of_o the_o law_n to_o discover_v sin_n and_o misery_n but_o i_o hold_v that_o to_o look_v to_o any_o such_o preparation_n and_o fetch_v a_o encouragement_n or_o motive_n therefrom_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v real_o to_o give_v he_o a_o price_n for_o his_o free_a water_n and_o wine_n it_o be_v to_o mix_v in_o together_o christ_n and_o the_o law_n in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o

therefore_o many_o do_v corrupt_v the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o rigid_a exaction_n of_o preparation_n and_o measure_n of_o they_o and_o by_o make_v they_o condition_n or_o restriction_n of_o gospel-commands_a and_o promise_n as_o in_o this_o come_v you_o that_o be_v weary_v and_o from_o thence_o they_o seem_v to_o exclude_v person_n not_o so_o qualify_v from_o have_v a_o warrant_n

real_o thou_o do_v indeed_o establish_v thy_o own_o righteousness_n do_v any_o saint_n though_o never_o so_o holy_a consider_v himself_o under_o such_o notion_n of_o grace_n when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v justify_v no_o indeed_o but_o as_o a_o ungodly_a man_n rather_o he_o must_v deny_v all_o that_o though_o he_o have_v it_o and_o beside_o it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a and_o incongruous_a to_o seek_v the_o fruit_n before_o the_o tree_n be_v plant_v and_o to_o refuse_v to_o plant_v the_o tree_n till_o you_o can_v behold_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o but_o also_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o ●ree_a and_o comfortable_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o a_o soul_n to_o seek_v the_o discovery_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o itself_o but_o sin_n before_o it_o apply_v to_o jesus_n christ._n i_o say_v there_o must_v be_v some_o sense_n o●_n sin_n otherwise_o it_o have_v not_o right_o discover_v sin_n but_o a_o soul_n shall_v not_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o discover_v that_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o find_v it_o out_o so_o as_o to_o make_v it_o a_o motive_n of_o believe_v in_o christ_n he_o ought_v to_o go_v straight_o forward_o and_o not_o return_v as_o he_o go_v he_o must_v indeed_o examine_v himself_o not_o to_o find_v himself_o a_o sensible_a humble_a sinner_n that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v ground_n of_o believe_v but_o that_o he_o may_v find_v himself_o a_o lose_v perish_v sinner_n void_a of_o all_o grace_n and_o goodness_n that_o he_o may_v find_v the_o more_o necessity_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o thus_o i_o think_v the_o many_o contention_n about_o preparation_n or_o condition_n preparatory_a to_o believe_v may_v be_v reconcile_v now_o if_o the_o question_n be_v as_o it_o be_v indeed_o about_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o assurance_n and_o knowledge_n of_o our_o
