heart_n have_v former_o receive_v from_o god_n spirit_n be_v for_o sanctification_n come_v after_o justification_n and_o after_o the_o soul_n have_v receive_v faith_n and_o grace_n than_o the_o

then_o the_o lord_n give_v he_o of_o his_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v as_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o soul_n then_o by_o the_o power_n of_o that_o spirit_n the_o soul_n be_v able_a to_o run_v right_a &_o have_v a_o principle_n of_o grace_n in_o it_o and_o the_o poise_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n which_o do_v possess_v the_o soul_n make_v it_o able_a free_o to_o mourn_v for_o sin_n and_o to_o have_v the_o heart_n enlarge_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n this_o be_v main_o the_o sanctify_a work_n quest._n the_o second_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o do_v the_o lord_n work_v this_o in_o all_o and_o whether_o do_v he_o work_v it_o in_o all_o alike_o or_o no._n for_o i_o perceive_v the_o heart_n of_o many_o poor_a christian_n be_v gasp_v for_o this_o the_o lord_n never_o wrought_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o manner_n and_o my_o heart_n be_v never_o thus_o batter_v &_o bruise_v therefore_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o the_o lord_n do_v work_v this_o in_o all_o or_o no_o and_o in_o all_o alike_o answ._n for_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o question_n i_o will_v handle_v three_o thing_n first_o the_o work_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o second_o the_o manner_n be_v different_a in_o the_o most_o three_o many_o have_v it_o in_o they_o and_o yet_o perceive_v it_o not_o how_o or_o when_o it_o be_v wrought_v first_o this_o work_n of_o contrition_n of_o heart_n be_v wrought_v in_o every_o one_o in_o this_o work_n of_o preparation_n before_o he_o be_v or_o can_v be_v plant_v into_o christ_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o and_o the_o substantial_a nature_n of_o it_o scripture_n be_v plain_a and_o reason_n be_v pregnant_a scripture_n be_v many_o i_o will_v only_o name_v three_o as_o that_o in_o luke_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v 19.10_o we_o may_v observe_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o qualification_n of_o that_o party_n who_o christ_n will_v seek_v and_o save_v save_v he_o must_v be_v a_o lose_a man_n in_o his_o own_o apprehension_n second_o see_v the_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n of_o such_o a_o one_o christ_n come_v for_o this_o end_n he_o come_v to_o seek_v up_o and_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v now_o christ_n will_v not_o miss_v of_o his_o end_n he_o come_v for_o the_o lose_a sheep_n than_o the_o lose_a sheep_n he_o will_v have_v &_o though_o the_o lose_a sheep_n can_v seek_v nor_o save_v themselves_o yet_o christ_n will_v save_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v all_o man_n must_v be_v thus_o dispose_v before_o they_o can_v be_v save_v and_o if_o thus_o fit_v and_o dispose_v they_o shall_v be_v certain_o save_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a estate_n and_o damnable_a condition_n but_o he_o must_v also_o see_v it_o and_o his_o heart_n must_v be_v true_o affect_v with_o it_o and_o find_v and_o feel_v the_o but_o then_o of_o it_o not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o punishment_n but_o for_o the_o sin_n whereby_o his_o heart_n be_v estrange_v from_o god_n and_o also_o god_n from_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o the_o sensibleness_n of_o his_o lose_a condition_n be_v there_o speak_v of_o and_o this_o man_n that_o have_v it_o shall_v be_v save_v may_v appear_v because_o the_o sensibleness_n of_o a_o man_n condition_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v such_o as_o a_o man_n may_v have_v and_o yet_o never_o have_v grace_n and_o salvation_n cain_n have_v the_o feel_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o feel_v the_o punishment_n of_o it_o and_o so_o do_v judas_n also_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v never_o seek_v up_o nor_o save_v the_o second_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v out_o of_o john_n no_o man_n come_v to_o i_o except_o the_o father_n draw_v he_o 6.44_o by_o come_v you_o must_v conceive_v believe_v as_o in_o that_o famous_a place_n of_o john_n 6.35_o he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o shall_v never_o hunger_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v never_o thirst_v now_o this_o text_n imply_v two_o thing_n and_o they_o be_v profes_o grant_v by_o the_o intendment_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o the_o people_n murmur_v why_o the_o pharisy_n and_o the_o great_a one_o believe_v not_o and_o follow_v not_o christ_n to_o who_o christ_n answer_v unless_o my_o father_n from_o heaven_n draw_v they_o they_o can_v come_v so_o that_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v clear_a first_o a_o man_n must_v be_v draw_v second_o if_o he_o be_v draw_v he_o shall_v sure_o come_v this_o draw_a be_v thus_o much_o when_o god_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o a_o man_n and_o make_v know_v his_o sin_n &_o set_v down_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o he_o feel_v the_o vileness_n and_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o and_o be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o the_o fame_n when_o the_o lord_n shall_v lay_v all_o a_o man_n abomination_n upon_o he_o all_o his_o adultery_n and_o all_o his_o theft_n and_o
