it_o have_v all_o these_o with_o it_o it_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n therefore_o this_o must_v be_v add_v to_o show_v the_o efficacy_n of_o

when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n it_o hold_v not_o out_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o because_o they_o fear_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n that_o be_v when_o they_o come_v to_o suffer_v a_o little_a for_o christ_n sake_n when_o they_o come_v to_o such_o a_o action_n as_o confess_v his_o name_n when_o they_o come_v to_o endure_v but_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n they_o forsake_v he_o which_o show_v that_o their_o belief_n be_v ineffectual_a so_o that_o let_v a_o man_n seem_v to_o have_v all_o the_o other_o three_o yet_o when_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o competition_n with_o any_o command_n of_o god_n when_o god_n shall_v put_v he_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o

that_o all_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o he_o do_v but_o think_v with_o yourselves_o if_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o a_o mean_a ordinary_a condition_n to_o be_v make_v a_o

why_o shall_v you_o not_o rejoice_v more_o in_o they_o they_o be_v more_o durable_a they_o be_v more_o excellent_a they_o have_v all_o in_o they_o the_o other_o have_v indeed_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v with_o the_o eye_n they_o be_v spiritual_a they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v enjoy_v and_o reserve_v for_o afterward_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v much_o for_o the_o present_a

labour_v to_o believe_v this_o the_o scripture_n often_o mention_n and_o repeat_v this_o you_o be_v a_o royal_a priesthood_n heir_n with_o christ_n labour_v to_o come_v to_o this_o disjunction_n if_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o why_o do_v you_o believe_v they_o at_o all_o if_o they_o be_v so_o why_o do_v you_o not_o rejoice_v in_o they_o proportionable_a to_o these_o privilege_n and_o so_o

that_o go_v for_o true_a faith_n which_o if_o it_o be_v examine_v be_v not_o a_o faith_n that_o save_v we_o see_v through_o the_o scripture_n much_o mention_n make_v of_o a_o certain_a faith_n which_o

as_o can_v produce_v and_o bring_v forth_o in_o they_o a_o conjugal_a affection_n which_o be_v the_o wedding_n garment_n so_o two_o of_o the_o four_o ground_n have_v faith_n 13._o they_o bring_v forth_o some_o fruit_n that_o faith_n strengthen_v and_o enable_v they_o to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o they_o do_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o true_a faith_n it_o be_v not_o the_o faith_n which_o the_o four_o ground_n have_v and_o not_o only_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n also_o there_o be_v often_o mention_v make_v of_o such_o a_o faith_n and_o of_o such_o a_o

that_o be_v not_o effectual_a and_o therefore_o we_o have_v the_o more_o need_n to_o look_v to_o it_o because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o false_a faith_n in_o the_o world_n as_o when_o you_o that_o

will_v be_v i_o thou_o must_v be_v i_o altogether_o thou_o must_v take_v up_o thy_o cross_n thou_o must_v part_v with_o any_o thing_n now_o if_o the_o young_a man_n have_v go_v away_o with_o this_o mistake_n that_o he_o have_v not_o understand_v christ_n he_o have_v become_v a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o it_o have_v be_v upon_o a_o mistake_n and_o so_o likewise_o that_o scribe_n open_v to_o who_o christ_n say_v the_o son_n of_o man_n have_v not_o whereon_o to_o lay_v his_o head_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v it_o may_v be_v thou_o look_v for_o ease_n

the_o foundation_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n you_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o i_o teach_v mere_o because_o i_o teach_v it_o but_o you_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o

what_o foundation_n have_v the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n say_v he_o christ_n be_v the_o chief_a corner_n stone_n on_o which_o they_o be_v build_v so_o that_o when_o you_o have_v this_o tract_n of_o

say_v to_o be_v build_v and_o root_v and_o ground_v in_o faith_n therefore_o as_o the_o samaritan_n say_v joh._n 4_o 44._o 4.44_o we_o believe_v not_o because_o thou_o told'_v we_o not_o for_o thy_o

to_o be_v they_o when_o they_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n of_o they_o which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o world_n than_o they_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v build_v to_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o faith_n this_o be_v that_o that_o saint_n john_n say_v 1_o joh._n 1.19_o open_v we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o god_n and_o

i_o have_v be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n i_o have_v break_v the_o covenant_n with_o he_o i_o continue_v not_o in_o that_o good_a estate_n that_o out_o of_o his_o mercy_n he_o have_v put_v i_o into_o

merciful_a his_o mercy_n do_v not_o endure_v for_o ever_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v long_o suffer_v because_o though_o your_o sin_n be_v often_o repeat_v yet_o the_o lord_n as_o often_o
