think_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n be_v evil_a and_o that_o they_o be_v evil_a to_o he_o when_o god_n do_v convince_v we_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v evil_a and_o that_o it_o be_v evil_a to_o we_o than_o we_o live_v and_o not_o before_o a_o man_n have_v a_o business_n to_o do_v if_o all_o be_v do_v but_o one_o thing_n this_o one_o thing_n cross_v all_o the_o rest_n but_o that_o be_v do_v our_o business_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v so_o in_o this_o life_n a_o man_n have_v many_o offer_v of_o grace_n which_o do_v not_o full_o persuade_v he_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o if_o god_n help_v be_v absent_a but_o when_o once_o he_o speak_v he_o do_v full_o convince_v and_o persuade_v we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o continue_v as_o satan_n hahave_v leave_n never_o give_v over_o vex_v man_n so_o the_o spirit_n keep_v we_o in_o good_a thing_n where_o there_o be_v this_o life_n there_o the_o spirit_n dwell_v but_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v this_o effectual_a persuasion_n do_v quest._n i_o answer_v answ._n when_o as_o god_n give_v a_o ear_n and_o speak_v a_o voice_n for_o it_o to_o hear_v he_o that_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v say_v christ_n let_v he_o hear_v 11.15_o we_o then_o hear_v when_o as_o there_o be_v a_o disposition_n wrought_v within_o we_o when_o as_o we_o preach_v there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v hard_a heart_n and_o nothing_o for_o to_o soften_v they_o therefore_o the_o word_n fall_v from_o they_o as_o rain_v from_o a_o stone_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n that_o god_n will_v choose_v he_o fit_v his_o heart_n and_o so_o he_o be_v persuade_v this_o be_v call_v the_o open_n of_o the_o understanding_n luke_n 24.45_o he_o open_v their_o understanding_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v the_o scripture_n when_o we_o speak_v to_o man_n we_o sow_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o fallow_a ground_n which_o will_v bear_v no_o corn_n unless_o god_n plough_v it_o those_o that_o see_v the_o miracle_n of_o the_o loaf_n esteem_v they_o not_o because_o their_o heart_n be_v harden_v ephe._n 4.18_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n through_o the_o ignorance_n that_o be_v in_o they_o because_o of_o the_o blindness_n of_o their_o heart_n that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o death_n the_o word_n or_o the_o threaten_n when_o god_n take_v away_o this_o hardness_n they_o be_v fit_a to_o harken_v then_o come_v light_v the_o begin_n of_o life_n which_o be_v the_o inform_v of_o the_o understanding_n to_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n those_o who_o have_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n if_o he_o speak_v it_o quicken_v they_o it_o be_v the_o inward_a voice_n that_o quicken_v seek_v therefore_o to_o god_n earnest_o that_o christ_n will_v speak_v to_o your_o heart_n you_o hear_v and_o be_v not_o quicken_v because_o he_o speak_v not_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o second_o point_n that_o all_o in_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o life_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o point_n that_o may_v be_v note_v out_o of_o these_o word_n and_o it_o be_v this_o 3._o that_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n man_n before_o be_v dead_a christ_n by_o his_o voice_n make_v they_o live_v man_n this_o voice_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n there_o be_v no_o voice_n but_o this_o that_o be_v able_a for_o to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o this_o text._n this_o proposition_n may_v be_v resolve_v into_o two_o part_n first_o nothing_o else_o be_v able_a second_o this_o be_v able_a for_o to_o do_v it_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o faith_n that_o it_o justify_v and_o nothing_o else_o but_o it_o can_v justify_v so_o may_v it_o be_v say_v of_o this_o voice_n that_o nothing_o else_o can_v translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o this_o can_v do_v it_o to_o translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o effectual_o to_o persuade_v and_o change_v the_o heart_n now_o nothing_o else_o can_v thus_o persuade_v and_o alter_v the_o heart_n but_o this_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n god_n himself_o frame_v the_o heart_n it_o be_v as_o a_o curious_a frame_v lock_n none_o can_v pick_v it_o but_o he_o that_o know_v the_o turn_n of_o it_o god_n only_o fit_v the_o persuasion_n and_o turn_n man_n persuasion_n be_v as_o one_o that_o will_v unlock_v a_o lock_n with_o a_o wrong_a key_n 9.27_o god_n only_o can_v persuade_v japheth_n to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o shem_n i_o can_v do_v it_o isaiah_n 57.19_o i_o create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n that_o be_v i_o make_v they_o to_o bring_v comfort_n i_o create_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n for_o peace_n by_o my_o power_n that_o this_o be_v so_o you_o may_v see_v by_o divers_a reason_n first_o that_o it_o be_v so_o see_v it_o by_o this_o point_n we_o speak_v to_o y_z e_o quick_a often_o time_n they_o believe_v not_o but_o the_o other_o do_v the_o same_o sometime_o believe_v sometime_o not_o if_o man_n be_v the_o sole_a cause_n the_o word_n will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n at_o all_o time_n second_o this_o be_v life_n and_o god_n only_o give_v life_n it_o be_v as_o the_o breathe_n of_o life_n into_o a_o clod_n of_o earth_n it_o require_v a_o almighty_a power_n to_o work_v this_o in_o those_o that_o believe_v eph._n 1.19.20_o the_o same_o power_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a raise_v we_o up_o it_o be_v a_o almighty_a action_n to_o give_v this_o life_n three_o if_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o christ_n and_o his_o voice_n to_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n he_o shall_v lose_v his_o chief_a sovereignty_n he_o quicken_v who_o he_o will_v he_o have_v compassion_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v compassion_n 9.15_o if_o man_n can_v translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n than_o it_o will_v not_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n to_o do_v it_o last_o as_o nothing_o else_o can_v do_v it_o so_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v able_a for_o to_o do_v it_o at_o the_o first_o creation_n all_o be_v make_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n 1.3_o he_o say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n and_o there_o be_v light_a let_v he_o say_v to_o any_o man_n follow_v i_o and_o he_o do_v it_o matth._n 9.9_o he_o say_v to_o the_o publican_n sit_v at_o the_o receipt_n of_o custom_n follow_v i_o and_o he_o leave_v all_o and_o rise_v up_o and_o follow_v he_o christ_n speak_v to_o his_o ear_n and_o heart_n make_v he_o to_o follow_v he_o his_o speech_n be_v like_o the_o speech_n of_o elias_n to_o elisha_n 19.20_o he_o follow_v he_o and_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o do_v it_o christ_n speak_v we_o can_v but_o follow_v he_o quest._n but_o what_o be_v this_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o translate_v man_n from_o death_n to_o life_n i_o answer_v ans._n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o inward_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o he_o persuade_v man_n effectual_o to_o turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o effectual_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o who_o ever_o do_v hear_v it_o live_v this_o voice_n renew_v and_o change_v man_n translate_n they_o from_o death_n to_o life_n now_o this_o effectual_a speak_n consist_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o propound_v the_o object_n the_o truth_n to_o the_o heart_n second_o in_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o truth_n first_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o heart_n all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n must_v be_v manifest_v to_o it_o than_o there_o must_v be_v light_n in_o the_o heart_n to_o apprehend_v these_o reason_n which_o be_v propound_v the_o scripture_n propound_v thing_n by_o authority_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v kindle_v light_n to_o apprehend_v they_o which_o another_o do_v not_o mark_v how_o moses_n beginning_n his_o book_n say_v 1.1_o that_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v thus_o and_o thus_o god_n do_v he_o do_v not_o persuade_v they_o by_o argument_n to_o believe_v it_o so_o john_n begin_v his_o gospel_n without_o persuasion_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n 1.1_o etc._n etc._n so_o the_o apostle_n commission_n be_v go_v and_o preach_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v 16.15.16_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v the_o word_n of_o itself_o be_v sufficient_a authority_n when_o the_o gospel_n itself_o be_v thus_o propound_v than_o the_o holy_a ghost_n kindle_v light_a and_o therefore_o this_o life_n begin_v when_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v propound_v and_o light_v kindle_v then_o this_o life_n be_v wrought_v now_o there_o

of_o glory_n three_o there_o be_v a_o death_n that_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o life_n of_o joy_n in_o hell_n there_o be_v a_o life_n man_n be_v not_o quite_o extinguish_v but_o yet_o man_n in_o

than_o man_n die_v this_o death_n of_o sorrow_n god_n join_v himself_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a to_o those_o who_o be_v not_o sanctify_v he_o join_v himself_o in_o a_o common_a
