a_o sight_n of_o the_o son_n look_v that_o thou_o pass_v not_o by_o he_o will_v thou_o do_v as_o the_o jew_n do_v the_o jew_n get_v not_o a_o sight_n of_o he_o because_o they_o pass_v by_o the_o

while_o he_o talk_v with_o we_o by_o the_o way_n and_o when_o he_o open_v to_o we_o the_o scripture_n luke_n 24.32_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v power_n to_o burn_v up_o the_o dross_n of_o the_o heart_n we_o also_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n find_v by_o experience_n that_o life_n be_v convoy_v to_o our_o soul_n what_o mean_v this_o it_o mean_v that_o the_o lord_n who_o speak_v be_v life_n and_o that_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o he_o set_a i_o up_o a_o philosopher_n will_v his_o word_n give_v life_n no_o the_o word_n of_o man_n can_v give_v thou_o no_o life_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o author_n of_o life_n give_v life_n it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n himself_o outward_o speak_v unto_o we_o but_o all_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o he_o now_o it_o be_v speak_v by_o infirm_a man_n and_o sinner_n weak_a silly_a body_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o world_n contemn_v the_o gospel_n it_o please_v the_o lord_n so_o to_o confound_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v also_o true_a if_o they_o who_o preach_v the_o gospel_n seek_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n they_o shall_v have_v this_o vantage_n the_o lord_n will_v accompany_v the_o word_n speak_v by_o they_o so_o powerfullie_o by_o his_o spirit_n that_o it_o shall_v furnish_v life_n to_o the_o hearer_n you_o see_v this_o in_o experience_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v any_o sight_n of_o jesus_n christ_n witness_v it_o and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o silly_a base_a man_n who_o be_v speak_v the_o word_n that_o same_o word_n will_v have_v power_n to_o life_n and_o this_o be_v the_o mean_a the_o lord_n use_v while_o his_o come_n again_o and_o albeit_o the_o word_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o jesus_n to_o speak_v of_o a_o hang_a man_n die_v a_o death_n which_o be_v curse_v by_o god_n himself_o of_o jesus_n nail_v on_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o base_a thing_n and_o the_o most_o foolish_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o paul_n say_v the_o word_n of_o the_o same_o cross_n of_o jesus_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o life_n to_o they_o who_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o power_n that_o any_o faithful_a soul_n can_v feel_v be_v the_o cross_n which_o be_v foolishness_n to_o the_o world_n and_o they_o think_v all_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n to_o be_v but_o foolishness_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o mean_a portion_n of_o that_o wisdom_n what_o mean_v this_o wisdom_n preach_v by_o weak_a man_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o a_o crucify_a man_n which_o convoy_v life_n into_o the_o soul_n it_o mean_v this_o that_o the_o crucify_a man_n be_v the_o god_n of_o glory_n therefore_o hold_v fast_o this_o ground_n and_o then_o thou_o shall_v find_v power_n come_v from_o he_o to_o quicken_v thy_o dead_a soul_n and_o through_o his_o death_n thou_o shall_v get_v life_n if_o he_o have_v not_o die_v thou_o have_v never_o see_v life_n so_o all_o our_o life_n and_o all_o our_o joy_n be_v in_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o let_v this_o be_v all_o our_o glory_n and_o our_o joy_n to_o rest_v upon_o the_o cross_n

god_n and_o the_o son_n another_o then_o in_o very_a deed_n faith_n in_o the_o one_o will_v prejudge_v the_o other_o for_o why_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n can_v lean_v on_o two_o thing_n or_o upon_o two_o god_n or_o three_o so_o that_o we_o note_v here_o that_o faith_n must_v be_v on_o one_o thing_n only_o if_o thou_o will_v put_v thy_o trust_n in_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n on_o riches_n

and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o faith_n must_v be_v ground_v on_o one_o only_a it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o bear_v thou_o witness_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n in_o substance_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n so_o it_o be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o father_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n yea_o i_o say_v more_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n in_o the_o father_n but_o through_o the_o son_n and_o if_o thy_o faith_n reach_v not_o through_o the_o son_n and_o through_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n in_o he_o it_o shall_v pass_v thy_o power_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o father_n for_o god_n dwell_v in_o a_o light_n without_o access_n no_o creature_n can_v come_v there_o no_o not_o the_o angel_n without_o the_o son_n there_o be_v no_o sight_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o sight_n of_o he_o without_o christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o crucify_a for_o in_o he_o only_o shine_v the_o glory_n justice_n mercy_n and_o power_n of_o his_o father_n because_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o engraven_a form_n of_o his_o person_n so_o will_v thou_o believe_v in_o god_n thou_o must_v pass_v through_o the_o son_n to_o the_o father_n this_o be_v the_o truth_n search_n and_o see_v if_o it_o can_v be_v possible_a to_o thou_o to_o get_v any_o grip_n of_o god_n or_o if_o thou_o can_v get_v any_o joy_n without_o jesus_n no_o thou_o can_v not_o but_o when_o thou_o apprehend_v jesus_n christ_n thou_o pierce_a in_o to_o that_o light_n and_o tast_a of_o that_o joy_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o next_o argument_n he_o

the_o virtue_n of_o he_o before_o his_o come_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o it_o be_v at_o his_o come_n and_o after_o he_o pass_v up_o to_o heaven_n why_o shall_v we_o have_v such_o a_o benefit_n
