sense_n and_o affect_v that_o which_o the_o mind_n affect_v and_o thus_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n hang_v upon_o the_o mind_n it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o the_o will_n of_o a_o man_n shall_v will_n and_o affect_v any_o other_o thing_n then_o that_o which_o the_o mind_n be_v affect_v with_o but_o here_o some_o question_n may_v be_v move_v the_o first_o question_n be_v this_o but_o be_v there_o such_o light_n in_o the_o understanding_n 1._o as_o you_o say_v than_o it_o seem_v that_o a_o natural_a man_n m●y_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n come_v unto_o true_a knowledge_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o a_o natural_a man_n may_v come_v for_o substance_n as_o far_o as_o a_o spiritual_a man_n but_o not_o in_o a_o right_a 1._o manner_n the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 8._o 5._o they_o that_o be_v of_o thing_n the_o flesh_n do_v savour_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 14._o the_o natural_a man_n perceive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n where_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o do_v not_o know_v they_o at_o all_o 14._o for_o he_o want_v a_o sanctify_a knowledge_n of_o they_o he_o know_v they_o but_o not_o by_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n always_o accompany_v with_o sanctification_n he_o know_v they_o for_o substance_n but_o not_o in_o the_o right_a manner_n as_o to_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o his_o life_n a_o carnal_a man_n may_v speak_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o not_o religious_o that_o be_v with_o a_o inward_a feel_n of_o that_o in_o his_o heart_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o so_o also_o a_o carnal_a man_n may_v have_v light_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o dark_a light_n he_o may_v have_v light_n in_o the_o understanding_n but_o it_o be_v not_o transcendent_a unto_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faculty_n to_o transform_v and_o enlighten_v they_o and_o therefore_o though_o he_o have_v light_a yet_o still_o he_o remain_v in_o darkness_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v this_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v heavenly_a mind_v a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v heavenly_a mind_v mind_v when_o there_o be_v a_o new_a life_n put_v into_o he_o whereby_o he_o be_v able_a both_o to_o see_v and_o to_o speak_v of_o spiritual_a matter_n in_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n then_o ever_o he_o be_v and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v ephes._n 4._o 23._o and_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o mind_n that_o be_v get_v a_o new_a 23._o kind_n of_o life_n and_o light_n in_o your_o soul_n for_o when_o christ_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n he_o put_v another_o kind_n of_o life_n into_o they_o than_o that_o which_o he_o have_v by_o nature_n the_o spirit_n work_v grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o grace_n make_v a_o light_n in_o the_o soul_n it_o make_v another_o kind_n of_o light_n then_o before_o for_o before_o there_o be_v but_o a_o natural_a light_n a_o sight_n of_o christ_n and_o salvation_n but_o with_o a_o natural_a eye_n but_o now_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a light_n in_o his_o soul_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o see_v christ_n in_o another_o manner_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o light_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o bore_v of_o the_o ear_n and_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n that_o be_v there_o be_v a_o change_n and_o alteration_n wrought_v in_o he_o whereby_o he_o can_v perceive_v spiritual_a thing_n his_o ear_n be_v open_v to_o hear_v the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n with_o a_o mind_n renew_v to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o they_o make_v they_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o life_n and_o his_o eye_n be_v open_v to_o see_v the_o excellency_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o remission_n of_o sin_n justification_n and_o reconciliation_n in_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n then_o before_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o new_a world_n wherehee_o see_v all_o thing_n in_o another_o mannerthen_n before_o now_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o see_v new_a thing_n but_o old_a thing_n in_o a_o new_a manner_n he_o see_v justification_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o reconciliation_n before_o but_o now_o he_o see_v these_o and_o christ_n in_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a window_n open_v unto_o he_o whereby_o he_o see_v christ_n in_o a_o more_o plain_a and_o excellent_a manner_n and_o hereupon_o he_o be_v assure_v in_o the_o way_n of_o confirmation_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o have_v a_o general_a trust_n in_o christ_n before_o and_o he_o see_v a_o glimpse_n of_o he_o but_o now_o he_o enjoy_v the_o full_a sight_n of_o he_o that_o be_v such_o a_o sight_n as_o bring_v true_a comfort_n unto_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o man_n that_o travel_v into_o a_o far_a country_n see_v at_o last_o those_o thing_n simile_n which_o before_o he_o see_v in_o a_o map_n he_o see_v they_o before_o but_o in_o a_o dar●e_a manner_n but_o now_o he_o have_v a_o more_o exact_a and_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o they_o even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o regenerate_a man_n he_o see_v christ_n and_o the_o privilege_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n before_o but_o dark_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o map_n only_o by_o a_o common_a illumination_n but_o now_o he_o see_v they_o by_o the_o special_a illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 2._o 9_o the_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o the_o ear_n

place_n of_o scripture_n be_v general_o expound_v and_o understand_v of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v much_o mistake_v for_o by_o this_o place_n be_v mean_v those_o spiritual_a object_n that_o be_v show_v unto_o a_o man_n when_o the_o spirit_n begin_v first_o to_o enlighten_v he_o the_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v that_o be_v which_o it_o have_v not_o see_v in_o a_o right_a manner_n he_o never_o see_v they_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o now_o they_o be_v show_v unto_o he_o he_o now_o see_v heavenly_a thing_n in_o another_o manner_n he_o see_v justification_n in_o another_o manner_n then_o before_o hec_fw-la see_v remission_n of_o sin_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o before_o so_o likewise_o he_o see_v sin_n in_o another_o hue_n than_o before_o for_o now_o he_o see_v remission_n of_o sin_n follow_v they_o as_o a_o medicine_n to_o heal_v they_o again_o he_o see_v justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o another_o hue_n he_o see_v they_o in_o a_o high_a manner_n than_o before_o he_o see_v they_o now_o as_o suitable_a to_o himself_o and_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n before_o he_o see_v they_o as_o good_a but_o now_o he_o see_v they_o as_o most_o excellent_a as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v well_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v simile_n not_o regenerate_v now_o tell_v a_o man_n that_o be_v well_o of_o balsam_n and_o cordial_n what_o restorative_n they_o be_v and_o what_o good_a they_o will_v do_v to_o the_o body_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o listen_v unto_o they_o because_o he_o be_v well_o and_o need_v they_o

with_o a_o spiritual_a man_n before_o he_o be_v regenerate_v he_o listen_v not_o he_o regard_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n when_o he_o hear_v of_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o slight_o pass_v they_o over_o because_o he_o feel_v himself_o in_o health_n and_o find_v no_o want_n of_o they_o for_o what_o shall_v a_o man_n take_v and_o apply_v a_o plaster_n to_o a_o whole_a

be_v heavenly_a mind_v a_o natural_a man_n or_o wom●n_n may_v talk_v of_o grace_n of_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o they_o can_v say_v that_o these_o be_v i_o or_o that_o i_o

this_o point_n first_o we_o will_v show_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v earthly_a mind_v second_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v heavenly_a mind_v for_o the_o first_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v earthly_a

man_n be_v enlighten_v by_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v see_v spiritual_a thing_n in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n howsoever_o i_o grant_v that_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n a_o man_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n thereby_o may_v come_v to_o discern_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n yet_o so_o as_o but_o by_o a_o commonillumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o we_o call_v it_o not_o as_o

of_o lose_v they_o not_o because_o they_o be_v heavenly_a thing_n but_o because_o they_o be_v sweet_a unto_o his_o nature_n beside_o the_o affection_n may_v restrain_v he_o and_o turn_v he_o from_o

remedy_n this_o be_v to_o gather_v strength_n the_o more_o strength_n we_o have_v the_o more_o able_a we_o be_v to_o resist_v temptation_n and_o as_o a_o man_n be_v weak_a so_o he_o be_v the_o more_o
