own_o mercy_n as_o jonah_n say_v to_o embrace_v some_o lust_n or_o other_o either_o to_o embrace_v the_o world_n or_o to_o fall_v to_o wantonness_n or_o drunkenness_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o

for_o base_a thing_n i_o say_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o saint_n here_o that_o know_v what_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v but_o will_v say_v

when_o a_o man_n see_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o other_o that_o be_v certain_a always_o if_o god_n look_v strange_o upon_o he_o he_o will_v look_v strange_o upon_o other_o if_o god_n quarrel_n with_o he_o he_o will_v quarrel_v with_o other_o but_o if_o god_n smile_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o shed_v his_o love_n into_o the_o heart_n and_o set_v his_o love_n upon_o he_o he_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o any_o that_o be_v without_o i_o mean_v with_o a_o carnal_a anger_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o a_o man_n way_n please_v god_n the_o

cross_a with_o god_n and_o he_o have_v a_o guilty_a conscience_n a_o guilty_a soul_n have_v no_o true_a peace_n he_o be_v ready_a almost_o to_o fall_v out_o with_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o street_n he_o quarrel_v with_o his_o servant_n with_o his_o horse_n with_o every_o thing_n because_o he_o have_v a_o unquiet_a spirit_n within_o when_o a_o man_n please_v god_n the_o stone_n shall_v be_v at_o

little_a what_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o professor_n that_o have_v one_o foot_n on_o mount_n sinai_n they_o walk_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n they_o have_v

the_o gospel_n all_o our_o ravenous_a spirit_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o soul_n that_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n shed_v into_o it_o and_o the_o peace_n of_o

now_o from_o all_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o thought_n what_o you_o and_o i_o shall_v learn_v first_o for_o ever_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v learn_v patient_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n

this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o some_o these_o carnal_a ordinance_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v good_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o former_a time_n but_o now_o glorious_a time_n be_v come_v for_o saint_n to_o live_v immediate_o on_o god_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o when_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v call_v there_o will_v be_v need_n of_o these_o ordinance_n and_o though_o as_o we_o grow_v more_o perfect_a in_o glory_n so_o we_o have_v less_o need_n of_o they_o therefore_o as_o we_o be_v more_o glorious_a and_o have_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o they_o have_v in_o the_o old_a so_o we_o have_v few_o ordinance_n than_o they_o and_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n when_o she_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o glory_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o ordinance_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v but_o yet_o we_o have_v infirmity_n and_o the_o lord_n know_v what_o be_v best_a

one_o jot_n further_o than_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v it_o for_o fear_n of_o cocker_a he_o therefore_o i_o know_v if_o god_n frown_v and_o hide_v his_o face_n that_o god_n love_v i_o and_o he_o will_v

a_o moment_n now_o all_o my_o affliction_n and_o suffering_n i_o be_o not_o to_o look_v on_o they_o under_o the_o law_n that_o be_v as_o though_o god_n in_o reference_n to_o these_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o satisfy_v himself_o and_o his_o vengeance_n and_o to_o let_v his_o wrath_n fall_v upon_o i_o that_o be_v clear_o to_o frustrate_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o be_o to_o look_v

as_o many_o as_o tend_v to_o this_o and_o flow_v from_o this_o without_o scruple_n i_o think_v
we_o may_v die_v for_o they_o but_o when_o our_o bibles_n have_v go_v through_o the_o hand_n of_o papist_n so_o many_o hundred_o year_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v to_o die_v for_o it_o he_o be_v

this_o be_v christ_n crucify_v and_o christ_n pour_v out_o of_o his_o spirit_n let_v the_o particle_n and_o the_o word_n run_v as_o they_o will_v this_o be_v the_o main_a that_o will_v hold_v as_o the_o gospel_n be_v intend_v and_o design_v for_o simple_a man_n more_o than_o other_o so_o with_o reverence_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o more_o simple_a plain_a thing_n than_o most_o man_n in_o the_o

the_o art_n etc._n etc._n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v learning_n to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a thing_n to_o perfect_v a_o man_n natural_n but_o i_o think_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o a_o man_n

not_o this_o be_v the_o main_a way_n the_o chief_a essential_a difference_n the_o one_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o other_o have_v not_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o whether_o yonder_o man_n pray_v or_o fast_o or_o preach_v or_o repeat_v or_o whether_o he_o do_v many_o good_a outward_a moral_a thing_n but_o whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v now_o almost_o a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o name_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v i_o say_v distinguish_v man_n from_o man_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o labour_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o assure_v our_o

up_o to_o this_o that_o with_o all_o humility_n and_o thankfulness_n i_o may_v say_v god_n have_v give_v to_o i_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o my_o

of_o himself_o for_o a_o poor_a creature_n to_o see_v many_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o if_o we_o will_v resolve_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

i_o mean_v therefore_o learn_v this_o lesson_n to_o strive_v for_o this_o as_o the_o chief_a thing_n to_o find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o you_o dwell_v and_o work_v in_o you_o because_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v one_o great_a promise_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n and_o all_o other_o promise_v belong_v to_o

set_v up_o his_o worship_n then_o when_o antichrist_n set_v it_o up_o our_o grow_v in_o knowledge_n be_v not_o as_o honest_a doctor_n preston_n say_v to_o know_v new_a thing_n so_o much_o as_o to_o

the_o matter_n of_o it_o first_o i_o find_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o plain_a simple_a thing_n not_o of_o ens_fw-la and_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la and_o notion_n that_o none_o

their_o high_a and_o glorious_a light_n but_o i_o see_v the_o apostle_n preach_v christ_n they_o tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o man_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n apprehend_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o he_o be_v a_o public_a person_n and_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n and_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o act_n we_o find_v none_o of_o those_o chimera_n and_o idea_n and_o distinction_n that_o we_o general_o find_v professor_n now_o aim_v at_o but_o to_o know_v plain_a christ_n crucify_v in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n as_o compare_v 1_o cor._n 2._o with_o philip._n 3._o we_o shall_v see_v clear_o paul_n say_v he_o know_v what_o the_o world_n do_v not_o know_v that_o eye_n

it_o be_v a_o plain_a simple_a thing_n it_o 2._o the_o instrument_n divulge_v it_o so_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n choose_v simple_a people_n to_o go_v and_o preach_v it_o he_o choose_v general_o fisher_n man_n and_o such_o poor_a man_n and_o woman_n sometime_o rude_a man_n in_o a_o manner_n without_o learning_n these_o be_v to_o go_v and_o tell_v a_o simple_a story_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v etc._n etc._n i_o find_v also_o the_o party_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v direct_v direct_v 3._o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v
in_o your_o soul_n i_o know_v god_n many_o time_n by_o these_o break_a word_n may_v do_v your_o soul_n good_a but_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o i_o confess_v my_o soul_n be_v so_o full_a of_o
