cleanse_v yourselves_o from_o all_o pollusion_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n if_o you_o will_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n then_o know_v that_o this_o be_v require_v that_o you_o not_o

the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o where_o be_v our_o boldness_n our_o courage_n our_o forwardness_n for_o the_o truth_n why_o be_v we_o so_o fearful_a and_o rich_a of_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o

but_o you_o will_v say_v object_n a_o man_n may_v be_v too_o bold_a it_o be_v very_o true_a boldness_n when_o the_o horse_n run_v up_o and_o down_o and_o be_v at_o liberty_n
be_v one_o and_o a_o principal_a one_o even_o to_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o your_o sin_n 3_o the_o three_o and_o chief_a use_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v this_o this_o corruption_n of_o

be_v salvation_n therefore_o we_o will_v have_v man_n to_o know_v their_o condition_n to_o know_v that_o they_o be_v in_o state_n of_o death_n for_o that_o that_o keep_v man_n from_o come_v to_o

they_o see_v not_o their_o sin_n answ._n and_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o have_v be_v thus_o long_o in_o open_v this_o point_n that_o you_o may_v know_v yourselves_o and_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v if_o you_o do_v know_v yourselves_o if_o god_n have_v kindle_v a_o light_n within_o whereby_o to_o see_v your_o corruption_n you_o will_v not_o stand_v cheapen_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o you_o

have_v a_o good_a bargain_n god_n shall_v not_o then_o deny_v you_o you_o will_v wrestle_v with_o he_o as_o jacob_n do_v and_o give_v he_o no_o rest_n till_o you_o have_v obtain_v a_o blessing_n this_o will_v awaken_v man_n out_o of_o their_o dead_a sleep_n of_o security_n as_o that_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v sinful_a so_o he_o be_v secure_a he_o consider_v not_o his_o sin_n therefore_o to_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v you_o must_v add_v something_o of_o your_o own_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o show_v you_o the_o sin_n you_o be_v subject_a to_o than_o a_o little_a map_n be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o do_v but_o point_n to_o the_o sin_n you_o be_v subject_a to_o as_o a_o point_n in_o the_o

will_n and_o memory_n be_v out_o of_o order_n to_o consider_v how_o you_o have_v offend_v in_o thought_n in_o word_n and_o in_o action_n by_o sin_n of_o omission_n and_o of_o commission_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v you_o shall_v read_v your_o nature_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o make_v what_o i_o have_v say_v profitable_a to_o you_o and_o do_v not_o think_v you_o may_v go_v too_o far_o do_v not_o

himself_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o he_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o speak_v without_o ground_n look_v upon_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o saint_n john_n the_o three_o

what_o be_v amiss_o in_o we_o the_o heart_n say_v jeremie_n be_v deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n who_o can_v know_v it_o there_o be_v a_o depth_n of_o evil_a in_o the_o heart_n which_o no_o man_n

show_v the_o disease_n the_o apostle_n take_v of_o so_o much_o pain_n to_o persuade_v man_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v by_o their_o own_o righteousness_n be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o

bring_v quite_o contrary_a news_n like_o the_o wicked_a spy_n that_o be_v send_v into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n who_o when_o they_o do_v but_o cast_v their_o eye_n on_o the_o state_n of_o thing_n there_o they_o be_v first_o discourage_v themselves_o and_o then_o discourage_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n oh_o there_o be_v giant_n and_o wall_n reach_v up_o to_o heaven_n whereas_o the_o good_a spy_n that_o look_v on_o thing_n with_o another_o eye_n bring_v another_o kind_n of_o message_n just_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o send_v out_o our_o spy_n to_o look_v upon_o the_o state_n of_o thing_n before_o we_o if_o we_o send_v forth_o the_o flesh_n sense_n and_o reason_n they_o bring_v report_n of_o terrible_a wall_n and_o cruel_a giant_n their_o power_n be_v so_o great_a their_o force_n so_o strong_a that_o there_o be_v no_o meddle_v with_o they_o but_o send_v faith_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o will_n like_o good_a spy_n look_v on_o thing_n with_o a_o right_a

creature_n which_o the_o other_o do_v not_o he_o see_v a_o all-sufficiency_n in_o god_n which_o the_o other_o can_v and_o therefore_o he_o have_v only_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o lord_n all_o his_o care_n be_v to_o serve_v he_o and_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n so_o he_o have_v no_o ill_a news_n from_o heaven_n he_o care_v for_o nothing_o on_o earth_n the_o other_o care_v not_o how_o matter_n

2_o cor._n 5.17_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n let_v he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n though_o she_o have_v no_o countetenance_n from_o christ_n prayer_n

they_o never_o let_v it_o go_v out_o again_o look_v to_o it_o diligent_o if_o you_o have_v get_v a_o spark_n from_o heaven_n let_v it_o not_o go_v out_o again_o as_o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o many_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n but_o god_n that_o do_v it_o word_n then_o do_v not_o expect_v from_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o excellency_n of_o wisdom_n or_o of_o word_n that_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o wit_n and_o eloquence_n and_o learning_n will_v this_o make_v a_o new_a creature_n no_o it_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v man_n new_a

with_o excellency_n of_o word_n for_o then_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v of_o no_o effect_n that_o be_v no_o man_n will_v be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o christ_n will_v die_v in_o vain_a therefore_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n these_o go_v together_o evidence_n of_o spirit_n and_o power_n what_o then_o be_v this_o preach_n in_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n certain_o it_o be_v never_o evident_a that_o the_o spirit_n speak_v but_o when_o you_o know_v the_o word_n speak_v therefore_o when_o any_o man_n know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n we_o preach_v there_o be_v a_o evidence_n it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o when_o the_o spiri●_n speak_v to_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v power_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o christ_n do_v so_o much_o good_a he_o teach_v with_o authority_n and_o not_o as_o the_o scribe_n what_o be_v that_o to_o come_v with_o authority_n as_o when_o a_o constable_n

there_o be_v of_o god_n so_o much_o authority_n therefore_o come_v not_o with_o affectation_n of_o excellency_n of_o word_n and_o wisdom_n if_o we_o have_v all_o the_o wit_n in_o the_o world_n to_o

choose_v a_o minister_n choose_v not_o such_o a_o one_o desire_v it_o not_o expect_v it_o not_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v be_v wise_a than_o man_n it_o will_v do_v more_o than_o all_o the_o

it_o be_v foolishness_n to_o they_o that_o be_v child_n and_o unable_a to_o discern_v again_o though_o it_o be_v but_o foolishness_n on_o the_o outside_n yet_o there_o be_v treasure_n within_o and_o god_n have_v hide_v these_o treasure_n under_o base_a outside_n that_o man_n may_v stumble_v at_o they_o as_o man_n that_o hide_v treasure_n under_o straw_n the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v save_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n therefore_o see_v it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o he_o will_v use_v his_o own_o instrument_n god_n work_v by_o it_o can_v word_n can_v all_o moral_a wit_n make_v a_o new_a

preach_v any_o thing_n else_o you_o do_v but_o see_v a_o creature_n and_o you_o think_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o creature_n for_o you_o can_v answer_v wit_n with_o wit_n and_o learning_n with_o learning_n and_o when_o you_o see_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o man_n though_o never_o so_o excellent_a yet_o they_o be_v man_n but_o when_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o conscience_n now_o the_o heart_n be_v bring_v down_o when_o it_o see_v it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n that_o only_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n therefore_o expect_v not_o the_o contrary_a and_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o write_v the_o epistle_n though_o we_o be_v the_o minister_n it_o be_v therefore_o not_o without_o use_n that_o we_o preach_v this_o doctrine_n to_o you_o word_n and_o to_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v add_v this_o one_o more_o therefore_o if_o you_o find_v there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o mighty_a work_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o your_o heart_n at_o any_o time_n when_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n know_v you_o have_v hear_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o labour_n be_v lose_v if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o work_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v two_o preacher_n at_o the_o same_o time_n one_o that_o speak_v to_o the_o heart_n powerful_o that_o make_v you_o new_a

make_v you_o new_a creature_n as_o a_o graft_n be_v then_o graft_v when_o it_o change_v all_o the_o stock_n therefore_o consider_v whether_o you_o do_v so_o hear_v or_o no_o that_o it_o have_v breed_v such_o a_o change_n in_o you_o and_o know_v otherwise_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o in_o vain_a for_o what_o do_v we_o do_v when_o we_o preach_v the_o word_n we_o do_v as_o gehezi_n do_v he_o come_v run_v with_o elisha_n staff_n to_o raise_v the_o child_n but_o he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o for_o though_o he_o have_v elisha_n staff_n he_o have_v not_o elisha_n spirit_n so_o we_o come_v with_o the_o

but_o the_o rig_v of_o the_o sail_n and_o what_o will_v all_o
same_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v poor_a in_o their_o spiritual_a estate_n for_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v riches_n riches_n serve_v but_o for_o this_o purpose_n to_o procure_v thing_n

spiritual_a riches_n that_o will_v procure_v thing_n needful_a for_o our_o soul_n and_o if_o we_o want_v they_o we_o shall_v want_v that_o that_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o we_o shall_v want_v that_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n for_o riches_n do_v but_o set_v man_n a_o work_n to_o do_v we_o service_n riches_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o man_n can_v do_v but_o these_o spiritual_a riches_n set_v god_n a_o work_n to_o do_v we_o good_a they_o be_v beyond_o the_o other_o as_o much_o as_o the_o help_n of_o god_n go_v beyond_o the_o help_n of_o man_n when_o you_o need_v

between_o the_o death_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o another_o when_o a_o wicked_a man_n come_v to_o the_o time_n of_o need_n he_o have_v nothing_o to_o sustain_v he_o he_o have_v no_o oil_n leave_v
