sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n by_o word_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o creation_n wherein_o god_n speak_v and_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v good_a and_o serviceable_a to_o the_o

but_o by_o word_n i_o understand_v first_o in_o general_a god_n command_v and_o blessing_n which_o strengthen_v the_o creature_n unto_o those_o operation_n for_o which_o they_o serve_v in_o which_o

the_o world_n thou_o blaspheme_v because_o i_o say_v i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o by_o that_o word_n i_o understand_v more_o particular_o the_o fountain_n of_o that_o blessing_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v in_o general_a the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o more_o particular_o the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n 13._o and_o this_o word_n be_v a_o sanctify_a word_n sanctify_v they_o by_o 17._o thy_o truth_n thy_o word_n be_v truth_n and_o as_o it_o sanctify_v we_o so_o it_o sanctify_v the_o creature_n too_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n not_o only_o of_o eternal_a but_o of_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v christ_n do_v not_o only_o say_v unto_o the_o sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v thou_o but_o also_o arise_v and_o 6._o walk_v intimate_v that_o temporal_a blessing_n come_v along_o with_o the_o gospel_n it_o have_v the_o promise_n as_o well_o of_o this_o life_n 5._o as_o that_o to_o come_v i_o never_o see_v the_o righteous_a forsake_v say_v the_o prophet_n david_n suitable_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n he_o have_v say_v i_o will_v never_o leave_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o nor_o their_o seed_n beg_v their_o bread_n that_o be_v never_o so_o whole_o by_o god_n forsake_v if_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o righteous_a inheritor_n of_o their_o father_n hope_n and_o profession_n as_o to_o make_v a_o constant_a trade_n of_o beg_v their_o bread_n and_o so_o to_o expose_v the_o promise_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o which_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n 33._o of_o heaven_n shall_v have_v all_o other_o thing_n add_v to_o they_o unto_o reproach_n and_o imputation_n from_o wicked_a man_n or_o thus_o i_o never_o see_v the_o righteous_a forsake_v or_o their_o seed_n forsake_v by_o god_n though_o they_o beg_v their_o bread_n but_o even_o in_o that_o extremity_n god_n be_v present_a with_o they_o to_o sanctify_v to_o their_o use_n and_o to_o give_v they_o a_o comfortable_a enjoyment_n of_o that_o very_a bread_n which_o the_o exigencie_n of_o their_o present_a condition_n have_v constrain_v they_o to_o beg_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o general_a that_o the_o blessing_n or_o command_n of_o god_n and_o the_o fountain_n of_o that_o blessing_n the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n do_v sanctify_v the_o creature_n but_o yet_o neither_o by_o the_o blessing_n nor_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o creature_n effectual_o
