if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o will_n in_o thou_o to_o have_v desire_v it_o he_o will_v have_v give_v thou_o water_n of_o life_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o will_n in_o man_n to_o have_v faith_n nay_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n do_v secret_o oppose_v it_o why_o then_o let_v not_o man_n lay_v the_o fault_n upon_o god_n but_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o will_n and_o a_o man_n will_n be_v not_o against_o the_o lord_n than_o there_o be_v a_o beginning_n of_o god_n work_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v certain_o give_v out_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n and_o christ_n to_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o shall_v be_v find_v wait_v upon_o he_o and_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o several_a temptation_n that_o may_v arise_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n now_o follow_v something_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n and_o direction_n for_o the_o prevent_n and_o silence_v of_o all_o temptation_n of_o this_o nature_n matth._n 15._o 24._o but_o he_o answer_v and_o say_v i_o be_o not_o send_v but_o unto_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n sermon_n xv._n i_o come_v now_o to_o lay_v down_o some_o general_a rule_n for_o the_o silence_v and_o overcome_v of_o all_o temptation_n of_o this_o nature_n concern_v election_n election_n and_o the_o first_o rule_n be_v this_o 1._o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o give_v way_n to_o carnal_a reason_n that_o we_o do_v not_o set_v carnal_a reason_n on_o work_n to_o find_v out_o this_o great_a and_o wonderful_a mystery_n take_v heed_n of_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o carnal_a reason_n when_o you_o begin_v to_o reason_n concern_v election_n as_o to_o the_o causer_n of_o it_o why_o god_n shall_v choose_v one_o and_o refuse_v another_o seek_v not_o to_o satisfy_v carnal_a reason_n in_o this_o for_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o silence_v of_o carnal_a reason_n consider_v first_o of_o all_o that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o thou_o be_v man_n therefore_o do_v not_o quarrel_v and_o contend_v with_o god_n and_o seek_v to_o bring_v down_o god_n to_o satisfy_v thy_o reason_n in_o this_o rom._n 9_o 20._o nay_o but_o o_o man_n who_o be_v thou_o that_o reply_v against_o god_n shall_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o the_o apostle_n he_o bring_v in_o this_o for_o the_o silence_v of_o carnal_a reason_n that_o be_v too_o busy_a in_o pry_v into_o god_n election_n and_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v unless_o he_o have_v a_o reason_n man_n who_o be_v thou_o consider_v that_o thou_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v but_o a_o child_n of_o adam_n and_o remember_v that_o as_o thou_o be_v man_n so_o he_o be_v god_n he_o be_v jehovah_n he_o be_v a_o infinite_a incomprehensible_a be_v he_o be_v absolute_a he_o be_v independent_a he_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o any_o creature_n his_o will_n it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o righteousness_n he_o be_v god_n it_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o man_n nor_o the_o reason_n of_o man_n that_o must_v be_v righteous_a that_o must_v not_o be_v good_a which_o we_o will_v and_o which_o we_o comprehend_v no_o that_o be_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o goodness_n but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o not_o man_n second_o to_o silence_v carnal_a reason_n remember_v that_o he_o be_v thy_o maker_n shall_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o 20._o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o why_o he_o make_v thou_o he_o fashion_v thou_o and_o be_v it_o fit_a for_o the_o creature_n to_o contend_v with_o his_o maker_n shall_v the_o potsherd_v go_v and_o strive_v with_o his_o maker_n there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o distance_n betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n as_o between_o the_o potter_n and_o the_o clay_n nay_o a_o great_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o of_o the_o same_o lump_n he_o make_v one_o a_o vessel_n of_o honour_n another_o of_o dishonour_n be_v this_o remember_v we_o will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o call_v god_n to_o account_v three_o for_o to_o silence_v carnal_a reason_n consider_v that_o the_o more_o a_o man_n wade_v into_o this_o mystery_n with_o his_o own_o reason_n the_o further_o he_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v from_o satisfaction_n for_o it_o be_v just_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v attempt_v to_o go_v and_o wade_v over_o the_o sea_n on_o foot_n when_o a_o man_n set_v the_o first_o step_n into_o the_o sea_n it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v up_o to_o the_o knee_n the_o next_o step_v up_o to_o the_o loin_n next_o step_v up_o to_o the_o neck_n and_o the_o next_o step_n over_o head_n and_o ear_n and_o can_v feel_v no_o bottom_n it_o be_v true_a by_o faith_n we_o may_v go_v down_o into_o this_o great_a deep_a and_o see_v the_o wonder_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n a_o man_n may_v go_v upon_o this_o great_a depth_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o cry_v out_o o_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o if_o we_o go_v with_o carnal_a reason_n we_o shall_v be_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n and_o the_o more_o reason_n the_o further_a from_o satisfaction_n and_o he_o will_v confound_v his_o reason_n if_o a_o man_n gaze_v upon_o the_o sun_n to_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o think_v to_o comprehend_v the_o sun_n the_o more_o he_o gaze_v upon_o the_o sun_n the_o more_o will_v the_o sun_n confound_v the_o eye_n that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v the_o sun_n and_o so_o when_o the_o dim_a eye_n of_o carnal_a reason_n shall_v gaze_v upon_o this_o glorious_a mystery_n of_o god_n the_o eye_n will_v soon_o be_v confound_v and_o we_o shall_v be_v further_o from_o satisfaction_n four_o consider_v for_o the_o silence_v of_o carnal_a reason_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o satisfy_v his_o reason_n but_o he_o shall_v dash_v against_o many_o dangerous_a rock_n that_o will_v split_v he_o all_o to_o piece_n many_o a_o man_n of_o learning_n have_v think_v to_o comprehend_v this_o mystery_n by_o reason_n and_o so_o they_o have_v split_v against_o many_o dangerous_a rock_n of_o error_n and_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n many_o have_v come_v to_o reason_n against_o rom._n 9_o and_o have_v wish_v that_o it_o have_v be_v tear_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n o_o dangerous_a rock_n that_o man_n split_v themselves_o against_o that_o will_v have_v their_o reason_n satisfy_v in_o this_o deep_a mystery_n i_o have_v know_v some_o i_o hope_v gracious_a that_o have_v be_v miserable_o shatter_v this_o way_n that_o will_v needs_o call_v god_n to_o account_v why_o god_n let_v adam_n fall_v and_o why_o god_n do_v not_o save_v all_o the_o world_n and_o why_o god_n shall_v take_v one_o and_o not_o another_o and_o they_o have_v reason_v thus_o until_o they_o have_v reason_v themselves_o out_o of_o good_a thought_n of_o god_n and_o out_o of_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o hope_n and_o have_v reason_v themselves_o out_o of_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o have_v be_v as_o poor_a creature_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o ocean_n and_o have_v find_v no_o ground_n to_o set_v their_o foot_n upon_o and_o again_o consider_v that_o the_o devil_n will_v make_v use_n of_o carnal_a reason_n in_o this_o mystery_n of_o god_n to_o keep_v a_o poor_a soul_n in_o a_o dark_a and_o perplex_a condition_n there_o be_v many_o a_o poor_a soul_n be_v keep_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o lead_v into_o a_o labyrinth_n that_o they_o can_v find_v no_o path_n they_o be_v keep_v in_o a_o fruitless_a condition_n many_o day_n and_o year_n a_o useless_a condition_n they_o be_v keep_v from_o their_o present_a work_n and_o duty_n by_o give_v way_n to_o their_o carnal_a reason_n in_o this_o great_a mystery_n and_o consider_v last_o of_o all_o for_o the_o silence_v of_o carnal_a reason_n that_o it_o be_v a_o impossible_a thing_n to_o attain_v to_o satisfy_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a attempt_n time_n be_v spend_v in_o vain_a and_o thou_o lay_v out_o thyself_o in_o vain_a while_o a_o soul_n seek_v that_o which_o can_v be_v to_o know_v their_o election_n in_o the_o first_o place_n before_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o be_v find_v believe_v and_o obey_v and_o walk_v with_o god_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o impossible_a thing_n for_o you_o to_o know_v your_o election_n before_o you_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n it_o be_v true_a you_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o to_o make_v your_o election_n sure_a ay_o but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v find_v it_o out_o by_o reason_n have_v a_o account_n of_o it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n no_o make_v
