do_v consider_v what_o strength_n thou_o have_v in_o thou_o thou_o will_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o hear_v a_o cross_n thou_o will_v not_o be_v discourage_v to_o attempt_v any_o work_n for_o god_n

and_o exalt_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o conduit_n the_o intelligencer_n that_o which_o bring_v light_a and_o life_n and_o strength_n to_o our_o soul_n from_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v light_o esteem_v therefore_o we_o have_v little_a grace_n a_o low_a esteem_n of_o the_o spirit_n will_v keep_v a_o saint_n low_a all_o his_o day_n i_o think_v to_o have_v instance_a in_o a_o few_o thing_n wherein_o you_o undervalue_v the_o spirit_n one_o be_v that_o you_o do_v not_o hearken_v enough_o nor_o regard_n and_o observe_v enough_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v one_o cause_n why_o we_o be_v leave_v to_o our_o self_n and_o do_v so_o often_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o i_o know_v not_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n why_o a_o saint_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o that_o he_o do_v not_o observe_v his_o leader_n for_o i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o spirit_n say_v christ_n that_o shall_v lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n now_o if_o you_o observe_v not_o this_o leader_n this_o teacher_n it_o be_v very_o just_a that_o you_o shall_v be_v leave_v to_o wander_v and_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n if_o a_o christian_a will_v observe_v his_o way_n and_o observe_v his_o leader_n a_o christian_n may_v easy_o find_v when_o he_o be_v in_o and_o when_o he_o be_v out_o for_o true_o if_o a_o man_n will_v ask_v himself_o why_o do_v i_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o often_o since_o i_o have_v such_o a_o teacher_n promise_v i_o and_o give_v i_o by_o christ_n he_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o oftentimes_o i_o do_v not_o observe_v he_o i_o do_v not_o hearken_v to_o he_o i_o hearken_v only_o to_o man_n and_o not_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o he_o will_v easy_o find_v when_o he_o begin_v to_o give_v over_o harken_v where_o he_o leave_v the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o in_o my_o apprehension_n a_o saint_n follow_v the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o sagacity_n if_o i_o may_v compare_v it_o with_o reverence_n just_a as_o we_o see_v the_o dog_n follow_v the_o hare_n there_o be_v something_o in_o nature_n that_o the_o dog_n know_v which_o way_n the_o hare_n go_v when_o a_o wise_a creature_n know_v not_o so_o there_o be_v something_o in_o a_o poor_a saint_n that_o when_o all_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n know_v not_o which_o way_n god_n go_v a_o saint_n can_v tell_v only_o the_o dog_n may_v hunt_v upon_o a_o cold_a send_v and_o think_v the_o hare_n go_v that_o way_n and_o it_o grow_v cold_a and_o cold_a and_o he_o miss_v so_o a_o saint_n shall_v find_v when_o he_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o leave_v he_o unless_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a as_o the_o spirit_n leave_v christ_n to_o be_v tempt_v in_o the_o wilderness_n so_o he_o may_v leave_v thou_o to_o pull_v down_o thy_o pride_n and_o to_o humble_v thou_o isay_n that_o be_v rare_a but_o ordinary_o the_o spirit_n leave_v not_o thou_o but_o thou_o let_v go_v thy_o leader_n and_o thou_o go_v all_o the_o while_n on_o a_o cold_a send_v a_o saint_n though_o he_o headlong_o follow_v this_o or_o that_o conceit_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o may_v know_v when_o he_o come_v to_o look_v upon_o himself_o sure_o i_o go_v upon_o a_o cold_a send_v in_o those_o thing_n though_o i_o follow_v they_o headlong_o and_o giddy_o it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o teach_n that_o i_o have_v ordinary_o therefore_o observe_v your_o leader_n harken_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o god_n give_v you_o he_o as_o a_o master_n he_o expect_v that_o his_o child_n shall_v learn_v and_o see_v when_o you_o go_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o you_o may_v easy_o find_v that_o if_o you_o will_v avoid_v headlongness_n and_o giddiness_n and_o rashness_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o as_o if_o the_o spirit_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n as_o some_o man_n to_o advance_v the_o spirit_n set_v the_o word_n and_o spirit_n by_o the_o ear_n but_o the_o spirit_n lead_v by_o the_o word_n that_o which_o i_o chief_o intend_v to_o show_v you_o be_v thing_n the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n set_v out_o in_o four_o thing_n to_o give_v you_o a_o few_o instance_n that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o little_a light_n to_o see_v the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n work_v in_o you_o i_o shall_v not_o show_v in_o all_o respect_n nor_o in_o many_o as_o i_o may_v but_o only_o in_o a_o few_o i_o will_v instance_n in_o these_o three_o or_o four_o thing_n as_o first_o
weak_a soul_n have_v the_o testimony_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o he_o walk_v upright_o in_o his_o family_n before_o the_o lord_n but_o if_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o company_n of_o spiritual_a

god_n have_v cast_v it_o so_o that_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o therefore_o though_o i_o be_v weak_a who_o know_v but_o that_o god_n may_v make_v i_o equal_a to_o that_o glorious_a saint_n therefore_o as_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v secure_a and_o proud_a so_o i_o be_o not_o to_o be_v discourage_v four_o learn_v also_o this_o lesson_n for_o it_o be_v of_o especial_a use_n in_o these_o time_n for_o this_o be_v the_o age_n when_o old_a professor_n other_o 4._o not_o to_o judge_v other_o set_v themselves_o to_o sleep_v learn_v hence_o not_o to_o judge_n of_o christian_n old_a christian_n old_a professor_n to_o be_v hypocrite_n because_o that_o they_o have_v take_v a_o nap_n i_o may_v not_o think_v that_o that_o man_n who_o i_o have_v know_v to_o be_v the_o first_o man_n for_o religion_n of_o all_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o all_o the_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n of_o all_o the_o minister_n in_o the_o county_n because_o he_o be_v now_o the_o least_o and_o last_o of_o all_o the_o gentry_n or_o ministry_n or_o the_o like_a i_o may_v not_o a●_n the_o ordinary_a fashion_n of_o man_n be_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n in_o he_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n among_o we_o you_o have_v instance_n every_o where_o in_o this_o case_n but_o rather_o conclude_v this_o that_o many_o that_o be_v first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o god_n have_v put_v the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o after_o he_o god_n delight_v in_o variety_n of_o work_n and_o he_o have_v cast_v it_o so_o that_o ordinary_o professor_n shall_v be_v like_o the_o angel_n or_o jacobs_n ladder_n some_o up_o and_o some_o down_o the_o young_a go_v before_o the_o old_a and_o the_o old_a come_n behind_o the_o young_a and_o as_o soldier_n in_o train_v wheel_n about_o and_o go_v behind_o one_o another_o god_n in_o wisdom_n have_v do_v so_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o say_v such_o a_o magistrate_n or_o such_o a_o minister_n or_o such_o a_o gentleman_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o god_n because_o he_o be_v not_o so_o good_a as_o he_o have_v be_v he_o be_v once_o the_o best_a and_o now_o he_o be_v the_o least_o he_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o we_o must_v remember_v this_o or_o else_o we_o shall_v make_v hypocrite_n of_o all_o the_o world_n for_o there_o be_v no_o christian_a but_o have_v his_o fail_n and_o if_o we_o conclude_v so_o then_o god_n will_v have_v no_o saint_n it_o be_v a_o bless_a mean_n of_o meekn_v the_o heart_n towards_o nap_v christian_n then_o last_o let_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o equality_n and_o spiritual_a equality_n 5._o to_o preserve_v a_o correspondency_n and_o equality_n correspondency_n between_o all_o saint_n o_o that_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o that_o as_o the_o young_a shall_v not_o carry_v themselves_o unreverent_o to_o the_o elder_a so_o the_o elder_a shall_v not_o despise_v

of_o himself_o for_o a_o poor_a creature_n to_o see_v many_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o if_o we_o will_v resolve_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

i_o mean_v therefore_o learn_v this_o lesson_n to_o strive_v for_o this_o as_o the_o chief_a thing_n to_o find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o you_o dwell_v and_o work_v in_o you_o because_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v one_o great_a promise_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n and_o all_o other_o promise_v belong_v to_o that_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v but_o one_o great_a promise_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n as_o christ_n call_v it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v teach_v we_o of_o late_a year_n to_o know_v his_o son_n christ_n crucify_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n where_o our_o righteousness_n lie_v

the_o soul_n be_v as_o flat_a and_o as_o dead_a as_o water_n in_o a_o stink_a ditch_n this_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o you_o that_o have_v it_o prize_v it_o there_o be_v

of_o it_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v i_o hearken_v who_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n it_o be_v for_o ever_o if_o the_o devil_n hearken_v to_o every_o doctrine_n and_o use_n that_o he_o may_v

hence_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o watchfulness_n against_o satan_n true_o the_o devil_n satan_n to_o learn_v caution_n against_o satan_n be_v a_o gross_a fool_n in_o the_o time_n

same_o now_o as_o he_o be_v then_o to_o dishonour_n god_n and_o damn_v soul_n and_o the_o way_n general_o be_v the_o same_o to_o bring_v man_n to_o sin_n but_o for_o the_o special_a manner_n of_o it_o the_o devil_n drive_v a_o new_a trade_n nothing_o like_o as_o before_o before_o it_o be_v to_o invocate_v angel_n and_o dead_a saint_n that_o be_v gross_a now_o you_o think_v you_o be_v safe_a because_o these_o thing_n be_v go_v but_o the_o devil_n have_v get_v the_o spiritual_a knowledge_n of_o every_o lesson_n you_o hear_v and_o he_o know_v how_o to_o beat_v you_o with_o your_o own_o

the_o matter_n of_o it_o first_o i_o find_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o plain_a simple_a thing_n not_o of_o ens_fw-la and_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la and_o notion_n that_o none_o

their_o high_a and_o glorious_a light_n but_o i_o see_v the_o apostle_n preach_v christ_n they_o tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o man_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n apprehend_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o he_o be_v a_o public_a person_n and_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n and_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o

crucify_v in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n as_o compare_v 1_o cor._n 2._o with_o philip._n 3._o we_o shall_v see_v clear_o paul_n say_v he_o know_v what_o the_o world_n do_v not_o know_v that_o eye_n

it_o be_v a_o plain_a simple_a thing_n it_o 2._o the_o instrument_n divulge_v it_o so_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n choose_v simple_a people_n to_o go_v and_o preach_v it_o he_o choose_v general_o

take_v heed_n you_o sell_v it_o not_o if_o you_o do_v understand_v it_o right_o you_o will_v not_o sell_v it_o for_o ten_o thousand_o world_n that_o condition_n and_o happiness_n that_o god_n have_v call_v you_o to_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v be_v present_v to_o you_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v

for_o base_a thing_n i_o say_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o saint_n here_o that_o know_v what_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v but_o will_v say_v
