of_o the_o excellency_n and_o felicity_n of_o eternal_a life_n they_o conceive_v these_o thing_n in_o their_o understanding_n &_o for_o the_o greatness_n of_o they_o they_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n move_v and_o when_o they_o talk_v of_o they_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o they_o but_o the_o difference_n that_o there_o be_v between_o they_o &_o the_o child_n of_o god_n lie_v chief_o in_o this_o that_o the_o apprehension_n and_o feeling_n of_o the_o reprobat_fw-la be_v such_o as_o a_o man_n may_v have_v in_o the_o read_n or_o tell_v of_o a_o history_n which_o touch_v we_o nothing_o at_o all_o but_o the_o feeling_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v as_o of_o a_o matter_n that_o touch_v themselves_o let_v we_o consider_v for_o example_n the_o history_n of_o joseph_n

my_o glory_n then_o throw_v himself_o upon_o the_o neck_n of_o benjamin_n his_o brother_n he_o weep_v and_o in_o like_a manner_n benjamin_n weep_v upon_o his_o neck_n after_o kiss_v all_o his_o brethren_n he_o weep_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v he_o i_o say_v which_o be_v not_o touch_v and_o weep_v not_o with_o they_o but_o because_o this_o be_v a_o history_n of_o the_o fact_n of_o a_o other_o these_o motion_n &_o feeling_n soon_o pass_v away_o so_o as_o have_v turn_v the_o lease_n or_o talk_v of_o another_o matter_n all_o these_o feeling_n be_v vanish_v and_o go_v so_o be_v the_o feel_n of_o the_o reprobate_n hear_v or_o read_v the_o testimony_n of_o so_o great_a a_o mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n and_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o understanding_n &_o apprehension_n of_o these_o thing_n cause_v some_o motion_n or_o feeling_n in_o they_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o these_o good_a thing_n appertain_v not_o unto_o they_o neither_o do_v the_o feeling_n that_o they_o have_v take_v any_o seat_n or_o root_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o be_v easy_o quench_v and_o vanish_v away_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o feeling_n that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v be_v as_o of_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o appertain_v unto_o they_o &_o therefore_o it_o may_v well_o be_v cold_a and_o drowsy_a but_o not_o die_v as_o also_o the_o feeling_n that_o joseph_n and_o his_o brethren_n have_v be_v such_o as_o although_o they_o have_v they_o not_o when_o they_o sleep_v yet_o when_o they_o awake_v they_o return_v again_o and_o although_o that_o by_o the_o death_n of_o their_o father_n they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v interrupt_v yet_o the_o benefit_n and_o the_o comfort_n abode_n by_o they_o still_o follow_v this_o that_o be_v above_o say_v we_o say_v bold_o that_o what_o feeling_n what_o illumination_n or_o apprehension_n so_o ever_o the_o reprobate_n have_v so_o it_o be_v that_o they_o never_o feel_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o they_o give_v they_o testimony_n that_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o according_a to_o this_o testimony_n they_o shall_v be_v and_o shall_v abide_v the_o child_n of_o god_n see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v neither_o deceive_v nor_o lie_v as_o also_o after_o that_o god_n have_v make_v we_o once_o feel_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o be_v his_o child_n we_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v perish_v but_o that_o we_o be_v indeed_o and_o shall_v continue_v the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o testimony_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n also_o he_o that_o give_v faith_n 3.6_o mal._n 3.6_o do_v not_o change_v &_o therefore_o his_o gift_n be_v without_o repentance_n 11.29_o ro._n 11.29_o the_o second_o difference_n may_v be_v take_v from_o this_o word_n 6.4_o heb._n 6.4_o taste_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v to_o weet_v that_o the_o reprobate_n be_v like_a to_o he_o who_o have_v taste_v a_o good_a piece_n of_o wine_n make_v show_n as_o if_o he_o will_v buy_v it_o understand_v the_o price_n &_o not_o willing_a to_o give_v so_o much_o leave_v it_o there_o without_o buy_v or_o drink_v of_o it_o any_o more_o so_o the_o reprobate_n have_v taste_v the_o heavenly_a good_a thing_n find_v they_o good_a and_o praise_v they_o exceed_o after_o they_o understand_v the_o price_n that_o be_v that_o they_o must_v renounce_v themselves_o and_o bear_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n to_o go_v to_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v for_o they_o with_o his_o precious_a blood_n they_o will_v none_o of_o it_o at_o this_o price_n &_o so_o renounce_v these_o good_a thing_n without_o drink_v or_o imoy_v they_o but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n on_o the_o other_o side_n have_v never_o so_o little_a a_o taste_n of_o these_o heavenly_a treasure_n desire_v in_o such_o sort_n to_o have_v the_o enjoy_n of_o they_o that_o they_o make_v resolution_n to_o forsake_v all_o to_o enjoy_v it_o we_o will_v add_v this_o three_o reason_n that_o as_o those_o that_o have_v their_o stomach_n charge_v with_o evil_a humour_n cease_v not_o to_o eat_v sometime_o for_o all_o that_o yea_o and_o to_o find_v taste_n in_o some_o good_a meat_n but_o be_v constrain_v after_o through_o the_o evil_a disposition_n of_o their_o stomach_n to_o cast_v it_o up_o again_o &_o to_o vomit_v so_o some_o reprobate_n have_v within_o they_o a_o evil_a conscience_n may_v well_o taste_v the_o good_a heavenly_a gift_n but_o this_o evil_a conscience_n not_o be_v able_a to_o agree_v with_o the_o true_a &_o sure_a faith_n of_o the_o hart_n stop_v that_o these_o gift_n take_v no_o root_n to_o fructify_v to_o salvation_n so_o that_o final_o they_o cast_v it_o off_o or_o let_v it_o wither_v &_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o this_o reason_n with_o those_o before_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n for_o the_o which_o many_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v revolt_n as_o we_o will_v show_v hereafter_o more_o at_o large_a on_o the_o contrary_a those_o who_o have_v faith_n be_v assure_v that_o though_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v often_o weak_a in_o they_o &_o like_o fire_n cover_v with_o ash_n &_o tree_n in_o the_o winter_n yet_o it_o can_v never_o come_v to_o nought_o or_o die_v rather_o they_o recover_v

these_o foul_a and_o gross_a fault_n of_o david_n and_o of_o s._n peter_n &_o of_o other_o be_v set_v before_o we_o first_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v to_o we_o as_o a_o mirror_n of_o the_o
