they_o live_v in_o know_a sin_n now_o concern_v such_o the_o scripture_n also_o speak_v plain_o that_o whosoever_o sin_v willing_o and_o against_o light_n and_o knowledge_n have_v not_o see_v he_o that_o be_v god_n neither_o have_v know_v he_o that_o be_v have_v not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o a_o clear_a sight_n or_o interview_n of_o he_o much_o less_o any_o settle_a experience_a or_o more_o

that_o that_o faith_n or_o dependence_n on_o god_n which_o either_o arise_v out_o of_o a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o he_o or_o be_v accompany_v with_o such_o knowledge_n in_o its_o arise_v always_o prosper_v &_o triumph_v in_o its_o acceptation_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o man_n will_v claim_v friendship_n and_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n and_o will_v needs_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o

out_o of_o righteous_a thought_n and_o apprehension_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n it_o can_v but_o be_v holy_a &_o so_o accept_v with_o he_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o it_o be_v any_o common_a unclean_a or_o pollute_a conceit_n or_o notion_n of_o god_n that_o give_v the_o raise_v and_o advantage_n to_o our_o trust_n or_o be_v the_o basis_n and_o bottom_n of_o our_o dependence_n on_o he_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o such_o trust_n or_o dependence_n be_v profane_v by_o he_o and_o reject_v with_o disdain_n and_o indignation_n as_o for_o example_n the_o wicked_a of_o who_o david_n

as_o in_o the_o place_n last_o mention_v the_o tabernacle_n and_o altar_n and_o so_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n and_o so_o the_o whole_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v thus_o sanctify_v by_o he_o that_o be_v god_n separate_v they_o and_o make_v a_o difference_n and_o distinction_n between_o they_o and_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o person_n in_o the_o world_n with_o relation_n to_o himself_o and_o sometime_o again_o when_o he_o be_v say_v to_o sanctify_v the_o creature_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o real_a and_o positive_a sanctification_n when_o he_o do_v not_o only_o

altogether_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n or_o signification_n for_o man_n be_v say_v sometime_o to_o sanctify_v themselves_o sometime_o other_o thing_n and_o person_n too_o beside_o themselves_o and_o sometime_o god_n himself_o as_o in_o this_o place_n and_o some_o other_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n where_o it_o be_v speak_v with_o reference_n to_o other_o

to_o show_v in_o what_o sense_n the_o creature_n may_v be_v say_v to_o sanctify_v he_o now_o than_o the_o creature_n may_v be_v say_v to_o sanctify_v god_n two_o way_n either_o external_o only_a and_o

from_o those_o passage_n cite_v out_o of_o ezek._n 36._o 23._o and_o i_o will_v sanctify_v my_o great_a name_n which_o be_v pollute_v among_o the_o heathen_a among_o who_o you_o have_v pollute_v it_o and_o the_o heathen_a shall_v know_v that_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n cleerly_n imply_v that_o as_o the_o pollute_a of_o god_n or_o his_o name_n lie_v in_o this_o when_o the_o creature_n be_v tempt_v or_o
