne
.
For
hee
setteth
forth
Christ
here
,
the
full
sacrifice
,
and
satisfaction
,
for
sinne
.
And
therefore
,
he
called
him
the
mediatour
of
the
new
testament
,
by
intercession
of
his
death
.
S.
Iohn
saith
,
if
any
shall
sinne
,
we
haue
an
aduocate
before
the
father
(
Iesus
Christ
)
who
is
iust
,
And
where
hee
saith
,
for
remission
of
sinnes
bypast
,
the
which
God
hath
suffered
,
&c.
Vnderstand
not
that
of
the
sinns
bypast
before
the
comming
of
Christ
onely
:
but
also
of
all
sinnes
committed
to
the
worldes
end
.
For
these
words
are
spoken
foorth
of
the
mouth
of
god
,
with
whome
all
things
is
present
,
as
yee
may

the
wordes
of
Christ
,
speaking
to
the
Iewes
on
this
maner
:
Before
Abraham
was
,
I
am
.
The
other
cause
is
to
exclude
their
opinion
which
think
that
Christ
satisfied
,
but
for
originall
sinne
onely
:
It
followeth
in
the
definition
where

by
what
lawe
is
it
excluded

of

No
,

by
the
law

and
concludeth

to
be

without

If

In

(

The
rewarde
is
not
impute
according
to

or

debt

But
to
him
which
worketh
not
:
that

,
confideth
not
in
his
own
merites
:
but
beleeueth
in

which
iustifieth

wicked
:
his

,
according

And
that

created

vnto
good
workes
,
the
which
god
hath
prepared
that
we
should
walke

Verily
,
these
wordes
are
worthy
to
be
written
in
letters
of
golde
:
and
euer
imprented
in
the
hart
of

,
because
they
conteine
the

of

of
Christ
.
And
also
exclude
all
the
vaine
sophisticall
argumentes
made
contrarie
this
article
of
iustification
,
because
in
this
Epistle
there
is
no
question
of
the
law
(
as
in
the
Epist
,
to
the
Rom.
and
Galath
)
But
it
is
written
to
the
gentiles
being
confirmed
in
the
faith
:
And
also
perseuering
thereunto
,
whome
the
Apostle
certifieth
of
their
iustification
in
the
first
thre
Chap.
And
then
setteth
forth
to
the
end
of

the
workes
of
righteousnes
,
in
the
which
true
Christians
should
liue
,
according
to
their
vocation
,
vpon
the
which
wordes
I
will
make
some
short
declaration
,
according
to
the
scriptures
.
By
grace
ye
are
made
safe
:
That
is
,
by
the
grace
,
&
mercy
of
God
,
and
aboundant
loue
he
hath
to
mankinde
,
because
hee
hath
made
vs
,
Corinth
,
the
thirde
Chapter
,
and
Galath
.
the
third
Chapter
:
if
the
heritage
bee
of
the
lawe
,
then
it
is
not
of
the
promisse
:
but
by
the
promisse
god
gaue
it
to
Abraham
,
Ismaell
,
and
Esaw
,
which
were
the
eldest
Sonnes
,
who
succeeded
not
to
the
heritage
:
but
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
,
whiche
were
heires
of
the
promisse
,
succeeded
.
Wee
are
not
made
safe
through
workes
,
that
none
should
glorie
,
because
god
will
not
haue
vs
reioysing
in
our selues
in
any
parte
of
his
giftes
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
What
hast
thou
that

is

.
And
if
thou
will
be
the
withered
branche
,
that
is
,
wicked
&
bring
furth
no
fruite
,
thou
art
prepared
for
the
fire
,
there
to
serue
with
the
Deuill
,
He
that
wil
glorie
,
let
him
glorie
in
the
lord
&c.
This
glory
of
works
is
excluded
by
the
law
of
faith
:
of
the
which
law
the
Apost.
maketh
mention
(
saying
)
The
law
of
the
spirite
of
life
in
Christ
Iesu
,
hath
delyuered
me
from
the
law
of
sinne
&
death
.
That
is
,
the
mercy
of
god
,
the
gift
of
the
holy
spirit
,
remission
of
sinnes
,
&
euerlasting
life
purchased
to
vs
through
faith
in
Christ
▪
by
the
which
we
liue
in
ryghteousnes
,
free
from
sinne
,
&
death
:
&
so
it
is
caled
the
law
of
faith
which
excludeth
all
glory
of
works
:
because
we
receaue
and
giue
no
thing
but
glory
and
honour
vnto
god
which
is
the
sacrifice
of
praise
and
thankesgiuing
.
In
this
we
should
liue
in
righteousnes
&
worke
the
workes
of
god
,
&
not
become
thrall
again
to
sin
,
&
death
:
from
the
which
we
ar
freed
freely
without
our
merits
,
Therefore
let
vs
conclud
with
the
Apost.
&
establish
for
an
infallible
conclusion
man
to
be
made
iust
by
faith
,
Paule
.
without
the
deds
of
the
law
:
as
proue
the
Scriptures
before
rehearsed
,
and
by
the
example
of
Abra.
who
had
no
mixtion
of
works
in
his
iustification
.
The
which
we
must
affirme
to
be
trew
,
because
the
Scriptures
affirme
the
same
,
and
testifie
him
to
be
iustified
by
imputation
through
faith
:
because
hee
beleeued
god
:
and
gaue
sure
trust
to
his
promis
:
howbeit
the
same
appeared
not
possible
(
as
indeed
it
was
to
the
iudgment
of
man
.
)
Neuertheles
hee
doubted
not
in
his
faith
:
but
beleeued
hope
against
hope
The
most
excellent
work
amongst
the
Iewes
was
circumcision
:
which
was
giuen
to
Abra.
&
commanded
to
be
vsed
in
all
his
posteritie
:
Abraham
receaued
the
signe
of
Circumcision
:
the
seale
of
the
Iustice
of
faith
.
&c.
Therfore
this
work
made
him
not
iust
,
nor
yet
had
any
parte
of
his
iustification
.
Neuertheles
God
reahearsed
to
him
at
that
time
,
the
promisse
saying
,
Abraham
walke
before
me
,
and
be
perfite
:
and
I
shall
put
my
couenant
between
me
and
thee
:
&
shall
multiplie
thy
seede
exceedinglie
,
&
thou
shal
be
the
father
of
many
nations
.
Abraham
,
and
conferre
the
same
with
the
Scriptures
going
before
:
where
God
gaue
commaund
to
him
that
he
should
put
away
his
sonne
Ismael
:
For
the
seed
of
the
promis
should
be
fulfilled
in
Isaac
.
Because
thou
hast
done
this
thing
:
and
hast
not
spared
thy
onely
begotten
sonne
:
I
shall
blis
thee
,
and
multiply
thy
seede
as
the
starres
of
the
heauen
,
and
sand
of
the
sea
shore
:
because
thou
hast
obeyed
my
woice
and
charge
.
Heir
yee
see
and
find
the
promisse
repeated
again
,
which
was
made
to
him
long
before
.
But
it
is
not
saide
here
,
That
because
Abraham
did
this
worke
it
was
compted
to
him
for
righteousnes
:
but
that
hee
was
commended
by
the
mouth
of
god
,
for
his
obedience
and
perseuerance
in
faith
,
for
the
faithful
shuld
liue
by
faith
daylie
perseuering
,
&
increasing
day
by
day
more
&
more
perfite
,
which
is
from
faith
to
faith
:
giuing
euer
thanks
&
praise
vnto
god
:
and
obeying
his
command
.
S.
Augustine
,
saith
:
These
wordes
are
not
to
bee
vnderstande
so
,
that
a
man
receauing
the
faith
,
if
he
liue
afterwarde
wickedly
,
shal
be
called
iust
:
but
hee
is
made
iust
without
all
his
workes
,
that
he
may
liue
in
righteousnes
and
work
well
.
Christ
is
the
end
of
the
law
(
vnto
righteousnes
)
to
all
that
beleeue
:
that
is
,
christ
is
the
consummation
and
fulfilling
of
the
lawe
,
and
that
iustice
whiche
the
lawe
requireth
,
and
all
they
which
beleeue
in
him
,
are
iust
by
imputation
through
faith
.
And
for
his
sake
are
repute
and
accepted
as
iust
.
This
is
the
Iustice
of
faith
,
of
the
which
the
Apostle
speaketh
,
Rom.
the
10.
Chapter
:
Therefore
,
if
yee
wil
bee
iust
,
seeke
Christ
,
and
not
the
law
,
nor
your
inuented
workes
,
whiche
are
lesse
then
the
lawe
.
Let
him
bee
the
mark
whereat
ye
shoote
:
and
let
him
neuer
passe
foorth
of
your
harte
:
whereto

yee
that
thing
,
which
already
hath
taken
an
end
.
Is
it
not
written
in
the
euangell
of
S.
Luc.

16.

The

from
the
which

And
S.

saith
:
The

The
office
of
the
lawe
.
:
for
the
office
of
the
law
is
to
accuse
the
wicked
,
feare
them
,
and
condemne
them
,
as
transgressours
of
the
same
.
The
office
of
Christ
is
to
preache
mercy
,
remission
of
sinnes
,
freely
in
his
bloude
through
faith
,
giue
consolation
,
and
to
saue
sinners
:
for
hee
came
not
in
to
this
world
to
call
them
which
ar
iust
,
or
think
them selues
iust
,
The
office
of
Christ
,
Iohn
the
baptist
declareth
,
saying
,
behold
the
lambe
of
God
,
behold
him
,
which
taketh

God
send
not

that
he

accuse

condemne

or
iudge
the

:
but
that
the
world
should
be
made
safe
by
him

And
after
It
is
not
I
(
sayeth
Christ
to
the
Iewes
)
that
iudgeth
you
,
it
is
Moyses
which
accuseth
you
And
so
the
Scriptures
testifie
that
the
law
accuseth
,
and
Christ
saueth
.
He
sendeth
none

[

The
Law
rightly
considered
compelleth
us
to
seek
christ
but
rather
the
law
driueth
&
compelleth
man
to
seeke
Christ
,
If
yee
will
vnderstande
it
aright
.
The
woman
accused
of
adulterie
,
he
sent
her
not
to
the
law
:
Come
vnto
me
all
yee
which
labour
,
and
are
laden
with
sinne
,
and
I
shall
refresh
you
.
And
Peter
saith
,
there
is
no
saluation
but
in
Iesu
Christ
:
Therfore
sithens
no
other
may
saue
but
he
,
we
should
put
all
our
trust
,
&
hope
in
him
,
and
in
his

only

and
neither
in

for
to
all
them
which
thinke
they
may
bee
safe
by
workes
,
or

Christes
death
is
in
vaine
:
or
if
there
had
beene
giuen
a
lawe
,
whiche
might
haue
giuen
life
,
then
righteousnes
surely
had
beene

it

manifest
that
by

no

As

beareth

so
the

worketh

But
as
the

maketh
not

good
:
So
workes
make
not
the
man
iust
.

For
,
as
the
tree
is
before
the

:
So
the
man
is
iust
,
before
the

The

in

his

and

Sathan
.
THis
faith
which
only
iustifieth
and
giueth
life
,
is
not
idle
,
nor
remaineth
alone
.
Neuertheles
,
it
alone
iustifieth
.
And
then
it
workes
by
charitie
.
For
vnfained
faith
may
no
more
abyde
Idle
,
from
working
in
loue
:
then
the
good
tree
may
from
bringing
foorth
her
fruite
in
due
time
:
and
yet
the
fruite
is
not
the
cause
of
the
tree
,
nor
maketh
the
tree
good
:
but
the
tree
is
the
cause
of
the
fruite
:
and
the
good
tree
bringeth
foorth
good
fruite
,
by
the
which
it
is
knowen
goode
.
Euen
so
it
is
of
the
faithfull
man
,
the
workes
make
him
not
faithfull
nor
iust
:
nor
yet
are
the
cause
thereof
.
But
the
faithfull
and
iust
man
,
bringeth
forth
and
maketh
good
works
:
to
the
honor
&
glorie
of
God
:
&
profit
of
his
neighbour
.
which
beare
witnesse
of
his
inward
faith
and
testifie
him
to
be
iust
before
man
.
Therefore
yee
must
be
iust
and
good
,
or
euer
yee
worke
good
workes
,
may
yee
gather
grapes
of
thornes
,
or
figges
of
thrisles
:
no
no
,
it
is
contrary
theire
nature
.
Euen
so
it
is
with
man
:
till
hee
be
made
iust
by
faith
:
as
it
is
before
writtin
:
Hee
may
neuer
doe
a
good
worke
,
but
what
euer
hee
doeth
is
sinne
,
for
al
which
is
not
of
faith
is
sinne
:
and
christ
sayeth
to
the
Pharisies
:
how
can
yee
speake
good
while

yet
euill
.
Therefore
or
euer
we
speak
good
,
or
do
good
:
we
must
be
made
good
&
that
by
the
mercy
of
god
through
faith
in

There
is
two

CHAP.

An
answere
to
all
scriptures
,
which
our
aduersaries
alledge
for
them
,
against
the
iustification
of
faith
.
2
Wherfore
works
are
commended
in
scriptures
.
3
An
argument
prouing
,
that
no
workes
iustifie
.
NOw
because
there
is
some
Scripturs
,
which
our
aduersaries
wold
cause
to
bee
seene
,
either
contrarie
to
the
scriptures
before
rehearsed
,
for
probation
of
this
article
of
iustification
,
or
els
with
them
,
they
would
mixt
this
article
:
so
that
faith
not
only
iustifieth
without
works
.
Therefore
,
I
will
rehears
some
of
the
most
principal
of
them
:
And
cause
you
vnderstand
by
the
same
scriptures
,
they
are
neither
contrarie
to
his
article
:
nor
yet
haue
any
entresse
with
faith
,
in
the
making
of
a
wicked
man
,
iust
:
but
followe
faith
as
the
due
fruites
thereof
:
In
the
which
the
Christian
man
should
liue
as
said
is
before
.
In
the
Epistle
of
S.
Iames
,
the
second
Chap.
It
is
said
Bretheren
,
what
profite
is
it
,
if
a
man
say
hee
hath
faith
,
but
hath
no
works
,
may
his
faith
saue
him
.
And
again
(
ye
see
saith
hee
)
that
a
man
is
iustified
of
workes
,
and
not
of
faith
only
.
Here
the
aduersaries
of
faith
make
a
a
great
feast
,
but
they
vnderstande
this
saying
of
the
holy
Apostle
,
as
they
doo
the
other
scriptures
:
euer
working
with
the
Deuill
to
make
the
holy
spirite
contrarie
to
himselfe
,
which
is
impossible
.

Note
the
minde
of
S.
Iames
,
in
his
Epist.
But
will
yee
vnderstand
,
take
heede
,
and
read
the
text
,
ye
shal
see
clearely
that
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
the
historicall
or
idle
faith
:
that
is
dead
without
workes
,
to
the
confusion
of
the
wicked
christians
,
which
haue
no
faith
,
but
in
the
mouth
,
and
not
of
the
faith
which
maketh
,
a
man
iust
before
God
:
and
obteineth
remission
of
sinnes
:
By
the
same
examples
and
wordes
that
he
rehearseth
:
for
he
saith
[
*
](A03284-e12770-b)
*
Marke
diligently
.
the
deuill
troweth
,
beleeueth
,
and
dreadeth
:
but
the
deuill
can
neuer
beleeue
that
christ
hath
redeamed
him
:
and
purchaste
to
him
the
mercy
of
god
,
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
eternall
life
:
whiche
is
the
faith
to
whome
S.
Paul
ascriueth
iustification
only
.
And
also
he
reproued
the
euill
Christian
(
which
sayeth
)
hee
hath
faith
and
neglecteth
the
deedes
of
charitie
,
in
cloathing
of
the
naked
,
and
feeding
of
the
hungrie
:
whiche
deedes
are
the
fruits
of
faith
,
of
the
which
S.
P.
speaketh
:
Therefore
,
there
is
no
contrarietie
in
the
Scriptures
before
rehearsed
,
but
concurrence
.
And
also
the
offering
of
Isaac
,
as
mention
is
made
before
,
was
done
aboue
thirtie
yeares
after
the
iustification
of
Abraham
,
to
the
forthshowing
of
his
obedience
as

the
15.
Chap.
&
22.
Chap.
In
the
which
offring
the
scripture
was
fulfilled
(
as
saith
S.
Iames
)
Abraham
beleeued
God
and
it
was
compted
to
him
for
righteousnes
.
Here
ye
may
see
clearely
,
S.
Iames
speaketh
nothing
of
the
iustification
before
god
:
but
of
the
iustification
before
thy
neighbour
,
becaus
of
the
examples
&
authorities
of
the
scriptures
alledged
by
him
,
which
ar
of
works
done
in
faith
by
the
faithful
,
long
after
their
iustification
.
For
faith
onely
iustifieth
before
God
as
S.
P.
saieth
without
works
:
They
alledge
an
other
text
,
the
10.
of
the
Actes
:
of
Cornelius
whose
prayers
&
almes
deedes
,
past
vp
in
the
sight
&
memory
of
god
.
By
the
which
words
they
would
inferre
,
his
works
made
him
iust
or
at
the
least
prouoked
God
to
call
him
to
the
faith
,
which
is
all
one
thing
.
For
if
we
by
our
deedes
,
may
prouoke
god
to
loue
vs
,
or
to
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
through
our
merits
:
by
the
same
reason
we
may
make
our selues
iust
.
And
so
we
need
no
other
sauiour
:
but
let
Christs
death
be
in
vaine
.
But
my
welbeloued
bretheren
,
yee
shall
vnderstand
that
God
first
loued
vs
,
&
prouoked
vs
to
loue
him
(
wee
being
sinners
vnworthie
of
loue
:
yea
enemies
also
)
as
the
Scriptures
of
god
teach
you
,
Io.
1.
ep.
and
4.
Chapter
,
and
in
his
euangell
the
3.
Chap.
and
Rom.
the
5.
Chap.
And
therefore
god
first
preueened
vs
with
loue
,
&
all
goodnes
,
and
we
not
him
.
And
so
shal
ye
vnderstand
this
text
following
of
Corn.
The
text
saith
,
there
was
a
man
named
Cornelius
,
a
captaine
,
&c.
a
deuout
man
,
&
one
that
feared
god
,
withall
his
houshold
which
gaue
great
almes
to
the
people
,
&
prayed
god
continually
,
&c.
To
whome
the
angell
sent
from
god
(
said
)
thy
almes
and
prayers
are
past
vp
in
the
sight
of
God
,
&c.
Here
yee
see
this
man
was
faithfull
,
and
iust
,
by
the
first
two
proprieties
,
by
the
which
hee
is
commended
:
which
can
not
stand
without
faith
:
That
is
,
deuout
and
fearing
god
:
Deuout
,
is
to
say
,
a
true
worshipper
of
god
.
No
man
truely
can
worship
God
,
or
please
him
,
but
in
faith
becaus
it
is
impossible
to
please
god
,
And
then
will
yee
say
:
to
what
effect
was
Peter
sent
for
,
to
instruct
him
in
the
faith
,
and
teach
him
what
he
should
doo
:
if
he
was
faithfull
,
what
faith
was
it
he
had
?
To
that
I
shall
answer
.
Cornelius
had
the
same
faith
that
Adam
,
Noe
,
and
the
fathers
had
,
for
he
beleeued
the
promised
seede
,
which
was
Christ
:
&
knew
not
that
he
was
come
:
Esay
:
O
if
thou
wouldest
break
a
sunder
the
heauens
that
thou
might
come
doune
)
would
not
haue
him
deceaued
,
to
looke
for
him
,
which
was
already
come
Therefore
he
caused
him
send
for
Peter
to
instruct
him
in
the
present
faith
.
And
to
certifie
him
that
Christ
was
come
whome
he
looked
for
so
ardentlie
.
Yee
may
read
the
text
:
them
shall
yee
perceaue
the
sermon
Peter
made
vnto
him
,
which
was
only
of
the
opening
of
the
Scripturs
testifieing
the
comming
of
Christ
in
the
fleshe
:
and
fulfilling
of
all
the
promises
,
and
Prophets
sayings
,
spoken
of
him
before
:
and
that
he
was
risen
from
deathe
:
and
had
giuen
Peter
,
Math.
vlt.
Mar.
16.
Luc.
24.
and
the
rest
of
his
Disciples
&
Apostles
,
command
to
preache
repentance
and
remission
of
sinnes
to
all
which
would
beleeue
in
his
name
.
&c.
To
the
which
words
and
preaching
of
S.
Peter
,
Cornelius
,
&
his
whole
housholde
gaue
firme
faith
,
and
receaued
by
a
visible
signe
the
holy
spirit
.
The
which
is
no
other
thing
,
but
this
article
of
iustification
.
For
hee
beleeued
the
word
of
god
:
and
by
faith
in
Christ
,
through
the
mercy
of
God
receaued
the
holy
spirit
,
without
all
working
of
any
deede
of
the
lawe
of
Moyses
:
but
onely
being
vnder
the
Law
of
nature
:
and
so
was
baptised
&c.
Therefore
yee
can
not
proue
by
this
authority
of
scripture
,
that
either
the
works
preceeding
,
or
following
the
gift
of
the
holie
spirite
,
was
the
cause
of
his
iustification
,
or
yet
any
parte
thereof
.
But
first
being
iust
through
the
faith
which
the
fathers
had
(
who
had
also
the
holy
spirit
)
truely
worshipped
god
:
and
feared
him
of
loue
,
&
so
he
was
iust
.
And
in
that
righteousnes
wrought
the
fruites
of
faith
,
in
prayers
and
almes
deeds
.
And
secondly
,
being
taught
by
Peter
,
beleeued
that
Christ
was
comme
the
sure
Sauiour
of
the
world
:
and
had
fulfilled
all
which
was
spoken
of
him
by
the
prophetes
.
By
this
faith
was
hee
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
made
iust
:
and
receaued
the
holy
spirite
visiblie
,
without
all
works
or
deseruings
.
And
then
in
the
kingdome
of
Christ
and
righteousnesse
,
wrought
the
fruites
of
faith
vnto
life
,
as
all
perfite
Christians
should
doo
.

the
5.
Chap.
Faith
,
which
worketh
by
loue
,
&c.
by
these
wordes
they
would
inferre
of
their
corrupted
maner
:
that
faith
onely
iustifieth
not
before
god
:
but
faith
which
worketh
by
loue
.
By
this
maner
of
vnderstanding
,
In
these
words
shortly
,
&
in
briefe
termes
,
the
Apost.
excludeth
all
workes
,
and
lawes
,
sacrifices
,
&
worshippings
,
both
of
Iew
and
gentill
,
to
haue
any
mixtion
with
Christ
,
in
the
iustification
of
a
christian
:
for
if
there
had
bene
any
more
excellent
work
,
or
greater
in
estimation
among
the
Iewes
(
which
were
the
chosen
people
of
god
)
then
circumcision
,
no
doubt
but
the
Ap.
would
haue
excluded
the
same
:
&
so
the
principall
work
commanded
by
god
,
and
giuen
by
him
,
as
the
seale
of
his
promis
&
couenant
,
made
to
Abraham
,
being
excluded
forth
of
of
this
article
:
how
can
any
other
worke
of
lesse
or
equall
estimation
,
haue
parte
thereinto
.
Therfore
,
the
Apost.
concluding
shortly
,
&
comprehending
the
whole
estate
of
a
Christian
man
,
saith
,
neither
is
circumcision
,
nor
vncircumcision
any
thing
worth
in
christ
,
but
faith
which
worketh
by
loue
:
he
saith
not
,
loue
which
worketh
by
faith
,
but
faith
whiche
worketh
by
loue
:
that
is
,
faith
inwardly
maketh
a
man
iust
before
God
,
Ye
read
,
loue
greatly
extolled
by
S.P.
the
1.
to
the
Corinth
.
the
13.
chap.
(
as
it
is
worthy
)
but
ye
find
neuer
iustification
before
god
attribute
to
loue
:
for
that
is
not
the
office
therof
.
But
loue
followeth
faith
in
the
third
degree
,
Faith
,
Hope
,
and
Charitie
,
being
reakoned
,
the
Apost.
exalteth
Charity
,
to
be
the
most
excellent
of
the
thre
:
but
giueth
her
none
of
their
offices
.
But
if
ye
wil
vnderstand
the
text
well
,
ye
shall
know
the
Apostles
mind
by
the
conclusion
(
saying
)
now
we
see
through
a
glas
darkly
:
but
then
we
shall
see
face
to
face
.
Now
I
know
in
part
,
but
then
shall
I
knowe
,
euen
as
I
am
knowen
,
and
nowe
abydeth
Faith
,
Hope
,
and
Charitie
,
but
the
chiefest
of
these
,
is
Charitie
[
*
](A03284-e13450-b)
*
Why
Charitie
is
called
the
chiefest
.
as
he
would
say
:
Now
we
ar
imperfite
,
but
then
we
shal
be
perfite
:
Faith
and
Hope
,
shall
both
perish
,
and
vanishe
awaye
,
but
Charitie
,
shall
remaine
in
her
perfection
:
for
then
she
is
in
her
perfection
when
the
other
two
haue
taken
effect
,
and
are
vanished
away
:
for
in
the
heauen
there
is
neither
faith
,
nor
hope
,
but
Charitie
is
in
her
most
excellent
degree
there
,
which
neuer
hath
an
ende
.
The
cause
wherefore
the
Apo.
extolleth
Charitie
,
yee
shall
consider
in
the
first
to
the
Corinth
.
the
12.
ch.
the
which
(
I
pray
you
)
reade
.
For
in
that
whole
Epist.
there
is
no
question
of
the
Article
of
iustification
,
nor
of
the
office
of
faith
,
Corinth
.
which
became
not
to
be
amongst
christians
:
therefore
,
he
exhorted
them
aboue
all
thinges
,
to
Charitie
,
which
is
the
band
of
peace
,
&
the
most
excellent
vertue
to
be
had
,
&
euer
kept
among
the
Christians
:
for
by
that
,
men
shall
know
you
(
saith
Christ
)
to
bee
my
Disciples
.
Therefore
howbeit
,
Charitie
be
the
most
excellent
vertue
:
Charitie
,
or
faith
working
by
Charitie
:
Neuertheles
Charity
iustifieth
not
before
god
,
nor
yet
hath
any
mixtion
with
faith
,
in
the
making
of
the
wicked
iust
:
but
followeth
faith
,
as
the
due
fruites
thereof
:
conforme
to
the
order
of
scriptures
before
rehearsed
:
and
as
also
hereafter
shal
be
showen
.
To
impung
this
article
:
they
alledge
this
text
,
If
thou
wilt
enter
into
life
,
keepe
the
commands
.
By
the
which
they
would
inferre
,
that
the
keeping
of
the
commands
,
is
in
our
owne
power
of
free
wil
:
and
that
we
fulfilling
the
same
according
to
our
power
and
strenght
,
may
thereby
obteine
the
kingdom
of
heauen
by
our
works
.
The
which
is
as
agreable
to
the
saying
of
Christ
as
blacke
&
white
is
:
as
yee
shall
clearely
vnderstande
by
the
Scriptures
.
Christ
being
asked
,
and
inquired
by
the
young
man
,
what
he
should
doe
or
worke
,
If
thou
will
enter
into
life
keepe
the
commands
:
which
ar
they
,
sayeth
the
young
man
?
Iesus
answered
,
thou
shalt
not
kill
:
thou
shalt
not
commit
adultery
:
thou
shalt
not
steale
:
thou
shalt
speak
no
fals
witnes
:
thou
shalt
honour
thy
father
and
thy
mother
:
and
thou
shalt
loue
thy
neighbour
as
thy selfe
.
Here
yee
see
,
Christ
teacheth
the
young
man
,
the
workes
of
the
second
table
,
which
concerne
our
neighbour
onely
:
and
speaketh
no
thing
of
the
first
table
:
which
perteineth
properly
to
God
,
and
consisteth
into
faith
.
Therefore
by
these
wordes
of
Christ
it
may
not
be
inferred
,
that
he
sendeth
any
to
the
law
,
to
obtein
perfection
therin
:
that
is
to
say
,
iustification
,
or
saluation
:
but
onely
to
let
them
know
,
what
the
Law
requireth
of
them
,
and
what
they
wer
oblished
to
doe
:
that
they
seing
no
remeady
thereinto
,
might
seeke
Christ
:
who
came
in
the
world
,
to
call
all
vnto
him
,
and
not
to
sende
them
to
the
Law
,
for
that
was
the
office
of
Moyses
.
What
auailed
Christs
comming
in
the
fleshe
:
If
hee
would
haue
sent
man
to
the
Lawe
to
get
saluation
:
but
Christ
declareth
plainely
hereafter
in
the
same
texte
,
that
there
was
no
perfection
to
be
had
in
the
deedes
of
the
Lawe
,
of
mannes
doing
,
as
appeareth
by
the
answere
made
to
the
young
man
,
and
precept
giuen
to
him
.
When
the
young
man
said
,
he
had
obserued
all
the
said
deedes
of
the
Law
,
from
his
youth
&c.
Howbeit
,
hee
made
a
lye
,
Christ
accused
him
not
,
because
it
was
not
his
office
:
but
said
vnto
him
▪
if
thou
wilt
be
perfite
,
go
thy
waye
,
and
sell
all
that
thou
hast
,
&
giue
it
to
the
poore
:
and
come
and
follow
me
.
But
when
the
young
man
harde
that
saying
,
he
went
away
sorrowfull
,
and
left
Christ
,
because
he
had
great
possessions
.
[
*
](A03284-e13720-b)
*
The
wordes
of
Christ
vttered
the
hipocrisie
of
the
young
man
.
These
wordes
of
Christ
are
no
other
thinge
,
but
the
declaration
of
the
fained
man
,
to
let
his
hart
be
knowen
,
which
beleeued
that
through
fulfilling
of
the
outward
deeds
of
the
law
,
he
might
be
found
iust
before
god
.
And
also
to
teache
vs
the
duetie
,
which
we
are
bound
to
do
to
our
neighbour
.
For
howbeit
,
Christ
hath
freed
vs
from
the
thraldome
,
and
malediction
of
the
law
,
he
will
that
we
worke
the
workes
of
charitie
,
to
the
vtility
of
our
neighbour
:
and
nothing
draweth
vs
so
much
therefrom
as
auarice
and
couetousnes
.
Therefore
Christ
opened
the
young
mans
couetous
hart
(
which
hee
would
haue
hidden
,
as
all
hypocrites
do
)
and
taught
him
,
if
he
would
bee
perfite
,
to
followe
him
,
in
whome
is
all
perfection
.
And
so
this
text
maketh
nothing
for
them
which
impunge
this
article
of
iustification
,
but
rather
against
them
,
becaus
the
matter
of
which
christ
speaketh
,
doth
concerne
the
neighbour
only
,
and
works
to
be
wrought
to
his
weale
&
vtility
,
which
of
necessitie
followe
the
article
of
iustification
,
as
the
fruits
of
faith
done
by
the
iustified
man
,
who
may
or
can
finde
no
better
workes
to
doo
,
nor
they
which
are
commanded
in
the
law
of
God
.
The
aduersaries
of
faith
reading
the
scriptures
,
And
where
euer
ye
find
mention
made
of
works
in
the
scripturs
:
without
any
adiection
,
ye
shall
vnderstand
them
of
perfite
workes
wrought
into
faith
:
of
these
workes
S.P.
maketh
mention
in
all
his
ep.
after
he
hath
set
forth
the
article
of
iustification
:
therefore
the
workes
are
but
the
witnessing
of
faith
:
and
the
obedience
which
is
required
of
the
iust
and
faithfull
man
,
to
the
glorie
of
god
,
&
profite
of
his
neighbor
,
by
the
which
the
iust
obteineth
witnessing
of
his
faith
,
as
is

by
S.P.
to
the
Heb.
the
11.
ch.
where
hee
reakoned
from
the
iust
&
faithfull
Abell
,
&
their
works
in
speciall
,
till
he
come
to
Gedeon
,
Barac
,
Sampson
,
Iepthe
,
Dauid
,
Samuel
,
&
the
prophetes
in
general
,
declaring
them
all
to
haue
done
many
great
,
and
excellent
workes
into
faith
:
and
yet
ascribeth
nothing
to
works
,
but
to
faith
onely
,
showwing
the
workes
to
be
the
testimonie
&
witnessing
of
their
faith
outwardly
:
and
no
part
of
their
iustification
,
concluding
in
this
maner
:
the
which
by
faith
haue
subdued
and
ouercome
Realmes
,
haue
wrought
righteousnesse
,
obteyned
and
gotten
the
promisse
,
haue
stopped
the
mouthes
of
Lyons
,
quenched
the
violence
of
fire
,
and
escaped
the
edge
of
the
sworde
,
&c.
Here
is
a
cleare
solution
to
all
the
obiections
of
workes
,
made
by
the
aduersaries
of
faith
:
for
seing
,
the
ap.
saith
,
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
without
faith
:
where
then
are
the
works
which
preceede
faith
,
and
moue
god
to
giue
grace
&
fauour
(
which
ye
call
de
Congruo
)
And
then
ye
worke
of
your
owne
strength
,
and
power
(
as
yee
say
)
the
workes
which
deserue
remission
of
sinnes
and
euerlasting
life
,
yea
,
not
only
sufficient
to
your selfe
,
but
also
superaboundant
to
saue
others
(
which
yee
call
De
condigno
,
&
opera
supererogationis
.
)
The
scriptures
are
plaine
against
your
false
superstitions
,
and
sophisticall
argumentes
,
concluding
that
neither
workes
preceeding
nor
following
faith
,
haue
entres
in
making
of
a
wicked
man
iust
:
nor
yet
may
saue
you
.
It
is
written
,
all
which
is
not
of
faith
,
is
sinne
.
How
then
can
ye
do
any
worke
preceeding
faith
,
that
it
may
please
God
,
or
prouoke
him
to
loue
you

all
that
ye
doo
out
of

Esay

The
workes

yee
must
be
made

iust
,
and
thereafter
(
in

)
yee

Neuerthelesse
the

not
saue
you

nor

Euen
so
it
is
of
your

not
commanded
by

:
how
honest
,
or

that
euer
they
be
in
the
sight
of
of

:
Thy

,
o
heauenly

,
be

&
not

What
better
works
can
man
doe
:
than
the
works
commanded
by
god
,
as
praiers
,
almes
deedes
,
fastings
,
and
keeping
of
holy
dayes
,
and

,
as
ye
may
reade

the
first
Chap.
The
workes
of
iniquitie
,
and
the
doers
of
them
:
the
workers
of
iniquitie
(
saying
)
passe
away
from
me
all
yee
which
are
workers
of
iniquitie
:
for
not
all
which
say
vnto
mee
(
Lord
,
lord
)
shall
enter
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
But
they
which
doo
the
will
of
my
Father
,
whiche
is
in
Heauen
.
These
workes
are
contemned
by
god
,
for
no
other
cause
,
but
that
they
ar
wrought
by
the
wicked
without
faith
:
or
mixt
with
the
article
of
iustification
,
thinking
therethrough
to
be
made
iust
,
or
to
be
a
part
of
their
owne
iustification
.
And
therefore
cannot
please
God
,
but
greatly
displease
him
,
because
the
good
worke
is
conuerted
into
sinne
,
through
the
iniquitie
of
man
.
Neuerthelesse
,
they
appeare
in
the
sight
of
man
to
be
most
excellent
good
,
and
should
haue
a
great
reward
after
the
iudgement
of
man
:
but
yee
see
here
what
rewarde
god
giueth
them
.
And
seing
the
workes
commaunded
by
God
to
be
done
:
Passe
from
me
all
ye
workers
of
iniquitie
:
I
know
you
not
.
Notwithstanding
in
other
places
of
the
scripture
,
yee
shall
finde
the
same
workes
,
greatly
commended
by
God
,
where
they
are
done
by
the
iust
man
,
as
the
fruites
of
faith
:
&
reward
promised
to
the
workers
of
them
.
So
they
confesse
them
vnprofitable
Seruantes
,
when
they
haue
done
all
that
they
can
:
For
,
Christ
saide
to
his
Disciples
:
And
if
they
,
which
fulfill
all
the
commandements
of
god
,
are
compted
,
or
repute
by
him
,
vnprofitable
seruants
:
what
haue
wee
to
glorie
in
,
which
fulfill
not
one
of
his
commandements
.
Now
I
pray
you
,
lay
this
text
to
your
assertion
(
if
thou
wilt
enter
into
life
,
keep
the
commandements
)
and
ye
shal
thinke
shame
of
your
sayings
:
insomuch
as
yee
would
impung
the
article
of
iustification
there
with
:
and
mixt
workes
with
faith
,
to
the
making
of
a
wicked
man
,
iust
.
Now
I
trust
,
it
be
sufficiently
prouen
by
authority
of
the
scripture
,
as
is
before
rehearsed
at
length
,
to
the
satisfaction
of
a
Christian
,
and
godly
man
,
that
works
are
excluded
forth
of
this
article
of
iustification
:
&
haue
no
participation
therewith
,
but
follow
faith
as
the
due
fruites
therof
,
that
all
glorie
may
redound
to
god
:
howbeit
,
the
wicked
hypocrits
and
iustifiers
of
them selues
,
will
neuer
be
satisfied
,
by
any
authoritie
of
the
scripture
:
for
they
cannot
nor
will
not
be
content
with
god
,
nor
his
word
:
Esay

but
euer
impung

to
establish
their

[

Hypocrites
are
neuer
at

in
their
conscience
.
And
therfore
are
neuer
at
rest
,
nor
quietnes
,
in
their
conscience
,
with
God
,
because
they
reiect
the
mercy
,
grace
,
and
peace
of
god
,
the
which
ar
the
substance
of
the
estate
of
a
christian
,
wherein
the
iust
liueth
by

:
&
ar
so

,
that
they
should
euer
be
blowen
in
at
the
eares
of

,
by
the
ministers
of

Therefore
,
where

writed
or

(

,
there
was
no
question
of
the

hee
neuer
pretermitted
in
the
beginning
of

Ep.
(
as
the

to
certifie

by
whose
mercy
we
are

He
hath
called

And
S.
Peter
saith
,
blessed

of

into
a
liuely
hope
,
by
the

Lorde
Iesus

from

Therefore
,
if

bee
borne
and
gotten
of
new
by
mercy
:
[
*
](A03284-e14630-b)

wrought

good
workes

reputeth
them
nothing

who
wrought
many
excellét
works
of

Neuertheles
,
he
reputeth
all
,
but
filthines
,
that
he
may
winne
Christ
:
and
be
found
in
him
,
not
hauing
his
owne
iustice
,
or
righteousnes
,
which
is
of
the
law
:
but
that
iustice
which
is
of
the
faith
of
Iesu
christ
.
And
seing
the
holy
Ap.
the
chosen
vessell
of
god
might
not
obteine
righteousnes
in
the
law
,
nor
works
:
but
in
the
mercy
of
God
,
through
faith
in
the
pretious
bloud
of
Iesu

:
Alace
,
what
blindnes

in

miserable
sinners
,
which
will
euer
glory

&
cry
good
works

which
we
neuer

and
will
haue

mixt

In
so
much
that
Christ
(
after

is
not

What
workes
should
Christians
doe
.

The
life
of
man
,
is
a
perpetuall
battell
.

What
is
the
law
of
the
members
,
and
what
the
law
of
the
spirite
.
4
What
sacrifice
we
should
offer
to

,
&
what
is

that
our

be
acceptable
.
5
Who
followeth
Christ
,
who
goeth
before
him
,
&
who
is
equall
with
him
.
BEcause
good
workes
are
the
fruites
of
faith
,
and
necessarie
must
follow
the
same
,
and
proceede
of
the
iustified
man
as
the
good
fruits
of
the
good
tree
:
without
the
whiche
no
Christian
man
may
gette
witnessing
of
his
faith
.
Therefore
after
the
forthsetting
of
the
article
of
iustification
:
should
euer
mention
be
made
of
good
workes
,
and
all
faithfull
taught
to
doe
the
same
.
S.
P.
vseth
in
all
his
ep.
but
specially
in
the
Epist.
to
the
Romans
and
Galath
.
For
being
iustified
by
faith
,
we
are
at
peace
with
God
,
by
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
But
then
hastely
riseth
the
battel
and
strife
with
the
world
,
and
persecution
,
because
all
which
wil
liue
godly
in
Christ
Iesus
,
shal
suffer
persecution
:
Then
shalt
thou
begin
to
reioyce
of
thy
trouble
:
knowing
surely
that
thou
art
the
sonne
of
God
,
because
he
chasteneth
all
sonnes
whom
he
loueth
.
This
affliction
whether
it
be
in
spirit
or
body
,
bringeth
pacience
to
thee
,
which
is
the
proufe
of
thy
faith
.
Then
conceaue
thou
hope
,
whose
office
is
to
confort
thee
,
that
thou
bee
not
ouercomme
in
thy
affliction
,
&
so
then
faith
and
hope
,
being
ioyned
together
,
the
loue
,
The
whole
life
of
man
,
S.
P.
had
,
and
as
a
knight
of
great
experience
taught
vs
the
same
:
how
he
fand
a
law
in
his
members
,
repungning
to
the
law
of
his
mind
:
which
is
no
other
thinge
,
but
the
tyrannie
of
the
Deuill
,
drawing
and
prouoking
man
to
followe
the
lusts
and
concupiscence
of
the
flesh
:
[
*
](A03284-e15100-b)
*
The
repungning
of
the
flesh
.
Not
onelie
in
externall
workes
,
but
also
in
the
inwarde
affections
of
the
minde
,
as
to
doubt
or
diffide
of
the
goodnesse
and
mercy
of
god
:
or
to
bee
slouthfull
,
voyde
,
and
emptie
of
the
loue
,
and
feare
of
god
.
The
lawe
of
the
minde
is
,
the
lawe
of
god
prouoking
,
and
calling
man
to
doe
all
Iustice
,
and
righteousnesse
,
whiche
the
faithfull
man
consenteth
to
in
his
minde
,
to
bee
good
and
iust
.
And
yet
findeth
no
power
in
him selfe
to
performe
the
same
:
for
the
whiche
the
holy
Apost.
with
an
exclamation
(
saith
)
O
vnhappy
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
mee
of
this
mortall
body
,
which
is
no
other
thing
but
a
masse
of
sinne
.
These
wordes
he
saith
not
,
as
of
a
doubt
in
his
faith
,
but
of
a
feruent
desire
to
be
dissolued
and
separated
from
this
vile
life
to
bee
with
Christ
,
because
hee
giueth
thankes
vnto
god
by
Iesus
Christ
,
by
whome
hee
is
deliuered
of
the
said
battell
.
Reade
the
7.
Chapter
,
of
the
Epistle
to
the
Rom.
where
yee
shall
clearely
perceaue
this
matter
at
lenght
.
Therefore
,
the
saintes
and
holy
men
vehemently
lamente
these
motiones
and
affections
of
the
fleshe
,
whiche
they
feele
in
their
inward
wit
,
reason
,
&
manly
wisdome
,
repungning
against
the
spirite
,
and
will
not
bee
subiect
thereto
,
nor
may
not
of
their
own
power
or
strength
,
but
by
the
spirite
of
god
,
But
because
this
mortall
body
of
sinne
is
euer
repungning
vnto
the
spirite

also
to
conceaue
in
our
harts
the
true

perfite

of
god
,
which
moueth
and
causeth
vs
to
abhorre
sinne

and
detest
our
wicked
corrupte

,
which
euer

This

sacrifice

which
God
desireth
of

so
pleasant

S.

to

To

the
example
of
Adam
.
[
*
](A03284-e15480-b)
*
That
is
loue
and
extoll
his
magnificence
in
all
kinde
of
godlie
life
.
Therefore
the
Apost.
commandeth
vs
to
be
renewed
with
the
spirit
of
the
minde
,
and
cloth
vs
with
the
new
man
.
The
minde
is
the
fountaine
,
&
beginning
of
all
thinges
:
So
it
must
be
renewed
,
if
any
good
works
shuld
follow
:
Put
away
the
euill
of
your
thoughts
from
my
eyes
.
&c.
And
so
to
doe
good
workes
according
to
the
pleasure
of
god
,
&
order
of
the
scripture
,
is
to
beginne
to
mortifie
this
sinfull
body
,
as
is
before
rehearsed
.
Then
are
we
the
good
tree
,
whose
fruite
is
sweete
,
and
pleasant
in
the
sight
of
god
,
and
acceptable
to
him
.
S.
Iames
saith
in
his
Ep.
the
1.
Ch.
This
our
crosse
is
no
other
thing
,
And
then
in
the
greatest
troubles
and
afflictions
raise
vp
our
hartes
with
faith
,
Esay
.

On
this
maner
we
followe
Christs
footsteppes
,
who
hath
borne
our
sinnes
in
his
body
vpon
the
crosse
:
Since
we
haue
made
mention
of
three
kinde
of
personnes
:
that
is
of
them
which
goe
before
Christ
,
of
them
which
goe
astray
from
Christ
,
and
of
them
which
follow
Christs
footesteppes
.
It
is
necessarie
,
to
let
them
bee
knowen
by
them selues
,
that
the
true
and
faithfull
may
be
knowen
by
their
deedes
:
[
*
](A03284-e15800-b)
*
Who
goeth
before
Christ
.
They
which
confide
in
their
owne
workes
,
merites
,
and
deseruings
,
thinking
therethrough
to
obteine
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
and
satisfie
for
their
owne
sinnes
:
Not
onely
for
them selues
,
but
also
of
the
superaboundance
of
their
merits
,
for
others
:
of
the
which
they
make
marchandise
.
These
are
they
,
which
goe
before
Christ
,
and
are
called
Antichristes
or
contrarie
to
Christ
,
because
they
vsurpe
his
office
,
and
wil
be
Iustifiers
of
them selues
and
others
.
[
*
](A03284-e15810-b)
*
Who
goeth
astray
from
Christ
.
They
which
thinke
faith
not
sufficient
to
iustifie
without
workes
,
but
will
haue
their
own
good
deedes
ioyned
,
to
helpe
Christ
,
in
their
iustification
.
These
are
they
which
go
astray
from
Christ
,
&
wil
be
equall
with
him
,
in
their
owne
iustification
,
for
none
of
these
hath
Christ
suffered
death
.
Therefore
,
hee
shall
abstract
from
these
two
kindes
,
his
wisedome
,
righteousnes
,
holines
,
and
redemption
,
and
shall
suffer
them
to
contend
with
the
law
in
the
latter
iudgement
,
whose
workes
being
accused
,
and
the
puritie
and
cleanes
required
,
according
to
the
perfection
of
the
lawe
:
all
their
noble
workes
and
deedes
of
good
zeale
,
and
intention
shal
bee
found
abomination
in
the
sight
of
God
:
how
excellent
or
shining
that
euer
they
be
before
men
,
Passe
your
waye
from
mee
,
ye
workers
of
iniquitie
.

The

kind
of

are

putte

Against

The

What

THe
blinde

,
witte
,
and
vnderstanding
of
man
(
which
is
but
the
desires
and
appetites
of
the
fleshly
man
)
is
the
cause
why
wee
misknowe
the
good
and
perfite
order
,
to
doe
good
workes
,
taught
vs
in
the
scriptures
:
This
order
the
Apostle
teacheth
Galath
.
the
5.

,
Romanes
the
8.
chapter
&

And
S.
Pet.
in
his
first
epistle
the
2.
chapter
.
O
miserable
,
blinde
,
&
ignorant
man
why
doest
thou
neglect
the
good
worke
of
god
,
to
inuent
a
good
worke
of
thy
owne
making
:
thinking
there
through
to
please
god
:
saying
,
thou
doest
it
of
a
good
zeale
and
intention
,
which
is
asmuch
to
say
as
,
that
thy
minde
,
and
intentione
are
good
in
the
selfe
.
And
because
thou
thinketh
the
same
good
,
God
after
thy
iudgement
,
should
approue
the
same
as
good
.
Thou
art
deceaued
,
because
thou
vnderstandest
not
the
Scriptures
,
or
will
not
vnderstande
the
same
.
It
is
written
that
the
whole
thoght
of
man
,
and
all
the
cogitations
of
his
hart
,
The
Lord
knoweth
the
cogitations
of
mans
hart
,
that
they
are
vaine
.
Nowe
my
hartes
,
where
will
yee
finde
your
good
zeale
,
and
good
intention
:
either
is
it
euill
of
thee
self
,
or
els
God
is
false
,
the
whiche
can
not
bee
:
yee
may
call
it
good
,
but
God
who
hath
better
knowledge
thereof
,
then
ye
haue
,
by
his
word
testifieth
all
that
is
in
you
to
bee
but
euill
,
as
he
hath
declareth
by
the
mouth
of
Moyses
,
[
*
](A03284-e16260-b)
*
The
commandement
of
god
,
contrarie
our
good

:
and
neither
adde
to
his
word
,
nor
take
therefrom
,
but
walk
in
the
way
,
the
which
the
lord
hath
commanded
.
This
showeth
thee
,
that
thou
should
not
followe
thy
good
zeale
,
and
intention
,
thinking
therethrough
to
please
god
:
Great
is
the
difference
betwixt
the
will
of
god
,
and
the
will
of
man
.
The
thought
of
god
,
and
the

The

Through

al

That
the
sayings
of

Proph.
spoken
to
the
people
of
Israell
,
Iewes
.
Euen
as
the
theef
is
ashamed
when
he
is
taken
:
euen
so
is
the
house
of
Israel
ashamed
:
they
,
&
their
kinges
,
their
princes
,
preists
&
Prophets
:
saying
vnto
the
tree
or
stocke
,
thou
art
my
father
:
and
to
the
stone
,
thou
hast
be
gotten
me
.
They
haue
turned
their
backe
to
mee
(
sayeth
the
Lord
God
)
and
not
their
face
.
And
in
the
time
of
their
trouble
,
and
affliction
,
they
shall
say
:
Rise
,
and
deliuer
vs
,
then
shall
the
Lord
say
vnto
them
,
where
are
thy
gods
which
thou
hast

let

arise

o
Iuda

wilt
thou
contend
with

in

Now
I
pray
you
,
conferre
these
words
of
god
,
here
plainly
spoken
,
with
the
doings
of
these
dayes

Blessed

laboure

that
it
is
not

to
abide
long
vpon
the
discussing
of
these
matters
:
but
onely
to
remit
you
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
saide
godly
declarations
made
therevpon
:
against
the
superstitious
worshipping
of
Saintes
:
going
in
pilgrimage
,
purgeing
in

hallowing
of

,
or
other

foundatioun
of

not
commanded
in
the
word
of

,
choise
of
meats
,
forbidding
of
mariage
in

abominable

oincted

S.
Luke
sayeth
the
3.
chapter
.
Iohn
the
baptist
preaching
repentance
in
remission
of
sinnes
:
the
people
inquired
at
him
,
what
they
should
doe
:
to
whom
he
answeared
saying
He
that
hath
two
coates
,
giue
to
him
that
hath
not
one
.
And
he
that
hath
meate
,
let
him
doe
in
like
maner
.
This
is
no
other
thing
,
but
to
exercise
the
deedes
of
mercy
,
The
Publicanes
and
open
sinners
inquired
in
like
maner
,
what
they
should
doe
:
to
whom
he
answeared
(
saying
)
yee
shall
doe
no
further
,
then
that
which
is
commaunded
you
to
doe
:
as
he
would
say
,
decline
and
cease
to
doe
euill
,
and
learne
to
doe
good
,
as
yee
ar
teached
by
the
Propete
Esay
.
the
1.
Chapter
.
And
Dauid
teacheth
you
the
perfecton
of
religione
(
saying
)
Come
to
me
my
sonnes
,
and
heare
mee
,
and
I
shall
teach
you
the
feare
of
of
the
Lord
.
Who
is
he
who
liueth
and
loueth
to
see
good
dayes
:
let
him
refraine
his
toung
from
euill
,
and
his
lippes
that
they
speake
no
fraude
:
decline
from
euill
,
&
doe
good
:
seeke
peace
,
and
followe
the
same
.
Therefore
,
passe
your
waye
and
sinne
no
more
:
for
I
will
not
send
you
to
the
lawe
to
get
remeady
of
your
sinnes
.
But
looke
in
the
law
,
and
behold
what
is
ordeined
you
to
do
.
The
which
will
declare
you
to
be
sinners
,
&
transgressours
.
And
then
ye
shall
seeke
Christ
,
for
remeady
,
whose
forerunner
I
am
.
It
is
he
,
in
whome
ye
shall
finde
remeady
.
And
being
inquired
of
the
souldiers
,
what
they
should
doe
:
Here
is
a
good
order
taught
you
which
are
ministers
of
the
worde
,
to
learne
the
auditour
in
generall
,
or
speciall
,
to
doe
good
works
:
That
is
,
to
show
them
the
works
commanded
by
god
:
the
right
fruits
of
repentance
,
and
faith
,
to
the
which
ye
should
send
them
,
and
not
to
vaine
workes
inuented
by
man
,
which
is
no
other
thing
,
but
to
heape
sinne
vpon
sinne
.
And
Christ
being
asked
by
the
Iewes
:
What
shall
we
doe
(
say
they
)
that
we
might
work
the
workes
of
god
:
This
is
the
worke
of
God
,
that
yee
beleeue
in
him
,
whome
hee
hath
sent
.
Here
,
hee
sent
them
not
to
the
law
(
howbeit
,
the
law
be
the
worke
of
god
)
but
to
faith
,
which
is
not
the
work
of
man
,
but
the
work
of
god
,
which
hee
worketh
in
man
.
Therefore
Christ
saith
to
vs
:
Beleeue
,
and
yee
shal
bee
safe
.
S.
Peter
:
Lord
,
to
whome
shall
we
passe
,
thou
hast
the
words
of
life
:
wee
will
seeke
no
other
,
but
beleeue
in
thee
.
Yee
shal
consider
that
Christ
,
after
hee
had
refreshed
the
people
with
their
corporall
foode
.
Then
he
taught
them
the
perfection
of
a
Christian
man
.
And
fed
them
with
the
spirituall
foode
.
And
they
which
receaue
the
same
,
did
follow
him
:
the
rest
left
him
,
which
had
no
faith
,
but
tooke
his
doctrine
carnally
,
&
of
externall
and
outwarde
workes
,
as
did
the

rehearsed

nor
that
which
is
already
layde
,
the
which
is
Iesus
Christ
.
Let
vs
build
vpon
this
foundation
,
gold
,
siluer
,
and
pretious
stones
,
which
are
the
workes
of
God
,
commanded
in
the
holy
scripture
,
to
bee
wrought
into
faith
:
euery
one
according
to
his
vocation
,
in
the
which
we
should
walke
worthely
,
And
Christ
saith
:
Take
my
yoke
on
you
,
and
learne
of
me
that
I
am
meeke
,
and
lowly
in
harte
:
and
yee
shall
finde
rest
vnto
your
soules
:
For
my
yoke
is
easie
,
and
my
burden
light
.
The
which
wordes
,
Christ
would
neuer
haue
spoken
,
if
hee
had
laden
vs
with
the
law
.
For
,
that
burden
is
so
weightie
that
neither
we
nor
our
fathers
might
beare
it
,
as
S.
Pet.
saith
,
in
the
Actes
of
the
Apost.
the
15.
Chapter
.
But
verily
,
the
yoke
of
Christe
is
easie
[
*
](A03284-e17350-b)
*
Wherefore
Christs
yoke
is
easie
,
and
his
burden
light
.
and
his
burden
is
light
to
the
faithfull
,
&
chosen
,
for
they
lay
all
vpon
Christs
back
,
and
follow
him
through
faith
:
confiding
nothing
in
their
owne
workes
,
nor
merites
:
but
euer
working
all
good
,
according
to
their
vocation
,
giuing
all
glorie
,
and
honor
vnto
God
:
not
exceeding
the
boundes
of
their
vocation
,
which
is
the
best
rule
,
that
the
faithfull
can
haue
,
to
doe
good
workes
:
to
the
knowledge
thereof
,
we
will
make
some
short
declaration
,
and
then
make
an
ende
.
Yee
shall
vnderstande
,
that
there
is
two
kindes
of
godly
vocations
.
The
one
is
,
immediate
by
god
,
as
the
prophetes
were
called
in
the
old
testament
:
Moys.
a
gouernour
,
to
the
people
.
And
as
the
Apostles
in
the
new
testament
.
Moys.
to
bee
Gouernour
to
the
people
,
at
the
commandement
of
god
.
And
as
Timoth.
and
Titus
,
were
called
by
S.P.
to
bee
bishops
:
and
as
all
they
,
which
nowe
are
called
to
be
bishops
,
which
are
lawfully
made
,
according
to
the
word
of
god
,
and
authoritie
of
the
magistrates
.
Therefore
,
to
the
knowledge
of
euery
mans
vocation
,
I
remit
him
to
the
word
of
god
,
and
his
own
conscience
,
which
are
his
inward
&
most
sure
iudges
.
There
is
a
generall
vocation
,
by
the
which
we
ar
called
by
Christ
,
&
his
word
to
a
christian
religion
,
Charity
,
is
called
the
band
of
Peace
.
[
*
](A03284-e17520-b)
*
Charitie
,
is
the
band
of
peace
.
There
is
but
one
fellowship
of
all
the
faithfull
,
&
one
body
:
That
is
,
one
church
,
whose
only
head
is
Christ
.
In
this
church
is
,
nor
should
bee
,
no
diuision
:
for
there
is
in
this
vocation
&
christian
religion
but
one
body
,
one
faith
,
one
baptisme
,
which
is
the
seale
of
our
religion
,
marked
by
god
,
with
the
bloud
of
his
only
begotten
sonne
Christ
Iesus
our
lord
:
in
whose
bloud
we
are
baptised
:
one
god
,
and
one
father
of
all
,
which
is
vpon
all
,
and
by
all
,
and
in
vs
all
.
[
*
](A03284-e17570-b)
*
Why
the
faithfull
are
called
one
body
.
For
in
to
one
spirit
,
and
by
one
spirite
,
the
whole
vniuersall
congregation
of
the
faithful
,
is
gouerned
,
ruled
,
strengthned
,
and
kept
.
There
is
but
one
marke
or
ende
,
to
the
which
all
the
faithfull
contend
or
shoote
at
,
that
is
eternall
life
.
Wee
are
all
the
Sonnes
of
one
Father
,
and
participant
of
one
heritage
,
as
we
are
called
in
one
hope
of
our
vocation
.
And
seing
,
we
haue
but
one
lord
,
which
is
Iesus
Christ
.
It
is
conuenient
that
his
seruantes
bee
of
one
minde
,
and
not
deuided
through
discord
,
and
enuie
.
There
is
but
one
profession
of
faith
,
in
all
this
Christian
religion
,
&
vocation
:
for
howbeit
,
wee
see
in
these
our
dayes
many
sundry
professions
,
and
opinions
of
faith
:
There
is
but
one
true
faith
,
which
is
that
faith
,
which
the
Apost.
of
our
Lorde
Iesus
Christ
,
Corinth
.
The
4.
and
5.
to
the
Ephes.
In
the
which
yee
shall
finde
this
mater
declared
by
the
Apostle
at
lenght
.
In
this
generall
vocatione
their
is
no
distinction
of
personnes
,
for
all
men
are
equall
before
god
,
of
one
estate
,
by
one
generall
promis
al
are
called
to
the
faith
,
S.
Iames
sayeth
,
My
brethren
haue
not
the
faith
of
our
glorious
Lord
Iesus
Christ
in
respect
of
persons
.
And
S.P.
saith
,
to
the
confounding
,
of
the
fals
apost.
which
seduced
the
Gal.
through
great
authoritie
:
and
also
to
show
him selfe
equal
in
power
with
Iames
,
Peter
,
and
Iohn
,
That
God
is
not
a
respecter
of
the
person
of
man
:
but
in
this
vocation
of
Christian
religion
by
baptism
through
faith
in
the
bloude
of
Christ
,
Galath
.
3
all
men
ar
equall
:
both
Iewe
&
gentill
,
seruand
,
free
man
,
&
woman
,
all
are
one
in
Christ
Iesus
:
the
sonnes
of
Abraham
by
faith
:
&
according
to
the
promis
heirs
:
that
is
to
say
:
all
which
beleeue
ar
the
sonns
of
god
therfore
ar
they
fre
&
heirs
of
eternal
life
.
To
this
generall
vocation
perteineth
the
sayings
of
S.
Pet.
in
these
words
:
Yee
are
a
chosen
generation
,
a
royall
priesthoode
,
a
holy
nation
,
&
a
people
set
at
liberty
,
that
ye
should
forthshowe
the
vertues
of
him
that
hath
called
you
forth
of
darknesse
,
into
a
meruelous
light
,
&c.
The
same
is
said
by
Moyses
,
Ex.
the
19.
Chapter
.
Here
yee
see
in
this
vocation
there
is
no
acception
of
persons
We
ar
all
the
holy
people
of
God
,
which
beleeue
vnfainedly
,
yea
kinges
oincted
in
Baptisme
by
the
holie
Spirit
:
&
priests
making
sacrifice
to
god
dayly
,
of
this
our
sinful
body
,
If
we
will
looke
dayly
to
this
christian
vocation
,
we
shal
haue
perfite
knowledge
what
works
we
shuld
doe
,
&
what
works
we
should
leaue
vndone
.
The
neglecting
hereof
,
is
the
cause
of
al
the
enormities
,
&
abuses
now
ruling
in
the
church
of
christ
through
the
whole
world
.
For
considering
wee
ar
all
members
of
one
body
:
&
all
members
haue
not
one
office
,
but
euery
one
serueth
other
in
their
owne
place
:
as
when
the
eares
heare
any
thing
,
the
eyis
casteth
the
sight
what
it
shuld
be
:
them
the
feete
&
hands
prepare
them
to
pursue
,
or
defend
,
to
stand
or
flee
.
And
al
these
members
&
whole
body
,
[
*
](A03284-e18030-b)
*
Euery
member
should
serue
in
his
owne
vocation
.
Euen
so
we
being
all
members
of
one
body
(
which
is
the
Church
)
whose
heade
,
is
Christe
:
should
in
our
estate
and
office
,
according
to
the
gift
of
god
,
and
grace
giuen
to
vs
:
differing
one
from
another
,
serue
in
our
speciall
vocation
,
euery
one
another
,
in
our
owne
estate
:
Not
inuying
the
gift
of
god
in
our
neighbour
:
but
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
Let
vs
loue
brotherly
fellowshippe
,
in
going
before
another
,
in
honour
,
&
reuerence
.
In
doing
hereof
,
there
would
be
no
strife
in
the
body
:
but
if
a
member
were
troubled
,
hurt
,
or
had
any
disease
,
all
the
other
members
would
haue
compassion
of
it
.
And
if
one
member
were
glad
or
ioyfull
,
all
the
other
members
would
reioyce
with
the
same
,
as
the
Apost.
saith
,
the
1.
to
the
,
Corinth
.
the
12.
Chap.
If
wee
knew
this
perfitly
,
none
would
vsurpe
anothers
office
or
dignitie
(
to
the
whiche
he
were
not
called
)
but
would
be
content
of
his
own
vocation
,
&
giue
to
euery
man
his
duetie
:
tribute
,
to
whom
tribute
is
due
:
custome
,
to
whome
custome
perteineth
:
feare
,
to
whome
feare
belongeth
:
and
honour
,
to
whome
it
perteineth
.
The
which
are
all
compleite
by
this
saying
:
loue
thy
neighbour
as
thy self
:
for
the
loue
of
thy
neighbour
,
worketh
no
euill
.
Therefore
,
the
Apostle
saith
:
Owe
nothing
to
any
man
,
but
that
ye
loue
together
.
[
*
](A03284-e18110-b)
*
Loue
is
euer
debt
There
fore
this
loue
one
to
another
,
is
euer
debt
and
should
euer
bee
payde
.
For
will
the
Prince
&
Superiour
do
his
duetie
to
the
subiect
:
and
the
subiect
his
duetie
to
the
Superiour
,
there
would
bee
no
disobedience
.
The
minister
of
the
word
to
the
auditour
,
and
flocke
committed
to
his
care
:
The
auditour
to
the
minister
of
the
worde
,
there
would
be
no
diuision
in
the
Church
.
The
father
and
mother
to
the
children
,
and
the
children
to
the
parents
,
there
would
bee
no
dishonouring
.
The
lord
to
the
seruant
,
and
the
seruant
to
the
lord
,
there
would
bee
no
contempt
,
nor
trouble
in
the
common
weale
.
And
so
would
we
all
looke
vpon
Christ
,
our
head
,
and
be
ruled
with
his
word
,
and
seek
no
other
way
beside
it
,
nor
mixt
the
ciuill
or
politicke
estate
,
with
the
word
of
god
but
euery
one
to
serue
in
the
owne
rowm
and
place
:
then
should
there
be
no
question
of
politick
works
:
nor
no
other
works
of
any
law
,
to
be
mixt
with
faith
:
which
iustifieth
onely
before
god
,
as
it
is
before
written
:
but
euery
faithful
person
should
by
the
word
of
god
know
their
own
vocation
,
&
diligently
exercise
them
therintill
.
And
seeke
no
further
knowledge
,
nor
wisedome
,
but
that
,
that
is
needfull
to
them
to
know
.
And
that
with
meeknesse
and
sobernes
,
euer
working
the
works
of
god
,
which
ar
the
fruits
of
faith
to
the
honour
of
god

All
estate
of
man
is
conteined
,
within
one
of
these
four
speciall
vocations
.
2
The
offices
of
princes
,
magistrats
&
iudges

Wherefore
iudges
are
called
the
sonnes
of
God
,
wherefore
,
and
in
what
case
they
should
be
obeyed
.
To
the
more
perfite
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
of
our
speciall
vocations
:
If
thou
be
called
to
the
office
,
estate
,
or
dignitie
of
a
king
,
prince
,
or
any
supreme
power
,
hauing
iurisdiction
of
people
in
the
ciuil
ordinance
:
Consider
thy
estate
,
The
right
way
to
rule
in
thy
office
,
is
to
knowe
God
:
[
*
](A03284-e18340-b)
*
No
man
may
know
god
,
but
by
his
word
.
of
whom
thou
can
haue
no
knowledge
,
but
by
his
word
and
lawe
,
whiche
teacheth
thee
,
what
thou
shouldest
doe
,
and
leaue
vndone
,
according
to
thy
vocation
.
And
as
to
thy
princely
estate
and
dignitie
,
and
office
,
thou
art
Father
to
all
thy
kingdome
.
Their
heade
in
place
of
god
,
to
rule
,
gouerne
,
and
keep
them
,
vpon
whome
thou
shouldest
take
no
lesse
care
,
then
the
carnall
father
taketh
vpon
the
best
beloued
sonne
,
gotten
of
his
body
.
For
they
are
giuen
by
god
to
thee
,
in
gouernement
:
Blessed
is
the
man
,
which
deliteth
in
the
lawe
of
the
Lorde
,
and
hath
his
meditation
thereinto
,
day
and
night
.
Then
aske
at
God
wisedome
,
and
vnderstandinge
(
which
is
the
knowledge
of
his
godly
will
)
and
a
harte
that
may
receaue
teaching
,
that
thou
mayst
iudge
thy
people
,
&
decerne
betwixt
good
&
euil
,
as
thou
art
taught
by
the
example
of
Solomon
:
Therefore
humblie
,
and
lowly
submit
thy selfe
in
the
handes
of
thy
God
,
and
take
thought
of
him
,
being
gouerned
by
his
word
.
Beginne
at
him
,
and
set
forth
the
true
and
perfite
worshipping
of
god
,
in
thy
Kingdome
.
Iuda
,
Ezechias
and
Iosias
,
as
thou
mayest
reade

fourth
booke
of
the
kinges

23.

This
is
thy
vocation
,
in
the
which
thou
shouldest
walke
:
and
orderly
proceed
in
guiding
of
thy
people
as
thou
art
taught
by
the
worde
of
god
:
To
you
,
which

perteine
wisedome

,
that
ye
may
iustly

truely

the

Therefore

to

Iudges

There
is
nothing
left
vnexpressed

that
is
necessary
to
thee
to
work

in
the
scripturs

Thou
art
commanded
to
be
a
mirrour
,
or
example
to
thy
flocke
,
in
teaching
of
the
word
,
in
good
life

in

in

:
euer
exercising
thy selfe
in

exhorting
,
and
teaching
the
which
if
thou
doe
,
Thou
should
not

with

affares
,
Yee
should
not
onely
your selues
,
continuallie
reade

and
teache
the
scripturs
,
but
also
yee
should
command
the
flocke
in
your
charge
to
seeke
their
spiritual
food
in
the
same
.
This
was
the
order
in
the
church
of
Christ
in
the
beginning
.
S.
P.
sayeth
:
All
thinges
which
are
written
:
they
ar
written
to
our
learning
,
that
through
patience
,
and
consolation
of
Scriptures
,
we
may
haue
hope
(
that
is
)
of
eternall
life
.
The
which
is
the
marke
whereat
shoote
al
the
faithfull
:
for
in
the
Scriptures
of
God
,
all
things
are
conteined
necessarie
for
our
saluation
.
Alace
,
thinke
yee
not
shame
(
which
ar
bound
&
oblished
,
vnder
the
paine
of
eternall
damnation
,
to
teache
your
flocke
this
maner
of
doctrine
)
to
inhibit
and
forbid
them
to
looke
vpon
the
scripture
,
either
to
heare
,
or
reade
them
.
This
is
farre
different
from
the
order
of
the
apost.
yea
,
and
of
the
holy
fathers
of
the
church
long
time
after
:
as
appeareth
clearly
by
the
teaching
of
Chrisost.

he
with
a
great
lamentation
,
The
feeding
of
your

the
attendance
and
care
yee
should
take
therevpon
is
so
necessary
,
[

Without
a
bishope
preache
truelie
he
can
do
no
good
worke
before
god
.
that
without
the
doing
thereof
,
yee
can
doe
no
good
works
at
all
according
to
your
vocation
,
which
can
please
god
,
because
in
neglecting
of
this
yee
neglect
faith
:
out
of
the
which
all
good
workes
should
spring
.
So
should
all
your
good
workes
,
follow
faith
.
And
this
principal
point
of
your
vocation
is
the
cause
that
S.
P.
departing
from
Ephe.
to
Ieru
.
called
befor
him
the
ministers
of
the
word
in
the
congregation
:
certifieing
them
he
would
not
returne
againe
in
bodily
presence
:
and
therefore
hee
left
to
them
this
legacie
,
saying
:
Attend
,
and
take
heede
vnto
your selues
,
and
to
the
whole
flock
,
in
the
which
the
holy
spirit
hath
put
you
,
bishoppes
to
guide
,
and
rule
the
Church
of
god
:
the
which
he
hath
redeamed
with
his
bloud
.
For
I
knowe
after
my
departing
,
there
shall
enter
in
amongst
you
,
rauening
wolues
,
which
shall
not
spare
the
flocke
.
And
of
your selues
,
there
shall
rise
men
,
speaking
wickednes
,
that
they
may
leade
disciples
to
follow
them
.

What
kinde
of
men
were
chosen
to
bee
bishops
,
in
the
primatiue
Church
.
IF
thou
bee
an
housholder
,
rule
,
and
guide
thy
familie
,
and
houshold
,
bring
vp
thy
childern
in
all
godlynesse
,
and
honestie
,
exercising
thy selfe
in
thy
occupation
faithfully
,
and
truely
,
without
deceate
or
fraude
to
thy
neighbour
,
either
in
word
or
deede
:
loue
thy
wife
,
euen
as
Christ
hath
loued
the
Church
.
For
thou
art
debt
bounde
to
loue
thy
wife
,
If
ye
(
men
and
women
)
wold
take
care
vpon
your
vocation
,
how
honourable
the
estate
of
the
same
is
,
and
what
yee
ought
euery
one
vnto
another
,
there
were
none
of
you
,
who
would
commit
adulterie
,
or
defile
your
owne
bodies
,
nor
defraude
one
another
,
of
their
duety
and
right
.
For
thou
man
,
hast
not
power
of
thy
owne
body
,
but
the
woman
:
Nor
thou
woman
hast
not
power
of
thy
owne
bodie
,
but
the
man
.
Therefore
,
there
is
neither
of
you
,
that
should
giue
your
bodies
to
other
men
or
women
,
Tim.
and
sweetnesse
,
forbearing
her
somewhat
,
as
the
weakest
vessell
.
And
thou
woman
,
pretend
no
dominion
vpon
thy
Husbande
,
but
obey
him
as
thy
lord
,
taking
example
of
the
obedience
,
of
that
noble
woman
Sarai
.
If
ye
wold
keep
this
order
,
and
rule
in
your
own
vocation
,
there
would
be
no
strife
betwixt
you
,
but
all
godlines
and
loue
.
No
man
would
contemne
or
disdaine
his
wife
:
nor
no
woman
her
husband
:
but
euery
one
loue
other
,
as
their
own
body
,
&
take
care
one
for
another
,
in
all
things
.
Thou
man
should
dayly
&
hourely
exercise
the
,
according
to
thy
vocation
.
And
labour
diligently
,
for
sustentation
of
thy
wife
,
children
,
&
familie
.
That
thou
mayst
minister
vnto
them
their
necessaries
:
for
if
a
man
take
no
thought
of
his
owne
,
and
specially
of
his
houshold
and
familie
,
hee
hath
denyed
the
faith
,
And
thou
woman
,
exercise
thee
in
nourishing
,
and
vp
bringing
of
thy
children
in
ruling
all
thinges
within
thy
house
,
as
thou
hast
commandement
of
thy
husband
,
take
care
vpon
his
direction
,
as
thy
head
,
and
transgresse
not
his
commandement
:
for
that
is
the
will
of
God
.
I
meane
not
of
euill
,
but
of
all
goodnesse
:
because
I
speake
of
the
fruites
of
faith
,
and
workes
of
righteousnesse
:
yee
are
all
bound
to
doo
the
workes
,
whiche
God
hath
commanded
you
to
do
,
in
his
holy
scripture
,
of
mercy
,
loue
,
and
charitie
:
by
reason
of
your
vocation
in
the
christian
religion
:
And
these
other
workes
in
your
speciall
vocation
.
In
doing
of
the
which
,
thinke
that
ye
do
the
good
work
of
god
:
and
please
him
,
if
yee

Hypocrites

not

)
Beeing

But
they
which
knowe
not
their
owne
vocation
,
can
neuer
bee
faithfull
.
Therefore
they
can
neuer
worke
good
workes
,
but
all
is
euill
,
whatsoeuer
thing
,
they
do
or
worke
,
without
faith
becaus
all
which
is
not
of
faith
,
is
sinne
.
Therefore
,
if
thou
wilt
worke
well
,
be
faithfull
,
and
looke
euer
to
thy
vocation
.
And
thou
shalt
finde
thy
conscience
,
teaching
thee
(
both
)
to
do
good
,
and
eschew
euill
,
at
all
times
.
Ye
should
be
pure
and
cleane
in
your
conuersation
,
for
good
example
giuing
to
your
Children
and
familie
.
For
as
they
see
you
doe
,
so
shall
they
learne
:
And
are
euer
rather
inclined
to
do
euill
,
than
good
,
by
reason
of
this
corrupted
nature
of
man
:
[
*
](A03284-e20460-b)
*
The
life
of
the
fathers
should
be
cleane
because
it
is
a
mirrour
to
the
sonnes
.
Therefore
teach
them
to
loue
and
feare
God
,
to
know
his
lawe
,
being
euer
your selues
an
example
to
them
:
And
as
it
were
a
mirrour
to
looke
into
,
in
all
godly
life
and
conuersation
.
For
if
they
behold
you
liuing
together
(
in
great
loue
and
charitie
,
chastitie
,
and
temperance
,
being
mercifull
to
the
poore
,
supporting
the
indigent
,
after
the
quantitie
of
your
riches
,
at
loue
,
&
charitie
,
with
your
neighbour
,
euer
speaking
good
of
all
creaturs
,
detracting
none
)
they
shall
followe
the
same
doings
,
by
the
which
ye
shal
be
called
the
the
faithfull
fellowship
of
Iesus
Christ
:
&
true
subiects
of
his
realme
.
Your
vocation
is
good
&
holy
,
and
it
becommeth
you
to
know
the
scriptures
:
For
in
the
primatiue
church
,
*
the
bishops
were
chosen
commonly
forth
of
your
nomber
.
A
godly
&
honest
housholder
,
who
liued
in
chast
matrimonie
,
ruled
,
and
guided
,
his
houshold
well
:
brought
vp
his
children
in
subiection

&

,
in
all
maner
of
godly
teachings
.
Hee
hauing
this
outward
witnessing
,
is
commanded
by
the
Apost.
to
be
chosen
to
the
office
of
a
bishop
.
Therefore
,
woe
be
to
you
,
which
saye
that
laickes
,

secular
men

yee
impung
the

spirite
:
and
dishonour
the
olde
Fathers
of
the
Church
,
which
taught
the
contrarie
,
as
by
example
of
Chrisostome
,
Wo
,
wo
,
be
vnto
you
therefore
,
which
would
abstract

false

If

sonne

,
be
obedient
to
thy
superiour
:
first
vnto
thy
prince
,
as
the
supreame
power
:
and
to
euery
one
hauing
power
from
him
,
for
they
are
the
ministers
of
God
,
whom
thou
shouldest
obey
,
&
not
resist
:
ordeined
by
god
to
the
reuenge
of
euill
doers
,
and
louing
of
the
good
doers
which
is
the

,
as
yee
ar
taught
Romanes

13.
chapter

And
the

chapter
.
Your
duetie
is
to
honour
al
men
,
loue
brotherly
fellowship
feare
god
,
&
honour
the
king
:
be
obedient
to
him
,
not
onely
for
feare
and
dreadour
of
his
ire
:
but
also
for
hurting
of
your
conscience
,
because
it
is
the
will
of
God
,
in
all
thinges
not
repungning
to
his
command
.
Giue
to
thy
prince
and
superiour
his
duetie
:
or
what
euer
he
chargeth
thee
with
,
concerning
temporall
riches
:
inquire
not
the
cause
,
for
that
perteineth
not
to
thy
vocation
.
Hee
is
thy
head
,
whom
thou
shouldst
obey
.
Trangresse
not
his
Lawes
.
Be
not
a
reuenger
of
thy
owne
cause
.
For
that
is
asmuch
as
to
vsurpe
his
office
.
So
thou
walkest
not
aright
in
thy
vocation
.
Looke
not
to
his
faultes
,
or
vices
,
but
to
thy
owne
:
disobey
him
not
,
howbeit
he
bee
euill
,
and
doe
the
wrong
(
which
becommeth
him
not
of
his
office
)
grudge
not
thereat
,
but
pray
for
him
,
and
commit
thy
cause
to
god
.
Be
not
a
perturber
of
the
common
weale
,
but
liue
with
thy
neighbour
at
rest
,
and
quietnesse
,
euery
one
supporting
others
,
as
members
of
one
body
:
forgiuing
gladly
and
freely
,
one
an
other
:
If
there
be
any
complaint
amongest
you
,
euen
as
the
Lorde
hath
forgiuen
you
:
Be
sweete
,
meeke
,
bening
humble
,
and
patient
,
one
with
another
:
as
it
becommeth
the
saintes
,
and
welbeloued
of
god
:
hauing
compassion
one
of
another
.
Aboue
all
these
haue
loue
,
and
charitie
,
which
is
the
bond
of
perfection
.
For
charitie
coupleth
togegether
many
members
in
one
body
.
This
are
yee
taught
by
the
Apostle
Coloss.
the
3.
chap.
and
in
other
places
before
rehearsed
.
Here
yee
finde
aboundance
of
works
,
commanded
you
to
doe
by
God
:
&
neede
to
seeke
no
others
.
There
is
none
which
can
work
these
good
workes
but
the
faithfull
.
From
doing
of
the
which
,
the
faithfull
and
iustified
man
can
not
cease
:
but
euer
worketh
as
he
findeth
occasion
,
according
to
his
vocation
:
hee
looketh
euer
to
his
owne
faults
,
and
sinns
,
&
not
to
his
neighbours
.
Yee
children
,
obey
your
parents
,
with
great
humilitie
,
loue
,
feare
,
and
honour
them
,
for
that
is
the
command
of
God
:
&
the
first
which
hath
promis
(
as
concerning
thy
neighbour
)
that
it
may
be
well
to
the
,
&
that
thou
liue
long
vpon
earth
.
This
obedience
,
&
honour
consisteth
not
in
wordes
onely
,
nor
in
salutations
:
but
also
in
ministring
all
thinges
necessarie
vnto
them
.
Remembring
as
they
ministred
vnto
you
,
in
your
tender
,
feeble
,
and
poore
youthheade
.
Euen
so
do
yee
to
them
:
in
their
feeble
,
impotent
,
&
poore
age
.
*
Neglecting
this
good
work
vndone
yee
can
doe
no
good
worke
,
that
can
please
God
.
There
is
no
colour
of
godlines
may
excuse
you
from
this
good
worke
.
Howbeit
your
wicked
and
vngodly
pastors
,
haue
taught
you
to
found
a
soule
masse
:
with
your
substance
,
and
suffer
father
and
mother
to
begge
their
breade
This
is
a
deuilish
doctrine
to
conuert
the
good
worke
of
god
into
Idolatry
.
The
Scribes
and
Pharisies
their
forefathers
taught
the
same
,
as
testifie
the
wordes
of
Christ
.
Yee
seruauntes
obey
,
your
carnall
Lords
,
and
maisters
,
with
feare
and
trimbling
,
with
simplenesse
of
hart
,
as
it
were
vnto
Christ
,
not
in
eyes
seruice
,
as
it
wer
to
please
men
:
but
as
seruants
of
Christ
:
doing
the
will
of
God
,
not
onely
to
them
which
are
good
,
and
well
instructed
in
maners
,
but
also
to
the
wicked
and
euill
.
What
euer
yee
doe
worke
the
same
with
your
harte
,
as
it
were
to
the
lord
,
and
not
to
man
:
knowing
surely
ye
shall
receaue
from
the
lord
the
reward
of
the
heritage
.
Therefore
serue
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Be
not
flatterers
,
nor
lyers
,
backbiters
,
nor
detracters
:
serue
not
your
maisters
onely
in
their
presence
,
but
also
in
their
absence
:
without
deceat
or
dissimulation
.
Take
thought
of
the
thinges
giuen
you
in
charge
,
and
obey
their
will
,
euen
as
to
God
,
who
looketh
vpon
your
inward
mindes
.
Pretend
not
to
be
equall
with
your
Lord
,
or
maister
,
because
yee
are
both
of
one
Christian
religion
:
but
serue
him
the
better
:
haue
loue
,
and
charitie
,
with
your
equall
fellowe
seruantes
,
as
all
members
of
one
body
:
exercising
you
in
all
good
workes
,
according
to
your
vocation
in
the
Christian
religion
.
Now
yee
see
that
we
which
professe
the
true
faith
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
ascribeth
the
iustification
of
man
before
god
,
onely
to
faith
,
without
all
workes
merits
or
deseruinges
,
on
our
parte
:
that
we
are
not
the
destroyeres
of
good
workes
:
but
the
mainteiners
,
defenders
,
and
foorthsetters
of
the
same
:
as
the
fruites
of
faith
:
as
I
haue
before
at
lenght
showed
.
Therefore
I
exhort
you
(
which
blaspheme
vs
,
saying
,
we
would
destroy
all
good
workes
,
because
we
affirme
with
the
scriptures
of
god
,
faith
onely
to
iustifie
before
god
)
to
remord
your
conscience
,
and
reade
the
Scriptures
with
an
humble
hart
and
spirit
,
which
shall
teach
you
the
right
way
,
by
the
grace
of
the
holy
spirit
,
who
will
lead
you
in
all
veritie
.
And
then
I
doubt
not
,
but
yee
shall
aggrie
with
vs
,
and
contemne
,
and
despise
,
the
vaine
superstitious
workes
,
not
commaunded
in
the
Scripture
:
but
inuented
of
mans
vaine
conceate
(
as
we
doe
)
.
And
altogether
as
it
becommeth
the
faithfull
members
of
Iesus
Christ
:
worke
the
workes
of
God
which
are
commanded
vs
in
his
holy
scriptures
:
Euery
one
according
to
his
vocation
,
proceeding
of
loue
,
furth
of
a
cleane
&
pure
hart
,
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
of
faith
vnfained
,
which
worketh
by
charitie
,
to
the
profite
of
thy
neighbour
and
glorie
of
god
.
To
whom
be
all
praise
,
honour
and
glory
for
euer
and
euer

Amen

THE
SOMMARIE
OF
the
first
Chap.
OVr
whole
study
should
be
to
adhear
vnto
god
:
running
to
him
in
the
time
of
tribulation
(
as
doeth
the
wild
hart
,
in
the
birning
heate
,
to
the
could
riuer
)
with
sure
hope
of
deliuerance
by
him
allone
.
Not
inquiring
his
name
.
That
is
the
maner
,
how
hee
shall
deliuer
vs
.
The
sommarie
of
the
second
Chapter
.
BY
faith
haue
we
knowledge
of
god
,
whom
we
should
seeke
in
his
scriptures
:
and
receaue
him
,
as
he
is
offered
to
vs
thereinto
:
that
is
,
a
defender
,
protector
,
refuge
and
father
,
inquiring
no
further
speculation
of
him
.
For
Philip
desiring
to
see
the
Father
:
Answeared
Christ
,
Who
hath
seene
mee
,
hath
seene
the
Father
.
Meaning
that
the
loue
,
goodnes
,
and
mercy
,
which
God
the
Father
beareth
vnto
mankinde
:
hee
had
expressed
in
doctrine
,
and
workes
.
And
also
should
show
a
most
singular
token
of
loue
,
giuing
his
owne
life
for
his
Ennemies
.
And
therefore
would
all
men
come
to
him
,
to
whome
the
Father
hath
giuen
all
power
.
The
sommarie
of
the
third
Chapter
.
TRibulations
are
profitable
to
the
faithfull
:
for
thereby
the
strentgh
of
the
flesh
somewhat
is
dantoned
,
and
ceaseth
to
rebell
against
the
spirite
:
And
beginneth
to
seeke
god
,
who
is
a
peculiar
Father
to
the
faithfull
:
deliuering
them
from
all
tribulations
:
Not
for
their
worthynesse
,
but
for
his
own
mercie
.
Worldly
tribulations
are
the
signe
and
token
of
gods
loue
,
albeit
,
the
wicked
and
vnfaithfull
iudge
otherwise
,
which
in
tyme
of
tribulation
runne
from
God
,
seeking
help
at
man
(
which
is
but
vaine
)
whereof
they
being
frustrate
,
and
deceaued
,
fall
in
desperation
.
The
sommary
of
the
fourth
Chapter
.
THe
faithfull
thanke
god
in
tribulation
,
and
albeit
our
wicked
nature
,
teacheth
vs
to
flye
from
God
,
as
did
our
first
parent
Adam
,
after
his
transgression
:
Yet
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
leadeth
vs
,
to
the
throne
of
our
Fathers
grace
,
where
we
finde
goodnes
,
mercy
,
&
iustice
,
giuen
to
vs
freely
by
Iesus
Christ
,
as
they
were
giuen
to
Adam
.
Who
albeit
,
fled
from
god
:
yet
he
moued
of
loue
,
toward
his
own
handywork
,
followed
him
:
and
albeit
,
Adam
at
the
voice
of
god
,
repented
not
,
but
obstinately
excused
his
sinne
:
yet
god
made
to
him
the
promisse
of
saluation
,
before
hee
pronounced
his
wrath
contrary
sinne
(
which
of
his
righteous
iudgement
hee
must
punish
▪
)
And
so
Adam
wrought
nothing
which
might
moue
god
to
make
this
promisse
:
more
then
hee
wrought
that
of
dust
,

Chapter

ADam
,
expelled
forth
of
paradise
,
had
no
consolation
,
except
in
the
blessed
seede
promissed
.
By
whom
hee
beleeued
him
to
stande
in
gods
fauour
,
for
all
bodily
consolation
which
hee
had
of
his
two
Sonnes
,
was
turned
in
dolour
:
when
Cain
killed
Abell
.
In
the
which
dolour
,
Adam
many
yeares
remained
,
will
God
hauing
compassion
vpon
him
,
gaue
him
another
sonne
,
named
Seth
:
of
whome
descended
the
blessed
seede
.
For
this
sonne
,
Adam
gaue
thankes
vnto
god
,
taking
all
afflictions
in
patience
,
knowing
him
worthie
of
greater
punishment
,
by
whose
example
we
should
patiently
(
with
thankesgiuing
vnto
god
)
suffer
all
tribulation
.
For
none
descending
of
Adam
,
by
naturall
propagation
,
are
iuster
then
hee
was
after
his
fall
:
which
all
his
life
,
suffered
trouble
,
hauing
no
confort
,
but
that
he
should
ouercome
all
worldly
calamitie
(
yea
,
and
also
the
slightes
of
Sathan
,
which
had
deceaued
him
)
by
the
blessed
seede
promissed
.
And
this

should
be
our
confort
in
all
tribulations
.
The
sommarie
of
the

Chap.
BY
bodily
afflictions
our
faith
is
tryed
,
as
gold
by
the
fire
.
They
are
also
a
communion
with
the
passions
of
Iesus
Christ
.
And
therefore
in
them
haue
we
matter
and
cause
to
reioyce
:
considering
we
suffer
without
cause
,
committed
contrarie
man
.
Notwithstanding
the
wicked
persecute
the
faithfull
,
in
all
ages
,
as
if
they
had
beene
mischieuous
or
euill
doers
,
as
may
be
seene
in
the
persecution
of
the
prophets
,
Apost.
&
of
Iesus
Christ
him self
.
The
cause
hereof
,
is
the
neglecting
of
gods
word
:
and
taking
from
faith
her
due
office
,
whereof
riseth
all
dishouring
of
god
:
for
none
may
or
can
honour
god
,
except
the
iustified
man
.
And
albeit
,
in
diuerse
men
,
there
be
diuerse
opinions
of
iustification
:
yet
they
alone
,
in
whome
the
holy
spirit
worketh
true
faith
(
which
neuer
wanteth
good
workes
)
are
iust
before
god
.
The
substance
of
iustification
is
,
to
cleaue
fast
vnto
god
,
by
Iesus
christ
,
and
not
by
our selfe
,
nor
yet
by
our
workes
.
And
this
Article
of
iustification
should
be
holden
in
recent
memorie
,
because
without
the
knowledge
thereof
,
no
workes
are
pleasant
before
God
.

AS
by

of

Adam
and
Eue
seeking
wisedome
,
contrarie
Gods
commandement
,
were
deceaued
,
and
fell
in
extreame
miserie
.
So
they
seeking
iustification

,
then
teach

,
remaine
vnder
the

for

alone
reconciliateth

to
vtter
sinne
,
and
trouble
the
conscience
(
as
it
did
to
Adam
after
his
transgression
)
may
not
doe
.
Therefore
who
list
to
resist
Sathan
,
let
him
cleaue
to
faith
:
for
it
is
the
onely
shield
,
which
his
dartes
may
not

For
no

but
that
his

pleased
god
,
because
it
was
offered
into

.
And
the
posteritie
of
Cain
pursued
perpetually
them

From
the
dayes
of
Noe
,
to
Abraham
this
article
of
iustification
altogether
was
obscured
,
Idolatry
spredding
ouer
all
.
The
cause
thereof
was
,
they
followed
the
external
works
of
the
holy
fathers
in
sacrifice
:
but
had
no
respect
to
faith
,
without

which
all
sacrifices
ar
Idolatrie
.

the

made
to

:
whereto
Abraham
giuing
credit

is

reakoned

whose

we
ar

by
reason
he
is
very
man
of
the
seed
of

And
also
because
in
him
wee
are
adopted
,

made
the

The

is
euer

,
as
Abraham
beleeued
Ismaell
:
And
Isaac
beleeued
Esau
,
to
haue
beene

But
faith
iudged
righteously
,
which
caused

with

that

should
be

But
the
cause
which
moued

was
,
that
hee
plainly
taught

that

For

may
neuer

And
the

can
neuer

exclude

in

,
is
an

which
a
man
may
performe
of
his
owne

.
And
is
deuided
in
the
iustice
of

,
that
is
,
which
commeth
of
the
law
,
which
man
maketh
:
And
in
the
iustice
of
the
law
of
god
.
The
iustice
of
man
is
deuided
in
politick
,
and
Ceremoniall
.
Politicke
iustice
is
:
an
obedience
,
which
the
inferiour
estate
giueth
to
their
superiour
:
which
should
be
keept
,
because
it
is
the
command
of
God
that
princes
be
obeyed
.
Ceremoniall
iustice
is
:
the
obseruing
of
statutes
and
traditions
commanded
by
the
Bishope
of
Rome
,
counsels
,
or
Shoolemaisters
,
which
ar
to

so
that
they
repung
not
to
the
law
of

:
nor
yet
that
by
them

men
seeke
remission

The
iustice
of

to

as

that
is

there
is
no

iustified

by

for
in

Moyses

all

For
by

all

became
rebels
to

And

Enter
not

for

SEing
then
our
forefathers
were
not
iust
,
by
the
law
,
nor
workes
thereof
,
of
necessitie
must
we
seeke
the
iustice
of
another
(
that
is
of
Iesus
Christ
)
which
the
law
may
not
accuse
:
In
whom
if
we
beleeue
we
ar
receaued
in
the
fauour
of
god
accepted
as
iust
without
our
merits
or
deseruinges

But
here
obiecte
the
wicked
(
as
their
vse
is
,
when
any
thing
transcendeth
their
capacitie
in
vnderstanding
)
these
questiones
.
First
wherefore
gaue
God
the
Law
:
if
man
may
not
fulfill
the
same
?
Secondly
,
wherefore
shuld
we
work
good
works
,
seing
by
them
we
are
not
made
iust
?
thirdly
whereby
were
the
fathers
made
iust
?
The
sommary
of
the
14.
Chap.
FOr
vnderstanding
of
the
first
question
,
man
should
learne
to
know
god
as
hee
is
declared
in
the
Scripture
:
That
is
to
know
him
creator
and
maker
of
all
:
which
also
made
all
his
creatures
in
their
first
creation
good
,
and
perfite
,
who
not
onely
gaue
a
law
to
man
:
but
also
to
the
rest
of
his
creatures
:
as
to
beasts
,
Sunne
,
Moone
,
sea
,
and
elements
.
That
thereby
he
might
be
glorified
,
&
knowen
Lord
.
And
so
to
man
hee
gaue
a
Lawe
,
to
the
effect
he
should
know
his
maker
,
and
obey
him
.
Which
Law
when
Adam
transgressed
,
he
lost
his
perfection
,
and
righteousnesse
.
And
so
the
cause
,
why
man
may
not
fulfil
the
law
,
is
:
that
the
law
remaineth
in
the
owne
perfection
:
in
the
which
it
was
first
created
by
god
:
but
man
by
his
disobedience
,
and
foolishnesse
,
fell
from
his
perfection
.
And
therefore
should
he
accuse
him selfe
,
and
not
god
,
that
he
may
not
fulfill
the
law
,
which
is
perfite
,
The
sommary
of
the
15.
Chap.
IN
Adam
,
after
his
transgression
remained
a
litle
of
that
knowledge
,
and
power
,
with
the
which
he
was
indewed
by
god
:
&
from
him
it
descended
in
his
posteritie
:
whereby
man
may
worke
the
outward
workes
of
the
Lawe
.
But
the
whole
obedience
thereto
,
giueth
no
man
.
For
these
wordes
proue
all
man
(
Iesus
Christ
excepted
)
to
be
sinners
by
the
law
:
Of
the
deedes
of
the
law
,
shall
no

be
iustified

Which
wordes
Sophistes
would

speaketh
of

proue

:
The

speaketh
to

And
all

is
vnder

morall

And

THe
iustice
which
is
acceptable
before

hath
diuerse

first
it

called
the
iustice
of
god
,
becaus
it
proceedeth
onely
of
the
mercy
of
god
:
secondly
it
is
called
the
iustice
of
faith
:
because
faith
is
the
instrument
,
whereby
we
apprehend
the
mercy
of
god
.
And
last
it
is
called
iustice
,
becaus
by
faith
in
christ
,
it
is
giuen
vs
freely
without
our
deseruings
:
but
euen
as
the
dry
earth
receaueth
the
raine
,
but
all
deseruinges
of
the
self
:
So
receaue
we
the
iustice
,
which
is
of
value
before
god
,
without
all
our
workes
:
but
yet
we
must
suffer
god
to
worke
in
vs
.
And
this
iustice
is
plainly
reuealed
in
the
euangel
,
from
faith
to
faith
,
That
is
,
wee
should
continue
in
this

all

For

:
euer
trusting
to

THe
faith
of
the
fathers
before
Christs
comming
in
the
flesh
,
and
ours
in
the
new
testament
:
was
and
is
one
thing
.
For
they
beleeued
them
to
stande
in
the
fauour
of
god
:
by
reason
of
that
promissed
seede
,
which
was
to
come
,
whome
wee
beleeue
,
is
come
already
,
and
hath
fulfilled
all
which
was
spoken
of
him
,
in
the
law
,
and
prophets
.
By
this
faith
were
the
fathers
made
safe
,
without
all
their
works
as
testifieth
Peter
.
And
where
our
aduersaries
aske
them
,
what
auailed
workes
?
We
answere
,
that
works
are
an
outward
testimony
to
faith
,
by
which
only
man
,
is
first
made
iust
:
&
therafter
his
works
pleas
God
,
because
the
persone
is
acceptable
.
And
so
,
no
godly
man
forbiddeth
good
workes
:
but
of
necessitie
,
must
they
bee
excluded
from
the
iustification
of
man
.
For
Paull
saith
,
if
iustice
bee
of
the
lawe
,
Christs
death
is
in
vaine
.
For
albeit
,
iustice
sometime
be
ascribeth
to
man
:
that
is
not
,
because
it
proceedeth
of
man
:
but
because
it
is
giuen
to
man
,
freely
by
god
:
like
as
our
faith
,
is
called
the
faith
of
Iesus
Christ
,
because
by
him
we
are
repute
iust
:
for
he
is
made
to
vs
from
god
,
wisedome
,
iustice
,
holynes
,
and
redemption
.
And
so
all
the
scripture
testifieth
,
vs
to
bee
made
iust
freely
,
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
that
all
glory
may
be
giuen
to
him
.
And
therefore
,
who
maked
workes

,
as
branches
in
the
wine
roote
,
bringing
forth
good
fruites
,
not
of
our
owne
strenght
:
but
of
the
power
of
the
spirite
,
of
Iesus
christ
remaining
in
vs
,
by
true
faith
:
which
works
the
law
may
not
condemne
,
becaus
they
are
the
works
of
Iesus
christ
,
and
not
ours
.
And
so
the
glorie
of
works
is
excluded
by
the
law
of
faith
.
For
in
our
iustification
,
wee
onely
receaue
,
as
did
our
Father
Abraham
(
whose
sonnes
wee
are
by
faith
)
which
was
reakoned
iust
,
before
he
wrought
any
good
works
.
The
veritie
of
the
scripture
proueth
,
that
the
heritage
commeth
not
by
the
lawe
:
for
by
the
law
,
Ismaell
,
and
Esau
,
the
eldest
sonnes
should
haue
succeeded
to
the
heritage
:
and
not
Isaac
&
Iacob
,
which
were
yonger
.
And
so
by
the
promis
commeth
the
heritage
,
and
not
by
the
lawe
.
For
the
law
euer
accuseth
,
&
craueth
more
of
vs
,
than
we
ar
able
to
pay
.
And
therfore
damnation
abydeth
vs
,
without
we
apprehend
Iesus
Christ
,
which
payeth
for
vs
,
that
which
the
lawe
requireth
.
For
hee
alone
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
Hee
called
all
to
him self
,
and
sendeth
none
to
the
law
,
to
seek
iustification
.
And
therfore
,
who
seeketh
any
parte
thereof
by
their
workes
,
spoile
Christ
of
his
office
.

We

THE
wicked
by
works
of
their
own
intention
,
would
be
a
part
of
their
owne
saluation
:
because
thay
seek
their
own
glorie
(
as
did
the
Scribs
and
Pharisies
)
and
not
the
glory
of
God
.
But
seing
the
works
commanded
by
god
done
without
faith
,
to
deserue
,
remission
of
sinnes
,
are
abomination
before
god
,
as
testifieth
Esay
:
what
shal
be
of
the
vaine
workes
of
man
,
set
vp
without
the
command
of
god
:
by
which
hypocrites
would
be
made
iust
.
And
if
we
should
confesse
(
as
commandeth
Iesus
Christ
)
when
we
haue
done
all
:
yet
wee
are
but
vnprofitable
seruauntes
:
where
is
the
merite
of
the
workes
of
supererogation
:
which
hypocrites
would
sell
to
others
:
And
if
Paull
which
had
right
excellent
works
,
esteemed
them
al
,
to
be
but
filthinesse
,
that
he
might
winne
Christ
,
and
be
found
in
him
not
hauing
his
owne
iustice
,
which
is
of
the
lawe
:
but
the
iustice
which
is
of
the
faith
of
Iesus
Christ
:
If
Paull
(
I
say
)
sought
no
iustice
in
his
own
works
,
how
shal
we
(
whose
workes
are
on
no
maner
equall
,
to
the
workes
of
Paull
)
be
iustified
thereby
:
And
therefore
with
the
scripturs
and
Apostles
we
conclude
,
that
by
faith
onely
in
Christ
,
we
ar
made
iust
,
without
all
law
or
workes
.
And
after
man
be
made
iust
by
faith
,
and
possesseth
Iesus
Christ
in
his
hart
,
then
can
he
not
bee
idle
.
For
with
true
faith
,
is
also
giuen
the
holie
spirite
:
which
suffereth
not
man
to
bee
idle
,
but
moueth
him
to
al
godly
exercise
of
good
workes
.

AFter
the
article
of
iustification
,
christians
should
bee
instructed
to
doe
good
works
:
not
these
which
are
inuented
by
man
,
but
which
are
commanded
by
god
:
amongst
which
the
principall
is
,
to
reioyce
in
tribulation
:
giuing
thankes
to
god
,
in
all
things
,
with
sure
hope
,
and
patience
,
abyding
his
deliuerance
:
knowing
that
the
life
of
man
is
a
perpetuall
battell
vpon
earth
:
The
law
of
the
members
euer
rebelling
against
the
law
of
the
mind
.
The
law
of
the
members
,
wee
call
the
tyrannie
of
the
deuill
,
euer
drawing
vs
to
the
lustes
of
the
flesh
,
not
onely
in
externall
works
,
but
also
in
the
inwarde
affections
of
the
minde
:
as
to
doubt
of
the
goodnesse
and
mercy
of
god
,
to
be
sloughtful
,
and
not
to
loue
,
and
feare
him
,
with
our
whole
hart
.
The
law
of
the
minde
or
of
the
spirite
is
:
the
motion
of
the
holie
ghost
,
stirring
vs
vp
to
all
iustice
,
and
righteousnes
:
which
we
know
to
bee
good
,
and
yet
finde
no
power
in
our selfe
,
to
performe
the
same
.
And
this
battell
is
most
vehement
in
the
most
holy
,
as
witnesseth
Paull
.
And
therefore
to
kill
this
outwarde
man
,
which
is
our
wit
,
reason
,
and
will
,
we
should
offer
our
bodies
vnto
god
in
a
quicke
,
liuely
,
and
holy
sacrifice
:
but
before
this
sacrifice
bee
pleasant
to
god
,
must
the
minde
(
which
is
the
Fountaine
of
all
good
workes
)
bee
renewed
with
the
spirite
of
god
,
and
made
cleane
:
which
is
,
when
we
cast
from
vs
our
wisedome
,
righteousnes
,
holynes
,
and
redemption
,
and
receaue
the
same
from
Iesus
Christ
.
Some
there
is
,
which
put
their
whole
trust
in
their
own
works
,
thinking
thereby
to
obteine
the
eternall
glorie
.
And
these
men
go
before
Christ
,
and
are
called
Antichristes
.
Others
there
is
,
which
thinke
faith
not
sufficient
:
but
will
haue
their
workes
ioyned
to
helpe
Christ
:
and
these
goe
astray
from
him
.
For
none
of
these
two
kindnes
suffereth
Iesus
Christ
death
:
but
for
them
onely
which
follow
him
,
laying
all
their
sinnes
vpon
his
backe

THe
foolish
reason
of
man
,
perswadeth
vs
,
to
leaue
the
workes
commanded
by
god
:
And
to
set
vp
workes
of
our
own
inuention
,
thinking
God
to
bee
pleased
therewith
,
becaus
they
are
done
of
good
zeale
,
and
intention
.
The
scriptures
of
God
showeth
all
the
thoughtes
and
cogitations
of
man
,
to
be
euill
at
all
time
.
And
if
so
bee
,
what
is
our
good
intention
?
But
whether
the
intent
of
man
bee
good
,
or
not
,
the
fruites
proceeding
therefrom
,
shall
testifie
.
For
as
sometime
in
Israell
abounded
all
Idolatrie
(
they
hauing
gods
,
according
to
the
multitude
of
their
Cieties
)
So
nowe
amongst
them
which
are
called
Christians
,
are
set
vp
,
carued
Images
,
defended
,
adorned
,
and
worshipped
,
contrarie
the
expresse
commandement
of
God
.
The
blessed
sacrament
of
Christs
body
and
bloud
,
abused
,
and
prophaned
,
before
them
.
And
all
this
and
much
more
abomination
proceedeth
from
that
zeale
,
which
wee
call
good
.
But
how
good
that
euer
it
appeare
in
our

the
adhearers
thereto
shall
receaue
the

of
God

NO
better
works
can
be
,
then
Iohn
the
baptist
taught
to
the
people
:
which
are
the
workes
of
mercy
,
and
to
desist
from
fraude
,
iniurie
,
and
oppression
.
And
these
workes
(
and
not
the
vaine
inuentions
of
man
)
pastours
should
teach
their
flocks
:
instructing
them
first
,
in
perfite
faith
.
For
Iesus
christ
(
being
asked
by
the
Iewes
what
they
shuld
do
,
that
they
might
worke
the
workes
of
god
:
that
is
,
that
they
might
please
god
)
answered
:
This
is
the
worke
of
God
,
that
yee
beleeue
in
him
whome
he
hath
sent
.
By
the
which
words
,
our
maister
vnderstandeth
,
that
without
faith
,
whiche
is
the
worke
of
god
,
and
not
of
man
,
no
worke
pleaseth
god
.
The
yoke
of
Christ
is
easie
,
and
his
burden
is
light
to
the
faithfull
,
because
they
lay
all
their
sinns
vpon
Christs
backe
,
and
follow
him
,
euery
man
in
his
owne
vocation
.
There
is
two
maner
of
vocations
,
one
immediate
by
god
,
as
the
prophetes
,
and
Apostles
were
called
,
to
be
preachers
without
authoritie
of
man
.
Another
is
mediate
,
as
when
one
man
called
another
:
As
Paull
called
Timoth.
&
Tit.
to
be
bishops
.
There
is
a
generall
vocation
,
by
which
all
the
chosen
are
called
to
a
Christian
religion
.
Hauing
one
lorde
,
one
faith
,
one
baptisme
:
In
this
vocation
,
there
is
no
difference
of
persons
,
but
all
are
equally
loued
by
god
:
becaus
we
ar
all
the
sonns
of
one
father
,
&
al
boght
with
one
price
,
all
seruaunts
to
one
lord
,
all
guided
with
one
spirite
,
all
tending
to
one
end
,
and
shall
all
be
participant
of
one
heritage
,
that
is
,
the
life
eternall
by
Iesus
Christ
,
by
whom
we
are
all
made
priests
,
and
kings
:
but
let
no
man
herefore
,
vsurpe
the
authoritie
of
a
king
in
dignitie
:
nor
the
office
of
a
priest
in
administration
of
gods
word
,
&
sacraments
:

that
perteinteh
to
a
speciall
vocation

of
these
four
special

or
subiect

pastor

or
one
of

father

In
the

conteined
all
magistrats

hauing
Iurisdiction

Whose
duety
is
,
first
to
know
god
,
and
his
lawe
,
which
hath
placed
them
in
that
authoritie
.
Secondly
to
guide
,
feed
,
and
defend
their
subiects
:
knowing
them selues
to
be
no
better
of
their
nature
,
then
is
the
poorest
in
their
realme
.
Thirdly
to
defend
the
iust
and
punish
the
wicked
,
but
respect
of
persons
.
Hauing
their
harts
and
eyes
cleane
and
pure
from
all
auarice
.
They
are
called
the
sonnes
of
God
,
and
should
be
obeyed
in
all
things
,
not
repungning
to
the
command
of
god
,
because
they
ar
ordeined
&
placed
by
god
:
to
punish
vice
&
mainteine
vertue
,
and
therefore
their
owne
life
should
be
pure
and
cleane
:
first
because
otherwise
they
can
not
punish
sinne
:
and
secondly
,
because
the
wickednesse
of
princes
,
prouoketh
their
subiects
to
the
Imitation
thereof
.
And
therefore
the
life
of
princes
shuld
be
pure
&
cleane
as
a
mirrour
to
their
subiects
:
and
should
admitte
into
their
kingdomes
,
no
worshipping
of
god
:
except
that
which
is
commanded
in
the
scripturs
:
for
god
being
commoned
by
Idolatry
:
and
strange
worshipping
,
hath
destroyed
many
kingdomes
,

THE
principall
office
of
a
Bishop
is
,
to
preache
the
true
Euangell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
knowing
that
if
the
flocke
perishe
,
the
bloud
shal
be
required
at
his
hands
.
And
that
hee
neglecting
the
preaching
of
the
Euangell
,
is
no
bishop
,
nor
can
doe
no
worke
pleasant
before
god
.
And
therefore
no
bishop
should
mixt
him selfe
with
temporall
or
seculer
busines
:
for
that
is
contrarie
his
vocation
:
but
continually
should
preache
,
reade
,
&
exhort
his
flocke

to
seeke
their

to

the

declare
them selues
,
wolues

whom
god
shall
shortly
punish
(
because
they
haue
contemned
his
command
:
attending
altogether
vpon
their
own
vaine
supertitions

as
he
did
Hely

and
his
two
