i_o think_v it_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o that_o own_o the_o christian_a religion_n that_o this_o remarkable_a place_n refer_v to_o christ_n the_o true_a seed_n and_o heir_n of_o promise_n who_o

interpretation_n allot_v as_o that_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o the_o church_n to_o be_v sure_a here_o be_v enough_o to_o maintain_v our_o position_n viz._n that_o god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n more_o particular_o have_v give_v his_o good_a spirit_n for_o a_o instructor_n judge_n rule_n and_o guide_n in_o all_o that_o concern_v the_o eternal_a wellbeing_a of_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n as_o i_o proceed_v to_o prove_v if_o that_o very_o same_o eternal_a holy_a and_o unerring_a spirit_n which_o god_n pour_v out_o upon_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o

the_o dead_a and_o so_o become_v member_n of_o his_o own_o glorious_a body_n then_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n destitute_a of_o his_o uner_a spirit_n not_o leave_v to_o their_o own_o frail_a and_o fallible_a judgement_n to_o determine_v of_o what_o be_v right_o or_o wrong_n what_o man_n shall_v believe_v and_o what_o not_o how_o they_o shall_v walk_v and_o how_o not_o but_o so_o gracious_a be_v the_o promise_n and_o so_o certain_a be_v the_o performance_n as_o we_o live_o witness_v against_o all_o the_o dry_a cavil_v letter-m●ngers_a in_o the_o world_n who_o quarrel_v about_o the_o holy-mens_n word_n and_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o conviction_n judgement_n trial_n tribulation_n temptation_n and_o travel_n they_o undergo_v in_o order_n to_o that_o knowledge_n they_o have_v and_o which_o fret_v their_o serpentine_a nature_n who_o vulturous_a eye_n will_v in_o its_o unregenerate_a state_n of_o worldly_a wisdom_n that_o know_v not_o god_n fain_o without_o the_o death_n

most_o pregnant_a instance_n in_o the_o express_a language_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o our_o assertion_n that_o with_o reverence_n we_o will_v say_v it_o scarce_o can_v it_o have_v be_v more_o exact_o and_o emphatical_o word_v as_o i_o proceed_v to_o show_v 1._o that_o this_o passage_n have_v a_o relation_n to_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n or_o come_v of_o the_o

of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v place_v within_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o his_o people_n and_o consequent_o they_o can_v not_o be_v proper_o and_o true_o under_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o

purpose_v aforementioned_a be_v the_o very_a badge_n condition_n and_o mark_v of_o the_o new_a and_o last_o covenant_n 3._o it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o mean_n under_o the_o gospel_n by_o which_o god_n cause_v his_o child_n to_o keep_v his_o statute_n etc._n etc._n i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n within_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o statute_n and_o you_o shall_v keep_v my_o

spirit_n within_o his_o people_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o that_o it_o be_v thereby_o he_o do_v and_o do_v cause_v they_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o statute_n and_o keep_v his_o judgement_n then_o god_n child_n be_v not_o without_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o leader_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o we_o plain_o see_v and_o read_v from_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n give_v his_o spirit_n or_o light_v within_o to_o judge_n lead_v and_o guide_n and_o consequent_o the_o opposite_a doctrine_n be_v both_o false_a and_o very_o pernicious_a i_o may_v further_o argue_v thus_o that_o if_o god_n unerring_a spirit_n only_o enable_v man_n to_o walk_v in_o his_o statute_n and_o keep_v his_o

to_o most_v who_o be_v inquisitive_a after_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o how_o hard_o it_o bear_v upon_o the_o antispiritual_a opinion_n of_o our_o cavil_v adversary_n though_o very_o evident_a yet_o we_o shall_v further_o proceed_v to_o show_v 1._o here_o be_v god_n royal_a engagement_n to_o effuse_n or_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o bless_a spirit_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o new_a

servant_n mark_v the_o universality_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o grace_n now_o from_o hence_o i_o argue_v if_o god_n unerring_a spirit_n be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o on_o all_o under_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o time_n thereof_o then_o have_v god_n pour_v out_o of_o his_o uner_a spirit_n as_o aforesaid_a that_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o under_o the_o

that_o god_n have_v pour_v forth_o of_o his_o holy_a and_o unerring_a spirit_n again_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v that_o without_o which_o none_o can_v obtain_v prophecy_n and_o vision_n and_o that_o prophecy_n and_o vision_n be_v christian-church_n gift_n then_o since_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v without_o prophecy_n and_o vision_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n it_o follow_v she_o can_v be_v without_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n or_o thus_o if_o without_o have_v the_o spirit_n none_o can_v have_v prophecy_n and_o vision_n and_o that_o prophecy_n and_o vision_n be_v both_o to_o be_v and_o to_o continue_v in_o christ_n church_n universal_o than_o it_o will_v natural_o follow_v that_o she_o can_v be_v without_o
