his_o love_n increase_v our_o love_n and_o knit_v our_o heart_n the_o fast_o unto_o he_o hitherto_o have_v reach_v the_o first_o appellation_n the_o second_o do_v now_o offer_v itself_o to_o our_o

that_o christ_n shall_v say_v that_o she_o be_v fair_a for_o man_n may_v be_v deceive_v but_o christ_n can_v sure_o man_n may_v praise_v one_o to_o be_v fair_a when_o it_o be_v nothing_o so_o but_o christ_n can_v do_v so_o man_n we_o know_v may_v err_v in_o his_o judgement_n for_o want_v of_o skill_n and_o knowledge_n take_v that_o for_o fair_a which_o be_v foul_a be_v abuse_v by_o his_o

else_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n may_v be_v cover_v and_o keep_v from_o his_o sight_n but_o christ_n can_v because_o his_o eye_n be_v as_o flame_n of_o fire_n to_o behold_v all_o thing_n most_o clear_o revel_v 1.14_o and_o all_o thing_n do_v stand_v naked_a and_o open_a before_o he_o hebr._n 4.13_o man_n we_o know_v will_v lie_v and_o flatter_v speak_v often_o contrary_a to_o his_o

but_o as_o the_o very_a truth_n be_v so_o do_v he_o always_o speak_v man_n we_o know_v through_o a_o foolish_a and_o besotted_a love_n may_v take_v one_o to_o befaire_n which_o be_v foul_a according_a

the_o lord_n true_o matth._n 22.16_o final_o man_n we_o know_v will_v extol_v and_o commend_v a_o little_a very_o high_o and_o a_o small_a beauty_n in_o his_o sight_n will_v seem_v to_o be_v very_o great_a but_o christ_n can_v because_o he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n revel_v 19.16_o then_o see_v that_o christ_n who_o can_v err_v in_o judgement_n who_o do_v see_v all_o thing_n most_o plain_o who_o will_v flatter_v no_o person_n but_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n who_o through_o love_n can_v mistake_v but_o take_v every_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v who_o last_o do_v dwell_v in_o glory_n and_o majesty_n unspeakable_a do_v here_o praise_v his_o spouse_n and_o commend_v her_o fairness_n we_o may_v well_o see_v by_o it_o that_o her_o beauty_n do_v excel_v and_o that_o in_o pulchritude_n she_o be_v most_o admirable_a from_o hence_o then_o let_v we_o gather_v this_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v fair_a and_o beautiful_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o christ_n her_o husband_n large_a commendation_n be_v give_v unto_o it_o in_o this_o book_n often_o but_o i_o will_v only_o touch_v a_o place_n or_o two_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o the_o first_o chapter_n the_o other_o out_o of_o the_o four_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n and_o fourteen_o verse_n we_o find_v these_o word_n speak_v by_o our_o saviour_n unto_o his_o spouse_n my_o love_n behold_v thou_o be_v fair_a behold_v thou_o be_v fair_a thy_o eye_n be_v like_o the_o dove_n and_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n and_o seven_o verse_n he_o do_v speak_v thus_o unto_o she_o thou_o be_v all_o fair_a my_o love_n and_o there_o be_v no_o spot_n in_o thou_o david_n also_o speak_v of_o she_o in_o the_o 45._o psalm_n vers_fw-la 13.14_o do_v break_v out_o into_o

describe_v out_o at_o large_a unto_o we_o in_o the_o fourteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o the_o beginning_n thereof_o among_o other_o thing_n there_o ascribe_v unto_o they_o this_o be_v one_o that_o in_o their_o mouth_n there_o be_v find_v no_o guile_n and_o that_o they_o be_v without_o spot_n before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n vers_fw-la 5._o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v say_v in_o

righteousness_n of_o saint_n thus_o in_o few_o word_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o church_n be_v fair_a and_o beautiful_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o christ_n not_o reason_n that_o she_o glitter_v with_o outward_a and_o sensible_a beauty_n which_o as_o it_o be_v remove_v from_o the_o root_n of_o jesse_n that_o have_v no_o form_n in_o it_o to_o be_v desire_v esay_n 53.2_o so_o be_v his_o

rich_a external_a ornament_n whether_o the_o same_o do_v respect_v the_o body_n of_o man_n or_o the_o outward_a worship_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o glorious_a and_o glitter_a robe_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n which_o we_o call_v justification_n and_o in_o the_o precious_a and_o most_o shine_a ornament_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o his_o grace_n which_o we_o term_v sanctification_n doubtless_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o church_n as_o she_o be_v in_o herself_o by_o nature_n and_o as_o she_o be_v pollute_v by_o many_o sin_n and_o transgression_n but_o he_o do_v behold_v she_o as_o she_o be_v justify_v in_o himself_o have_v all_o her_o iniquity_n do_v away_o through_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o stand_v most_o just_a and_o upright_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n his_o father_n through_o the_o imputation_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o obedience_n and_o as_o she_o be_v sanctify_v already_o in_o part_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o in_o whole_a when_o she_o be_v receive_v up_o into_o the_o heaven_n and_o there_o real_o marry_v unto_o he_o in_o all_o joy_n and_o felicity_n for_o evermore_o for_o as_o a_o man_n who_o do_v love_v his_o bride_n well_o do_v not_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o her_o blemish_n and_o default_n but_o do_v overlook_v they_o and_o behold_v only_o her_o comely_a part_n her_o parentage_n her_o friend_n her_o beauty_n her_o wisdom_n her_o modesty_n her_o dowry_n her_o rich_a ornament_n and_o such_o thing_n alone_o as_o may_v commend_v she_o and_o make_v she_o to_o be_v gracious_a in_o his_o eye_n so_o deal_v here_o our_o saviour_n lesus_fw-la christ_n though_o his_o spouse_n have_v many_o

unto_o we_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o must_v we_o take_v as_o proceed_n from_o god_n and_o think_v that_o god_n even_o then_o do_v speak_v unto_o we_o himself_o from_o heaven_n as_o

be_v not_o his_o own_o a_o caveat_n that_o he_o do_v utter_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o be_v sure_o do_v come_v from_o christ_n a_o comfort_n in_o that_o he_o be_v so_o high_o advance_v as_o that_o

unto_o i_o he_o do_v direct_v his_o word_n to_o she_o and_o not_o to_o other_o but_o why_o to_o she_o be_v she_o now_o at_o this_o time_n ignorant_a and_o so_o to_o be_v instruct_v or_o be_v she_o in_o trouble_n and_o so_o to_o be_v comfort_v or_o be_v she_o in_o a_o fault_n and_o so_o to_o be_v correct_v or_o be_v she_o negligent_a in_o her_o duty_n and_o so_o to_o be_v quicken_v up_o for_o which_o of_o these_o four_o cause_n do_v he_o now_o speak_v unto_o she_o for_o the_o last_o as_o the_o word_n follow_v in_o the_o text_n itself_o do_v show_v where_o she_o be_v will_v to_o arise_v and_o to_o come_v away_o here_o i_o may_v take_v a_o occasion_n in_o that_o christ_n do_v thus_o direct_v his_o word_n unto_o she_o to_o show_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o

of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n this_o i_o may_v easy_o confirm_v unto_o you_o to_o be_v true_a in_o three_o respect_n the_o first_o be_v for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o the_o second_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o it_o and_o the_o three_o for_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o howsoever_o the_o wicked_a have_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o knowledge_n and_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o faith_n and_o
