out_o a_o soul_n with_o a_o sweet_a sonlike_a frame_n of_o spirit_n in_o all_o its_o act_n towards_o god_n take_v a_o soul_n that_o be_v dark_a in_o its_o justification_n there_o will_v not_o be_v

or_o procure_v the_o other_o but_o do_v all_o as_o to_o a_o father_n because_o god_n have_v take_v hell_n away_o and_o give_v heaven_n and_o be_v my_o father_n therefore_o i_o go_v about_o the_o

so_o with_o a_o saint_n at_o all_o time_n but_o when_o a_o soul_n behold_v its_o justification_n so_o it_o be_v 4_o this_o constant_a behold_v our_o justification_n do_v dis-inamour_a and_o wean_v the_o heart_n from_o worldly_a thing_n our_o heart_n be_v never_o so_o wean_v from_o the_o creature_n as_o when_o we_o see_v through_o justification_n our_o interest_n in_o the_o creator_n when_o the_o poor_a soul_n come_v to_o see_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v my_o father_n and_o i_o have_v a_o glorious_a inheritance_n provide_v above_o in_o heaven_n for_o i_o than_o it_o say_v why_o shall_v i_o dote_v upon_o creature_n as_o a_o prince_n son_n be_v estrange_v from_o the_o company_n of_o other_o child_n why_o i_o be_o the_o prince_n son_n they_o be_v companion_n

poor_a soul_n when_o it_o behold_v its_o justification_n be_v estrange_v from_o the_o world_n upon_o this_o consideration_n i_o be_o a_o son_n of_o god_n a_o child_n of_o god_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o heaven_n a_o glorious_a inheritance_n there_o and_o this_o wean_v the_o heart_n from_o the_o world_n the_o behold_v our_o actual_a justification_n beget_v such_o actual_a consideration_n as_o these_o 5_o it_o arm_v we_o against_o all_o satan_n temptation_n it_o put_v the_o soul_n into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o it_o can_v grapple_v with_o satan_n when_o he_o come_v to_o assault_v it_o with_o his_o fiery_a dart_n let_v the_o devil_n shoot_v never_o so_o many_o fiery_a dart_n yet_o so_o he_o have_v his_o justification_n in_o his_o eye_n it_o will_v keep_v off_o all_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o shield_n they_o use_v a_o shield_n to_o repel_v arrow_n from_o the_o party_n faith_n be_v our_o shield_n to_o repel_v the_o dart_n of_o satan_n and_o beat_v they_o back_o again_o so_o this_o be_v another_o advantage_n 3_o that_o soul_n that_o live_v by_o faith_n in_o justification_n be_v deliver_v from_o the_o great_a evil_n other_o soul_n run_v into_o of_o add_v to_o or_o detract_n from_o his_o justification_n it_o be_v a_o great_a evil_a incident_a to_o the_o saint_n they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o more_o or_o less_o justify_v according_o as_o they_o be_v more_o or_o less_o holy_a and_o their_o work_n more_o or_o less_o spiritual_a i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v after_o holiness_n and_o spirituality_n to_o the_o utmost_a but_o not_o to_o make_v our_o justification_n less_o or_o more_o as_o these_o thing_n be_v less_o or_o more_o 1_o because_o it_o put_v our_o justification_n as_o a_o stock_n into_o our_o own_o hand_n that_o by_o our_o care_n and_o diligence_n we_o may_v augment_v or_o by_o carelessness_n and_o negligence_n may_v diminish_v it_o whereas_o our_o justification_n be_v a_o stock_n the_o saint_n have_v but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o surety_n which_o though_o they_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o use_v all_o christian_a care_n and_o diligence_n yet_o by_o all_o their_o care_n and_o diligence_n there_o be_v not_o one_o dram_n add_v to_o their_o justification_n though_o they_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o all_o carelessness_n and_o remissness_n and_o avoid_v they_o yet_o though_o they_o shall_v fail_v there_o be_v not_o one_o whit_n not_o one_o dram_n take_v away_o from_o their_o justification_n by_o all_o justification_n be_v as_o the_o child_n portion_n in_o the_o executor_n hand_n the_o child_n have_v some_o spending-money_n but_o his_o portion_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o executor_n so_o be_v our_o justification_n that_o be_v a_o stock_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o executor_n the_o saint_n have_v something_o in_o themselves_o and_o they_o spend_v much_o of_o that_o but_o they_o will_v spend_v their_o justification_n too_o if_o the_o stock_n be_v in_o their_o own_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o surety_n executor_n and_o they_o can_v spend_v that_o he_o will_v not_o let_v they_o have_v that_o so_o that_o that_o can_v be_v spend_v now_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o our_o justification_n as_o that_o which_o may_v be_v add_v to_o or_o detract_v from_o we_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o surety_n but_o in_o our_o own_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n 2_o it_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n because_o it_o make_v our_o justification_n like_o our_o sanctification_n in_o part_n for_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a can_v have_v nothing_o add_v to_o it_o or_o take_v from_o it_o if_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v add_v to_o it_o than_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_a before_o perfection_n do_v neither_o admit_v of_o addition_n or_o diminution_n now_o our_o justification_n be_v perfect_a by_o one_o offering_n he_o have_v perfect_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v heb._n 10.14_o they_o the_o father_n have_v set_v apart_o he_o have_v perfect_v for_o ever_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v more_o justify_v at_o one_o time_n than_o at_o another_o than_o justification_n be_v not_o perfect_a 3_o it_o make_v justify_v grace_n to_o depend_v upon_o creature_n act_n for_o if_o i_o be_o more_o justify_v when_o i_o do_v more_o and_o less_o when_o i_o do_v less_o then_o my_o

to_o show_v the_o great_a evil_n of_o add_v to_o or_o detract_n from_o justification_n which_o how_o usual_a it_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o more_o justify_v at_o one_o time_n
