they_o to_o their_o right_a object_n and_o bring_v they_o by_o degree_n to_o this_o measure_n that_o they_o be_v spend_v upon_o christ_n without_o measure_n three_o our_o faith_n do_v show_v itself_o

christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n which_o persuasion_n as_o i_o take_v it_o do_v more_o natural_o belong_v unto_o the_o will_n it_o be_v more_o proper_a to_o the_o understanding_n to_o be_v convict_v and_o to_o the_o will_v to_o be_v persuade_v so_o that_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v many_o time_n toss_v with_o temptation_n fear_n and_o terror_n yet_o more_o or_o less_o it_o be_v much_o refresh_v with_o this_o persuasion_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o faith_n quicken_v the_o whole_a soul_n of_o the_o godly_a man_n in_o which_o respect_n if_o we_o be_v quicken_v from_o the_o death_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o not_o of_o our_o desire_n if_o we_o perceive_v the_o inliving_a of_o our_o desire_n and_o not_o of_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o suspect_v that_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v in_o no_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o any_o measure_n where_o it_o be_v not_o in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o some_o measure_n for_o in_o this_o do_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n differ_v from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n that_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n do_v begin_v in_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v that_o which_o first_o live_v and_o do_v end_n there_o it_o be_v that_o which_o last_o die_v but_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o can_v never_o perish_v though_o it_o may_v seem_v not_o to_o work_v for_o some_o time_n like_o a_o member_n deaden_v with_o a_o blow_n as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o first_o regeneration_n like_o light_n in_o the_o air_n shed_v abroad_o through_o the_o whole_a soul_n so_o it_o be_v always_o to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n though_o in_o some_o man_n it_o be_v more_o predominant_a in_o the_o understanding_n in_o some_o in_o the_o desire_n and_o in_o some_o other_o in_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o from_o henceforth_o enter_v into_o our_o own_o soul_n to_o try_v whether_o we_o have_v faith_n yea_o or_o no._n if_o we_o have_v it_o be_v our_o life_n and_o if_o it_o be_v our_o life_n it_o quicken_v both_o our_o understanding_n to_o know_v christ_n our_o judgement_n to_o approve_v he_o as_o our_o only_a saviour_n and_o

full_a of_o care_n fear_v grief_n but_o faith_n triumph_v that_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n principality_n nor_o power_n thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o poor_a man_n life_n be_v full_a of_o discontent_n and_o penury_n but_o faith_n can_v want_v and_o abound_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o other_o dainty_n do_v every_o day_n feed_v upon_o christ_n the_o infant_n life_n be_v full_a of_o mourning_n and_o cry_v but_o faith_n glad_v the_o heart_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o heaviness_n and_o make_v it_o many_o time_n rejoice_v with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a the_o young_a man_n life_n be_v full_a of_o passion_n waver_v and_o fickle_a inconstancy_n but_o faith_n do_v so_o

but_o faith_n see_v through_o the_o cloud_n life_n in_o death_n glory_n in_o shame_n yea_o it_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n in_o every_o sentence_n and_o though_o the_o outward_a man_n perish_v yet_o in_o the_o inner_a and_o hide_a man_n of_o the_o heart_n faith_n renew_v we_o daily_o although_o therefore_o we_o must_v live_v other_o live_v both_o natural_a and_o civil_a yet_o let_v we_o make_v more_o account_n of_o this_o that_o christ_n live_v in_o we_o by_o faith_n than_o of_o all_o other_o life_n whatsoever_o thus_o have_v i_o bring_v you_o along_o unto_o the_o last_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v observe_v from_o hence_o that_o be_v the_o exercise_n and_o expressement_n of_o that_o power_n which_o faith_n give_v we_o by_o our_o communion_n with_o christ_n in_o a_o virtuous_a and_o holy_a life_n for_o as_o he_o have_v say_v that_o we_o have_v fellowship_n in_o his_o death_n for_o our_o mortification_n that_o we_o be_v quicken_v by_o faith_n in_o he_o for_o our_o

that_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o christ_n that_o quicken_v i_o concern_v the_o life_n that_o we_o now_o live_v to_o live_v gracious_o whence_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o be_v quicken_v to_o all_o holy_a obedience_n though_o we_o have_v faith_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o pride_n ourselves_o in_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n in_o itself_o that_o quicken_v we_o but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a power_n whereby_o we_o do_v receive_v that_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n 5.21_o john_n 5.21_o therefore_o

this_o the_o first_o be_v ignorance_n for_o as_o the_o eye_n work_v not_o in_o a_o dark_a place_n where_o it_o can_v by_o a_o fit_a conveyance_n receive_v variety_n of_o object_n so_o the_o conscience_n work_v not_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o light_n of_o knowledge_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o direct_v it_o by_o the_o second_o be_v hardness_n of_o heart_n for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a or_o have_v a_o deadened_a or_o astonish_v body_n for_o the_o present_n can_v feel_v any_o order_n or_o disorder_n any_o whip_n lash_n or_o gash_n so_o a_o sear_a crust_v and_o senseless_a conscience_n be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o curse_a garboil_n in_o the_o soul_n nor_o capable_a of_o any_o orderly_a proceed_n against_o they_o the_o three_o be_v spiritual_a madness_n for_o as_o mad_a man_n can_v keep_v any_o fair_a quarter_n with_o themselves_o much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v expect_v that_o he_o shall_v wise_o execute_v any_o deputation_n from_o other_o so_o spiritual_o mad_a man_n who_o be_v out_o of_o their_o wit_n with_o self-love_n and_o love_n of_o this_o world_n who_o run_v upon_o the_o pike_n of_o hell-danger_n who_o will_v not_o be_v

the_o last_o be_v pride_n for_o as_o in_o a_o country_n where_o there_o be_v no_o disorder_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a in_o these_o curse_a day_n of_o sin_n for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v there_o

on_o work_n upon_o whosoever_o shall_v discover_v their_o hellish_a nakedness_n there_o be_v no_o inward_a assize_n because_o as_o they_o think_v there_o be_v no_o need_n quest_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v see_v these_o thing_n do_v hinder_v it_o how_o may_v i_o further_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o answ_n i_o answer_v as_o in_o general_a we_o must_v strive_v to_o root_v out_o ignorance_n to_o rend_v our_o heart_n to_o come_v unto_o ourselves_o as_o the_o prodigal_a and_o to_o be_v nothing_o yea_o hell_n in_o our_o own_o eye_n so_o in_o particular_a i_o will_v commend_v three_o mean_n to_o this_o end_n especial_o the_o first_o be_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o write_v the_o record_n of_o his_o truth_n in_o our_o mind_n and_o heart_n a_o assize_n can_v be_v keep_v without_o law_n nor_o

past_a with_o such_o cry_n out_o for_o the_o psalm_n of_o mercy_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o rest_n till_o we_o have_v roll_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o have_v find_v ourselves_o in_o some_o measure_n seal_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o promise_n against_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n the_o second_o mean_n be_v our_o not_o disturb_v the_o court_n but_o suffer_v
that_o we_o may_v be_v afraid_a to_o abuse_v our_o conscience_n for_o this_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o that_o though_o our_o conscience_n be_v calm_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o as_o nycippus_fw-la

plentiful_a saint_n peter_n principal_o labour_v for_o piety_n patience_n and_o constancy_n against_o false_a apostle_n saint_n john_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o saint_n saint_n

in_o these_o point_n i_o say_v this_o apostle_n carry_v away_o the_o bell_n from_o the_o rest_n the_o principal_a point_n in_o this_o epistle_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o with_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n christian_n work_n be_v to_o be_v join_v wherein_o we_o must_v walk_v to_o the_o end_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o principal_a reason_n
