a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o sanctify_a person_n and_o yet_o not_o sanctify_v god_n in_o this_o ordinance_n if_o he_o do_v not_o exercise_v those_o grace_n &_o gracious_a disposition_n which_o god_n

be_v exercise_v here_o and_o to_o our_o spiritual_a benefit_n by_o the_o one_o we_o go_v over_o to_o christ_n by_o the_o other_o we_o bring_v christ_n over_o to_o we_o the_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n give_v we_o a_o interest_n in_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n though_o as_o yet_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bring_v home_o to_o itself_o the_o great_a revenue_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n which_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o second_o act_n of_o faith_n bring_v it_o all_o home_n in_o the_o former_a god_n make_v christ_n we_o and_o we_o his_o in_o the_o latter_a we_o make_v he_o we_o christ_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o merit_n christ_n in_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n christ_n in_o all_o his_o do_n and_o suffering_n so_o far_o as_o he_o be_v communicable_a to_o poor_a sinner_n now_o there_o be_v not_o much_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o act_n the_o difference_n be_v not_o in_o the_o nature_n and_o essence_n of_o the_o grace_n both_o be_v faith_n and_o save_a faith_n nor_o in_o the_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n both_o give_v a_o man_n union_n and_o communion_n with_o christ_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o measure_n and_o degree_n in_o the_o comfort_n of_o it_o to_o the_o first_o there_o go_v a_o conviction_n of_o sin_n a_o manifestation_n and_o clear_n of_o the_o promise_n a_o persuasion_n of_o the_o truth_n fullness_n freeness_n suitableness_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o upon_o all_o this_o here_o be_v a_o roll_a a_o rest_v upon_o christ_n and_o the_o

of_o christ_n it_o be_v such_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n as_o give_v a_o soul_n union_n with_o the_o person_n and_o that_o can_v be_v without_o communion_n with_o the_o privilege_n and_o benefit_n in_o this_o latter_a there_o be_v but_o a_o clear_a apprehension_n of_o it_o in_o the_o first_o we_o go_v over_o to_o christ_n in_o the_o latter_a we_o bring_v over_o christ_n to_o we_o in_o the_o former_a we_o be_v apprehend_v of_o christ_n 3.12_o phil._n 3.12_o in_o the_o latter_a we_o apprehend_v christ_n now_o to_o the_o answer_n what_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v here_o to_o be_v exercise_v unto_o which_o i_o say_v that_o that_o act_n of_o faith_n which_o do_v apprehend_v and_o apply_v christ_n be_v most_o suitable_a to_o this_o ordinance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n hence_o be_v this_o call_v a_o

of_o christ_n christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n go_v together_o yet_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o every_o one_o who_o have_v do_v this_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n will_v work_v it_o up_o one_o degree_n high_o to_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v christ_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n see_v according_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o your_o faith_n and_o feed_v upon_o christ_n such_o be_v the_o measure_n

they_o look_v upon_o ordinance_n as_o those_o thing_n whereby_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v ordinance_n so_o precious_a indeed_o to_o they_o who_o have_v to_o do_v

to_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a frame_n we_o have_v often_o to_o do_v with_o ordinance_n and_o when_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o ordinance_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o
