to_o hear_v other_o tell_v of_o he_o as_o one_o well_o say_v it_o be_v little_a to_o see_v christ_n in_o a_o book_n but_o to_o see_v he_o and_o hear_v he_o and_o feel_v his_o most_o lovely_a embrace_n as_o his_o child_n have_v witness_v that_o be_v very_o precious_a it_o be_v not_o the_o report_n or_o discourse_n of_o bread_n however_o so_o true_a and_o large_a that_o can_v satisfy_v a_o hungry_a man_n or_o the_o report_n of_o good_a drink_n that_o can_v satisfy_v a_o thirsty_a man_n but_o to_o taste_v and_o eat_v of_o bread_n that_o only_o satisfy_v he_o that_o be_v hungry_a and_o to_o taste_v and_o drink_v of_o water_n beer_n wine_n or_o any_o other_o refresh_a liquor_n only_o satisfy_v the_o thirsty_a man_n and_o so_o to_o eat_v of_o christ_n and_o feed_v upon_o he_o who_o be_v the_o soul_n be_v proper_a food_n and_o nourishment_n do_v and_o only_o can_v satisfy_v and_o content_v the_o hungry_a soul_n as_o christ_n say_v john_n 6.57_o he_o that_o eat_v i_o shall_v live_v by_o i_o and_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o soul_n meat_n but_o its_o drink_n also_o and_o therefore_o david_n say_v as_o the_o hart_n pant_v after_o the_o water-brook_n so_o pant_v my_o soul_n

without_o a_o inward_a and_o intimate_a or_o immediate_a revelation_n of_o he_o and_o if_o word_n fall_v short_a to_o give_v to_o man_n a_o sufficient_a and_o satisfactory_a knowledge_n of_o natural_a and_o outward_a thing_n how_o much_o more_o than_o to_o give_v a_o sufficient_a and_o satisfactory_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o chirst_n and_o divine_a thing_n as_o his_o love_n his_o life_n his_o

short_a to_o discover_v these_o thing_n but_o god_n have_v reveal_v they_o to_o we_o say_v paul_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o this_o god_n do_v promise_n as_o a_o general_a privilege_n to_o all_o his_o

sure_o this_o be_v beyond_o all_o word_n or_o declaration_n and_o according_a to_o this_o the_o joy_n of_o god_n people_n be_v call_v a_o joy_n unspeakable_a even_o such_o as_o word_n can_v express_v and_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o pass_v understanding_n and_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o pass_v knowledge_n because_o no_o word_n either_o speak_v or_o conceive_v by_o man_n can_v give_v the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o so_o great_a and_o divine_a and_o profound_a mystery_n but_o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n can_v discover_v they_o again_o we_o find_v by_o common_a experience_n that_o all_o outward_a teach_n of_o man_n presuppose_v certain_a principle_n of_o knowledge_n of_o natural_a thing_n which_o they_o profess_v to_o teach_v which_o principle_n be_v partly_o know_v without_o man_n teach_n by_o the_o outward_a sense_n of_o they_o and_o partly_o by_o inward_a notion_n of_o knowledge_n innate_a in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v altogether_o in_o vain_a for_o a_o master_n of_o architecture_n or_o navigation_n to_o teach_v a_o man_n these_o art_n who_o be_v altogether_o blind_a and_o senseless_a and_o stupid_a and_o have_v not_o any_o inward_a clearness_n of_o his_o natural_a judgement_n and_o even_o so_o it_o be_v as_o to_o spiritural_a and_o divine_a thing_n all_o outward_a teach_n of_o they_o do_v pre-suppose_a some_o principle_n of_o knowledge_n of_o these_o very_a thing_n and_o some_o inward_a divine_a and_o spiritual_a sense_n of_o they_o or_o at_o least_o some_o inward_a ground_n and_o capacity_n whereby_o that_o divine_a sense_n may_v be_v excite_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o when_o paul_n preach_v to_o the_o athenian_n that_o profess_v themselves_o ignorant_a of_o god_n he_o preach_v he_o act_v 17.16_o 27_o 28._o near_a unto_o they_o yea_o so_o near_o as_o the_o stock_n or_o root_n of_o a_o tree_n be_v unto_o the_o bud_n or_o offspring_n that_o grow_v upon_o it_o and_o this_o he_o prove_v from_o some_o of_o their_o own_o poet_n who_o say_v of_o man_n that_o they_o be_v god_n offspring_n and_o he_o tell_v they_o plain_o the_o way_n to_o seek_v he_o and_o find_v he_o be_v by_o feel_v he_o so_o that_o he_o join_v these_o three_o together_o to_o wit_n seek_v feel_a and_o find_v for_o as_o a_o man_n in_o a_o dark_a room_n or_o have_v his_o eye_n shut_v be_v persuade_v that_o the_o thing_n he_o desire_v to_o have_v be_v at_o hand_n or_o near_o to_o he_o do_v grope_v and_o feel_v after_o it_o and_o by_o feeling_n do_v within_o a_o little_a time_n find_v it_o even_o thus_o do_v paul_n teach_v these_o ignorant_a athenian_n how_o they_o may_v find_v god_n and_o how_o all_o man_n however_o so_o ignorant_a have_v a_o time_n or_o opportunity_n give_v they_o to_o find_v he_o god_n have_v determine_v the_o time_n before-appointed_n and_o bound_n of_o habitation_n wherein_o they_o may_v find_v he_o and_o so_o from_o this_o inward_a ground_n or_o principle_n of_o knowledge_n in_o these_o athenian_n which_o they_o have_v before_o paul_n preach_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o wise_a master-builder_n or_o teacher_n he_o proceed_v to_o preach_v christ_n and_o the_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a judgement_n unto_o they_o as_o a_o good_a master_n or_o teacher_n of_o natural_a science_n begin_v with_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o knowledge_n not_o to_o teach_v they_o but_o presuppose_v they_o and_o only_o call_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o scholar_n to_o remember_v or_o take_v notice_n of_o they_o and_o then_o from_o these_o principle_n he_o proceed_v to_o teach_v they_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o science_n 5._o but_o whereas_o many_o who_o deny_v all_o new_a revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n yet_o grant_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o inward_a illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o give_v the_o save_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o god_n and_o divine_a thing_n as_o these_o who_o give_v

forth_o such_o nonsense_n and_o contradiction_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o world_n as_o to_o grant_v the_o necessity_n of_o inward_a illumination_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n yea_o in_o the_o
