lose_a condition_n none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v wound_v will_v look_v for_o and_o high_o prize_v the_o physician_n to_o cure_v their_o poor_a soul_n now_o this_o grace_n of_o repentance_n be_v

every_o thing_n that_o concern_v our_o salvation_n we_o can_v repent_v unless_o god_n give_v we_o repentance_n we_o can_v believe_v unless_o god_n give_v we_o faith_n to_o believe_v and_o therefore_o i_o do_v the_o more_o wonder_n at_o the_o author_n that_o have_v so_o much_o urge_v faith_n and_o believe_v and_o yet_o never_o tell_v we_o how_o this_o so_o precious_a faith_n be_v wrought_v or_o how_o we_o may_v attain_v thereunto_o but_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o our_o own_o power_n i_o acknowledge_v free_o that_o repentance_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o word_n preach_v and_o faith_n also_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o work_v by_o the_o mean_n and_o without_o which_o all_o will_v be_v unprofitable_a and_o so_o all_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n for_o there_o be_v no_o work_n that_o we_o can_v do_v before_o justification_n or_o after_o justification_n can_v merit_v any_o grace_n for_o we_o before_o god_n ephes_n 2.10_o for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o jesus_n christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o whatsoever_o gift_n of_o grace_n any_o man_n receive_v it_o be_v from_o the_o free_a bounty_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o every_o

our_o god_n towards_o we_o through_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n for_o mercy_n receive_v and_o to_o no_o other_o end_n whatsoever_o and_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v i_o be_o no_o enemy_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n nor_o to_o the_o teacher_n thereof_o if_o they_o publish_v only_o the_o truth_n thereof_o without_o run_v into_o by_o way_n for_o fear_n of_o something_o which_o they_o need_v not_o if_o they_o do_v true_o understand_v the_o truth_n but_o i_o desire_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o advance_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o by_o god_n help_n will_v do_v it_o and_o now_o because_o the_o author_n have_v so_o much_o speak_v of_o faith_n and_o of_o believe_v yet_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o this_o faith_n be_v i_o will_v

other_o faith_n be_v common_a to_o all_o this_o only_a to_o the_o redeem_v in_o christ_n and_o this_o faith_n be_v never_o give_v to_o any_o but_o to_o the_o repentant_a only_o and_o this_o

christ_n for_o they_o must_v be_v first_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n before_o they_o can_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o he_o now_o the_o part_n of_o regeneration_n repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v but_o the_o engraft_v and_o no_o part_n of_o the_o fruit_n the_o fruit_n always_o follow_v the_o engraft_v and_o these_o be_v no_o part_n of_o repentance_n if_o true_o consider_v for_o every_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v clear_o distinguish_v each_o from_o other_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o must_v not_o be_v confound_v together_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o be_v to_o do_v who_o will_v make_v repentance_n to_o consist_v of_o mortification_n to_o sin_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n nay_o some_o have_v say_v that_o repentance_n consist_v of_o faith_n also_o and_o so_o they_o make_v a_o great_a confusion_n and_o be_v never_o able_a to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n for_o though_o repentance_n do_v continue_v in_o a_o time_n believer_n and_o justify_v person_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v here_o for_o he_o sin_v daily_o and_o therefore_o must_v repent_v daily_o and_o it_o be_v require_v of_o they_o ephes_n 6.15_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o foot_n shod_a with_o the_o

patience_n love_n and_o joy_n and_o not_o to_o be_v confound_v one_o with_o another_o as_o some_o do_v and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v this_o be_v consider_v that_o howsoever_o christ_n have_v wrought_v perfect_a redemption_n for_o we_o yet_o the_o application_n and_o the_o make_v this_o redemption_n effectual_a unto_o we_o be_v do_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n every_o one_o in_o the_o undivided_a

take_v notice_n of_o this_o that_o this_o special_a faith_n that_o justifi_v the_o believer_n apprehend_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v always_o ground_v upon_o some_o special_a promise_n in_o scripture_n for_o there_o can_v be_v this_o special_a faith_n in_o any_o soul_n where_o there_o be_v not_o first_o a_o promise_n and_o the_o promise_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v make_v only_o to_o the_o penitent_a the_o brokenhearted_a the_o mourner_n such_o as_o be_v heavy_a lade_v etc._n etc._n christ_n call_v only_o such_o to_o he_o and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n do_v never_o write_v the_o covenant_n of_o peace_n with_o god_n in_o other_o heart_n but_o only_o in_o the_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n namely_o the_o repentant_a soul_n and_o they_o only_o can_v and_o do_v believe_v with_o this_o special_a faith_n for_o none_o else_o can_v work_v that_o work_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o who_o god_n have_v send_v john_n 6.29_o but_o only_o such_o poor_a soul_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n there_o can_v be_v no_o faith_n for_o though_o faith_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o thing_n hope_v for_o yet_o there_o must_v be_v a_o promise_n to_o ground_v that_o faith_n on_o for_o though_o abraham_n believe_v beyond_o hope_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o promise_n first_o make_v unto_o he_o by_o a_o faithful_a god_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v the_o

before_o so_o i_o say_v again_o there_o must_v be_v first_o a_o promise_n for_o such_o poor_a sinner_n to_o lay_v hold_v on_o &_o then_o they_o find_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o penitent_a and_o
