hear_v that_o most_o grievous_a trouble_n be_v at_o hand_n it_o be_v not_o know_v whether_o christ_n give_v his_o disciple_n twice_o warn_v of_o one_o thing_n but_o i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v

they_o not_o search_v it_o out_o then_o since_o the_o speech_n be_v ambiguous_a and_o christ_n speak_v not_o otherwise_o than_o the_o prophet_n be_v wont_v when_o they_o witness_v the_o grace_n of_o

belong_v not_o to_o christ_n when_o as_o he_o be_v god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o have_v demand_v by_o what_o right_a christ_n take_v that_o authority_n upon_o he_o now_o without_o any_o inquiry_n they_o imagine_v he_o to_o be_v some_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n they_o do_v rash_o proceed_v to_o condemn_v he_o 4._o when_o jesus_n see_v their_o

1._o cor._n 2._o 11._o therefore_o mark_n add_v that_o he_o know_v in_o his_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v man_n can_v not_o discern_v that_o which_o lie_v hide_v in_o their_o heart_n

of_o sin_n exceed_v the_o cure_n of_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v easy_o answer_v for_o christ_n appli_v his_o speech_n to_o their_o capacity_n which_o as_o they_o be_v man_n unregenerate_a so_o be_v they_o more_o move_v with_o outward_a sign_n then_o with_o all_o the_o spiritual_a power_n of_o christ_n which_o avail_v to_o everlasting_a salvation_n so_o in_o john_n 5._o 28._o he_o prove_v the_o

they_o find_v this_o place_n of_o scripture_n through_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o true_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n do_v not_o by_o &_o by_o appear_v unto_o

against_o god_n if_o at_o any_o time_n those_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v be_v not_o approve_v in_o our_o judgement_n we_o be_v also_o teach_v that_o when_o god_n do_v keep_v we_o as_o it_o be_v

defer_v the_o full_a manifestation_n of_o his_o work_n to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v we_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n the_o meaning_n therefore_o of_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o disciple_n do_v at_o length_n understande_v that_o christ_n be_v enforce_v with_o that_o zeal_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n wherewith_o he_o be_v inflame_v to_o take_v away_o those_o

else_o save_v a_o plain_a repartition_n the_o sum_n of_o they_o both_o be_v that_o david_n be_v so_o careful_a to_o revenge_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v willing_o offer_v his_o head_n unto_o all_o rebuke_n which_o the_o reprobate_n do_v cast_v out_o against_o god_n y_a t_o he_o be_v inflame_v with_o so_o great_a zeal_n that_o this_o one_o affection_n do_v swallow_v uppe_o all_o

wherefore_o as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o profit_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v have_v need_n to_o meditate_v diligent_o and_o continual_o upon_o the_o scripture_n david_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n not_o in_o vain_a when_o he_o intreat_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o although_o god_n be_v sufficient_a to_o himself_o and_o can_v be_v contend_v with_o himself_o alone_o yet_o will_v he_o have_v his_o glory_n to_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o church_n wherein_o he_o show_v a_o manifest_a token_n of_o his_o love_n toward_o

of_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o bridegroom_n therefore_o this_o my_o joy_n be_v full_a 30_o he_o must_v increase_v but_o i_o must_v be_v deminish_v 31_o he_o which_o come_v from_o above_o be_v above_o
