some_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n 2.20_o vain_a or_o empty_a man_n that_o be_v man_n void_a of_o grace_n and_o the_o apostle_n suggest_v in_o the_o very_a word_n

or_o else_o their_o profession_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a and_o these_o also_o that_o he_o despair_v of_o in_o the_o next_o word_n say_v but_o but_o in_o this_o great_a house_n of_o god_n there_o will_v not_o only_o be_v golden_a and_o silver_n christian_n but_o wooden_a and_o earthly_a one_o and_o if_o any_o man_n purge_v himself_o from_o these_o from_o these_o man_n company_n and_o from_o these_o man_n vice_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o vessel_n to_o honour_v sanctify_v and_o meet_v for_o the_o master_n use_n and_o prepare_v to_o every_o good_a work_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o name_n the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o way_n of_o profession_n that_o have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o grace_n in_o they_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n for_o first_o these_o want_n that_o principle_n that_o holy_a and_o bless_a principle_n that_o shall_v induce_v they_o thereunto_o to_o wit_n the_o great_a and_o principal_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o be_v four_o first_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o want_v faith_n that_o heart_n purify_n grace_n for_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n 15.9_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o that_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n must_v be_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o affection_n or_o with_o the_o heart_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v where_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o sanctify_v and_o make_v holy_a for_o a_o unsanctified_a mind_n can_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n no_o more_o than_o the_o ethiopian_a can_v change_v his_o skin_n 13.23_o but_o nothing_o can_v purify_v the_o heart_n but_o faith_n therefore_o nothing_o can_v make_v a_o professor_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n where_o faith_n be_v want_v so_o then_o when_o man_n profess_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n without_o have_v holy_a faith_n in_o he_o they_o still_o abide_v by_o their_o iniquity_n they_o depart_v not_o from_o their_o iniquity_n but_o rather_o make_v of_o their_o profession_n a_o cloak_n for_o their_o iniquity_n for_o their_o malice_n 2.16_o and_o for_o their_o covetousness_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v not_o profession_n but_o faith_n that_o bring_v god_n and_o the_o soul_n together_o and_o as_o long_o as_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v at_o distance_n what_o ever_o profession_n be_v make_v there_o be_v not_o a_o depart_a not_o a_o heart_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n wherefore_o to_o these_o professor_n james_n write_v thus_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v draw_v nigh_o to_o you_o 4.8_o cleanse_v your_o hand_n you_o sinner_n and_o purify_v your_o heart_n you_o double_v mind_v man_n far_o from_o god_n can_v think_v reverent_o of_o he_o nor_o so_o speak_v and_o profess_v he_o as_o stand_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o gospel_n religion_n wherefore_o god_n say_v draw_v near_o hither_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o again_o 40.1_o let_v they_o come_v near_o then_o let_v they_o speak_v then_o let_v they_o profess_v 11.6_o without_o faith_n a_o man_n can_v please_v god_n because_o he_o can_v without_o it_o stand_v before_o he_o in_o the_o spotless_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n nor_o yet_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n and_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o faith_n that_o direct_o tend_v to_o make_v a_o man_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n 1._o it_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o be_v and_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o aw_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n 2._o it_o apprehend_v the_o love_n of_o this_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o conquer_v and_o overcome_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n 3._o it_o apprehend_v the_o sweetness_n and_o blessedness_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o thence_o persuade_v the_o soul_n to_o desire_v here_o communion_n with_o he_o that_o it_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o when_o this_o world_n be_v end_v that_o it_o may_v be_v happy_a in_o and_o by_o he_o for_o ever_o but_o without_o faith_n these_o thing_n can_v be_v apprehend_v and_o therefore_o those_o that_o want_v it_o whatever_o their_o profession_n be_v they_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n second_o repentance_n be_v another_o of_o the_o great_a and_o principal_a grace_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o the_o heart_n wherefore_o without_o this_o also_o there_o can_v be_v no_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o expect_v it_o of_o any_o man_n let_v his_o profession_n be_v never_o so_o stately_a and_o great_a if_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o find_v repentance_n how_o many_o be_v
