paul_n have_v it_o phil._n 4.13_o i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n which_o strengthen_v i_o and_o he_o exhort_v all_o that_o when_o they_o have_v put_v on_o the_o whole_a armour_n of_o

the_o expression_n in_o the_o text_n lead_v i_o that_o way_n that_o what_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o health_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o body_n that_o in_o a_o spiritual_a

first_o upon_o this_o use_n that_o when_o in_o the_o use_n of_o these_o mean_n all_o begin_v to_o be_v well_o within_o the_o soul_n begin_v to_o thrive_v and_o prosper_v yet_o it_o may_v possible_o have_v its_o faint_a fit_n sometime_o by_o reason_n of_o continue_a affliction_n sometime_o from_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o invincible_a infirmity_n for_o the_o more_o of_o these_o gracious_a

2.5_o 6_o 7._o and_o david_n have_v like_a to_o have_v do_v so_o when_o false_a witness_n be_v rise_v up_o against_o he_o i_o have_v faint_v say_v he_o unless_o i_o have_v believe_v to_o see_v the_o

they_o shall_v faint_v in_o their_o way_n homeward_o and_o therefore_o he_o wrought_v a_o miracle_n to_o relieve_v they_o matth._n 15.32_o so_o without_o doubt_n he_o be_v as_o tender_a to_o prevent_v

unto_o you_o 1._o wherein_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o soul_n consist_v and_o when_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o prosper_v i_o tell_v you_o then_o that_o the_o prosperity_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v both_o in_o its_o first_o rise_n and_o foundation_n or_o in_o its_o growth_n and_o progress_n as_o to_o the_o first_o rise_v of_o it_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o if_o we_o look_v upward_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o begin_v in_o god_n eternal_a elect_v love_n which_o be_v without_o beginning_n but_o if_o we_o look_v inward_o so_o as_o to_o discern_v it_o in_o ourselves_o the_o first_o foundation_n of_o it_o be_v lay_v in_o that_o day_n and_o hour_n though_o the_o very_a day_n and_o hour_n have_v i_o think_v not_o be_v discern_v by_o many_o though_o perhaps_o by_o some_o but_o however_o discern_v or_o not_o discern_v in_o that_o day_n and_o hour_n it_o begin_v when_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o whole_a man_n both_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v bring_v into_o a_o state_n of_o union_n with_o christ_n for_o then_o the_o soul_n receive_v the_o first_o seed_n of_o heavenborn_a principle_n of_o spiritual_a life_n and_o then_o begin_v to_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o prosper_v 2._o as_o the_o first_o foundation_n be_v lay_v in_o these_o principle_n so_o the_o growth_n and_o progress_n thereof_o consist_v in_o their_o increase_n as_o they_o increase_v so_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o soul_n increase_v so_o that_o if_o you_o give_v up_o yourselves_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o right_a reason_n your_o work_n for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v first_o to_o see_v that_o your_o soul_n be_v spiritual_o alive_a and_o second_o that_o they_o thrive_v and_o prosper_v in_o that_o wherein_o they_o live_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o former_a of_o they_o i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o say_v 1._o to_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o you_o that_o you_o will_v set_v some_o time_n apart_o serious_o to_o debate_v the_o matter_n between_o god_n and_o yourselves_o alone_o and_o none_o else_o with_o you_o whether_o ever_o you_o feel_v the_o day_n of_o god_n power_n upon_o your_o spirit_n to_o prevail_v so_o far_o upon_o you_o as_o 1._o to_o cast_v you_o down_o from_o the_o good_a opinion_n which_o you_o have_v of_o yourselves_o by_o a_o thorough_a conviction_n of_o the_o woeful_a mistake_n wherein_o you_o be_v about_o the_o state_n of_o your_o soul_n that_o you_o think_v they_o alive_a when_o they_o be_v as_o now_o you_o see_v dead_a in_o sin_n please_v yourselves_o with_o the_o religion_n of_o your_o education_n as_o paul_n do_v before_o his_o converson_n that_o you_o think_v you_o have_v good_a heart_n towards_o god_n whereas_o now_o you_o see_v that_o as_o psal_n 5.9_o your_o inward_a part_n be_v very_a wickedness_n that_o whereas_o you_o think_v not_o of_o any_o danger_n you_o be_v in_o of_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v now_o you_o see_v you_o be_v condemn_v by_o a_o holy_a and_o righteous_a law_n and_o that_o what_o by_o reason_n of_o your_o actual_a sin_n and_o what_o by_o reason_n of_o your_o original_a sin_n you_o utter_o despair_v of_o salvation_n in_o that_o state_n wherein_o you_o please_v yourselves_o and_o see_v clear_o that_o outward_a reformation_n will_v not_o serve_v your_o turn_n but_o you_o must_v be_v inward_o change_v into_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o be_v bear_v again_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n else_o you_o can_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n this_o be_v such_o a_o cast_v down_o as_o paul_n experience_v when_o he_o say_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v rom._n 7.9_o 2._o whether_o beside_o this_o cast_n down_o you_o have_v also_o experience_v the_o day_n of_o god_n power_n so_o far_o to_o prevail_v upon_o you_o as_o to_o raise_v up_o your_o heart_n to_o a_o willing_a and_o hearty_a acceptance_n of_o christ_n to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n to_o kill_v and_o destroy_v that_o enmity_n which_o you_o find_v in_o your_o heart_n against_o the_o way_n of_o god_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v you_o into_o a_o state_n of_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n and_o to_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o conformity_n to_o he_o and_o communion_n with_o he_o to_o impute_v unto_o you_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n for_o a_o full_a and_o free_a discharge_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o all_o your_o sin_n and_o to_o impute_v unto_o you_o his_o righteousness_n that_o you_o may_v be_v accept_v as_o righteous_a unto_o eternal_a life_n to_o mortify_v all_o your_o corruption_n to_o quicken_v your_o dead_a heart_n with_o the_o principle_n of_o spiritual_a life_n those_o principle_n of_o true_a holiness_n without_o which_o you_o know_v you_o shall_v never_o see_v god_n with_o a_o sincere_a resolution_n in_o his_o strength_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o keep_v his_o way_n that_o he_o will_v do_v all_o this_o for_o you_o and_o work_v all_o this_o in_o you_o and_o that_o you_o be_v humble_v for_o defect_n in_o live_v no_o more_o upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v all_o this_o unto_o you_o very_o so_o far_o as_o any_o person_n can_v real_o assert_v this_o that_o thus_o he_o have_v be_v cast_v down_o and_o thus_o he_o have_v be_v and_o be_v raise_v up_o though_o he_o may_v sometime_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a as_o to_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o estate_n for_o eternity_n he_o
