their_o hand_n and_o paul_n that_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o convert_v so_o many_o thousand_o he_o ascribe_v nothing_o to_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v with_o he_o so_o

when_o they_o be_v put_v to_o it_o they_o shrink_v away_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n for_o their_o faith_n want_v depth_n of_o earth_n that_o be_v the_o assent_n they_o give_v to_o the_o

as_o nothing_o now_o the_o way_n to_o get_v this_o magnanimity_n be_v to_o believe_v this_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o

have_v interest_n in_o he_o that_o will_v make_v he_o to_o despise_v all_o other_o thing_n as_o small_a thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o he_o indeed_o if_o god_n be_v great_a and_o we_o have_v no_o

that_o his_o greatness_n shall_v be_v improve_v to_o our_o advantage_n what_o addition_n can_v any_o thing_n else_o make_v unto_o we_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o paul_n raise_v his_o heart_n upon_o this_o ground_n phil._n 3.8_o consider_v the_o privilege_n that_o he_o have_v in_o christ_n this_o make_v he_o to_o account_v other_o thing_n as_o nothing_o hence_o in_o james_n 1.10_o let_v he_o that_o be_v of_o a_o high_a degree_n rejoice_v in_o that_o he_o be_v make_v low_o that_o be_v let_v he_o rejoice_v that_o he_o be_v enable_v to_o look_v upon_o his_o riches_n which_o he_o do_v so_o

second_o so_o likewise_o there_o be_v a_o rise_n for_o it_o in_o this_o regard_n because_o he_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v we_o and_o protect_v we_o and_o bear_v we_o out_o against_o all_o opposition_n you_o see_v that_o man_n look_v great_a because_o they_o have_v get_v great_a man_n or_o prince_n to_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o but_o when_o man_n consider_v that_o they_o have_v the_o great_a god_n on_o their_o side_n to_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o why_o shall_v not_o they_o have_v great_a mind_n thus_o moses_n hebr._n 11._o regard_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n because_o he_o do_v

this_o magnanimity_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v our_o god_n and_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o man_n faith_n such_o will_v be_v this_o greatness_n and_o magnanimity_n of_o mind_n that_o we_o commend_v to_o you_o saul_n when_o he_o be_v a_o king_n have_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n because_o when_o he_o believe_v in_o earnest_n that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n he_o look_v upon_o thing_n after_o another_o manner_n he_o have_v other_o thought_n and_o other_o affection_n than_o he_o have_v before_o and_o so_o will_v any_o man_n else_o if_o he_o be_v advance_v

it_o be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n which_o we_o call_v knowledge_n or_o else_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o he_o that_o reveal_v it_o and_o this_o we_o call_v faith_n and_o the_o difference_n of_o they_o stand_v in_o this_o the_o object_n of_o the_o first_o which_o we_o call_v knowledge_n be_v natural_a thing_n such_o as_o god_n do_v not_o reveal_v himself_o but_o they_o lie_v before_o we_o and_o reason_n can_v find_v they_o out_o but_o faith_n believe_v thing_n that_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o they_o as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o other_o for_o if_o one_o come_v and_o tell_v you_o any_o thing_n and_o if_o you_o believe_v it_o you_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o why_o you_o believe_v it_o aswell_o as_o of_o any_o other_o natural_a conclusion_n as_o that_o he_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n and_o one_o that_o i_o know_v will_v tell_v the_o truth_n
convert_v many_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o phrase_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o be_v a_o man_n full_a of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o many_o be_v add_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o by_o experience_n when_o you_o converse_v with_o worldly_a man_n they_o will_v be_v ready_a on_o every_o occasion_n to_o attribute_v the_o event_n of_o thing_n to_o natural_a cause_n but_o the_o godly_a they_o ascribe_v it_o to_o god_n now_o good_a word_n strengthen_v our_o faith_n but_o the_o evil_a word_n of_o natural_a man_n they_o corrupt_v good_a manner_n and_o not_o only_o the_o

of_o the_o scripture_n which_o he_o observe_v in_o joh._n 1._o but_o the_o other_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o it_o principle_n so_o it_o will_v still_o be_v true_a that_o walk_v with_o godly_a man_n will_v increase_v our_o faith_n but_o with_o worldly_a man_n it_o will_v weaken_v it_o therefore_o use_v all_o these_o mean_n to_o strengthen_v these_o principle_n in_o you_o for_o they_o will_v have_v many_o excellent_a effect_n in_o your_o life_n as_o when_o a_o man_n believe_v this_o thorough_o he_o will_v take_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o scripture_n against_o his_o own_o fancy_n and_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n with_o which_o we_o be_v still_o ready_a to_o be_v mislead_v so_o that_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v of_o riches_n that_o they_o be_v nothing_o whereas_o before_o thou_o
