something_o join_v with_o it_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v full_a who_o care_v not_o for_o eat_v grape_n and_o therefore_o stand_v look_v and_o gaze_v on_o they_o or_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o a_o thirst_n he_o will_v gaze_v more_o on_o the_o grave_v of_o the_o cup_n than_o he_o will_v desire_v to_o drink_v that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o cup_n when_o as_o the_o hungry_a or_o thirsty_a man_n he_o will_v not_o so_o much_o gaze_v on_o the_o grape_n or_o respect_v the_o outside_n of_o the_o cup_n as_o to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v so_o a_o true_o humble_v man_n he_o will_v not_o regard_v eloquence_n and_o wit_n in_o the_o word_n this_o be_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o a_o grave_a cup_n that_o will_v not_o satisfy_v he_o but_o the_o pure_a word_n alone_o be_v that_o which_o will_v satisfy_v he_o and_o nourish_v he_o up_o in_o grace_n a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o humble_a be_v like_o a_o sieve_n that_o lose_v through_o it_o all_o that_o be_v good_a but_o keep_v nothing_o but_o mote_n and_o

promise_n unto_o the_o soul_n this_o he_o let_v go_v as_o not_o worth_a the_o keep_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n remain_v so_o barren_a and_o fruitless_a because_o they_o do_v not_o retain_v that_o or_o love_v that_o which_o will_v make_v they_o fruitful_a in_o holiness_n these_o man_n be_v like_o child_n that_o cry_v for_o book_n not_o because_o they_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o

they_o read_v the_o word_n but_o not_o to_o learn_v to_o be_v edify_v by_o they_o but_o to_o play_v with_o some_o golden_a letter_n to_o hear_v the_o folly_n and_o foolishness_n of_o he_o that_o preach_v himself_o and_o not_o christ_n or_o for_o fashion_n sake_n or_o for_o some_o other_o by-respect_n but_o not_o to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v build_v up_o in_o grace_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o word_n be_v the_o medicine_n part_n the_o heal_a part_n for_o as_o there_o be_v power_n in_o the_o 2._o word_n to_o fill_v the_o soul_n full_a of_o grace_n so_o there_o be_v another_o power_n in_o the_o word_n to_o heal_v the_o breach_n and_o wound_n in_o the_o soul_n now_o he_o that_o will_v find_v this_o save_a power_n in_o the_o word_n he_o must_v be_v humble_a he_o must_v find_v and_o feel_v himself_o sick_a of_o sin_n unto_o death_n than_o the_o word_n have_v this_o power_n to_o save_v and_o to_o heal_v but_o if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o find_v himself_o spiritual_o sick_a the_o word_n will_v never_o heal_v he_o but_o it_o will_v be_v a_o quite_o contrary_a medicine_n rather_o a_o destroy_a medicine_n then_o a_o heal_a medicine_n it_o will_v be_v unto_o he_o like_v as_o the_o sun_n be_v to_o he_o that_o have_v sore_a eye_n the_o more_o the_o sun_n shine_v the_o more_o offensive_a it_o be_v unto_o he_o and_o the_o great_a pain_n it_o put_v he_o unto_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o humble_a and_o sick_a of_o sin_n the_o more_o the_o word_n light_v upon_o his_o sin_n the_o more_o he_o storm_n and_o strive_v against_o it_o it_o be_v with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a when_o man_n be_v sick_a than_o every_o thing_n trouble_v they_o than_o they_o will_v be_v humble_a so_o when_o man_n be_v spiritual_o sick_a than_o sin_n trouble_v they_o it_o be_v with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o absalon_n and_o david_n there_o be_v a_o rumour_n of_o war_n before_o there_o be_v true_a war_n so_o it_o be_v with_o man_n in_o this_o case_n they_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o war_n in_o themselves_o they_o seel_v sin_n and_o be_v affright_v with_o it_o but_o the_o war_n be_v not_o true_a it_o be_v but_o a_o counterfeit_a war_n a_o feign_a war_n because_o it_o be_v between_o the_o conscience_n and_o hell_n and_o not_o between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o by_o this_o whether_o you_o be_v true_o humble_v or_o no._n the_o four_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o sign_n you_o be_v thorough_o humble_v or_o no_o be_v this_o when_o a_o man_n be_v little_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n when_o he_o think_v himself_o worthy_a to_o be_v destroy_v this_o we_o see_v to_o be_v the_o true_a property_n of_o a_o humble_a soul_n in_o 37._o eze._n 36._o then_o shall_v you_o remember_v your_o own_o evil_a waïe_n and_o your_o do_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o shall_v loathe_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o sight_n for_o your_o iniquity_n they_o shall_v so_o remember_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v think_v themselves_o worthy_a to_o be_v destroy_v for_o then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o be_v a_o man_n true_o humble_v lam._n 3._o 22._o say_v the_o church_n it_o be_v thy_o mercy_n that_o we_o be_v 22._o not_o consume_v as_o if_o she_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o worthy_a to_o be_v destroy_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n in_o thou_o to_o save_v i_o now_o if_o a_o man_n be_v humble_v he_o will_v be_v patient_a mild_a and_o gentle_a and_o love_v he_o will_v patient_o undergo_v reproach_n and_o shame_n for_o christ_n and_o love_v they_o that_o show_v no_o true_a love_n unto_o he_o on_o the_o contrary_a you_o may_v see_v if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o humble_v than_o he_o be_v proud_a and_o impatient_a collericke_a and_o angry_a danid_v be_v humble_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n and_o eli_n be_v humble_v when_o he_o hear_v the_o judgement_n that_o be_v threaten_v against_o his_o house_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n say_v he_o 1._o sam._n 3._o let_v he_o do_v what_o be_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n that_o be_v i_o be_o 18._o worthy_a of_o it_o let_v come_v what_o will_v come_v but_o if_o your_o heart_n rise_v with_o pride_n and_o impatience_n your_o heart_n be_v not_o true_o humble_v and_o break_v for_o he_o that_o be_v the_o humble_a man_n be_v least_o in_o his_o own_o eye_n sin_n will_v break_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o holy_a man_n and_o humble_v he_o but_o if_o you_o be_v not_o humble_v your_o heart_n will_v remain_v stiff_a and_o stubborn_a that_o be_v they_o will_v not_o yield_v therefore_o the_o more_o humility_n that_o a_o man_n get_v the_o more_o be_v his_o heart_n break_v with_o sin_n the_o less_o he_o esteem_v of_o himself_o therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o be_v little_a or_o great_a in_o your_o own_o eye_n and_o according_o judge_v of_o yourselves_o the_o five_o sign_n whereby_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v thorough_o humble_v or_o no_o be_v this_o examine_v sign_n your_o obedience_n unto_o christ_n if_o the_o soul_n be_v humble_v it_o will_v yield_v general_a obedience_n unto_o god_n true_a humiliation_n will_v breed_v obedience_n in_o you_o now_o if_o you_o find_v that_o you_o yield_v no_o obedience_n unto_o god_n but_o you_o will_v notwithstanding_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o be_v drink_v and_o game_n it_o be_v because_o you_o be_v never_o true_o humble_v for_o if_o you_o be_v you_o will_v yield_v obedience_n humiliation_n fit_v the_o soul_n for_o obedience_n make_v it_o of_o a_o pliable_a disposition_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o humiliation_n make_v reason_n a_o man_n to_o see_v god_n in_o his_o holiness_n and_o power_n he_o that_o before_o respect_v not_o god_n when_o he_o come_v to_o this_o to_o see_v the_o power_n of_o god_n will_v submit_v himself_o a_o example_n of_o this_o we_o have_v in_o belchazer_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n after_o he_o be_v thorough_o humble_v but_o when_o a_o holy_a man_n with_o the_o power_n of_o god_n see_v the_o purity_n and_o perfection_n that_o be_v in_o god_n this_o humble_v he_o more_o and_o that_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o own_o basnesse_n and_o vileness_n and_o hence_o proper_o the_o obedience_n of_o a_o holy_a man_n proceed_v obedience_n depend_v upon_o humiliation_n as_o with_o man_n when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n see_v the_o power_n of_o a_o superior_a and_o that_o he_o be_v under_o his_o power_n than_o he_o become_v humble_a and_o obedient_a the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o humiliation_n make_v a_o man_n to_o desire_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n now_o reason_n you_o know_v a_o man_n

by_o pronunciation_n against_o he_o and_o your_o sin_n be_v as_o great_a and_o the_o same_o but_o you_o know_v they_o not_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o they_o be_v the_o same_o and_o all_o one_o and_o that_o in_o these_o three_o particular_n first_o simon_n magus_n think_v that_o the_o spirit_n 1._o may_v have_v be_v have_v at_o any_o

thou_o etc._n etc._n even_o so_o when_o you_o put_v off_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o your_o sin_n the_o same_o think_v that_o you_o may_v have_v he_o when_o you_o will_v that_o you_o can_v have_v he_o at_o your_o pleasure_n to_o mortify_v a_o strong_a lust_n a_o sin_n that_o you_o will_v be_v rid_v of_o and_o for_o a_o sin_n that_o be_v please_v unto_o your_o nature_n you_o can_v when_o you_o will_v subdue_v it_o you_o can_v when_o you_o will_v forbear_v it_o and_o be_v not_o this_o one_o part_n of_o simon_n magus_n his_o sin_n second_o simon_n magus_n think_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o give_v the_o spirit_n what_o shall_v i_o give_v 2._o thou_o peter_z for_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v not_o your_o sin_n the_o same_o do_v not_o many_o man_n think_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o give_v the_o spirit_n when_o all_o the_o time_n of_o their_o life_n they_o will_v neglect_v the_o call_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o in_o some_o great_a affliction_n when_o they_o lie_v upon_o their_o death_n bed_n than_o they_o will_v send_v for_o the_o minister_n but_o not_o till_o then_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o give_v the_o spirit_n o_o sir_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v can_v you_o tell_v i_o of_o any_o hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o like_a three_o simon_n magus_n he_o desire_v the_o spirit_n to_o a_o wrong_a end_n namely_o for_o his_o own_o advantage_n 3._o that_o upon_o whosoever_o i_o shall_v lay_v my_o hand_n they_o may_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o do_v not_o man_n do_v the_o like_a they_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o they_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o have_v he_o but_o yet_o not_o for_o a_o right_a end_n for_o god_n glory_n but_o for_o some_o carnal_a end_n of_o their_o own_o that_o they_o may_v be_v repute_v thus_o and_o thus_o but_o not_o to_o any_o other_o end_n for_o know_v that_o a_o man_n may_v desire_v grace_n but_o if_o the_o aim_n of_o his_o desire_n be_v for_o his_o own_o end_n the_o desire_n be_v sin_n the_o same_o that_o simon_n magus_n be_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o defer_v not_o put_v not_o off_o the_o opportunity_n and_o remember_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v hebr._n 3._o 15._o to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n this_o 15._o be_v the_o day_n now_o you_o have_v the_o opportunity_n the_o candle_n be_v in_o your_o hand_n and_o you_o may_v light_v your_o soul_n by_o it_o the_o word_n be_v near_o you_o well_o light_v your_o candle_n by_o it_o you_o may_v now_o light_v they_o while_o the_o fire_n be_v here_o but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o now_o how_o will_v you_o when_o the_o candle_n be_v out_o when_o you_o shall_v be_v either_o take_v from_o the_o mean_n or_o else_o the_o mean_n from_o you_o therefore_o labour_v to_o know_v the_o spirit_n and_o judge_v aright_o of_o he_o if_o you_o will_v get_v he_o the_o second_o mean_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n be_v to_o believe_v mean_n and_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o get_v faith_n be_v to_o be_v conscionable_a and_o constant_a in_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o else_o by_o faith_n preach_v gal._n 3._o you_o may_v know_v whether_o 2._o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o no_o by_o this_o examine_v whether_o you_o have_v get_v faith_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n our_o saviour_n say_v that_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o 33._o his_o fruit_n the_o branch_n can_v bear_v fruit_n except_o it_o receive_v virtue_n and_o strength_n from_o the_o root_n so_o if_o we_o get_v not_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o be_v join_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v never_o get_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v get_v the_o spirit_n you_o must_v get_v faith_n for_o faith_n be_v the_o knit_n and_o draw_v grace_n it_o will_v draw_v the_o spirit_n into_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o will_v knit_v he_o fast_o unto_o the_o soul_n that_o he_o can_v never_o depart_v away_o from_o it_o faith_n will_v recover_v the_o spirit_n if_o it_o seem_v to_o want_v his_o power_n of_o work_v in_o the_o soul_n it_o will_v return_v he_o if_o he_o seem_v to_o depart_v away_o it_o will_v enlarge_v the_o heart_n if_o the_o spirit_n be_v scant_v in_o it_o it_o will_v widen_v the_o narrow_a bottle_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o you_o know_v what_o christ_n say_v unto_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o gospel_n so_o be_v it_o unto_o thou_o according_a unto_o thy_o faith_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v get_v the_o spirit_n you_o must_v get_v faith_n in_o your_o heart_n if_o you_o will_v get_v a_o large_a measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n then_o get_v a_o large_a measure_n of_o faith_n for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n thrive_v not_o in_o the_o spirit_n but_o because_o they_o thrive_v not_o in_o faith_n the_o three_o mean_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n be_v a_o earnest_a desire_n join_v with_o prayer_n to_o desire_v and_o pray_v earnest_o mean_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n a_o instance_n of_o this_o we_o have_v in_o elisha_n servant_n to_o eliah_n he_o earnest_o desire_v and_o pray_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eliah_n his_o master_n may_v be_v double_v upon_o he_o not_o that_o he_o

desire_n for_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n than_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n be_v even_o so_o if_o you_o will_v but_o desire_v and_o pray_v earnest_o for_o the_o spirit_n you_o may_v get_v he_o solomon_n desire_a wisdom_n 12._o and_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o he_o have_v it_o and_o that_o in_o a_o large_a measure_n than_o those_o that_o go_v before_o he_o so_o if_o you_o will_v pray_v for_o the_o spirit_n you_o have_v his_o promise_n luke_n 11._o 13._o that_o he_o will_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n 13._o unto_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o and_o this_o
