A44796	The invisible things of God brought to light by the revelation of the eternal spirit who was an ey-witness of the wonders of the Lord in the beginning : wherein is declared the felicity of all things in the beginning and the sad estate of all things after the transgression ... / by Francis Howgill.

of_o error_n and_o have_v cause_v the_o pure_a spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o keep_n back_o and_o a_o quiet_a wait_a out_o of_o willing_a or_o

with_o full_a assurance_n of_o its_o own_o will_n and_o then_o after_o it_o be_v clear_o see_v and_o its_o motion_n then_o keep_v under_o all_o reason_n and_o keep_v out_o all_o question_v and_o give_v not_o way_n to_o temptation_n and_o that_o which_o move_v of_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n will_v carry_v thou_o through_o in_o its_o own_o operation_n and_o power_n to_o accomplish_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o thou_o will_v have_v peace_n be_v obedient_a and_o thy_o strength_n will_v be_v renew_v for_o as_o any_o be_v bring_v to_o submit_v unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n when_o it_o

it_o kindle_v a_o fire_n in_o that_o shall_v not_o

that_o which_o show_v a_o man_n the_o temptation_n when_o they_o arise_v that_o be_v the_o same_o now_o this_o they_o call_v common_a and_o that_o which_o prevent_v a_o man_n and_o keep_v he_o back_o that_o he_o lend_v not_o his_o heart_n nor_o put_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o commit_v evil_a but_o restrain_v a_o man_n from_o it_o be_v not_o that_o save_v out_o of_o evil_a which_o stop_v the_o adversary_n in_o his_o way_n that_o he_o enter_v not_o but_o preserve_v the_o creature_n out_o of_o defilement_n and_o save_v he_o from_o it_o be_v not_o this_o save_n be_v not_o this_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o of_o its_o operation_n write_v of_o to_o titus_n that_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n which_o have_v appear_v and_o do_v now_o appear_v to_o all_o man_n which_o teach_v self-denial_n they_o to_o deny_v worldly_a lust_n and_o also_o to_o live_v godly_o or_o like_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o now_o do_v the_o same_o be_v not_o this_o sufficient_a to_o believe_v in_o and_o sufficient_a to_o save_v now_o i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a

the_o selfsame_a thing_n one_o gift_n yet_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o pure_a virtue_n and_o power_n which_o be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o obey_v the_o life_n which_o be_v already_o make_v manifest_a by_o its_o appearance_n unto_o all_o ob._n but_o some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v that_o this_o be_v error_n and_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n and_o to_o orthodox_n teacher_n that_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v save_v be_v near_o all_o man_n and_o have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v though_o grace_n be_v save_v in_o itself_o even_o the_o grace_n that_o have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n and_o may_v true_o be_v call_v save_v grace_n yet_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o it_o neither_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o it_o convince_v and_o show_v evil_a and_o check_n and_o judge_n for_o it_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o variation_n nor_o change_n in_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o as_o it_o work_v upon_o different_a object_n for_o faith_n and_o unbelief_n be_v two_o different_a thing_n as_o light_v and_o darkness_n be_v different_a and_o so_o the_o word_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n that_o be_v to_o say_v unto_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n unto_o they_o who_o be_v in_o the_o unbelief_n who_o indeed_o be_v dead_a while_o they_o live_v yet_o there_o be_v the_o same_o grace_n and_o the_o same_o word_n of_o grace_n yet_o here_o be_v different_a operation_n so_o the_o lord_n kill_v and_o make_v alive_a yet_o the_o same_o lord_n the_o spirit_n convince_v of_o sin_n and_o reprove_v for_o sin_n and_o also_o consolate_v and_o comfort_n here_o be_v diversity_n of_o operation_n yet_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o never_o alter_v object_n but_o further_a some_o may_v say_v if_o that_o it_o be_v save_v grace_n or_o at_o the_o least_o a_o degree_n and_o a_o measure_n of_o save_a grace_n that_o have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n then_o how_o be_v it_o that_o all_o be_v not_o save_v by_o it_o answ._n because_o i_o will_v all_o stumble_a block_n be_v remove_v away_o that_o the_o path_n may_v be_v make_v plain_a that_o all_o may_v come_v to_o believe_v in_o that_o which_o be_v god_n gift_n in_o which_o there_o be_v power_n and_o sufficiency_n therefore_o i_o be_o constrain_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o

save_v by_o it_o because_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o it_o neither_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o yet_o its_o validity_n power_n and_o virtue_n be_v nevertheless_o in_o itself_o and_o though_o they_o that_o be_v careless_a and_o heedless_a say_v we_o feel_v no_o power_n nor_o sufficiency_n in_o it_o to_o save_v we_o from_o sin_n yet_o this_o make_v not_o void_a their_o confidence_n who_o have_v receive_v it_o &_o know_v its_o power_n which_o have_v give_v they_o power_n and_o also_o sufficiency_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n what_o though_o unbeliever_n who_o be_v in_o the_o alienation_n say_v there_o be_v no_o beauty_n in_o christ_n neither_o form_n nor_o comeliness_n this_o make_v not_o his_o glory_n void_a who_o be_v the_o express_a image_n of_o the_o father_n full_a

that_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a teacher_n of_o itself_o i_o mean_v as_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n through_o it_o be_v make_v manifest_a unto_o all_o they_o that_o harken_v to_o
