fire_n therefore_o if_o we_o do_v but_o a_o little_a consider_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o fire_n we_o shall_v a_o great_a deal_n better_a judge_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o among_o other_o these_o property_n we_o find_v to_o be_v in_o the_o fire_n first_o of_o all_o it_o will_v burn_v up_o and_o consume_v thing_n that_o may_v b●_n burn_v and_o consume_v and_o therefore_o light_v upon_o shawe_n stubble_n stick_n or_o such_o like_a it_o bring_v they_o to_o ash_n and_o do_v make_v they_o as_o though_o they_o have_v not_o be_v at_o all_o second_o it_o do_v purge_v and_o purify_v those_o thing_n that_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v purge_v and_o this_o it_o do_v first_o by_o take_v away_o the_o superfluity_n of_o dross_n that_o have_v over_o cover_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v purge_v then_o by_o fyne_a the_o thing_n itself_o and_o by_o make_v it_o pure_a and_o pure_a three_o it_o give_v light_a even_o in_o the_o most_o dim_a &_o dark_a place_n and_o last_o of_o all_o it_o give_v heat_n and_o with_o all_o do_v as_o it_o be_v put_v life_n into_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v capable_a of_o life_n for_o while_o a_o man_n be_v freeze_v and_o starve_a for_o cold_a he_o be_v numbde_v and_o as_o it_o be_v without_o life_n but_o be_v broughtto_n the_o fire_n he_o be_v h●tt_n he_o be_v reviue_v he_o be_v cheer_v and_o then_o become_v active_a &_o nimble_a these_o be_v the_o property_n of_o fire_n and_o these_o do_v in_o some_o manner_n sort_n resemble_v and_o shadow_v out_o unto_o we_o the_o work_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o first_o of_o all_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n seize_v upon_o a_o man_n and_o enter_v into_o his_o soul_n than_o it_o begin_v to_o burn_v to_o waste_v and_o consume_v in_o he_o those_o thing_n that_o will_v be_v waste_v after_o this_o sort_n evil_a affection_n noisome_a lust_n &_o other_o stubble_n which_o be_v in_o man_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v consume_v and_o burn_v second_o it_o do_v purge_v we_o from_o gross_a sin_n and_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o do_v purify_v we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v a_o clean_a and_o holy_a vessel_n and_o temple_n for_o he_o to_o rest_n and_o dwell_v in_o three_o it_o be_v a_o shine_a lamp_n ever_o burn_v and_o continual_o give_v light_n unto_o we_o in_o that_o way_n which_o we_o have_v to_o walk_v and_o last_o it_o do_v set_v we_o on_o heat_n and_o inflame_v we_o with_o a_o zeal_n of_o god_n glory_n with_o a_o care_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o with_o a_o love_n of_o all_o mankind_n yea_o withal_o it_o put_v life_n and_o lust_n into_o we_o to_o walk_v in_o that_o good_a way_n which_o it_o do_v lead_v we_o and_o to_o do_v all_o those_o good_a work_n which_o may_v glorify_v god_n or_o be_v commodious_a unto_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o likelihood_n there_o be_v between_o the_o spirit_n and_o fire_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v compare_v unto_o fire_n nay_o it_o be_v sometime_o call_v fire_n for_o john_n say_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n shall_v baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o fire_n therefore_o as_o true_o and_o as_o certain_o as_o we_o may_v say_v that_o there_o be_v fire_n where_o we_o see_v straw_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n consume_v or_o gold_n and_o silver_n fine_o purge_v or_o great_a light_n in_o dark_a place_n or_o great_a heat_n in_o body_n that_o be_v numb_a before_n even_o so_o true_o we_o may_v say_v and_o so_o certain_o we_o may_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o we_o when_o we_o see_v our_o coruption_n consume_v our_o soul_n purge_v from_o the_o dross_n of_o sin_n our_o heart_n enlighten_v and_o make_v hot_a in_o walk_v and_o work_v according_a to_o that_o light_n the_o second_o question_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v question_n whether_o that_o man_n which_o have_v once_o taste_v of_o the_o spirit_n may_v loose_v it_o and_o have_v it_o quench_v in_o he_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n come_v to_o and_o work_v in_o diverse_a man_n diverselie_o in_o diverse_a measure_n therefore_o we_o must_v consider_v of_o the_o diverse_a work_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o frame_v our_o answer_n according_o first_o then_o there_o be_v a_o light_a and_o lesser_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o may_v be_v quench_v in_o they_o that_o have_v it_o and_o that_o this_o inferior_a or_o lesser_a kind_n of_o work_v may_v be_v take_v away_o appear_v plainelye_o by_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o seed_n which_o our_o savioure_n christ_n propound_v for_o there_o beside_o they_o that_o receive_v the_o word_n into_o good_a ground_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n some_o a_o hundred_o some_o thirty_o some_o sixty_o fold_n he_o do_v also_o make_v mention_n of_o some_o other_o that_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o yet_o continue_v not_o and_o what_o have_v not_o these_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o they_o yes_o doubtless_o for_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n yea_o they_o receive_v it_o glad_o &_o that_o which_o be_v more_o they_o believe_v that_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v behold_v then_o three_o fruit_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o these_o man_n and_o yet_o they_o continue_v not_o for_o they_o believe_v indeed_o but_o their_o faith_n be_v temporary_a it_o last_v but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o after_o a_o time_n it_o vanish_v away_o and_o the_o spirit_n depart_v from_o they_o for_o either_o the_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n of_o this_o life_n do_v draw_v out_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o dry_v they_o up_o or_o else_o the_o fiery_a heat_n of_o persecution_n do_v quite_o consume_v they_o more_o plain_a and_o notable_a for_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o in_o the_o sixth_o to_o the_o hebrew_n for_o there_o the_o apostle_n faith_n that_o some_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o thereby_o be_v make_v to_o taste_v of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v enlighten_v to_o receive_v heavenly_a gift_n yea_o and_o to_o taste_v of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o what_o then_o sure_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o if_o such_o fall_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v renew_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o even_o they_o which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o have_v be_v enlighten_v that_o have_v receive_v heavenly_a gift_n &_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v even_o such_o may_v fall_v away_o and_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v quench_v in_o such_o there_o be_v a_o second_o kind_n of_o work_v of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v a_o more_o thorough_a and_o effectual_a work_n which_o can_v never_o be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o that_o have_v receive_v it_o this_o the_o apostle_n peter_n describe_v when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o choose_a of_o god_n be_v beget_v again_o of_o the_o immortal_a seed_n of_o the_o word_n this_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a receive_n or_o a_o light_n taste_v of_o the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v a_o deep_a taste_n of_o the_o same_o whereby_o we_o be_v beget_v and_o bear_v again_o the_o apostle_n john_n set_v down_o a_o other_o note_n of_o it_o say_v that_o they_o that_o be_v thus_o bear_v again_o can_v sin_v that_o be_v they_o can_v make_v a_o occupation_n of_o sin_n they_o cannot_v fall_v flat_a away_o by_o sin_n and_o why_o even_o because_o the_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n abide_v in_o they_o even_o that_o seed_n wherewith_o they_o be_v beget_v to_o a_o lively_a hope_n of_o life_n even_o that_o seed_n do_v abide_v and_o will_v abide_v unto_o the_o end_n who_o so_o be_v beget_v again_o by_o this_o seed_n and_o have_v this_o seed_n abide_v in_o he_o the_o spirit_n have_v wrought_v that_o in_o he_o which_o shall_v not_o be_v take_v from_o he_o and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v be_v spirit_n and_o life_n and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n he_o say_v that_o none_o shall_v take_v his_o sheep_n from_o he_o for_o the_o father_n be_v mighty_a than_o all_o and_o therefore_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o elect_v shall_v be_v seduce_v thus_o than_o we_o see_v the_o question_n be_v answer_v namely_o that_o there_o be_v a_o inferior_a work_n which_o may_v be_v lose_v and_o a_o more_o effectual_a work_v of_o the_o spirit_n which_o can_v never_o be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o that_o have_v it_o and_o this_o must_v not_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o neither_o must_v we_o be_v offend_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v some_o and_o leave_v other_o or_o that_o he_o shall_v begin_v in_o some_o and_o not_o bring_v his_o
