therefore_o honour_v god_n the_o father_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o wonderful_a saviour_n labour_v therefore_o first_o to_o search_v into_o this_o deep_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n oh_o what_o a_o

shall_v study_v the_o gospel_n search_v into_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o may_v see_v more_o of_o christ_n the_o more_o we_o see_v the_o more_o still_o we_o shall_v wonder_v for_o christ_n be_v a_o infinite_a depth_n and_o the_o more_o we_o search_v into_o he_o the_o more_o we_o shall_v see_v cause_n to_o wonder_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o ephesian_n mark_v what_o a_o prayer_n paul_n make_v for_o the_o ephesian_n in_o the_o 17_o and_o 18._o verse_n he_o tell_v they_o before_o that_o he_o do_v not_o cease_v to_o give_v thanks_o for_o they_o make_v mention_n of_o they_o in_o his_o prayer_n to_o what_o end_n that_o the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o glory_n may_v give_v unto_o you_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o from_o the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o the_o father_n of_o glory_n mark_n what_o title_n he_o give_v to_o god_n when_o he_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o must_v be_v the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o must_v do_v it_o and_o the_o father_n of_o glory_n god_n do_v never_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o glory_n so_o much_o as_o when_o he_o give_v the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o a_o soul_n than_o god_n do_v make_v himself_o to_o appear_v indeed_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o glory_n and_o further_o the_o eye_n of_o your_o understanding_n be_v enlighten_v that_o you_o may_v know_v what_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o his_o call_n and_o what_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o inheritance_n in_o the_o saint_n and_o what_o be_v the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o his_o power_n to_o us-ward_n who_o believe_v and_o in_o the_o three_o of_o the_o ephesian_n from_o the_o 14_o verse_n to_o the_o 20._o for_o this_o cause_n i_o bow_v my_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o the_o

in_o the_o inner-man_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n that_o you_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o love_n all_o this_o now_o be_v but_o a_o preparation_n to_o what_o he_o will_v desire_v further_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n this_o be_v a_o most_o admirable_a scripture_n sure_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n fill_v the_o heart_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o scripture_n as_o these_o be_v mighty_a strong_a argument_n to_o evince_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o we_o read_v such_o passage_n as_o these_o that_o have_v a_o spirit_n in_o they_o beyond_o the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n certain_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n to_o express_v himself_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o he_o bow_v his_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o may_v comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n length_n depth_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v that_o which_o i_o will_v especial_o observe_v that_o christian_n shall_v not_o content_v themselves_o with_o a_o little_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n but_o they_o shall_v labour_v to_o comprehend_v what_o be_v the_o length_n breadth_n depth_n and_o height_n they_o shall_v labour_v to_o dive_v into_o the_o m●steries_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o moses_n when_o he_o see_v that_o wonderful_a work_n in_o the_o wilderness_n say_v he_o i_o will_v now_o turn_v aside_o and_o see_v this_o great_a sight_n you_o have_v it_o record_v in_o the_o seven_o of_o the_o act_n and_o 31._o vers_fw-la there_o appear_v to_o he_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o mount_n sina_n a_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n in_o a_o bush_n when_o moses_n see_v it_o he_o wonder_v at_o the_o sight_n and_o as_o he_o draw_v near_o to_o behold_v it_o etc._n etc._n he_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o it_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o yet_o so_o much_o as_o he_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o then_o he_o draw_v near_o and_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o he_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o we_o we_o have_v some_o sight_n of_o christ_n but_o be_v it_o not_o at_o a_o distance_n we_o hear_v a_o minister_n speak_v of_o christ_n to_o we_o the_o great_a wonder_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o may_v be_v at_o the_o hear_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o christ_n beyond_o what_o we_o have_v apprehend_v heretofore_o i_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n let_v it_o not_o pass_v away_o so_o those_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v speak_v concern_v christ_n god_n will_v require_v a_o account_n of_o and_o know_v it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o pass_v by_o any_o soul_n and_o to_o do_v it_o no_o good_a if_o we_o have_v be_v preach_v to_o you_o of_o moral_a virtue_n or_o any_o deep_a discourse_n about_o any_o point_n save_v about_o jesus_n christ_n there_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o danger_n of_o let_v it_o pass_v without_o profit_n but_o when_o god_n set_v before_o you_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o son_n know_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n upon_o the_o hear_n of_o such_o thing_n without_o profit_n therefore_o you_o have_v need_n say_v upon_o the_o hear_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o moses_n say_v that_o you_o will_v draw_v near_o you_o will_v go_v and_o pray_v over_o these_o again_o and_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v reveal_v these_o thing_n unto_o you_o pray_v with_o david_n o_o lord_n open_v my_o eye_n that_o i_o may_v see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o thy_o law_n by_o law_n there_o be_v mean_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o sure_o upon_o our_o hear_n what_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o pray_v with_o more_o earnestness_n lord_n open_a our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o thy_o gospel_n but_o mark_v when_o moses_n draw_v near_o then_o god_n speak_v to_o he_o and_o reveal_v himself_o further_o to_o he_o if_o moses_n have_v stand_v wonder_v at_o this_o sight_n and_o go_v no_o further_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v not_o have_v god_n reveal_v himself_o so_o clear_o to_o he_o but_o when_o he_o draw_v near_o than_o god_n speak_v to_o he_o so_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v take_v with_o what_o you_o hear_v of_o this_o wonderful_a saviour_n and_o then_o you_o draw_v near_o and_o take_v pain_n in_o your_o closert_n by_o meditation_n and_o prayer_n to_o see_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o wonder_n why_o
