salvation_n therefore_o none_o but_o god_n elect_v do_v believe_v here_o further_o we_o learn_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o give_v we_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o righteousness_n merit_n worthiness_n

unto_o salvation_n now_o although_o man_n know_v not_o the_o time_n call_v no_o time_n set_v when_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v when_o yet_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o elect_v shall_v be_v call_v one_o time_n or_o other_o according_a as_o god_n in_o his_o divine_a providence_n have_v appoint_v for_o as_o he_o choose_v who_o he_o will_v so_o those_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v he_o call_v unto_o faith_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o word_n and_o effectual_a work_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o it_o please_v he_o unless_o by_o his_o secret_a work_n

hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o he_o call_v some_o in_o their_o youth_n some_o in_o their_o middle_a age_n and_o some_o not_o before_o old_a age_n some_o at_o the_o daw_n of_o the_o day_n some_o at_o

they_o may_v be_v only_o let_v every_o one_o prey_n that_o when_o god_n do_v call_v we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o yield_v our_o obedience_n especial_o let_v not_o the_o preacher_n and_o minister_n of_o

a_o comfort_n for_o weakling_n time_n that_o many_o of_o the_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n be_v very_o much_o grieve_v yea_o almost_o plunge_v in_o the_o pit_n of_o desperation_n when_o they_o hear_v that_o none_o but_o such_o as_o have_v faith_n shall_v be_v save_v because_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o feel_v the_o heat_n of_o faith_n so_o effectual_o as_o they_o desire_v therefore_o i_o have_v think_v it_o very_o necessary_a before_o i_o conclude_v brief_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a measure_n of_o faith_n some_o fave_v he_o that_o have_v the_o least_o measure_n of_o true_a faith_n shall_v be_v fave_v great_a and_o some_o lesser_a and_o that_o the_o least_o measure_n of_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v true_a faith_n suffice_v unto_o salvation_n so_o shall_v none_o of_o god_n child_n i_o hope_v be_v discourage_v when_o sathan_n shall_v cast_v into_o their_o mind_n the_o littleness_n of_o their_o faith_n first_o every_o christian_n must_v hold_v for_o certain_a that_o which_o saint_n paul_n teach_v in_o the_o four_o to_o the_o ephesian_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v one_o lord_n and_o one_o faith_n next_o 6_o ephe._n 4._o 6_o it_o be_v behooveful_a for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o this_o one_o faith_n be_v give_v to_o the_o faithful_a in_o diverse_a &_o sundry_a measure_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o twelve_o to_o the_o roman_n that_o 12.3_o rom._n 12.3_o every_o one_o must_v understande_v according_a to_o sobriety_n according_a as_o god_n have_v deal_v to_o every_o man_n the_o measure_n of_o faith_n to_o some_o a_o great_a measure_n be_v give_v to_o some_o a_o lesser_a also_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o in_o all_o faithful_a the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o alike_o in_o all_o the_o faithful_a the_o faithful_a a_o like_a as_o namely_o one_o faith_n full_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v and_o may_v have_v more_o knowledge_n more_o love_n more_o fear_n of_o god_n more_o hope_n more_o patience_n more_o brotherlie_a kindness_n and_o so_o forth_o than_o another_o have_v according_a as_o he_o have_v receive_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o faith_n but_o yet_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n by_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n be_v so_o distribute_v and_o divide_v that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o god_n elect_v to_o who_o be_v give_v less_o than_o may_v suffice_v unto_o salvation_n for_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n do_v contain_v this_o in_o itself_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a portion_n to_o every_o one_o he_o that_o have_v the_o lesser_a measure_n shall_v have_v salvation_n with_o he_o that_o have_v the_o great_a and_o doubtless_o it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o special_a counsel_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o one_o have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o faith_n than_o another_o for_o god_n have_v so_o moderate_v all_o those_o thing_n by_o his_o wisdom_n that_o to_o those_o who_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o endure_v many_o great_a battle_n he_o have_v give_v a_o large_a portion_n of_o faith_n as_o to_o ahraham_n isaac_n faith_n to_o those_o who_o god_n will_v try_v most_o he_o give_v most_o faith_n jacob_n moses_n david_n and_o the_o like_a who_o when_o he_o will_v try_v by_o many_o trybulation_n and_o temptation_n he_o vouchsafe_v to_o bestow_v upon_o they_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o faith_n not_o that_o thereby_o they_o shall_v attain_v unto_o salvation_n rather_o than_o other_o that_o have_v lesser_a gift_n of_o faith_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v serve_v to_o the_o further_a of_o god_n glory_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v example_n to_o those_o that_o be_v more_o infirm_a and_o weak_a now_o if_o any_o will_v know_v what_o the_o least_o measure_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n can_v have_v sure_o it_o be_v this_o when_o a_o man_n of_o a_o be_v what_o the_o least_o measure_n of_o faith_n be_v humble_a spirit_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o litlenes_n of_o his_o faith_n do_v not_o yet_o feel_v the_o assurance_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n
