name_n of_o jubilation_n which_o i_o have_v insist_v the_o long_a upon_o because_o i_o observe_v so_o many_o father_n and_o so_o ancient_a so_o wise_a and_o so_o learned_a to_o be_v bring_v by_o this_o one_o word_n into_o so_o great_a a_o muse_n and_o almost_o into_o a_o maze_n and_o therefore_o i_o judge_v that_o not_o unworthy_a your_o hear_n which_o so_o many_o grave_a father_n and_o of_o so_o great_a learning_n have_v judge_v to_o be_v worthy_a their_o inquisition_n and_o search_v yea_o and_o that_o with_o such_o infinite_a and_o unexhausted_a pain_n and_o diligence_n as_o this_o

but_o only_o that_o one_o short_a lesson_n which_o the_o apostle_n john_n give_v we_o 1.4_o in_o the_o first_o of_o his_o epistle_n to_o wit_n that_o in_o this_o our_o rejoice_v unto_o god_n our_o joy_n must_v be_v full_a full_a not_o faint_a not_o formal_a not_o hypocritical_a but_o true_a sincere_a effectual_a that_o it_o may_v be_v indeed_o as_o it_o be_v in_o name_n a_o jubilation_n that_o be_v a_o full_a and_o hearty_a rejoice_v then_o to_o come_v now_o somewhat_o lower_v from_o this_o seraphical_a discourse_n wherein_o i_o have_v speak_v but_o only_o to_o a_o few_o and_o to_o descend_v unto_o more_o familiar_a and_o popular_a matter_n and_o to_o apply_v all_o this_o treatise_n unto_o our_o present_a purpose_n in_o vain_a do_v we_o now_o celebrate_v this_o feast_n of_o mirth_n and_o joy_n if_o we_o have_v no_o joy_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o have_v joy_n we_o have_v it_o in_o the_o hart_n and_o not_o in_o the_o lip_n only_o for_o joy_n as_o the_o stoic_n note_n

be_v full_a for_o he_o have_v even_o dilate_v and_o enlarge_v our_o heart_n as_o the_o prophet_n isai_n speak_v 60.5_o that_o we_o may_v large_o rejoice_v yea_o and_o further_o he_o have_v also_o enlarge_v the_o matter_n and_o subject_n of_o our_o joy_n and_o make_v it_o proportionable_a unto_o our_o heart_n that_o our_o joy_n on_o all_o side_n may_v even_o overflow_v and_o that_o our_o
