never_o fail_v in_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n so_o neither_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n this_o seem_v a_o irrefragable_a reason_n no_o doubt_n and_o such_o a_o one_o i_o believe_v as_o may_v

be_v very_o probable_a their_o say_a faith_n it_o may_v also_o fail_v at_o sometime_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n that_o the_o apostle_n at_o sometime_o fail_v in_o the_o first_o it_o be_v very_o

the_o apostle_n faith_n fail_v direct_o in_o these_o it_o may_v fail_v much_o more_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n howbeit_o because_o you_o seem_v so_o confident_a in_o this_o one_o assertion_n do_v show_v we_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n faith_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v not_o possible_o fail_v in_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n exorcist_n

yet_o be_v they_o not_o in_o this_o present_a life_n so_o absolute_o enligtn_v renew_a or_o cleanse_v from_o all_o perverseness_n of_o hart_n or_o blindness_n of_o mind_n as_o that_o they_o can_v

in_o this_o life_n as_o the_o very_o best_o may_v perceive_v their_o own_o imperfection_n and_o therewithal_o be_v drive_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o fullness_n of_o perfection_n consist_v only_o

this_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v withal_o 4.7_o that_o a_o simple_a earthen_a vessel_n can_v possible_o contain_v enough_o of_o that_o water_n to_o assuage_v the_o fire_n alone_o 14.15_o that_o burn_v one_o house_n the_o bless_a apostle_n they_o acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v man_n yea_o man_n who_o be_v natural_o beget_v in_o the_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o adam_n their_o

for_o then_o what_o need_v their_o corruptible_a body_n to_o put_v incorruption_n upon_o they_o 1.23_o or_o themselves_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n howbeit_o this_o we_o certain_o know_v that_o during_o this_o life_n there_o remain_v even_o in_o the_o best_a of_o all_o a_o daily_a strife_n between_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o flesh_n 5.17_o yea_o and_o that_o the_o remnant_n of_o flesh_n do_v stick_v very_o fast_o not_o only_o in_o their_o heart_n but_o also_o in_o their_o mind_n and_o for_o these_o selfsame_o respect_n the_o very_a apostle_n themselves_o

and_o that_o therefore_o they_o do_v all_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o prophet_n and_o say_v heal_v thou_o we_o o_o lord_n 3.10_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v heal_v yea_o and_o even_o paul_n he_o

foot_n by_o all_o which_o its_o very_a apparent_a that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o they_o be_v not_o so_o absolute_o fill_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o that_o their_o faith_n notwithstanding_o it_o may_v and_o do_v fail_v at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o in_o some_o point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o in_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n exorcist_n if_o it_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o their_o faith_n at_o any_o time_n fail_v in_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n 16.13_o how_o then_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v credit_v concern_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o he_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o the_o same_o shall_v lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n orthodoxus_n that_o the_o apostle_n faith_n in_o some_o thing_n and_o at_o sometime_o may_v fail_v it_o be_v undoubted_o true_a and_o the_o promise_n also_o of_o christ_n concern_v the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o direction_n be_v as_o undoubted_a a_o truth_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n no_o doubt_n do_v lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n yea_o i_o say_v further_o into_o all_o holiness_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n howbeit_o he_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o
paul_n protest_v unto_o the_o ephesian_n 20.27_o that_o he_o show_v they_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n now_o he_o show_v they_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n not_o absolute_o and_o simple_o but_o so_o much_o thereof_o and_o so_o farforth_o also_o as_o be_v profitable_a for_o they_o 20.21_o otherways_o if_o he_o have_v absolute_o show_v they_o the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n whatsoever_o he_o must_v necessary_o then_o have_v show_v they_o also_o the_o secret_a thing_n of_o god_n 29.29_o which_o only_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n alone_o and_o concern_v neither_o they_o nor_o their_o child_n and_o therefore_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n promise_v such_o a_o comforter_n unto_o his_o disciple_n 16.13_o as_o shall_v lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v lead_v they_o into_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o into_o all_o that_o truth_n whatsoever_o which_o concern_v their_o own_o and_o his_o church_n salvation_n for_o more_o than_o this_o our_o saviour_n never_o promise_v to_o they_o and_o more_o than_o this_o they_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v at_o their_o master_n hand_n so_o then_o howsoever_o the_o particle_n all_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v reference_n unto_o whatsoever_o the_o apostle_n shall_v speak_v or_o do_v yet_o christ_n he_o restrain_v the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o direction_n to_o those_o only_a truth_n which_o he_o by_o his_o own_o mouth_n have_v teach_v they_o before_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o very_a teneur_n of_o that_o promise_n itself_o 14.26_o which_o say_v but_o the_o comfortor_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n he_o shall_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n and_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o your_o remembrance_n which_o i_o have_v tell_v or_o teach_v you_o before_o give_v they_o thereby_o to_o understand_v that_o whensoever_o they_o speak_v or_o do_v that_o which_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o reveal_v truth_n he_o have_v teach_v they_o that_o say_v or_o do_v of_o they_o be_v more_o than_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o before_o and_o more_o than_o they_o be_v lead_v unto_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n by_o all_o the_o premise_n then_o it_o be_v very_o apparent_a that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o those_o day_n enlighten_v the_o apostle_n mind_n and_o now_o also_o at_o this_o present_a do_v sanctify_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o their_o own_o and_o the_o church_n salvation_n but_o it_o be_v then_o and_o be_v now_o expedient_a for_o they_o and_o for_o we_o to_o err_v in_o some_o thing_n 16.17_o that_o we_o may_v give_v all_o glory_n to_o god_n alone_o that_o so_o see_v our_o own_o frailty_n and_o weakness_n we_o may_v not_o be_v high_o

he_o stir_v up_o our_o love_n towards_o he_o pray_v more_o fervent_o unto_o he_o to_o increase_v our_o faith_n and_o to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n brief_o that_o we_o may_v run_v forth_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o our_o life_n with_o great_a steadfastness_n and_o constancy_n now_o than_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o we_o may_v bold_o conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o and_o all_o the_o elect_a in_o christ_n they_o be_v lead_v in_o all_o truth_n and_o holiness_n by_o the_o certain_a direction_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n howbeit_o this_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v withal_o that_o they_o be_v so_o lead_v unto_o this_o salvation_n as_o they_o be_v not_o absolute_o free_a from_o every_o spark_n and_o wrinkle_n either_o of_o manner_n or_o doctrine_n but_o that_o at_o some_o time_n and_o in_o some_o special_a point_n they_o may_v and_o do_v err_v as_o have_v be_v declare_v exorcist_n how_o then_o can_v the_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n his_o intercession_n concern_v their_o soundness_n of_o faith_n be_v certain_a unto_o they_o who_o have_v relate_v the_o insatiable_a desire_n of_o satan_n to_o sift_v they_o 22.31.32_o as_o man_n winnow_v wheat_n tell_v they_o forthwith_o that_o he_o have_v pray_v their_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v by_o which_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o if_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n be_v any_o thing_n gracious_a with_o god_n his_o father_n the_o apostle_n faith_n can_v not_o possible_o fail_v in_o doctrine_n or_o judgement_n orthodoxus_n 380_o nay_o rather_o by_o this_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o you_o grossie_a abuse_n both_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o that_o promise_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o to_o support_v your_o idle_a fancy_n for_o christ_n do_v not_o promise_v that_o peter_n judgement_n shall_v never_o fail_v but_o that_o in_o the_o follow_a temptation_n which_o be_v forthwith_o to_o fall_v upon_o peter_n his_o faith_n shall_v not_o final_o perish_v i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o say_v christ_n that_o

by_o deny_v his_o master_n he_o may_v rise_v again_o by_o repentance_n to_o his_o former_a state_n now_o then_o if_o you_o right_o frame_v your_o argument_n from_o the_o premise_n you_o may_v plain_o
