For the spirit of God. When it brings a light into the soule it brings agreat many graces with it, when it shines upon the soule, and discovers better things, it brings other graces •o perswade, and to imbrace the things it discovers.
As it is an infinite mercy, and goodness of God to discover to our souls such excellent ⟨p. 252⟩things, as we may be persuaded of; as if […] estate to be such as indeed it is above our […] prehension in this world, neither eye hath […] nor •are heard nor hath entered into the heart […] man, the things that God hath prepared for […] that love him: so likewise it is Gods infinite work of power to frame the soul to be persuaded of this: it is as m•ch power to […] the soul to this persuasion, as it is mercy […] discover them in a manner: there is such […] ward rebellion, and distrust in the soul, […] ling these truths into question, as if the• things were too good to be true. Consider• our own unworthiness, and vileness, […] the excellency of these things, laying the• together, the unbelieving heart of man […] prone to unbelief above all other sins▪ […] can hardly conceive that there are such thin• for Gods children, except the heart be […] […] tily wrought on, unless together with […] swasion there be some work in the soul▪ whence it may gather by the work of the spirit that they are those to whom such good things belong, because the spirit of God hath singed them out, and set his seal, and stamp on them, above other men by some evidence of grace.
