do_v not_o object_n christ_n have_v promise_v to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v send_v

that_o deny_v some_o scripture_n must_v by_o the_o same_o ground_n deny_v all_o and_o if_o one_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o truth_n to_o i_o and_o to_o be_v receive_v in_o any_o practice_n how_o can_v

compare_v they_o with_o other_o scripture_n first_o christ_n promise_v to_o find_v his_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a promise_n make_v to_o the_o apostle_n most_o principal_o and_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o all_o the_o saint_n two_o thing_n here_o mention_v in_o this_o scripture_n be_v most_o principal_o to_o the_o apostle_n 1_o that_o be_v mention_v be_v the_o first_o he_o shall_v bring_v all_o thing_n to_o your_o remembrance_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o note_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v with_o he_o see_v his_o miracle_n hear_v his_o word_n but_o now_o when_o christ_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n he_o will_v send_v his_o spirit_n which_o shall_v bring_v all_o thing_n that_o christ_n speak_v or_o do_v necessary_a to_o be_v be_v remember_v for_o our_o information_n and_o consolation_n to_o their_o remembrance_n that_o they_o may_v leave_v it_o upon_o record_n to_o future_a generation_n and_o this_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n proper_o belong_v to_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v both_o eye_n and_o ear_n witness_n of_o all_o he_o do_v or_o spake_v and_o this_o may_v confirm_v we_o admirable_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v you_o see_v write_v by_o the_o immediate_a inspiration_n of_o that_o spirit_n of_o promise_n bring_v it_o to_o the_o remembrance_n of_o those_o that_o write_v it_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n serve_v to_o destroy_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o second_o thing_n promise_v be_v that_o it_o shall_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n note_v here_o also_o a_o admirable_a word_n christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o that_o spirit_n he_o will_v send_v they_o shall_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v all_o thing_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o make_v know_v to_o man_n for_o their_o rule_n and_o direction_n in_o this_o life_n and_o this_o without_o question_n christ_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o make_v good_a to_o his_o disciple_n therefore_o i_o hope_v this_o do_v not_o serve_v to_o destroy_v scripture_n but_o to_o confirm_v it_o abundant_o for_o if_o christ_n do_v as_o without_o question_n it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v he_o do_v not_o teach_v his_o disciple_n all_o thing_n then_o be_v the_o rule_v prescribe_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o epistle_n true_a and_o perfect_a rule_n and_o you_o and_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o duty_n as_o we_o will_v approve_v ourselves_o christian_n to_o submit_v unto_o they_o to_o receive_v they_o as_o the_o holy_a promise_a truth_n of_o god_n object_n but_o christ_n make_v this_o promise_n not_o

to_o the_o disciple_n that_o they_o may_v leave_v we_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n from_o himself_o and_o in_o this_o there_o be_v much_o comfort_n for_o the_o saint_n that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o
