therein_o this_o efficacy_n lie_v when_o the_o heart_n be_v knit_v to_o he_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o jonathan_n be_v to_o david_n and_o when_o christ_n shall_v be_v knit_v to_o we_o again_o that_o we_o

be_v a_o effectual_a faith_n but_o yet_o add_v this_o again_o a_o man_n may_v take_v christ_n and_o seem_v to_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o when_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o fear_n it_o

it_o out_o of_o love_n christ._n put_v these_o two_o together_o that_o we_o so_o take_v christ_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o union_n make_v between_o we_o and_o he_o and_o when_o it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o love_n as_o that_o condition_n be_v put_v in_o in_o 1_o tim_n 1.5_o 1.5_o the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v a_o double_a kind_n of_o faith_n a_o false_a faith_n and_o a_o faith_n that_o be_v not_o hypocritical_a that_o be_v the_o word_n use_v in_o the_o original_a now_o say_v he_o the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v all_o that_o god_n look_v for_o be_v such_o a_o love_n as_o come_v from_o a_o faith_n that_o be_v unfeigned_a that_o be_v not_o counterfeit_v herein_o be_v faith_n see_v not_o to_o be_v counterfeit_a if_o it_o beget_v love_n and_o out_o of_o that_o love_n we_o cleave_v to_o christ._n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n that_o make_v faith_n effectual_a four_o faith_n be_v then_o say_v to_o be_v effectual_a when_o it_o have_v not_o only_o do_v all_o this_o consist_v when_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o good_a preparation_n make_v for_o it_o when_o it_o be_v well_o build_v in_o the_o understanding_n and_o when_o the_o will_n have_v thus_o take_v christ_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o further_a act_n and_o that_o be_v the_o turn_n of_o the_o whole_a soul_n soul_n and_o a_o second_n of_o it_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n &_o practice_n a_o second_n of_o it_o in_o our_o execution_n and_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o christ_n command_v as_o in_o gal._n 5._o 5._o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n such_o a_o faith_n as_o work_n that_o be_v effectual_a faith_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v many_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o will_v do_v nothing_o for_o he_o they_o will_v not_o work_v now_o work_v be_v in_o do_v suffer_v or_o in_o suffer_v for_o in_o suffer_v there_o be_v a_o work_n as_o well_o as_o in_o do_v only_o it_o be_v a_o work_n with_o more_o difficulty_n a_o work_n with_o more_o impediment_n again_o if_o they_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o love_n but_o for_o other_o respect_n perhaps_o out_o of_o some_o flash_n or_o good_a mood_n or_o some_o other_o respect_n out_o to_o do_v it_o as_o be_v root_v &_o ground_v in_o love_n if_o faith_n have_v this_o work_n it_o be_v effectual_a faith_n and_o therefore_o when_o faith_n have_v once_o take_v christ_n it_o must_v shoot_v itself_o into_o all_o the_o affection_n for_o when_o they_o be_v all_o set_v on_o work_n endeavour_n will_v follow_v if_o the_o will_v be_v so_o set_v on_o work_n indeed_o the_o rest_n will_v follow_v after_o it_o love_n will_v follow_v desire_v after_o christ_n will_v follow_v fear_v to_o offend_v he_o will_v follow_v repentance_n and_o turn_n from_o satan_n will_v follow_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n and_o obedience_n etc._n etc._n will_v follow_v promiscuous_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v promiscuous_o sometime_o to_o one_o thing_n sometime_o to_o another_o sometime_o he_o that_o repent_v shall_v be_v save_v sometime_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v sometime_o he_o that_o obey_v shall_v be_v save_v you_o shall_v find_v they_o promiscuous_o because_o that_o when_o faith_n be_v effectual_a it_o have_v all_o these_o with_o it_o it_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n therefore_o this_o must_v be_v add_v to_o show_v the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n and_o if_o this_o be_v want_v faith_n be_v not_o effectual_a not_o that_o it_o can_v be_v disjoin_v from_o the_o other_o but_z that_o it_o be_v that_o wherein_o it_o consist_v with_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v god_n usual_a manner_n when_o man_n seem_v to_o take_v christ_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o grace_n he_o put_v they_o to_o the_o trial_n to_o see_v what_o they_o will_v do_v whether_o their_o faith_n will_v work_v or_o no._n thus_o he_o do_v with_o abraham_n when_o he_o will_v prove_v he_o he_o be_v a_o faithful_a man_n before_o god_n have_v experience_n of_o he_o before_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v prove_v abraham_n by_o offer_v his_o son_n and_o when_o he_o see_v he_o do_v it_o he_o conclude_v that_o he_o have_v faith_n indeed_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a faith_n for_o it_o endure_v the_o trial_n i_o say_v god_n will_v put_v man_n to_o it_o so_o likewise_o those_o in_o joh._n 12.42_o 12.42_o many_o of_o the_o chief_a ruler_n believe_v in_o he_o but_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n in_o they_o a_o take_z of_o christ_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n it_o hold_v not_o out_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o because_o they_o fear_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n that_o be_v when_o they_o come_v to_o suffer_v a_o little_a for_o christ_n sake_n when_o they_o come_v to_o such_o a_o action_n as_o confess_v his_o name_n when_o they_o come_v to_o endure_v but_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n they_o forsake_v he_o which_o show_v that_o their_o belief_n be_v ineffectual_a so_o that_o let_v a_o man_n seem_v to_o have_v all_o the_o other_o three_o yet_o when_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o competition_n with_o any_o command_n of_o god_n when_o god_n shall_v put_v he_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v dear_a to_o he_o as_o he_o do_v abraham_n if_o his_o faith_n work_v not_o if_o his_o faith_n hold_v not_o out_o in_o the_o trial_n but_o start_v aside_o like_o a_o break_a bow_n it_o be_v not_o effectual_a faith_n so_o you_o see_v the_o thing_n wherein_o the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n consist_v first_o in_o the_o soundness_n of_o the_o preparation_n second_o when_o the_o mind_n apprehend_v the_o promise_n and_o see_v good_a ground_n to_o pitch_v upon_o they_o three_o when_o the_o will_v so_o take_v christ_n as_o to_o bring_v christ_n into_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o christ_n live_v in_o we_o and_o that_o out_o of_o love_n and_o four_a when_o faith_n work_v and_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n when_o god_n shall_v put_v we_o to_o it_o i_o say_v when_o you_o find_v these_o four_o thing_n you_o may_v conclude_v that_o your_o faith_n be_v effectual_a the_o last_o thing_n i_o propound_v be_v to_o show_v how_o this_o be_v wrought_v wrought_v how_o our_o faith_n be_v make_v effectual_a it_o be_v make_v effectual_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o believe_v nay_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o we_o strive_v against_o it_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o resist_v it_o so_o that_o if_o god_n

who_o you_o will_v serve_v altogether_o so_o that_o to_o take_v christ_n with_o a_o justify_n faith_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o receive_v he_o as_o it_o be_v express_v in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n joh._n 1.11_o 1.11.12_o he_o come_v unto_o his_o own_o and_o his_o own_o receive_v he_o not_o but_o to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o he_o give_v power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v on_o his_o name_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o as_o the_o papist_n say_v a_o mere_a act_n of_o the_o understanding_n but_o a_o take_n of_o he_o for_o your_o god_n your_o saviour_n to_o who_o alone_o you_o will_v be_v subject_a and_o give_v yourself_o last_o of_o all_o when_o these_o two_o be_v do_v and_o effect_v so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o error_n either_o in_o the_o person_n or_o in_o the_o form_n there_o be_v yet_o one_o thing_n more_o remain_v behind_o and_o that_o be_v to_o take_v and_o accept_v he_o with_o a_o complete_a a_o deliberate_a and_o true_a will_n for_o even_o as_o in_o other_o match_n put_v the_o case_n the_o person_n be_v know_v and_o the_o form_n due_o observe_v yet_o if_o there_o do_v not_o concur_v a_o complete_a will_n it_o be_v not_o proper_o a_o match_n and_o therefore_o those_o match_n be_v unlawful_a which_o be_v make_v before_o year_n of_o discretion_n when_o a_o man_n have_v not_o the_o use_n of_o his_o will_n or_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o frenzy_n because_o there_o be_v then_o no_o complete_a or_o deliberate_a will_n christ._n so_o in_o this_o spiritual_a match_n you_o shall_v see_v how_o many_o the_o want_n of_o such_o a_o will_n exclude_v first_o i_o say_v it_o must_v be_v complete_a which_o exclude_v all_o wisher_n and_o woulder_n that_o prize_n christ_n a_o little_a that_o can_v be_v content_a to_o have_v christ_n but_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o inclination_n than_o a_o complete_a will_n that_o be_v in_o a_o aequilibrio_fw-la that_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o not_o yet_o that_o will_v live_v a_o little_a long_o at_o ease_n and_o have_v a_o little_a more_o wealth_n but_o be_v not_o come_v to_o a_o resolute_a peremptory_a will_n that_o have_v only_o a_o weak_a inclination_n which_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o in_o a_o match_n the_o will_n must_v be_v complete_a and_o it_o be_v needful_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o must_v continue_v all_o a_o man_n life_n again_o it_o must_v be_v a_o deliberate_a will_n and_o this_o exclude_v all_o those_o that_o will_v take_v christ_n in_o a_o good_a mood_n on_o some_o sudden_a flash_n when_o they_o be_v affect_v at_o a_o good_a sermon_n and_o have_v some_o good_a motion_n cast_v into_o their_o mind_n that_o will_v at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v content_a to_o take_v christ_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n and_o give_v over_o their_o former_a lust_n but_o the_o will_n be_v not_o deliberate_a last_o of_o all_o as_o it_o must_v be_v complete_a and_o deliberate_a so_o it_o must_v be_v a_o true_a will_n that_o be_v it_o must_v be_v free_a and_o that_o exclude_v all_o they_o that_o mere_o for_o servile_a fear_n at_o time_n of_o death_n in_o the_o day_n of_o sickness_n and_o trouble_n when_o hell_n and_o heaven_n be_v present_v to_o they_o will_v take_v christ_n indeed_o you_o can_v scarce_o come_v to_o any_o but_o in_o such_o a_o case_n he_o will_v profess_v that_o he_o be_v now_o content_a to_o take_v christ_n for_o his_o lord_n and_o savionr_n but_o this_o be_v do_v by_o constraint_n and_o so_o the_o will_n be_v not_o free_a so_o i_o say_v when_o all_o these_o concur_v the_o match_n be_v now_o make_v and_o you_o be_v justify_v but_o after_o the_o match_n be_v make_v it_o something_o be_v require_v therefore_o there_o be_v one_o question_n more_o and_o that_o be_v what_o be_v this_o that_o be_v require_v after_o the_o make_n of_o the_o match_n i_o answer_v ans._n it_o be_v require_v that_o you_o love_v your_o husband_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n and_o become_v one_o spirit_n with_o he_o as_o you_o be_v one_o flesh_n with_o your_o wife_n for_o you_o be_v now_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n 2._o again_o it_o be_v now_o require_v that_o you_o shall_v repent_v and_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n 3.2_o repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n i_o tell_v you_o of_o a_o kingdom_n and_o a_o great_a kingdom_n but_o no_o man_n can_v come_v into_o that_o kingdom_n except_o he_o repent_v you_o must_v walk_v no_o long_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n you_o must_v have_v your_o flesh_n crucify_v with_o all_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n of_o it_o three_o you_o must_v part_v with_o every_o thing_n for_o his_o sake_n whether_o you_o have_v riches_n or_o honour_n or_o credit_n or_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n you_o must_v be_v ready_a to_o let_v they_o all_o go_v 4._o again_o you_o must_v be_v ready_a to_o undergo_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o sake_n you_o must_v have_v he_o for_o worse_a as_o well_o as_o for_o better_a you_o must_v be_v content_a to_o be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o his_o sake_n you_o must_v take_v up_o your_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o 5._o again_o you_o must_v do_v much_o aswell_o as_o as_o suffer_v much_o for_o he_o he_o die_v to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v purchase_v to_o he_o a_o peculiar_a people_n 2.14_o zealous_a of_o good_a work_n you_o must_v respect_v he_o as_o a_o wife_n do_v her_o husband_n not_o as_o a_o servant_n do_v a_o hard_a master_n you_o must_v not_o look_v on_o his_o commandment_n as_o a_o hard_a task_n whereof_o you_o can_v willing_o be_v excuse_v but_o as_o one_o that_o have_v his_o heart_n inflame_v to_o walk_v in_o they_o as_o a_o love_a wife_n that_o need_v not_o to_o be_v bid_v to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o but_o i●_n the_o do_v of_o it_o may_v advantage_n her_o husband_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a grief_n to_o she_o to_o let_v they_o lie_v undo_v then_o labour_v to_o do_v they_o object_n but_o now_o man_n say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a condition_n i_o little_o think_v of_o it_o ans._n it_o be_v true_a the_o condition_n be_v hard_a and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o so_o few_o be_v willing_a to_o come_v in_o when_o they_o understand_v these_o after-clap_a condition_n that_o they_o must_v part_v with_o all_o that_o they_o must_v be_v persecute_v that_o their_o will_n must_v be_v perfect_o subject_a to_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o must_v be_v holy_a as_o he_o
