conclusion_n do_v not_o stand_v so_o entire_o on_o scripture_n as_o a_o direct_a act_n of_o faith_n do_v seven_o faith_n be_v more_o pure_o faith_n then_o assurance_n be_v in_o faith_n we_o look_v off_o from_o ourselves_o thus_o the_o apostle_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d look_v off_o from_o ourselves_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n hebr._n 12.2_o but_o in_o assurance_n we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o by_o reflect_v on_o our_o own_o estate_n while_o faith_n go_v out_o of_o self_n and_o hang_v upon_o freegrace_n in_o one_o promise_n or_o other_o assurance_n be_v at_o home_n tell_v over_o its_o riches_n and_o fare_v delicious_o every_o day_n in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o faith_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a dependence_n but_o in_o assurance_n there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o sense_n if_o a_o poor_a man_n in_o his_o rag_n and_o extremity_n leave_v himself_o upon_o god_n for_o daily_a bread_n as_o have_v nothing_o and_o yet_o possess_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o promise_n his_o faith_n be_v more_o pure_o faith_n then_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v who_o have_v creature-comfort_n flow_v about_o he_o and_o run_v in_o at_o every_o sense_n if_o one_o poor_a in_o spirit_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o want_n and_o spiritual_a necessitle_n cast_v himself_o upon_o freegrace_n it_o be_v more_o mere_a faith_n then_o for_o one_o to_o sit_v under_o assurance_n with_o pot_n of_o manna_n and_o spiritual_a flagon_n round_o about_o he_o when_o jacob_n hear_v the_o report_n of_o a_o live_a joseph_n and_o put_v himself_o upon_o the_o chariot_n send_v for_o he_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a belief_n but_o when_o he_o see_v joseph_n face_n his_o eye_n be_v witness_n of_o the_o thing_n when_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o see_v no_o light_n will_v yet_o hang_v on_o the_o report_n of_o a_o jesus_n and_o put_v himself_o upon_o the_o chariot_n of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o pure_a faith_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o see_v the_o light_n of_o god_n face_n and_o in_o it_o a_o piece_n of_o the_o heavenly_a vision_n it_o be_v not_o all_o faith_n but_o faith_n and_o sight_n together_o thus_o far_o of_o the_o second_o proposition_n that_o faith_n be_v less_o than_o assurance_n in_o which_o phrase_n i_o intend_v not_o a_o comparison_n between_o they_o in_o point_n of_o dignity_n but_o only_o that_o precious_a faith_n such_o as_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v real_o be_v where_o the_o garland_n of_o assurance_n be_v not_o superad_v as_o a_o king_n be_v real_o a_o king_n before_o his_o coronation_n so_o faith_n be_v real_o faith_n before_o it_o be_v crown_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n these_o two_o proposition_n make_v good_a i_o come_v at_o last_o to_o gather_v up_o my_o first_o reason_n faith_n be_v more_o than_o a_o naked_a assent_n to_o the_o gospel_n and_o less_o than_o a_o assurance_n of_o love_n and_o pardon_n from_o god_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o middle_a thing_n between_o both_o such_o as_o resignation_n be_v let_v we_o put_v another_o practical_a syllogism_n whosoever_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o i_o believe_v ergo_fw-la i_o shall_v be_v save_v the_o major_a proposition_n be_v the_o object_n of_o assent_n the_o conclusion_n be_v a_o act_n of_o assurance_n but_o the_o minor_a or_o middle_a proposition_n be_v a_o act_n of_o faith_n or_o resignation_n resignation_n include_v assent_v and_o which_o be_v more_o it_o yield_v up_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o it_o do_v not_o immediate_o arrive_v at_o assurance_n as_o it_o be_v with_o jacob_n when_o he_o hear_v his_o mother_n counsel_n touch_v the_o blessing_n between_o his_o assent_n to_o the_o counsel_n and_o his_o audible_a hear_v the_o blessing_n pronounce_v on_o he_o there_o be_v a_o put_n on_o the_o garment_n of_o his_o elder_a brother_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o believer_n when_o his_o heavenly_a father_n offer_v he_o the_o evangelical_n blessing_n between_o his_o assent_n and_o his_o assurance_n of_o the_o blessing_n there_o be_v a_o put_n on_o the_o robe_n of_o christ_n rightcousness_n a_o mere_a assentor_n have_v as_o it_o be_v but_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o eye_n in_o look_v on_o the_o rich_a treasure_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o young_a believer_n have_v a_o real_a title_n thereunto_o and_o a_o man_n of_o assmance_n over_o and_o above_o his_o title_n be_v able_a to_o bring_v his_o evidence_n and_o read_v they_o to_o his_o comfort_n second_o that_o faith_n consist_v in_o resignation_n will_v appear_v from_o the_o
