A01028	A letter first written and sent by Io. Forbes, pastour of the English Church at Middelburgh vnto certen of the companie of marchands adventurers at Stoade, at their earnest desire, for resolving this question: how a Christian man may discerne the testimonie of Gods spirit, from the testimonie of his owne spirit, in witnessing his adoption. And now againe renewed and enlarged by the authour, at the desire of divers good Christians, for the comfort of their troubled co[n]sciences, and published by those of his flocke, to whom he did dedicate it for the publike vse of the Church.

not_o only_o a_o evidence_n that_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o also_o a_o witness_n of_o our_o adoption_n make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o that_o the_o spirit_n have_v wrought_v in_o we_o that_o work_n of_o liberty_n whereof_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v touch_v the_o first_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o without_o the_o spirit_n we_o can_v not_o pray_v unto_o god_n as_o testify_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o roman_n 26_o say_v the_o spirit_n also_o help_v our_o infirmity_n for_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o catch_v but_o the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v request_n for_o we_o with_o sigh_n that_o can_v not_o be_v express_v conform_v to_o this_o also_o do_v the_o same_o apostle_n say_v in_o that_o same_o place_n 23_o we_o also_o who_o have_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n even_o we_o do_v sigh_v in_o ourselves_o waitinge_v for_o the_o adoption_n and_o this_o be_v clear_o confirm_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n zacharie_n 10._o in_o that_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v pour_v upon_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o upon_o the_o inhabitane_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o compassion_n and_o they_o shall_v look_v upon_o i_o who_o they_o have_v parch_a and_o they_o shall_v lament_v for_o he_o etc._n etc._n the_o verity_n of_o this_o point_n may_v be_v show_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o prayer_n in_o which_o first_o it_o be_v require_v that_o it_o be_v make_v unto_o god_n second_o that_o it_o be_v make_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n three_o that_o it_o be_v make_v accord_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o first_o it_o can_v be_v without_o the_o spirit_n because_o we_o have_v no_o entrance_n nor_o access_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n this_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o apostle_n say_v 18._o for_o through_o he_o we_o both_o have_v access_n to_o tbe_n father_n by_o one_o spirit_n second_o we_o can_v not_o pray_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n except_o we_o acknowledge_v god_n his_o father_n and_o in_o he_o our_o father_n which_o we_o can_v never_o do_v except_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n for_o as_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o spirit_n bear_v witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n 16._o that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n three_o no_o prayer_n can_v be_v make_v accord_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n because_o none_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n 1●_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god._n 27._o according_a to_o which_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o that_o searce_v the_o heart_n know_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o he_o make_v intercession_n for_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o all_o these_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o none_o can_v pray_v which_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o babble_n of_o hypocrite_n be_v no_o prayer_n see_v it_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o prayer_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o prayer_n be_v it_o confession_n petition_n supplication_z or_o give_v of_o thanks_n must_v still_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o pray_v always_o in_o all_o manner_n of_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n in_o the_o spirit_n 18._o moreover_o this_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o witness_n of_o our_o adoption_n and_o of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o freedom_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o apostle_n first_o in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o by_o this_o spirit_n we_o cry_v abba_n father_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n to_o witness_v the_o same_o truth_n say_v in_o another_o place_n because_o you_o be_v son_n god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n 6._o cry_v abba_n father_n which_o cry_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v not_o be_v in_o we_o until_o first_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n see_v this_o cry_n contain_v in_o it_o a_o plain_a profession_n of_o our_o adoption_n while_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o do_v call_v upon_o god_n as_o our_o father_n and_o make_v we_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n second_o this_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o description_n which_o the_o apostle_n set_v down_o of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n 15_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n unto_o fear_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o by_o the_o contrary_a may_v be_v understand_v to_o comprehend_v freedom_n and_o liberty_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o of_o the_o apostle_n 17._o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n for_o they_o who_o live_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o band_n of_o iniquity_n not_o yet_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o joyful_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n can_v never_o with_o boldness_n approach_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n as_o their_o father_n hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n absolute_o conclude_v 32._o that_o whosoever_o shall_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v 13._o because_o no_o man_n can_v call_v upon_o god_n until_o he_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v his_o god_n and_o he_o his_o son_n in_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n 10._o how_o shall_v they_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o who_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v this_o show_v plain_o that_o the_o spirit_n cry_v or_o our_o call_n upon_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n as_o out_o father_n be_v a_o sure_a testimony_n of_o our_o adoption_n and_o seal_v of_o our_o effectual_a call_n therefore_o under_o the_o call_n upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v oft_o set_v down_o the_o true_a and_o infallible_a description_n of_o god_n child_n as_o namely_o to_o the_o corinthian_n unto_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o be_v at_o corinth_n 2_o with_o all_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o every_o place_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n show_v that_o the_o foundation_n of_o god_n which_o remain_v sure_a that_o be_v the_o election_n of_o god_n have_v this_o seal_n let_v every_o one_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n 19_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n declare_v plain_o that_o to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o be_v one_o of_o god_n elect_a child_n which_o in_o that_o same_o place_n be_v make_v manifest_a 22._o by_o this_o other_o sentence_n follow_v after_o righteousness_n faith_n love_n and_o peace_n with_o they_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o pure_a heart_n thus_o we_o be_v to_o take_v our_o call_n or_o cryinge_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o boldness_n in_o that_o confidence_n and_o assruance_n which_o faith_n bring_v for_o a_o sure_a testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n possess_v our_o heart_n and_o so_o of_o our_o adoption_n the_o other_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o wit_n when_o the_o spirit_n speak_v from_o god_n to_o we_o be_v likewise_o a_o most_o solid_a firm_a and_o infallible_a testimony_n of_o our_o adoption_n and_o this_o sort_n of_o voice_n be_v that_o whereof_o the_o prophet_n speak_v 21._o and_o thy_o ear_n shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o one_o behind_o thou_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n etc._n etc._n of_o the_o same_o do_v the_o lord_n speak_v in_o another_o place_n say_v i_o will_v allure_v she_o and_o bring_v she_o in_o the_o wilderness_n 14_o and_o speak_v kind_o unto_o she_o which_o place_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o his_o church_n in_o the_o external_a ministry_n of_o his_o word_n but_o be_v special_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o inward_a work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n of_o which_o sort_n of_o voice_n david_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v to_o the_o lord_n 8._o let_v i_o hear_v joy_n and_o gladness_n that_o the_o bone_n which_o thou_o have_v break_v may_v rejoice_v and_o this_o sort_n of_o voice_n be_v three_o fold_n for_o it_o consist_v either_o in_o god_n teach_v or_o in_o his_o confirminge_v of_o that_o which_o he_o teach_v or_o then_o in_o his_o comfort_v of_o his_o child_n in_o their_o affliction_n of_o the_o first_o that_o be_v his_o teach_a voice_n we_o have_v speak_v before_o for_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n speak_v to_o we_o
