that_o we_o must_v find_v out_o the_o certainty_n and_o sincerity_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o obedience_n by_o self-examination_n before_o we_o can_v have_v a_o wellgrounded_n assurance_n that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n already_o and_o that_o such_o a_o assurance_n belong_v to_o the_o reflect_v act_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o that_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v but_o if_o by_o believe_v we_o mean_v come_v to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n 2.12_o psal_n 119.60_o 1_o john_n 3.23_o esther_n 2.12_o we_o shall_v make_v haste_n and_o not_o delay_v to_o keep_v this_o command_n as_o well_o as_o other_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o as_o the_o queen_n of_o persia_n be_v to_o be_v prepare_v six_o month_n with_o oil_n of_o myrrh_n and_o six_o month_n with_o sweet_a odour_n and_o other_o thing_n before_o they_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o the_o king_n so_o we_o must_v continue_v such_o a_o time_n under_o humiliation_n and_o so_o long_o under_o contrition_n before_o we_o may_v presume_v to_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a we_o shall_v count_v the_o cost_n of_o be_v his_o disciple_n 13.21_o luke_n 14.28_o matth._n 13.21_o for_o want_v of_o which_o many_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a be_v forward_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o joy_n and_o believe_v for_o a_o time_n but_o afterward_o fall_v away_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o we_o suspend_v our_o believe_a till_o we_o have_v thorough_o weigh_v every_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o case_n as_o in_o ordinary_a marriage_n where_o person_n shall_v inform_v themselves_o well_o of_o every_o particular_a before_o they_o engage_v because_o when_o once_o engage_v it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o to_o repent_v or_o to_o make_v a_o better_a choice_n but_o it_o be_v herein_o as_o if_o a_o person_n have_v one_o propound_v to_o she_o that_o she_o must_v marry_v or_o be_v undo_v and_o one_o who_o they_o know_v will_v put_v she_o upon_o nothing_o or_o require_v nothing_o of_o she_o which_o she_o can_v just_o except_v against_o in_o who_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o she_o can_v dislike_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n or_o inconvenience_n in_o finish_v such_o a_o match_n without_o further_a delay_n so_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o name_n whereby_o we_o can_v be_v save_v if_o christ_n do_v put_v we_o upon_o any_o thing_n or_o require_v any_o thing_n of_o we_o which_o heaven_n will_v not_o countervail_v or_o if_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o yet_o come_v to_o he_o we_o may_v defer_v our_o believe_v and_o though_o something_o be_v to_o be_v do_v as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o make_v we_o willing_a to_o come_v to_o christ_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o long_a time_n

convey_v the_o image_n to_o it_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o touch_n chap._n xi_o i_o will_v finish_v all_o with_o a_o few_o word_n about_o the_o necessity_n of_o holiness_n both_o for_o the_o

betwixt_o the_o necessity_n of_o holiness_n or_o obedience_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o to_o the_o continuation_n of_o it_o among_o those_o that_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n believe_v the_o perseverance_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o intercision_n of_o justification_n but_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o holiness_n in_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v for_o though_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v at_o first_o by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v only_o in_o tendency_n to_o obedience_n but_o want_v time_n and_o opportunity_n to_o put_v itself_o forth_o yet_o where_o faith_n be_v unfeigned_a and_o only_o such_o faith_n justify_v it_o will_v as_o there_o be_v occasion_n and_o opportunity_n work_n by_o love_n so_o 12.14_o gal._n 5.6_o 1_o cor._n 6.11_o heb._n 12.14_o that_o who_o god_n do_v justify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n he_o do_v also_o sanctify_v by_o his_o spirit_n therefore_o without_o holiness_n none_o shall_v see_v god_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o holiness_n be_v require_v on_o the_o same_o account_n with_o faith_n much_o less_o in_o co-ordination_a with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n i_o doubt_v it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o ordinary_a christian_n divinity_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n serve_v only_o as_o grain_n of_o allowance_n to_o make_v our_o righteousness_n currant_n where_o it_o be_v too_o light_a but_o as_o christ_n have_v no_o sharer_n in_o his_o mediation_n so_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n needful_a to_o be_v add_v to_o his_o satisfaction_n but_o we_o be_v acquit_v only_o upon_o the_o account_n thereof_o and_o whatever_o we_o do_v serve_v not_o for_o so_o much_o as_o grain_n of_o allowance_n to_o make_v his_o satisfaction_n currant_n with_o god_n for_o we_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a upon_o other_o account_n not_o only_o because_o god_n will_v insist_v on_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n condecent_fw-la to_o his_o holiness_n who_o be_v of_o pure_a eye_n than_o to_o behold_v evil_a 1.13_o heb._n 1.13_o but_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a necessity_n of_o it_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o our_o chief_a end_n which_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n and_o enjoy_v he_o as_o when_o nabuchadnezzar_n choose_v some_o of_o the_o captivity_n to_o serve_v under_o he_o etc._n dan._n 1.3_o etc._n etc._n he_o will_v not_o only_o have_v they_o well-favoured_a and_o feed_v with_o the_o king_n meat_n and_o wine_n that_o they_o may_v appear_v sightly_o before_o the_o king_n but_o have_v such_o choose_v as_o

unworthy_a to_o partake_v of_o his_o glory_n but_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v invite_v those_o that_o be_v sick_a and_o that_o of_o some_o loathsome_a disease_n to_o eat_v at_o his_o table_n if_o he_o will_v of_o his_o bounty_n and_o goodness_n dispense_v with_o the_o smell_n and_o loathsomeness_n of_o their_o disease_n it_o will_v be_v no_o favour_n to_o they_o in_o the_o condition_n wherein_o
