perfect_a heart_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o very_a story_n that_o i_o have_v now_o name_v bring_v in_o as_o a_o evidence_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o sound_a that_o his_o faith_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n so_o far_o his_o faith_n go_v thus_o far_o he_o do_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o faith_n that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o perfect_a work_n his_o faith_n have_v not_o another_o example_n be_v in_o rehoboam_n 4._o 2_o chron._n 11._o when_o the_o kingdom_n be_v divide_v and_o give_v to_o jeroboam_fw-la and_o the_o ten_o tribe_n have_v make_v that_o defection_n from_o rehoboam_n he_o gather_v together_o ninescore_o thousand_o fight_a man_n to_o go_v up_o against_o israel_n but_o say_v the_o text_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o shemaiah_n a_o man_n of_o god_n say_v speak_v to_o rehoboam_n the_o son_n of_o salomon_a king_n of_o judah_n and_o to_o all_o israel_n and_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n you_o shall_v not_o go_v up_o to_o fight_v against_o your_o brethren_n return_v every_o man_n to_o his_o house_n for_o this_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o i_o they_o obey_v therefore_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o return_v from_o go_v against_o jeroboam_fw-la you_o see_v here_o a_o very_a great_a work_n of_o faith_n that_o cause_v he_o to_o give_v over_o to_o sit_v down_o to_o be_v content_a to_o lose_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o to_o look_v no_o more_o after_o it_o that_o when_o he_o have_v a_o army_n ready_a of_o valiant_a man_n yet_o he_o be_v conteut_n to_o sit_v down_o though_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o sound-hearted_n yet_o faith_n have_v thus_o far_o a_o work_n in_o he_o and_o not_o only_o for_o this_o time_n but_o for_o three_o year_n after_o he_o cleave_v to_o the_o

lord_n belove_v this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o unsound_a heart_n when_o faith_n shall_v go_v so_o far_o when_o it_o shall_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o do_v many_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o have_v not_o its_o perfect_a work_n we_o see_v the_o contrary_a in_o abraham_n 19_o rom._n 4._o 19_o when_o he_o be_v put_v to_o it_o when_o god_n have_v make_v he_o a_o promise_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n say_v the_o text_n he_o be_v not_o weak_a in_o the_o faith_n the_o meaning_n be_v he_o be_v not_o unsound_a but_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o faith_n what_o do_v he_o do_v how_o do_v that_o appear_v say_v he_o he_o go_v through_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v with_o such_o a_o promise_n he_o consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n that_o be_v dead_a for_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a nor_o he_o consider_v not_o the_o deadness_n of_o sarahs_n womb_n but_o say_v he_o he_o belee●ned_v that_o he_o be_v able_a that_o have_v promise_v this_o be_v give_v as_o a_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o make_v not_o a_o stand_n in_o such_o a_o difficult_a case_n for_o he_o be_v not_o unsound_a but_o he_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o faith_n so_o likewise_o when_o he_o come_v to_o offer_v his_o son_n here_o in_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o faith_n be_v see_v and_o belove_a by_o this_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o your_o heart_n be_v right_a if_o you_o suffer_v every_o grace_n to_o have_v its_o perfect_a work_n when_o your_o faith_n do_v not_o pick_v and_o choose_v and_o take_v here_o a_o promise_n and_o leave_v there_o another_o here_o to_o believe_v a_o threaten_a another_o not_o to_o believe_v here_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o a_o commandment_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o another_o case_n not_o to_o believe_v for_o so_o do_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o unsound_a heart_n if_o you_o object_n object_n but_o faith_n many_o time_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n in_o the_o saint_n as_o moses_n at_o the_o water_n of_o strife_n say_v the_o text_n he_o fail_v through_o unbelief_n and_o again_o david_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o saul_n to_o achis_n we_o see_v his_o faith_n there_o have_v not_o its_o perfect_a work_n so_o likewise_o peter_n when_o the_o wave_n begin_v to_o arise_v to_o swell_v and_o he_o begin_v to_o sink_v his_o faith_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v ans._n that_o faith_n may_v have_v a_o perfect_a work_n that_o be_v there_o may_v be_v a_o aptness_n in_o it_o that_o ordinary_o it_o go_v through_o the_o work_n ●hough_o by_o some_o accident_n it_o may_v be_v hinder_v for_o mark_v the_o faith_n of_o those_o we_o see_v david_n though_o he_o fail_v at_o this_o time_n yet_o at_o other_o time_n he_o do_v not_o no_o more_o do_v moses_n nor_o peter_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o rise_v not_o from_o unsoundnesse_n from_o hollowness_n of_o the_o grace_n or_o of_o their_o heart_n interrupt_v but_o from_o some_o interueniall_a impediment_n some_o passion_n as_o it_o be_v a_o passion_n in_o moses_n he_o be_v distemper_v and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o fear_n a_o mist_n that_o be_v cast_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o peter_n at_o that_o time_n now_o you_o know_v a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o perfect_a eye_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o in_o a_o mist_n he_o may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o see_v as_o at_o other_o time_n and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o perfect_a hand_n and_o yet_o a_o fit_a of_o a_o palsy_n may_v make_v it_o shake_v and_o make_v it_o unfit_a for_o any_o thing_n so_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o perfect_a taste_n able_a to_o distinguish_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o yet_o when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o ague_n in_o such_o a_o fit_a he_o take_v thing_n amiss_o thing_n that_o be_v wholesome_a seem_v bitter_a to_o he_o so_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o may_v be_v sometime_o much_o imperfection_n admit_v when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o mist_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o fit_a when_o some_o distemper_n some_o passion_n or_o affection_n have_v overcast_v and_o overcloud_v the_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v and_o possess_v he_o pallate_n these_o may_v be_v defect_n and_o yet_o the_o grace_n may_v be_v perfect_a but_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o ordinary_o it_o be_v not_o so_o it_o be_v but_o by_o accident_n and_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o now_o and_o then_o and_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n so_o to_o give_v you_o another_o instance_n truth_n or_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n this_o great_a grace_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v sound_a will_v have_v a_o perfect_a work_n it_o will_v go_v through_o it_o will_v not_o make_v a_o stand_v here_o and_o there_o as_o it_o do_v in_o those_o that_o be_v unsound_a as_o you_o see_v rom._n 1._o 18._o 18._o it_o be_v give_v there_o as_o a_o sign_n of_o a_o unrighteous_a man_n when_o they_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n that_o be_v when_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o suffer_v to_o have_v a_o perfect_a work_n when_o there_o be_v truth_n and_o they_o suffer_v it_o perhaps_o to_o inform_v their_o understand_n but_o they_o suffer_v it_o to_o go_v no_o further_o when_o they_o suffer_v it_o not_o to_o walk_v abroad_o into_o all_o the_o corner_n of_o the_o soul_n into_o all_o the_o inward_a room_n of_o it_o or_o if_o they_o do_v that_o yet_o they_o suffer_v it_o not_o to_o come_v into_o the_o outward_a court_n of_o their_o conversation_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o this_o grace_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n
