AS
SAINT
PAVL
(
RIGHT
Worshipful
&
dearly
beloued
in
our
deare
sauiour
)
was
chosen
of
God
,
to
be
his
lampe
,
&
a
light
of
his
golden
Candelsticke
;
so
did
hee
performe
the
●utie
of
light
:
he
bent
himselfe
to
lighten
them
●hat
were
in
darcknesse
,
wheresoeuer
he
came
.
Hee
was
a
lamp
to
the
Thessalonians
,
a
lamp
●o
the
Corinthians
,
a
lamp
to
the
Romanes
,
a
●amp
to
the
Ephesians
,
a
lamp
to
the
Colossi●ns
:
to
omit
the
rest
,
hee
was
a
lampe
to
these
●eople
of
Galatia
,
as
appeareth
by
this
Epistle
which
he
penned
first
(
as
many
take
it
)
and
first
●ent
vnto
them
.
Wherein
appeareth
that
he
had
laied
the
skilful
builder
,
&
laid
them
on
christ
●e
corner
stone
of
the
temple
:
called
&
conuerted
●hem
from
foolishnesse
to
wisedome
;
from
ig●orance
to
knowledge
;
from
error
to
the
truth
;
●om
superstition
to
christian
religion
.
How●eit
where
by
his
painfull
care
,
&
careful
tra●el
among
them
,
he
had
thus
brought
them
to
an
●●ppy
estate
in
Iesus
Christ
,
it
grieued
Sa●n
to
see
it
,
&
therefore
hee
busied
himselfe
to
put
out
the
cleare
light
of
Paul
the
lampe
of
Christ
our
sauior
,
&
to
pull
out
of
the
wall
the
liuely
stones
that
Saint
Paul
his
elect
builder
had
laid
vpon
him
.
Nay
alas
,
he
did
not
only
grieue
at
this
prosperous
estate
of
these
Galathians
,
wherein
they
stood
;
&
therefore
sent
out
such
as
should
seek
to
ouerthrow
the
good
that
Paul
had
wrought
among
them
:
but
as
hee
attempted
,
so
hee
tempted
;
and
by
his
tempting
preuailed
so
far
,
that
the
Galathians
fell
from
light
to
darcknes
;
from
true
wisedome
to
their
former
folly
;
from
truth
to
error
;
from
the
syncerity
of
religion
to
superstition
;
from
christ
to
Moses
:
by
which
meanes
it
came
to
passe
that
S.
Paul
their
Apostle
was
in
a
maner
forgotten
,
and
his
truth
almost
forsaken
of
them
,
and
among
them
.
Which
their
miserable
estate
●
piteous
the
Apostle
considering
,
hee
tooke
thi●
course
to
write
this
epistle
to
them
;
thereby
to
warne
them
of
their
estate
by
him
in
the
gospell
;
of
their
folly
in
reuolting
;
of
his
care
to
conuert
them
again
from
concision
to
the
true
circumcision
:
from
the
ceremonies
of
the
La●●
to
the
truth
of
the
gospel
,
that
so
Iesus
Chri●●
might
profit
them
,
and
hee
bee
a
ioyful
Apostl●
ouer
,
&
in
them
.
Many
waies
doth
he
moue
th●
I
neede
not
to
expresse
the
specials
.
In
th●
verse
he
layeth
before
him
the
mischief
,
&
grea●
euill
that
the
false
Apostles
wrought
in
the
church
,
how
they
were
enimies
to
the
estate
of
these
Galathians
:
how
they
brought
them
from
the
breade
of
life
to
feede
on
leauen
:
from
the
greene
tree
,
to
the
dry
sticke
;
from
the
body
to
the
shadow
:
from
the
kernell
to
the
shell
:
from
Christ
to
the
Law
ceremoniall
:
whereby
they
made
them
sore
where
they
were
healed
:
slaues
where
they
were
freed
:
lost
where
they
were
before
quitte
by
the
gospell
of
grace
,
and
made
Christ
vnprofitable
vnto
them
:
where
they
fought
well
before
,
yet
now
to
flee
;
where
they
●anne
wel
before
,
yet
now
to
stand
:
where
they
were
in
the
spirit
,
yet
nowe
to
end
in
the
fleshe
:
where
they
had
,
yet
nowe
to
loose
the
faith
of
Christ
our
sauiour
.
Which
their
miserable
con●ition
the
Apostle
pondering
with
himselfe
,
how
●ttended
to
their
destruction
,
&
to
the
disglory
of
God
:
(
whose
gospell
was
despised
that
way
for
vntrueth
,
and
the
blood
of
Christ
was
like
●o
bee
of
no
profite
vnto
them
)
it
did
so
grieue
●im
on
the
one
side
to
see
their
p●teous
estate
,
&
●eale
on
the
other
side
did
so
eate
him
vp
,
to
see
●he
glorious
gospel
of
peace
so
trod
in
the
dust
,
●hat
he
burst
out
in
these
words
which
I
haue
●ead
vnto
you
,
Would
to
god
they
were
cut
off
●hat
so
disquiet
you
,
as
if
he
shuld
haue
said
:
O
Galathians
,
I
begot
you
in
the
faith
,
&
should
be
your
father
:
I
brought
you
to
the
light
,
an●
should
bee
your
starre
:
I
haue
taught
you
the
truth
,
and
should
be
your
master
:
and
whereas
the
Church
is
an
espoused
virgin
to
one
husband
,

Wherein
wee
may
see
both
what
he
●sheth
to
the
false
Apostles
&
therin
their
esta●
as
also
the
cause
of
his
wish
.
He
wisheth
t●
were
cut
off
:
cut
off
from
the
people
of
Gala●
cut
off
from
the
company
of
them
:
cut
off
fr●
the
number
of

before

such
goodly

as
he
had
planted
,
Apol●
had

and
God
himselfe
had
blessed
Galatia
.
O
terrible
wish
to
proceede
from
Apostle
,
to
wish
their
death
and
damnation
yet
ô
wish
no
lesse
iust

to

that

iustifie

saue
the

:
yet
touchi●
the
categoricall
and

(
whereabout

I
find
it

therfore
be
iustified

But
here
again
they
except
,
that
then
god
h●
commanded
things
impossible
.
Wherunto
I
●swere
,
that
as
for
the
impossibility
of
the
comandement
,
it
is
no
matter
of
absurdity
:
●
it
is
a
point
of
the
catholicke
verity
taught
scriptures
,
to
be
confessed
by
all
:
the
Apo●
S.
Peter
in
the
15.
of
the
Acts
doth
witn●
no
lesse
,
and
our
aduersaries
themselues
d●
say
no
lesse
:
but
here
again
they
except
,
tha●
〈◊〉
the
place
of
S.
Peter
,
it
concerneth
points
the
law
ceremoniall
,
which
was
but
a
Law
●mporall
:
but
as
for
good
woorkes
they
are
●ties
of
the
Law
moral
,
that
bindes
al
men
&
●al
ages
,
so
that
if
the
duty
therof
and
therein
●
God
of
vs
exacted
,
were
impossible
,
God
●ere
proued
a
cruel
&
rigorous
God
.
Where●●to
I
aunswere
first
,
that
touching
the
per●●tualnes
or
temporalnes
of
the
commaun●ment
,
that
is
nothing
,
whence
the
impossi●●enesse
is
graunted
for

:

I
answere

for
the
duties
of
the

,
though
●ey
binde
perpetually
and
yet
bee
impossible
be
performed
by
the
Godly

yet
is
not
God

proued
a
cruel

rigorous
god
,
but
〈◊〉
:

cause
he
demaundeth
nothing
but
his
due

?
Yea
what
mans
conscience
calleth
duty
&
●●nfesseth
to
bee
due
:
now
to
aske
nothing
but

:
yea
what
man
cannot
but
confesse
to
bee
●e
,
that
is
no
cruelty
,
no
rigor
but
iustice
:
●d
therefore
to
answere
more
fully
:
as
for
the
●ties
of
the
lawe
morall
,
God
asketh
therein
thing
but
what
man
should
performe
.
Ther●e
nothing
but
duety
:
yea
nothing

what

:
nothing
therefore
but

yea
nothing

possible
dutie
:
which

now
hee
cannot
performe

and
there●re
now
findes
the
law
impossible
,
that
is
because
when
he
could
&
therfore
had
possibility
〈◊〉
performe
it
,
yet
he
would
not
:
so
that
that
i●possibility
argueth
not
Gods
cruelty

rigou●
but
iustice
on

part

on

our

Nay
their

Hugo

saith

Wherefore
to

all

apologies
in

it
is
flat
in

that

(
as
Salomon
speaks
)
be
not

〈◊〉
hath
euen
at
this
verie
houre
moued
the

of
the

who

〈◊〉
hope
to

at
our
peace
&
plenty
,
our

and
prosperity
in

:
or
that
cause
seek
not
onely
abroad
to
troble
●r
brethren
,
but
euen
at
home
to
set
Caine
to

his

vpon
Abel
:
yea
to
store
our
land
●th
troble
where
there
is
quietnes
:
with
war
●ere
there
is
peace
:
with
scarcenes
,
where

is
plenty
:
with
teares
where
there
is
ioy
:
〈◊〉
to
store
and
streame
our

with
the
●od
of
olde
and
young
,
man
,
woman
&
childe
●ong
vs
:
yea
to
take
away
the
course
of
gods
●y
word
from
vs
:
and
to
make
this
our
land
●lace
for
that
owle
of
Rome
,
that
nowe
is
a
●ce
for
the
tal
tree
of
christ
,
wherin
the
fouls
the
aire
doe
build
their
nestes
&
quietly
rest
,
●
would
to
God
they
were
cut
off
that
thus
●e
seeke
to
molest
you
:
yea
oh
would
to
God
●y
were
cut
off
that
thus
disquiet
you
.
Not
●t
you
neede
(
deare
beloued
)
to
fear
the
force
flesh
whatsoeuer
:
not
that
this
woorld
shall
●t
you
,
though
it
neuer
so
deepely
hate
you
:
●not
Satan
that
prince
of
hel
,
that
god
of
this
●●rld
(
for
God
hath
numbered
the
verie
hairs
〈◊〉
your
heades
:
hee
hath
care
ouer
a
sparrow
,
●ch
more
ouer
you
:
)
but
because
wee
coulde
wish
that
the
gospel
of
christ
might
still
run
●mong
you
:
that
mother
Rachel
might
enio●
this
her
comfortable
daie
with
you
:
that
h●
children
might
quietly
sucke
vpon
her
brests
that
neither
Herod
nor
antichrist
might
d●quiet
them
:
that
so
the
trueth
of
Christ
mig●●
triumph
,
and
the
diuel
of
Rome
be
stil
trod
●
the
dust
,
to
your
great
ioy
heere
,
&
to
your
pe●petuall
safetie
hereafter
:
in
which
respect
as
beegan
,
so
for
this
time
I
conclude
and
ma●
an
end
:
I
would
to
God
they
were
cut
off
th●
doe
disquiet
you
.
Cut
off
from
your
compan●
cut
off
from
your
congregations
:
cut
off
fro●
the
land
:
cut
off
&
not
permitted
by
foolish
p●tie
and
charity
;
yea
cut
off
vtterly
and
curs●
euerlastingly
before
they
should
either
by
●resy
corrupt
you
,
or
by
violence
&
force
ban●
the
truth
of
christ
from
amongest
you
:
rath●
then
either
of
these
should
fal
out
,
I
saie
it
a●
saie
it
again
and
again
,
and
that
with
chari●
obiect
what
they
please
:
oh
would
to
God
th●
were
cut
off
that
do
disquiet
you
.
Oh
the●fore
that
Papistes
were
cut
off
from
the
la●
for
they
are
the
traiterous
and
tirannous
●●rits
of
this
our
time
,
who
haue
&
stil
do
seek
disquiet
you
.
God
therefore
look
vpon
vs
w●
the
eie
of
his
fauour
,
&
deliuer
vs
from
the●
And
sound
your
Amen
to
this
conclusion
.
