rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o that_o moment_n he_o can_v leave_v it_o he_o go_v over_o and_o over_o with_o it_o do_v not_o think_v i_o be_o mistake_v when_o i_o bid_v you_o rejoice_v because_o happy_o your_o condition_n may_v be_v afflict_v other_o way_n again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v i_o be_o still_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n the_o lord_n jesus_n rejoice_v over_o you_o as_o sad_a thought_n as_o you_o have_v concern_v yourselves_o he_o rejoice_v over_o you_o he_o be_v glad_a to_o communicate_v his_o love_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o rejoice_v then_o in_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o can_v the_o child_n of_o the_o bride-chamber_n mourn_v while_o the_o bridegroom_n be_v with_o they_o say_v our_o saviour_n it_o be_v not_o suitable_a to_o their_o condition_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o than_o they_o shall_v mourn_v i_o deny_v not_o brethren_n but_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v withdraw_v himself_o we_o shall_v lament_v after_o he_o and_o seek_v he_o sorrow_v as_o mary_v the_o mother_n of_o jesus_n do_v and_o the_o 48._o more_o love_n we_o have_v receive_v if_o we_o grieve_v he_o this_o will_v be_v the_o more_o grief_n of_o heart_n but_o if_o you_o that_o have_v his_o presence_n in_o a_o sweet_a manner_n and_o yet_o hang_v the_o head_n and_o droop_v as_o if_o our_o join_n to_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v the_o undo_n of_o our_o soul_n so_o pensive_o and_o sad_o we_o many_o of_o we_o walk_v that_o indeed_o we_o be_v a_o shame_n and_o dishonour_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n if_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o virgin_n espouse_v to_o a_o man_n and_o shall_v from_o that_o day_n forward_o never_o hold_v up_o her_o head_n but_o walk_v heavy_o what_o will_v you_o think_v sure_o she_o apprehend_v she_o have_v make_v a_o ill_a choice_n her_o expectation_n be_v frustrate_v therefore_o brethren_n look_v to_o it_o that_o we_o rejoice_v if_o the_o child_n of_o the_o bride-chamd_a can_v mourn_v but_o rejoice_v to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o bridegroom_n much_o more_o than_o the_o bride_n the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o prosperity_n of_o thy_o soul_n and_o why_o shall_v not_o thou_o 37●_n ●ake_v pleasure_n in_o the_o prosperity_n of_o thy_o own_o soul_n be_v make_v one_o with_o jesus_n christ_n 5._o look_v to_o it_o that_o you_o be_v faithful_a to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o a_o bride_n when_o once_o espouse_v if_o she_o turn_v aside_o to_o another_o it_o be_v death_n they_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o in_o a_o marry_a state_n and_o condition_n indeed_o the_o truth_n be_v when_o the_o lord_n have_v true_o espouse_v his_o soul_n to_o himself_o he_o have_v do_v it_o in_o faithfulness_n and_o make_v the_o soul_n faithful_a to_o he_o that_o in_o the_o great_a article_n of_o the_o covenant_n they_o 17._o never_o deal_v false_o with_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o choose_v not_o another_o saviour_n another_o lord_n under_o who_o dominion_n to_o put_v themselves_o constant_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v sometime_o to_o jesus_n christ_n even_o in_o his_o own_o people_n if_o that_o once_o it_o come_v to_o this_o that_o we_o embrace_v sin_n and_o consent_n to_o it_o and_o take_v any_o delight_n in_o it_o this_o be_v to_o play_v the_o harlot_n with_o jesus_n christ_n o_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o brethren_n indeed_o the_o heart_n be_v all_o that_o he_o look_v at_o how_o we_o stand_v affect_v to_o those_o evil_n which_o yet_o remain_v if_o paul_n have_v a_o body_n of_o death_n yet_o he_o delight_v not_o in_o it_o but_o groan_n be_v burtheve_v this_o he_o account_v not_o unfaithfulness_n but_o when_o a_o man_n heart_n begin_v to_o sit_v loose_a from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o be_v almost_o indifferent_a he_o can_v sometime_o in_o a_o fit_a of_o wretched_a carnality_n be_v content_a to_o have_v another_o lord_n to_o rule_v over_o he_o to_o be_v free_a from_o christ_n o_o this_o the_o lord_n look_v at_o and_o he_o will_v search_v out_o this_o will_v move_v he_o to_o jealousy_n therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o a_o woman_n may_v do_v as_o much_o service_n and_o seem_o as_o ready_o to_o her_o husband_n as_o before_o but_o yet_o her_o heart_n be_v go_v and_o she_o can_v be_v content_v to_o be_v loose_a this_o be_v heart-adultery_n this_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o we_o brethren_n look_n at_o as_o such_o if_o we_o serve_v he_o and_o do_v duty_n but_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o we_o can_v even_o be_v content_v to_o be_v at_o liberty_n it_o be_v not_o right_a take_v heed_n of_o provoke_v the_o lord_n jesus_n lest_o it_o prove_v in_o the_o end_n that_o he_o never_o know_v we_o indeed_o labour_v to_o be_v faithful_a then_o in_o this_o in_o the_o main_a again_o in_o manage_v all_o he_o put_v into_o our_o hand_n be_v faithful_a the_o heart_n of_o her_o husband_n do_v safe_o trust_v in_o she_o it_o be_v the_o commendation_n of_o a_o woman_n of_o a_o thousand_o in_o the_o proverb_n she_o will_v be_v
