the_o first_o chaprer_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n i_o say_v for_o this_o great_a heir_n this_o mirror_n of_o beauty_n the_o brightnesle_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n to_o stoop_v to_o match_v himself_o to_o a_o creature_n sure_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a condescend_v but_o since_o he_o be_v so_o please_v to_o condescend_v so_o low_a as_o to_o match_v himself_o to_o a_o creature_n he_o may_v well_o have_v choose_v the_o high_a lineage_n of_o the_o creature_n the_o high_a and_o most_o noble_a stock_n of_o creature_n he_o may_v have_v match_v himself_o with_o angel_n but_o this_o make_v his_o condescent_n more_o admittable_a he_o descend_v low_a he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o belove_v be_v it_o to_o creature_n and_o the_o low_a of_o creature_n simple_o the_o condescent_n have_v not_o be_v so_o great_a there_o may_v be_v some_o beauty_n in_o a_o country_n

rebellion_n and_o treason_n so_o this_o traitorous_a blood_n can_v not_o contain_v itself_o within_o its_o bound_n but_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n speak_v from_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o head_n

find_v in_o this_o word_n of_o grace_n because_o this_o word_n of_o grace_n be_v write_v before_o thy_o conversion_n so_o that_o either_o you_o must_v deny_v the_o pardon_n that_o be_v proper_o and_o

to_o believe_v fetch_v out_o of_o this_o word_n of_o grace_n their_o pardon_n so_o unconvert_v person_n elect_v have_v their_o grace_n equal_o in_o this_o word_n only_o the_o lord_n hide_v the_o

such_o person_n he_o give_v no_o more_o hint_n of_o it_o to_o such_o person_n than_o he_o give_v to_o the_o reprobate_n themselves_o this_o be_v that_o will_v take_v away_o the_o suspect_a

their_o pardon_n before_o conversion_n i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v such_o a_o pardon_n for_o he_o but_o he_o know_v it_o not_o nor_o ever_o shall_v he_o know_v it_o till_o he_o be_v

and_o to_o come_v be_v all_o of_o they_o at_o once_o pardon_v as_o the_o godly_a learned_a protestant_n say_v i_o say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v true_a except_o there_o be_v pardon_v pass_v before_o

grant_n of_o this_o pardon_n extant_a before_o upon_o which_o as_o upon_o a_o ●●e_z foundation_n his_o believe_v may_v stay_v itself_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o person_n be_v not_o cut_v off_o before_o they_o be_v call_v if_o their_o sin_n be_v not_o pardon_v which_o stand_v between_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o they_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n stand_v between_o they_o even_o between_o the_o destroy_a wrath_n of_o god_n and_o god_n people_n that_o do_v commit_v sin_n even_o before_o conversion_n in_o a_o word_n where_o will_v you_o find_v a_o new_a act_n of_o god_n since_o the_o grant_n that_o be_v register_v here_o in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n certain_a i_o be_o that_o the_o person_n pardon_v be_v not_o convert_v when_o this_o be_v make_v and_o if_o there_o be_v or_o come_v after_o this_o be_v first_o make_v a_o new_a grant_n either_o it_o must_v be_v enter_v a_o new_a here_o or_o it_o must_v be_v in_o a_o new_a book_n by_o itself_o if_o therefore_o all_o the_o pardon_n be_v as_o ancient_a as_o this_o record_n be_v than_o all_o pardon_n whatsoever_o be_v ancient_a than_o the_o present_a believe_v of_o any_o person_n that_o now_o live_v hence_o we_o may_v let_v person_n know_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o rash_a expression_n to_o say_v that_o such_o and_o such_o a_o person_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n if_o it_o be_v mean_v he_o be_v so_o before_o god_n while_o he_o remain_v in_o the_o state_n of_o unconversion_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v upon_o that_o person_n though_o elect_v till_o he_o be_v call_v belove_a let_v i_o tell_v you_o the_o state_n of_o the_o unconvert_v elect_a person_n be_v as_o sure_a from_o danger_n of_o final_a miscarriage_n as_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o saint_n in_o

so_o that_o the_o same_o dicharge_n of_o they_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n concern_v the_o one_o as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v another_o but_o i_o say_v still_o the_o unconverted_a person_n can_v make_v any_o conclusion_n from_o all_o this_o because_o he_o can_v know_v his_o portion_n till_o he_o come_v to_o believe_v the_o three_o thing_n i_o propose_v be_v to_o know_v how_o christ_n be_v
