for_o that_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a as_o to_o separate_v the_o beam_n from_o the_o sun_n for_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v one_o with_o the_o light_n that_o come_v from_o they_o forever_o yea_o as_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v inseparable_a so_o be_v the_o light_n which_o come_v from_o they_o inseparable_a from_o both_o and_o according_o as_o we_o say_v there_o be_v a_o save_a light_n from_o the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n communicate_v unto_o all_o man_n and_o which_o be_v in_o all_o man_n so_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v together_o with_o this_o

hence_o in_o scripture_n every_o good_a thing_n or_o motion_n in_o any_o man_n be_v ascribe_v unto_o god_n himself_o as_o immediate_o present_a the_o immediate_a author_n and_o worker_n of_o it_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o say_v paul_n and_o no_o man_n can_v come_v unto_o i_o say_v christ_n unless_o the_o father_n draw_v he_o and_o say_v christ_n concern_v himself_o without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n no_o man_n come_v unto_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o and_o also_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o man_n salvation_n be_v ascribe_v unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o quickener_n and_o comforter_n so_o that_o this_o heavenly_a seed_n of_o grace_n need_v the_o continual_a influence_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o

of_o the_o visitation_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o they_o and_o also_o how_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o all_o but_o only_o in_o the_o saint_n and_o child_n of_o god_n according_a to_o a_o spiritual_a birth_n and_o union_n the_o three_o part_n of_o this_o treatise_n follow_v in_o which_o the_o objection_n be_v answer_v do_v more_o full_o and_o large_o give_v a_o account_n 3._o and_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n how_o that_o the_o save_n and_o evangelicall_n light_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v communicate_v unto_o all_o man_n in_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n of_o the_o world_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o this_o purpose_n there_o be_v diversity_n of_o administration_n say_v he_o but_o
