that_o in_o simplicity_n and_o godly_a sincerity_n not_o with_o fleshly_a wisdom_n but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o the_o world_n 2_o cor._n 1._o 12._o must_v

our_o know_n of_o god_n to_o be_v sound_a save_n and_o true_a we_o do_v not_o so_o much_o know_v our_o know_n of_o god_n by_o this_o supernatural_a sense_n as_o we_o know_v the_o supernatural_a qualification_n and_o sincerity_n of_o our_o know_n of_o god_n so_o that_o we_o rather_o know_v the_o qualification_n of_o the_o act_n that_o the_o work_n be_v do_v according_a to_o god_n than_o the_o act_n according_a to_o its_o substance_n though_o we_o do_v also_o know_v it_o in_o this_o relation_n 1_o ioh._n 3._o 14._o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o

we_o have_v evidence_n that_o we_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n not_o as_o by_o former_a light_n suggest_v to_o we_o that_o the_o immediate_a impression_n of_o this_o great_a and_o broad_a seal_n of_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n and_o his_o personal_a and_o particular_a testimony_n be_v true_a for_o god_n spirit_n need_v not_o another_o witness_n to_o add_v authority_n to_o what_o he_o say_v but_o because_o this_o conclusion_n thou_o john_n anna_n have_v interest_n to_o christ_n to_o thy_o own_o feeling_n must_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n except_o with_o enthusiast_n and_o fanatic_a spiritualist_n we_o separate_v the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o these_o work_n of_o sanctification_n prove_v the_o conclusion_n consequenter_fw-la by_o scripture_n and_o sense_n and_o so_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n thus_o to_o prove_v this_o conclusion_n ay_o john_n peter_n anna_n have_v interest_n in_o christ_n to_o my_o own_o reflect_v and_o private_a assurance_n the_o major_a proposition_n be_v make_v good_a by_o scripture_n the_o assumption_n by_o sense_n and_o the_o conclusion_n lead_v we_o to_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o

that_o he_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n but_o i_o john_n peter_n anna_n do_v believe_v and_o do_v make_v sure_a my_o belief_n by_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o i_o john_n peter_n anna_n have_v a_o clear_a evidence_n to_o my_o own_o feeling_n that_o i_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n the_o proposition_n be_v scripture_n john_n 3._o 36._o ioh._n

of_o my_o interest_n ●n_n christ_n when_o the_o spirit_n stir_v up_o my_o sense_n to_o compare_v my_o say_v and_o walk_v with_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n but_o say_v the_o antinomian_n alas_o all_o the_o certainty_n then_o and_o the_o whole_a personal_a evidence_n that_o i_o have_v to_o know_v that_o i_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n be_v ultimate_o and_o principal_o resolve_v on_o this_o weak_a and_o rot_a foundation_n to_o wit_n on_o my_o own_o good_a work_n which_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n will_v be_v find_v so_o sinful_a as_o they_o shall_v involve_v

yet_o because_o my_o supernatural_a sense_n of_o the_o spirit_n suggest_v that_o these_o work_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v do_v in_o some_o measure_n of_o sincerity_n and_o flow_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o law_n but_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o they_o lead_v i_o to_o christ_n and_o drive_v i_o upon_o a_o clear_a evangelic_a promise_n
