therein_o this_o efficacy_n lie_v when_o the_o heart_n be_v knit_v to_o he_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o jonathan_n be_v to_o david_n and_o when_o christ_n shall_v be_v knit_v to_o we_o again_o that_o we_o

be_v a_o effectual_a faith_n but_o yet_o add_v this_o again_o a_o man_n may_v take_v christ_n and_o seem_v to_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o when_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o fear_n it_o

so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n that_o make_v faith_n effectual_a four_o faith_n be_v then_o say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o have_v not_o only_o do_v all_o this_o consist_v when_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o good_a preparation_n make_v for_o it_o when_o it_o be_v well_o build_v in_o the_o understanding_n and_o when_o the_o will_n have_v thus_o take_v christ_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o further_a act_n and_o that_o be_v the_o turn_n of_o the_o whole_a soul_n soul_n and_o a_o second_n of_o it_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n &_o practice_n a_o second_n of_o it_o in_o our_o execution_n and_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o christ_n command_v as_o in_o gal._n 5._o 5._o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n such_o a_o faith_n as_o work_n that_o be_v effectual_a faith_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v many_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o will_v do_v nothing_o for_o he_o they_o will_v not_o work_v now_o work_v be_v in_o do_v suffer_v or_o in_o suffer_v for_o in_o suffer_v there_o be_v a_o work_n as_o well_o as_o in_o do_v only_o it_o be_v a_o work_n with_o more_o difficulty_n a_o work_n with_o more_o impediment_n again_o if_o they_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o love_n but_o for_o other_o respect_n perhaps_o out_o of_o some_o flash_n or_o good_a mood_n or_o some_o other_o respect_n out_o to_o do_v it_o as_o be_v root_v &_o ground_v in_o love_n if_o faith_n have_v this_o work_n it_o be_v effectual_a faith_n and_o therefore_o when_o faith_n have_v once_o take_v christ_n it_o must_v shoot_v itself_o into_o all_o the_o affection_n for_o when_o they_o be_v all_o set_v on_o work_n endeavour_n will_v follow_v if_o the_o will_v be_v so_o set_v on_o work_n indeed_o the_o rest_n will_v follow_v after_o it_o love_n will_v follow_v desire_v after_o christ_n will_v follow_v fear_v to_o offend_v he_o will_v follow_v repentance_n and_o turn_n from_o satan_n will_v follow_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n and_o obedience_n etc._n etc._n will_v follow_v promiscuous_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v promiscuous_o sometime_o to_o one_o thing_n sometime_o to_o another_o sometime_o he_o that_o repent_v shall_v be_v save_v sometime_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v sometime_o he_o that_o obey_v shall_v be_v save_v you_o shall_v find_v they_o promiscuous_o because_o that_o when_o faith_n be_v effectual_a it_o have_v all_o these_o with_o it_o it_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n therefore_o this_o must_v be_v add_v to_o show_v the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n and_o if_o this_o be_v want_v faith_n be_v not_o effectual_a not_o that_o it_o can_v be_v disjoin_v from_o the_o other_o but_z that_o it_o be_v that_o wherein_o it_o consist_v with_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v god_n usual_a manner_n when_o man_n seem_v to_o take_v christ_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o grace_n he_o put_v they_o to_o the_o trial_n to_o see_v what_o they_o will_v do_v whether_o their_o faith_n will_v work_v or_o no._n thus_o he_o do_v with_o abraham_n when_o he_o will_v prove_v he_o he_o be_v a_o faithful_a man_n before_o god_n have_v experience_n of_o he_o before_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v prove_v abraham_n by_o offer_v his_o son_n and_o when_o he_o see_v he_o do_v it_o he_o conclude_v that_o he_o have_v faith_n indeed_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a faith_n for_o it_o endure_v the_o trial_n i_o say_v god_n will_v put_v man_n to_o it_o so_o likewise_o those_o in_o joh._n 12.42_o 12.42_o many_o of_o the_o chief_a ruler_n believe_v in_o he_o but_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n in_o they_o a_o take_z of_o christ_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n it_o hold_v not_o out_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o because_o they_o fear_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n that_o be_v when_o they_o come_v to_o suffer_v a_o little_a for_o christ_n sake_n when_o they_o come_v to_o such_o a_o action_n as_o confess_v his_o name_n when_o they_o come_v to_o endure_v but_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n they_o forsake_v he_o which_o show_v that_o their_o belief_n be_v ineffectual_a so_o that_o let_v a_o man_n seem_v to_o have_v all_o the_o other_o three_o yet_o when_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o competition_n with_o any_o command_n of_o god_n when_o god_n shall_v put_v he_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v dear_a to_o he_o as_o he_o do_v abraham_n if_o his_o faith_n work_v not_o if_o his_o faith_n hold_v not_o out_o in_o the_o trial_n but_o start_v aside_o like_o a_o break_a bow_n it_o be_v not_o effectual_a faith_n so_o you_o see_v the_o thing_n wherein_o the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n consist_v first_o in_o the_o soundness_n of_o the_o preparation_n second_o when_o the_o mind_n apprehend_v the_o promise_n and_o see_v good_a ground_n to_o pitch_v upon_o they_o three_o when_o the_o will_v so_o take_v christ_n as_o to_o bring_v christ_n into_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o christ_n live_v in_o we_o and_o that_o out_o of_o love_n and_o four_a when_o faith_n work_v and_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n when_o god_n shall_v put_v we_o to_o it_o i_o say_v when_o you_o find_v these_o four_o thing_n you_o may_v conclude_v that_o your_o faith_n be_v effectual_a the_o last_o thing_n i_o propound_v be_v to_o show_v how_o this_o be_v wrought_v wrought_v how_o our_o faith_n be_v make_v effectual_a it_o be_v make_v effectual_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o believe_v nay_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o we_o strive_v against_o it_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o resist_v it_o so_o that_o if_o god_n

i_o from_o my_o father_n house_n and_o have_v make_v i_o many_o promise_n before_o that_o be_v god_n that_o have_v do_v the_o great_a matter_n for_o i_o that_o have_v promise_v i_o the_o bless_a seed_n in_o which_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v bless_v do_v thou_o think_v he_o will_v not_o help_v i_o in_o such_o a_o particular_a he_o will_v send_v his_o angel_n before_o thou_o and_o will_v certain_o give_v thou_o good_a success_n consider_v what_o you_o do_v in_o such_o case_n as_o these_o these_o be_v thing_n which_o you_o have_v continual_a use_n of_o you_o be_v put_v many_o time_n to_o such_o exigent_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v somewhat_o to_o trust_n god_n for_o and_o you_o will_v be_v try_v in_o it_o so_o likewise_o peter_n that_o trust_v god_n for_o the_o main_a when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a case_n that_o he_o be_v bid_v to_o launch_v out_o into_o the_o deep_a when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o ship_n and_o to_o go_v a_o fish_n although_o he_o have_v no_o hope_n to_o do_v it_o he_o trust_v in_o those_o particular_n that_o christ_n will_v not_o fail_v he_o when_o he_o bid_v he_o go_v upon_o the_o water_n he_o trust_v that_o he_o will_v support_v he_o take_v david_n see_v how_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n how_o many_o occasion_n have_v he_o to_o trust_v on_o he_o as_o it_o be_v true_a for_o the_o main_a so_o for_o the_o particular_n so_o paul_n do_v not_o he_o trust_v god_n for_o his_o maintenance_n see_v in_o his_o epistle_n how_o careless_a he_o be_v that_o way_n so_o it_o be_v with_o all_o the_o saint_n consider_v what_o you_o do_v in_o these_o thing_n see_v whether_o your_o heart_n be_v at_o peace_n in_o these_o thing_n whether_o you_o trust_v in_o god_n or_o no_o so_o that_o your_o heart_n be_v at_o rest_n that_o you_o can_v sit_v still_o and_o commit_v your_o care_n to_o god_n if_o so_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o you_o rest_v in_o he_o for_o the_o main_a so_o much_o for_o that_o thing_n the_o four_o sign_n or_o character_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o hold_v out_o and_o that_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o these_o three_o branch_n first_o when_o it_o shall_v cleave_v to_o

you_o will_v know_v whether_o your_o faith_n be_v effectual_a you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o your_o hold_v out_o whether_o it_o cleave_v constant_o to_o christ._n if_o thy_o faith_n be_v ineffectual_a as_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o last_o day_n it_o come_v either_o from_o mis-informaton_a you_o know_v not_o what_o christ_n be_v nor_o what_o it_o be_v to_o take_v he_o you_o look_v for_o other_o

be_v over_o as_o soon_o as_o those_o trouble_n in_o mind_n those_o disquiet_n in_o conscience_n be_v past_a there_o be_v a_o end_n thy_o faith_n cleave_v to_o christ_n no_o long_o if_o faith_n come_v out_o of_o love_n to_o he_o he_o of_o love_n to_o a_o kingdom_n nothing_o but_o hell_n and_o heaven_n and_o some_o present_a commodity_n that_o move_v thou_o when_o better_a thing_n be_v offer_v that_o be_v more_o present_a commodity_n there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o it_o again_o ground_n if_o it_o be_v out_o of_o false_a slender_a and_o slight_a ground_n when_o strong_a reason_n and_o

when_o the_o fear_n be_v go_v when_o such_o a_o offer_n be_v make_v when_o all_o the_o objection_n be_v make_v that_o can_v be_v this_o argue_v that_o faith_n be_v sound_a and_o good_a consider_v therefore_o whether_o thy_o faith_n cleave_v fast_o and_o constant_o to_o christ_n or_o no_o whether_o it_o hold_v out_o when_o those_o flash_n and_o good_a mood_n will_v not_o whether_o it_o

faith_n be_v sound_a it_o will_v hold_v out_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n she_o have_v a_o shrewd_a trial_n when_o christ_n tell_v she_o she_o be_v a_o dog_n in_o plain_a term_n and_o when_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n himself_o and_o yet_o when_o her_o faith_n be_v good_a indeed_o she_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o she_o must_v cleave_v to_o he_o she_o will_v not_o give_v over_o there_o be_v a_o strong_a faith_n that_o do_v knit_v her_o heart_n secret_o unto_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o ground_n that_o she_o hold_v out_o notwithstanding_o all_o objection_n although_o it_o may_v be_v she_o know_v not_o how_o to_o answer_v they_o yet_o she_o let_v not_o go_v and_o that_o be_v a_o sign_n her_o faith_n be_v good_a so_o consider_v whether_o thy_o faith_n hold_v out_o when_o thou_o be_v put_v to_o such_o trial_n as_o these_o denial_n gain_n consider_v whether_o thou_o will_v receive_v no_o denial_n when_o thou_o

out_o though_o he_o defer_v long_o before_o he_o grant_v it_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v but_o he_o have_v trial_n for_o it_o afterward_o he_o give_v thou_o the_o grace_n of_o

will_v see_v whether_o thou_o will_v forsake_v he_o or_o no_o he_o will_v make_v thou_o a_o offer_n of_o preferment_n a_o offer_n of_o wealth_n of_o praise_n of_o somewhat_o or_o other_o to_o see_v if_o thou_o will_v part_v with_o that_o for_o his_o sake_n or_o no._n if_o he_o give_v we_o faith_n he_o often_o try_v we_o in_o this_o case_n he_o deny_v we_o long_o he_o wrestle_v with_o we_o as_o he_o do_v with_o jacob_n he_o make_v many_o show_n of_o go_v away_o thus_o we_o know_v he_o deal_v with_o daniel_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o begin_v to_o pray_v the_o answer_n come_v that_o his_o request_n be_v grant_v but_o god_n will_v not_o let_v he_o know_v so_o much_o he_o let_v he_o go_v through_o with_o the_o work_n he_o let_v he_o seek_v earnest_o and_o then_o he_o reveal_v and_o make_v it_o know_v unto_o he_o so_o perhaps_o god_n intend_v thou_o good_a but_o he_o will_v put_v thou_o to_o the_o trial_n consider_v therefore_o if_o thy_o faith_n hold_v out_o in_o such_o a_o case_n again_o wait_v when_o thou_o have_v get_v a_o answer_n perhaps_o after_o thou_o have_v get_v thy_o answer_n thou_o must_v wait_v long_o before_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v give_v thou_o therefore_o consider_v if_o thou_o be_v content_a to_o wait_v for_o it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o property_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o wait_v as_o david_n often_o repeat_v it_o i_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n you_o know_v abraham_n how_o god_n try_v he_o that_o way_n when_o he_o make_v he_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o seed_n of_o a_o son_n you_o know_v how_o long_o he_o wait_v for_o the_o performance_n so_o isaac_n he_o wait_v long_o before_o he_o have_v those_o two_o son_n jacob_n and_o esau._n so_o god_n will_v put_v thou_o to_o it_o to_o wait_v it_o may_v be_v for_o matter_n of_o justification_n that_o be_v he_o will_v not_o show_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o
