and_o i_o find_v that_o one_o part_n proceed_v from_o that_o which_o christ_n say_v that_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n have_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n neither_o faith_n nor_o confidence_n nor_o love_n can_v give_v of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o and_o consequent_o can_v except_o he_o set_v himself_o purposely_o thereto_o make_v show_v offaith_o confidence_n or_o love_n and_o because_o he_o who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n have_v in_o his_o heart_n piety_n faith_n confidence_n and_o love_n and_o have_v to_o give_v of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v it_o be_v necessary_a how_o careless_a soever_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v yield_v forth_o piety_n faith_n confidence_n and_o love_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v the_o just_a man_n mouth_n a_o vein_n or_o i_o of_o life_n and_o i_o find_v likewise_o that_o the_o other_o part_n of_o these_o contrariety_n proceed_v from_o this_o that_o the_o man_n who_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n because_o he_o keep_v no_o account_n with_o his_o heart_n then_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v confidence_n and_o that_o he_o love_v when_o he_o have_v the_o faith_n the_o confidence_n and_o the_o love_n in_o his_o understanding_n he_o know_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o christian_a that_o he_o shall_v believe_v have_v confidence_n and_o love_n and_o then_o he_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o believe_v have_v confidence_n and_o love_n and_o the_o person_n who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o keep_v account_n with_o their_o heart_n not_o content_v themselves_o to_o hold_v the_o faith_n the_o confidence_n and_o the_o love_n in_o their_o understanding_n can_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o believe_v have_v confidence_n or_o love_n but_o when_o they_o feel_v in_o their_o heart_n the_o effect_n of_o confidence_n and_o love_n and_o because_o this_o sentiment_n be_v through_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n who_o give_v it_o not_o when_o man_n will_v but_o when_o it_o please_v his_o divine_a majesty_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o those_o person_n who_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v then_o find_v most_o difficulty_n in_o believe_v love_a and_o have_v confidence_n when_o they_o do_v most_o instant_o procure_v it_o whence_o it_o be_v well_o gather_v that_o the_o sign_n of_o what_o a_o man_n have_v within_o he_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o that_o which_o he_o show_v outward_o when_o he_o stand_v regardless_o and_o far_o that_o through_o the_o facility_n or_o difficulty_n with_o which_o a_o man_n persuade_v himself_o to_o believe_v have_v confidence_n and_o love_n it_o may_v be_v know_v whether_o his_o faith_n confidence_n and_o love_n stand_v in_o the_o understanding_n or_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o this_o conclusion_n be_v make_v that_o they_o who_o while_o

be_v to_o be_v consider_v and_o not_o that_o of_o man_n the_o second_o cause_n i_o understand_v be_v because_o man_n judge_v of_o god_n work_n with_o the_o selfsame_o judgement_n with_o which_o they_o

to_o man_n a_o absurd_a &_o evil_a thing_n that_o god_n shall_v harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n make_v he_o to_o sin_n in_o not_o suffer_v the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o depart_v &_o that_o
