sin_n as_o horrible_a as_o ever_o he_o argue_v it_o pleasant_a and_o commodious_a yea_o his_o chief_a dart_n lie_v at_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o believer_n to_o be_v reason_v against_o the_o ground_n of_o believe_a question_v their_o election_n sever_a the_o promise_n out_o of_o their_o sight_n mudding_n and_o darken_v their_o sight_n of_o christ_n accuse_v they_o for_o unsound_a and_o hypocrite_n tempt_v they_o from_o mean_n which_o make_v for_o strengthen_v of_o faith_n peter_n say_v christ_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o winnow_v thou_o but_o i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o imply_v satan_n design_n lie_v most_o against_o his_o faith_n through_o the_o malice_n and_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n faith_n be_v put_v hard_a to_o it_o till_o the_o lord_n rebuke_v he_o 5._o faith_n be_v wrought_v forth_o gradual_o in_o the_o soul_n by_o degree_n at_o first_o sow_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n a_o small_a seed_n corruption_n and_o reason_n like_o overspread_a

thessalonian_o 1_o thes_n 3.10,13_o that_o there_o be_v something_o lack_v in_o their_o faith_n and_o the_o establishment_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v much_o pray_v for_o by_o he_o 6._o the_o lord_n suffer_v it_o to_o be_v so_o that_o his_o power_n in_o the_o support_v of_o a_o weak_a soul_n may_v the_o more_o appear_v faith_n be_v call_v the_o operation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 1_o thess_n 2._o and_o that_o your_o faith_n may_v stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n when_o a_o soul_n be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o misgivings_a and_o ready_a to_o sink_v under_o they_o theu_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v more_o visible_a in_o sustain_v than_o we_o see_v by_o his_o power_n alone_o we_o stand_v have_v we_o a_o strong_a settle_a faith_n present_o we_o shall_v rather_o be_v lift_v

suffer_v these_o fight_n and_o reason_n within_o that_o we_o may_v have_v continual_a recourse_n to_o he_o for_o support_v and_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o beginning_n life_n and_o growth_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v all_o in_o and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o it_o for_o these_o reason_n viz._n the_o wisdom_n and_o pride_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o natural_a power_n of_o unbelief_n not_o be_v whole_o subdue_v sense_n of_o unworthiness_n the_o depth_n of_o guilt_n accusation_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o dispute_n of_o satan_n faith_n sow_o in_o weakness_n at_o first_o and_o all_o this_o suffer_v to_o end_n of_o glory_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o his_o power_n and_o grace_n may_v be_v the_o more_o magnify_v therefore_o true_a faith_n be_v mix_v with_o many_o reason_n doubting_n misgiving_n dispute_n fear_n which_o do_v annoy_v it_o i_o will_v first_o endeavour_v to_o apply_v this_o before_o i_o prove_v further_o that_o such_o a_o faith_n may_v engage_v christ_n to_o succour_v 1._o if_o true_a faith_n be_v thus_o mix_v with_o fear_n and_o reason_n it_o meet_v first_o with_o the_o easy_a faith_n that_o the_o most_o of_o people_n please_v themselves_o in_o as_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o always_o believe_v god_n forbid_v but_o i_o shall_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v easy_a very_o easy_a indeed_o to_o presume_v away_o a_o precious_a soul_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o flatter_v a_o man_n self_n with_o a_o opinion_n of_o believe_a and_o indeed_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o customary_a opinion_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o save_o and_o effectual_o to_o apply_v his_o blood_n by_o his_o spirit_n enable_v this_o be_v hard_a ah_o hard_o indeed_o to_o a_o poor_a convince_a soul_n that_o have_v deep_a thought_n of_o heart_n about_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n lord_n help_v my_o unbelief_n and_o lord_n if_o thou_o will_v and_o the_o like_a this_o easy_a believe_a be_v the_o dead_a sleep_n of_o sin_n upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o a_o general_a opinion_n in_o the_o brain_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n even_o for_o all_o sinner_n to_o who_o he_o be_v preach_v heighten_v by_o the_o strong_a delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o work_n it_o be_v to_o persuade_v soul_n that_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o dead_a general_a

may_v be_v a_o discovery_n of_o true_a faith_n unbelief_n be_v still_o mix_v and_o satan_n dispute_v against_o it_o as_o in_o the_o reason_n show_v if_o so_o much_o faith_n against_o believe_a pardon_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n how_o can_v it_o choose_v but_o be_v so_o but_o it_o must_v be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o a_o poor_a soul_n to_o fasten_v upon_o christ_n in_o a_o
