for_o holiness_n and_o least_o of_o all_o to_o come_v to_o christ_n &_o believe_v on_o he_o whereas_o only_a faith_n be_v the_o mean_n and_o all_o that_o god_n require_v for_o our_o obtain_n christ_n &_o salvation_n there_o be_v two_o snare_n which_o the_o devil_n set_v for_o people_n one_o be_v when_o they_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n and_o never_o look_v to_o be_v humble_v nor_o to_o

that_o one_o can_v believe_v &_o not_o hate_v all_o sin_n &_o study_v all_o holiness_n or_o that_o any_o one_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o heaven_n by_o christ_n and_o not_o to_o holiness_n first_o it_o be_v a_o good_a speech_n of_o francis_n spira_n lie_v in_o the_o distress_n of_o spirit_n i_o will_v not_o say_v he_o detract_v from_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n we_o be_v only_o save_v but_o yet_o take_v heed_n of_o rest_v on_o faith_n and_o neglect_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n faith_n require_v not_o that_o we_o be_v christian_n in_o word_n only_o believe_v i_o qouth_n he_o who_o have_v full_o try_v the_o matter_n and_o therefore_o he_o much_o commend_v to_o they_o the_o epistle_n of_o peter_n which_o press_v sanctity_n &_o chastity_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v good_a counsel_n and_o very_o useful_a against_o this_o snare_n by_o which_o satan_n entangle_v the_o most_o of_o people_n who_o rest_n in_o a_o conceit_n that_o they_o believe_v and_o never_o care_v for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n but_o the_o error_n of_o this_o have_v be_v open_v before_o there_o be_v a_o other_o error_n which_o be_v a_o second_o snare_n of_o satan_n viz_o to_o labour_v for_o humiliation_n mortification_n holiness_n &_o obedience_n and_o not_o to_o labour_v to_o believe_v this_o be_v the_o snare_n in_o which_o many_o well_o dispose_v people_n be_v catch_v and_o the_o error_n of_o it_o appear_v by_o this_o doctrine_n because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_v require_v by_o god_n for_o our_o obtain_n christ_n &_o salvation_n but_o only_a faith_n indeed_o some_o measure_n of_o humiliation_n must_v be_v have_v before_o we_o can_v believe_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o viz_o so_o much_o as_o may_v make_v one_o hunger_n after_o christ_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v he_o on_o any_o condition_n but_o when_o thus_o much_o be_v obtain_v which_o be_v when_o there_o be_v a_o serious_a labour_n after_o mortification_n and_o all_o obedience_n yet_o then_o to_o labour_v for_o more_o humiliation_n or_o holiness_n and_o not_o first_o &_o chief_o to_o labour_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o great_a error_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o get_v christ_n &_o salvation_n but_o faith_n so_o that_o all_o the_o other_o labour_n be_v in_o vain_a and_o for_o that_o which_o never_o can_v bring_v christ_n or_o salvation_n as_o if_o a_o man_n that_o desire_v to_o bring_v his_o dead_a friend_n to_o life_n shall_v only_o labour_v to_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o act_n of_o life_n as_o to_o speak_v walk_n etc._n etc._n and_o not_o to_o the_o only_a mean_n of_o life_n to_o have_v his_o soul_n join_v again_o to_o his_o body_n and_o that_o satan_n know_v and_o therefore_o putt_v they_o on_o it_o to_o make_v they_o spend_v time_n &_o pain_n to_o no_o purpose_n to_o such_o therefore_o i_o may_v say_v as_o elisha_n in_o a_o other_o case_n to_o the_o syrian_n 2._o king_n 6_o 19_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n you_o seek_v salvation_n and_o christ_n but_o by_o far_a measure_n of_o humiliation_n have_v enough_o already_o to_o make_v you_o willing_a or_o by_o holiness_n you_o can_v not_o get_v they_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n one_o thing_n that_o god_n require_v and_o that_o be_v to_o believe_v therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o martha_n in_o a_o other_o case_n luke_n 10._o 41._o 42._o you_o be_v careful_a about_o many_o thing_n but_o one_o thing_n be_v necessary_a viz_o to_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o to_o entertain_v he_o and_o give_v up_o yourselves_o to_o he_o in_o all_o his_o office_n do_v this_o and_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v when_o this_o be_v do_v then_o shall_v you_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v mortification_n and_o victory_n over_o your_o

the_o woman_n must_v be_v marry_v to_o the_o man_n before_o she_o can_v have_v lawful_a child_n by_o he_o and_o the_o science_n must_v be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o tree_n before_o it_o can_v bear_v

then_o as_o any_o one_o in_o reason_n know_v be_v christ_n come_v to_o take_v and_o receive_v when_o he_o be_v entertain_v as_o he_o be_v and_o as_o he_o be_v offer_v by_o god_n a_o king_n priest_n

imply_v a_o confidence_n or_o trust_n in_o he_o a_o rely_v on_o he_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v most_o true_a and_o therefore_o the_o phrase_n be_v extreordinary_a not_o to_o be_v find_v as_o some_o have_v observe_v in_o any_o writer_n but_o the_o scripture_n and_o such_o as_o take_v it_o from_o they_o other_o use_v only_o this_o phrase_n to_o believe_v a_o thing_n and_o not_o to_o believe_v in_o it_o or_o on_o it_o so_o that_o the_o phrase_n imply_v rely_v on_o it_o with_o a_o confidence_n &_o expectation_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o so_o i_o think_v that_o there_o never_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v a_o come_v to_o christ_n or_o receive_v he_o without_o a_o trust_n confidence_n or_o rely_v on_o he_o and_o the_o come_v to_o he_o or_o receive_v of_o he_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o for_o therefore_o they_o come_v to_o he_o &_o entertain_v he_o because_o they_o trust_v to_o be_v help_v by_o he_o but_o this_o may_v not_o always_o be_v evident_a as_o the_o cause_n be_v oft_o more_o obscure_a than_o the_o effect_n and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v entertain_v christ_n when_o he_o think_v he_o can_v rely_v on_o he_o &_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o double_a trust_v or_o

be_v the_o ground_n of_o come_v to_o he_o and_o entertain_v of_o he_o for_o if_o this_o be_v not_o people_z will_v never_o receive_v he_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o confidence_n in_o his_o ability_n &_o willingness_n to_o save_v all_o that_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o he_o give_v record_n of_o he_o the_o other_o be_v a_o more_o certain_a thing_n ground_v on_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n because_o a_o soul_n know_v it_o have_v christ_n for_o its_o own_o therefore_o it_o rest_v on_o he_o confident_o for_o salvation_n this_o follow_v the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o believe_v and_o be_v a_o far_a act_n and_o degree_n of_o faith_n and_o come_v after_o our_o come_v to_o he_o and_o receive_v of_o he_o the_o former_a may_v not_o
