thus_o samson_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v power_n to_o use_v his_o strength_n and_o in_o the_o act_v 4_o 32_o it_o be_v say_v 32._o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v bold_o that_o be_v they_o have_v power_n for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o may_v be_v habit_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o want_v of_o power_n but_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v than_o it_o put_v strength_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n to_o do_v thus_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o spirit_n come_v upon_o saul_n and_o he_o prophesy_v that_o be_v he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o before_o he_o can_v do_v and_o yet_o know_v that_o you_o may_v have_v true_a grace_n and_o yet_o now_o and_o then_o for_o the_o present_a want_n action_n that_o be_v power_n to_o do_v yet_o be_v but_o then_o when_o the_o spirit_n seem_v to_o absent_v itself_o from_o the_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o heb._n 12._o 12._o brethren_n you_o have_v forget_v the_o

four_o way_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n strengthen_v grace_n in_o wor._n the_o soul_n be_v by_o give_v efficacy_n and_o power_n unto_o the_o mean_n of_o growth_n which_o be_v a_o special_a advantage_n for_o strengthen_v of_o the_o inward_a man_n for_o as_o he_o set_v up_o the_o building_n and_o furnish_v the_o room_n and_o give_v power_n unto_o the_o soul_n to_o use_v they_o so_o that_o which_o make_v all_o these_o effectual_a be_v this_o when_o he_o give_v power_n and_o efficacy_n unto_o the_o mean_n that_o be_v for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n now_o you_o know_v that_o the_o word_n be_v the_o only_a ordinary_a mean_n to_o work_v new_a habit_n and_o quality_n in_o we_o that_o be_v to_o c●l●…s_n and_o beget_v we_o into_o christ_n but_o if_o the_o spirit_n shall_v not_o add_v this_o unto_o they_o namely_o efficacy_n they_o will_v never_o beget_v we_o into_o christ_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o make_v all_o effectual_a that_o be_v it_o give_v a_o

hand_n that_o will_v do_v no_o good_a though_o you_o shall_v stand_v in_o never_o so_o great_a need_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n join_v they_o together_o in_o the_o act_v 20._o he_o call_v it_o the_o word_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n must_v work_v grace_n or_o else_o the_o word_n will_v nothing_o 20._o avail_v you_o again_o prayer_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n but_o it_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o join_v with_o it_o it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n say_v pray_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v if_o you_o pray_v not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n you_o will_v never_o obtain_v grace_n or_o sanctification_n the_o spirit_n be_v unto_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n as_o rain_n be_v unto_o the_o plant_n that_o be_v as_o rain_n make_v the_o plant_n to_o thrive_v and_o and_o grow_v so_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o make_v the_o inward_a man_n to_o grow_v in_o holiness_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v unto_o his_o church_n in_o isai._n 44._o 3._o he_o will_v pour_v water_n upon_o the_o dry_a ground_n that_o be_v the_o heart_n 3._o which_o be_v before_o barren_a in_o grace_n and_o holiness_n shall_v now_o spring_v up_o in_o holiness_n and_o grow_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v when_o i_o pour_v out_o my_o spirit_n upon_o they_o therefore_o you_o see_v how_o the_o spirit_n do_v strengthen_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n by_o set_v up_o the_o build_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o then_o by_o furnish_v the_o room_n with_o new_a habit_n and_o quality_n of_o grace_n and_o then_o by_o give_v power_n unto_o the_o soul_n to_o use_v those_o habit_n and_o then_o by_o give_v a_o blessing_n unto_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n the_o use_n of_o this_o stand_v thus_o if_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v use._n that_o whosoever_o have_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o this_o strength_n and_o whatsoever_o strength_n a_o man_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v to_o himself_o if_o it_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o true_a strength_n but_o a_o half_a and_o counterfeit_a seem_a strength_n for_o a_o man_n may_v thus_o argue_v from_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o effect_n that_o that_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o strength_n must_v needs_o bring_v forth_o strong_a effect_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o which_o be_v not_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o strength_n can_v bring_v forth_o the_o effect_n of_o strength_n so_o that_o no_o natural_a thing_n can_v bring_v forth_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n because_o it_o want_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o strength_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v have_v a_o flash_n or_o a_o seem_a power_n of_o strength_n such_o as_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n have_v in_o matth._n 25._o which_o 25._o seem_v to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o feign_a strength_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o must_v give_v you_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n and_o happiness_n and_o i_o have_v choose_v this_o point_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o present_a occasion_n the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n before_o which_o you_o be_v especial_o to_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o have_v this_o or_o no_o which_o if_o you_o have_v not_o then_o you_o have_v neither_o strength_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n nor_o any_o right_a or_o interest_n unto_o christ._n for_o i_o may_v well_o follow_v the_o apostle_n rule_v it_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o those_o that_o be_v christ_n they_o have_v the_o spirit_n in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 10._o the_o spirit_n search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n 1●_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o ephesian_n 1._o you_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o promise_n and_o 8._o in_o the_o rom._n 8._o that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v by_o the_o spirit_n which_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o again_o as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o it_o stand_v you_o upon_o to_o examine_v your_o s●lves_n whether_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o above_o all_o place_n there_o be_v 2._o place_n which_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o one_o be_v this_o place_n which_o be_v my_o text_n that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o the_o other_o place_n be_v that_o which_o saint_n john_n have_v in_o the_o 1_o job._n 3._o 14._o by_o this_o we_o 〈◊〉_d know_v that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n unto_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n that_o be_v if_o we_o be_v unite_v in_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v translate_v that_o be_v change_v we_o must_v be_v changeling_n from_o sin_n to_o grace_n before_o we_o can_v be_v save_v therefore_o examine_v what_o effectual_a spiritual_a strength_n you_o have_v what_o spiritual_a love_n there_o be_v among_o you_o and_o so_o according_o you_n may_v judge_v of_o your_o estate_n whether_o you_o have_v any_o right_a or_o interest_n unto_o christ_n and_o that_o i_o may_v help_v you_o in_o this_o thing_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o some_o sign_n by_o which_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o no._n the_o first_o
