teach_a priest_n and_o without_o the_o law_n all_o that_o time_n while_o they_o be_v without_o the_o law_n and_o the_o priest_n to_o teach_v they_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v without_o god_n those_o that_o live_v without_o a_o save_a knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o have_v no_o real_a interest_n in_o god_n joh._n 8._o 54_o 55._o 55._o you_o say_v say_v christ_n that_o he_o be_v your_o god_n and_o yet_o you_o have_v not_o know_v he_o intimate_v that_o god_n be_v not_o their_o god_n because_o they_o be_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o he_o now_o beloved_n every_o

be_o of_o god_n i_o know_v he_o and_o i_o keep_v his_o say_n intimate_v that_o that_o man_n that_o do_v lay_v claim_n to_o god_n as_o his_o god_n must_v know_v he_o and_o this_o knowledge_n of_o he_o

wretch_n that_o do_v know_v nothing_o of_o god_n at_o all_o as_o i_o ought_v to_o know_v he_o and_o therefore_o sure_o i_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o god_n my_o god_n ans_fw-fr now_o to_o such_o as_o you_o be_v by_o way_n of_o answ_n answer_n i_o shall_v leave_v these_o two_o or_o three_o word_n for_o your_o comfort_n 1._o take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n that_o in_o scripture_n account_v to_o complain_v of_o thy_o ignorance_n be_v a_o good_a degree_n of_o knowledge_n in_o prov._n 30._o 23._o you_o read_v there_o of_o agur_n who_o be_v a_o excellent_a man_n in_o virtue_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o time_n of_o solomon_n and_o yet_o you_o shall_v not_o read_v of_o a_o man_n that_o more_o complain_v of_o his_o ignorance_n then_o this_o man_n do_v sure_o say_v he_o i_o be_o more_o brutish_a 23._o than_o any_o man_n and_o have_v not_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n i_o have_v neither_o learned_a wisdom_n nor_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a and_o yet_o this_o man_n that_o so_o much_o complain_v of_o his_o ignorance_n do_v demonstrate_v such_o fruit_n of_o grace_n and_o knowledge_n in_o his_o practice_n as_o ever_o man_n do_v 2._o take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n that_o in_o god_n account_n he_o know_v most_o that_o do_v most_o he_o do_v not_o know_v most_o that_o have_v a_o great_a judgement_n to_o dive_v into_o and_o dispute_v about_o vain_a question_n and_o nicety_n but_o he_o be_v a_o know_a man_n in_o god_n account_n that_o do_v walk_v answerable_o to_o that_o small_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n that_o he_o have_v as_o in_o psal_n 111._o 10._o a_o good_a understanding_n have_v all_o they_o 10._o that_o do_v thy_o commandment_n god_n do_v not_o measure_v your_o knowledge_n by_o your_o question_n and_o dispute_n but_o by_o your_o practice_n as_o in_o jer._n 22._o 16._o he_o judge_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o poor_a 16._o and_o needy_a than_o it_o be_v well_o with_o he_o be_v not_o this_o to_o know_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n 3._o take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o want_v of_o some_o measure_n or_o degree_n of_o knowledge_n nor_o the_o have_v of_o much_o ignorance_n that_o do_v demonstrate_v thy_o want_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o god_n unless_o your_o ignorance_n have_v these_o three_o property_n with_o it_o as_o 1._o suppose_v thou_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n yet_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o conceited_o ignorant_a if_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o self-conceited_a man_n that_o think_v thou_o know_v much_o when_o thou_o know_v little_a thou_o be_v well_o enough_o if_o you_o be_v not_o like_o those_o in_o hos._n 8._o 2._o israel_n 2._o shall_v say_v unto_o i_o my_o god_n we_o know_v thou_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n nor_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n 2._o if_o thou_o do_v not_o sit_v down_o content_o in_o thy_o ignorance_n but_o do_v labour_n and_o endeavour_v after_o more_o knowledge_n than_o thy_o condition_n be_v good_a enough_o but_o if_o thou_o say_v unto_o god_n depart_v from_o i_o for_o i_o desire_v 14._o not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thy_o way_n like_o those_o speak_v of_o in_o job_n this_o be_v a_o sad_a sign_n that_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o god_n at_o all_o 3._o if_o thou_o be_v not_o obstinate_o ignorant_a like_o those_o speak_v of_o in_o psal_n 82._o 5._o they_o know_v not_o neither_o will_v they_o understand_v when_o man_n be_v ignorant_a and_o will_v be_v ignorant_a this_o be_v a_o evidence_n that_o they_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o god_n in_o 2_o pet._n 3._o 5._o say_v the_o apostle_n these_o thing_n they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a of_o now_o if_o your_o ignorance_n be_v accompany_v with_o these_o three_o circumstance_n that_o you_o be_v conceited_o and_o content_o and_o obstinate_o ignorant_a if_o it_o be_v so_o the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a to_o you_o for_o these_o be_v apparent_a demonstration_n that_o you_o have_v yet_o no_o interest_n and_o propriety_n in_o god_n as_o your_o god_n but_o though_o you_o have_v abundance_n of_o ignorance_n in_o you_o yet_o if_o you_o bewail_v your_o ignorance_n and_o labour_n and_o desire_v after_o more_o knowledge_n if_o you_o follow_v on_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n and_o be_v not_o obstinate_o ignorant_a but_o will_v do_v more_o if_o you_o know_v more_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o you_o thy_o ignorance_n do_v not_o evidence_n that_o thou_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o god_n 2._o another_o character_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v without_o a_o interest_n in_o god_n be_v this_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o that_o live_v in_o the_o world_n without_o make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o rule_n joh._n 8._o 47._o he_o that_o be_v of_o god_n hear_v 47._o god_n word_n you_o therefore_o hear_v he_o not_o because_o you_o be_v not_o of_o god_n those_o that_o will_v not_o make_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v their_o rule_n and_o conform_v their_o practice_n in_o obedience_n thereunto_o christ_n say_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o so_o in_o 1_o joh._n 6._o 4._o 6._o he_o that_o know_v god_n hear_v we_o and_o he_o that_o be_v not_o of_o god_n hear_v not_o we_o and_o therefore_o you_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o vain_a imagination_n of_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o be_v sway_v and_o rule_v by_o your_o lust_n and_o will_v not_o make_v god_n word_n a_o bridle_n to_o curb_v and_o restrain_v your_o lust_n and_o corruption_n but_o you_o will_v do_v what_o you_o list_v let_v god_n command_v what_o he_o will_v all_o these_o be_v manifest_a argument_n that_o you_o be_v not_o of_o god_n 3._o that_o man_n be_v without_o a_o interest_n in_o god_n that_o live_v in_o the_o world_n without_o make_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o pleasure_n as_o in_o joh._n 3._o 8._o 10._o in_o this_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a and_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n whosoever_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o god_n righteousness_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v here_o only_o for_o justice_n or_o civil_a righteousness_n but_o for_o the_o whole_a bulk_n of_o godliness_n &_o the_o body_n of_o christianity_n he_o that_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o god_n this_v not_o do_v of_o righteousness_n be_v answerable_a to_o the_o commit_n of_o sin_n in_o 1_o joh._n 3._o 8._o the_o text_n say_v he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n now_o this_o be_v not_o
