the_o spirit_n of_o man_n for_o health_n be_v this_o namely_o it_o do_v quicken_v or_o enliven_v the_o original_a principle_n of_o amity_n to_o god_n and_o enmity_n to_o satan_n even_o as_o it_o do_v

of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n wheresoever_o the_o gospel_n come_v it_o quicken_v and_o enliven_a man_n in_o disposition_n to_o harken_v to_o the_o external_a call_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o faith_n to_o receive_v life_n in_o christ_n wherefore_o say_v christ_n if_o any_o man_n will_v do_v god_n will_v he_o shall_v

be_v say_v they_o shall_v live_v lead_v we_o to_o the_o second_o part_n namely_o the_o spirit_n internal_a more_o special_a pour_v upon_o all_o flesh_n that_o be_v answerable_o as_o man_n do_v come_v in_o the_o precedent_n enliven_v or_o renew_v disposition_n to_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n hold_v forth_o by_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n as_o the_o brazen_a

before_o in_o the_o precedent_n p._n hence_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n say_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v that_o be_v under_o those_o renew_a disposition_n towards_o christ_n and_o stand_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v and_o rouse_v up_o this_o grace_n to_o harken_v to_o god_n call_v to_o the_o object_n of_o life_n and_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o light_n that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o right_a belief_n as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o jesus_n from_o strength_n to_o strength_n and_o so_o to_o receive_v life_n in_o he_o ephes_n 5.14.8_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o at_o ephesus_n the_o

and_o internal_o pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o gentile_n dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n be_v this_o that_o as_o sin_n by_o their_o apostasy_n have_v reign_v unto_o

his_o proceed_n be_v equal_o alike_o to_o all_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n for_o than_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o great_a commission_n into_o all_o the_o world_n say_v to_o his_o ambassador_n

damn_v mark_v 16.15_o &_o 16._o hence_o saint_n peter_n say_v of_o a_o truth_n i_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n but_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o

as_o god_n do_v expressive_o manifest_v himself_o to_o man_n and_o angel_n by_o object_n suitable_a to_o their_o apprehension_n so_o far_o forth_o he_o be_v to_o they_o a_o object_n of_o love_n and_o

a_o object_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o adoration_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a so_o far_o as_o god_n do_v shadow_n out_o himself_o to_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o object_n proceed_v against_o they_o and_o contrary_a to_o they_o and_o more_o than_o their_o apprehension_n can_v comprehend_v so_o farforth_o he_o be_v to_o man_n and_o angel_n a_o object_n of_o dolour_n dread_n and_o ever_o sink_v desperation_n second_o observe_v that_o in_o either_o estate_n adam_n can_v not_o convey_v to_o his_o posterity_n more_o than_o what_o himself_o enjoy_v therefore_o as_o in_o his_o second_o estate_n by_o covenant_n he_o can_v not_o convey_v his_o natural_a perfection_n alone_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v covenant_n but_o both_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a joint_o together_o because_o than_o his_o
