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 sabbattism_n come_v in_o but_o now_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v urge_v i_o wovid_v help_v you_o in_o this_o through_o faith_n they_o obtain_v a_o good_a report_n a_o great_a fame_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o a_o great_a renown_n but_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o promise_n how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v they_o receive_v not_o the_o
