interest_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v in_o god_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o their_o great_a interest_n in_o god_n be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o ask_v they_o receive_v of_o he_o they_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o by_o his_o title_n jesus_n and_o christ_n the_o commander_n here_o be_v god_n there_o be_v none_o great_a than_o he_o and_o therefore_o his_o command_n be_v of_o

where_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n the_o papist_n believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v and_o such_o a_o faith_n be_v a_o fancy_n rather_o than_o true_a faith_n paul_n say_v i_o know_v in_o who_o

blind_a faith_n second_o in_o believe_v there_o be_v employ_v assent_n of_o the_o understanding_n to_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v propound_v truth_n be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o understanding_n as_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n i_o must_v assent_v unto_o this_o truth_n god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n unto_o himself_o such_o truth_n and_o proposition_n as_o these_o there_o must_v be_v the_o assent_n of_o the_o understanding_n unto_o and_z papist_n will_v go_v thus_o far_o in_o the_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o make_v the_o very_a formal_a nature_n of_o faith_n to_o lie_v in_o assent_n it_o be_v a_o truth_n there_o must_v be_v assent_n but_o assent_n be_v not_o enough_o they_o place_v it_o altogether_o in_o the_o understanding_n and_o fix_v it_o there_o but_o the_o devil_n believe_v and_o tremble_v and_o give_v assent_n unto_o truth_n they_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o give_v assent_v yea_o the_o devil_n believe_v and_o tremble_v therefore_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o though_o this_o be_v require_v and_o necessary_a assent_n there_o must_v be_v but_o there_o must_v be_v more_o than_o assent_n but_o three_o there_o must_v be_v consent_n which_o bring_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o will_n and_o look_n at_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o truth_n or_o person_n some_o good_a that_o

the_o head_n and_o understanding_n only_o so_o that_o there_o must_v be_v consent_n of_o the_o will_n and_o heart_n unto_o the_o thing_n believe_v now_o this_o consent_n must_v be_v free_a and_o

such_o a_o free_a and_o full_a consent_n that_o it_o will_v have_v christ_n whatever_o it_o cost_v four_o last_o in_o believe_v there_o must_v be_v affiance_n a_o confidence_n or_o trust_n and_o that_o you_o will_v find_v express_v in_o eph._n 1.12_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glory_n who_o first_o trust_v in_o christ_n there_o must_v be_v trust_v after_o we_o know_v and_o give_v assent_n and_o consent_n than_o we_o must_v trust_v and_o depend_v and_o rely_v upon_o christ_n so_o in_o 2_o tim._n 1.12_o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v in_o your_o
