do_v evident_o carry_v the_o soul_n over_o that_o hindrance_n for_o faith_n see_v the_o arm_n of_o christ_n stretch_v forth_o to_o receive_v the_o feeble_a soul_n faith_n tell_v the_o weak_a heart_n that_o christ_n will_v come_v to_o it_o if_o it_o can_v go_v to_o he_o faith_n assure_v the_o soul_n that_o christ_n will_v enable_v it_o to_o embrace_v himself_o faith_n show_v christ_n as_o able_a

on_o its_o way_n to_o christ_n notwithstanding_o any_o hindrance_n from_o self_n self_n shall_v not_o keep_v off_o where_o faith_n be_v the_o soul_n deny_v self_n and_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o then_o to_o proceed_v second_o satan_n he_o binder_n and_o remember_v it_o satan_n do_v more_o oppose_v your_o go_n to_o christ_n than_o he_o do_v oppose_v your_o leave_v of_o sin_n if_o thou_o will_v

above_o all_o take_v the_o shield_n of_o faith_n whereby_o you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o quench_v the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n let_v satan_n do_v his_o worst_a faith_n will_v carry_v on_o

this_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o world_n even_o our_o faith_n and_o then_o last_o christ_n himself_o seem_v to_o oppose_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o speak_v and_o that_o be_v sad_a and_o sometime_o he_o do_v speak_v and_o that_o be_v as_o sad_a for_o as_o we_o former_o note_v he_o seem_v to_o speak_v harsh_o and_o christ_n may_v seem_v to_o deny_v and_o reject_v the_o soul_n in_o its_o approach_n to_o he_o now_o what_o shall_v carry_v up_o the_o soul_n when_o christ_n himself_o seem_v to_o put_v back_o nothing_o but_o faith_n it_o be_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v faith_n carry_v up_o job_n to_o go_v to_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o observable_a that_o job_n do_v oftentimes_o profess_v his_o faith_n in_o god_n as_o in_o job_n 13.15_o though_o he_o kill_v i_o

through_o all_o yet_o i_o will_v believe_v and_o trust_v i_o pray_v observe_v whatever_o grace_n or_o gift_n you_o have_v nothing_o will_v carry_v you_o through_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o your_o way_n to_o christ_n but_o only_a faith_n it_o be_v the_o woman_n faith_n that_o keep_v she_o up_o all_o the_o while_n and_o it_o be_v that_o and_o that_o alone_a which_o carry_v every_o soul_n through_o all_o hindrance_n as_o well_o as_o those_o which_o i_o have_v hint_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n so_o you_o see_v the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o point_n to_o come_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n then_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o the_o reason_n whence_o be_v it_o that_o faith_n shall_v thus_o be_v the_o only_a grace_n to_o carry_v up_o and_o carry_v out_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o difficulty_n in_o go_v to_o christ_n i_o will_v name_v very_o brief_o these_o two_o head_n of_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v from_o the_o appointment_n of_o faith_n by_o god_n second_o the_o operation_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o these_o be_v the_o two_o great_a pillar_n of_o this_o truth_n first_o from_o the_o appointment_n of_o faith_n

by_o god_n my_o belove_a faith_n do_v therefore_o carry_v we_o out_o through_o all_o because_o it_o be_v that_o grace_n that_o god_n alone_o have_v appoint_v read_v the_o gospel_n or_o the_o prophet_n and_o you_o will_v find_v they_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o great_a truth_n first_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a one_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o salvation_n there_o be_v no_o name_n but_o he_o act._n 4.12_o second_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a grace_n appoint_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n you_o have_v our_o lord_n short_o in_o one_o place_n speak_v of_o both_o in_o john_n 6.40_o and_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o divine_n why_o faith_n rather_o than_o charity_n patience_n or_o gospel-obedâ—ence_a shall_v be_v the_o great_a instrument_n of_o justification_n and_o my_o beloved_n this_o be_v the_o absolute_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n because_o god_n have_v only_o appoint_v it_o there_o may_v be_v some_o conjectural_a reason_n why_o god_n have_v appoint_v faith_n but_o the_o chief_a reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o now_o divine_a institution_n be_v upon_o faith_n thence_o it_o be_v that_o faith_n do_v the_o work_n it_o be_v not_o from_o any_o inherent_a worth_n in_o the_o grace_n alas_o what_o be_v the_o worth_n of_o a_o sinner_n hand_n to_o take_v a_o glorious_a christ_n but_o it_o be_v only_o from_o god_n pleasure_n and_o appointment_n that_o faith_n alone_o shall_v be_v the_o grace_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n to_o and_o help_v the_o soul_n in_o its_o receive_n of_o christ_n god_n have_v appoint_v no_o other_o leg_n to_o carry_v we_o and_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v these_o he_o will_v bless_v his_o own_o appointment_n to_o effect_v the_o work_n the_o lord_n appointment_n make_v all_o thing_n operative_a therefore_o second_o the_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o operation_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o appointment_n my_o belove_a faith_n it_o be_v a_o work_a grace_n and_o faith_n be_v our_o great_a strength_n in_o every_o work_a grace_n it_o convey_v strength_n unto_o all_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a operation_n of_o faith_n to_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o its_o go_n to_o christ_n viz._n a_o enlighten_v a_o enliven_a and_o a_o embrace_v work_n in_o the_o bless_a

necessity_n of_o christ_n the_o inclinableness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n say_v faith_n look_v yonder_o there_o and_o there_o alone_o be_v the_o rock_n of_o safety_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o there_o you_o must_v sink_v this_o make_v the_o soul_n swim_v amain_o and_o look_v say_v faith_n there_o be_v a_o safe_a land_n christ_n say_v faith_n stand_v with_o outstretch_v arm_n of_o power_n and_o love_n to_o embrace_v thou_o and_o faith_n realize_v such_o a_o fight_n evidence_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o enable_v the_o soul_n to_o see_v it_o help_v the_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n second_o faith_n have_v not_o only_o a_o enlighten_v work_n but_o a_o inlve_a work_n my_o belove_a other_o grace_n stir_v we_o up_o and_o put_v we_o on_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o faith_n do_v only_o enliven_v we_o love_n and_o humility_n do_v marvellous_o stir_v up_o the_o soul_n to_o go_v to_o

carry_v it_o holy_o and_o humble_o unto_o christ_n when_o christ_n seem_v to_o carry_v it_o harsh_o unto_o they_o so_o do_v this_o poor_a woman_n or_o if_o you_o will_v take_v it_o short_o thus_o it_o

servant_n be_v obedient_a to_o your_o master_n not_o only_o to_o the_o good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o to_o the_o froward_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o servant_n profess_v the_o name_n of_o

even_o for_o a_o ishmael_n i._n e._n for_o a_o child_n yea_o a_o carnal_a child_n and_o this_o be_v certain_a even_o bad_a child_n have_v many_o corporal_a mercy_n for_o their_o parent_n sake_n and_o we_o may_v expect_v it_o object_n but_o we_o have_v know_v many_o a_o parent_n that_o have_v go_v in_o faith_n to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o poor_a child_n that_o never_o have_v prevail_v how_o then_o can_v you_o build_v we_o up_o in_o this_o truth_n when_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a answ_n i_o answer_v if_o thou_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o pray_v for_o a_o child_n and_o do_v not_o prevail_v god_n deal_v no_o worse_o with_o thou_o than_o he_o deal_v with_o thy_o better_n david_n who_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n go_v to_o god_n for_o a_o child_n and_o he_o pray_v hard_a but_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hear_v he_o you_o have_v the_o story_n in_o 2_o sam._n 12.16_o david_n beseech_v god_n for_o the_o child_n and_o fast_v etc._n etc._n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o you_o yet_o be_v you_o as_o well_o in_o this_o respect_n as_o david_n be_v but_o more_o full_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n i_o pray_v mark_v it_o that_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n may_v satisfy_v david_n and_o so_o any_o in_o the_o like_a case_n first_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o david_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v live_v i_o make_v that_o appear_v thus_o what_o be_v the_o child_n that_o david_n do_v desire_n may_v live_v you_o know_v the_o story_n it_o be_v the_o base-begotten_a child_n which_o he_o get_v upon_o bathsheba_n certain_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o david_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v live_v have_v the_o child_n live_v it_o will_v have_v be_v his_o father_n shame_n etc._n etc._n when_o thou_o go_v to_o god_n to_o beg_v the_o life_n of_o thy_o child_n if_o thy_o child_n do_v not_o live_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o may_v live_v to_o be_v thy_o shame_n some_o have_v beg_v of_o god_n the_o life_n of_o a_o child_n what_o ever_o come_v of_o it_o god_n have_v give_v it_o as_o a_o curse_n and_o the_o child_n life_n have_v be_v a_o monument_n of_o their_o shame_n and_o a_o perpetual_a heart-breaking_n to_o the_o parent_n all_o their_o day_n as_o a_o good_a woman_n once_o sad_o say_v so_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v for_o good_a to_o the_o parent_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o hear_v prayer_n for_o a_o child_n life_n and_o then_o that_o may_v satisfy_v we_o if_o he_o do_v not_o but_o then_o second_o though_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hear_v david_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n i_o persuade_v i_o he_o do_v hear_v david_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o child_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o this_o account_n of_o it_o say_v david_n in_o v._o 23._o i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o but_o he_o shall_v not_o return_v
