god_n do_v suspend_v their_o comfort_n so_o that_o though_o they_o may_v be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n for_o the_o main_a yet_o they_o shall_v not_o know_v it_o and_o all_o because_o they_o be_v not_o

bright_a that_o our_o conscience_n may_v witness_v with_o we_o and_o that_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o word_n may_v join_v their_o witness_n with_o our_o conscience_n the_o word_n say_v that_o he_o that_o love_v the_o brethren_n be_v translate_v to_o life_n and_o he_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o the_o word_n be_v christ_n sheep_n now_o do_v thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o that_o though_o in_o weak_a measure_n yet_o i_o do_v so_o then_o here_o be_v the_o word_n and_o thy_o conscience_n for_o thou_o and_o do_v the_o spirit_n witness_n with_o thy_o conscience_n that_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o then_o it_o be_v well_o thou_o keep_v thy_o evidence_n to_o purpose_n 4_o and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v this_o let_v we_o make_v conscience_n not_o to_o yield_v to_o any_o base_a doubt_n and_o fear_n and_o objection_n of_o satan_n and_o our_o own_o heart_n when_o we_o find_v any_o work_n of_o grace_n deny_v not_o the_o work_n of_o god_n lest_o we_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o some_o melancholy_a christian_n that_o though_o every_o man_n may_v see_v the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o they_o yet_o yield_v so_o slavish_o to_o the_o misguiding_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o the_o temptation_n of_o satan_n that_o they_o conclude_v they_o have_v no_o faith_n no_o love_n though_o other_o christian_n that_o can_v read_v their_o evidence_n better_o see_v that_o they_o have_v these_o in_o they_o what_o dishonour_n be_v this_o to_o god_n and_o his_o spirit_n when_o a_o dark_a humour_n shall_v prevail_v more_o than_o the_o word_n the_o truth_n itself_o this_o be_v a_o great_a bondage_n which_o satan_n bring_v the_o soul_n into_o that_o when_o there_o be_v evidence_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o yet_o man_n will_v believe_v a_o peevish_a humour_n before_o the_o word_n and_o testimony_n of_o conscience_n enlighten_v by_o the_o spirit_n take_v heed_n of_o it_o as_o a_o great_a pride_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o we_o yield_v more_o to_o a_o sturdy_a dark_a unsubdued_a humour_n then_o to_o evidence_n itself_o therefore_o in_o such_o case_n harken_v not_o to_o what_o fear_n say_v or_o humour_n say_v or_o satan_n say_v or_o what_o the_o world_n say_v but_o harken_v what_o truth_n itself_o say_v and_o what_o conscience_n say_v when_o it_o be_v enlighten_v by_o the_o spirit_n as_o in_o good_a time_n when_o we_o be_v at_o the_o best_a

and_o carry_v they_o into_o a_o vigorous_a life_n fit_a for_o christian_n 5_o when_o we_o have_v find_v any_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o thereupon_o that_o our_o faith_n be_v true_a we_o ought_v to_o

faith_n for_o the_o root_n and_o branch_n be_v together_o though_o the_o root_n be_v not_o always_o discern_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o discover_v any_o true_a faith_n in_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o let_v we_o support_v and_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o it_o for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o by_o christ_n a_o heir_n of_o heaven_n and_o a_o child_n of_o god_n what_o in_o the_o
