themselves_o while_o wicked_a man_n live_v under_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o come_v to_o be_v convince_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o salvation_n but_o by_o christ_n

it_o trouble_v he_o so_o now_o they_o go_v unto_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v rather_o be_v in_o hard_a and_o costly_a work_n if_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o give_v all_o their_o good_n to_o the_o poor_a will_v help_v they_o they_o will_v rather_o do_v it_o than_o go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o wicked_a man_n do_v pray_v in_o affliction_n but_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v drive_v to_o it_o so_o do_v they_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o they_o know_v no_o way_n else_o to_o go_v or_o to_o find_v relief_n unto_o themselves_o he_o that_o be_v a_o believer_n do_v choose_v jesus_n christ_n as_o his_o way_n he_o do_v choose_v he_o i_o say_v as_o his_o way_n or_o rather_o thus_o he_o do_v like_o that_o way_n and_o approve_v that_o way_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v this_o can_v be_v no_o sign_n because_o those_o that_o be_v but_o temporary_a and_o fell_a away_o do_v receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o joy_n in_o math._n 13.20_o answ_n 1._o but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o their_o receive_n be_v not_o of_o all_o but_o of_o some_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o second_o it_o be_v not_o sincere_a they_o receive_v not_o the_o truth_n for_o the_o love_n of_o it_o for_o then_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v save_v 2_o thes_n 2.10_o but_o they_o receive_v it_o out_o of_o love_n of_o their_o lust_n so_o far_o they_o do_v receive_v the_o gospel_n as_o it_o may_v free_v they_o from_o hell_n but_o not_o as_o it_o may_v sanctify_v or_o take_v away_o from_o they_o the_o love_n of_o this_o present_a world_n for_o when_o persecution_n come_v they_o be_v by_o

shall_v come_v to_o speak_v of_o faith_n in_o this_o point_n more_o particular_o as_o it_o be_v a_o willing_a receive_n of_o jesus_n christ_n a_o receive_v of_o he_o kind_o and_o grateful_o and_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v of_o it_o distinct_o to_o you_o there_o be_v you_o must_v know_v a_o love_n that_o be_v ever_o join_v with_o faith_n faith_n work_v by_o love_n and_o that_o love_n be_v set_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n single_o and_o alone_o for_o his_o
have_v for_o his_o sake_n faith_n do_v work_v but_o it_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o love_n but_o now_o look_v on_o faith_n in_o itself_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o receive_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o receive_n it_o be_v a_o have_v and_o crave_v grace_n which_o will_v always_o be_v get_v and_o will_v never_o have_v enough_o when_o it_o be_v fill_v it_o be_v hungry_a and_o like_o the_o barren_a

you_o shall_v find_v a_o infinite_a disproportion_n between_o the_o thing_n figure_v and_o the_o figure_n itself_o as_o for_o example_n christ_n be_v call_v bread_n though_o this_o be_v a_o

they_o that_o have_v it_o not_o and_o you_o know_v how_o bread_n be_v make_v but_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o another_o constitution_n mark_v it_o so_o long_o as_o truth_n or_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o

before_o the_o understanding_n can_v receive_v any_o thing_n it_o must_v subtract_v the_o thing_n from_o all_o these_o figure_n and_o shape_n which_o the_o fancy_n put_v upon_o they_o yea_o indeed_o this_o kind_n of_o figurative_a apprehension_n where_o it_o be_v alone_o as_o it_o be_v the_o low_a and_o mean_a sort_n of_o knowledge_n so_o indeed_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o spiritual_a madness_n and_o distraction_n of_o mind_n for_o as_o it_o be_v madness_n in_o a_o man_n that_o lie_v upon_o straw_n to_o think_v himself_o upon_o a_o throne_n and_o for_o he_o that_o have_v chain_n about_o he_o to_o count_v they_o the_o ensign_n and_o badge_n of_o royalty_n and_o state_n and_o he_o that_o have_v nothing_o to_o think_v himself_o to_o have_v all_o thing_n the_o like_a madness_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v of_o the_o glorious_a thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o mean_o as_o meat_n and_o house_n or_o any_o metaphorical_a speech_n can_v set_v it_o forth_o to_o be_v it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o think_v mean_a thing_n glorious_a and_o to_o count_v glorious_a thing_n to_o be_v mean_v at_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o reformation_n the_o devil_n have_v be_v wonderful_a careful_a to_o dress_v up_o the_o fancy_n of_o man_n for_o jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v appear_v unto_o man_n that_o have_v be_v fall_v away_o from_o popery_n under_o divers_a shape_n and_o in_o all_o of_o they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o angel_n of_o light_n speak_v for_o and_o plead_n for_o the_o religion_n and_o worship_n of_o christ_n and_o set_v out_o heavenly_a thing_n according_a to_o earthly_a and_o carnal_a apprehension_n and_o poor_a soul_n in_o those_o time_n be_v deceive_v by_o he_o have_v think_v indeed_o that_o they_o have_v such_o kind_n of_o revelation_n as_o the_o prophet_n of_o old_a and_o have_v apply_v unto_o themselves_o those_o scripture_n act_n 2.17_o that_o in_o the_o last_o day_n young_a man_n shall_v see_v vision_n and_o dream_v dream_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o all_o this_o while_o it_o have_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o work_n of_o fancy_n a_o figurative_a representation_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o they_o though_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o use_n to_o be_v make_v of_o figurative_a &_o metaphorical_a speech_n in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o they_o be_v neither_o able_a to_o set_v out_o heavenly_a thing_n to_o the_o full_a and_o as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o set_v out_o heavenly_a thing_n to_o the_o full_a so_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o similitude_n that_o be_v between_o earthly_a thing_n &_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o only_o the_o testimony_n which_o the_o word_n give_v concern_v jesus_n christ_n and_o mark_v this_o if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o do_v receive_v the_o testimony_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v by_o faith_n than_o it_o be_v without_o any_o such_o kind_n of_o shape_n or_o image_n in_o our_o understanding_n because_o we_o do_v by_o faith_n so_o know_v as_o god_n know_v as_o god_n know_v intuitive_o so_o do_v faith_n also_o i_o say_v as_o metaphor_n be_v not_o able_a to_o set_v out_o spiritual_a thing_n spiritual_o so_o that_o light_n by_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v be_v not_o that_o likeness_n which_o be_v between_o the_o similitude_n but_o it_o must_v be_v from_o god_n himself_o immediate_o faith_n take_v god_n testimony_n it_o be_v not_o true_a faith_n which_o judge_v or_o accept_v of_o any_o thing_n by_o any_o light_n but_o the_o report_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 2.16_o we_o have_v say_v the_o apostle_n the_o mind_n of_o christ_n as_o god_n himself_o do_v not_o know_v his_o knowledge_n be_v not_o resolve_v into_o or_o get_v by_o metaphor_n or_o similitude_n of_o earthly_a thing_n so_o neither_o be_v our_o knowledge_n that_o we_o have_v by_o faith_n there_o be_v a_o great_a opposition_n there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o argument_n as_o differ_v as_o possible_o can_v be_v the_o receive_v a_o thing_n upon_o report_n and_o receive_v thing_n from_o similitude_n that_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o reason_v as_o when_o we_o know_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o infinite_a goodness_n in_o that_o god_n we_o know_v it_o intuitive_o as_o they_o speak_v that_o be_v there_o be_v something_o fall_v into_o the_o heart_n which_o without_o any_o image_n do_v fix_v this_o upon_o the_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o wisdom_n and_o power_n so_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n there_o fall_v in_o such_o light_n as_o make_v a_o man_n without_o any_o image_n or_o figure_n to_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n therefore_o i_o say_v you_o do_v but_o hold_v up_o jesus_n christ_n in_o a_o fancy_n and_o hang_v he_o up_o as_o a_o picture_n in_o your_o house_n and_o that_o be_v not_o a_o receive_v he_o by_o faith_n though_o this_o representation_n of_o he_o be_v that_o which_o as_o you_o shall_v hear_v hereafter_o have_v strange_a effect_n upon_o man_n viz._n a_o imaginary_a

there_o be_v a_o second_o sort_n that_o i_o may_v go_v on_o with_o that_o of_o those_o which_o have_v only_a jesus_n christ_n in_o their_o fancy_n and_o they_o be_v those_o that_o know_v and_o like_v of_o he_o only_o as_o he_o be_v a_o part_n of_o and_o head_n and_o main_a point_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n as_o every_o science_n do_v consist_v of_o divers_a principle_n and_o common_a

or_o model_n the_o scripture_n call_v it_o a_o pattern_n of_o wholesome_a word_n in_o 2_o tim._n 1.13_o he_o have_v put_v it_o into_o a_o summary_n or_o systeme_n that_o we_o may_v see_v the_o glory_n and_o excellency_n thereof_o at_o once_o and_o be_v settle_v in_o it_o and_o be_v take_v with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o it_o when_o we_o see_v one_o part_n agree_v with_o another_o and_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n and_o one_o depend_v upon_o and_o maintain_v the_o other_o as_o in_o a_o build_n of_o a_o stately_a house_n which_o be_v uniform_a when_o one_o part_n be_v a_o support_n unto_o the_o other_o look_v into_o heb._n 6.1.2_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o foundation_n sum_v up_o all_o religion_n into_o a_o few_o particular_n in_o 2_o tim._n 1.13_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o pattern_n of_o wholesome_a word_n or_o sum_n of_o religion_n it_o do_v consist_v in_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o call_v it_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v according_a unto_o godliness_n 1_o tim._n 6.3_o now_o in_o this_o model_n or_o frame_n the_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o principal_a point_n look_v upon_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o principal_a theme_n look_v upon_o all_o the_o matter_n that_o belong_v unto_o salvation_n and_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a argument_n even_o as_o the_o centre_n be_v
