every_o year_n of_o thy_o whole_a life_n for_o that_o conscience_n that_o shall_v rest_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o live_a god_n that_o conscience_n ●hich_v must_v ever_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o

&_o examine_v yourselves_o every_o one_o of_o you_o ought_v to_o try_v and_o examine_v your_o conscience_n in_o two_o thing_n first_o whether_o thou_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n who_o be_v the_o

which_o be_v always_o unclean_a that_o be_v every_o way_n defile_v no_o he_o can_v now_o i_o speak_v not_o so_o precise_o that_o i_o make_v a_o soul_n to_o be_v full_o sanctify_v and_o perfect_o holy_a in_o this_o life_n no_o in_o this_o life_n there_o be_v wonderful_a iniquity_n gross_a sin_n and_o great_a fault_n wherewith_o even_o the_o righteous_a be_v defile_v but_o this_o be_v my_o

holy_a for_o god_n can_v make_v residence_n in_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v always_o as_o a_o stink_a dunghill_n and_o therefore_o of_o force_n in_o some_o measure_n it_o must_v be_v sanctify_v there_o must_v be_v so_o much_o make_v clean_o in_o one_o corner_n or_o other_o of_o that_o soul_n wherein_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n may_v make_v his_o residence_n now_o let_v we_o see_v whereby_o the_o heart_n be_v sanctify_v peter_n act._n 15.9_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n that_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v purge_v by_o faith_n so_o faith_n open_v and_o purge_v the_o heart_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o blood_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 5.1_o now_o than_o this_o point_n come_v in_o that_o you_o be_v to_o prove_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o not_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2._o cor._n 13.5_o prove_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n examine_v if_o your_o soul_n be_v season_v with_o this_o

of_o the_o reprobate_n and_o damn_a so_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o look_v careful_o and_o see_v if_o he_o have_v a_o belief_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o whether_o he_o believe_v to_o

god_n by_o reason_n our_o peace_n with_o god_n be_v engender_v and_o grow_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o by_o true_a faith_n in_o christ._n now_o this_o faith_n where_o it_o be_v true_a where_o it_o be_v lively_a and_o couple_n the_o heart_n with_o god_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v it_o must_v break_v forth_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n it_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v hold_v in_o but_o it_o will_v break_v forth_o it_o must_v break_v out_o in_o word_n in_o glorify_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n who_o have_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n it_o must_v break_v forth_o in_o word_n by_o give_v a_o

be_v within_o thy_o heart_n to_o testify_v to_o the_o world_n that_o thou_o who_o have_v this_o faith_n be_v a_o new_a man_n that_o by_o thy_o good_a example_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n thou_o

thy_o conversation_n be_v good_a it_o be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o thou_o be_v at_o one_o with_o god_n but_o if_o thy_o conversation_n be_v not_o good_a speak_v what_o thou_o will_v thy_o heart_n be_v but_o defile_v this_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n have_v no_o place_n in_o it_o then_o will_v thou_o know_v when_o thou_o be_v at_o one_o with_o god_n when_o thy_o conversation_n thy_o heart_n and_o thy_o mouth_n say_v all_o one_o thing_n then_o without_o question_n thou_o have_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n wrought_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o thy_o heart_n which_o make_v thou_o to_o

you_o will_v find_v it_o the_o more_o worthy_a of_o praise_n i_o be_o sorry_a in_o my_o heart_n that_o our_o disposition_n be_v so_o evil_a that_o we_o can_v praise_v he_o as_o we_o will_v yet_o

of_o christ_n then_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o secret_a and_o a_o spiritual_a conjunction_n you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o inquisitive_a of_o this_o conjunction_n if_o it_o be_v corporal_a visible_a or_o

which_o serve_v to_o make_v this_o conjunction_n very_o clear_a namely_o the_o conjunction_n betwixt_o the_o word_n which_o i_o speak_v and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o that_o same_o word_n as_o if_o i_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o thing_n in_o this_o language_n which_o you_o understand_v be_v it_o of_o thing_n past_a though_o never_o so_o long_o since_o of_o thing_n to_o come_v though_o never_o

itself_o will_v come_v into_o your_o mind_n the_o word_n be_v hear_v no_o soon_o by_o your_o ear_n but_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o same_o word_n come_v into_o your_o mind_n what_o make_v the_o thing_n signify_v though_o absent_a to_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n this_o can_v not_o be_v except_o there_o be_v a_o conjunction_n between_o the_o word_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o word_n as_o for_o example_n if_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o king_n who_o be_v now_o a_o great_a way_n distant_a from_o we_o i_o pray_v god_n bless_v he_o you_o will_v no_o soon_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o

that_o bread_n take_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o minister_n thou_o see_v it_o not_o so_o soon_o but_o incontinent_a the_o body_n of_o christ_n must_v come_v into_o thy_o mind_n these_o two_o be_v so_o conjoin_v that_o they_o come_v both_o together_o the_o one_o to_o the_o outward_a sense_n the_o other_o to_o the_o inward_a sense_n this_o be_v not_o enough_o now_o because_o in_o the_o

be_v apply_v christ_n unto_o your_o soul_n so_o you_o see_v there_o be_v a_o conjunction_n here_o secret_a and_o mystical_a and_o therefore_o christ_n can_v be_v conjoin_v but_o by_o a_o secret_a and_o mystical_a conjunction_n the_o conjunction_n between_o christ_n and_o we_o be_v a_o secret_a and_o mystical_a conjunction_n which_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o five_o of_o the_o ephes._n call_v that_o spiritual_a conjunction_n full_a of_o a_o high_a mystery_n this_o conjunction_n can_v be_v take_v up_o at_o the_o first_o so_o see_v the_o conjunction_n be_v secret_a and_o spiritual_a and_o

the_o body_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n these_o speech_n be_v sacramental_a yet_o you_o be_v not_o the_o wise_a but_o i_o will_v make_v it_o plain_a by_o god_n grace_n they_o be_v

to_o the_o soul_n by_o a_o translation_n by_o a_o figurative_a manner_n of_o speak_v that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o body_n be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o

we_o may_v begin_v to_o be_v new_a creature_n in_o christ_n jesus_n of_o this_o knowledge_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n be_v reverence_v and_o his_o praise_n be_v sound_v for_o it_o be_v

where_o they_o be_v best_a know_v there_o be_v worst_a love_v but_o god_n by_o the_o contrary_a where_o he_o be_v best_o know_v he_o be_v best_o love_v and_o this_o love_n of_o god_n can_v never_o be_v idle_a but_o it_o must_v burst_v forth_o into_o his_o praise_n so_o these_o two_o be_v join_v together_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n bring_v knowledge_n which_o knowledge_n be_v helpefull_a to_o

have_v our_o large_a part_n yea_o to_o omit_v all_o the_o rest_n i_o think_v though_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o delivery_n past_a it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o move_v the_o

but_o a_o curse_n upon_o our_o own_o person_n and_o therefore_o my_o exhortation_n be_v now_o as_o then_o that_o with_o such_o heart_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o sound_v his_o praise_n for_o this_o great_a delivery_n the_o thankful_a memory_n of_o this_o last_o benefit_n shall_v be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o purchase_v the_o next_o therefore_o with_o thankful_a heart_n let_v we_o praise_v he_o and_o where_o they_o be_v not_o so_o dispose_v as_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o benefit_n require_v let_v we_o beg_v mercy_n for_o our_o evil_n dispose_v heart_n let_v we_o desire_v pardon_n for_o our_o unprepared_a heart_n and_o wish_v that_o it_o will_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o sanctify_v they_o further_o and_o further_o to_o his_o own_o praise_n that_o be_v cover_v with_o his_o merciful_a protection_n we_o may_v at_o all_o time_n rest_v under_o his_o wing_n and_o safeguard_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o assail_v the_o enemy_n when_o he_o please_v thus_o far_o for_o the_o first_o benefit_n the_o second_o benefit_n wherein_o the_o lord_n show_v himself_o gracious_a towards_o his_o people_n be_v this_o he_o make_v his_o

among_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o with_o they_o he_o have_v make_v his_o residence_n it_o be_v no_o strange_a language_n to_o say_v that_o god_n have_v choose_v a_o people_n to_o
