profession_n he_o make_v of_o christ_n that_o can_v wink_v at_o sin_n and_o not_o be_v move_v at_o it_o and_o the_o word_n nor_o prayer_n do_v not_o kindle_v this_o holy_a fire_n in_o he_o then_o certain_o that_o man_n be_v a_o dead_a man_n there_o be_v no_o spark_n of_o holiness_n in_o he_o therefore_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o every_o holy_a man_n as_o they_o be_v use_v to_o say_v to_o hannibal_n that_o he_o have_v fire_n in_o he_o but_o he_o want_v blow_v so_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n you_o have_v heat_n in_o you_o but_o if_o this_o heat_n do_v not_o appear_v at_o all_o time_n or_o at_o sometime_o it_o be_v because_o it_o want_v blow_v for_o when_o they_o have_v a_o just_a occasion_n to_o exercise_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n for_o god_n glory_n they_o will_v show_v that_o they_o have_v zeal_n in_o they_o and_o be_v hot_a and_o lively_a to_o good_a and_o not_o dead_a in_o sin_n for_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a and_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o swoon_n take_v a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o swoon_n if_o aquavitae_n and_o rub_v of_o his_o joint_n will_v not_o recover_v he_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v dead_a so_o if_o the_o word_n will_v not_o work_v heat_n in_o you_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o be_v more_o than_o in_o a_o swoon_n you_o be_v already_o dead_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o adamant_n it_o will_v not_o be_v heat_v with_o fire_n so_o i_o may_v say_v if_o the_o word_n will_v not_o heat_v you_o when_o you_o be_v rub_v with_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n you_o be_v like_o the_o adamant_n dead_a unto_o grace_n second_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o howsoever_o some_o man_n that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v not_o so_o zealous_a as_o be_v 2._o some_o hypocrite_n which_o be_v true_a yet_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v that_o because_o counterfeit_v drug_n and_o ware_n have_v the_o same_o send_v and_o smell_v that_o the_o good_a ware_n have_v that_o thererefore_o they_o be_v as_o good_a or_o that_o the_o good_a ware_n have_v not_o the_o like_a but_o it_o be_v better_a to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o same_o and_o that_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o this_o that_o the_o affection_n have_v a_o false_a dye_n and_o gloss_n put_v upon_o they_o and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a zeal_n and_o there_o be_v a_o true_a zeal_n as_o there_o may_v be_v yellow_a piece_n counterfeit_v aswell_o as_o yellow_a piece_n true_a mettle_n so_o there_o may_v be_v counterfeit_a fire_n as_o well_o as_o true_a fire_n this_o than_o i_o say_v man_n may_v be_v sanctify_v and_o yet_o be_v mild_a and_o not_o of_o so_o hot_a and_o fiery_a a_o disposition_n they_o may_v not_o so_o burn_v in_o the_o spirit_n as_o other_o do_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o conclude_v that_o it_o matter_n not_o therefore_o whether_o you_o be_v zealous_a or_o no_o for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a in_o he_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v false_a in_o thou_o and_o know_v also_o that_o this_o meekness_n be_v join_v with_o much_o holy_a zeal_n though_o it_o be_v not_o outward_o express_v for_o as_o certain_o as_o where_o true_a fire_n be_v there_o be_v heat_n so_o where_o there_o be_v the_o spirit_n there_o be_v zeal_n therefore_o examine_v whether_o you_o have_v heat_n in_o you_o if_o you_o have_v not_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n the_o second_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o sign_n you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n or_o no_o be_v this_o if_o you_o find_v that_o you_o be_v not_o only_o able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o you_o can_v natural_o but_o you_o have_v also_o holiness_n join_v with_o it_o this_o sign_n i_o make_v of_o two_o part_n because_o a_o man_n may_v do_v many_o thing_n that_o may_v carry_v a_o show_n above_o holiness_n nature_n and_o yet_o want_v holiness_n but_o if_o they_o be_v above_o nature_n and_o then_o have_v holiness_n join_v with_o they_o than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n first_o i_o say_v it_o will_v make_v you_o to_o do_v more_o than_o you_o can_v do_v by_o nature_n it_o put_v another_o manner_n 1._o of_o strength_n in_o you_o by_o which_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v these_o thing_n which_o before_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v as_o for_o example_n it_o will_v work_v in_o you_o a_o patience_n above_o a_o natural_a patience_n this_o we_o see_v in_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v crucify_v he_o open_v not_o his_o mouth_n he_o be_v like_o a_o lamb_n he_o have_v more_o than_o natural_a patience_n this_o be_v true_a in_o paul_n peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o saint_n again_o it_o work_v in_o we_o love_v above_o a_o natural_a love_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v full_a of_o love_n he_o have_v compassion_n on_o the_o 3●_n multitude_n again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o man_n a_o joy_n more_o than_o natural_a joy_n this_o we_o see_v in_o paul_n and_o silas_n when_o they_o be_v in_o prison_n they_o sing_v for_o joy_n and_o the_o 25._o disciple_n in_o the_o act_n rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v think_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ._n again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o 41._o man_n boldness_n above_o natural_a boldness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v act_v 4._o 14._o that_o they_o preach_v 14._o the_o word_n with_o great_a boldness_n that_o be_v with_o a_o boldness_n above_o a_o natural_a boldness_n and_o so_o luther_n he_o be_v endue_v with_o this_o spirit_n of_o boldness_n because_o else_o he_o will_v never_o be_v so_o bold_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o truth_n if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v another_o spirit_n in_o he_o again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o man_n wisdom_n above_o a_o natural_a wisdom_n 1._o sam._n 18._o 12._o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o and_o therefore_o 11._o saul_n be_v afraid_a of_o he_o and_o so_o abimelech_n fear_v abraham_n because_o he_o see_v in_o he_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n again_o it_o work_v in_o a_o man_n strength_n above_o natural_a strength_n because_o with_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n they_o have_v another_o add_v to_o it_o again_o it_o will_v make_v you_o see_v above_o a_o natural_a sight_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o teach_v one_o another_o but_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n they_o shall_v see_v into_o the_o excellency_n 34._o that_o be_v in_o god_n now_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o no_o i_o say_v by_o this_o if_o you_o have_v this_o power_n to_o work_v above_o nature_n for_o if_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n you_o shall_v find_v yourselves_o able_a to_o keep_v down_o your_o lust_n have_v power_n and_o ability_n to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n power_n to_o pray_v power_n to_o hear_v power_n to_o confer_v power_n to_o meditate_v power_n to_o love_n power_n to_o obey_v all_o above_o nature_n a_o power_n to_o forsake_v life_n and_o liberty_n riches_n and_o honour_n pleasure_n and_o all_o thing_n if_o they_o come_v in_o competition_n with_o christ_n which_o no_o man_n will_v do_v except_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n second_o as_o it_o give_v strength_n and_o other_o excellent_a quality_n above_o nature_n so_o it_o add_v unto_o it_o holiness_n 2._o it_o put_v a_o tincture_n and_o a_o good_a dye_n upon_o all_o your_o action_n it_o warm_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o put_v the_o heart_n in_o a_o frame_n of_o grace_n many_o man_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o strength_n but_o they_o want_v holiness_n and_o sanctification_n with_o it_o now_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a man_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v and_o divorce_v from_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o its_o salvation_n and_o happiness_n and_o join_v and_o unite_v unto_o christ_n whole_o and_o total_o then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o be_v a_o man_n a_o true_a holy_a man_n it_o be_v with_o a_o holy_a man_n in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o spouse_n she_o be_v separate_v from_o other_o and_o unite_v unto_o her_o husband_n therefore_o they_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n have_v holiness_n with_o it_o the_o vessel_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v holy_a vessel_n because_o they_o be_v appoint_v for_o god_n worship_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o the_o spirit_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n it_o sanctify_v it_o and_o make_v he_o a_o holy_a man_n by_o make_v he_o in_o all_o his_o aim_n and_o end_n to_o pitch_v upon_o god_n glory_n and_o this_o can_v no_o man_n do_v till_o christ_n be_v

or_o no._n now_o that_o a_o man_n may_v know_v this_o the_o better_a i_o will_v make_v it_o clear_a by_o this_o example_n take_v a_o bottle_n that_o be_v full_a of_o water_n and_o another_o that_o be_v full_a of_o aquavitae_n look_v upon_o they_o outward_o and_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o colour_n but_o if_o you_o taste_v the_o one_o be_v hot_a and_o lively_a but_o the_o other_o be_v cold_a and_o raw_a so_o if_o you_o look_v unto_o the_o outward_a formal_a action_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o have_v the_o same_o colour_n that_o the_o action_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n have_v but_o if_o you_o taste_v they_o examine_v their_o life_n and_o search_v into_o their_o heart_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o great_a difference_n the_o one_o of_o they_o it_o may_v be_v may_v seem_v to_o have_v life_n and_o heat_n in_o they_o but_o they_o want_v the_o spirit_n for_o they_o have_v neither_o a_o loathe_n of_o sin_n nor_o power_n to_o resist_v sin_n they_o may_v put_v a_o false_a colour_n upon_o their_o action_n but_o it_o will_v not_o hold_v they_o may_v restrain_v some_o lust_n for_o some_o end_n but_o such_o can_v master_v and_o subdue_v they_o and_o it_o may_v heat_v a_o part_n of_o his_o heart_n but_o it_o can_v heat_v all_o his_o heart_n but_o where_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n come_v it_o heat_v all_o the_o soul_n kindle_v a_o holy_a fire_n in_o all_o the_o faculty_n to_o burn_v up_o sin_n which_o be_v there_o and_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o john_n baptist_n baptism_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ._n john_n will_v baptize_v they_o with_o water_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o examine_v what_o heat_n there_o be_v in_o you_o against_o evil_n and_o what_o zeal_n there_o be_v in_o you_o to_o good_a be_v you_o cold_a in_o prayer_n in_o conference_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v you_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o pray_v and_o confer_v but_o see_v with_o what_o heat_n you_o do_v they_o be_v it_o with_o you_o in_o these_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v you_o to_o be_v in_o earthly_a 1_o cor._n 7._o 30._o 31._o to_o sorrow_n as_o if_o you_o sorrow_v not_o to_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o you_o use_v it_o not_o do_v you_o perform_v holy_a 31._o duty_n with_o that_o coldness_n as_o if_o you_o care_v not_o whether_o you_o do_v they_o or_o do_v they_o not_o do_v you_o hear_v as_o if_o you_o hear_v not_o and_o do_v you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o if_o you_o receive_v it_o not_o and_o do_v you_o pray_v as_o if_o you_o pray_v not_o and_o do_v you_o love_v as_o if_o you_o love_v it_o not_o then_o sure_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o find_v spiritual_a heat_n and_o zeal_n in_o you_o a_o nimbleness_n and_o quickness_n to_o good_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o heat_v the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o zeal_n of_o thy_o house_n have_v even_o eat_v i_o up_o intimate_v i_o have_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o zeal_n wrought_v in_o i_o by_o thy_o spirit_n that_o i_o can_v see_v thou_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n dishonour_v but_o i_o must_v burn_v with_o zeal_n therefore_o examine_v what_o zeal_n you_o have_v for_o god_n and_o godliness_n be_v you_o hot_a for_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n and_o cold_a for_o grace_n and_o holiness_n whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o yourselves_o yet_o you_o have_v not_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n there_o be_v not_o a_o holy_a man_n or_o woman_n that_o belong_v unto_o christ_n but_o they_o have_v this_o holy_a fire_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o mistake_v i_o as_o if_o every_o christian_a do_v attain_v unto_o the_o like_a heat_n and_o zeal_n as_o other_o do_v for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o some_o have_v more_o some_o have_v less_o according_a unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n that_o they_o have_v but_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o must_v be_v full_a of_o heat_n full_a in_o some_o measure_n answerable_a unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n but_o if_o you_o find_v no_o heat_n at_o all_o in_o you_o than_o you_o have_v not_o a_o grain_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o to_o be_v hot_a be_v to_o be_v

laodicean_n be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a but_o lukewarm_a that_o be_v they_o have_v neither_o heat_n 15._o to_o good_a nor_o so_o cold_a as_o to_o forsake_v the_o truth_n sin_n and_o holiness_n stand_v in_o aequilibrio_fw-la together_o and_o they_o have_v as_o good_a a_o mind_n unto_o the_o one_o as_o unto_o the_o other_o now_o because_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o they_o therefore_o say_v god_n i_o will_v spew_v they_o cut_v and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v zealous_a and_o amend_v except_o you_o labour_v to_o be_v hot_a in_o the_o spirit_n you_o can_v be_v save_v titus_n 2._o 14._o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n die_v that_o he_o may_v purchase_v unto_o himself_o a_o people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n this_o zeal_n must_v not_o be_v a_o constrain_a zeal_n but_o a_o willing_a zeal_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o motive_n to_o move_v man_n to_o be_v zealous_a but_o this_o because_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v they_o for_o this_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v zealous_a for_o his_o glory_n if_o there_o be_v any_o spark_n of_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o he_o it_o will_v burn_v at_o christ_n dishonour_n and_o if_o christ_n come_v unto_o this_o end_n to_o make_v man_n zealous_a then_o sure_o christ_n will_v not_o loose_v his_o end_n but_o they_o that_o christ_n will_v save_v shall_v be_v zealous_a therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o labour_n to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o labour_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n that_o you_o may_v be_v zealous_a but_o alas_o man_n have_v drink_v too_o much_o of_o this_o cup_n of_o giddiness_n they_o think_v they_o need_v not_o be_v so_o zealous_a as_o they_o be_v but_o i_o say_v if_o you_o be_v not_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n especial_o it_o stand_v man_n now_o upon_o if_o they_o have_v any_o holy_a zeal_n in_o they_o to_o show_v it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v time_n you_o shall_v show_v it_o when_o you_o see_v such_o halt_n between_o two_o opinion_n show_v your_o zeal_n by_o hate_v and_o abhor_v popery_n and_o by_o labour_v to_o draw_v man_n from_o it_o especial_o now_o when_o we_o see_v man_n so_o

these_o man_n sure_o they_o be_v all_o go_v for_o there_o be_v no_o heat_n and_o zeal_n leave_v it_o be_v true_a we_o abound_v in_o knowledge_n we_o have_v the_o same_o knowledge_n that_o they_o have_v but_o we_o want_v their_o zeal_n and_o spirit_n and_o we_o have_v the_o same_o gift_n but_o we_o want_v their_o spirit_n but_o let_v we_o now_o at_o length_n show_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n to_o have_v the_o spirit_n in_o we_o by_o our_o zeal_n against_o evil_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o many_o holy_a man_n that_o have_v 1._o the_o spirit_n yet_o be_v not_o so_o hot_a

that_o holy_a man_n may_v have_v pit_n wherein_o they_o may_v be_v fall_v they_o may_v have_v answ._n dross_n aswell_o as_o gold_n and_o hence_o they_o may_v be_v draw_v by_o a_o strong_a passion_n

learn_v that_o god_n wrath_n and_o sin_n be_v exceed_o terrible_a and_o doctr._n unsupportable_a when_o they_o be_v once_o charge_v on_o the_o conscience_n this_o make_v judas_n to_o hang_v himself_o

what_o this_o horror_n of_o conscience_n be_v which_o i_o will_v do_v by_o explain_v these_o five_o question_n follow_v by_o what_o mean_n be_v this_o horror_n of_o conscience_n 1._o wrought_v two_o way_n sometime_o by_o god_n own_o spirit_n answ._n sometime_o by_o satan_n first_o it_o be_v do_v by_o god_n own_o spirit_n when_o by_o it_o the_o mind_n be_v enlighten_v to_o see_v that_o he_o be_v in_o bondage_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n rom._n 8._o second_o and_o more_o frequent_o by_o satan_n when_o he_o by_o god_n permission_n do_v vex_v and_o terrify_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o drive_v they_o to_o despair_v and_o this_o be_v call_v horror_n and_o the_o vex_v of_o the_o soul_n now_o whether_o this_o horror_n of_o conscience_n be_v wrought_v by_o god_n own_o spirit_n or_o by_o satan_n we_o may_v know_v by_o these_o four_o difference_n 1._o if_o we_o find_v any_o falsehood_n mingle_v with_o this_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n than_o it_o come_v from_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mingle_v no_o falsehood_n but_o only_o enlighten_v and_o show_v the_o truth_n light_n make_v a_o thing_n seem_v as_o it_o be_v 2._o you_o may_v discern_v of_o it_o by_o the_o affection_n it_o strike_v in_o we_o for_o that_o that_o the_o devil_n cause_v in_o we_o strike_v a_o hatred_n of_o god_n but_o that_o that_o god_n spirit_n work_v in_o we_o cause_v a_o servile_a fear_n 3._o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o the_o extremity_n of_o anguish_n it_o cause_v god_n spirit_n work_v by_o meekness_n and_o consolation_n but_o the_o devil_n work_v by_o extremity_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n answ._n 4._o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v for_o the_o devil_n do_v it_o disorderly_a sudden_o and_o violent_o without_o any_o equality_n but_o the_o spirit_n proceed_v orderly_o first_o it_o enlighten_v the_o mind_n and_o then_o it_o raise_v objection_n and_o so_o go_v on_o by_o a_o little_a and_o a_o little_a but_o the_o devil_n work_v violent_o hence_o be_v that_o that_o satan_n be_v say_v to_o buffet_v paul_n for_o all_o buffet_n betoken_v violence_n indeed_o sometime_o the_o spirit_n do_v unequal_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o satan_n work_v and_o his_o what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o such_o a_o condition_n 2._o i_o answer_v that_o such_o a_o condition_n be_v simple_o answ._n in_o itself_o consider_v be_v very_o miserable_a because_o it_o estrange_v and_o draw_v the_o heart_n away_o from_o god_n yea_o and_o from_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o end_n of_o god_n work_n and_o so_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o most_o heinous_a sin_n but_o yet_o as_o god_n use_v it_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n or_o one_o of_o the_o first_o step_n to_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a mean_n to_o subdue_v and_o weaken_v the_o stubbornness_n of_o our_o heart_n quest._n how_o may_v we_o know_v whether_o god_n intend_v this_o for_o a_o punishment_n or_o for_o a_o preparation_n of_o grace_n answ._n you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o the_o event_n for_o when_o god_n do_v it_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o creature_n then_o after_o it_o there_o follow_v grace_n but_o if_o it_o bring_v not_o grace_n after_o it_o if_o there_o be_v only_o a_o plow_a and_o no_o harvest_n the_o prick_n with_o a_o needle_n and_o no_o thread_n then_o it_o be_v a_o spark_n of_o hell_n fire_n and_o the_o very_a praludium_fw-la of_o hell_n what_o shall_v we_o then_o think_v of_o those_o that_o never_o 3._o have_v this_o horror_n and_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n their_o estate_n for_o all_o that_o may_v be_v very_o good_a for_o this_o vexation_n be_v not_o absolute_o needful_a although_o answ._n humiliation_n be_v wherefore_o if_o thou_o have_v it_o not_o seek_v not_o after_o it_o for_o god_n use_v many_o mean_n yet_o thou_o may_v take_v hence_o occasion_n the_o more_o to_o try_v thy_o estate_n whether_o come_v this_o horror_n from_o melancholy_n or_o how_o shall_v we_o disceme_v it_o from_o melancholy_a 4._o if_o thou_o apprehend_v sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n answ._n than_o it_o be_v horror_n of_o conscience_n for_o when_o the_o faculty_n be_v pinch_v upon_o the_o right_a object_n to_o wit_n sin_n then_o it_o be_v no_o melancholy_a but_o in_o horror_n the_o conscience_n be_v pitch_v upon_o the_o right_n obeject_v viz._n sin_n for_o that_o be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o the_o conscience_n as_o for_o melancholy_a that_o be_v not_o grief_n but_o extend_v grief_n as_o varnish_n be_v not_o colour_n but_o do_v extend_v the_o colour_n indeed_o melancholy_a may_v be_v join_v with_o it_o and_o draw_v it_o forth_o but_o it_o come_v not_o whole_o from_o that_o but_o from_o some_o other_o inward_a principle_n as_o the_o fatness_n of_o the_o soil_n may_v bring_v forth_o the_o corn_n the_o soon_o but_o yet_o that_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n thereof_o but_o the_o root_n that_o it_o have_v again_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o disease_n be_v heal_v by_o their_o contrary_n if_o that_o this_o be_v melancholy_a then_o may_v it_o be_v heal_v by_o merry_a company_n which_o be_v the_o contrary_a unto_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o horror_n of_o conscience_n then_o must_v it_o only_o be_v heal_v by_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n love_n in_o jesus_n christ._n whether_o may_v it_o befall_v the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o 5._o be_v in_o this_o case_n after_o he_o be_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o grace_n or_o not_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o extremity_n of_o horror_n which_o judas_n here_o taste_v of_o never_o befall_v the_o child_n god_n answ._n after_o he_o be_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o grace_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o that_o as_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o all_o fear_n so_o where_o there_o be_v some_o love_n leave_v there_o be_v no_o perfect_a fear_n indeed_o god_n child_n be_v never_o whole_o without_o fear_n rom._n 8._o yet_o in_o their_o great_a
