shall_v live_v by_o faith_n because_o this_o last_o point_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n i_o will_v spend_v some_o time_n in_o the_o explain_v of_o it_o that_o a_o man_n then_o may_v live_v by_o his_o

have_v six_o condition_n first_o of_o all_o it_o must_v be_v absolute_a for_o we_o must_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o our_o own_o eye_n and_o simple_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n trust_v god_n upon_o his_o bare_a &_o naked_a word_n and_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o it_o in_o natural_a thing_n experience_n be_v first_o and_o then_o faith_n come_v afterward_o and_o thomas_n follow_v nature_n desire_v first_o to_o feel_v before_o he_o will_v believe_v but_o god_n must_v be_v trust_v though_o that_o which_o he_o say_v be_v against_o reason_n and_o experience_n thus_o abraham_n believe_v god_n against_o all_o humane_a hope_n 4.18_o the_o second_o condition_n be_v that_o this_o obedience_n must_v be_v sincere_a for_o we_o must_v trust_v god_n word_n for_o itself_o because_o it_o be_v god_n word_n all_o by-respect_n set_v apart_o they_o which_o be_v as_o the_o stony_a ground_n receive_v god_n word_n and_o rejoice_v in_o it_o and_o yet_o afterward_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n go_v awry_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n &_o rejoice_v in_o it_o not_o proper_o for_o itself_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o honour_n profit_n 8.13_o or_o

of_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v they_o rejoice_v in_o it_o but_o for_o a_o season_n the_o three_o condition_n be_v that_o we_o must_v trust_v god_n not_o in_o a_o part_n but_o in_o his_o whole_a word_n and_o therefore_o many_o fail_n in_o their_o faith_n that_o be_v content_a to_o trust_v he_o in_o his_o promise_n of_o mercy_n &_o salvation_n but_o list_v not_o to_o believe_v he_o in_o his_o commandment_n and_o threat_n the_o four_o condition_n be_v that_o we_o must_v trust_v god_n in_o his_o word_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v take_v deep_a root_n and_o be_v a_o engraft_a word_n ●●_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o have_v a_o taste_n of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o receive_v it_o with_o joy_n unless_o we_o thorough_o and_o sound_o build_v and_o rely_v ourselves_o upon_o it_o the_o five_o condition_n be_v that_o this_o trust_n of_o god_n must_v be_v with_o a_o honest_a heart_n that_o be_v with_o a_o heart_n in_o which_o there_o be_v a_o distinct_a and_o settle_a purpose_n not_o to_o sin_n but_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o good_a hearer_n be_v they_o which_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o a_o honest_a and_o good_a heart_n 8.15_o without_o this_o can_v no_o man_n possible_o live_v by_o faith_n he_o that_o put_v away_o his_o good_a conscience_n make_v

but_o he_o that_o be_v a_o just_a man_n after_o that_o man_n have_v make_v some_o good_a proceed_n and_o do_v know_v the_o word_n receive_v it_o rejoice_v in_o it_o 3.38_o &_o bring_v forth_o some_o fruit_n if_o the_o heart_n for_o all_o this_o be_v evil_a it_o will_v cause_v they_o at_o length_n to_o depart_v from_o god_n by_o distrust_v or_o by_o deny_v credence_n to_o his_o word_n the_o six_o condition_n be_v that_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v stable_n and_o constant_a the_o lord_n say_v 10.38_o my_o soul_n have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o withdraw_v themselves_o that_o be_v which_o for_o a_o time_n believe_v god_n and_o afterward_o pull_v back_o their_o foot_n and_o go_v back_o from_o their_o faith_n see_v this_o be_v the_o right_a way_n to_o conceive_v faith_n to_o know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o trust_v he_o upon_o the_o same_o word_n all_o such_o as_o will_v live_v by_o faith_n must_v have_v their_o heart_n kindle_v with_o a_o desire_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n before_o name_v special_o to_o give_v credence_n to_o every_o word_n of_o god_n we_o may_v not_o forsake_v god_n for_o any_o creature_n now_o we_o forsake_v he_o when_o we_o distrust_v he_o in_o his_o word_n again_o not_o to_o believe_v god_n be_v very_a atheism_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v god_n be_v make_v a_o liar_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o majesty_n be_v abolish_v it_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o glory_n to_o believe_v god_n 3.31_o as_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o receive_v his_o testimony_n put_v to_o his_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a that_o be_v give_v

which_o the_o law_n require_v the_o perfect_a obedience_n of_o the_o law_n be_v impossible_a to_o all_o man_n except_o christ_n yea_o to_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v anew_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n though_o for_o the_o time_n of_o this_o life_n they_o desire_v it_o never_o so_o earnest_o yet_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o repentance_n be_v so_o far_o forth_o possible_a to_o all_o that_o will_v and_o desire_v it_o that_o whosoever_o do_v serious_o but_o will_n to_o and_o be_v convert_v do_v indeed_o believe_v and_o be_v convert_v and_o do_v please_v god_n and_o shall_v not_o perish_v

my_o burden_n light_n therefore_o let_v we_o try_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o have_v a_o will_n to_o subject_v ourselves_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o bid_v we_o believe_v in_o christ._n nevertheless_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o this_o will_n to_o believe_v be_v in_o our_o power_n for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o special_a mercy_n of_o god_n stir_v up_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o elect_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o four_o and_o last_o thing_n in_o this_o change_n be_v that_o faith_n in_o christ_n or_o in_o the_o word_n believe_v must_v reign_v and_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n bring_v the_o whole_a man_n in_o subjection_n to_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n and_o this_o faith_n in_o christ_n do_v because_o when_o it_o be_v once_o settle_a in_o the_o heart_n it_o work_v in_o we_o a_o full_a and_o settle_a faith_n of_o every_o part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n namely_o of_o his_o precept_n and_o of_o his_o threat_n here_o then_o our_o duty_n be_v to_o subject_v ourselves_o by_o mean_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o the_o whole_a word_n and_o to_o suffer_v nothing_o within_o we_o but_o it_o alone_o to_o bear_v sway_n 3.27_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n let_v the_o word_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o you_o plentiful_o the_o good_a ground_n yield_v itself_o &_o give_v place_n that_o the_o seed_n may_v take_v deep_a root_n it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n erect_v in_o our_o heart_n now_o this_o kingdom_n be_v erect_v when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n keep_v all_o the_o power_n of_o body_n and_o

faith_n the_o three_o use_n follow_v in_o that_o we_o be_v to_o live_v by_o our_o faith_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o seek_v for_o knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n &_o daily_o to_o

know_v in_o his_o several_a head_n and_o point_n four_o hence_o we_o learn_v how_o we_o be_v to_o carry_v ourselves_o in_o great_a danger_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o plague_n &_o pestilence_n in_o the_o time_n of_o famine_n in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n &_o bloodshed_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o last_o and_o deadly_a sickness_n we_o have_v then_o need_v of_o great_a help_n and_o the_o only_a

peace_n and_o other_o blessing_n of_o god_n yet_o our_o common_a sin_n and_o especial_o our_o unbelief_n call_v down_o for_o the_o great_a and_o grievous_a judgement_n of_o god_n moreover_o hence_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o every_o man_n must_v have_v a_o faith_n of_o his_o own_o the_o just_a man_n shall_v live_v by_o his_o own_o faith_n say_v the_o prophet_n and_o good_a reason_n for_o every_o man_n be_v a_o creature_n of_o god_n and_o must_v do_v his_o homage_n to_o god_n by_o believe_v in_o he_o &_o because_o every_o man_n have_v need_n of_o christ_n for_o himself_o therefore_o must_v

these_o little_a one_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o but_o this_o opinion_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o untruth_n because_o faith_n presuppose_v understanding_n and_o knowledge_n which_o infant_n want_v again_o if_o infant_n receive_v to_o believe_v when_o they_o be_v young_a they_o will_v no_o doubt_n show_v it_o when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n but_o faith_n they_o show_v none_o unless_o they_o
