the_o clear_a to_o be_v that_o in_o joh._n 16._o where_o christ_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v send_v his_o spirit_n into_o the_o world_n and_o three_o great_a work_n the_o spirit_n shall_v do_v which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o righteousness_n and_o of_o judgement_n first_o he_o say_v of_o sin_n because_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o i_o mark_v that_o there_o be_v many_o other_o sin_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n convince_v they_o of_o but_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o not_o take_v of_o christ_n offer_v that_o be_v the_o main_a sin_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v convince_v man_n of_o this_o sin_n all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n can_v do_v it_o we_o may_v tell_v you_o long_o enough_o of_o particular_a sin_n you_o have_v do_v these_o and_o these_o sin_n swear_v such_o oath_n defile_v yourselves_o with_o such_o abomination_n and_o yet_o all_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o but_o when_o the_o spirit_n set_v in_o and_o make_v a_o man_n sensible_a of_o sin_n that_o work_v to_o purpose_n then_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o method_n he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o righteousness_n because_o i_o be_o rise_v again_o and_o go_v to_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v another_o righteousness_n in_o i_o by_o which_o you_o must_v be_v justify_v when_o you_o see_v no_o righteousness_n in_o yourselves_o than_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v show_v you_o the_o righteousness_n that_o i_o have_v wrought_v but_o how_o will_v this_o appear_v in_o that_o i_o be_o dead_a and_o rise_v again_o and_o go_v to_o my_o father_n whereby_o it_o be_v declare_v that_o i_o be_o righteous_a that_o i_o have_v overcome_v death_n &_o

that_o be_v than_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v satan_n reign_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n in_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n till_o they_o be_v justify_v and_o engraft_v into_o christ_n but_o when_o they_o be_v once_o justify_v than_o christ_n shall_v cast_v he_o out_o you_o shall_v see_v he_o fall_v like_o lightning_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v before_o prophesy_v he_o shall_v bring_v forth_o judgement_n unto_o victory_n that_o be_v he_o shall_v overcome_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o world_n take_v away_o sin_n and_o enable_v man_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o method_n you_o must_v observe_v in_o turn_v to_o god_n labour_v to_o be_v convince_v of_o sin_n then_o of_o
