nature_n obtain_v habit_n that_o may_v have_v a_o inward_a operation_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o may_v change_v the_o affection_n in_o some_o degree_n but_o in_o a_o degree_n so_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a as_o can_v never_o bring_v he_o to_o salvation_n a_o man_n may_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o reason_n assist_v only_o by_o the_o general_a ordinary_a concourse_n acquire_v habit_n of_o virtue_n and_o those_o habit_n may_v cause_v a_o readiness_n in_o the_o affection_n to_o turn_v to_o virtuous_a action_n yet_o those_o act_n of_o virtue_n will_v differ_v much_o from_o those_o that_o spring_n from_o grace_n action_n that_o spring_v from_o nature_n if_o they_o be_v do_v out_o of_o a_o love_n to_o honesty_n and_o be_v without_o the_o mixture_n of_o all_o private_a respect_n may_v have_v a_o moral_a goodness_n and_o i_o think_v they_o may_v true_o be_v call_v virtue_n yet_o action_n that_o spring_v from_o grace_n will_v as_o far_o excel_v they_o as_o domestic_a fruit_n that_o be_v keep_v and_o foment_v by_o a_o husbandman_n excel_v those_o that_o grow_v natural_o in_o the_o wood_n and_o open_a field_n for_o grace_n change_v the_o affection_n more_o powerful_o and_o so_o make_v the_o work_n which_o be_v partly_o measure_v by_o the_o affection_n to_o be_v of_o great_a value_n our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v examine_v this_o matter_n by_o his_o infallible_a scrutiny_n ascribe_v more_o worth_a to_o a_o small_a gift_n which_o a_o poor_a widow_n bring_v into_o the_o treasury_n then_o to_o the_o large_a gift_n of_o many_o rich_a man_n of_o a_o truth_n say_v he_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o this_o poor_a widow_n have_v cast_v in_o more_o than_o they_o all_o luk._n 21.3_o they_o from_o their_o great_a heap_n bring_v great_a gift_n she_o from_o a_o small_a heap_n bring_v only_o two_o mite_n and_o yet_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v weigh_v all_o their_o charity_n against_o she_o find_v that_o many_o grain_n will_v not_o make_v they_o equal_a for_o though_o their_o gift_n be_v voluntary_a as_o well_o as_o she_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o voluntary_a because_o their_o affection_n be_v not_o so_o ready_a for_o the_o affection_n work_v upon_o the_o will_n when_o the_o affection_n be_v not_o ready_a retardunt_fw-la si_fw-la non_fw-la impediunt_fw-la voluntatem_fw-la they_o hinder_v and_o stop_v the_o will_n if_o they_o do_v not_o divert_v she_o from_o a_o right_a course_n there_o be_v then_o great_a difference_n between_o nature_n and_o grace_n in_o work_v upon_o the_o affection_n their_o effect_n must_v needs_o be_v different_a nature_n may_v cause_v some_o change_n in_o the_o affection_n and_o perfect_v they_o in_o some_o degree_n but_o grace_n change_v the_o affection_n powerful_o and_o make_v they_o as_o it_o be_v new_a affection_n if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n say_v saint_n paul_n he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o behold_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a 2_o corinth_n 5.17_o and_o yet_o grace_n do_v not_o total_o heal_v the_o affection_n in_o this_o world_n there_o be_v but_o a_o partial_a heal_n here_o the_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o best_a man_n lustful_a ambitious_a covetous_a and_o a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o unlawful_a thought_n and_o desire_n will_v sometime_o arise_v in_o every_o man_n they_o which_o have_v obtain_v the_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n have_v never_o sufficient_a to_o exsiccate_a and_o dry_a up_o the_o stream_n of_o those_o impurity_n yet_o this_o be_v our_o comfort_n those_o wound_n that_o remain_v be_v not_o leave_v for_o our_o destruction_n but_o our_o trial_n the_o danger_n and_o deadliness_n of_o they_o be_v take_v away_o although_o they_o be_v not_o perfect_o heal_v as_o god_n leave_v the_o egyptian_n and_o the_o jebusite_n and_o the_o ammonite_n among_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n not_o to_o consume_v his_o people_n but_o to_o prove_v they_o so_o he_o leave_v several_a kind_n of_o concupiscence_n in_o his_o child_n not_o to_o destroy_v we_o but_o to_o try_v whether_o we_o will_v abstain_v from_o sin_n for_o his_o sake_n when_o our_o affection_n move_v we_o to_o the_o contrary_a and_o as_o joshua_n 10.18_o josh_n 10.18_o have_v overcome_v the_o five_o king_n that_o combine_v against_o the_o israelite_n do_v not_o present_o put_v they_o to_o death_n but_o keep_v they_o in_o a_o cave_n that_o he_o may_v put_v they_o to_o death_n afterward_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o people_n with_o great_a triumph_n so_o god_n have_v by_o his_o grace_n subdue_v the_o concupiscence_n and_o inordinatenesse_n of_o the_o affection_n do_v not_o present_o destroy_v they_o but_o keep_v they_o a_o while_n in_o bondage_n deprive_v of_o their_o wont_a liberty_n that_o he_o may_v destroy_v they_o afterward_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o world_n with_o great_a glory_n at_o the_o general_a judgement_n when_o this_o corruptible_a shall_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a shall_v put_v on_o immortality_n all_o inordinatenesse_n shall_v be_v destroy_v the_o affection_n shall_v be_v total_o heal_v then_o the_o soul_n like_o the_o sick_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n shall_v take_v up_o his_o bed_n and_o walk_v it_o shall_v take_v the_o body_n wherein_o it_o lay_v sick_a as_o in_o a_o bed_n and_o carry_v it_o where_o it_o please_v portabit_fw-la lectum_fw-la à_fw-la

overcome_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o concupiscence_n and_o inordinatenesse_n of_o our_o affection_n be_v so_o heal_v that_o they_o cease_v to_o reign_v though_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v we_o may_v by_o the_o help_n of_o grace_n subdue_v our_o affection_n though_o we_o can_v keep_v they_o from_o rebellion_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o which_o david_n petition_n must_v be_v apply_v namely_o to_o the_o affection_n now_o in_o the_o next_o place_n this_o petition_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o understanding_n heal_n my_o understanding_n for_o the_o wound_n of_o ignorance_n be_v as_o great_a as_o the_o wound_n of_o infirmity_n and_o therefore_o that_o must_v be_v heal_v too_o or_o else_o the_o soul_n will_v be_v never_o the_o better_a and_o here_o two_o thing_n be_v require_v for_o as_o i_o show_v you_o before_o there_o be_v a_o double_a ignorance_n in_o the_o understanding_n arise_v from_o a_o double_a defect_n and_o want_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o first_o arise_v for_o want_n of_o sufficient_a revelation_n the_o soul_n have_v lose_v the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o truth_n that_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n to_o our_o first_o parent_n the_o second_o arise_v for_o want_v of_o evidence_n after_o sufficient_a revelation_n the_o understanding_n be_v not_o able_a of_o itself_o to_o assent_v to_o reveal_v truth_n without_o some_o light_n give_v she_o by_o god_n whereby_o it_o may_v discover_v the_o certainty_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o two_o thing_n be_v require_v i_o say_v to_o heal_v these_o two_o kind_n of_o ignorance_n the_o first_o be_v divine_a revelation_n the_o second_o be_v divine_a illumination_n the_o first_o thing_n necessary_a to_o heal_v the_o wound_n of_o ignorance_n be_v divine_a revelation_n the_o article_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v reveal_v immediate_o by_o god_n himself_o as_o they_o be_v to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o the_o apostle_n or_o mediate_o by_o the_o work_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o church_n or_o else_o they_o can_v never_o be_v know_v thou_o be_v bless_v simon_n barjona_n say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n unto_o saint_n peter_n for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n bathe_v not_o reveal_v this_o unto_o thou_o but_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n matth._n 16.16_o the_o revelation_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n do_v rather_o enlarge_v then_o heal_v the_o wound_n of_o ignorance_n while_o solomon_n follow_v the_o revelation_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n he_o lose_v that_o knowledge_n that_o be_v before_o reveal_v and_o as_o former_o for_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n so_o afterward_o for_o simplicity_n and_o foolishness_n he_o become_v a_o second_o time_n the_o wonder_n and_o amazement_n of_o the_o world_n the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v reveal_v from_o above_o or_o they_o can_v never_o be_v reveal_v no_o man_n know_v the_o son_n say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n but_o the_o father_n neither_o know_v any_o man_n the_o father_n but_o the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o who_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o matth._n 11.27_o the_o second_o thing_n necessary_a to_o heal_v the_o wound_n of_o ignorance_n be_v divine_a illumination_n for_o after_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n be_v reveal_v if_o there_o be_v not_o something_o else_o add_v to_o make_v the_o truth_n evident_a the_o understanding_n will_v either_o be_v deceive_v by_o falsehood_n or_o else_o perplex_v by_o
