have_v they_o oppress_v he_o need_v say_v no_o more_o but_o let_v we_o a_o little_a view_n these_o nation_n that_o be_v join_v together_o they_o be_v very_o numerous_a very_o many_o the_o best_a

can_v hold_v up_o but_o sink_v further_o than_o there_o be_v some_o sensible_a visible_a thing_n to_o hold_v he_o up_o but_o the_o just_a those_o that_o be_v saint_n they_o have_v a_o art_n a_o

so_o go_v on_o as_o cheerful_o as_o if_o they_o do_v enjoy_v or_o as_o if_o they_o do_v see_v their_o deliverance_n thus_o habakkuk_n we_o read_v this_o proverb_n verse_n 1_o 2_o 3._o the_o vision_n be_v for_o a_o appoint_a time_n in_o the_o end_n it_o will_v speak_v and_o not_o lie_v though_o it_o tarry_v wait_v for_o it_o because_o it_o will_v sure_o come_v it_o will_v not_o tarry_v behold_v his_o soul_n which_o be_v lift_v up_o be_v not_o upright_o in_o he_o but_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n there_o be_v a_o vision_n that_o do_v promise_v good_a to_o this_o people_n but_o this_o vision_n must_v tarry_v a_o little_a it_o must_v not_o be_v perform_v present_o but_o they_o may_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o

the_o truth_n of_o the_o business_n and_o the_o sweet_a expectation_n they_o have_v of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v come_v already_o you_o have_v the_o proverb_n repeat_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n in_o this_o sense_n yet_o a_o little_a while_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v will_v come_v and_o will_v not_o tarry_v you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n say_v the_o apostle_n they_o be_v in_o great_a affliction_n there_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v help_v they_o but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n while_o the_o grass_n grow_v in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n he_o shall_v drive_v on_o and_o carry_v on_o the_o work_n and_o bear_v up_o himself_o and_o his_o spirit_n and_o his_o comfort_n and_o all_o on_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o shall_v do_v all_o this_o by_o his_o faith_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o lesson_n short_o though_o i_o be_v not_o able_a yet_o to_o clear_v this_o full_o to_o you_o for_o true_o this_o be_v a_o lesson_n wherein_o we_o still_o shall_v want_v light_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v it_o perfect_o it_o be_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n say_v the_o apostle_n that_o be_v we_o come_v from_o one_o degree_n of_o faith_n to_o another_o to_o live_v by_o faith_n there_o be_v many_o kind_n many_o degree_n of_o live_v by_o faith_n now_o this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o will_v commend_v to_o you_o and_o exhort_v you_o to_o that_o you_o will_v seek_v the_o lord_n and_o study_v the_o scripture_n that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o this_o that_o you_o may_v live_v by_o faith_n first_o of_o all_o in_o the_o grosser_n part_n of_o it_o concern_v sanctification_n that_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o be_v understand_v that_o you_o will_v not_o regard_v or_o weigh_v any_o thing_n in_o all_o your_o profession_n but_o what_o do_v come_v from_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n true_o much_o of_o our_o religion_n be_v a_o natural_a kind_n of_o religion_n and_o much_o of_o that_o which_o be_v like_o good_a in_o we_o do_v not_o spring_n from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o from_o he_o will_v never_o be_v accept_v by_o he_o we_o have_v many_o moral_a virtue_n from_o old_a adam_n that_o we_o gild_v over_o and_o account_v they_o grace_n but_o god_n loathe_v they_o we_o have_v many_o duty_n that_o we_o have_v take_v up_o in_o the_o imitation_n of_o other_o by_o good_a education_n or_o the_o power_n of_o the_o letter_n preach_v to_o we_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o life_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o holiness_n by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o like_o many_o professor_n study_v the_o muchness_n of_o religion_n or_o the_o plausiblenesse_n of_o it_o without_o as_o that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o preach_v as_o other_o preacher_n do_v and_o you_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v in_o a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n as_o other_o professor_n do_v this_o be_v nothing_o but_o let_v we_o labour_v that_o that_o little_a holiness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o may_v clear_o proceed_v from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n one_o have_v better_o have_v a_o garden_n of_o a_o few_o true_a and_o pleasant_a flower_n though_o there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o then_o to_o have_v a_o garden_n with_o some_o flower_n and_o a_o world_n of_o trash_n like_o flower_n there_o be_v no_o pleasure_n in_o it_o now_o i_o fear_v that_o much_o of_o thy_o best_a duty_n spring_v from_o old_a adam_n much_o of_o thy_o best_a prayer_n and_o much_o it_o may_v be_v of_o that_o religion_n whereby_o thou_o be_v account_v a_o professor_n much_o of_o it_o i_o fear_v be_v nothing_o but_o old_a adam_n and_o his_o ruin_n screw_v up_o and_o varnish_v or_o gild_a and_o not_o from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o remember_v this_o that_o as_o drunkenness_n and_o whoredom_n and_o those_o gross_a and_o scandalous_a work_n of_o darkness_n be_v call_v dead_a work_n so_o every_o grain_n every_o stamp_n of_o good_a in_o thou_o if_o it_o be_v not_o from_o the_o new_a adam_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a work_n i_o can_v show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v know_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o that_o the_o time_n be_v short_a and_o i_o must_v not_o hinder_v other_o occasion_n therefore_o i_o leave_v that_o upon_o your_o thought_n that_o you_o may_v pray_v to_o the_o lord_n lord_n i_o do_v not_o care_v how_o man_n conceive_v of_o i_o i_o care_v not_o though_o i_o be_v among_o the_o least_o of_o all_o saint_n as_o paul_n say_v if_o i_o be_v reckon_v the_o least_o of_o all_o saint_n so_o that_o that_o little_a saint-ship_n and_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o i_o flow_v from_o christ_n that_o it_o be_v a_o grace_n from_o his_o grace_n and_o light_n from_o his_o light_n but_o the_o other_o truth_n be_v wondrous_a hard_a to_o express_v that_o we_o shall_v in_o respect_n of_o justification_n and_o assurance_n learn_v the_o art_n of_o live_v by_o faith_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v away_o all_o comfortable_a object_n of_o sight_n and_o sense_n that_o we_o can_v see_v nothing_o we_o can_v pray_v at_o all_o we_o see_v corruption_n upon_o corruption_n and_o wave_n of_o temptation_n one_o upon_o another_o and_o no_o work_v within_o to_o relieve_v we_o that_o i_o be_o able_a then_o to_o live_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o see_v a_o righteousness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o build_v upon_o his_o word_n and_o covenant_n to_o hold_v myself_o and_o my_o assurance_n still_o i_o be_o a_o son_n still_o everlasting_a life_n belong_v to_o i_o still_o though_o i_o feel_v and_o

this_o be_v christ_n crucify_v and_o christ_n pour_v out_o of_o his_o spirit_n let_v the_o particle_n and_o the_o word_n run_v as_o they_o will_v this_o be_v the_o main_a that_o will_v hold_v as_o the_o gospel_n be_v intend_v and_o design_v for_o simple_a man_n more_o than_o other_o so_o with_o reverence_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o more_o simple_a plain_a thing_n than_o most_o man_n in_o the_o

the_o art_n etc._n etc._n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v learning_n to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a thing_n to_o perfect_v a_o man_n natural_n but_o i_o think_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o a_o man_n that_o save_o and_o clear_o know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v the_o fit_a man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o preacher_n we_o shall_v know_v thing_n a_o thousand_o fold_n better_o and_o clear_a than_o we_o do_v if_o we_o will_v judge_n of_o thing_n as_o god_n judge_v of_o they_o if_o we_o will_v use_v the_o language_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n if_o we_o will_v know_v a_o saint_n from_o a_o sinner_n as_o i_o say_v a_o man_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o another_o that_o be_v not_o this_o be_v the_o main_a way_n the_o chief_a essential_a difference_n the_o one_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o other_o have_v not_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o whether_o yonder_o man_n pray_v or_o fast_o or_o preach_v or_o repeat_v or_o whether_o he_o do_v many_o good_a outward_a moral_a thing_n but_o whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v now_o almost_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o name_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v i_o say_v distinguish_v man_n from_o man_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o labour_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o assure_v our_o self_n that_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v not_o rest_v in_o this_o that_o i_o have_v leave_v such_o sin_n or_o i_o do_v such_o duty_n but_o go_v on_o still_o till_o i_o come_v up_o to_o this_o that_o with_o all_o humility_n and_o thankfulness_n i_o may_v say_v god_n have_v give_v to_o i_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o my_o heart_n paul_n be_v humble_a and_o modest_a enough_o in_o his_o expression_n yet_o he_o can_v bold_o say_v he_o have_v the_o spirit_n we_o have_v the_o earnest_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o john_n can_v say_v so_o of_o other_o saint_n you_o have_v a_o unction_n or_o a_o anoint_v 1_o john_n 2._o and_o that_o be_v the_o bless_a spirit_n true_o belove_v it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n in_o respect_n of_o himself_o for_o a_o poor_a creature_n to_o see_v many_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o if_o we_o will_v resolve_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v to_o look_v on_o thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n look_v on_o they_o to_o use_v those_o phrase_n and_o expression_n and_o those_o notion_n we_o shall_v understand_v many_o mystery_n in_o godliness_n which_o now_o be_v little_o less_o than_o stumble_a block_n to_o we_o because_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o thwart_a wisdom_n in_o we_o that_o be_v cross_a to_o that_o god_n be_v now_o i_o tell_v you_o about_o to_o exalt_v the_o spirit_n yet_o not_o in_o a_o way_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n i_o mean_v therefore_o learn_v this_o lesson_n to_o strive_v for_o this_o as_o the_o chief_a thing_n to_o find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o you_o dwell_v and_o work_v in_o you_o because_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v one_o great_a promise_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n and_o all_o other_o promise_v belong_v to_o that_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v but_o one_o great_a promise_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n as_o christ_n call_v it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v teach_v we_o of_o late_a year_n to_o know_v his_o son_n christ_n crucify_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n where_o our_o righteousness_n lie_v etc._n etc._n so_o let_v we_o not_o think_v these_o speculation_n enough_o but_o take_v the_o other_o main_a thing_n that_o be_v as_o great_a as_o this_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o i_o may_v as_o well_o find_v the_o spirit_n work_v in_o i_o as_o to_o know_v without_o that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o i_o if_o religion_n be_v state_v aright_o i_o mean_v christianity_n christian_a religion_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o in_o book_n but_o the_o life_n of_o christianty_n it_o will_v be_v to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o to_o enjoy_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o when_o we_o read_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o cast_v up_o the_o bill_n of_o account_n when_o we_o have_v do_v there_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o the_o two_o hinge_n that_o all_o go_v on_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v deceive_v by_o notionall_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n only_o without_o you_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o glorious_a for_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o saint_n thou_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n real_o dwell_v in_o thou_o in_o its_o measure_n as_o true_o as_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ephes_n 1._o the_o latter_a end_n the_o spirit_n that_o work_v in_o they_o that_o believe_v o_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v a_o glorious_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o that_o not_o only_o make_v the_o grand_a difference_n between_o a_o saint_n and_o a_o sinner_n but_o even_o in_o a_o godly_a man_n the_o spirit_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o religion_n let_v the_o spirit_n but_o stir_n in_o he_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o dark_a yet_o all_o be_v light_a before_o he_o let_v the_o spirit_n come_v and_o comfort_v he_o though_o he_o be_v in_o chain_n of_o iron_n though_o he_o be_v in_o the_o great_a misery_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o he_o can_v sing_v psalm_n let_v the_o spirit_n be_v give_v he_o and_o then_o not_o only_a faith_n and_o the_o promise_n but_o grace_n and_o common_a providence_n every_o thing_n speak_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o his_o soul_n but_o let_v the_o spirit_n withdraw_v from_o he_o if_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o his_o spirit_n but_o for_o a_o moment_n even_o from_o the_o best_a saint_n his_o body_n and_o his_o soul_n be_v no_o better_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o than_o a_o mere_a carrion_n i_o allude_v to_o that_o of_o james_n the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n be_v dead_a so_o take_v the_o body_n and_o soul_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v dead_a dead_a what_o be_v that_o thus_o take_v a_o live_a body_n that_o i_o may_v follow_v the_o comparison_n a_o little_a there_o be_v no_o live_a body_n but_o he_o can_v do_v something_o though_o some_o can_v do_v more_o than_o other_o yet_o every_o live_a body_n can_v do_v something_o he_o can_v sit_v or_o walk_v or_o talk_v etc._n etc._n and_o as_o he_o can_v do_v some_o good_a so_o he_o can_v resist_v some_o evil_n if_o a_o man_n be_v die_v almost_o if_o you_o go_v to_o pour_v water_n in_o his_o throat_n he_o can_v turn_v his_o head_n aside_o but_o let_v the_o soul_n be_v away_o he_o can_v neither_o do_v any_o good_a i_o speak_v now_o of_o natural_a civil_a good_a or_o resist_v evil_a so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o soul_n let_v the_o lord_n take_v away_o his_o spirit_n and_o we_o be_v quite_o flat_a let_v the_o lord_n propose_v any_o good_a work_n to_o do_v let_v any_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n
