do_v not_o hinder_v and_o consequent_o what_o also_o do_v hinder_v the_o soul_n from_o come_v invert_v the_o order_n first_o then_o what_o do_v not_o hinder_v i_o answer_v brief_o and_o punctual_o thus_o rule_n 1._o first_o the_o want_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o feeling_n either_o of_o god_n favour_n towards_o we_o or_o of_o the_o present_a apprehension_n to_o our_o own_o sense_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o we_o do_v not_o hinder_v i_o say_v that_o the_o want_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o feeling_n either_o of_o god_n favour_n to_o the_o soul_n or_o of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o hinder_v a_o man_n the_o ground_n of_o it_o be_v this_o if_o he_o that_o have_v great_a interest_n in_o god_n love_n may_v yet_o notwithstanding_o not_o be_v assure_v of_o it_o in_o his_o own_o sense_n if_o he_o that_o have_v a_o great_a work_n of_o grace_n may_v yet_o not_o be_v able_a to_o apprehend_v that_o work_n that_o god_n give_v nay_o if_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v exact_o before_o god_n can_v see_v the_o power_n of_o grace_n that_o help_v he_o so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v certain_a this_o can_v hinder_v he_o from_o the_o right_n of_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n but_o the_o former_a may_v be_v ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o rule_n be_v undeniable_a rule_n 2._o this_o be_v no_o hindrance_n from_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n that_o a_o man_n find_v a_o deadish_a

the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o soul_n sometime_o when_o it_o be_v most_o pester_v and_o the_o heart_n most_o deadened_a and_o clog_v be_v then_o true_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o grace_n

all_o which_o argue_v that_o a_o man_n be_v deep_o interest_v in_o god_n love_n and_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n to_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o his_o covenant_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o the_o sacrament_n i_o dare_v say_v this_o that_o the_o worst_a service_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n to_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n find_v most_o acceptance_n with_o god_n the_o poor_a duty_n for_o the_o performance_n outward_o be_v sometime_o most_o perfect_a why_o because_o then_o the_o heart_n be_v most_o abase_v in_o itself_o and_o then_o it_o see_v most_o

forwardness_n and_o sufficiency_n many_o time_n unto_o duty_n be_v accompany_v often_o with_o most_o falseness_n at_o least_o wise_a with_o most_o pride_n and_o haughtiness_n of_o heart_n so_o deadness_n weariness_n untowardness_n inability_n be_v many_o time_n accompany_v with_o most_o humility_n with_o most_o brokennesse_n with_o most_o baseness_n with_o most_o go_v out_o of_o himself_o
