it_o be_v this_o do_v of_o his_o will_n this_o action_n that_o put_v you_o into_o a_o high_a condition_n i_o see_v not_o that_o paul_n be_v ambitious_a of_o any_o thing_n but_o of_o this_o that_o he_o

and_o pray_v as_o in_o husbandry_n so_o in_o the_o church_n there_o be_v certain_a season_n of_o action_n and_o those_o season_n must_v not_o be_v omit_v mark_v what_o the_o course_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o every_o calamity_n in_o joel_n when_o there_o be_v a_o famine_n begin_v sanctify_v a_o fast_n say_v the_o lord_n call_v a_o solemn_a assembly_n when_o their_o be_v a_o plague_n

that_o the_o omission_n of_o opportunity_n be_v sin_n for_o you_o to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n do_v you_o not_o think_v the_o lord_n will_v require_v it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o business_n that_o be_v not_o ordinary_a it_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o do_v not_o extraordinary_a time_n and_o occasion_n call_v for_o it_o again_o be_v it_o not_o evil_a in_o such_o extraordinary_a

to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v upon_o a_o people_n i_o say_v the_o stand_n still_o and_o not_o hasten_v to_o the_o gap_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o of_o those_o that_o

when_o there_o be_v more_o thing_n reveal_v to_o they_o and_o i_o take_v it_o this_o place_n will_v carry_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v reveal_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n it_o be_v reveal_v obscure_o and_o there_o be_v a_o little_a say_v among_o they_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o save_v they_o but_o when_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o there_o be_v great_a revelation_n as_o we_o know_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o prophet_n their_o faith_n be_v great_a as_o there_o be_v more_o revelation_n so_o there_o be_v more_o faith_n so_o i_o say_v it_o admit_v degree_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n of_o revelation_n as_o the_o apostle_n when_o christ_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n they_o have_v a_o degree_n of_o faith_n but_o when_o christ_n ascend_v then_o there_o be_v more_o revelation_n than_o they_o grow_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n because_o they_o grow_v from_o revelation_n to_o revelation_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v send_v into_o their_o heart_n to_o reveal_v all_o thing_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n you_o know_v they_o have_v abundance_n of_o revelation_n afterward_o so_o in_o this_o regard_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n faith_n receive_v degree_n not_o because_o the_o habit_n be_v increase_v but_o because_o the_o revelation_n and_o object_n be_v more_o and_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o poor_a christian_n those_o that_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a they_o may_v have_v a_o true_a habit_n and_o as_o true_a a_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o though_o a_o man_n be_v more_o conversant_a in_o scripture_n and_o know_v more_o than_o they_o he_o have_v more_o revelation_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n though_o he_o have_v a_o great_a faith_n than_o the_o other_o yet_o the_o other_o have_v a_o like_a precious_a faith_n with_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o grace_n so_o we_o see_v how_o faith_n receive_v degree_n in_o these_o three_o respect_n degree_n now_o last_o of_o all_o that_o faith_n that_o give_v assurance_n that_o pacifi_v and_o comfort_v the_o heart_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o reflect_v act_n by_o which_o we_o know_v and_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o have_v take_v christ_n and_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v this_o admit_v of_o degree_n of_o proof_n and_o here_o as_o the_o evidence_n of_o sanctification_n be_v more_o so_o be_v the_o assurance_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o spirit_n witness_v to_o our_o spirit_n he_o discover_v good_a thing_n to_o we_o we_o have_v need_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o judge_v aright_o of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o grace_n that_o we_o have_v we_o shall_v go_v amiss_o else_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a except_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n to_o help_v and_o assist_v we_o and_o so_o we_o grow_v from_o assurance_n to_o assurance_n now_o for_o the_o second_o part_n that_o we_o must_v grow_v in_o all_o these_o first_o as_o faith_n admit_v of_o degree_n so_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o grow_v in_o all_o these_o degree_n first_o labour_n to_o grow_v to_o a_o more_o full_a and_o firm_a assent_n by_o that_o mean_v we_o shall_v draw_v near_o to_o christ_n and_o receive_v he_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n mark_v this_o very_a act_n of_o take_v christ_n that_o immediate_o justify_v but_o it_o be_v feed_v with_o assurance_n in_o the_o understanding_n it_o be_v that_o which_o do_v increase_v and_o strengthen_v and_o supply_v this_o action_n of_o the_o will_n in_o take_v christ_n so_o that_o the_o more_o strong_a assent_n the_o mind_n and_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n give_v to_o those_o truth_n which_o concern_v justification_n deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o strong_a his_o will_n be_v in_o take_v christ_n as_o in_o the_o act_n of_o marriage_n a_o woman_n take_v such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v her_o husband_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v degree_n in_o the_o will_n one_o may_v take_v he_o with_o great_a greediness_n with_o a_o more_o full_a persuasion_n that_o it_o be_v best_o for_o she_o with_o more_o love_n and_o with_o more_o resolution_n so_o the_o strong_a the_o assent_n be_v that_o we_o give_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n wherein_o christ_n be_v offer_v free_o unto_o we_o the_o more_o we_o take_v christ_n and_o so_o the_o union_n be_v great_a between_o we_o we_o be_v link_v and_o knit_v together_o and_o marry_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a degree_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o
