evangelist_n john_n 6.44_o where_o our_o saviour_n say_v no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o ●e_v except_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v i_o draw_v he_o in_o the_o which_o word_n we_o see_v clear_o

by_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o only_o wound_v and_o lance_v by_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n show_v ephes._n 2.1_o we_o be_v whole_o dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n yea_o obseque_v how_o void_a any_o dead_a body_n be_v of_o a_o natural_a life_n so_o void_a be_v our_o soul_n though_o they_o be_v live_v the_o natural_a life_n so_o void_a be_v they_o of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n of_o that_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a life_n whereunto_o we_o in_o this_o life_n do_v aspire_v until_o such_o time_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n draw_v our_o heart_n and_o mind_n that_o be_v quicken_v our_o heart_n and_o mind_n no_o it_o be_v not_o a_o draw_v as_o we_o common_o speak_v it_o be_v a_o very_a quicken_a of_o a_o dead_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o quicken_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v void_a of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n then_o except_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n draw_v we_o that_o be_v quicken_v we_o with_o that_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a life_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o come_v to_o heaven_n and_o except_o he_o nourish_v this_o life_n which_o he_o have_v begin_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o we_o can_v stand_v in_o this_o

can_v never_o long_o continue_v in_o any_o good_a resolution_n or_o purpose_n what_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o first_o work_n that_o ever_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v he_o take_v

in_o his_o soul_n that_o in_o the_o 17._o verse_n he_o call_v it_o bitter_a bitterness_n he_o have_v no_o word_n to_o express_v this_o bitterness_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v where_o the_o judgement_n

and_o part_n of_o this_o definition_n first_o of_o all_o i_o call_v this_o sacrament_n a_o seal_n because_o this_o sacrament_n serve_v to_o the_o same_o use_n to_o our_o soul_n that_o a_o common_a

it_o be_v not_o a_o seal_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o evidence_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o you_o know_v any_o evidence_n will_v make_v faith_n though_o it_o want_v a_o

the_o seal_n must_v be_v annex_v to_o the_o word_n preach_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n now_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o definition_n reason_n that_o this_o seal_n must_v be_v

the_o first_o be_v if_o you_o find_v yourselves_o refresh_v and_o recreate_v in_o your_o spirit_n from_o the_o terror_n of_o your_o conscience_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o sin_n which_o recreation_n and_o refreshment_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v call_v that_o peace_n that_o pass_v all_o understanding_n whereof_o the_o world_n be_v ignorant_a he_o that_o find_v any_o of_o this_o if_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a within_o he_o no_o question_n he_o have_v this_o life_n begin_v in_o he_o and_o the_o more_o this_o peace_n be_v augment_v the_o more_o the_o life_n grow_v but_o this_o peace_n grow_v by_o remove_v of_o sin_n therefore_o our_o whole_a study_n shall_v be_v to_o remove_v sin_n for_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o trouble_v the_o conscience_n be_v sin_n take_v away_o sin_n the_o conscience_n shall_v be_v at_o rest_n wherefore_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a effect_n i_o will_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n unto_o the_o second_o effect_n be_v joy_n and_o rejoice_v under_o trouble_n for_o we_o see_v trouble_v of_o the_o own_o nature_n bring_v not_o forth_o this_o effect_n but_o rather_o bring_v forth_o sorrow_n heaviness_n and_o lamentation_n then_o when_o our_o spirit_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o under_o trouble_n we_o rejoice_v and_o glory_n in_o it_o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n this_o joy_n be_v not_o in_o all_o trouble_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o trouble_n which_o we_o procure_v but_o only_o in_o the_o trouble_n which_o we_o sustain_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o which_o we_o sustain_v for_o christ_n his_o sake_n the_o three_o effect_n be_v if_o you_o have_v a_o love_n of_o god_n and_o good_a man_n and_o a_o hatred_n of_o evil_a where_o these_o effect_n be_v in_o any_o measure_n no_o doubt_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v there_o as_o by_o the_o contrary_a where_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o wicked_a and_o evil_a man_n no_o question_n let_v they_o speak_v of_o christ_n as_o they_o will_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n have_v full_a dominion_n this_o spirit_n of_o life_n we_o show_v be_v entertain_v by_o nourish_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n when_o we_o edify_v ourselves_o in_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n when_o we_o nourish_v the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n as_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o spirit_n be_v put_v out_o when_o by_o our_o evil_a do_n we_o put_v out_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n when_o we_o diminish_v our_o persuasion_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o christ_n &_o fall_v from_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n then_o you_o that_o have_v this_o life_n begin_v nourish_v it_o by_o well_o do_v for_o by_o well_o do_v no_o question_n our_o faith_n be_v corroborate_v delight_n therefore_o in_o well_o do_v sow_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o flesh_n run_v not_o with_o the_o thief_n nor_o consent_v not_o with_o the_o murderer_n for_o so_o you_o shall_v be_v participant_a of_o their_o punishment_n but_o sow_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o this_o you_o shall_v reap_v a_o everlasting_a and_o

very_o necessary_a and_o i_o will_v wish_v you_o to_o consider_v of_o these_o thing_n think_v on_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o god_n grant_v unto_o this_o country_n think_v again_o upon_o our_o

man_n but_o christ_n jesus_n have_v lock_v up_o and_o reserve_v the_o ministry_n of_o this_o heavenly_a thing_n to_o himself_o only_o therefore_o there_o be_v two_o giver_n in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o minister_n give_v the_o earthly_a thing_n christ_n jesus_n the_o mediator_n give_v you_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o this_o sacrament_n for_o christ_n in_o give_v the_o earthly_a thing_n will_v not_o use_v his_o own_o ministry_n immediate_o nor_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o angel_n but_o only_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o earthly_a man_n and_o as_o for_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o own_o body_n &_o blood_n he_o will_v not_o give_v it_o either_o to_o heavenly_a creature_n or_o earthly_a man_n but_o he_o keep_v this_o ministry_n to_o himself_o and_o he_o dispense_v his_o own_o body_n and_o blood_n to_o who_o and_o when_o he_o please_v and_o why_o if_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v power_n to_o give_v christ_n body_n &_o blood_n no_o question_n this_o man_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o cleanse_v the_o heart_n &_o conscience_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v this_o power_n with_o it_o and_o consequent_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n now_o it_o be_v only_a god_n that_o may_v forgive_v sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n can_v be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o man_n example_n we_o have_v in_o john_n the_o baptist_n math_n 3.11_o say_v he_o not_o the_o ministry_n that_o i_o have_v be_v of_o the_o element_n i_o be_o command_v to_o minister_v the_o element_n of_o

hand_n but_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n himself_o only_o and_o without_o this_o inward_a ministry_n the_o outward_a ministry_n be_v not_o worth_a a_o straw_n for_o my_o outward_a ministry_n yea_o suppose_v it_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o a_o angel_n and_o suppose_v christ_n be_v present_a in_o the_o flesh_n to_o minister_v unto_o you_o these_o outward_a thing_n except_o he_o conjoin_v the_o inward_a ministry_n of_o his_o spirit_n therewith_o it_o avail_v nothing_o it_o may_v well_o be_v as_o a_o process_n against_o you_o in_o the_o day_n of_o that_o general_a assembly_n but_o to_o your_o

water_v your_o ear_n by_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n then_o there_o be_v two_o offerer_n the_o minister_n offer_v the_o sign_n christ_n jesus_n offer_v himself_o the_o thing_n signify_v the_o

manner_n two_o person_n that_o offer_v and_o give_v the_o sacrament_n and_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sacrament_n so_o these_o two_o be_v offer_v and_o give_v in_o two_o action_n christ_n who_o

be_v offer_v and_o give_v in_o a_o outward_a action_n after_o a_o corporal_a and_o visible_a manner_n as_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o action_n so_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o instrument_n whereunto_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v offer_v for_o the_o thing_n signify_v that_o be_v christ_n be_v never_o offer_v to_o the_o mouth_n of_o my_o body_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n whole_a christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o offer_v either_o in_o the_o word_n or_o in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o the_o mouth_n of_o my_o body_n let_v the_o adversary_n find_v i_o that_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o bible_n that_o there_o be_v any_o other_o manner_n of_o receive_v christ_n then_o by_o faith_n and_o let_v they_o have_v the_o victory_n so_o there_o be_v not_o a_o instrument_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o neither_o hand_n nor_o mouth_n to_o receive_v christ_n but_o faith_n only_o as_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v

your_o head_n and_o in_o your_o body_n as_o proper_a to_o receive_v the_o sign_n as_o faith_n be_v to_o receive_v christ._n so_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v offer_v and_o give_v not_o to_o one_o instrument_n but_o to_o two_o the_o one_o to_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n the_o other_o to_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o mark_v by_o what_o way_n these_o thing_n be_v

after_o a_o natural_a manner_n the_o other_o after_o a_o secret_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n so_o in_o this_o last_o part_n you_o have_v these_o thing_n to_o mark_v to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o

you_o may_v sure_o persuade_v yourselves_o that_o if_o you_o be_v faithful_a christ_n be_v as_o busy_a work_n inward_o in_o your_o soul_n as_o the_o minister_n be_v work_v outward_o towards_o your_o

and_o you_o have_v the_o whole_a sacrament_n then_o from_o this_o discourse_n and_o deduction_n you_o may_v learn_v a_o double_a matter_n whereof_o the_o sacrament_n consist_v it_o stand_v on_o two_o

i_o beseech_v they_o see_v that_o reason_n fail_v they_o that_o they_o fight_v not_o against_o god_n for_o maintenance_n of_o a_o lie_n how_o old_a soever_o it_o be_v for_o the_o devil_n be_v old_a
