i_o i_o find_v universal_o that_o comfort_n stick_v there_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o remove_v that_o objection_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o labour_v to_o have_v a_o good_a

be_v no_o talk_v of_o the_o application_n of_o faith_n upon_o they_o we_o must_v make_v that_o our_o own_o in_o particular_a which_o we_o believe_v first_o in_o general_n and_o therefore_o christian_n must_v first_o be_v well_o see_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o promise_n there_o that_o they_o may_v know_v what_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o apply_v they_o to_o themselves_o i_o but_o my_o faith_n be_v weak_a i_o answer_v the_o office_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o know_v christ_n and_o the_o weak_a faith_n will_v do_v that_o as_o well_o as_o the_o strong_a and_o when_o we_o be_v once_o one_o with_o christ_n than_o our_o perfection_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o faith_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n and_o then_o look_v to_o he_o for_o all_o perfection_n and_o for_o thy_o title_n to_o he_o in_o heaven_n and_o not_o in_o thy_o faith_n and_o true_a faith_n be_v faith_n even_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o it_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o element_n every_o drop_n of_o water_n be_v water_n and_o every_o spark_n of_o fire_n be_v fire_n and_o therefore_o the_o argument_n will_v not_o hold_v if_o we_o have_v not_o much_o faith_n we_o have_v no_o faith_n or_o if_o we_o have_v no_o feel_n we_o have_v no_o faith_n there_o be_v many_o common_a error_n which_o we_o must_v remove_v that_o they_o may_v not_o hinder_v we_o in_o the_o application_n of_o christ_n by_o distinguish_v between_o strong_a grace_n and_o true_a grace_n and_o above_o all_o labour_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o tenor_n of_o which_o require_v no_o set_a measure_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o we_o believe_v we_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n under_o so_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a a_o covenant_n be_v we_o 2_o but_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v the_o soul_n the_o very_a cleave_v to_o christ_n be_v indeed_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o comfort_n but_o yet_o to_o obtain_v actual_a comfort_n there_o must_v be_v a_o knowledge_n that_o we_o do_v cleave_v to_o christ_n and_o believe_v there_o may_v be_v adherence_n without_o evidence_n and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o act_n of_o reflection_n to_o cause_n faith_n of_o evidence_n it_o must_v appear_v to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o do_v believe_v before_o we_o can_v have_v comfort_n though_o we_o may_v be_v true_a christian_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n without_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o in_o our_o own_o apprehension_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o sure_a in_o itself_o and_o in_o god_n breast_n yet_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o make_v it_o sure_a in_o our_o own_o breast_n that_o sin_n may_v be_v pardon_v in_o our_o own_o

you_o see_v what_o advise_v the_o apostle_n give_v give_v all_o diligence_n it_o be_v not_o get_v without_o diligence_n nor_o without_o all_o diligence_n to_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a 1._o that_o be_v to_o make_v our_o election_n sure_a by_o our_o call_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o add_v grace_n to_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o grow_a christian_a that_o be_v the_o assure_v

speak_v 3_o and_o when_o we_o have_v attain_v any_o evidence_n of_o true_a faith_n labour_v to_o keep_v that_o our_o evidence_n clear_a let_v it_o not_o be_v spot_v or_o defile_v by_o any_o sinful_a act_n you_o have_v many_o a_o good_a evidence_n that_o be_v so_o blur_v with_o negligence_n and_o daily_a error_n in_o speech_n and_o conversation_n that_o when_o they_o reflect_v upon_o themselves_o they_o conclude_v can_v such_o a_o wretch_n as_o i_o that_o have_v so_o loose_a a_o tongue_n that_o have_v no_o more_o watchfulness_n over_o my_o heart_n have_v any_o faith_n at_o all_o and_o thus_o

when_o it_o be_v purge_v and_o pacify_v then_o keep_v it_o clean_o for_o a_o foul_a soul_n be_v always_o a_o trouble_a soul_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v quiet_a yet_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o break_v out_o afterward_o and_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o comfort_n than_o there_o be_v care_n of_o duty_n therefore_o together_o with_o innocence_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a of_o all_o duty_n in_o all_o our_o several_a relation_n let_v we_o consider_v in_o what_o relation_n we_o stand_v and_o what_o duty_n we_o owe_v and_o be_v careful_a to_o satisfy_v they_o all_o neglect_v of_o duty_n be_v a_o debt_n and_o debt_n be_v troublesome_a when_o the_o soul_n reflect_v upon_o the_o omission_n of_o a_o necessary_a duty_n i_o owe_v such_o a_o duty_n to_o such_o a_o person_n i_o shall_v have_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o such_o a_o relation_n but_o i_o have_v omit_v it_o it_o be_v a_o disquietment_n and_o that_o upon_o good_a ground_n and_o if_o you_o have_v be_v negligent_a there_o must_v be_v a_o actual_a renew_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o a_o set_n upon_o the_o duty_n with_o fresh_a endeavour_n to_o make_v amends_o for_o former_a negligence_n or_o else_o the_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o comfort_n nor_o will_v god_n suffer_v it_o to_o admit_v of_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n do_v still_o tremble_v and_o be_v trouble_v with_o this_o doubt_n and_o that_o fear_v be_v because_o their_o salvation_n be_v not_o wrought_v out_o something_o be_v leave_v undo_v and_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o so_o but_o above_o all_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v comfort_n let_v we_o labour_v for_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n therefore_o here_o it_o be_v say_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o christ_n bring_v they_o to_o faith_n for_o comfort_n and_o he_o set_v down_o a_o a_o double_a object_n of_o faith_n god_n that_o be_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a

his_o suffering_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o will_v hereafter_o when_o you_o see_v i_o so_o handle_v and_o upon_o the_o cross_n doubt_v and_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o i_o be_o god_n and_o the_o messiah_n of_o the_o world_n or_o no._n but_o if_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v in_o i_o for_o howsoever_o in_o love_n to_o you_o and_o mankind_n i_o take_v man_n nature_n on_o i_o and_o be_o abase_v yet_o in_o my_o great_a abasement_n remember_v this_o that_o i_o be_o god_n and_o sure_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v stay_v the_o soul_n more_o especial_o when_o it_o be_v deep_o humble_v then_o to_o consider_v god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n incarnate_a and_o abase_v and_o crucify_v and_o make_v a_o curse_n and_o sin_n for_o we_o to_o see_v the_o great_a god_n of_o

establish_v the_o soul_n indeed_o can_v the_o the_o soul_n think_v that_o this_o be_v do_v for_o any_o small_a or_o to_o little_a purpose_n or_o can_v there_o be_v any_o grief_n or_o sin_n that_o shall_v hinder_v comfort_n or_o persuasion_n of_o the_o possibility_n of_o pardon_n when_o the_o great_a god_n become_v man_n on_o purpose_n to_o die_v for_o sin_n we_o may_v set_v this_o against_o all_o discouragement_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o howsoever_o you_o see_v i_o abase_v yet_o you_o may_v have_v comfort_n in_o my_o abasement_n for_o

at_o that_o he_o rejoice_v in_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_v in_o anything_o but_o in_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n reconciliation_n and_o title_n to_o happiness_n be_v all_o found_v upon_o christ_n crucify_v and_o then_o again_o you_o see_v he_o join_v both_o together_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o to_o show_v the_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n all_o our_o faith_n be_v resolve_v at_o length_n into_o one_o god_n but_o yet_o withal_o into_o three_o person_n in_o that_o divine_a nature_n because_o as_o there_o be_v god_n the_o father_n offend_v so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o satisfy_v that_o god_n and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o reveal_v and_o apply_v that_o satisfaction_n the_o soul_n be_v so_o full_a of_o doubt_n that_o nothing_o can_v set_v it_o down_o but_o that_o which_o be_v above_o
