therefore_o every_o little_a clod_n will_v do_v it_o so_o christ_n our_o head_n that_o have_v abundance_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n we_o will_v

in_o this_o and_o that_o course_n whether_o he_o shall_v do_v this_o or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n or_o that_o he_o have_v it_o in_o a_o very_a little_a measure_n because_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o convince_a thing_n as_o light_v it_o convince_v a_o man_n he_o do_v not_o doubt_n of_o that_o that_o he_o see_v at_o noon_n day_n so_o that_o that_o a_o man_n see_v by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v convince_v of_o when_o a_o man_n doubt_n and_o waver_v whether_o he_o shall_v take_v a_o good_a course_n or_o a_o bad_a and_o waver_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v carnal_a and_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o if_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n it_o will_v convince_v he_o and_o set_v he_o down_o you_o must_v take_v this_o course_n if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v what_o that_o be_v say_v to_o convince_v that_o say_v more_o for_o a_o thing_n then_o any_o thing_n can_v say_v against_o it_o now_o when_o a_o man_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n he_o can_v say_v more_o for_o god_n and_o for_o good_a thing_n and_o good_a way_n then_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n by_o discouragement_n can_v say_v against_o they_o therefore_o when_o a_o man_n can_v say_v any_o thing_n for_o god_n and_o for_o good_a cause_n to_o purpose_n he_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v so_o convince_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v answer_v all_o cavil_n and_o objection_n the_o argument_n be_v wondrous_a large_a i_o give_v you_o but_o a_o taste_n to_o know_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o or_o no._n in_o a_o word_n christ._n if_o christ_n be_v that_o spirit_n and_o have_v infuse_v the_o spirit_n into_o we_o it_o will_v make_v we_o like_o he_o it_o will_v transform_v we_o into_o his_o likeness_n it_o

in_o other_o portio●●_n of_o scripture_n therefore_o that_o you_o may_v get_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n spirit_n take_v these_o direction_n we_o must_v go_v to_o christ_n christ._n study_n christ_n if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o spirit_n study_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o before_o christ_n there_o be_v so_o little_a spirit_n in_o comparison_n there_o be_v but_o

to_o merit_n and_o to_o the_o pope_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n they_o divide_v christ_n they_o know_v he_o not_o and_o divide_v christ_n they_o want_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o want_v that_o spirit_n they_o teach_v not_o christ_n as_o they_o shall_v they_o be_v dark_a time_n as_o themselves_o confess_v especial_o about_o nine_o hundred_o and_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n because_o christ_n be_v veil_a then_o in_o a_o world_n of_o idle_a ceremony_n to_o darken_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o victory_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o pope_n make_v who_o be_v the_o vicar_n of_o satan_n these_o be_v the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n then_o and_o christ_n be_v hide_v and_o wrap_v in_o a_o company_n of_o idle_a tradition_n and_o ceremony_n of_o man_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o thing_n be_v obscure_a now_o when_o christ_n and_o all_o good_a thing_n by_o christ_n comfortable_a and_o by_o christ_n only_o be_v discover_v the_o veil_n be_v take_v off_o now_o of_o late_a for_o these_o hundred_o year_n in_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n there_o have_v be_v more_o spirit_n and_o more_o light_a somenesse_n and_o comfort_n christian_n have_v live_v and_o die_v more_o comfortable_o why_o because_o christ_n have_v be_v more_o know_v and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o church_n so_o it_o be_v with_o particular_a christian_n the_o more_o they_o study_v christ_n and_o the_o fullness_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o all_o comfort_n in_o he_o alone_o to_o be_v have_v wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n the_o more_o man_n grow_v up_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n the_o more_o they_o grow_v spiritual_a and_o the_o more_o spiritual_a they_o grow_v the_o more_o they_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o spirit_n let_v we_o come_v near_o to_o christ_n and_o labour_n to_o know_v he_o more_o who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o that_o be_v spiritual_a then_o again_o if_o we_o will_v be_v spiritual_a christ._n let_v we_o take_v heed_n we_o trust_v not_o too_o much_o to_o dead_a thing_n without_o christ_n to_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o popery_n in_o

all_o these_o though_o he_o hear_v never_o so_o much_o and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n never_o so_o often_o if_o a_o man_n go_v not_o to_o christ_n the_o quicken_a spirit_n in_o this_o manner_n lord_n these_o and_o my_o soul_n too_o be_v dead_a thing_n without_o thy_o spirit_n therefore_o quicken_v i_o join_v christ_n with_o all_o our_o performance_n without_o which_o all_o be_v nothing_o and_o then_o he_o will_v be_v spiritual_a to_o we_o and_o when_o we_o go_v to_o christ_n mean_n for_o the_o spirit_n as_o we_o must_v beg_v it_o if_o we_o will_v have_v it_o god_n will_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o remember_v that_o we_o use_v the_o mean_n careful_o read_v and_o hear_v and_o holy_a communion_n of_o saint_n because_o though_o these_o without_o the_o spirit_n can_v do_v nothing_o yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o give_v but_o by_o these_o these_o be_v the_o golden_a conduit_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n no_o man_n be_v ever_o spiritual_a but_o they_o be_v reader_n and_o hearer_n and_o conferrer_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o attender_n upon_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n because_o god_n will_v work_v by_o his_o own_o tool_n and_o instrument_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v revel_v 1._o that_o john_n be_v full_a of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n let_v a_o christian_a sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n as_o he_o shall_v do_v he_o will_v be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n more_o than_o on_o other_o day_n why_o because_o than_o he_o be_v read_v and_o hear_v and_o confer_v and_o in_o some_o spiritual_a course_n and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a course_n the_o more_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n john_n be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o much_o for_o those_o

he_o be_v above_o all_o and_o see_v all_o beneath_o he_o therefore_o the_o great_a man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v holy_a man_n they_o be_v above_o all_o other_o man_n man_n and_o without_o usurpation_n they_o pass_v a_o censure_n upon_o the_o course_n and_o state_n of_o other_o man_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o great_a howsoever_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o

of_o nature_n now_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n he_o be_v take_v into_o a_o better_a condition_n and_o have_v a_o spiritual_a liberty_n in_o he_o he_o judge_v all_o thing_n and_o be_v

where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n to_o judge_v all_o thing_n as_o far_o as_o they_o come_v within_o their_o reach_n and_o calling_n to_o judge_v aright_o of_o all_o thing_n therefore_o we_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o maintain_v the_o credit_n of_o a_o christian_a that_o be_v to_o maintain_v a_o liberty_n independent_a upon_o all_o but_o god_n and_o other_o thing_n with_o

when_o we_o can_v resist_v strong_a temptation_n when_o we_o be_v not_o like_a child_n carry_v away_o with_o the_o wind_n of_o every_o doctrine_n this_o be_v a_o glorious_a thing_n when_o a_o
