but_o i_o see_v new_a jerusalem_n the_o whole_a church_n as_o one_o single_a person_n come_v down_o from_o god_n the_o whole_a church_n be_v but_o one_o bride_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v for_o

be_v not_o such_o a_o outward_a show_n in_o respect_n of_o talk_n and_o perfection_n which_o i_o speak_v not_o against_o in_o a_o sincere_a heart_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o christ_n count_v his_o church_n but_o one_o and_o so_o the_o angel_n invite_v say_v behold_v you_o the_o bride_n the_o lamb_n wife_n and_o so_o say_v himself_o my_o love_n my_o dove_n she_o be_v but_o one_o the_o only_a one_o of_o her_o mother_n and_o this_o may_v just_o reprove_v many_o in_o our_o day_n who_o will_v distinguish_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n into_o as_o many_o parcel_n as_o be_v form_n or_o judgement_n and_o congregation_n every_o one_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n when_o as_o at_o the_o best_a they_o be_v but_o a_o piece_n of_o his_o jerusalem_n as_o i_o apprehend_v and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o jerusalem_n or_o the_o church_n of_o god_n though_o she_o consist_v of_o many_o jew_n and_o gentile_n call_v and_o uncalled_a yet_o in_o truth_n she_o be_v but_o one_o church_n or_o body_n of_o which_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n second_o every_o particular_a person_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v array_v and_o trim_v by_o god_n and_o christ_n may_v be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o one_o single_a person_n and_o so_o count_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n again_o i_o see_v new_a jerusalem_n come_v down_o as_o a_o bride_n here_o he_o make_v no_o distinction_n of_o bond_n or_o free_a high_a or_o low_o independent_a anabaptist_n presbyterian_a this_o or_o that_o form_n of_o fellowship_n but_o he_o see_v all_o these_o as_o in_o one_o
and_o something_o never_o shall_v be_v though_o he_o preach_v it_o never_o so_o oft_o and_o press_v it_o on_o thou_o too_o with_o argument_n from_o heaven_n and_o argument_n from_o hell_n with_o all_o likewise_o under_o the_o sun_n which_o thou_o refuse_v and_o mind_v it_o not_o but_o frown_v and_o quarrel_v and_o rail_v and_o jeard_v with_o wicked_a man_n and_o say_v thou_o will_v never_o hear_v he_o more_o but_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v thy_o pastor_n he_o smooth_v thou_o up_o and_o please_v thou_o well_o but_o now_o thou_o see_v what_o be_v come_v on_o it_o but_o i_o fear_v i_o shall_v offend_v in_o run_v wide_a from_o the_o word_n though_o it_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o profit_n and_o therefore_o come_v to_o another_o question_n four_o why_o do_v christ_n knock_v so_o sweet_o to_o tempt_v and_o allure_v you_o to_o open_v to_o he_o for_o his_o many_o sweet_a knock_n and_o many_o a_o soul_n christ_n win_v by_o this_o kind_n of_o knock_v which_o open_v as_o it_o be_v all_o the_o vein_n and_o power_n in_o the_o soul_n wide_a unto_o christ_n and_o as_o free_o entertain_v he_o as_o ever_o do_v zacheus_n five_o why_o do_v christ_n knock_v at_o the_o door_n because_o he_o will_v come_v in_o there_o or_o no_o where_o deceiver_n climb_v the_o wall_n but_o christ_n will_v at_o the_o door_n or_o no_o where_o if_o he_o come_v he_o can_v come_v in_o if_o he_o please_v any_o where_n at_o the_o window_n or_o top_n of_o the_o house_n but_o you_o know_v christ_n love_v to_o come_v in_o at_o the_o door_n of_o consent_n which_o be_v the_o common_a way_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o every_o soul_n but_o the_o door_n what_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n the_o heart_n of_o man_n what_o will_v it_o be_v but_o why_o do_v you_o call_v that_o a_o door_n first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o inlet_n to_o the_o house_n second_o it_o be_v the_o outlet_n to_o the_o house_n so_o be_v the_o heart_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o christ_n come_v in_o at_o the_o heart_n so_o the_o world_n sin_n and_o satan_n go_v out_o at_o the_o heart_n solomon_n say_v my_o son_n give_v i_o thy_o heart_n well_o know_v if_o he_o have_v this_o door_n he_o may_v lay_v what_o he_o will_v with_o in_o but_o you_o say_v i_o may_v know_v it_o be_v christ_n by_o his_o thunder_a knock_n but_o what_o do_v you_o call_v christ_n thunder_a knock_n i_o mean_v his_o thunder_a judgement_n to_o the_o world_n the_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n round_o about_o in_o all_o which_o christ_n be_v now_o a_o thunder_a rouse_a they_o from_o their_o den_n of_o pomp_n glory_n and_o greatness_n to_o exalt_v himself_o and_o saint_n in_o the_o room_n of_o sinner_n which_o must_v be_v do_v in_o every_o kingdom_n before_o that_o all_o be_v hush_v and_o christ_n all_o in_o all_o and_o the_o kingdom_n his_o according_a to_o god_n promise_n i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o thy_o possession_n say_v god_n by_o his_o prophet_n david_n turk_n pope_n and_o antichristian_a prince_n have_v keep_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o make_v poor_a saint_n squelke_o and_o hide_v themselves_o in_o new_a plantation_n to_o keep_v their_o conscience_n free_a from_o their_o

on_o by_o his_o thunder_n bolt_n that_o twenty_o more_o may_v fear_v sometime_o strike_v the_o drunkard_n with_o a_o deadly_a surfeit_n and_o sometime_o the_o worldling_n with_o a_o deadly_a heat_n and_o cold_a and_o here_o and_o there_o a_o sinner_n that_o thousand_o more_o may_v be_v warn_v three_o i_o mean_v by_o christ_n thunder_a knock_n when_o christ_n knock_v like_o a_o bellman_n at_o

save_v his_o house_n to_o save_v his_o good_n true_o thus_o christ_n knock_v at_o a_o sinner_n heart_n or_o door_n first_o by_o judgement_n to_o the_o world_n as_o i_o say_v before_o second_o by_o judgement_n on_o ungodly_a man_n who_o first_o or_o last_o christ_n will_v meet_v withal_o when_o they_o have_v fill_v their_o measure_n which_o thousand_o do_v apace_o some_o by_o ungodly_a deed_n some_o by_o ungodly_a speech_n which_o christ_n will_v reckon_v with_o they_o for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o judas_n three_o by_o christ_n cry_v out_o at_o midnight_n fire_n fire_n which_o fright_v
