you_o know_v that_o the_o word_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o work_v new_a habit_n and_o quality_n in_o we_o to_o call_v we_o and_o beget_v we_o unto_o christ._n and_o if_o the_o spirit_n shall_v

if_o the_o spirit_n be_v nor_o join_v with_o it_o it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v pray_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v if_o you_o pray_v not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n you_o will_v never_o obtain_v grace_n or_o sanctification_n the_o spirit_n be_v unto_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n as_o rain_n be_v unto_o the_o plant_n rain_n make_v plant_n to_o thrive_v and_o grow_v so_o the_o spirit_n make_v the_o inward_a man_n to_o grow_v in_o holiness_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n that_o god_n make_v unto_o his_o church_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o will_v pour_v water_n upon_o the_o dry_a ground_n the_o heart_n that_o before_o be_v barren_a in_o grace_n and_o holiness_n shall_v now_o spring_v up_o in_o

this_o stand_v thus_o if_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n than_o use_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o whosoever_o have_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o this_o strength_n and_o whatsoever_o strength_n a_o man_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v unto_o himself_o if_o it_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o true_a strength_n but_o a_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a strength_n for_o a_o man_n may_v thus_o argue_v from_o the_o cause_n unto_o the_o effect_n the_o true_a cause_n of_o strength_n must_v needs_o bring_v forth_o strong_a effect_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o which_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o strength_n can_v bring_v forth_o the_o effect_n of_o strength_n so_o i_o may_v reason_n that_o no_o natural_a strength_n can_v bring_v forth_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n because_o it_o want_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o strength_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v have_v a_o flash_n or_o a_o seem_a power_n of_o strength_n such_o as_o the_o virgin_n have_v matth._n 25._o 25._o that_o seem_v to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o inward_a man_n but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o feign_a

they_o and_o again_o as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o it_o stand_v you_o upon_o to_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o above_o all_o place_n there_o be_v two_o place_n which_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o one_o be_v this_o place_n which_o be_v my_o text_n that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o place_n which_o saint_n john_n have_v in_o 1_o john_n 3._o 14._o by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n unto_o life_n because_o we_o 14._o love_v the_o brethren_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n to_o judge_v of_o your_o spiritual_a strength_n by_o your_o love_n if_o we_o be_v unite_v in_o the_o bond_n of_o love_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v translate_v that_o be_v change_v so_o that_o you_o must_v be_v changeling_n from_o sin_n to_o grace_n before_o you_o can_v be_v save_v examine_v therefore_o what_o effectual_a spiritual_a strength_n you_o have_v what_o spiritual_a love_n there_o be_v among_o you_o and_o so_o according_o you_n may_v judge_v of_o your_o estate_n whether_o you_o have_v any_o right_a or_o interest_n unto_o christ_n and_o that_o i_o may_v help_v you_o in_o this_o thing_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o some_o sign_n by_o which_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o first_o sign_n whereby_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n or_o no_o be_v this_o sign_n if_o you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n you_o will_v be_v full_a of_o fire_n that_o be_v it_o will_v fill_v you_o with_o spiritual_a heat_n and_o zeal_n now_o if_o you_o find_v this_o in_o you_o than_o it_o be_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o john_n say_v of_o christ_n matth._n 3._o 11._o that_o he_o will_v baptize_v they_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v he_o will_v baptize_v 11._o you_o with_o that_o spirit_n who_o nature_n be_v as_o fire_n that_o will_v fill_v you_o full_a of_o spiritual_a heat_n and_o zeal_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v act._n 2._o 3._o that_o they_o have_v tongue_n as_o of_o fire_n and_o again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o apostle_n 3._o be_v stir_v up_o with_o boldness_n to_o speak_v that_o be_v when_o they_o see_v god_n dishonour_v this_o spirit_n kindle_v a_o holy_a zeal_n in_o they_o it_o set_v their_o heart_n on_o fire_n it_o set_v their_o tongue_n on_o fire_n so_o when_o the_o spirit_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o christian_a it_o will_v fill_v it_o full_a of_o heat_n and_o zeal_n the_o heart_n the_o tongue_n the_o hand_n the_o foot_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o part_n will_v be_v full_a of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v have_v true_a zeal_n except_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n they_o speak_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o zeal_n of_o another_o nature_n and_o quality_n than_o they_o do_v before_o well_o then_o examine_v what_o heat_n and_o zeal_n you_o have_v in_o your_o action_n so_o much_o heat_n so_o much_o spirit_n he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n if_o you_o have_v the_o sanctify_a spirit_n you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o zeal_n that_o be_v in_o you_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n therefore_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o excellent_a sign_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n
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

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

the_o strength_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n which_o be_v of_o a_o immortal_a substance_n that_o will_v never_o fade_v nor_o perish_v in_o the_o use_n you_o have_v build_v a_o temple_n here_o which_o

he_o shall_v say_v if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o will_v strengthen_v you_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n hence_o note_v this_o point_n that_o whatsoever_o save_v or_o sanctify_a grace_n or_o strength_n of_o grace_n every_o man_n have_v it_o all_o proceed_v from_o doctrine_n the_o sanctify_a spirit_n i_o say_v all_o the_o save_a grace_n all_o strength_n of_o grace_n come_v from_o the_o spirit_n yet_o do_v not_o mistake_v i_o as_o if_o i_o do_v exclude_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n for_o they_o work_v together_o in_o every_o act_n the_o father_n work_v not_o without_o the_o son_n the_o son_n work_v not_o without_o the_o father_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n work_v not_o without_o the_o spirit_n neither_o do_v the_o spirit_n work_v without_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n for_o what_o one_o do_v all_o do_v but_o i_o ascribe_v the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n unto_o the_o spirit_n because_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o sanctify_v and_o he_o be_v the_o strengthner_n of_o all_o grace_n that_o be_v all_o grace_n come_v from_o the_o father_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o then_o throùgh_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n therefore_o these_o three_o distinction_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v good_a the_o father_n be_v of_o himself_o the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o be_v send_v unto_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n to_o work_v grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o they_o and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o only_a worker_n and_o strengthner_n of_o grace_n because_o proceed_v from_o such_o a_o holy_a fountain_n as_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v he_o must_v needs_o be_v holy_a and_o the_o way_n to_o get_v sanctification_n and_o holiness_n be_v to_o get_v the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o in_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v send_v to_o sanctify_v two_o thing_n be_v require_v first_o he_o that_o be_v send_v to_o sanctify_v must_v proceed_v from_o a_o holy_a fountain_n but_o the_o spirit_n do_v proceed_v from_o a_o most_o holy_a and_o pure_a god_n therefore_o it_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o holy_a work_n that_o he_o work_v second_o the_o second_o thing_n require_v in_o he_o that_o be_v send_v to_o sanctify_v be_v this_o that_o he_o subsist_v in_o sanctification_n that_o be_v that_o he_o depend_v not_o upon_o another_o for_o sanctification_n but_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o sanctify_v himself_o now_o this_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o be_v sanctification_n and_o holiness_n itself_o that_o be_v subsist_v in_o sanctification_n and_o abound_v in_o holiness_n and_o therefore_o able_a to_o strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n but_o that_o you_o may_v more_o full_o understand_v this_o point_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o the_o spirit_n strengthen_v the_o inward_a man_n and_o work_v holiness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v in_o four_o thing_n the_o first_o way_n how_o the_o spirit_n strengthen_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v this_o by_o give_v unto_o the_o soul_n a_o effectual_a worke._n operative_a and_o powerful_a faculty_n and_o that_o be_v do_v by_o rear_v the_o inward_a man_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o set_v up_o the_o build_n of_o grace_n and_o this_o he_o do_v by_o shed_v abroad_o in_o the_o heart_n the_o bless_a effect_n of_o grace_n unto_o every_o faculty_n as_o the_o blood_n be_v infuse_v into_o every_o vein_n or_o as_o the_o soul_n go_v through_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o give_v life_n unto_o it_o so_o do_v the_o spirit_n go_v through_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o infuse_v spiritual_a life_n and_o power_n into_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o eph._n 1._o his_o effectual_a power_n that_o be_v he_o have_v such_o efficacy_n in_o work_v that_o he_o infuse_v spiritual_a life_n unto_o the_o whole_a soul_n the_o second_o way_n how_o the_o spirit_n strengthen_v worke._n grace_n be_v this_o when_o he_o have_v set_v up_o the_o building_n and_o sweep_v every_o corner_n of_o the_o soul_n than_o he_o enable_v the_o soul_n to_o do_v more_o than_o it_o can_v do_v by_o nature_n by_o put_v new_a habit_n and_o quality_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o first_o when_o a_o man_n can_v do_v more_o than_o a_o natural_a man_n can_v do_v by_o nature_n than_o the_o spirit_n have_v add_v new_a habit_n as_o for_o example_n any_o hand_n can_v cut_v with_o a_o chissell_n or_o the_o like_a instrument_n but_o if_o he_o can_v by_o it_o make_v a_o picture_n this_o be_v a_o work_n above_o nature_n because_o no_o man_n can_v do_v it_o unless_o he_o have_v be_v reach_v it_o so_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n than_o it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o do_v more_o then_o natural_o he_o can_v do_v water_n you_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v cold_a but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o of_o another_o quality_n than_o you_o must_v put_v a_o quality_n of_o fire_n into_o it_o so_o the_o soul_n be_v dead_a and_o cold_a by_o nature_n but_o if_o a_o quality_n of_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v add_v unto_o it_o than_o it_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o it_o natural_o can_v do_v therefore_o examine_v what_o new_a habit_n and_o quality_n be_v in_o you_o whether_o you_o have_v a_o new_a habit_n of_o patience_n love_n hope_v and_o experience_n that_o be_v as_o patience_n beget_v experience_n and_o experience_n hope_v so_o where_o the_o spirit_n be_v it_o do_v beget_v new_a habit_n and_o quality_n in_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o it_o be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o then_o natural_o it_o can_v do_v as_o i_o say_v it_o first_o build_v the_o house_n and_o sweep_v the_o room_n and_o then_o it_o fit_v and_o furnish_v the_o room_n with_o new_a habit_n and_o quality_n of_o grace_n the_o three_o way_n how_o the_o spirit_n strengthen_v worke._n grace_n be_v this_o when_o it_o have_v give_v we_o new_a habit_n than_o it_o enable_v and_o help_v we_o to_o use_v these_o habit_n to_o good_a and_o herein_o

strengthen_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n there_o may_v be_v quality_n and_o habit_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o yet_o want_v power_n to_o use_v they_o as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n that_o be_v asleep_a he_o have_v habit_n and_o quality_n but_o he_o want_v power_n to_o use_v they_o or_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o instrument_n that_o will_v sound_v well_o but_o he_o want_v skill_n to_o use_v it_o so_o many_o man_n they_o have_v habit_n and_o quality_n but_o because_o they_o want_v power_n to_o use_v they_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o strengthen_v in_o the_o inward_a man_n but_o he_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n have_v withal_o power_n to_o use_v those_o habit_n to_o good_a therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n that_o be_v

yet_o now_o and_o then_o for_o the_o present_a want_n action_n you_o may_v want_v a_o power_n to_o do_v aught_o with_o it_o and_o it_o be_v then_o when_o the_o spirit_n seem_v to_o absent_v himself_o

if_o you_o will_v have_v christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n then_o labour_v to_o get_v holiness_n the_o four_o sign_n whereby_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o sign_n you_o have_v the_o spirit_n or_o no_o be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o common_a spirit_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o will_v do_v by_o you_o as_o the_o angel_n do_v by_o assume_v body_n they_o take_v they_o up_o for_o a_o time_n

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
