truth_n and_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v truth_n god_n be_v a_o god_n of_o truth_n that_o can_v lie_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o lye_n use_v 2._o it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o encouragement_n to_o every_o one_o of_o we_o this_o day_n that_o be_v before_o the_o lord_n to_o receive_v the_o testimony_n that_o god_n give_v we_o to_o believe_v what_o jesus_n christ_n do_v speak_v because_o

to_o please_v he_o have_v speak_v somewhat_o large_o concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n from_o another_o scripture_n i_o shall_v desire_v a_o little_a to_o go_v on_o to_o back_o it_o and_o oh_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v back_v it_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v choose_v this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n brief_o a_o little_a for_o the_o coherence_n the_o apostle_n paul_n for_o most_o probable_o he_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o this_o epistle_n have_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n exhort_v these_o jew_n or_o hebrew_n to_o who_o he_o write_v to_o persevere_v and_o to_o be_v constant_a in_o the_o faith_n take_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o chapter_n if_o any_o man_n draw_v back_o or_o do_v not_o persevere_v my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o now_o i_o say_v have_v exhort_v they_o to_o persevere_v in_o the_o faith_n both_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n he_o come_v in_o this_o chapter_n to_o commend_v the_o grace_n of_o faith_n to_o they_o and_o that_o first_o by_o lay_v down_o a_o description_n of_o it_o for_o say_v he_o this_o grace_n of_o faith_n do_v make_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v absent_a whether_o past_a or_o future_a as_o if_o they_o be_v present_a if_o we_o look_v by_o faith_n back_o upon_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o see_v how_o the_o world_n be_v make_v out_o of_o nothing_o faith_n will_v help_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o present_v and_o so_o we_o may_v look_v upon_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o faith_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o thing_n hope_v for_o and_o the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v whether_o past_a or_o to_o come_v but_o then_o second_o he_o commend_v faith_n by_o the_o excellent_a effect_n of_o it_o that_o have_v be_v find_v in_o the_o faithful_a in_o all_o age_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o you_o observe_v it_o look_v upon_o the_o chapter_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o he_o give_v instance_n and_o example_n both_o of_o those_o faithful_a that_o be_v before_o the_o flood_n and_o also_o of_o such_o as_o be_v after_o the_o flood_n to_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n and_o then_o also_o of_o those_o faithful_a one_o that_o live_v after_o the_o law_n until_o the_o capivity_n and_o then_o of_o those_o that_o live_v after_o the_o captivity_n until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n all_o these_o he_o instance_n in_o this_o chapter_n now_o first_o for_o these_o faithful_a one_o that_o live_v before_o the_o flood_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n in_o they_o here_o he_o do_v lay_v down_o and_o mention_v three_o example_n especial_o first_o he_o do_v instance_n in_o the_o example_n of_o abel_n and_o of_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n in_o he_o second_o he_o do_v instance_n also_o in_o faithful_a enoch_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o three_o the_o example_n of_o noah_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o what_o be_v the_o general_a effect_n of_o their_o faith_n why_o the_o great_a and_o general_a effect_n of_o all_o their_o faith_n be_v that_o by_o their_o faith_n they_o please_v god_n say_v he_o first_o for_o abel_n at_o the_o four_o verse_n abel_n he_o offer_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n by_o faith_n that_o please_v god_n by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v unto_o god_n a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n or_o a_o more_o please_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o his_o offering_n be_v please_v unto_o god_n and_o again_o he_o instance_n in_o enoch_n by_o faith_n enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n and_o please_v god_n for_o so_o he_o say_v express_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 5_o verse_n that_o he_o have_v this_o testimony_n that_o he_o please_v god_n and_o then_o for_o noah_n he_o also_o by_o his_o faith_n please_v god_n how_o do_v that_o appear_v why_o he_o find_v grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n god_n instruct_v he_o to_o build_v a_o ark_n whereby_o he_o and_o his_o family_n may_v be_v preserve_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o general_n flood_n he_o find_v favour_n with_o god_n and_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n express_v it_o verse_n 7._o by_o faith_n noah_n be_v warn_v of_o god_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v as_o yet_o move_v with_o fear_n prepare_v a_o ark_n etc._n etc._n but_o now_o this_o scripture_n that_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o it_o be_v from_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o enoch_n enoch_n by_o faith_n he_o please_v god_n for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 5._o verse_n just_a before_o the_o text_n before_o his_o translation_n he_o have_v this_o testimony_n that_o he_o please_v god_n he_o have_v this_o testimony_n where_o have_v he_o this_o testimony_n and_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v this_o testimony_n concern_v enoch_n the_o place_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o refer_v and_o relate_v to_o be_v that_o in_o the_o 5_o of_o genesis_n the_o 22_o 23_o 24._o verse_n if_o you_o consult_v the_o place_n you_o will_v find_v never_o a_o word_n speak_v that_o enoch_n please_v god_n not_o express_o it_o be_v say_v enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n after_o he_o beget_v methusalah_n three_o hundred_o year_n and_o beget_v son_n and_o daughter_n and_o all_o the_o day_n of_o enoch_n be_v three_o hundred_o sixty_o and_o five_o year_n and_o enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n and_o he_o be_v not_o for_o god_n take_v he_o where_o be_v here_o any_o word_n express_v that_o enoch_n please_v god_n yet_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n he_o have_v this_o testimony_n that_o he_o please_v god_n why_o it_o must_v be_v in_o this_o place_n or_o no_o where_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o where_o express_o say_v that_o he_o please_v god_n how_o then_o can_v the_o apostle_n say_v here_o that_o he_o have_v a_o testimony_n that_o he_o please_v god_n for_o answer_v though_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o express_a term_n that_o enoch_n please_v god_n yet_o here_o be_v that_o speak_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o that_o be_v equivolent_a to_o it_o for_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v he_o walk_v with_o god_n it_o hold_v forth_o that_o he_o please_v god_n for_o can_v two_o walk_v together_o if_o they_o be_v not_o agree_v if_o they_o be_v not_o please_v one_o to_o another_o can_v enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n if_o god_n be_v not_o please_v with_o he_o the_o very_o express_v of_o it_o again_o and_o again_o that_o enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n it_o hold_v forth_o this_o testimony_n that_o enoch_n please_v god_n and_o again_o the_o lord_n take_v of_o he_o to_o himself_o in_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a way_n and_o manner_n be_v a_o plain_a testimony_n that_o he_o please_v god_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o have_v this_o testimony_n before_o his_o translation_n that_o he_o please_v god_n he_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o god_n take_v he_o here_o be_v a_o plain_a testimony_n that_o he_o please_v god_n now_o this_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o enoch_n please_v god_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v by_o

that_o give_v alm_n they_o perform_v the_o very_a same_o duty_n the_o one_o give_v as_o much_o alm_n as_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o what_o the_o one_o do_v may_v be_v accept_v with_o god_n and_o please_v to_o he_o and_o the_o other_o not_o whence_o come_v the_o difference_n one_o do_v it_o in_o faith_n and_o the_o other_o not_o abel_n and_o cain_n bring_v their_o offering_n to_o god_n god_n have_v respect_n to_o abel_n and_o his_o offer_n and_o god_n have_v not_o respect_n to_o cain_n and_o his_o offer_n what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o difference_n say_v the_o apostle_n by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v a_o more_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n well_o but_o what_o faith_n be_v it_o then_o whereby_o a_o soul_n and_o his_o duty_n and_o service_n come_v to_o be_v please_v unto_o god_n answ_n brethren_n do_v not_o mistake_v yourselves_o it_o be_v not_o that_o faith_n whereby_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n give_v his_o consent_n to_o and_o believe_v all_o that_o be_v write_v

tell_v a_o lie_n in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o angel_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o she_o please_v god_n and_o so_o i_o may_v instance_n in_o other_o david_n please_v god_n by_o faith_n david_n have_v his_o fail_n and_o do_v sometime_o displease_v god_n but_o yet_o by_o his_o faith_n he_o do_v please_v god_n and_o so_o look_v upon_o all_o those_o that_o have_v be_v believer_n by_o their_o act_n and_o exercise_v of_o of_o faith_n they_o have_v all_o of_o they_o come_v to_o please_v god_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v take_v it_o up_o for_o a_o general_a conclusion_n and_o may_v be_v confident_a of_o it_o that_o by_o faith_n we_o shall_v please_v god_n 2._o the_o holy-ghost_n do_v testify_v in_o the_o scripture_n again_o and_o again_o that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n by_o faith_n do_v live_v what_o life_n not_o a_o natural_a but_o a_o spiritual_a life_n now_o to_o live_v be_v not_o only_o to_o have_v the_o life_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o life_n of_o sanctification_n but_o to_o live_v be_v to_o have_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o have_v god_n please_v with_o a_o person_n that_o be_v to_o live_v say_v abraham_n to_o god_n in_o the_o 17_o of_o genesis_n oh_o that_o ishmael_n may_v live_v in_o thy_o sight_n what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o that_o what_o that_o his_o life_n may_v be_v lengthen_v out_o no_o but_o that_o he_o may_v find_v favour_n in_o thy_o sight_n and_o say_v the_o prophet_n in_o psal_n 30.5_o in_o thy_o favour_n be_v life_n and_o so_o in_o isaiah_n 6.55_o harken_v unto_o i_o and_o your_o soul_n shall_v live_v that_o be_v you_o shall_v please_v god_n and_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n now_o then_o this_o be_v frequent_a in_o scripture_n that_o all_o that_o be_v believer_n do_v live_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n both_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o new-testament_n bear_v witness_n to_o it_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o old-testament_n habakkuk_n 2.4_o and_o repeat_v again_o in_o the_o new_a hebrew_n 10.38_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n therefore_o it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n and_o question_n three_o by_o faith_n a_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n take_v away_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v that_o whereby_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n do_v displease_v god_n namely_o by_o his_o sin_n guilt_n do_v displease_v god_n now_o then_o faith_n be_v a_o mean_n and_o instrument_n to_o take_v away_o that_o which_o be_v displease_v to_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o act_n 10.43_o say_v peter_n there_o to_o cornelius_n to_o he_o give_v all_o the_o prophet_n witness_n that_o through_o his_o name_n whosoever_o beleive_v on_o he_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o chapter_n 13.38_o 39_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o therefore_o man_n and_o brethren_n that_o through_o this_o man_n be_v preach_v unto_o you_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o you_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n by_o believe_v on_o he_o we_o come_v to_o receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o act_n 26.18_o that_o they_o may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o inheritance_n among_o they_o which_o be_v sanctify_v through_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o i_o now_o then_o if_o so_o be_v that_o all_o believer_n all_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o do_v exercise_v their_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v justify_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n than_o they_o be_v free_v from_o all_o that_o make_v they_o displease_v to_o god_n then_o by_o faith_n they_o come_v to_o please_v god_n because_o by_o faith_n the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v remove_v which_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o god_n displeasure_n four_o and_o last_o to_o have_v do_v by_o faith_n a_o man_n or_o woman_n come_v to_o please_v god_n because_o by_o faith_n now_o the_o very_a heart_n which_o be_v a_o fountain_n of_o uncleanness_n come_v to_o be_v make_v clean_o this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o have_v our_o heart_n purify_v and_o cleanse_v purify_n their_o heart_n by_o faith_n say_v the_o apostle_n act_v 15.9_o so_o in_o 1_o timothy_n 1.5_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a i'faith_o unfeigned_a be_v the_o mean_n whereby_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v and_o true_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o believer_n be_v call_v clean_o all_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o do_v exercise_v their_o faith_n in_o christ_n they_o be_v all_o pure_a and_o every_o thing_n be_v clean_o to_o they_o titus_n 1.15_o to_o the_o pure_a all_o thing_n be_v pure_a who_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o pure_a mark_v now_o by_o the_o contrary_a but_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v defile_v and_o unbelieving_a be_v nothing_o pure_a but_o their_o very_a conscience_n be_v defile_v by_o faith_n now_o a_o man_n heart_n come_v to_o be_v pure_a which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o his_o action_n all_o that_o he_o perform_v and_o do_v it_o must_v come_v from_o the_o heart_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v clean_a if_o the_o fountain_n be_v clean_a than_o the_o water_n that_o flow_v from_o the_o fountain_n be_v clean_o so_o now_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n now_o the_o action_n come_v to_o be_v pure_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n to_o a_o believer_n every_o thing_n be_v pure_a all_o that_o he_o meddle_v with_o and_o undertake_v if_o he_o do_v act_n faith_n in_o it_o he_o please_v god_n so_o now_o you_o have_v see_v the_o four_o thing_n open_v how_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o by_o faith_n we_o come_v to_o please_v god_n now_o there_o be_v a_o further_a question_n remain_v but_o may_v not_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n please_v god_n without_o faith_n by_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v command_v as_o now_o to_o pray_v and_o perform_v duty_n to_o walk_v upright_o &_o c_o as_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o world_n do_v think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o please_v god_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o we_o shall_v do_v those_o thing_n and_o the_o thing_n themselves_o as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o be_v please_v to_o god_n but_o yet_o still_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n how_o that_o appear_v follow_v to_o be_v speak_v to_o in_o the_o next_o place_n and_o then_o come_v to_o the_o application_n but_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o present_a sermon_n v._n hebrew_n xi_o 6._o but_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v he_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o dependence_n of_o these_o word_n upon_o the_o forego_n we_o come_v direct_o to_o open_v the_o proposition_n as_o it_o lay_v before_o we_o in_o the_o word_n doct._n that_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n alive_a ever_o to_o please_v god_n we_o have_v show_v you_o first_o what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o please_v god_n second_o we_o have_v prove_v to_o you_o that_o this_o please_a of_o god_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o very_o great_a concernment_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o desirable_a for_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o be_v find_v please_n god_n and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o come_v to_o inquire_v what_o faith_n that_o be_v without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n and_o then_o fourthly_a we_o come_v to_o clear_v it_o up_o to_o you_o that_o by_o faith_n a_o soul_n do_v please_v god_n thus_o far_o we_o have_v go_v 5._o now_o we_o come_v in_o the_o five_o place_n to_o give_v you_o some_o demonstration_n to_o make_v it_o evident_a to_o you_o if_o the_o lord_n please_v to_o set_v in_o with_o it_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n ever_o to_o please_v god_n without_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o only_o say_v here_o that_o without_o faith_n a_o man_n have_v not_o please_v god_n or_o without_o faith_n no_o man_n ever_o shall_v please_v god_n but_o he_o speak_v a_o great_a word_n without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n this_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o it_o will_v hardly_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n
