authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o assent_v to_o his_o doctrine_n now_o this_o assent_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v require_v in_o order_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n religion_n because_o it_o

of_o god_n the_o very_a christ_n send_v by_o his_o father_n from_o heaven_n to_o help_v mankind_n thither_o this_o put_v a_o divine_a stamp_n upon_o the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n it_o give_v

the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v infallible_o true_a upon_o this_o account_n the_o belief_n of_o christ_n authority_n and_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o his_o religion_n be_v the_o first_o thing_n necessary_a and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o his_o first_o disciple_n take_v such_o pain_n every_o where_o to_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v the_o very_a christ_n and_o inculcate_v the_o necessity_n of_o faith_n in_o he_o for_o this_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o bring_v the_o world_n in_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o nothing_o but_o this_o can_v prevail_v with_o man_n to_o observe_v christ_n institution_n with_o such_o strictness_n as_o the_o primitive_a christian_a do_v and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o it_o to_o venture_v and_o undergo_v upon_o

we_o in_o stead_n if_o it_o be_v only_o a_o notion_n in_o our_o head_n if_o it_o be_v a_o liveless_a and_o unfruitful_a persuasion_n if_o it_o be_v naked_a and_o alone_a if_o it_o have_v not_o that_o

we_o may_v safe_o rely_v on_o and_o therefore_o st._n paul_n describe_v that_o assent_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o avail_v indeed_o call_v it_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n gal._n 5._o 6._o or_o as_o some_o learned_a critic_n will_v rather_o render_v it_o faith_n which_o be_v consummate_v and_o perfect_v by_o charity_n the_o truth_n be_v all_o our_o notion_n be_v very_o imperfect_a thing_n without_o this_o and_o though_o these_o notion_n be_v never_o so_o right_a and_o orthodox_n yet_o be_v they_o vast_o short_a of_o our_o true_a duty_n till_o they_o reach_v our_o heart_n and_o make_v we_o to_o open_v our_o bowel_n towards_o other_o man_n and_o to_o exercise_v our_o hand_n in_o office_n of_o love_n and_o therefore_o since_o without_o a_o spirit_n of_o charity_n nothing_o will_v avail_v we_o nor_o answer_v the_o great_a end_n of_o christ_n religion_n no_o not_o our_o very_a faith_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 13._o though_o i_o have_v all_o

infinite_a concernment_n to_o we_o all_o so_o to_o subdue_v our_o mind_n and_o passion_n as_o to_o approve_v ourselves_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o hearty_a disciple_n of_o a_o meek_a and_o charitable_a jesus_n many_o voluminous_a disputation_n have_v be_v write_v which_o may_v have_v be_v better_o spare_v about_o faith_n and_o work_n and_o justification_n whether_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o or_o by_o both_o and_o great_a endeavour_n have_v be_v use_v to_o reconcile_v st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n upon_o this_o point_n rather_o i_o may_v say_v to_o

plain_o and_o particulary_a upon_o the_o point_n of_o charity_n here_o the_o most_o vulgar_a eye_n may_v see_v their_o clear_a agreement_n in_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n say_v st._n paul_n gal._n 5._o 6._o and_o he_o shall_v have_v judgement_n without_o mercy_n that_o have_v show_v no_o mercy_n say_v st._n james_n jam._n 2._o 13._o therefore_o in_o a_o case_n that_o be_v so_o positive_o and_o full_o decide_v we_o shall_v leave_v controversy_n and_o fall_v to_o practice_n and_o study_v how_o to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a work_n rather_o than_o how_o to_o make_v our_o brain_n prolific_a this_o be_v the_o right_a way_n of_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o evangelical_n covenant_n and_o of_o bring_v peace_n and_o comfort_n to_o our_o own_o mind_n i_o be_o sure_a when_o we_o come_v to_o die_v it_o will_v turn_v to_o far_o better_a account_n for_o our_o poor_a soul_n than_o all_o the_o dispute_n which_o we_o shall_v leave_v behind_o we_o and_o which_o we_o shall_v leave_v too_o with_o this_o great_a question_n which_o perhaps_o will_v never_o be_v determine_v whether_o man_n

without_o due_a qualification_n on_o our_o part_n because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a happiness_n but_o where_o there_o be_v a_o correspondence_n and_o suitableness_n between_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o thing_n if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o please_v with_o what_o he_o enjoy_v nor_o find_v any_o delightful_a relish_n in_o it_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v happy_a by_o enjoy_v it_o nor_o can_v heaven_n itself_o be_v a_o place_n of_o pleasure_n to_o those_o who_o mind_n have_v as_o little_a taste_n of_o those_o divine_a satisfaction_n as_o a_o vitiate_a palate_n have_v of_o the_o
