possession_n thereof_o of_o the_o like_a assurance_n of_o his_o salvation_n our_o apostle_n protest_v say_v i_o ãâã_d persuade_v that_o neither_o death_n nor_o life_n nor_o angel_n etc._n etc._n

to_o look_v far_o for_o this_o point_n then_o into_o ãâã_d every_o nature_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n have_v define_v to_o âe_v such_o a_o full_a assurance_n that_o if_o you_o take_v away_o

promise_v life_n and_o salvation_n to_o all_o they_o at_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n this_o than_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o confutation_n of_o that_o uncomfortable_a doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n where_o they_o teach_v that_o withâât_o special_a revelation_n no_o man_n aught_o or_o can_v assure_v himself_o ãâã_d faith_n of_o his_o salvation_n the_o erroneousnesse_n of_o which_o doctrine_n though_o it_o have_v be_v full_o manifest_v by_o that_o which_o already_o have_v be_v say_v for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o plain_a opposite_a doctrine_n which_o we_o teach_v yet_o for_o a_o further_o clear_v of_o the_o truth_n in_o this_o point_n i_o beseech_v you_o in_o a_o few_o word_n to_o consâââ_n how_o weak_a proof_n they_o bring_v for_o what_o they_o teach_v why_o then_o i_o demand_v may_v no_o man_n without_o special_a reââlation_n assure_v himself_o by_o faith_n of_o his_o salvation_n because_o ãâã_d man_n can_v say_v my_o heart_n it_o clean_o 20.9_o pro._n 20.9_o i_o be_o pure_a from_o sin_n man_n ãâã_d be_v clean_o from_o sin_n say_v bellarmine_n but_o no_o man_n say_v he_o ãâã_d so_o 4._o lib._n 3._o de_fw-fr justif_n c._n 4._o because_o they_o that_o be_v cleave_v not_o certain_o know_v that_o they_o oâ_n clean_o therefore_o no_o man_n without_o special_a revelation_n may_v assure_v himself_o by_o faith_n of_o his_o salvation_n but_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o proâââ_n which_o 1._o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o corrupt_a read_n as_o the_o teââ_n the_o original_n show_v whence_o the_o word_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v read_v who_o can_v say_v i_o have_v make_v my_o heart_n clean_o and_o be_v speak_v to_o ãâã_d press_v the_o insolency_n of_o such_o as_o think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o thââ_n own_o strength_n and_o 2._o lean_v upon_o a_o point_n of_o man_n pâââ_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o point_n which_o plain_o contradict_v the_o holy_a ghost_n both_o in_o that_o text_n and_o throughout_o the_o whole_a scripture_n which_o have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n and_o 3._o conââdeth_v without_o promise_n 3.22_o gal._n 3.22_o inasmuch_o as_o nothing_o thence_o can_v be_v conclude_v against_o assurance_n by_o faith_n of_o justification_n or_o salââtion_n for_o though_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o he_o have_v make_v his_o beââ_n clean_o that_o he_o be_v pure_a from_o sin_n in_o himself_o or_o by_o himself_o yet_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n witness_v that_o by_o faith_n ãâã_d purify_v our_o heart_n 1.7_o act._n 15.9_o 1_o joh._n 1.7_o and_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n cleanse_v ãâã_d from_o all_o sin_n in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o through_o faith_n in_o his_o bloââ_n we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n 9.1_o eccles_n 9.1_o yea_o but_o the_o preacher_n say_v that_o a_o man_n speak_v say_v belarmine_n of_o the_o just_a and_o wise_a know_v not_o whether_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o love_n or_o hatred_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v keep_v uncertain_a for_o the_o time_n â_o come_v show_v thereby_o that_o not_o the_o just_a or_o wise_a and_o so_o not_o the_o faithful_a can_v assure_v themselves_o of_o their_o justification_n or_o salvation_n but_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o proof_n also_o which_o 1._o as_o the_o formeâ_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o corrupt_a translation_n as_o the_o original_a ãâã_d show_v where_o the_o read_n be_v much_o different_a from_o the_o vulgar_a and_o so_o very_o obscure_a both_o there_o and_o in_o the_o greek_a that_o it_o iâ_n a_o unfit_a place_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o such_o a_o point_n and_o 2._o failââ_n in_o understanding_n that_o of_o the_o just_a and_o wise_a only_a which_o be_v speak_v of_o all_o both_o just_a and_o wicked_a as_o the_o next_o verse_n where_o the_o âeacher_n expound_v himself_o show_v and_o 3._o proove_v
