the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o that_o hence_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o godliness_n flow_v alone_o from_o god_n grace_n and_o not_o from_o any_o humane_a endeavour_n john_n 1.12_o for_o when_o as_o

the_o husbandman_n bestow_v equal_a pain_n and_o care_n yet_o god_n give_v life_n and_o increase_n as_o seem_v good_a to_o he_o so_o in_o distribute_v his_o grace_n god_n do_v select_a out_o of_o

see_v great_a difference_n in_o their_o child_n they_o must_v with_o humility_n submit_v their_o will_n to_o god_n reverence_v his_o work_n adore_v his_o sovereignty_n and_o so_o stay_v themselves_o from_o too_o much_o afflict_v themselves_o use_v 2_o second_o this_o must_v make_v more_o sweet_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o those_o that_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o the_o more_o gratuitall_n it_o be_v the_o more_o grateful_a it_o shall_v be_v a_o singular_a grace_n and_o extraordinary_a require_v a_o singular_a and_o extraordinary_a praise_n as_o god_n of_o his_o peculiar_a people_n expect_v peculiar_a service_n especial_a to_o be_v earnest_a in_o prayer_n and_o frequent_a in_o praise_n use_v 3_o third_z it_o must_v teach_v all_o parent_n to_o run_v oft_o to_o god_n for_o their_o child_n not_o for_o worldly_a thing_n but_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o heavenly_a grace_n and_o as_o the_o conference_n of_o david_n fault_n make_v he_o more_o humble_a himself_o for_o that_o child_n so_o though_o parent_n beget_v not_o child_n in_o sin_n in_o that_o behalf_n yet_o all_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n receive_v from_o parent_n which_o must_v make_v they_o sue_v to_o god_n that_o grace_n may_v correct_v nature_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o general_a description_n in_o the_o particular_a description_n of_o son_n the_o first_o difference_n be_v of_o the_o mother_n

after_o his_o own_o will_n but_o do_v serve_v at_o the_o appointment_n and_o pleasure_n of_o another_o and_o hence_o note_n that_o when_o in_o abraham_n time_n and_o family_n there_o be_v such_o
