every_o one_o of_o these_o premise_n and_o caution_n may_v be_v clear_o argue_v out_o both_o from_o manifest_a scripture_n and_o reason_n and_o demonstration_n which_o will_v if_o prosecute_v

man_n writing_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o some_o godly_a man_n whether_o a_o man_n justification_n may_v be_v know_v by_o his_o sanctification_n and_o by_o the_o mark_n and_o figne_n of_o sanctification_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o both_o the_o one_o party_n and_o the_o other_o yea_o the_o whole_a generation_n of_o holy_a one_o the_o

in_o these_o time_n when_o our_o division_n be_v both_o the_o study_n and_o advantage_n of_o our_o bloody_a enemy_n we_o will_v be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n at_o least_o so_o far_o as_o we_o reveal_v ourselves_o to_o the_o world_n it_o be_v very_o sad_a to_o see_v man_n even_o holy_a doubtless_o and_o godly_a to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o study_v to_o be_v quiet_a that_o they_o study_v to_o oppose_v

conscience_n a_o inquire_a and_o search_v spirit_n after_o the_o thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v very_o commendable_a but_o yet_o with_o special_a respect_n to_o the_o community_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o church_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o suffer_v much_o disadvantage_n by_o our_o neglect_n this_o way_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n this_o i_o think_v will_v be_v grant_v that_o for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v his_o interest_n in_o god_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o part_n of_o sanctification_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o any_o other_o way_n and_o therefore_o at_o least_o in_o some_o sense_n it_o be_v to_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o justification_n be_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o sanctification_n again_o this_o i_o think_v will_v be_v likewise_o grant_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o justification_n and_o not_o be_v sanctify_v that_o he_o can_v know_v his_o justification_n without_o sanctification_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a and_o difficult_a thing_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o holiness_n and_o supernatural_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v so_o deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v so_o many_o counterfeit_a quallification_n and_o common_a gift_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v grant_v also_o that_o many_o delude_a hypocrite_n think_v great_a matter_n of_o their_o conceit_a holiness_n from_o such_o and_o such_o quallisication_n wrought_v within_o they_o and_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n do_v by_o they_o and_o many_o also_o who_o heart_n be_v most_o upright_o with_o their_o god_n yet_o through_o ignorance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o consciousness_n of_o their_o own_o guilt_n misjudge_v of_o their_o own_o happy_a estate_n and_o so_o err_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n yet_o this_o i_o think_v be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v viz._n that_o the_o mean_a saint_n have_v peculiar_a and_o fingular_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o their_o very_a worst_a condition_n of_o soul_n which_o the_o most_o glorious_a hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n never_o have_v in_o their_o best_a condition_n and_o great_a inlargement_n in_o their_o heart_n these_o consideration_n be_v premise_v the_o result_n herein_o will_v be_v this_o that_o as_o inward_a quallification_n be_v to_o be_v heed_v i_o mean_v in_o use_v they_o as_o satisfactory_a mark_n of_o a_o undoubted_a condition_n ☞_o ☞_o sound_n and_o
