this_o the_o gospel_n be_v full_a of_o that_o jesus_n christ_n foretell_v judas_n betray_v of_o he_o and_o as_o he_o foretell_v so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n many_o thing_n that_o he_o foretell_v in_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o pass_v and_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v daily_o and_o second_o for_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v know_v to_o one_o and_o not_o to_o another_o jesus_n christ_n know_v the_o thought_n of_o another_o man_n heart_n he_o know_v his_o enemy_n heart_n his_o disciple_n heart_n and_o he_o know_v what_o be_v do_v before_o it_o be_v do_v but_o three_o for_o matter_n of_o faith_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o teacher_n that_o come_v from_o god_n the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n these_o be_v discovery_n that_o can_v be_v make_v by_o none_o but_o god_n and_o these_o thing_n christ_n discover_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n but_o than_o three_o that_o this_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o shall_v deliver_v to_o the_o world_n see_v these_o place_n john_n 13.18_o he_o that_o eat_v bread_n with_o i_o have_v lift_v up_o his_o heel_n against_o i_o christ_n foretell_v that_o judas_n shall_v betray_v he_o this_o be_v a_o very_a unlikely_a thing_n for_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o forward_a of_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n he_o be_v so_o forward_o that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o apostle_n do_v say_v mr._n be_v it_o i_o rather_o than_o be_v it_o he_o they_o suspect_v themselves_o soon_o than_o he_o now_o say_v christ_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o when_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v you_o may_v believe_v that_o i_o be_o he_o christ_n foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v we_o may_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o true_o the_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o christian_a world_n they_o seem_v to_o look_v with_o a_o evil_a aspect_n upon_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n now_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o discourage_v of_o we_o or_o from_o weaken_v our_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o confirmation_n because_o they_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v we_o shall_v believe_v that_o christ_n be_v he_o the_o second_o place_n be_v john_n 14.29_o say_v he_o and_o now_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v you_o may_v believe_v i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n and_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o this_o before_o that_o when_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v you_o may_v believe_v well_o now_o have_v jesus_n send_v you_o a_o comforter_n he_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n and_o here_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o the_o come_v to_o pass_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v foretell_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o believe_v it_o because_o he_o be_v no_o other_o but_o god_n that_o have_v discover_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n or_o the_o foretell_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v without_o the_o reach_n of_o create_a understanding_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o divinity_n and_o he_o that_o come_v furnish_v with_o such_o a_o commission_n we_o may_v believe_v what_o he_o say_v second_o for_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n concern_v which_o i_o shall_v show_v first_o what_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n be_v a_o production_n of_o something_o out_o of_o nothing_o which_o can_v be_v do_v by_o less_o than_o god_n for_o none_o but_o god_n can_v create_v or_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v as_o mr._n stilling-fleet_n say_v a_o bring_n of_o something_o out_o of_o nothing_o &_o that_o either_o in_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o can_v be_v produce_v by_o second_o cause_n as_o raise_v of_o the_o dead_a or_o else_o a_o bring_v something_o out_o of_o nothing_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v which_o may_v be_v do_v by_o second_o cause_n but_o yet_o be_v do_v without_o the_o help_n of_o second_o cause_n as_o cure_v disease_n with_o a_o touch_n of_o the_o hem_n of_o a_o garment_n or_o with_o a_o word_n speak_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o a_o miracle_n be_v second_o observe_v that_o god_n never_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n but_o for_o some_o special_a end_n the_o power_n of_o miracle_n be_v not_o ordinary_a for_o god_n never_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n but_o for_o some_o special_a end_n three_o the_o chief_a end_n of_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n be_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o some_o truth_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o world_n to_o know_v four_o that_o god_n will_v not_o give_v this_o power_n of_o miracle_n to_o any_o that_o will_v abuse_v it_o for_o the_o confirm_v of_o a_o lie_n five_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v true_o this_o power_n of_o miracle_n this_o can_v be_v deny_v even_o his_o enemy_n will_v grant_v it_o or_o else_o they_o have_v opportunity_n to_o confute_v he_o six_o that_o true_a miracle_n may_v be_v know_v from_o false_a one_o because_o antichrist_n come_v with_o lie_v word_n seven_o divine_n lay_v down_o rule_v to_o know_v true_a miracle_n from_o false_a one_o and_o i_o will_v have_v you_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o three_o especial_o first_o of_o all_o true_a miracle_n they_o always_o bring_v evidence_n along_o with_o they_o that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o they_o leave_v no_o dispute_n but_o that_o they_o be_v true_a they_o leave_v no_o doubt_n upon_o the_o spirit_n second_o true_a miracle_n be_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o a_o divine_a testimony_n and_o they_o do_v not_o contradict_v a_o divine_a testimony_n already_o confirm_v by_o a_o true_a miracle_n for_o the_o most_o of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o papist_n hold_v against_o we_o they_o have_v confirm_v they_o by_o miracle_n but_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n they_o be_v no_o true_a miracle_n because_o they_o tend_v to_o confirm_v a_o doctrine_n contrary_n to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v already_o confirm_v by_o unquestionable_a miracle_n then_o three_o true_a miracle_n oppose_v satan_n kingdom_n those_o that_o tend_v to_o the_o advancement_n of_o satan_n kingdom_n be_v lie_v wonder_n then_o four_o i_o may_v add_v another_o that_o true_a miracle_n be_v common_o mercy_n as_o well_o as_o miracle_n satan_n wonder_n tend_v to_o amaze_v but_o not_o at_o all_o to_o do_v any_o good_a but_o christ_n miracle_n be_v most_o of_o they_o mercy_n as_o well_o as_o wonder_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v what_o may_v be_v say_v to_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n as_o be_v a_o chief_a confirmation_n of_o divine_a testimony_n eight_o and_o last_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n in_o christ_n be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o his_o be_v the_o messiah_n we_o know_v thou_o be_v a_o teacher_n come_v from_o god_n because_o no_o man_n can_v do_v the_o miracle_n which_o thou_o do_v except_v god_n be_v with_o he_o thus_o far_o we_o have_v go_v but_o yet_o grant_v it_o in_o the_o hypothesis_n that_o miracle_n be_v a_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o divine_a testimony_n can_v we_o say_v in_o the_o thesis_n that_o such_o miracle_n be_v true_o do_v there_o be_v a_o threefold_a argument_n for_o that_o which_o i_o will_v have_v you_o take_v notice_n of_o first_o of_o all_o the_o apostle_n they_o be_v eye-witness_n and_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v nay_o many_o that_o will_v have_v be_v glad_a of_o any_o opportunity_n to_o accuse_v they_o yet_o it_o be_v never_o say_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v false_o do_v nay_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v as_o cunning_a in_o find_v out_o deceit_n that_o way_n will_v have_v be_v glad_a of_o any_o accusation_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v true_o do_v they_o will_v have_v find_v it_o out_o second_o the_o apostle_n they_o can_v not_o be_v deceiver_n for_o they_o have_v no_o temptation_n to_o it_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o be_v rise_v otherwise_o then_o by_o their_o steal_n of_o he_o which_o be_v object_v when_o they_o have_v find_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o be_v so_o good_a as_o his_o word_n they_o will_v rather_o have_v curse_v he_o then_o confess_v he_o and_o if_o they_o preach_v salvation_n by_o one_o that_o be_v not_o otherwise_o rise_v but_o by_o their_o steal_n of_o he_o yet_o the_o world_n will_v not_o have_v have_v the_o faith_n to_o believe_v it_o yet_o we_o find_v that_o serious_a and_o inquisitive_a man_n confess_v to_o be_v in_o their_o wit_n do_v sacrifice_v their_o life_n upon_o their_o belief_n of_o christ_n
be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a of_o which_o they_o have_v no_o other_o assurance_n but_o the_o miracle_n which_o the_o apostle_n wrought_v and_o their_o testimony_n and_o then_o three_o a_o three_o thing_n will_v clear_v all_o that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a way_n of_o convey_v the_o copy_n of_o the_o gospel_n down_o to_o we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v corrupt_v in_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o concernment_n to_o the_o christian_a world_n for_o there_o be_v heretic_n in_o all_o age_n that_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n on_o purpose_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o corruption_n in_o the_o copy_n they_o will_v have_v detect_v it_o as_o be_v glad_a of_o such_o a_o advantage_n against_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o well_o then_o let_v it_o not_o seem_v a_o diversion_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v this_o to_o those_o two_o argument_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o since_o if_o we_o come_v to_o suffer_v all_o must_v hang_v upon_o this_o point_n if_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o true_a we_o be_v undo_v for_o ever_o he_o that_o find_v his_o life_n shall_v lose_v it_o and_o he_o that_o lose_v his_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v find_v it_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o other_o scripture_n thus_o say_v the_o gospel_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o true_a we_o be_v undo_v for_o ever_o and_o thus_o though_o the_o most_o satisfactory_a conviction_n to_o we_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n yet_o since_o we_o be_v rational_a creature_n and_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o as_o such_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v furnish_v and_o enable_v and_o ready_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o religion_n be_v reasonable_a and_o though_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v above_o reason_n and_o not_o capable_a of_o be_v demonstrate_v from_o the_o thing_n themselves_o as_o how_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v by_o reason_n that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o resurrection_n that_o there_o can_v be_v three_o person_n in_o one_o and_o many_o other_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v a_o reasonable_a thing_n to_o believe_v such_o thing_n though_o they_o be_v above_o reason_n and_o though_o we_o can_v have_v reason_n for_o the_o thing_n themselves_o yet_o there_o be_v reason_n why_o we_o shall_v beheve_z they_o and_o i_o say_v since_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unusual_a with_o satan_n to_o assault_v the_o best_a christian_n here_o about_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o see_v the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o feel_a testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v not_o be_v always_o ready_a therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o keep_v the_o outwork_n to_o keep_v the_o guard_n in_o the_o outwork_n not_o to_o lie_v all_o the_o stress_n within_o but_o to_o be_v fortify_v with_o argument_n and_o reason_n for_o the_o operation_n or_o work_v of_o the_o will_n and_o the_o affection_n be_v more_o uncertain_a and_o more_o changeable_a than_o the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n let_v we_o therefore_o always_o be_v furnish_v with_o argument_n of_o reason_n to_o help_v our_o feel_n to_o rub_v up_o our_o feel_n and_o to_o quicken_v we_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o understanding_n a_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o do_v deal_v with_o rational_a man_n by_o rational_a mean_n ordinary_o well_o therefore_o you_o see_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v furnish_v with_o argument_n and_o these_o be_v two_o that_o we_o may_v be_v furnish_v with_o if_o satan_n shall_v assault_v we_o that_o way_n we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o beat_v he_o and_o last_o consider_v the_o miracle_n which_o christ_n wrought_v be_v not_o only_o a_o confirmation_n of_o this_o doctrine_n as_o they_o be_v a_o conviction_n that_o he_o come_v from_o god_n and_o what_o he_o say_v come_v from_o god_n but_o likewise_o in_o his_o miracle_n there_o be_v something_o christian_n may_v make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o motive_n and_o as_o a_o argument_n to_o do_v these_o duty_n which_o those_o miracle_n be_v bring_v to_o confirm_v there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o miracle_n beside_o the_o divine_a power_n which_o may_v be_v as_o a_o motive_n and_o a_o argument_n to_o christian_n in_o their_o duty_n as_o thus_o jesus_n christ_n when_o they_o come_v to_o apprehend_v he_o he_o with_o a_o word_n speak_v cause_v the_o officer_n to_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n say_v i_o be_o he_o this_o may_v encourage_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v stand_v with_o we_o though_o not_o with_o a_o miracle_n yet_o by_o his_o powerful_a presence_n when_o we_o come_v to_o be_v apprehend_v so_o he_o that_o will_v lose_v his_o life_n shall_v save_v it_o etc._n etc._n now_o we_o may_v be_v comfort_v that_o we_o shall_v save_v we_o by_o lose_v of_o it_o for_o he_o do_v so_o he_o save_v his_o life_n by_o lose_v it_o for_o our_o sake_n so_o when_o we_o come_v to_o any_o doctrine_n or_o precept_n get_v a_o miracle_n to_o back_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o you_o when_o you_o will_v be_v exhort_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o charity_n let_v that_o miracle_n so_o back_o it_o how_o christ_n feed_v 500_o with_o five_o loaf_n and_o 2._o small_a fish_n so_o get_v your_o charity_n strengthen_v by_o a_o miracle_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o can_v stand_v upon_o this_o these_o be_v the_o two_o specal_v thing_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n and_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n the_o eight_o and_o last_o for_o those_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o a_o uncertainty_n about_o heaven_n consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o doubt_n whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n or_o no_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o small_a moment_n whether_o it_o be_v or_o no._n but_o you_o that_o be_v not_o sure_a be_v you_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n what_o a_o case_n be_v we_o in_o if_o we_o do_v not_o look_v after_o the_o one_o and_o avoid_v the_o other_o sure_o it_o shall_v cause_v we_o to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n no_o diligence_n be_v too_o much_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n any_o diligence_n be_v too_o much_o let_v we_o not_o halt_v between_o two_o opinion_n etc._n etc._n let_v there_o be_v no_o demur_n in_o our_o spirit_n but_o let_v we_o be_v satisfy_v about_o it_o i_o press_v hard_a say_v the_o apostle_n i_o be_v once_o a_o persecutor_n and_o earnest_n against_o the_o gospel_n and_o i_o use_v the_o same_o violence_n in_o preach_v the_o

use_v to_o know_v how_o a_o man_n may_v get_v to_o heaven_n a_o christian_a by_o go_v these_o step_n may_v know_v how_o he_o come_v near_a to_o heaven_n how_o his_o love_n increase_v to_o the_o

persuade_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n to_o employ_v some_o of_o their_o riches_n this_o way_n as_o may_v not_o only_o be_v a_o sigh_n that_o god_n have_v make_v it_o sure_o but_o likewise_o a_o mean_n if_o other_o thing_n be_v answerable_a to_o secure_v that_o of_o the_o true_a riches_n but_o how_o be_v that_o do_v the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o

be_v four_o expression_n why_o be_v the_o apostle_n so_o press_v in_o these_o four_o but_o because_o the_o duty_n be_v of_o great_a necessity_n and_o because_o of_o man_n backwardness_n to_o perform_v it_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n of_o much_o plainness_n and_o therefore_o must_v not_o be_v neglect_v but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o shall_v premise_v two_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o caution_n first_o that_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o if_o i_o think_v or_o believe_v you_o to_o who_o i_o be_o speak_v to_o be_v slack_a this_o way_n for_o according_a to_o that_o qui_fw-la monet_fw-la ut_fw-la saclus_fw-la quod_fw-la be_o facis_fw-la ille_fw-la monendo_fw-la laudat_fw-la &_o hortat_fw-la 〈◊〉_d comprobat_fw-la a●●as●io_fw-la he_o that_o do_v admonish_v a_o thing_n which_o a_o man_n perform_v already_o he_o commend_v he_o by_o that_o admonition_n and_o do_v approve_v of_o that_o which_o he_o do_v by_o that_o exhortation_n so_o that_o such_o a_o exhortation_n be_v a_o commendation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n of_o much_o plainness_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v speak_v to_o there_o be_v much_o of_o a_o christian_a and_o much_o of_o the_o gospel_n in_o it_o now_o for_o one_o part_n of_o a_o christian_n do_v good_a christian_n communicate_v must_v be_v to_o the_o poor_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o must_v be_v speak_v to_o because_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n of_o much_o plainness_n and_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n as_o true_a almost_o as_o the_o gospel_n he_o never_o have_v any_o share_n in_o the_o gospel_n who_o grudge_v that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v have_v a_o share_n in_o he_o the_o gospel_n be_v never_o account_v a_o chargeable_a guest_n but_o where_o it_o be_v no_o profit_v guest_n let_v the_o gospel_n do_v what_o it_o shall_v to_o we_o and_o we_o will_v not_o grudge_v if_o necessary_a and_o in_o our_o power_n to_o give_v gold_n to_o eat_v and_o balm_n to_o drink_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o great_a fruitfulness_n but_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n must_v be_v use_v in_o this_o for_o such_o bounty_n and_o liberality_n must_v be_v bestow_v where_o there_o be_v the_o great_a necessity_n i_o mean_v in_o a_o time_n of_o distress_n and_o necessity_n because_o occasion_n be_v many_o and_o urgent_a else_o the_o gospel_n will_v prove_v burdensome_a it_o shall_v be_v the_o desire_n of_o all_o that_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o minister_n thereof_o may_v be_v without_o burden_n though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n rather_o to_o be_v wish_v then_o hope_v for_o all_o minister_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o without_o a_o burden_n second_o caution_n i_o be_o not_o say_v these_o thing_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v so_o to_o i_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v go_v we_o about_o to_o take_v you_o by_o craft_n i_o hope_v i_o may_v say_v that_o we_o have_v renounce_v such_o hide_a thing_n of_o dishonesty_n not_o use_v the_o glorious_a gospel_n of_o christ_n to_o so_o inglorious_a and_o base_a a_o end_n he_o be_v unworthy_a of_o the_o name_n of_o a_o minister_n that_o make_v the_o gospel_n a_o lackey_n for_o his_o gain_n minister_n have_v their_o reward_n in_o heaven_n and_o if_o god_n so_o order_v
