first_o promulgation_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v confirm_v from_o heaven_n by_o such_o sign_n and_o wonder_n and_o mighty_a work_n which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v wrought_v but_o by_o the_o

of_o those_o miracle_n and_o mighty_a work_n with_o which_o it_o be_v then_o attest_v nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o god_n shall_v now_o work_v miracle_n to_o convince_v the_o obstinate_a since_o the_o evidence_n he_o have_v already_o give_v be_v sufficient_a for_o those_o who_o be_v humble_a and_o teachable_a and_o will_v render_v the_o obstinate_a inexcusable_a man_n may_v

then_o that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o our_o passion_n be_v due_o exercise_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o our_o reason_n shall_v have_v first_o thorough_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n and_o

all_o of_o this_o opinion_n and_o yet_o doubtless_o they_o understand_v the_o force_n of_o those_o argument_n better_o than_o we_o do_v and_o will_v have_v yield_v to_o they_o have_v they_o think_v they_o convince_a thus_o when_o reason_n of_o itself_o will_v yield_v yet_o their_o affection_n to_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o man_n that_o maintain_v it_o make_v they_o hold_v out_o still_o and_o though_o they_o have_v a_o glimpse_n of_o truth_n they_o dare_v not_o they_o can_v receive_v it_o but_o the_o passion_n i_o intend_v principal_o to_o speak_v of_o as_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o our_o receive_v the_o truth_n be_v that_o of_o anger_n which_o be_v a_o boisterous_a unruly_a passion_n and_o disorder_v all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o make_v they_o whole_o unfit_a for_o any_o impression_n of_o truth_n a_o man_n that_o be_v angry_a and_o impatient_a will_v not_o allow_v his_o adversary_n leave_v to_o speak_v out_o half_a a_o argument_n but_o

what_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o proper_a to_o be_v say_v but_o cast_v out_o at_o random_n what_o his_o passion_n first_o suggest_v to_o he_o all_o his_o thought_n be_v then_o in_o commotion_n and_o like_o the_o trouble_a wave_n will_v not_o receive_v any_o perfect_a image_n of_o thing_n and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o hope_v to_o convince_v a_o mad_a man_n as_o he_o now_o this_o heat_n of_o

particular_a person_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o other_o to_o eternal_a damnation_n without_o any_o consideration_n of_o their_o action_n whether_o good_a or_o bad_a then_o certain_o god_fw-we can_v proceed_v in_o judgement_n according_a to_o the_o method_n before_o describe_v nor_o can_v the_o promise_n and_o threaten_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v any_o force_n of_o persuasion_n to_o engage_v

to_o persuade_v man_n if_o god_n have_v before_o determine_v that_o such_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o they_o shall_v not_o escape_v the_o wrath_n to_o come_v whatsoever_o diligence_n they_o use_v on_o their_o part_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v have_v any_o reasonable_a force_n to_o engage_v man_n to_o obedience_n if_o once_o they_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o their_o future_a state_n be_v from_o everlasting_a unalterable_o fix_v so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o fall_v short_a of_o it_o by_o any_o neglect_n nay_o upon_o this_o supposition_n all_o the_o various_a method_n of_o persuasion_n which_o god_n use_v in_o scripture_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o repentance_n and_o a_o better_a life_n prove_v nothing_o else_o but_o illusion_n and_o hypocrisy_n for_o that_o god_n shall_v so_o often_o by_o his_o holy_a prophet_n and_o apostle_n invite_v and_o exhort_v and_o beseech_v all_o man_n that_o they_o will_v turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o live_v when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o have_v exclude_v many_o miriads_o of_o man_n from_o any_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n by_o a_o absolute_a and_o irresistible_a decree_n which_o no_o endeavour_n of_o they_o can_v revoke_v or_o cancel_v this_o way_n of_o proceed_v can_v by_v any_o mean_n consist_v with_o that_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n and_o goodness_n which_o be_v inseparable_a from_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v when_o all_o man_n shall_v receive_v reward_n and_o punishment_n according_a to_o what_o they_o have_v do_v then_o certain_o no_o man_n shall_v ever_o be_v exclude_v from_o those_o reward_n but_o by_o his_o own_o fault_n nor_o yet_o any_o man_n obtain_v the_o same_o but_o by_o a_o

proceed_v at_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o last_o day_n we_o may_v also_o observe_v that_o those_o man_n do_v extreme_o mistake_v the_o condition_n of_o salvation_n who_o talk_v of_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o good_a work_n and_o obedience_n who_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o cry_v down_o the_o value_n of_o our_o good_a work_n as_o though_o they_o have_v little_a or_o no_o influence_n in_o the_o justification_n or_o salvation_n of_o a_o christian_n for_o sure_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o what_o we_o have_v do_v faith_n alone_o can_v be_v the_o whole_a condition_n require_v on_o our_o part_n in_o order_n to_o our_o salvation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o glorious_a thing_n be_v speak_v of_o faith_n in_o holy_a scripture_n but_o these_o thing_n must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o bare_a assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a importance_n of_o that_o word_n faith_n but_o of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o life_n and_o action_n such_o a_o faith_n as_o have_v influence_n upon_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n and_o be_v not_o contradict_v by_o our_o practice_n and_o conversation_n a_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n and_o be_v fruitful_a of_o good_a work_n and_o obedience_n thus_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o a_o single_a

in_o a_o more_o strict_a sense_n as_o distinct_a from_o a_o holy_a conversation_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o devil_n themselves_o may_v pretend_v to_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o

know_v withal_o that_o they_o themselves_o be_v final_o exclude_v from_o the_o benefit_n of_o they_o this_o doubtless_o be_v a_o mighty_a aggravation_n of_o their_o horror_n and_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v as_o s._n james_n do_v that_o they_o believe_v and_o tremble_v nay_o that_o this_o belief_n do_v make_v they_o tremble_v 3._o if_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o what_o we_o

the_o thing_n do_v in_o his_o body_n this_o certain_o aught_o to_o awaken_v our_o diligence_n in_o the_o business_n of_o our_o salvation_n that_o to_o day_n while_o it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n we_o
