1._o 1_o and_o ephes._n 3._o 3_o he_o pray_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n that_o god_n will_v vouchsafe_v that_o spirit_n to_o take_v away_o the_o veil_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n from_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o may_v see_v and_o as_o it_o be_v ephes._n 3_o that_o we_o may_v comprehend_v the_o height_n and_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n and_o all_o the_o dimension_n of_o god_n love_n in_o christ._n this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o as_o s._n paul_n divine_o reason_n in_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 2._o who_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o must_v plough_v with_o god_n heifer_n if_o we_o will_v know_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v have_v the_o same_o spirit_n now_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o only_o teach_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n truth_n but_o the_o application_n of_o those_o truth_n that_o they_o be_v we_o this_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v i_o the_o sacrament_n seal_v it_o to_o i_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n take_v away_o the_o veil_n from_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o spirit_n take_v away_o the_o veil_n from_o our_o soul_n it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o take_v the_o veil_n off_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o lighten_v our_o understanding_n and_o likewise_o to_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o application_n to_o we_o in_o particular_a it_o be_v to_o ●o_o purpose_n to_o know_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v mystery_n unless_o they_o be_v for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o good_a that_o we_o know_v christ_n be_v we_o and_o that_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o spirit_n to_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n in_o particular_a so_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o only_o bring_v a_o bless_a light_n to_o the_o scripture_n and_o show_v we_o the_o meaning_n in_o general_a but_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o application_n to_o bring_v home_o those_o gracious_a promise_n to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a to_o tell_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n not_o only_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o church_n but_o to_o we_o in_o particular_a for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v tell_v we_o what_o be_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o god_n his_o secret_a good_a will_n to_o the_o church_n he_o love_v the_o church_n and_o he_o love_v thou_o say_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o he_o be_v call_v a_o earnest_n and_o a_o seal_n in_o our_o heart_n because_o he_o discover_v not_o only_o the_o truth_n at_o large_a but_o he_o discover_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n affection_n in_o all_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o belong_v to_o we_o what_o a_o bless_a discovery_n be_v this_o that_o not_o only_o reveal_v divine_a truth_n to_o we_o but_o reveal_v they_o so_o to_o we_o that_o we_o have_v our_o share_n and_o interest_n in_o they_o therefore_o whensoever_o we_o take_v the_o book_n of_o god_n into_o our_o hand_n prayer_n when_o we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n beg_v of_o god_n the_o spirit_n my_o house_n say_v god_n shall_v be_v call_v the_o house_n of_o prayer_n not_o only_o the_o house_n of_o hear_v of_o divine_a truth_n but_o the_o house_n of_o prayer_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n we_o must_v look_v up_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n it_o be_v impudency_n and_o presumption_n to_o come_v to_o these_o thing_n without_o lift_v up_o our_o soul_n to_o god_n therefore_o there_o be_v so_o little_a profit_n under_o these_o glorious_a mystery_n because_o there_o be_v so_o little_a prayer_n &_o lift_v up_o the_o heart_n to_o god_n we_o shall_v go_v to_o christ_n that_o open_v and_o no_o man_n shut_v and_o shut_v and_o no_o man_n open_v he_o have_v the_o key_n of_o david_n go_v to_o he_o therefore_o that_o he_o will_v both_o open_a the_o mystery_n and_o open_v our_o heart_n that_o they_o may_v close_v with_o they_o in_o revel_v 5._o 5._o saint_n john_n weep_v when_o the_o book_n with_o seven_o seal_n can_v not_o be_v open_v he_o weep_v that_o the_o prophecy_n be_v so_o obscure_a that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v but_o then_o christ_n take_v the_o book_n and_o open_v it_o so_o when_o we_o can_v understand_v divine_a mystery_n let_v we_o groan_n and_o sigh_v to_o christ_n he_o can_v open_v the_o book_n with_o seven_o seal_n and_o he_o lay_v open_v all_o the_o mystery_n as_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o concern_v we_o to_o know_v god_n child_n grieve_v when_o thing_n be_v not_o discover_v to_o they_o there_o be_v a_o contrary_a disposition_n in_o god_n people_n to_o carnal_a papist_n mystery_n they_o vex_v that_o mystery_n shall_v be_v discover_v god_n people_n grieve_v that_o they_o be_v not_o discover_v enough_o they_o make_v a_o perverse_a use_n of_o this_o divine_a truth_n be_v mystery_n therefore_o they_o may_v not_o be_v publish_v to_o people_n nay_o divine_a truth_n be_v mystery_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v unfold_v hence_o come_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o mystery_n that_o be_v a_o hide_a kind_n of_o knowledge_n than_o there_o must_v be_v some_o to_o reveal_v it_o god_n have_v therefore_o establish_v a_o office_n in_o the_o church_n with_o which_o he_o join_v his_o own_o sacred_a spirit_n that_o both_o ordinance_n and_o spirit_n join_v together_o the_o veil_n may_v be_v take_v off_o how_o can_v they_o understand_v without_o a_o teacher_n and_o to_o we_o be_v commit_v the_o dispensation_n to_o preach_v the_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ_n say_v s._n paul_n therefore_o there_o be_v this_o ordinance_n to_o unfold_v these_o depth_n as_o much_o as_o may_v serve_v for_o we_o profane_a people_n they_o think_v they_o know_v enough_o they_o need_v not_o be_v teach_v as_o if_o this_o be_v a_o shallow_a mystery_n or_o none_o at_o all_o it_o argue_v a_o profane_a and_o naughty_a heart_n not_o to_o attend_v upon_o all_o sanctify_a mean_n all_o be_v little_a enough_o and_o sometime_o god_n will_v not_o grant_v his_o spirit_n in_o one_o mean_n because_o he_o will_v make_v we_o go_v to_o another_o and_o from_o that_o ●o_o another_o and_o run_v through_o all_o he_o deny_v his_o spirit_n of_o purpose_n in_o hear_v because_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o read_v and_o deny_v it_o in_o that_o because_o he_o will_v have_v we_o confer_v and_o practice_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o all_o little_a enough_o to_o apprehend_v this_o glorious_a excellent_a mystery_n a_o man_n may_v know_v a_o profane_a heart_n therefore_o by_o despise_v the_o improovement_n of_o any_o mean_n of_o knowledge_n it_o be_v a_o mystery_n therefore_o god_n people_n desire_v to_o have_v it_o teach_v humility_n again_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v these_o mystery_n let_v we_o labour_v for_o humble_a spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n work_v that_o disposition_n in_o the_o first_o place_n 25._o the_o humble_a god_n will_v teach_v psal._n 25._o the_o humble_a that_o will_v depend_v upon_o his_o teach_n now_o this_o kind_n of_o humility_n here_o require_v it_o be_v a_o denial_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o capacious_a for_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n we_o must_v be_v content_a to_o become_v fool_n that_o we_o may_v be_v wise_a we_o must_v deny_v our_o own_o understanding_n and_o be_v content_a to_o have_v no_o more_o understanding_n in_o divine_a thing_n than_o we_o can_v carry_v out_o of_o god_n book_n than_o we_o can_v be_v teach_v by_o god_n word_n and_o ordinance_n this_o humility_n we_o must_v bring_v if_o we_o will_v understand_v this_o mystery_n and_o bring_v withal_o obey_v a_o serious_a desire_n to_o know_v with_o a_o purpose_n to_o be_v mould_v to_o what_o we_o know_v to_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o what_o we_o know_v for_o then_o god_n will_v discover_v it_o to_o we_o wisdom_n be_v easy_a to_o he_o that_o will_v together_o with_o prayer_n and_o humility_n let_v we_o but_o bring_v a_o purpose_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o we_o shall_v find_v divine_a wisdom_n easy_a to_o he_o that_o will_n none_o ever_o miscarry_v in_o the_o church_n but_o those_o that_o have_v false_a heart_n they_o have_v not_o humble_a and_o sincere_a heart_n willing_a to_o be_v teach_v for_o if_o they_o have_v that_o than_o god_n that_o have_v give_v this_o sincerity_n and_o will_v this_o resolution_n that_o they_o will_v use_v the_o mean_n and_o they_o will_v be_v teach_v he_o will_v suit_v it_o with_o teacher_n god_n usual_o suit_n man_n with_o teacher_n fit_a for_o their_o disposition_n let_v a_o man_n have_v a_o naughty_a heart_n and_o he_o shall_v find_v flatterer_n to_o build_v he_o up_o in_o all_o violent_a and_o naughty_a course_n god_n in_o judgement_n
