do_v not_o object_n christ_n have_v promise_v to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v send_v

that_o deny_v some_o scripture_n must_v by_o the_o same_o ground_n deny_v all_o and_o if_o one_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o truth_n to_o i_o and_o to_o be_v receive_v in_o any_o practice_n how_o can_v i_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o another_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o those_o that_o will_v believe_v but_o on_o that_o scripture_n which_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o believe_v reject_v the_o rest_n do_v not_o right_o believe_v any_o there_o be_v the_o same_o ground_n to_o believe_v all_o as_o to_o the_o believe_v one_o 2_o pet._n 1.20_o 21._o 2_o i_o answer_v if_o you_o do_v indeed_o believe_v these_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o truth_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o you_o will_v anon_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n these_o be_v open_v in_o compare_v they_o with_o other_o scripture_n first_o christ_n promise_v to_o find_v his_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a promise_n make_v to_o the_o apostle_n most_o principal_o and_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o all_o the_o saint_n two_o thing_n here_o mention_v in_o this_o scripture_n be_v most_o principal_o to_o the_o apostle_n 1_o that_o be_v mention_v be_v the_o first_o he_o shall_v bring_v all_o thing_n to_o your_o remembrance_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v say_v unto_o you_o note_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v with_o he_o see_v his_o miracle_n hear_v his_o word_n but_o now_o when_o christ_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n he_o will_v send_v his_o spirit_n which_o shall_v bring_v all_o thing_n that_o christ_n speak_v or_o do_v necessary_a to_o be_v be_v remember_v for_o our_o information_n and_o consolation_n to_o their_o remembrance_n that_o they_o may_v leave_v it_o upon_o record_n to_o future_a generation_n and_o this_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n proper_o belong_v to_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v both_o eye_n and_o ear_n witness_n of_o all_o he_o do_v or_o spake_v and_o this_o may_v confirm_v we_o admirable_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v you_o see_v write_v by_o the_o immediate_a inspiration_n of_o that_o spirit_n of_o promise_n bring_v it_o to_o the_o remembrance_n of_o those_o that_o write_v it_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n serve_v to_o destroy_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o second_o thing_n promise_v be_v that_o it_o shall_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n note_v here_o also_o a_o admirable_a word_n christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o that_o spirit_n he_o will_v send_v they_o shall_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v all_o thing_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o make_v know_v to_o man_n for_o their_o rule_n and_o direction_n in_o this_o life_n and_o this_o without_o question_n christ_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o make_v good_a to_o his_o disciple_n therefore_o i_o hope_v this_o do_v not_o serve_v to_o destroy_v scripture_n but_o to_o confirm_v it_o abundant_o for_o if_o christ_n do_v as_o without_o question_n it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v he_o do_v not_o teach_v his_o disciple_n all_o thing_n then_o be_v the_o rule_v prescribe_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o epistle_n true_a and_o perfect_a rule_n and_o you_o and_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o duty_n as_o we_o will_v approve_v ourselves_o christian_n to_o submit_v unto_o they_o to_o receive_v they_o as_o the_o holy_a promise_a truth_n of_o god_n object_n but_o christ_n make_v this_o promise_n not_o only_o to_o the_o disciple_n but_o to_o all_o the_o saint_n also_o for_o all_o scripture_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n etc._n etc._n ans_fw-fr true_o but_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v to_o the_o disciple_n that_o they_o may_v leave_v we_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n from_o himself_o and_o in_o this_o there_o be_v much_o comfort_n for_o the_o saint_n that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o scripture_n truth_n and_o all_o truth_n needful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o know_v and_o second_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v good_a to_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o its_o measure_n god_n give_v they_o his_o spirit_n to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2_o tim._n 3.16_o 17._o all_o scripture_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n and_o

these_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n 1_o those_o that_o do_v not_o right_o divide_v between_o law_n and_o gospel_n between_o legal_a rule_n and_o gospel_n rule_v 2_o those_o that_o instead_o of_o

that_o do_v not_o right_o divide_v between_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o of_o these_o there_o be_v both_o minister_n and_o people_n not_o right_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v timothy_n 1_o tim._n 2.15_o and_o this_o be_v ignorance_n which_o remain_v to_o this_o day_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o who_o i_o question_v not_o for_o their_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n yet_o god_n have_v not_o teach_v they_o to_o this_o day_n that_o clear_a difference_n between_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o the_o ignorance_n of_o these_o man_n consist_v principal_o under_o

through_o believe_v the_o second_o be_v in_o expect_v that_o from_o those_o who_o indeed_o false_o have_v appropriate_v that_o title_n of_o priest_n to_o themselves_o which_o they_o be_v to_o expect_v from_o christ_n as_o namely_o teach_v o_o how_o have_v those_o man_n be_v and_o still_o be_v to_o this_o day_n set_v up_o as_o christ_n among_o many_o people_n make_v their_o word_n their_o rule_n as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a such_o learned_a man_n may_v err_v and_o i_o conceive_v it_o arise_v partly_o from_o the_o misunderderstanding_n of_o that_o scripture_n mal._n 2.7_o the_o
