thing_n of_o the_o world_n those_o man_n that_o have_v the_o dull_a capacity_n to_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o ignorant_a people_n in_o the_o world_n why_o jesus_n christ_n choose_v out_o they_o and_o make_v they_o to_o be_v apprehensive_a of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n such_o thing_n as_o angel_n themselves_o desire_v to_o pry_v into_o 1.12_o 1_o pet._n 1.12_o here_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o such_o poor_a weak_a dull_a ignorant_a creature_n sometime_o that_o can_v scarce_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v two_o or_o three_o sentence_n in_o good_a sense_n together_o to_o a_o man_n yet_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o clear_a understanding_n of_o the_o chief_a mystery_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o angel_n desire_v to_o pry_v into_o here_o be_v a_o wonderful_a work_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v in_o matth._n 21.15_o when_o the_o poor_a child_n come_v to_o understand_v somewhat_o of_o christ_n when_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o scribe_n see_v the_o wondeful_a thing_n that_o he_o do_v and_o the_o child_n cry_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o say_n hosanna_n to_o the_o son_n of_o david_n ☞_o ☞_o they_o be_v sore_o displease_v mark_v how_o this_o be_v join_v to_o the_o wonderful_a thing_n they_o see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o christ_n do_v and_o the_o child_n cry_v in_o the_o temple_n hosanna_n to_o the_o son_n of_o david_n they_o be_v displease_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o wonderful_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o see_v that_o sometime_o poor_a young_a child_n and_o such_o as_o understand_v but_o very_o little_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o that_o these_o shall_v come_v to_o understand_v the_o deep_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n those_o thing_n that_o exercise_v the_o understanding_n of_o angel_n and_o shall_v exercise_v they_o to_o all_o eternity_n yet_o poor_a child_n and_o youth_n shall_v come_v to_o understand_v these_o thing_n further_o than_o the_o great_a rabbi_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o this_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o christ_n you_o make_v this_o use_n when_o you_o see_v poor_a youth_n come_v to_o have_v understanding_n in_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o think_v sure_o it_o be_v but_o a_o conceit_n oh_o but_o rather_o make_v this_o use_n let_v your_o thought_n be_v carry_v to_o admire_v at_o the_o wonderful_a dispensation_n of_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o in_o matth._n 11.25_o 27._o you_o shall_v see_v what_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n it_o be_v make_v even_o this_o dispensation_n of_o christ_n prophetical_a office_n in_o vers_fw-la 25._o and_o so_o on_o at_o that_o time_n jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v i_o thank_v thou_o 0_o father_n lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n because_o thou_o have_v hide_v these_o thing_n from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o have_v reveal_v they_o unto_o babe_n now_o that_o the_o father_n do_v hide_v they_o from_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o world_n and_o reveal_v they_o unto_o babe_n it_o be_v by_o christ_n though_o he_o thank_v the_o father_n and_o that_o it_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n it_o appear_v in_o vers_fw-la 27._o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o of_o my_o father_n and_o no_o man_n know_v the_o son_n but_o the_o father_n neither_o know_v any_o man_n the_o father_n save_o the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o who_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o so_o that_o christ_n here_o make_v the_o revelation_n of_o god_n unto_o babe_n to_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n deliver_v up_o all_o thing_n to_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o and_o no_o man_n know_v the_o father_n but_o the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o who_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o so_o that_o christ_n have_v receive_v all_o power_n from_o the_o father_n upon_o this_o it_o be_v that_o these_o babe_n come_v to_o have_v such_o understanding_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o world_n never_o come_v to_o understand_v and_o then_o that_o be_v very_o remarkable_a as_o we_o go_v along_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n jesus_n christ_n do_v invite_v soul_n to_o come_v to_o he_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o rest_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thus_o conceive_v now_o as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v preach_v now_o personal_o to_o you_o and_o he_o be_v say_v thus_o to_o you_o all_o power_n be_v commit_v to_o i_o by_o the_o father_n and_o as_o a_o fruit_n of_o this_o that_o the_o father_n have_v commit_v to_o i_o i_o do_v reveal_v he_o to_o who_o i_o please_v and_o none_o can_v know_v the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o i_o have_v the_o dispensation_n of_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o revelation_n of_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o eternal_a life_n from_o my_o father_n oh_o therefore_o come_v to_o i_o come_v to_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v you_o labour_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o your_o ignorance_n perhaps_o you_o complain_v alas_o i_o do_v not_o know_v god_n nor_o understand_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n i_o pray_v and_o hear_v and_o yet_o i_o can_v come_v to_o understand_v what_o god_n be_v why_o come_v to_o i_o say_v christ_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o i_o and_o if_o i_o reveal_v the_o father_n you_o shall_v know_v he_o therefore_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v all_o you_o that_o see_v the_o need_n you_o have_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o my_o father_n and_o of_o the_o way_n of_o eternal_a life_n come_v to_o i_o and_o i_o will_v reveal_v these_o thing_n unto_o you_o and_o so_o will_v bring_v rest_n unto_o your_o soul_n wonderful_n be_v christ_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o administration_n and_o that_o be_v another_o consideration_n in_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o christ_n 5_o but_o further_o christ_n be_v a_o wonderful_a prophet_n in_o this_o that_o he_o reveal_v thing_n many_o time_n sudden_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o those_o way_n that_o any_o man_n or_o angel_n be_v bind_v to_o if_o a_o man_n or_o angel_n will_v come_v to_o instruct_v other_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o must_v instruct_v they_o by_o degree_n to_o understand_v one_o thing_n at_o once_o and_o another_o at_o another_o time_n and_o so_o deduct_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o in_o that_o way_n but_o christ_n he_o can_v make_v know_v the_o thing_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o a_o instant_n to_o the_o soul_n whosoever_o come_v to_o christ_n must_v be_v convince_v of_o sin_n and_o be_v empty_v of_o himself_o and_o be_v humble_v all_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o every_o soul_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n now_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v by_o one_o beam_n of_o light_n be_v wrought_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v let_v into_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o

that_o the_o sinner_n may_v be_v prepare_v to_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o wonderful_a glory_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o god_n
