god_n now_o in_o christ_n christ._n for_o there_o be_v enmity_n between_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n of_o sinful_a man_n but_o that_o christ_n have_v take_v our_o

we_o must_v go_v to_o god_n in_o that_o emanuel_n in_o christ_n that_o ladder_n that_o join_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o see_v god_n face_n shine_v in_o christ_n his_o gracious_a face_n and_o this_o will_v encourage_v we_o to_o go_v to_o god_n together_o with_o our_o want_n go_v not_o to_o absolute_a god_n a_o god_n without_o a_o mediator_n for_o then_o god_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n in_o the_o next_o place_n when_o we_o go_v to_o god_n and_o seek_v to_o god_n be_v sure_a to_o seek_v his_o favour_n and_o first_o grace_n in_o the_o first_o place_n if_o we_o want_v any_o particular_a thing_n protection_n or_o direction_n or_o comfort_n in_o distress_n go_v not_o for_o that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n but_o let_v we_o see_v in_o what_o term_n god_n and_o we_o be_v let_v we_o be_v sure_o that_o reconciliation_n and_o peace_n be_v make_v for_o if_o we_o seek_v to_o god_n in_o our_o particular_a want_n and_o have_v not_o make_v our_o peace_n before_o but_o have_v seek_v to_o

you_o have_v trust_v unto_o go_v to_o your_o shift_n therefore_o first_o make_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n before_o you_o seek_v other_o thing_n if_o a_o man_n have_v offend_v a_o great_a person_n he_o do_v not_o go_v and_o seek_v particular_a favour_n till_o first_o he_o have_v make_v peace_n and_o take_v up_o the_o quarrel_n let_v we_o take_v up_o the_o quarrel_n between_o

you_o particular_a favour_n if_o they_o be_v not_o from_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n what_o will_v they_o do_v we_o good_a what_o will_v all_o that_o a_o reprobate_a wretch_n have_v do_v he_o good_a what_o will_v his_o favour_n his_o riches_n and_o honour_n and_o preferment_n do_v he_o good_a when_o he_o die_v when_o he_o shall_v conflict_n with_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n when_o he_o shall_v see_v hell_n before_o he_o and_o see_v heaven_n shut_v he_o see_v he_o have_v all_o from_o a_o general_a providence_n and_o as_o a_o reward_n for_o his_o care_n in_o this_o world_n god_n answer_v he_o

as_o the_o exigence_n be_v for_o in_o god_n there_o be_v a_o supply_n for_o all_o turn_n and_o that_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o seek_v for_o our_o seek_n it_o must_v be_v a_o wise_a seek_n now_o it_o

child_n have_v but_o to_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o that_o there_o must_v on_o our_o part_n be_v this_o answer_n the_o reason_n be_v partly_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o covenant_n covenant_n there_o must_v be_v consent_n on_o both_o side_n or_o else_o the_o covenant_n can_v hold_v there_o be_v indenture_n draw_v between_o god_n and_o we_o god_n promise_v all_o good_a if_o we_o

there_o be_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n then_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o covenant_n there_o must_v be_v this_o answer_n the_o second_o reason_n that_o there_o must_v be_v somewhat_o in_o we_o be_v because_o when_o two_o agree_v there_o disposition_n must_v be_v a_o like_a disposition_n now_o there_o must_v be_v a_o sanctify_a of_o our_o nature_n from_o whence_o this_o bless_a answer_n come_v before_o that_o god_n and_o we_o can_v agree_v there_o must_v be_v a_o correspondency_n of_o disposition_n of_o necessity_n this_o must_v be_v for_o we_o enter_v into_o term_n of_o friendship_n with_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o friend_n must_v have_v the_o same_o mind_n there_o must_v be_v a_o answer_v now_o this_o answer_n be_v especial_o faith_n when_o we_o believe_v and_o from_o faith_n sanctify_a obedience_n that_o be_v call_v the_o resti_fw-la pulation_n or_o engagement_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o
