look_v on_o the_o people_n of_o god_n li●e_z the_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o do_v go_v to_o build_v the_o temple_n some_o be_v appoint_v to_o hew_v stone_n some_o to_o dig_v they_o up_o and_o some_o

he_o cut_v out_o distinct_a parcel_n of_o work_n to_o his_o people_n and_o thereupon_o supply_v they_o with_o his_o spirit_n and_o reveal_v truth_n to_o his_o people_n some_o to_o manage_v such_o a_o thing_n no_o man_n know_v the_o reason_n god_n fasten_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n upon_o some_o that_o they_o can_v rest_v night_n nor_o day_n and_o one_o that_o may_v be_v unwilling_a

by_o his_o spirit_n according_a to_o his_o bless_a will_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o censure_v or_o sleight_n godly_a man_n because_o our_o master_n do_v not_o employ_v they_o about_o such_o a_o work_n as_o he_o do_v we_o it_o may_v be_v my_o thought_n be_v upon_o sanctification_n another_o upon_o justification_n so_o god_n cut_v out_o the_o work_n as_o it_o please_v he_o now_o this_o

much_o tribulation_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o every_o sermon_n as_o we_o may_v say_v barnabas_n have_v something_o to_o strengthen_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n to_o go_v through_o tribulation_n and_o affliction_n it_o may_v be_v another_o apostle_n have_v his_o spirit_n upon_o another_o work_n it_o may_v be_v in_o reference_n to_o this_o he_o give_v they_o this_o exhortation_n desire_v they_o with_o full_a purpose_n of_o heart_n to_o cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v now_o you_o be_v in_o prosperity_n for_o so_o they_o be_v and_o be_v all_o ready_a to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n and_o receive_v it_o o_o say_v he_o but_o there_o be_v a_o time_n a_o come_n to_o try_v you_o and_o you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o run_v to_o heaven_n between_o two_o featherbed_n but_o as_o all_o the_o saint_n before_o have_v their_o share_n so_o every_o one_o that_o will_v live_v in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n as_o there_o be_v a_o statute_n in_o heaven_n for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v so_o if_o you_o be_v saint_n you_o must_v live_v in_o tribulation_n and_o persecution_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n as_o christ_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o suffering_n so_o you_o must_v come_v to_o salvation_n therefore_o when_o those_o thing_n come_v i_o have_v not_o much_o to_o say_v to_o you_o but_o o_o then_o remember_v to_o cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o than_o you_o shall_v see_v hypocrite_n in_o drove_n go_v away_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o leave_v he_o one_o stumble_v at_o this_o another_z at_z that_o one_o

in_o a_o few_o thing_n wherein_o you_o undervalue_v the_o spirit_n one_o be_v that_o you_o do_v not_o hearken_v enough_o nor_o regard_n and_o observe_v enough_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o

grace_n why_o a_o saint_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o that_o he_o do_v not_o observe_v his_o leader_n for_o i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o spirit_n say_v christ_n that_o shall_v lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n now_o if_o you_o observe_v not_o this_o leader_n this_o teacher_n it_o be_v very_o just_a that_o you_o shall_v be_v leave_v to_o wander_v and_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n if_o a_o christian_a will_v observe_v his_o way_n and_o observe_v his_o leader_n a_o christian_n may_v easy_o find_v when_o he_o be_v in_o and_o when_o he_o be_v out_o for_o true_o if_o a_o man_n will_v ask_v himself_o why_o do_v i_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o often_o since_o i_o have_v such_o a_o teacher_n promise_v i_o and_o give_v i_o by_o christ_n he_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o oftentimes_o i_o do_v not_o observe_v he_o i_o do_v not_o hearken_v to_o he_o i_o hearken_v only_o to_o man_n and_o not_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o he_o will_v easy_o find_v when_o he_o begin_v to_o give_v over_o harken_v where_o he_o leave_v the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o in_o my_o apprehension_n a_o saint_n follow_v the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o sagacity_n if_o i_o may_v compare_v it_o with_o reverence_n just_a as_o we_o see_v the_o dog_n follow_v the_o hare_n there_o be_v something_o in_o nature_n that_o the_o dog_n know_v which_o way_n the_o hare_n go_v when_o a_o wise_a creature_n know_v not_o so_o there_o be_v something_o in_o a_o poor_a saint_n that_o when_o all_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n know_v not_o which_o way_n god_n go_v a_o saint_n can_v tell_v only_o the_o dog_n may_v hunt_v upon_o a_o cold_a send_v and_o think_v the_o hare_n go_v that_o way_n and_o it_o grow_v cold_a and_o cold_a and_o he_o miss_v so_o a_o saint_n shall_v find_v when_o he_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o leave_v he_o unless_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a as_o the_o spirit_n leave_v christ_n to_o be_v tempt_v in_o the_o wilderness_n so_o he_o may_v leave_v thou_o to_o pull_v down_o thy_o pride_n and_o to_o humble_v thou_o isay_n that_o be_v rare_a but_o ordinary_o the_o spirit_n leave_v not_o thou_o but_o thou_o let_v go_v thy_o leader_n and_o thou_o go_v all_o the_o while_n on_o a_o cold_a send_v a_o saint_n though_o he_o headlong_o follow_v this_o or_o that_o conceit_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o may_v know_v when_o he_o come_v to_o look_v upon_o himself_o sure_o i_o go_v upon_o a_o cold_a send_v in_o those_o thing_n though_o i_o follow_v they_o headlong_o and_o giddy_o it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o teach_n that_o i_o have_v ordinary_o therefore_o observe_v your_o leader_n harken_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o

not_o this_o be_v the_o main_a way_n the_o chief_a essential_a difference_n the_o one_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o other_o have_v not_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o whether_o yonder_o man_n pray_v

of_o himself_o for_o a_o poor_a creature_n to_o see_v many_o stumble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o if_o we_o will_v resolve_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

i_o mean_v therefore_o learn_v this_o lesson_n to_o strive_v for_o this_o as_o the_o chief_a thing_n to_o find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o you_o dwell_v and_o work_v in_o you_o because_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v one_o great_a promise_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n and_o all_o other_o promise_v belong_v to_o

i_o may_v as_o well_o find_v the_o spirit_n work_v in_o i_o as_o to_o know_v without_o that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o i_o if_o religion_n be_v state_v aright_o i_o mean_v christianity_n christian_a religion_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o in_o book_n but_o the_o life_n of_o christianty_n it_o will_v be_v to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o to_o enjoy_v the_o spirit_n of_o

his_o affliction_n upon_o thou_o thou_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n that_o be_v thy_o good_a father_n have_v some_o gracious_a design_n to_o sow_v barley_n or_o wheat_n or_o rye_n to_o sow_v

the_o sow_a they_o be_v so_o tough_a and_o dogged_a so_o some_o nature_n must_v be_v oft_o and_o deep_o and_o long_o plough_v therefore_o stare_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o affliction_n but_o

bring_v strong_a affliction_n upon_o his_o child_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n will_v not_o always_o be_v thresh_v he_o will_v not_o always_o afflict_v for_o then_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n will_v fail_v before_o he_o if_o thy_o affliction_n be_v light_a say_v i_o be_o a_o little_a fitch_n or_o cummin_n if_o they_o be_v heavy_a say_v they_o will_v be_v short_a for_o the_o husbandman_n though_o he_o deal_v more_o coarse_o with_o his_o corn_n then_o with_o his_o fitche_n yet_o he_o take_v it_o into_o his_o barn_n and_o lay_v it_o up_o safe_a so_o though_o thy_o affliction_n be_v

a_o moment_n now_o all_o my_o affliction_n and_o suffering_n i_o be_o not_o to_o look_v on_o they_o under_o the_o law_n that_o be_v as_o though_o god_n in_o reference_n to_o these_o have_v a_o

of_o we_o to_o be_v a_o little_a more_o diligent_a and_o careful_a to_o gospel_n to_o be_v diligent_a hearer_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n hear_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o they_o be_v open_v to_o we_o if_o angel_n come_v down_o as_o it_o be_v and_o learn_v this_o wisdom_n by_o the_o gospel_n who_o be_v so_o great_a but_o he_o shall_v stoop_v to_o pry_v into_o these_o glorious_a mystery_n and_o if_o the_o devil_n though_o he_o learn_v it_o that_o he_o may_v the_o more_o dishonour_n god_n by_o it_o harken_v to_o every_o tittle_n and_o use_v of_o it_o and_o improve_v it_o how_o careful_a shall_v we_o be_v if_o the_o good_a angel_n learn_v though_o their_o salvation_n be_v not_o by_o it_o but_o only_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o mystery_n and_o beauty_n of_o it_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v i_o hearken_v who_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n it_o be_v for_o ever_o if_o the_o devil_n hearken_v to_o every_o doctrine_n and_o use_n that_o he_o may_v

hence_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o watchfulness_n against_o satan_n true_o the_o devil_n satan_n to_o learn_v caution_n against_o satan_n be_v a_o gross_a fool_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n i_o mean_v there_o be_v but_o little_o preach_v therefore_o he_o have_v but_o little_a knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n

way_n for_o the_o generality_n and_o now_o he_o have_v get_v spiritual_a temptation_n for_o as_o the_o gospel_n break_v out_o for_o the_o enlighten_v of_o the_o saint_n to_o bring_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o save_v their_o soul_n so_o the_o devil_n get_v more_o light_n and_o knowledge_n whereby_o he_o may_v more_o dishonour_n god_n and_o damnify_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n the_o devil_n be_v the_o same_o now_o as_o he_o be_v then_o to_o dishonour_n god_n and_o damn_v soul_n and_o the_o way_n general_o be_v the_o same_o to_o bring_v man_n to_o sin_n but_o for_o the_o special_a manner_n of_o it_o the_o devil_n drive_v a_o new_a trade_n nothing_o like_o as_o before_o before_o it_o be_v to_o invocate_v angel_n and_o dead_a saint_n that_o be_v gross_a now_o you_o think_v you_o be_v safe_a because_o these_o thing_n be_v go_v but_o the_o devil_n have_v get_v the_o spiritual_a knowledge_n of_o every_o lesson_n you_o hear_v and_o he_o know_v how_o to_o beat_v you_o with_o your_o own_o weapon_n the_o devil_n have_v temptation_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a now_o he_o bring_v man_n to_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o spiritual_a knowledge_n he_o hear_v precious_a thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o a_o intelligble_a man_n be_v much_o take_v with_o notion_n and_o the_o devil_n take_v he_o that_o way_n he_o see_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n break_v out_o and_o it_o be_v glorious_a and_o man_n be_v take_v with_o it_o therefore_o in_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n man_n shall_v swagger_v as_o the_o world_n do_v and_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v something_o like_o professor_n even_o to_o the_o world_n now_o they_o shall_v walk_v in_o all_o looseness_n and_o wantonness_n i_o say_v not_o that_o all_o do_v so_o but_o there_o be_v some_o and_o

towards_o it_o the_o heart_n lie_v gape_v and_o be_v dead_a let_v any_o lust_n or_o sin_n come_v any_o temptation_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o poor_a and_o feeble_a there_o be_v no_o resistance_n there_o be_v a_o inroad_n into_o the_o soul_n without_o any_o opposition_n let_v pride_n or_o frowardness_n or_o filthiness_n or_o covetousness_n and_o worldliness_n come_v there_o be_v nothing_o to_o

by_o experience_n as_o a_o jade_n with_o a_o good_a switch_n be_v set_v on_o to_o the_o journey_n or_o to_o his_o business_n so_o when_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n have_v somewhat_o within_o to_o switch_v he_o to_o cause_v he_o to_o close_v with_o good_a thing_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o they_o to_o attempt_v they_o at_o least_o whereas_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v away_o there_o be_v no_o stir_v the_o soul_n be_v as_o flat_a and_o as_o dead_a as_o water_n in_o a_o stink_a ditch_n this_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o you_o that_o have_v it_o prize_v it_o there_o be_v

that_o have_v these_o stir_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o you_o to_o make_v you_o close_o with_o good_a and_o to_o resist_v evil_a in_o some_o measure_n bless_v god_n and_o praise_v his_o name_n for_o

whatsoever_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n a_o man_n will_v think_v it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a phrase_n we_o observe_v it_o not_o flesh_n be_v abominable_a to_o god_n flesh_n what_o be_v

set_v up_o his_o worship_n then_o when_o antichrist_n set_v it_o up_o our_o grow_v in_o knowledge_n be_v not_o as_o honest_a doctor_n preston_n say_v to_o know_v new_a thing_n so_o much_o as_o to_o

the_o matter_n of_o it_o first_o i_o find_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o plain_a simple_a thing_n not_o of_o ens_fw-la and_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la and_o notion_n that_o none_o

their_o high_a and_o glorious_a light_n but_o i_o see_v the_o apostle_n preach_v christ_n they_o tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o man_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n apprehend_v of_o the_o jew_n and_o he_o be_v a_o public_a person_n and_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n and_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o act_n we_o find_v none_o of_o those_o chimera_n and_o idea_n and_o distinction_n that_o we_o general_o find_v professor_n now_o aim_v at_o but_o to_o know_v plain_a christ_n crucify_v in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n as_o compare_v 1_o cor._n 2._o with_o philip._n 3._o we_o shall_v see_v clear_o paul_n say_v he_o know_v what_o the_o world_n do_v not_o know_v that_o eye_n

it_o be_v a_o plain_a simple_a thing_n it_o 2._o the_o instrument_n divulge_v it_o so_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n choose_v simple_a people_n to_o go_v and_o preach_v it_o he_o choose_v general_o

in_o your_o soul_n i_o know_v god_n many_o time_n by_o these_o break_a word_n may_v do_v your_o soul_n good_a but_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o i_o confess_v my_o soul_n be_v so_o full_a of_o
