what_o this_o inward_a teach_n be_v whereof_o the_o apostle_n speak_v i_o shall_v return_v the_o answer_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n or_o rather_o god_n by_o the_o prophet_n it_o be_v 33_o the_o put_v his_o law_n in_o our_o inward_a part_n and_o write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n indeed_o as_o we_o say_v in_o general_a the_o scripture_n be_v the_o best_a interpreter_n of_o it_o self_n so_o in_o this_o particular_a the_o prophet_n be_v the_o best_a commentator_n on_o the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v more_o clear_o understand_v the_o one_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a more_o particular_o to_o comment_v on_o the_o other_o and_o let_v you_o see_v what_o this_o put_v this_o law_n in_o our_o inward_a part_n and_o write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n mean_v by_o which_o we_o shall_v the_o better_o perceive_v what_o this_o teach_n be_v in_o reference_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o a_o double_a conclusion_n 1_o that_o which_o the_o spirit_n teach_v inward_o be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o he_o teach_v outward_o and_o therefore_o that_o which_o he_o be_v say_v to_o write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o law_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n as_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o one_o parcel_n agree_v with_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o another_o parcel_n of_o holy_a writ_n so_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o soul_n answer_v to_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o christ_n tell_v his_o

not_o to_o teach_v they_o any_o new_a doctrine_n but_o to_o bring_v to_o remembrance_n what_o christ_n have_v before_o teach_v they_o sure_o then_o the_o inward_a teach_n of_o this_o unction_n whereof_o all_o christian_n participate_v do_v not_o reveal_v any_o new_a mystery_n which_o be_v not_o already_o deliver_v in_o the_o word_n among_o other_o resemblance_n the_o spirit_n work_v upon_o
