his_o bless_a angel_n do_v and_o what_o need_v i_o speak_v any_o more_o although_o the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n triumphant_a be_v more_o clear_a than_o the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a 3._o 2._o cor._n 3._o ephes_n 3._o yet_o as_o paul_n affirm_v the_o angel_n have_v have_v in_o some_o part_n light_n from_o the_o church_n militant_a there_o be_v nothing_o therefore_o see_v in_o this_o present_a life_n of_o so_o great_a certainty_n and_o clearness_n as_o the_o truth_n which_o god_n have_v reveal_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o which_o we_o have_v a_o lyvely_a true_a and_o perfect_a faith_n thou_o will_v say_v as_o paul_n say_v faith_n be_v of_o thing_n not_o appear_v thing_n that_o be_v see_v be_v not_o beléeve_v and_o so_o also_o not_o hope_v for_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v see_v with_o such_o clearness_n and_o certainty_n as_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v present_a before_o our_o eye_n i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v true_a which_o be_v write_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n and_o likewise_o hope_v be_v of_o thing_n not_o appear_v and_o of_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v with_o corporal_a eye_n nor_o with_o human_a reason_n nor_o yet_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o be_v see_v of_o the_o bless_a nevertheless_o faith_n and_o also_o hope_v be_v of_o thing_n appear_v to_o the_o spiritual_a eye_n of_o faith_n whereby_o the_o truth_n reveal_v be_v see_v with_o great_a light_n and_o with_o a_o great_a certainty_n be_v hope_v for_o than_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n therefore_o paul_n albeit_o he_o be_v in_o fruition_n of_o this_o present_a life_n yet_o as_o be_v certain_a of_o his_o salvation_n and_o of_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a &_o already_o through_o hope_n in_o possession_n of_o heaven_n say_v not_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o we_o be_v make_v safe_a through_o hope_n 8._o rom._n 8._o the_o light_a therefore_a of_o faith_n dim_v all_o other_o light_n of_o this_o present_a life_n faith_n doubt_v not_o if_o it_o be_v perfect_a yea_o it_o be_v firm_a steadfast_a safe_a and_o sure_a thou_o will_v say_v but_o we_o see_v in_o some_o respect_n the_o contrary_a by_o experience_n that_o where_o as_o spiritual_a man_n do_v often_o doubt_v of_o thing_n supernatural_a the_o carnal_a doubt_v not_o but_o be_v clear_a sure_a and_o certain_a of_o thing_n natural_a as_o to_o know_v the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o likewise_o the_o sun_n and_o how_o the_o rhubarb_n do_v purge_v his_o choler_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n also_o they_o be_v sure_a without_o doubt_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v before_o their_o eye_n it_o may_v therefore_o be_v say_v that_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v lesser_a and_o therefore_o waver_a or_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o this_o world_n we_o have_v no_o true_a faith_n i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n dim_v the_o light_n of_o a_o little_a canndle_n when_o it_o burn_v so_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n do_v by_o other_o light_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o if_o one_o be_v in_o a_o dark_a prison_n where_o as_o the_o sun_n do_v not_o enter_v with_o his_o light_n but_o only_o by_o one_o little_a loop_n hoole_n he_o shall_v better_o see_v with_o a_o candle_n be_v lighten_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o prison_n than_o they_o can_v see_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v abroad_o with_o so_o little_a a_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n even_o so_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o body_n and_o in_o this_o world_n be_v as_o in_o a_o prison_n although_o it_o often_o time_n see_v better_o with_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o of_o carnal_a reason_n the_o thing_n of_o this_o present_a life_n than_o those_o thing_n of_o the_o other_o life_n with_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o for_o because_o that_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o far_o great_a than_o other_o light_n but_o it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a light_n of_o faith_n and_o great_a store_n of_o worldly_a light_n but_o if_o we_o have_v as_o much_o light_n of_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o of_o humane_a wisdom_n we_o will_v not_o doubt_v therefore_o when_o we_o do_v make_v judgement_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v before_o our_o eye_n we_o doubt_v not_o because_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o gainsay_v we_o but_o when_o we_o be_v lift_v up_o to_o secret_a thing_n supernatural_a by_o and_o by_o human_a wisdom_n exalt_v itself_o in_o we_o where_o unto_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v connaturall_a together_o with_o we_o we_o do_v give_v great_a credit_n and_o then_o it_o begin_v with_o reason_n to_o gainsay_v faith_n wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o great_a marvel_n if_o we_o oftentimes_o doubt_v but_o to_o conclude_v as_o charity_n be_v in_o itself_o more_o perfect_a than_o all_o worldly_a love_n so_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v more_o clear_a than_o all_o the_o light_n of_o this_o present_a life_n it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o as_o to_o that_o blind_a man_n 8._o mark_n 8._o to_o who_o christ_n give_v sight_n at_o the_o first_o man_n seem_v to_o he_o like_o tree_n and_o that_o not_o for_o defect_n of_o light_n but_o through_o the_o ill_a disposition_n of_o the_o member_n so_o when_o god_n do_v begin_v to_o give_v we_o of_o his_o light_n and_o to_o open_v the_o treasure_n of_o his_o divine_a secreate_v unto_o we_o yet_o oftentimes_o we_o do_v not_o see_v plain_o the_o truth_n not_o for_o defect_n of_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n but_o because_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v turmoil_v also_o with_o worldly_a thing_n be_v not_o in_o order_n to_o see_v the_o sincere_a and_o pure_a truth_n of_o god_n the_o light_n then_o of_o faith_n be_v great_a than_o all_o other_o light_n of_o this_o present_a life_n yea_o without_o it_o we_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o when_o we_o begin_v to_o believe_v than_o god_n open_v unto_o we_o the_o heaven_n with_o reveal_v to_o we_o his_o divine_a secreate_v as_o it_o appear_v by_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v baptize_v and_o show_v we_o the_o truth_n with_o this_o so_o clear_a light_n 3_o matth._n 3_o that_o they_o that_o have_v a_o true_a &_o perfect_a faith_n do_v not_o care_n for_o any_o other_o human_a reason_n nor_o miracle_n 1._o gal._n 1._o also_o with_o paul_n they_o seek_v not_o to_o be_v better_o clarify_v to_o compare_v their_o faith_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o all_o be_v through_o the_o great_a inward_a light_n which_o they_o have_v see_v then_o that_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v so_o clear_a and_o great_a let_v we_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v give_v it_o we_o so_o that_o see_v his_o goodness_n we_o may_v give_v he_o all_o praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n through_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n amen_n what_o thing_n a_o christian_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v sermon_n 4._o the_o first_o and_o chief_a sum_n of_o thing_n necessary_a for_o a_o christian_a man_n to_o believe_v consist_v first_o in_o that_o he_o believe_v in_o god_n it_o be_v not_o needful_a for_o thy_o salvation_n that_o thou_o comprehend_v god_n as_o he_o comprehend_v himself_o neither_o need_v thou_o so_o to_o see_v he_o in_o thyself_o in_o this_o present_a life_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v 13._o mat._n 13._o but_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o thou_o believe_v in_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o thou_o to_o say_v the_o créede_v as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o oration_n nor_o yet_o do_v it_o suffice_v for_o thy_o justification_n that_o without_o faith_n thou_o make_v confession_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o say_v créede_v but_o thou_o must_v believe_v neither_o suffice_v it_o to_o have_v a_o certain_a human_a barren_a 10._o rom._n 10._o idle_a cold_a dead_a and_o purchase_a opinion_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o god_n but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o faith_n inspire_v and_o a_o supernatural_a light_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v first_o believe_v in_o god_n here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o that_o faith_n be_v most_o full_a of_o light_n for_o where_o as_o human_a reason_n begin_v below_o at_o sensible_a thing_n and_o thereby_o be_v force_v to_o lift_v up_o itself_o unto_o those_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v understand_v faith_n contrariwise_o begin_v on_o high_a at_o god_n and_o then_o descend_v to_o thing_n below_o but_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v a_o certain_a dead_a opinion_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v and_o that_o he_o be_v god_n as_o every_o body_n have_v but_o thou_o must_v believe_v lively_a not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v god_n in_o

excusable_a but_o i_o will_v first_o know_v of_o such_o who_o it_o be_v that_o be_v lighten_v do_v all_o that_o he_o come_v so_o that_o his_o ignorance_n may_v be_v call_v invincible_a yea_o those_o which_o have_v not_o faith_n can_v not_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v call_v upon_o 10._o rom._n 10._o nor_o hearty_o request_v or_o crave_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o let_v we_o grant_v that_o a_o infidel_n shall_v do_v by_o his_o endeavour_n all_o that_o he_o can_v do_v we_o not_o see_v that_o all_o his_o work_n his_o thought_n affection_n force_n and_o desire_n shall_v be_v not_o only_o vain_a unprofitable_a and_o unfruitefull_a but_o naught_o unclean_a and_o wicked_a 8._o luc._n 8._o inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v unclean_a himself_o a_o bad_a tree_n without_o the_o spirit_n and_o without_o faith_n and_o thou_o imagine_v in_o some_o part_n at_o least_o that_o thou_o deserve_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v thou_o faith_n 2._o ephes_n 2._o which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n give_v mere_o by_o grace_n and_o not_o by_o desert_n by_o any_o way_n of_o our_o work_n it_o be_v very_o true_a 21_o math._n 21_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o and_o give_v we_o his_o grace_n therefore_o to_o they_o which_o ask_v it_o with_o faith_n and_o not_o to_o they_o which_o ask_v it_o without_o faith_n we_o can_v therefore_o by_o such_o mean_n be_v try_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v true_a which_o if_o we_o can_v we_o may_v partly_o glory_v in_o ourselves_o 4._o rom._n 4._o 1._o tim._n 1._o 1._o cor._n 4._o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o i_o say_v that_o to_o be_v try_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v the_o true_a faith_n we_o have_v need_n to_o have_v a_o true_a and_o lyvely_a faith_n because_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n there_o be_v in_o we_o a_o supernatural_a light_n so_o clear_a that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o see_v the_o truth_n reveal_v which_o of_o necessity_n we_o must_v believe_v but_o also_o there_o be_v see_v what_o light_n be_v true_a divine_a and_o supernatural_a and_o moreover_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v testify_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n then_o be_v know_v what_o true_a miracle_n have_v be_v do_v in_o confirmation_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o what_o otherwise_o which_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o which_o be_v the_o holy_a and_o sacred_a scripture_n then_o also_o be_v know_v that_o we_o be_v unperfect_a and_o stubborn_a that_o through_o ourselves_o we_o can_v neither_o in_o all_o nor_o in_o part_n deserve_v any_o so_o rich_a &_o precious_a a_o gift_n as_o faith_n be_v and_o last_o than_o we_o shall_v be_v try_v to_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n but_o without_o this_o clear_a inward_a and_o spiritual_a light_n no_o trial_n can_v suffice_v we_o nor_o miracle_n nor_o saint_n nor_o the_o church_n nor_o the_o scripture_n nor_o reason_n nor_o all_o other_o lyghts_n of_o the_o world_n let_v we_o pray_v therefore_o unto_o the_o lord_n that_o for_o his_o mere_a goodness_n and_o for_o the_o death_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n he_o will_v give_v we_o his_o true_a and_o supernatural_a light_n so_o that_o we_o may_v yield_v unto_o he_o all_o due_a praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n amen_o the_o mean_a to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o christian_a faith_n sermon_n 8._o there_o have_v be_v many_o which_o not_o have_v experience_v ever_o a_o inspire_v and_o supernatural_a faith_n beléeve_v that_o there_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o world_n any_o other_o but_o a_o humane_a and_o purchase_a faith_n like_a unto_o they_o and_o that_o man_n be_v try_v sufficient_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o christian_a faith_n if_o they_o be_v thorough_o weary_v in_o assay_v to_o prove_v with_o reason_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a to_o show_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o those_o that_o be_v such_o deceive_v themselves_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n 2._o ephes_n 2._o be_v a_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v not_o purchase_v but_o reveal_v depend_v not_o upon_o learning_n yea_o a_o very_a unlerned_a man_n may_v have_v perfect_a faith_n and_o the_o most_o learned_a may_v want_v it_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n be_v altogether_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a and_o have_v not_o for_o the_o foundation_n science_n prudence_n or_o worldly_a wisdom_n 3._o 1._o cor._n 3._o which_o be_v compare_v to_o god_n be_v foolishness_n yea_o he_o kill_v it_o as_o his_o enemy_n these_o man_n have_v also_o deceive_v the_o world_n inasmuch_o as_o many_o do_v think_v by_o their_o reason_n that_o a_o purchase_a faith_n be_v sufficient_a and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o perfect_a as_o they_o have_v the_o more_o of_o it_o and_o busy_v themselves_o so_o in_o the_o consider_n of_o this_o they_o have_v leave_v that_o which_o be_v necessary_a that_o be_v to_o humble_v themselves_o before_o god_n and_o to_o crave_v of_o he_o grace_n and_o through_o

faith_n of_o christ_n as_o untrue_a you_o must_v therefore_o understand_v that_o the_o truth_n supernatural_a and_o reveal_v can_v be_v show_v or_o make_v manifest_a which_o humane_a reason_n nor_o see_v clear_o with_o natural_a light_n but_o must_v be_v try_v by_o a_o light_n supernatural_a it_o be_v true_a that_o albeit_o all_o worldly_a reason_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o faith_n yet_o they_o be_v some_o help_n unto_o such_o man_n as_o use_v they_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o this_o be_v when_o such_o man_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o a_o lyvely_a faith_n by_o such_o reason_n come_v into_o some_o opinion_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n do_v humble_a themselves_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o a_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o also_o do_v

the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o heir_n wherefore_o he_o be_v most_o happy_a most_o noble_a rich_a of_o all_o divine_a treasure_n &_o grace_n if_o then_o a_o christian_a by_o be_v a_o perfect_a
