man_n be_v so_o perfect_a as_o can_v be_v in_o this_o sinful_a life_n put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o it_o be_v as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v say_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o despise_v of_o prophesy_v neither_o despise_v prophesy_v because_o all_o do_v not_o preach_v alike_o but_o rather_o when_o you_o hear_v some_o preach_v one_o way_n and_o some_o another_o way_n do_v you_o try_v

truth_n that_o thou_o abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o error_n so_o zealous_a the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v we_o of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o set_v no_o atticle_n upon_o our_o

vain_a word_n and_o every_o wicked_a deed_n be_v like_o so_o many_o drop_n to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o business_n of_o this_o world_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o care_n of_o the_o mind_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o long_a delay_n that_o be_v not_o apply_v the_o motion_n when_o it_o come_v but_o cross_v the_o good_a thought_n with_o bad_a thought_n and_o do_v a_o thing_n when_o the_o spirit_n say_v do_v it_o not_o sometime_n a_o man_n shall_v feel_v himself_o stir_v to_o a_o good_a

again_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v grieve_v not_o the_o spirit_n show_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v often_o grieve_a before_o it_o be_v quench_v and_o that_o when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o

the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n no_o man_n say_v paul_n can_v say_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o lord_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n again_o the_o spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n the_o same_o spirit_n bear_v witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n it_o be_v he_o that_o lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o open_v our_o heart_n to_o understand_v and_o guide_v our_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n o_o despise_v not_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o spirit_n refuse_v not_o his_o help_n but_o seek_v it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v strengthen_v comfort_v yourselves_o in_o his_o testimony_n of_o your_o adoption_n quench_v not_o the_o light_n he_o have_v kindle_v in_o your_o heart_n disdain_v not_o his_o lead_n abuse_v not_o his_o mercy_n abuse_v not_o the_o time_n of_o your_o visitation_n let_v not_o so_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n bestow_v on_o you_o be_v in_o vain_a fulfil_v not_o your_o own_o will_n abstain_v from_o fleshly_a joust_n walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n desire_n the_o best_a gift_n and_o let_v every_o man_n as_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n so_o minister_v the_o same_o to_o another_o as_o good_a disposer_n of_o the_o manifold_a grace_n of_o god_n despise_v not_o prophesy_v this_o admonition_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o the_o former_a for_o by_o prophesy_v the_o spirit_n be_v kindle_v and_o without_o prophesy_v the_o spirit_n be_v quench_v and_o therefore_o after_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n say_v paul_n show_v that_o as_o our_o sin_n do_v quench_v the_o spirit_n so_o prophesy_v do_v kindle_v it_o this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o disciple_n that_o go_v to_o emaus_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v when_o christ_n preach_v unto_o they_o out_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n the_o spirit_n be_v so_o kindle_v with_o his_o preach_n that_o their_o heart_n wax_v hot_a within_o they_o this_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o kindle_v and_o reviue_v and_o refresh_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o the_o word_n be_v call_v the_o food_n of_o

thou_o believe_v error_n for_o truth_n for_o as_o among_o ruler_n there_o be_v bad_a ruler_n so_o among_o preacher_n there_o be_v false_a preacher_n this_o make_v christ_n warn_v his_o disciple_n to_o

the_o way_n which_o paul_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o try_v other_o whereby_o he_o be_v try_v himself_o thereby_o you_o may_v see_v that_o if_o you_o use_v to_o read_v the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o try_v all_o doctrine_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o touchstone_n of_o every_o doubt_n like_o the_o light_n which_o god_n make_v to_o behold_v all_o his_o creature_n so_o

there_o be_v none_o can_v attain_v to_o find_v this_o way_n and_o walk_v in_o it_o but_o the_o renew_a and_o the_o regenerate_a man_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o natural_a man_n

be_v use_v in_o adam_n time_n that_o be_v in_o the_o image_n and_o fashion_n wherein_o we_o be_v create_v at_o the_o first_o now_o the_o reason_n follow_v what_o benefit_n the_o renew_a mind_n have_v that_o be_v you_o may_v prove_v what_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o your_o regeneration_n when_o your_o mind_n be_v renew_a you_o shall_v

of_o the_o word_n the_o second_o point_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v plain_a when_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v all_o the_o word_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v plain_a and_o easy_a to_o
