a_o reprobate_n may_v make_v a_o glorious_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o perform_v all_o duty_n and_o exercise_n of_o religion_n 111._o and_o that_o in_o outward_a appearance_n with_o as_o

there_o be_v no_o grace_n effectual_o wrought_v in_o the_o faithful_a a_o resemblance_n whereof_o may_v not_o be_v find_v in_o the_o unregenerate_a and_o therefore_o i_o say_v if_o any_o man_n pitch_n upon_o the_o sign_n without_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sign_n that_o be_v if_o he_o pitch_v upon_o his_o grace_n or_o gift_n rather_o and_o duty_n and_o conclude_v assurance_n from_o they_o as_o they_o be_v in_o he_o and_o come_v from_o he_o without_o have_v reference_n to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o root_n and_o fountain_n of_o they_o then_o be_v they_o deceitful_a mark_n and_o sign_n but_o if_o he_o look_v upon_o they_o with_o reference_n to_o jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v they_o not_o deceitful_a but_o true_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o this_o a_o man_n do_v when_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o outward_a action_n as_o flow_v from_o the_o inward_a action_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o upon_o the_o inward_a action_n of_o his_o mind_n as_o flow_v from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n within_o he_o and_o upon_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n within_o he_o as_o flow_v from_o his_o justification_n and_o upon_o his_o justification_n as_o flow_v from_o his_o faith_n and_o upon_o his_o faith_n as_o give_v by_o and_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n thus_o i_o say_v if_o he_o rest_v not_o till_o he_o come_v to_o christ_n his_o mark_n and_o sign_n be_v not_o

hard_a matter_n to_o find_v out_o the_o difference_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v best_o for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o trouble_v himself_o at_o all_o about_o mark_n and_o sign_n evan._n give_v i_o leave_v to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o in_o tell_v you_o that_o although_o we_o can_v say_v every_o one_o that_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n have_v also_o the_o power_n of_o

what_o be_v require_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o to_o avoid_v what_o be_v there_o forbid_a it_o be_v a_o very_a evil_a sign_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o consider_v of_o it_o ant._n
