second_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v say_v to_o reveal_v salvation_n in_o this_o regard_n because_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o convey_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n into_o the_o soul_n who_o be_v the_o apply_o of_o this_o salvation_n hence_o it_o be_v the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2_o cor._n 3.8_o how_o shall_v not_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v rather_o glorious_a and_o you_o read_v in_o act_n 10.44_o that_o while_n peter_n be_v preach_v to_o cornelius_n and_o his_o company_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o they_o while_o peter_n yet_o speak_v these_o word_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v on_o all_o they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n so_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v dispense_v to_o they_o in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n three_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v say_v to_o reveal_v salvation_n in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o beget_v faith_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o hand_n whereby_o we_o lie_v hold_v on_o this_o salvation_n faith_n come_v by_o hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n rom._n 10.17_o four_o the_o gospel_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n and_o of_o edification_n of_o regeneration_n 1_o cor._n 4.15_o for_o though_o you_o have_v ten_o thousand_o instructor_n in_o christ_n yet_o have_v you_o not_o many_o father_n for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o have_v beget_v you_o through_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o our_o sanctification_n too_o in_o john_n 17.17_o sanctify_v they_o by_o thy_o truth_n say_v our_o saviour_n for_o thy_o word_n be_v truth_n and_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o our_o edification_n or_o build_v we_o up_o in_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n act_v 20.32_o and_o now_o brethren_n i_o commend_v you_o to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o word_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o be_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v able_a to_o build_v you_o up_o and_o to_o give_v you_o a_o inheritance_n among_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v now_o then_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o instrument_n both_o of_o our_o regeneration_n sanctification_n and_o edification_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v also_o the_o instrument_n of_o our_o salvation_n that_o be_v for_o the_o first_o quaery_n how_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v say_v to_o reveal_v salvation_n because_o it_o reveal_v jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o salvation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o convey_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n into_o the_o heart_n who_o be_v the_o apply_o of_o this_o salvation_n and_o work_v faith_n which_o be_v the_o hand_n whereby_o we_o lie_v hold_v on_o this_o salvation_n and_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o work_a regeneration_n sanctification_n and_o edification_n in_o we_o and_o therefore_o must_v be_v the_o instrument_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o second_o quaery_n be_v this_o but_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n reveal_v only_o by_o the_o gospel_n may_v some_o say_v do_v not_o the_o law_n also_o reveal_v salvation_n do_v not_o the_o law_n say_v do_v this_o and_o live_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v though_o the_o law_n may_v be_v say_v in_o some_o sense_n to_o reveal_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n between_o the_o law_n reveal_v and_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v it_o and_o that_o in_o these_o two_o respect_n especial_o first_o the_o law_n do_v not_o reveal_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n so_o clear_o second_o the_o law_n do_v not_o reveal_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n so_o effectual_o first_o the_o law_n do_v not_o reveal_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvarion_n so_o clear_o for_o it_o reveal_v it_o only_o in_o type_n and_o shadow_n and_o resemblance_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 10.1_o the_o law_n have_v the_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v and_o not_o the_o very_a image_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o compare_v the_o law_n to_o a_o shadow_n it_o have_v a_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v for_o example_n the_o law_n tell_v we_o indeed_o of_o a_o saviour_n that_o be_v to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o the_o law_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o it_o be_v typify_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o those_o bloody_a sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o it_o tell_v we_o of_o heaven_n and_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n but_o it_o be_v but_o obscure_o it_o be_v shadow_v out_o by_o a_o earthly_a canaan_n or_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n whereas_o now_o the_o gospel_n bring_v in_o jesus_n christ_n full_o and_o clear_o exhibit_v it_o bring_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o daystar_n from_o on_o high_a which_o do_v enlighten_v we_o and_o the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n that_o do_v dispel_v all_o those_o cloud_n and_o shadow_n that_o be_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n the_o gospel_n do_v as_o it_o be_v draw_v the_o curtain_n that_o now_o we_o may_v with_o open_a face_n behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n 2_o cor._n 3._o last_o verse_n therefore_o the_o law_n do_v not_o discover_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n so_o clear_o second_o the_o law_n do_v not_o discover_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n so_o effectual_o true_a the_o law_n have_v tell_v we_o of_o salvation_n but_o it_o do_v not_o show_v we_o the_o mean_n whereby_o we_o may_v attain_v it_o the_o law_n show_v we_o the_o way_n but_o it_o do_v not_o help_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n the_o law_n have_v command_v we_o to_o obey_v but_o it_o give_v we_o no_o strength_n to_o perform_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o law_n be_v weak_a because_o of_o our_o flesh_n rom._n 8.3_o for_o what_o the_o law_n can_v not_o do_v in_o that_o it_o be_v weak_a through_o the_o flesh_n god_n send_v his_o own_o son_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n and_o for_o sin_n condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n again_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o express_o heb._n 7.19_o the_o law_n make_v nothing_o perfect_a the_o law_n can_v never_o bring_v man_n to_o heaven_n never_o be_v mortal_a man_n save_v by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o require_v obedience_n but_o it_o give_v we_o no_o strength_n to_o perform_v that_o obedience_n it_o exact_v obedience_n upon_o the_o penalty_n of_o a_o dreadful_a curse_n but_o it_o do_v not_o enable_v we_o to_o avoid_v that_o curse_n for_o it_o be_v say_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n to_o do_v they_o deut._n 27.26_o and_o it_o be_v say_v the_o man_n that_o do_v they_o shall_v live_v in_o they_o gal._n 3.12_o leu._n 18.5_o ay_o but_o the_o law_n give_v no_o strength_n to_o do_v what_o it_o do_v enjoin_v i_o but_o now_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v the_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n more_o effectual_o because_o as_o it_o command_v we_o to_o obey_v so_o it_o give_v we_o strength_n to_o perform_v the_o law_n command_v but_o it_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o help_v we_o how_o do_v it_o help_v we_o it_o help_v we_o thus_o because_o it_o direct_v we_o to_o jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o we_o may_v have_v strength_n sure_o shall_v one_o say_v in_o the_o lord_n have_v i_o righteousness_n and_o strength_n isa_n 45.24_o and_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v i_o phil._n 4.13_o ay_o but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v do_v not_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n as_o well_o as_o the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n 2_o cor._n 2.16_o now_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n then_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v to_o bring_v eternal_a salvation_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v when_o the_o gospel_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n it_o be_v not_o speak_v because_o the_o gospel_n do_v kill_v and_o condemn_v simple_o and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n but_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n heart_n that_o do_v not_o obey_v it_o but_o do_v reject_v it_o that_o do_v resist_v it_o a_o king_n pardon_n you_o know_v do_v not_o kill_v any_o by_o itself_o but_o by_o the_o contempt_n of_o a_o malefactor_n that_o do_v reject_v it_o and_o so_o the_o pardon_n may_v double_v the_o malefactor_n guilt_n and_o bring_v upon_o he_o a_o more_o speedy_a and_o fearful_a execution_n so_o here_o the_o gracious_a pardon_n of_o god_n that_o be_v tender_v in_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o kill_v or_o condemn_v any_o in_o itself_o or_o in_o be_v own_o nature_n but_o through_o the_o contempt_n of_o those_o that_o do_v disregard_n it_o in_o this_o regard_n not_o simple_o but_o accidental_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n heart_n and_o nature_n in_o this_o regard_n

the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v have_v but_o it_o be_v that_o knowledge_n that_o be_v dart_v into_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 2.9_o 10_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o the_o apostle_n speak_v it_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n man_n do_v not_o know_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o heart_n but_o say_v he_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v god_n have_v reveal_v they_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n search_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o be_v say_v to_o guide_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n john_n 16.13_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o description_n it_o be_v a_o save_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o it_o be_v a_o knowledge_n whereby_o a_o believer_n have_v receive_v satisfy_v light_n first_o a_o believer_n have_v receive_v light_n the_o truth_n be_v none_o do_v know_v the_o truth_n aright_o but_o he_o that_o believe_v it_o therefore_o believe_v and_o know_v the_o truth_n be_v join_v together_o 1_o tim._n 4.3_o forbid_v to_o marry_v and_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n which_o god_n have_v create_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o thanksgiving_n of_o they_o which_o believe_v and_o know_v the_o truth_n three_o i_o note_v this_o whereby_o a_o believer_n receive_v satisfy_a light_n but_o what_o be_v that_o light_n may_v be_v some_o of_o you_o will_v say_v that_o may_v be_v call_v satisfy_v light_n i_o answer_v and_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o it_o in_o these_o five_o particular_n first_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n that_o be_v join_v with_o a_o powerful_a conviction_n upon_o the_o conscience_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v eonvince_v we_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o righteousness_n and_o judgement_n john_n 16.8_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n break_v in_o upon_o the_o soul_n with_o such_o a_o irresistible_a light_n that_o a_o man_n can_v gainsay_v it_o or_o withstand_v it_o for_o example_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v rise_v in_o the_o morning_n a_o man_n then_o know_v it_o be_v day_n and_o if_o a_o thousand_o shall_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a he_o will_v say_v i_o know_v it_o be_v day_n such_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o irresistible_a light_n it_o break_v in_o upon_o the_o heart_n with_o that_o power_n that_o the_o heart_n can_v gainsay_v it_o second_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n which_o settle_v and_o stablish_v a_o man_n in_o the_o present_a truth_n that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v remove_v from_o it_o when_o a_o man_n be_v root_v in_o the_o faith_n settle_a and_o establish_v in_o jesus_n christ_n than_o he_o have_v receive_v a_o satisfy_a light_n three_o that_o be_v a_o fatisfy_a light_n when_o a_o man_n can_v act_v faith_n upon_o that_o light_n he_o have_v receive_v and_o make_v bold_a adventure_n for_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o have_v embrace_v when_o he_o can_v act_v faith_n upon_o it_o so_o do_v those_o three_o worthy_n in_o daniel_n 3.17_o they_o have_v receive_v such_o satisfy_a light_n that_o god_n be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o his_o worship_n the_o true_a worship_n that_o they_o venture_v a_o furnace_n for_o it_o say_v they_o if_o it_o be_v so_o our_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o thy_o hand_n o_o king_n but_o if_o not_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o thou_o o_o king_n that_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_v thy_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o four_o that_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n which_o will_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o discern_v between_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n though_o error_n be_v mask_v with_o never_o such_o fair_a pretence_n yet_o notwithstanding_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o discover_v that_o error_n and_o abhor_v it_o and_o though_o truth_n be_v eclipse_v with_o never_o so_o many_o false_a gloss_n and_o interpretation_n and_o never_o so_o much_o oppose_v yet_o a_o man_n can_v discern_v it_o and_o close_o with_o it_o and_o cleave_v to_o it_o five_o this_o be_v a_o satisfy_a light_n that_o will_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o reconcile_v some_o seem_a difference_n that_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n let_v i_o give_v you_o a_o instance_n in_o one_o or_o two_o those_o two_o place_n compare_v together_o gen._n 6.6_o and_o it_o repent_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v make_v man_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o grieve_v he_o at_o his_o heart_n but_o in_o numb_a 23.19_o it_o be_v say_v god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v neither_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v now_o a_o man_n that_o have_v this_o satisfy_a light_n he_o know_v how_o to_o reconcile_v these_o two_o place_n thus_o repentance_n in_o god_n be_v not_o a_o change_n of_o his_o will_n but_o of_o his_o work_n god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n because_o he_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o man_n do_v when_o he_o repent_v let_v i_o give_v you_o another_o instance_n saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o rom._n 3.28_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n but_o saint_n james_n he_o tell_v the_o quite_o contrary_a james_n 2.25_o you_o see_v then_o how_o by_o work_v a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o now_o a_o man_n that_o have_v satisfy_v light_n he_o reconcile_v these_o two_o thus_o saint_n paul_n he_o speak_v of_o justification_n before_o god_n and_o saint_n james_n he_o speak_v of_o justification_n before_o man_n we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n only_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o man_n by_o work_n again_o they_o may_v be_v reconcile_v thus_o faith_n do_v justify_v our_o person_n but_o good_a work_n do_v justify_v our_o faith_n good_a work_n be_v no_o part_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o only_o a_o proof_n of_o our_o justification_n last_o in_o the_o description_n i_o say_v this_o a_o believer_n have_v receive_v a_o satisfy_a light_n give_v up_o his_o understanding_n resolve_o to_o those_o truth_n that_o be_v reveal_v to_o he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v when_o do_v a_o man_n give_v up_o his_o understanding_n resolve_o to_o those_o truth_n reveal_v to_o he_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o first_o when_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o part_n with_o every_o sin_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n disallow_n and_o condemn_v though_o it_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o his_o right_a hand_n or_o his_o right_a eye_n and_o when_o he_o can_v practise_v every_o duty_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n command_v though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o difficult_a as_o for_o example_n the_o duty_n of_o mortification_n and_o self-denial_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o world_n when_o he_o can_v purify_v his_o heart_n by_o believe_v and_o obey_v the_o truth_n 1_o pet._n 1.22_o see_v you_o have_v purify_v your_o soul_n in_o obey_v the_o truth_n through_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v say_v of_o many_o of_o the_o priest_n that_o they_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o faith_n act_v 6.7_o and_o st._n paul_n say_v act_v 26.19_o that_o he_o be_v not_o disobedient_a to_o the_o heavenly_a vision_n second_o a_o man_n give_v up_o his_o understanding_n resolve_o to_o the_o truth_n when_o he_o can_v plead_v for_o the_o truth_n and_o not_o plead_v against_o it_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 13.8_o for_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n doctor_n taylor_n the_o martyr_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o this_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o minister_n to_o marry_v i_o know_v say_v he_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fundamental_a truth_n but_o because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n rather_o than_o i_o will_v part_v with_o any_o truth_n i_o will_v part_v with_o my_o life_n so_o then_o when_o a_o man_n can_v thus_o resolve_o give_v up_o his_o understanding_n to_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o will_v part_v with_o his_o life_n rather_o than_o part_v with_o the_o truth_n then_o have_v he_o attain_v to_o this_o certainty_n of_o knowledge_n indeed_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o description_n of_o it_o and_o have_v the_o point_v open_v now_o let_v i_o make_v application_n of_o it_o use_v 1_o if_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o they_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o only_o know_v more_o of_o god_n
