how_o to_o live_v and_o that_o well_o in_o all_o estate_n and_o time_n special_o when_o help_n and_o comfort_n fail_v print_a by_o john_n legat_n printer_n to_o the_o university_n of_o cambridge_n 1601._o and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v at_o the_o crown_n in_o paul_n churchyard_n by_o simon_n waterson_n to_o the_o reader_n good_a reader_n if_o thou_o will_v be_v save_v by_o thy_o faith_n in_o christ_n after_o death_n thou_o must_v here_o live_v by_o it_o before_o death_n and_o faith_n for_o the_o time_n of_o this_o life_n have_v two_o great_a use_n the_o first_o be_v to_o cut_v off_o worldly_a sorrow_n and_o care_n it_o be_v the_o common_a fashion_n of_o man_n to_o multiply_v their_o care_n out_o of_o measure_n and_o thereby_o to_o make_v their_o life_n most_o miserable_a for_o first_o of_o all_o beside_o necessary_a labour_n they_o take_v upon_o they_o many_o needless_a and_o superfluous_a business_n second_o their_o manner_n be_v to_o care_v not_o only_o for_o the_o labour_n to_o be_v do_v but_o also_o for_o the_o event_n and_o success_n of_o their_o labour_n that_o they_o may_v always_o prosper_v and_o never_o be_v cross_v but_o this_o care_n belong_v to_o god_n alone_o three_o they_o content_v not_o themselves_o with_o their_o lot_n and_o condition_n but_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o increase_v their_o estate_n and_o to_o make_v themselves_o rich_a last_o they_o exercise_v themselves_o not_o only_o in_o dispose_v of_o thing_n present_a but_o they_o forecast_v many_o matter_n in_o their_o head_n and_o plot_v the_o success_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v now_o faith_n when_o we_o have_v do_v the_o work_n of_o our_o calling_n according_a to_o the_o prescript_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v i_o say_v make_v we_o commend_v to_o god_n the_o blessing_n success_n &_o event_n thereof_o by_o prayer_n and_o affiance_n in_o his_o promise_n not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n necessary_a and_o if_o we_o want_v the_o blessing_n and_o success_n we_o look_v for_o yet_o faith_n make_v we_o to_o renounce_v our_o own_o desire_n and_o in_o silence_n to_o quiet_v our_o heart_n in_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o many_o worldly_a care_n be_v cut_v off_o second_o when_o a_o man_n at_o his_o wit_n end_n know_v not_o what_o in_o the_o world_n to_o do_v be_v as_o it_o be_v plunge_v into_o a_o sea_n of_o misery_n faith_n give_v direction_n and_o stay_v the_o mind_n for_o when_o all_o temporal_a thing_n fail_v we_o even_o to_o the_o very_a skin_n and_o life_n faith_n preserve_v within_o we_o a_o affiance_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o life_n everlasting_a faith_n show_v we_o hidden_a thing_n not_o to_o be_v discern_v by_o sense_n and_o reason_n life_n everlasting_a be_v promise_v we_o but_o we_o die_v for_o all_o that_o we_o hear_v of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o rot_v in_o our_o grave_n we_o be_v pronounce_v bless_v but_o yet_o we_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o infinite_a misery_n abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v promise_v but_o for_o all_o this_o we_o often_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n god_n promise_v to_o hear_v we_o and_o to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o but_o he_o seem_v oft_o time_n to_o be_v deaf_a as_o it_o be_v at_o our_o cry_n now_o then_o come_v faith_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o thing_n hope_v for_o and_o make_v we_o lift_v our_o mind_n above_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o apprehend_v the_o invisible_a and_o unspeakable_a thing_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v and_o promise_v

to_o please_v god_n according_a to_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n in_o his_o place_n and_o calling_n the_o second_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o life_n be_v here_o mean_v as_o death_n be_v here_o twofold_a the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o so_o be_v life_n the_o first_o be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n the_o second_o be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n with_o god_n the_o first_o be_v call_v natural_a the_o second_o spiritual_a or_o eternal_a life_n and_o both_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o place_n for_o paul_n bring_v this_o very_a text_n to_o prove_v the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n by_o faith_n 7.11_o and_o justification_n be_v a_o part_n of_o spiritual_a life_n because_o it_o be_v the_o acceptation_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o prophet_n say_v the_o just_a man_n shall_v live_v have_v relation_n not_o only_o to_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n then_o to_o come_v but_o also_o to_o eternal_a life_n the_o three_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o be_v the_o faith_n here_o mean_v and_o that_o be_v justify_v or_o save_v faith_n because_o we_o must_v live_v by_o the_o

be_v this_o the_o just_a while_o he_o live_v in_o this_o world_n he_o shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n this_o latter_a construction_n and_o sense_n i_o rather_o choose_v and_o embrace_v because_o paul_n 12._o cven_v in_o this_o sense_n bring_v this_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o life_n eternal_a and_o consequent_o justification_n come_v not_o by_o work_v according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o by_o

in_o the_o world_n be_v sufficient_a alone_a to_o provoke_v god_n to_o plague_n and_o punish_v we_o sundry_a way_n and_o that_o grievous_o therefore_o let_v we_o with_o bitterness_n of_o heart_n

settle_n of_o the_o conscience_n in_o this_o point_n these_o argument_n may_v be_v use_v the_o first_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n nature_n can_v say_v he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v if_o he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o and_o his_o will_n to_o man_n for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v be_v worship_v and_o this_o revelation_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o in_o no_o other_o write_n of_o man_n because_o we_o find_v the_o doctrine_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v no_o other_o doctrine_n or_o learning_n whatsoever_o for_o it_o be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o all_o other_o religion_n come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o it_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o evermore_o consent_v with_o itself_o without_o change_n or_o alteration_n the_o apostle_n agree_v with_o the_o

wonderful_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o other_o write_n in_o the_o world_n this_o evidence_n stand_v special_o in_o eight_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o writer_n of_o scripture_n full_o and_o plain_o set_v down_o their_o own_o fault_n 11.13_o yea_o their_o chief_a fault_n not_o spare_v to_o shame_v themselves_o in_o man_n reason_n and_o this_o argue_v that_o in_o writing_n they_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o book_n of_o scripture_n contain_v many_o mystery_n above_o the_o reach_n of_o man_n reason_n yet_o not_o against_o reason_n because_o we_o may_v discern_v a_o truth_n in_o they_o and_o that_o by_o ground_n &_o principle_n of_o reason_n the_o three_o that_o the_o speech_n of_o scripture_n aim_v not_o at_o by-respect_n but_o simple_o and_o absolute_o give_v and_o ascribe_v all_o glory_n to_o god_n alone_o the_o four_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n contain_v full_a and_o perfect_a doctrine_n for_o the_o pacify_v settle_v and_o direct_v of_o the_o conscience_n in_o all_o thing_n the_o five_o be_v the_o holiness_n and_o purity_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n in_o that_o it_o

evidence_n of_o truth_n appear_v be_v the_o consent_n of_o scripture_n with_o itself_o for_o doctrine_n agree_v with_o history_n and_o every_o part_n with_o every_o part_n this_o manifold_a evidence_n of_o truth_n show_v that_o scripture_n be_v from_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n if_o any_o say_v that_o they_o find_v no_o such_o evidence_n in_o scripture_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v their_o own_o fault_n for_o if_o they_o will_v serious_o read_v the_o scripture_n with_o prayer_n to_o god_n it_o will_v appear_v the_o three_o argument_n be_v the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o word_n which_o appear_v on_o this_o manner_n 10._o god_n word_n be_v flat_a contrary_n to_o the_o nature_n and_o corrupt_a disposition_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o when_o be_v preach_v it_o convince_v and_o

unless_o it_o be_v of_o divine_a operation_n the_o four_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n wrought_v miracle_n for_o the_o ratify_n and_o confirm_v of_o their_o doctrine_n now_o these_o miracle_n surpass_v the_o strength_n of_o nature_n and_o be_v immediate_o from_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o doctrine_n thereby_o confirm_v be_v also_o of_o god_n the_o five_o and_o last_o be_v that_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o 13.2_o apostle_n contain_v many_o prophecy_n or_o prediction_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v that_o none_o can_v foresee_v or_o foretell_v but_o god_n

now_o these_o and_o the_o like_a prophecy_n argue_v that_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n be_v of_o god_n by_o these_o and_o like_a argument_n be_v all_o that_o inward_o doubt_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o settle_v and_o establish_v their_o conscience_n this_o do_v then_o follow_v the_o three_o point_n and_o that_o be_v that_o we_o must_v search_v and_o inquire_v what_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o scope_n of_o the_o whole_a bible_n be_v christ_n with_o his_o benefit_n and_o he_o be_v reveal_v propound_v and_o offer_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o main_a promise_n of_o the_o word_n the_o tenor_n whereof_o be_v that_o god_n will_v give_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a to_o such_o as_o will_v believe_v in_o christ._n to_o this_o main_a promise_n god_n have_v add_v a_o main_a commandment_n which_o bid_v we_o to_o believe_v the_o say_a promise_n 3.23_o or_o to_o apply_v christ_n with_o his_o benefit_n unto_o ourselves_o now_o than_o our_o three_o duty_n be_v to_o subject_v our_o heart_n and_o will_n to_o this_o commandment_n that_o bid_v we_o believe_v in_o christ._n this_o be_v the_o subjection_n of_o faith_n of_o which_o two_o thing_n must_v be_v observe_v one_o be_v that_o this_o be_v the_o first_o subjection_n that_o we_o can_v give_v to_o god_n to_o trust_v he_o upon_o his_o promise_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o life_n eternal_a and_o from_o this_o subjection_n of_o faith_n arise_v our_o subjection_n to_o the_o whole_a word_n in_o christ_n be_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o amen_n ●●_o the_o law_n and_o the_o obedience_n of_o all_o the_o commandment_n thereof_o be_v establish_v by_o faith_n without_o christ_n no_o good_a thing_n can_v be_v do_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o this_o subjection_n be_v easy_a in_o respect_n of_o that_o subjection_n
