the_o world_n time_n be_v when_o they_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o light_n and_o when_o palestine_n or_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v the_o only_a goshan_n on_o which_o god_n cause_v the_o

of_o thunder_n when_o the_o son_n of_o jacob_n desire_v the_o lord_n may_v not_o speak_v unto_o they_o but_o by_o his_o servant_n moses_n no_o this_o be_v mount_n zion_n the_o mount_n of_o olive_n the_o mount_n of_o peace_n when_o moses_n have_v be_v awhile_o with_o god_n in_o the_o mount_n his_o face_n have_v so_o great_a a_o lustre_n that_o the_o israelite_n be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v

into_o the_o mount_n begin_v to_o preach_v and_o bless_v the_o people_n his_o lip_n begin_v then_o to_o melt_v and_o drop_n sweetness_n to_o let_v fall_v blessing_n on_o the_o people_n whence_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o they_o only_o be_v fit_a to_o preach_v who_o have_v see_v god_n in_o the_o mount_n who_o have_v have_v some_o rapture_n and_o ecstasy_n of_o spirit_n who_o have_v have_v their_o heart_n elevate_v and_o lift_v up_o to_o god_n who_o affection_n have_v take_v flight_n beyond_o the_o region_n of_o earthly_a enjoyment_n and_o have_v some_o experience_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o spirit_n then_o they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o speak_v feel_o than_o they_o will_v speak_v experimental_o and_o say_v not_o the_o thing_n we_o have_v hear_v that_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o fame_n but_o what_o we_o have_v see_v and_o handle_v of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n declare_v we_o unto_o you_o then_o they_o will_v be_v able_a with_o our_o saviour_n to_o say_v bless_a be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o we_o be_v at_o length_n arrive_v at_o the_o subject_n of_o our_o
