or_o no._n now_o that_o a_o man_n may_v know_v this_o the_o better_a i_o will_v make_v it_o clear_a by_o this_o example_n take_v a_o bottle_n that_o be_v full_a of_o water_n and_o another_o that_o be_v full_a of_o aquavitae_n look_v upon_o they_o outward_o and_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o colour_n but_o if_o you_o taste_v the_o one_o be_v hot_a and_o lively_a but_o the_o other_o be_v cold_a and_o raw_a so_o if_o you_o look_v unto_o the_o outward_a formal_a action_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o have_v the_o same_o colour_n that_o the_o action_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n have_v but_o if_o you_o taste_v they_o examine_v their_o life_n and_o search_v into_o their_o heart_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o great_a difference_n the_o one_o of_o they_o it_o may_v be_v may_v seem_v to_o have_v life_n and_o heat_n in_o they_o but_o they_o want_v the_o spirit_n for_o they_o have_v neither_o a_o loathe_n of_o sin_n nor_o power_n to_o resist_v sin_n they_o may_v put_v a_o false_a colour_n upon_o their_o action_n but_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v they_o may_v restrain_v some_o lust_n for_o some_o end_n but_o such_o can_v master_v and_o subdue_v they_o and_o it_o may_v heat_v a_o part_n of_o his_o heart_n but_o it_o can_v heat_v all_o his_o heart_n but_o where_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n come_v it_o heat_v all_o the_o soul_n kindle_v a_o holy_a fire_n in_o all_o the_o faculty_n to_o burn_v up_o sin_n which_o be_v there_o and_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o john_n baptist_n baptism_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ._n john_n will_v baptize_v they_o with_o water_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o examine_v what_o heat_n there_o be_v in_o you_o against_o evil_n and_o what_o zeal_n there_o be_v in_o you_o to_o good_a be_v you_o cold_a in_o prayer_n in_o conference_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v you_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o pray_v and_o confer_v but_o see_v with_o what_o heat_n you_o do_v they_o be_v it_o with_o you_o in_o these_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v you_o to_o be_v in_o earthly_a 1_o cor._n 7._o 30._o 31._o to_o sorrow_n as_o if_o you_o sorrow_v not_o to_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o you_o use_v it_o not_o do_v you_o perform_v holy_a 31._o duty_n with_o that_o coldness_n as_o if_o you_o care_v not_o whether_o you_o do_v they_o or_o do_v they_o not_o do_v you_o hear_v as_o if_o you_o hear_v not_o and_o do_v you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o if_o you_o receive_v it_o not_o and_o do_v you_o pray_v as_o if_o you_o pray_v not_o and_o do_v you_o love_v as_o if_o you_o love_v it_o not_o then_o sure_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o find_v spiritual_a heat_n and_o zeal_n in_o you_o a_o nimbleness_n and_o quickness_n to_o good_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o heat_v the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o zeal_n of_o thy_o house_n have_v even_o eat_v i_o up_o intimate_v i_o have_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o zeal_n wrought_v in_o i_o by_o thy_o spirit_n that_o i_o can_v see_v thou_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n dishonour_v but_o i_o must_v burn_v with_o zeal_n therefore_o examine_v what_o zeal_n you_o have_v for_o god_n and_o godliness_n be_v you_o hot_a for_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n and_o cold_a for_o grace_n and_o holiness_n whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o yourselves_o yet_o you_o have_v not_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n there_o be_v not_o a_o holy_a man_n or_o woman_n that_o belong_v unto_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v this_o holy_a fire_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o mistake_v i_o as_o if_o every_o christian_a do_v attain_v unto_o the_o like_a heat_n and_o zeal_n as_o other_o do_v for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o some_o have_v more_o some_o have_v less_o according_a unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n that_o they_o have_v but_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o must_v be_v full_a of_o heat_n full_a in_o some_o measure_n answerable_a unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n but_o if_o you_o find_v no_o heat_n at_o all_o in_o you_o than_o you_o have_v not_o a_o grain_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o to_o be_v hot_a be_v to_o be_v lukewarm_a and_o lukewarmenesse_a be_v that_o which_o god_n hate_v it_o be_v a_o temper_n mix_v which_o be_v both_o loathsome_a to_o nature_n and_o odious_a to_o god_n revel_v 3._o 15._o the_o laodicean_n be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a but_o lukewarm_a that_o be_v they_o have_v neither_o heat_n 15._o to_o good_a nor_o so_o cold_a as_o to_o forsake_v the_o truth_n sin_n and_o holiness_n stand_v in_o aequilibrio_fw-la together_o and_o they_o have_v as_o good_a a_o mind_n unto_o the_o one_o as_o unto_o the_o other_o now_o because_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o they_o therefore_o say_v god_n i_o will_v spew_v they_o cut_v and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v zealous_a and_o amend_v except_o you_o labour_v to_o be_v hot_a in_o the_o spirit_n you_o can_v be_v save_v titus_n 2._o 14._o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n die_v that_o he_o may_v purchase_v unto_o himself_o a_o people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n this_o zeal_n must_v not_o be_v a_o constrain_a zeal_n but_o a_o willing_a zeal_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o motive_n to_o move_v man_n to_o be_v zealous_a but_o this_o because_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v they_o for_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v zealous_a for_o his_o glory_n if_o there_o be_v any_o spark_n of_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o he_o it_o will_v burn_v at_o christ_n dishonour_n and_o if_o christ_n come_v unto_o this_o end_n to_o make_v man_n zealous_a then_o sure_o christ_n will_v not_o loose_v his_o end_n but_o they_o that_o christ_n will_v save_v shall_v be_v zealous_a therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o labour_n to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o labour_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n that_o you_o may_v be_v zealous_a but_o alas_o man_n have_v drink_v too_o much_o of_o this_o cup_n of_o giddiness_n they_o think_v they_o need_v not_o be_v so_o zealous_a as_o they_o be_v but_o i_o say_v if_o you_o be_v not_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n especial_o it_o stand_v man_n now_o upon_o if_o they_o have_v any_o holy_a zeal_n in_o they_o to_o show_v it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v time_n you_o shall_v show_v it_o when_o you_o see_v such_o halt_n between_o two_o opinion_n show_v your_o zeal_n by_o hate_v and_o abhor_v popery_n and_o by_o labour_v to_o draw_v man_n from_o it_o especial_o now_o when_o we_o see_v man_n so_o desirous_a to_o go_v into_o egypt_n again_o which_o be_v to_o be_v lament_v in_o these_o day_n for_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n against_o we_o but_o where_o be_v our_o zeal_n what_o spiritual_a heat_n be_v there_o in_o we_o where_o be_v these_o man_n that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n will_v have_v be_v hot_a and_o zealous_a nay_o where_o be_v the_o generation_n of_o these_o man_n sure_o they_o be_v all_o go_v for_o there_o be_v no_o heat_n and_o zeal_n leave_v it_o be_v true_a we_o abound_v in_o knowledge_n we_o have_v the_o same_o knowledge_n that_o they_o have_v but_o we_o want_v their_o zeal_n and_o spirit_n and_o we_o have_v the_o same_o gift_n but_o we_o want_v their_o spirit_n but_o let_v we_o now_o at_o length_n show_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n to_o have_v the_o spirit_n in_o we_o by_o our_o zeal_n against_o evil_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o many_o holy_a man_n that_o have_v 1._o the_o spirit_n yet_o be_v not_o so_o hot_a and_o zealous_a against_o evil_n but_o be_v marvellous_a mild_a and_o patient_a therefore_o a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v zealous_a first_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o holy_a man_n may_v have_v pit_n wherein_o they_o may_v be_v fall_v they_o may_v have_v answ._n dross_n aswell_o as_o gold_n and_o hence_o they_o may_v be_v draw_v by_o a_o strong_a passion_n and_o lust_n not_o just_o to_o weigh_v sin_n aright_o whence_o arise_v remissness_n and_o neglect_v both_o in_o do_v good_a and_o resist_v evil_a but_o this_o in_o a_o regenerate_a man_n i_o call_v but_o a_o passion_n because_o it_o continue_v not_o for_o prayer_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o pure_a word_n will_v recover_v this_o again_o that_o be_v will_v recover_v his_o strength_n and_o make_v he_o zealous_a against_o sin_n but_o if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n whatsoever_o

profession_n he_o make_v of_o christ_n that_o can_v wink_v at_o sin_n and_o not_o be_v move_v at_o it_o and_o the_o word_n nor_o prayer_n do_v not_o kindle_v this_o holy_a fire_n in_o he_o then_o certain_o that_o man_n be_v a_o dead_a man_n there_o be_v no_o spark_n of_o holiness_n in_o he_o therefore_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o every_o holy_a man_n as_o they_o be_v use_v to_o say_v to_o hannibal_n that_o he_o have_v fire_n in_o he_o but_o he_o want_v blow_v so_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n you_o have_v heat_n in_o you_o but_o if_o this_o heat_n do_v not_o appear_v at_o all_o time_n or_o at_o sometime_o it_o be_v because_o it_o want_v blow_v for_o when_o they_o have_v a_o just_a occasion_n to_o exercise_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n for_o god_n glory_n they_o will_v show_v that_o they_o have_v zeal_n in_o they_o and_o be_v hot_a and_o lively_a to_o good_a and_o not_o dead_a in_o sin_n for_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a and_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o swoon_n take_v a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o swoon_n if_o aquavitae_n and_o rub_v of_o his_o joint_n will_v not_o recover_v he_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v dead_a so_o if_o the_o word_n will_v not_o work_v heat_n in_o you_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o be_v more_o than_o in_o a_o swoon_n you_o be_v already_o dead_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o adamant_n it_o will_v not_o be_v heat_v with_o fire_n so_o i_o may_v say_v if_o the_o word_n will_v not_o heat_v you_o when_o you_o be_v rub_v with_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n you_o be_v like_o the_o adamant_n dead_a unto_o grace_n second_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o howsoever_o some_o man_n that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v not_o so_o zealous_a as_o be_v 2._o some_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v true_a yet_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v that_o because_o counterfeit_v drug_n and_o ware_n have_v the_o same_o send_v and_o smell_v that_o the_o good_a ware_n have_v that_o thererefore_o they_o be_v as_o good_a or_o that_o the_o good_a ware_n have_v not_o the_o like_a but_o it_o be_v better_a to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o same_o and_o that_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o this_o that_o the_o affection_n have_v a_o false_a dye_n and_o gloss_n put_v upon_o they_o and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a zeal_n and_o there_o be_v a_o true_a zeal_n as_o there_o may_v be_v yellow_a piece_n counterfeit_v aswell_o as_o yellow_a piece_n true_a mettle_n so_o there_o may_v be_v counterfeit_a fire_n as_o well_o as_o true_a fire_n this_o than_o i_o say_v man_n may_v be_v sanctify_v and_o yet_o be_v mild_a and_o not_o of_o so_o hot_a and_o fiery_a a_o disposition_n they_o may_v not_o so_o burn_v in_o the_o spirit_n as_o other_o do_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o conclude_v that_o it_o matter_n not_o therefore_o whether_o you_o be_v zealous_a or_o no_o for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a in_o he_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v false_a in_o thou_o and_o know_v also_o that_o this_o meekness_n be_v join_v with_o much_o holy_a zeal_n though_o it_o be_v not_o outward_o express_v for_o as_o certain_o as_o where_o true_a fire_n be_v there_o be_v heat_n so_o where_o there_o be_v the_o spirit_n there_o be_v zeal_n therefore_o examine_v whether_o you_o have_v heat_n in_o you_o if_o you_o have_v not_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n the_o second_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o sign_n you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n or_o no_o be_v this_o if_o you_o find_v that_o you_o be_v not_o only_o able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o you_o can_v natural_o but_o you_o have_v also_o holiness_n join_v with_o it_o this_o sign_n i_o make_v of_o two_o part_n because_o a_o man_n may_v do_v many_o thing_n that_o may_v carry_v a_o show_n above_o holiness_n nature_n and_o yet_o want_v holiness_n but_o if_o they_o be_v above_o nature_n and_o then_o have_v holiness_n join_v with_o they_o than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n first_o i_o say_v it_o will_v make_v you_o to_o do_v more_o than_o you_o can_v do_v by_o nature_n it_o put_v another_o manner_n 1._o of_o strength_n in_o you_o by_o which_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v these_o thing_n which_o before_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v as_o for_o example_n it_o will_v work_v in_o you_o a_o patience_n above_o a_o natural_a patience_n this_o we_o see_v in_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v crucify_v he_o open_v not_o his_o mouth_n he_o be_v like_o a_o lamb_n he_o have_v more_o than_o natural_a patience_n this_o be_v true_a in_o paul_n peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o saint_n again_o it_o work_v in_o we_o love_v above_o a_o natural_a love_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v full_a of_o love_n he_o have_v compassion_n on_o the_o 3●_n multitude_n again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o man_n a_o joy_n more_o than_o natural_a joy_n this_o we_o see_v in_o paul_n and_o silas_n when_o they_o be_v in_o prison_n they_o sing_v for_o joy_n and_o the_o 25._o disciple_n in_o the_o act_n rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v think_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ._n again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o 41._o man_n boldness_n above_o natural_a boldness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v act_v 4._o 14._o that_o they_o preach_v 14._o the_o word_n with_o great_a boldness_n that_o be_v with_o a_o boldness_n above_o a_o natural_a boldness_n and_o so_o luther_n he_o be_v endue_v with_o this_o spirit_n of_o boldness_n because_o else_o he_o will_v never_o be_v so_o bold_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o truth_n if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v another_o spirit_n in_o he_o again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o man_n wisdom_n above_o a_o natural_a wisdom_n 1._o sam._n 18._o 12._o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o and_o therefore_o 11._o saul_n be_v afraid_a of_o he_o and_o so_o abimelech_n fear_v abraham_n because_o he_o see_v in_o he_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o man_n strength_n above_o natural_a strength_n because_o with_o the_o strength_n of_o

be_v constant_a in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n forwhat_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v so_o little_a thrive_a in_o grace_n that_o man_n remain_v cripple_n in_o grace_n but_o because_o they_o use_v mean_n of_o growth_n but_o by_o fit_n and_o haltnesse_n that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o constant_a in_o a_o good_a course_n of_o life_n they_o be_v still_o off_o and_o on_o the_o rule_n sometime_o the_o shot_n will_v be_v short_a and_o other_o time_n they_o hit_v the_o mark_n they_o come_v seldom_o unto_o the_o mean_n now_o and_o then_o they_o pray_v and_o now_o and_o then_o they_o make_v use_v of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o inconstancy_n jogle_n the_o faculty_n and_o weaken_v the_o habit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o you_o shall_v thrive_v in_o grace_n except_o you_o be_v constant_a the_o apostle_n james_n call_v they_o 8._o unstable_a man_n let_v these_o never_o think_v to_o receive_v strength_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n till_o they_o come_v to_o more_o constancy_n in_o good_a therefore_o labour_v to_o be_v constant_a in_o prayer_n constant_a in_o hear_v in_o meditation_n in_o the_o sacrament_n in_o conference_n which_o if_o you_o be_v not_o you_o will_v not_o grow_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n the_o four_o rule_n if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o mean_n effectual_a be_v this_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o depend_v rule_n upon_o the_o mean_n without_o god_n for_o know_v that_o the_o mean_n without_o god_n be_v but_o as_o a_o pen_n without_o ink_n a_o pipe_n without_o water_n or_o a_o scabbard_n without_o a_o sword_n they_o will_v not_o strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n without_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o put_v life_n in_o the_o mean_n and_o yet_o you_o must_v not_o cut_v off_o the_o pipe_n from_o the_o wellhead_n you_o must_v not_o depend_v upon_o god_n without_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n but_o you_o must_v use_v both_o that_o be_v first_o seek_v to_o god_n and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o withal_o use_v the_o mean_n constant_o because_o as_o water_n be_v carry_v from_o the_o wellhead_n unto_o the_o pipe_n and_o so_o from_o the_o pipe_n unto_o many_o place_n so_o the_o mean_n be_v as_o pipe_n to_o carry_v grace_n into_o the_o soul_n therefore_o use_v they_o and_o cut_v they_o not_o off_o by_o carelessness_n if_o you_o do_v you_o will_v cut_v off_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n the_o three_o mean_n if_o you_o will_v strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n be_v this_o you_o must_v get_v rectify_v judgement_n mean_n that_o be_v you_o must_v see_v that_o your_o judgement_n be_v right_a for_o man_n do_v deceive_v themselves_o in_o their_o judgement_n they_o think_v that_o they_o have_v strong_a judgement_n and_o that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o thing_n when_o indeed_o they_o be_v marvellous_a weak_a now_o that_o you_o may_v not_o deceive_v yourselves_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o some_o sign_n of_o a_o rectified_a judgement_n the_o first_o sign_n of_o a_o rectify_a judgement_n be_v this_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o your_o constancy_n so_o much_o constancy_n sign_n in_o good_a and_o so_o much_o be_v your_o judgement_n rectify_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a so_o much_o inconstancy_n and_o so_o much_o weakness_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n have_v propound_v a_o rule_n unto_o himself_o and_o be_v not_o constant_a in_o it_o it_o argue_v that_o he_o be_v weak_a in_o his_o judgement_n because_o he_o keep_v not_o close_o to_o the_o rule_n or_o that_o there_o be_v strong_a or_o more_o argument_n to_o the_o contrary_a which_o make_v he_o to_o fall_v away_o and_o sit_v down_o from_o the_o rule_n and_o he_o be_v thus_o pose_v because_o he_o be_v but_o weak_a in_o judgement_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v and_o proffer_v a_o man_n one_o hundred_o pound_n not_o to_o leave_v such_o a_o action_n and_o another_o man_n shall_v come_v and_o offer_v he_o two_o hundred_o pound_n to_o leave_v it_o if_o the_o man_n be_v weak_a in_o judgement_n he_o will_v be_v draw_v by_o the_o great_a reward_n though_o it_o be_v evil_a therefore_o if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v beat_v and_o make_v to_o sit_v down_o by_o strong_a seem_a argument_n than_o you_o have_v indeed_o in_o yourself_o than_o you_o must_v get_v your_o judgement_n rectify_v therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o your_o judgement_n be_v rectify_v which_o you_o shall_v know_v by_o your_o constancy_n in_o holy_a duty_n if_o a_o little_a profit_n or_o pleasure_n will_v draw_v you_o away_o whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o yourselves_o your_o judgement_n be_v weak_a the_o second_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v sign_n whether_o you_o judgement_n be_v rectify_v be_v this_o examine_v whether_o your_o passion_n be_v strong_a for_o strong_a passion_n have_v weak_a affection_n unto_o good_a when_o the_o passion_n of_o a_o man_n be_v strong_a they_o weaken_v the_o understanding_n they_o weaken_v the_o will_n and_o the_o affection_n as_o touch_v the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o paul_n in_o act_n 14._o 15._o when_o they_o will_v have_v make_v he_o a_o 15._o god_n he_o cry_v out_o we_o be_v man_n subject_a unto_o passion_n as_o you_o be_v that_o be_v full_a of_o weakness_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v your_o passion_n in_o this_o thing_n prove_v your_o weakness_n of_o judgement_n therefore_o labour_v to_o have_v strong_a affection_n to_o good_a for_o this_o strength_n in_o the_o affection_n come_v from_o the_o inward_a man_n again_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o affection_n unto_o good_a show_v the_o abide_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o 1_o sam._n 11._o 6._o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o saul_n and_o he_o be_v angry_a that_o be_v his_o affection_n 6._o be_v strong_a for_o god_n glory_n in_o act_n 4._o 32._o after_o that_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 32._o they_o speak_v bold_o they_o have_v strong_a affection_n for_o god_n glory_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n be_v compare_v unto_o fire_n and_o oil_n fire_n that_o burn_v and_o consume_v and_o oil_n that_o mollify_v and_o soften_v so_o do_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o examine_v whether_o you_o burn_v in_o the_o inward_a man_n see_v whether_o you_o have_v strong_a affection_n to_o good_a if_o you_o have_v you_o be_v strong_a if_o not_o you_o be_v weak_a and_o again_o see_v what_o cheerfulness_n you_o have_v examine_v whether_o your_o heart_n be_v soft_a and_o tender_a and_o pliable_a than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o spirit_n be_v there_o it_o be_v true_a a_o strong_a man_n may_v have_v passion_n but_o it_o be_v but_o now_o and_o then_o it_o continue_v not_o it_o be_v not_o always_o yet_o so_o much_o passion_n as_o he_o have_v so_o much_o weakness_n there_o be_v in_o he_o therefore_o labour_v to_o overcome_v your_o passion_n the_o three_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o your_o judgement_n be_v rectify_v or_o no_o be_v this_o sign_n examine_v what_o contentment_n you_o have_v to_o bear_v loss_n and_o cross_n i_o gather_v this_o out_o of_o phil._n 4._o 12._o i_o can_v say_v the_o apostle_n want_n and_o abound_v i_o can_v 12._o do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v i_o examine_v therefore_o when_o you_o be_v abuse_v and_o reproach_v for_o christ_n whether_o you_o can_v take_v it_o patient_o can_v you_o be_v content_a to_o suffer_v disgrace_n and_o reproach_n for_o christ_n if_o you_o can_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o be_v strong_a in_o judgement_n if_o not_o you_o be_v weak_a whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o yourselves_o proverb_n 27._o say_v the_o wise_a man_n a_o wise_a man_n be_v know_v by_o his_o dignity_n so_o i_o may_v say_v a_o man_n that_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v know_v by_o his_o bear_n of_o reproach_n without_o seek_v after_o revenge_n again_o this_o man_n be_v spiritual_o strong_a in_o judgement_n therefore_o try_v your_o judgement_n by_o your_o contentedness_n the_o four_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v rectify_v judgement_n be_v this_o examine_v sign_n whether_o you_o find_v yourselves_o easy_a to_o be_v deceive_v if_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o be_v weak_a in_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o argument_n that_o paul_n use_v unto_o woman_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o man_n 1_o tim._n 2._o 12._o i_o permit_v not_o a_o woman_n to_o bear_v rule_n because_o she_o be_v first_o
