jezreel_n there_o be_v a_o five_o fold_v communion_n that_o be_v bottom_v upon_o our_o communion_n with_o god_n 1._o the_o communion_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v with_o the_o angel_n be_v all_o

with_o saint_n if_o they_o have_v not_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n 1_o john_n 1.3_o these_o thing_n write_v we_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o also_o may_v have_v fellowship_n with_o we_o and_o

with_o god_n heb._n 12.22_o 23._o 5._o the_o communion_n that_o we_o have_v with_o all_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v bottom_v upon_o our_o communion_n with_o christ_n 3._o this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o most_o superlative_a communion_n which_o be_v make_v between_o god_n the_o father_n and_o jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n why_o because_o when_o once_o it_o begin_v it_o never_o end_v perpetuity_n add_v a_o excellency_n to_o it_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a be_v much_o more_o evil_a by_o how_o much_o long_o their_o continuance_n be_v so_o it_o be_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a they_o be_v much_o better_a by_o their_o continuance_n some_o interposition_n there_o may_v be_v of_o a_o saint_n communion_n sometime_o but_o no_o dissipation_n of_o it_o the_o interruption_n that_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o saint_n meet_v withal_o be_v but_o as_o cloud_n before_o the_o sun_n that_o quick_o make_v their_o departure_n again_o when_o it_o shine_v forth_o upon_o they_o other_o communion_n often_o end_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o begin_v they_o be_v lose_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o be_v find_v they_o be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o hand_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o be_v get_v into_o our_o hand_n friend_n quick_o die_v and_o leave_v we_o behind_o they_o or_o it_o may_v be_v we_o ourselves_o die_v and_o leave_v our_o friend_n behind_o we_o and_o so_o the_o knot_n of_o communion_n be_v untie_v they_o be_v not_o long_o live_v that_o have_v the_o long_a life_n but_o a_o saint_n in_o communion_n will_v never_o attain_v his_o end_n if_o his_o communion_n shall_v ever_o come_v to_o a_o end_n such_o as_o the_o foundation_n be_v such_o be_v the_o building_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o it_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o communion_n be_v lay_v in_o love_n and_o

they_o 4._o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o high_a communion_n because_o it_o be_v the_o open_a door_n to_o all_o a_o saint_n blessedness_n so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o text_n i_o will_v meet_v they_o and_o bless_v they_o what_o a_o blessing_n do_v jacob_n receive_v when_o the_o angel_n wrestle_v with_o he_o all_o the_o night_n but_o jacob_n wrestle_v go_v before_o his_o blessing_n our_o communion_n make_v way_n for_o our_o blessedness_n there_o be_v no_o favour_n but_o come_v in_o through_o the_o gate_n of_o communion_n 5._o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o high_a communion_n because_o all_o other_o commnnion_n be_v but_o dark_a shadow_n and_o resemblance_n of_o it_o the_o uttermost_a that_o all_o communion_n among_o all_o the_o creature_n amount_v to_o be_v but_o a_o resemblance_n and_o a_o dark_a shadow_n of_o this_o communion_n with_o god_n it_o be_v resemble_v by_o the_o

that_o you_o take_v heed_n as_o unto_o a_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n until_o the_o day_n dawn_n &_o the_o day_n star_n arise_v in_o your_o heart_n they_o think_v that_o all_o these_o morning_n star_n must_v away_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o jesus_n christ_n have_v rise_v as_o a_o sun_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n 3._o other_o they_o be_v such_o as_o take_v up_o their_o rest_n in_o ordinance_n and_o conclude_v the_o goodness_n of_o their_o estate_n by_o ordinance_n because_o they_o have_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o ordinance_n therefore_o they_o think_v they_o have_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n 4._o other_o neither_o rest_n in_o nor_o yet_o rest_v from_o ordinance_n and_o these_o be_v person_n indeed_o that_o be_v like_a to_o meet_v with_o a_o blessing_n when_o they_o come_v to_o god_n when_o these_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o they_o be_v make_v welcome_a to_o he_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v bless_v by_o he_o such_o a_o spirit_n be_v fit_a for_o
