be_v to_o keep_v the_o fire_n burn_v it_o be_v a_o fond_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o quench_v his_o fire_n and_o then_o think_v to_o keep_v himself_o still_o warm_a it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o

the_o radiancy_n of_o the_o radical_a fundamental_a grace_n they_o be_v the_o flame_n of_o they_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o coal_n of_o fire_n that_o lie_v on_o the_o hearth_n and_o the_o flame_n of_o the_o fire_n which_o be_v kindle_v from_o the_o coal_n on_o the_o hearth_n when_o a_o man_n faith_n cause_v joy_n than_o faith_n flame_n when_o his_o hope_n breed_v

of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o thing_n 1._o there_o be_v the_o gift_n themselves_o the_o habit_n infuse_v the_o habit_n of_o faith_n hope_n and_o love_n 2._o there_o be_v the_o use_n and_o exercise_n and_o

gracious_a excitement_n to_o duty_n the_o spirit_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o breathe_n and_o the_o blast_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v also_o here_o mean_v now_o see_v what_o spirit_n signify_v we_o be_v to_o inquire_v in_o what_o sense_n and_o after_o what_o sort_n the_o spirit_n may_v be_v quench_v quench_v it_o may_v be_v or_o else_o the_o counsel_n be_v in_o vain_a not_o to_o quench_v it_o and_o again_o if_o it_o may_v be_v quench_v it_o may_v be_v a_o uncomfortable_a thing_n what_o comfort_n can_v a_o man_n have_v in_o have_v god_n spirit_n if_o it_o may_v be_v lose_v what_o comfort_n to_o have_v this_o fire_n kindle_v in_o our_o heart_n if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v a_o quenchable_a fire_n therefore_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n we_o must_v know_v 1._o first_o take_v the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n that_o may_v be_v quench_v and_o lose_v and_o so_o for_o the_o gift_n of_o government_n ministry_n

that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o he_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o ihe_a spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n depart_v from_o he_o 1_o sam._n 16.14_o second_o take_v the_o spirit_n

like_o grace_n and_o come_v very_o near_o a_o save_a grace_n if_o they_o fall_v away_o heb._n 6._o therefore_o man_n may_v have_v all_o that_o there_o be_v speak_v of_o which_o fall_n away_o three_o take_v the_o spirit_n for_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n and_o then_o make_v use_n of_o this_o first_o distinction_n and_o according_a to_o it_o the_o radical_a and_o fundamental_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n such_o as_o faith_n hope_n love_n can_v be_v whole_o &_o total_o extinguish_v where_o once_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o their_o lustre_n their_o radiancy_n their_o shine_n and_o flame_n may_v be_v quench_v a_o man_n though_o he_o can_v lose_v his_o faith_n yet_o he_o may_v lose_v and_o want_v and_o quench_v his_o joy_n a_o man_n though_o he_o can_v lose_v his_o hope_n yet_o may_v lose_v his_o comfort_n and_o confidence_n a_o man_n though_o he_o can_v lose_v his_o love_n yet_o may_v cool_v his_o zeal_n and_o fervour_n we_o see_v in_o a_o fire_n the_o wood_n may_v be_v burn_v out_o and_o so_o the_o flame_n abate_v and_o quite_o quench_v but_o yet_o there_o remain_v still_o a_o heap_n of_o coal_n on_o the_o hearth_n and_o there_o may_v be_v a_o good_a
