argue_v to_o the_o believe_a hebrew_n heb._n 10.34_o and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n you_o have_v a_o unction_n from_o the_o holy_a one_o and_o you_o know_v all_o thing_n say_v the_o apostle_n john_n 1_o joh._n 2.29_o and_o again_o the_o anoint_v which_o you_o have_v receive_v of_o he_o teach_v you_o etc._n etc._n and_o it_o be_v truth_n and_o be_v no_o lie_n what_o be_v this_o unction_n and_o anoint_v even_o regeneration_n and_o the_o sanctify_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o work_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n in_o they_o this_o abide_n in_o they_o it_o teach_v they_o etc._n etc._n and_o this_o by_o the_o way_n give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o the_o contrary_a error_n and_o false_a doctrine_n and_o opinion_n which_o be_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n why_o there_o be_v so_o many_o strange_a tenant_n and_o conclusion_n which_o be_v broach_v and_o divulge_v not_o only_o in_o light_a matter_n and_o such_o as_o be_v of_o small_a concernment_n wherein_o every_o one_o have_v liberty_n to_o abound_v in_o his_o own_o sense_n so_o he_o disturb_v not_o the_o common_a peace_n of_o the_o church_n but_o in_o the_o very_a substantial_o and_o fundamental_o of_o religion_n the_o truth_n of_o it_o plain_o be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o defect_n as_o to_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n therefore_o we_o have_v so_o many_o heretic_n because_o we_o have_v so_o many_o hypocrite_n if_o man_n have_v better_a heart_n they_o will_v have_v better_a head_n and_o if_o they_o be_v better_a christian_n they_o will_v be_v better_a divine_n but_o because_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o one_o therefore_o they_o prove_v defective_a in_o the_o other_o that_o man_n that_o have_v a_o gracious_a spirit_n he_o can_v easy_o have_v a_o corrupt_a judgement_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o godliness_n because_o his_o experience_n will_v set_v he_o right_n and_o prevent_v such_o corruption_n in_o he_o indeed_o it_o do_v not_o hold_v reciprocal_o and_o è_fw-la conuerso_fw-la a_o man_n may_v be_v orthodox_n in_o his_o judgement_n and_o yet_o but_o barren_a in_o his_o heart_n as_o not_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o but_o he_o can_v be_v savoury_a in_o his_o spirit_n and_o rot_a and_o unfound_a in_o his_o judgement_n in_o a_o spiritual_a truth_n at_o least_o so_o as_o long_o to_o abide_v and_o continue_v in_o it_o what_o ever_o he_o may_v for_o a_o fit_a and_o in_o a_o temptation_n be_v subject_a unto_o as_o in_o any_o vice_n or_o enormity_n of_o practice_n yet_o to_o abide_v in_o it_o that_o he_o will_v not_o no_o more_o than_o he_o will_v in_o the_o other_o no_o if_o he_o be_v right_a in_o affection_n he_o will_v according_o be_v right_o in_o opinion_n and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o he_o will_v not_o but_o then_o he_o will_v recover_v himself_o again_o these_o distemper_n they_o lie_v not_o in_o the_o brain_n so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o heart_n original_o and_o in_o the_o brain_n only_o symptomatical_o by_o sympathy_n and_o complication_n you_o know_v as_o concern_v the_o working_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o a_o natural_a way_n there_o may_v be_v sometime_o strange_a fancy_n and_o conceit_n arise_v from_o some_o light_a melancholy_a and_o distemper_n of_o body_n but_o where_o there_o be_v contradiction_n of_o reason_n and_o common_a sense_n it_o argue_v laesa_fw-la principia_fw-la some_o distraction_n or_o phrenetical_a humour_n even_o so_o here_o in_o these_o spiritual_a improvement_n man_n may_v perchance_o err_v in_o light_a matter_n through_o ignorance_n or_o non-attendency_a but_o to_o err_v in_o fundamental_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o some_o substantial_a defect_n as_o to_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n itself_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n especial_o why_o those_o which_o be_v of_o false_a heart_n shall_v be_v of_o false_a judgement_n in_o religion_n the_o one_o be_v direct_a and_o immediate_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o the_o effect_n flow_v from_o its_o proper_a and_o univocal_a cause_n and_o the_o other_o occasional_a and_o consequential_a as_o proceed_v from_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o because_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v therefore_o send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v lie_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v as_o a_o improvement_n of_o this_o point_n what_o great_a cause_n we_o every_o one_o have_v to_o make_v this_o work_n sure_a to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v indeed_o such_o person_n as_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v bear_v in_o zion_n now_o further_o where_o we_o prove_v to_o be_v so_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n likewise_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o and_o to_o bless_v and_o praise_n god_n for_o it_o and_o the_o opportunity_n of_o it_o as_o who_o have_v please_v to_o deal_v so_o gracious_o with_o we_o as_o herein_o he_o have_v do_v when_o all_o be_v do_v this_o be_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o all_o and_o there_o be_v none_o like_o unto_o it_o it_o be_v the_o original_n and_o fundamental_a mercy_n and_o which_o lay_v the_o ground_n for_o all_o the_o rest_n look_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o world_n all_o the_o consequent_a comfort_n of_o it_o they_o depend_v upon_o our_o birth_n into_o it_o if_o we_o be_v stifle_v in_o the_o birth_n there_o be_v a_o period_n to_o all_o our_o
