it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o spiritual_a voyage_n that_o the_o lord_n lead_v his_o choose_a by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o minister_n by_o they_o he_o 4.12_o he_o ephes_n 4.12_o gather_v together_o his_o saint_n these_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v all_o of_o they_o sure_a ground_n that_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o the_o way_n of_o life_n be_v to_o we_o unknown_a and_o therefore_o we_o need_v a_o guide_n second_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o only_a true_a guide_n three_o that_o he_o have_v register_v all_o his_o direction_n in_o his_o word_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n &_o that_o for_o the_o dispense_n of_o his_o word_n notwithstanding_o the_o private_a use_n which_o every_o christian_a may_v &_o aught_o to_o have_v of_o it_o he_o have_v ordain_v public_a teach_n by_o which_o to_o guide_v our_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n he_o that_o be_v dispose_v to_o be_v captious_a let_v he_o think_v well_o which_o of_o all_o these_o he_o can_v except_v against_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o will_v take_v they_o for_o truth_n and_o so_o make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o they_o this_o show_v that_o albeit_o the_o most_o of_o we_o at_o this_o day_n that_o profess_v religion_n use_v use_v have_v choose_v guide_v unto_o ourselves_o yet_o we_o fail_v in_o choose_v the_o true_a direction_n some_o be_v guide_v by_o their_o own_o private_a conceit_n some_o by_o the_o guise_n of_o the_o time_n some_o go_v with_o the_o drove_n and_o be_v carry_v with_o the_o multitude_n some_o be_v lead_v only_o by_o the_o course_n of_o their_o forefather_n they_o hold_v

his_o church_n be_v least_o look_v after_o each_o man_n in_o those_o case_n think_v himself_o wise_a enough_o to_o be_v his_o own_o adviser_n in_o physic_n we_o fear_v our_o own_o judgement_n and_o believe_v the_o doctor_n in_o the_o law_n our_o counsellor_n in_o other_o thing_n we_o seek_v to_o man_n that_o profess_v knowledge_n and_o be_v of_o understanding_n in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o we_o desire_v direction_n but_o in_o divinity_n and_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o soul_n most_o man_n imagine_v they_o be_v able_a to_o afford_v themselves_o counsel_n good_a enough_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n be_v not_o care_v for_o the_o open_n of_o it_o by_o exposition_n the_o urge_v it_o by_o exhortatation_n and_o reproof_n these_o thing_n be_v little_o esteem_v and_o indeed_o if_o man_n be_v so_o wise_a that_o they_o can_v by_o their_o wisdom_n guide_v themselves_o wherefore_o shall_v they_o value_v they_o but_o curse_v be_v the_o man_n say_v the_o 17.5_o the_o jerem._n 17.5_o scripture_n that_o make_v flesh_n his_o arm_n and_o withdraw_v his_o heart_n from_o the_o lord_n god_n curse_v the_o fancy_n of_o man_n own_o heart_n and_o give_v a_o blessing_n only_o to_o the_o obedient_a yield_v to_o his_o own_o ordinance_n what_o course_n soever_o be_v frame_v without_o the_o word_n be_v it_o in_o man_n reason_n never_o so_o plausible_a nay_o whatsoever_o be_v seek_v for_o in_o the_o word_n with_o a_o rely_v upon_o a_o man_n own_o private_a collection_n in_o contempt_n or_o neglect_n of_o the_o public_a mean_n the_o lord_n do_v never_o bless_v it_o it_o turn_v into_o error_n and_o lead_v those_o that_o trust_v unto_o it_o into_o destruction_n this_o therefore_o we_o be_v teach_v hence_o if_o we_o desire_v as_o become_v we_o to_o proceed_v in_o good_a thing_n and_o according_a to_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o be_v lead_v forward_o unto_o perfection_n we_o must_v seek_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o only_a true_a guide_n christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o scripture_n if_o we_o be_v stranger_n in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n we_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v mistake_v if_o we_o will_v make_v true_a benefit_n by_o the_o word_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n must_v be_v regard_v and_o what_o ever_o he_o be_v that_o will_v be_v guide_v in_o the_o way_n of_o life_n he_o must_v range_v himself_o among_o the_o

perhaps_o this_o be_v a_o very_a uncertain_a and_o hazardous_a course_n to_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o man_n especial_o now_o a_o day_n when_o as_o the_o world_n be_v so_o full_a of_o

to_o build_v upon_o man_n as_o though_o we_o shall_v receive_v direction_n for_o matter_n of_o salvation_n upon_o trust_n believe_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v commend_v to_o we_o by_o those_o that_o
