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

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

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 and_o zealous_a against_o evil_n but_o be_v marvellous_a mild_a and_o patient_a therefore_o a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v zealous_a first_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 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 and_o lust_n not_o just_o to_o weigh_v sin_n aright_o whence_o arise_v remissness_n and_o neglect_v both_o in_o do_v good_a and_o resist_v evil_a but_o this_o in_o a_o regenerate_a man_n i_o call_v but_o a_o passion_n because_o it_o continue_v not_o for_o prayer_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o pure_a word_n will_v recover_v this_o again_o that_o be_v will_v recover_v his_o strength_n and_o make_v he_o zealous_a against_o sin_n but_o if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n whatsoever_o
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

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

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

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

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

wrought_v by_o the_o word_n than_o there_o will_v be_v a_o deep_a humiliation_n wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o sin_n and_o then_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n and_o begin_v to_o cheer_v up_o the_o deject_a soul_n and_o strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n and_o then_o thereupon_o there_o will_v be_v a_o thorough_a change_n wrought_v in_o the_o whole_a man_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v first_o to_o pull_v down_o what_o man_n corruption_n have_v build_v and_o then_o to_o lay_v down_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o spiritual_a building_n humility_n and_o then_o after_o to_o rear_v the_o build_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o will_v know_v whether_o the_o plant_n

see_v it_o by_o the_o ripeness_n of_o sin_n the_o corrupt_a branch_n the_o bitter_a fruit_n that_o come_v and_o be_v bring_v forth_o by_o he_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o word_n by_o the_o

if_o it_o have_v then_o make_v you_o fat_a and_o well_o like_v in_o grace_n that_o you_o have_v bring_v forth_o better_a fruit_n than_o you_o can_v before_o then_o certain_o the_o spirit_n come_v

where_o 2._o it_o come_v for_o where_o the_o spirit_n come_v it_o work_v a_o thorough_a change_n in_o the_o soul_n i_o call_v it_o not_o a_o bare_a change_n but_o a_o thorough_a change_n for_o as_o there_o may_v be_v a_o glister_a show_n of_o something_o that_o be_v like_o gold_n and_o yet_o no_o gold_n so_o there_o may_v be_v a_o cessation_n from_o sin_n and_o a_o change_n from_o sin_n but_o

by_o this_o if_o you_o find_v your_o own_o spirit_n dead_a in_o you_o and_o christ_n spirit_n quick_a and_o lively_a in_o you_o and_o this_o you_o shall_v know_v also_o by_o your_o affection_n if_o

such_o let_v they_o now_o humble_v themselves_o and_o seek_v the_o spirit_n with_o earnestness_n that_o you_o may_v be_v renew_v that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v and_o quicken_v to_o good_a and_o

teach_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o necessity_n lay_v upon_o they_o by_o god_n in_o the_o very_a instinct_n of_o nature_n so_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o christian_a it_o open_v another_o light_n in_o the_o mind_n which_o make_v they_o to_o do_v god_n will_v as_o he_o teach_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o i_o need_v not_o to_o teach_v you_o
