assist_v and_o superven_a act_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o be_v enable_v to_o give_v our_o consent_n to_o the_o conclusion_n for_o as_o in_o natural_a action_n as_o in_o move_v one_o hand_n walking_z

of_o freegrace_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o as_o god_n keep_v both_o our_o will_n and_o deed_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o dispense_v they_o several_o so_o that_o when_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o will_n he_o keep_v the_o deed_n still_o in_o his_o hand_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o we_o have_v not_o a_o power_n to_o do_v good_a even_o when_o we_o

as_o to_o our_o faith_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v light_a and_o satisfaction_n as_o to_o the_o premise_n and_o yet_o keep_v our_o assent_n to_o the_o conclusion_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n as_o

set_v down_o one_o of_o many_o reason_n which_o may_v convince_v one_o of_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n as_o for_o experience_n in_o many_o case_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a and_o in_o none_o possible_o full_o to_o be_v express_v therefore_o thus_o that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v for_o if_o the_o devil_n shall_v say_v it_o be_v so_o and_o i_o know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o lie_n yet_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v it_o and_o though_o the_o socinian_o say_v it_o be_v not_o so_o yet_o i_o lay_v this_o as_o a_o foundation_n have_v recourse_n to_o experience_n find_v those_o precious_a joy_n that_o grow_v from_o the_o high_a prizeing_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o build_v upon_o it_o i_o see_v and_o clear_o perceive_v what_o singular_a beauty_n comeliness_n and_o activity_n and_o rare_a operation_n the_o soul_n that_o be_v but_o a_o creature_n give_v unto_o the_o body_n so_o that_o the_o eye_n see_v and_o hand_n work_v and_o foot_n walk_v the_o hand_n and_o tongue_n make_v rare_a music_n and_o body_n live_v and_o move_v and_o continue_v in_o health_n and_o strength_n forty_o eighty_o year_n and_o when_o i_o see_v the_o selfsame_a body_n dead_a and_o observe_v what_o ghastly_a look_n instead_o of_o beauty_n and_o that_o it_o neither_o move_v hand_n nor_o foot_n and_o how_o quick_o it_o putrify_v and_o rot_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v go_v i_o conclude_v all_o these_o excellency_n that_o the_o body_n have_v when_o live_v be_v communicate_v to_o it_o from_o the_o soul_n for_o as_o if_o i_o shall_v hear_v some_o rare_a music_n and_o yet_o when_o i_o come_v into_o the_o room_n shall_v see_v a_o lute_n lie_v on_o the_o table_n but_o not_o see_v any_o one_o in_o the_o room_n i_o shall_v conclude_v that_o this_o lute_n do_v not_o make_v the_o music_n of_o itself_o without_o a_o hand_n to_o move_v it_o and_o that_o the_o lute_n do_v not_o give_v skill_n to_o he_o that_o play_v for_o let_v one_o that_o have_v no_o skill_n have_v never_o so_o well_o a_o tune_a instrument_n he_o can_v make_v no_o music_n therefore_o if_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a creature_n can_v enable_v the_o body_n to_o do_v what_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v so_o unable_a to_o do_v and_o this_o by_o its_o union_n with_o the_o body_n what_o must_v we_o think_v what_o rare_a excellency_n must_v necessary_o be_v impart_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n by_o that_o union_n which_o the_o deity_n have_v with_o it_o and_o doubtless_o as_o much_o as_o a_o live_a body_n as_o to_o beauty_n and_o operation_n do_v exceed_v a_o dead_a so_o and_o much_o more_o do_v christ_n as_o man_n exceed_v all_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o godhead_n especial_o the_o union_n of_o the_o deity_n with_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v near_o than_o that_o of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n i_o leave_v these_o thing_n to_o the_o consideration_n of_o any_o spiritual_a understand_a christian_a but_o this_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o one_o never_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v full_o unless_o to_o that_o conviction_n which_o we_o have_v from_o argument_n we_o have_v that_o also_o which_o be_v to_o
