with_o worldly_a and_o sensual_a engagement_n or_o overacted_n upon_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v they_o become_v awkward_a indispose_v and_o unserviceable_a for_o spiritual_a negotiation_n and_o

and_o rough_a behaviour_n can_v present_o change_v their_o temper_n and_o disposition_n and_o so_o become_v capable_a of_o converse_v orderly_o and_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o civility_n with_o person_n of_o better_a quality_n and_o more_o refine_a carriage_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o consciousness_n to_o themselves_o in_o this_o kind_n they_o avoid_v as_o much_o as_o well_o they_o may_v the_o company_n of_o such_o person_n in_o like_a manner_n those_o divine_a discovery_n make_v in_o the_o gospel_n those_o vein_n of_o wisdom_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n there_o upon_o which_o i_o mean_v upon_o the_o apprehension_n of_o which_o the_o high_a raising_n and_o lifting_n up_o in_o evangelical_n consolation_n of_o which_o we_o speak_v chief_o depend_v be_v of_o a_o very_a fine_a spin_v very_o spiritual_a and_o remote_a from_o the_o common_a thought_n and_o apprehension_n of_o man_n and_o much_o more_o from_o the_o thought_n of_o such_o mind_n and_o understanding_n which_o have_v accustom_v themselves_o whole_o in_o a_o manner_n to_o this_o world_n affair_n person_n of_o this_o character_n know_v that_o these_o thing_n lie_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o their_o genius_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o conceive_v of_o they_o with_o much_o contentment_n to_o themselves_o nor_o to_o speak_v of_o they_o with_o contentment_n unto_o other_o in_o these_o respect_n take_v little_a or_o no_o pleasure_n to_o inquire_v after_o they_o nor_o to_o engage_v themselves_o to_o any_o purpose_n in_o the_o study_n of_o they_o so_o then_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o such_o person_n who_o be_v over-intent_n and_o bent_n upon_o this_o present_a world_n be_v not_o like_a to_o ascend_v in_o spirit_n into_o the_o region_n of_o light_n where_o the_o consolation_n we_o speak_v of_o have_v their_o dwell_n and_o be_v to_o be_v find_v viz._n because_o by_o continual_a dig_v in_o the_o earth_n with_o their_o reason_n apprehension_n and_o

the_o comfort_n thereof_o be_v lay_v up_o as_o in_o a_o store-house_n second_o another_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o as_o we_o late_o hear_v the_o revelation_n and_o discovery_n of_o these_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o understanding_n and_o clear_a apprehension_n whereof_o as_o we_o late_o likewise_o show_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o say_a consolation_n lie_v be_v make_v over_o or_o as_o we_o may_v speak_v safe_o enough_o and_o yet_o more_o plain_o be_v promise_v by_o god_n by_o way_n of_o reward_n unto_o those_o that_o love_v he_o and_o proportionable_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o they_o to_o those_o that_o love_v he_o above_o the_o rate_n of_o his_o ordinary_a friend_n now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n express_o inform_v we_o 1_o joh._n 2.15_o that_o if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o yea_o the_o apostle_n james_n go_v somewhat_o further_o or_o at_o least_o speak_v more_o plain_o affirm_v that_o the_o friendship_n of_o the_o world_n be_v enmity_n with_o god_n and_o that_o whosoever_o will_v be_v a_o friend_n unto_o the_o world_n be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o god_n james_n 4.4_o if_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o man_n the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n such_o as_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o

this_o then_o in_o a_o word_n be_v another_o reason_n why_o person_n much_o addict_v to_o this_o present_a world_n be_v not_o like_a to_o sit_v at_o the_o upper_a end_n of_o the_o table_n which_o be_v

choice_a of_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o be_v hard_o of_o bowel_n cruel_a unmerciful_a hard_a to_o forget_v and_o forgive_v injury_n yea_o who_o have_v not_o eye_n and_o heart_n full_a of_o commiseration_n and_o of_o pity_n heart_n well_o exercise_v with_o mercy_n for_o as_o mercy_n in_o the_o apostle_n jame_n

a_o encumbrance_n upon_o the_o mind_n and_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n and_o so_o a_o hindrance_n unto_o he_o from_o attend_v cheerful_o to_o any_o thing_n give_v by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n touch_v the_o manner_n and_o mean_n of_o obtain_v a_o thing_n when_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v impossible_a to_o be_v obtain_v therefore_o as_o to_o the_o question_v propound_v about_o this_o how_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v or_o be_v likely_a to_o be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o much_o more_o a_o fullness_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v obtain_v by_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n i_o reply_v first_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n upon_o any_o such_o term_n as_o if_o man_n be_v strong_a than_o he_o or_o can_v compel_v or_o necessitate_v he_o by_o any_o force_n or_o strength_n proper_o so_o call_v to_o turn_v in_o unto_o they_o or_o the_o like_a but_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v the_o thought_n of_o no_o man_n heart_n be_v we_o strong_a than_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 10.22_o therefore_o certain_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obtain_v upon_o any_o such_o term_n second_o neither_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o a_o fullness_n with_o he_o to_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n upon_o any_o such_o term_n or_o in_o any_o such_o consideration_n as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o any_o worth_n goodness_n or_o the_o like_a in_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n in_o one_o kind_n or_o other_o which_o may_v in_o a_o way_n of_o merit_n challenge_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o god_n much_o less_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o be_v fill_v with_o he_o import_v no_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o such_o term_n as_o these_o be_v like_o the_o redeem_n of_o the_o life_n or_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n brother_n from_o the_o grave_a psal_n 49.7_o which_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v must_v cease_v for_o ever_o and_o such_o a_o thought_n of_o heart_n in_o any_o man_n be_v not_o much_o better_a than_o that_o of_o simon_n magus_n when_o as_o peter_n charge_v he_o he_o think_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v purchase_v with_o money_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o any_o way_n imply_v in_o the_o doctrine_n in_o hand_n three_o neither_o be_v

which_o may_v seem_v to_o encumber_v they_o and_o to_o weaken_v the_o truth_n or_o authority_n of_o they_o first_o then_o that_o man_n may_v attain_v to_o a_o freedom_n from_o all_o troublesome_a and_o torment_a care_n and_o fear_n and_o whatever_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v apt_a to_o render_v the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n less_o comfortable_a less_o desirable_a without_o any_o such_o high_a
