prophet_n among_o they_o to_o raise_v their_o mind_n and_o heart_n a_o little_a high_o after_o a_o more_o spiritual_a walk_v with_o he_o then_o after_o that_o he_o send_v john_n the_o baptist_n to_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o great_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o follow_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v then_o at_o hand_n and_o thus_o way_n be_v make_v gradual_o for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n jesus_n that_o man_n may_v believe_v on_o he_o when_o he_o come_v thus_o the_o lord_n carry_v on_o his_o public_a work_n gradual_o and_o thus_o also_o he_o frequent_o carry_v on_o his_o work_n in_o particular_a person_n from_o step_n to_o step_v and_o it_o be_v well_o for_o they_o that_o follow_v he_o in_o his_o leading_n and_o drawing_n and_o take_v not_o up_o their_o rest_n or_o stop_v in_o the_o way_n but_o hold_v on_o to_o follow_v the_o lord_n for_o he_o do_v not_o usual_o communicate_v all_o at_o once_o to_o his_o people_n although_o he_o may_v give_v much_o comfort_n sometime_o at_o the_o first_o turn_v of_o man_n heart_n faithful_o to_o he_o but_o he_o communicate_v by_o degree_n to_o they_o that_o true_o follow_v he_o and_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o receive_v and_o able_a to_o bear_v to_o his_o disciple_n christ_n say_v i_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v bear_v they_o now_o john_n 16.12_o so_o he_o communicate_v to_o they_o as_o they_o can_v bear_v and_o so_o he_o do_v to_o paul_n act_v 26.16_o he_o do_v not_o make_v he_o a_o minister_n and_o a_o witness_n of_o all_o at_o once_o but_o appear_v to_o he_o to_o make_v he_o a_o minister_n and_o a_o witness_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v see_v and_o of_o those_o thing_n in_o the_o which_o he_o will_v afterward_o appear_v to_o he_o thus_o the_o lord_n do_v condescend_v to_o take_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v to_o lead_v we_o on_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o where_o there_o be_v a_o willing_a heart_n to_o follow_v he_o and_o there_o may_v be_v still_o a_o go_v forward_o and_o grow_v up_o in_o the_o lord_n while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o life_n paul_n that_o eminent_a servant_n of_o the_o lord_n after_o all_o his_o vision_n and_o great_a attainment_n and_o perfection_n still_o say_v i_o press_v forward_o phil._n 3.14_o 15._o and_o thus_o the_o ministry_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o be_v to_o lead_v we_o forward_o by_o degree_n not_o only_o to_o bring_v we_o on_o through_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o law_n or_o of_o the_o letter_n as_o it_o be_v call_v but_o to_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o as_o to_o be_v lead_v thereby_o and_o to_o grow_v up_o therein_o and_o so_o to_o establish_v we_o in_o the_o sonship_n or_o adoption_n thus_o under_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o work_n be_v cut_v short_a in_o righteousness_n namely_o in_o subject_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o work_v all_o righteousness_n in_o we_o gradual_o if_o we_o be_v faithful_a thereunto_o and_o it_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o iniquity_n if_o we_o faithful_o follow_v the_o guidance_n thereof_o for_o god_n have_v comprehend_v all_o righteousness_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n this_o be_v the_o great_a dispensation_n of_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o gospel_n this_o satan_n know_v and_o therefore_o be_v he_o and_o yet_o be_v so_o busy_a to_o suggest_v other_o spirit_n whereby_o to_o divert_v man_n and_o turn_v they_o aside_o from_o the_o true_a spirit_n by_o appearance_n of_o other_o spirit_n and_o with_o some_o resemblance_n of_o the_o true_a this_o he_o do_v very_o early_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n as_o we_o may_v observe_v by_o the_o write_n or_o epistle_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o which_o we_o may_v see_v how_o he_o be_v constrain_v to_o vindicate_v himself_o and_o his_o ministry_n against_o those_o false_a teacher_n who_o desire_v occasion_n against_o he_o 2_o cor._n 11.12_o false_a apostle_n may_v despise_v and_o vilify_v they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o may_v transform_v themselves_o as_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n satan_n himself_o can_v transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o great_a thing_n if_o his_o minister_n also_o be_v transform_v as_o the_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n 2_o cor._n 11.12_o 13_o 14_o 15._o i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o to_o vilify_v any_o faithful_a minister_n but_o to_o show_v the_o great_a subtlety_n of_o satan_n and_o for_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v all_o careful_a to_o keep_v close_o to_o our_o true_a guide_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o lead_v into_o all_o righteousness_n and_o out_o of_o all_o false_a appearance_n and_o give_v the_o comfortable_a testimony_n of_o his_o presence_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o that_o faithful_o obey_v he_o and_o walk_v humble_o with_o he_o but_o some_o perhaps_o may_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o know_v these_o deceitful_a worker_n these_o false_a spirit_n i_o answer_v i_o write_v not_o this_o so_o much_o to_o discover_v any_o such_o but_o that_o every_o one_o may_v be_v careful_a to_o examine_v themselves_o and_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o beware_v of_o satan_n wiles_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o know_v deceitful_a worker_n by_o their_o good_a word_n or_o fair_a speech_n or_o ministerial_a gift_n and_o part_n which_o they_o once_o have_v give_v they_o it_o be_v say_v that_o gift_n shall_v be_v give_v also_o even_o to_o the_o rebellious_a psal_n 68.18_o thou_o have_v ascend_v on_o high_a thou_o have_v lead_v captivity_n captive_a thou_o have_v receive_v gift_n for_o man_n yea_o for_o the_o rebellious_a also_o that_o the_o lord_n god_n may_v dwell_v among_o they_o and_o some_o will_v so_o rest_v upon_o their_o ministerial_a gift_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o giver_n that_o they_o will_v make_v they_o a_o plea_n for_o themselves_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o judge_v as_o have_v be_v show_v before_o from_o mat._n 7.22_o but_o the_o excellency_n of_o ministerial_a gift_n will_v not_o shelter_v worker_n of_o iniquity_n although_o '_o such_o gift_n be_v very_o serviceable_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v desire_v and_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n exhortation_n 1_o cor._n 12.31_o to_o covet_v earnest_o the_o best_a
