A91475	Good tydings for sinners, great ioy for saints; or, A word to the world, and two to those that are chosen out of the world. Wherein is held forth, first, the sweet tenders of grace from the father through the son to all dejected sinners; he invites them, he woes them, he intreats them, nay, he beseecheth them to accept of mercy. In the second part of this book, called, Two words to those chosen out of the world, is spoken to the saints under their severall forms, taking notice first of the things commendable in them: and in the second place reproving them for things amisse among them. With a short prophesie of the downfall of presbyterie, independencie, anabaptismie, vaine notions, free-will. With a brief description of a true church-state, against which the gates of Hell shall not prevaile; it being founded upon a rock, it will stand against all waves and storms, that either men or devils can raise against it. I will give you all one heart, and one way. Then the Lord shall be one, and his name one. / Robert Purnell.

which_o the_o unlearned_a understand_v not_o be_v this_o that_o the_o long_a suffering_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v salvation_n which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o salvation_n be_v can_v be_v understand_v by_o natural_a wisdom_n for_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o paul_n wisdom_n be_v spiritual_a and_o their_o unlearnednes_n there_o speak_v of_o be_v this_o that_o they_o have_v not_o that_o wisdom_n in_o which_o he_o know_v salvation_n that_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n for_o worldly_a wisdom_n they_o may_v have_v and_o be_v nevertheless_o ignorant_a of_o all_o spiritual_n three_o they_o be_v unlearned_a that_o be_v they_o have_v not_o the_o learning_n by_o which_o they_o may_v understand_v those_o thing_n in_o the_o sense_n which_o will_v tend_v to_o their_o salvation_n or_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o that_o sure_o be_v only_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n for_o else_o to_o wrest_v it_o to_o another_o sense_n can_v not_o be_v to_o their_o destruction_n four_o peter_n here_o exhort_v the_o saint_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o error_n of_o the_o wicked_a lest_o they_o also_o shall_v be_v lead_v away_o with_o it_o account_v it_o you_o see_v a_o wicked_a error_n and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n exhort_v they_o to_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v a_o thing_n contrary_n to_o that_o wicked_a error_n and_o a_o remedy_n against_o it_o now_o if_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o grow_v in_o grace_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o that_o error_n then_o it_o be_v most_o plain_a that_o their_o unlearnednesse_n which_o be_v there_o say_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o error_n be_v not_o of_o humane_a tongue_n and_o science_n for_o then_o peter_n will_v have_v bid_v they_o study_v these_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o error_n but_o it_o be_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v ignorant_a or_o unlearned_a and_o therefore_o he_o bid_v they_o grow_v in_o that_o grace_n and_o knowledge_n that_o they_o may_v not_o err_v so_o that_o that_o say_n of_o peter_n be_v thus_o true_o understand_v it_o be_v most_o plain_a that_o their_o unlearnednesse_n which_o cause_v they_o to_o err_v be_v their_o ignorance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o christ_n not_o of_o humane_a learning_n to_o which_o also_o let_v i_o add_v these_o rule_n viz._n first_o that_o a_o man_n principle_n by_o which_o he_o do_v converse_v with_o or_o apprehend_v any_o thing_n must_v be_v of_o a_o nature_n suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o he_o converse_v with_o or_o apprehend_v as_o in_o particular_a you_o can_v apprehend_v or_o discover_v any_o object_n of_o sense_n by_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n for_o example_n you_o can_v by_o your_o reason_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o your_o sense_n of_o hear_v apprehend_v or_o know_v that_o there_o be_v any_o sound_n or_o noise_n nor_o how_o it_o sound_v but_o the_o care_n and_o voice_n be_v suitable_a not_o a_o voice_n and_o another_o sense_n as_o we_o can_v see_v a_o voice_n etc._n etc._n just_o alike_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o reason_n mere_o natural_a to_o know_v spiritual_a thing_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o natural_a man_n know_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n nature_n have_v not_o a_o power_n suitable_a to_o attain_v to_o they_o second_o rule_n every_o evil_a or_o defect_n be_v remediable_a only_o by_o its_o contrary_a good_a or_o supply_v as_o darkness_n be_v remediable_a by_o light_n carnalnesse_n by_o spiritualnesse_n weakness_n by_o strength_n ignorance_n by_o knowledge_n etc._n etc._n which_o two_o rule_n if_o you_o observe_v they_o will_v help_v to_o the_o underderstanding_n of_o those_o word_n of_o peter_n but_o if_o yet_o you_o be_v persuade_v that_o your_o university_n learning_n can_v dive_v into_o the_o spiritual_a sense_n of_o scripture_n i_o
