can_v not_o cure_v till_o the_o messenger_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n be_v come_v 2._o it_o be_v for_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o have_v such_o glorious_a messenger_n 3._o this_o

the_o virtue_n come_v not_o from_o the_o water_n but_o be_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n second_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o strive_v to_o go_v in_o first_o three_o to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o a_o corporal_a good_a as_o for_o a_o spiritual_a or_o to_o draw_v their_o mind_n to_o consider_v of_o his_o power_n and_o presence_n among_o they_o we_o may_v here_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n that_o as_o there_o be_v here_o a_o strife_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o water_n so_o in_o we_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o strife_n after_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o a_o endeavour_n to_o follow_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o johns_n time_n when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n but_o the_o instruction_n that_o natural_o arise_v hence_o be_v this_o that_o mean_n be_v not_o further_o powerful_a then_o god_n do_v give_v a_o blessing_n unto_o they_o so_o here_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o but_o one_o shall_v be_v cure_v he_o that_o come_v in_o after_o the_o first_o find_v no_o help_n the_o water_n be_v but_o common_a water_n to_o he_o so_o the_o sea_n that_o be_v a_o wall_n to_o the_o israelite_n drown_v the_o egyptian_n so_o 1_o cor._n 3.7_o for_o although_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o mean_n yet_o he_o still_o retain_v his_o power_n over_o they_o and_o without_o the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o creature_n be_v neither_o willing_a or_o able_a to_o do_v we_o good_a wherefore_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n let_v we_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o a_o blessing_n and_o depend_v on_o he_o not_o dote_v upon_o the_o mean_n as_o asa_n do_v on_o his_o physician_n yet_o further_o in_o this_o restraint_n observe_v also_o a_o extent_n for_o although_o but_o the_o first_o be_v cure_v yet_o whosoever_o this_o first_o be_v and_o of_o whatsoever_o disease_n he_o be_v sick_a he_o be_v certain_o cure_v which_o show_v that_o god_n in_o bestow_v of_o his_o gift_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n and_o the_o reason_n for_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o work_n be_v in_o himself_o and_o from_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o not_o from_o any_o thing_n in_o man_n which_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o encouragement_n to_o all_o to_o come_v to_o god_n the_o issue_n or_o effect_n may_v be_v consider_v first_o in_o itself_o 2._o in_o the_o extent_n the_o former_a be_v that_o he_o that_o step_v into_o the_o water_n be_v sure_o cure_v whence_o in_o general_n arise_v this_o doctrine_n that_o a_o right_a use_n of_o the_o mean_v appoint_v by_o god_n and_o use_v in_o that_o manner_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v shall_v assure_o be_v effectual_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o example_n of_o naaman_n and_o the_o blind_a man_n who_o christ_n bid_v go_v and_o wash_v reason_n be_v because_o god_n honour_n and_o truth_n be_v herein_o engage_v he_o have_v promise_v so_o much_o wherefore_o we_o may_v rest_v on_o it_o object_n but_o many_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o reap_v no_o benefit_n by_o it_o answer_n it_o be_v because_o they_o hear_v it_o not_o as_o they_o ought_v for_o nor_o he_o that_o go_v into_o the_o water_n but_o he_o that_o go_v in_o first_o be_v cure_v so_o they_o only_o receive_v profit_n by_o the_o word_n that_o

of_o they_o the_o extent_n be_v that_o they_o be_v cure_v of_o whatsoever_o disease_n they_o have_v doct._n god_n be_v able_a to_o cure_v all_o dissease_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o consolation_n
