essence_n and_o be_v of_o god_n himself_o these_o
i_o will_v only_o give_v you_o a_o hint_n of_o one_o or_o two_o now_o oh_o what_o infinite_a cause_n have_v we_o all_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o those_o low_a thought_n we_o have_v have_v of_o god_n use_v if_o god_n be_v thus_o as_o he_o have_v be_v but_o a_o little_a present_v to_o we_o now_o and_o by_o what_o we_o see_v we_o may_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v infinite_o more_o in_o god_n and_o

how_o little_o we_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v of_o they_o we_o may_v see_v cause_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o poor_a and_o low_a thought_n that_o we_o have_v have_v of_o this_o infinite_a majesty_n the_o unworthy_a thought_n that_o we_o have_v have_v of_o he_o when_o we_o have_v come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n you_o have_v come_v to_o prayer_n to_o god_n have_v you_o come_v to_o prayer_n as_o unto_o such_o a_o god_n have_v you_o have_v such_o kind_n of_o thought_n as_o these_o be_v that_o he_o be_v that_o high_a majesty_n certain_o you_o can_v sanctify_v god_n name_n

of_o god_n yet_o thus_o much_o i_o will_v say_v that_o those_o that_o have_v not_o apprehend_v every_o one_o of_o these_o thing_n of_o god_n have_v not_o sanctify_a god_n name_v as_o much_o as_o they_o shall_v for_o we_o be_v to_o apprehend_v what_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o to_o apprehend_v here_o in_o this_o world_n or_o otherwise_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n so_o as_o we_o ought_v when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n or_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o any_o other_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n if_o we_o do_v not_o apprehend_v of_o god_n as_o much_o as_o we_o possible_o can_v in_o this_o world_n we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n as_o much_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o we_o be_v to_o be_v ashamed_a that_o we_o have_v not_o such_o apprehension_n of_o god_n as_o we_o may_v possible_o have_v if_o god_n be_v such_o a_o god_n as_o this_o what_o poor_a thought_n of_o god_n be_v these_o that_o he_o be_v as_o a_o old_a man_n in_o heaven_n some_o have_v such_o poor_a apprehension_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o hear_v the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n eye_n and_o ear_n and_o hand_n they_o think_v that_o god_n have_v a_o body_n when_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v but_o speak_v to_o our_o capacity_n that_o be_v what_o a_o man_n can_v do_v with_o his_o eye_n or_o hand_n or_o ear_n that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o do_v by_o his_o infinite_a

world_n we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n except_o i_o say_v we_o apprehend_v god_n high_o in_o majesty_n and_o glory_n than_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n be_v suppose_v you_o be_v to_o

a_o wonderful_a way_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o conception_n and_o so_o bring_v forth_o by_o a_o virgin_n you_o will_v say_v why_o be_v this_o here_o indeed_o consist_v the_o wonder_n that_o we_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o not_o only_o to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v after_o such_o a_o way_n and_o not_o as_o adam_n be_v he_o be_v make_v man_n but_o he_o must_v be_v make_v man_n in_o such_o a_o marvellous_a way_n you_o will_v say_v why_o can_v not_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n after_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o generation_n you_o will_v answer_v to_o yourselves_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o but_o there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n mind_n that_o he_o will_v have_v you_o know_v why_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o if_o christ_n have_v be_v

the_o ordinary_a way_n if_o he_o have_v be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n than_o he_o must_v have_v be_v under_o the_o covenant_n that_o adam_n be_v for_o it_o be_v to_o all_o his_o posterity_n adam_n be_v to_o stand_v as_o a_o public_a person_n unto_o his_o posterity_n and_o in_o he_o we_o be_v to_o stand_v or_o fall_v now_o whether_o there_o may_v have_v be_v any_o other_o way_n or_o no_o for_o christ_n to_o have_v be_v free_v from_o it_o we_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o dispute_v but_o now_o christ_n be_v free_v from_o the_o covenant_n so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o now_o under_o original_a

therefore_o christ_n must_v come_v into_o the_o world_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o there_o must_v be_v no_o sin_n upon_o he_o at_o all_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o
