These and the like singular doctrines concerning this matter, are contained in this Sermon. This argument was further enlarged and amplified in other Sermons by him, which as yet I cannot find. For he taught also by what degrees the spirit is quenched: and they were these. 1. By neglecting the means of cherishing the grace of the spirit. 2. From neglecting1 the means to proceed to the grieving of the spirit▪ 3. From grieving, to come to vexing and provoking the spirit. 4. Lastly, how some after long provocations, have quenched the spirit, and lost all the good light & graces of God which they seemed before to have had. These be most dangerous degrees of sin, and steps to perdition. And thus far of the first Sermon.
