or_o of_o our_o redemption_n &_o justification_n by_o he_o yea_o speak_v of_o that_o high_a and_o weighty_a heaven_n of_o glory_n wherewith_o the_o elect_v be_v crown_v all_o this_o move_v not_o we_o be_v little_o affect_v therewith_o unless_o god_n give_v we_o of_o this_o good_a spirit_n to_o profit_v by_o the_o same_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o with_o good_a reason_n give_v this_o precept_n and_o we_o for_o many_o cause_n be_v to_o lysten_v unto_o it_o least_o by_o any_o mean_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v quench_v in_o we_o and_o so_o we_o deprive_v ourselves_o of_o all_o the_o fruit_n now_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o may_v appear_v he_o speak_v to_o those_o that_o have_v already_o receyve_v it_o for_o as_o the_o fire_n can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v quench_v where_o it_o be_v not_o so_o they_o can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o quench_v or_o loose_v the_o spirit_n which_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o receive_v the_o spirit_n then_o know_v that_o this_o precept_n do_v proper_o belong_v to_o they_o that_o have_v receyve_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o they_o especial_o be_v to_o make_v a_o special_a use_n of_o it_o for_o the_o other_o it_o can_v not_o profit_v they_o unless_o that_o as_o the_o seed_n lie_v in_o the_o ground_n a_o long_a time_n do_v afterward_o bud_v and_o become_v fruitful_a so_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o mind_n till_o they_o have_v taste_v in_o some_o good_a sort_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o then_o breed_v in_o they_o some_o carefulness_n that_o they_o do_v not_o quench_v it_o well_o then_o to_o they_o that_o have_v feel_v and_o find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o they_o to_o they_o say_v s._n paul_n in_o this_o place_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o this_o if_o we_o do_v somewhat_o serious_o consider_v these_o question_n will_v offer_v themselves_o and_o soon_o arise_v in_o our_o mind_n first_o how_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o no._n second_o if_o we_o have_v it_o whether_o it_o may_v be_v lose_v or_o no_o which_o if_o they_o be_v well_o and_o sufficient_o consider_v will_v doubtless_o give_v great_a force_n to_o this_o precept_n for_o the_o first_o if_o we_o will_v know_v whether_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o no_o we_o must_v sure_o understand_v that_o as_o he_o know_v that_o he_o have_v life_n which_o feel_v it_o in_o himself_o so_o he_o best_a know_v whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o feel_v the_o spirit_n work_v in_o he_o if_o we_o will_v further_o know_v by_o the_o peculiar_a work_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v these_o first_o of_o all_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o man_n but_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n if_o nothing_o but_o that_o may_v be_v obtain_v by_o the_o nature_n and_o industry_n of_o a_o man_n then_o sure_o in_o that_o man_n be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v from_o god_n it_o be_v from_o above_o it_o be_v above_o nature_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v set_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n when_o he_o say_v we_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o of_o god_n beside_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a and_o endure_v for_o ever_o but_o all_o the_o do_n and_o devise_n of_o man_n they_o perish_v and_o in_o time_n have_v a_o end_n therefore_o though_o a_o man_n have_v wisdom_n with_o great_a knowledge_n though_o in_o wit_n and_o skill_n he_o pass_v and_o excel_v the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n yet_o if_o from_o above_o he_o have_v not_o be_v inlyghtn_v if_o from_o heaven_n his_o wisdom_n be_v not_o sanctify_v his_o knowledge_n shall_v decay_v his_o wisdom_n wyther_o like_o grass_n and_o as_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o taste_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o endure_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o say_v s._n paul_n we_o teach_v the_o mystery_n of_o god_n which_o none_o no_o not_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n which_o be_v above_o other_o most_o excellent_a be_v not_o able_a to_o understande_v second_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v in_o thou_o any_o alteration_n or_o change_n for_o the_o wise_a man_n that_o be_v expert_a in_o nature_n can_v say_v that_o in_o every_o generation_n there_o be_v a_o corruption_n so_o that_o as_o seed_v in_o the_o ground_n so_o sin_n in_o our_o natural_a body_n shall_v decay_v that_o the_o new_a man_n may_v be_v raise_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n take_v possession_n in_o our_o soul_n therefore_o the_o evangelist_n john_n do_v make_v this_o the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o it_o shall_v rebuke_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o so_o needful_a that_o without_o it_o there_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n neither_o yet_o can_n christ_n come_v and_o enter_v into_o that_o man_n hereof_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n compare_v the_o jew_n to_o child_n in_o the_o market_n place_n who_o will_v not_o dance_v though_o they_o be_v pipe_v unto_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o have_v not_o first_o learn_v with_o john_n to_o mourn_v for_o they_o that_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o john_n learned_a to_o lament_v their_o sin_n for_o their_o sin_n be_v pensive_a nay_o rather_o their_o own_o soul_n they_o receive_v christ_n they_o dance_v and_o rejoice_v to_o hear_v the_o joyful_a tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o christ_n say_v that_o the_o whore_n and_o harlot_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n see_v they_o lament_v their_o sin_n before_o the_o proud_a pharisee_n which_o with_o no_o remorse_n be_v touch_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n call_v unto_o he_o they_o only_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a load_v teach_v they_o that_o if_o they_o find_v not_o sin_v a_o heavy_a load_n and_o burden_n to_o they_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n neither_o be_v they_o fit_v to_o receive_v christ._n then_o to_o be_v rebuke_v of_o sin_n be_v the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o the_o spirit_n work_v in_o we_o by_o these_o degree_n first_o it_o raise_v upon_o we_o a_o great_a and_o general_a astonishment_n because_o of_o all_o these_o great_a and_o grievous_a sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o this_o do_v strike_v we_o down_o it_o do_v terrify_v we_o and_o hold_v we_o amaze_v wonderful_o than_o it_o deal_v with_o we_o more_o particular_o and_o beside_o that_o it_o bring_v we_o unto_o a_o special_a grief_n for_o special_a sin_n do_v bereave_v we_o of_o our_o chief_a desire_n and_o bring_v we_o out_o of_o conceit_n of_o the_o best_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o than_o it_o do_v display_v unto_o we_o the_o vanity_n and_o darkness_n of_o our_o understanding_n how_o unfit_a and_o unmeete_a we_o be_v to_o understande_v and_o conceive_v the_o thing_n that_o do_v above_o all_o other_o especial_o concern_v we_o then_o do_v it_o let_v we_o see_v the_o perverse_a corruption_n of_o our_o judgement_n that_o before_o god_n and_o in_o thing_n belong_v to_o god_n we_o be_v bruit_n beast_n not_o able_a to_o discern_v thing_n that_o differ_v nor_o to_o put_v a_o sound_n difference_n between_o good_a and_o evyll_n then_o do_v it_o let_v we_o see_v that_o our_o reason_n be_v unreasonable_a nay_o that_o it_o be_v hurtful_a unto_o we_o a_o great_a enemy_n to_o faith_n and_o a_o great_a patron_n of_o infidelity_n and_o unbelief_n when_o it_o come_v to_o our_o affection_n it_o turn_v they_o upside_o down_o it_o turn_v our_o mirth_n into_o mourning_n and_o pleasure_n into_o paynefulnesse_n and_o our_o great_a delight_n into_o most_o bitter_a grief_n if_o it_o proceed_v further_o and_o come_v once_o to_o the_o hart_n and_o to_o the_o stomach_n and_o courage_n that_o be_v in_o we_o than_o it_o cut_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a then_o do_v it_o at_o once_o throw_v we_o down_o in_o humility_n under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o while_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o man_n we_o be_v as_o stout_a as_o any_o and_o will_v not_o start_v for_o the_o best_a we_o have_v reason_n to_o see_v for_o ourselves_o and_o courage_n to_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o all_o they_o that_o do_v deal_v with_o we_o but_o now_o the_o spirit_n draw_v we_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n it_o let_v we_o see_v that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o that_o our_o strength_n be_v weakness_n in_o respect_n of_o he_o then_o our_o heart_n begin_v to_o fail_v we_o then_o do_v we_o lay_v
