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

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

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

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

have_v it_o put_v case_n there_o be_v all_o these_o which_o be_v excellent_a good_a thing_n but_o what_o be_v all_o these_o without_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n a_o man_n may_v be_v dead_a with_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

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

nor_o no_o strength_n at_o all_o nor_o no_o strength_n at_o all_o in_o our_o nature_n do_v god_n expect_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v any_o thing_n from_o ourselves_o we_o who_o expect_v any_o thing_n from_o a_o barren_a wilderness_n our_o heart_n be_v such_o god_n know_v it_o well_o enough_o there_o be_v no_o goodness_n in_o we_o no_o more_o than_o there_o be_v moisture_n in_o a_o stone_n or_o a_o

and_o little_a he_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v depend_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o spirit_n in_o all_o thing_n we_o do_v therefore_o christian_n be_v much_o to_o blame_v they_o think_v to_o work_v and_o to_o hew_v out_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v a_o do_v with_o their_o own_o heart_n as_o if_o they_o have_v a_o principle_n of_o grace_n in_o themselves_o as_o of_o themselves_o and_o they_o may_v long_o enough_o work_v that_o way_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o way_n but_o acknowledgement_n that_o in_o ourselves_o as_o of_o ourselves_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n we_o can_v so_o much_o by_o all_o the_o power_n in_o the_o world_n as_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n if_o we_o shall_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n there_o can_v rise_v out_o of_o our_o heart_n a_o good_a desire_n of_o ourselves_o all_o be_v out_o of_o we_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o thereupon_o we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o it_o in_o ourselves_o but_o go_v to_o god_n for_o his_o holy_a sp●rit_n go_v to_o christ_n for_o his_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n proceed_v from_o they_o both_o that_o he_o will_v enlighten_v we_o and_o

we_o despair_v when_o once_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n when_o we_o have_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o spirit_n in_o our_o head_n christ_n and_o he_o can_v derive_v his_o spirit_n as_o he_o

despair_v when_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n who_o be_v complete_a and_o in_o he_o we_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n grace_v answerable_a for_o grace_n in_o he_o let_v none_o presume_v that_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n of_o himself_o fall_v for_o you_o see_v how_o god_n suffer_v holy_a man_n to_o miscarry_v it_o be_v folly_n in_o this_o case_n in_o peter_n to_o presume_v of_o his_o own_o

with_o we_o all_o when_o we_o presume_v upon_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o part_n we_o must_v not_o come_v to_o this_o holy_a place_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o

the_o lord_n nothing_o work_v above_o his_o own_o sphere_n it_o be_v above_o the_o pow●r_n of_o nature_n to_o work_v any_o thing_n supernatural_a therefore_o if_o we_o will_v profit_v by_o the_o word_n come_v not_o with_o presumptuous_a spirit_n but_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n that_o his_o spirit_n may_v clothe_v the_o ministry_n with_o vigour_n and_o power_n that_o he_o may_v convey_v holy_a truth_n into_o our_o heart_n and_o make_v they_o effectual_a for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o inward_a and_o of_o the_o outward_a man_n than_o we_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n bless_v all_o mean_n whatsoever_o without_o which_o all_o mean_n be_v dead_a therefore_o we_o must_v open_v as_o that_o flower_n that_o open_v and_o shut_v as_o
