shall_v be_v fill_v with_o joy_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o suffering_n they_o go_v away_o rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v four_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n that_o some_o shall_v stand_v that_o be_v likely_a to_o fall_v when_o other_o fall_v that_o be_v likely_a to_o stand_v five_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n that_o those_o who_o the_o adversary_n think_v shall_v dishonour_v and_o mar_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v bring_v more_o honour_n to_o god_n and_o suffer_v more_o powerful_o and_o strong_o for_o he_o than_o other_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v use_v most_o for_o god_n six_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n that_o when_o god_n seem_v to_o have_v most_o displeasure_n against_o we_o his_o love_n shall_v be_v then_o most_o set_v upon_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o suffering_n who_o will_v but_o think_v that_o when_o we_o be_v give_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n it_o be_v from_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n against_o we_o when_o yet_o it_o be_v from_o the_o free_a grace_n and_o great_a love_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o seven_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n to_o consider_v that_o what_o be_v our_o great_a misery_n seem_o that_o that_o shall_v contribute_v to_o our_o great_a mercy_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o our_o suffering_n for_o the_o name_n of_o god_n you_o see_v what_o great_a and_o wondrous_a thing_n be_v do_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o also_o what_o wonder_n be_v do_v by_o joseph_n in_o egypt_n when_o he_o be_v sell_v thither_o by_o the_o malitiousness_n of_o his_o brethren_n it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n unto_o his_o people_n that_o the_o more_o other_o work_n to_o do_v they_o harm_n the_o more_o god_n do_v order_v it_o to_o prove_v for_o their_o good_a which_o be_v only_o from_o the_o free_a grace_n love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n we_o never_o do_v any_o work_n yet_o but_o free_a grace_n pay_v we_o for_o it_o even_o the_o work_n of_o suffering_n god_n pay_v we_o for_o that_o he_o be_v a_o preacher_n to_o day_n yet_o carry_v to_o prison_n that_o pay_v he_o for_o it_o yea_o christian_n be_v pay_v for_o the_o work_n they_o never_o do_v and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o but_o only_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v wherein_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n appear_v and_o shine_v forth_o five_o why_o will_v god_n carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o our_o service_n and_o suffering_n in_o the_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n why_o god_n will_v order_v our_o employment_n and_o suffering_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v proud_a of_o they_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v proud_a of_o our_o employment_n and_o suffering_n and_o therefore_o god_n will_v carry_v on_o his_o work_n so_o as_o that_o he_o may_v keep_v we_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o pride_n and_o haughtiness_n when_o we_o shall_v consider_v it_o be_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o single_a we_o out_o to_o service_n or_o suffering_n why_o shall_v we_o be_v proud_a god_n love_v to_o confound_v the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a in_o the_o world_n by_o make_v those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o unlikely_a to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o himself_o and_o by_o order_v their_o service_n and_o suffering_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n this_o god_n do_v to_o confound_v the_o wisdom_n and_o reason_n of_o worldly_a man_n many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v god_n have_v set_v the_o weak_a to_o confound_v the_o strong_a again_o god_n do_v dispose_v of_o his_o work_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n that_o none_o may_v be_v discourage_v from_o his_o service_n or_o suffer_v for_o he_o if_o none_o but_o great_a and_o mighty_a and_o holy_a man_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o god_n service_n than_o the_o weak_a will_v be_v discourage_v and_o despise_v and_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v i_o be_o not_o worthy_a now_o god_n do_v so_o order_n and_o dispose_v of_o his_o work_n as_o not_o to_o discourage_v the_o weak_a but_o to_o give_v encouragement_n to_o all_o well_o then_o if_o so_o a_o word_n for_o application_n be_v this_o a_o truth_n that_o we_o have_v hear_v that_o all_o that_o god_n do_v either_o as_o to_o the_o order_n of_o our_o service_n or_o suffering_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n what_o have_v we_o then_o to_o say_v but_o as_o job_n the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o bless_v be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o say_v that_o god_n choose_v who_o he_o please_v to_o serve_v he_o or_o to_o suffer_v for_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o free_a grace_n if_o so_o why_o shall_v not_o all_o suffer_v but_o you_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o all_o but_o some_o that_o god_n do_v gracious_o single_a out_o to_o suffer_v for_o himself_o but_o here_o some_o may_v say_v i_o be_o weak_a and_o do_v not_o any_o work_n for_o god_n but_o give_v i_o leave_v be_v family_n work_v nothing_o the_o apostle_n insist_o much_o upon_o that_o in_o his_o epistle_n he_o call_v much_o upon_o parent_n child_n master_n and_o all_o to_o do_v their_o duty_n reformation_n work_n be_v a_o great_a work_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n will_v never_o have_v speak_v so_o much_o of_o it_o and_o exhort_v so_o much_o to_o it_o second_o be_v it_o nothing_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o your_o generation_n to_o do_v the_o work_n that_o be_v suitable_a unto_o your_o condition_n all_o man_n be_v not_o call_v to_o all_o work_n there_o be_v a_o peculiar_a work_n to_o every_o man_n now_o be_v comfort_v work_n nothing_o be_v support_v work_n nothing_o be_v relieve_v work_n nothing_o this_o comfort_a work_n it_o be_v angelical_a work_n be_v it_o nothing_o to_o improve_v the_o talon_n that_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o this_o will_v be_v the_o great_a question_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n faithful_a or_o not_o faithful_a there_o be_v none_o but_o have_v talent_n more_o or_o less_o which_o they_o must_v then_o answer_v for_o but_o you_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v i_o have_v no_o work_n that_o be_v a_o mistake_n for_o there_o be_v none_o but_o have_v work_v therefore_o look_v unto_o that_o which_o be_v your_o work_n but_o you_o may_v say_v again_o though_o i_o have_v work_n and_o service_n yet_o my_o service_n may_v be_v a_o judicious_a service_n or_o a_o mercenary_a service_n or_o a_o providential_a service_n now_o how_o shall_v i_o distinguish_v my_o service_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o providential_a a_o judicious_a a_o mercenary_a service_n or_o whether_o god_n have_v gracious_o single_v i_o out_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o take_v these_o two_o or_o three_o thing_n first_o if_o it_o be_v a_o work_n or_o service_n give_v you_o by_o free_a grace_n than_o god_n will_v lead_v you_o more_o and_o more_o and_o bring_v you_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o design_n of_o his_o work_n when_o peter_n be_v call_v to_o open_v the_o door_n of_o the_o temple_n at_o first_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o design_n but_o afterward_o he_o be_v tell_v it_o so_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o thou_o if_o god_n do_v call_v thou_o to_o work_v he_o will_v acquaint_v thou_o with_o the_o design_n of_o the_o work_n second_o if_o you_o serve_v god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n than_o you_o will_v be_v content_v with_o your_o work_n yea_o you_o will_v be_v content_v to_o be_v use_v for_o god_n to_o be_v lay_v out_o for_o god_n you_o will_v say_v i_o be_o content_v because_o god_n have_v call_v i_o three_o when_o god_n do_v make_v use_n of_o a_o man_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n than_o that_o man_n do_v not_o make_v any_o great_a bargain_n for_o himself_o they_o that_o serve_v god_n any_o other_o way_n will_v make_v great_a bargain_n for_o themselves_o make_v use_n of_o his_o service_n to_o increase_v their_o estate_n but_o now_o they_o that_o serve_v god_n out_o in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n will_v not_o do_v so_o therefore_o now_o you_o that_o be_v at_o work_n do_v you_o pocket_v up_o at_o work_n do_v you_o make_v great_a bargain_n for_o yourselves_o if_o so_o this_o be_v no_o free_a grace_n work_v but_o you_o will_v say_v i_o be_o afraid_a i_o do_v not_o serve_v god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n because_o i_o have_v no_o success_n in_o my_o work_n but_o you_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o sometime_o a_o man_n may_v be_v call_v to_o work_v by_o free_a grace_n and_o may_v have_v success_n at_o the_o beginning_n as_o joseph_n have_v many_o year_n and_o yet_o the_o success_n may_v leave_v he_o as_o now_o there_o be_v they_o that_o preach_v

many_o year_n and_o never_o convert_v one_o soul_n yet_o this_o shall_v not_o discourage_v they_o for_o free_a grace_n may_v call_v you_o to_o a_o work_n and_o yet_o you_o may_v not_o find_v that_o success_n in_o it_o which_o you_o expect_v but_o then_o again_o here_o be_v the_o great_a question_n yet_o behind_o suppose_v god_n do_v deal_v with_o the_o child_n of_o man_n in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n than_o what_o be_v my_o duty_n and_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v that_o i_o may_v so_o serve_v and_o suffer_v as_o to_o serve_v and_o suffer_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o you_o may_v take_v it_o in_o these_o follow_a particular_n first_o then_o if_o you_o will_v serve_v and_o suffer_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n then_o serve_v your_o call_n full_o and_o go_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o the_o thing_n call_v unto_o leave_v god_n to_o do_v his_o work_n do_v your_o work_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o leave_v god_n to_o do_v he_o when_o god_n call_v joshuah_n to_o do_v a_o work_v full_o and_o he_o do_v it_o god_n show_v mercy_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o posterity_n after_o he_o and_o so_o when_o john_n be_v call_v to_o a_o work_n and_o he_o do_v it_o by_o half_n god_n blow_v upon_o he_o and_o upon_o his_o posterity_n after_o he_o therefore_o i_o say_v when_o god_n call_v we_o to_o a_o work_n let_v we_o do_v our_o work_n full_o and_o leave_v god_n to_o do_v his_o work_n second_o if_o you_o will_v serve_v god_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n then_o when_o you_o find_v any_o warmth_n or_o heat_n upon_o your_o affection_n take_v the_o hint_n of_o this_o opportunity_n for_o the_o do_v of_o that_o work_n god_n call_v you_o to_o three_o if_o you_o will_v serve_v god_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n then_o do_v not_o envy_v other_o that_o be_v more_o employ_v that_o have_v better_a success_n and_o be_v better_o pay_v than_o yourselves_o observe_v how_o it_o be_v with_o two_o servant_n in_o a_o great_a shop_n the_o one_o at_o one_o end_n the_o other_o at_o the_o other_o end_n the_o one_o may_v take_v more_o money_n than_o the_o other_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o envy_v one_o another_o and_o why_o but_o because_o they_o both_o serve_v one_o master_n thus_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n they_o all_o serve_v one_o master_n and_o therefore_o one_o shall_v not_o envy_v another_o because_o he_o be_v more_o employ_v or_o have_v better_a success_n four_o if_o you_o will_v serve_v god_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n then_o be_v sure_a you_o do_v not_o serve_v for_o wage_n be_v not_o mercenary_a in_o your_o service_n it_o become_v those_o that_o serve_v under_o free_a love_n to_o be_v very_o free_a in_o their_o service_n say_v one_o i_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o my_o neighbour_n and_o ever_o since_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o do_v he_o good_a now_o it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v wrought_v upon_o we_o by_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o if_o so_o let_v we_o free_o serve_v he_o and_o labour_n to_o do_v he_o all_o the_o honour_n we_o can_v when_o the_o prodigal_a first_o thought_n of_o return_v home_o unto_o his_o father_n house_n he_o say_v first_o let_v my_o father_n make_v i_o as_o one_o of_o his_o hire_a servant_n this_o be_v a_o legal_a expression_n i_o will_v be_v hire_v let_v he_o make_v i_o as_o one_o of_o his_o hire_a servant_n but_o when_o he_o see_v his_o father_n love_n he_o talk_v no_o more_o of_o his_o hire_a service_n inheritance_n be_v not_o of_o the_o bondwoman_n but_o of_o the_o free_a i_o do_v confess_v indeed_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o look_v unto_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n yea_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v it_o but_o now_o do_v you_o desire_v to_o serve_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n then_o look_v not_o for_o wage_n do_v not_o do_v as_o a_o hireling_n as_o the_o labourer_n of_o the_o vineyard_n no_o do_v it_o free_o in_o a_o way_n of_o love_n thankfulness_n and_o believe_v five_o if_o you_o will_v serve_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o divine_a love_n then_o serve_v god_n with_o fear_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o goodness_n work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n if_o you_o do_v serve_v and_o work_v then_o fear_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o god_n goodness_n to_o you_o and_o to_o conclude_v this_o application_n if_o you_o will_v serve_v as_o those_o that_o serve_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n then_o have_v a_o care_n that_o in_o all_o your_o working_n you_o depend_v upon_o nothing_o but_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o reference_n to_o your_o call_n and_o if_o so_o why_o then_o shall_v you_o not_o willing_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n will_v you_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v call_v to_o suffer_v why_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a rule_n when_o the_o case_n be_v so_o with_o you_o that_o you_o must_v either_o suffer_v or_o sin_n but_o then_o a_o second_o word_n of_o application_n may_v be_v this_o be_v it_o so_o that_o so_o much_o of_o the_o free_a grace_n be_v lay_v out_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o service_n and_o suffering_n then_o first_o let_v we_o free_o and_o willing_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n and_o cause_n of_o christ_n second_o be_v it_o so_o that_o so_o much_o of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n be_v lay_v out_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o service_n and_o suffering_n then_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v content_v with_o our_o suffering_n not_o only_o content_v in_o suffering_n or_o content_v upon_o suffering_n but_o content_v with_o suffering_n our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o that_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n must_v deny_v themselves_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o not_o only_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n but_o follow_v he_o yea_o and_o deny_v themselves_o some_o will_v deny_v themselves_o in_o this_o or_o that_o but_o will_v not_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n but_o say_v our_o saviour_n if_o any_o man_n will_v follow_v i_o let_v he_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n and_o follow_v i_o thus_o now_o if_o christ_n call_v we_o to_o suffer_v let_v we_o suffer_v free_o because_o his_o grace_n be_v free_a three_o if_o you_o will_v serve_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n then_o take_v heed_n of_o any_o legal_a therefore_o upon_o your_o suffering_n matth._n 9.27_o then_o answer_v peter_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o behold_v we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o what_o shall_v we_o have_v therefore_o this_o be_v a_o legal_a therefore_o christ_n answer_v and_o say_v you_o shall_v have_v your_o reward_n but_o many_o that_o be_v first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o first_o the_o only_a way_n to_o take_v away_o this_o legal_a therefore_o be_v to_o look_v more_o and_o more_o upon_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n either_o in_o your_o service_n or_o suffering_n for_o he_o for_o thus_o all_o must_v do_v that_o either_o serve_v god_n or_o suffer_v for_o he_o under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n do_v you_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n either_o as_o to_o employment_n or_o suffering_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_v then_o look_v more_o and_o more_o upon_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o depend_v upon_o it_o in_o reference_n to_o your_o call_n in_o reference_n to_o your_o assistance_n in_o reference_n to_o your_o dependence_n and_o in_o reference_n to_o your_o reward_n see_v all_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n bless_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o it_o be_v both_o in_o suffer_v work_n and_o in_o service_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o first_o therefore_o as_o you_o will_v desire_v to_o serve_v or_o suffer_v under_o the_o conduct_n of_o free_a grace_n rejoice_v and_o bless_v god_n for_o his_o free_a grace_n remember_v this_o that_o whether_o we_o serve_v or_o suffer_v it_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n shine_v forth_o both_o in_o our_o service_n and_o suffering_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o be_v thy_o eye_n evil_a because_o i_o be_o good_a so_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o and_o the_o first_o last_o because_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v the_o end_n of_o the_o first_o sermon_n sermon_n ii_o 2_o thes_n 2.16_o 17._o now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o and_o god_n even_o our_o father_n

and_o after_o four_o day_n he_o ask_v eight_o day_n to_o answer_v so_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v i_o what_o glory_n that_o be_v which_o be_v in_o my_o text_n i_o must_v take_v two_o day_n and_o then_o four_o day_n and_o then_o eight_o day_n to_o answer_v and_o yet_o then_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o declare_v nor_o be_v able_a to_o express_v this_o glory_n which_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o this_o one_o word_n salvation_n but_o it_o may_v be_v this_o bless_a estate_n be_v bestow_v only_o upon_o those_o that_o be_v worthy_a no_o not_o so_o this_o be_v most_o common_o bestow_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v most_o unworthy_a what_o be_v more_o unworthy_a than_o a_o dog_n why_o be_v not_o stephen_n look_v upon_o as_o a_o dog_n yea_o be_v not_o the_o gentile_n look_v upon_o as_o dog_n say_v christ_n why_o cast_v you_o the_o child_n bread_n to_o dog_n now_o though_o salvation_n be_v of_o the_o jew_n for_o christ_n come_v of_o the_o jew_n yet_o salvation_n be_v now_o for_o the_o gentile_n and_o among_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v more_o unworthy_a than_o a_o blasphemer_n and_o a_o persecutor_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v paul_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v save_v though_o he_o be_v not_o only_o undeserving_a of_o it_o but_o deserve_v the_o quite_o contrary_a now_o who_o more_o undeserving_a than_o those_o that_o deserve_v the_o contrary_a yet_o by_o grace_n even_o they_o be_v save_v therefore_o say_v the_o psalmist_n psal_n 8.3_o when_o i_o consider_v thy_o heaven_n the_o work_n of_o thy_o singer_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n which_o thou_o have_v ordain_v what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o visite_a he_o etc._n etc._n so_o i_o say_v that_o the_o more_o glorious_a any_o mercy_n be_v and_o the_o more_o unworthy_a the_o receiver_n be_v and_o the_o great_a he_o be_v that_o give_v the_o more_o free_a be_v the_o thing_n give_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o our_o salvation_n salvation_n be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a mercy_n and_o this_o salvation_n be_v give_v and_o that_o be_v great_a and_o glorious_a too_o and_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o man_n who_o be_v most_o unworthy_a and_o it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n who_o be_v most_o infinite_a and_o excellent_a above_o we_o but_o again_o five_o the_o more_o god_n do_v cross_a hand_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o more_o free_a be_v his_o grace_n in_o his_o bestow_n of_o it_o upon_o we_o for_o as_o i_o show_v you_o before_o that_o god_n do_v cross_a hand_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o comfort_n so_o i_o say_v now_o that_o god_n do_v cross_a hand_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n also_o for_o he_o do_v often_o save_v they_o that_o be_v most_o unlikely_a to_o be_v save_v as_o paul_n and_o matthew_n the_o publican_n and_o who_o more_o unlikely_a than_o zacheus_n or_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n or_o the_o jailor_n yet_o be_v these_o save_v though_o very_o unlikely_a to_o be_v save_v and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a who_o more_o likely_a to_o be_v save_v than_o the_o young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n yet_o you_o know_v he_o be_v reject_v the_o young_a man_n he_o come_v unto_o christ_n and_o say_v matt._n 19.16_o good_a master_n what_o good_a thing_n shall_v i_o do_v that_o i_o may_v have_v eternal_a life_n say_v christ_n keep_v the_o commandment_n all_o these_o thing_n have_v i_o keep_v say_v he_o from_o my_o youth_n upward_o then_o say_v christ_n go_v sell_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v and_o then_o thou_o shall_v have_v treasure_n in_o heaven_n and_o it_o be_v say_v he_o go_v away_o sorrowful_a mark_v now_o be_v not_o this_o a_o forward_a young_a man_n a_o very_a forward_a man_n all_o these_o say_v he_o have_v i_o keep_v from_o my_o youth_n upward_o and_o christ_n do_v not_o contradict_v he_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o man_n can_v not_o do_v what_o christ_n command_v he_o he_o can_v not_o sell_v all_o he_o have_v it_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o he_o to_o learn_v that_o lesson_n which_o christ_n set_v he_o for_o it_o be_v say_v he_o go_v away_o sorrowful_a and_o and_o therefore_o say_v christ_n a_o rich_a man_n shall_v hardly_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o only_o to_o show_v that_o god_n do_v often_o cross_a hand_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o show_v that_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o first_o for_o god_n love_v to_o cross_v hand_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o say_v as_o the_o scribe_n in_o matt._n 8.19_o master_n i_o will_v follow_v thou_o wheresoever_o thou_o go_v and_o christ_n seem_v to_o put_v he_o off_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n almost_o he_o put_v one_o forward_a and_o he_o excuse_v himself_o and_o say_v suffer_v i_o to_o bury_v my_o father_n but_o christ_n say_v follow_v i_o etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v what_o cross_v of_o hand_n there_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o show_v the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o i_o say_v and_o the_o last_o first_o friend_n stay_v but_o a_o little_a while_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o then_o you_o will_v see_v what_o cross_v of_o hand_n there_o will_v be_v than_o you_o shall_v see_v some_o man_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o christ_n who_o you_o think_v will_v never_o have_v be_v save_v and_o then_o also_o you_o shall_v see_v some_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n of_o christ_n who_o you_o will_v have_v think_v will_v never_o have_v be_v there_o god_n i_o say_v will_v cross_v hand_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o the_o more_o he_o do_v so_o the_o more_o do_v the_o freeness_n of_o his_o grace_n appear_v to_o they_o that_o be_v save_v again_o sixthly_a yet_o one_o thing_n more_o the_o more_o our_o salvation_n be_v lay_v upon_o the_o arch_n or_o pillar_n of_o grace_n and_o love_n the_o more_o free_a be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o more_o free_a it_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o bestow_n of_o it_o now_o what_o be_v the_o arch_n and_o pillar_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n upon_o which_o our_o salvation_n under_o christ_n be_v lay_v i_o shall_v name_v some_o 1._o the_o absoluteness_n of_o the_o covenant_n 2._o that_o god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a 3._o that_o our_o righteousness_n be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o in_o christ_n 4._o that_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o which_o we_o lie_v liable_a to_o condemnation_n be_v remove_v 5._o that_o a_o little_a sincerity_n cover_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o infirmity_n 6._o that_o what_o god_n call_v we_o be_v not_o indeed_o we_o but_o god_n as_o our_o grace_n our_o duty_n which_o be_v not_o indeed_o we_o but_o go_n 7._o that_o god_n will_v in_o due_a time_n glorisy_n we_o and_o honour_v we_o sin_n do_v provoke_v god_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o but_o grace_n do_v provoke_v he_o to_o love_v we_o and_o therefore_o the_o pillar_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v lay_v under_o christ_n upon_o grace_n upon_o freegrace_n and_o love_n and_o thereby_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v the_o more_o appear_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v the_o four_o general_n but_o than_o five_o salvation_n be_v a_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o see_v we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n alone_o why_o then_o do_v god_n choose_v to_o save_v man_n in_o this_o way_n of_o freegrace_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v because_o this_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a way_n unto_o god_n the_o papist_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v most_o honour_n to_o a_o man_n to_o be_v save_v by_o his_o work_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v more_o honour_n and_o more_o honourable_a unto_o god_n to_o save_v by_o his_o freegrace_n second_o if_o there_o be_v somewhat_o of_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n condemnation_n all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n then_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v freegrace_n in_o the_o way_n of_o
