for_o instruction_n my_o belove_a in_o the_o lord_n look_v within_o you_o strengthen_v faith_n oh_o my_o beloved_n as_o the_o love_n of_o many_o wax_v cold_a so_o the_o faith_n of_o many_o wax_v

when_o your_o soul_n must_v immediare_o go_v to_o god_n for_o judgement_n nothing_o but_o faith_n will_v or_o can_v carry_v you_o with_o comfort_n or_o with_o confidence_n against_o a_o die_a hour_n prepare_v a_o live_a christ_n and_o in_o order_n to_o a_o cloze_a with_o christ_n strengthen_v oh_o strengthen_v your_o faith_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o direction_n if_o you_o will_v have_v faith_n carry_v you_o through_o all_o etc._n etc._n first_o leave_v faith_n to_o itself_o let_v faith_n alone_o i'faith_o alone_o must_v do_v it_o and_o faith_n alone_o can_v do_v it_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o god_n clear_v up_o the_o thing_n to_o i_o you_o have_v see_v a_o brave_a workman_n that_o be_v to_o remove_v such_o a_o piece_n of_o timber_n and_o he_o by_o his_o own_o skill_n can_v remove_v it_o but_o there_o be_v some_o that_o stand_v by_o and_o will_v be_v help_v when_o as_o we_o know_v that_o they_o do_v but_o hinder_v he_o and_o say_v the_o artist_n let_v i_o alone_o and_o i_o can_v do_v it_o myself_o and_o we_o use_v to_o say_v let_v the_o man_n alone_o you_o do_v but_o hinder_v he_o he_o will_v do_v it_o himself_o so_o here_o let_v faith_n alone_o in_o its_o work_n you_o think_v to_o help_v it_o but_o you_o oft_o hinder_v it_o you_o have_v see_v or_o hear_v it_o may_v be_v of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v to_o go_v over_o a_o river_n and_o have_v two_o friend_n with_o he_o one_o say_v it_o be_v deep_a and_o dangerous_a i_o will_v go_v and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o shallow_a place_n the_o other_o faith_n it_o be_v good_a to_o make_v a_o bridge_n or_o boat_n to_o go_v over_o oh_o but_o say_v the_o man_n i_o can_v swim_v and_o i_o must_v go_v and_o i_o will_v venture_v let_v i_o alone_o i_o will_v swim_v and_o never_o look_v for_o bridge_n or_o boat_n true_o so_o it_o be_v here_o i'faith_o will_v go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o reason_n and_o sense_n will_v not_o let_v faith_n alone_o reason_n come_v and_o say_v be_v wise_a beware_v what_o you_o do_v if_o you_o will_v needs_o go_v to_o christ_n say_v reason_n i_o will_v go_v make_v a_o bridge_n or_o invent_v a_o boat_n then_o come_v sense_n and_o say_v i_o will_v go_v look_v a_o shallow_a place_n where_o you_o may_v go_v over_o etc._n etc._n whereas_o faith_n will_v swim_v through_o and_o say_v the_o believe_a soul_n i_o must_v venture_v and_o swim_v i_o can_v be_v drown_v in_o a_o way_n of_o swim_v oh_o sir_n let_v faith_n alone_o and_o it_o will_v swim_v to_o christ_n sense_n and_o reason_n do_v but_o hinder_v not_o help_v faith_n single_a simple_a faith_n do_v its_o work_n alone_o therefore_o i_o say_v let_v faith_n alone_o do_v not_o trouble_v

by_o god_n my_o belove_a faith_n do_v therefore_o carry_v we_o out_o through_o all_o because_o it_o be_v that_o grace_n that_o god_n alone_o have_v appoint_v read_v the_o gospel_n or_o the_o prophet_n and_o you_o will_v find_v they_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o great_a truth_n first_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a one_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o salvation_n there_o be_v no_o name_n but_o he_o act._n 4.12_o second_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a grace_n appoint_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n you_o have_v our_o lord_n short_o in_o one_o place_n speak_v of_o both_o in_o john_n 6.40_o and_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o divine_n why_o faith_n rather_o than_o charity_n patience_n or_o gospel-obed●ence_a shall_v be_v the_o great_a instrument_n of_o justification_n and_o my_o beloved_n this_o be_v the_o absolute_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n because_o god_n have_v only_o appoint_v it_o there_o may_v be_v some_o conjectural_a reason_n why_o god_n have_v appoint_v faith_n but_o the_o chief_a reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o now_o divine_a institution_n be_v upon_o faith_n thence_o it_o be_v that_o faith_n do_v the_o work_n it_o be_v not_o from_o any_o inherent_a worth_n in_o the_o grace_n alas_o what_o be_v the_o worth_n of_o a_o sinner_n hand_n to_o take_v a_o glorious_a christ_n but_o it_o be_v only_o from_o god_n pleasure_n and_o appointment_n that_o faith_n alone_o shall_v be_v the_o grace_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n to_o and_o help_v the_o soul_n in_o its_o receive_n of_o christ_n god_n have_v appoint_v no_o other_o leg_n to_o carry_v we_o and_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v these_o he_o will_v bless_v his_o own_o appointment_n to_o effect_v the_o work_n the_o lord_n appointment_n make_v all_o thing_n operative_a therefore_o second_o the_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o operation_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o appointment_n my_o belove_a faith_n it_o be_v a_o work_a grace_n and_o faith_n be_v our_o great_a strength_n in_o every_o work_a grace_n it_o convey_v strength_n unto_o all_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a operation_n of_o faith_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o its_o go_n to_o christ_n viz._n a_o enlighten_v a_o enliven_a and_o a_o embrace_v work_n in_o the_o bless_a business_n of_o close_v with_o christ_n i_o will_v a_o little_a open_v they_o all_o three_o first_o faith_n have_v a_o enlighten_v work_n a_o enlighten_v work_n be_v that_o which_o carry_v a_o man_n through_o many_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o psal_n 34._o you_o have_v a_o fine_a expression_n where_o david_n be_v speak_v of_o his_o and_o other_o seek_v god_n and_o of_o their_o

necessity_n of_o christ_n the_o inclinableness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n say_v faith_n look_v yonder_o there_o and_o there_o alone_o be_v the_o rock_n of_o safety_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o there_o you_o must_v sink_v this_o make_v the_o soul_n swim_v amain_o and_o look_v say_v faith_n there_o be_v a_o safe_a land_n christ_n say_v faith_n stand_v with_o outstretch_v arm_n of_o power_n and_o love_n to_o embrace_v thou_o and_o faith_n realize_v such_o a_o fight_n evidence_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o enable_v the_o soul_n to_o see_v it_o help_v the_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n second_o faith_n have_v not_o only_o a_o enlighten_v work_n but_o a_o inlve_a work_n my_o belove_a other_o grace_n stir_v we_o up_o and_o put_v we_o on_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o faith_n do_v only_o enliven_v we_o love_n and_o humility_n do_v marvellous_o stir_v up_o the_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o
