into_o your_o mind_n leave_v not_o these_o motion_n till_o you_o have_v bring_v they_o into_o action_n holy_a motion_n shall_v be_v back_v with_o holy_a resolution_n which_o also_o shall_v be_v

this_o question_n quest_n quest_n how_o you_o may_v know_v man_n who_o pretend_v to_o have_v the_o spirit_n when_o indeed_o they_o have_v not_o answ_n 1_o such_o man_n who_o only_o pretend_v to_o

as_o many_o do_v and_o so_o at_o another_o time_n say_v he_o 12.2,3,4_o 2_o cor._n 12.2,3,4_o i_o know_v a_o man_n in_o christ_n above_o fourteen_o year_n ago_o whether_o in_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v or_o whether_o out_o of_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v god_n know_v such_o a_o man_n catch_v up_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n and_o hear_v word_n which_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o utter_v now_o who_o be_v this_o man_n it_o be_v none_o but_o himself_o it_o be_v his_o modesty_n that_o make_v he_o speak_v in_o a_o three_o person_n therefore_o those_o who_o boast_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v vain_a glorious_a it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o indeed_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n and_o of_o humility_n answ_n 2_o those_o that_o so_o cry_v up_o the_o spirit_n as_o to_o cry_v down_o ordinance_n and_o the_o ministry_n they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o vision_n and_o inspiration_n be_v in_o use_n yet_o then_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o teach_v man_n immediate_o but_o do_v refer_v they_o to_o a_o outward_a ministry_n 8._o act_n 8._o a_o famous_a instance_n you_o have_v hereof_o as_o i_o note_v before_o in_o the_o ethiopian_a eunuch_n who_o be_v read_v in_o his_o chariot_n the_o prophecy_n of_o esaias_n the_o spirit_n will_v not_o interpret_v to_o he_o the_o meaning_n hereof_o 9.6_o act_n 9.6_o but_o bid_v philip_n go_v and_o expound_v it_o so_o paul_n when_o christ_n reveal_v himself_o to_o he_o he_o will_v not_o teach_v he_o himself_o but_o bid_v he_o go_v to_o damascus_n and_o there_o it_o shall_v be_v tell_v he_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a example_n we_o have_v in_o cornelius_n 10.5,6_o act_n 10.5,6_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o teach_v he_o immedite_o but_o bid_v he_o send_v for_o peter_n and_o he_o shall_v tell_v he_o what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v by_o these_o example_n we_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v honour_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o those_o who_o cry_v up_o the_o spirit_n so_o as_o to_o cry_v down_o the_o ministry_n as_o expect_v to_o have_v the_o immediate_a teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n doubtless_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n answ_n 3_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o boast_v of_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n rather_o in_o future_a revelation_n then_o in_o present_a motion_n to_o holy_a duty_n be_v deceive_v by_o a_o satanical_a delusion_n there_o be_v many_o in_o these_o day_n that_o will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o tell_v you_o future_a contingent_a event_n but_o this_o can_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n because_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o foretell_v future_a event_n be_v now_o cease_v and_o do_v not_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n it_o be_v true_a i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o the_o devil_n by_o a_o special_a manifestation_n from_o god_n may_v tell_v a_o future_a event_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a your_o astrologer_n can_v by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o star_n thus_o the_o devil_n appear_v to_o saul_n in_o the_o shape_n of_o samuel_n ●9_n 1_o

philistine_n now_o how_o come_v the_o devil_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o but_o by_o a_o special_a revelation_n from_o god_n the_o lord_n permit_v it_o for_o the_o
sin_n but_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o act_v sin_n with_o such_o a_o strong_a and_o full_a consent_n of_o the_o will_n nor_o with_o such_o deliberation_n as_o unregenerate_a man_n who_o want_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n quest_n 4_o how_o can_v this_o be_v true_a that_o if_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n we_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n whereas_o experience_n tell_v we_o that_o set_v a_o man_n walk_v never_o so_o exact_o and_o be_v never_o so_o spiritual_a yet_o that_o man_n he_o shall_v yield_v to_o and_o act_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o corruption_n which_o be_v hide_v in_o his_o nature_n will_v break_v out_o in_o his_o life_n answ_n i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o give_v you_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n hereto_o 1._o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n shall_v have_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o a_o godly_a man_n so_o walk_v shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o act_n and_o between_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n a_o godly_a man_n when_o he_o sin_n he_o act_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o fulfil_v it_o because_o when_o he_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o sin_n with_o such_o a_o full_a consent_n nor_o with_o such_o a_o deliberate_a and_o complete_a act_n of_o the_o will_n as_o wicked_a man_n do_v sin_n carry_v wicked_a man_n with_o more_o force_n and_o violence_n and_o with_o a_o more_o deliberate_a act_n of_o the_o will_v so_o some_o interpreter_n resolve_v this_o difficulty_n 2._o other_o answer_v it_o thus_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v say_v they_o eatenus_fw-la while_o you_o embrace_v the_o spirit_n motion_n locum_fw-la musculus_fw-la in_o locum_fw-la sin_n motion_n shall_v not_o prevail_v so_o far_o as_o you_o harken_v to_o the_o spirit_n good_a motion_n you_o shall_v not_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o sinful_a motion_n of_o your_o own_o corrupt_a nature_n or_o of_o the_o devil_n you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_n and_o so_o it_o be_v translate_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n from_o whence_o critic_n show_v that_o in_o that_o one_o sin_n of_o nature_n

there_o be_v two_o observation_n i_o shall_v note_v from_o the_o word_n doct._n 1_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o special_a care_n of_o believer_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o motion_n and_o guidance_n of_o god_n spirit_n doct._n 2_o that_o those_o who_o walk_v after_o the_o motion_n and_o guidance_n of_o god_n spirit_n they_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o first_o doctrine_n there_o be_v several_a query_n i_o shall_v dispatch_v querie_n 1_o why_o must_v a_o believer_n walk_v after_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n hereof_o reas_n 1_o because_o it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o spirit_n office_n after_o convert_v grace_n to_o excite_v and_o move_v the_o heart_n to_o more_o grace_n and_o to_o guide_v a_o man_n in_o the_o way_n wherein_o he_o shall_v walk_v thus_o it_o be_v express_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n thy_o ear_n shall_v hear_v a_o word_n behind_o thou_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o when_o you_o turn_v up_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o when_o you_o turn_v to_o the_o left_a 30.21_o isa_n 30.21_o as_o the_o star_n be_v to_o the_o

in_o the_o way_n which_o be_v everlasting_a therefore_o if_o thou_o walk_v not_o after_o its_o motion_n and_o guidance_n thou_o do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o thou_o lie_v to_o put_v the_o spirit_n out_o of_o office_n reas_n 2_o therefore_o ought_v thou_o to_o walk_v after_o the_o guidance_n of_o god_n spirit_n because_o the_o devil_n he_o will_v be_v suggest_v evil_a motion_n to_o thou_o he_o go_v
