eye_n gal._n 2.20_o there_o you_o have_v this_o character_n i_o live_v say_v paul_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o here_o be_v his_o assurance_n what_o then_o do_v this_o lift_n up_o paul_n no_o it_o make_v he_o more_o vile_a i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o paul_n recollect_n himself_o i_o live_v no_o it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o live_v but_o christ_n that_o live_v in_o i_o see_v how_o paul_n be_v beat_v off_o from_o a_o supercilious_a pride_n and_o exaltation_n of_o spirit_n in_o himself_o it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o live_v the_o thought_n of_o his_o comfort_n make_v he_o recollect_v himself_o and_o seem_v vile_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n whereas_o alas_o false_a persuasion_n puff_n up_o the_o soul_n with_o pride_n and_o make_v a_o man_n supercilious_a and_o high_a conceit_a cry_v out_o as_o jehu_n do_v jonadab_n be_v thy_o heart_n like_o i_o come_v see_v my_o zeal_n for_o the_o lord_n they_o make_v he_o proud_a like_o jehu_n in_o his_o false_a persuasion_n six_o sound_a comfort_n and_o real_a assurance_n do_v engage_v the_o soul_n to_o walk_v before_o god_n in_o a_o course_n of_o holiness_n psal_n 26.3_o thy_o love_a kindness_n be_v before_o my_o eye_n that_o be_v i_o be_o assure_v if_o i_o see_v the_o thing_n with_o my_o eye_n that_o god_n love_a kindness_n be_v towards_o i_o what_o then_o and_o i_o will_v walk_v in_o thy_o truth_n i_o will_v walk_v before_o thou_o with_o a_o holy_a and_o sincere_a heart_n and_o i_o will_v not_o haunt_v with_o vain_a person_n ver_fw-la 4_o and_o i_o will_v wash_v my_o hand_n in_o innocency_n ver_fw-la 6_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o you_o see_v david_n will_v walk_v in_o a_o course_n of_o holiness_n because_o he_o have_v a_o evidence_n and_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n to_o he_o so_o 1_o john_n 3.3_o he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purify_v himself_o even_o as_o christ_n be_v pure_a that_o be_v a_o man_n that_o do_v nourish_v hope_n and_o persuasion_n of_o heaven_n his_o hope_n will_v make_v he_o a_o christian_a endeavour_v to_o purify_v his_o own_o heart_n and_o to_o be_v holy_a as_o christ_n be_v holy_a this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o true_a assurance_n but_o now_o for_o false_a assurance_n the_o man_n that_o have_v it_o do_v not_o look_v after_o holiness_n at_o all_o he_o think_v himself_o well_o enough_o 18._o that_o he_o have_v attain_v that_o which_o every_o wise_a man_n shall_v rest_v in_o without_o meddle_v any_o far_o nay_o he_o be_v so_o far_o lay_v bond_n upon_o himself_o to_o walk_v in_o a_o course_n of_o holiness_n that_o he_o will_v rather_o take_v encouragement_n from_o thence_o to_o walk_v in_o a_o way_n of_o looseness_n and_o profaneness_n because_o grace_n abound_v he_o will_v abound_v in_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o ill_a use_n that_o false_a comfort_n make_v of_o god_n grace_n and_o therefore_o beloved_n look_v over_o your_o heart_n do_v the_o comfort_n you_o pretend_v to_o have_v and_o the_o assurance_n you_o pretend_v to_o enjoy_v make_v you_o more_o to_o pursue_v holiness_n that_o you_o can_v say_v as_o david_n do_v i_o see_v thy_o love_a kindness_n be_v before_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v love_v thy_o way_n and_o hate_v sinfulness_n or_o can_v you_o say_v you_o have_v comfort_n therefore_o yo●_n will_v run_v into_o sin_n and_o wallow_v in_o wickedness_n this_o be_v a_o argument_n thy_o comfort_n be_v not_o true_a seven_o true_a assurance_n it_o be_v get_v and_o keep_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o diligence_n and_o industry_n

without_o look_v after_o whereas_o alas_o the_o flower_n of_o true_a comfort_n and_o save_a assurance_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o make_v it_o grow_v and_o when_o it_o be_v grow_v it_o be_v hard_o to_o

that_o bear_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n psal_n 119.49_o good_a be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n wherein_o thou_o have_v cause_v thy_o servant_n to_o hope_v so_o ver_fw-la 50_o 51._o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o bottom_n the_o comfort_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n whereas_o look_v now_o upon_o wicked_a man_n and_o they_o neither_o get_v their_o comfort_n by_o the_o word_n nor_o do_v they_o ground_n upon_o the_o word_n but_o first_o they_o have_v have_v strong_a hope_n in_o god_n ever_o since_o they_o can_v remember_v and_o second_o they_o keep_v and_o ground_n they_o either_o upon_o their_o good_a meaning_n that_o they_o mean_v well_o towards_o god_n or_o else_o three_o they_o ground_n they_o upon_o this_o that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o bad_a as_o other_o man_n be_v a_o poor_a weak_a ground_n the_o pharisee_n can_v say_v so_o i_o be_o no_o extortioner_n no_o drunkard_n no_o adulterer_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o never_o come_v to_o heaven_n for_o

of_o presumption_n hos_fw-la 12.8_o ephraim_n say_v i_o be_o become_v rich_a and_o i_o have_v find_v i_o out_o substance_n in_o all_o my_o labour_n they_o shall_v find_v no_o iniquity_n in_o i_o that_o be_v sin_n ephraim_n will_v say_v i_o be_o become_v rich_a and_o have_v get_v i_o a_o estate_n and_o now_o i_o be_o a_o honest_a man_n and_o they_o shall_v find_v no_o sin_n in_o i_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a presumption_n because_o god_n tell_v we_o eccl._n 9.1_o no_o man_n know_v either_o love_n or_o hatred_n by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v before_o he_o and_o sometime_o say_v solomon_n god_n give_v m●n_z riches_n to_o their_o hurt_n and_o therefore_o this_o can_v be_v no_o evidence_n of_o a_o ground_a assurance_n nine_o that_o man_n that_o have_v a_o good_a assurance_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v try_v either_o by_o god_n or_o man_n touch_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o assurance_n this_o you_o find_v psal_n 26.2_o 3._o try_v i_o o_o lord_n examine_v i_o prove_v i_o

in_o my_o eye_n that_o i_o be_o assure_v thou_o love_v i_o lord_n i_o put_v my_o soul_n upon_o the_o trial_n do_v thou_o try_v i_o if_o my_o heart_n be_v not_o right_a in_o my_o assurance_n and_o
