and_o i_o find_v that_o one_o part_n proceed_v from_o that_o which_o christ_n say_v that_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o

can_v except_o he_o set_v himself_o purposely_o thereto_o make_v show_v offaith_o confidence_n or_o love_n and_o because_o he_o who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n have_v in_o his_o heart_n piety_n faith_n confidence_n and_o love_n and_o have_v to_o give_v of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v it_o be_v necessary_a how_o careless_a soever_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v yield_v forth_o piety_n faith_n confidence_n and_o love_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v the_o just_a man_n mouth_n a_o vein_n or_o i_o of_o life_n and_o i_o find_v likewise_o that_o the_o other_o part_n of_o these_o contrariety_n proceed_v from_o this_o that_o the_o man_n who_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n because_o he_o keep_v no_o account_n with_o his_o heart_n then_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v confidence_n and_o that_o he_o love_v when_o he_o have_v the_o faith_n the_o confidence_n and_o the_o love_n in_o his_o understanding_n he_o know_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o christian_a that_o he_o shall_v believe_v have_v confidence_n and_o love_n and_o then_o he_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o believe_v have_v confidence_n and_o love_n and_o the_o person_n who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o keep_v account_n with_o their_o heart_n not_o content_v themselves_o to_o hold_v the_o faith_n the_o confidence_n and_o the_o love_n in_o their_o understanding_n can_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o believe_v have_v confidence_n or_o love_n but_o when_o they_o feel_v in_o their_o heart_n the_o effect_n of_o confidence_n and_o love_n and_o because_o this_o sentiment_n be_v through_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n who_o give_v it_o not_o when_o man_n will_v but_o when_o it_o please_v his_o divine_a majesty_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o those_o person_n who_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v then_o find_v most_o difficulty_n in_o believe_v love_a and_o have_v confidence_n when_o they_o do_v most_o instant_o procure_v it_o whence_o it_o be_v well_o gather_v that_o the_o sign_n of_o what_o a_o man_n have_v within_o he_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o that_o which_o he_o show_v outward_o when_o he_o stand_v regardless_o and_o far_o that_o through_o the_o facility_n or_o difficulty_n with_o which_o a_o man_n persuade_v himself_o to_o believe_v have_v confidence_n and_o love_n it_o may_v be_v know_v whether_o his_o faith_n confidence_n and_o love_n stand_v in_o the_o understanding_n or_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o this_o conclusion_n be_v make_v that_o they_o who_o while_o they_o think_v not_o of_o it_o speak_v

in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o that_o be_v of_o a_o man_n which_o he_o have_v apply_v himself_o unto_o they_o when_o they_o offer_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o as_o the_o

have_v for_o his_o principal_a intent_n be_v his_o own_o proper_a interest_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o man_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o person_n that_o be_v altogether_o

the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o piety_n and_o it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o one_o estrange_v from_o piety_n shall_v preach_v christ_n and_o shall_v not_o exercise_v himself_o in_o piety_n because_o his_o principal_a intent_n will_v be_v his_o proper_a glory_n and_o his_o proper_a interest_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o

that_o the_o great_a of_o all_o other_o be_v those_o privilege_n which_o they_o enjoy_v which_o have_v piety_n which_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o be_v communicate_v to_o the_o

do_v not_o approve_v the_o first_o among_o some_o true_a thing_n which_o they_o believe_v believe_v many_o false_a and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o give_v much_o more_o credit_n to_o the_o

themselves_o from_o deceit_n in_o false_a thing_n and_o so_o they_o go_v leave_v there_o moreover_o i_o find_v that_o the_o second_o by_o the_o selfsame_o spirit_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v communicate_v unto_o they_o be_v certify_v in_o the_o true_a thing_n by_o which_o certification_n they_o fortify_v themselves_o in_o believe_v the_o true_a thing_n and_o in_o not_o believe_v the_o false_a thing_n in_o such_o manner_n that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n enter_v into_o two_o person_n one_o very_o easy_a to_o believe_v and_o the_o other_o very_o difficult_a it_o put_v they_o in_o that_o estate_n that_o the_o one_o combat_n with_o his_o own_o self_n labour_v to_o drive_v out_o of_o his_o mind_n those_o falsity_n which_o with_o much_o facility_n he_o have_v be_v persuade_v and_o the_o other_o combat_n with_o himself_o labour_v to_o certify_v himself_o in_o those_o true_a thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o believe_v by_o the_o relation_n of_o man_n both_o these_o person_n labour_n but_o i_o hold_v for_o better_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v hard_o to_o believe_v then_o of_o he_o that_o be_v easy_a and_o that_o for_o three_o cause_n principal_o the_o first_o because_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o believe_v the_o truth_n whereunto_o the_o haul_v spirit_n help_v and_o many_o other_o thing_n help_v then_o to_o believe_v a_o lie_n which_o superstition_n &_o many_o other_o thing_n hinder_v from_o the_o second_o because_o the_o person_n who_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v may_v with_o ease_n be_v deceive_v and_o he_o that_o be_v hard_a suffer_v himself_o hardly_o to_o be_v deceive_v and_o the_o three_o because_o the_o person_n that_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v rest_v many_o day_n in_o error_n as_o they_o rest_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n that_o be_v convert_v from_o judaism_n to_o christian_a religion_n and_o he_o that_o be_v hard_a remain_v free_a from_o all_o false_a opinion_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o only_o believe_v that_o which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n teach_v he_o whereupon_o i_o resolve_v myself_o that_o without_o any_o comparison_n that_o estate_n be_v better_a in_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n set_v the_o person_n hard_o to_o believe_v when_o it_o begin_v to_o instruct_v he_o then_o that_o in_o which_o it_o set_v that_o person_n who_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v together_o with_o this_o i_o
