be_v the_o will_n three_o there_o be_v the_o power_n of_o do_v or_o work_v the_o mind_n conceive_v and_o understand_v thing_n the_o will_n affect_v the_o object_n according_a as_o the_o mind_n first_o

so_o these_o three_o faculty_n do_v make_v but_o one_o spiritual_a substance_n or_o soul_n but_o as_o the_o father_n work_v not_o without_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n without_o the_o

the_o thing_n wrought_v there_o be_v no_o distinction_n but_o only_o in_o order_n for_o there_o be_v no_o soon_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n but_o there_o exist_v all_o they_o three_o and_o without_o any_o one_o of_o they_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v if_o any_o demand_n who_o create_v all_o thing_n i_o answer_v god_n who_o redeem_v man_n fall_v god_n who_o do_v inlighten_v man_n god_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o three_o but_o one_o god_n so_o if_o any_o man_n demand_n what_o be_v that_o in_o i_o that_o understand_v i_o answer_v the_o soul_n what_o be_v that_o will_v or_o affect_v any_o

be_v repentance_n and_o so_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o it_o so_o that_o this_o assent_v act_n of_o faith_n lead_v a_o soul_n to_o a_o ordinance_n in_o god_n hand_n as_o to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o repentance_n consist_v in_o conviction_n contrition_n and_o humiliation_n now_o the_o habit_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v both_o together_o in_o the_o soul_n we_o only_o

of_o its_o self_n now_o a_o soul_n will_v not_o go_v out_o of_o its_o self_n till_o it_o do_v see_v the_o danger_n of_o continue_v in_o its_o self_n this_o danger_n work_v fear_n this_o fear_n work_v

of_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o troop_n of_o convert_v act._n 2._o 37._o they_o be_v prick_v at_o their_o heart_n and_o say_v unto_o peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n man_n

that_o repentance_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o cause_n must_v needs_o go_v before_o the_o effect_n only_a mind_n that_o repentance_n have_v three_o part_n to_o wit_n conviction_n contrition_n and_o humiliation_n or_o the_o turn_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o this_o can_v be_v do_v in_o god_n ordinary_a way_n before_o the_o habit_n of_o faith_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o habit_n of_o faith_n by_o the_o act_n of_o humiliation_n that_o it_o do_v work_v in_o
