delusion_n of_o wicked_a saul_n or_o else_o the_o devil_n may_v know_v future_a event_n by_o that_o great_a knowledge_n which_o he_o have_v in_o scripture-prophecy_n those_o prophecy_n which_o be_v

be_v much_o in_o holy_a discourse_n with_o good_a company_n converse_v with_o those_o who_o have_v the_o spirit_n about_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v a_o likely_a advantage_n for_o thou_o to_o gain_v the_o spirit_n motion_n what_o christ_n do_v while_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n that_o will_v he_o yet_o do_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n you_o read_v when_o the_o two_o disciple_n be_v go_v to_o

move_v it_o be_v a_o text_n worthy_a of_o observation_n which_o you_o read_v of_o in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n where_o the_o lord_n say_v 30.20,21_o isa_n 30.20,21_o that_o thy_o teacher_n shall_v

you_o in_o it_o mark_v the_o connexion_n you_o shall_v see_v your_o teacher_n and_o in_o see_v they_o shall_v hear_v a_o voice_n that_o be_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o ordinance_n be_v they_o which_o convey_v the_o spirit_n in_o its_o motion_n to_o we_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o may_v accommodate_v that_o of_o the_o prophet_n zachariah_n 4.12_o zech._n 4.12_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o two_o olive-branch_n do_v empty_v themselves_o of_o the_o golden_a oil_n by_o the_o two_o golden_a pipe_n and_o so_o it_o run_v into_o the_o candlestick_n this_o candlestick_n be_v the_o church_n the_o oil_n be_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o these_o motion_n they_o run_v through_o ordinance_n they_o be_v those_o golden_a pipe_n which_o convey_v the_o spirit_n motion_n into_o your_o heart_n it_o be_v with_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o holy_a ordinance_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n and_o the_o vein_n and_o artery_n for_o as_o these_o convey_v the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n to_o each_o part_n so_o also_o ordinance_n convey_v the_o grace_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o each_o believe_a member_n of_o christ_n wait_v upon_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o wait_v also_o upon_o prayer_n that_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n whereby_o you_o shall_v obtain_v the_o spirit_n christ_n he_o make_v this_o a_o encouragement_n to_o prayer_n 11.13_o luke_n 11.13_o if_o you_o then_o be_v evil_a know_v how_o to_o give_v good_a gift_n to_o you_o child_n how_o much_o more_o say_v he_o shall_v your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o go_v therefore_o to_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o that_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o bring_v the_o spirit_n into_o thy_o heart_n 3._o be_v much_o alone_a in_o holy_a meditation_n christ_n can_v tell_v you_o that_o he_o be_v alone_o and_o yet_o say_v he_o i_o be_o not_o alone_a because_o the_o father_n be_v with_o i_o so_o you_o if_o you_o be_v alone_o in_o meditation_n yet_o you_o will_v not_o be_v alone_o because_o the_o spirit_n will_v be_v with_o you_o in_o its_o holy_a motion_n that_o as_o isaac_n when_o he_o go_v forth_o

mistake_v moral_a persuasion_n for_o the_o spirit_n motion_n this_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a rule_n man_n be_v apt_a if_o they_o have_v a_o good_a motion_n to_o entitle_v it_o unto_o the_o spirit_n whereas_o there_o may_v be_v a_o thousand_o good_a motion_n in_o thy_o mind_n which_o may_v mere_o come_v from_o moral_a persuasion_n mere_a nature_n may_v make_v a_o reprobate_n go_v far_o how_o do_v you_o read_v of_o flash_n of_o joy_n in_o herod_n he_o hear_v john_n baptist_n glad_o of_o pang_n of_o fear_n and_o horror_n in_o felix_n and_o fit_v of_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n in_o judas_n yet_o all_o these_o come_v from_o the_o force_n of_o moral_a persuasion_n and_o be_v not_o save_v working_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v mistake_v about_o moral_a persuasion_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o four_o difference_n between_o it_o and_o the_o spirit_n work_v 1._o moral_a persuasion_n it_o may_v move_v a_o man_n to_o do_v good_a but_o it_o never_o change_v the_o affection_n and_o therefore_o you_o read_v of_o those_o 2.10_o 2_o thes_n 2.10_o that_o do_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o which_o intimate_v that_o man_n may_v receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o motion_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o not_o in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o 〈◊〉_d eph._n 4.15_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o hence_o be_v those_o expression_n of_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n or_o do_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n whatsoever_o you_o do_v you_o must_v do_v it_o in_o love_n now_o moral_a persuasion_n may_v move_v you_o to_o do_v a_o good_a act_n but_o it_o never_o draw_v out_o your_o affection_n in_o love_n to_o the_o thing_n you_o do_v 2._o moral_a persuasion_n press_v man_n to_o do_v good_a but_o it_o give_v they_o no_o power_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n it_o persuade_v to_o moral_a persuasion_n may_v give_v a_o man_n a_o eye_n to_o see_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o the_o spirit_n it_o give_v not_o only_o a_o eye_n 3.26_o rom._n 3.26_o but_o a_o hand_n also_o and_o help_v we_o in_o the_o do_n of_o that_o good_a whereunto_o it_o persuade_v 3._o moral_a persuasion_n move_v man_n to_o do_v good_a more_o out_o of_o hope_n of_o reward_n or_o fear_v of_o punishment_n then_o of_o love_n to_o grace_n or_o holiness_n it_o look_v more_o at_o what_o god_n give_v than_o what_o he_o require_v and_o have_v more_o respect_n to_o the_o reward_n of_o grace_n then_o to_o grace_v itself_o 4._o moral_a persuasion_n they_o be_v partial_a persuasion_n they_o move_v a_o man_n to_o some_o kind_n of_o good_a but_o not_o to_o all_o good_a to_o good_a that_o may_v be_v easy_o do_v but_o not_o to_o difficult_a duty_n to_o outward_a but_o not_o to_o inward_a good_a but_o the_o spirit_n motion_n they_o be_v universal_a there_o be_v no_o good_a act_n but_o the_o spirit_n it_o move_v a_o man_n
the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n for_o the_o good_a of_o your_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n to_o to_o those_o who_o have_v find_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n accompany_v with_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o spirit_n use_v 2_o to_o those_o who_o have_v the_o efficacy_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n withhold_v from_o the_o ministry_n they_o attend_v upon_o there_o be_v seven_o thing_n i_o will_v have_v such_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o 1._o that_o god_n spirit_n be_v a_o free_a agent_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v tie_v to_o a_o outward_a ministry_n but_o to_o be_v

3.8_o john_n 3.8_o by_o the_o wind_n be_v mean_v the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o sovereignty_n and_o free_a agency_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o work_v when_o he_o please_v or_o to_o withhold_v work_v from_o who_o he_o please_v and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v call_v a_o free_a spirit_n psal_n 51.12_o uphold_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a spirit_n and_o james_n 1.18_o of_o his_o own_o will_n beget_v he_o we_o with_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n 2._o consider_v that_o god_n do_v not_o withhold_v his_o spirit_n from_o the_o outward_a ministry_n mere_o as_o a_o act_n of_o his_o sovereignty_n but_o as_o a_o act_n of_o his_o justice_n because_o of_o your_o sin_n whereby_o you_o have_v provoke_v he_o you_o provoke_v he_o to_o withhold_v the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o spirit_n from_o his_o ordinance_n by_o your_o sin_n and_o therefore_o be_v you_o harden_v and_o receive_v not_o benefit_n by_o they_o you_o do_v some_o of_o those_o injury_n to_o the_o spirit_n as_o quench_v grieve_v resist_a vex_a tempt_a and_o despise_v the_o spirit_n which_o i_o mention_v before_o therefore_o do_v not_o think_v hardly_o of_o god_n but_o judge_v yourselves_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n which_o make_v the_o lord_n withdraw_v his_o spirit_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o strive_v with_o the_o man_n of_o the_o old_a world_n it_o be_v their_o disobedience_n as_o you_o find_v the_o apostle_n peter_n speak_v christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n go_v and_o preach_v unto_o the_o spirit_n in_o prison_n which_o sometime_o be_v disobedient_a when_o once_o the_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n wait_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n 3.19.20_o 1_o pet_n 3.19.20_o their_o disobedience_n make_v god_n withdraw_v the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o spirit_n if_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o work_v on_o you_o think_v not_o hardly_o on_o god_n but_o thank_v yourselves_o he_o be_v provoke_v unto_o it_o thus_o god_n depart_v from_o the_o israelite_n because_o of_o their_o sinful_a provocation_n psalm_n 81.11,12_o but_o my_o people_n will_v not_o hearken_v to_o my_o voice_n and_o israel_n will_v none_o of_o i_o so_o i_o give_v they_o up_o unto_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n and_o they_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n the_o spirit_n in_o scripture_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o dove_n now_o a_o dove_n will_v always_o keep_v in_o the_o house_n where_o it_o be_v breed_v unless_o the_o

they_o nasty_a and_o the_o spirit_n will_v soon_o leave_v you_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o spirit_n withdraw_v itself_o from_o the_o ordinance_n and_o why_o man_n be_v leave_v unto_o themselves_o and_o god_n do_v it_o as_o a_o act_n of_o his_o justice_n punish_v of_o sin_n 3._o if_o god_n do_v withhold_v his_o spirit_n from_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n the_o fault_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o thyself_o then_o unto_o the_o word_n many_o like_o the_o woman_n in_o seneca_n complain_v the_o room_n be_v dark_a when_o they_o themselves_o be_v blind_a and_o the_o
