A54024	The axe laid to the root of the old corrupt-tree, and the spirit of deceit struck at in its nature from whence all the error from the life, among both papists and Protestants hath arisen, and by which it is nourished and fed at this day, in a distinction between the faith which is of man, and the faith which is of God ... / by ...

that_o so_o the_o true_a distinction_n may_v be_v let_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o not_o a_o foundation_n lay_v of_o so_o great_a a_o mistake_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a concernment_n 1._o

affection_n towards_o the_o avoid_n of_o misery_n and_o the_o attain_n of_o happiness_n what_o will_v not_o a_o man_n do_v to_o avoid_v perpetual_a extremity_n of_o misery_n on_o soul_n and_o body_n for_o ever_o and_o to_o obtain_v a_o crown_n of_o everlasting_a blessedness_n this_o boil_v the_o affection_n to_o a_o height_n and_o set_v the_o understanding_n on_o work_n to_o the_o utmost_a to_o

of_o christ_n he_o will_v seem_v to_o do_v that_o to_o and_o say_v when_o he_o have_v do_v all_o he_o can_v he_o be_v but_o a_o unprofitable_a servant_n do_v the_o scripture_n say_v he_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o the_o spirit_n he_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o too_o and_o he_o hope_v he_o have_v the_o spirit_n god_n have_v promise_v the_o spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v it_o and_o he_o

which_o he_o thus_o give_v himself_o up_o and_o to_o which_o he_o thus_o bend_v himself_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n his_o affection_n more_o and_o more_o warm_v he_o will_v find_v a_o kind_n of_o

mistake_v here_o and_o call_v this_o the_o truth_n first_o he_o mistake_v this_o for_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o then_o he_o mistake_v in_o apply_v to_o this_o all_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o thus_o enter_v into_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n at_o first_o he_o err_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o religion_n from_o the_o beginning_n to_o the_o end_n he_o see_v a_o change_n make_v by_o this_o in_o he_o and_o this_o he_o account_v the_o true_a conversion_n and_o regeneration_n this_o lead_v he_o to_o ask_v and_o seek_v and_o pray_v and_o this_o he_o

sanctification_n the_o justification_n which_o be_v to_o the_o true_a believer_n he_o also_o aplye_v to_o this_o faith_n and_o so_o he_o have_v a_o peace_n ●_z satisfaction_n a_o rest_n here_o and_o a_o hope_n of_o happiness_n hereafter_o thus_o he_o receive_v what_o be_v already_o reveal_v and_o he_o wait_v for_o what_o may_v be_v further_o reveal_v which_o he_o can_v embrace_v and_o conform_v to_o turn_v still_o upon_o this_o centre_n and_o grow_v up_o from_o this_o root_n and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o come_v hither_o in_o religion_n fall_v short_a of_o the_o improvement_n of_o man_n nature_n and_o of_o the_o faith_n that_o grow_v there_o which_o natural_o lead_v all_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n hither_o and_o fix_v they_o here_o which_o be_v but_o dead_a and_o now_o this_o man_n be_v safe_a he_o be_v a_o believer_n he_o be_v a_o worshipper_n of_o god_n he_o be_v a_o christian_a he_o be_v a_o observer_n of_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n when_o the_o overflow_a scourge_n come_v it_o shall_v not_o touch_v he_o all_o the_o judgement_n plague_n threaten_n in_o the_o scripture_n belong_v not_o to_o he_o but_o to_o the_o unbeliever_n to_o they_o that_o know_v not_o god_n to_o they_o that_o worship_v not_o god_n to_o they_o that_o observe_v not_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n thus_o by_o his_o untempered_a mortar_n from_o his_o false_a faith_n he_o have_v build_v up_o a_o wall_n against_o the_o deluge_n of_o wrath_n which_o wall_n will_v tumble_v down_o upon_o he_o when_o the_o wrath_n come_v the_o growth_n of_o this_o faith_n and_o great_a spread_n of_o it_o into_o all_o this_o knowledge_n zeal_n and_o devotion_n have_v not_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o all_o this_o while_n but_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o it_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n even_o a_o power_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o first_o birth_n and_o all_o these_o fruit_n be_v but_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o first_o nature_n which_o be_v still_o alive_a under_o all_o this_o all_o this_o can_v never_o kill_v the_o principle_n out_o of_o which_o it_o grow_v but_o feed_v it_o more_o and_o fatten_v it_o for_o the_o slaughter_n thus_o far_o this_o faith_n can_v go_v but_o then_o there_o be_v somewhat_o it_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o at_o the_o very_a first_o there_o be_v somewhat_o this_o faith_n can_v receive_v believe_v or_o enter_v into_o what_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o life_n the_o power_n the_o inward_a part_n of_o this_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v unity_n with_o all_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o letter_n yet_o it_o can_v have_v unity_n with_o one_o

christ_n according_a as_o the_o scripture_n relate_v of_o his_o birth_n preach_v miracle_n death_n resurrection_n ascension_n intercession_n etc._n etc._n yea_o but_o the_o thing_n speak_v of_o it_o know_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o christ_n be_v hide_v from_o that_o eye_n so_o it_o may_v have_v a_o literal_a knowledge_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o

scripture_n so_o it_o may_v have_v a_o literal_a knowledge_n of_o sanctification_n but_o the_o thing_n that_o sanctify_v it_o can_v receive_v into_o itself_o so_o for_o redemption_n peace_n joy_n hope_v love_n etc._n etc._n it_o may_v get_v into_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o all_o these_o but_o the_o inward_a part_n the_o life_n the_o spirit_n of_o they_o it_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o and_o can_v touch_v or_o come_v near_o nor_o can_v it_o witness_v
