thankful_a be_v he_o how_o be_v he_o affect_v how_o will_v a_o man_n be_v affect_v in_o such_o a_o case_n so_o i_o say_v that_o be_v our_o condition_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o look_v for_o nothing_o but_o death_n thereupon_o come_v the_o gospel_n that_o come_v and_o offer_v life_n that_o overcome_v with_o kindness_n as_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n come_v and_o tell_v we_o well_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o you_o shall_v be_v receive_v to_o mercy_n go_v take_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o i_o say_v this_o will_v move_v a_o ingenious_a disposition_n you_o know_v mary_n magdalen_n be_v move_v with_o this_o when_o she_o be_v such_o a_o sinner_n and_o see_v that_o god_n have_v receive_v she_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o melt_v her_o heart_n so_o that_o she_o water_v his_o foot_n with_o her_o tear_n so_o shall_v we_o be_v affect_v if_o we_o do_v serious_o consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o christ_n love_n i_o will_v give_v you_o my_o body_n and_o my_o blood_n this_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o consider_v it_o aright_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v we_o his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o love_n like_o this_o he_o have_v love_v i_o say_v paul_n and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o i_o and_o this_o be_v that_o indeed_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o effectual_a motive_n of_o all_o other_o that_o there_o be_v a_o pardon_n that_o christ_n still_o make_v offer_v of_o to_o you_o indeed_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o bring_v we_o into_o christ_n but_o this_o other_o thing_n may_v prepare_v we_o but_o nothing_o bring_v we_o in_o but_o this_o you_o know_v a_o pirate_n as_o long_o as_o a_o proclamation_n of_o rebellion_n be_v out_o against_o he_o will_v not_o come_v in_o but_o a_o pardon_n be_v promise_v and_o advancement_n annex_v to_o it_o that_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v bring_v he_o in_o the_o thief_n run_v away_o as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v pursue_v with_o hue_n and_o cry_n but_o the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n make_v he_o return_v back_o so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o law_n that_o bring_v you_o in_o that_o may_v prepare_v you_o but_o it_o be_v this_o gospel_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o sacrament_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o eye_n as_o we_o do_v to_o the_o ear_n and_o when_o mercy_n be_v promise_v when_o a_o pardon_n be_v promise_v a_o general_a pardon_n without_o exception_n of_o person_n or_o sin_n my_o think_v this_o shall_v affect_v you_o and_o bring_v you_o in_o as_o it_o be_v say_v jer._n 3._o say_v the_o lord_n if_o one_o of_o you_o have_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n will_v he_o return_v to_o she_o again_o no_o but_o you_o have_v play_v the_o harlot_n in_o many_o place_n and_o many_o time_n and_o yet_o return_v to_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o i_o may_v say_v to_o every_o man_n that_o hear_v i_o though_o thy_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a like_o that_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n like_o that_o sin_n of_o play_v the_o harlot_n though_o that_o be_v frequent_o commit_v though_o it_o be_v do_v oft_o many_o time_n yet_o return_n say_v the_o lord_n if_o thou_o will_v come_v in_o thou_o shall_v be_v pardon_v and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o whosoever_o receive_v i_o say_v christ_n shall_v be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n consider_v this_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o let_v it_o not_o be_v in_o vain_a unto_o you_o when_o you_o hear_v those_o pathetical_a speech_n 1_o john_n he_o come_v to_o his_o own_o and_o his_o own_o receive_v he_o not_o and_o again_o oh_o jerusalem_n jerusalem_n how_o oft_o will_v i_o have_v gather_v thou_o etc._n etc._n i_o say_v when_o you_o hear_v these_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v with_o yourselves_o these_o be_v rebellious_a people_n to_o use_n christ_n thus_o you_o think_v if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o case_n if_o you_o have_v be_v there_o among_o they_o you_o will_v not_o have_v do_v it_o well_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o every_o man_n that_o continue_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n christ_n offer_v himself_o we_o make_v offer_v of_o he_o when_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o be_v offer_v he_o be_v make_v like_o a_o common_a dole_n all_o may_v come_v that_o will_n and_o certain_o all_o that_o hunger_n do_v come_v but_o when_o thou_o go_v on_o still_o in_o thy_o sin_n thou_o be_v one_o of_o they_o to_o who_o christ_n be_v come_v and_o thou_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o they_o who_o he_o will_v gather_v and_o thou_o will_v not_o no_o but_o thou_o will_v go_v on_o thou_o take_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o

thou_o recompence_v to_o the_o lord_n evil_a for_o good_a do_v thou_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v bear_v this_o at_o thy_o hand_n no_o sure_o he_o will_v be_v revenge_v on_o such_o a_o man_n on_o such_o a_o people_n as_o this_o but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o do_v this_o that_o you_o exhort_v we_o to_o and_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v not_o only_o show_v you_o what_o the_o duty_n be_v without_o afford_v you_o some_o help_n to_o do_v it_o we_o will_v add_v some_o thing_n that_o may_v invite_v you_o to_o come_v in_o and_o take_v christ_n thus_o offer_v in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o which_o be_v continual_o offer_v by_o and_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v invite_v you_o but_o two_o thing_n to_o go_v no_o far_o one_o be_v the_o misery_n out_o of_o christ_n the_o second_o be_v the_o happiness_n you_o shall_v have_v by_o he_o and_o that_o be_v the_o business_n we_o have_v principal_o to_o do_v at_o this_o time_n that_o we_o may_v invite_v you_o to_o take_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o take_v the_o lord_n himself_o who_o be_v offer_v effectual_o and_o free_o to_o you_o he_o make_v proclamation_n to_o all_o that_o will_v come_v and_o take_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o now_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o shall_v invite_v the_o son_n of_o man_n to_o come_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n will_v do_v it_o their_o misery_n out_o of_o christ_n and_o their_o happiness_n by_o he_o as_o the_o prodigal_n what_o do_v invite_v he_o to_o come_v home_o the_o misery_n he_o be_v in_o he_o see_v he_o can_v not_o live_v he_o can_v not_o get_v husk_n to_o sustain_v he_o on_o the_o otherside_n in_o his_o father_n house_n there_o be_v bread_n enough_o those_o two_o together_o wrought_v on_o he_o and_o bring_v he_o home_o so_o we_o when_o we_o invite_v man_n to_o the_o marriage_n of_o ●he_n king_n son_n that_o be_v to_o marry_v the_o son_n himself_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o invite_v they_o we_o bring_v they_o to_o consider_v on_o the_o one_o side_n i_o can_v live_v without_o christ_n i_o be_o undo_v i_o perish_v if_o i_o do_v again_o on_o the_o otherside_n by_o match_v with_o he_o i_o shall_v have_v all_o by_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v by_o nature_n i_o shall_v be_v a_o son_n of_o god_n a_o king_n and_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n i_o shall_v have_v all_o that_o christ_n have_v i_o say_v these_o two_o shall_v invite_v we_o to_o come_v in_o and_o therefore_o we_o will_v do_v these_o two_o first_o show_v you_o the_o misery_n you_o be_v in_o out_o of_o christ_n john_n 3.18_o say_v the_o evangelist_n there_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n be_v condemn_v already_o mark_v he_o need_v not_o a_o new_a condemnation_n but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n be_v condemn_v already_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o son_n have_v not_o life_n be_v not_o this_o misery_n enough_o to_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o condemnation_n john_n 5._o he_o that_o obey_v not_o the_o son_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o and_o what_o be_v that_o wrath_n of_o god_n if_o the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n be_v a_o messenger_n of_o death_n what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o his_o wrath_n rom._n 9_o what_o if_o he_o will_v to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o make_v his_o power_n know_v suffer_v with_o patience_n the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n appoint_v to_o destruction_n that_o be_v when_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v to_o execute_v his_o wrath_n on_o evil_a man_n he_o will_v use_v all_o the_o power_n he_o have_v to_o execute_v the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n on_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o

sudden_o which_o be_v enough_o to_o awake_v a_o man_n out_o of_o his_o sleep_n of_o security_n for_o let_v he_o thus_o reason_n if_o god_n mean_v to_o save_v i_o he_o will_v give_v i_o no_o rest_n in_o sin_n for_o who_o he_o intend_v to_o save_v he_o afflict_v beforehand_o that_o they_o may_v not_o perish_v with_o the_o world_n but_o those_o that_o will_v go_v with_o the_o world_n he_o suffer_v to_o go_v that_o be_v a_o terrible_a say_n in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o samuel_n the_o three_o chapter_n and_o eleven_o verse_n speak_v of_o hophni_n and_o phinees_n say_v god_n when_o i_o begin_v i_o will_v make_v a_o end_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sentence_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v small_a comfort_n that_o you_o be_v free_a it_o be_v with_o you_o as_o with_o they_o that_o be_v

again_o see_v it_o as_o you_o use_v to_o see_v it_o in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n for_o then_o man_n be_v common_o awake_a see_v how_o it_o be_v then_o present_v if_o it_o be_v not_o then_o terrible_a again_o judge_v of_o sin_n as_o man_n enlighten_v do_v look_n to_o holy_a man_n how_o they_o judge_v of_o sin_n and_o which_o be_v without_o exception_n see_v how_o the_o scripture_n present_v sin_n with_o this_o concomitant_a the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o a_o evil_a and_o bitter_a thing_n see_v the_o prophet_n jeremie_n the_o second_o chapter_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v right_a and_o let_v all_o this_o humble_a you_o second_o 2._o make_v this_o use_n of_o it_o learn_v to_o add_v this_o to_o your_o humiliation_n god_n as_o you_o must_v labour_v to_o see_v your_o state_n to_o have_v that_o corruption_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v in_o you_o discover_v so_o you_o must_v labour_v for_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o if_o you_o get_v not_o you_o will_v never_o be_v humble_v labour_v to_o see_v god_n himself_o in_o his_o wrath_n look_v not_o naked_o on_o a_o affliction_n but_o see_v god_n in_o it_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o sight_n of_o he_o the_o creator_n it_o will_v whole_o amaze_v and_o humble_a the_o creature_n eliah_n be_v not_o move_v with_o the_o wind_n that_o tear_v the_o rock_n nor_o with_o the_o earthquake_n though_o terrible_a but_o when_o god_n come_v though_o in_o a_o soft_a voice_n yet_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n humble_v he_o that_o make_v he_o cover_v his_o face_n with_o his_o mantle_n there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o affliction_n one_o be_v that_o which_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o other_o sort_n be_v when_o god_n hand_n be_v in_o it_o when_o they_o be_v mingle_v with_o his_o wrath_n these_o be_v like_a arrow_n dip_v in_o venom_n that_o make_v a_o deep_a wound_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v incurable_a when_o you_o feel_v the_o wrath_n god_n in_o any_o affliction_n let_v it_o be_v but_o a_o light_a apprehension_n in_o itself_o yet_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v set_v it_o on_o and_o mingle_v it_o with_o his_o wrath_n it_o will_v grow_v insupportable_a judas_n before_o his_o treason_n think_v thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n to_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n and_o that_o he_o have_v get_v much_o by_o it_o but_o when_o god_n do_v manifest_v himself_o and_o reveal_v his_o wrath_n a_o little_a so_o that_o he_o see_v god_n and_o have_v a_o feel_n of_o he_o as_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v soon_o or_o late_a you_o see_v what_o a_o condition_n he_o be_v in_o so_o it_o be_v with_o belshazzer_n it_o be_v his_o fear_n of_o god_n when_o he_o see_v the_o hand_n it_o be_v not_o the_o hand_n but_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n wrath_n that_o raise_v his_o thought_n and_o loose_v his_o loin_n and_o make_v his_o knee_n knock_v one_o against_o the_o other_o so_o paul_n when_o he_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o false_a samuel_n it_o cast_v he_o on_o his_o face_n he_o care_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o man_n do_v to_o he_o you_o know_v how_o david_n describe_v his_o valour_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o he_o that_o humble_v he_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v the_o mighty_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o be_v thy_o enemy_n who_o have_v all_o thing_n at_o his_o command_n and_o if_o he_o

thou_o say_v but_o i_o feel_v nothing_o for_o the_o present_a remember_v though_o thou_o feel_v it_o not_o for_o the_o present_a yet_o there_o be_v wrath_n lay_v up_o for_o thou_o god_n have_v it_o in_o store_n remember_v god_n deal_v with_o they_o that_o sin_v against_o he_o shimei_n have_v commit_v a_o sin_n that_o in_o god_n sight_n deserve_v death_n so_o do_v adonijah_n so_o do_v saul_n and_o his_o seven_o son_n that_o be_v hang_v for_o break_v their_o oath_n with_o the_o gibeonite_n you_o see_v how_o long_o these_o lay_n as_o if_o god_n have_v forget_v they_o but_o at_o length_n he_o bring_v they_o all_o to_o death_n he_o do_v not_o pour_v out_o his_o wrath_n on_o the_o sudden_a perhaps_o thou_o shall_v feel_v nothing_o of_o a_o long_a time_n but_o thou_o be_v condemn_v and_o

he_o keep_v you_o safe_a if_o our_o eye_n be_v open_v to_o see_v this_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v we_o shall_v magnify_v it_o and_o stand_v amaze_v at_o it_o when_o he_o come_v to_o express_v what_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o express_v it_o in_o he_o be_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o they_o be_v we_o he_o have_v a_o kingdom_n that_o be_v we_o he_o be_v a_o son_n so_o be_v we_o he_o be_v a_o heir_n so_o be_v we_o nothing_o can_v hurt_v we_o but_o it_o hurt_v he_o therefore_o make_v use_n of_o this_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v object_v that_o be_v terrible_a and_o grievous_a answer_v it_o with_o this_o i_o be_o in_o christ_n when_o thou_o want_v any_o thing_n know_v thou_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v for_o thou_o be_v in_o christ_n set_a all_o your_o thought_n on_o work_n to_o look_v to_o all_o the_o thing_n man_n nature_n be_v capable_a of_o that_o you_o desire_v to_o make_v you_o happy_a we_o have_v they_o all_o in_o he_o o_o the_o length_n and_o height_n and_o depth_n of_o his_o mercy_n indeed_o it_o be_v such_o a_o depth_n that_o we_o can_v fathom_v and_o a_o height_n we_o can_v reach_v and_o a_o length_n we_o can_v measure_v all_o this_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n if_o we_o have_v but_o paul_n spirit_n to_o apprehend_v it_o and_o a_o little_a crevise_n of_o light_n open_v to_o we_o as_o there_o be_v to_o he_o that_o we_o may_v see_v into_o this_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ_n we_o will_v stand_v amaze_v i_o can_v stand_v to_o enlarge_v it_o any_o further_a you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o of_o what_o moment_n now_o we_o will_v come_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v so_o glorious_a a_o condition_n to_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n it_o shall_v inflame_v we_o then_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v in_o he_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v in_o this_o condition_n for_o if_o you_o have_v the_o son_n you_o have_v life_n 1_o john_n 5.12_o he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o pertain_v to_o life_n godliness_n and_o happiness_n he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o son_n have_v not_o life_n that_o be_v he_o be_v yet_o in_o death_n and_o condemnation_n have_v christ_n and_o have_v all_o thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o happy_a and_o glorious_a condition_n twofold_n therefore_o let_v those_o that_o have_v it_o desire_v to_o enlarge_v it_o more_o and_o more_o and_o those_o that_o want_v it_o let_v they_o seek_v to_o get_v it_o more_o first_o i_o say_v those_o that_o have_v it_o let_v they_o labour_n to_o enlarge_v it_o you_o will_v say_v if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n how_o can_v he_o be_v more_o if_o he_o be_v unite_v if_o he_o be_v marry_v to_o he_o how_o can_v he_o be_v more_o justification_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o point_n worth_a your_o consideration_n that_o you_o may_v be_v more_o in_o christ._n it_o be_v true_a justification_n in_o this_o sense_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n understand_v but_o it_o be_v indivisible_a either_o you_o be_v marry_v or_o not_o marry_v either_o you_o be_v in_o he_o or_o not_o in_o he_o so_o far_o indeed_o it_o admit_v of_o no_o degree_n but_o now_o when_o a_o spouse_n take_v a_o husband_n she_o have_v so_o much_o will_v as_o to_o resolve_v to_o make_v such_o a_o one_o her_o husband_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v degree_n of_o willingness_n she_o may_v will_v it_o more_o there_o may_v be_v more_o desire_n of_o it_o there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a approbation_n of_o it_o so_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o every_o man_n that_o be_v justify_v in_o christ_n be_v within_o the_o covenant_n within_o the_o door_n yet_o he_o may_v go_v in_o further_a or_o less_o far_o when_o he_o be_v within_o so_o i_o say_v you_o may_v be_v within_o the_o covenant_n but_o this_o take_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v in_o christ_n this_o receive_n of_o he_o admit_v of_o degree_n because_o though_o one_o be_v marry_v to_o a_o husband_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o will_n as_o to_o resolve_v to_o take_v he_o rather_o than_o refuse_v he_o yet_o this_o very_a will_n of_o take_v may_v be_v strong_a as_o her_o affection_n to_o he_o be_v more_o the_o reason_n be_v strong_a and_o large_a that_o invite_v she_o to_o take_v he_o so_o the_o union_n with_o christ_n may_v be_v near_o yet_o the_o knot_n may_v be_v yet_o strait_o and_o as_o that_o increase_v so_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o increase_v therefore_o the_o thing_n we_o will_v exhort_v you_o to_o be_v to_o be_v more_o in_o christ_n to_o get_v yet_o near_o to_o he_o you_o will_v say_v object_n how_o shall_v that_o be_v do_v consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o draw_v you_o to_o he_o answ._n do_v and_o to_o labour_v to_o intend_v all_o that_o that_o when_o you_o have_v take_v he_o you_o may_v yet_o make_v the_o union_n near_o and_o better_o than_o it_o be_v and_o these_o five_o thing_n will_v do_v it_o first_o consider_v your_o misery_n without_o he_o you_o do_v consider_v it_o before_o it_o which_o cause_v you_o to_o take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n he_o when_o you_o see_v you_o can_v not_o live_v without_o he_o but_o when_o you_o find_v that_o misery_n to_o be_v yet_o more_o your_o resolution_n will_v be_v strong_a you_o will_v more_o approve_v your_o action_n of_o take_v he_o you_o will_v prize_v he_o more_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v yet_o near_o christ_n reflect_v often_o on_o yourselves_o on_o your_o own_o condition_n and_o see_v what_o you_o be_v without_o he_o consider_v what_o your_o sin_n be_v how_o you_o shall_v have_v perish_v if_o you_o have_v not_o take_v he_o how_o miserable_a you_o be_v still_o how_o unable_a to_o help_v yourselves_o and_o the_o more_o humble_a you_o be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n and_o the_o more_o greedy_o you_o will_v receive_v he_o the_o more_o degree_n will_v be_v add_v to_o the_o take_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o that_o be_v one_o great_a mean_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o prize_n christ_n even_o to_o know_v our_o misery_n the_o prodigal_a son_n be_v teach_v to_o prize_v his_o be_v in_o his_o father_n house_n by_o the_o extremity_n of_o want_n he_o be_v in_o the_o more_o he_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o it_o the_o more_o he_o prize_v it_o labour_v therefore_o to_o know_v what_o you_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n to_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o it_o to_o know_v that_o you_o can_v subsist_v you_o can_v be_v without_o he_o christ._n again_o second_o labour_v more_o to_o know_v the_o virtue_n and_o the_o excellency_n of_o your_o husband_n for_o as_o they_o be_v more_o explicate_v and_o discover_v to_o you_o so_o you_o will_v love_v he_o more_o as_o one_o that_o be_v marry_v the_o more_o she_o see_v in_o her_o husband_n the_o more_o she_o desire_v he_o the_o more_o glad_a she_o be_v that_o the_o match_n be_v make_v there_o be_v the_o great_a degree_n of_o will_n to_o take_v her_o husband_n labour_v to_o see_v this_o beauty_n in_o christ_n to_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o you_o be_v he_o not_o crucify_v for_o you_o he_o love_v i_o say_v paul_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o he_o die_v for_o i_o consider_v all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v consider_v the_o great_a dowry_n the_o riches_n he_o bring_v with_o he_o all_o the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n he_o bring_v with_o he_o and_o you_o have_v by_o he_o look_v well_o upon_o he_o consider_v the_o number_n of_o they_o and_o the_o weight_n of_o they_o think_v of_o all_o the_o advantage_n you_o get_v by_o he_o the_o more_o you_o see_v this_o the_o more_o those_o virtue_n and_o excellency_n of_o christ_n be_v explicate_v and_o unfold_v and_o make_v manifest_a unto_o you_o the_o more_o you_o will_v love_v he_o and_o the_o near_a be_v the_o
