A93799	A holy life here, the only way to eternal life hereafter. Or, A discourse grounded on these words, The weapons of our warfare, &c. 2. Cor. 10. 4. Wherein among other things set down in a following index this truth is especially asserted; namely, that a holy life, or the habitual observing of the laws of Christ, is indispensably necessary to salvation. Whereunto is added an Appendix, laying open the common neglect of the said laws among Christians, and vindicating such necessity of observing them from those general exceptions that are wont to be made against it.

there_o to_o give_v where_o it_o be_v fit_a and_o there_o be_v true_o need_v of_o it_o and_o so_o answeable_o he_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v and_o so_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n a_o righteous_a

and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n leave_v he_o some_o space_n of_o repentance_n and_o of_o pray_v and_o seek_v unto_o god_n for_o though_o satan_n greedy_o gape_v after_o man_n destruction_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v some_o limit_n set_v he_o by_o god_n in_o afflict_v one_o give_v into_o his_o power_n which_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v ability_n to_o exceed_v as_o we_o find_v god_n first_o

his_o life_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o take_v that_o away_o and_o the_o use_n we_o be_v to_o conceive_v that_o this_o power_n and_o sort_n of_o punish_v as_o it_o be_v manage_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o apostle_n serve_v for_o be_v at_o once_o to_o assert_v his_o authority_n and_o consequent_o the_o credit_n and_o importance_n of_o what_o he_o teach_v and_o also_o to_o subdue_v such_o contumacious_a and_o scandalous_a person_n as_o it_o be_v exercise_v upon_o from_o such_o their_o wickedness_n now_o concern_v this_o power_n of_o deliver_v unto_o satan_n it_o will_v be_v fit_a to_o observe_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v the_o power_n of_o inflict_v this_o punishment_n so_o he_o have_v no_o doubt_n also_o the_o power_n of_o remove_v it_o yea_o we_o be_v to_o think_v much_o rather_o that_o he_o have_v this_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n incline_v rather_o to_o act_n of_o goodness_n then_o of_o severity_n and_o to_o save_v rather_o than_o to_o destroy_v therefore_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v that_o if_o any_o thus_o punish_v do_v seasonable_o repent_v he_o may_v through_o the_o apostle_n prayer_n be_v free_v from_o that_o punishment_n and_o heal_v see_v the_o apostle_n also_o have_v power_n over_o evil_a spirit_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_a whereupon_o many_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o incestuous_a person_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 5._o have_v this_o punishment_n pardon_v to_o he_o and_o that_o those_o word_n 2_o cor._n 2.5_o belong_v to_o he_o 2._o it_o be_v credible_a that_o this_o power_n be_v common_a then_o to_o very_o few_o with_o the_o apostle_n and_o perhaps_o not_o to_o any_o beside_o the_o other_o apostle_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v otherwise_o rather_o agreeable_a to_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o confer_v the_o power_n of_o do_v good_a to_o man_n then_o of_o do_v they_o hurt_n and_o rather_o by_o save_v miracle_n and_o such_o as_o contain_v in_o they_o real_a benefit_n to_o commend_v the_o save_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o world_n then_o by_o such_o miracle_n as_o be_v hurtful_a to_o man_n for_o to_o inflict_v blindness_n or_o lameness_n or_o some_o other_o kind_n of_o disease_n be_v possible_a for_o satan_n and_o by_o his_o help_n for_o his_o servant_n to_o do_v so_o as_o namely_o for_o sorcerer_n and_o witch_n but_o to_o restore_v sight_n to_o the_o blind_a hear_v to_o the_o deaf_a foot_n to_o the_o lame_a health_n to_o the_o sick_a and_o that_o by_o a_o word_n that_o be_v the_o property_n of_o divine_a virtue_n and_o goodness_n whence_o also_o we_o find_v christ_n to_o have_v heal_v great_a number_n of_o man_n and_o to_o have_v free_v they_o from_o devil_n disease_n and_o other_o kind_n of_o affliction_n but_o hardly_o to_o have_v do_v any_o such_o miracle_n which_o in_o any_o manner_n be_v hurtful_a to_o man_n as_o for_o that_o which_o may_v be_v object_v here_o of_o the_o gadarens_n swine_n drive_v by_o the_o devil_n into_o the_o sea_n upon_o christ_n allowance_n 8.30_o matth._n 8.30_o we_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v reckon_v so_o much_o the_o act_n of_o christ_n as_o his_o simple_a permission_n and_o that_o not_o mere_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n but_o be_v thereunto_o entreat_v by_o the_o devil_n beside_o they_o to_o who_o this_o loss_n do_v accrue_v be_v without_o doubt_n person_n most_o worthy_a of_o it_o and_o withal_o that_o loss_n may_v have_v bring_v they_o great_a profit_n if_o they_o will_v have_v make_v that_o use_n of_o that_o occasion_n which_o they_o may_v have_v do_v it_o be_v true_a therefore_o that_o almost_o all_o christ_n miracle_n be_v true_o wholesome_a to_o man_n and_o as_o so_o many_o benefit_n confer_v on_o they_o whereupon_o peter_n say_v that_o christ_n go_v up_o and_o down_o do_v good_a 10.38_o act_n 10.38_o and_o heal_v all_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o devil_n 2._o we_o be_v also_o for_o this_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o this_o power_n be_v common_a but_o to_o a_o few_o namely_o lest_o otherwise_o it_o may_v easy_o have_v be_v abuse_v and_o sometime_o be_v make_v the_o instrument_n of_o wrath_n and_o revenge_n or_o at_o least_o of_o unseasonable_a severity_n all_o have_v not_o so_o great_a wisdom_n as_o paul_n and_o the_o other_o apostle_n so_o as_o to_o know_v on_o what_o person_n and_o in_o what_o nick_n of_o time_n and_o with_o what_o measure_n to_o inflict_v such_o punishment_n all_o have_v not_o the_o like_a meekness_n and_o long_a animity_n with_o he_o or_o they_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o fore-alleadged_n testimony_n how_o hardly_o paul_n can_v be_v induce_v to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o severity_n which_o he_o have_v in_o his_o power_n they_o therefore_o who_o hold_v that_o this_o power_n be_v then_o common_a to_o the_o pastor_n of_o church_n have_v no_o true_a ground_n to_o support_v their_o opinion_n yea_o it_o be_v evident_o against_o reason_n so_o to_o think_v paul_n sure_o have_v have_v but_o little_a need_n when_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o challenge_v that_o power_n to_o himself_o so_o careful_o to_o prevent_v the_o suspicion_n of_o arrogance_n in_o so_o do_v if_o that_o his_o have_v be_v also_o common_a to_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o corinthian_n &_o every_o where_o else_o usual_a in_o the_o church_n and_o though_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 5._o he_o will_v have_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n to_o concur_v towards_o the_o deliver_n of_o the_o incestuous_a person_n to_o satan_n 5.3.4_o 1_o cor._n 5.3.4_o yet_o he_o ascribe_v the_o decree_n of_o deliver_v that_o person_n to_o satan_n not_o to_o that_o church_n but_o only_o to_o himself_o and_o so_o attribute_n the_o effect_n itself_o of_o that_o thing_n only_o to_o himself_o and_o to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n like_v as_o also_o he_o do_v not_o prescribe_v that_o hymeneus_n and_o alexander_n shall_v be_v deliver_v by_o timothy_n to_o satan_n 1.20_o 2_o tim._n 1.20_o but_o say_v that_o he_o himself_o have_v deliver_v they_o wherefore_o we_o be_v to_o think_v this_o power_n to_o have_v expire_v with_o the_o apostle_n and_o with_o other_o
