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

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

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
