of_o forgiveness_n and_o lay_v hold_n of_o salvation_n god_n the_o father_n and_o god_n the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v that_o person_n that_o set_v the_o heart_n a_o work_n to_o seek_v out_o for_o salvation_n and_o reveal_v the_o love_n of_o they_o both_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o grace_n and_o peace_n which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n inquest_n be_v still_o wish_v from_o

according_o when_o faith_n come_v to_o treat_v with_o these_o two_o about_o the_o great_a business_n of_o salvation_n the_o first_o and_o main_a thing_n that_o it_o be_v inquisitive_a after_o be_v what_o their_o heart_n and_o mind_n be_v and_o how_o they_o stand_v incline_v towards_o the_o receive_n and_o pardon_v of_o sinner_n it_o listen_v most_o to_o hear_v something_o of_o that_o and_o when_o a_o man_n heart_n through_o faith_n be_v full_o and_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o it_o than_o he_o be_v full_o win_v hence_o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v for_o our_o comfort_n and_o so_o fit_v to_o and_o for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n therefore_o they_o be_v so_o write_v as_o especial_o to_o bring_v down_o and_o lay_v before_o we_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o main_a thing_n they_o hold_v forth_o be_v the_o full_a intent_n and_o purpose_n both_o of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n to_o pardon_v and_o receive_v sinner_n this_o be_v a_o faithful_a say_n say_v paul_n with_o open_a mouth_n that_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o this_o christ_n himself_o everywhere_o indigitates_fw-la and_o to_o hold_v forth_o this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o these_o word_n utter_v by_o christ_n himself_o and_o such_o speech_n do_v contain_v the_o very_a heart_n marrow_n and_o pith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o though_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o sinner_n will_v never_o be_v full_o satisfy_v till_o a_o persuasion_n be_v wrought_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v purpose_v and_o willing_a to_o save_v a_o man_n own_o self_n in_o particular_a which_o persuasion_n be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v assurance_n yet_o when_o once_o there_o be_v a_o through_o persuasion_n settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n but_o of_o so_o much_o indefinite_o and_o in_o general_a that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v willing_a and_o full_o resolve_v to_o save_v some_o sinner_n so_o that_o the_o heart_n do_v true_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v in_o earnest_n this_o draw_v on_o the_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o be_v enough_o to_o work_v faith_n of_o adherence_n such_o as_o upon_o which_o christ_n will_v never_o cast_v we_o out_o as_o the_o text_n have_v it_o the_o great_a business_n then_o for_o the_o work_a faith_n in_o man_n be_v to_o persuade_v they_o of_o god_n good_a will_n and_o gracious_a inclination_n unto_o sinner_n to_o beget_v in_o they_o good_a opinion_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n this_o way_n man_n natural_o have_v hard_a and_o suspicious_a thought_n of_o both_o as_o that_o speech_n of_o christ_n john_n 3._o 17._o imply_v god_n send_v not_o his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o condemn_v the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o may_v be_v save_v christ_n will_v never_o have_v hint_v such_o a_o jealousy_n nor_o suggest_v such_o thought_n to_o man_n mind_n have_v they_o not_o be_v in_o they_o before_o and_o this_o to_o prevent_v and_o take_v off_o such_o jealousy_n man_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v a_o design_n upon_o they_o as_o upon_o enemy_n and_o lay_v but_o a_o ambushment_n for_o their_o further_a condemnation_n in_o his_o treaty_n of_o peace_n tender_v to_o they_o by_o his_o son_n a_o example_n of_o which_o we_o have_v in_o luther_n who_o fall_v into_o such_o suspicion_n as_o these_o for_o he_o misunderstand_n some_o word_n he_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n as_o they_o be_v render_v by_o the_o vulgar_a translation_n then_o in_o use_n namely_o these_o that_o god_n send_v his_o son_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n as_o they_o be_v by_o we_o translate_v he_o think_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o to_o have_v be_v this_o to_o declare_v and_o set_v forth_o his_o judgement_n on_o the_o world_n so_o he_o interpret_v adjustitiam_fw-la suam_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o truth_n be_v the_o jealousy_n of_o man_n thought_n herein_o be_v those_o that_o have_v put_v god_n to_o his_o oath_n as_o i_o live_v i_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n etc._n etc._n so_o also_o heb._n 6._o 17._o man_n do_v not_o so_o usual_o question_v the_o power_n of_o god_n he_o be_v able_a enough_o to_o save_v they_o they_o think_v he_o be_v able_a to_o engraft_v they_o in_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o jew_n rom._n 11._o 23._o but_o all_o their_o doubt_n be_v about_o his_o will_n god_n will_n be_v the_o fountain_n and_o spring_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o the_o contrive_n of_o which_o he_o wrought_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n as_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n speak_v and_o in_o another_o place_n it_o be_v say_v he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o the_o great_a query_n in_o our_o heart_n be_v concerning_o the_o will_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n open_v now_o these_o word_n of_o my_o text_n do_v hold_v forth_o the_o full_a willingness_n of_o both_o these_o two_o person_n both_o of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n 1._o of_o christ_n he_o here_o profess_v himself_o willing_a to_o entertain_v all_o that_o will_v come_v to_o he_o he_o that_o will_v come_v to_o i_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_n cast_v out_o which_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o speak_v only_o of_o cast_v out_o they_o that_o be_v already_o come_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o they_o be_v only_o a_o promise_n against_o be_v cast_v off_o after_o be_v receive_v and_o so_o intend_v against_o fear_n of_o fall_v away_o but_o they_o be_v chief_o intend_v as_o a_o invitement_n to_o all_o that_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v that_o they_o will_v come_v to_o he_o and_o so_o to_o express_v how_o ready_a and_o willing_a he_o be_v to_o entertain_v all_o comer_n as_o one_o who_o set_v his_o door_n open_a keep_v open_a house_n and_o beat_v back_o none_o that_o will_v come_v in_o he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_n cast_v out_o and_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v but_o a_o slender_a and_o spare_a expression_n of_o his_o readiness_n to_o entertain_v such_o to_o say_v only_o i_o will_v not_o cast_v they_o out_o yet_o though_o he_o speak_v with_o the_o least_o yet_o he_o will_v do_v with_o the_o most_o he_o be_v abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n and_o one_o that_o be_v better_a than_o his_o word_n in_o the_o performance_n as_o when_o he_o say_v he_o will_v not_o despise_v a_o break_a heart_n be_v that_o all_o the_o esteem_n he_o will_v manifest_v to_o such_o a_o heart_n oh_o no_o it_o be_v the_o most_o welcome_a thing_n and_o endear_a frame_n of_o spirit_n that_o can_v be_v in_o any_o creature_n his_o meaning_n be_v to_o show_v what_o he_o elsewhere_o say_v of_o a_o meek_a spirit_n which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o a_o break_a heart_n that_o with_o god_n it_o be_v of_o great_a price_n for_o so_o in_o isaiah_n he_o express_v himself_o i_o that_o inhabit_v eternity_n with_o who_o will_v i_o dwell_v with_o a_o spirit_n that_o be_v break_v and_o contrite_a he_o use_v also_o this_o expression_n of_o not_o cast_v they_o out_o in_o relation_n and_o for_o a_o more_o direct_a answer_n unto_o the_o fear_n which_o he_o know_v usual_o possess_v the_o heart_n of_o poor_a sinner_n when_o they_o be_v about_o to_o come_v to_o he_o they_o fear_v he_o may_v reject_v they_o they_o know_v not_o their_o entertainment_n their_o welcome_n to_o meet_v with_o this_o scruple_n he_o say_v i_o will_v not_o cast_v such_o out_o choose_v rather_o thus_o to_o remove_v the_o doubt_n that_o be_v in_o their_o
