the_o ordinance_n which_o we_o have_v not_o otherwise_o and_o i_o conceive_v as_o the_o act_n of_o man_n bring_v in_o the_o wind_n and_o water_n in_o their_o mill_n and_o make_v use_v of_o their_o natural_a motion_n to_o do_v their_o work_n and_o serve_v their_o occasion_n so_o do_v the_o holy_a spirit_n make_v use_n of_o god_n voluntary_a act_n in_o his_o wait_n on_o the_o mean_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o special_a work_n of_o grace_n in_o he_o which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v acquire_v by_o infusion_n yet_o so_o as_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v the_o free_a

good_a purpose_n when_o i_o speak_v hereof_o only_o as_o what_o suffice_v to_o the_o sacrament_n not_o to_o justification_n and_o whereas_o upon_o this_o he_o wish_v mr._n h._n will_v study_v fundamental_n better_o before_o he_o come_v to_o superstructure_n i_o shall_v desire_v he_o see_v he_o acknowledge_v our_o dispute_n to_o be_v but_o about_o a_o superstructure_n that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v so_o hot_a and_o froward_a that_o another_o differ_v from_o he_o and_o as_o for_o my_o study_n about_o this_o point_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n i_o shall_v submit_v myself_o to_o give_v he_o this_o small_a account_n of_o they_o faith_n be_v a_o assent_n to_o a_o testimony_n and_o so_o it_o differ_v from_o knowledge_n experience_n etc._n etc._n that_o testimony_n be_v either_o of_o man_n and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o humane_a or_o of_o god_n and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a faith_n divine_a faith_n then_o be_v a_o assent_n to_o divine_a revelation_n or_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v either_o general_a or_o special_a general_n faith_n be_v this_o assent_n without_o effectual_a application_n special_a be_v this_o assent_n with_o it_o and_o this_o assent_n with_o application_n be_v save_v faith_n now_o this_o special_a faith_n in_o the_o habit_n have_v two_o act_n according_a to_o its_o object_n in_o the_o word_n the_o one_o whereby_o it_o be_v carry_v out_o upon_o the_o precept_n and_o threat_n for_o obedience_n or_o the_o other_o as_o it_o be_v carry_v out_o upon_o the_o promise_n especial_o the_o great_a promise_n of_o salvation_n through_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o act_n we_o say_v justify_v whether_o in_o sensu_fw-la proprio_fw-la or_o in_o sensu_fw-la correlativo_fw-la in_o respect_n of_o its_o object_n the_o point_n seem_v decide_v by_o those_o two_o text_n rom._n 3.25_o with_o rom._n 5.9_o where_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n yet_o do_v i_o think_v that_o those_o man_n that_o do_v as_o it_o be_v compound_v these_o two_o act_n into_o one_o and_o call_v it_o acceptance_n of_o christ_n as_o lord_n and_o saviour_n and_o so_o say_v it_o justify_v as_o the_o covenant-condition_n speak_v pious_o solid_o and_o safe_o as_o to_o these_o time_n to_o close_v up_o this_o eight_o objection_n though_o it_o be_v certain_a a_o special_a faith_n be_v require_v to_o every_o save_a duty_n yet_o whereas_o the_o duty_n at_o least_o as_o a_o task_n service_n tribute_n must_v still_o be_v do_v i_o will_v advise_v every_o receiver_n to_o look_v main_o into_o this_o one_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v not_o upon_o he_o the_o unworthiness_n of_o a_o evil_a conscience_n which_o i_o account_v not_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o life_n past_a though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o ignorant_a obstinate_a and_o grievous_a sinner_n so_o long_o as_o for_o his_o life_n to_o come_v he_o now_o resolve_v to_o go_v on_o no_o more_o in_o any_o of_o his_o know_a wilful_a sin_n against_o conscience_n but_o to_o leave_v they_o and_o if_o his_o heart_n upon_o examination_n can_v true_o tell_v he_o this_o though_o he_o be_v unregenerate_a and_o this_o resolution_n but_o legal_a and_o preparatory_a yet_o see_v he_o can_v hearty_o for_o the_o present_a engage_v himself_o to_o the_o term_n of_o christ_n as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o conscience_n can_v be_v oppose_v against_o his_o come_n so_o i_o be_o entire_o persuade_v without_o the_o least_o doubt_n as_o to_o such_o a_o one_o that_o this_o ordinance_n be_v a_o most_o fit_a mean_n subordinate_a to_o the_o word_n to_o make_v his_o good_a purpose_n serious_a for_o his_o effectual_a conversion_n and_o as_o for_o those_o harsh_a term_n and_o opinion_n of_o other_o that_o a_o man_n if_o he_o be_v
