B03501	The mystery of faith opened up: or Some sermons concerning faith (two where of were not formerly printed.) Wherein the nature, excellency, and usefulness of that noble grace is much cleared, and the practice thereof most powerfully pressed. Whereunto are added other three sermons, two concerning the great salvation, one of these not formerly printed, and a third concerning death. / By that pious and worthy servant of Jesus Christ, Mr. Andrew Gray, late minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. All these sermons being now carefully revised, and much corrected.	Gray, Andrew, 1633-1656.; Traill, Robert, 1642-1716.; Stirling, John, b. 1621?	1668 (1668)	Wing G1616; ESTC R177630	121,416	225

will_v tell_v the_o worst_a company_n that_o one_o shall_v have_v in_o hell_n it_o be_v always_o this_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o that_o place_n where_o hypocrite_n and_o sinner_n be_v and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v of_o your_o concernment_n that_o by_o the_o candle_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o will_v search_v the_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o belly_n before_o you_o go_v down_o to_o the_o grave_n with_o a_o lie_n in_o your_o right_a hand_n a_o deceive_a heart_n have_v turn_v you_o aside_o we_o confess_v it_o be_v sad_a to_o consider_v those_o anxious_a disappointment_n that_o many_o in_o these_o day_n shall_v once_o meet_v with_o iu._n but_o there_o be_v this_o last_o difference_n betwixt_o justify_v faith_n and_o temporary_a faith_n that_o there_o be_v three_o precious_a effect_n of_o justify_v faith_n which_o a_o temporary_a believer_n can_v win_v to_o 1._o to_o be_v deny_v to_o all_o his_o enjoyment_n and_o attainment_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o under_o they_o for_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o hypocrite_n to_o be_v deny_v to_o his_o enjoyment_n he_o make_v such_o a_o deity_n of_o they_o and_o worship_v they_o or_o rather_o he_o worship_v himself_o in_o they_o there_o be_v three_o great_a grace_n that_o a_o hypocrite_n do_v pursue_v after_o though_o he_o rather_o seek_v they_o as_o gift_n then_o as_o grace_n knowledge_n prayer_n and_o humility_n and_o though_o it_o be_v but_o little_a he_o can_v attain_v of_o any_o of_o the_o three_o or_o rather_o nothing_o in_o a_o save_a way_n yet_o lest_o of_o all_o can_v he_o attain_v to_o the_o last_o yea_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o there_o be_v always_o within_o his_o bosom_n a_o stand_a conviction_n that_o he_o can_v never_o win_v unto_o that_o gracious_a grace_n of_o humility_n o_o can_v you_o never_o win_v to_o this_o to_o count_v your_o own_o righteousness_n as_o filthy_a rag_n and_o to_o rejoice_v alone_o in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o crucify_a saviour_n i_o will_v press_v this_o upon_o you_o by_o the_o way_n o_o christian_n of_o this_o generation_n forget_v your_o perfection_n and_o remember_v your_o imperfection_n have_v a_o holy_a oblivion_n of_o your_o attainment_n but_o have_v a_o divine_a remembrance_n of_o your_o short-coming_n look_v more_o to_o what_o be_v before_o unperfect_v then_o to_o what_o be_v behind_o and_o thus_o shall_v you_o evidence_n true_a justify_v faith_n 2._o it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o justify_v faith_n to_o be_v under_o some_o constant_a and_o divine_a impression_n of_o the_o preciousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o that_o word_n 1_o pet._n 27._o to_o you_o who_o believe_v christ_n be_v precious_a it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v precious_a or_o shall_v be_v precious_a but_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v precious_a which_o do_v import_n as_o we_o use_v to_o speak_v a_o continue_a act_n do_v you_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o dwell_v twenty_o four_o hour_n under_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o matchless_a excellency_n and_o precious_a worth_n of_o a_o crucify_a saviour_n i_o will_v pose_v you_o with_o this_o be_v there_o not_o some_o here_o and_o else_o where_o that_o pass_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o saint_n that_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o dwell_v half_o a_o hour_n under_o these_o high_a and_o elevate_a thought_n of_o the_o preciousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o we_o profess_v we_o can_v tell_v whe●…er_o we_o shall_v call_v he_o precious_a or_o undervalue_v but_o we_o may_v conjoin_v these_o two_o together_o that_o he_o be_v a_o precious_a and_o yet_o undervalue_v christ_n 3._o by_o justify_v faith_n a_o christian_n win_v to_o mortification_n of_o his_o invisible_a &_o predominant_a lust_n which_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o temporary_a believer_n to_o win_v to_o and_o be_v there_o not_o a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o a_o idol_n when_o it_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o a_o idol_n when_o it_o but_o go_v out_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o great_a mortification_n of_o hypocrite_n the_o devil_n be_v live_v in_o they_o as_o one_o that_o be_v a_o black_a one_o and_o now_o he_o come_v again_o and_o transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n he_o be_v live_v in_o they_o before_o by_o his_o spirit_n of_o profanity_n and_o now_o he_o live_v in_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o counterfeit_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v never_o clear_a attainment_n while_o it_o be_v the_o noble_a dignity_n of_o faith_n act_v 15.9_o to_o purify_v the_o heart_n but_o be_v there_o not_o many_o here_o who_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o mortify_v one_o lust_n for_o christ_n can_v such_o a_o delusion_n overtake_v you_o o_o atheist_n that_o you_o shall_v reign_v with_o christ_n if_o you_o die_v not_o with_o he_o there_o be_v a_o opinion_n vent_v in_o these_o day_n that_o there_o may_v be_v repentance_n in_o heaven_n &_o i_o think_v it_o will_v seem_v that_o the_o christian_n of_o

and_o there_o it_o cry_v out_o here_o be_o i_o i_o will_v obey_v and_o hearken_v unto_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o word_n and_o 3._o faith_n look_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o there_o it_o do_v exult_v and_o sweet_o rejoice_v in_o divine_a expectation_n and_o o_o what_o a_o sight_n be_v that_o to_o behold_v that_o everlasting_a prince_n stand_v at_o the_o end_n of_o our_o race_n have_v a_o crown_n in_o his_o right_a hand_n with_o this_o motto_n engrave_v on_o it_o he_o that_o persever_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o what_o a_o faith_n suppose_v you_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v when_o we_o shall_v get_v on_o that_o immortal_a crown_n of_o blessedness_n what_o think_v you_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o those_o that_o be_v above_o o_o heaven_n heaven_n if_o we_o do_v know_v it_o

shall_v at_o this_o time_n shut_v up_o our_o discourse_n by_o speak_v a_o little_a to_o those_o thing_n in_o which_o a_o christian_a do_v ordinary_o meet_v with_o assurance_n of_o this_o interest_n in_o god_n and_o be_v put_v to_o the_o divine_a act_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n for_o there_o be_v some_o seal_a time_n to_o a_o christian_n i._o the_o first_o time_n of_o the_o seal_n be_v
