mean_n whereby_o christ_n may_v be_v put_v on_o 2_o 2_o be_v this_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v once_o make_v naked_a than_o faith_n take_v the_o robe_n this_o glorious_a robe_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o bring_v it_o home_o to_o the_o heart_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o only_o a_o hand_n that_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n for_o justification_n but_o it_o be_v a_o shield_n also_o that_o receive_v virtue_n from_o christ_n for_o our_o far_a sanctification_n christ_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o conduit_n which_o convey_v grace_n from_o christ_n to_o the_o soul_n christ_n how_o faith_n put_v on_o christ_n now_o faith_n help_v we_o in_o these_o three_o particular_a action_n first_o 1_o 1_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o close_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n in_o every_o promise_n of_o god_n there_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n true_o and_o constant_o accompany_v the_o same_o my_o word_n and_o my_o spirit_n both_o go_v together_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v be_v spirit_n and_o life_n now_o when_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a can_v close_v with_o the_o promise_n it_o close_v also_o with_o the_o grace_n in_o the_o promise_n they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v one_o spirit_n with_o he_o 8.10_o rom._n 8.10_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o the_o body_n be_v dead_a because_o of_o sin_n but_o 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 christ_n which_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o that_o it_o may_v be_v wrought_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o if_o a_o man_n want_v patience_n or_o love_n wisdom_n humility_n or_o the_o like_a faith_n 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 all_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n 1.16_o joh._n 1.16_o that_o be_v whatsoever_o grace_n be_v in_o christ_n we_o do_v receive_v the_o same_o from_o he_o as_o he_o be_v patient_a he_o make_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 the_o wax_n faith_n look_v at_o all_o the_o particular_a grace_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o the_o same_o power_n that_o be_v in_o the_o head_n be_v also_o in_o the_o ear_n and_o eye_n and_o hand_n so_o the_o same_o holy_a ghost_n which_o wrought_v grace_n in_o the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n work_v patience_n in_o adversity_n and_o courage_n to_o bear_v persecution_n and_o in_o ignorance_n it_o enlighten_v a_o man_n eye_n and_o make_v he_o look_v to_o heaven_n that_o be_v a_o notable_a place_n 2_o cor._n 3._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v 3.18_o 2_o cor._n 3.18_o we_o all_o behold_v as_o in_o a_o mirror_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o open_a face_n and_o be_v change_v into_o the_o same_o image_n from_o glory_n to_o glory_n as_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o glorious_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o behold_v it_o be_v when_o we_o see_v the_o glorious_a grace_n give_v to_o christ_n and_o again_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o make_v christ_n meek_a and_o wise_a and_o holy_a the_o same_o spirit_n make_v we_o poor_a in_o spirit_n and_o meeke-hearted_n like_v to_o he_o therefore_o look_v not_o only_o on_o christ_n for_o grace_n in_o general_a but_o for_o particular_a strength_n and_o assistance_n in_o every_o performance_n 3._o the_o last_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v 3_o 3_o it_o not_o only_o close_v with_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o same_o it_o not_o only_o look_n at_o that_o particular_a grace_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o faith_n draw_v virtue_n from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o so_o grace_n may_v be_v imprint_v in_o and_o convey_v into_o the_o soul_n therefore_o say_v the_o prophet_n with_o joy_n shall_v you_o draw_v water_n from_o the_o well_o of_o salvation_n 12.3_o esay_n 12.3_o he_o do_v not_o only_o say_v there_o be_v water_n therein_o but_o we_o may_v draw_v water_n from_o thence_o and_o faith_n do_v it_o thus_o when_o a_o sinner_n with_o full_a persuasion_n settle_v himself_o with_o what_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o good_a thereof_o as_o in_o ezech._n 36._o a_o new_a heart_n will_v i_o give_v you_o 27._o ezech._n 36.26_o 27._o and_o i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n into_o your_o heart_n and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o way_n he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v grace_n but_o quicken_v that_o grace_n and_o cause_n man_n to_o walk_v holy_o and_o sweet_o nay_o further_o if_o faith_n find_v the_o heart_n deject_v and_o unfit_a to_o pray_v see_v how_o it_o gripe_n and_o lay_n hold_v on_o the_o promise_n say_v lord_n i_o find_v my_o soul_n dead_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n and_o marvellous_a untoward_a and_o awke_n to_o a_o holy_a life_n lord_n thou_o have_v say_v thou_o will_v cause_v thy_o people_n to_o walk_v bold_o in_o thy_o way_n oh_o give_v i_o courage_n and_o life_n and_o quicken_a as_o that_o poor_a woman_n by_o touch_v the_o hem_v of_o christ_n garment_n draw_v virtue_n from_o he_o so_o faith_n lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o hem_n of_o christ_n garment_n and_o gain_v refreshment_n 3._o the_o three_o and_o last_o mean_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n 3_o 3_o be_v this_o have_v thus_o deny_v ourselves_o our_o own_o lust_n and_o sufficiency_n and_o have_v close_v with_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o same_o the_o last_o mean_n be_v meditation_n that_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n turn_v itself_o whole_o to_o that_o grace_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n it_o pore_n not_o altogether_o upon_o sin_n and_o corruption_n for_o than_o you_o go_v of_o from_o christ_n this_o meditation_n keep_v the_o soul_n upon_o the_o stream_n as_o faith_n cast_v it_o upon_o the_o stream_n as_o the_o branch_n can_v bring_v forth_o any_o fruit_n 15.4_o joh._n 15.4_o except_o it_o abide_v in_o the_o vine_n no_o more_o can_v you_o except_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o now_o we_o abide_v in_o christ_n when_o the_o eye_n be_v set_v upon_o christ_n when_o the_o tongue_n talk_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o mind_n muse_v of_o he_o and_o the_o affection_n be_v settle_v towards_o he_o but_o when_o the_o mind_n be_v take_v off_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o comfort_n that_o be_v therein_o and_o whole_o puzzle_v itself_o by_o think_v of_o temptation_n or_o inward_a corruption_n than_o man_n be_v soon_o prevail_v against_o and_o overcome_v if_o the_o devil_n can_v pluck_v your_o mind_n from_o the_o promise_n and_o cast_v your_o thought_n whole_o upon_o your_o corruption_n he_o have_v enough_o suppose_v there_o be_v two_o fountain_n the_o one_o full_a of_o puddle_n water_n and_o the_o other_o full_a of_o clear_a water_n and_o there_o be_v two_o cock_n for_o these_o fountain_n if_o a_o man_n be_v always_o turn_v the_o cock_n that_o come_v from_o the_o puddle_n fountain_n can_v he_o look_v for_o any_o other_o than_o foul_a water_n so_o there_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o promise_n and_o there_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o corruption_n in_o ourselves_o and_o meditation_n be_v as_o the_o cock_n come_v from_o these_o now_o if_o we_o be_v ever_o meditate_v what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o we_o have_v and_o what_o we_o do_v and_o what_o we_o deserve_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o fear_n and_o horror_n and_o discouragement_n and_o the_o puddle_n water_n come_v amain_o the_o nature_n of_o meditation_n be_v excellent_a in_o this_o kind_n and_o it_o show_v itself_o in_o these_o three_o particular_n first_o hereby_o we_o bring_v christ_n and_o

go_v but_o now_o how_o will_v you_o help_v this_o man_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o himself_o again_o the_o only_o way_n be_v this_o we_o use_v to_o chafe_v his_o body_n and_o put_v in_o some_o aquavitae_n into_o his_o mouth_n and_o so_o at_o last_o he_o gather_v heat_n look_v up_o and_o speak_v and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o walk_v thus_o a_o weak_a body_n may_v be_v strong_a for_o a_o time_n just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o our_o old_a man_n which_o we_o have_v all_o in_o we_o suppose_v a_o man_n before_o his_o conversion_n be_v give_v to_o drunkenness_n or_o uncleanness_n and_o howsoever_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o draw_v he_o to_o himself_o &_o one_o will_v think_v he_o shall_v never_o be_v unclean_a or_o drink_v more_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o old_a man_n be_v not_o whole_o dead_a he_o be_v almost_o go_v away_o he_o lie_v even_o a_o die_a and_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n for_o that_o person_n if_o the_o old_a man_n be_v utter_o dead_a in_o he_o but_o woe_n unto_o we_o what_o pain_n do_v we_o daily_o take_v that_o this_o old_a man_n may_v live_v within_o we_o we_o chafe_v he_o and_o keep_v he_o warm_v we_o quicken_v up_o that_o curse_a disposition_n that_o be_v in_o we_o by_o meditation_n we_o stir_v up_o that_o wickedness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o bestow_v our_o mind_n upon_o it_o as_o the_o drunkard_n oft_o think_v of_o his_o wont_a dalliance_n how_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a they_o have_v be_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o he_o that_o have_v be_v a_o adulterer_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o old_a man_n begin_v to_o gather_v life_n again_o he_o stand_v up_o and_o walk_v in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o poor_a soul_n begin_v to_o fear_v and_o be_v force_v to_o say_v good_a lord_n be_v i_o ever_o true_o wrought_v upon_o be_v my_o heart_n ever_o thorough_o break_v for_o these_o sin_n alas_o brethren_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n you_o make_v too_o much_o of_o the_o old_a man_n you_o pour_v life_n into_o he_o and_o be_v still_o contrive_v for_o he_o and_o ever_o think_v how_o please_v this_o way_n these_o fleshly_a mean_n and_o sinful_a course_n be_v the_o ground_n be_v here_o you_o give_v strength_n and_o ability_n to_o corruption_n to_o prevail_v against_o you_o as_o it_o be_v with_o fire_n if_o a_o man_n have_v plenty_n of_o wood_n though_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a coal_n of_o fire_n every_o man_n will_v say_v that_o by_o blow_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a flame_n in_o the_o end_n so_o there_o be_v still_o a_o coal_n of_o corruption_n in_o we_o all_o there_o be_v a_o coal_n of_o pride_n and_o peevishness_n idleness_n and_o untowardness_n a_o curse_a body_n of_o death_n remain_v in_o the_o best_a of_o we_o &_o will_v be_v whilst_o we_o carry_v these_o house_n of_o clay_n about_o we_o but_o a_o man_n by_o meditation_n and_o consultation_n kindle_v this_o coal_n they_o bring_v the_o wood_n and_o blow_v up_o the_o fire_n and_o make_v a_o man_n fall_v in_o love_n with_o his_o part_n and_o his_o place_n and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o regard_v than_o he_o be_v all_o on_o a_o flame_n with_o anger_n and_o the_o fire_n burn_v abundant_o and_o then_o he_o cry_v out_o of_o his_o misery_n why_o do_v you_o blow_v the_o fire_n then_o when_o a_o enemy_n lie_v in_o the_o field_n to_o besiege_v a_o city_n if_o he_o have_v neither_o meat_n nor_o any_o munition_n he_o will_v not_o tarry_v long_o but_o if_o the_o people_n within_o send_v he_o provision_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o they_o be_v overthrow_v by_o he_o so_o this_o meditation_n make_v provision_n and_o consultation_n send_v it_o to_o the_o enemy_n the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v this_o as_o we_o add_v strength_n to_o our_o corruption_n so_o meditation_n be_v as_o a_o invitation_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o come_v and_o tempt_v we_o thereby_o we_o give_v money_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o subject_n ourselves_o and_o our_o soul_n to_o the_o power_n of_o temptation_n as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o must_v either_o be_v captivate_v or_o overtake_v by_o they_o when_o we_o conceive_v high_o of_o our_o own_o ability_n we_o wish_v pride_n to_o come_v and_o exalt_v we_o and_o consultation_n of_o the_o mean_n to_o accomplish_v our_o lust_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o set_v open_o the_o door_n for_o the_o devil_n to_o come_v and_o welcome_a look_v what_o ever_o the_o meditation_n be_v set_v upon_o the_o heart_n be_v under_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o that_o sin_n and_o look_v how_o far_o a_o man_n meditate_v on_o it_o so_o far_o it_o prevail_v with_o he_o and_o domineer_v over_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o pair_n of_o floodgate_n when_o they_o be_v set_v open_a it_o let_v in_o the_o stream_n amain_o that_o carry_v all_o before_o it_o so_o

oh_o think_v he_o if_o i_o have_v this_o hundred_o penny_n in_o my_o pocket_n i_o be_v make_v for_o ever_o therefore_o in_o another_o place_n the_o text_n say_v the_o devil_n enter_v into_o judas_n how_o be_v that_o the_o devil_n cast_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o judas_n to_o betray_v his_o master_n go_v thy_o way_n say_v he_o betray_v thy_o master_n and_o thou_o may_v have_v so_o much_o money_n
