1The Spirit is opposed to carnal and wild logic and ratiotinations, and so all carnal thoughts and sinful [Greek or Hebrew] discourses, are Satan's fortifications and Soldier-works against the knowledge of God, 2 Cor. 10.5, 6. 1 Cor. 2.1, 2, 3, 4. 1 Cor. 1.17. but the Spirit siteth upon and acteth reason to make our whole service [Greek or Hebrew] reasonable ⟨p. 315⟩service, yea and all the Scripture is a mass and book of discursive refined reason, unbelievers are [Greek or Hebrew] absurd, unreasonable men, going against sense and sound reason. And the spirit goeth on in a persuading way, 2 Cor. 5.11. Gal. 1.10. Paul Act. 13.43. persuaded them to continue in the grace of God, Act. 18.4. he persuaded the Jews and Greeks, Act. 19.8. he persuaded the things concerning the Kingdom of God. So doth the Spirit carry us along with exhorting, Act. 2.40. 2 Cor. 9.5. 2 Thess. 3.12. 2 Tim. 4.2. Heb. 3.13. 1 Pet. 5.1.
