secret_a of_o the_o heart_n and_o who_o can_v come_v to_o teach_v it_o there_o but_o only_o thou_o superficial_a and_o external_a wisdom_n be_v the_o gift_n ofttimes_o of_o nature_n sometime_o of_o art_n but_o this_o wisdom_n in_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o heart_n be_v only_a god_n advowson_n none_o can_v give_v it_o none_o bestow_v it_o but_o god_n himself_o and_o he_o alone_a wherefore_o o_o god_n though_o i_o have_v not_o hate_v that_o which_o thou_o hate_v the_o commit_n of_o sin_n yet_o see_v i_o have_v love_v that_o which_o thou_o love_v the_o truth_n of_o heart_n thou_o have_v teach_v i_o wisdom_n in_o the_o secret_a of_o my_o heart_n though_o thou_o do_v not_o give_v i_o the_o grace_n to_o prevent_v sin_n yet_o thou_o have_v teach_v i_o the_o wisdom_n to_o repent_v sin_n a_o wisdom_n which_o none_o can_v have_v unless_o he_o be_v teach_v and_o none_o can_v teach_v but_o only_o thyself_o a_o wisdom_n which_o can_v be_v have_v but_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o no_o where_o in_o the_o heart_n but_o in_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o heart_n a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o wisdom_n to_o see_v his_o sin_n by_o the_o outward_a eye_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o he_o may_v have_v the_o wisdom_n to_o understand_v his_o sin_n by_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o he_o can_v have_v the_o wisdom_n to_o repent_v his_o sin_n but_o only_o in_o the_o secret_a and_o innermost_a of_o his_o heart_n and_o we_o need_v not_o wonder_n that_o god_n only_o be_v the_o schoolmaster_n of_o this_o wisdom_n see_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a hide_v from_o carnal_a eye_n it_o be_v as_o hard_a a_o matter_n to_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o repentance_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o to_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a in_o the_o body_n both_o great_a secret_n but_o this_o perhaps_o the_o great_a as_o be_v indeed_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v wisdom_n of_o divers_a sort_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n the_o voluptuous_a man_n have_v a_o wisdom_n to_o accomplish_v his_o desire_n the_o worldly_a man_n have_v a_o wisdom_n to_o gather_v riches_n the_o politician_n have_v a_o wisdom_n to_o compass_v his_o end_n but_o all_o these_o wisdom_n be_v but_o float_v in_o the_o heart_n or_o rather_o but_o hover_v about_o the_o heart_n as_o the_o crow_n about_o the_o ark_n they_o enter_v not_o into_o the_o secret_a of_o it_o not_o bring_v into_o the_o heart_n as_o the_o dove_n into_o the_o ark_n the_o olive_n branch_n of_o peace_n for_o when_o the_o mind_n bethink_v itself_o and_o dive_v into_o its_o own_o bottom_n it_o find_v no_o place_n for_o these_o distend_v and_o swell_a wisdom_n which_o indeed_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o heart_n h●th_v not_o room_n enough_o to_o receive_v only_o the_o contract_a wisdom_n of_o humility_n and_o repentance_n can_v find_v harbour_n and_o entertainment_n there_o but_o though_o a_o little_a room_n will_v serve_v humility_n yet_o as_o little_a as_o it_o be_v it_o must_v be_v clean_o ●nd_v what_o one_o cleane●_n have_v i_o in_o my_o whole_a heart_n to_o give_v humility_n or_o repentance_n entertainment_n o_o therefore_o purge_v i_o with_o hyssop_n and_o i_o shall_v be_v clean_o wash_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v white_a 7._o than_o snow_n but_o do_v not_o the_o wash_n i_o have_v before_o make_v i_o clean_o and_o what_o need_v then_o of_o any_o more_o cleanse_v it_o seem_v that_o wash_v be_v but_o only_o for_o a_o preparative_n to_o purge_v to_o make_v it_o work_v the_o better_a at_o least_o it_o go_v not_o so_o far_o as_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o heart_n and_o see_v the_o foulness_n of_o my_o sin_n have_v pierce_v my_o heart_n to_o the_o very_a bottom_n no_o remedy_n now_o but_o i_o must_v be_v purge_v if_o i_o will_v be_v cleanse_v but_o do_v i_o well_o to_o prescribe_v to_o god_n with_o what_o he_o shall_v purge_v i_o as_o though_o i_o know_v all_o god_n medicine_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o which_o be_v worse_o i_o to_o prescribe_v and_o he_o to_o minister_v but_o excuse_v i_o o_o my_o soul_n it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o prescribe_v it_o to_o god_n it_o be_v god_n that_o prescribe_v it_o to_o i_o for_o hyssop_n be_v his_o own_o receipt_n and_o one_o of_o the_o ingredient_n prescribe_v by_o himself_o to_o make_v the_o water_n of_o separation_n for_o cure_v the_o leprosy_n but_o why_o then_o with_o hyssop_n and_o not_o with_o ellebor_n or_o scammony_n tather_n for_o how_o else_o happen_v it_o that_o god_n purge_v shall_v not_o work_v as_o he_o say_v himself_o i_o have_v purge_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v not_o purge_v but_o that_o he_o give_v purge_n of_o too_o weak_a operation_n for_o hyssop_n god_n know_v be_v but_o a_o weak_a purger_n it_o searce_o reach_v to_o amend_v the_o error_n of_o the_o first_o digestion_n and_o how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a it_o shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o purge_v away_o my_o sin_n which_o have_v taint_v my_o blood_n and_o be_v grow_v as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o my_o very_a substance_n but_o be_v it_o not_o that_o god_n arm_n be_v of_o a_o strange_a strength_n and_o can_v put_v force_n into_o the_o weak_a instrument_n and_o therefore_o can_v do_v more_o with_o hyssop_n than_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o can_v do_v with_o e●lebore_n but_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o great_a love_n or_o rather_o indulgence_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v never_o use_v ellebore_n where_o hyssop_n will_v serve_v never_o use_v roughness_n and_o severity_n where_o lenity_n &_o mildness_n may_v be_v effectual_a reserve_v then_o o_o god_n thy_o ellebour_n and_o thy_o scammony_n for_o more_o stubborn_a and_o reluctant_a humour_n `_o purge_v i_o with_o hyssop_n only_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v clean_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_v glad_a at_o heart_n when_o i_o first_o hear_v hyssop_n speak_v of_o to_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v purge_v so_o gentle_o and_o with_o a_o thing_n that_o may_v so_o easy_o be_v have_v for_o hyssop_n grow_v in_o every_o garden_n and_o then_o i_o think_v i_o may_v go_v fetch_v it_o thence_o and_o purge_v myself_o but_o now_o i_o perceive_v this_o be_v not_o the_o hyssop_n of_o which_o solomon_n write_v when_o he_o write_v from_o the_o cedar_n to_o the_o hyssop_n but_o this_o hyssop_n be_v rather_o the_o herb_n grace_n which_o never_o grow_v in_o garden_n but_o in_o that_o of_o paradise_n and_o which_o none_o can_v fetch_v thence_o unless_o god_n himself_o deliver_v it_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o hyssop_n be_v sometime_o a_o cedar_n the_o high_a of_o all_o tree_n become_v the_o low_a of_o all_o shrub_n only_o to_o be_v make_v this_o hyssop_n for_o we_o for_o christ_n indeed_o be_v the_o true_a hyssop_n and_o his_o blood_n the_o juice_n of_o hyssop_n that_o only_o can_v purge_v away_o my_o sin_n that_o i_o need_v not_o now_o fear_v the_o weakness_n of_o god_n purge_v see_v this_o hyssop_n far_o exceed_v not_o only_a ellebore_n and_o scammony_n but_o all_o the_o strong_a drug_n that_o ever_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o purge_v i_o then_o o_o god_n with_o this_o true_a hyssop_n and_o i_o shall_v 20._o be_v true_o clean_a wash_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v white_a than_o snow_n but_o how_o be_v this_o possible_a all_o the_o dyer_n upon_o earth_n can_v die_v a_o red_a into_o a_o white_a and_o how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o my_o sin_n which_o be_v as_o red_a as_o scarle●_n shall_v ever_o be_v make_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n indeed_o such_o retrogradation_n be_v no_o work_n of_o humane_a art_n it_o must_v be_v only_o his_o do_n who_o bring_v the_o sun_n ten_o degree_n back_o in_o the_o dial_n of_o ahaz_n for_o god_n have_v a_o nitre_n of_o grace_n that_o can_v bring_v not_o only_o the_o redness_n of_o scarlet_a sin_n but_o even_o the_o blackness_n of_o deadly_a sin_n into_o its_o native_a purity_n and_o whiteness_n again_o but_o say_v it_o be_v possible_a yet_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o so_o great_a a_o whiteness_n as_o to_o be_v white_a than_o snow_n see_v snow_n be_v not_o as_o paries_fw-la dealbatus_fw-la a_o pained_a wall_n white_a without_o and_o foul_a within_o but_o it_o be_v white_a

will_v not_o serve_v for_o i_o may_v be_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n and_o yet_o continue_v a_o leper_n still_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o gehezi_n that_o he_o go_v out_o from_o elisha_n a_o leper_n as_o
