knowledge_n of_o art_n and_o science_n by_o these_o he_o may_v see_v both_o into_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o some_o measure_n but_o i_o say_v he_o can_v see_v as_o he_o shall_v except_o he_o have_v add_v unto_o this_o another_o sight_n which_o be_v the_o sight_n that_o the_o spirit_n bring_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o bore_v of_o the_o ear_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o st._n john_n speak_v of_o in_o john_n 1._o 5._o that_o the_o light_n shine_v in_o 5._o darkness_n and_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v it_o not_o before_o a_o man_n have_v this_o sight_n of_o the_o spirit_n whatsoever_o he_o see_v yet_o it_o be_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n but_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v it_o drive_v away_o this_o darkness_n by_o give_v we_o another_o eye_n to_o see_v through_o it_o and_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v it_o not_o so_o that_o till_o a_o man_n have_v the_o spirit_n he_o do_v neither_o true_o see_v nor_o believe_v you_o can_v believe_v till_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o when_o you_o have_v get_v the_o spirit_n than_o you_o will_v believe_v in_o christ._n we_o preach_v christ_n unto_o all_o and_o exhort_v you_o to_o believe_v but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o some_o believe_v and_o other_o believe_v not_o but_o because_o they_o do_v not_o see_v they_o want_v the_o spirit_n to_o show_v they_o sin_n to_o humble_v they_o and_o christ_n to_o comfort_v they_o and_o therefore_o peter_n call_v they_o purblind_a as_o man_n that_o be_v purblind_a can_v see_v thing_n a_o far_o off_o except_o they_o be_v near_o so_o man_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o purblind_a man_n that_o can_v see_v christ_n and_o grace_n and_o salvation_n a_o far_o off_o as_o near_o but_o if_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n than_o they_o will_v see_v they_o near_o hand_n that_o be_v you_o will_v see_v a_o marvellous_a beauty_n in_o christ_n and_o holiness_n it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 9_o the_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v etc._n etc._n that_o be_v 9_o he_o see_v they_o before_o but_o he_o see_v they_o not_o in_o that_o manner_n he_o see_v they_o now_o they_o be_v represent_v unto_o he_o in_o another_o fashion_n again_o he_o see_v they_o in_o another_o hue_n he_o see_v another_o beauty_n in_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o understanding_n to_o see_v more_o a_o blind_a man_n may_v see_v if_o he_o have_v but_o the_o faculty_n of_o see_v so_o a_o spiritual_a blind_a man_n will_v see_v when_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o three_o benefit_n that_o a_o christian_n have_v by_o the_o benefit_n spirit_n be_v this_o it_o breed_v heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a effect_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o the_o like_a and_o therefore_o in_o john_n 14._o he_o be_v call_v the_o comforter_n first_o i_o say_v the_o spirit_n will_v beget_v joy_n in_o the_o soul_n 1._o and_o therefore_o say_v christ_n he_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n lead_v you_o unto_o all_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o believe_v now_o i_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o joy_n and_o comfort_v thus_o joy_n be_v unto_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o wall_n be_v unto_o a_o city_n the_o wall_n do_v compass_v the_o city_n and_o so_o be_v a_o defence_n for_o it_o that_o be_v it_o keep_v petty_a danger_n out_o so_o do_v joy_n it_o wall_n and_o fence_n the_o soul_n and_o keep_v out_o many_o enemy_n that_o otherwise_o will_v destroy_v it_o 2._o effect_n be_v comfort_n and_o this_o i_o call_v a_o bulwark_n because_o a_o bulwark_n be_v of_o 2._o great_a strength_n to_o beat_v back_o and_o keep_v out_o any_o that_o shall_v besiege_v it_o and_o make_v the_o citizen_n more_o secure_a so_o comfort_n be_v the_o bulwark_n of_o the_o soul_n against_o the_o great_a temptation_n and_o trial_n it_o make_v the_o soul_n secure_a rest_v upon_o christ._n 3._o effect_n that_o the_o spirit_n beget_v be_v boldness_n that_o be_v 3._o there_o be_v no_o true_a boldness_n without_o the_o spirit_n let_v adam_n witness_v it_o ask_v he_o what_o boldness_n he_o have_v when_o he_o hide_v himself_o from_o god_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o but_o because_o he_o want_v the_o spirit_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o disciple_n have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n they_o speak_v with_o boldness_n 4._o effect_n that_o the_o spirit_n beget_v be_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a desire_n in_o the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o church_n in_o 4._o the_o canticle_n when_o she_o have_v get_v the_o spirit_n she_o have_v breed_v in_o her_o love_a desire_n after_o christ_n as_o in_o canticle_n 1._o 7._o she_o be_v marvellous_a inquisitive_n where_o 7._o to_o find_v christ_n for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v in_o man_n such_o a_o want_n of_o holy_a desire_n but_o because_o they_o have_v not_o this_o spirit_n 5._o effect_n that_o the_o spirit_n 5._o beget_v be_v holy_a indignation_n that_o be_v holy_a anger_n it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o 2._o cor._n 7._o 11._o what_o indignation_n or_o wrath_n 11._o this_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o corinthian_n man_n will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o sin_n as_o evil_a till_o they_o get_v the_o spirit_n 6._o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n 6._o be_v holy_a affection_n it_o will_v make_v you_o to_o have_v heavenly_a affection_n to_o god_n to_o grace_v to_o the_o saint_n therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v ezech._n 36._o 26._o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n carnal_a man_n they_o may_v do_v something_o 26._o to_o make_v their_o child_n reverence_v they_o or_o to_o love_v they_o in_o regard_n of_o some_o domination_n they_o may_v proffer_v a_o object_n but_o they_o can_v beget_v holy_a affection_n this_o be_v the_o only_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n thus_o to_o change_v the_o heart_n 7._o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v this_o it_o will_v purge_v the_o soul_n it_o will_v cast_v out_o all_o 7._o rubbish_n out_o of_o the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o will_v purge_v the_o son_n of_o levi_n as_o silver_n 3_o that_o be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v fit_a for_o the_o priesthood_n he_o will_v purge_v out_o of_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n that_o which_o otherwise_o will_v make_v they_o unfit_a and_o david_n often_o in_o psal._n 51._o vers_fw-la 2._o 7._o prey_n that_o the_o lord_n 27._o will_v purge_v he_o wash_v he_o and_o cleanse_v he_o from_o his_o sin_n and_o then_o after_o he_o pray_v for_o the_o 12._o restore_n of_o the_o spirit_n make_v the_o absence_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o uncleanness_n 8._o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v this_o it_o kindle_v holy_a affection_n to_o good_a 8._o in_o we_o i_o say_v before_o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n work_v holy_a affection_n in_o we_o but_o now_o i_o add_v that_o he_o kindle_v those_o affection_n in_o we_o to_o good_a and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o give_v we_o great_a advantage_n against_o sin_n i_o say_v we_o have_v no_o small_a advantage_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o great_a advantage_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o heavenly_a affection_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o more_o holy_a affection_n the_o better_a man_n god_n account_v more_o of_o reason_n he_o a_o man_n be_v esteem_v of_o god_n as_o he_o have_v or_o have_v not_o holy_a affection_n a_o man_n be_v that_o which_o he_o be_v in_o his_o affection_n a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o good_a man_n because_o he_o knowea_fw-mi much_o but_o he_o be_v a_o holy_a man_n because_o he_o have_v holy_a affection_n that_o be_v he_o be_v full_a of_o love_n to_o god_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o holy_a affection_n reason_n they_o be_v a_o mean_n or_o a_o second_o cause_n of_o good_a they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o good_a action_n as_o for_o example_n for_o a_o man_n to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o do_v it_o with_o holy_a affection_n out_o of_o love_n unto_o christ_n it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a therefore_o when_o the_o affection_n be_v right_a they_o be_v draw_v upward_o by_o the_o spirit_n both_o to_o do_v and_o to_o suffer_v the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o holy_a affection_n reason_n they_o widen_v the_o soul_n they_o make_v the_o soul_n large_a for_o when_o holy_a affection_n be_v dead_a in_o you_o the_o soul_n will_v begin_v to_o shrink_v in_o even_o as_o clothe_v that_o be_v not_o thorough_o make_v

you_o find_v that_o you_o yield_v no_o obedience_n unto_o god_n but_o you_o will_v notwithstanding_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o be_v drink_v and_o game_n it_o be_v because_o you_o be_v never_o

reason_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o humiliation_n make_v reason_n a_o man_n to_o see_v god_n in_o his_o holiness_n and_o power_n he_o that_o before_o respect_v not_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o this_o to_o see_v the_o power_n of_o god_n will_v submit_v himself_o a_o example_n of_o this_o we_o have_v in_o belchazer_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n after_o he_o be_v thorough_o humble_v but_o when_o a_o holy_a man_n with_o the_o power_n of_o god_n see_v the_o purity_n and_o perfection_n that_o be_v in_o god_n this_o humble_v he_o more_o and_o that_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o own_o basnesse_n and_o vileness_n and_o hence_o proper_o the_o obedience_n of_o a_o holy_a man_n proceed_v obedience_n depend_v upon_o humiliation_n as_o with_o man_n when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n see_v the_o power_n of_o a_o superior_a and_o that_o he_o be_v under_o his_o power_n than_o he_o become_v humble_a and_o obedient_a the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o humiliation_n make_v a_o man_n to_o desire_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n now_o reason_n you_o know_v a_o man_n
