55._o christ_n be_v under_o a_o carpenter_n son_n as_o the_o 18_o 2._o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v hide_v under_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v as_o 38._o those_o saint_n the_o world_n be_v not_o

true_a that_o 2._o holy_a man_n have_v many_o infirmity_n and_o because_o of_o they_o we_o can_v see_v this_o life_n and_o we_o think_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o life_n in_o they_o you_o know_v 12._o david_n and_o 4._o peter_n what_o they_o fall_v into_o last_o of_o all_o this_o life_n be_v hide_v from_o we_o by_o misreport_n even_o as_o christ_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o world_n be_v 34._o

justify_v the_o wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o generation_n of_o the_o just_a i_o say_v all_o these_o way_n this_o life_n be_v hide_v from_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v believe_v it_o though_o we_o may_v help_v ourselves_o a_o little_a by_o experience_n we_o see_v there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n who_o life_n be_v not_o in_o carnal_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n that_o give_v not_o themselves_o up_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o man_n can_v live_v without_o some_o delight_n no_o creature_n can_v live_v without_o it_o and_o since_o their_o delight_n be_v not_o in_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v likely_a there_o be_v a_o other_o life_n that_o they_o live_v that_o be_v a_o inward_a and_o retire_a life_n even_o this_o life_n 3_o that_o be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n again_o you_o see_v there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o be_v k_o willing_a to_o suffer_v torture_n and_o imprisonment_n to_o suffer_v death_n for_o christ_n and_o 11._o sure_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o this_o natural_a life_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o better_a life_n that_o they_o set_v a_o high_a price_n upon_o they_o will_v not_o let_v this_o go_v if_o they_o do_v not_o hope_v for_o another_o thus_o we_o may_v help_v ourselves_o with_o experience_n we_o see_v not_o this_o life_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v believe_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o this_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v such_o a_o life_n second_o if_o he_o that_o have_v not_o this_o life_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n why_o then_o my_o beloved_a it_o use_v concern_v we_o all_o to_o see_v that_o we_o have_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n in_o we_o that_o that_o change_v

see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n point_v at_o above_o all_o other_o sign_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n you_o must_v consider_v whether_o you_o love_v the_o brethren_n you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n 3._o 14._o we_o know_v by_o this_o we_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n you_o know_v a_o dead_a member_n have_v no_o sympathy_n with_o the_o
