spirit_n and_o that_o arise_v from_o ignorance_n and_o that_o in_o three_o case_n first_o when_o a_o man_n have_v no_o knowledge_n in_o the_o word_n darkness_n make_v one_o fearful_a and_o cause_n error_n second_o when_o his_o conscience_n seem_v to_o be_v great_a than_o his_o knowledge_n as_o in_o scrupulosity_n three_o when_o he_o can_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o himself_o and_o satan_n in_o his_o temptation_n and_o abhor_a suggestion_n 4._o of_o this_o see_v note_n on_o james_n 4._o hence_o come_v horror_n perplexity_n these_o must_v be_v prevent_v first_o by_o stick_v only_o to_o the_o word_n which_o set_v our_o bound_n second_o by_o get_v knowledge_n in_o the_o word_n 1._o philip._n 1._o and_o a_o discern_a spirit_n three_o there_o be_v wound_v of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v usual_o do_v by_o sin_n against_o light_n and_o knowledge_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a light_n belong_v to_o god_n child_n first_o one_o of_o nature_n which_o be_v implant_v sin_n against_o this_o sting_n as_o unnatural_a lust_n murder_n &_o the_o like_a second_o one_o of_o scripture_n and_o acquire_v rather_o reveal_v light_n sin_n against_o this_o wound_n so_o much_o the_o more_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o clear_a the_o evidence_n be_v the_o most_o evident_a truth_n be_v the_o first_o principle_n which_o prove_v but_o need_v no_o proof_n thus_o first_o it_o be_v a_o sting_a sin_n to_o deny_v the_o scripture_n second_o to_o revege_v express_a truth_n therein_o contain_v or_o to_o disobey_v thing_n daily_o urge_v three_o of_o grace_n or_o infuse_a light_n thus_o when_o a_o man_n sin_n against_o knowledge_n purpose_n vow_v grace_v receive_v this_o be_v fearful_a and_o make_v many_o think_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v unpardonable_a and_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n four_o there_o be_v dead_v and_o sear_v of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o body_n be_v subject_a to_o two_o kind_n of_o disease_n and_o maim_n some_o that_o affect_v and_o afflict_v sense_n some_o that_o deprive_v of_o sense_n as_o violent_a blow_n palsy_n &c_n &c_n so_o be_v the_o spirit_n also_o now_o this_o be_v the_o most_o fearful_a case_n of_o all_o and_o come_v to_o pass_v three_o way_n first_o when_o man_n commit_v some_o horrible_a sin_n which_o strike_v out_o the_o eye_n or_o lay_v one_o for_o dead_a like_o a_o blow_n on_o the_o head_n second_o when_o they_o shun_v all_o mean_n of_o awaken_n conscience_n run_v from_o the_o word_n from_o saint_n that_o admonish_v from_o thought_n of_o death_n etc._n etc._n three_o when_o they_o force_v conscience_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o stop_v its_o mouth_n and_o to_o crush_v it_o for_o ever_o this_o be_v as_o sear_v after_o cut_v when_o a_o man_n never_o mean_v to_o have_v the_o part_n again_o but_o to_o take_v away_o all_o sense_n fear_v these_o disease_n above_o all_o three_o use_v 3_o this_o may_v be_v for_o comfort_n to_o those_o who_o conscience_n be_v not_o wound_v quest_n what_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o spirit_n heal_v and_o a_o spirit_n deadened_a or_o delude_v ans_fw-fr 1._o look_v to_o the_o mean_n and_o medicine_n heal_v whether_o our_o peace_n arise_v from_o faith_n repentance_n the_o word_n 2._o a_o heal_v conscience_n be_v pure_a and_o clear_a throughout_o the_o other_o spirit_n make_v no_o conscience_n at_o all_o or_o only_o of_o some_o thing_n 3.21_o 1_o pet._n 3.21_o 3._o a_o heal_v conscience_n make_v interrogatory_n to_o god_n first_o if_o doubt_v arise_v it_o say_v as_o rebecca_n 26._o gen._n 26._o why_o be_o i_o thus_o and_o pray_v to_o god_n the_o rest_n be_v stiff_a and_o shun_v all_o question_n 4._o a_o heal_v spirit_n pity_v other_o in_o this_o case_n the_o dead_a heart_n can_v abide_v the_o name_n of_o conscience_n but_o say_v as_o pilate_n what_o be_v truth_n so_o what_o be_v conscience_n the_o delude_a spirit_n be_v fierce_a towards_o all_o but_o those_o that_o be_v of_o his_o mind_n as_o all_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n prove_v now_o if_o our_o pulse_n beat_v right_a and_o we_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o a_o sanctify_a conscience_n keep_v it_o by_o two_o mean_n first_o by_o self_n denial_n a_o man_n must_v deny_v himself_o in_o his_o mean_n riches_n friend_n etc._n etc._n second_o in_o his_o hope_n and_o own_o worth_n first_o be_v nothing_o in_o himself_o second_o expect_v all_o from_o christ_n three_o in_o his_o sense_n and_o feeling_n he_o must_v wink_v and_o put_v himself_o into_o god_n hand_n that_o be_v live_v by_o faith_n as_o luther_n do_v rest_n on_o the_o naked_a word_n without_o any_o pawn_n as_o abraham_n do_v pity_v the_o wound_a spirit_n use_v 4_o if_o we_o hear_v that_o a_o man_n have_v break_v his_o leg_n or_o arm_n we_o pity_v he_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o bleed_v with_o the_o break_a heart_n and_o bleed_a spirit_n and_o furnish_v ourselves_o first_o with_o wisdom_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a second_o with_o love_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o succour_v such_o 43._o see_v note_n
