fact_n be_v cast_v off_o some_o other_o man_n take_v a_o other_o child_n for_o the_o same_o end_n and_o make_v he_o heir_n in_o deed_n therefore_o we_o must_v think_v that_o it_o be_v righteous_a with_o the_o lord_n to_o deal_v thus_o with_o we_o see_v we_o be_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o we_o must_v not_o be_v offend_v though_o he_o call_v some_o &_o do_v not_o inlighten_v they_o and_o although_o he_o do_v not_o inlyght_v they_o and_o do_v not_o continue_v they_o and_o do_v of_o his_o great_a mercy_n continue_v some_o unto_o the_o end_n let_v we_o rather_o see_v what_o use_n we_o may_v have_v of_o this_o doctrine_n first_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o never_o quench_v any_o grace_n or_o gift_n that_o god_n bestow_v upon_o us._n second_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o have_v great_a measure_n of_o gift_n for_o the_o wicked_a may_v come_v to_o have_v some_o small_a gift_n and_o such_o may_v be_v quite_o take_v away_o from_o us._n tastly_a it_o do_v put_v a_o plain_a difference_n between_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o godless_a between_o they_o that_o bear_v a_o show_n of_o holiness_n and_o they_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n holy_a one_o for_o the_o one_o endure_v but_o a_o time_n and_o the_o other_o last_v for_o ever_o now_o if_o we_o require_v a_o further_a trial_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o last_v but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o that_o which_o last_v for_o ever_o with_o we_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v those_o rule_n which_o put_v a_o plain_a difference_n between_o they_o first_o we_o must_v mark_v the_o enlightening_n and_o insight_n we_o have_v into_o the_o word_n of_o god_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o both_o the_o godly_a and_o wicked_a be_v enlighten_v but_o the_o inlyghtning_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v one_o and_o the_o insight_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v a_o other_o for_o the_o knowledge_n and_o insight_n which_o the_o godly_a have_v receive_v be_v certain_a and_o distinct_a therefore_o in_o particular_a thing_n they_o be_v able_a to_o apply_v the_o threaten_n of_o god_n judgement_n to_o the_o humble_v of_o themselves_o and_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o comfort_v themselves_o again_o their_o knowledge_n be_v sufficient_a to_o direct_v they_o general_o and_o particular_o and_o last_o of_o all_o it_o never_o fail_v they_o but_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o end_n but_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v a_o confuse_a and_o a_o general_a knowledge_n of_o the_o threaten_n and_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o make_v particular_a use_n of_o the_o same_o their_o knowledge_n be_v not_o sufficient_a nor_o able_a to_o direct_v they_o in_o particular_n and_o therefore_o do_v leave_v they_o in_o the_o end_n therefore_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o godly_a for_o the_o clearness_n the_o certainty_n and_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o sun_n so_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v compare_v to_o lyghtning_n which_o do_v not_o give_v any_o light_n it_o do_v not_o continue_v any_o time_n and_o when_o it_o be_v go_v man_n be_v worse_o than_o they_o be_v before_o so_o do_v it_o fall_v out_o with_o the_o wicked_a for_o beside_o that_o their_o knowledge_n cloth_n soon_o vanish_v there_o be_v in_o they_o great_a and_o more_o dangerous_a darkness_n than_o there_o be_v before_o therein_o than_o we_o see_v our_o plain_n and_o manifest_a note_n of_o difference_n second_o we_o must_v come_v to_o our_o affection_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v desire_v the_o help_n of_o god_n but_o look_v to_o the_o cause_n &_o it_o will_v show_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o godly_a the_o wicked_a do_v only_o seek_v help_n because_o of_o some_o extremity_n which_o they_o suffer_v they_o only_a desire_n to_o be_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n because_o they_o will_v be_v free_v from_o grief_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v common_a with_o they_o to_o say_v oh_o that_o i_o be_v out_o of_o this_o pain_n oh_o that_o this_o sorrow_n be_v take_v from_o i_o by_o which_o speech_n they_o show_v that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v at_o rest_n or_o at_o their_o ease_n they_o will_v little_a weigh_v of_o the_o help_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o the_o godly_a find_v such_o sweetness_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n that_o for_o the_o desire_n thereof_o they_o can_v be_v content_a to_o suffer_v much_o and_o endure_v the_o cross_n patient_o so_o that_o at_o the_o last_o they_o may_v enjoy_v god_n favour_n not_o the_o godly_a only_o but_o the_o wicked_a also_o be_v greeve_v when_o they_o have_v sin_v but_o the_o wicked_a do_v therefore_o sorrow_n because_o their_o sin_n have_v or_o will_v bring_v some_o punishment_n upon_o they_o and_o the_o godly_a sorrow_n because_o they_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o give_v he_o occasion_n to_o draw_v his_o favour_n from_o they_o therefore_o his_o correction_n do_v they_o bear_v patient_o but_o the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o touch_v they_o still_o at_o the_o quick_a and_o so_o then_o in_o their_o joy_n and_o in_o their_o sorrow_n may_v appear_v a_o second_o difference_n the_o third_o difference_n be_v in_o love_n for_o though_o both_o of_o they_o love_n god_n yet_o it_o be_v after_o a_o diverse_a manner_n the_o one_o of_o sincerity_n the_o other_o of_o wage_n a_o poor_a child_n that_o be_v take_v up_o feed_v and_o clothe_v will_v love_v he_o that_o do_v thus_o feed_v &_o clothe_v he_o but_o if_o he_o receive_v no_o more_o of_o that_o man_n then_o of_o another_o he_o will_v like_o he_o and_o love_v he_o no_o better_o than_o another_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o wicked_a if_o their_o belly_n be_v fill_v if_o their_o barn_n stuff_v and_o they_o have_v their_o heart_n desire_n they_o love_v god_n in_o deed_n but_o it_o it_o only_o for_o their_o belly_n and_o their_o barn_n thus_o do_v saul_n love_n god_n but_o it_o be_v for_o his_o kingdom_n thus_o do_v achitophel_n love_n god_n but_o it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v a_o counsellor_n thus_o do_v judas_n love_n god_n but_o it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v choose_v to_o be_v a_o apostle_n and_o carry_v the_o bag_n but_o what_o become_v of_o their_o love_n history_n do_v testify_v saul_n be_v a_o little_a afflict_a and_o forsake_v god_n achitophel_n somewhat_o cross_v in_o his_o devise_n hang_v himself_o judas_n for_o gain_n of_o money_n betray_v christ_n his_o master_n some_o experience_n we_o may_v see_v of_o this_o among_o we_o courtier_n be_v professor_n and_o scholar_n be_v religious_a if_o courtier_n may_v come_v to_o be_v counselor_n and_o scholar_n may_v be_v prefer_v to_o chief_a place_n but_o if_o promotion_n come_v not_o than_o their_o profession_n be_v forsake_v and_o religion_n lay_v aside_o do_v the_o child_n of_o god_n love_n on_o this_o manner_n no_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v in_o effectual_a manner_n do_v shed_v the_o seed_n of_o love_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o do_v work_v in_o they_o a_o special_a like_n of_o his_o goodness_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o of_o his_o holiness_n and_o therefore_o of_o sincere_a affection_n they_o love_v he_o as_o the_o natural_a child_n love_v his_o father_n natural_o although_o he_o beat_v he_o yet_o bear_v he_o it_o and_o still_o love_v he_o so_o do_v the_o child_n of_o god_n deal_n they_o have_v pour_v into_o they_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v a_o godly_a nature_n so_o that_o they_o free_o love_v god_n the_o father_n and_o though_o he_o afflict_v they_o or_o cross_v they_o in_o their_o desire_n yet_o they_o love_v he_o and_o in_o love_n perform_v obedience_n unto_o he_o continual_o therefore_o job_n say_v though_o he_o kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o they_o therefore_o be_v say_v to_o have_v receive_v a_o free_a spirit_n and_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o who_o see_v not_o this_o to_o be_v a_o plain_n and_o manifest_a difference_n between_o they_o therefore_o we_o may_v take_v it_o as_o a_o third_o mark_n or_o rule_v to_o prove_v and_o try_v ourselves_o the_o four_o and_o last_o rule_n be_v in_o consider_v the_o work_n and_o effect_v which_o god_n mercy_n receive_v do_v work_n in_o we_o for_o herein_o do_v the_o wicked_a show_n their_o wickedness_n two_o way_n first_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n the_o mercy_n of_o god_n do_v work_n in_o they_o wonderful_a contentation_n but_o not_o such_o as_o cause_v they_o to_o return_v all_o glory_n to_o god_n nay_o rather_o it_o be_v such_o as_o cause_v they_o to_o take_v all_o glory_n to_o themselves_o for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v puff_n they_o up_o and_o make_v they_o proud_a and_o conceited_a in_o themselves_o hereof_o arise_v great_a

security_n which_o bring_v neglect_n and_o contempt_n of_o all_o good_a mean_n whereby_o they_o shall_v grow_v up_o in_o godliness_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n other_o offend_v be_v never_o please_v nor_o contend_v with_o the_o they_o have_v in_o deed_n forget_v and_o light_o esteem_v that_o they_o have_v and_o still_o desire_v new_a these_o man_n beside_o that_o they_o be_v unthankeful_a do_v also_o murmur_v and_o grudge_v against_o god_n and_o be_v never_o please_v with_o he_o between_o these_o two_o the_o child_n of_o god_n hold_v a_o middle_n and_o even_a course_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v see_v these_o thing_n in_o they_o first_o a_o sight_n &_o a_o acknowledge_v of_o the_o want_n which_o do_v move_v they_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v like_o new_a bear_v babe_n to_o desire_v the_o sweet_a and_o sincere_a milk_n of_o the_o word_n that_o thereby_o the_o grace_n they_o have_v may_v be_v increase_v and_o their_o other_o want_n may_v be_v supply_v and_o so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n that_o they_o rejoice_v when_o their_o pripe_n may_v be_v pull_v down_o or_o their_o haughtiness_n abate_v either_o by_o some_o sharp_a rebuke_n or_o by_o some_o fearful_a threaten_n or_o by_o some_o moderate_a correction_n from_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o know_v if_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o s._n paul_n to_o be_v buffit_v and_o that_o by_o the_o minister_n of_o satan_n to_o the_o end_n that_o his_o pride_n may_v be_v beat_v down_o than_o it_o be_v much_o more_o needful_a for_o they_o after_o more_o way_n so_o to_o be_v humble_v beside_o that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o desire_v the_o word_n but_o they_o also_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n until_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o work_v further_o in_o they_o thereby_o and_o this_o wait_v be_v as_o earnest_a as_o they_o who_o have_v watch_v all_o the_o night_n do_v wait_n and_o look_v for_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n second_o as_o they_o see_v their_o want_n so_o also_o they_o see_v that_o grace_n they_o have_v receive_v and_o for_o that_o time_n well_o appayde_v &_o content_v therewith_o and_o therefore_o as_o their_o want_n do_v humble_a they_o so_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v comfort_v they_o and_o as_o their_o want_n do_v call_v upon_o they_o &_o cause_v they_o to_o seek_v more_o so_o that_o they_o have_v do_v provoke_v they_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o that_o they_o have_v receive_v see_v then_o a_o quite_o contrary_a course_n of_o the_o wicked_a &_o those_o that_o do_v of_o sincerity_n worship_n god_n i_o say_v how_o contrary_a the_o grace_n &_o gift_n of_o god_n do_v work_n in_o they_o &_o therefore_o from_o the_o consideration_n hereof_o we_o may_v well_o draw_v a_o four_o rule_n whereby_o to_o make_v trial_n &_o examination_n of_o our_o own_o self_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n in_o a_o word_n when_o a_o man_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v be_v enlighten_v unto_o a_o certain_a &_o sufficient_a knowledge_n of_o god_n will_n when_o he_o find_v his_o affection_n chief_o &_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n set_v upon_o god_n when_o he_o find_v a_o pure_a &_o sincere_a love_n of_o god_n in_o his_o hart_n not_o for_o wage_n but_o for_o that_o word_n of_o grace_n which_o after_o a_o unspeakable_a manner_n do_v move_v he_o thereunto_o and_o when_o he_o do_v thankful_o acknowledge_v mercy_n receive_v as_o he_o do_v careful_o attend_v &_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n till_o he_o bestow_v some_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n upon_o he_o he_o may_v be_v undoubted_o persuade_v that_o he_o have_v find_v the_o spirit_n work_v in_o he_o in_o a_o more_o effectual_a manner_n &_o therefore_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v take_v from_o he_o but_o what_o then_o may_v such_o man_n cast_v off_o all_o care_n no_o for_o unto_o they_o do_v s._n paul_n give_v this_o charge_n for_o though_o that_o the_o spirit_n can_v never_o be_v take_v utter_o from_o they_o yet_o doubtless_o if_o they_o wax_v proud_a if_o they_o grow_v secure_a if_o they_o fall_v into_o sin_n the_o grace_n &_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v decay_v and_o die_v in_o they_o their_o clear_a love_n their_o feel_n their_o affection_n and_o all_o may_v be_v go_v so_o that_o in_o their_o own_o judgement_n &_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o they_o have_v quite_o quench_v &_o put_v out_o the_o spirit_n neither_o must_v this_o seem_v strange_a for_o if_o the_o image_n of_o god_n which_o be_v more_o perfect_o place_v in_o adam_n them_z it_o be_v now_o in_o us._n if_o i_o say_v this_o image_n may_v quite_o be_v blot_v out_o &_o lose_v as_o we_o see_v in_o be_v then_o no_o marvel_n if_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v for_o a_o time_n as_o it_o be_v dead_a &_o drown_v in_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o less_o offend_v herewith_o the_o scripture_n do_v offer_v unto_o we_o example_n of_o man_n as_o have_v be_v once_o effectual_o and_o true_o bear_v again_o have_v yet_o afterward_o through_o some_o sin_n lose_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n such_o be_v the_o galathian_o for_o they_o be_v true_o call_v &_o effectual_o regenerate_v by_o the_o spirit_n &_o gospel_n of_o god_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o that_o for_o the_o word_n sake_n they_o reverence_v the_o apostle_n as_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v snare_v with_o false_a doctrine_n &_o fall_v very_o dangerous_o to_o the_o choke_n &_o quench_v the_o spirit_n in_o they_o the_o spirit_n itself_o be_v not_o take_v from_o they_o nay_o christ_n do_v still_o continue_v in_o their_o heart_n yet_o for_o want_v of_o godly_a grace_n they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v without_o fashion_n &_o form_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v as_o it_o be_v travel_v again_o until_o christ_n be_v fashion_v a_o new_a in_o they_o david_n also_o upon_o the_o commit_n of_o his_o sin_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o like_a case_n &_o therefore_o in_o the._n 51._o psal._n he_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v create_v in_o he_o a_o new_a spirit_n what_o be_v the_o spirit_n quite_o go_v no_o for_o by_o and_o by_o in_o the_o same_o psalm_n he_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o take_v away_o his_o holy_a spirit_n from_o he_o how_o can_v these_o two_o stand_v together_o first_o to_o pray_v that_o a_o new_a spirit_n may_v be_v create_v in_o he_o and_z that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v take_v from_o he_o sure_o the_o

&_o go_v and_o therefore_o he_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v be_v renew_v in_o he_o by_o this_o than_o we_o see_v that_o the_o very_a chief_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v quench_v even_o in_o the_o most_o godly_a when_o they_o fall_v into_o sin_n but_o yet_o that_o no_o liberty_n may_v be_v take_v hereby_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o grief_n they_o bring_v to_o themselves_o that_o do_v by_o any_o mean_n loose_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v know_v that_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n can_v be_v get_v by_o our_o labour_n yet_o it_o co_v we_o
