shall_v make_v way_n for_o another_o duty_n certain_o that_o soul_n will_v persevere_v in_o duty_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o that_o which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n and_o that_o which_o be_v do_v out_o of_o a_o principle_n of_o true_a sanctify_a grace_n i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v many_o i_o suppose_v be_v much_o trouble_v in_o this_o case_n of_o conscience_n they_o say_v that_o one_o that_o have_v but_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n he_o may_v perform_v duty_n out_o of_o this_o strength_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n how_o can_v i_o know_v then_o when_o i_o perform_v duty_n out_o of_o a_o gracious_a principle_n a_o principle_n of_o sanctify_a grace_n and_o that_o my_o duty_n be_v not_o out_o of_o the_o strength_n o●_n natural_a conscience_n if_o i_o will_v give_v but_o one_o note_n and_o be_v to_o study_v never_o so_o long_o of_o it_o i_o will_v give_v this_o note_n rather_o than_o any_o one_o and_o that_o be_v this_o use_n i_o be_o now_o upon_o if_o one_o duty_n that_o thou_o perform_v give_v strength_n to_o another_o duty_n and_o make_v thou_o fit_a for_o it_o and_o enable_v thou_o to_o another_o duty_n this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o out_o of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n for_o a_o natural_a conscience_n though_o it_o put_v i_o upon_o the_o do_n of_o it_o yet_o it_o put_v not_o strength_n in_o i_o to_o do_v it_o but_o a_o gracious_a principle_n put_v i_o upon_o the_o do_n of_o it_o and_z puts_z strength_n in_o i_o to_o do_v it_o therefore_o when_o i_o be_o put_v upon_o a_o duty_n upon_o conscience_n and_o i_o find_v that_o one_o duty_n do_v fit_v i_o for_o another_o this_o be_v sure_o a_o gracious_a principle_n not_o only_o fit_v i_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n for_o so_o you_o may_v say_v mere_o through_o use_n i_o come_v to_o be_v more_o perfect_a but_o when_o it_o fit_v in_o another_o kind_n in_o another_o way_n by_o excercise_n we_o come_v to_o be_v more_o fit_a for_o that_o habit_n but_o here_o now_o in_o spiritual_a duty_n one_o make_v way_n for_o another_o though_o it_o be_v in_o another_o kind_n in_o another_o way_n this_o certain_o come_v from_o grace_n therefore_o if_o you_o mark_v this_o argument_n that_o god_n mercy_n but_o make_v way_n for_o another_o therefore_o you_o will_v have_v one_o duty_n make_v way_n for_o another_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n of_o continuance_n of_o mercy_n to_o thy_o soul_n again_o seventh_o use_v 7._o it_o shall_v be_v a_o use_n of_o reprehension_n of_o our_o unbelieved_a heart_n thus_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n when_o he_o come_v in_o one_o mercy_n that_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o door_n of_o hope_n for_o further_a but_o yet_o mark_v you_o our_o unbelieved_a heart_n will_v usual_o draw_v consequence_n from_o god_n mercy_n to_o nourish_v unbelief_n quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o raise_v hope_n and_o faith_n not_o to_o make_v god_n mercy_n a_o door_n of_o hope_n to_o let_v in_o mercy_n but_o make_v it_o a_o door_n of_o unbeleif_n to_o shut_v out_o mercy_n as_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o unbelieved_a heart_n work_v from_o mercy_n thus_o i_o they_o be_v mercy_n indeed_o but_o they_o will_v never_o hold_v they_o be_v mercy_n but_o they_o be_v to_o prepare_v i_o for_o great_a judgement_n and_o thus_o a_o unbelieved_a heart_n will_v work_v out_o argument_n of_o unbeleef_n from_o the_o very_a mercy_n of_o god_n themselves_o this_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n for_o god_n bestow_v mercy_n to_o raise_v up_o hope_n and_o to_o help_v thy_o faith_n to_o work_v not_o to_o help_v thy_o unbeleef_n to_o work_v and_o yet_o brother_n there_o be_v many_o christian_n that_o make_v no_o other_o use_n of_o god_n mercy_n but_o mere_o to_o nourish_v their_o unbelief_n and_o to_o strengthen_v their_o unbelief_n whereas_o they_o shall_v make_v they_o a_o door_n of_o hope_n again_o a_o eight_o use_v shall_v be_v this_o use_v

when_o the_o day_n begin_v to_o dawn_n o_o that_o thou_o may_v have_v more_o may_v then_o as_o you_o know_v that_o place_n that_o god_n bid_v david_n and_o his_o people_n when_o you_o hear_v the_o

of_o they_o and_o therefore_o take_v this_o one_o note_n it_o be_v a_o great_a reason_n why_o many_o christian_n be_v so_o long_a time_n in_o darkness_n and_o under_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n because_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o beginning_n of_o god_n mercy_n how_o god_n begin_v with_o they_o because_o they_o have_v not_o all_o the_o mercy_n they_o will_v have_v therefore_o they_o
