have_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v such_o divine_a truth_n above_o nature_n altogether_o much_o then_o we_o must_v not_o stand_v to_o look_v for_o reason_n too_o much_o nor_o trust_v the_o reason_n or_o wit_n of_o any_o man_n but_o divine_a authority_n her●_n especial_o for_o if_o divine_a authority_n cease_v in_o the_o gospel_n what_o be_v it_o nothing_o the_o law_n be_v write_v in_o man_n heart_n but_o we_o must_v trust_v divine_a authority_n in_o the_o gospel_n above_o all_o other_o portion_n of_o scripture_n and_o not_o to_o the_o wit_n of_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o pride_n and_o ignorance_n and_o tyranny_n they_o will_v force_v knowledge_n on_o they_o that_o be_v under_o they_o from_o their_o sole_a

supernatural_a mystery_n above_o the_o capacity_n of_o any_o man_n and_o shall_v we_o build_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o these_o truth_n oh_o no_o there_o must_v be_v no_o

to_o that_o which_o be_v more_o useful_a eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v etc._n etc._n here_o than_o we_o have_v a_o use_n of_o direction_n how_o to_o carry_v ourselves_o in_o read_v truth_n and_o study_v holy_a truth_n especial_o the_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n how_o shall_v we_o study_v they_o we_o think_v to_o break_v into_o they_o with_o the_o engine_n of_o our_o

of_o a_o man_n and_o who_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o in_o study_v the_o gospel_n let_v we_o come_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o humility_n and_o meekness_n there_o be_v no_o break_n into_o these_o thing_n with_o the_o strength_n of_o part_n that_o have_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o so_o many_o heresy_n as_o have_v be_v in_o

be_v all_o this_o because_o they_o think_v only_o the_o open_n of_o these_o thing_n make_v they_o divine_v whereas_o without_o the_o holy_a ghost_n sanctify_v and_o alter_v the_o heart_n in_o some_o

when_o it_o come_v to_o particular_n they_o know_v nothing_o as_o they_o shall_v for_o when_o be_v truth_n know_v but_o when_o in_o particular_n we_o stand_v for_o it_o and_o will_v neither_o betray_v

therefore_o the_o course_n that_o god_n take_v with_o his_o child_n be_v this_o mystery_n those_o that_o he_o mean_v to_o have_v he_o first_o inspire_v into_o their_o heart_n some_o desire_n to_o

by_o a_o heavenly_a light_n and_o inspire_v into_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n some_o heavenly_a inclination_n to_o this_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o justification_n sanctification_n

in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n oh_o he_o relish_v the_o point_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n he_o relish_v the_o point_n of_o sanctification_n he_o study_v it_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o and_o

in_o some_o measure_n the_o excellency_n of_o those_o thing_n prepare_v for_o we_o now_o to_o clear_v this_o thing_n more_o full_o revelation_n know_v that_o there_o be_v three_o degree_n of_o revelation_n first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o revelation_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o by_o word_n and_o write_v or_o speech_n and_o the_o like_a as_o we_o know_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n but_o either_o by_o speech_n or_o write_v so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o revelation_n of_o these_o thing_n or_o else_o the_o wit_n of_o angel_n can_v never_o have_v devise_v how_o to_o reconcile_v justice_n and_o mercy_n by_o infinite_a wisdom_n by_o send_v a_o mediator_n to_o procure_v peace_n god-man_n to_o work_v our_o salvation_n therefore_o we_o can_v not_o know_v they_o without_o a_o revelation_n and_o discovery_n outward_a this_o be_v the_o first_o degree_n that_o we_o may_v call_v revelation_n by_o scripture_n or_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o can_v discover_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v mere_o supernatural_a but_o god_n himself_o then_o again_o 2._o when_o they_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o by_o man_n that_o have_v a_o function_n to_o unfold_v the_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v hide_v riddle_n still_o to_o a_o company_n of_o carnal_a man_n put_v case_n the_o veil_n be_v take_v off_o from_o the_o thing_n themselves_o yet_o if_o the_o veil_n be_v over_o the_o soul_n the_o understanding_n will_n and_o affection_n there_o be_v no_o apprehension_n of_o they_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o second_o revelation_n that_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n ofnecessitie_n this_o must_v be_v for_o even_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o this_o chapter_n none_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n 11._o but_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o man_n so_o none_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n what_o be_v the_o gospel_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n to_o discover_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n to_o we_o we_o know_v not_o the_o good_a meaning_n of_o god_n to_o we_o in_o particular_a god_n we_o know_v in_o general_a that_o such_o thing_n be_v reveal_v in_o scripture_n but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o our_o saviour_n and_o god_n our_o father_n unless_o we_o can_v say_v as_o s._n paul_n say_v he_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o therefore_o you_o see_v a_o necessity_n of_o revelation_n by_o the_o spirit_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o that_o be_v here_o mean_v there_o be_v 3_o a_o high_a discovery_n and_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o that_o be_v reveal_v here_o be_v but_o in_o part_n and_o thereupon_o if_o we_o believe_v we_o believe_v but_o in_o part_n and_o we_o love_v but_o in_o part_n if_o our_o knowledge_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o other_o grace_n and_o affection_n be_v imperfect_a all_o that_o follow_v must_v needs_o be_v imperfect_a also_o therefore_o st._n john_n say_v 2._o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o it_o appear_v not_o what_o we_o shall_v be_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v now_o there_o must_v be_v a_o further_a revelation_n and_o that_o will_v be_v hereafter_o when_o our_o soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v together_o with_o our_o body_n and_o then_o indeed_o our_o eye_n shall_v see_v our_o ear_n hear_v and_o heart_n shall_v conceive_v those_o thing_n that_o while_o we_o be_v here_o in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o church_n we_o neither_o can_v see_v nor_o hear_v nor_o understand_v more_o than_o the_o child_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o mother_n can_v conceive_v the_o excellency_n in_o this_o civil_a life_n thus_o we_o see_v these_o truth_n a_o little_a more_o unfold_v i_o will_v now_o add_v somewhat_o to_o make_v use_n of_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v first_o of_o all_o therefore_o for_o matter_n of_o instruction_n instruction_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v such_o as_o that_o without_o a_o revelation_n from_o god_n they_o can_v not_o be_v know_v than_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o principle_n at_o all_o of_o the_o gospel_n in_o nature_n there_o be_v not_o a_o spark_n of_o light_n or_o any_o inclination_n to_o the_o gospel_n but_o it_o be_v mere_o above_o nature_n for_o he_o remove_v here_o all_o natural_a way_n of_o know_v the_o gospel_n eye_n ear_n &_o understanding_n therefore_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v mere_o supernatural_a for_o if_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o who_o can_v ever_o have_v devise_v it_o and_o when_o he_o reveal_v it_o to_o discover_v it_o by_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v supernatural_a but_o in_o heaven_n much_o more_o which_o be_v the_o three_o degree_n i_o speak_v of_o gospel_n therefore_o by_o the_o way_n you_o may_v know_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o heresy_n have_v spring_v out_o of_o the_o gospel_n more_o than_o out_o of_o he_o law_n &_o the_o misunderstanding_n of_o it_o there_o be_v few_o or_o no_o heresy_n from_o that_o because_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o law_n be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n man_n natural_o know_v

there_o have_v be_v excellent_a lawmaker_n among_o the_o heathen_n but_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o mere_a mystery_n discover_v out_o of_o the_o breast_n of_o god_n without_o all_o principle_n of_o

that_o beget_v when_o they_o love_v not_o he_o that_o be_v beget_v there_o can_v be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o such_o a_o man_n undoubted_o if_o we_o love_v god_n we_o shall_v love_v his_o child_n

we_o shall_v love_v it_o because_o it_o be_v he_o it_o be_v such_o a_o affection_n as_o set_v the_o soul_n on_o work_n to_o think_v wherein_o may_v i_o give_v content_a to_o such_o a_o person_n it_o

one_o it_o be_v to_o i_o it_o be_v accountable_a on_o my_o part_n i_o will_v see_v it_o answer_v if_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o we_o we_o will_v regard_v this_o because_o we_o will_v
