presence_n the_o soul_n know_v the_o aspect_n of_o the_o spirit_n better_a than_o we_o do_v the_o face_n of_o a_o friend_n the_o light_n of_o a_o presumptuous_a wretch_n be_v like_o a_o blaze_a comet_n and_o do_v but_o portend_v his_o ruin_n it_o carry_v a_o venomous_a and_o malignant_a influence_n in_o it_o and_o the_o light_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n be_v but_o a_o flash_n and_o coruscation_n very_o brief_a and_o transient_a a_o man_n may_v soon_o take_v a_o glowworm_n for_o the_o sun_n than_o a_o experience_a christian_n can_v take_v a_o false_a delusion_n for_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o there_o be_v a_o twin_n light_n spring_v from_o the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n try_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o morning_n in_o they_o the_o scripture_n be_v all_o indict_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n can_v contradict_v himself_o you_o do_v but_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n whoer'e_o you_o be_v that_o pretend_v to_o any_o revelation_n that_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o word_n nay_o the_o spirit_n have_v reveal_v his_o whole_a mind_n in_o the_o word_n and_o will_v give_v no_o other_o revelation_n any_o otherwise_o then_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o rebel_n against_o the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n he_o fhall_v never_o have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n while_o thou_o do_v not_o follow_v the_o direct_a light_n of_o the_o spirit_n thou_o shall_v never_o have_v the_o quicken_a and_o cherish_v beam_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o double_a testimony_n the_o spirit_n witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n and_o now_o you_o must_v know_v that_o 1._o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o own_o spirit_n and_o so_o that_o word_n rome_n 8_o be_v significant_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v proper_o of_o

spirit_n the_o spirit_n as_o it_o breathe_v when_o it_o please_v so_o it_o shine_v when_o it_o please_v too_o well_o than_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o christian_a who_o have_v but_o the_o single_a testimony_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n may_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o salvation_n mr._n perkin_n propound_v the_o case_n and_o resolve_v it_o thus_o if_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v want_v than_o the_o other_o testimony_n the_o sanctification_n of_o heart_n will_v suffice_v to_o assure_v we_o we_o know_v it_o sufficient_o to_o be_v true_a and_o not_o paint_a fire_n if_o there_o be_v heat_n though_o there_o be_v no_o flame_n thus_o he_o and_o his_o meaning_n be_v as_o indeed_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a assurance_n though_o not_o so_o bright_a a_o assurance_n i_o may_v see_v a_o thing_n certain_o by_o the_o light_n of_o a_o candle_n and_o yet_o i_o may_v see_v it_o more_o clear_o by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v that_o certainty_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o punto_n but_o may_v admit_v of_o a_o latitude_n and_o receive_v magìs_fw-la and_o minús_fw-la and_o the_o contrary_a principle_n do_v delude_v many_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a and_o infallible_a certainty_n in_o faith_n and_o by_o this_o i_o know_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n well_o but_o beside_o this_o i_o know_v it_o by_o reason_n and_o by_o unquestionable_a demonstration_n and_o i_o think_v this_o add_v to_o my_o certainty_n so_o here_o though_o one_o testimony_n be_v enough_o for_o assurance_n yet_o a_o double_a testimony_n make_v it_o more_o glorious_a certainty_n admit_v of_o degree_n and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v more_o certain_a of_o a_o thing_n that_o he_o be_v already_o certain_a of_o take_v two_o christian_n both_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o yet_o one_o may_v have_v a_o clear_a assurance_n than_o the_o other_o have_v one_o may_v have_v a_o double_a testimony_n and_o another_o but_o a_o single_a nay_o the_o same_o soul_n may_v have_v at_o one_o time_n a_o double_a testimony_n and_o at_o another_o but_o a_o single_a the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v and_o do_v often_o withdraw_v itself_o and_o leave_v only_o the_o witness_n of_o our_o own_o spirit_n and_o yet_o then_o the_o soul_n have_v assurance_n but_o yet_o the_o soul_n shall_v aim_v at_o the_o high_a plerophory_n at_o the_o top_n of_o assurance_n then_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n lest_o you_o put_v out_o your_o own_o joy_n grieve_v not_o so_o sweet_a a_o inhabitant_n that_o come_v to_o comfort_v you_o give_v he_o no_o cause_n to_o withdraw_v his_o light_n quest_n but_o what_o if_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n spirit_n nor_o of_o its_o own_o spirit_n neither_o
