truth_n be_v reveal_v they_o give_v way_n to_o their_o own_o proud_a scornful_a heart_n they_o know_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n god_n know_v what_o a_o jewel_n the_o truth_n be_v and_o since_o they_o despise_v it_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o believe_v lie_n and_o take_v heed_n practise_v what_o we_o know_v and_o love_v what_o we_o know_v entertain_v it_o with_o a_o love_a

we_o into_o darkness_n and_o remember_v it_o be_v god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o veil_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n and_o therefore_o make_v this_o use_n of_o it_o 2._o to_o make_v our_o study_n and_o closet_n oratory_n not_o to_o come_v to_o divine_a truth_n knowledge_n to_o out-wrastle_a the_o excellency_n of_o they_o with_o our_o own_o wit_n but_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o you_o have_v psal_n 119._o open_v my_o eye_n and_o reveal_v thy_o truth_n and_o st._n paul_n pray_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n 1_o ephes_n 19_o and_o so_o desire_n god_n to_o reveal_v and_o take_v away_o the_o veil_n from_o we_o that_o he_o will_v open_v divine_a truth_n to_o our_o soul_n that_o since_o he_o have_v the_o key_n of_o david_n that_o open_v and_o no_o man_n shut_v that_o he_o will_v open_v our_o understanding_n to_o conceive_v thing_n and_o our_o heart_n to_o believe_v he_o have_v the_o only_a key_n of_o the_o soul_n we_o can_v shut_v our_o soul_n truth_n but_o can_v open_v they_o again_o so_o we_o can_v shut_v our_o heart_n to_o divine_a truth_n we_o can_v natural_o do_v this_o but_o open_v they_o without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o can_v he_o can_v open_v our_o understanding_n as_o he_o do_v the_o disciple_n he_o can_v open_v our_o heart_n to_o believe_v he_o can_v do_v it_o and_o will_v do_v it_o if_o we_o seek_v to_o he_o he_o will_v not_o put_v back_o the_o humble_a desire_n of_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o therefore_o for_o heavenly_a light_n and_o heavenly_a revelation_n all_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n can_v do_v it_o if_o we_o know_v no_o more_o than_o we_o can_v have_v by_o book_n and_o man_n that_o teach_v we_o we_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n but_o we_o must_v have_v god_n teach_v the_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o the_o brain_n he_o must_v teach_v not_o only_o the_o truth_n themselves_o as_o they_o be_v discover_v but_o the_o love_n of_o they_o the_o faith_n in_o they_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o and_o he_o only_o can_v do_v this_o he_o only_o can_v teach_v the_o heart_n he_o only_o can_v discover_v the_o bent_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o satan_n wile_n that_o cast_v a_o cloud_n upon_o the_o understanding_n the_o spirit_n only_o can_v do_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o all_o our_o endeavour_n labour_v to_o get_v knowledge_n and_o join_v holiness_n and_o divine_a grace_n and_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v reveal_v the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n to_o we_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o we_o have_v this_o heavenly_a light_n and_o revelation_n quest_n or_o
