will_v not_o be_v suspect_v of_o you_o or_o any_o in_o the_o least_o once_o to_o imagine_v that_o any_o man_n sin_n by_o the_o direct_a guidance_n of_o providence_n there_o be_v another_o power_n that_o have_v a_o recourse_n to_o the_o heart_n as_o the_o chief_a shop_n or_o workhouse_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o 13.2_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o who_o it_o be_v that_o put_v it_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o judas_n to_o betray_v his_o master_n but_o i_o think_v the_o heart_n be_v only_o bend_v and_o incline_v to_o evil_a when_o god_n let_v it_o alone_o to_o itself_o or_o the_o bare_a light_n of_o weak_a reason_n and_o leave_v we_o destitute_a of_o his_o help_n and_o in_o that_o very_a case_n god_n so_o order_v the_o event_n of_o sin_n by_o his_o providence_n as_o that_o it_o become_v serviceable_a to_o his_o most_o wise_a most_o just_a and_o most_o holy_a purpose_n and_o further_o that_o when_o the_o heart_n have_v once_o wed_v itself_o to_o some_o particular_a object_n through_o the_o deceitfulness_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o like_a there_o be_v no_o divorce_n to_o be_v have_v or_o effect_v but_o by_o the_o special_a assistance_n of_o divine_a goodness_n towards_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n for_o notwithstanding_o reason_n may_v be_v convince_v by_o the_o argument_n of_o another_o and_o there_o may_v be_v a_o representation_n of_o its_o conviction_n to_o the_o affection_n yet_o it_o hold_v on_o reason_n may_v and_o often_o do_v beat_v upon_o the_o heart_n but_o it_o can_v enter_v so_o as_o to_o obtain_v any_o possession_n as_o if_o it_o be_v to_o show_v there_o be_v a_o superintendent_n power_n which_o shut_v and_o no_o man_n open_v and_o opens_z and_o no_o man_n shut_v and_o that_o that_o part_n of_o man_n be_v more_o god_n peculiar_a than_o any_o other_o thus_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o abovesaid_a case_n where_o moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v a_o obstinate_a pharaoh_n in_o point_n of_o intellect_n as_o he_o often_o acknowledge_v it_o but_o god_n have_v the_o sole_a dominion_n over_o the_o heart_n and_o permit_v it_o now_o and_o then_o to_o be_v contract_v and_o shut_v up_o against_o all_o human_a light_n 9.17_o that_o his_o power_n may_v be_v show_v and_o

stamp_n of_o in_o nature_n no_o less_o than_o there_o be_v of_o justice_n which_o all_o or_o most_o man_n agree_v to_o however_o each_v of_o they_o be_v become_v much_o obliterate_v but_o now_o since_o charity_n be_v so_o much_o the_o chief_a spring_n and_o principle_n of_o action_n it_o be_v fit_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o direct_v and_o assist_v that_o it_o may_v either_o be_v prefer_v to_o its_o regency_n where_o it_o be_v any_o way_n obstruct_v or_o be_v preserve_v in_o it_o and_o the_o mean_n hereunto_o will_v be_v the_o better_o discover_v if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a connexion_n betwixt_o the_o grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o mutual_a light_n and_o assistance_n which_o they_o lend_v one_o to_o the_o other_o in_o their_o

its_o vigour_n to_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o rest_n as_o for_o instance_n humility_n do_v not_o a_o little_a administer_v thereunto_o as_o it_o arise_v from_o a_o prospect_n into_o our_o own_o

heart_n and_o all_o the_o soul_n but_o because_o man_n may_v be_v lowly_a and_o humble_a and_o think_v mean_o of_o himself_o and_o yet_o not_o present_o find_v a_o ready_a rule_n for_o draw_v his_o
