regeneration_n the_o cause_n thereof_o 3.13_o 1._o thess_n 3.13_o be_v through_o the_o whole_a man_n in_o body_n soul_n and_o spirit_n also_o obedience_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o love_n and_o love_n be_v from_o a_o pure_a heart_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a thus_o we_o teach_v not_o that_o man_n must_v believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n while_o they_o lie_v and_o live_v in_o they_o for_o that_o be_v altogether_o to_o teach_v falsehood_n for_o truth_n he_o that_o believe_v the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n by_o true_a faith_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o a_o constant_a purpose_n not_o to_o sin_v against_o god_n if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v against_o his_o mind_n it_o be_v not_o he_o that_o do_v it_o but_o the_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o his_o case_n stand_v thus_o he_o have_v by_o his_o sin_n give_v a_o blow_n to_o his_o conscience_n weaken_v his_o faith_n bereave_v himself_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n as_o much_o

to_o this_o demand_v how_o a_o man_n may_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o adoption_n if_o he_o want_v the_o testimony_n from_o heaven_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o as_o fire_n be_v know_v

be_v sufficient_a to_o engraffe_v they_o into_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o doubt_v of_o their_o election_n because_o they_o find_v their_o faith_n feeble_a and_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n faint_a within_o they_o which_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o end_n to_o lead_v man_n into_o security_n &_o that_o they_o shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o these_o small_a
