therefore_o no_o papist_n have_v indeed_o the_o difference_n between_o my_o proposition_n and_o he_o stand_v only_o in_o one_o word_n he_o disable_v the_o minister_n in_o particular_a i_o every_o

but_o by_o the_o report_n of_o man_n so_o that_o it_o may_v more_o true_o be_v say_v of_o the_o papist_n then_o of_o the_o protestant_n that_o they_o build_v their_o faith_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o

which_o persuade_v he_o of_o the_o general_a truth_n contain_v in_o the_o translation_n and_o direct_v he_o to_o and_o in_o the_o trial_n of_o particular_n if_o to_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o

less_o revelation_n than_o the_o belief_n of_o protestant_n for_o according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n no_o man_n be_v persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n either_o for_o the_o text_n or_o the_o interpretation_n but_o by_o the_o especial_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n use_v as_o they_o say_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o church_n authority_n to_o beget_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n only_o we_o say_v the_o spirit_n use_v not_o the_o authority_n but_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n to_o persuade_v withal_o they_o affirm_v that_o man_n believe_v because_o of_o the_o church_n authority_n the_o spirit_n direct_v and_o incline_v they_o to_o rest_v thereupon_o our_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o minister_n rely_v on_o his_o doctrine_n they_o
for_o give_v they_o they_o shall_v indeed_o be_v so_o assure_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o labour_n e._n e._n for_o such_o assurance_n but_o not_o one_o of_o many_o thousand_o attain_v to_o that_o plerophorie_n or_o full_a persuasion_n and_o yet_o every_o one_o as_o i_o say_v before_o have_v his_o proportion_n fit_v out_o for_o he_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o trial_n which_o god_n in_o his_o fatherly_a wisdom_n will_v by_o any_o mean_n make_v of_o he_o so_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v final_o or_o whole_o swallow_v up_o of_o despair_v and_o this_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o that_o justify_n faith_n by_o which_o we_o lay_v hold_v on_o and_o apply_v unto_o ourselves_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n which_o every_o true_a christian_a man_n feel_v in_o himself_o in_o part_n while_o he_o live_v in_o this_o vale_n of_o misery_n and_o whole_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o departure_n henco_n the_o spirit_n take_v from_o he_o all_o conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o fill_v his_o soul_n with_o the_o undoubted_a feel_n of_o that_o joy_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o he_o in_o jesus_n christ_n other_o assurance_n than_o this_o or_o in_o other_o manner_n we_o teach_v not_o and_o namely_o not_o this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v as_o a_o true_a christian_a who_o make_v any_o doubt_n upon_o any_o occasion_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o any_o sin_n now_o for_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o article_n he_o geather_n of_o the_o f._n f._n former_a point_n that_o no_o protestant_n can_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n because_o therein_o he_o must_v ask_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n whereas_o he_o believe_v already_o that_o all_o be_v forgive_v the_o reason_n stand_v thus_o he_o that_o can_v without_o note_n of_o infidelity_n ask_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n can_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n what_o this_o note_n of_o infidelity_n mean_n we_o shall_v more_o fit_o examine_v in_o the_o assumption_n if_o by_o a_o safe_a conscience_n he_o mean_v a_o conscience_n free_a from_o sin_n even_o in_o the_o very_a action_n of_o prayer_n we_o grant_v his_o conclusion_n because_o as_o it_o shall_v appear_v in_o the_o next_o article_n no_o man_n perform_v any_o duty_n in_o this_o life_n unto_o god_n but_o it_o be_v stain_v with_o some_o spot_n of_o his_o natural_a corruption_n but_o if_o by_o a_o safe_a conscience_n he_o understand_v a_o conscience_n without_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o pray_v as_o i_o be_o persuade_v he_o do_v i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n of_o his_o proposition_n for_o though_o a_o man_n can_v crave_v pardon_n of_o sin_n with_o a_o full_a assurance_n the_o want_n whereof_o this_o papist_n seem_v to_o call_v a_o note_n of_o infidelity_n yet_o he_o may_v make_v that_o petition_n with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n that_o be_v without_o any_o just_a check_n of_o conscience_n for_o pray_v so_o but_o no_o protestant_n can_v without_o note_n of_o infidelity_n ask_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n that_o weak_a faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v count_v infidelity_n i_o take_v it_o no_o christian_a doubt_n at_o all_o and_o as_o little_a that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o note_n of_o infidelity_n to_o beg_v pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o assurance_n whereof_o though_o we_o shall_v have_v yet_o we_o have_v it_o but_o in_o part_n therefore_o this_o assumption_n be_v void_a of_o truth_n as_o the_o whole_a discourse_n of_o this_o article_n have_v prove_v for_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o by_o note_n of_o infidelity_n he_o mean_v as_o before_o want_v of_o faith_n in_o not_o believe_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v or_o in_o demand_v that_o of_o god_n which_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v assure_v he_o have_v already_o perform_v all_o which_o be_v answer_v before_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o that_o i_o short_o declare_v what_o we_o hold_v and_o teach_v concern_v pray_v for_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n first_o we_o believe_v and_o teach_v that_o all_o our_o sin_n original_a and_o actual_a before_o and_o after_o baptism_n both_o guilt_n and_o punishment_n temporal_a and_o eternal_a be_v wash_v away_o by_o the_o blood_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n second_o that_o this_o pardon_n be_v make_v effectual_a to_o we_o by_o faith_n whereby_o we_o cast_v ourselves_o upon_o christ_n to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o three_o that_o the_o assurance_n which_o follow_v upon_o believe_v be_v wrought_v in_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o measure_n and_o be_v in_o no_o man_n ordinary_o so_o perfect_a but_o that_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o some_o doubt_v more_o or_o less_o how_o pray_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n may_v stand_v with_o this_o faith_n though_o i_o have_v show_v sufficient_o already_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o declare_v it_o more_o full_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o accusation_n we_o believe_v in_o some_o measure_n that_o god_n have_v forgive_v all_o our_o sin_n in_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n but_o because_o our_o faith_n be_v weak_a we_o continual_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n or_o rather_o for_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o pardon_n to_o be_v increase_v neither_o yet_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o then_o prayer_n for_o forgiveness_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o a_o weak_a faith_n because_o though_o our_o faith_n be_v strong_a yet_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o own_o wretchedness_n the_o just_a desert_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n due_a unto_o we_o will_v wring_v out_o such_o entreaty_n from_o we_o as_o we_o see_v the_o extremity_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v in_o upon_o the_o cross_n make_v he_o cry_v out_o so_o main_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o albeit_o he_o be_v full_o assure_v that_o god_n neither_o have_v nor_o will_v utter_o forsake_v he_o ad_fw-la hereunto_o that_o we_o do_v indeed_o proper_o demand_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n because_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v actual_a pardon_n from_o god_n continual_o both_o for_o our_o original_a corruption_n which_o always_o in_o this_o life_n abide_v with_o we_o and_o for_o actual_a sin_n which_o we_o daily_o and_o hourly_o commit_v against_o the_o majesty_n of_o almighty_a god_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v infer_v hereupon_o that_o therefore_o the_o person_n sue_v be_v guilty_a of_o damnation_n till_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v which_o must_v ensue_v upon_o his_o prayer_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n it_o be_v pardon_v as_o soon_o as_o commit_v because_o he_o that_o once_o believe_v be_v thereby_o make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n and_o so_o have_v all_o his_o sin_n satisfy_v for_o by_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o head_n christ_n but_o to_o he_o that_o be_v in_o his_o feel_n it_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o forgive_v namely_o till_o by_o repentance_n he_o have_v crave_v mercy_n of_o god_n for_o it_o but_o indeed_o the_o chief_a reason_n and_o end_n of_o our_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n be_v that_o we_o may_v always_o acknowledge_v that_o every_o sin_n commit_v by_o we_o deserve_v everlasting_a damnaton_n of_o itself_o and_o shall_v everlasting_o be_v punish_v if_o that_o god_n have_v not_o accept_v our_o saviour_n christ_n satisfaction_n for_o we_o by_o which_o though_o we_o be_v free_v if_o we_o rest_v on_o he_o by_o faith_n yet_o both_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n according_a to_o god_n commandment_n to_o sue_v for_o pardon_n for_o his_o sake_n &_o in_o truth_n if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n our_o head_n have_v pay_v the_o price_n of_o our_o ransom_n yet_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o we_o every_o day_n deserve_v condemnation_n &_o must_v entreat_v god_n for_o pardon_n that_o so_o we_o may_v come_v to_o that_o assurance_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v enjoin_v we_o to_o labour_n and_o seek_v for_o the_o some_o of_o all_o be_v this_o that_o we_o pray_v for_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n 1._o because_o christ_n have_v teach_v and_o command_v we_o so_o to_o pray_v 2._o because_o by_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v deserve_v eternal_a damnation_n 3._o because_o we_o must_v daily_o renew_v our_o repentance_n as_o we_o commit_v new_a sin_n every_o day_n 4._o because_o we_o have_v not_o absolute_a assurance_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n thereof_o some_o perhaps_o will_v rather_o answer_v that_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n at_o all_o but_o so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v member_n of_o christ_n body_n which_o be_v no_o long_o say_v they_o than_o we_o refrain_v from_o great_a sin_n for_o by_o every_o such_o sin_n they_o say_v we_o be_v cut_v of_o from_o christ_n and_o
