A78218	[Baʻal-samz] or, Soveraigne balsome, gently applied in a few weighty considerations (by way of quærie) for healing the distempers of such professors of religion as Satan hath wounded and drawn aside (under the notion of living in God) to the utter renouncing and casting off the use of divine ordinances, and Gospel-institutions of worship. With an apendix by way of postscript to such professors, wherein the most principall grounds upon which they build their practise, are fully answered and removed. And a catalogue of the errors that many of them hold since they left the ordinances, discovered. As also a true relation of Gods extraordinary working upon one of this way very lately in Plimouth, to the sight of his error, for the good of others published. / By Will. Bartlet, an unworthy minister of the Gospel, and lecturer at Bytheford in Devonshire.	Bartlet, William, 1609 or 10-1682.; M. P.	1649 (1649)	Wing B987; Thomason E549_19; ESTC R209139	79,502	81

because_o the_o word_n and_o ordinance_n be_v nothing_o without_o the_o spirit_n they_o can_v never_o work_v any_o impression_n upon_o the_o soul_n or_o acquaint_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n or_o

of_o christ_n and_o duty_n of_o religion_n it_o be_v this_o that_o a_o person_n may_v do_v well_o enough_o etc._n etc._n without_o the_o use_n of_o they_o now_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o for_o the_o

live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o they_o can_v possible_o do_v so_o well_o nor_o so_o comfortable_o enjoy_v themselves_o in_o the_o neglect_n as_o they_o may_v if_o they_o do_v conscionable_o perform_v they_o and_o my_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v this_o which_o i_o conceive_v be_v ungainsayable_a because_o whatsoever_o such_o do_v enjoy_v in_o order_n to_o their_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n here_o in_o this_o world_n though_o in_o the_o great_a fullness_n they_o do_v not_o enjoy_v it_o with_o the_o blessing_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n they_o may_v enjoy_v they_o but_o not_o comfortable_o because_o not_o through_o a_o promise_n nor_o by_o virtue_n of_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n through_o who_o all_o our_o enjoyment_n become_v bless_v to_o we_o and_o without_o who_o all_o good_a thing_n become_v evil_a and_o accurse_a to_o we_o now_o such_o can_v possible_o enjoy_v their_o good_a thing_n through_o christ_n &_o a_o promise_n that_o neglect_v prayer_n &c_n &c_n &_o so_o by_o consequence_n not_o enjoy_v they_o nor_o themselves_o comfortable_o because_o those_o mercy_n that_o come_v to_o we_o through_o a_o promise_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o our_o interest_n in_o christ_n they_o come_v in_o the_o way_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o use_n of_o ordinance_n for_o the_o same_o god_n that_o have_v make_v a_o promise_n to_o be_v our_o god_n and_o to_o make_v we_o bless_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o mercy_n have_v also_o say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v seek_v unto_o for_o all_o those_o mercy_n before_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v they_o as_o ezek_n 36.37_o and_o when_o a_o person_n be_v once_o in_o christ_n his_o be_v in_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v he_o off_o from_o duty_n but_o rather_o put_v he_o upon_o the_o diligent_a performance_n of_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o dwell_v in_o believer_n be_v call_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n rom_n 8.15.26_o gal_n 4.6_o zech._n 12_o 10._o and_o christ_n have_v promise_v believer_n to_o grant_v they_o their_o desire_n upon_o their_o ask_v his_o father_n in_o his_o name_n john_n 14._o and_o 15._o and_o 16._o chapter_n matth._n 7.7_o with_o many_o other_o place_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o hereupon_o he_o enjoin_v believer_n to_o watch_v and_o pray_v and_o ask_v necessary_n daily_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n their_o

himself_o bless_v for_o ever_o be_v his_o portion_n but_o prayer_n fetch_v they_o in_o to_o the_o soul_n through_o jesus_n christ_n mediation_n and_o therefore_o as_o person_n live_v in_o the_o neglect_n of_o duty_n discover_v themselves_o to_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o consequent_o of_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n so_o they_o manifest_v themselves_o to_o have_v no_o true_a right_n to_o what_o they_o enjoy_v as_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o christ_n nor_o to_o have_v they_o in_o mercy_n from_o god_n or_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o enjoy_v a_o holy_a and_o

england_n and_o not_o rather_o from_o the_o predeterminate_a council_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n do_v not_o exclude_v in_o the_o least_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n towards_o the_o effect_n &_o bring_v about_o of_o they_o but_o as_o god_n have_v determine_v in_o his_o eternal_a counsel_n what_o he_o will_v do_v for_o the_o good_a of_o any_o of_o his_o people_n so_o he_o have_v also_o determine_v that_o the_o mean_n shall_v be_v use_v for_o the_o obtain_n it_o yea_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o this_o be_v make_v a_o
