Now he that is of God, heareth the word of God. John. viij. and who is 1of God, but he that hath the spirit of God? Furthermore (saith he) ye hear it not, because ye are not of God, that is, ye have no lust in the word of God, for ye understand it not, & that because his spirit is not in you.
Now he that is of God, heareth the word of God. Iohn. viij. and who is 1of God, but he that hath the spirite of God? Furthermore (sayth he) ye heare it not, because ye are not of God, that is, ye haue no lust in the word of God, for ye vnderstand it not, & that because his spirite is not in you.
For as much then as the Scripture is no thing else, but that which the spirit 1of GOD hath spoken by the Prophets and Apostles, & can not be understand, but of the same spirit: Let every man pray to God, to send him his spirit to loose him from his natural blindness and ignorance, and to give him understanding, and feeling of the things of God, & of the speaking of the spirit of GOD. And mark this process. First we are damned of nature, so conceived and borne, as a Serpent is a Serpent, and a toad a toad, & a snake a snake by nature. And as thou •eest a young child, which hath pleasure in many things wherein is present death, as in fire, water and so forth, would slay him self with a thousand deaths, if he were not waited upon, and kept therefrom. Even so we, if we should live these thousand years could in all that time delight in no other thing, nor yet seek any other thing, but that wherein is death of the soul.
