some_o part_n but_o not_o in_o all_o part_n as_o for_o example_n he_o may_v have_v a_o large_a capacity_n of_o knowledge_n in_o divine_a truth_n yet_o he_o have_v but_o weak_a affection_n to_o god_n or_o it_o may_v be_v his_o affection_n be_v strong_a but_o his_o judgement_n be_v weak_a or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v strong_a in_o both_o that_o be_v he_o know_v the_o good_a and_o after_o his_o manner_n of_o love_a he_o love_v the_o good_a but_o yet_o there_o be_v such_o weakness_n in_o the_o will_n that_o he_o will_v not_o yield_v any_o true_a obedience_n unto_o god_n but_o it_o be_v not_o thus_o in_o the_o spiritual_a strength_n that_o be_v in_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n for_o that_o lead_v he_o unto_o all_o growth_n in_o all_o part_n now_o in_o the_o natural_a growth_n we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a augmentation_n except_o there_o be_v a_o growth_n in_o all_o part_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v grow_v in_o one_o member_n and_o not_o in_o another_o as_o in_o the_o arm_n not_o in_o the_o leg_n we_o will_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o growth_n but_o a_o disease_n and_o that_o many_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n be_v meet_v together_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o sign_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o body_n than_o a_o help_n unto_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n even_o so_o the_o growth_n in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n if_o it_o be_v not_o universal_a rather_o hurt_v then_o help_n that_o be_v it_o rather_o show_v a_o disease_n in_o the_o soul_n than_o the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o true_a spiritual_a strength_n that_o grow_v in_o all_o part_n so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o difference_n the_o second_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_v of_o that_o strength_n it_o have_v another_o alpha_n difference_n and_o omega_n for_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o spiritual_a man_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o word_n of_o god_n as_o thus_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n be_v teach_v he_o out_o of_o god_n word_n hence_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a strength_n convey_v into_o the_o soul_n for_o i_o say_v no_o man_n can_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o this_o spiritual_a strength_n but_o by_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o consider_v what_o the_o goodness_n be_v that_o you_o have_v and_o how_o you_o come_v by_o it_o whether_o it_o come_v by_o the_o gospel_n or_o no_o if_o it_o do_v you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o these_o particular_n first_o examine_v whether_o ever_o you_o be_v humble_v that_o be_v 1._o examine_v whether_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n you_o have_v have_v such_o a_o sight_n of_o sin_n that_o have_v break_v your_o heart_n if_o thus_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o come_v by_o it_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a strength_n for_o this_o be_v the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n when_o it_o come_v to_o change_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o to_o make_v he_o a_o new_a creature_n first_o thorough_o to_o humble_v he_o second_o examine_v whether_o there_o have_v follow_v a_o comfortable_a assurance_n of_o god_n love_n in_o 2._o christ_n which_o have_v not_o only_o wrought_v joy_n and_o comfort_n against_o the_o former_a fear_n but_o also_o a_o long_a desire_n after_o christ_n and_o holiness_n therefore_o if_o the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o you_o be_v thorough_o wrought_v it_o do_v proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n for_o this_o orderly_a proceed_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v make_v it_o manifest_a but_o as_o for_o the_o natural_a strength_n it_o have_v not_o such_o a_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o whole_o wrought_v by_o the_o word_n it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v be_v a_o little_a humble_v and_o comfort_v by_o the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v not_o thorough_o and_o sound_o wrought_v by_o the_o same_o word_n but_o be_v a_o mere_a habitual_a strength_n of_o nature_n pick_v out_o of_o observation_n and_o example_n again_o as_o the_o spiritual_a strength_n have_v a_o different_a beginning_n so_o it_o have_v a_o different_a end_n the_o end_n of_o they_o be_v as_o far_o if_o not_o further_a differ_v as_o their_o beginning_n for_o as_o the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o a_o holy_a man_n arise_v from_o a_o high_a wellhead_n so_o it_o lead_v a_o man_n to_o a_o more_o noble_a end_n than_o the_o natural_a strength_n for_o the_o end_n of_o the_o spiritual_a man_n strength_n be_v god_n glory_n that_o he_o may_v yield_v better_a obedience_n unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v truth_n with_o he_o and_o keep_v in_o with_o he_o that_o he_o may_v have_v more_o familiarity_n with_o he_o and_o more_o confidence_n and_o boldness_n in_o prayer_n in_o a_o word_n that_o he_o may_v be_v fit_a for_o every_o good_a work_n but_o the_o end_n of_o the_o natural_a strength_n be_v his_o own_o end_n his_o own_o profit_n and_o pleasure_n and_o his_o own_o good_a for_o as_o the_o rise_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v high_a so_o the_o end_n be_v high_a as_o for_o example_n water_n be_v lift_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o some_o mountain_n or_o high_a place_n because_o it_o may_v go_v further_o then_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o a_o man_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n he_o be_v set_v up_o high_o for_o another_o end_n and_o that_o be_v to_o please_v god_n and_o not_o himself_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o difference_n the_o three_o difference_n be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v spirituallystrong_a be_v strong_a in_o faith_n the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a difference_n man_n be_v faith_n but_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n be_v but_o moral_a strength_n a_o habitual_a strength_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v faith_n that_o give_v strength_n a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o strong_a man_n in_o christ_n or_o in_o the_o inward_a man_n that_o have_v not_o a_o strong_a faith_n strong_a faith_n make_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n strong_a that_o be_v it_o be_v that_o which_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o spiritual_a man_n and_o a_o natural_a man_n for_o as_o reason_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o beast_n so_o faith_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o holy_a man_n and_o a_o wicked_a man_n as_o for_o example_n take_v a_o philosopher_n that_o do_v excel_v in_o other_o thing_n as_o in_o humane_a knowledge_n such_o go_v beyond_o other_o man_n yet_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o believe_a they_o be_v as_o blind_a as_o beetle_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o one_o see_v and_o do_v all_o thing_n by_o faith_n but_o the_o other_o only_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o same_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o hebr._n 11._o of_o weak_a they_o become_v strong_a that_o be_v because_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o 34._o be_v strong_a in_o the_o faith_n and_o trust_v and_o believe_v and_o hope_v in_o god_n therefore_o they_o become_v strong_a they_o do_v that_o which_o other_o man_n can_v not_o do_v that_o want_v faith_n sisera_n may_v do_v as_o great_a thing_n as_o gideon_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n gideon_n do_v they_o all_o out_o of_o faith_n but_o the_o other_o do_v they_o but_o from_o nature_n and_o so_o socrates_n may_v in_o worldly_a thing_n be_v as_o wise_a as_o paul_n that_o be_v as_o wise_a in_o understanding_n and_o in_o policy_n by_o reason_n of_o excellent_a outward_a part_n as_o paul_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n paul_n do_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o faith_n but_o socrates_n do_v not_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o tim._n 4._o 10._o we_o be_v strong_a because_o we_o stand_v in_o god_n that_o be_v we_o have_v a_o strong_a 10._o faith_n in_o god_n and_o that_o make_v we_o to_o withstand_v all_o the_o assault_n of_o man_n and_o devil_n i_o say_v this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n diogenes_n may_v trample_v under_o his_o foot_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o moses_n but_o moses_n by_o faith_n choose_v rather_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o hebr._n 11._o 24._o faith_n in_o christ_n make_v he_o to_o choose_v grace_n before_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v 24._o not_o thus_o with_o the_o other_o his_o contempt_n of_o earthly_a thing_n be_v not_o out_o of_o faith_n as_o moses_n be_v who_o have_v respect_n unto_o god_n commandment_n and_o to_o his_o promise_n for_o then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o be_v a_o man_n spiritual_o strong_a when_o he_o will_v let_v life_n and_o riches_n and_o honour_n and_o pleasure_n and_o liberty_n and_o all_o go_v for_o christ_n the_o natural_a man_n will_v never_o do_v this_o this_o be_v the_o only_a property_n of_o faith_n a_o supernatural_a
