neceffary
by the
en-
deavours
ofmen not
delighting
in
the
Truth
(which hithertto
we
have
afferted)
for the oppofition thereof, and lying I hope
under
the
power and
efficacy
of
that
Heavenly
Exhortation
of
contending earnefily

Ihall
with

8. places
of
Scripture,
endeavouring
by

tocorn

pell them to fpeake
comfortable words,
for
the reliefe
of
his

Whether
He hath prevailed with them
to the

whether
He will
not be found

For the
Firft, He informes
us,
that
his
judgement
is,,
that
many
who
might
have
a
Croivne
of

by a
prefumptuous conceit
of
the Impoffibility
of

miscarrying, are
now
like

of

men

by
gratifying
the flefh,
with wrefing
the Scripture

thereof.
That
the
Proud

conceits
of
men, are like
to
have no
other
ifï'ue
or
effete,
than the betraying of their
