that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o strong_a consolation_n some_o general_a certainty_n of_o our_o assent_n be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o special_a and_o particular_a certainty_n of_o assent_n whereby_o to_o wit_n i_o be_o certain_a that_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v be_v true_a of_o i_o for_o what_o consolation_n at_o all_o much_o less_o a_o strong_a consolation_n can_v that_o be_v when_o as_o i_o be_o certain_a that_o the_o promise_n concern_v christ_n do_v belong_v only_o in_o general_a to_o the_o church_n and_o not_o to_o myself_o also_o in_o particular_a nay_o rather_o in_o that_o very_a thing_n be_v the_o grief_n increase_v when_o one_o see_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n pertain_v to_o other_o but_o not_o to_o himself_o at_o all_o but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o which_o we_o speak_v of_o touch_v certainty_n and_o uncertainty_n may_v be_v the_o more_o manifest_a we_o must_v search_v into_o this_o point_n a_o little_a more_o deep_o in_o

of_o the_o assent_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o see_v the_o assent_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v twofold_a either_o general_a when_o i_o general_o assent_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o some_o sentence_n that_o it_o

what_o the_o controversy_n be_v concern_v a_o particular_a faith_n the_o question_n be_v not_o concern_v general_a certainty_n but_o all_o the_o controversy_n be_v of_o the_o special_a certainty_n of_o a_o special_a assent_n which_o they_o call_v the_o certainty_n of_o grace_n or_o of_o special_a mercy_n for_o we_o do_v affirm_v and_o defend_v the_o certainty_n of_o special_a grace_n but_o they_o oppugn_v this_o same_o certainty_n of_o special_a grace_n but_o i_o pray_v with_o what_o argument_n first_o they_o say_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n no_o mercy_n be_v any_o where_o offer_v &_o promise_v to_o any_o particular_a or_o any_o one_o man_n therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o certainty_n of_o special_a grace_n i_o answer_v and_o do_v invert_v the_o argument_n in_o the_o gospel_n grace_n be_v promise_v and_o offer_v not_o only_o in_o general_a to_o all_o but_o in_o special_a to_o every_o one_o as_o we_o have_v teach_v before_o wherefore_o the_o certainty_n of_o a_o special_a

that_o the_o whole_a matter_n may_v more_o clear_o appear_v and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o sense_n and_o experience_n itself_o that_o grace_n be_v offer_v to_o every_o one_o by_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n only_o be_v christ_n vicar_n on_o earth_n who_o teach_v and_o instruct_v we_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o christ_n speak_v and_o earth_n the_o spirit_n of_o
