A60972	Davvnings of light wherein the true interest of reformation is opened in generall, and in particular, in this kingdome for the establishment of weaker judgements, and many other things impartially hinted, to a further discovery of truth and light in many of our present controversies : with some maximes of reformation / by John Saltmarsh ...

reformation_n have_v in_o this_o age_n of_o we_o even_o that_o visible_a interest_n which_o be_v undeniable_a and_o apparent_a but_o yet_o with_o this_o caution_n that_o i_o do_v not_o lay_v these_o open_a as_o affirm_v any_o unquestionable_a necessary_a success_n but_o as_o probable_a and_o deducible_a a_o success_n as_o ever_o age_n have_v because_o i_o know_v there_o may_v be_v withdraw_n and_o retire_n in_o god_n respective_o to_o a_o particular_a state_n and_o church_n and_o yet_o his_o church_n have_v a_o fair_a and_o eminent_a interest_n both_o there_o and_o elsewhere_o in_o other_o state_n and_o kingdom_n for_o as_o a_o nation_n be_v not_o dead_a in_o the_o funeral_n of_o a_o few_o person_n nor_o a_o house_n ruin_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o a_o pillar_n or_o tile_n no_o more_o be_v the_o church_n which_o be_v a_o catholic_a invisible_a spiritual_a body_n by_o any_o particular_a declination_n in_o such_o a_o city_n or_o state_n or_o nation_n though_o i_o must_v affirm_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o most_o clear_a visible_a powerful_a and_o mighty_a interest_n which_o reformation_n have_v in_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o this_o kingdom_n at_o this_o time_n and_o if_o it_o succeed_v not_o here_o i_o can_v accuse_v no_o want_n of_o supernatural_a natural_a or_o political_a interest_n for_o we_o be_v able_a enough_o in_o these_o but_o i_o must_v accuse_v some_o special_a sin_n that_o have_v do_v it_o 59.2_o which_o have_v separ●ted_v betwixt_o we_o and_o our_o god_n and_o have_v withhold_v good_a thing_n from_o we_o and_o make_v our_o god_n

though_o god_n cause_v the_o interest_n to_o beam_n forth_o into_o the_o thing_n below_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n like_o light_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n god_n do_v so_o dispense_v himself_o into_o christ_n that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o god_n stowe_n beside_o he_o but_o all_o in_o he_o and_o through_o he_o all_o thing_n that_o the_o father_n have_v be_v i_o for_o

in_o these_o expression_n the_o spirit_n let_v we_o see_v how_o god_n make_v himself_o over_o to_o christ_n and_o further_o 18._o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n he_o be_v

the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n 3._o and_o of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o ●hrist_n in_o who_o be_v hide_v all_o the_o treasure_n but_o if_o we_o will_v see_v a_o further_a glimpse_n of_o this_o interest_n sweet_o open_v by_o christ_n himself_o let_v we_o heighten_v our_o meditation_n upon_o these_o scripture_n where_o christ_n discourse_v with_o his_o father_n imply_v the_o spiritual_a interest_n all_o the_o way_n all_o i_o be_v thou_o 17.10_o and_o thou_o be_v i_o and_o i_o be_o glorify_v in_o the●_z and_o as_o thou_o father_n be_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o that_o they_o also_o may_v be_v one_o in_o we_o 21_o and_o the_o glory_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o i_o have_v give_v they_o 23_o i_o in_o they_o and_o thou_o in_o i_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v
