the_o soul_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v fit_v it_o shall_v be_v set_v on_o the_o excellent_a duty_n man_n be_v in_o such_o a_o excellent_a condition_n be_v heir_n of_o heaven_n and_o have_v a_o understand_a soul_n it_o be_v fit_a the_o most_o excellent_a part_n of_o the_o most_o excellent_a creature_n shall_v be_v set_v upon_o the_o most_o excellent_a

time_n to_o meditate_v and_o think_v of_o these_o thing_n what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o the_o misery_n we_o be_v expose_v to_o by_o sin_n that_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v more_o than_o hell_n be_v more_o than_o we_o deserve_v and_o then_o withal_o think_v what_o we_o be_v advance_v to_o in_o christ_n what_o we_o be_v free_v from_o that_o curse_a condition_n and_o what_o we_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n and_o all_o that_o we_o fear_v for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v think_v of_o what_o we_o be_v free_v from_o and_o what_o we_o be_v advance_v to_o and_o by_o who_o by_o god_n become_v man_n a_o mystery_n that_o may_v nay_o that_o do_v ravish_v the_o very_a angel_n themselves_o god-man_n now_o in_o heaven_n make_v good_a what_o he_o do_v on_o earth_n by_o his_o intercession_n and_o then_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o infinite_a love_n and_o mercy_n and_o bounty_n of_o god_n to_o poor_a distress_a man_n the_o thought_n of_o these_o thing_n will_v inflame_v the_o heart_n now_o they_o never_o work_v upon_o the_o heart_n thorough_o till_o they_o end_v in_o admiration_n and_o indeed_o the_o scripture_n set_v it_o down_o in_o term_n of_o admiration_n so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n so_o how_o so_o as_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o i_o can_v express_v it_o and_o what_o love_n have_v god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o

unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a so_o that_o the_o mystery_n be_v wonderful_a and_o the_o dignity_n wonderful_a and_o the_o fruit_n the_o comfort_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_v wonderful_a every_o thing_n be_v a_o object_n of_o admiration_n therefore_o when_o we_o think_v and_o meditate_v of_o these_o thing_n let_v we_o never_o end_v till_o our_o soul_n be_v wind_v up_o to_o admiration_n of_o the_o excellent_a love_n of_o god_n we_o wonder_v at_o thing_n that_o be_v new_a and_o rare_a and_o great_a be_v there_o any_o thing_n more_o new_a and_o rare_a then_o that_o that_o never_o be_v the_o like_a for_o god_n to_o become_v man_n be_v there_o any_o thing_n more_o excellent_a than_o the_o benefit_n we_o have_v by_o christ_n become_v man_n to_o free_v we_o from_o so_o great_a misery_n and_o to_o advance_v we_o to_o so_o great_a happiness_n if_o any_o thing_n be_v a_o object_n of_o admiration_n sure_o it_o must_v be_v this_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v well_o to_o give_v all_o the_o dimension_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n height_n and_o breadth_n and_o depth_n and_o length_n it_o be_v a_o love_n pass_v knowledge_n eph._n 3._o 3_o what_o good_a will_v come_v by_o this_o question_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o exercise_v answer_n than_o it_o will_v be_v fit_a to_o glorify_v god_n meditation_n when_o it_o be_v in_o this_o frame_n it_o will_v think_v itself_o too_o good_a for_o any_o base_a service_n of_o sin_n eagle_n will_v not_o catch_v at_o fly_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v lift_v up_o to_o consider_v god_n love_n and_o mercy_n in_o christ_n will_v it_o

every_o day_n with_o this_o meditation_n to_o think_v what_o we_o be_v what_o we_o be_v now_o in_o christ_n what_o we_o shall_v be_v and_o by_o what_o glorious_a mean_v all_o this_o be_v wrought_v that_o so_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v warm_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n this_o frame_n of_o spirit_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o soul_n to_o sin_n to_o stoop_v to_o base_a sinful_a lust_n revelation_n now_o to_o help_v this_o in_o the_o next_o place_n beg_v of_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n to_o discover_v to_o we_o these_o thing_n in_o their_o own_o proper_a light_n for_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v now_o the_o spirit_n know_v the_o breast_n of_o god_n what_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o he_o know_v our_o heart_n too_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n desire_v of_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n to_o discover_v these_o thing_n to_o we_o not_o only_o that_o they_o be_v truth_n but_o that_o they_o be_v truth_n to_o we_o for_o unless_o we_o know_v these_o thing_n belong_v to_o we_o in_o particular_a we_o can_v glorify_v god_n as_o we_o shall_v they_o be_v in_o themselves_o glorious_a thing_n to_o hear_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n of_o god_n become_v man_n to_o hear_v of_o kingdom_n and_o crown_n oh_o but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o appropriation_n to_o make_v

here_o glory_n to_o god_n on_o high_a therefore_o beg_v the_o spirit_n to_o reveal_v to_o we_o our_o part_n and_o portion_n that_o he_o will_v show_v his_o face_n to_o we_o that_o he_o be_v to_o we_o a_o father_n in_o christ_n sure_o in_o hear_v meditation_n and_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n we_o shall_v find_v a_o secret_a whisper_n and_o report_n from_o heaven_n that_o god_n be_v our_o saviour_n and_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v especial_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o most_o need_n of_o this_o comfort_n let_v we_o therefore_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o veil_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n and_o open_o to_o reveal_v his_o fatherly_a bowel_n and_o tender_a mercy_n to_o we_o in_o christ_n to_o discover_v to_o we_o in_o particular_a more_o and_o more_o our_o interest_n in_o the_o same_o by_o his_o spirit_n that_o only_o know_v the_o secret_a of_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v above_o our_o heart_n can_v settle_v our_o doubt_n only_o the_o spirit_n can_v do_v it_o for_o as_o god_n only_o work_v salvation_n so_o the_o spirit_n only_o can_v seal_v to_o our_o soul_n our_o salvation_n this_o be_v one_o excellent_a way_n to_o help_v we_o to_o glorify_v god_n and_o add_v

of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o pitch_n of_o our_o desire_n to_o glorify_v god_n therefore_o we_o desire_v god_n to_o reveal_v himself_o so_o far_o to_o we_o to_o be_v our_o father_n in_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v glorify_v he_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o forcible_a plea_n god_n will_v do_v that_o that_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o end_n he_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o glory_n especial_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n in_o christ_n be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o rich_a mercy_n and_o we_o desire_v the_o sense_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o love_n for_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o glorify_v god_n it_o be_v a_o prevail_a argument_n fetch_v from_o god_n own_o end_n and_o let_v we_o labour_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o else_o to_o see_v the_o vanity_n
