can_v stand_v together_o prov._n 28.14_o bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v always_o now_o if_o a_o man_n must_v always_o fear_v than_o the_o most_o a_o man_n can_v have_v be_v hope_n and_o so_o hang_v between_o hope_n and_o fear_v all_o our_o day_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o fear_v always_o which_o solomon_n annex_v blessedness_n unto_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o fear_n about_o a_o man_n election_n but_o only_o a_o fear_n to_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o that_o appear_v read_v the_o whole_a verse_n blessed_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v always_o but_o he_o that_o harden_v his_o heart_n shall_v run_v into_o mischief_n now_o mark_v by_o the_o antithesis_fw-la it_o be_v apparent_a that_o fear_v there_o be_v not_o a_o fear_n of_o our_o everlasting_a estate_n but_o only_o a_o fear_n in_o opposition_n to_o hardness_n of_o heart_n in_o wicked_a man_n that_o go_v on_o in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n another_o place_n they_o urge_v be_v 1_o cor._n 10.12_o wherefore_o let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v now_o say_v they_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o every_o man_n though_o never_o so_o firm_a as_o he_o think_v about_o his_o election_n yet_o he_o must_v take_v heed_n he_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n and_o be_v damn_v for_o all_o this_o now_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o two_o thing_n first_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o man_n that_o have_v a_o ground_a assurance_n of_o their_o election_n but_o to_o man_n that_o lie_v in_o carnal_a security_n and_o have_v delude_v persuasion_n of_o their_o good_a estate_n and_o this_o appear_v by_o the_o text_n for_o he_o say_v let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v he_o do_v not_o say_v let_v he_o that_o stand_v for_o he_o can_v fall_v but_o he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v those_o man_n that_o nourish_v presumptuous_a and_o ungrounded_a persuasion_n that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n and_o in_o a_o happy_a condition_n let_v they_o take_v heed_n lest_o they_o fall_v second_o the_o fall_v here_o be_v not_o mean_v a_o fall_n away_o from_o grace_n or_o a_o fall_n away_o final_o after_o election_n for_o that_o be_v impossible_a but_o it_o be_v only_o mean_v of_o a_o fall_n into_o sin_n and_o so_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v i._n e._n that_o think_v he_o be_v strong_a in_o grace_n and_o stand_v upon_o his_o own_o leg_n let_v that_o man_n take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v into_o sin_n now_o a_o man_n may_v take_v heed_n of_o fall_v into_o sin_n yet_o no_o way_n question_v his_o assurance_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o i_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o this_o be_v the_o intendment_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n i_o answer_v by_o the_o context_n read_v the_o forego_n verse_n let_v not_o we_o tempt_v christ_n as_o they_o tempt_v he_o let_v not_o we_o murmur_v as_o some_o of_o they_o murmur_v for_o these_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o for_o ensample_n and_o be_v write_v for_o our_o admonition_n therefore_o let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o have_v here_o see_v some_o man_n fall_v into_o sin_n you_o have_v hear_v some_o man_n murmur_v some_o man_n tempt_v christ_n this_o shall_v make_v you_o afraid_a lest_o you_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n they_o do_v but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o deny_v of_o assurance_n that_o man_n can_v be_v assure_v of_o their_o election_n another_o place_n they_o urge_v also_o be_v phil._n 2.12_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a now_o say_v they_o if_o a_o man_n must_v work_v out_o and_o carry_v on_o the_o business_n of_o his_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a then_o sure_o a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v assure_v in_o this_o life_n of_o his_o election_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o fear_n and_o tremble_v there_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o a_o fear_n and_o tremble_a in_o opposition_n to_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o election_n but_o in_o opposition_n to_o that_o carnal_a security_n and_o sinful_a dependence_n upon_o our_o own_o strength_n this_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o next_o word_n for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n and_o therefore_o because_o you_o have_v no_o strength_n of_o your_o own_o and_o no_o power_n of_o your_o own_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n therefore_o fear_v and_o tremble_v in_o that_o regard_n second_o fear_n and_o tremble_a may_v very_o well_o be_v consistent_a with_o this_o grace_n of_o assurance_n for_o we_o read_v psal_n 2.11_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n with_o tremble_a you_o may_v fear_v and_o yet_o rejoice_v also_o so_o psal_n 5.7_o as_o for_o i_o i_o will_v come_v into_o thy_o house_n in_o the_o multitude_n of_o thy_o mercy_n and_o in_o thy_o fear_n i_o will_v worship_v towards_o thy_o holy_a temple_n here_o be_v fear_n and_o confidence_n in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n join_v together_o to_o show_v that_o fear_n and_o assurance_n may_v very_o well_o be_v consistent_a each_o with_o other_o but_o then_o they_o object_n how_o can_v this_o be_v for_o john_n say_v that_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n i_o answer_v that_o though_o john_n say_v perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n yet_o john_n do_v not_o say_v that_o imperfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n now_o in_o this_o life_n our_o love_n be_v imperfect_a and_o therefore_o mix_v with_o fear_n but_o in_o heaven_n our_o love_n be_v perfect_a and_o so_o cast_v out_o all_o fear_n so_o that_o still_o this_o make_v nothing_o against_o we_o but_o that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o ground_a assurance_n of_o his_o eternal_a election_n another_o place_n they_o object_n be_v rom._n 11.20_o be_v not_o high_o mind_v but_o fear_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v these_o word_n be_v not_o speak_v of_o fear_v our_o election_n that_o we_o shall_v fear_v whether_o we_o be_v elect_v or_o no._n but_o serve_v to_o beat_v down_o any_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o righteousness_n as_o if_o we_o be_v therefore_o accept_v of_o god_n and_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o insult_v over_o the_o reject_a jew_n now_o that_o we_o be_v take_v in_o in_o their_o room_n one_o scripture_n more_o which_o indeed_o be_v the_o main_a pillar_n they_o rest_v upon_o be_v rom._n 11.34_o who_o have_v know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o who_o have_v be_v his_o counsellor_n here_o say_v the_o papist_n the_o scripture_n challenge_v any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v forth_o and_o say_v that_o he_o know_v god_n mind_n by_o god_n mind_n be_v mean_v god_n decree_n and_o here_o paul_n challenge_v all_o that_o no_o man_n know_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n from_o eternity_n therefore_o if_o no_o man_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n then_o certain_o none_o know_v their_o own_o election_n for_o that_o be_v god_n mind_n and_o god_n decree_n this_o they_o hold_v a_o undeniable_a argument_n and_o here_o to_o satisfy_v you_o in_o this_o scripture_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o three_o thing_n first_o when_o it_o be_v say_v no_o man_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n nor_o no_o man_n be_v his_o counsellor_n this_o do_v hold_v true_a that_o no_o man_n know_v the_o mind_n or_o decree_n of_o the_o lord_n touch_v other_o man_n election_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o if_o no_o man_n know_v god_n mind_n about_o his_o own_o but_o about_o other_o man_n election_n who_o be_v elect_v and_o who_o be_v not_o for_o that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n the_o gentile_n they_o think_v all_o the_o jew_n be_v damn_v man_n and_o they_o censure_v and_o vaunt_v over_o they_o now_o say_v paul_n none_o know_v god_n mind_n concern_v other_o whether_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v or_o damn_v while_o they_o be_v in_o this_o world_n second_o no_o man_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o sense_n that_o be_v so_o as_o to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o god_n decree_n why_o god_n do_v decree_v this_o and_o decree_v that_o why_o god_n do_v choose_v peter_n and_o not_o elect_v judas_n no_o man_n know_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n decree_n and_o of_o his_o way_n three_o no_o man_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v no_o man_n know_v god_n decree_n by_o look_v upon_o it_o alone_o but_o by_o bring_v down_o god_n secret_a will_n to_o his_o reveal_v will_n and_o so_o we_o may_v know_v his_o decree_n i_o may_v make_v use_n of_o that_o place_n rom._n 10.8_o let_v no_o man_n say_v i_o will_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n to_o fetch_v christ_n thence_o but_o what_o say_v the_o word_n the_o word_n be_v night_n thou_o even_o in_o

his_o name_n etc._n etc._n though_o you_o may_v be_v ignorant_a about_o circumstantial_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o in_o fundamental_o your_o ignorance_n may_v be_v consistent_a with_o effectual_a call_n but_o now_o three_o if_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v satisfy_v in_o these_o two_o point_n and_o think_v happy_o i_o may_v have_v the_o first_o concomitant_a to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o so_o evidence_n my_o effectual_a call_n and_o then_o happy_o the_o second_o may_v not_o be_v want_v in_o i_o that_o i_o do_v not_o lie_v under_o the_o state_n of_o a_o wilful_a sottish_a &_o fundamental_a ignorance_n but_o alas_o say_v he_o i_o want_v a_o three_o concomitant_a that_o accompany_v effectual_a call_n and_o that_o be_v i_o find_v in_o the_o word_n that_o they_o that_o be_v effectual_o call_v they_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o obediential_a frame_n of_o heart_n to_o all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o whatever_o god_n command_v they_o to_o do_v their_o heart_n can_v ready_o obey_v and_o this_o i_o find_v rom._n 1.5_o 6._o god_n have_v call_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n now_o alas_o say_v a_o poor_a soul_n i_o find_v a_o defect_n in_o this_o concomitant_a likewise_o i_o can_v discern_v that_o i_o be_o call_v to_o a_o obedience_n flow_v from_o faith_n as_o its_o principle_n i_o can_v find_v this_o frame_n of_o heart_n to_o be_v in_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o doubt_v of_o my_o effectual_a call_v this_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o take_v off_o likewise_o first_o when_o i_o say_v that_o obedience_n be_v a_o concomitant_a that_o will_v accompany_v one_o effectual_o call_v i_o do_v not_o say_v nor_o intend_v it_o of_o obedience_n in_o the_o act_n of_o it_o but_o of_o a_o obediential_a frame_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o purpose_n of_o it_o many_o man_n may_v be_v effectual_o call_v animi_fw-la in_o praeparatione_fw-la animi_fw-la when_o they_o may_v not_o always_o live_v in_o the_o act_n of_o obedience_n to_o christ_n but_o every_o man_n effectual_o call_v have_v a_o obedient_a frame_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v he_o have_v purpose_n &_o intention_n and_o resolution_n to_o obey_v god_n though_o he_o can_v act_v what_o he_o will_v do_v he_o have_v obedience_n in_o the_o habit_n and_o obedience_n in_o his_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n always_o attend_v he_o second_o you_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o strong_a and_o able_a christian_n who_o have_v do_v most_o for_o god_n have_v sometime_o be_v very_o defective_a in_o the_o act_n of_o obedience_n that_o they_o can_v not_o do_v what_o they_o will_v do_v for_o god_n and_o therefore_o paul_n complain_v rom._n 7._o the_o good_a that_o we_o will_v do_v we_o can_v do_v paul_n himself_o that_o be_v a_o pillar_n in_o god_n house_n yet_o he_o tell_v you_o he_o can_v not_o go_v out_o in_o those_o act_n of_o obedience_n which_o in_o his_o heart_n he_o will_v do_v &_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v willing_o do_v more_o than_o you_o do_v god_n accept_v of_o the_o little_a you_o do_v three_o though_o you_o can_v put_v forth_o many_o act_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n where_o there_o be_v readiness_n of_o mind_n and_o heart_n god_n accept_v the_o purpose_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o the_o action_n itself_o 2_o cor._n 8.12_o where_o there_o be_v a_o willing_a mind_n it_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o if_o the_o deed_n be_v do_v and_o thus_o much_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o second_o case_n of_o conscience_n why_o man_n effectual_o call_v do_v so_o much_o doubt_n of_o their_o own_o call_n doubt_n 3_o three_o see_v christian_n must_v put_v forth_o diligence_n in_o make_v their_o call_n sure_a therefore_o now_o whereabouts_o must_v this_o diligence_n of_o we_o be_v conversant_a or_o into_o what_o channel_n must_v our_o diligence_n run_v that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o our_o effectual_a call_n this_o be_v a_o very_a material_a question_n and_o in_o resolve_v of_o it_o i_o shall_v answer_v it_o in_o these_o two_o general_n first_o if_o you_o will_v get_v assurance_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n you_o must_v put_v forth_o diligence_n to_o remove_v those_o thing_n that_o will_v hinder_v you_o in_o make_v sure_a your_o call_n and_o second_o use_v diligence_n to_o set_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o duty_n that_o may_v further_o you_o in_o make_v this_o sure_a that_o you_o be_v effectual_o call_v first_o you_o must_v remove_v those_o thing_n which_o do_v much_o hinder_v you_o from_o be_v assure_v and_o those_o hindrance_n that_o be_v to_o be_v remove_v i_o shall_v comprise_v under_o six_o head_n as_o first_o you_o must_v use_v diligence_n to_o remove_v melancholy_a from_o your_o thought_n this_o be_v a_o natural_a hindrance_n of_o assurance_n melancholy_n be_v a_o temper_n in_o man_n arise_v from_o a_o black_a

the_o soul_n now_o if_o your_o temper_n be_v melancholy_a and_o so_o dispose_v you_o to_o distrust_n and_o fear_n this_o will_v be_v a_o great_a stop_n to_o your_o have_v of_o the_o joy_n and_o

a_o beast_n though_o say_v he_o he_o do_v not_o eat_v grass_n but_o his_o deep_a perplexity_n seize_v upon_o he_o do_v make_v he_o think_v that_o he_o be_v from_o a_o man_n turn_v into_o a_o beast_n belove_a melancholy_a in_o a_o christian_a it_o will_v make_v he_o think_v himself_o a_o hypocrite_n when_o he_o be_v a_o saint_n and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o a_o melancholy_a lumpish_a and_o

though_o thou_o do_v not_o go_v away_o with_o fullness_n of_o comfort_n benjamin_n when_o he_o be_v with_o joseph_n in_o egypt_n he_o have_v a_o token_n of_o love_n from_o joseph_n a_o golden_a cup_n in_o his_o sack_n though_o he_o know_v it_o not_o this_o be_v a_o lively_a emblem_n of_o the_o carriage_n of_o our_o joseph_n jesus_n christ_n to_o his_o young_a benjamin_n who_o may_v put_v a_o

and_o a_o believer_n though_o there_o may_v be_v some_o seem_a enmity_n thou_o hold_v i_o for_o thy_o enemy_n say_v job_n yet_o god_n do_v not_o though_o he_o think_v so_o zion_n say_v the_o lord_n have_v forsake_v i_o and_o my_o god_n have_v forget_v i_o isa_n 49.14_o but_o god_n have_v not_o do_v so_o for_o he_o tell_v they_o a_o little_a before_o almost_o in_o one_o breath_n though_o a_o mother_n may_v forget_v her_o suck_a child_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o forget_v you_o so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o seem_a jar_n when_o there_o be_v no_o enmity_n at_o all_o between_o god_n and_o you_o seven_o that_o christian_n who_o have_v attain_v the_o strong_a and_o high_a degree_n of_o faith_n have_v yet_o have_v many_o defect_n and_o doubt_n mingle_v with_o their_o faith_n lord_n i_o believe_v mark_n 9_o yet_o help_v my_o unbelief_n yet_o that_o man_n attain_v to_o a_o high_a pitch_n of_o faith_n 1_o thes_n 3.10_o night_n and_o day_n we_o pray_v exceed_o for_o you_o that_o we_o may_v see_v your_o face_n and_o perfect_a that_o which_o be_v want_v in_o your_o faith_n now_o you_o must_v not_o take_v these_o thessalonian_o as_o if_o they_o be_v new_a convert_v or_o a_o people_n weak_a in_o the_o faith_n but_o herein_o lie_v the_o emphasis_n that_o though_o these_o thessalonian_o be_v the_o most_o eminent_a christian_n of_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o great_a defect_n in_o their_o faith_n therefore_o compare_v this_o with_o 1_o thes_n 1.7_o 8._o you_o be_v example_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o macedonia_n and_o achaia_n for_o from_o you_o sound_v out_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o in_o macedonia_n and_o achaia_n but_o also_o in_o every_o place_n your_o faith_n to_o godward_o be_v spread_v abroad_o the_o people_n in_o every_o place_n speak_v of_o the_o great_a measure_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o the_o godly_a people_n of_o this_o church_n and_o yet_o though_o their_o faith_n be_v so_o eminent_a and_o they_o christian_n so_o eminent_a as_o they_o be_v yet_o they_o have_v some_o defect_n and_o there_o be_v somewhat_o lack_v in_o their_o faith_n for_o all_o this_o see_v also_o psal_n 55.5_o and_o psal_n 77._o so_o that_o here_o be_v very_o great_a comfort_n for_o believer_n that_o the_o strong_a christian_n in_o the_o faith_n have_v have_v great_a defect_n that_o have_v attend_v their_o grace_n thus_o have_v finish_v these_o seven_o comfortable_a conclusion_n because_o i_o will_v have_v no_o delude_a sinner_n nuzzle_v up_o in_o presumptuous_a persuasion_n of_o his_o own_o blessedness_n when_o he_o be_v a_o curse_a man_n and_o design_v for_o hell_n i_o have_v two_o or_o three_o sad_a conclusion_n to_o lay_v down_o for_o all_o you_o that_o harbour_v groundless_a and_o presumptuous_a persuasion_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n when_o you_o be_v not_o as_o first_o you_o that_o nourish_v presumptuous_a persuasion_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n when_o you_o be_v not_o take_v this_o conclusion_n to_o dread_v your_o heart_n that_o it_o be_v likely_a you_o shall_v never_o be_v effectual_o call_v by_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o unlikely_a to_o be_v true_o call_v by_o christ_n as_o that_o man_n that_o think_v he_o be_v call_v when_o he_o be_v not_o math._n 9_o i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n righteous_a man_n i.e._n that_o think_v they_o be_v righteous_a and_o in_o their_o own_o eye_n think_v they_o have_v grace_n and_o be_v as_o good_a as_o the_o best_a i_o come_v not_o say_v christ_n to_o call_v they_o but_o sinner_n i.e._n sinner_n that_o see_v their_o sin_n and_o see_v their_o need_n of_o a_o saviour_n and_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o lose_a and_o undo_v condition_n without_o christ_n christ_n come_v to_o save_v they_o and_o to_o call_v they_o to_o repentance_n of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n you_o be_v most_o unlikely_a to_o be_v call_v that_o nourish_v ungrounded_a persuasion_n of_o your_o effectual_a call_n second_o whilst_o you_o live_v in_o this_o world_n you_o be_v mere_a stranger_n to_o that_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a joy_n which_o every_o true_a believer_n feel_v and_o find_v in_o jesus_n christ_n you_o do_v not_o intermeddle_v with_o those_o inward_a solace_n and_o sweet_a enjoyment_n of_o heart_n which_o every_o sincere_a believer_n have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n a_o man_n that_o have_v assurance_n upon_o good_a ground_n he_o be_v so_o fill_v with_o joy_n that_o it_o will_v bear_v he_o up_o against_o all_o the_o suffering_n and_o sorrow_n he_o may_v meet_v with_o here_o in_o the_o world_n he_o that_o have_v assurance_n no_o suffering_n can_v daunt_v he_o as_o adolphus_n clarebachius_n when_o he_o be_v burn_v at_o the_o stake_n he_o be_v so_o fill_v with_o the_o

burn_v at_o the_o stake_n say_v i_o taste_v as_o much_o sweetness_n and_o find_v as_o much_o ease_n now_o i_o be_o in_o the_o flame_n as_o if_o i_o lie_v upon_o a_o bed_n of_o rose_n the_o fullness_n of_o his_o joy_n in_o the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n make_v he_o willing_o undergo_v any_o torment_n mr._n saunders_n be_v in_o prison_n till_o he_o be_v in_o prison_n bainam_n say_v when_o he_o

to_o suffer_v like_v clothe_v not_o well_o weave_v on_o a_o rainy_a day_n thy_o delusion_n will_v never_o bear_v up_o thy_o spirit_n to_o so_o high_a a_o pitch_n as_o these_o be_v this_o be_v thy_o
