be_v weak_a there_o be_v so_o much_o weakness_n and_o earthiness_n and_o frailty_n sometime_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v right_a for_o god_n yet_o his_o head_n ache_v or_o his_o stomach_n be_v full_a of_o

isaiah_n write_v be_v gospel_n he_o be_v a_o evangelicall_n prophet_n and_o in_o that_o description_n there_o be_v these_o thing_n first_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o great_a humiliation_n they_o

the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o he_o have_v see_v god_n and_o so_o here_o john_n when_o he_o have_v see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n he_o write_v to_o they_o he_o deliver_v the_o message_n to_o they_o and_o he_o will_v bring_v they_o also_o to_o the_o light_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o he_o do_v belove_a a_o man_n that_o have_v see_v god_n once_o true_o he_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o world_n as_o people_n walk_v in_o hell_n in_o a_o hell_n of_o darkness_n the_o course_n of_o mankind_n in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o as_o a_o hell_n to_o he_o therefore_o to_o see_v people_n walk_v in_o such_o gross_a darkness_n and_o god_n have_v break_v in_o a_o little_a window_n into_o his_o soul_n he_o can_v choose_v but_o bring_v other_o to_o the_o light_n therefore_o i_o never_o

that_o profess_v they_o see_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o light_n and_o they_o see_v god_n more_o than_o other_o and_o yet_o for_o the_o expression_n of_o it_o we_o see_v they_o withdraw_v and_o go_v

let_v we_o teach_v one_o another_o any_o how_o so_o we_o may_v edify_v one_o another_o in_o the_o lord_n public_o or_o private_o but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n in_o people_n that_o they_o will_v not_o communicate_v the_o light_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v that_o other_o poor_a sinner_n may_v see_v it_o i_o suspect_v that_o light_n that_o it_o be_v not_o from_o god_n for_o

that_o in_o scripture_n be_v so_o call_v when_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v humble_a it_o be_v a_o grace_n that_o be_v never_o away_o from_o a_o saint_n we_o shall_v be_v clothe_v with_o it_o as_o

difference_n in_o the_o work_n of_o humiliation_n and_o other_o grace_n observe_n that_o every_o other_o grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o a_o kind_n of_o assimilation_n but_o this_o be_v wrought_v in_o a_o contrary_a way_n i_o mean_v thus_o by_o behold_v the_o strength_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n my_o soul_n be_v make_v strong_a by_o behold_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o

i_o shall_v open_v to_o you_o which_o be_v a●ight_n use_v 2._o trial_n if_o we_o have_v see_v god_n a●ight_n the_o main_a shall_v be_v to_o show_v you_o a_o way_n how_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o ever_o you_o have_v thus_o see_v god_n it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a phrase_n in_o john_n his_o epistle_n such_o a_o man_n have_v not_o see_v god_n he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n have_v not_o see_v

that_o they_o shall_v have_v in_o heaven_n but_o only_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n but_o true_o they_o have_v here_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n they_o do_v see_v god_n as_o true_o though_o not_o

have_v you_o be_v true_o humble_v that_o will_v follow_v for_o the_o right_a sight_n of_o god_n make_v a_o man_n humiliation_n by_o our_o humiliation_n cry_v out_o woe_n be_v i_o for_o i_o be_o undo_v now_o the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o this_o grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o our_o heart_n in_o you_o and_o i_o whether_o we_o be_v right_o humble_v and_o that_o you_o may_v know_v by_o two_o way_n in_o general_a the_o one_o by_o your_o carriage_n towards_o god_n know_v true_a humiliation_n may_v be_v know_v the_o other_o by_o your_o carriage_n to_o your_o brethren_n you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o your_o carriage_n to_o god_n in_o these_o five_o thing_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n justify_v grace_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o truth_n that_o be_v make_v god_n by_o our_o carriage_n to_o god_n know_v to_o you_o three_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o commandment_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o you_o four_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o correction_n five_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o mercy_n now_o to_o open_v these_o to_o you_o i_o say_v that_o every_o saint_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v by_o humiliation_n i_o tell_v you_o i_o mean_v not_o a_o preparatorie_n humiliation_n as_o some_o justification_n in_o our_o justification_n of_o our_o divine_n say_v or_o a_o after_o humiliation_n but_o the_o grace_n of_o humiliation_n that_o be_v always_o in_o every_o saint_n and_o that_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o as_o other_o grace_n as_o meekness_n and_o joy_n and_o love_n and_o goodness_n and_o the_o like_a now_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v thus_o humble_v the_o first_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o ever_o god_n have_v bring_v thou_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n 1._o by_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n christ_n for_o justification_n that_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o chief_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v in_o rom._n 10._o 3._o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n righteousness_n and_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n they_o have_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n now_o whether_o have_v the_o lord_n ever_o bring_v thou_o to_o a_o full_a despair_n of_o ever_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n or_o of_o get_v any_o favour_n from_o he_o or_o of_o salvation_n by_o any_o good_a that_o be_v in_o thou_o or_o have_v be_v do_v by_o thou_o or_o any_o hope_n that_o thou_o shall_v have_v any_o good_a or_o do_v any_o good_a i_o say_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v true_o humble_v thou_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o and_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a thing_n because_o that_o a_o man_n be_v more_o prone_a to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o his_o sin_n &_o a_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n then_o to_o his_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o bring_v twenty_o man_n from_o their_o sin_n than_o one_o man_n from_o his_o righteousness_n simile_n why_o man_n be_v natural_o prone_a to_o cleave_v to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n simile_n the_o ground_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v that_o liquor_n that_o be_v first_o put_v into_o we_o the_o liquor_n that_o be_v put_v into_o a_o vessel_n first_o that_o stick_v long_o and_o have_v a_o deep_a impression_n and_o keep_v the_o taste_n long_o if_o it_o be_v vinegar_n or_o wine_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v put_v in_o a_o new_a barrel_n now_o god_n make_v we_o first_o righteous_a afterward_o we_o seek_v out_o many_o invention_n after_o we_o fall_v therefore_o it_o be_v more_o natural_a to_o we_o to_o be_v righteous_a in_o some_o fashion_n with_o some_o fashion_a righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o be_v sinful_a and_o a_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o be_v more_o trouble_v with_o it_o and_o more_o endanger_v by_o it_o a_o thousand_o fold_n then_o by_o his_o sin_n for_o true_o sin_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o feverish_a distemper_n in_o a_o man_n he_o be_v many_o time_n what_o sin_z what_o draw_v to_o drunkenness_n and_o to_o whoredom_n but_o take_v a_o carnal_a man_n when_o he_o be_v best_o his_o own_o man_n he_o approove_v righteousness_n better_o than_o sin_n so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v righteousness_n he_o aim_v at_o and_o he_o will_v commend_v a_o preacher_n that_o will_v have_v he_o leave_v sin_n rather_o than_o one_o that_o will_v help_v he_o on_o in_o it_o so_o that_o its_o a_o principle_n more_o root_v in_o man_n heart_n to_o be_v righteous_a then_o to_o be_v sinful_a but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n remember_v that_o it_o be_v but_o that_o a_o man_n will_v get_v up_o he_o will_v repair_v that_o shatter_a and_o tear_v righteousness_n that_o once_o be_v in_o he_o by_o adam_n that_o a_o man_n be_v more_o prone_a to_o though_o by_o sin_n by_o a_o feverish_a distemper_n he_o be_v oft_o carry_v from_o that_o but_o none_o be_v so_o far_o carry_v but_o he_o follow_v it_o in_o some_o measure_n and_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o lord_n have_v whole_o bring_v thou_o from_o that_o righteousness_n to_o submit_v another_o to_o be_v content_a with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o whole_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o that_o be_v the_o first_o expression_n whereby_o i_o shall_v demonstrate_v it_o whether_o a_o man_n be_v

thou_o be_v come_v to_o this_o than_o thou_o be_v a_o humble_a man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a point_n of_o humility_n for_o at_o man_n to_o stoop_v to_o another_o ro_o be_v behold_v to_o another_o for_o a_o thing_n when_o he_o think_v that_o he_o have_v one_o that_o be_v good_a of_o his_o own_o now_o for_o i_o to_o leave_v my_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o go_v and_o seek_v a_o

humble_a heart_n let_v the_o world_n say_v what_o it_o will_v here_o be_v the_o main_a point_n of_o humiliation_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v not_o whine_v and_o cry_v and_o howl_v wicked_a man_n and_o proud_a man_n may_v do_v this_o and_o be_v roar_v and_o damn_v themselves_o and_o the_o like_a the_o devil_n may_v do_v so_o that_o have_v no_o true_a humiliation_n but_o here_o be_v true_a humiliation_n for_o a_o man_n to_o deny_v his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o embrace_v humble_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o say_v to_o be_v content_a whole_o and_o full_o with_o it_o that_o as_o one_o godly_a man_n say_v god_n at_o the_o first_o put_v a_o great_a stock_n of_o righteousness_n in_o adam_n hand_n to_o simile_n simile_n trade_n with_o he_o make_v he_o a_o righteous_a man_n and_o when_o adam_n fall_v god_n take_v away_o his_o stock_n and_o god_n say_v he_o shall_v never_o trade_v and_o set_v up_o shop_n more_o god_n have_v a_o way_n indeed_o to_o do_v he_o good_a but_o he_o shall_v never_o set_v up_o shop_n again_o we_o will_v set_v up_o shop_n and_o trade_n as_o adam_n do_v there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n though_o his_o righteousness_n be_v never_o so_o little_a but_o he_o will_v rather_o go_v with_o that_o portion_n of_o a_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o then_o submit_v to_o the_o glorious_a righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n therefore_o i_o say_v this_o be_v it_o whether_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v thy_o spirit_n to_o be_v humble_a that_o thou_o be_v content_a to_o be_v a_o fool_n
and_o catch_v at_o that_o thy_o brother_n benhadad_n be_v alive_a so_o we_o come_v with_o rope_n about_o our_o neck_n poor_a damn_a creature_n and_o god_n come_v in_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o make_v

show_v a_o humble_a heart_n therefore_o examine_v if_o this_o be_v so_o with_o thou_o fourthlie_o a_o humble_a heart_n in_o matter_n of_o justification_n it_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o as_o it_o be_v content_a to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n in_o another_o righteousness_n 4._o to_o renounce_v our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o second_o to_o hold_v it_o upon_o a_o bare_a word_n if_o god_n

it_o be_v righteous_a and_o just_a with_o god_n to_o save_v we_o because_o we_o be_v righteous_a person_n mistake_v i_o not_o i_o say_v every_o poor_a saint_n through_o christ_n be_v a_o righteous_a

that_o his_o son_n have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v free_v now_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o three_o way_n first_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o mat._n 17._o compare_v with_o

christ_n be_v out_o of_o prison_n satisfy_v be_v by_o suffering_n jesus_n christ_n after_o he_o be_v arrest_v and_o in_o prison_n for_o our_o debt_n for_o christ_n be_v in_o prison_n for_o our_o

now_o the_o father_n let_v he_o out_o that_o be_v the_o father_n suffer_v he_o to_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a therefore_o we_o find_v that_o our_o justification_n be_v lay_v more_o upon_o the_o

all_o be_v clear_a three_o and_o last_o i_o know_v god_n the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v heaven_n 3_o christ_n be_v go_v into_o heaven_n for_o the_o law_n it_o be_v god_n the_o father_n writ_n that_o

that_o honour_n and_o respect_n in_o heaven_n as_o to_o come_v and_o sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v not_o a_o break_n of_o prison_n but_o a_o real_a pay_v of_o the_o debt_n

a_o blind_a man_n as_o it_o be_v have_v a_o hypocrite_n have_v they_o but_o it_o be_v a_o powerful_a light_n that_o god_n light_n saint_n have_v a_o powerful_a light_n put_v in_o for_o we_o do_v

as_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o any_o good_a or_o from_o any_o evil_n they_o will_v talk_v of_o drunkenness_n and_o whoredom_n and_o the_o like_a but_o have_v not_o power_n to_o bring_v they_o off_o from_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n indeed_o a_o saint_n may_v be_v overcome_v of_o his_o lust_n that_o war_n in_o his_o member_n but_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o his_o mind●_n that_o be_v there_o be_v
