8._o 56_o 2._o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v that_o ●here_o be_v six_o witness_n that_o give_v ●ight_a and_o evidence_n unto_o our_o spiritual_a life_n in_o christ_n of_o which_o three_o ●e_n in_o

unless_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n himself_o do_v bear_v witness_n in_o they_o therefore_o john_n give_v sanctification_n for_o a_o evidence_n of_o a_o good_a estate_n to_o such_o as_o already_o

therefore_o that_o such_o promise_n may_v be_v of_o grace_n they_o be_v make_v to_o we_o not_o as_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o such_o and_o such_o condition_n but_o as_o we_o who_o have_v such_o and_o

to_o we_o in_o christ_n whereupon_o we_o look_v for_o the_o blessing_n not_o in_o our_o gift_n and_o duty_n but_o in_o go_v still_o unto_o christ_n for_o a_o clear_a and_o full_a manifestation_n of_o he_o to_o we_o and_o of_o comfort_n in_o he_o as_o for_o example_n a_o thirsty_a soul_n to_o who_o promise_n be_v make_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v he_o look_v not_o present_o to_o be_v

39_o 2._o no_o man_n can_v see_v his_o gift_n and_o duty_n of_o sanctification_n in_o himself_o but_o he_o must_v first_o have_v see_v christ_n by_o faith_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n enlighten_v his_o understanding_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o as_o in_o case_n of_o mourning_n to_o which_o many_o promise_n be_v make_v no_o man_n can_v with_o evangelicall_n repentance_n mourn_v over_o christ_n and_o for_o himself_o until_o the_o spirit_n work_v faith_n and_o by_o faith_n behold_v christ_n he_o have_v see_v he_o crucify_v and_o by_o he_o zech._n 12._o 10._o so_o then_o these_o

our_o sight_n of_o christ_n and_o some_o glympse_n of_o light_n and_o comfort_n from_o he_o do_v beget_v such_o condition_n in_o we_o 3._o such_o conditional_a promise_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a though_o poor_a droop_a soul_n have_v find_v no_o comfort_n by_o they_o and_o though_o they_o can_v suck_v present_a comfort_n from_o they_o and_o from_o their_o good_a condition_n according_o to_o they_o 1._o because_o these_o promise_n be_v discern_v in_o a_o covenant_n of_o freegrace_n make_v in_o christ_n by_o they_o do_v work_n if_o they_o be_v not_o wrought_v before_o or_o at_o least_o

59_o 20._o the_o apostle_n expound_v it_o that_o christ_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o zion_n and_o shall_v turn_v away_o transgression_n from_o jacob_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v

according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n rom._n 11._o 26_o 27._o 2._o the_o promise_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a to_o such_o soul_n in_o who_o such_o good_a condition_n be_v wrought_v because_o they_o direct_v they_o where_o they_o may_v find_v comfort_n and_o satisfy_v to_o their_o heart_n desire_v to_o wit_n not_o by_o clear_v their_o good_a condition_n in_o themselves_o but_o by_o come_v
