who_o mind_n be_v stay_v on_o thou_o because_o he_o trust_v in_o thou_o here_o there_o be_v a_o sure_a and_o true_a ground_a peace_n therefore_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n say_v the_o apostle_n that_o

i_o be_o that_o i_o be_o and_o not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v with_o i_o and_o if_o he_o behold_v a_o ignorant_a man_n or_o a_o wicked_a liver_n he_o will_v not_o call_v he_o

and_o terrestrial_a only_o concern_v the_o good_a and_o evil_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n evan._n this_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o like_o as_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n give_v the_o

the_o lord_n god_n behold_v my_o anger_n and_o my_o fury_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o this_o place_n 20._o and_o sure_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o first_o because_o as_o all_o man_n be_v bear_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work●_n they_o be_v natural_o prone_a to_o conceive_v that_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o all_o good_a thing_n do_v depend_v and_o

man_n chief_a happiness_n be_v to_o be_v have_v and_o find_v in_o terrestrial_a paradise_n even_o in_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n so_o the_o people_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v near_o to_o adam_n covenant_n and_o paradise_n be_v most_o prone_a to_o such_o conceit_n and_o second_o because_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o celestial_a paradise_n be_v but_o little_o mention_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v but_o a_o glimmer_a knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o so_o can_v not_o yield_v obedience_n free_o as_o son_n therefore_o the_o lord_n see_v it_o meet_v to_o move_v they_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o his_o law_n by_o their_o own_o motive_n and_o as_o servant_n or_o child_n under_o age_n ant._n and_o be_v both_o

to_o have_v the_o calamity_n of_o this_o life_n inflict_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o disobedience_n as_o the_o blessing_n of_o this_o life_n confer_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o obedience_n evan._n sure_o the_o word_n of_o the_o preacher_n do_v take_v place_n here_o when_o he_o say_v 9.2_o all_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o all_o there_o be_v one_o event_n to_o the_o righteous_a and_o to_o the_o

god_n commandment_n god_n temporal_a wrath_n go_v out_o against_o they_o and_o be_v manifest_a in_o temporal_a calamity_n that_o befall_v they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o only_o here_o be_v the_o

deceive_v his_o own_o soul_n by_o these_o mark_n and_o sign_n evan._n indeed_o i_o must_v confess_v with_o master_n boulton_n 35._o and_o master_n dyke_n that_o in_o these_o time_n of_o christianity_n a_o reprobate_n may_v make_v a_o glorious_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o perform_v all_o duty_n and_o exercise_n of_o religion_n 111._o and_o that_o in_o outward_a appearance_n with_o as_o great_a spirit_n and_o zeal_n as_o a_o true_a believer_n yea_o he_o may_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o some_o measure_n of_o inward_a illumination_n and_o have_v a_o shadow_n of_o true_a regeneration_n there_o be_v no_o grace_n effectual_o wrought_v in_o the_o faithful_a a_o resemblance_n whereof_o may_v not_o be_v find_v in_o the_o unregenerate_a and_o therefore_o i_o say_v if_o any_o man_n pitch_n upon_o the_o sign_n without_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sign_n that_o be_v if_o he_o pitch_v upon_o his_o grace_n or_o gift_n rather_o and_o duty_n and_o conclude_v assurance_n from_o they_o as_o they_o be_v in_o he_o and_o come_v from_o he_o without_o have_v reference_n to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o root_n and_o fountain_n of_o they_o then_o be_v they_o deceitful_a mark_n and_o sign_n but_o if_o he_o look_v upon_o they_o with_o reference_n to_o jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v they_o not_o deceitful_a but_o true_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o this_o a_o man_n do_v when_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o outward_a action_n as_o flow_v from_o the_o inward_a action_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o upon_o the_o inward_a action_n of_o his_o mind_n as_o flow_v from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n within_o he_o and_o upon_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n within_o he_o as_o flow_v from_o his_o justification_n and_o upon_o his_o justification_n as_o flow_v from_o his_o faith_n and_o upon_o his_o faith_n as_o give_v by_o and_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n thus_o i_o say_v if_o he_o rest_v not_o till_o he_o come_v to_o christ_n his_o mark_n and_o sign_n be_v not_o deceitful_a but_o true_a ant._n but_o sir_n if_o a_o unbeliever_n may_v have_v a_o resemblance_n of_o every_o grace_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o a_o believer_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o find_v out_o the_o difference_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v best_o for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o trouble_v himself_o at_o all_o about_o mark_n and_o sign_n evan._n give_v i_o leave_v to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o in_o tell_v you_o that_o although_o we_o can_v say_v every_o one_o that_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n have_v also_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n yet_o we_o may_v true_o say_v that_o he_o who_o have_v not_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n for_o though_o all_o be_v not_o gold_n that_o glister_v yet_o all_o gold_n do_v glister_v and_o therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o true_o if_o you_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o make_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n your_o rule_n by_o endeavour_v to_o do_v what_o be_v require_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o to_o avoid_v what_o be_v there_o forbid_a it_o be_v a_o very_a evil_a sign_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o consider_v of_o it_o ant._n but_o sir_n you_o know_v the_o lord_n have_v promise_v to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o a_o believer_n heart_n and_o to_o give_v he_o his_o spirit_n to_o lead_v he_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o law_n write_v with_o paper_n and_o ink_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o life_n to_o he_o neither_o have_v he_o any_o need_n to_o endeavour_v to_o be_v
