crumb_n of_o comfort_n or_o grace._n in_o its_o various_a degree_n and_o yet_o oneness_n in_o kind_a mat._n 14.27_o by_o mr._n william_n guthrie_n the_o doctrine_n be_v thus_o although_o there_o be_v gradual_a difference_n in_o many_o thing_n in_o god_n house_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o essential_a difference_n among_o these_o thing_n this_o no_o man_n do_v acknowledge_v there_o be_v a_o feast_n at_o the_o table_n that_o people_n may_v partake_v of_o and_o there_o be_v crumb_n that_o be_v not_o essential_o different_a from_o these_o great_a loaf_n there_o be_v some_o that_o sit_v at_o his_o elbow_n at_o the_o table_n and_o there_o be_v other_o that_o be_v but_o dog_n in_o their_o esteem_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o true_a interest_n but_o creep_v in_o among_o the_o bearn_v and_o eat_v the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o the_o table_n yet_o that_o be_v essential_a bread_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a loaf_n 1._o what_o be_v those_o thing_n of_o god_n wherein_o there_o be_v such_o gradual_a difference_n and_o wherein_o do_v it_o appear_v 2._o we_o shall_v show_v though_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o essential_a difference_n 3._o why_o the_o lord_n have_v resolve_v to_o keep_v such_o a_o difference_n have_v it_o not_o be_v much_o matter_n if_o his_o servant_n have_v be_v all_o one_o of_o the_o same_o size_n the_o first_o thing_n wherein_o this_o appear_v there_o be_v a_o difference_n among_o the_o people_n transgression_n so_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n among_o they_o in_o the_o law-work_n which_o prepare_v christ_n work_n throughout_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v such_o conviction_n as_o they_o can_v scarce_o say_v that_o they_o have_v the_o impression_n of_o they_o upon_o their_o heart_n and_o there_o be_v some_o other_o who_o be_v keep_v many_o day_n under_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o so_o weighty_a upon_o they_o as_o they_o be_v go_v to_o hang_v themselves_o or_o stab_v themselves_o yea_o some_o put_v stone-blind_a with_o the_o terror_n of_o conscience_n it_o have_v be_v the_o mercy_n of_o some_o that_o they_o have_v not_o be_v put_v upon_o that_o extremity_n then_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o the_o lord_n out-giving_a of_o saving-grace_n yet_o keep_v that_o rule_n as_o they_o take_v up_o god_n to_o be_v god_n and_o sin_n to_o be_v sin_n yet_o o_o how_o far_o be_v they_o from_o that_o sagacity_n of_o grace_n and_o wisdom_n that_o other_o partake_v of_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v to_o some_o to_o look_v to_o christ_n and_o they_o dare_v do_v no_o more_o but_o he_o give_v to_o other_o to_o receive_v he_o in_o open_a arm_n and_o he_o make_v out_o all_o his_o receipt_n with_o a_o different_a proportion_n yet_o no_o ground_n of_o quarrel_v and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o grace_n some_o dare_v not_o venture_v upon_o suffering_n as_o other_o and_o some_o get_v strength_n in_o the_o temptation_n to_o stand_v 3._o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n in_o the_o manfestation_n of_o his_o special_a communication_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o face_n the_o blink_v of_o god_n face_n there_o be_v some_o get_v but_o such_o a_o taste_n as_o scarce_o do_v they_o think_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o other_o have_v get_v wine_n and_o apple_n and_o so_o there_o be_v some_o call_v babe_n other_o young_a man_n for_o strength_n other_o father_n for_o experience_n then_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n in_o promise_n make_v to_o all_o these_o forementioned_a size_n which_o agree_v to_o the_o person_n as_o a_o instance_n to_o they_o that_o hunger_n and_o so_o be_v different_o mould_v according_a to_o the_o parity_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o essential_a difference_n among_o they_o consider_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o thing_n themselves_o that_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o to_o partake_v in_o the_o mean_a size_n there_o be_v no_o essential_a difference_n from_o those_o who_o partake_v in_o the_o least_o or_o great_a size_n first_o in_o the_o law-work_n which_o make_v way_n throughout_o the_o soul_n of_o people_n for_o christ_n some_o have_v get_v but_o little_a of_o that_o work_n yet_o such_o have_v walk_v afterward_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o say_v but_o that_o they_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o they_o that_o have_v have_v much_o of_o it_o for_o in_o both_o cause_n there_o have_v be_v a_o belief_n of_o the_o curse_n and_o propriation_n of_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n to_o themselves_o for_o sin_n then_o the_o party_n from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o its_o misery_n be_v past_a hope_n of_o all_o relief_n from_o its_o self_n and_o such_o a_o self-discovery_n as_o empty_v itself_o as_o full_a room_n have_v be_v for_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v the_o like_a precious_a faith_n but_o the_o like_a strong_a so_o both_o kind_n of_o person_n there_o be_v a_o impropriation_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o heart_n join_v with_o it_o for_o therein_o stand_v the_o true_a essence_n of_o faith_n when_o the_o creator_n apply_v christ_n in_o the_o promise_n to_o its_o cause_n although_o it_o know_v not_o if_o it_o come_v speed_n if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o do_v we_o carp_v that_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o faith_n as_o other_o we_o have_v the_o essential_o of_o grace_n in_o like_a manner_n there_o be_v no_o essential_a difference_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o love_n for_o first_o be_v there_o not_o that_o operate_a love_n to_o put_v he_o above_o all_o the_o creature_n with_o a_o invincible_a respect_n to_o he_o that_o all_o the_o water_n can_v quench_v he_o keep_v still_o in_o both_o cause_n a_o regard_n of_o his_o command_n upon_o the_o heart_n upon_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v terminate_v the_o love_n of_o god_n though_o you_o have_v not_o that_o overcome_a obedience_n to_o the_o command_v of_o god_n then_o next_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o patience_n there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n though_o no_o essential_a and_o i_o know_v this_o trouble_n much_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o they_o can_v be_v so_o far_o different_a from_o other_o in_o submission_n yet_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n yet_o i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o mean_a degree_n of_o patience_n that_o they_o have_v give_v way_n to_o christ_n throughout_o their_o soul_n and_o that_o they_o have_v respect_n to_o his_o command_n for_o that_o must_v take_v up_o the_o party_n for_o their_o patience_n will_v not_o do_v if_o that_o be_v not_o if_o you_o grant_v that_o than_o you_o must_v grant_v this_o also_o that_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v in_o they_o in_o habit_n so_o here_o be_v a_o self-judging_a and_o cordial_a justify_v of_o god_n and_o deliberate_o submit_v to_o he_o in_o their_o cold_a blood_n and_o when_o their_o heart_n will_v not_o submit_v they_o appeal_v to_o god_n for_o it_o then_o hereby_o you_o may_v apprehend_v that_o there_o be_v no_o essential_a difference_n among_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n because_o the_o promise_n be_v equal_o cast_v out_o to_o all_o degree_n so_o promise_n be_v make_v as_o well_o to_o he_o that_o look_v as_o to_o he_o that_o eat_v this_o will_v hold_v it_o out_o that_o there_o be_v as_o good_a account_n of_o the_o mean_a degree_n of_o gracious_a receipt_n and_o of_o the_o mean_a size_n in_o difficult_a case_n and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o suffering_n and_o testify_v for_o christ_n interest_n as_o of_o a_o people_n that_o be_v of_o a_o great_a use_n and_o many_o time_n the_o weak_a that_o we_o scarce_o expect_v any_o good_a account_n of_o at_o their_o death_n have_v a_o better_a confession_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o great_a professor_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v christ_n have_v get_v his_o pennyworth_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v so_o note_v for_o a_o professor_n but_o a_o poor_a body_n that_o be_v never_o know_v go_v away_o to_o death_n glorify_v god_n to_o the_o refresh_n of_o all_o stander_n by_o then_o all_o these_o different_a degree_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o work_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o gracious_a spirit_n and_o work_v one_o and_o the_o same_o grace_n and_o work_v also_o gracious_a end_n that_o say_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n essential_o though_o there_o be_v different_a administration_n and_o manifestation_n and_o be_v unite_n to_o he_o and_o so_o conform_v that_o all_o these_o gracious_a administration_n carry_v on_o such_o a_o end_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v why_o do_v god_n keep_v a_o gradual_a difference_n may_v not_o he_o keep_v a_o great_a stock_n of_o faith_n patience_n and_o love_n to_o keep_v his_o people_n comfortable_a than_o to_o hold_v they_o after_o this_o manner_n we_o indeed_o think_v so_o but_o he_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v

resolve_v to_o give_v out_o divers_a administration_n of_o which_o himself_o be_v head_n and_o he_o will_v have_v different_a member_n of_o his_o body_n with_o which_o he_o will_v be_v serve_v with_o divers_a administration_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o will_v have_v eye_n tongue_n hands_z yea_o love_v more_o than_o i_o do_v yet_o i_o believe_v more_o than_o you_o know_v 2_o this_o gradual_a difference_n the_o lord_n keep_v that_o the_o ransom_n may_v be_v still_o in_o request_n for_o if_o we_o have_v get_v in_o our_o hand_n we_o shall_v have_v lose_v respect_n to_o the_o ransom_n the_o thought_n of_o our_o infirmity_n and_o that_o we_o must_v come_v to_o christ_n make_v he_o precious_a to_o we_o 3_o he_o be_v please_v to_o keep_v this_o diversity_n of_o administration_n because_o earth_n can_v bear_v grace_n in_o its_o perfection_n therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v hew_v it_o out_o in_o a_o small_a measure_n for_o the_o lord_n be_v resolve_v to_o transplant_v all_o the_o tree_n

temptation_n with_o desertion_n but_o the_o sovereignty_n that_o make_v it_o stand_v for_o if_o it_o be_v the_o degree_n of_o grace_n that_o keep_v a_o man_n up_o how_o come_v it_o that_o he_o who_o have_v the_o lively_a exercise_n of_o grace_n he_o be_v almost_o overcome_v of_o a_o temptation_n and_o foil_v in_o a_o evil_a frame_n and_o grace_n at_o under_o with_o he_o that_o he_o be_v run_v

have_v set_v bound_n to_o a_o man_n corruption_n that_o such_o a_o length_n it_o shall_v come_v and_o no_o further_o therefore_o listen_v much_o to_o god_n and_o his_o sovereignty_n and_o very_o
