there_o be_v some_o folk_n have_v come_v all_o the_o length_n in_o the_o end_n the_o end_n they_o will_v even_o come_v to_o this_o to_o drink_v to_o the_o confusion_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o all_o

that_o they_o have_v what_o they_o be_v that_o be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n beside_o the_o inward_a worm_n gnaw_v with_o terror_n like_o a_o worm_n rug_v at_o the_o maw_n of_o they_o ready_a to_o

for_o this_o doctrine_n matth._n 16_o 20._o then_o charge_v he_o his_o disciple_n that_o they_o shall_v tell_v no_o man_n that_o he_o be_v jesus_n the_o christ_n you_o have_v hear_v several_a reason_n of_o this_o inhibition_n serve_v upon_o this_o truth_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o disciple_n which_o do_v not_o warrant_v any_o man_n to_o conceal_v this_o gracious_a truth_n unless_o they_o have_v a_o peremptory_a command_n for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o as_o the_o disciple_n here_o have_v he_o do_v it_o as_o a_o minister_n not_o seek_v his_o own_o glory_n he_o do_v it_o as_o much_o pity_v the_o

therefore_o as_o a_o just_a punishment_n and_o recompense_n of_o their_o sin_n he_o lay_v on_o a_o arrestment_n on_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o shall_v tell_v no_o man_n that_o he_o be_v jesus_n the_o christ_n the_o saviour_n of_o sinner_n the_o king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n of_o his_o people_n he_o do_v it_o as_o a_o recompense_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o for_o the_o accuse_v of_o the_o truth_n but_o one_o of_o the_o great_a reason_n of_o this_o inhibition_n be_v to_o make_v way_n for_o another_o glorious_a design_n which_o be_v on_o foot_n in_o heaven_n anent_o christ_n suffering_n at_o jerusalem_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o they_o have_v know_v it_o they_o will_v not_o have_v crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n jesus_n christ_n know_v that_o he_o behoove_v to_o go_v to_o

so_o he_o leave_v they_o to_o a_o latitude_n to_o persecut_v and_o crucify_v he_o that_o so_o he_o may_v accomplish_v the_o great_a design_n that_o his_o father_n and_o he_o have_v on_o foot_n anent_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v here_o hold_v forth_o upon_o this_o reason_n of_o the_o inhibition_n be_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o most_o uncouth_a and_o strange_a dispensation_n in_o his_o church_n bring_v about_o the_o most_o glorious_a purpose_n and_o work_v of_o god_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o

let_v none_o know_v that_o i_o be_o the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o all_o be_v do_v by_o the_o burial_n of_o that_o truth_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n bring_v about_o the_o most_o glorious_a work_n that_o ever_o be_v wrought_v for_o his_o church_n which_o be_v by_o the_o death_n of_o a_o stain_n christ_n which_o be_v occasion_v here_o some_o way_n by_o his_o hide_v of_o this_o truth_n from_o those_o that_o be_v to_o crucify_v he_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n use_v by_o the_o most_o strange_a and_o uncouth_a dispensation_n in_o his_o church_n to_o bring_v about_o the_o most_o

first_o we_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a of_o strange_a and_o uncouth_a dispensation_n that_o fallout_a in_o the_o church_n and_o then_o a_o word_n to_o what_o those_o glorious_a work_n of_o god_n be_v that_o be_v bring_v about_o by_o those_o glorious_a dispensation_n 3._o we_o shall_v give_v you_o some_o instance_n by_o which_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o sad_a and_o uncouth_a dispensation_n that_o ever_o fell-out_a in_o the_o church_n have_v bring_v about_o the_o great_a and_o most_o advantageous_a work_n for_o she_o and_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o doctrine_n we_o shall_v speak_v a_o word_n of_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n choose_v this_o way_n for_o bring_v about_o such_o glorious_a work_n and_o purpose_n by_o such_o uncouth_a and_o strange_a dispensation_n for_o the_o first_o we_o call_v dispensation_n uncouth_a and_o strange_a and_o dreadfull-like_a when_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v fall_v out_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o special_a providence_n yet_o do_v justle_v with_o the_o reveal_v word_n of_o god_n and_o his_o command_n such_o as_o a_o lie_v put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o jacob_n by_o rebekkah_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o secret_a providence_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o justle_v with_o the_o command_n of_o god_n yet_o you_o know_v there_o come_v some_o strange_a advantage_n to_o he_o thereby_o so_o esther_n you_o know_v come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o vasthi_fw-la the_o queen_n this_o do_v exceed_o justle_v against_o the_o command_n of_o god_n for_o the_o jew_n shall_v not_o have_v enter_v in_o marriage_n with_o any_o of_o that_o place_n that_o be_v not_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n this_o seem_v to_o justle_v against_o the_o command_n of_o god_n yet_o you_o know_v how_o this_o do_v amount_v to_o the_o good_a and_o

that_o live_n among_o stranger_n yet_o there_o come_v a_o great_a advantage_n for_o jacob_n out_o of_o that_o jacob_n have_v too_o long_o rest_v in_o that_o nest_n therefore_o say_v he_o arise_v jacob_n and_o go_v to_o bethel_n 2._o we_o call_v dispensation_n strange_a and_o uncouth_a as_o they_o justle_v with_o promise_n prediction_n or_o prophecy_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v great_a thing_n towards_o his_o people_n you_o know_v he_o endeavour_v for_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n it_o make_v the_o burden_n seven-times_o worse_o their_o task_n be_v double_v this_o justle_v with_o god_n promise_n or_o prophecy_n of_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n a_o bonny_a beginning_n indeed_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o they_o will_v come_v out_o of_o it_o their_o task_n be_v double_v yet_o by_o these_o thing_n he_o bring_v about_o their_o delivery_n glorious_o for_o great_a advantage_n to_o they_o and_o great_a ruin_n to_o their_o

they_o be_v uncouth_a enough_o why_o be_v they_o not_o as_o for_o example_n the_o lord_n bury_v a_o truth_n of_o great_a importance_n let_v man_n lay_v a_o great_a stone_n upon_o it_o and_o say_v it_o
