a_o good_a look_n yet_o this_o be_v our_o disposition_n if_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o observe_v we_o if_o one_o go_v by_o and_o do_v not_o observe_v we_o in_o the_o street_n and_o put_v not_o off_o

without_o fire_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n a_o proud_a heart_n therefore_o can_v never_o close_v with_o the_o saint_n it_o can_v be_v content_a with_o a_o little_a measure_n of_o love_n from_o the_o

this_o be_v christ_n crucify_v and_o christ_n pour_v out_o of_o his_o spirit_n let_v the_o particle_n and_o the_o word_n run_v as_o they_o will_v this_o be_v the_o main_a that_o will_v hold_v as_o the_o gospel_n be_v intend_v and_o design_v for_o simple_a man_n more_o than_o other_o so_o with_o reverence_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o more_o simple_a plain_a thing_n than_o most_o man_n in_o the_o world_n conceive_v the_o gospel_n need_v not_o the_o thousand_o part_n of_o the_o distinction_n and_o definition_n that_o the_o schoolman_n have_v and_o that_o man_n multiply_v it_o be_v a_o simple_a

the_o art_n etc._n etc._n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v learning_n to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a thing_n to_o perfect_v a_o man_n natural_n but_o i_o think_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o a_o man_n that_o save_o and_o clear_o know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v the_o fit_a man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o preacher_n we_o shall_v know_v thing_n a_o thousand_o fold_n better_o and_o clear_a than_o we_o do_v if_o we_o will_v judge_n of_o thing_n as_o god_n judge_v of_o they_o if_o we_o will_v use_v the_o language_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n if_o we_o will_v know_v a_o saint_n from_o a_o sinner_n as_o i_o say_v a_o man_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o another_o that_o be_v not_o this_o be_v the_o main_a way_n the_o chief_a essential_a difference_n the_o one_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o other_o have_v not_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o whether_o yonder_o man_n pray_v or_o fast_o or_o preach_v or_o repeat_v or_o whether_o he_o do_v many_o good_a outward_a moral_a thing_n but_o whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v now_o almost_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o name_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v i_o say_v distinguish_v man_n from_o man_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o labour_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o assure_v our_o self_n that_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v not_o rest_v in_o this_o that_o i_o have_v leave_v such_o sin_n or_o i_o do_v such_o duty_n but_o go_v on_o still_o till_o i_o come_v up_o to_o this_o that_o with_o all_o humility_n and_o thankfulness_n i_o may_v say_v god_n have_v give_v to_o i_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o my_o heart_n paul_n be_v humble_a and_o modest_a enough_o in_o his_o expression_n yet_o he_o can_v bold_o say_v he_o have_v the_o spirit_n we_o have_v the_o earnest_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o john_n can_v say_v so_o of_o other_o saint_n you_o have_v a_o unction_n or_o a_o anoint_v 1_o john_n 2._o and_o that_o be_v the_o bless_a spirit_n true_o belove_v it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n in_o respect_n of_o himself_o for_o a_o poor_a creature_n to_o see_v many_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o if_o we_o will_v resolve_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v to_o look_v on_o thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n look_v on_o they_o to_o use_v those_o phrase_n and_o expression_n and_o those_o notion_n we_o shall_v understand_v many_o mystery_n in_o godliness_n which_o now_o be_v little_o less_o than_o stumble_a block_n to_o we_o because_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o thwart_a wisdom_n in_o we_o that_o be_v cross_a to_o that_o god_n be_v now_o i_o tell_v you_o about_o to_o exalt_v the_o spirit_n yet_o not_o in_o a_o way_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n i_o mean_v therefore_o learn_v this_o lesson_n to_o strive_v for_o this_o as_o the_o chief_a thing_n to_o find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o you_o dwell_v and_o work_v in_o you_o because_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v one_o great_a promise_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n and_o all_o other_o promise_v belong_v to_o that_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v but_o one_o great_a promise_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n as_o christ_n call_v it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v teach_v we_o of_o late_a year_n to_o know_v his_o son_n christ_n crucify_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n where_o our_o righteousness_n lie_v etc._n etc._n so_o let_v we_o not_o think_v these_o speculation_n enough_o but_o take_v the_o other_o main_a thing_n that_o be_v as_o great_a as_o this_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o i_o may_v as_o well_o find_v the_o spirit_n work_v in_o i_o as_o to_o know_v without_o that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o i_o if_o religion_n be_v state_v aright_o i_o mean_v christianity_n christian_a religion_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o in_o book_n but_o the_o life_n of_o christianty_n it_o will_v be_v to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o to_o enjoy_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o when_o we_o read_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o cast_v up_o the_o bill_n of_o account_n when_o we_o have_v do_v there_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o the_o two_o hinge_n that_o all_o go_v on_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v deceive_v by_o notionall_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n only_o without_o you_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o glorious_a for_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o saint_n thou_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n real_o dwell_v in_o thou_o in_o its_o measure_n as_o true_o as_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ephes_n 1._o the_o latter_a end_n the_o spirit_n that_o work_v in_o they_o that_o believe_v o_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v a_o glorious_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o that_o not_o only_o make_v the_o grand_a difference_n between_o a_o saint_n and_o a_o sinner_n but_o even_o in_o a_o godly_a man_n the_o spirit_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o religion_n let_v the_o spirit_n but_o stir_n in_o he_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o dark_a yet_o all_o be_v light_a before_o he_o let_v the_o spirit_n come_v and_o comfort_v he_o though_o he_o be_v in_o chain_n of_o iron_n though_o he_o be_v in_o the_o great_a misery_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o he_o can_v sing_v psalm_n let_v the_o spirit_n be_v give_v he_o and_o then_o not_o only_a faith_n and_o the_o promise_n but_o grace_n and_o common_a providence_n every_o thing_n speak_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o his_o soul_n but_o let_v the_o spirit_n withdraw_v from_o he_o if_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o his_o spirit_n but_o for_o a_o moment_n even_o from_o the_o best_a saint_n his_o body_n and_o his_o soul_n be_v no_o better_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o than_o a_o mere_a carrion_n i_o allude_v to_o that_o of_o james_n the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n be_v dead_a so_o take_v the_o body_n and_o soul_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v dead_a dead_a what_o be_v that_o thus_o take_v a_o live_a body_n that_o i_o may_v follow_v the_o comparison_n a_o little_a there_o be_v no_o live_a body_n but_o he_o can_v do_v something_o though_o some_o can_v do_v more_o than_o other_o yet_o every_o live_a body_n can_v do_v something_o he_o can_v sit_v or_o walk_v or_o talk_v etc._n etc._n and_o as_o he_o can_v do_v some_o good_a so_o he_o can_v resist_v some_o evil_n if_o a_o man_n be_v die_v almost_o if_o you_o go_v to_o pour_v water_n in_o his_o throat_n he_o can_v turn_v his_o head_n aside_o but_o let_v the_o soul_n be_v away_o he_o can_v neither_o do_v any_o good_a i_o speak_v now_o of_o natural_a civil_a good_a or_o resist_v evil_a so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o soul_n let_v the_o lord_n take_v away_o his_o spirit_n and_o we_o be_v quite_o flat_a let_v the_o lord_n propose_v any_o good_a work_n to_o do_v let_v any_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n
