sanctification_n so_o far_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v as_o a_o low_a motive_n and_o more_o carnal_o mix_v and_o uncertain_a way_n of_o persuasion_n and_o assurance_n of_o justification_n but_o a_o

be_v in_o neither_o of_o they_o just_o in_o they_o i_o mean_v in_o those_o of_o both_o that_o can_v spiritual_o judge_v but_o there_o be_v some_o expression_n on_o both_o part_n which_o make_v the_o one_o pass_v for_o legal_a teacher_n and_o the_o other_o for_o antinomian_n the_o one_o give_v too_o much_o in_o their_o sermon_n and_o book_n to_o faith_n and_o work_n in_o a_o unwarrantable_a

the_o latter_a i_o must_v prefer_v before_o the_o former_a for_o if_o i_o must_v err_v i_o have_v rather_o cry_v down_o man_n to_o exalt_v christ_n than_o christ_n to_o exalt_v man_n though_o i_o will_v do_v neither_o but_o let_v both_o have_v their_o place_n and_o order_n in_o this_o point_n i_o hope_v in_o the_o lord_n to_o keep_v from_o dash_v against_o the_o scripture_n either_o way_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n light_v my_o candle_n the_o doubt_n because_o i_o feel_v not_o myself_o sanctify_v i_o fear_v i_o be_o not_o justify_v the_o doubt_n be_v thus_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o particular_n 1._o if_o you_o suppose_v that_o god_n take_v in_o any_o part_n of_o your_o faith_n repentance_n or_o new_a obedience_n or_o sanctification_n as_o a_o ground_n upon_o which_o he_o justify_v or_o forgive_v you_o you_o be_v clear_a against_o the_o word_n for_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o grace_n otherwise_o work_n be_v no_o more_o work_n 2._o it_o must_v then_o be_v only_o the_o evidence_n of_o your_o be_v justify_v that_o you_o seek_v for_o in_o your_o sanctification_n and_o these_o two_o thing_n premise_v i_o now_o proceed_v 1._o we_o must_v allow_v any_o to_o take_v in_o any_o thing_n of_o their_o sanctification_n to_o help_v their_o assurance_n which_o the_o word_n allow_v as_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o

these_o follow_a thing_n 1._o christ_n sanctification_n to_o we_o or_o his_o true_a holiness_n 2._o faith_n about_o our_o own_o sanctification_n 1._o as_o first_o christ_n be_v reveal_v to_o be_v

jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v the_o chief_a corner_n stone_n christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n that_o new_a man_n which_o after_o god_n be_v create_v in_o righteousness_n and_o

through_o christ_n which_o strengthen_v i_o that_o we_o present_v every_o man_n perfect_a in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o christ_n be_v all_o and_o in_o all_o your_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n
