the_o word_n tell_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n the_o word_n say_v i_o be_o sanctify_v therefore_o i_o be_o justify_v therefore_o call_v therefore_o elect_v the_o word_n reveal_v these_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n must_v needs_o go_v inseparable_o with_o it_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a conclusion_n conclus_fw-la 2_o the_o second_o be_v this_o and_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v somewhat_o difficult_a the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n work_v with_o and_o accompany_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n it_o do_v therein_o and_o thereby_o leave_v a_o supernatural_a dint_n and_o power_n and_o a_o spiritual_a and_o overpower_a virtue_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o thereby_o carry_v it_o and_o bring_v it_o unto_o christ_n and_o there_o lie_v a_o great_a weight_n and_o observe_v it_o the_o principal_a and_o efficient_a cause_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o believe_a it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o spiritual_a assist_v and_o move_v and_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o work_v and_o motion_n it_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o thus_o the_o spirit_n let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o stir_v hope_n and_o it_o be_v stir_v and_o move_v it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o quicken_v desire_n and_o it_o go_v it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o kindle_v love_n and_o it_o flame_n it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o persuade_v the_o will_n and_o it_o take_v and_o choose_v the_o spirit_n move_v upon_o these_o faculty_n and_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o they_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o main_a principal_a cause_n of_o faith_n be_v rather_o a_o assist_a power_n work_v upon_o than_o any_o inward_a principal_n put_v into_o the_o soul_n to_o work_v of_o itself_o but_o the_o work_n be_v upon_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n by_o that_o power_n and_o assistance_n be_v convey_v and_o carry_v home_o to_o christ_n observe_v it_o i_o will_v express_v it_o in_o several_a passage_n because_o here_o lie_v the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o point_n then_o know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v in_o the_o first_o stroke_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v upon_o the_o water_n gen._n 1.2_o the_o text_n say_v there_o 〈◊〉_d confuse_a lump_n and_o the_o spirit_n move_v upon_o the_o 〈◊〉_d and_o set_v upon_o that_o confuse_a lump_n fas●●●_n 〈…〉_o the_o creature_n out_o thereof_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o siprit_fw-fr and_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n i_o intend_v the_o promise_n too_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o promise_n meet_v with_o a_o humble_a soul_n now_o abase_v and_o stagger_v and_o quarrel_v with_o himself_o he_o be_v in_o a_o confuse_a estate_n he_o know_v not_o what_o to_o make_v of_o himself_o nor_o of_o his_o confuse_a condition_n now_o the_o good_a spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n move_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o leave_v a_o spiritual_a dint_n and_o supernatural_a work_n upon_o it_o and_o the_o soul_n by_o virtue_n thereof_o be_v carry_v and_o fit_v and_o fashion_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n act_v 26_o 18._o saint_n paul_n be_v send_v to_o turn_v man_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_v now_o it_o be_v a_o confession_n among_o all_o protestant_a divine_n that_o the_o first_o stroke_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v upon_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o soul_n that_o can_v drive_v sin_n from_o the_o soul_n and_o pluck_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n but_o the_o spirit_n work_v this_o and_o the_o soul_n take_v this_o blow_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o spirit_n the_o soul_n be_v pull_v from_o corruption_n and_o turn_v from_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o confess_a truth_n that_o the_o first_o stroke_n in_o conversion_n be_v not_o from_o any_o thing_n within_o the_o soul_n but_o it_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n nay_o the_o same_o stroke_n do_v two_o thing_n it_o turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_v the_o same_o hand_n and_o the_o same_o stroke_n do_v both_o these_o as_o for_o example_n when_o you_o tear_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o as_o you_o rear_v it_o from_o the_o other_o you_o pull_v it_o to_o yourself_o he_o that_o pull_v a_o bough_n from_o a_o tree_n as_o he_o pull_v it_o from_o the_o tree_n he_o pluck_v it_o to_o himself_o so_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n in_o call_v it_o from_o sin_n it_o do_v work_v upon_o the_o soul_n in_o draw_v it_o to_o christ_n it_o pull_v off_o hope_n from_o the_o world_n and_o make_v it_o expect_v a_o christ_n it_o pull_v off_o desire_n from_o the_o world_n and_o make_v it_o long_o for_o christ_n it_o pull_v off_o love_n from_o the_o world_n and_o make_v it_o entertain_v a_o christ_n it_o pull_v off_o the_o will_n from_o the_o world_n and_o make_v it_o choose_v a_o christ_n so_o that_o one_o stroke_n do_v both_o and_o it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n must_v bring_v it_o unto_o christ_n the_o like_a phrase_n we_o have_v john_n 15.19_o i_o have_v call_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o so_o that_o it_o be_v there_o the_o same_o voice_n the_o same_o spirit_n that_o call_v a_o man_n from_o sin_n as_o that_o be_v not_o the_o way_n thou_o poor_a sinner_n the_o way_n of_o pride_n and_o idleness_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n now_o that_o call_v as_o it_o pull_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n so_o that_o motion_n and_o move_a and_o supernatural_a work_n that_o it_o leave_v upon_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n thereby_o be_v move_v and_o draw_v it_o be_v come_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o soul_n have_v not_o so_o much_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grain_n in_o he_o as_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n work_v upon_o he_o to_o draw_v he_o from_o evil_a and_o to_o turn_v he_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o work_n he_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o one_o and_o bring_v to_o the_o other_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o union_n that_o adam_n have_v with_o god_n and_o that_o which_o the_o faithful_a have_v adam_n have_v a_o stock_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n god_n make_v he_o wise_a and_o holy_a and_o righteous_a this_o be_v his_o stock_n he_o have_v a_o principle_n within_o himself_o either_o to_o hang_v upon_o god_n and_o so_o to_o be_v sustain_v or_o to_o slide_v and_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o god_n he_o have_v power_n either_o to_o hold_v or_o to_o let_v go_v he_o have_v the_o staff_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o may_v turn_v unto_o god_n and_o close_o with_o the_o command_n if_o he_o will_v or_o he_o may_v depart_v from_o god_n and_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o assistance_n which_o he_o lend_v he_o as_o he_o do_v but_o now_o here_o be_v a_o main_a difference_n in_o the_o bring_n of_o the_o heart_n home_o to_o christ_n in_o this_o union_n because_o the_o first_o stroke_n that_o draw_v the_o soul_n and_o bring_v the_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v not_o from_o any_o thing_n within_o so_o much_o as_o from_o the_o spirit_n without_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n it_o lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o heart_n and_o work_n upon_o the_o heart_n and_o bring_v he_o home_o to_o himself_o this_o first_o stroke_n be_v from_o without_o we_o do_v believe_v be_v frame_v thereunto_o and_o draw_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n the_o everlasting_a arm_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o appear_v in_o the_o gospel_n he_o let_v it_o down_o and_o work_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o bring_v the_o heart_n to_o himself_o and_o so_o the_o heart_n be_v bring_v to_o christ_n not_o from_o any_o principle_n first_o in_o itself_o but_o by_o the_o spirit_n that_o work_v upon_o it_o when_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v to_o the_o soul_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n accompany_v that_o word_n and_o pull_v the_o earthly_a mind_n from_o earthliness_n and_o the_o unclean_a heart_n from_o his_o lust_n and_o say_v come_v out_o thou_o poor_a soul_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o a_o christ_n that_o will_v pardon_v thou_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o a_o christ_n that_o will_v purge_v thou_o so_o that_o my_o soul_n move_v but_o it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v move_v my_o will_n close_v but_o it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v persuade_v so_o that_o the_o first_o stroke_n of_o this_o union_n be_v not_o from_o myself_o but_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n the_o hand_n of_o the_o spirit_n lay_v hold_v on_o i_o and_o draw_v i_o to_o he_o hence_o in_o the_o three_o place_n

to_o be_v forsake_v that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v forsake_v and_o to_o be_v condemn_v that_o we_o may_v be_v acquit_v oh_o all_o you_o stubborn_a heart_n that_o heretofore_o have_v make_v nothing_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o honour_n but_o though_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o the_o hammer_n can_v break_v your_o heart_n yet_o let_v this_o mercy_n break_v you_o and_o
