common_o see_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o man_n when_o he_o please_v to_o be_v vain_a and_o ungrateful_a may_v impute_v all_o event_n to_o his_o own_o power_n and_o application_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n leave_v this_o obscurity_n upon_o his_o dispensation_n on_o purpose_n to_o administer_v a_o advantage_n and_o commendation_n to_o our_o faith_n not_o a_o opportunity_n or_o argument_n to_o our_o doubt_v but_o yet_o if_o we_o will_v doubt_v the_o case_n be_v plain_a that_o we_o may_v as_o well_o doubt_v of_o any_o act_n of_o his_o ordinary_a providence_n as_o of_o his_o sanctify_a grace_n and_o so_o by_o this_o method_n of_o reason_v god_n will_v have_v no_o share_n leave_v he_o in_o the_o managment_n of_o the_o world_n we_o allow_v again_o that_o there_o be_v another_o obscurity_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o this_o dispensation_n we_o know_v not_o the_o philosophy_n of_o sanctify_a grace_n not_o unto_o what_o class_n of_o being_n to_o reduce_v it_o nor_o under_o what_o modes_n to_o conceive_v its_o operation_n and_o this_o be_v a_o speculation_n that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o argue_v we_o ignorant_a of_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v of_o the_o issue_n and_o retreat_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o yet_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v we_o so_o whether_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v too_o excellent_a for_o we_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v too_o useless_a as_o no_o way_n conduce_v to_o the_o end_n of_o practical_a wisdom_n for_o we_o may_v observe_v of_o our_o saviour_n that_o in_o all_o his_o discourse_n he_o never_o entertain_v his_o auditory_a with_o any_o doctrine_n that_o be_v pure_o speculative_a because_o such_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v we_o more_o vain_a than_o wise_a have_v he_o lead_v our_o understanding_n through_o the_o whole_a theory_n of_o grace_n we_o can_v not_o have_v accommodate_v it_o better_o to_o our_o use_n than_o a_o honest_a heart_n now_o can_v without_o any_o far_a insight_n no_o more_o than_o if_o he_o have_v stoop_v to_o teach_v we_o the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o wind_n any_o mariner_n can_v have_v gather_v it_o more_o commodious_o into_o his_o sheet_n it_o be_v not_o then_o our_o emulation_n to_o determine_v how_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n be_v do_v our_o only_a care_n be_v that_o it_o be_v do_v we_o pretend_v not_o to_o declare_v but_o thankful_o to_o admire_v by_o what_o ray_n the_o divine_a grace_n open_v and_o shine_v in_o upon_o our_o understanding_n clear_v it_o from_o worldly_a prejudices_fw-la and_o the_o imposture_n of_o flesh_n and_o render_v it_o teachable_a considerative_a and_o firm_a by_o what_o motion_n it_o inspire_v good_a thought_n excite_v good_a purpose_n and_o suggest_v wholesome_a counsel_n and_o expedient_n by_o what_o welcome_a violence_n it_o draw_v our_o will_n steer_v our_o appetite_n and_o check_v our_o passion_n by_o what_o heat_v it_o kindle_v love_n and_o resolution_n and_o cheerfulness_n of_o endeavour_n by_o what_o discipline_n it_o extinguish_v sinful_a imagination_n and_o loose_a desire_n by_o what_o power_n it_o awe_v the_o devil_n and_o foil_n temptation_n and_o remove_v impediment_n and_o strengthen_v and_o exhilarate_v amid_o all_o difficulty_n and_o final_o by_o what_o patient_a art_n it_o turn_v mould_n and_o transform_v our_o stubborn_a nature_n into_o new_a notion_n new_a savour_n new_a power_n new_a act_n new_a aim_n new_a joy_n as_o if_o we_o be_v entire_o new_a creature_n and_o descend_v from_o another_o race_n all_o these_o effect_n do_v as_o well_o by_o their_o wonder_n as_o their_o

all_o the_o esfect_n of_o god_n grace_n we_o know_v because_o he_o have_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v so_o that_o they_o be_v so_o we_o know_v because_o many_o of_o they_o be_v wrought_v beside_o our_o

of_o these_o gift_n god_n give_v such_o kind_n and_o measure_v to_o every_o man_n as_o he_o have_v need_n of_o to_o every_o private_a person_n so_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o private_a

of_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v the_o only_a scope_n of_o all_o his_o distribution_n we_o may_v take_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o whole_a from_o our_o bishop_n in_o the_o text_n he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o endow_v with_o grace_n sufficient_a for_o a_o private_a salvation_n before_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n as_o the_o forego_n verse_n imply_v but_o be_v now_o by_o that_o sacramental_a rite_n to_o enter_v upon_o a_o new_a station_n of_o life_n where_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o divine_a assistance_n be_v but_o necessary_a for_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o duty_n god_n confer_v great_a measure_n of_o his_o grace_n upon_o he_o through_o the_o same_o rite_n god_n confer_v i_o say_v both_o grace_n and_o duty_n through_o the_o same_o rite_n to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v two_o thing_n moral_o inseparable_a for_o he_o that_o do_v more_o duty_n shall_v have_v more_o grace_n and_o he_o that_o receive_v more_o grace_n receive_v a_o obligation_n to_o do_v more_o duty_n but_o here_o it_o be_v of_o importance_n to_o observe_v the_o restriction_n of_o the_o proposition_n i_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a duty_n to_o which_o god_n apportion_v the_o measure_n of_o his_o

we_o may_v conceive_v his_o soul_n be_v at_o that_o time_n touch_v with_o some_o supernatural_a motion_n that_o carry_v it_o forth_o in_o a_o strong_a ardour_n after_o these_o episcopal_a grace_n

may_v hear_v be_v mean_v no_o other_o than_o religious_a fortitude_n and_o courage_n to_o do_v our_o duty_n the_o first_o requisite_a of_o a_o good_a governor_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o hardly_o

our_o apostle-here_a oppose_v it_o to_o fear_n or_o pusillanimity_n that_o most_o treacherous_a of_o all_o vice_n entangle_v man_n into_o such_o necessity_n of_o sin_v that_o the_o fearful_a be_v therefore_o set_v by_o st._n john_n in_o the_o head_n of_o all_o those_o who_o have_v their_o part_n in_o the_o fiery_a lake_n 8._o and_o now_o if_o timothy_n will_v stir_v up_o this_o spirit_n of_o courage_n he_o must_v in_o the_o first_o place_n bethink_v himself_o well_o of_o his_o undertake_n he_o must_v imagine_v himself_o a_o champion_n of_o war_n enter_v into_o the_o list_n as_o david_n heretofore_o into_o the_o valley_n of_o elah_n where_o he_o must_v either_o conquer_v or_o die_v not_o a_o single_a man_n but_o a_o army_n both_o the_o israelite_n and_o philistine_n survey_v he_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n with_o different_a hope_n and_o censure_n whereof_o the_o most_o as_o envy_n will_v always_o have_v it_o be_v against_o he_o some_o blame_v his_o youth_n some_o his_o confidence_n some_o his_o want_n of_o arm_n and_o some_o like_a goliath_n curse_v he_o by_o their_o god_n but_o as_o these_o casual_a form_n of_o popular_a breath_n can_v in_o themselves_o affect_v his_o success_n so_o neither_o must_v he_o suffer_v they_o to_o affect_v his_o thought_n he_o must_v wise_o keep_v they_o beneath_o his_o concern_n while_o he_o compose_v his_o behaviour_n to_o the_o approbation_n of_o god_n and_o rest_v in_o his_o providence_n who_o he_o consider_v with_o awful_a joy_n not_o to_o be_v a_o bare_a spectator_n of_o what_o he_o do_v but_o a_o helper_n and_o

and_o impartial_o without_o any_o gloze_a or_o fear_n of_o the_o great_a without_o any_o unthankful_a indulgence_n to_o benefactor_n or_o friend_n he_o must_v awe_v it_o out_o of_o countenance_n and_o beat_v it_o off_o the_o stage_n with_o his_o look_n intimation_n discourse_n interest_n monition_n and_o rebuke_n and_o if_o it_o bear_v up_o head_n against_o all_o these_o he_o must_v then_o separate_v the_o leper_n from_o the_o camp_n and_o turn_v the_o sacred_a key_n against_o the_o refractory_a sinner_n and_o he_o that_o on_o this_o manner_n be_v strong_a god_n shall_v strengthen_v his_o heart_n 27.14_o as_o the_o psalmist_n have_v express_v the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o point_n 8._o but_o the_o philosopher_n in_o his_o ethic_n treat_v of_o courage_n have_v observe_v that_o anger_n though_o it_o be_v very_o like_a courage_n and_o incite_v man_n to_o vigour_n in_o undertake_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o pure_a depravation_n of_o courage_n and_o make_v it_o lose_v both_o its_o

at_o the_o head_n of_o such_o a_o censure_n it_o can_v but_o make_v the_o correction_n sink_v deep_a into_o the_o conscience_n and_o make_v man_n believe_v it_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o delivery_n unto_o satan_n and_o if_o timothy_n will_v stir_v up_o this_o divine_a gift_n of_o love_n he_o must_v daily_o contemplate_v the_o value_n of_o all_o those_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v he_o must_v
