And further, the truth laid open and manifested, to the great consolation and strengthening of such as are distressed and afflicted in minde. Written by the late faithfull seruant of the Lord Mr. Robert Yarrow. And now published for the benefit of such as groning vnder the burthen of an afflicted conscience desire comfort.

and_o discern_v of_o we_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a faith_n or_o no_o until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v so_o grow_v to_o a_o head_n and_o have_v take_v such_o root_n in_o we_o as_o that_o it_o

no_o faith_n at_o all_o wherefore_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a that_o we_o further_o consider_v of_o certain_a particular_n worthy_a observation_n in_o the_o course_n and_o order_n of_o man_n conversion_n first_o therefore_o we_o must_v know_v in_o man_n effectual_a conversion_n that_o as_o man_n by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n be_v utter_o blind_a and_o ignorant_a of_o his_o own_o estate_n for_o his_o foolish_a heart_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n increase_v his_o ignorance_n be_v expel_v and_o knowledge_n increase_v so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o his_o inward_a operation_n join_v with_o

part_n of_o the_o word_n viz._n the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n so_o by_o the_o one_o god_n be_v make_v know_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o judge_n full_a of_o wrath_n and_o anger_n against_o such_o as_o have_v sin_v and_o transgress_v against_o his_o law_n and_o by_o the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o gospel_n he_o be_v reveal_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o most_o love_a father_n full_a of_o grace_n and_o
