abraham_n still_o so_o by_o faith_n sarah_n conceive_v it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v her_o conception_n when_o she_o be_v 90_o year_n old_a she_o have_v her_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n she_o tell_v a_o lie_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o angel_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o she_o please_v god_n and_o so_o i_o may_v instance_n in_o other_o david_n please_v god_n by_o faith_n david_n have_v his_o fail_n and_o do_v sometime_o displease_v god_n but_o yet_o by_o his_o faith_n he_o do_v please_v god_n and_o so_o look_v upon_o all_o those_o that_o have_v be_v believer_n by_o their_o act_n and_o exercise_v of_o of_o faith_n they_o have_v all_o of_o they_o come_v to_o please_v god_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v take_v it_o up_o for_o a_o general_a conclusion_n and_o may_v be_v confident_a of_o it_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o shall_v please_v god_n 2._o the_o holy-ghost_n do_v testify_v in_o the_o scripture_n again_o and_o again_o that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n by_o faith_n do_v live_v what_o life_n not_o a_o natural_a but_o a_o spiritual_a life_n now_o to_o live_v be_v not_o only_o to_o have_v the_o life_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o life_n of_o sanctification_n but_o to_o live_v be_v to_o have_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o have_v god_n please_v with_o a_o person_n that_o be_v to_o live_v say_v abraham_n to_o god_n in_o the_o 17_o of_o genesis_n oh_o that_o ishmael_n may_v live_v in_o thy_o sight_n what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o that_o what_o that_o his_o life_n may_v be_v lengthen_v out_o no_o but_o that_o he_o may_v find_v favour_n in_o thy_o sight_n and_o say_v the_o prophet_n in_o psal_n 30.5_o in_o thy_o favour_n be_v life_n and_o so_o in_o isaiah_n 6.55_o harken_v unto_o i_o and_o your_o soul_n shall_v live_v that_o be_v you_o shall_v please_v god_n and_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n now_o then_o this_o be_v frequent_a in_o scripture_n that_o all_o that_o be_v believer_n do_v live_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n both_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o new-testament_n bear_v witness_n to_o it_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o old-testament_n habakkuk_n 2.4_o and_o repeat_v again_o in_o the_o new_a hebrew_n 10.38_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n therefore_o it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n and_o question_n three_o by_o faith_n a_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n take_v away_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v that_o whereby_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n do_v displease_v god_n namely_o by_o his_o sin_n guilt_n do_v displease_v god_n now_o then_o faith_n be_v a_o mean_n and_o instrument_n to_o take_v away_o that_o which_o be_v displease_v to_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o act_n 10.43_o say_v peter_n there_o to_o cornelius_n to_o he_o give_v all_o the_o prophet_n witness_n that_o through_o his_o name_n whosoever_o beleive_v on_o he_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o chapter_n 13.38_o 39_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o therefore_o man_n and_o brethren_n that_o through_o this_o man_n be_v preach_v unto_o you_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o you_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n by_o believe_v on_o he_o we_o come_v to_o receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o act_n 26.18_o that_o they_o may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o inheritance_n among_o they_o which_o be_v sanctify_v through_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o i_o now_o then_o if_o so_o be_v that_o all_o believer_n all_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o do_v exercise_v their_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v justify_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n than_o they_o be_v free_v from_o all_o that_o make_v they_o displease_v to_o god_n then_o by_o faith_n they_o come_v to_o please_v god_n because_o by_o faith_n the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v remove_v which_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o god_n displeasure_n four_o and_o last_o to_o have_v do_v by_o faith_n a_o man_n or_o woman_n come_v to_o please_v god_n because_o by_o faith_n now_o the_o very_a heart_n which_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o uncleanness_n come_v to_o be_v make_v clean_o this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o have_v our_o heart_n purify_v and_o cleanse_v purify_n their_o heart_n by_o faith_n say_v the_o apostle_n act_v 15.9_o so_o in_o 1_o timothy_n 1.5_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a i'faith_o unfeigned_a be_v the_o mean_n whereby_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v and_o true_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o believer_n be_v call_v clean_o all_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o do_v exercise_v their_o faith_n in_o christ_n they_o be_v all_o pure_a and_o every_o thing_n be_v clean_o to_o they_o titus_n 1.15_o to_o the_o pure_a all_o thing_n be_v pure_a who_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o pure_a mark_v now_o by_o the_o contrary_a but_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v defile_v and_o unbelieving_a be_v nothing_o pure_a but_o their_o very_a conscience_n be_v defile_v by_o faith_n now_o a_o man_n heart_n come_v to_o be_v pure_a which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o his_o action_n all_o that_o he_o perform_v and_o do_v it_o must_v come_v from_o the_o heart_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v clean_a if_o the_o fountain_n be_v clean_a than_o the_o water_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o fountain_n be_v clean_o so_o now_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n now_o the_o action_n come_v to_o be_v pure_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n to_o a_o believer_n every_o thing_n be_v pure_a all_o that_o he_o meddle_v with_o and_o undertake_v if_o he_o do_v act_n faith_n in_o it_o he_o please_v god_n so_o now_o you_o have_v see_v the_o four_o thing_n open_v how_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o by_o faith_n we_o come_v to_o please_v god_n now_o there_o be_v a_o further_a question_n remain_v but_o may_v not_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n please_v god_n without_o faith_n by_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v command_v as_o now_o to_o pray_v and_o perform_v duty_n to_o walk_v upright_o &_o c_o as_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o world_n do_v think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o please_v god_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o we_o shall_v do_v those_o thing_n and_o the_o thing_n themselves_o as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o be_v please_v to_o god_n but_o yet_o still_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n how_o that_o appear_v follow_v to_o be_v speak_v to_o in_o the_o next_o place_n and_o then_o come_v to_o the_o application_n but_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o present_a sermon_n v._n hebrew_n xi_o 6._o but_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v he_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o dependence_n of_o these_o word_n upon_o the_o forego_n we_o come_v direct_o to_o open_v the_o proposition_n as_o it_o lay_v before_o we_o in_o the_o word_n doct._n that_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n alive_a ever_o to_o please_v god_n we_o have_v show_v you_o first_o what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o please_v god_n second_o we_o have_v prove_v to_o you_o that_o this_o please_a of_o god_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o very_o great_a concernment_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o desirable_a for_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o be_v find_v please_n god_n and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o come_v to_o inquire_v what_o faith_n that_o be_v without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n and_o then_o fourthly_a we_o come_v to_o clear_v it_o up_o to_o you_o that_o by_o faith_n a_o soul_n do_v please_v god_n thus_o far_o we_o have_v go_v 5._o now_o we_o come_v in_o the_o five_o place_n to_o give_v you_o some_o demonstration_n to_o make_v it_o evident_a to_o you_o if_o the_o lord_n please_v to_o set_v in_o with_o it_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n ever_o to_o please_v god_n without_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o only_o say_v here_o that_o without_o faith_n a_o man_n have_v not_o please_v god_n or_o without_o faith_n no_o man_n ever_o shall_v please_v god_n but_o he_o speak_v a_o great_a word_n without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n this_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o it_o will_v hardly_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o what!_o not_o please_v god_n by_o do_v what_o god_n require_v why_o if_o i_o be_v diligent_a and_o faithful_a in_o my_o call_n do_v not_o that_o please_v god_n if_o i_o perform_v the_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v do_v not_o that_o please_v god_n if_o i_o give_v

must_v be_v persuade_v that_o they_o be_v send_v and_o call_v by_o christ_n to_o preach_v or_o else_o we_o can_v hear_v they_o in_o faith_n if_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o they_o be_v call_v and_o send_v by_o christ_n what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v concern_v eat_n of_o meat_n in_o rom._n 14.23_o he_o will_v have_v people_n persuade_v in_o their_o mind_n for_o say_v he_o he_o that_o doubt_v or_o he_o that_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a or_o no_o he_o be_v damn_v if_o he_o eat_v that_o be_v he_o venture_v upon_o a_o sin_n that_o do_v deserve_v damnation_n so_o in_o this_o case_n for_o hear_v if_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o such_o a_o one_o that_o we_o hear_v be_v send_v by_o christ_n we_o can_v hear_v the_o word_n in_o faith_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o pray_v consider_v that_o place_n in_o rom._n 10.14_o 15._o how_o then_o shall_v they_o call_v on_o he_o in_o who_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v and_o how_o shall_v they_o believe_v on_o he_o of_o who_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v and_o how_o shall_v they_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n and_o how_o shall_v they_o preach_v except_o they_o be_v send_v send_v by_o who_o by_o christ_n they_o must_v be_v call_v and_o send_v by_o christ_n how_o can_v we_o hear_v they_o except_o they_o be_v send_v why_o can_v we_o hear_v a_o man_n except_o he_o be_v send_v no_o not_o lawful_o we_o can_v hear_v he_o in_o faith_n if_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o he_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v suppose_v now_o that_o one_o that_o have_v part_n and_o ability_n come_v and_o preach_v the_o truth_n that_o which_o be_v sound_a doctrine_n may_v we_o not_o hear_v he_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o hear_v he_o be_v it_o not_o sufficient_a if_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o ability_n and_o do_v preach_v sound_a doctrine_n what_o shall_v we_o need_v to_o scruple_n to_o hear_v he_o answ_n for_o answer_v suppose_v now_o that_o a_o idolatrous_a mass-priest_n shall_v come_v and_o preach_v sound_a doctrine_n orthodox_n truth_n to_o a_o people_n do_v you_o think_v now_o that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n do_v you_o think_v that_o you_o may_v stand_v lawful_o and_o attend_v upon_o his_o ministry_n as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n not_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n nay_o i_o will_v say_v further_o the_o devil_n himself_o may_v preach_v the_o truth_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o not_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n we_o be_v not_o to_o hear_v he_o in_o luke_n 4.33_o 34._o the_o devil_n there_o he_o will_v be_v preach_v of_o christ_n what_o he_o say_v be_v truth_n i_o know_v thou_o who_o thou_o be_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o god_n but_o christ_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o in_o vers_n 35._o and_o jesus_n rebuke_v he_o say_v hold_v thy_o peace_n he_o will_v silence_v he_o this_o be_v that_o which_o possible_o very_o few_o have_v mind_v in_o former_a time_n but_o have_v go_v on_o in_o hear_v one_o and_o other_o without_o make_v any_o question_n whether_o they_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n or_o no_o but_o i_o say_v we_o can_v act_v in_o faith_n if_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o thus_o if_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o they_o be_v call_v and_o send_v by_o christ_n quest_n but_o you_o will_v say_v further_o how_o can_v poor_a weak_a people_n that_o be_v weak_a in_o understanding_n how_o can_v they_o discern_v and_o understand_v whether_o minister_n be_v call_v and_o send_v by_o christ_n or_o no_o alas_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o discern_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v somewhat_o too_o hard_o to_o impose_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v persuade_v that_o they_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n or_o else_o we_o can_v lawful_o hear_v they_o answ_n brethren_n i_o suppose_v it_o be_v not_o so_o hard_a and_o difficult_a a_o thing_n to_o know_v whether_o a_o minister_n be_v send_v by_o christ_n or_o no_o brief_o thus_o christ_n he_o ordinary_o send_v one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n those_o who_o he_o will_v have_v to_o preach_v in_o his_o name_n either_o 1._o in_o a_o way_n of_o institution_n or_o appointment_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o ordinance_n namely_o thus_o when_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n follow_v the_o rule_n and_o direction_n that_o christ_n do_v give_v in_o his_o word_n do_v choose_v and_o call_v such_o a_o one_o that_o be_v so_o and_o so_o qualify_v and_o in_o such_o a_o way_n according_a to_o those_o rule_n set_v he_o apart_o for_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v now_o according_a to_o christ_n institution_n and_o ordinance_n here_o be_v one_o that_o be_v call_v by_o christ_n to_o preach_v and_o dispense_v the_o gospel_n 2._o there_o be_v another_o way_n whereby_o christ_n may_v also_o call_v namely_o a_o providential_a way_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o providence_n when_o as_o a_o people_n find_v and_o discern_v a_o person_n qualify_v and_o gift_v for_o such_o a_o work_n do_v thereupon_o call_v he_o and_o desire_v he_o to_o preach_v to_o they_o here_o be_v now_o a_o providential_a call_n and_o christ_n by_o this_o providence_n do_v call_v he_o and_o send_v he_o as_o we_o read_v in_o act_n 13.15_o paul_n there_o go_v into_o the_o synagogue_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n and_o set_v down_o and_o after_o the_o read_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o prophet_n the_o ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n send_v unto_o they_o say_v you_o man_n and_o brethren_n if_o you_o have_v any_o word_n of_o exhortation_n for_o the_o people_n say_v on_o here_o be_v now_o a_o providential_a call_n be_v desire_v by_o the_o people_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o act_n 16._o when_o he_o be_v doubtful_a which_o way_n to_o go_v to_o preach_v at_o vers_fw-la 6.7_o they_o will_v have_v go_v to_o this_o place_n and_o the_o other_o but_o the_o spirit_n hinder_v they_o at_o last_o at_o v._o 9.10_o a_o vision_n appear_v to_o paul_n in_o the_o night_n and_o there_o stand_v a_o man_n of_o macedonia_n and_o pray_v he_o say_v come_v over_o into_o macedonia_n and_o help_v we_o and_o after_o he_o have_v see_v the_o vision_n immediate_o we_o endeavour_v to_o go_v into_o macedonia_n assure_o gather_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v we_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o they_o why_o here_o be_v a_o beck_n of_o providence_n and_o here_o be_v a_o call_n by_o the_o people_n and_o god_n do_v discover_v it_o in_o a_o vision_n so_o that_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n god_n do_v ordinary_o now_o adays_o call_v minister_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n now_o this_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v discern_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o be_v full_o persuade_v in_o our_o mind_n that_o such_o as_o we_o go_v to_o hear_v be_v call_v and_o send_v by_o christ_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n or_o else_o we_o can_v attend_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n nor_o expect_v the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n upon_o it_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v further_o but_o have_v not_o good_a christian_n heretofore_o godly_a people_n be_v wont_a to_o attend_v upon_o such_o as_o do_v preach_v sound_a doctrine_n without_o question_v their_o call_n they_o never_o douht_v whether_o they_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n or_o no_o but_o hear_v they_o and_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v also_o to_o bless_v their_o hear_n that_o they_o profit_v by_o their_o hear_n therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o need_v to_o scruple_n and_o question_n whether_o we_o may_v not_o hear_v one_o as_o well_o as_o another_o answ_n brethren_n for_o this_o i_o may_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o another_o case_n act_v 17.30_o the_o time_n of_o this_o ignorance_n god_n wink_v at_o when_o he_o suffer_v they_o to_o go_v on_o in_o their_o erroneus_fw-la way_n in_o time_n of_o ignorance_n god_n wink_v at_o but_o now_o say_v he_o he_o command_v all_o man_n every_o where_o to_o

who_o they_o hear_v and_o what_o they_o hear_v and_o upon_o what_o ground_n those_o that_o come_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o we_o come_v we_o know_v that_o in_o point_n of_o worship_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v heretofore_o practise_v by_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o their_o former_a practice_n do_v not_o make_v those_o thing_n to_o be_v lawful_a to_o we_o now_o as_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n about_o the_o government_n and_o order_n of_o the_o church_n that_o former_o christian_n have_v yield_v too_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v so_o free_o and_o
