whether_o we_o have_v be_v right_a in_o the_o first_o act_n but_o there_o have_v be_v as_o they_o say_v a_o error_n in_o the_o foundation_n a_o error_n in_o the_o first_o concoction_n as_o physician_n speak_v and_o can_v be_v mend_v so_o there_o have_v be_v a_o error_n in_o take_v christ_n and_o error_n in_o the_o foundation_n become_v error_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o a_o man_n building_n a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v take_v christ_n and_o life_n under_o the_o power_n of_o his_o lust_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n because_o he_o never_o look_v christ_n aright_o man_n will_v say_v here_o you_o be_v mistake_v in_o your_o profession_n that_o you_o can_v live_v holy_o which_o your_o profession_n bind_v you_o to_o but_o i_o say_v if_o the_o thing_n be_v but_o well_o trace_v and_o inquire_v into_o it_o will_v be_v find_v here_o be_v the_o great_a miss_n that_o your_o first_o action_n fly_v off_o and_o do_v not_o right_o take_v christ_n the_o second_o chapter_n of_o john_n be_v a_o scripture_n that_o will_v clear_v this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v take_v christ_n by_o a_o false_a action_n and_o lose_v he_o in_o the_o very_a first_o rudiment_n and_o the_o first_o beginning_n by_o a_o mistake_n as_o now_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o embryo_n in_o the_o womb_n if_o there_o be_v a_o false_a formation_n a_o monstrous_a formation_n in_o the_o womb_n there_o be_v a_o irregularity_n all_o along_o the_o life_n so_o if_o faith_n be_v mistake_v in_o its_o first_o act_n in_o suppose_v it_o take_v christ_n and_o do_v not_o that_o error_n can_v be_v mend_v the_o latter_a error_n may_v be_v more_o apparent_a than_o the_o first_o but_o the_o first_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o john_n 2._o 23_o 24_o 25._o now_o when_o he_o be_v in_o jernsalem_n at_o the_o passover_n in_o the_o feast-day_n many_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n when_o they_o see_v the_o miracle_n that_o he_o do_v one_o will_v have_v think_v this_o be_v true_a faith_n as_o the_o great_a man_n of_o reason_n say_v because_o they_o be_v bring_v over_o to_o believe_v by_o see_v the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n but_o jesus_n do_v not_o commit_v himself_o unto_o they_o because_o he_o know_v all_o man_n and_o need_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v testify_v of_o man_n for_o he_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n if_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v himself_o to_o they_o we_o may_v very_o well_o understand_v he_o do_v not_o unite_n himself_o to_o they_o he_o know_v it_o be_v not_o that_o faith_n to_o which_o he_o unite_v himself_o and_o his_o righteousness_n christ_n do_v not_o commit_v himself_o to_o a_o faith_n that_o be_v not_o indeed_o as_o i_o say_v before_o a_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_n and_o the_o like_a precious_a faith_n and_o that_o be_v not_o give_v by_o that_o divine_a lot_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o expression_n be_v 2_o pet._n 1._o 1._o that_o i_o have_v former_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o to_o they_o who_o have_v obtain_v by_o lot_n by_o this_o divine_a lot_n like_o precious_a faith_n with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n i_o know_v we_o can_v look_v into_o this_o but_o by_o the_o divine_a spirit_n and_o by_o feel_v the_o twist_n of_o the_o soul_n about_o christ_n through_o that_o great_a operation_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o but_o this_o we_o may_v see_v plain_o christ_n do_v not_o commit_v himself_o to_o they_o so_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v his_o righteousness_n his_o propitiation_n his_o redemption_n he_o do_v not_o commit_v it_o but_o where_o he_o see_v a_o faith_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v give_v that_o be_v indeed_o of_o the_o true_a and_o excellent_a alloy_n for_o he_o know_v at_o the_o very_a first_o he_o see_v many_o that_o pretend_v to_o believe_v and_o that_o think_v they_o believe_v but_o he_o know_v very_o well_o where_o their_o faith_n be_v wrong_a and_o where_o it_o lose_v that_o great_a prize_n that_o pearl_n of_o price_n that_o it_o be_v to_o obtain_v he_o himself_o not_o commit_v or_o give_v himself_o know_v a_o true_a action_n of_o faith_n in_o receive_v he_o will_v not_o follow_v for_o that_o be_v the_o first_o action_n of_o faith_n to_o receive_v christ_n give_v himself_o the_o second_o kind_n of_o the_o action_n of_o faith_n they_o be_v those_o that_o though_o they_o be_v not_o immediate_o as_o the_o first_o act_n of_o take_v of_o christ_n by_o faith_n yet_o they_o immediate_o result_v and_o rise_v up_o when_o any_o man_n have_v take_v christ_n there_o be_v some_o action_n that_o do_v immediate_o result_v and_o arise_v they_o bear_v the_o hue_n they_o carry_v the_o complexion_n they_o have_v upon_o they_o the_o lineament_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o die_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n they_o have_v such_o peculiar_a respect_n to_o his_o blood_n to_o his_o death_n to_o his_o redemption_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o two_o of_o these_o we_o find_v in_o scripture-saint_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v draw_v out_o in_o brief_a expression_n the_o general_a action_n of_o christian_n according_a to_o their_o pattern_n the_o first_o be_v that_o in_o the_o 11_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v say_v of_o moses_n v._o 28._o through_o faith_n he_o keep_v the_o passover_n and_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o blood_n lest_o he_o that_o destroy_v the_o first_o bear_v shall_v touch_v they_o this_o he_o do_v by_o faith_n god_n command_v he_o indeed_o to_o keep_v the_o passover_n but_o moses_n have_v a_o eye_n upon_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n in_o it_o and_o by_o faith_n he_o keep_v the_o passover_n so_o every_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o it_o make_v recourse_n to_o christ_n upon_o all_o occasion_n after_o it_o have_v take_v he_o it_o be_v like_o keep_v the_o passover_n every_o act_n i_o say_v wherein_o we_o do_v especial_o depend_v upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v close_a recourse_n and_o application_n to_o it_o it_o be_v a_o action_n result_v from_o true_a save_v justify_v faith_n that_o true_a faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v save_v and_o justify_v for_o so_o indeed_o i_o observe_v though_o we_o call_v it_o justify_v faith_n the_o scripture_n never_o call_v it_o so_o but_o the_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v to_o make_v good_a that_o point_n that_o i_o have_v always_o press_v upon_o you_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n as_o a_o act_n but_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o as_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o it_o for_o that_o righteousness_n alone_o be_v our_o justification_n but_o this_o i_o say_v there_o be_v act_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o it_o do_v make_v recourse_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o his_o blood_n another_o example_n and_o i_o choose_v to_o give_v it_o you_o because_o it_o be_v seat_v in_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n james_n that_o be_v make_v the_o great_a objection_n against_o the_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v through_o the_o righteousness_n and_o propitiation_n of_o christ_n james_n 2._o 21._o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v not_o abraham_n our_o father_n justify_v by_o work_n when_o he_o have_v offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n see_v thou_o how_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n and_o by_o work_n be_v faith_n make_v perfect_a now_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o observe_v to_o you_o the_o offer_v of_o isaac_n it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o conversant_a act_n about_o the_o death_n blood_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n as_o any_o can_v possible_o be_v represent_v in_o scripture_n to_o we_o for_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o great_a type_n and_o representation_n of_o the_o father_n give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o to_o become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o they_o than_o that_o of_o abraham_n the_o affectionate_a father_n of_o isaac_n offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n use_v this_o for_o a_o argument_n of_o a_o work_a faith_n this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o faith_n indeed_o it_o be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o faith_n take_v christ_n but_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o faith_n conversant_a about_o the_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n be_v express_v in_o it_o see_v thou_o how_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n this_o be_v a_o great_a act_n in_o which_o faith_n wrought_v mighty_o when_o abraham_n offer_v up_o isaac_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o a_o work_n of_o moral_a obedience_n as_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o greatness_n and_o excellency_n of_o it_o and_o the_o eye_n it_o have_v to_o christ_n though_o it_o be_v a_o high_a act_n of_o obedience_n of_o self_n resigning_n also_o so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v many_o act_n which_o be_v

intend_v to_o treat_v of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v i_o have_v take_v this_o weighty_a text_n as_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o discourse_n wherein_o we_o have_v these_o four_o

justify_v by_o faith_n 2._o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v a_o conclusion_n result_v from_o a_o strong_a nervous_a and_o vehement_a reason_v of_o the_o apostle_n that_o have_v go_v

full_a and_o perfect_a righteousness_n 4._o the_o supreme_a principal_a cause_n of_o our_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o have_v peace_n from_o it_o be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o as_o the_o apostle_n go_v on_o we_o have_v access_n unto_o this_o grace_n wherein_o we_o stand_v this_o then_o be_v the_o grand_a proposition_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n therefore_o propose_v to_o open_v the_o great_a grace_n of_o gospel_n faith_n to_o you_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v because_o indeed_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a point_n that_o can_v be_v speak_v of_o and_o therefore_o these_o head_n of_o discourse_n i_o will_v now_o undertake_v to_o handle_v to_o you_o concern_v it_o first_o to_o show_v you_o that_o the_o supreme_a and_o high_a and_o original_a account_n or_o description_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v take_v by_o its_o relation_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o it_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o if_o you_o remove_v that_o if_o you_o take_v away_o that_o respect_n that_o great_a respect_n that_o it_o look_v upon_o and_o eye_n jesus_n christ_n the_o mediator_n in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o shall_v come_v to_o consider_v how_o faith_n even_o in_o its_o relation_n to_o christ_n and_o as_o it_o look_v upon_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v faith_n or_o that_o whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o right_o state_n this_o as_o the_o gospel_n do_v as_o it_o be_v say_v the_o last_o error_n may_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o first_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v particular_o guide_v your_o thought_n and_o apprehension_n how_o faith_n as_o it_o look_v to_o christ_n justify_v i_o shall_v therefore_o show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n itself_o but_o only_o the_o great_a righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n receive_v by_o faith_n that_o justify_v in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o shall_v com●…_n consider_v that_o great_a certainty_n that_o faith_n be_v to_o obtain_v in_o every_o point_n wherein_o it_o so_o act_n which_o it_o ought_v to_o reach_v after_o and_o to_o aspire_v to_o in_o every_o point_n wherein_o it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v have_v peace_n by_o it_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o christ_n say_v john_n 17._o 7_o 8._o they_o have_v sure_o know_v and_o have_v believe_v that_o i_o come_v forth_o from_o thou_o and_o that_o thou_o do_v send_v i_o so_o in_o every_o thing_n faith_n be_v sure_o to_o know_v and_o then_o in_o the_o four_o place_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o life_n and_o the_o power_n and_o the_o activity_n of_o this_o faith_n and_o compare_v thein_o heb._n 11._o and_o james_z 2_o where_o that_o apostle_n speak_v of_o faith_n be_v dead_a that_o be_v without_o work_n and_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o commentary_n no_o such_o way_n of_o reconcile_a the_o apostle_n james_n with_o the_o apostle_n paul_n the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v of_o faith_n justify_v without_o work_n and_o the_o apostle_n james_n speak_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n only_o but_o by_o work_n also_o i_o say_v the_o great_a reconciliation_n will_v be_v by_o lay_v heb._n 11._o and_o james_n 2._o together_o now_o i_o begin_v at_o this_o time_n with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o and_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o with_o great_a assurance_n this_o assertion_n concern_v the_o respect_n faith_n have_v to_o christ_n that_o there_o never_o have_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o sound_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o world_n there_o have_v never_o be_v the_o name_n not_o the_o air_n and_o much_o less_o the_o thing_n have_v not_o god_n bring_v the_o first_o beget_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v into_o the_o world_n have_v not_o jesus_n christ_n give_v a_o be_v to_o faith_n there_o have_v never_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o faith_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o the_o apostle_n call_v christ_n by_o this_o very_a name_n gal._n 3._o 23._o before_o faith_n come_v say_v he_o we_o be_v under_o tutor_n and_o governor_n we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n shut_v up_o unto_o the_o faith_n which_o shall_v afterward_o be_v reveal_v before_o faith_n come_v it_o be_v certain_a faith_n be_v in_o the_o world_n before_o the_o gospel_n before_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o it_o be_v say_v abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o yet_o say_v the_o apostle_n before_o faith_n come_v that_o be_v before_o christ_n come_v because_o faith_n be_v so_o essential_o dependent_a upon_o christ_n and_o respective_a unto_o he_o christ_n be_v such_o a_o real_a foundation_n and_o support_v of_o faith_n that_o he_o be_v worthy_o and_o proper_o call_v by_o the_o very_a na●…_n or_o by_o the_o word_n faith_n before_o faith_n come_v but_o for_o the_o clear_a open_n and_o make_v out_o of_o this_o to_o you_o i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o these_o three_o head_n first_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o high_a revelation_n of_o god_n now_o faith_n it_o be_v describe_v by_o almost_o all_o in_o part_n at_o least_o to_o be_v a_o assent_n to_o a_o divine_a revelation_n upon_o the_o credit_n that_o we_o give_v to_o the_o revealer_n upon_o the_o authority_n and_o veracity_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o revealer_n for_o faith_n you_o know_v proper_o be_v a_o believe_v the_o report_n of_o another_o or_o the_o witness_n of_o another_o we_o can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o believe_v when_o we_o do_v know_v the_o thing_n ourselves_o and_o have_v see_v it_o by_o our_o own_o eye_n but_o when_o we_o trust_v and_o credit_v that_o assurance_n that_o another_o give_v we_o of_o it_o now_o therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v out_o to_o you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o faith_n must_v needs_o live_v and_o die_v with_o he_o as_o i_o may_v so_o express_v it_o in_o familiar_a language_n it_o be_v as_o essential_a to_o faith_n to_o have_v the_o manifestation_n and_o revelation_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o eye_n to_o have_v light_n and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n whereas_o the_o notion_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o trust_n and_o a_o depend_v upon_o some_o great_a good_a that_o be_v offer_v to_o we_o from_o the_o supreme_a good_a that_o we_o have_v no_o right_a nor_o title_n to_o in_o ourselves_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o great_a and_o rich_a good_a that_o be_v give_v to_o we_o from_o the_o father_n and_o that_o though_o we_o have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o thing_n in_o ourselves_o yet_o we_o come_v to_o trust_v and_o to_o depend_v and_o to_o rely_v upon_o it_o as_o if_o we_o have_v a_o title_n and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n whereas_o faith_n be_v very_o true_o though_o not_o in_o the_o first_o account_n of_o it_o describe_v to_o be_v a_o power_n

it_o be_v true_a because_o as_o god_n say_v they_o be_v his_o servant_n in_o the_o do_n of_o they_o and_o they_o be_v as_o the_o axe_n and_o as_o the_o see_v in_o his_o hand_n he_o give_v they_o great_a strength_n and_o so_o now_o what_o be_v do_v and_o have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o french_a potentate_n certain_o it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v have_v a_o great_a end_n and_o design_n in_o it_o and_o i_o be_o very_o sure_a it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o god_n have_v set_v he_o up_o to_o do_v all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v for_o special_a purpose_n of_o his_o own_o and_o according_a to_o all_o that_o frame_v of_o prophecy_n that_o be_v give_v but_o now_o here_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n as_o here_o do_v but_o observe_v it_o as_o god_n speak_v in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o david_n and_o nabuchadnezzar_n between_o joshua_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o nebucadnezzar_n or_o such_o a_o one_o as_o alexander_n or_o such_o a_o one_o as_o julius_n caesar_n that_o history_n make_v so_o famous_a i_o say_v here_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n as_o god_n say_v they_o be_v but_o like_o the_o see_v in_o his_o hand_n isa_n 10._o 15._o shall_v the_o axe_n boast_v itself_o against_o he_o that_o hew_v therewith_o or_o shall_v the_o see_v magnify_v itself_o against_o he_o that_o shake_v it_o that_o be_v these_o be_v thing_n without_o sense_n you_o know_v a_o axe_n or_o a_o saw_n whatever_o it_o do_v it_o do_v without_o any_o sense_n of_o what_o it_o do_v so_o these_o have_v do_v great_a thing_n because_o they_o have_v be_v in_o god_n hand_n to_o do_v by_o but_o they_o have_v no_o sense_n at_o all_o of_o the_o thing_n they_o do_v they_o have_v no_o faith_n here_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n now_o i_o say_v if_o we_o can_v receive_v it_o this_o i_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v the_o great_a reconciliation_n between_o the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o the_o apostle_n james_n this_o 11_o to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o expound_v what_o the_o apostle_n mean_v by_o a_o faith_n of_o work_n he_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o ordinary_a work_n of_o holiness_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o extraordinary_a as_o abraham_n sacrifice_v his_o son_n and_o rahab_n leave_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o country_n from_o a_o sight_n that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o exalt_v that_o people_n of_o israel_n these_o be_v the_o heroic_a act_n of_o faith_n and_o these_o the_o apostle_n proper_o speak_v of_o and_o therefore_o to_o argue_v the_o ordinary_a duty_n practice_n and_o conversation_n and_o holiness_n to_o justification_n be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o apostle_n meaning_n not_o in_o justify_v abraham_n as_o i_o shall_v speak_v particular_o to_o that_o wherein_o and_o how_o faith_n come_v to_o justify_v but_o still_o i_o go_v on_o further_o lest_o any_o one_o shall_v say_v why_o then_o be_v not_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o holiness_n under_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o derive_v by_o christ_n yes_o by_o all_o mean_n as_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o you_o before_o he_o be_v our_o sanctification_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o it_o only_o now_o as_o under_o this_o head_n the_o heroic_a act_n of_o faith_n for_o all_o the_o ordinary_a act_n of_o faith_n come_v under_o he_o as_o now_o suppose_v any_o one_o be_v call_v out_o either_o as_o a_o general_n in_o this_o very_a age_n if_o he_o be_v true_o a_o believer_n in_o christ_n though_o he_o do_v but_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v accountable_a according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o arm_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o a_o general_n and_o the_o great_a use_n and_o office_n of_o a_o general_n yet_o still_o even_o those_o ordinary_a action_n where_o they_o be_v believer_n be_v do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n you_o will_v say_v why_o when_o other_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n i_o answer_v as_o i_o do_v before_o they_o be_v but_o axe_n and_o hammer_n as_o god_n call_v nabuchadnezzar_n the_o hammer_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o his_o empire_n be_v the_o hammer_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n they_o do_v thing_n but_o as_o hammer_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n i_o will_v assure_v you_o in_o this_o thing_n though_o the_o outward_a action_n be_v the_o same_o yet_o the_o inward_a be_v not_o the_o same_o when_o a_o man_n as_o a_o general_n lead_v a_o army_n in_o the_o cause_n and_o interest_n of_o god_n and_o when_o another_o do_v it_o by_o his_o own_o prowess_n the_o one_o do_v it_o by_o faith_n the_o other_o by_o a_o instrument_n there_o be_v a_o live_a spirit_n in_o believer_n and_o therefore_o god_n do_v many_o time_n raise_v they_o up_o to_o great_a action_n than_o ordinary_a but_o i_o only_o speak_v when_o god_n call_v man_n to_o deny_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o pharaoh_n daughter_n as_o moses_n when_o he_o call_v joshua_n to_o be_v so_o great_a a_o warrior_n in_o the_o world_n and_o david_n and_o those_o worthy_n to_o do_v extraordinary_a work_n it_o be_v by_o faith_n through_o the_o mediator_n it_o be_v all_o upon_o his_o account_n and_o be_v manage_v for_o he_o and_o by_o his_o strength_n by_o faith_n the_o five_o thing_n in_o which_o i_o will_v open_v to_o you_o the_o great_a excellency_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n that_o in_o the_o obtain_n of_o wonderful_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n how_o god_n have_v enlarge_v faith_n to_o the_o obtain_n of_o extraordinary_a thing_n in_o several_a age_n of_o the_o world_n indeed_o you_o may_v say_v such_o thing_n be_v cease_v now_o but_o as_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o revival_n of_o they_o but_o now_o when_o such_o great_a thing_n as_o we_o read_v of_o at_o any_o time_n in_o the_o scripture_n extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o deliverance_n of_o his_o saint_n when_o elijah_n pray_v and_o shut_v the_o heaven_n when_o great_a deliverance_n be_v obtain_v by_o prayer_n in_o fight_v when_o there_o have_v be_v great_a answer_n of_o prayer_n extraordinary_a answer_n of_o prayer_n in_o any_o case_n that_o god_n have_v appear_v in_o the_o mount_n this_o have_v be_v from_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 11_o one_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o put_v into_o the_o great_a record_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v this_o that_o they_o obtain_v promise_n vers_fw-la 33._o they_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o lion_n when_o the_o fire_n can_v not_o burn_v upon_o those_o three_o shadrach_n meshach_n and_o abednego_n why_o this_o be_v by_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n they_o quench_v the_o violence_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o woman_n receive_v their_o dead_a raise_v to_o life_n again_o this_o be_v by_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v extraordinary_a thing_n give_v to_o the_o mediator_n to_o do_v for_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o the_o season_n that_o he_o see_v fit_a and_o they_o be_v convey_v to_o but_o i_o will_v very_o earnest_o desire_v to_o add_v something_o concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o abundant_a of_o such_o a_o world_n to_o come_v whereof_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o speak_v in_o such_o a_o new_a heaven_n in_o such_o a_o new_a earth_n in_o such_o a_o sabbattism_n that_o remain_v for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o such_o a_o glorious_a inheritance_n as_o shall_v he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o be_v so_o hard_a to_o believe_v it_o it_o be_v only_o the_o want_n of_o faith_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o scripture_n concern_v this_o heb._n 11._o 39_o 40._o these_o all_o have_v obtain_v a_o good_a report_n through_o faith_n receive_v not_o the_o promise_n god_n have_v provide_v some_o better_a thing_n for_o we_o that_o they_o without_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v make_v perfect_a this_o place_n of_o scripture_n if_o it_o be_v but_o well_o pursue_v followed_z and_o argue_v from_o will_v prove_v to_o you_o that_o the_o great_a point_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n undoubted_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o eternal_a life_n a_o eternal_a happiness_n for_o adam_n if_o he_o have_v stand_v in_o innocency_n there_o have_v be_v a_o preparation_n and_o a_o provision_n but_o this_o very_a state_n of_o thing_n come_v in_o by_o the_o mediator_n by_o his_o enter_v into_o rest_n for_o we_o this_o great_a
