there_o be_v much_o deprave_a and_o detraction_n in_o the_o world_n and_o thereupon_o brawl_n and_o breach_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n a_o spirit_n of_o envy_n and_o oft_o time_n a_o spirit_n of_o

grieve_v so_o holy_a a_o spirit_n these_o truth_n be_v presuppose_v first_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o in_o we_o personal_o as_o the_o second_o person_n be_v in_o christ_n man_n we_o for_o then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o shall_v make_v one_o person_n nor_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o we_o essential_o only_a for_o so_o he_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n nor_o yet_o be_v in_o we_o only_o by_o stir_v up_o holy_a motion_n but_o he_o be_v in_o we_o mystical_o and_o as_o temple_n dedicate_v to_o himself_o christ_n humane_a nature_n be_v the_o first_o temple_n wherein_o the_o spirit_n dwell_v and_o then_o we_o become_v temple_n by_o union_n with_o he_o we_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o his_o be_v in_o christ_n &_o we_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o christ_n in_o a_o full_a measure_n by_o reason_n that_o as_o a_o head_n he_o be_v to_o convey_v spirit_n into_o all_o his_o member_n second_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o christ_n entire_o without_o any_o thing_n to_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n always_o find_v something_o in_o we_o that_o be_v not_o his_o own_o but_o ready_a to_o cross_v he_o three_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o we_o derivative_o from_o christ_n as_o a_o fountain_n we_o receive_v grace_n at_o second_o hand_n answerable_a to_o grace_v in_o he_o innocency_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n immediate_o but_o now_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n first_o and_o then_o for_o christ_n in_o we_o as_o member_n of_o that_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n &_o it_o be_v well_o for_o we_o that_o he_o dwell_v first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o for_o from_o this_o it_o be_v that_o his_o communion_n with_o we_o be_v inseparable_a as_o it_o be_v from_o christ_n himself_o with_o who_o the_o spirit_n make_v we_o one_o the_o holy_a spirit_n dwell_v in_o those_o that_o be_v christ_n after_o another_o manner_n then_o in_o other_o in_o who_o he_o be_v in_o man_n in_o some_o sort_n by_o common_a gift_n but_o in_o his_o own_o he_o be_v in_o they_o as_o holy_a and_o as_o make_v they_o holy_a as_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n in_o regard_n of_o divers_a operation_n but_o in_o the_o head_n only_o as_o it_o understand_v and_o from_o thence_o rule_v the_o whole_a body_n so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o more_o noble_a operation_n and_o his_o person_n be_v together_o with_o his_o work_n though_o not_o personal_o and_o though_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o the_o soul_n especial_o and_o in_o the_o soul_n the_o very_a spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n as_o most_o suitable_a to_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n whence_o the_o apostle_n wish_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v with_o our_o spirit_n the_o best_a of_o spirit_n delight_v most_o in_o the_o best_a of_o we_o which_o be_v our_o spirit_n in_o the_o temple_n the_o further_o they_o go_v all_o be_v more_o holy_a till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a of_o holy_a so_o in_o a_o christian_a the_o most_o inward_a part_v the_o spirit_n be_v come_v as_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a of_o holies_n where_o incense_n be_v offer_v to_o god_n continual_o what_o a_o mercy_n be_v this_o that_o he_o that_o have_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n to_o dwell_v in_o will_v make_v a_o dungeon_n to_o be_v a_o temple_n a_o prison_n to_o be_v a_o paradise_n yea_o a_o hell_n to_o be_v a_o heaven_n next_o to_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n in_o take_v our_o nature_n and_o dwell_v in_o it_o we_o may_v wonder_v at_o the_o love_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o will_v take_v up_o his_o residence_n in_o such_o defile_a soul_n the_o second_o thing_n presuppose_v be_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v in_o we_o after_o he_o have_v prepare_v we_o for_o a_o house_n for_o himself_o to_o dwell_v in_o comforter_n and_o to_o take_v up_o his_o rest_n and_o delight_n in_o he_o do_v also_o become_v unto_o we_o a_o counsellor_n in_o all_o our_o doubt_n a_o comforter_n in_o all_o distress_n a_o solicitor_n to_o all_o duty_n a_o guide_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n until_o we_o dwell_v with_o he_o for_o ever_o in_o heaven_n unto_o which_o his_o dwell_n here_o in_o we_o do_v tend_v he_o go_v before_o we_o as_o christ_n do_v in_o the_o pillar_n of_o the_o cloud_n and_o fire_n before_o the_o israelite_n into_o canaan_n be_v a_o defence_n by_o day_n and_o a_o direction_n by_o night_n when_o we_o sin_n what_o do_v we_o else_o but_o grieve_v this_o guide_n spirit_n the_o three_o ground_n be_v that_o we_o the_o best_a of_o we_o be_v prone_a to_o grieve_v this_o holy_a spirit_n what_o use_n be_v there_o else_o of_o this_o caveat_n we_o carry_v too_o good_a a_o proof_n of_o this_o in_o our_o own_o heart_n we_o have_v that_o which_o be_v enmity_n to_o the_o spirit_n within_o we_o sin_n and_o a_o adversary_n to_o the_o spirit_n &_o we_o satan_n these_o join_v together_o and_o have_v intelligence_n and_o hold_v correspondency_n one_o with_o another_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o that_o which_o grieve_v this_o good_a spirit_n the_o four_o thing_n presuppose_v it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o by_o christian_a care_n and_o circumspection_n so_o to_o walk_v in_o a_o even_a and_o please_a course_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o grievous_o offend_v the_o spirit_n or_o grieve_v our_o own_o spirit_n we_o may_v avoid_v many_o lash_n and_o blow_n and_o many_o a_o heavy_a day_n which_o we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o for_o and_o god_n delight_v in_o the_o prosperity_n of_o his_o child_n and_o will_v have_v we_o walk_v in_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v grieve_v when_o we_o grieve_v he_o that_o then_o he_o must_v grieve_v we_o to_o prevent_v worse_a grief_n the_o due_a and_o proper_a act_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o this_o life_n be_v to_o please_v christ_n and_o to_o be_v comfortable_a in_o himself_o and_o so_o to_o be_v fit_v for_o all_o service_n these_o thing_n premise_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o conceive_v the_o equity_n of_o the_o apostle_n dissuasive_a from_o grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o the_o better_a unfolding_n of_o which_o we_o will_v unfold_v these_o four_o point_n first_o observe_v what_o it_o be_v to_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n second_o be_v wherein_o we_o special_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n three_o how_o we_o may_v know_v when_o we_o have_v grieve_v the_o spirit_n four_o what_o course_n we_o shall_v take_v to_o prevent_v this_o grief_n for_o the_o first_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v proper_o be_v grieve_v in_o his_o own_o person_n spirit_n because_o grief_n imply_v a_o defect_n of_o happiness_n in_o suffer_v that_o we_o wish_v remove_v it_o imply_v a_o defect_n in_o foresight_n to_o prevent_v that_o which_o may_v grieve_v it_o imply_v passion_n which_o be_v soon_o raise_v up_o and_o soon_o lay_v down_o god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o change_v it_o imply_v some_o want_n of_o power_n to_o remove_v that_o which_o we_o feel_v to_o be_v a_o grievance_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o beseem_v the_o majesty_n of_o the_o spirit_n thus_o to_o be_v grieve_v we_o must_v therefore_o conceive_v of_o it_o as_o befit_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n remove_v in_o our_o thought_n ●ll_a imperfection_n how_o first_o then_o we_o be_v say_v to_o grieve_v god_n when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o be_v apt_a of_o itself_o to_o grieve_v as_o we_o be_v say_v to_o destroy_v our_o weak_a brother_n when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o he_o take_v offence_n at_o be_v apt_a to_o mislead_v he_o and_o so_o to_o destroy_v he_o second_o we_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n when_o we_o do_v that_o whereupon_o the_o spirit_n do_v that_o which_o grieve_a person_n do_v that_o be_v retire_v and_o show_v dislike_v and_o return_v grief_n again_o three_o though_o the_o passion_n of_o grief_n be_v not_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o there_o be_v in_o his_o holy_a nature_n a_o pure_a displicence_n and_o hatred_n of_o sin_n with_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o abomination_n as_o though_o it_o tend_v not_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o offender_n yet_o to_o sharp_a correction_n so_o that_o grief_n be_v eminent_o in_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o become_v he_o four_o we_o we_o may_v conceive_v of_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o in_o heaven_n and_o as_o he_o dwell_v and_o work_v in_o we_o as_o we_o may_v conceive_v of_o god_n the_o father_n as_o hide_a in_o himself_o and_o as_o reveal_v in_o his_o son_n and_o in_o his_o word_n and_o as_o we_o may_v conceive_v of_o christ_n as_o the_o second_o person_n &_o as_o incarnate_a so_o likewise_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o in_o himself_o and_o as_o in_o we_o god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n
