slip_v our_o time_n to_o come_v after_o but_o this_o be_v dangerous_a take_v heed_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o good_a note_n which_o the_o stoic_n have_v some_o thing_n be_v in_o our_o own_o power_n and_o in_o they_o we_o may_v use_v our_o own_o liberty_n but_o other_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o other_o and_o then_o we_o must_v take_v the_o opportunity_n while_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o must_v sail_v when_o the_o wind_n blow_v now_o of_o this_o latter_a kind_n be_v spiritual_a thing_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v the_o time_n that_o be_v offer_v indeed_o if_o the_o time_n be_v in_o our_o own_o power_n or_o if_o we_o know_v the_o time_n than_o we_o may_v delay_v act_v 1._o 11._o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o time_n which_o the_o father_n have_v keep_v for_o his_o own_o power_n and_o no_o man_n know_v what_o shall_v be_v neither_o can_v any_o tell_v it_o he_o and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o let_v slip_v the_o time_n satan_n deceive_v we_o in_o this_o just_a as_o the_o lapwing_n do_v when_o a_o manis_fw-la near_o her_o nest_n she_o fly_v a_o little_a before_o a_o man_n and_o then_o light_v and_o fly_v a_o little_a further_o till_o it_o have_v lead_v we_o quite_o out_o of_o the_o way_n so_o satan_n make_v we_o defer_v a_o little_a long_o and_o a_o little_a long_o till_o our_o time_n be_v pass_v and_o therefore_o defer_v now_o no_o long_o but_o come_v in_o unto_o christ_n while_o he_o offer_v himself_o in_o a_o love_a and_o tender_a manner_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v to_o teach_v and_o his_o manner_n of_o teach_v with_o much_o meekness_n and_o gentleness_n now_o follow_v the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v &_o that_o be_v the_o person_n that_o christ_n have_v to_o deal_v with_o such_o as_o be_v very_o meek_a compare_v here_o to_o a_o bruise_a reed_n and_o smoke_a flax_n a_o reed_n be_v of_o itself_o very_o weak_a and_o shake_v with_o every_o wind_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o break_v with_o the_o least_o force_n so_o a_o christian_n may_v be_v subject_a to_o much_o unevennesse_n and_o inconstancy_n in_o his_o way_n shake_v with_o every_o temptation_n but_o when_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o break_a reed_n this_o be_v a_o further_a degree_n of_o weakness_n and_o so_o for_o smoke_a flax_n it_o must_v be_v a_o exceed_o little_a spark_n which_o will_v not_o cause_v flax_n to_o smoke_n and_o yet_o with_o such_o weak_a one_o have_v christ_n to_o deal_v he_o will_v not_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n now_o from_o the_o person_n that_o christ_n teach_v that_o be_v weak_a one_o observe_v this_o point_n that_o there_o may_v be_v exceed_o great_a weakness_n in_o true_a christian_n we_o see_v in_o the_o text_n they_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o weak_a thing_n a_o bruise_a reed_n and_o smoke_a flax_n the_o first_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o because_o it_o please_v 1._o christ_n in_o work_v grace_n to_o do_v it_o by_o degree_n he_o may_v have_v perfect_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n altogether_o as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n in_o a_o instant_n but_o he_o deal_v with_o we_o now_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o generation_n as_o a_o plant_n be_v first_o swoon_n then_o rise_v by_o degree_n so_o we_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o grace_n be_v exceed_o small_a he_o heal_v we_o as_o he_o do_v the_o blind_a man_n not_o altogether_o but_o by_o little_a and_o by_o little_a first_o we_o see_v more_o dark_o 1_o and_o confuse_o and_o then_o more_o clear_o and_o he_o heal_v our_o lameness_n not_o altogether_o by_o set_v we_o on_o our_o foot_n at_o the_o first_o but_o he_o give_v we_o strength_n by_o degree_n first_o to_o go_v on_o crouch_n as_o it_o be_v or_o to_o creep_v or_o step_v forward_o and_o afterward_o to_o go_v more_o strong_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v many_o weak_a because_o grace_n be_v but_o weak_o wrought_v in_o they_o now_o the_o reason_n why_o christ_n do_v thus_o lead_v we_o on_o by_o degree_n be_v first_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o the_o work_n be_v not_o of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o we_o according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n for_o when_o we_o be_v bring_v on_o by_o degree_n thus_o it_o make_v it_o evident_a unto_o we_o that_o we_o receive_v strength_n from_o another_o second_o he_o do_v it_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o 8_o of_o deut._n 2._o 17._o there_o be_v set_v down_o these_o 2._o end_n why_o the_o lord_n lead_v they_o through_o the_o wilderness_n &_o not_o the_o near_a way_n first_o god_n end_n in_o it_o be_v 1_o to_o humble_v they_o second_o to_o let_v they_o know_v that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n so_o he_o do_v here_o to_o humble_v they_o and_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n god_n do_v not_o perfect_a grace_n at_o the_o first_o but_o by_o degree_n and_o likewise_o that_o they_o may_v know_v his_o power_n that_o it_o be_v his_o strength_n in_o which_o they_o walk_v that_o if_o a_o christian_a shall_v be_v leave_v to_o himself_o he_o will_v quick_o find_v that_o it_o be_v christ_n power_n that_o he_o must_v walk_v in_o that_o must_v go_v along_o with_o he_o to_o guide_v he_o and_o to_o deliver_v he_o from_o his_o enemy_n now_o for_o the_o use_n of_o this_o use_v it_o may_v serve_v to_o comfort_v weak_a christian_n what_o though_o thou_o be_v not_o at_o that_o growth_n as_o other_o christian_n be_v yet_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n a_o reed_n have_v life_n in_o it_o as_o well_o as_o the_o strong_a oak_n what_o though_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v the_o flame_n of_o a_o holy_a conversation_n but_o only_o the_o fume_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v there_o be_v fire_n man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n be_v like_o man_n that_o be_v gonein_o at_o a_o door_n or_o into_o a_o church_n or_o the_o like_a some_o be_v further_o in_o than_o other_o but_o yet_o all_o be_v in_o so_o though_o the_o weak_a be_v not_o so_o forward_o as_o another_o yet_o he_o may_v be_v in_o though_o not_o so_o far_o in_o for_o a_o bud_v draw_v sap_n from_o the_o root_n aswell_o as_o the_o fruit_n why_o so_o thou_o must_v be_v a_o bud_v and_o have_v grace_n in_o some_o measure_n though_o not_o in_o so_o great_a a_o measure_n yet_o thou_o may_v be_v a_o true_a christian_a though_o a_o weak_a christian_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o it_o objection_n be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o such_o a_o weakling_n as_o i_o be_o therefore_o consider_v the_o answ._n nature_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v deceive_v in_o that_o as_o in_o other_o thing_n in_o 2._o of_o the_o heb._n verse_n 17._o we_o see_v that_o it_o behove_v christ_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o his_o brethren_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a and_o faithful_a high_a priest_n etc._n etc._n christ_n be_v our_o high-priest_n now_o there_o be_v 3_o office_n of_o our_o high_a priest_n first_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v christ._n every_o sacrifice_n second_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n daily_o three_o to_o lay_v the_o wood_n together_o and_o preserve_v 3._o the_o fire_n now_o than_o it_o belong_v to_o christ_n to_o receive_v every_o sinner_n that_o come_v to_o he_o as_o it_o do_v to_o aaron_n to_o receive_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o if_o christ_n shall_v not_o do_v all_o that_o belong_v to_o his_o office_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o unfaithful_a high_a priest_n but_o he_o be_v call_v a_o faithful_a high_a priest_n if_o then_o a_o sinner_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o say_v lord_n i_o know_v that_o god_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n and_o i_o dare_v not_o come_v to_o he_o in_o myself_o but_o in_o the_o merit_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o thou_o offer_v christ_n can_v reject_v he_o but_o say_v he_o to_o he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o will_v receive_v you_o if_o they_o do_v but_o come_v he_o can_v but_o receive_v they_o else_o he_o shall_v be_v unfaithful_a in_o his_o office_n and_o in_o his_o promise_n but_o he_o be_v faithful_a in_o both_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o be_v a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n and_o so_o will_v pity_v they_o that_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o if_o you_o have_v many_o sin_n daily_o renew_v many_o infirmity_n and_o imperfection_n why_o it_o be_v christ_n office_n to_o renew_v the_o sacrifice_n daily_o he_o offer_v up_o a_o daily_a sacrifice_n for_o we_o even_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o as_o he_o do_v this_o for_o justification_n so_o for_o sanctification_n also_o when_o sacrifice_n be_v lay_v on_o

the_o altar_n the_o priest_n can_v not_o bring_v fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v it_o but_o god_n send_v it_o and_o so_o show_v that_o it_o be_v accept_v we_o may_v lay_v the_o wood_n together_o but_o can_v bring_v fire_n from_o heaven_n but_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o a_o high_a order_n than_o be_v aaron_n he_o will_v kindle_v this_o fire_n of_o sanctification_n and_o increase_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o still_o burn_a it_o be_v his_o office_n so_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o doubt_v not_o but_o christ_n will_v receive_v you_o oh_o but_o this_o be_v some_o comfort_n if_o i_o have_v assurance_n objection_n that_o i_o have_v but_o one_o spark_n of_o true_a grace_n in_o i_o therefore_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v 5_o sign_n sign_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o text_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v come_v to_o know_v this_o first_o in_o these_o word_n he_o will_v bring_v forth_o judgement_n 1._o into_o victory_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o

when_o the_o apostle_n pray_v that_o the_o philippian_n may_v abound_v in_o knowledge_n and_o in_o all_o judgement_n that_o be_v that_o they_o may_v discern_v of_o thing_n that_o differ_v and_o he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v right_a else_o he_o will_v not_o pray_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o it_o so_o that_o when_o a_o man_n can_v discern_v of_o thing_n that_o differ_v when_o

of_o the_o eye_n or_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n but_o judge_v righteous_o for_o there_o be_v a_o two_o fold_v judgeing_a first_o when_o our_o eye_n or_o ear_n judge_n and_o we_o judge_v according_a to_o that_o when_o we_o send_v out_o our_o spirit_n and_o hear_v what_o they_o report_v and_o this_o be_v ready_a to_o bring_v in_o a_o false_a report_n to_o say_v that_o sin_n be_v
