this_o may_v make_v you_o fear_v and_o tremble_v word_n so_o you_o may_v see_v there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o this_o doctrine_n now_o we_o will_v make_v a_o little_a use_n of_o it_o and_o so_o end_n first_o if_o it_o be_v christ_n work_n if_o it_o be_v he_o that_o must_v begin_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o creature_n than_o you_o see_v what_o business_n we_o have_v in_o hand_n that_o be_v preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n our_o business_n be_v to_o make_v man_n other_o creature_n which_o be_v a_o transcendent_a work_n it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n this_o be_v the_o errand_n we_o be_v send_v about_o and_o the_o work_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o do_v every_o sabbath_n and_o every_o sermon_n which_o we_o preach_v to_o you_o to_o turn_v lion_n into_o lamb_n to_o transform_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o to_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n this_o i_o speak_v of_o not_o for_o our_o sake_n but_o for_o you_o that_o you_o may_v make_v use_n of_o it_o you_o must_v learn_v to_o know_v when_o you_o hear_v the_o word_n what_o action_n you_o have_v in_o hand_n and_o who_o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o that_o be_v with_o the_o almighty_a god_n and_o not_o with_o man_n for_o alas_o my_o brethren_n what_o be_v we_o able_a to_o do_v ephes._n 2.10_o you_o be_v god_n workmanship_n in_o jesus_n christ_n create_v to_o good_a work_n that_o you_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o it_o be_v true_a we_o be_v the_o instrument_n but_o you_o be_v god_n workmanship_n take_v the_o best_a instrument_n wherewith_o we_o make_v any_o artificial_a thing_n a_o axe_n or_o a_o chisell_n or_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v you_o know_v if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o influence_n from_o the_o artificer_n it_o will_v make_v no_o artificial_a thing_n it_o will_v strike_v when_o you_o use_v it_o but_o it_o will_v not_o make_v any_o artificial_a thing_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o influence_n from_o the_o artificer_n so_o we_o be_v instrument_n and_o the_o word_n be_v a_o instrument_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o influence_n from_o god_n the_o work_n will_v not_o be_v do_v you_o will_v never_o be_v make_v new_a creature_n therefore_o you_o be_v god_n workmanship_n create_v to_o good_a work_n he_o do_v it_o and_o remember_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o he_o you_o have_v a_o elegant_a expression_n of_o it_o in_o 2_o cor._n 3.2_o you_o be_v christ_n epistle_n administer_v by_o we_o and_o write_v not_o with_o ink_n but_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v write_v in_o your_o heart_n you_o know_v regeneration_n be_v in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n a_o write_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n then_o there_o be_v a_o writing_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o saint_n be_v call_v a_o epistle_n but_o they_o be_v christ_n epistle_n we_o be_v the_o pen_n and_o he_o be_v the_o writer_n he_o handle_v the_o pen_n and_o what_o shall_v the_o pen_n do_v when_o there_o be_v paper_n and_o no_o ink_n will_v there_o be_v any_o epistle_n write_v now_o what_o be_v that_o you_o be_v christ_n epistle_n not_o write_v with_o ink_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o do_v but_o apply_v the_o pen_n to_o the_o paper_n but_o if_o god_n put_v not_o ink_n into_o the_o pen_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n nothing_o will_v be_v write_v in_o your_o heart_n therefore_o remember_v what_o you_o have_v to_o do_v and_o with_o who_o not_o with_o we_o for_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o not_o paul_n or_o apollo_n mighty_a in_o scripture_n we_o be_v the_o minister_n by_o who_o you_o believe_v it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o we_o be_v but_o those_o by_o who_o you_o believe_v peter_n if_o that_o ever_o any_o man_n be_v able_a so_o to_o do_v it_o he_o be_v that_o have_v his_o tongue_n set_v on_o fire_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o galath_n 2.8_o he_o that_o be_v mighty_a by_o peter_n over_o the_o circumcision_n god_n be_v mighty_a by_o peter_n but_o the_o work_n be_v none_o of_o he_o we_o be_v the_o ram_n horn_n but_o who_o throw_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n be_v we_o able_a to_o do_v it_o no_o my_o brethren_n no_o more_o than_o peter_n be_v able_a to_o open_v the_o iron-gate_n it_o be_v true_a when_o peter_n come_v to_o they_o they_o open_v and_o not_o before_o but_o it_o be_v the_o angel_n that_o do_v it_o so_o when_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n there_o be_v everlasting_a door_n can_v we_o open_v the_o iron-gate_n no_o more_o than_o any_o man_n can_v open_v iron-doore_n therefore_o lidia_n heart_n be_v open_v else_o paul_n may_v have_v preach_v long_o enough_o in_o vain_a in_o luke_n the_o last_o chapter_n he_o open_v their_o understanding_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v the_o scripture_n if_o he_o have_v not_o open_v their_o understanding_n as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o have_v do_v they_o no_o good_a when_o he_o preach_v to_o they_o as_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o but_o hence_o you_o will_v say_v fear_n of_o what_o use_n be_v this_o to_o we_o that_o god_n do_v it_o it_o be_v of_o much_o use_n therefore_o when_o you_o come_v to_o this_o place_n every_o sabbath_n day_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n when_o you_o see_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o mighty_a god_n we_o be_v the_o pen_n it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o learn_v to_o come_v with_o reverence_n and_o fear_n learn_v to_o say_v of_o this_o place_n as_o jacob_n do_v when_o he_o see_v god_n when_o he_o see_v the_o ladder_n and_o angel_n ascend_v and_o descend_v sure_o this_o be_v a_o fearful_a place_n and_o no_o other_o than_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o house_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v of_o it_o before_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v sermon_n as_o lecture_n and_o declamation_n to_o have_v your_o understanding_n better_v but_o you_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o house_n of_o god_n you_o see_v not_o god_n stand_v over_o we_o you_o shall_v overlook_v we_o it_o be_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v you_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n ordinary_o if_o you_o go_v not_o through_o this_o gate_n it_o be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o when_o you_o come_v hither_o your_o eye_n must_v be_v upon_o he_o more_o than_o upon_o we_o expect_v and_o wait_v what_o god_n will_v do_v on_o you_o heart_n in_o such_o a_o time_n if_o you_o come_v and_o hear_v and_o god_n have_v do_v nothing_o observe_v that_o and_o say_v it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v withheld_a his_o hand_n therefore_o my_o heart_n be_v not_o quicken_v at_o this_o sermon_n if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v know_v it_o be_v a_o sparkle_v kindle_v from_o heaven_n therefore_o cherish_v it_o look_v well_o to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o spark_n kindle_v from_o heaven_n therefore_o do_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o law_n see_v what_o david_n do_v on_o the_o altar_n which_o he_o build_v on_o mount_n moriah_n when_o the_o altar_n be_v build_v they_o lay_v the_o wood_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o look_v to_o god_n when_o he_o will_v send_v fire_n from_o heaven_n so_o we_o be_v the_o wood_n look_v to_o god_n for_o fire_n if_o you_o can_v get_v a_o spark_n be_v sure_a to_o maintain_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o priest_n when_o they_o have_v a_o little_a fire_n from_o heaven_n they_o always_o give_v fuel_n they_o never_o let_v it_o go_v out_o again_o look_v to_o it_o diligent_o if_o you_o have_v get_v a_o spark_n from_o heaven_n let_v it_o not_o go_v out_o again_o as_o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o many_o thousand_o to_o do_v there_o may_v be_v spark_n and_o you_o may_v heat_v yourselves_o by_o they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v but_o fire_n from_o earht_n when_o a_o sacrifice_n be_v kindle_v by_o common_a fire_n god_n accept_v it_o not_o though_o it_o burn_v as_o other_o fire_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n moral_a reason_n and_o natural_a wisdom_n may_v kindle_v a_o fire_n that_o may_v be_v very_o like_o true_a fire_n but_o it_o be_v not_o from_o heaven_n therefore_o come_v with_o much_o fear_n to_o this_o place_n like_o man_n that_o have_v your_o eye_n on_o god_n seek_v he_o not_o for_o fashion_n and_o know_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o god_n send_v not_o his_o spirit_n from_o heaven_n again_o you_o will_v say_v what_o use_n be_v there_o of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o and_o not_o man_n i_o say_v therefore_o only_o give_v the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o to_o god_n give_v it_o not_o to_o we_o but_o to_o he_o

false_a ground_n may_v be_v as_o secure_a as_o another_o that_o have_v peace_n on_o the_o best_a ground_n and_o this_o imitate_v true_a faith_n so_o a_o man_n that_o be_v natural_o meek_a may_v carry_v it_o better_o than_o one_o that_o have_v true_a meekness_n therefore_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o find_v the_o difference_n but_o if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o principle_n whence_o they_o come_v the_o master_n who_o they_o serve_v you_o shall_v find_v they_o may_v be_v good_a all_o the_o way_n but_o not_o at_o the_o journey_n end_n they_o have_v a_o ill_a scope_n they_o aim_v at_o a_o wrong_a mark_n let_v they_o have_v what_o they_o will_v circumcision_n nor_o uncircumcision_n avail_v nothing_o unless_o they_o be_v new_a creature_n else_o god_n regard_v they_o not_o and_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o excuse_n excuse_n now_o add_v this_o to_o the_o rest_n labour_v to_o aggravate_v your_o sin_n by_o remove_v the_o excuse_n which_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v witty_a to_o invent_v use_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o humble_v you_o and_o to_o work_v these_o thing_n on_o your_o heart_n and_o that_o be_v his_o word_n word_n jer._n 23.29_o be_v not_o my_o word_n as_o fire_n and_o as_o the_o hammer_n that_o break_v the_o stone_n the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n be_v to_o show_v the_o power_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n pure_o what_o be_v the_o chaff_n to_o the_o wheat_n you_o shall_v know_v my_o word_n and_o distinguish_v it_o from_o the_o word_n of_o man_n my_o word_n when_o it_o be_v right_a be_v as_o a_o fire_n which_o melt_v and_o thaw_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o as_o a_o hammer_n to_o break_v their_o strong_a and_o stony_a heart_n come_v to_o the_o word_n powerful_o preach_v as_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n deliver_v in_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o soften_v the_o heart_n and_o break_v thy_o stubborn_a spirit_n as_o a_o hammer_n and_o fire_n not_o suffer_v thou_o to_o be_v at_o rest_n until_o thou_o come_v under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o bondage_n and_o if_o with_o this_o thou_o be_v not_o satisfy_v go_v one_o step_n further_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thou_o must_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n else_o thou_o can_v expect_v no_o power_n all_o that_o we_o have_v say_v in_o draw_v this_o map_n of_o sin_n in_o add_v these_o aggravation_n and_o remove_v these_o excuse_n be_v nothing_o if_o god_n give_v not_o a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n to_o cause_v you_o to_o fear_v for_o it_o be_v that_o that_o make_v the_o law_n effectual_a as_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n make_v the_o gospel_n no_o man_n without_o it_o can_v see_v sin_n with_o a_o save_n and_o feel_a sight_n but_o how_o do_v it_o work_v this_o effect_n in_o a_o man_n heart_n man_n not_o by_o make_v he_o fear_n god_n as_o a_o slave_n for_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v not_o do_v therefore_o that_o be_v not_o a_o act_n we_o can_v attribute_v to_o he_o but_o my_o meaning_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n enlighten_v a_o man_n to_o see_v his_o sin_n and_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n against_o it_o and_o to_o judge_v of_o his_o estate_n with_o a_o righteous_a judgement_n and_o when_o he_o see_v thing_n as_o they_o be_v he_o know_v and_o feel_v the_o bondage_n he_o be_v in_o before_o though_o before_o he_o feel_v it_o not_o i_o say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n enlighten_v we_o which_o enlighten_v discover_v to_o we_o and_o convince_v we_o of_o sin_n and_o then_o we_o look_v on_o the_o law_n and_o there_o find_v curse_v be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o these_o commandment_n to_o do_v they_o then_o observe_v our_o heart_n and_o see_v how_o far_o we_o be_v from_o that_o rectitude_n the_o law_n require_v our_o spirit_n begin_v to_o fear_v like_o a_o man_n in_o bondage_n that_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o prison_n and_o in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n therefore_o as_o for_o the_o word_n so_o labour_v for_o this_o spirit_n the_o word_n be_v a_o sharp_a sword_n but_o how_o can_v it_o wound_v we_o without_o a_o arm_n to_o handle_v it_o and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v that_o you_o will_v easy_o do_v the_o thing_n i_o have_v exhort_v you_o to_o do_v that_o be_v you_o will_v then_o come_v to_o christ_n you_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o cheapen_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o you_o will_v buy_v it_o though_o you_o give_v all_o you_o have_v for_o it_o and_o yet_o will_v think_v you_o have_v a_o good_a bargain_n you_o will_v not_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o such_o a_o lazy_a and_o lax_n and_o remiss_a manner_n as_o you_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v but_o will_v take_v it_o violent_o and_o if_o you_o come_v to_o god_n after_o this_o manner_n if_o you_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o yourselves_o and_o see_v what_o your_o own_o righteousness_n be_v that_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v your_o turn_n and_o therefore_o seek_v for_o a_o righteousness_n at_o his_o hand_n you_o may_v be_v sure_a he_o will_v not_o deny_v you_o you_o may_v see_v what_o paul_n say_v galat._n 3.8_o that_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o seek_v you_o shall_v obtain_v say_v he_o if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v another_o gospel_n or_o if_o i_o myself_o shall_v do_v it_o believe_v not_o the_o angel_n and_o let_v i_o accurse_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o have_v make_v this_o truth_n know_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o mere_a grace_n without_o work_n that_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o christ_n with_o a_o empty_a hand_n bring_v nothing_o with_o you_o if_o any_o man_n now_o shall_v question_v this_o gospel_n and_o think_v to_o bring_v something_o of_o his_o own_o and_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o this_o clear_a promise_n nay_o if_o a_o angel_n come_v from_o heaven_n and_o contradict_v it_o let_v he_o be_v accurse_v this_o be_v the_o true_a gospel_n and_o you_o may_v believe_v it_o if_o you_o can_v therefore_o do_v as_o paul_n do_v philip._n 3.9_o that_o reckon_v all_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v in_o christ_n not_o have_v his_o own_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v through_o faith_n in_o christ._n that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o see_v your_o condition_n you_o desire_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n with_o that_o earnestness_n that_o he_o do_v when_o he_o reckon_v all_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n even_o his_o own_o righteousness_n which_o he_o know_v will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n if_o i_o say_v thou_o can_v thus_o go_v to_o christ_n know_v that_o no_o antecedent_n condition_n be_v

full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o ungodliness_n christ_n can_v deny_v thou_o he_o will_v receive_v the_o to_o mercy_n we_o will_v now_o brief_o come_v to_o the_o next_o point_n and_o that_o be_v this_o there_o be_v a_o revelation_n of_o wrath_n against_o all_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n 2._o man_n and_o that_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o will_v humble_v we_o for_o there_o must_v be_v two_o thing_n to_o do_v it_o one_o be_v to_o see_v our_o sin_n to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o worth_n no_o excellency_n no_o worthiness_n at_o all_o in_o we_o and_o the_o second_o be_v to_o have_v a_o apprehension_n of_o wrath_n due_a for_o sin_n and_o so_o his_o misery_n under_o the_o same_o though_o a_o man_n be_v never_o so_o miserable_a yet_o if_o he_o have_v a_o bottom_n to_o stand_v on_o he_o will_v not_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o when_o he_o see_v his_o own_o nothingnesse_n and_o withal_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n hang_v over_o he_o so_o that_o he_o must_v sink_v utter_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o help_v he_o when_o both_o these_o concur_v a_o man_n be_v humble_v man_n may_v have_v one_o without_o the_o other_o as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n o_o you_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v warn_v you_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v they_o be_v sensible_a of_o wrath_n and_o have_v so_o much_o to_o humble_v they_o but_o they_o do_v not_o see_v that_o viperous_a serpentine_a evil_a disposition_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o again_o many_o man_n may_v see_v their_o sin_n and_o acknowledge_v the_o insufficiency_n
