god_n come_v forth_o before_o we_o in_o all_o our_o object_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a enmity_n in_o our_o affection_n towards_o this_o twofold_a intent_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o come_v 1._o a_o adhesion_n to_o the_o flesh_n 2._o a_o averseness_n from_o the_o spirit_n 1st_o the_o first_o enmity_n be_v a_o adhesion_n to_o the_o life_n of_o flesh_n our_o soul_n cleave_v to_o the_o fleshpot_n our_o spirit_n be_v draw_v down_o into_o a_o land_n of_o bondage_n and_o detain_v there_o by_o the_o rank_n scent_n of_o garlic_n and_o onion_n we_o be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o travel_v through_o a_o wilderness_n though_o it_o be_v unto_o a_o land_n flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n we_o be_v like_o lot_n we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o leave_v this_o sodom_n of_o the_o flesh_n till_o we_o be_v draw_v forth_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o angel_n then_o we_o be_v still_o like_o lot_n wife_n when_o we_o be_v come_v forth_o from_o the_o city_n of_o this_o world_n cast_v a_o longing_n look_v back_o upon_o it_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o its_o flame_n but_o if_o we_o be_v like_o she_o in_o her_o fault_n let_v we_o be_v so_o too_o in_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o she_o be_v change_v into_o a_o pillar_n of_o salt_n so_o may_v we_o as_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o type_n if_o we_o bring_v forth_o a_o spirit_n of_o remorse_n and_o fire_n like_o salt_n to_o consume_v the_o fleshly_a corrupt_v part_n that_o the_o divine_a part_n may_v be_v preserve_v untainted_a to_o eternity_n 2._o the_o second_o enmity_n be_v a_o averseness_n from_o the_o spirit_n jesus_n christ_n promise_v his_o disciple_n the_o effusion_n of_o the_o spirit_n at_o the_o disappearance_n of_o his_o flesh_n he_o speak_v to_o they_o of_o divine_a power_n light_n glory_n joy_n of_o the_o high_a company_n and_o content_n which_o shall_v come_v when_o his_o spirit_n come_v yet_o the_o disciple_n be_v sad_a and_o as_o dead_a man_n still_o when_o their_o saviour_n speak_v of_o his_o death_n the_o spirit_n appear_v to_o they_o a_o miserable_a comforter_n and_o comfort_n when_o they_o be_v no_o more_o to_o have_v a_o gross_a sight_n of_o their_o jesus_n in_o flesh_n he_o be_v as_o none_o to_o they_o when_o he_o be_v to_o be_v only_o in_o the_o spirit_n when_o peter_n feel_v himself_o bear_v up_o alone_o by_o the_o work_a wave_n he_o fear_v faint_v and_o begin_v to_o sink_v though_o he_o have_v the_o call_v of_o christ_n to_o carry_v he_o on_o and_o christ_n himself_o in_o his_o eye_n to_o infuse_v spirit_n into_o he_o this_o be_v a_o example_n for_o we_o when_o we_o call_v by_o god_n begin_v to_o feel_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o seeming-firm_a land_n of_o sense_n withdraw_v from_o we_o when_o we_o be_v now_o launch_v forth_o into_o the_o sea_n of_o the_o godhead_n we_o no_o soon_o feel_v ourselves_o leave_v upon_o the_o water_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o be_v sustain_v by_o they_o but_o immediate_o we_o sink_v ourselves_o by_o our_o fear_n and_o unbelief_n let_v we_o then_o now_o weep_v that_o we_o have_v refuse_v the_o all-quickening_a spirit_n which_o be_v our_o jesus_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o life_n in_o this_o spirit_n or_o no_o light_n in_o this_o life_n as_o if_o god_n be_v a_o wilderness_n and_o the_o building_n of_o god_n have_v no_o foundation_n or_o fairness_n in_o it_o let_v we_o now_o return_v weep_v and_o say_v we_o have_v fear_v to_o commit_v our_o love_n hope_n and_o joy_n to_o thou_o o_o meek_a o_o mighty_a jesus_n but_o all_o our_o spring_n be_v in_o thou_o those_o that_o feed_v our_o outward_a sense_n our_o inward_a faculty_n with_o stream_n of_o life_n truth_n strength_n and_o pleasure_n thou_o be_v our_o only_a husband_n the_o image_n of_o all_o love_n and_o loveliness_n to_o we_o the_o best_a image_n of_o ourselves_o come_v thou_o down_o upon_o we_o appear_v in_o thy_o invisible_a glory_n and_o make_v our_o soul_n ere_o they_o be_v aware_a like_o the_o chariot_n of_o aminadab_n thus_o i_o have_v conclude_v the_o first_o use_n for_o humiliation_n use_v for_o caution_n take_v heed_n of_o make_v any_o opposition_n against_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n i_o shall_v begin_v this_o use_n with_o a_o humble_a profession_n that_o my_o desire_n be_v to_o have_v every_o thing_n which_o i_o speak_v understand_v as_o proceed_v from_o he_o who_o will_v fain_o speak_v and_o live_v in_o a_o

the_o spirit_n to_o any_o height_n or_o constancy_n i_o do_v therefore_o only_o present_a what_o pass_v from_o i_o submit_v all_o ever_o to_o any_o bright_a light_n in_o whatsoever_o candlestiks_n it_o shine_v my_o care_n shall_v be_v especial_o in_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o use_n while_o i_o be_o in_o this_o twilight_n to_o avoid_v particular_a conclusion_n and_o peremptory_a
