to_o desire_v grace_n answ_n i_o answer_v first_o learn_v to_o know_v it_o grace_n be_v such_o a_o admirable_a thing_n that_o if_o man_n know_v it_o they_o can_v not_o but_o desire_v it_o all_o man_n desire_v good_a though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o seem_a good_a this_o be_v that_o reason_n that_o drunkard_n desire_v drunkenness_n and_o the_o angry_a man_n revenge_v because_o they_o conceive_v a_o good_a in_o it_o but_o if_o the_o drunkard_n do_v but_o know_v and_o consider_v that_o his_o drunkenness_n will_v lead_v he_o to_o hell_n if_o the_o angry_a man_n know_v that_o the_o end_n of_o his_o

teach_v i_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o statute_n and_o i_o shall_v keep_v they_o say_v the_o prophet_n psal._n 119._o 33._o psal._n 9_o 10._o they_o that_o know_v thy_o name_n will_v put_v their_o trust_n

man_n desire_v and_o therefore_o few_o man_n desire_v the_o true_a good_a because_o few_o man_n know_v it_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v put_v for_o salvation_n a_o man_n 7._o can_v have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v his_o heart_n subdue_v and_o all_o his_o corruption_n mortify_v but_o he_o must_v know_v what_o it_o be_v god_n never_o know_v any_o but_o they_o know_v it_o

much_o as_o in_o the_o most_o ignorant_a child_n of_o god_n though_o never_o so_o dull_a and_o weak_a in_o apprehension_n of_o other_o thing_n yet_o if_o he_o be_v true_o acquaint_v with_o christ_n
