now_o beside_o particular_a vow_n and_o covenant_n consider_v the_o general_a vow_n we_o enter_v into_o at_o baptism_n beside_o those_o which_o we_o have_v renew_v at_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o

but_o they_o be_v deceive_v in_o that_o for_o sin_n after_o covenant_n be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v before_o ezek._n 16.32_o sin_n be_v there_o aggravate_v from_o this_o reason_n say_v the_o

that_o be_v that_o creep_v in_o thy_o denomination_n be_v from_o that_o that_o bear_v rule_v in_o thy_o heart_n for_o that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o regeneration_n sin_n be_v put_v out_o of_o

but_o it_o go_v beyond_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n as_o we_o say_v physic_n help_v where_o nature_n fail_v and_o art_n help_v where_o nature_n fall_v short_a such_o a_o thing_n be_v grace_n where_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n but_o god_n that_o do_v it_o word_n then_o do_v not_o expect_v from_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o excellency_n of_o wisdom_n or_o of_o word_n that_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o wit_n and_o eloquence_n and_o learning_n will_v this_o make_v a_o new_a creature_n no_o it_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v man_n new_a

with_o excellency_n of_o word_n for_o then_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v of_o no_o effect_n that_o be_v no_o man_n will_v be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o christ_n will_v die_v in_o vain_a therefore_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n these_o go_v together_o evidence_n of_o spirit_n and_o power_n what_o then_o be_v this_o preach_n in_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n certain_o it_o be_v never_o evident_a that_o the_o spirit_n speak_v but_o when_o you_o know_v the_o word_n speak_v therefore_o when_o any_o man_n know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n we_o preach_v there_o be_v a_o evidence_n it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o when_o the_o spiri●_n speak_v to_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v power_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o christ_n do_v so_o much_o good_a he_o teach_v with_o authority_n and_o not_o as_o the_o scribe_n what_o be_v that_o to_o come_v with_o authority_n as_o when_o a_o constable_n

there_o be_v of_o god_n so_o much_o authority_n therefore_o come_v not_o with_o affectation_n of_o excellency_n of_o word_n and_o wisdom_n if_o we_o have_v all_o the_o wit_n in_o the_o world_n to_o

choose_v a_o minister_n choose_v not_o such_o a_o one_o desire_v it_o not_o expect_v it_o not_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v be_v wise_a than_o man_n it_o will_v do_v more_o than_o all_o the_o

it_o be_v foolishness_n to_o they_o that_o be_v child_n and_o unable_a to_o discern_v again_o though_o it_o be_v but_o foolishness_n on_o the_o outside_n yet_o there_o be_v treasure_n within_o and_o god_n have_v hide_v these_o treasure_n under_o base_a outside_n that_o man_n may_v stumble_v at_o they_o as_o man_n that_o hide_v treasure_n under_o straw_n the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v save_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n therefore_o see_v it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o he_o will_v use_v his_o own_o instrument_n god_n work_v by_o it_o can_v word_n can_v all_o moral_a wit_n make_v a_o new_a creature_n no_o it_o be_v god_n then_o why_o do_v we_o make_v a_o question_n the_o more_o the_o word_n be_v discover_v and_o bring_v home_o the_o better_a it_o be_v because_o indeed_o when_o we_o preach_v any_o thing_n else_o you_o do_v but_o see_v a_o creature_n and_o you_o think_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o creature_n for_o you_o can_v answer_v wit_n with_o wit_n and_o learning_n with_o learning_n and_o when_o you_o see_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o man_n though_o never_o so_o excellent_a yet_o they_o be_v man_n but_o when_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o conscience_n now_o the_o heart_n be_v bring_v down_o when_o it_o see_v it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n that_o only_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n therefore_o expect_v not_o the_o contrary_a and_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o write_v the_o epistle_n though_o we_o be_v the_o minister_n it_o be_v therefore_o not_o without_o use_n that_o we_o preach_v this_o doctrine_n to_o you_o word_n and_o to_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v add_v this_o one_o more_o therefore_o if_o you_o find_v there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o mighty_a work_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o your_o heart_n at_o any_o time_n when_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n know_v you_o have_v hear_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o labour_n be_v lose_v if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o work_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v two_o preacher_n at_o the_o same_o time_n one_o that_o speak_v to_o the_o heart_n powerful_o that_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n that_o baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o preach_n to_o the_o ear_n and_o there_o be_v two_o hear_n one_o be_v when_o you_o can_v

make_v you_o new_a creature_n as_o a_o graft_n be_v then_o graft_v when_o it_o change_v all_o the_o stock_n therefore_o consider_v whether_o you_o do_v so_o hear_v or_o no_o that_o it_o have_v breed_v such_o a_o change_n in_o you_o and_o know_v otherwise_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o in_o vain_a for_o what_o do_v we_o do_v when_o we_o preach_v the_o word_n we_o do_v as_o gehezi_n do_v he_o come_v run_v with_o elisha_n staff_n to_o raise_v the_o child_n but_o he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o for_o though_o he_o have_v elisha_n staff_n he_o have_v not_o elisha_n spirit_n so_o we_o come_v with_o the_o

but_o the_o rig_v of_o the_o sail_n and_o what_o will_v all_o
same_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v poor_a in_o their_o spiritual_a estate_n for_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v riches_n riches_n serve_v but_o for_o this_o purpose_n to_o procure_v thing_n needful_a for_o we_o if_o we_o want_v bread_n or_o wine_n or_o house_n or_o any_o thing_n riches_n will_v procure_v they_o and_o therefore_o we_o prize_v riches_n and_o so_o likewise_o there_o be_v spiritual_a riches_n that_o will_v procure_v thing_n needful_a for_o our_o soul_n and_o if_o we_o want_v they_o we_o shall_v want_v that_o that_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o we_o shall_v want_v that_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n for_o riches_n do_v but_o set_v man_n a_o work_n to_o do_v we_o service_n riches_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o man_n can_v do_v but_o these_o spiritual_a riches_n set_v god_n a_o work_n to_o do_v we_o good_a they_o be_v beyond_o the_o other_o as_o much_o as_o the_o help_n of_o god_n go_v beyond_o the_o help_n of_o man_n when_o you_o need_v any_o thing_n if_o you_o be_v rich_a in_o christ_n if_o you_o be_v rich_a in_o grace_n if_o you_o be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n it_o be_v but_o put_v up_o your_o request_n and_o you_o shall_v have_v

between_o the_o death_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o another_o when_o a_o wicked_a man_n come_v to_o the_o time_n of_o need_n he_o have_v nothing_o to_o sustain_v he_o he_o have_v no_o oil_n leave_v

this_o my_o brethren_n you_o shall_v find_v to_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n at_o that_o time_n that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o die_v all_o the_o faithful_a prayer_n that_o you_o have_v make_v all_o

be_v not_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o be_v rich_a now_o when_o you_o be_v in_o christ_n you_o be_v rich_a out_o of_o he_o you_o be_v poor_a and_o have_v nothing_o to_o stand_v you_o in_o stead_n in_o the_o time_n of_o need_n again_o this_o a_o man_n have_v by_o riches_n that_o he_o be_v independent_a he_o need_v not_o to_o serve_v other_o and_o therefore_o you_o know_v the_o proverb_n be_v that_o
