with_o all_o the_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o height_n and_o depth_n and_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o say_v he_o that_o you_o may_v know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n

to_o it_o that_o we_o do_v endeavour_v for_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o this_o knowledge_n that_o we_o may_v be_v as_o comprehensive_a of_o it_o as_o possible_a we_o can_v this_o be_v our_o duty_n as_o now_o to_o instance_n in_o some_o particular_n the_o apostle_n speak_v concern_v this_o mystery_n in_o col._n 1._o speak_v there_o of_o the_o mystery_n which_o say_v he_o be_v christ_n in_o you_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n o_o brethren_n do_v you_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v you_o do_v but_o i_o say_v i_o be_o sufficient_o warrant_v to_o say_v if_o any_o

mystery_n the_o apostle_n call_v it_o so_o you_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v you_o can_v reach_v the_o bottom_n of_o this_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o you_o and_o christ_n in_o you_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n alas_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o put_v ourselves_o off_o with_o a_o little_a sip_n of_o the_o cup_n we_o go_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o top_n of_o the_o lip_n and_o give_v a_o touch_n upon_o that_o which_o will_v cover_v head_n and_o shoulder_n and_o all_o we_o may_v stand_v under_o these_o water_n they_o be_v so_o deep_a such_o a_o word_n as_o this_o it_o bespeak_v our_o search_n and_o disquisition_n and_o inquiry_n and_o to_o set_v in_o with_o god_n o_o but_o lord_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o christ_n in_o you_o and_o christ_n in_o you_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n this_o bespeak_v our_o endeavour_n after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ._n here_o i_o may_v fall_v upon_o sundry_a other_o particular_n as_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o apostle_n account_v in_o eph._n 3._o he_o speak_v there_o of_o the_o mystery_n which_o be_v keep_v secret_a from_o age_n and_o generation_n and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o so_o make_v know_v as_o it_o be_v now_o to_o his_o holy_a apostle_n and_o prophet_n by_o the_o spirit_n what_o be_v this_o mystery_n that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v fellow-heir_n of_o the_o same_o body_n partaker_n of_o his_o promise_n in_o christ_n by_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v a_o mystery_n and_o this_o bespeak_v our_o endeavour_n after_o a_o growth_n in_o knowledge_n even_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ._n christ_n will_v be_v consider_v as_o mystical_a christ_n he_o will_v be_v make_v up_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n the_o middle_a wall_n be_v break_v down_o a_o mystery_n hide_v from_o age_n and_o generation_n but_o it_o be_v make_v know_v i_o but_o how_o little_a a_o thing_n be_v know_v even_o of_o this_o and_o then_o i_o add_v withal_o the_o mystery_n it_o be_v the_o mystery_n concern_v the_o gentile_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o to_o be_v fellow-heir_n it_o be_v the_o mystery_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o jew_n so_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o in_o rom._n 11._o this_o mystery_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o ignorant_a of_o lest_o you_o shall_v be_v wise_a in_o your_o own_o conceit_n that_o blindness_n in_o part_n be_v happen_v to_o the_o jew_n until_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n come_v in_o and_o then_o all_o israel_n shall_v be_v save_v here_o be_v a_o mystery_n now_o these_o mystery_n bespeak_v our_o serious_a endeavour_n that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o then_o the_o mystery_n concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n the_o administration_n of_o it_o the_o delivery_n of_o it_o upon_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o to_o the_o father_n the_o apostle_n hold_v forth_o these_o mystery_n the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o then_o the_o deliver_v up_o of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o when_o christ_n have_v perform_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o i_o say_v these_o be_v mystery_n belong_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n which_o do_v all_o of_o they_o loud_o bespeak_v our_o most_o sedulous_a endeavour_n after_o a_o growth_n in_o this_o bless_a knowledge_n and_o to_o add_v no_o more_o consider_v that_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o tim._n 3._o the_o latter_a end_n great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o

into_o glory_n have_v we_o comprehend_v have_v we_o attain_v the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v far_o from_o think_v so_o according_a to_o that_o account_n of_o he_o n●…_n as_o if_o i_o have_v already_o attain_v or_o be_v already_o perfect_a what_o have_v we_o get_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o these_o mystery_n be_v we_o able_a to_o fathom_v the_o depth_n of_o they_o o_o how_o little_a a_o thing_n do_v we_o know_v of_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o good_a say_n of_o one_o of_o the_o ancient_n many_o thing_n because_o of_o the_o customary_a mention_v of_o they_o they_o be_v slight_v which_o if_o they_o be_v but_o serious_o weigh_v will_v cause_v admiration_n to_o astonishment_n god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n why_o it_o be_v a_o mystery_n that_o we_o may_v bestow_v a_o whole_a age_n of_o a_o thousand_o year_n in_o study_v and_o never_o be_v able_a to_o come_v to_o the_o full_a understanding_n of_o angel_n desire_v to_o look_v into_o these_o thing_n now_o upon_o these_o account_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o subject_a matter_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n it_o may_v well_o be_v require_v of_o believer_n that_o they_o do_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n that_o they_o

saint_n duty_n to_o endeavour_v a_o knowledge_n in_o the_o growth_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n for_o otherwise_o true_o we_o do_v not_o answer_v the_o provision_n that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o such_o a_o purpose_n we_o walk_v unworthy_a of_o the_o goodness_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o have_v discover_v itself_o this_o way_n in_o order_n to_o such_o a_o growth_n for_o mark_v you_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n upon_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n the_o gospel_n it_o be_v but_o whisper_v whisper_v there_o be_v something_o dark_o secret_o and_o couchant_o

star_n arise_v nay_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n break_v out_o and_o now_o we_o have_v clear_a and_o clear_a discovery_n of_o the_o mystery_n concern_v our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o mark_v you_o when_o christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n he_o send_v a_o token_n of_o his_o love_n to_o his_o church_n and_o people_n a_o book_n of_o mystery_n of_o mystery_n concern_v the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o
