therefore_o we_o leave_v the_o hypothesis_n and_o come_v to_o make_v application_n of_o it_o to_o ourselves_o 1._o first_o we_o may_v learn_v here_o that_o till_o christ_n himself_o discover_v

when_o he_o teach_v he_o do_v it_o by_o word_n not_o by_o crucifix_n not_o by_o sight_n we_o lose_v our_o salvation_n and_o all_o our_o happiness_n by_o the_o hear_n ear_n and_o we_o must_v come_v

of_o god_n grace_n to_o answer_v relation_n therefore_o i_o will_v prescribe_v some_o rule_n how_o we_o may_v say_v god_n be_v our_o god_n with_o comfort_n that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o comfort_n

i_o can_v do_v be_v but_o reflection_n thou_o must_v shine_v on_o i_o first_o so_o desire_v god_n to_o reveal_v himself_o more_o and_o more_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o then_o we_o can_v but_o carry_v ourselves_o to_o he_o as_o we_o shall_v do_v in_o our_o relation_n this_o day_n we_o must_v perform_v the_o relation_n on_o our_o side_n there_o be_v two_o word_n that_o go_v to_o this_o

according_a to_o his_o promise_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o love_v he_o and_o to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o our_o heart_n to_o do_v what_o be_v good_a and_o circumcise_v our_o heart_n and_o give_v his_o

thou_o have_v not_o only_o promise_v grace_n and_o gift_n but_o the_o grace_n to_o perform_v the_o covenant_n on_o our_o part_n must_v come_v from_o thou_o and_o this_o god_n will_v do_v therefore_o in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n attend_v upon_o he_o and_o look_v to_o he_o we_o shall_v have_v grace_n to_o do_v our_o part_n and_o then_o maintain_v this_o assurance_n without_o which_o we_o can_v

that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o christ_n to_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o faith_n and_o in_o all_o grace_n a_o gracious_a christian_n never_o want_v

way_n the_o sun_n be_v not_o coequal_a with_o the_o father_n but_o christ_n be_v with_o his_o father_n again_o the_o son_n in_o other_o generation_n come_v of_o the_o father_n and_o be_v like_o the_o father_n take_v out_o of_o his_o substance_n but_o of_o a_o different_a substance_n from_o the_o father_n but_o christ_n and_o the_o father_n both_o the_o person_n be_v in_o one_o substance_n in_o one_o essence_n the_o essence_n of_o the_o father_n differ_v not_o from_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o son_n we_o must_v remember_v this_o to_o give_v christ_n the_o prerogative_n and_o preeminency_n that_o god_n be_v his_o father_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o we_o he_o be_v his_o father_n by_o nature_n we_o by_o adoption_n what_o he_o be_v by_o nature_n we_o be_v by_o grace_n though_o christ_n be_v intent_n upon_o his_o ascension_n yet_o he_o forget_v not_o this_o grand_a differrnce_n here_o but_o mention_v it_o go_v to_o my_o brethren_n we_o must_v not_o call_v he_o brother_n again_o we_o may_v think_v of_o he_o as_o our_o brother_n but_o my_o god_n and_o my_o lord_n as_o thomas_n say_v 28_o if_o the_o great_a person_n shall_v call_v we_o brother_n yet_o it_o be_v most_o behoveful_a for_o the_o inferior_a to_o say_v my_o god_n my_o lord_n to_o acknowledge_v christ_n as_o a_o great_a person_n and_o to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o love_n to_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n not_o to_o diminish_v our_o respect_n to_o he_o in_o any_o way_n it_o be_v his_o infinite_a mercy_n to_o term_v we_o brethren_n but_o when_o we_o go_v to_o he_o we_o must_v have_v other_o term_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o to_o conceive_v of_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n when_o he_o have_v triumph_v over_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o reconcile_v god_n by_o his_o death_n than_o i_o go_v to_o my_o father_n and_o your_o father_n then_o he_o be_v a_o common_a father_n by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n to_o divine_a wrath_n and_o justice_n and_o victory_n and_o triumph_v over_o all_o his_o enemy_n so_o we_o must_v not_o conceive_v of_o god_n as_o our_o father_n but_o in_o reference_n to_o christ_n victory_n over_o death_n god_n be_v our_o
