he_o say_v that_o when_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v come_v into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n 4._o although_o they_o shall_v till_o and_o manure_v the_o ground_n yet_o shall_v they_o not_o say_v this_o have_v i_o get_v with_o my_o own_o hand_n but_o all_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o be_v may●teyned_v by_o the_o word_n that_o proceed_v out_o of_o god_n mouth_n 3._o that_o be_v too_o say_v by_o the_o inward_a grace_n which_o god_n give_v too_o his_o creature_n so_o as_o we_o be_v feed_v thereby_o for_o all_o the_o labour_n of_o man_n can_v nothing_o avail_v unless_o god_n bliss_n it_o and_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v much_o more_o excellent_a for_o be_v not_o the_o food_n of_o our_o soul_n much_o precious_a than_o that_o which_o serve_v but_o for_o our_o body_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o come_v to_o a_o sermon_n or_o too_o read_v god_n word_n every_o man_n by_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v also_o resort_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v give_v we_o increase_v and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n set_v down_o this_o similitude_n 6._o that_o he_o which_o plant_v be_v nothing_o nor_o yet_o he_o that_o water_v but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v the_o increase_v from_o above_o and_o he_o speak_v not_o there_o of_o the_o laborer_n of_o the_o ground_n but_o of_o the_o sower_n of_o god_n word_n and_o of_o such_o as_o manure_v his_o church_n with_o continual_a exhortation_n albeit_o then_o that_o we_o take_v never_o so_o great_a pain_n yet_o shall_v we_o do_v no_o good_a at_o all_o with_o our_o labour_n except_o god_n work_v with_o it_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o when_o he_o work_v with_o we_o then_o be_v our_o labour_n available_a and_o then_o it_o be_v say_v 16._o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n too_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o that_o believe_v for_o god_n do_v so_o utter_a the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o secret_a and_o inward_a work_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v thing_n so_o join_v together_o as_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v and_o so_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o that_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n now_o have_v speak_v of_o pray_v he_o say_v that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v in_o the_o inward_a man_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n here_o he_o show_v we_o the_o weakness_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o afore_o for_o if_o we_o perceive_v not_o our_o own_o need_n we_o will_v never_o vouchsafe_v too_o resort_n unto_o god_n like_o poor_a begget_n we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o himself_o will_v never_o acknowledge_v his_o own_o poverty_n except_o it_o be_v prove_v too_o his_o face_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v unto_o he_o unfeigned_o and_o with_o true_a lowliness_n it_o be_v for_o our_o behof_n too_o feel_v by_o experience_n that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o that_o we_o be_v unprofitable_a in_o respect_n of_o all_o goodness_n until_o our_o lord_n have_v renew_v we_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n intend_v too_o make_v we_o too_o understand_v for_o though_o all_o the_o world_n general_o do_v seek_v help_n at_o god_n hand_n yet_o be_v there_o scarce_o one_o too_o be_v find_v among_o a_o hundred_o that_o do_v it_o true_o and_o without_o hypocrisy_n for_o if_o a_o man_n can_v search_v what_o be_v in_o some_o he_o shall_v find_v they_o ready_a too_o burst_v like_o toad_n with_o pride_n and_o filthiness_n and_o that_o they_o presume_v woonderous_o upon_o themselves_o they_o will_v go_v seek_v succour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o yet_o think_v they_o have_v their_o seek_n in_o themselves_o sure_o it_o be_v too_o excessive_a a_o lewdness_n but_o yet_o be_v it_o a_o vice_n that_o reign_v too_o much_o howsoever_o we_o fare_v if_o we_o desire_n god_n too_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n too_o succour_v we_o let_v we_o learn_v first_o of_o all_o too_o abase_v ourselves_o and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v not_o sufficient_a strength_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n but_o that_o the_o same_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o come_v from_o above_o and_o from_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o s._n paul_n have_v express_v here_o that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v say_v he_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o make_v comparison_n here_o of_o thing_n clean_o contrary_a for_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n can_v do_v aught_o of_o himself_o god_n spirit_n need_v not_o to_o supply_v the_o room_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o power_n proceed_v of_o god_n free_a goodness_n therein_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o ourselves_o and_o that_o all_o the_o strength_n which_o we_o surmise_v ourselves_o too_o have_v be_v but_o smoke_n that_o vanish_v away_o and_o a_o stark_a illuzion_n of_o satan_n who_o seek_v too_o hold_v we_o fast_o in_o some_o fond_a selfween_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o repair_v too_o our_o god_n and_o so_o be_v leave_v utter_o destitute_a and_o beside_o this_o saint_n paul_n show_v further_a that_o it_o be_v a_o free_a bestow_v benefit_n that_o be_v too_o say_v a_o benefit_n that_o proceed_v of_o god_n only_o free_a gift_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o imagine_v that_o when_o god_n succore_v we_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o any_o thing_n else_o than_o our_o wretchedness_n or_o that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o any_o good_a disposition_n that_o he_o see_v shall_v be_v in_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o succore_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v here_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o be_v strengthen_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o free_a gift_n now_o he_o say_v according_a too_o the_o richenesse_n of_o his_o glory_n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o he_o magnify_v the_o riches_n of_o god_n goodness_n so_o much_o but_o to_o beat_v down_o all_o the_o fond_a opinion_n wherewith_o man_n besotte_v themselves_o in_o ween_v too_o bring_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o of_o their_o own_o and_o by_o that_o mean_a too_o make_v themselves_o hail-fellow_n with_o god_n therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o bear_v this_o thing_n well_o in_o mind_n for_o s._n paul_n speak_v too_o such_o as_o have_v show_v great_a strength_n already_o but_o yet_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o god_n shall_v always_o have_v the_o praise_n of_o it_o they_o be_v in_o great_a forwardness_n and_o have_v fight_v already_o for_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o saint_n paul_n wish_v that_o they_o may_v be_v strengthen_v herein_o we_o see_v that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o unable_a too_o begin_v too_o do_v good_a that_o even_o when_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o the_o way_n when_o he_o have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n yea_o and_o when_o he_o have_v continue_v his_o grace_n in_o we_o from_o day_n too_o day_n 13._o yet_o if_o he_o do_v but_o turn_v away_o his_o hand_n one_o minute_n we_o be_v quite_o quell_v and_o so_o we_o be_v warn_v as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o that_o as_o god_n be_v the_o beginner_n of_o our_o salvation_n so_o be_v he_o the_o worker_n of_o it_o throughout_o and_o there_o be_v nostedfa●●nesse_n in_o we_o furtherfoorth_o than_o we_o be_v uphild_n by_o he_o and_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v provoke_v too_o pray_v daily_a all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n for_o they_o that_o forget_v themselves_o and_o fall_v asleep_a shall_v soon_o feel_v themselves_o bereave_v of_o god_n grace_n and_o why_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o because_o they_o seek_v it_o not_o with_o continual_a care_n therefore_o too_o waken_v we_o thorough_o both_o from_o our_o slothfulness_n and_o from_o our_o retchlessness_n we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o see_v god_n have_v call_v we_o into_o his_o church_n and_o touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a to_o receive_v his_o gospel_n with_o true_a obedience_n the_o same_o aught_o to_o strengthen_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o the_o end_n let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n again_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n must_v needs_o show_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n when_o he_o increase_v so_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o we_o by_o degree_n for_o must_v there_o not_o needs_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasure_n of_o his_o goodness_n when_o he_o draw_v we_o so_o to_o he_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n in_o what_o plight_n we_o be_v when_o god_n choze_v we_o and_o take_v we_o too_o he_o he_o draw_v we_o not_o only_o out_o of_o a_o stink_a puddle_n but_o out_o of_o the_o bottom_n

irk_v man_n to_o yield_v too_o it_o until_o our_o lord_n have_v frame_v we_o too_o it_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n 6._o and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n call_v the_o

the_o more_o on_o hand_n too_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o must_v have_v the_o discretion_n and_o skill_n too_o perceive_v what_o god_n command_v and_o
