17._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v give_v unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o very_a name_n of_o god_n tell_v the_o believe_a corinthian_n that_o they_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o

that_o he_o may_v give_v he_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n he_o tell_v he_o verse_n 5._o that_o he_o have_v lie_v unto_o god_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o act._n 10._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o one_o place_n it_o be_v say_v that_o cornelius_n be_v warn_v of_o god_n to_o send_v for_o peter_n and_o in_o another_o place_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o holy_a

all_o thing_n even_o the_o secret_a or_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n now_o if_o to_o search_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o to_o know_v the_o secret_n thereof_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o as_o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v jer._n 17._o 10._o much_o more_o to_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o god_n be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o heb._n 9_o 14._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o eternity_n be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o express_a term_n call_v he_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o 1_o cor._n 12._o 9_o 10._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o power_n which_o the_o apostle_n have_v to_o work_v miracle_n and_o wonder_n be_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o to_o work_v miracle_n and_o wonder_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n to_o conclude_v if_o you_o look_v into_o 1_o pet._n 5._o 10._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n be_v style_v the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o ephe._n 5._o 9_o and_o into_o gal._n 5._o 22._o you_o shall_v find_v that_o all_o grace_n in_o the_o faithful_a be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v god_n &_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v evident_a by_o scripture_n that_o both_o the_o sun_n and_o

argument_n that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o advancement_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o debace_n of_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n for_o man_n doctrine_n do_v always_o

that_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o those_o book_n which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n be_v both_o above_o and_o opposite_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o man_n as_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o above_o the_o natural_a power_n of_o man_n to_o understand_v they_o but_o also_o direct_o contrary_a to_o his_o will_n to_o yield_v obedience_n thereunto_o there_o be_v neither_o precept_n nor_o prohibition_n contain_v in_o these_o book_n that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o man_n natural_a disposition_n but_o direct_o contrary_a thereunto_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o and_z takes_z notice_n of_o the_o disposition_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n but_o he_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o natural_o he_o bear_v little_a love_n to_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o by_o the_o little_a delight_n he_o have_v to_o read_v or_o meditate_v therein_o nay_o do_v we_o not_o see_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n those_o young_a man_n and_o other_o that_o have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v rather_o read_v in_o any_o vain_a book_n then_o in_o the_o bible_n whence_o we_o may_v true_o frame_v this_o argument_n that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n for_o man_n doctrine_n be_v always_o agreeable_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o man_n but_o the_o doctrine_n conain_v in_o those_o book_n which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n be_v direct_o opposite_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o these_o book_n must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n 5_o and_o in_o the_o five_o place_n i_o will_v beseech_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o these_o book_n which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n be_v altogether_o heavenly_a and_o savour_v nothing_o of_o a_o earthly_a and_o worldy_a affection_n but_o every_o where_o renounce_v and_o condemn_v the_o same_o they_o do_v whole_o tend_v to_o the_o withdraw_n of_o man_n from_o all_o earthly_a thing_n and_o to_o the_o lead_n of_o he_o to_o salvation_n in_o god_n these_o book_n do_v point_n out_o unto_o man_n wherein_o true_a and_o eternal_a blessedness_n do_v consist_v and_o how_o he_o may_v attain_v unto_o it_o there_o he_o may_v see_v how_o man_n by_o sin_n become_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o how_o he_o may_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n and_o save_v eternal_o there_o he_o may_v see_v the_o incomprehensible_a love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n towards_o man_n whence_o we_o may_v true_o frame_v this_o argument_n that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o withdraw_a of_o man_n from_o all_o earthly_a thing_n and_o to_o the_o lead_n of_o he_o to_o salvation_n in_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n but_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o those_o book_n which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n do_v whole_o tend_v to_o that_o end_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n 6_o and_o in_o the_o six_o place_n i_o will_v beseech_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o prophecy_v contain_v in_o those_o book_n which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n be_v not_o general_a doubtful_a and_o obscure_a as_o the_o oracle_n of_o the_o heathen_a be_v but_o particular_a and_o plain_a such_o as_o express_v the_o person_n and_o thing_n by_o their_o name_n as_o you_o

which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n a_o most_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a consent_n and_o agreement_n of_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o together_o though_o write_v in_o sundry_a age_n by_o sundry_a

entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o these_o book_n which_o we_o call_v the_o scripture_n have_v ever_o be_v hate_v and_o oppose_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o wicked_a man_n they_o have_v have_v
