like_o the_o merchant_n ship_n fetch_v its_o good_n from_o far_a even_o from_o jesus_n at_o the_o right-hand_n of_o the_o father_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o tabernacle_n within_o than_o to_o go_v out_o

of_o saving-faith_n 2._o to_o over-turn_a the_o faith_n of_o assurance_n or_o to_o set_v up_o one_o that_o be_v not_o know_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o can_v be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o

accept_v of_o and_o lean_v on_o christ_n as_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n i_o must_v confess_v the_o new_a coin_a faith_n of_o assurance_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v to_o wie_a that_o it_o be_v when_o a_o christian_a can_v find_v such_o and_o such_o mark_n in_o himself_o and_o these_o in_o sincerity_n then_o he_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o salvation_n and_o this_o without_o any_o

be_v my_o argument_n against_o it_o arg._n 1._o the_o object_n of_o saving-faith_n be_v christ_n once_o crucify_a now_o at_o the_o father_n right-hand_n but_o this_o sort_n of_o faith_n of_o

and_o denomination_n from_o as_o reflect_v act_n of_o faith_n yet_o a_o reflect_v act_n of_o faith_n be_v but_o a_o repercussion_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o that_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o a_o direct_a act_n of_o faith_n so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a mark_n and_o sign_n without_o faith_n in_o that_o moment_n exercise_v he_o that_o do_v truth_n come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o his_o deed_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v wrought_v of_o god_n joh._n 3._o 21._o so_o then_o they_o that_o bid_v people_n try_v their_o faith_n by_o look_v within_o and_o not_o bid_v they_o at_o that_o time_n look_v to_o christ_n and_o that_o first_o put_v they_o in_o my_o judgement_n upon_o a_o impossible_a test_n arg._n 3._o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o real_a mark_n and_o

ten_o time_n more_o difficult_a and_o perplex_v to_o the_o soul_n gospel-sincerity_n i_o find_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v this_o viz._n to_o mix_v nothing_o with_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n in_o our_o justification_n 〈◊〉_d and_o to_o have_v right_a principle_n mean_n aim_n and_o end_n in_o carry_v of_o sanctification_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 4_o 5._o comp_n together_o arg._n 4._o they_o that_o will_v examine_v their_o faith_n whether_o it_o be_v sincere_a by_o mark_n and_o sign_n without_o faith_n in_o the_o exercise_n must_v have_v a_o second_o mark_v to_o know_v the_o first_o a_o third_z to_o prove_v the_o second_o and_o a_o four_o to_o prove_v the_o three_o and_o so_o ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la hence_o it_o be_v that_o poor_a soul_n be_v quite_o be_v wilder_v to_o bring_v the_o matter_n to_o a_o determinate_a issue_n so_o that_o despair_v of_o make_v their_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a they_o content_v themselves_o with_o lazy_a faint_a and_o languid_a hope_n which_o have_v no_o good_a bottom_n or_o else_o what_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o they_o embrace_v a_o cloud_n instead_o of_o this_o assurance_n i_o shall_v humble_o offer_v my_o judgement_n of_o faith_n of_o assurance_n as_o i_o find_v it_o in_o scripture_n 1._o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o when_o we_o sensible_o feel_v our_o inward_a grace_n shine_v in_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n we_o may_v from_o thence_o together_o with_o the_o evidence_n of_o faith_n infer_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o believe_v as_o when_o we_o sensible_o perceive_v our_o love_n to_o christ_n flow_v from_o our_o faith_n in_o he_o we_o may_v thence_o conclude_v we_o have_v the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_n and_o so_o of_o other_o grace_n but_o perhaps_o this_o be_v but_o seldom_o the_o frame_n of_o a_o believer_n spirit_n and_o yet_o he_o ought_v when_o he_o walk_v in_o the_o dark_a to_o hold_v fast_o his_o confidence_n therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o that_o be_v true_a assurance_n though_o not_o so_o high_a and_o so_o sensible_a as_o this_o and_o one_a i_o find_v in_o scripture_n it_o be_v a_o strong_a and_o constant_a reliance_n upon_o the_o ability_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o christ_n as_o to_o the_o grace_n promise_v this_o you_o have_v instance_a in_o abraham_n faith_n rom._n 4._o 20_o 21._o he_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n through_o unbelief_n but_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n give_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o in_o ver_fw-la 21._o and_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o what_o he_o have_v promise_v he_o be_v also_o able_a to_o perform_v so_o also_o instance_a in_o the_o faith_n of_o sarah_n heb._n 11._o 11._o through_o faith_n also_o sarah_n herself_o receive_v strength_n to_o conceive_v seed_n and_o be_v deliver_v of_o a_o child_n when_o she_o be_v past_o age_n because_o she_o judge_v he_o faithful_a that_o have_v promise_v so_o therefore_o in_o both_o these_o instance_n you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o their_o assurance_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o ability_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o the_o promiser_n it_o be_v
