reason_n of_o deadness_n and_o backwardness_n to_o such_o a_o good_a work_n as_o edify_v of_o one_o another_o in_o love_n when_o they_o be_v together_o and_o for_o want_v of_o make_v it_o as_o sometime_o they_o shall_v the_o very_a design_n and_o end_n of_o their_o come_n together_o to_o build_v up_o one_o another_o in_o their_o most_o holy_a faith_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o say_v if_o they_o can_v but_o once_o get_v into_o it_o and_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v not_o only_o true_a christian_n but_o fervent_a oh_o what_o comfortable_a profitable_a communion_n will_v there_o be_v sometime_o between_o they_o that_o their_o very_a heart_n will_v be_v knit_v together_o by_o it_o as_o it_o be_v between_o jonathan_n and_o david_n when_o they_o have_v have_v communion_n together_o the_o soul_n of_o jonathan_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o david_n and_o they_o love_v one_o another_o as_o their_o own_o soul_n now_o the_o have_v of_o this_o live_a communion_n together_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n set_v a_o very_a high_a esteem_n upon_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o encourage_v god_n people_n to_o be_v more_o frequent_a and_o forward_a in_o it_o than_o many_o of_o we_o be_v see_v mal._n 3._o 16._o then_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o one_o to_o another_o and_o the_o lord_n hearken_v and_o hear_v it_o and_o a_o book_n of_o remembrance_n be_v write_v before_o he_o for_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o think_v upon_o his_o name_n this_o be_v a_o scripture_n that_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v make_v you_o even_o long_o to_o be_v more_o at_o this_o work_n for_o mark_v what_o encouragement_n it_o carry_v in_o it_o 1._o the_o lord_n hearken_v as_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o attention_n and_o 2._o hear_v it_o as_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o acceptation_n and_o then_o 3._o this_o must_v not_o only_o be_v accept_v but_o it_o must_v be_v write_v 4._o not_o in_o some_o loose_a little_a paper_n or_o scroll_n but_o in_o a_o book_n and_o 5._o this_o book_n must_v be_v call_v a_o book_n of_o remembrance_n remembrance_n must_v be_v the_o very_a name_n of_o it_o and_o 6._o that_o it_o may_v be_v remember_v it_o must_v not_o be_v lay_v away_o but_o be_v before_o he_o 4._o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n we_o be_v interest_v in_o it_o put_v life_n into_o our_o hope_n if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o all_o our_o hope_n of_o mercy_n and_o salvation_n be_v but_o dead_a hope_n and_o you_o will_v have_v no_o more_o benefit_n by_o they_o than_o you_o will_v have_v of_o a_o man_n that_o you_o have_v great_a hope_n in_o that_o he_o will_v be_v a_o mighty_a friend_n to_o you_o in_o your_o distress_n and_o you_o count_v upon_o it_o before_o your_o distress_n come_v upon_o you_o that_o certain_o you_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o friend_n as_o pass_v of_o that_o man_n and_o thus_o you_o go_v on_o and_o when_o your_o great_a distress_n come_v upon_o you_o than_o you_o begin_v to_o look_v out_o for_o this_o friend_n that_o he_o may_v now_o do_v for_o you_o according_a to_o what_o he_o put_v you_o in_o hope_n he_o will_v do_v and_o when_o you_o have_v inquire_v after_o he_o and_o now_o have_v such_o great_a need_n of_o help_n you_o find_v the_o man_n be_v dead_a so_o if_o you_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n hope_v what_o you_o will_v it_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o what_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v not_o do_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o be_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o you_o shall_v do_v it_o heb._n 10._o 35._o he_o say_v they_o must_v by_o no_o mean_n cast_v away_o their_o confidence_n but_o oh_o sir_n you_o that_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n must_n by_o all_o mean_v cast_v away_o you_o you_o must_v throw_v it_o out_o for_o a_o castaway_n and_o if_o you_o do_v make_v that_o a_o castaway_n that_o will_v help_v to_o cast_v away_o you_o what_o a_o slave_n to_o sin_n and_o yet_o hope_v to_o enjoy_v the_o privilege_n and_o happiness_n of_o they_o that_o be_v make_v free_a by_o christ_n away_o with_o it_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o pray_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o god_n almighty_n will_v bring_v you_o to_o final_a desperation_n what_o sinner_n do_v thou_o think_v to_o live_v by_o a_o dead_a hope_n obj._n but_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v that_o my_o hope_n be_v a_o dead_a hope_n answ_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o but_o even_o in_o three_o word_n 1._o because_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o no_o hope_n eph._n 2._o 12._o as_o a_o dead_a man_n be_v as_o good_a as_o no_o man_n so_o a_o dead_a hope_n be_v no_o hope_n 2._o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o hope_n to_o which_o god_n have_v beget_v thou_o thou_o have_v give_v thyself_o this_o hope_n but_o the_o live_a hope_n be_v that_o which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o his_o people_n by_o beget_v of_o they_o to_o himself_o by_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v bear_v again_o 1_o pet._n 1._o 3._o 3._o because_o it_o do_v not_o bring_v forth_o any_o purify_n fruit_n thou_o keep_v thy_o hope_n and_o keep_v thy_o sin_n too_o thy_o hope_n and_o holiness_n do_v not_o go_v together_o thou_o can_v allow_v thyself_o in_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o mind_v not_o a_o be_v like_a to_o god_n whereas_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o they_o that_o have_v the_o live_a hope_n they_o purify_v themselves_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a 1_o joh._n 3._o 3_o 8._o one_o thing_n more_o brief_o about_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n as_o to_o another_o name_n by_o which_o it_o be_v call_v serve_v to_o set_v out_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v it_o be_v call_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n now_o that_o be_v a_o precious_a thing_n indeed_o what_o be_v all_o that_o we_o have_v if_o we_o have_v not_o god_n blessing_n with_o it_o why_o it_o be_v his_o blessing_n that_o keep_v we_o from_o his_o curse_n when_o god_n intend_v the_o great_a good_a to_o abraham_n he_o sum_v it_o up_o in_o this_o i_o will_v bless_v thou_o gen._n 12._o 2._o and_o so_o when_o you_o wish_v the_o great_a mercy_n to_o other_o you_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v bless_v they_o his_o blessing_n be_v the_o comfort_n of_o every_o call_v of_o every_o relation_n of_o every_o condition_n why_o now_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n be_v god_n blessing_n see_v act_n 3._o ult_n unto_o you_o first_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n send_v he_o to_o bless_v you_o in_o turn_v away_o every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o his_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v upon_o it_o be_v this_o that_o if_o you_o have_v not_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n you_o will_v never_o have_v god_n blessing_n and_o therefore_o you_o will_v have_v god_n curse_n that_o will_v be_v your_o portion_n i_o grant_v that_o in_o some_o sense_n you_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v his_o blessing_n that_o be_v you_o may_v have_v outward_a mercy_n in_o which_o respect_n god_n say_v he_o will_v bless_v ishmael_n himself_o though_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n gen._n 17._o 20._o but_o he_o may_v bless_v you_o thus_o and_o yet_o you_o may_v be_v curse_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o you_o will_v be_v if_o christ_n do_v not_o make_v you_o free_a and_o oh_o sir_n what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v to_o lie_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n to_o eternity_n do_v you_o think_v you_o be_v strong_a enough_o to_o bear_v such_o a_o load_n as_o this_o be_v world_n without_o end_n you_o may_v see_v some_o inkling_n of_o it_o now_o what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n this_o curse_n be_v if_o god_n do_v but_o let_v fall_v a_o drop_n of_o it_o upon_o a_o great_a estate_n how_o it_o moulder_n or_o upon_o any_o person_n for_o his_o wickedness_n what_o a_o forlorn_a creature_n he_o become_v as_o cain_n why_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o will_v dry_v one_o up_o to_o the_o root_n as_o the_o figtree_n when_o christ_n curse_v it_o immediate_o it_o wither_v away_o but_o what_o then_o will_v it_o be_v in_o hell_n where_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o its_o full_a force_n but_o as_o for_o they_o who_o be_v interest_v in_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n i_o may_v say_v to_o they_o as_o in_o psal_n 115._o 15._o you_o be_v bless_v of_o the_o lord_n
