Of unbelief; or the want of readiness to lay hold on the comfort given by Christ. II. Not going to Christ for life and salvation is an exceeding great sin, yet it is pardonable. In the first book is shewed (besides many other things) 1 What unbelief it is that is here spoken of ... 7 Helps to attain readiness in beleeving. In the second book is shewed, 1 That unbelief is a great sin, and exceeding provoking unto God ... 7 God hath pardoned unbelief, and wil pardon it.

their_o unbelief_n math._n 13.58_o no_o great_a work_n the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o that_o god_n do_v do_v unto_o man_n according_a to_o their_o faith_n according_a to_o thy_o

small_a where_o there_o be_v a_o total_a unbelief_n their_o receipt_n shall_v be_v nothing_o from_o god_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o 2_o tim._n 2.13_o if_o we_o believe_v not_o yet_o he_o remain_v faithful_a and_o he_o can_v deny_v himself_o answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v if_o we_o believe_v not_o that_o be_v if_o we_o believe_v not_o some_o

viz_o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v also_o reign_v with_o he_o a_o man_n may_v come_v to_o the_o stake_n and_o to_o his_o grave_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o want_v a_o

though_o we_o question_v this_o and_o that_o at_o this_o and_o that_o time_n yet_o if_o our_o heart_n remain_v faithful_a to_o god_n and_o his_o name_n we_o shall_v receive_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v

thus_o and_o can_v do_v thus_o than_o i_o will_v believe_v and_o go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n you_o must_v come_v unto_o this_o if_o you_o will_v have_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o believe_v you_o must_v lay_v down_o your_o reason_n and_o your_o sense_n and_o you_o must_v put_v yourselves_o to_o this_o question_n ask_v thy_o own_o heart_n whether_o thou_o will_v have_v jesus_n christ_n or_o not_o if_o it_o will_v have_v he_o and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v he_o then_o tell_v it_o that_o it_o must_v believe_v for_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o receive_v but_o by_o believe_v therefore_o let_v i_o give_v this_o counsel_n to_o thou_o spend_v that_o time_n in_o draw_v and_o urge_v thy_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n which_o thou_o do_v in_o dispute_v

a_o right_n if_o thou_o have_v a_o faith_n that_o be_v always_o have_v and_o crave_v and_o long_v and_o hanker_a after_o the_o thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v right_a and_o again_o though_o that_o every_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o careful_a of_o holiness_n than_o he_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o and_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n i_o say_v none_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o careful_a of_o a_o holy_a life_n than_o a_o believer_n yet_o spend_v thy_o time_n mark_v what_o i_o say_v and_o thy_o spirit_n first_o in_o receive_v and_o get_v jesus_n christ_n go_v not_o this_o way_n to_o work_v when_o thou_o find_v thyself_o to_o be_v so_o and_o so_o than_o thou_o will_v believe_v because_o thou_o be_v holy_a therefore_o thou_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o thou_o may_v receive_v holiness_n from_o he_o for_o faith_n be_v a_o receive_n as_o

to_o get_v in_o a_o fullness_n &_o afterward_o to_o live_v answerable_a unto_o it_o why_o do_v thou_o think_v of_o thy_o sanctification_n when_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v he_o that_o must_v make_v thou_o holy_a assure_v thyself_o it_o can_v be_v but_o all_o the_o thing_n thou_o go_v about_o will_v grow_v dead_a because_o thou_o have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o maintain_v they_o al_n thy_o motion_n

that_o thou_o shall_v not_o lay_v a_o ground_n of_o faith_n by_o do_n do_n may_v lay_v a_o ground_n of_o assurance_n but_o not_o a_o ground_n of_o receive_v or_o go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v true_a many_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v as_o well_o as_o believe_v when_o a_o man_n will_v receive_v a_o man_n must_v ask_v that_o he_o may_v receive_v john_n 16.24_o and_o a_o man_n must_v be_v mortify_v that_o he_o may_v receive_v you_o ask_v and_o receive_v not_o because_o you_o ask_v to_o spend_v upon_o your_o lust_n jam._n 4.3_o and_o a_o man_n must_v be_v humble_a jam._n 4.6_o god_n give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a and_o the_o ordinance_n must_v be_v attend_v even_o every_o of_o they_o for_o it_o oft_o time_n fall_v out_o that_o that_o ordinance_n which_o be_v neglect_v be_v that_o by_o which_o god_n will_v convey_v himself_o but_o the_o ordinance_n be_v but_o the_o vessel_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n they_o be_v but_o bucket_n which_o faith_n do_v let_v down_o or_o but_o breast_n which_o faith_n do_v suck_v the_o receive_v be_v still_o by_o faith_n heb._n 4.2_o and_o therefore_o the_o word_n profit_v not_o because_o it_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o faith_n and_o the_o text_n say_v if_o they_o pray_v and_o beleeu●d_v they_o shall_v then_o receive_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o grace_n that_o must_v be_v in_o the_o man_n that_o receive_v any_o thing_n from_o god_n hand_n but_o they_o be_v all_o but_o the_o attendant_n of_o faith_n they_o be_v necessary_a unto_o faith_n not_o for_o reception_n but_o by_o way_n of_o presence_n as_o the_o eye_n alone_o see_v though_o it_o can_v see_v unless_o it_o be_v join_v to_o the_o other_o member_n of_o the_o body_n so_o faith_n receive_v though_o it_o never_o receive_v but_o when_o it_o be_v join_v with_o other_o grace_n whatever_o grace_n be_v require_v unto_o faith_n faith_n will_v help_v we_o unto_o to_o pray_v acceptable_o if_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v with_o humility_n and_o submission_n faith_n will_v help_v we_o to_o it_o when_o once_o faith_n be_v infuse_v it_o do_v dispose_v and_o enable_v the_o heart_n to_o every_o thing_n that_o god_n require_v beside_o you_o know_v how_o a_o man_n that_o be_v touch_v with_o covetousness_n and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n will_v bow_v down_o himself_o and_o deny_v himself_o much_o and_o become_v base_a that_o he_o may_v heap_v up_o riches_n together_o so_o will_v a_o man_n when_o he_o have_v once_o get_v faith_n he_o will_v pray_v earnest_o and_o go_v from_o ordinance_n to_o ordinance_n and_o submit_v to_o any_o condition_n that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n require_v at_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o may_v serve_v god_n and_o be_v save_v and_o therefore_o again_o and_o again_o i_o say_v if_o you_o will_v receive_v any_o thing_n you_o must_v believe_v else_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o it_o if_o you_o will_v stand_v reason_v and_o dispute_v and_o debate_v
