Answere
.
There
change
is
the
gift
of
some
common
graces
,
which
Christ
,
as
Lord
,
bestowes
vpon
them
,
but
he
neuer
giues
life
to
them
as
members
of
his
body
whereof
he
is
head
.
They
are
made
partakers
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
in
some
inferior
working
,
but
are
not
made
new
creatures
,
nor
receiue
grace
accompanying
saluation
,
as
appeares
by
the
opposition
of
these
two
,
Their
works
proceede
not
from
one
and
the
same
principle
internall
:
First
,
the
minde
of
a
temporizer
is
not
holy
,
though
it
be
inlightened
to
know
and
acknowledg
the
truth
.
It
is
peculiar
to
beleeuers
to
be
renewed
in
minde
after
the
image
of
God
:
Col.
3.12
.
They
that
beleeue
not
,
haue
mindes
and
consciences
still
defiled
and
not
healed
with
the
vnction
from
him
that
is
holy
.
Which
may
appeare
:
1.
in
that
his
knowledge
of
truth
is
not
rooted
in
him
,
in
time
of
temptation
hee
goeth
away
,
and
his
light
vanisheth
;
so
as
that
a
greater
darknesse
commeth
vpon
him
.
If
the
light
that
is
in
thee
be
darknesse
,
how
great
is
that
darkenesse
?
Secondly
,
There
minde
not
being
sanctified
,
Thirdly
,
In
that
their
knowledge
is
ineffectuall
,
they
know
not
as
they
ought
to
know
.

Cor.

.
Not
for
their
owne
vse
,
which
yet
is
required
,
Iob.
5.27
.
Not
what
first
and
principally
,
what
more
earnestly
to
follow
.
It
leaues
them
ignorant
of
themselues
,
so
as
they
think
themselues
to
be
some
thing
,
when
they
are
nothing
,
are
puft
vp
,
Masterly
,
censorious
not
onely
towards
fraile
man
,
but
sometimes
towards
God
himselfe
,
as
,
Mal.

verse

Their
light
shineth
not
effectually
into
their
conscience
,
and
so
as
to
guid
them
,
it
is
denied
therefore
the
account
of
knowledge
for
the
liuelesnesse
of
it
.

Pet.

Ioh.
2.4.9

Fourthly
,
their
thoughts
and
deuises
declare
the
fleshlinesse
of
their
mindes
,
that
which
riseth
naturally
as
the
fruite
of
their
minde
is
as
an
ill
fauour
out
of
a
sinke
,
they
minde
things
of
the
flesh
,
and
when
they
take
counsell
and
deliberate
,
it
hath
the
same
sauour
with
the
roote
,
when
they
rowle
some
good
thing
in
their
heads
,
they
corrupt
and
defile
it
,
the
diuell
also
whose
power
is
yet
in
their
minde
,
puts
ill
thoughts
into
them
,
as
his
first
borne
,
and
his
breath
to
blow
vp
the
fire
of
fleshly
lusts
,
vnto
which
they
so
attend
,
as
they
forget
God
,
his
properties
,
works
and
wayes
,
and
walke
in
the
sparkes
of
their
fire
that
they
haue
kindled
,
Isa.
50.11
.
But
the
true
beleeuer
is
not
so
.
First
his
knowledge
is
an
abiding
light
,
shining
constantly
till
hee
come
to
life
,
called
for
that
the
light
of
life
,
Iohn
8.12
.
He
is
taught
of
God
,
so
as
hee
declines
not
from
his
statutes
.
Psal.
119
,
102.
Because
he
taught
him
,
hee
cannot
beleeue
otherwise
then
hee
hath
receiued
,
though
false
teachers
confirme
their
doctrine
with
signes
and
wonders
.
Matthew
24.24
.
They
will
not
heare
a
stranger
,
specially
in
fundamentall
doctrine
,
they
know
not
his
voyce
,
Iohn
10.8
.
1
Ioh.
4.4
.
They
know
by
an
holy
annointing
abiding
in
them
the
truth
,
and
that
no
lye
is
of
the
truth
,
1
Ioh.
2.27
.
and
discerne
the
particular
lye
,
vsing
such
meanes
and
helps
as
God
affords
them
.
They
be
tempted
&
troubled
with
the
temptation
,
but
are
alwayes
with
God
,
and
ouercome
the
temptation
,
and
returne
to
their
minde
with
confirmation
,
knowing
whom
they
haue
beleeued
,
Psal.
73.2
,
23.
Gal.
5.10
.
Secondly
,
Though
they
may
erre
in
many
things
because
sight
is
not
perfected
at
once
,
it
is
with
some
darkenesse
as
it
were
in
the
dawning
betweene
light
and
darkenesse
,
yet
not
in
full
darkenesse
true
light
hath
shined
to
them
,
and
they
see
though
with
many
fancies
,
as
hee
who
at
the
first
touch
of
his
eyes
saw
men
walke
,
Thirdly
,
their
knowledge
is
effectuall
,
life
eternall
is
begun
,
continued
,
and
consummate
in
it
,

For

is
such
as

,
The

are

Prou.

.
their
renued
minde
giueth
disposition
thereunto
,
and
they
are
as
fruits
brought
forth
to
God
by
the
vertue
of
Christ
;
specially
as
the
spirit
breaths
obedience
,
and
gouernes
them
to
deuise
good
things
Isaiah
32.8
.
They
not
onely
haue
a
good
treasure
in
their
hearts
,
whence
good
thoughts
are
brought
forth
,
but
they
forme
their
thoughts
vnto
good
minding
,
with
studie
and
carefull
thought
how
to
do
acceptably
,
pray
for
pleasing
meditations
,
and
labour
to
keepe
their
thoughts
in
an
order
,
to
serue
God
with
their
thought
.
Secondly
,
The
conscience
of
a
temporizer
,
whether
you
consider
quiet
,
or
troubled
,
differs
much
from
the
beleeuers
,
in
the
execution
of
the
function
;
because
the
beleeuer
hath
some
holinesse
restored
to
his
conscience
,
which
none
can
haue
but
in
Christ
,
who
haue
learned
him
,
and
haue
beene
taught
as
the
truth
is
in
Christ

The
cause
of
quietnesse
.
2.
the
effects
.
3.
the
continuance
,
difference
it
.
First
,
The
quietnesse
of
an
vnbeleeuer
,
or
that
beleeues
not
,
(
so
as
it
may
properly
bee
called
faith
)
is
vpon
mistaken
grounds
,
as
that
his
faith
giues
him
right
in
the
Couenant
which
God
hath
made
to
all
that
truely
receiue
Christ
,
whose
merit
is
the
foundation
of
the
couenant
,
it
is
infalliblie
true
in
the
proposition
,
whosoeuer
hath
his
Sonne
hath
life
,
Secondly
,
Or
it
is
by
a
wilfull
presumption
of
finding
God
peaceable
towards
him
,
Thirdly
,
Or
by
not
stirring
of
corruptions
,
slumbering
in
error
without
sense
.
By
ignorance
of
the
law
I
was
a
liue
without
the
law
,
but
when
the
commandement
came
sin
reuiued
,
and
I
died
.
Fourthly
,
By
earthing
themselues
,
as
it
were
in
a
caue
of
forgetfulnesse
of
God
,
and
their
own
estate
;
diuerting
their
thoughts
to
other
things
,
not
considering
that
he
remembers
all
their
sinnes
and
that
they
shall
come
to
iudgement
.
Fiftly
,
Oppressing
their
conscience
with
false
reasonings
they
take
euill
for
good
,
good
for
euill
,
&
lye
vnder
the
woe
denounced
against
it
without
feare
.
Secondly
it
giues
no
true
comfort
in
God
as
reconciled
,
no
delight
in
him
Iob.
27.10
.
it
is
not
renewed
vnto
that
righteousnesse
which
was
lost
,
holds
not
to
vniuersall
obedience
,
but
suffers
to
liue
in
some
sinne
knowen
consciencelesly
,
it
witnes
not
,
nor
holds
a
man
vnto
,
right
manner
and
end
of
actions
with
due
circumstances
,
but
onely
excuseth
the
worke
done
,
as
Iehu
did
when
he
said
to
Iehonadab
the
Sonne
of
Rachab
come
with
me
and
see
the
zeale
that
I
haue
for
the
Lord.
Thirdly
,
The
peace
it
hath
continueth
not
.
When
God
enterrupteth
his
presumption
,
opening
his
conscience
to
notice
his
working
of
iniquitie
,
in
the
midst
of
laughter
the
heart
is
sorrowfull
and
like
Balteshar
at
the
fight
of
a
hand
writing
vpon
the
wall
he
is
filled
with
terror
,
First
,
The
quietnesse
of
a
true
beleeuers
conscience
is
caused
by
resting
on
Christ
,
to
the
sprinkling
of
it
with
his
blood
,
as
the
blood
of
attonement
for
all
his
sinnes
;
Secondly
,
For
effects
,
it
works
comfort
in
God
,
reioycing
in
him
because
of
the
attonement
,
Rom.

.
free
enterance
into
his
presence
with
our
lawful
suits
,

10.22
.
with
a
holy
shame
for
sinnes
though
forgiuen
,
Ezech.
16.63
.
witnessing
the
loue
of
Christ
to
vs
,
it
holds
to
his
word
,
to
liue
no
more
to
our selues
but
to
him
;
Thirdly
,
For
continuance
,
it
is
a
neuer
failing
feast
;
it
may
be
interrupted
,
by
desertion
,
temptation
,
falls
,
but
it
remaines
in
cause
,
and
returnes
at
length
.

Sam.

.
The
troubled
conscience
of
the
vnbeleeuer
,
or
vaine
beleeuer
,
and
the
troubled
conscience
of
a
true
,
though
not
perfect
beleeuer
are
differenced
in
cause
,
measure
and
effects
.
First
,
The
vaine
beleeuers
trouble
is
of
the
spirit
of
bondage
causing
feare
and
disquietnesse
.
Rom.
8.15
.
He
is
amazed
at
his
owne
brutishnesse
rebuked
for
sin
,
whereof
the
conscience
is
witnesse
,
by
apprehension
onely
of
misery
following
it
.
Prou.
5.12.13.14
.
Secondly
,
For
measure
,
the
conscience
of
an
vnbeleeuer
accuseth
too
sorely
,
hiding
away
the
Gospell
;
and
so
without
hope
,
greife
wholly
possesseth
the
hart
,
without
strife
against
it
,
as
sinfull
;
vrgeth
not
to
faith
and
repentance
truely
:
hee
affects
deliuerance
and
sometimes
complaines
of
God
for
the
greatnesse
of
his
punishment
,
as
they
doe
in
hell
,
with
indignation
gnashing
their
teeth
,
despairing
vtterly
as
Iudas
.
For
the
spirit
hauing
opened
their
conscience
to
see
their
sins
and
Gods
wrath
,
with
sense
of
guiltienesse
,
leaues
them
in
terrors
,
and
mooues
them
not
to
go
to
Christ
.
So
through
their
own
corruption
they
bring
forth
desperate
sorrow
,
a
fearefull
effect
of
their
desperate
sinning
,
who
answere
such
as
exhort
them
to
repentance
,
There
is
no
hope
,
I
haue
loued
strangers
and
them
will
I
follow
;
Ier.
2.25
.
to
whom
God
may
iustly
say
this
shall
ye
haue
at
my
hands
,
yee
shall
lye
down
in
sorrow
.
Esa.
50.11
.
Thirdly
,
it
makes
a
man
shunne
God
,
as
Adam
vpon
his
fall
,
as
the
deuils
did
Christ
as
their
tormentor
,
it
makes
a
man
flee
the
stroke
of
the
word
in
a
sincere
ministerie
,
it
hates
the
light
Ioh.
3.20
.
as
Ahab
said
of
Michaiah
,
whom
he
confessed
a
prophet
of
the
Lord
,
I
hate
him
,
as
Herod
did
Iohn
.
First
,
The
troubled
conscience
of
the
true
beleeuer
is
from
the
Spirit
of
grace
sanctifying
the
conscience
vnto
some
rightnesse
,
in
performing
this
function
,
in
accusing
and
disquieting
to
his
good
,
though
not
without
some
mixture
of
the
flesh
,
it
troubles
for
sinne
,
as
of
enmitie
against
God
,
offensiue
to
him
,
and
causing
wrath
,
whereby
the
sinner
is
detestable
to
himselfe
,
doing
things
so
vnworthy
.
He
cannot
liue
vnder
Gods
displeasure
.
Secondly
,
for
measure
,
this
vnquietnesse
is
not
full
,
because
hee
is
not
without
some
measure
of
faith
in
Christ
,
to
the
purging
of
his
conscience
from
guiltinesse
and
filthines
of
sinne
;
though
,
it
may
be
,
he
seeth
no
faith
in
his
owne
heart
.
His
conscience
telleth
him
hee
ought
to
beleeue
because
of
Gods
commandement
,
he
valueth
faith
highly
,
and
seekes
it
of
God
constantly
,
with
mourning
for
his
vnbeleefe
;
he
calles
vpon
his
heart
to
trust
in
God
,
as
not
without
hope
,
though
languishing
,
not
without
loue
whereby
hee
cleaues
to
God
,
seeking
his
fauour
and
the
light
of
his
countenance
,
specially
,
be
he
in
prosperity
or
aduersity
.
Thirdly
for
effects
,
it
makes
the
beleeuer
to
beare
punishment
vpon
him
,
whether
from
God
,
Lament.
3.28
,
29.
putting
his
mouth
in
the
dust
,
hee
opens
not
his
mouth
against
God
,
Ezech.
16.63
.
It
maketh
him
to
feare
sin
to
come
,
and
suffers
him
not
to
continue
in
knowne
sinnes
,
it
workes
him
to
readinesse
to
forgiue
men
,
because
hee
needes
pardon
and
seekes
it
.
He
welcomes
the
ministerie
,
wounding
and
healing
,
and
striueth
to
remember
God
in
his
waies
,
promising
with
purpose
of
heart
to
sing
ioyfully
of
Gods
righteousnesse
,
when
he
opens
his
mouth
.
Or
from
men
:
of
which
after
;
whether
from
law
and
iustice
,
or
from
wrong
dealing
.
Thirdly
,
the
will
of
an
vnbeleeuer
(
of
which
a
worke
is
specially
good
or
bad
,
and
so
accounted
of
God
)
is
not
made
free
from
spirituall
bondage
:
a
man
is
counted
good
or
euill
of
his
will
.
It
is
the
comfort
of
a
strong
christian
,
that
he
findes
the
worke
of
God
in
his
will
for
delight
to
doe
that
which
God
requires
,
with
present
and
working
will
,
not
altogether
ineffectuall
.
The
new
heart
is
peculiar
to
them
whom
God
hath
receiued
in
Christ
.
Ezech.
36.26
.
To
haue
the
stonie
heart
taken
away
and
to
receiue
a
heart
of
flesh
.
Godly
desires
are
peculiar
to
godly
men
who
are
carried
by
Gods
Spirit
,
which
they
alledge
to
him
as
his
owne
worke
,
who
giues
to
will

Men
not
in

and
their
works
dead
,
their
Will
is
not

then
to
any
spirituall
work

death
depriues
not

of

facultie
.
They
are
said
to
serue
sinne
,
if
their
will
be
in
a
full
bondage
they
are
not
free
,
all
that
are
not
freed
by
Christ
remaine
in
spirituall
bondage
to
sinne
,
they
must
be
in
him
whom
he
freeth
,
and
that
is
by
a
true
faith
;
they
are
gouerned
by
the
prouidence
to
some
workes
that
are
good
for
their
matter
,
but
in
them
they
are
intrinsecally
guilty
,
they
haue
no
will
to
obey
&
honour
the
Lord
,
therein
they
proceed
not
from
an
inward
frame
of
goodnesse
,
and
conformitie
of
heart
to
Gods
law
,
their
will
is
worse
then
their
deed
,
they
receiue
the
Gospell
,
but
not
with
an
honest
heart
,
purely
for
it selfe
,
but
with
corrupt
respect
.
They
forbeare
some
sins
but
not
for
loue
of
God
,
and
that
they
haue
chosen
Gods
law
,
whereof
sin
is
a
violation
,
their
will
is
not
turned
against
it
out
of
any
inherent
holines
contrary
to
it
,
but
as
contemned
by
light
of
the
minde
as
reprochfull
for
one
that
professeth
true
religion
,
or
some
way
daungerous
,
as
appeares
by
their
partialitie
in
the
law

2.4
.
The
true
beleeuer
is
by
the
spirit
of
Ghrist
in
part
,
truely
and
for
euer
freed
in
his
will
from
the
spirituall
bondage
and
seruitude
of
corruption
,
and
his
libertie
is
brought
forward
by
degrees
.
The
change
is
by
a
supernaturall
worke
,
as
if
a
stone
which
a
hundred
times
forced
vpward
falls
downe
againe
should
haue
a
new
inclination
put
into
it
,
the
change
were
aboue
nature
.
But
now
the
inclination
is
naturall
,
so
in
this
worke
of
God
in
taking
away
the
stonie
heart
and
giuing
the
will
a
new
inclination
,
the
diuine
power
hauing
made
this
alteration
by
infusion
of
grace
and
holinesse
into
it
;
the
action
of
it
,
in
willing
to
belieue
to
be
iustified
,
to
be
healed
in
nature
of
the
sinfulnesse
perceiued
,
to
be
quickened
vnto
good
workes
,
to
doe
them
more
spiritually
,
is
naturall
and
free
,
by
reason
of
the
godly
nature
.
Search
your selfe
according
to
this
difference
in
minde
conscience
and
will
,
and
be
a
true
witnesse
of
the
worke
of
God
in
you
.
