have_v sink_v into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n but_o i_o pray_v consider_v be_v this_o conviction_n from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n you_o have_v hear_v there_o may_v be_v a_o trouble_n for_o sin_n that_o may_v come_v from_o the_o evil_a spirit_n what_o be_v it_o any_o other_o but_o the_o conviction_n that_o may_v come_v from_o the_o evil_a spirit_n yes_o you_o will_v say_v i_o hope_v it_o be_v from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n for_o that_o you_o may_v consider_v those_o seven_o thing_n that_o be_v lay_v down_o to_o discover_v when_o sin_n be_v set_v home_o by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n you_o may_v consider_v of_o they_o at_o your_o leisure_n when_o you_o be_v in_o private_a between_o the_o lord_n and_o your_o own_o soul_n but_o let_v i_o only_o propound_v this_o one_o thing_n to_o you_o from_o they_o all_o you_o say_v you_o have_v be_v convince_v of_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n i_o pray_v mind_n it_o for_o it_o be_v that_o that_o do_v concern_v our_o everlasting_a state_n our_o eternal_a salvation_n for_o if_o the_o first_o step_n be_v not_o set_v towards_o our_o conversion_n than_o we_o can_v expect_v that_o the_o other_o step_n be_v set_v therefore_o i_o say_v you_o that_o say_v you_o hope_v you_o have_v be_v convince_v of_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n i_o pray_v consider_v how_o be_v your_o conviction_n heal_v how_o be_v your_o trouble_n take_v off_o consider_v of_o it_o between_o the_o lord_n and_o your_o own_o soul_n you_o be_v trouble_v for_o your_o sin_n once_o but_o how_o be_v it_o take_v off_o do_v it_o wither_v away_o by_o degree_n like_o a_o land-flood_n that_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n for_o a_o time_n but_o wear_v away_o by_o degree_n insensible_o be_v it_o so_o with_o you_o or_o be_v your_o trouble_n take_v off_o by_o make_v restitution_n give_v of_o satisfaction_n where_o you_o have_v wrong_v or_o be_v it_o by_o reformation_n and_o performance_n of_o duty_n and_o so_o obtain_v the_o life_n by_o your_o own_o hand_n as_o the_o prophet_n expression_n be_v or_o be_v it_o by_o make_v application_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o your_o soul_n in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n and_o believe_v be_v you_o bring_v to_o that_o true_o if_o not_o i_o can_v say_v but_o that_o your_o conviction_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v from_o the_o evil_a spirit_n therefore_o consider_v serious_o of_o it_o hereby_o we_o may_v come_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o discern_v about_o our_o spiritual_a estate_n whether_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n be_v effectual_o wrought_v or_o no_o consider_v whether_o this_o first_o step_n be_v set_v namely_o convince_v of_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o true_o if_o so_o be_v the_o holy_a spirit_n have_v convince_v you_o of_o sin_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o spirit_n will_v never_o leave_v till_o it_o have_v make_v through_o work_n say_v the_o apostle_n philip._n 1.6_o we_o be_v confident_a of_o this_o very_a thing_n that_o he_o that_o have_v begin_v a_o good_a work_n in_o you_o will_v certain_o finish_v it_o to_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o the_o holy_a spirit_n have_v begin_v to_o convince_v you_o of_o sin_n the_o spirit_n will_v go_v on_o to_o convince_v you_o of_o righteousness_n too_o that_o be_v the_o first_o word_n of_o application_n i_o have_v another_o and_o so_o have_v do_v 2._o it_o be_v to_o exhort_v and_o persuade_v you_o that_o if_o ever_o the_o work_n of_o conviction_n shall_v come_v upon_o your_o heart_n and_o spirit_n to_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o hinder_v it_o but_o further_o it_o what_o you_o can_v i_o confess_v it_o be_v irksome_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n our_o carnal_a heart_n can_v away_o with_o this_o work_n of_o conviction_n but_o will_v avoid_v it_o and_o escape_v it_o if_o possible_a but_o take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o hinder_v it_o but_o further_o it_o what_o you_o can_v because_o else_o if_o it_o be_v from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n you_o do_v resist_v the_o spirit_n and_o go_v about_o to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o you_o shall_v do_v even_o as_o old_a eli_n advise_v young_a samuel_n when_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o call_v he_o say_v eli_n when_o you_o hear_v the_o voice_n again_o say_v speak_v lord_n for_o thy_o servant_n desire_v to_o hear_v so_o i_o say_v to_o you_o do_v any_o word_n come_v to_o your_o heart_n and_o speak_v to_o your_o conscience_n in_o a_o way_n of_o conviction_n of_o sin_n do_v not_o drive_v it_o away_o do_v not_o quench_v it_o but_o say_v speak_v lord_n for_o thy_o servant_n desire_v to_o hear_v and_o now_o plead_v with_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o now_o rise_v up_o in_o your_o spirit_n against_o the_o instrument_n that_o be_v mean_n to_o convince_v you_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o but_o rather_o lie_v low_a before_o the_o lord_n and_o bless_v the_o lord_n that_o any_o word_n be_v speak_v to_o you_o by_o way_n of_o conviction_n and_o never_o leave_v till_o such_o time_n as_o you_o come_v to_o rest_v upon_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o upon_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n whereby_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o poor_a sinner_n i_o say_v do_v not_o neglect_v do_v not_o slight_a or_o despise_v or_o quench_v or_o check_v this_o work_n of_o conviction_n and_o so_o now_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o point_n the_o next_o point_n be_v concern_v the_o spirit_n convince_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o on_o i_o but_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o this_o time_n the_o holy_a ghost_n convince_v of_o sin_n sermon_n vi._n john_n 16.9_o of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o on_o i_o we_o have_v already_o handle_v one_o point_n from_o these_o word_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o heart_n in_o order_n to_o conversion_n be_v to_o convince_v the_o soul_n of_o sin_n christ_n say_v here_o that_o he_o will_v send_v the_o spirit_n after_o his_o departure_n from_o they_o say_v he_o i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n and_o this_o he_o speak_v to_o support_v and_o comfort_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o disciple_n against_o his_o absence_n and_o therefore_o the_o end_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v to_o cooperate_v with_o their_o ministry_n it_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o their_o comfort_n now_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o at_o large_a before_o but_o now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o second_o note_n or_o point_n which_o do_v plain_o lie_v before_o we_o which_o i_o shall_v desire_v to_o speak_v something_o to_o at_o present_a and_o that_o be_v this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o great_a and_o special_a sin_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v usual_o convince_v people_n of_o in_o order_n to_o their_o conversion_n be_v their_o unbelief_n not_o believe_v on_o christ_n for_o so_o say_v christ_n here_o he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n of_o what_o sin_n he_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o unbelief_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o on_o i_o that_o be_v the_o great_a and_o special_a sin_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o convince_v people_n of_o in_o order_n to_o their_o salvation_n namely_o their_o unbelief_n it_o be_v indeed_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o convince_v of_o other_o sin_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o but_o yet_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o convince_v of_o this_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n he_o be_v say_v so_o to_o convince_v of_o this_o sin_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o sin_n to_o be_v convince_v off_o he_o mention_n not_o other_o sin_n but_o he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o on_o i_o and_o this_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o part_n verify_v present_o after_o christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n in_o a_o few_o day_n after_o christ_n ascension_n into_o heaven_n he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n act_v 2._o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v pour_v down_o abundant_o upon_o the_o disciple_n when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o thereupon_o peter_n preach_v a_o sermon_n to_o the_o people_n that_o come_v wonder_v about_o he_o and_o now_o peter_n have_v experience_n of_o what_o christ_n here_o promise_v say_v christ_n i_o will_v send_v the_o spirit_n and_o he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n by_o your_o ministry_n and_o at_o peter_n sermon_n there_o be_v three_o thou-convinced_n at_o one_o clap_n they_o be_v convince_v of_o sin_n not_o only_o of_o their_o not_o believe_v on_o christ_n but_o of_o their_o murder_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o have_v crucify_a
personal_a righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n brethren_n this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o discover_v and_o reveal_v this_o to_o the_o soul_n that_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o poor_a sinner_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o 2_o cor._n 5.21_o well_o this_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v discover_v and_o reveal_v to_o the_o soul_n when_o he_o come_v to_o convince_v it_o of_o righteousness_n nay_o and_o let_v i_o add_v further_o concern_v this_o righteousness_n namely_o the_o spirit_n do_v discover_v to_o the_o soul_n the_o way_n whereby_o he_o may_v come_v to_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o this_o righteousness_n the_o spirit_n do_v discover_v that_o to_o the_o soul_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n and_o believe_v and_o lean_v and_o rest_v upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v rom._n 10.4_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o discover_v this_o to_o the_o soul_n when_o he_o come_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o soul_n to_o convince_v it_o of_o righteousness_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o the_o spirit_n do_v first_o it_o take_v we_o off_o from_o our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o then_o it_o reveal_v and_o discover_v to_o the_o soul_n this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n what_o it_o be_v and_o which_o way_n it_o be_v to_o be_v attain_v but_o then_o 3._o a_o three_o work_n that_o the_o spirit_n do_v which_o be_v the_o upshot_n of_o all_o and_o that_o be_v this_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v to_o convince_v a_o soul_n of_o righteousness_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n then_o the_o spirit_n do_v convince_v powerful_o and_o effectual_o that_o be_v the_o spirit_n come_v powerful_o and_o persuade_v the_o soul_n to_o close_v with_o this_o righteousness_n this_o be_v to_o convince_v of_o righteousness_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n so_o to_o convince_v as_o to_o persuade_v and_o prevail_v with_o the_o soul_n to_o venture_v to_o close_v with_o it_o this_o be_v the_o way_n whereby_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n righteousness_n by_o faith_n and_o believe_v on_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o to_o convince_v so_o powerful_o so_o as_o to_o prevail_v with_o the_o soul_n to_o give_v the_o venture_n well_o i_o will_v venture_v my_o soul_n upon_o it_o if_o i_o perish_v i_o perish_v i_o will_v venture_v my_o soul_n upon_o this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o spirit_n secret_o persuade_v the_o heart_n so_o as_o now_o the_o soul_n be_v make_v to_o say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n psal_n 71.16_o i_o will_v go_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n i_o will_v make_v mention_n of_o thy_o righteousness_n even_o of_o thy_o only_a when_o the_o spirit_n come_v thus_o to_o convince_v effectual_o so_o as_o to_o persuade_v the_o soul_n to_o venture_v to_o lean_v upon_o christ_n righteousness_n only_o to_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n to_o salvation_n than_o the_o soul_n do_v make_v mention_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o that_o only_o well_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o rest_v upon_o that_o alone_a and_o then_o sure_o shall_v one_o say_v in_o the_o lord_n have_v i_o righteousness_n and_o strength_n than_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o say_v there_o be_v all_o my_o righteousness_n i_o have_v none_o of_o my_o own_o that_o i_o dare_v venture_v on_o but_o i_o do_v now_o venture_v to_o lean_v the_o weight_n of_o my_o soul_n upon_o this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o i_o perish_v i_o perish_v this_o be_v now_o the_o convince_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o convince_v of_o righteousness_n so_o now_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o point_n brief_o open_v namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n to_o convince_v the_o soul_n of_o righteousness_n now_o then_o brief_o for_o the_o application_n of_o it_o in_o a_o word_n application_n here_o than_o we_o may_v come_v to_o understand_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o spirit_n have_v be_v at_o work_n upon_o our_o soul_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n it_o be_v a_o great_a question_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v think_v it_o so_o when_o you_o come_v to_o lie_v upon_o your_o deathbed_n whether_o for_o no_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v be_v at_o work_n upon_o my_o heart_n in_o order_n to_o my_o salvation_n well_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n to_o convince_v of_o sin_n and_o to_o convince_v of_o righteousness_n then_o consider_v i_o pray_v consider_v serious_o between_o the_o lord_n and_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o let_v we_o not_o willing_o deceive_v our_o own_o soul_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n ever_o be_v thus_o at_o work_n upon_o my_o heart_n have_v the_o spirit_n ever_o come_v and_o convince_v i_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o righteousness_n for_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v ever_o convince_v you_o of_o sin_n in_o order_n to_o your_o salvation_n it_o will_v go_v on_o also_o in_o the_o work_n of_o conviction_n to_o convince_v also_o of_o righteousness_n therefore_o i_o say_v i_o pray_v consider_v of_o it_o serious_o objection_n you_o will_v say_v well_o i_o hope_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v at_o work_n upon_o my_o heart_n i_o hope_v i_o can_v say_v my_o heart_n have_v be_v deep_o trouble_v about_o my_o sin_n and_o i_o have_v go_v and_o confess_v my_o sin_n unto_o god_n and_o i_o have_v beg_v earnest_o in_o prayer_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o my_o sin_n answer_n well_o a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n may_v do_v all_o this_o and_o yet_o come_v short_a of_o this_o convince_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n therefore_o consider_v further_o i_o pray_v for_o as_o you_o hear_v the_o last_o time_n usual_o when_o the_o spirit_n do_v convince_v of_o sin_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n it_o convince_v the_o soul_n especial_o of_o unbelief_n and_o indeed_o till_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n his_o conviction_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v no_o argument_n to_o he_o that_o the_o spirit_n have_v be_v at_o work_n upon_o his_o heart_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n indeed_o when_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o that_o discovery_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v convince_v of_o the_o evil_a of_o unbelief_n than_o there_o be_v the_o great_a hope_n that_o such_o a_o soul_n be_v not_o like_a to_o miscarry_v for_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n never_o convince_v a_o soul_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o unbelief_n but_o it_o be_v in_o order_n to_o his_o salvation_n you_o shall_v never_o have_v a_o carnal_a heart_n to_o understand_v the_o evil_n of_o unbelief_n that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o consider_v i_o pray_v have_v the_o lord_n discover_v to_o you_o and_o convince_v you_o of_o sin_n especial_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n objection_n you_o will_v say_v possible_o i_o hope_v the_o spirit_n have_v be_v at_o work_n upon_o my_o heart_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n for_o i_o know_v thus_o much_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o without_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n i_o can_v never_o be_v save_v i_o can_v never_o be_v save_v by_o my_o own_o righteousness_n i_o know_v that_o and_o i_o know_v that_o i_o must_v have_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o i_o by_o faith_n or_o i_o can_v be_v save_v answer_n but_o brethren_n i_o pray_v consider_v of_o it_o for_o here_o may_v be_v only_o a_o mere_a notional_a knowledge_n a_o mere_a conviction_n in_o the_o notion_n only_o you_o may_v be_v convince_v that_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o by_o christ_n a_o man_n or_o woman_n may_v be_v convince_v of_o this_o notional_o he_o may_v have_v this_o knowledge_n in_o his_o head_n that_o the_o only_a way_n whereby_o i_o must_v attain_v to_o salvation_n must_v be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o believe_v on_o christ_n but_o i_o pray_v consider_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v thorough_o convince_v you_o of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n question_n you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o answer_n brief_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v convince_v a_o soul_n of_o righteousness_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n it_o do_v as_o you_o hear_v take_v a_o soul_n

from_o a_o evil_a spirit_n indeed_o and_o now_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v drive_v away_o by_o a_o fit_a of_o music_n sometime_o again_o you_o may_v be_v free_a from_o this_o trouble_n of_o spirit_n

sometime_o they_o will_v ease_v themselves_o of_o their_o trouble_n by_o performance_n of_o duty_n and_o by_o the_o reformation_n of_o their_o life_n we_o read_v of_o herod_n he_o be_v convince_v of_o

and_o thereupon_o he_o go_v to_o hear_v john_n preach_v and_o it_o be_v say_v he_o reform_v many_o thing_n he_o set_v upon_o a_o work_n of_o reformation_n mark_v 6.12_o he_o hear_v john_n baptist_n glad_o and_o do_v many_o thing_n etc._n etc._n and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o his_o trouble_n now_o i_o say_v this_o be_v that_o i_o bring_v it_o for_o to_o show_v you_o that_o trouble_n about_o sin_n that_o come_v from_o the_o evil_a spirit_n common_o it_o be_v heal_v and_o cure_v by_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v not_o the_o right_a mean_n for_o the_o cure_n whereas_o now_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v never_o be_v cure_v but_o by_o the_o same_o hand_n that_o wound_v it_o it_o will_v never_o be_v cure_v but_o by_o the_o right_a plaster_n the_o right_a ●alve_n without_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n apply_v by_o faith_n the_o soul_n will_v never_o be_v cure_v i_o remember_v a_o story_n of_o mr._n bilney_n that_o be_v burn_v here_o at_o lollard_n pit_n without_o bishop_n gate_n he_o tell_v a_o story_n of_o himself_o and_o mr._n latimer_n this_o mr._n latimer_n be_v a_o young_a man_n a_o man_n of_o very_o pregnant_a part_n but_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n now_o mr._n bilney_n think_v to_o circumvent_v mr._n latimer_n and_o to_o gain_v he_o by_o a_o wile_n and_o so_o he_o go_v to_o mr._n latimer_n pretend_v himself_o a_o papist_n he_o will_v make_v mr._n latimer_n his_o confessor_n so_o he_o go_v and_o confess_v himself_o to_o he_o and_o there_o he_o tell_v he_o how_o he_o have_v be_v trouble_v in_o mind_n about_o his_o sin_n and_o so_o trouble_v say_v he_o that_o i_o can_v find_v no_o rest_n nor_o peace_n till_o i_o come_v to_o the_o right_a cure_n i_o be_v set_v say_v he_o to_o go_v a_o pilgrimage_n to_o such_o a_o place_n but_o my_o trouble_n continue_v and_o i_o be_v set_v to_o do_v such_o a_o penance_n and_o my_o trouble_n still_o continue_v till_o such_o time_n as_o i_o read_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n 1_o tim._n 1.15_o that_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n whereof_o i_o be_o chief_a and_o say_v he_o when_o that_o be_v set_v home_o upon_o i_o than_o i_o be_v quiet_a and_o free_a from_o my_o trouble_n true_o so_o it_o will_v be_v a_o soul_n will_v never_o come_v to_o a_o right_a cure_n till_o such_o time_n as_o it_o come_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n apply_v to_o the_o soul_n by_o faith_n the_o soul_n will_v never_o come_v to_o any_o true_a peace_n or_o comfort_n and_o thus_o now_o you_o have_v see_v some_o difference_n between_o the_o trouble_n of_o a_o soul_n about_o sin_n that_o come_v from_o the_o evil_a spirit_n and_o the_o convince_a of_o a_o soul_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n so_o now_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o three_o thing_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o convince_v a_o soul_n of_o sin_n in_o order_n to_o conversion_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o remain_v and_o i_o shall_v brief_o draw_v to_o a_o end_n 4._o and_o that_o be_v to_o show_v you_o that_o as_o convince_v of_o sin_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o also_o it_o be_v the_o
