people_n may_v ready_o run_v themselves_o when_o we_o be_v about_o to_o prove_v their_o interest_n in_o christ_n as_o 1._o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n to_o think_v that_o every_o one_o who_o be_v in_o

know_v they_o be_v believer_n and_o so_o it_o be_v suppose_v they_o know_v it_o not_o before_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n to_o think_v that_o all_o who_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o interest_n in_o christ_n do_v attain_v a_o equal_a certainty_n about_o the_o same_o one_o may_v say_v he_o be_v persuade_v nothing_o present_a or_o to_o come_v can_v separate_v he_o from_o the_o

psal_n 77._o 7_o 8_o 9_o 4._o it_o be_v also_o a_o mistake_n to_o think_v that_o every_o one_o who_o do_v attain_v a_o good_a knowledge_n of_o their_o gracious_a state_n can_v formal_o answer_v all_o objection_n make_v to_o the_o contrary_a but_o yet_o they_o may_v hold_v fast_o the_o conclusion_n and_o say_v i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 12._o there_o be_v few_o ground_n of_o christian_a religion_n whereof_o many_o people_n be_v so_o persuade_v as_o that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v they_o formal_o against_o all_o argument_n bring_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o yet_o they_o may_v and_o will_v hold_v the_o conclusion_n steadfast_o and_o just_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o mistake_n to_o imagine_v that_o the_o vain_a groundless_a confidence_n which_o many_o profane_a ignorant_a atheist_n do_v maintain_v be_v this_o knowledge_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n which_o we_o plead_v for_o many_o do_v false_o

think_v because_o of_o this_o that_o all_o knowledge_n of_o interest_n be_v a_o delusion_n and_o fancy_n although_o these_o fool_n be_v deceive_v for_o whilst_o thousand_o be_v delude_v some_o can_v say_v on_o good_a and_o solid_a ground_n we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n 1_o joh._n 5._o 19_o have_v premise_v these_o thing_n it_o now_o follow_v that_o we_o give_v some_o mark_n by_o which_o a_o man_n may_v know_v if_o he_o be_v save_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o have_v a_o special_a interest_n in_o christ_n so_o as_o

many_o and_o before_o we_o fall_v upon_o these_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o a_o preparatory_a work_n of_o the_o law_n whereof_o the_o lord_n do_v ordinary_o make_v use_n to_o prepare_v his_o own_o way_n in_o man_n soul_n this_o may_v have_v its_o own_o weight_n as_o a_o mark_n with_o some_o person_n it_o be_v call_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o the_o work_n of_o humiliation_n it_o have_v some_o

only_o here_o let_v it_o be_v remember_v 1._o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o this_o preparatory_a work_n of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o negative_a mark_n of_o true_a interest_n in_o christ_n as_o if_o none_o may_v lay_v claim_n to_o god_n favour_n who_o have_v not_o have_v this_o preparatory_a work_n in_o the_o several_a step_n of_o it_o as_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o for_o as_o we_o shall_v hear_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o always_o keep_v that_o path_n with_o man_n 2._o the_o great_a reason_n why_o we_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o many_o who_o he_o do_v effectual_o call_v by_o some_o such_o preparatory_a work_n and_o to_o those_o who_o have_v be_v so_o deal_v with_o it_o may_v prove_v strengthen_v and_o will_v confirm_v they_o in_o lay_v the_o

hint_n the_o most_o ordinary_a way_n by_o which_o the_o lord_n lead_v people_n into_o the_o covenant_n save_o and_o draw_v they_o unto_o christ_n first_o there_o be_v some_o call_v from_o the_o womb_n
