the_o spirit_n be_v life_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n say_v the_o apostle_n we_o have_v most_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n give_v to_o we_o that_o by_o they_o we_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n where_o we_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n accompany_v the_o promise_n &_o therefore_o lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o promise_n we_o close_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o hereby_o come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n i_o compare_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o seal_n and_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o wax_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o hand_n which_o set_v on_o this_o seal_n by_o faith_n we_o cause_v the_o spirit_n to_o work_v and_o fit_v its_o particular_a aid_n and_o relief_n for_o the_o leave_v of_o any_o impression_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o soul_n the_o next_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v this_o 2_o 2_o it_o not_o only_o close_v with_o god_n spirit_n in_o the_o promise_n but_o it_o look_v at_o that_o particular_a grace_n in_o

close_v with_o the_o promise_n and_o bring_v the_o same_o stamp_n into_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n as_o in_o those_o two_o place_n john_n 1.16_o of_o his_o fullness_n have_v we_o

so_o as_o he_o be_v wise_a and_o meek_a and_o holy_a he_o make_v we_o so_o as_o in_o a_o seal_n look_v how_o many_o letter_n be_v upon_o the_o seal_n so_o many_o stamp_n will_v be_v leave_v upon_o

place_n and_o seek_v for_o respect_n in_o the_o world_n no_o no_o this_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o be_v overcome_v of_o corruption_n rather_o say_v lord_n it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o sinful_a heart_n of_o i_o to_o be_v humble_a it_o be_v not_o in_o my_o power_n to_o put_v up_o a_o injury_n but_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o infinite_a power_n in_o thou_o oh_o bless_a redeemer_n let_v that_o good_a spirit_n that_o wought_v humility_n in_o thou_o work_v the_o same_o in_o i_o and_o give_v i_o a_o meek_a and_o heavenly_a heart_n and_o if_o the_o promise_n come_v not_o sudden_o yet_o look_v

no_o no_o you_o have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o your_o garment_n abroad_o as_o in_o the_o house_n therefore_o wear_v christ_n all_o the_o day_n long_o and_o go_v clad_v with_o he_o continual_o and_o be_v able_a to_o converse_v and_o trade_n in_o christ_n put_v on_o christ_n in_o every_o thing_n in_o buy_v and_o in_o sell_v in_o eat_v and_o in_o drink_v and_o in_o all_o thing_n when_o you_o have_v any_o duty_n to_o be_v do_v consider_v what_o grace_n be_v most_o needful_a and_o repair_v to_o he_o for_o the_o same_o will_v you_o put_v on_o christ_n in_o eat_v &_o drink_v then_o say_v thus_o o_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o in_o my_o soul_n to_o be_v thankful_a and_o sober_a therefore_o give_v i_o that_o spirit_n of_o thou_o which_o wrought_v secret_o upon_o other_o oh_o bless_a redeemer_n let_v that_o good_a spirit_n work_v also_o in_o i_o that_o i_o may_v take_v all_o from_o thy_o hand_n and_o receive_v strength_n from_o all_o and_o honour_v thou_o by_o all_o if_o this_o be_v once_o in_o

this_o and_o straight_o we_o do_v it_o and_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n make_v no_o provision_n for_o the_o flesh_n from_o this_o late_a clause_n of_o the_o verse_n we_o may_v observe_v these_o four_o

3._o the_o three_o doctrine_n be_v this_o we_o must_v not_o be_v provident_a for_o our_o corruption_n as_o a_o good_a husband_n will_v do_v for_o his_o outward_a estate_n or_o thus_o we_o must_v not_o

ask_v quest_n quest_n what_o it_o be_v then_o to_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o flesh_n that_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o do_v make_v provision_n for_o it_o or_o no_o this_o imply_v three_o

by_o meditation_n we_o warm_v our_o wicked_a heart_n as_o the_o adulterer_n think_v of_o his_o dalliance_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o they_o and_o even_o suck_v out_o the_o sweetness_n of_o those_o sin_n by_o meditation_n so_o the_o wrathful_a man_n blow_v up_o his_o impatience_n &_o increase_v it_o by_o meditation_n oh_o say_v he_o he_o have_v be_v behold_v to_o i_o and_o yet_o he_o have_v
