affection_n be_v inflame_v towards_o god_n and_o here_o be_v the_o holy_a fire_n which_o make_v our_o heart_n burn_v within_o we_o towards_o he_o every_o way_n there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a analogy_n between_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n and_o the_o property_n of_o the_o word_n which_o plain_o speak_v forth_o the_o aptness_n and_o congrulty_n of_o the_o word_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n or_o instrument_n of_o conversion_n 2._o how_o far_o or_o in_o what_o sense_n may_v the_o word_n be_v call_v a_o mean_n or_o instrument_n thereof_o in_o answer_v whereunto_o i_o shall_v first_o lay_v down_o two_o thing_n as_o common_a concession_n and_o then_o come_v to_o the_o main_n quaere_fw-la the_o two_o concession_n be_v these_o 1._o that_o the_o word_n be_v a_o mean_n or_o instrument_n of_o the_o preparative_n to_o conversion_n it_o be_v as_o a_o fire_n and_o a_o hammer_n jer._n 23._o 29._o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n blow_v in_o this_o fire_n upon_o the_o conscience_n every_o sin_n look_v like_o a_o spark_n of_o hell_n when_o the_o almighty_a arm_n set_v home_o this_o hammer_n it_o break_v the_o rocky_a heart_n all_o to_o piece_n no_o soon_o do_v the_o commandment_n come_v home_o to_o the_o heart_n but_o sin_n revive_v and_o the_o sinner_n die_v rom._n 7._o 9_o the_o sin_n which_o before_o lay_v as_o dead_a in_o the_o sleepy_a conscience_n now_o live_v and_o gnaw_v upon_o the_o heart_n as_o if_o the_o never-dying_a worm_n be_v there_o the_o sinner_n who_o before_o be_v alive_a in_o his_o own_o self-righteousness_n and_o selfsufficiency_n now_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n one_o who_o have_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n in_o himself_o and_o feel_v as_o it_o be_v the_o pang_n of_o hell_n in_o conscience_n 2._o that_o the_o word_n be_v a_o mean_n or_o instrument_n to_o reduce_v the_o principle_n of_o grace_n into_o actual_a conversion_n when_o god_n stir_v up_o and_o flutter_v over_o the_o nest_n of_o gracious_a principle_n it_o be_v by_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o word_n when_o the_o spice_n of_o the_o garden_n flow_v out_o it_o be_v from_o the_o north_n and_o south_n wind_n the_o spirit_n blow_v in_o threaten_n or_o promise_n that_o which_o make_v the_o root_n of_o grace_n cast_v forth_o themselves_o into_o act_n be_v the_o dew_n of_o auxiliary_a grace_n and_o that_o dew_n fall_v with_o the_o manna_n of_o the_o word_n that_o grace_n with_o our_o spirit_n which_o stir_v up_o the_o principle_n of_o grace_n into_o exercise_n come_v in_o the_o clothing_n or_o investiture_n of_o some_o holy_a truth_n or_o other_o hence_o the_o apostle_n count_v it_o one_o of_o his_o masterpiece_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o stir_v up_o pure_a mind_n by_o his_o epistle_n 2._o pet._n 3._o 1._o these_o two_o concession_n be_v lay_v down_o the_o main_a quaere_fw-la be_v touch_v the_o production_n of_o gracious_a principle_n whether_o as_o to_o that_o the_o word_n may_v not_o be_v a_o instrument_n in_o god_n hand_n many_o learned_a divine_n speak_v of_o the_o word_n as_o operate_a only_a moral_o and_o objective_o mr._n pemble_n distinguish_v thus_o instrument_n be_v either_o cooperative_a or_o passive_a and_o the_o word_n must_v be_v one_o of_o the_o two_o cooperative_a it_o be_v not_o moving_z or_o work_v on_o the_o soul_n by_o any_o inward_a force_n of_o itself_o it_o be_v therefore_o in_o itself_o a_o passive_a instrument_n work_v only_a per_fw-la modum_fw-la objecti_fw-la now_o no_o object_n whatsoever_o have_v any_o power_n per_fw-mi se_fw-mi to_o work_v any_o thing_n on_o the_o organ_n but_o be_v only_o a_o occasion_n of_o work_v and_o a_o little_a after_o he_o say_v thus_o i_o can_v better_o express_v the_o manner_n how_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v the_o word_n in_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n than_o by_o a_o similitude_n christ_n meet_v a_o dead_a coarse_a in_o the_o city_n of_o nain_n touch_v the_o bier_n and_o utter_v these_o word_n young_a man_n i_o say_v unto_o thou_o

he_o mean_v to_o do_v by_o his_o power_n so_o in_o this_o matter_n of_o conversion_n christ_n bid_v we_o believe_v and_o repent_v but_o these_o command_n work_v nothing_o of_o themselves_o but_o take_v effect_n by_o the_o only_a power_n of_o god_n work_v upon_o the_o heart_n thus_o that_o learned_a man_n but_o methinks_v this_o be_v too_o low_a the_o word_n of_o itself_o operate_v moral_o
