jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o have_v two_o particular_a passage_n the_o call_v on_o god_n part_n the_o answer_n on_o man_n part_n the_o call_n on_o god_n part_n be_v this_o when_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o call_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o work_v of_o his_o spirit_n do_v so_o clear_o reveal_v the_o fullness_n of_o mercy_n that_o the_o soul_n humble_v return_v answer_n in_o which_o observe_v the_o

grace_n and_o salvation_n bring_v unto_o we_o through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hence_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n call_v this_o gospel_n or_o this_o mercy_n a_o treasury_n all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n be_v in_o christ_n 3._o not_o one_o treasure_n but_o all_o treasure_n not_o some_o treasure_n but_o all_o treasure_n where_o the_o gospel_n come_v there_o be_v joy_n for_o the_o sorrowful_a peace_n for_o the_o trouble_a strength_n for_o the_o weak_a relief_n seasonable_a 61._o and_o suitable_a to_o all_o want_n misery_n and_o necessity_n both_o present_a and_o future_a if_o then_o sorrow_n assail_v thou_o when_o thou_o be_v come_v thus_o far_o look_v not_o on_o thy_o sin_n to_o pore_v upon_o they_o neither_o look_v into_o thy_o own_o use_v sufficiency_n to_o procure_v any_o good_a there_o it_o be_v true_a thou_o must_v see_v thy_o sin_n and_o sorrow_n for_o they_o but_o this_o be_v for_o the_o low_a form_n and_o thou_o must_v get_v this_o lesson_n beforehand_o and_o when_o thou_o have_v get_v this_o lesson_n of_o contrition_n and_o humiliation_n look_v then_o only_o to_o god_n mercy_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o christ_n 2._o for_o the_o cause_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o appoint_v the_o mean_n but_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o do_v bring_v all_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n into_o the_o soul_n true_o humble_v if_o you_o ask_v how_o first_o with_o strength_n of_o evidence_n the_o spirit_n present_v to_o the_o brokenhearted_a sinner_n the_o right_a of_o the_o freeness_n of_o god_n grace_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o second_o the_o spirit_n do_v forcible_o soak_v in_o the_o relish_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o by_o a_o over-piercing_a work_n do_v leave_v some_o dint_n of_o supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a virtue_n on_o the_o heart_n now_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n always_o go_v together_o not_o that_o god_n be_v tie_v to_o any_o mean_n but_o that_o he_o tie_v himself_o to_o the_o mean_n hence_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n because_o the_o power_n of_o god_n ordinary_o 16._o and_o in_o common_a course_n appear_v therein_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n run_v only_o in_o the_o channel_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v golden_a mine_n of_o grace_n but_o they_o be_v only_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o climate_n of_o the_o gospel_n nay_o observe_v this_o when_o all_o argument_n prevail_v not_o with_o corruption_n to_o persuade_v the_o heart_n to_o go_v to_o god_n one_o text_n of_o scripture_n will_v stand_v a_o man_n in_o stead_n above_o all_o human_a learning_n and_o invention_n because_o the_o spirit_n go_v forth_o in_o this_o and_o none_o else_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o gospel_n above_o all_o other_o information_n thing_n in_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o bring_v salvation_n with_o it_o what_o if_o a_o man_n have_v all_o the_o wealth_n and_o policy_n in_o the_o world_n and_o want_v this_o he_o be_v a_o fool_n what_o if_o one_o be_v able_a to_o dive_v deep_a into_o
