that_o will_v live_v by_o faith_n he_o must_v not_o say_v in_o his_o heart_n who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o bring_v down_o christ_n or_o a_o issue_n from_o above_o or_o who_o shall_v descend_v into_o the_o deep_a to_o bring_v up_o a_o christ_n or_o a_o issue_n from_o the_o dead_a but_o the_o word_n be_v near_o thou_o even_o in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o in_o thy_o heart_n the_o word_n of_o faith_n the_o word_n in_o the_o gospel_n which_o we_o preach_v this_o point_n because_o there_o be_v several_a thing_n in_o it_o of_o special_a concernment_n for_o we_o i_o shall_v deduce_v and_o branch_v out_o to_o you_o in_o four_o head_n 1._o that_o real_o needy_a saint_n who_o be_v put_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n aught_o to_o be_v and_o will_v be_v much_o conversant_a with_o the_o word_n that_o they_o may_v know_v what_o be_v for_o they_o and_o suitable_a to_o their_o case_n there_o 2._o that_o as_o real_o needy_a saint_n will_v be_v much_o conversant_a with_o the_o word_n so_o they_o will_v judge_v of_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o verdict_n of_o the_o word_n 3._o that_o to_o fix_v they_o in_o that_o resolution_n to_o judge_v of_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o word_n they_o must_v fix_v this_o principle_n that_o the_o word_n be_v of_o divine_a authority_n 4._o that_o have_v fix_v this_o that_o the_o word_n be_v of_o divine_a authority_n the_o believer_n must_v send_v out_o his_o faith_n to_o believe_v and_o his_o hope_n to_o look_v for_o all_o that_o he_o find_v in_o so_o divine_a and_o sure_a a_o word_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o say_v that_o real_o needy_a saint_n who_o be_v put_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n aught_o to_o be_v and_o will_v be_v much_o conversant_a in_o the_o word_n that_o they_o may_v know_v what_o be_v for_o they_o there_o and_o suitable_a to_o their_o case_n this_o be_v clear_o import_v in_o the_o text_n while_o he_o say_v i_o hope_v in_o thy_o word_n he_o must_v know_v what_o be_v in_o the_o word_n to_o lean_v his_o faith_n and_o hope_n upon_o for_o except_o he_o know_v he_o can_v lean_v his_o faith_n and_o confidence_n on_o it_o hence_o david_n a_o great_a liver_n by_o faith_n be_v much_o conversant_a with_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v his_o meditation_n his_o meat_n his_o delight_n the_o man_n of_o his_o counsel_n his_o guide_n as_o you_o may_v read_v at_o length_n what_o his_o esteem_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o that_o 119_o psalm_n and_o this_o be_v so_o it_o will_v infer_v not_o only_o that_o real_o needy_a saint_n shall_v attend_v upon_o the_o word_n preach_v but_o more_o especial_o that_o they_o shall_v and_o will_v be_v much_o at_o the_o private_a serious_a read_n of_o meditation_n on_o and_o perusal_n of_o the_o scripture_n a_o duty_n that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o will_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o duty_n and_o two_o press_v it_o on_o you_o 1._o i_o say_v it_o be_v needful_a to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v read_v by_o all_o in_o opposition_n to_o that_o curse_a popish_a principle_n that_o will_v not_o allow_v any_o laic_a or_o private_a person_n without_o a_o peculiar_a licence_n to_o read_v the_o scripture_n whereby_o they_o turn_v that_o in_o a_o privilege_n and_o confer_v on_o some_o only_a which_o god_n have_v impose_v as_o a_o duty_n on_o all_o yea_o further_o so_o tyrannical_a be_v they_o in_o this_o that_o though_o they_o permit_v some_o to_o read_v the_o vulgar_a latin_a or_o translation_n according_a to_o it_o as_o they_o have_v turn_v it_o in_o english_a where_o protestant_n be_v lest_o if_o they_o shall_v hinder_v they_o in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o they_o shall_v read_v other_o translation_n without_o their_o liberty_n yet_o in_o other_o place_n as_o spain_n and_o italy_n they_o be_v spare_v of_o these_o licenses_fw-la this_o be_v a_o damnable_a error_n not_o only_o contrair_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n wherein_o they_o glory_v so_o much_o wherein_o private_a person_n be_v so_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o word_n that_o they_o will_v make_v it_o the_o subject_n of_o their_o discourse_n while_o they_o be_v about_o their_o ordinary_a calling_n but_o be_v clear_o repugnant_a to_o scripture_n and_o principle_n deduce_v therefrom_o both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n i_o shall_v not_o insist_v on_o controversial_a thing_n but_o lay_v down_o first_o some_o instance_n from_o scripture_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v add_v some_o scripture_n argument_n for_o clear_v that_o truth_n for_o scripture_n instance_n look_v to_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o
