But yet there be other gifts of the Holy Spirit, and effects of that first Grace, for that they are freely given, but yet so, as that they are in no wise necessarily and always adherent with this virtue of faith: as a greater purity of conscience and heart; as a•acri••e of spirit, proceeding from a good conscience; as great boldness in publishing and confessing Christ; as an Heroical fortitude of mind in bea•ing every grievous Cross; as a vehement and singular taste of the goodness and favour of God in us; as free and cheerful invocation of God; and many other effects of faith, which are as most splendent flames, shining out of a burning fire Certainly as the flames of fire are extinguished either by withdrawing the •ewell, or by infusion of water, although the whole fire at once and together be not utterly extinct; and as ⟨p. 124⟩the beams of the Sun, by interposition of thick clouds, are expelled out of of our Horizon, although the whole light of the Sun be not utterly taken away: so these effects of saith, formerly mentioned, and of the holy Spirit (by sin committed by consent) that they so can be removed out of the minds and hearts of the Saints, yet […] through the divine promise, the substance of faith abiding, I never did, neither can it be denied: seeing both the examples of the Saints in Scripture do pregnantly demonstr••• this, and every sanctified man doth experimentally find this in h•• self. David, although he did not utterly loose his faith, neither all fear of God, neither all confidence and hope in God, neither yet all love of God; for neither at any time did he either wholly reject the word of God, or despair of Gods mercy, or hated God; yet that he had lost many other things, both himself confesseth in the repetition ⟨p. 125⟩of them, and prayeth for the restitution thereof. The purity of conscience and heart, which before his sin he enjoyed, he confesseth to have lost, while he prayeth to be washed and cleansed from his iniquity. Psal. 51. Wash me from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Again, Purge me with Hyssop, and I shall be pure, wash me and I shall be whiter then snow. Again, Create in me, O God, a new heart;
