common_o see_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o man_n when_o he_o please_v to_o be_v vain_a and_o ungrateful_a may_v impute_v all_o event_n to_o his_o own_o power_n and_o application_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n leave_v this_o obscurity_n upon_o his_o dispensation_n on_o purpose_n to_o administer_v a_o advantage_n and_o commendation_n to_o our_o faith_n not_o a_o opportunity_n or_o argument_n to_o our_o doubt_v but_o yet_o if_o we_o will_v doubt_v the_o case_n be_v plain_a that_o we_o may_v as_o well_o doubt_v of_o any_o act_n of_o his_o ordinary_a providence_n as_o of_o his_o sanctify_a grace_n and_o so_o by_o this_o method_n of_o reason_v god_n will_v have_v no_o share_n leave_v he_o in_o the_o managment_n of_o the_o world_n we_o allow_v again_o that_o there_o be_v another_o obscurity_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o this_o dispensation_n we_o know_v not_o the_o philosophy_n of_o sanctify_a grace_n not_o unto_o what_o class_n of_o being_n to_o reduce_v it_o nor_o under_o what_o modes_n to_o conceive_v its_o operation_n and_o this_o be_v a_o speculation_n that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o argue_v we_o ignorant_a of_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v of_o the_o issue_n and_o retreat_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o yet_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v we_o so_o whether_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v too_o excellent_a for_o we_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v too_o useless_a as_o no_o way_n conduce_v to_o the_o end_n of_o practical_a wisdom_n for_o we_o may_v observe_v of_o our_o saviour_n that_o in_o all_o his_o discourse_n he_o never_o entertain_v his_o auditory_a with_o any_o doctrine_n that_o be_v pure_o speculative_a because_o such_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v we_o more_o vain_a than_o wise_a have_v he_o lead_v our_o understanding_n through_o the_o whole_a theory_n of_o grace_n we_o can_v not_o have_v accommodate_v it_o better_o to_o our_o use_n than_o a_o honest_a heart_n now_o can_v without_o any_o far_a insight_n no_o more_o than_o if_o he_o have_v stoop_v to_o teach_v we_o the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o wind_n any_o mariner_n can_v have_v gather_v it_o more_o commodious_o into_o his_o sheet_n it_o be_v not_o then_o our_o emulation_n to_o determine_v how_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n be_v do_v our_o only_a care_n be_v that_o it_o be_v do_v we_o pretend_v not_o to_o declare_v but_o thankful_o to_o admire_v by_o what_o ray_n the_o divine_a grace_n open_v and_o shine_v in_o upon_o our_o understanding_n clear_v it_o from_o worldly_a prejudices_fw-la and_o the_o imposture_n of_o flesh_n and_o render_v it_o teachable_a considerative_a and_o firm_a by_o what_o motion_n it_o inspire_v good_a thought_n excite_v good_a purpose_n and_o suggest_v wholesome_a counsel_n and_o expedient_n by_o what_o welcome_a violence_n it_o draw_v our_o will_n steer_v our_o appetite_n and_o check_v our_o passion_n by_o what_o heat_v it_o kindle_v love_n and_o resolution_n and_o cheerfulness_n of_o endeavour_n by_o what_o discipline_n it_o extinguish_v sinful_a imagination_n and_o loose_a desire_n by_o what_o power_n it_o awe_v the_o devil_n and_o foil_n temptation_n and_o remove_v impediment_n and_o strengthen_v and_o exhilarate_v amid_o all_o difficulty_n and_o final_o by_o what_o patient_a art_n it_o turn_v mould_n and_o transform_v our_o stubborn_a nature_n into_o new_a notion_n new_a savour_n new_a power_n new_a act_n new_a aim_n new_a joy_n as_o if_o we_o be_v entire_o new_a creature_n and_o descend_v from_o another_o race_n all_o these_o effect_n do_v as_o well_o by_o their_o wonder_n as_o their_o benefit_n render_v grace_n as_o our_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o unspeakable_a gift_n 9.15_o a_o gift_n surmount_v our_o apprehension_n as_o well_o as_o it_o do_v our_o merit_n that_o these_o be_v all_o the_o esfect_n of_o god_n grace_n we_o know_v because_o he_o have_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v so_o that_o they_o be_v so_o we_o know_v because_o many_o of_o they_o be_v wrought_v beside_o our_o think_v many_o without_o our_o seek_v and_o all_o beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o too_o well_o know_v and_o experience_a infirmity_n that_o they_o be_v so_o we_o know_v because_o their_o be_v so_o comport_v best_a with_o the_o great_a end_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o their_o maker_n for_o it_o tend_v much_o more_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o watch_v over_o and_o lead_v and_o assist_v infirm_a creature_n than_o to_o have_v make_v they_o strong_a and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o my_o second_o head_n the_o distribution_n of_o grace_n unto_o man_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o it_o the_o doctrine_n whereof_o i_o shall_v form_v into_o this_o proposition_n viz._n that_o god_n distribute_v his_o grace_n to_o every_o man_n in_o proportion_n to_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o necessary_a duty_n god_n who_o have_v lay_v our_o burden_n upon_o we_o and_o command_v we_o to_o be_v strong_a mock_v we_o not_o but_o so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v weak_a offer_v we_o strength_n out_o of_o his_o own_o treasure_n with_o this_o prospect_n that_o receive_v it_o thence_o we_o may_v behave_v ourselves_o more_o reverent_o and_o thankful_o under_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o obligation_n to_o every_o one_o therefore_o that_o consider_v his_o want_n and_o value_v the_o supply_n and_o apply_v himself_o for_o the_o gift_n with_o a_o worthy_a affection_n and_o through_o

providence_n have_v order_v a_o diversity_n of_o state_n in_o human_a life_n produce_v a_o diversity_n of_o duty_n so_o the_o same_o good_a providence_n have_v ordain_v divers_a sanctify_a gift_n and_o divers_a measure_n of_o the_o same_o gift_n to_o be_v distribute_v respective_o among_o man_n that_o no_o man_n may_v necessary_o be_v want_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o particular_a state_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n cap._n 11._o 2._o speak_v of_o that_o fullness_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v to_o rest_v upon_o our_o saviour_n distribute_v the_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o its_o operation_n into_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n the_o spirit_n of_o counsel_n and_o may_v the_o spirit_n of_o knowledge_n and_o the_o fear_n o●_n the_o lord_n which_o the_o church_n look_v upon_o as_o a_o proper_a enumeration_n of_o the_o sanctify_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o god_n do_v diverse_o distribute_v unto_o man_n in_o order_n to_o the_o common_a salvation_n there_o be_v wisdom_n for_o those_o that_o teach_v and_o understanding_n for_o those_o that_o learn_v and_o counsel_n for_o such_o as_o be_v in_o perplexity_n and_o may_v for_o such_o as_o be_v in_o difficulty_n and_o knowledge_n for_o they_o that_o err_v and_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o piety_n as_o other_o version_n read_v it_o for_o all_o that_o will_v be_v pious_a now_o of_o these_o gift_n god_n give_v such_o kind_n and_o measure_v to_o every_o man_n as_o he_o have_v need_n of_o to_o every_o private_a person_n so_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o private_a

of_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v the_o only_a scope_n of_o all_o his_o distribution_n we_o may_v take_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o whole_a from_o our_o bishop_n in_o the_o text_n he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o endow_v with_o grace_n sufficient_a for_o a_o private_a salvation_n before_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n as_o the_o forego_n verse_n imply_v but_o be_v now_o by_o that_o sacramental_a rite_n

measure_n of_o his_o grace_n upon_o he_o through_o the_o same_o rite_n god_n confer_v i_o say_v both_o grace_n and_o duty_n through_o the_o same_o rite_n to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v two_o thing_n moral_o inseparable_a for_o he_o that_o do_v more_o duty_n shall_v have_v more_o grace_n and_o he_o that_o receive_v more_o grace_n receive_v a_o obligation_n to_o do_v more_o duty_n but_o here_o it_o be_v of_o importance_n to_o observe_v the_o restriction_n of_o the_o proposition_n i_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a duty_n to_o which_o god_n apportion_v the_o measure_n of_o his_o
