to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v propose_v so_o do_v it_o not_o concern_v any_o but_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v propose_v true_o and_o upon_o true_a account_n that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o the_o proper_a argument_n which_o our_o saviour_n use_v to_o confirm_v his_o doctrine_n if_o his_o doctrine_n be_v not_o true_o propose_v it_o be_v not_o real_o his_o doctrine_n but_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o preacher_n and_o it_o be_v not_o any_o man_n own_o opinion_n but_o it_o be_v the_o true_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n belong_v and_o then_o further_o if_o the_o very_a true_a doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o propound_v by_o true_a argument_n by_o those_o argument_n and_o demonstration_n which_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n have_v afford_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o it_o may_v possible_o fail_v of_o gain_v credit_n for_o want_n of_o true_a and_o proper_a evidence_n if_o man_n shall_v labour_v to_o prove_v the_o gospel_n by_o argument_n of_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o not_o by_o miracle_n and_o prediction_n not_o by_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a argument_n which_o be_v intend_v for_o its_o proof_n the_o weakness_n of_o they_o that_o do_v propose_v it_o may_v prejudice_v the_o truth_n which_o be_v propose_v and_o that_o with_o those_o very_a man_n themselves_o who_o be_v dispose_v to_o entertain_v it_o 2._o now_o these_o be_v they_o who_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n when_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v his_o will_n if_o any_o man_n say_v christ_n will_v do_v his_o will_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o be_v so_o dispose_v so_o affect_v towards_o god_n as_o that_o he_o be_v i_o willing_a to_o do_v or_o suffer_v whatsoever_o god_n shall_v require_v of_o he_o when_o it_o appear_v that_o god_n require_v it_o whosoever_o be_v upright_o and_o sincere_a not_o prejudice_v by_o any_o inordinate_a lust_n by_o pride_n or_o avarice_n or_o sensuality_n but_o willing_a to_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o god_n this_o man_n will_v believe_v the_o gospel_n when_o true_o and_o sufficient_o propound_v to_o he_o propound_v as_o it_o be_v to_o we_o 2._o so_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o consequent_a if_o any_o man_n will_v do_v his_o will_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o the_o doctrine_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o whether_o i_o speak_v of_o myself_o 1._o in_o which_o consequent_a the_o doctrine_n be_v that_o which_o be_v teach_v by_o christ_n and_o that_o which_o he_o teach_v be_v his_o gospel_n 2._o and_o then_o whereas_o it_o be_v further_o add_v that_o if_o any_o man_n will_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o the_o doctrine_n whether_o our_o lord_n speak_v of_o himself_o or_o whether_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n this_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n at_o all_o whether_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n or_o not_o but_o as_o a_o peremptorory_n affirmation_n that_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o whosoever_o be_v so_o dispose_v and_o incline_v as_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v god_n will_v will_v ready_o believe_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n when_o true_o and_o sufficient_o propound_v to_o he_o these_o thing_n explain_v the_o observation_n the_o word_n offer_v we_o be_v this_o that_o a_o hearty_a and_o sincere_a inclination_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o god_n command_v be_v a_o most_o powerful_a preparation_n to_o understand_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o none_o but_o they_o who_o be_v thus_o prepare_v do_v ever_o believe_v or_o understand_v it_o for_o experience_n often_o hew_v the_o contrary_a this_o it_o show_v in_o all_o thole_n person_n who_o believe_v it_o and_o yet_o obey_v it_o not_o and_o of_o these_o no_o doubt_n there_o be_v great_a number_n but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o they_o who_o be_v real_o thus_o dispose_v be_v under_o a_o powerful_a preparation_n to_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o will_v appear_v from_o several_a reason_n for_o 1._o first_o of_o all_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o be_v thus_o prepare_v whole_a heart_n and_o will_n be_v sincere_o bend_v to_o do_v whatsoever_o god_n shall_v command_v he_o the_o same_o person_n will_v not_o neglect_v the_o use_n of_o sincere_a and_o true_a endeavour_n to_o inform_v himself_o especial_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n which_o threaten_v no_o less_o than_o death_n eternal_a to_o they_o that_o refuse_v and_o disobey_v it_o and_o promise_v everlasting_a happiness_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v it_o and_o obey_v it_o whosoever_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v god_n will_v when_o he_o know_v it_o be_v willing_a to_o know_v and_o understand_v it_o in_o order_n to_o the_o do_v of_o it_o the_o same_o probity_n the_o same_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n and_o will_n which_o do_v dispose_v he_o to_o the_o one_o dispose_v he_o also_o to_o the_o other_o he_o that_o will_v not_o endeavour_v to_o know_v god_n will_v will_v not_o obey_v it_o though_o he_o know_v it_o he_o that_o will_v obey_v it_o when_o he_o know_v it_o will_v labour_v sincere_o to_o know_v it_o also_o and_o certain_o this_o be_v a_o fair_a step_n to_o gain_v the_o belief_n and_o knowledge_n of_o it_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o the_o whole_a gospel_n that_o any_o one_o man_n refute_v the_o gospel_n who_o due_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v and_o the_o miracle_n do_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o nicodemus_n consider_v these_o miracle_n conclude_v that_o christ_n be_v send_v of_o god_n rabbi_n say_v he_o we_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o teacher_n come_v from_o god_n for_o no_o man_n can_v do_v these_o miracle_n except_o god_n be_v with_o he_o john_n 3.2_o lydia_n attend_v to_o the_o gospel_n ready_o believe_v and_o entertain_v it_o act_n 16.14_o the_o berean_o who_o apply_v themselves_o to_o consider_v the_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o they_o

endeavour_n to_o understand_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o every_o sincere_a person_n do_v shall_v not_o fail_v to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n due_o and_o right_o propound_v to_o he_o 2._o add_v hereunto_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o a_o true_a and_o hearty_a inclination_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o god_n command_v remove_v those_o inward_a disposition_n of_o pride_n and_o avarice_n and_o sensuality_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o infidelity_n truth_n have_v no_o enemy_n but_o vice_n man_n never_o disbelieve_v the_o gospel_n but_o upon_o some_o prejudice_n they_o have_v against_o it_o nor_o be_v they_o prejudice_v against_o the_o gospel_n but_o by_o their_o lust_n which_o it_o forbid_v and_o threaten_v with_o most_o severe_a punishment_n this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o
