work_v in_o we_o at_o all_o time_n 135_o as_o the_o star_n shine_v but_o with_o a_o borrow_a light_n from_o the_o sun_n so_o unless_o god_n shine_v secret_o and_o give_v light_n to_o our_o grace_n they_o will_v neither_o appear_v to_o comfort_v we_o nor_o to_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o god_n favour_n to_o we_o 136_o as_o the_o chaff_n when_o the_o wheat_n be_v toss_v in_o the_o sive_fw-la come_v

when_o the_o lord_n write_v his_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n he_o do_v not_o only_o knock_v off_o the_o old_a bias_n of_o sinful_a lust_n but_o set_v on_o a_o new_a bias_n that_o bow_n and_o bend_v it_o

of_o the_o spirit_n live_v so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v more_o grace_n than_o he_o have_v knowledge_n though_o he_o may_v have_v much_o empty_a and_o unprofitable_a knowledge_n without_o grace_n 145_o as_o the_o loadstone_n have_v a_o linger_a inclination_n after_o the_o iron_n though_o it_o be_v pull_v away_o a_o thousand_o time_n from_o it_o such_o a_o disposition_n there_o be_v in_o god_n

so_o well_o as_o a_o strong_a yet_o a_o wise_a master_n will_v consider_v his_o weakness_n so_o the_o lord_n consider_v the_o natural_a weakness_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o deal_v merciful_o with_o

to_o he_o so_o god_n look_v upon_o his_o child_n through_o the_o bleed_a wound_n of_o their_o bless_a saviour_n behold_v they_o fair_a and_o ruddy_a deep_o die_v with_o a_o heavenly_a dye_n of_o

his_o corruption_n be_v sever_v and_o shake_v off_o 157_o man_n may_v be_v enlighten_v but_o not_o sanctify_v as_o a_o false_a star_n or_o ignis_fw-la fatuus_fw-la may_v have_v light_n without_o
