HAuing now done with the summe of the words order requireth that wee should anatomize the Text and part it into seuerall members In this comparison two branches are occurrent first the comparison or similitude it selfe in these words The Winde bloweth where it listeth and thou hearest the sound thereof but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth Secondly the application of the similitude in the words following So is euery one that is borne of the Spirit Each of these two members subdiuide and spread themselues into 3. branches apeece which meeting together throughout the Text doe constitute and make three substantiall parts for me to handle The first treats of the free liberty vnresistable efficacie of the working of the holy Ghost the second containes a discourse of the sense and feeling of that holy worke in the regenerate the third comprehendeth the incomprehensiblenesse of the measure of that worke The first layde downe thus The Winde bloweth where it listeth So is euery one that is borne of the Spirit The second thus and thou hearest the sound thereof so is euery one that is borne of the Spirit The third thus but canst not tell whence it commeth and whither it goeth So is euery one that is borne of the Spirit Still this clause euery one that is borne of the Spirit being applied to euerie branch in the similitude Sect. 2.
