therefore_o it_o may_v be_v call_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n three_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n because_o of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o the_o give_v out_o of_o

we_o have_v need_n of_o all_o that_o can_v be_v to_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o christ_n call_v it_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n the_o disciple_n may_v conceive_v o_o be_v

christ_n his_o follower_n be_v now_o come_v into_o as_o this_o promise_n no_o promise_n be_v so_o suitable_a to_o a_o poor_a soul_n in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n absence_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n christ_n have_v be_v personal_o present_a with_o his_o disciple_n some_o time_n and_o he_o have_v comfort_v cheer_v warm_v and_o quicken_v they_o and_o when_o his_o personal_a

christ_n give_v they_o this_o promise_n as_o most_o suit_v they_o if_o any_o thing_n can_v hold_v they_o up_o against_o the_o rage_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n now_o in_o his_o absence_n it_o will_v be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o most_o suitable_a promise_n second_o because_o this_o promise_n it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o very_a nick_n of_o fulfil_a the_o promise_n be_v ancient_a but_o now_o the_o very_a time_n of_o fulfil_n of_o it_o be_v at_o hand_n the_o time_n of_o give_v out_o of_o more_o abundance_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v draw_v on_o now_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n with_o his_o child_n when_o the_o promise_n be_v upon_o the_o nick_n of_o fulfil_v then_o will_v god_n be_v put_v on_o his_o child_n in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n to_o be_v wait_v and_o seek_v and_o look_v up_o to_o he_o even_o for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o that_o promise_n therefore_o when_o the_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n in_o

be_v even_o expire_v when_o god_n come_v to_o give_v forth_o his_o promise_n when_o the_o fulfil_a time_n be_v come_v than_o god_n put_v his_o people_n upon_o wait_v for_o it_o so_o afterward_o when_o

its_o such_o a_o argument_n as_o carry_v much_o weight_n in_o it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v put_v on_o in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n to_o wait_v upon_o

to_o we_o yet_o they_o be_v in_o the_o father_n power_n and_o they_o be_v all_o know_v to_o he_o and_o when_o they_o draw_v nigh_o god_n do_v usual_o make_v that_o work_n to_o run_v over_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n and_o set_v they_o a_o pray_v and_o seek_v and_o believe_v and_o wait_v for_o that_o work_n and_o it_o may_v be_v they_o can_v hardly_o tell_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v so_o put_v upon_o it_o but_o it_o come_v from_o a_o secret_a way_n of_o god_n dispensation_n towards_o his_o child_n when_o god_n see_v that_o the_o work_n be_v ripe_a and_o the_o thing_n be_v hear_v at_o hand_n that_o it_o may_v come_v when_o his_o child_n be_v in_o a_o wait_a posture_n he_o will_v forerun_v it_o over_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n ere_o he_o bring_v it_o

look_v for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o promise_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o but_o the_o chief_a reason_n i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o three_o because_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n that_o the_o saint_n and_o peaple_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n day_n be_v to_o have_v their_o eye_n fix_v upon_o and_o be_v to_o be_v find_v wait_v upon_o god_n continual_o for_o the_o give_v of_o it_o forth_o it_o be_v that_o great_a promise_n the_o saint_n be_v to_o be_v look_v up_o to_o the_o father_n for_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n under_o the_o

and_o lead_a promise_n that_o stand_v out_o before_o all_o the_o other_o promise_n and_o that_o be_v the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o unto_o this_o promise_n all_o the_o type_n shadow_n ceremony_n and_o service_n of_o the_o law_n do_v look_v they_o run_v into_o this_o promise_n so_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v a_o great_a and_o lead_a promise_n also_o but_o this_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v no_o promise_n to_o they_o for_o it_o be_v accomplish_v christ_n have_v come_v and_o dye_v and_o be_v rise_v again_o and_o we_o look_v not_o for_o he_o to_o come_v and_o die_v any_o more_o to_o satisfy_v his_o father_n justice_n but_o now_o there_o be_v i_o say_v a_o great_a and_o lead_a

so_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v this_o as_o their_o great_a expectatior_fw-la o_o when_o will_v the_o spirit_n come_v when_o will_v the_o spirit_n come_v down_o more_o into_o

to_o a_o poor_a soul_n for_o the_o father_n and_o son_n to_o give_v themselves_o to_o a_o poor_a soul_n now_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n himself_o the_o

a_o new_a testament_n promise_n my_o my_n meaning_n be_v not_o that_o its_o a_o promise_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a unto_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n so_o as_o that_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o live_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n administration_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v not_o so_o conceive_v of_o the_o thing_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o spirit_n holy_a man_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n peter_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n with_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v it_o they_o have_v it_o in_o a_o way_n of_o promise_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o promise_n so_o peculiar_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n as_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v not_o this_o promise_n as_o well_o as_o we_o nay_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v that_o very_o same_o covenant_n in_o which_o this_o glorious_a promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v hold_v forth_o and_o give_v that_o we_o have_v the_o new_a covenant_n it_o run_v down_o even_o from_o adam_n as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o new_a covenant_n it_o run_v through_o all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a

therefore_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o to_o they_o but_o when_o i_o say_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o thus_o that_o its_o a_o promise_n that_o
do_v in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n relate_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n though_o it_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o have_v a_o fulfil_n even_o in_o old_a testament_n time_n yet_o it_o have_v in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n a_o fulfil_n to_o the_o saint_n in_o new_a testament_n time_n the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n or_o in_o the_o drop_n of_o it_o but_o now_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n they_o have_v the_o pour_v of_o it_o forth_o look_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o new_a testament_n time_n and_o the_o promise_n run_v to_o the_o pour_v it_o forth_o that_o be_v more_o abundance_n of_o it_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o they_o have_v not_o this_o promise_n as_o their_o

their_o great_a promise_n but_o now_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n they_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o their_o great_a promise_n they_o

i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v from_o two_o thing_n first_o all_z those_o several_a promise_n that_o we_o find_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o the_o more_o full_a give_v forth_o and_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o bless_a spirit_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o those_o time_n but_o to_o the_o new_a

this_o more_o especial_o relate_v why_o it_o do_v relate_v as_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o forego_n verse_n unto_o the_o time_n when_o god_n will_v gather_v together_o his_o

pour_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o look_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n second_o that_o this_o be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n do_v appear_v from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_n if_o you_o look_v into_o john_n 7.38_o 39_o he_o that_o beleive_v on_o i_o as_o the_o scripture_n have_v say_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n

second_o come_v in_o glory_n under_o that_o administration_n shall_v have_v its_o fulfil_n but_o now_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o come_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o promise_n that_o we_o

the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v speak_v so_o much_o of_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o in_o the_o new_a be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o look_v up_o to_o god_n for_o

may_v be_v something_o in_o this_o as_o one_o reason_n of_o it_o namely_o the_o way_n of_o god_n dispensation_n which_o have_v be_v and_o it_o be_v to_o put_v death_n be_v upon_o his_o promise_n not_o only_o before_o the_o fulfil_a time_n of_o a_o promise_n come_v but_o even_o when_o the_o fulfil_a time_n be_v come_v and_o in_o the_o fulfil_a time_n god_n will_v put_v a_o death_n upon_o his_o promise_n though_o abraham_n have_v a_o bless_a promise_n make_v to_o he_o by_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v seed_n and_o god_n tell_v he_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o bondage_n four_o hundred_o

canaan_n but_o before_o the_o fulfil_a time_n come_v there_o be_v first_o one_o death_n and_o another_o upon_o the_o promise_n first_o abraham_n be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a his_o body_n dead_a and_o yet_o without_o any_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o sarah_n be_v old_a and_o her_o womb_n dead_a before_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o after_o the_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v come_v forth_o abraham_n must_v go_v and_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n why_o what_o may_v abraham_n think_v will_v become_v of_o god_n promise_n isaac_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o must_v i_o go_v and_o offer_v he_o up_o where_o will_v god_n promise_v be_v here_o be_v a_o death_n upon_o a_o death_n upon_o it_o and_o after_o this_o isaac_n the_o son_n of_o the_o promise_n in_o who_o loin_n as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o promise_n run_v the_o promise_a seed_n be_v to_o come_v forth_o from_o he_o yet_o isaac_n after_o abraham_n have_v no_o seed_n a_o great_a while_n so_o that_o before_o the_o fulfil_a time_n of_o the_o promise_n come_v there_o be_v death_n upon_o death_n upon_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o the_o time_n be_v come_v for_o the_o fulfil_n it_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v now_o give_v forth_o that_o that_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o abraham_n and_o when_o he_o have_v send_v moses_n into_o egypt_n to_o bring_v israel_n out_o yet_o then_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o very_a fulfil_a time_n bring_v death_n upon_o it_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v raise_v up_o some_o measure_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o people_n of_o god_n expect_v deliverance_n yet_o the_o bondage_n grow_v so_o great_a that_o their_o heart_n grow_v dead_a as_o to_o hope_v and_o they_o think_v they_o be_v further_o off_o than_o ever_o before_o and_o afterward_o when_o they_o think_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o run_v to_o the_o land_n of_o ca●aan_n no_o but_o there_o be_v great_a death_n in_o the_o way_n they_o must_v go_v through_o a_o sea_n and_o through_o a_o wilderness_n and_o this_o not_o all_o but_o they_o must_v wander_v forty_o year_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o there_o the_o whole_a generation_n that_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n die_v what_o death_n be_v there_o upon_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o fulfil_a time_n so_o god_n make_v a_o promise_n to_o his_o people_n in_o jeremiah_n time_n that_o after_o 70_o year_n captivity_n in_o babylon_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o jerusalem_n again_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v build_v but_o when_o the_o fulfil_a time_n be_v come_v what_o death_n be_v put_v upon_o the_o promise_n so_o that_o for_o many_o year_n together_o the_o build_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n be_v hinder_v i_o do_v urge_v this_o notion_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o though_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n be_v the_o administration_n in_o which_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o wait_v for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o great_a promise_n yet_o in_o the_o fulfil_a time_n there_o may_v be_v very_o great_a death_n upon_o the_o promise_n and_o such_o as_o we_o may_v see_v very_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o and_o it_o may_v be_v for_o age_n and_o generation_n together_o as_o in_o some_o generation_n it_o have_v be_v but_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n may_v appear_v second_o because_o although_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o those_o time_n yet_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o premise_v may_v not_o be_v alike_o to_o all_o but_o may_v be_v especial_o make_v good_a to_o some_o period_n of_o that_o time_n the_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o great_a old_a testament_n promise_n that_o which_o saint_n all_o along_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n wait_v for_o but_o that_o be_v not_o fulfil_v till_o the_o last_o period_n of_o that_o time_n so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o this_o three_o another_o reason_n why_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n have_v so_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n though_o this_o be_v the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n it_o may_v be_v from_o saint_n darkness_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n saint_n go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o legality_n that_o be_v in_o and_o upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o new_a

the_o spirit_n to_o they_o in_o that_o full_a measure_n for_o god_n will_v give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n quest_n what_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a

receive_v all_o from_o god_n as_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a wretched_a nothing_o creature_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o very_a way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o which_o god_n do_v give_v forth_o new_a testament_n mercy_n to_o his_o child_n if_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o christ_n for_o justification_n the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o give_v forth_o this_o precious_a glorious_a privilege_n to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a wretched_a sinner_n a_o unworthy_a one_o and_o so_o if_o we_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n why_o it_o be_v to_o come_v to_o god_n as_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a miserable_a sinner_n without_o the_o spirit_n have_v no_o hope_n nor_o any_o thing_n in_o myself_o that_o i_o can_v ground_v hope_n upon_o why_o god_n shall_v give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n to_o i_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o come_v to_o god_n for_o all_o and_o to_o expect_v all_o from_o god_n as_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a sinner_n why_o now_o if_o saint_n be_v unacquainted_a with_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o may_v miss_v of_o the_o mercy_n be_v of_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o saint_n come_v to_o god_n for_o the_o spirit_n and_o bring_v somewhat_o of_o their_o own_o with_o they_o as_o if_o a_o man_n in_o come_v to_o god_n for_o justification_n will_v bring_v a_o

have_v nothing_o in_o himself_o expect_v all_o from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n so_o if_o i_o come_v to_o god_n for_o the_o spirit_n if_o i_o think_v to_o bring_v somewhat_o of_o my_o own_o to_o bring_v some_o good_a desire_n and_o some_o good_a breathe_n with_o i_o and_o thou_o say_v lord_n i_o be_o so_o and_o so_o i_o have_v such_o and_o such_o breathe_n therefore_o give_v i_o the_o

point_n why_o there_o be_v so_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o and_o this_o the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n it_o be_v because_o saint_n be_v no_o more_o in_o assemble_v together_o saint_n be_v not_o find_v as_o i_o may_v say_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o assemble_v together_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o disciple_n and_o apostle_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n do_v give_v they_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o immediate_o at_o his_o resurrection_n he_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n and_o breathe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o they_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o bear_v up_o their_o spirit_n against_o the_o sorrow_n that_o be_v to_o attend_v they_o afterward_o he_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n more_o

christ_n come_v and_o breathe_v on_o they_o say_v receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n where_o you_o have_v the_o more_o full_a give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v when_o the_o saint_n be_v assemble_v together_o act_n 2._o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o chapter_n here_o be_v the_o give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o more_o full_a measure_n to_o they_o and_o it_o be_v when_o they_o be_v all_o with_o one_o accord_n in_o one_o place_n when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o christ_n may_v have_v give_v it_o to_o they_o one_o by_o one_o when_o they_o be_v alone_o no_o but_o our_o dear_a lord_n choose_v to_o give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o that_o teach_v we_o how_o much_o he_o love_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o saint_n meeting_n together_o that_o though_o he_o can_v have_v give_v they_o the_o spirit_n to_o every_o one_o in_o a_o corner_n alone_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o he_o choose_v to_o give_v it_o to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o so_o that_o if_o the_o saint_n neglect_v their_o meeting_n together_o there_o may_v be_v little_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o spirit_n though_o it_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n three_o why_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o great_a promise_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n why_o do_v god_n give_v this_o as_o their_o great_a promise_n first_o one_o reason_n of_o it_o may_v be_v this_o because_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n will_v make_v a_o advance_v a_o step_n near_o as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o heavenly_a perfection_n and_o glory_n than_o the_o former_a administration_n be_v god_n all_o along_o have_v be_v make_v a_o advance_v ever_o since_o man_n fall_v god_n have_v be_v make_v a_o advance_v carry_v he_o up_o step_v by_o step_n now_o the_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v forth_o or_o the_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o any_o dispensation_n the_o great_a the_o advance_n be_v for_o its_o the_o spirit_n that_o make_v the_o advance_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n child_n now_o because_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n will_v make_v a_o advance_v he_o will_v raise_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o saint_n near_o to_o heaven_n and_o glory_n than_o they_o be_v before_o therefore_o he_o give_v forth_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o he_o do_v hold_v forth_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a promise_n and_o indeed_o in_o the_o administration_n that_o be_v to_o come_v upon_o this_o account_n in_o that_o of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v less_o but_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v less_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o advance_v there_o shall_v be_v the_o personal_a presence_n of_o christ_n and_o more_o of_o his_o spirit_n too_o if_o we_o do_v look_v upon_o it_o only_o as_o a_o outward_a thing_n than_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v as_o some_o call_v it_o a_o carnal_a thing_n but_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v forth_o in_o that_o day_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o advance_v in_o the_o saint_n upon_o this_o account_n second_o the_o lord_n give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n because_o new_a testament_n saint_n they_o be_v son_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o apostle_n paul_n give_v gal_n 4.6_o because_o you_o be_v son_n god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n the_o father_n expect_v from_o a_o son_n a_o grow_v son_n that_o he_o shall_v carry_v himself_o better_a than_o a_o child_n he_o do_v expect_v from_o his_o son_n that_o he_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o govern_v himself_o and_o to_o order_v thing_n better_o than_o a_o servant_n why_o now_o new_a testament_n saint_n be_v son_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v expect_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o better_a carriage_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o holiness_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o another_o manner_n of_o way_n than_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n now_o to_o the_o end_n that_o saint_n may_v be_v able_a to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o another_o manner_n of_o way_n its_o needful_a they_o shall_v have_v more_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n give_v forth_o to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v it_o god_n give_v forth_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n because_o you_o be_v son_n therefore_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n therefore_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n three_o because_o god_n do_v expect_v more_o work_n from_o new_a testament_n saint_n this_n follow_v we_o upon_o the_o
other_o as_o you_o be_v son_n there_o be_v more_o work_n expect_v god_n look_v for_o more_o duty_n and_o more_o obedience_n from_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o he_o do_v expect_v from_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o tire_v work_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o burdensome_a work_n o_o but_o if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o spiritual_a work_n as_o they_o come_v to_o high_a light_n so_o god_n look_v for_o high_a obedience_n therefore_o for_o moses_n his_o ten_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o have_v many_o spiritual_a precept_n in_o the_o new_a the_o new_a testament_n do_v not_o set_v we_o free_a from_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n but_o indeed_o the_o new_a testament_n call_v we_o to_o a_o more_o strict_a holiness_n and_o a_o more_o spiritual_a obedience_n you_o be_v call_v to_o a_o high_a pitch_n of_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o not_o free_v from_o it_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v his_o saint_n free_a from_o all_o that_o that_o be_v burdensome_a and_o that_o that_o be_v legal_a obedience_n under_o the_o old_a covenant_n but_o they_o be_v not_o free_a from_o obedience_n indeed_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o be_v call_v to_o a_o high_a pitch_n of_o obedience_n as_o one_o that_o be_v a_o son_n grow_v the_o father_n do_v not_o lay_v such_o law_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o a_o little_a child_n you_o must_v not_o meddle_v with_o this_o nor_o do_v that_o nor_o go_v out_o of_o the_o door_n nor_o run_v in_o
