thing_n please_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o my_o father_n there_o be_v no_o guile_n find_v in_o my_o mouth_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n find_v in_o i_o without_o sin_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o the_o temptation_n that_o ever_o can_v be_v congregat_v upon_o i_o here_o therefore_o take_v this_o obedience_n of_o i_o and_o let_v it_o stand_v against_o thy_o disobedience_n against_o thy_o many_o sin_n thy_o many_o provocation_n and_o transgression_n i_o have_v come_v by_o pure_a water_n and_o so_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o fountain_n open_v for_o sin_n and_o for_o uncleanness_n zech._n 13._o 1._o and_o he_o lead_v they_o to_o the_o fountain_n of_o live_a water_n in_o his_o own_o righteousness_n in_o his_o own_o obedience_n and_o have_v the_o heart_n sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n and_o the_o body_n wash_v with_o pure_a water_n that_o be_v not_o of_o sanctification_n as_o we_o may_v be_v very_o apt_a to_o understand_v it_o i_o say_v not_o principal_o i_o never_o exclude_v sanctification_n but_o not_o principal_o but_o that_o purity_n of_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o we_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n through_o he_o and_o when_o this_o water_n speak_v in_o this_o sense_n that_o i_o have_v now_o lay_v down_o to_o you_o it_o give_v that_o great_a assurance_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n wrath_n and_o eternal_a condemnation_n for_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o it_o the_o second_o thing_n in_o which_o i_o will_v be_v very_o brief_a be_v the_o spirit_n that_o give_v witness_v you_o know_v that_o be_v a_o general_a allow_v doctrine_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n seal_v up_o to_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n it_o be_v the_o earnest_a of_o it_o in_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o witness_n of_o absolution_n that_o it_o give_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o promise_n after_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v seal_v with_o that_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n which_o be_v the_o earnest_n of_o our_o inheritance_n the_o spirit_n itself_o bear_v witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o hence_o arise_v the_o great_a assurance_n of_o faith_n o_o when_o a_o man_n can_v find_v the_o word_n of_o the_o spirit_n within_o that_o word_n in_o his_o own_o soul_n that_o his_o iniquity_n be_v pardon_v and_o his_o sin_n forgive_v the_o spirit_n be_v a_o mighty_a witness_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v truth_n he_o be_v able_a to_o spread_v his_o witness_n throughout_o the_o whole_a soul_n to_o seal_v up_o the_o whole_a soul_n to_o himself_o but_o then_o the_o last_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o be_v this_o there_o come_v in_o that_o mighty_a authoritative_a and_o original_a act_n of_o the_o father_n say_v i_o have_v forgive_v thy_o iniquity_n i_o have_v pardon_v thy_o sin_n and_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v convey_v especial_o in_o that_o voice_n that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o three_o evangelist_n matt._n 17._o v._n 5._o there_o come_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v from_o the_o excellent_a majesty_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v that_o be_v i_o have_v accept_v he_o for_o a_o ransom_n i_o have_v accept_v his_o obedience_n i_o have_v free_o forgive_v iniquity_n for_o his_o sake_n for_o he_o be_v myself_o he_o be_v my_o son_n he_o be_v i_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v it_o free_o and_o yet_o i_o do_v it_o for_o his_o sake_n because_o he_o have_v give_v a_o recompense_n a_o satisfaction_n to_o justice_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v eph._n 1._o 5._o who_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a and_o in_o who_o we_o have_v redemption_n in_o his_o blood_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n love_v i_o and_o whatsoever_o you_o ask_v in_o my_o name_n the_o father_n will_v do_v it_o for_o you_o there_o come_v in_o the_o great_a evidence_n testimony_n and_o assurance_n of_o the_o father_n free_a acceptance_n and_o free_a absolution_n through_o he_o to_o close_v therefore_o thus_o much_o as_o i_o have_v begin_v to_o say_v from_o these_o word_n in_o brief_a application_n this_o first_o application_n be_v this_o that_o you_o will_v serious_o consider_v whether_o you_o have_v faith_n or_o not_o you_o may_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o know_v why_o consider_v it_o as_o i_o have_v now_o represent_v it_o to_o you_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a power_n from_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o mighty_a power_n from_o his_o spirit_n in_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n especial_o those_o truth_n that_o concern_v jesus_n christ_n but_o just_a as_o i_o open_v to_o you_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o discourse_n that_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o new_a understanding_n to_o we_o we_o have_v as_o man_n you_o know_v a_o understanding_n endue_v with_o reason_n and_o therefore_o we_o all_o say_v let_v i_o hear_v reason_n and_o then_o i_o will_v be_v persuade_v and_o every_o wise_a man_n whenever_o he_o speak_v he_o endeavour_v to_o speak_v reason_n therefore_o god_n have_v give_v to_o man_n such_o a_o thing_n as_o he_o call_v reason_n he_o have_v endue_v the_o understanding_n with_o that_o great_a principle_n of_o reason_n and_o if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o natural_a you_o know_v that_o be_v a_o man_n in_o who_o reason_n can_v act_v because_o some_o of_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o prepare_v to_o let_v reason_n have_v its_o course_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o man_n be_v natural_n it_o may_v be_v you_o may_v think_v they_o have_v not_o so_o good_a a_o soul_n but_o that_o be_v a_o mistake_n only_o there_o be_v not_o organ_n fit_a for_o the_o work_n of_o reason_n and_o therefore_o you_o know_v when_o we_o look_v upon_o such_o a_o one_o we_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o discourse_n with_o such_o a_o one_o because_o we_o know_v he_o have_v no_o reason_n or_o a_o mad_a ●…an_n it_o be_v but_o loss_n of_o time_n to_o discourse_n reason_n to_o he_o because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o disturbance_n and_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o jumble_v in_o the_o brain_n that_o reason_n can_v have_v its_o course_n so_o i_o say_v if_o we_o will_v consider_v a_o man_n in_o gospel_n sense_n he_o be_v just_a like_o a_o mere_a natural_a or_o like_o a_o madman_n or_o like_o a_o very_a brute_n if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o light_n of_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v a_o new_a light_n and_o a_o new_a understanding_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a 2_o thes_n 3._o 2._o that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v say_v the_o apostle_n from_o unreasonable_a and_o wicked_a man_n for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n if_o a_o man_n be_v unreasonable_a you_o can_v have_v no_o place_n in_o he_o by_o the_o power_n of_o reason_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o look_v upon_o a_o man_n in_o gospel-sense_n just_a like_o a_o natural_a or_o like_o a_o madman_n or_o like_o a_o very_a brute_n if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o light_n of_o faith_n he_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a person_n when_o he_o have_v not_o faith_n for_o all_o man_n say_v he_o have_v not_o faith_n and_o the_o word_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o origninal_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v among_o the_o learned_a to_o be_v a_o word_n proper_a to_o philosophy_n they_o say_v if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o reason_n or_o do_v not_o speak_v according_a to_o they_o he_o be_v a_o absurd_a man_n or_o a_o unreasonable_a man_n he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o topic_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a man_n he_o have_v no_o topic_n with_o he_o and_o why_o because_o he_o have_v no_o faith_n so_o i_o say_v a_o man_n without_o faith_n be_v a_o man_n without_o gospel_n topic_n you_o can_v speak_v to_o he_o upon_o the_o topic_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o any_o acceptance_n because_o he_o have_v not_o faith_n o_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v how_o sweet_a be_v the_o discourse_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o how_o impressive_a upon_o we_o how_o do_v our_o soul_n go_v out_o to_o he_o and_o act_n upon_o he_o as_o you_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n even_o in_o worldly_a thing_n be_v act_v according_a to_o reason_n and_o all_o the_o power_n of_o reason_n so_o we_o shall_v be_v always_o act_v upon_o the_o gospel_n and_o upon_o christ_n especial_o by_o all_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o this_o i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o mind_n in_o the_o immanent_a truth_n in_o those_o truth_n wherein_o faith_n be_v in_o its_o immanent_a act_n principal_o upon_o christ_n and_o righteousness_n in_o he_o and_o pardon_v of_o sin_n in_o his_o
