know_v the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n by_o the_o word_n in_o the_o soul_n by_o these_o particular_n first_o the_o spirit_n show_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n that_o he_o have_v no_o

that_o thou_o be_v a_o unfaithful_a soul_n and_o that_o thou_o have_v to_o power_n to_o work_v it_o of_o thyself_o than_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o word_n breathe_v upon_o the_o

and_o keep_v he_o in_o himself_o every_o man_n be_v bring_v in_o bed_n with_o his_o corruption_n as_o job_n speak_v namely_o thus_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o word_n drive_v the_o soul_n to_o a_o restless_a disquiet_n and_o make_v he_o see_v that_o h●e_v must_v not_o stay_v here_o but_o he_o must_v seek_v out_o and_o go_v from_o hence_o and_o seek_v for_o another_o condition_n or_o

will_v out_o and_o seek_v for_o another_o condition_n three_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v overpower_v those_o distemper_n and_o drive_v the_o soul_n to_o a_o restless_a condition_n till_o it_o look_v out_o for_o a_o better_a condition_n so_o last_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n show_v that_o poor_a soul_n a_o impossibility_n of_o find_v mercy_n but_o from_o god_n and_o therefore_o turn_v the_o

this_o place_n imply_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n set_v down_o all_o sinful_a carnal_a plea_n and_o pretence_n that_o the_o heart_n can_v make_v and_o persuade_v the_o heart_n that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o sinful_a and_o most_o lamentable_a estate_n and_o condition_n and_o must_v change_v second_o it_o convince_v the_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v good_a to_o be_v find_v in_o

can_v say_v this_o to_o thy_o soul_n the_o truth_n be_v lord_n i_o be_v a_o unbeliever_n and_o a_o unfaithful_a creature_n and_o the_o lord_n make_v i_o see_v it_o and_o leave_v i_o not_o there_o but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n he_o draw_v i_o from_o thence_o and_o lay_v fast_o hold_v on_o i_o and_o leave_v some_o remembrance_n of_o his_o
