enable_v a_o man_n to_o believe_v it_o answ._n i_o answer_v that_o certain_o there_o be_v a_o mighty_a power_n that_o go_v out_o from_o god_n and_o christ_n that_o enable_v thou_o to_o believe_v with_o efficacy_n so_o that_o when_o the_o object_n be_v set_v before_o thou_o there_o go_v out_o a_o power_n from_o christ_n to_o work_v faith_n in_o thy_o heart_n whereby_o thou_o true_o believe_v it_o and_o so_o it_o appear_v in_o thy_o life_n we_o think_v we_o believe_v those_o thing_n but_o our_o life_n do_v manifest_v the_o contrary_a namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o powerful_a faith_n wrought_v in_o we_o for_o all_o the_o error_n of_o our_o life_n though_o we_o observe_v they_o not_o arise_v from_o hence_o that_o these_o principle_n be_v not_o thorough_o believe_v if_o they_o be_v it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o inconsequence_n in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n therefore_o consider_v if_o this_o faith_n be_v wrought_v in_o thou_o whether_o such_o a_o power_n have_v go_v out_o to_o work_v such_o a_o faith_n that_o have_v change_v thy_o whole_a course_n as_o it_o will_v do_v if_o it_o be_v once_o wrought_v in_o thou_o by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n so_o also_o consider_v whether_o there_o have_v a_o virtue_n go_v out_o from_o he_o to_o work_v love_n in_o thy_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v able_a to_o love_n god_n or_o to_o come_v near_o he_o for_o all_o love_n rise_v from_o similitude_n there_o must_v be_v a_o agreement_n and_o similitude_n between_o those_o two_o that_o love_n now_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v as_o contrary_a to_o god_n pure_a nature_n as_o fire_n be_v to_o water_n &_o without_o a_o almighty_a power_n to_o change_v his_o nature_n and_o to_o work_v a_o particular_a affection_n of_o love_n in_o he_o he_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o love_n god_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o work_v this_o 3.11_o he_o will_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v fire_n i_o will_v multiply_v thy_o sorrow_n and_o thy_o conception_n that_o be_v 3.6.1_o the_o sorrow_n of_o thy_o conception_n now_o love_n be_v as_o fire_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o one_o fire_n must_v beget_v another_o and_o therefore_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o common_a proverb_n love_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v buy_v with_o mountain_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n yet_o if_o thou_o be_v in_o christ_n there_o go_v out_o a_o virtue_n from_o he_o that_o stamp_v upon_o thy_o heart_n this_o holy_a affection_n that_o breed_v in_o thou_o this_o holy_a fire_n of_o love_n so_o that_o thy_o heart_n cleave_v to_o he_o thou_o love_v he_o with_o as_o true_a with_o as_o genuine_a as_o natural_a and_o as_o sensible_a love_n as_o thou_o love_v any_o friend_n as_o thou_o love_v any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n consider_v if_o this_o be_v wrought_v in_o thou_o or_o no._n and_o so_o for_o thy_o knowledge_n there_o be_v also_o a_o power_n in_o it_o consider_v whether_o any_o such_o virtue_n have_v go_v out_o from_o christ_n to_o make_v the_o knowledge_n which_o thou_o have_v powerful_a you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v that_o answ._n quest._n that_o be_v to_o bring_v on_o these_o truth_n which_o thy_o heart_n assent_v unto_o to_o bring_v they_o with_o that_o evidence_n and_o fullness_n of_o demonstration_n that_o thou_o shall_v yield_v unto_o they_o and_o practice_v they_o according_a to_o thy_o knowledge_n belove_a there_o be_v much_o knowledge_n among_o we_o but_o who_o practise_v according_a to_o his_o knowledge_n we_o know_v god_n but_o we_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n 1.21_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o have_v not_o go_v a_o power_n with_o that_o knowledge_n to_o make_v it_o lively_a and_o effectual_a to_o pass_v through_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o over-rule_v they_o for_o if_o there_o be_v such_o knowledge_n it_o will_v always_o draw_v affection_n and_o practice_v with_o it_o so_o likewise_o consider_v whether_o there_o have_v go_v a_o power_n from_o he_o to_o mortify_v thy_o lust_n whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n 5.24_o not_o to_o lay_v they_o asleep_a only_o but_o to_o mortify_v and_o subdue_v they_o see_v likewise_o whether_o there_o have_v a_o power_n go_v out_o from_o christ_n to_o help_v thou_o to_o overcome_v the_o world_n the_o lust_n of_o thy_o eye_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n 2.16_o for_o whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o world_n have_v many_o thing_n to_o work_v upon_o we_o and_o to_o resist_v and_o oppose_v we_o it_o have_v persecution_n it_o have_v disgrace_n it_o have_v slander_n and_o reproach_n which_o it_o cast_v upon_o holy_a man_n &_o upon_o the_o holy_a way_n of_o god_n and_o the_o man_n that_o be_v actor_n in_o this_o be_v the_o devil_n factour_n though_o they_o think_v not_o so_o as_o the_o apostle_n james_n express_v it_o their_o tongue_n be_v set_v on_o fire_n of_o hell_n 3.6_o to_o devise_v slander_n and_o false_a report_n and_o to_o fasten_v they_o upon_o holy_a man_n especial_o upon_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o upon_o all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n i_o say_v they_o be_v the_o devil_n factour_n though_o they_o think_v not_o so_o and_o those_o that_o believe_v they_o be_v the_o devil_n receiver_n the_o one_o have_v the_o devil_n in_o his_o tongue_n the_o other_o in_o his_o ear_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v this_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n whereby_o the_o world_n fight_v against_o the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o discourage_v man_n and_o to_o hinder_v they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v stumble_a block_n to_o they_o so_o it_o be_v with_o

have_v assurance_n in_o he_o that_o if_o we_o ask_v any_o thing_n we_o shall_v be_v hear_v but_o first_o we_o must_v be_v in_o he_o now_o 〈◊〉_d know_v whether_o we_o be_v in_o he_o as_o you_o have_v

much_o for_o the_o first_o thing_n now_o for_o the_o second_o if_o a_o man_n will_v apply_v or_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o privilege_n we_o have_v by_o christ_n as_o this_o particular_a privilege_n of_o be_v hear_v in_o our_o prayer_n of_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n or_o any_o other_o know_v this_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v in_o christ_n only_o but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o

first_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o he_o to_o be_v in_o christ_n no_o nor_o when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o do_v some_o other_o duty_n but_o

now_o in_o hand_n from_o the_o 7._o verse_n downward_o ask_v say_v he_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v seek_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v knock_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v open_v unto_o you_o here_o be_v the_o promise_n for_o he_o back_v it_o with_o these_o 2._o reason_n every_o one_o that_o ask_v receive_v and_o he_o that_o seek_v find_v and_o to_o he_o that_o knock_v it_o shall_v be_v open_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o have_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o you_o shall_v believe_v it_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o ask_v and_o have_v for_o say_v he_o all_o that_o ever_o ask_v have_v obtain_v all_o that_o ever_o have_v seek_v have_v find_v all_o that_o ever_o have_v knock_v it_o have_v be_v open_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v look_v through_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o

hear_v now_o when_o we_o have_v such_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n it_o be_v a_o strong_a reason_n when_o it_o be_v say_v to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o pray_v but_o be_v hear_v why_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v many_o pray_v that_o be_v not_o hear_v quest._n do_v not_o david_n pray_v for_o his_o child_n and_o be_v not_o hear_v do_v not_o paul_n pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v

david_n be_v hear_v at_o that_o time_n though_o i_o say_v not_o in_o the_o particular_a for_o though_o his_o child_n be_v take_v away_o yet_o you_o may_v see_v the_o lord_n give_v he_o a_o child_n of_o the_o same_o woman_n with_o much_o more_o advantage_n he_o give_v he_o a_o child_n that_o be_v legitimate_a which_o this_o be_v not_o he_o give_v he_o a_o child_n that_o exceed_v for_o wisdom_n solomon_n be_v the_o child_n that_o he_o have_v so_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v hear_v he_o and_o give_v he_o this_o answer_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v to_o he_o david_n i_o have_v hear_v thou_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v exceed_o importunate_a thou_o shall_v not_o have_v this_o but_o thou_o shall_v have_v another_o child_n which_o shall_v be_v better_o and_o so_o he_o say_v unto_o paul_n 2_o cor._n 12._o christ_n reveal_v this_o unto_o he_o paul_n say_v he_o though_o i_o grant_v thou_o not_o this_o particular_a request_n in_o the_o manner_n that_o thou_o will_v have_v i_o to_o take_v away_o the_o prick_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o thou_o be_v trouble_v with_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a gainer_n by_o it_o thou_o have_v better_o have_v it_o than_o want_v it_o when_o paul_n understand_v that_o it_o be_v a_o medicine_n and_o not_o a_o poison_n as_o he_o take_v it_o to_o be_v he_o be_v content_a and_o resolve_v in_o it_o and_o a_o man_n resolve_v not_o except_o he_o be_v a_o gainer_n he_o see_v that_o god_n power_n be_v manifest_a in_o his_o weakness_n and_o he_o see_v himself_o humble_v by_o it_o and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o god_n gain_v glory_n and_o himself_o humiliation_n by_o it_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v deny_v in_o it_o so_o i_o say_v whosoever_o ask_v find_v you_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o example_n but_o that_o whosoever_o seek_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o he_o ought_v he_o be_v certain_o hear_v or_o else_o he_o have_v somewhat_o that_o be_v better_o grant_v to_o he_o instead_o of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n that_o be_v use_v here_o 7.9.10.11_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o what_o man_n among_o you_o if_o his_o son_n ask_v bread_n will_v give_v he_o a_o stone_n or_o if_o he_o ask_v a_o fish_n will_v give_v he_o a_o serpent_n if_o you_o then_o that_o be_v evil_a know_v how_o to_o give_v good_a thing_n to_o your_o child_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v good_a thing_n to_o they_o which_o ask_v he_o say_v he_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o persuade_v yourselves_o of_o this_o truth_n because_o you_o know_v not_o the_o father_n for_o he_o dwell_v in_o light_n inaccessible_a you_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o he_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o will_v help_v you_o out_o with_o a_o argument_n that_o you_o better_o understand_v even_o upon_o earth_n say_v he_o take_v but_o a_o father_n here_o a_o father_n that_o be_v ill_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v full_a of_o goodness_n father_n have_v but_o a_o drop_n but_o a_o spark_n of_o mercy_n in_o they_o whereas_o the_o lord_n be_v

ready_a to_o give_v it_o he_o he_o be_v full_a of_o compassion_n and_o tenderness_n towards_o he_o do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v as_o true_a a_o father_n as_o he_o that_o he_o love_v you_o as_o well_o as_o he_o who_o compassion_n and_o pity_n be_v much_o great_a do_v you_o not_o think_v he_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v his_o child_n when_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o o_o this_o be_v a_o strong_a and_o unanswerable_a reason_n and_o this_o you_o see_v be_v back_v in_o 16_o joh._n 27._o you_o see_v there_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n how_o it_o be_v express_v to_o we_o i_o say_v not_o unto_o you_o that_o i_o will_v ask_v the_o father_n say_v he_o the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o mark_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v let_v this_o be_v one_o ground_n to_o you_o to_o think_v your_o petition_n shall_v be_v grant_v and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o grant_v for_o my_o sake_n for_o say_v he_o the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o and_o have_v a_o great_a affection_n to_o you_o that_o be_v in_o natural_a parent_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a affection_n to_o their_o child_n so_o if_o i_o be_v not_o immediate_o to_o present_v your_o
