if_o we_o do_v not_o the_o same_o yet_o he_o require_v not_o these_o thing_n further_o of_o we_o then_o to_o make_v we_o more_o in_o love_n and_o more_o certain_a of_o this_o his_o covenant_n that_o

our_o eternal_a joy_n therefore_o as_o i_o say_v because_o god_n be_v your_o father_n in_o christ_n and_o require_v of_o you_o straight_o to_o believe_v it_o give_v yourself_o to_o obedience_n although_o you_o do_v it_o not_o with_o such_o feel_n as_o you_o desire_v note_n first_o must_v faith_n go_v before_o and_o then_o feeling_n will_v follow_v if_o our_o jmperfection_n frailty_n &_o many_o evil_n shall_v be_v occasion_n whereby_o satan_n will_v have_v we_o doubt_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v let_v we_o abhor_v that_o suggestion_n as_o of_o all_o other_o most_o pernicious_a for_o so_o indeed_o it_o be_v for_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o doubt_n whether_o god_n be_v our_o father_n or_o no_o we_o can_v be_v thankful_a to_o god_n we_o can_v hearty_o pray_v or_o think_v any_o thing_n we_o do_v acceptable_a to_o god_n we_o can_v love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o give_v over_o ourselves_o to_o care_n for_o they_o and_o do_v for_o they_o as_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o satan_n be_v most_o busy_a hereabout_o know_v full_a well_o that_o if_o we_o doubt_v of_o god_n eternal_a sweet_a mercy_n in_o christ_n we_o can_v please_v god_n or_o do_v any_o thing_n as_o we_o

therefore_o my_o good_a sister_n we_o must_v not_o be_v sluggish_a herein_o but_o as_o satan_n labour_v to_o loosen_v our_o faith_n so_o must_v we_o labour_v to_o fasten_v it_o by_o think_v on_o the_o promise_n and_o covenant_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n blood_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v our_o god_n with_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v which_o covenant_n depend_v and_o hang_v upon_o god_n own_o goodness_n mercy_n and_o truth_n only_o and_o not_o on_o our_o obedience_n and_o worthiness_n in_o any_o point_n for_o than_o shall_v we_o never_o be_v certain_a note_n indeed_o god_n require_v of_o we_o obedience_n and_o worthiness_n but_o not_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v make_v his_o child_n and_o he_o our_o father_n but_o because_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o we_o his_o child_n through_o his_o own_o goodness_n in_o christ_n therefore_o require_v he_o faith_n and_o obedience_n now_o if_o we_o want_v this_o obedience_n &_o worthiness_n which_o he_o require_v shall_v we_o therefore_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v our_o father_n nay_o that_o be_v to_o make_v our_o obedience_n &_o worthiness_n the_o cause_n and_o so_o to_o put_v christ_n out_o of_o place_n for_o who_o sake_n god_n be_v our_o father_n but_o rather_o because_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o we_o feel_v ourselves_o to_o want_v such_o thing_n as_o he_o require_v we_o shall_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o a_o

dear_a father_n thou_o of_o thy_o own_o mercy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v choose_v i_o to_o be_v thy_o child_n and_o therefore_o thou_o will_v i_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o thy_o church_n and_o
