difference_n i_o mean_v doctrinal_a in_o this_o place_n i_o do_v see_v it_o become_v a_o man_n of_o his_o wit_n and_o large_a conscience_n to_o perceive_v it_o who_o can_v make_v and_o fling_v dixt_v

head_n and_o brief_o raise_v my_o argument_n thereon_o 1._o christ_n most_o positive_a exclusion_n of_o all_o from_o any_o portion_n in_o god_n kingdom_n who_o be_v not_o bear_v again_o in_o answer_n to_o nicodemus_n his_o carnal_a conceit_n of_o the_o impossibility_n of_o a_o old_a man_n enter_v a_o second_o time_n into_o his_o mother_n womb._n 2._o that_o the_o birth_n which_o all_o such_o as_o will_v inhererit_v god_n kingdom_n shall_v be_v witness_n of_o be_v and_o be_v the_o birth_n of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n upon_o which_o i_o thus_o proceed_v to_o argue_v if_o none_o can_v inherit_v god_n holy_a kingdom_n but_o those_o who_o be_v regenerate_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n than_o none_o can_v inherit_v god_n holy_a kingdom_n but_o such_o as_o be_v cleanse_v by_o water_n and_o teach_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o god_n holy_a spirit_n the_o first_o none_o can_v deny_v that_o own_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o very_a verse_n quote_v the_o second_o i_o evident_o prove_v thus_o if_o water_n and_o spirit_n be_v the_o only_a operative_a to_o regeneration_n and_o regeneration_n the_o alone_a way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n then_o can_v no_o man_n inherit_v god_n kingdom_n that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v neither_o can_v any_o man_n be_v regenerate_v that_o be_v not_o wash_v by_o the_o water_n of_o life_n beget_v work_v

beget_v i_o prove_v no_o man_n can_v live_v move_v sensate_a or_o act_v but_o from_o the_o original_a heat_n life_n motion_n and_o action_n of_o that_o which_o do_v beget_v he_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o which_o beget_v be_v convey_v to_o the_o beget_v true_o render_v he_o beget_v or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o every_o regenerate_a man_n be_v the_o beget_v of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n so_o far_o as_o concern_v his_o renovation_n or_o regeneration_n therefore_o every_o such_o regenerate_v man_n be_v and_o be_v lead_v motion_v and_o act_v by_o that_o eternal_a spirit_n which_o beget_v he_o and_o consequent_o the_o saint_n which_o be_v the_o regenerate_v be_v not_o leave_v destitute_a of_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n judge_n rule_n and_o guide_n

the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n or_o most_o infallible_a spirit_n be_v god_n gift_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o gospel_n time_n to_o abide_v with_o they_o forever_o then_o be_v they_o accompany_v with_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n but_o we_o see_v the_o plain_a text_n prove_v that_o god_n give_v his_o spirit_n of_o truth_n to_o his_o servant_n that_o they_o may_v be_v assist_v in_o all_o their_o want_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o without_o such_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o our_o adversary_n be_v more_o to_o blame_v to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o guidance_n of_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n which_o be_v so_o consonant_a with_o the_o express_a letter_n of_o a_o multitude_n of_o scripture_n passage_n than_o we_o be_v because_o we_o credit_v g._n f._n upon_o conviction_n and_o if_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o unless_o we_o believe_v what_o our_o eye_n see_v of_o contradiction_n as_o he_o pretend_v by_o he_o collect_v out_o of_o g._n f_n book_n that_o he_o will_v not_o believe_v whatever_o we_o shall_v say_v or_o affirm_v we_o may_v on_o much_o better_a ground_n conclude_v never_o to_o believe_v what_o he_o assert_n and_o whole_o to_o decline_v write_v or_o speak_v to_o he_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n if_o hereafter_o he_o will_v dare_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o belief_n of_o so_o anti-scriptural_a and_o anti-gospel_n a_o apprehension_n as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a spirit_n to_o guide_v man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v as_o express_v and_o evident_a from_o many_o naked_a text_n of_o scripture_n as_o that_o god_n be_v truth_n else_o never_o do_v any_o write_v more_o delude_v mankind_n because_o none_o can_v be_v more_o particular_a and_o plain_a in_o the_o promise_n and_o allowance_n of_o it_o but_o let_v god_n and_o his_o

of_o truth_n be_v the_o reason_n render_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n why_o the_o world_n receive_v it_o not_o then_o may_v we_o most_o just_o infer_v that_o they_o never_o see_v it_o neither_o know_v it_o but_o be_v of_o the_o world_n who_o can_v receive_v it_o but_o write_v against_o it_o in_o reference_n to_o its_o great_a office_n viz._n of_o be_v the_o saint_n teacher_n leader_n and_o comforter_n and_o indeed_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o some_o visible_a elementary_a thing_n that_o may_v be_v see_v by_o their_o outward_a eye_n and_o be_v comprehend_v by_o their_o dark_a

enjoyment_n of_o the_o high_a glory_n therefore_o they_o disregard_n it_o as_o contemptible_a and_o disbelieve_v it_o as_o incredible_a 3._o if_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o saint_n knowledge_n of_o

consequent_o they_o be_v attend_v with_o a_o infallible_a guide_n within_o they_o 4._o if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v not_o leave_v they_o comfortless_o but_o though_o visible_o with-drawn_a yet_o in_o a_o more_o spiritual_a and_o invisible_a manner_n will_v come_v to_o they_o again_o and_o that_o at_o that_o day_n they_o shall_v know_v that_o he_o be_v in_o his_o father_n they_o in_o he_o
