iniquity_n i_o shall_v add_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o wherein_o christian_n have_v a_o great_a advantage_n of_o jew_n and_o heathen_n and_o have_v receive_v more_o from_o god_n than_o they_o i_o mean_v the_o plentiful_a effusion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n on_o the_o christian_a church_n i_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o heathen_n themselves_o want_v all_o internal_a assistance_n to_o virtue_n for_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n persuade_v myself_o that_o god_n who_o be_v a_o infinite_a spirit_n shall_v for_o so_o many_o age_n together_o have_v no_o commerce_n with_o man_n mind_n and_o spirit_n that_o he_o who_o govern_v the_o inanimate_a world_n who_o steer_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o keep_v nature_n in_o its_o regular_a course_n shall_v whole_o neglect_v the_o rational_a world_n and_o the_o moral_a spring_n of_o action_n shall_v not_o influence_n the_o thought_n and_o passion_n of_o man_n shall_v not_o lay_v invisible_a chain_n on_o their_o lust_n nor_o inspire_v they_o with_o great_a and_o virtuous_a design_n especial_o since_o he_o be_v a_o great_a lover_n of_o virtue_n and_o abhor_v vice_n and_o know_v the_o corruption_n and_o wickedness_n of_o humane_a nature_n without_o some_o restraint_n and_o its_o weakness_n and_o indisposition_n to_o virtue_n without_o divine_a impulse_n afflatu_fw-la i_o be_o sure_a heathen_n themselves_o call_v virtue_n the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o ascribe_v all_o extraordinary_a excellency_n and_o perfection_n of_o man_n to_o the_o secret_a influence_n and_o assistance_n of_o their_o go_n the_o jew_n have_v these_o internal_a assistance_n to_o illuminate_v their_o mind_n to_o influence_n their_o will_n to_o direct_v their_o choice_n to_o give_v warmth_n and_o vigour_n to_o their_o affection_n as_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n wherein_o there_o be_v many_o prayer_n to_o this_o purpose_n which_o prove_v what_o his_o belief_n be_v for_o have_v he_o not_o know_v that_o the_o divine_a spirit_n do_v use_v to_o assist_v good_a man_n he_o will_v not_o have_v pray_v for_o such_o assistance_n and_o yet_o this_o he_o frequent_o do_v o_o that_o my_o way_n be_v direct_v to_o keep_v thy_o statute_n 37._o with_o my_o whole_a heart_n have_v i_o seek_v thou_o o_o let_v i_o not_o wander_v from_o thy_o commandment_n bless_a be_v thou_o o_o lord_n o_o teach_v i_o thy_o statute_n open_v thou_o my_o eye_n that_o i_o may_v behold_v wondrous_a thing_n out_o of_o thy_o law_n i_o be_o a_o stranger_n upon_o earth_n hide_v not_o thy_o commandment_n from_o i_o make_v i_o to_o understand_v the_o way_n of_o thy_o precept_n strengthen_v thou_o i_o according_a to_o thy_o word_n teach_v i_o o_o lord_n the_o way_n of_o thy_o precept_n give_v i_o understanding_n and_o i_o shall_v keep_v thy_o law_n incline_v my_o heart_n unto_o thy_o testimony_n and_o not_o to_o covetousness_n turn_v thou_o my_o eye_n from_o behold_v vanity_n and_o quicken_v i_o in_o thy_o way_n and_o in_o his_o penitential_a psalm_n he_o pray_v create_v in_o i_o a_o clean_a heart_n o_o god_n and_o renew_v a_o right_a spirit_n within_o i_o 12._o restore_v unto_o i_o the_o joy_n of_o thy_o salvation_n and_o uphold_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a spirit_n but_o as_o devout_a man_n among_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o great_a portion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n than_o the_o heathen_n have_v so_o there_o be_v still_o a_o more_o plentiful_a effusion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n on_o the_o christian_a church_n not_o only_o in_o those_o miraculous_a gift_n and_o power_n which_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o apostolic_a age_n and_o continue_v in_o some_o measure_n in_o after-age_n till_o christianity_n be_v well_o plant_v in_o the_o world_n but_o as_o to_o the_o renew_n and_o sanctify_a influence_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n we_o be_v now_o bear_v not_o only_o of_o water_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o baptism_n 3_o john_n 5._o and_o by_o one_o spirit_n we_o be_v all_o baptize_v into_o one_o body_n and_o have_v be_v all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n 1_o cor._n 12.13_o so_o that_o at_o baptism_n we_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n which_o signify_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n give_v life_n and_o be_v a_o new_a principle_n of_o life_n to_o we_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n which_o signify_v the_o fresh_a supply_n and_o communication_n of_o grace_n as_o we_o daily_o receive_v new_a supply_n of_o spirit_n from_o our_o natural_a meat_n and_o drink_v and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o spirit_n in_o a_o more_o perfect_a manner_n than_o as_o a_o constant_a principle_n of_o spiritual_a life_n but_o it_o be_v not_o my_o business_n to_o prove_v what_o all_o orthodox_n christian_n own_o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v more_o plentiful_o bestow_v upon_o the_o christian_a church_n than_o ever_o it_o be_v upon_o jew_n or_o heathen_n which_o make_v our_o obedience_n to_o the_o divine_a law_n more_o easy_a by_o increase_a our_o strength_n and_o exact_v from_o we_o more_o perfect_a attainment_n as_o we_o all_o expect_v more_o perfect_a service_n from_o our_o child_n as_o their_o age_n and_o strength_n increase_v all_o this_o god_n have_v do_v more_o for_o we_o christian_n than_o he_o have_v do_v for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o this_o which_o he_o have_v do_v more_o for_o we_o make_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o live_v better_o and_o to_o do_v more_o service_n for_o god_n than_o other_o man_n and_o that_o make_v it_o very_o just_a for_o god_n to_o expect_v more_o from_o we_o and_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v so_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v consider_v what_o manner_n of_o person_n we_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o all_o holy_a conversation_n and_o godliness_n if_o heathen_n shall_v be_v damn_v for_o their_o sin_n against_o the_o weak_a and_o glimmer_a light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o feeble_a conviction_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n corrupt_v by_o education_n by_o example_n by_o prevail_a custom_n by_o the_o cheat_n and_o imposture_n of_o wicked_a spirit_n what_o shall_v the_o condemnation_n of_o christian_n be_v who_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n who_o when_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v because_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a who_o sin_n against_o the_o clear_a and_o bright_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n against_o the_o love_n of_o god_n against_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n against_o the_o powerful_a restraint_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n if_o those_o that_o despise_a moses_n law_n die_v without_o mercy_n under_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n of_o how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n suppose_v you_o shall_v he_o be_v think_v worthy_a who_o have_v tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o have_v count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n wherewith_o he_o be_v sanctify_v a_o unholy_a thing_n and_o have_v do_v despite_n unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n 10_o heb._n 28_o 29._o which_o be_v true_a not_o only_o of_o final_a apostasy_n but_o of_o all_o wilful_a disobedience_n the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v our_o work_n easy_a but_o our_o duty_n more_o and_o the_o danger_n of_o a_o miscarriage_n great_a it_o do_v not_o require_v unsinning_a obedience_n but_o it_o require_v great_a measure_n of_o purity_n ●nd_v goodness_n and_o universal_a righteousness_n and_o have_v threaten_v a_o hot_a hell_n against_o wicked_a christian_n thus_o christian_n will_v have_v a_o great_a account_n to_o give_v than_o jew_n or_o heathen_n because_o they_o have_v receive_v more_o and_o as_o the_o receipt_n of_o christian_n be_v very_o unequal_a so_o their_o account_n will_v proportionable_o differ_v some_o christian_n have_v but_o one_o talon_n other_o two_o other_o five_o and_o as_o no_o man_n shall_v account_v for_o more_o than_o he_o have_v receive_v so_o how_o much_o soever_o we_o have_v receive_v we_o must_v

of_o what_o concernment_n it_o be_v to_o know_v what_o sentence_n christ_n will_v pass_v on_o we_o at_o that_o day_n whether_o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n or_o go_v you_o curse_v into_o
