the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v have_v but_o it_o be_v that_o knowledge_n that_o be_v dart_v into_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 2.9_o 10_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o the_o apostle_n speak_v it_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n man_n do_v not_o know_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o heart_n but_o say_v he_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v god_n have_v reveal_v they_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n search_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o be_v say_v to_o guide_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n john_n 16.13_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o description_n it_o be_v a_o save_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o it_o be_v a_o knowledge_n whereby_o a_o believer_n have_v receive_v satisfy_v light_n first_o a_o believer_n have_v receive_v light_n the_o truth_n be_v none_o do_v know_v the_o truth_n aright_o but_o he_o that_o believe_v it_o therefore_o believe_v and_o know_v the_o truth_n be_v join_v together_o 1_o tim._n 4.3_o forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n which_o god_n have_v create_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o thanksgiving_n of_o they_o which_o believe_v and_o know_v the_o truth_n three_o i_o note_v this_o whereby_o a_o believer_n receive_v satisfy_a light_n but_o what_o be_v that_o light_n may_v be_v some_o of_o you_o will_v say_v that_o may_v be_v call_v satisfy_v light_n i_o answer_v and_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o it_o in_o these_o five_o particular_n first_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n that_o be_v join_v with_o a_o powerful_a conviction_n upon_o the_o conscience_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v eonvince_v we_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o righteousness_n and_o judgement_n john_n 16.8_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n break_v in_o upon_o the_o soul_n with_o such_o a_o irresistible_a light_n that_o a_o man_n can_v gainsay_v it_o or_o withstand_v it_o for_o example_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v rise_v in_o the_o morning_n a_o man_n then_o know_v it_o be_v day_n and_o if_o a_o thousand_o shall_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a he_o will_v say_v i_o know_v it_o be_v day_n such_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o irresistible_a light_n it_o break_v in_o upon_o the_o heart_n with_o that_o power_n that_o the_o heart_n can_v gainsay_v it_o second_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n which_o settle_v and_o stablish_v a_o man_n in_o the_o present_a truth_n that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v remove_v from_o it_o when_o a_o man_n be_v root_v in_o the_o faith_n settle_a and_o establish_v in_o jesus_n christ_n than_o he_o have_v receive_v a_o satisfy_a light_n three_o that_o be_v a_o fatisfy_a light_n when_o a_o man_n can_v act_v faith_n upon_o that_o light_n he_o have_v receive_v and_o make_v bold_a adventure_n for_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o have_v embrace_v when_o he_o can_v act_v faith_n upon_o it_o so_o do_v those_o three_o worthy_n in_o daniel_n 3.17_o they_o have_v receive_v such_o satisfy_a light_n that_o god_n be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o his_o worship_n the_o true_a worship_n that_o they_o venture_v a_o furnace_n for_o it_o say_v they_o if_o it_o be_v so_o our_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o thy_o hand_n o_o king_n but_o if_o not_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o thou_o o_o king_n that_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_v thy_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o four_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n which_o will_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o discern_v between_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n though_o error_n be_v mask_v with_o never_o such_o fair_a pretence_n yet_o notwithstanding_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o discover_v that_o error_n and_o abhor_v it_o and_o though_o truth_n be_v eclipse_v with_o never_o so_o many_o false_a gloss_n and_o interpretation_n and_o never_o so_o much_o oppose_v yet_o a_o man_n can_v discern_v it_o and_o close_o with_o it_o and_o cleave_v to_o it_o five_o this_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n that_o will_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o reconcile_v some_o seem_a difference_n that_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n let_v i_o give_v you_o a_o instance_n in_o one_o or_o two_o those_o two_o place_n compare_v together_o gen._n 6.6_o and_o it_o repent_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v make_v man_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o grieve_v he_o at_o his_o heart_n but_o in_o numb_a 23.19_o it_o be_v say_v god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v neither_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v now_o a_o man_n that_o have_v this_o satisfy_a light_n he_o know_v how_o to_o reconcile_v these_o two_o place_n thus_o repentance_n in_o god_n be_v not_o a_o change_n of_o his_o will_n but_o of_o his_o work_n god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n because_o he_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o man_n do_v when_o he_o repent_v let_v i_o give_v you_o another_o instance_n saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o rom._n 3.28_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n but_o saint_n james_n he_o tell_v the_o quite_o contrary_a james_n 2.25_o you_o see_v then_o how_o by_o work_v a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o now_o a_o man_n that_o have_v satisfy_v light_n he_o reconcile_v these_o two_o thus_o saint_n paul_n he_o speak_v of_o justification_n before_o god_n and_o saint_n james_n he_o speak_v of_o justification_n before_o man_n we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n only_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o man_n by_o work_n again_o they_o may_v be_v reconcile_v thus_o faith_n do_v justify_v our_o person_n but_o good_a work_n do_v justify_v our_o faith_n good_a work_n be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o only_o a_o proof_n of_o our_o justification_n last_o in_o the_o description_n i_o say_v this_o a_o believer_n have_v receive_v a_o satisfy_a light_n give_v up_o his_o understanding_n resolve_o to_o those_o truth_n that_o be_v reveal_v to_o he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v when_o do_v a_o man_n give_v up_o his_o understanding_n resolve_o to_o those_o truth_n reveal_v to_o he_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o first_o when_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o part_n with_o every_o sin_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n disallow_n and_o condemn_v though_o it_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o his_o right_a hand_n or_o his_o right_a eye_n and_o when_o he_o can_v practise_v every_o duty_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n command_v though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o difficult_a as_o for_o example_n the_o duty_n of_o mortification_n and_o self-denial_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o world_n when_o he_o can_v purify_v his_o heart_n by_o believe_v and_o obey_v the_o truth_n 1_o pet._n 1.22_o see_v you_o have_v purify_v your_o soul_n in_o obey_v the_o truth_n through_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v say_v of_o many_o of_o the_o priest_n that_o they_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o faith_n act_v 6.7_o and_o st._n paul_n say_v act_v 26.19_o that_o he_o be_v not_o disobedient_a to_o the_o heavenly_a vision_n second_o a_o man_n give_v up_o his_o understanding_n resolve_o to_o the_o truth_n when_o he_o can_v plead_v for_o the_o truth_n and_o not_o plead_v against_o it_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 13.8_o for_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n doctor_n taylor_n the_o martyr_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o this_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o minister_n to_o marry_v i_o know_v say_v he_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fundamental_a truth_n but_o because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n rather_o than_o i_o will_v part_v with_o any_o truth_n i_o will_v part_v with_o my_o life_n so_o then_o when_o a_o man_n can_v thus_o resolve_o give_v up_o his_o understanding_n to_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o will_v part_v with_o his_o life_n rather_o than_o part_v with_o the_o truth_n then_o have_v he_o attain_v to_o this_o certainty_n of_o knowledge_n indeed_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o description_n of_o it_o and_o have_v the_o point_v open_v now_o let_v i_o make_v application_n of_o it_o use_v 1_o if_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o they_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o only_o know_v more_o of_o god_n
