every_o man_n conscience_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o people_n than_o desire_v a_o mediator_n that_o may_v speak_v and_o that_o god_n may_v speak_v no_o more_o another_o thing_n be_v signify_v by_o it_o that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o come_v to_o god_n by_o yield_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o mediator_n to_o go_v between_o god_n and_o he_o the_o other_o objection_n be_v from_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n object_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v we_o have_v a_o priest_n we_o have_v sacrifice_n we_o have_v diverse_a wash_n and_o rite_n &c_n &c_n we_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v save_v by_o they_o why_o may_v we_o not_o so_o still_o the_o answer_n to_o it_o be_v ans._n that_o these_o be_v but_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o letter_n for_o indeed_o all_o these_o do_v but_o clothe_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v deliver_v to_o the_o jew_n the_o ceremony_n do_v indeed_o but_o set_v it_o out_o they_o be_v but_o type_n and_o shadow_n by_o which_o it_o be_v express_v to_o the_o jew_n the_o jew_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o ignorance_n be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v the_o body_n for_o the_o clothes_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o letter_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v the_o sword_n for_o the_o sheath_n the_o kernel_n for_o the_o shell_n that_o be_v they_o can_v not_o see_v christ_n himself_o the_o inward_a promise_n but_o stick_v in_o the_o outward_a bark_n and_o rind_n of_o ceremony_n in_o the_o shell_n of_o they_o and_o so_o they_o become_v unprofitable_a but_o indeed_o those_o rite_n do_v nothing_o but_o clothe_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o set_v it_o forth_o to_o they_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o dispatch_a of_o those_o five_o thing_n now_o hence_o you_o see_v how_o those_o difficulty_n may_v be_v answer_v that_o i_o mention_v before_o for_o example_n it_o be_v say_v the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o the_o seed_n yet_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o we_o object_n and_o yet_o again_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o abraham_n how_o can_v all_o these_o stand_v together_o ans._n the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o the_o seed_n that_o be_v to_o christ_n himself_o those_o be_v these_o promise_n thou_o shall_v be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o kingdom_n of_o david_n thou_o shall_v sit_v in_o that_o throne_n thou_o shall_v be_v a_o prince_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o government_n shall_v be_v upon_o thy_o shoulder_n likewise_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o prophet_n to_o my_o people_n thou_o shall_v open_v the_o prison_n to_o the_o captive_n thou_o shall_v be_v anoint_a etc._n etc._n and_o then_o shall_v go_v and_o preach_v to_o they_o these_o be_v the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v unto_o the_o seed_n the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o we_o though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o covenant_n yet_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o the_o active_a part_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o messiah_n to_o the_o seed_n itself_o but_o the_o passive_a part_n those_o be_v the_o promise_n that_o belong_v to_o we_o you_o shall_v be_v teach_v you_o shall_v be_v make_v prophet_n likewise_o you_o shall_v have_v your_o sin_n forgive_v you_o shall_v have_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o priesthood_n make_v good_a unto_o you_o you_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o his_o government_n by_o a_o inherent_a righteousness_n that_o he_o shall_v work_v in_o you_o for_o you_o shall_v be_v make_v king_n so_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o us._n how_o be_v the_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o thou_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o be_v they_o be_v derivative_a promise_n the_o primitive_a and_o original_a be_v make_v to_o jesus_n christ_n but_o why_o be_v it_o say_v then_o that_o in_o abraham_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v the_o mean_v of_o it_o be_v this_o there_o be_v none_o that_o be_v ever_o partaker_n of_o these_o promise_n but_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v derive_v from_o abraham_n to_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o that_o ever_o have_v be_v since_o now_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v a_o child_n of_o abraham_n not_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o to_o be_v like_o abraham_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n why_o you_o be_v like_o he_o so_o that_o all_o that_o have_v faith_n be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n but_o more_o be_v mean_v then_o that_o i_o say_v all_o that_o do_v partake_v of_o this_o promise_a messiah_n be_v derive_v from_o abraham_n either_o derive_v from_o he_o or_o graft_v into_o he_o one_o of_o these_o two_o all_o that_o be_v save_v before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v either_o such_o as_o descend_v from_o he_o or_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o same_o nation_n but_o what_o do_v you_o say_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v now_o come_v in_o how_o do_v they_o receive_v from_o abraham_n how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v in_o abraham_n shall_v all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v bless_v belove_a 17._o you_o know_v it_o be_v say_v rom._n 11._o that_o the_o natural_a branch_n be_v break_v off_o and_o the_o wild_a olive_n be_v ingraft_v in_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n likewise_o why_o the_o law_n come_v from_o zion_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o gentile_n to_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o stock_n as_o it_o be_v he_o will_v have_v the_o law_n to_o proceed_v from_o jerusalem_n he_o will_v have_v they_o put_v into_o that_o family_n as_o the_o proselyte_n and_o so_o be_v all_o nation_n for_o they_o receive_v it_o from_o jerusalem_n for_o they_o have_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n commit_v to_o they_o all_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n receive_v they_o from_o they_o they_o draw_v that_o sap_n of_o knowledge_n from_o they_o so_o that_o they_o be_v graft_v in_o thus_o all_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n be_v bless_v in_o abraham_n and_o abraham_n be_v bless_v in_o the_o seed_n itself_o but_o yet_o one_o objection_n be_v behind_o that_o be_v how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v object_n that_o to_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n of_o regeneration_n shall_v be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n on_o our_o part_n you_o shall_v repent_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v renew_v and_o then_o you_o shall_v be_v forgive_v etc._n etc._n you_o shall_v have_v the_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o pa●t_n of_o the_o covenant_n on_o god_n part_n sai_z the_o lord_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n ezek._n 36._o 26._o i_o will_v give_v you_o etc._n etc._n there_o be_v a_o expression_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o condition_n that_o be_v require_v on_o our_o part_n belove_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v brief_o ans._n the_o condition_n that_o be_v require_v of_o we_o as_o part_v of_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o do_v of_o this_o the_o action_n the_o performance_n of_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o repent_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o newness_n of_o life_n but_o the_o ability_n by_o which_o we_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v these_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n on_o the_o lord_n pa●t_n to_o have_v new_a hea●t●_n and_o new_a spirit_n whereby_o we_o be_v able_a to_o repe●t_v and_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o amendment_n of_o life_n i_o say_v the_o inward_a ability_n the_o change_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o renew_n of_o we_o in_o th●_n spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n the_o writing_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o inward_a pa●ts_n that_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o god_n covenant_n but_o the_o do_v of_o this_o the_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o these_o inward_a ability_n of_o these_o inward_a habit_n and_o grace_n that_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n that_o thing_n be_v require_v in_o us._n as_o for_o example_n the_o very_a habit_n of_o faith_n the_o very_a grace_n and_o power_n of_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v it_o belong_v to_o he_o but_o to_o believe_v to_o take_v the_o promise_n to_o accept_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o receive_v he_o and_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n by_o he_o this_o be_v require_v as_o a_o condition_n on_o our_o part_n and_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o and_o for_o this_o point_n the_o next_o question_n we_o have_v to_o propound_v to_o you_o quest._n be_v this_o how_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v whether_o he_o be_v within_o

perfect_a heart_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o very_a story_n that_o i_o have_v now_o name_v bring_v in_o as_o a_o evidence_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o sound_a that_o his_o faith_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n so_o far_o his_o faith_n go_v thus_o far_o he_o do_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o faith_n that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o perfect_a work_n his_o faith_n have_v not_o another_o example_n be_v in_o rehoboam_n 4._o 2_o chron._n 11._o when_o the_o kingdom_n be_v divide_v and_o give_v to_o jeroboam_fw-la and_o the_o ten_o tribe_n have_v make_v that_o defection_n from_o rehoboam_n he_o gather_v together_o ninescore_o thousand_o fight_a man_n to_o go_v up_o against_o israel_n but_o say_v the_o text_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o shemaiah_n a_o man_n of_o god_n say_v speak_v to_o rehoboam_n the_o son_n of_o salomon_a king_n of_o judah_n and_o to_o all_o israel_n and_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n you_o shall_v not_o go_v up_o to_o fight_v against_o your_o brethren_n return_v every_o man_n to_o his_o house_n for_o this_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o i_o they_o obey_v therefore_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o return_v from_o go_v against_o jeroboam_fw-la you_o see_v here_o a_o very_a great_a work_n of_o faith_n that_o cause_v he_o to_o give_v over_o to_o sit_v down_o to_o be_v content_a to_o lose_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o to_o look_v no_o more_o after_o it_o that_o when_o he_o have_v a_o army_n ready_a of_o valiant_a man_n yet_o he_o be_v conteut_n to_o sit_v down_o though_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o sound-hearted_n yet_o faith_n have_v thus_o far_o a_o work_n in_o he_o and_o not_o only_o for_o this_o time_n but_o for_o three_o year_n after_o he_o cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o have_v not_o its_o perfect_a work_n it_o carry_v he_o not_o through_o for_o afterward_o he_o depart_v from_o the_o lord_n belove_v this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o unsound_a heart_n when_o faith_n shall_v go_v so_o far_o when_o it_o shall_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o do_v many_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o have_v not_o its_o perfect_a work_n we_o see_v the_o contrary_a in_o abraham_n 19_o rom._n 4._o 19_o when_o he_o be_v put_v to_o it_o when_o god_n have_v make_v he_o a_o promise_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n say_v the_o text_n he_o be_v not_o weak_a in_o the_o faith_n the_o meaning_n be_v he_o be_v not_o unsound_a but_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o faith_n what_o do_v he_o do_v how_o do_v that_o appear_v say_v he_o he_o go_v through_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v with_o such_o a_o promise_n he_o consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n that_o be_v dead_a for_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a nor_o he_o consider_v not_o the_o deadness_n of_o sarahs_n womb_n but_o say_v he_o he_o belee●ned_v that_o he_o be_v able_a that_o have_v promise_v this_o be_v give_v as_o a_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o make_v not_o a_o stand_n in_o such_o a_o difficult_a case_n for_o he_o be_v not_o unsound_a but_o he_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o faith_n so_o likewise_o when_o he_o come_v to_o offer_v his_o son_n here_o in_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o faith_n be_v see_v and_o belove_a by_o this_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o your_o heart_n be_v right_a if_o you_o suffer_v every_o grace_n to_o have_v its_o perfect_a work_n when_o your_o faith_n do_v not_o pick_v and_o choose_v and_o take_v here_o a_o promise_n and_o leave_v there_o another_o here_o to_o believe_v a_o threaten_a another_o not_o to_o believe_v here_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o a_o commandment_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o another_o case_n not_o to_o believe_v for_o so_o do_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o unsound_a heart_n if_o you_o object_n object_n but_o faith_n many_o time_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n in_o the_o saint_n as_o moses_n at_o the_o water_n of_o strife_n say_v the_o text_n he_o fail_v through_o unbelief_n and_o again_o david_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o saul_n to_o achis_n we_o see_v his_o faith_n there_o have_v not_o its_o perfect_a work_n so_o likewise_o peter_n when_o the_o wave_n begin_v to_o arise_v to_o swell_v and_o he_o begin_v to_o sink_v his_o faith_n have_v not_o a_o perfect_a work_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v ans._n that_o faith_n may_v have_v a_o perfect_a work_n that_o be_v there_o may_v be_v a_o aptness_n in_o it_o that_o ordinary_o it_o go_v through_o the_o work_n ●hough_o by_o some_o accident_n it_o may_v be_v hinder_v for_o mark_v the_o faith_n of_o those_o we_o see_v david_n though_o he_o fail_v at_o this_o time_n yet_o at_o other_o time_n he_o do_v not_o no_o more_o do_v moses_n nor_o peter_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o rise_v not_o from_o unsoundnesse_n from_o hollowness_n of_o the_o grace_n or_o of_o their_o heart_n interrupt_v but_o from_o some_o interueniall_a impediment_n some_o passion_n as_o it_o be_v a_o passion_n in_o moses_n he_o be_v distemper_v and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o fear_n a_o mist_n that_o be_v cast_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o peter_n at_o that_o time_n now_o you_o know_v a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o perfect_a eye_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o in_o a_o mist_n he_o may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o see_v as_o at_o other_o time_n and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o perfect_a hand_n and_o yet_o a_o fit_a of_o a_o palsy_n may_v make_v it_o shake_v and_o make_v it_o unfit_a for_o any_o thing_n so_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o perfect_a taste_n able_a to_o distinguish_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o yet_o when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o ague_n in_o such_o a_o fit_a he_o take_v thing_n amiss_o thing_n that_o be_v wholesome_a seem_v bitter_a to_o he_o so_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o may_v be_v sometime_o much_o imperfection_n admit_v when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o

these_o may_v be_v defect_n and_o yet_o the_o grace_n may_v be_v perfect_a but_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o ordinary_o it_o be_v not_o so_o it_o be_v but_o by_o accident_n and_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o now_o and_o then_o and_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n so_o to_o give_v you_o another_o instance_n truth_n or_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n this_o
