what_o abundance_n of_o peace_n and_o wealth_n be_v for_o even_o these_o thing_n we_o most_o esteem_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n for_o here_o we_o need_v no_o exhortation_n second_o

not_o cast_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n before_o those_o that_o prize_n and_o regard_v they_o not_o as_o for_o instance_n forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n this_o be_v a_o spiritual_a mercy_n this_o if_o you_o will_v hunger_n much_o after_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o yea_o and_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o your_o desire_n but_o when_o you_o prize_v

without_o they_o call_v your_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n go_v over_o they_o sum_n they_o up_o and_o let_v your_o heart_n stay_v and_o dwell_v upon_o the_o meditation_n of_o they_o give_v not_o over_o

the_o reason_n you_o have_v not_o these_o mercy_n be_v because_o you_o desire_v they_o not_o or_o else_o your_o desire_n be_v not_o strong_a for_o strong_a desire_n will_v bring_v forth_o strong_a

will_v extort_v it_o from_o god_n by_o a_o holy_a earnestness_n a_o second_o way_n to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n mercy_n mercy_n be_v to_o believe_v they_o add_v to_o your_o desire_n a_o belief_n for_o believe_v be_v that_o which_o open_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o give_v and_o open_v your_o heart_n &_o your_o hand_n to_o receive_v put_v but_o these_o two_o together_o to_o desire_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o and_o then_o open_a your_o mouth_n wide_a &_o god_n will_v fill_v they_o this_o i_o shall_v manifest_o show_v from_o these_o follow_v place_n of_o scripture_n as_o we_o find_v they_o often_o go_v thy_o way_n thy_o faith_n have_v make_v thou_o whole_a when_o christ_n bestow_v any_o mercy_n upon_o man_n that_o be_v add_v in_o the_o gospel_n thy_o faith_n have_v do_v it_o thy_o faith_n have_v make_v thou_o whole_a if_o they_o be_v forgive_v they_o may_v thank_v their_o faith_n for_o it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o instrumental_a mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o more_o faith_n the_o more_o mercy_n for_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v that_o by_o faith_n man_n obtain_v mercy_n and_o the_o want_n of_o faith_n miss_v they_o it_o be_v certain_a god_n be_v a_o merciful_a god_n you_o shall_v find_v he_o so_o if_o you_o can_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v so_o for_o the_o believe_a that_o he_o be_v merciful_a make_v you_o partaker_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n because_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o put_v it_o upon_o that_o condition_n he_o may_v have_v put_v it_o upon_o other_o condition_n but_o this_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o say_v if_o you_o believe_v you_o shall_v have_v these_o and_o these_o mercy_n for_o faith_n knit_v we_o to_o he_o faith_n make_v we_o to_o know_v he_o and_o make_v we_o give_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o mercy_n we_o have_v faith_n ascribe_v it_o whole_o unto_o he_o it_o make_v it_o every_o way_n to_o be_v his_o work_n faith_n make_v we_o righteous_a now_o the_o righteous_a obtain_v mercy_n this_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n god_n reckon_v every_o man_n the_o more_o righteous_a as_o he_o abound_v in_o faith_n therefore_o the_o way_n to_o fill_v yourselves_o with_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v to_o believe_v much_o and_o as_o you_o grow_v in_o faith_n so_o you_o shall_v grow_v from_o
