be_v the_o last_o of_o all_o that_o the_o apostle_n name_n they_o be_v sensual_a not_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o he_o usual_o reserve_v the_o great_a thing_n last_v in_o his_o eloquence_n and_o way_n of_o speak_v now_o than_o the_o lesson_n be_v this_o that_o the_o great_a difference_n that_o i_o know_v in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n between_o saint_n and_o sinner_n be_v that_o the_o one_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o other_o have_v not_o there_o be_v a_o thousand_o difference_n even_o in_o scripture_n but_o they_o be_v none_o of_o they_o so_o substantial_a as_o this_o that_o a_o saint_n be_v a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o a_o sinner_n be_v one_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n one_o that_o be_v without_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o be_v preach_v and_o meet_v with_o any_o disciple_n and_o professor_n they_o ask_v present_o have_v you_o receive_v the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v only_o nor_o chief_o of_o the_o common_a

of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o church_n to_o see_v what_o a_o bless_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o see_v
we_o may_v die_v for_o they_o but_o when_o our_o bibles_n have_v go_v through_o the_o hand_n of_o papist_n so_o many_o hundred_o year_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o die_v for_o it_o he_o be_v

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

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

of_o a_o thousand_o enemy_n and_o then_o can_v only_o say_v peradventure_o god_n will_v save_v i_o and_o rescue_v i_o but_o when_o the_o soul_n see_v that_o god_n must_v rescue_v it_o and_o there_o
