here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o your_o minister_n say_v shall_v be_v the_o standard_n to_o try_v every_o thing_n by_o that_o in_o the_o

build_v upon_o what_o be_v your_o root_n that_o bear_v you_o you_o have_v get_v a_o foolish_a builder_n he_o will_v not_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o paul_n a_o wise_a masterbuilder_n 1_o cor._n 14.15_o paul_n say_v he_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n and_o sing_v with_o the_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n eph._n 5.18_o there_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o to_o be_v fill_v

the_o four_o of_o john_n say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_n he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o such_o do_v the_o father_n seek_v to_o

preach_v pray_o or_o sing_v aright_o and_o by_o what_o you_o have_v ability_n and_o know_v what_o to_o pray_v for_o without_o the_o spirit_n help_v what_o be_v you_o so_o strong_a of_o yourselves_o in_o yourself_o ability_n that_o you_o do_v not_o need_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o true_a christian_n seek_v the_o help_n of_o and_o can_v not_o do_v without_o nay_o it_o be_v that_o by_o which_o they_o know_v what_o to_o pray_v for_o and_o therefore_o they_o wait_v for_o its_o assistance_n and_o paul_n say_v he_o will_v pray_v with_o it_o you_o may_v make_v long_a prayer_n like_o the_o pharisee_n but_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v it_o be_v do_v without_o that_o in_o which_o the_o saint_n have_v access_n to_o god._n so_o here_o your_o pray_v and_o worship_n and_o separation_n or_o gather_v be_v without_o the_o spirit_n what_o can_v it_o be_v but_o from_o self_n and_o in_o self_n and_o so_o like_o they_o speak_v of_o in_o judas_n 19_o these_o be_v they_o who_o separate_v themselves_o sensual_a not_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o we_o desire_v you_o to_o read_v the_o 8_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o consider_v what_o you_o be_v to_o walk_v after_o as_o christian_n and_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o and_o to_o live_v after_o and_o with_o what_o you_o be_v to_o mortify_v the_o flesh_n or_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n if_o you_o own_o a_o mortification_n needful_a to_o salvation_n and_o whether_o you_o can_v be_v christ_n and_o not_o have_v his_o spirit_n and_o whether_o you_o can_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o not_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o whether_o you_o be_v child_n but_o by_o adoption_n and_o if_o by_o adoption_n whether_o this_o adoption_n be_v not_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n itself_o that_o bear_v witness_n with_o the_o saint_n spirit_n that_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o verse_n the_o 16._o and_o then_o consider_v what_o

he_o and_o coll._n 3.11_o have_v speak_v of_o they_o that_o have_v put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n as_o before_z say_v where_o there_o be_v neither_o jew_n nor_o greek_a etc._n etc._n but_o christ_n be_v all_o and_o in_o all_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 1_o 30._o he_o be_v make_v of_o god_n unto_o they_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n so_o here_o be_v the_o true_a imputation_n or_o gift_n of_o god_n thus_o give_v or_o make_v they_o and_o so_o impute_v and_o so_o they_o do_v witness_v his_o power_n to_o work_v in_o they_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v ephes_n 3._o and_o 20._o and_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n you_o may_v see_v how_o he_o desire_v with_o bow_a knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v they_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o might_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o likewise_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o titus_n 3.5_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n not_o by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o here_o still_o the_o apostle_n have_v regard_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o maintain_v regeneration_n through_o the_o renewing_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o they_o be_v wash_v thereby_o and_o bear_v thereof_o to_o this_o agree_v another_o testimony_n of_o he_o 1_o cor._n 6.11_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o

you_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v sanctify_v but_o you_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o god._n and_o what_o say_v james_n barry_n be_v not_o righteousness_n here_o wrought_v in_o they_o be_v there_o none_o inherent_a when_o this_o work_n of_o sanctification_n and_o wash_v be_v wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n or_o be_v they_o save_v and_o justify_v while_o they_o be_v in_o those_o gross_a evil_n beforementioned_a if_o so_o let_v we_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v for_o the_o apostle_n say_v none_o such_o shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v phil._n 2.12_o 13._o work_v out_o your_o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o though_o they_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n pass_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n to_o those_o that_o do_v believe_v and_o so_o through_o faith_n their_o sin_n come_v to_o be_v blot_v out_o yet_o without_o this_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o work_n of_o the_o

how_o the_o christian_n witness_v the_o new_a birth_n and_o how_o the_o apostle_n labour_v for_o it_o yet_o this_o neither_o be_v by_o they_o then_o nor_o be_v by_o we_o now_o account_v man_n work_n

5.16_o say_v this_o i_o say_v then_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o fullfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n the_o saint_n be_v

that_o they_o shall_v walk_v in_o it_o who_o deny_v it_o or_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v adopt_v by_o it_o or_o seal_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v james_n barry_n in_o his_o answer_n make_v
