shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o we_o may_v learn_v also_o hence_o that_o in_o order_n to_o have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v to_o assist_v we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o deliverer_n we_o must_v be_v the_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a jacob_n and_o israel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v imitate_v the_o

though_o we_o be_v not_o their_o posterity_n after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o we_o be_v their_o spiritual_a posterity_n if_o we_o imitate_v their_o faith_n and_o piety_n examine_v yourselves_o therefore_o by_o this_o rule_n that_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o can_v claim_v a_o title_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o his_o deliverance_n and_o salvation_n if_o you_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o patriarch_n if_o you_o have_v their_o faith_n and_o piety_n if_o you_o do_v their_o work_n you_o be_v their_o child_n and_o god_n will_v bless_v you_o as_o he_o do_v they_o he_o will_v deliver_v you_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o enemy_n he_o will_v load_v you_o with_o his_o favour_n and_o benefit_n and_o will_v one_o day_n make_v you_o partaker_n of_o a_o bless_a immortality_n but_o if_o you_o imitate_v not_o their_o example_n you_o be_v not_o their_o child_n and_o have_v no_o share_n in_o the_o promise_v god_n make_v to_o they_o abraham_n when_o god_n command_v he_o to_o leave_v his_o country_n and_o part_n with_o his_o relation_n present_o comply_v with_o the_o will_n of_o his_o god_n though_o he_o know_v not_o where_o he_o be_v to_o go_v and_o again_o when_o god_n command_v he_o to_o sacrifice_n isaac_n his_o belove_a son_n he_o prepare_v himself_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n to_o execute_v this_o dreadful_a command_n have_v this_o confidence_n in_o god_n that_o he_o can_v even_o restore_v his_o son_n to_o he_o again_o by_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o in_o effect_n the_o apostle_n take_v notice_n that_o he_o be_v indeed_o restore_v to_o he_o again_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o resurrection_n so_o isaac_n himself_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o god_n and_o put_v himself_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o die_v as_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o jacob_n be_v content_v to_o deprive_v himself_o of_o the_o food_n that_o perish_v in_o order_n to_o obtain_v the_o celestial_a and_o eternal_a inheritance_n and_o afterward_o he_o leave_v his_o father_n house_n that_o he_o may_v avoid_v the_o violence_n of_o his_o brother_n esau_n who_o design_v to_o have_v kill_v he_o and_o so_o likewise_o all_o the_o patriarch_n do_v always_o glorify_v god_n by_o their_o zeal_n by_o their_o piety_n and_o by_o a_o pure_a holy_a and_o unblameable_a life_n god_n set_v we_o these_o example_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v square_v our_o life_n by_o they_o if_o we_o will_v be_v the_o mystical_a posterity_n of_o these_o holy_a man_n and_o will_v have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o they_o now_o when_o god_n suffer_v his_o church_n to_o be_v persecute_v he_o call_v upon_o we_o to_o leave_v our_o country_n and_o our_o friend_n to_o forsake_v our_o good_n and_o renounce_v our_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n to_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o our_o child_n and_o even_o to_o expose_v our_o life_n for_o his_o glory_n and_o service_n therefore_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o obtain_v his_o blessing_n his_o deliverance_n and_o salvation_n we_o must_v submit_v to_o his_o will_n as_o the_o patriarch_n do_v of_o old_a we_o must_v also_o glorify_v he_o by_o a_o holy_a life_n by_o our_o justice_n our_o zeal_n our_o charity_n and_o piety_n we_o must_v cause_v our_o light_n to_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o see_v our_o good_a work_n may_v together_o with_o we_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n otherwise_o we_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v treat_v not_o as_o his_o child_n but_o as_o bastard_n and_o unbeliever_n what_o can_v you_o expect_v then_o you_o miserable_a

and_o fraud_n you_o follow_v the_o multitude_n that_o be_v run_v in_o the_o broad_a way_n to_o hell_n therefore_o if_o you_o repent_v not_o you_o must_v expert_a to_o perish_v with_o this_o

you_o be_v not_o neither_o the_o child_n of_o the_o patriarch_n since_o you_o imitate_v not_o their_o zeal_n and_o piety_n and_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o lose_v and_o suffer_v all_o thing_n as_o they_o

have_v for_o a_o great_a while_n continue_v to_o send_v his_o faithful_a servant_n to_o you_o to_o bring_v you_o back_o to_o your_o god_n and_o a_o great_a many_o of_o they_o have_v already_o suffer_v
