as_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n who_o can_v take_v away_o the_o opposite_a disposition_n of_o man_n nature_n to_o goodness_n but_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n who_o can_v shine_v into_o the_o soul_n and_o

your_o heart_n to_o the_o great_a prophet_n of_o the_o church_n resist_v that_o moses_n speak_v of_o deut._n 18._o who_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a teacher_n of_o the_o church_n lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o he_o that_o he_o will_v teach_v our_o heart_n and_o remove_v the_o natural_a disposition_n that_o be_v in_o we_o that_o he_o will_v take_v off_o the_o veil_n from_o our_o heart_n and_o teach_v not_o only_o what_o to_o do_v but_o to_o teach_v the_o very_a do_v of_o they_o teach_v we_o to_o hate_v what_o be_v ill_a teach_v we_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o resist_v all_o satan_n temptation_n who_o can_v teach_v this_o but_o the_o great_a teacher_n who_o chair_n be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o depend_v on_o formal_a thing_n lift_v your_o heart_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v join_v his_o teach_n with_o all_o other_o teach_v this_o can_v be_v too_o much_o stand_v upon_o i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o take_v it_o to_o heart_n apply_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v a_o few_o thing_n more_o if_o christ_n speak_v in_o general_a to_o mary_n she_o answer_v in_o general_n and_o when_o he_o speak_v aloof_o to_o she_o she_o answer_v aloof_o to_o he_o a_o

i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o rest_v in_o general_a promise_n and_o the_o general_a grace_n that_o be_v so_o much_o stand_v on_o by_o some_o that_o god_n have_v a_o like_a respect_n to_o all_o trust_v not_o to_o that_o we_o must_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o secret_n but_o let_v we_o obey_v his_o precept_n and_o commandment_n and_o withal_o remember_v this_o when_o we_o hear_v of_o a_o general_a mercy_n and_o commandment_n for_o all_o nation_n to_o believe_v and_o that_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v a_o world_n of_o sinner_n alas_o what_o be_v that_o to_o i_o unless_o application_n thou_o by_o thy_o holy_a spirit_n speak_v to_o my_o soul_n and_o say_v in_o particular_a i_o be_o thy_o salvation_n and_o speak_v familiar_o to_o my_o soul_n general_n be_v in_o some_o

and_o thou_o be_v i_o all_o be_v to_o little_a purpose_n therefore_o in_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o prayer_n let_v we_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o reveal_v himself_o in_o particular_a we_o trust_v too_o much_o in_o general_n god_n be_v merciful_a and_o christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v the_o world_n they_o be_v truth_n and_o good_a foundation_n for_o to_o sound_a faith_n upon_o but_o they_o will_v not_o do_v the_o deed_n till_o by_o daily_a prayer_n we_o seek_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v in_o a_o particular_a manner_n reveal_v himself_o to_o we_o this_o do_v paul_n pray_v for_o ephes_n 1._o that_o god_n will_v vouch_v safe_a to_o they_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n his_o special_a office_n be_v to_o reveal_v

heart_n now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n only_o can_v reveal_v the_o particular_a love_n that_o lie_v in_o god_n breast_n to_o our_o particular_a soul_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v desire_v god_n that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n may_v be_v send_v to_o seal_v to_o we_o our_o particular_a salvation_n and_o never_o be_v quiet_a till_o we_o be_v seal_v in_o particular_a assurance_n that_o we_o be_v they_o who_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v this_o we_o ought_v to_o labour_v for_o if_o we_o labour_v for_o it_o we_o shall_v have_v it_o sometime_o or_o other_o for_o god_n love_v to_o be_v familiar_a with_o

that_o be_v more_o than_o touch_v he_o but_o our_o saviour_n intent_n be_v to_o meet_v with_o a_o disposition_n in_o mary_n something_o carnal_a something_o low_o and_o mean_a in_o regard_n of_o this_o glorious_a occasion_n christ_n be_v now_o rise_v and_o glorify_v for_o his_o resurrection_n be_v the_o first_o degree_n of_o his_o glorification_n and_o therefore_o touch_v i_o not_o she_o come_v with_o too_o much_o a_o carnal_a christ_n mind_n to_o touch_v he_o when_o we_o say_v rabboni_n it_o be_v not_o satisfaction_n enough_o for_o she_o to_o answer_v rabboni_n but_o she_o run_v to_o

after_o and_o have_v labour_v for_o even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v too_o much_o addict_v to_o present_a thing_n and_o to_o sense_n they_o will_v worship_v christ_n but_o they_o must_v have_v a_o picture_n before_o they_o they_o will_v adore_v christ_n but_o they_o must_v bring_v his_o body_n down_o into_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n they_o must_v have_v a_o presence_n and_o so_o instead_o of_o raise_v their_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o a_o heavenly_a manner_n they_o pull_v down_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o they_o this_o the_o pride_n and_o base_a
