any_o time_n trouble_v in_o our_o conscience_n we_o present_o call_v some_o promise_n or_o other_o to_o mind_n in_o the_o scripture_n or_o think_v of_o some_o comfortable_a text_n and_o so_o slight_v the_o light_n in_o our_o conscience_n as_o not_o to_o be_v heed_v or_o regard_v as_o to_o receive_v and_o witness_v justification_n from_o all_o sin_n and_o trouble_v in_o and_o by_o it_o but_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o elect_v in_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o have_v know_v a_o time_n when_o he_o call_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o use_n of_o ordinance_n and_o speak_v peace_n to_o we_o afterward_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o scripture_n apply_v some_o promise_n to_o we_o and_o have_v learned_a and_o know_v these_o thing_n we_o believe_v we_o can_v never_o fall_v total_o for_o once_o in_o christ_n and_o ever_o in_o christ_n and_o the_o elect_n can_v be_v deceive_v and_o we_o believe_v ourselves_o elect_v and_o justify_v by_o christ_n without_o we_o before_o we_o have_v commit_v one_o sin_n in_o our_o own_o person_n for_o justification_n be_v but_o one_o entire_a act_n and_o be_v perfect_a but_o our_o sanctification_n be_v gradual_a and_o imperfect_a and_o salvation_n be_v not_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v but_o of_o grace_n free_o and_o so_o we_o never_o mind_v much_o what_o be_v in_o we_o we_o know_v there_o be_v enough_o in_o christ_n and_o for_o our_o sin_n they_o can_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o our_o holiness_n or_o righteousness_n though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o strict_a commend_v we_o not_o to_o god_n for_o if_o we_o be_v elect_v our_o sin_n shall_v not_o destroy_v or_o damn_v we_o and_o if_o we_o be_v reprobate_v by_o god_n our_o righteousness_n or_o strictness_n in_o holiness_n can_v help_v we_o or_o save_v we_o and_o so_o all_o our_o comfort_n be_v in_o a_o christ_n without_o we_o and_o in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o already_o but_o for_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o that_o be_v spiritual_a or_o for_o christ_n to_o be_v in_o we_o form_v there_o and_o to_o dwell_v and_o inhabit_v there_o and_o we_o to_o feel_v he_o and_o know_v his_o voice_n and_o to_o be_v silent_a until_o he_o speak_v in_o we_o and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o we_o and_o for_o he_o to_o work_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o and_o we_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o who_o work_v in_o we_o and_o not_o for_o our_o work_n be_v that_o which_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o legal_a and_o dangerous_a to_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v and_o justify_v and_o sanctify_v by_o christ_n in_o we_o the_o hope_n of_o all_o our_o glory_n this_o we_o think_v not_o spiritual_a enough_o nor_o our_o carnal_a mind_n like_v not_o to_o have_v all_o

filthiness_n present_a but_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n to_o come_v hereafter_o but_o the_o light_n which_o shine_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o let_v we_o see_v the_o thought_n and_o intent_n

it_o but_o be_v a_o narrow_a way_n and_o a_o strait_a gate_n to_o walk_v in_o and_o enter_v by_o and_o take_v up_o the_o whole_a mind_n of_o those_o that_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o and_o walk_v in_o it_o that_o they_o can_v mind_v nothing_o else_o and_o make_v they_o such_o fool_n that_o all_o wise_a man_n scoff_v at_o they_o to_o see_v how_o they_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o as_o if_o they_o care_v for_o nothing_o and_o be_v grow_v stranger_n to_o the_o world_n and_o have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o it_o but_o keep_v out_o of_o all_o its_o custom_n and_o way_n and_o fashion_n as_o if_o they_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o it_o while_o they_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o in_o it_o but_o this_o way_n we_o like_v not_o but_o rather_o a_o zeal_n for_o outward_a ordinance_n and_o outward_a

have_v they_o confound_v nor_o bring_v to_o nothing_o but_o still_o remain_v in_o that_o nature_n in_o which_o we_o can_v live_v at_o ease_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o

and_o this_o religion_n we_o like_v well_o but_o for_o to_o have_v all_o within_o like_o those_o foolish_a bewitched_a people_n call_v quaker_n we_o like_v not_o and_o for_o their_o way_n have_v we_o think_v they_o to_o have_v be_v spiritual_a enough_o and_o conformable_a enough_o to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n we_o will_v not_o have_v despise_v they_o but_o we_o account_v they_o fool_n for_o be_v so_o strict_a and_o ourselves_o wise_a for_o take_v our_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n while_o we_o may_v have_v it_o and_o yet_o go_v to_o heaven_n when_o we_o die_v before_o they_o and_o for_o to_o
