the_o lord_n believe_v i_o that_o i_o be_o in_o the_o father_n if_o you_o believe_v this_o it_o shall_v be_v for_o your_o own_o weal_n it_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v for_o my_o glory_n but_o for_o

through_o his_o name_n the_o lord_n say_v unto_o they_o rejoice_v rather_o in_o this_o that_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o heaven_n luke_n 10.17_o if_o we_o find_v the_o power_n of_o faith_n

so_o i_o say_v faith_n be_v powerful_a in_o word_n and_o deed_n and_o he_o who_o want_v this_o faith_n he_o want_v power_n in_o word_n and_o deed_n and_o so_o bless_a be_v he_o who_o have_v this_o faith_n now_o there_o arise_v a_o question_n in_o the_o word_n some_o will_v think_v this_o a_o marvelous_a thing_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v power_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o work_v great_a work_n than_o himself_o wrought_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n after_o his_o ascension_n wrought_v great_a work_n than_o the_o lord_n do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o disciple_n as_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n that_o wrought_v these_o work_n by_o the_o disciple_n he_o utter_v his_o power_n use_v they_o as_o minister_n yet_o shall_v not_o the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v great_a work_n himself_o in_o his_o own_o person_n than_o he_o wrought_v by_o his_o disciple_n shall_v he_o not_o himself_o have_v wrought_v great_a work_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n than_o he_o wrought_v by_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o the_o lord_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n be_v but_o humble_a &_o that_o divine_a power_n do_v keep_v itself_o close_o &_o utter_v not_o itself_o in_o the_o full_a measure_n and_o so_o it_o behove_v to_o be_v that_o the_o godhead_n shall_v not_o utter_v the_o self_n in_o his_o humiliation_n buâ—_n when_o he_o be_v glorify_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n in_o the_o heaven_n than_o the_o power_n of_o that_o godhead_n in_o he_o utter_v itself_o in_o great_a power_n than_o in_o the_o earth_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n glorify_v wrought_v great_a thing_n by_o his_o apostle_n than_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n when_o he_o be_v humble_v this_o one_o
argument_n be_v sufficient_a that_o after_o his_o ascension_n by_o their_o ministry_n the_o whole_a world_n be_v convert_v which_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v while_o he_o himself_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n because_o the_o godhead_n keep_v the_o self_n close_o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o lord_n lay_v down_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o i_o go_v to_o my_o glory_n and_o i_o be_o pass_v to_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o my_o glory_n shall_v utter_v itself_o the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n must_v appear_v in_o the_o world_n at_o that_o time_n of_o his_o ascension_n when_o he_o go_v to_o his_o father_n to_o heaven_n than_o the_o power_n strike_v wonderful_o upon_o the_o earth_n from_o the_o heaven_n when_o we_o have_v the_o lord_n jesus_n now_o glorify_v in_o the_o heaven_n we_o have_v a_o more_o glorious_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n than_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v his_o bodily_a presence_n so_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v to_o pass_v up_o to_o the_o father_n so_o you_o see_v brethren_n this_o gift_n the_o disciple_n shall_v get_v that_o they_o shall_v work_v great_a work_n than_o he_o do_v be_v nothing_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o saviour_n howbeit_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o work_v more_o glorious_a work_n by_o such_o weak_a instrument_n than_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n it_o be_v not_o prejudicial_a to_o his_o power_n if_o the_o instrument_n of_o themselves_o have_v do_v these_o work_n it_o will_v have_v prejudge_v his_o glory_n but_o see_v they_o do_v they_o by_o his_o power_n it_o hinder_v nothing_o his_o glory_n yea_o i_o say_v his_o glory_n seem_v the_o more_o in_o the_o world_n by_o their_o work_n because_o it_o testify_v that_o he_o who_o be_v so_o base_a in_o the_o world_n have_v such_o a_o power_n in_o he_o when_o he_o ascend_v he_o come_v to_o another_o ground_n of_o work_v of_o great_a work_n what_o ever_o you_o shall_v ask_v in_o my_o name_n you_o shall_v get_v it_o that_o be_v send_v up_o your_o prayer_n to_o i_o to_o the_o heaven_n when_o i_o be_o glorify_v and_o what_o you_o shall_v ask_v in_o my_o name_n it_o shall_v be_v grant_v so_o this_o be_v another_o ground_n wherefore_o the_o apostle_n wrought_v great_a work_n after_o his_o ascension_n they_o pray_v to_o he_o and_o draw_v down_o his_o power_n out_o of_o heaven_n by_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o power_n incomprehensible_a that_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n now_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n will_v be_v partaker_n of_o that_o power_n he_o must_v send_v up_o his_o prayer_n to_o heaven_n by_o faith_n in_o he_o to_o draw_v down_o that_o power_n to_o the_o world_n we_o see_v the_o apostle_n act._n 4._o pray_v earnest_o that_o by_o their_o hand_n he_o will_v work_v sign_n and_o wonder_n and_o they_o obtain_v it_o it_o be_v a_o pity_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o great_a a_o power_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o life_n and_o we_o miserable_a creature_n have_v so_o great_a need_n and_o want_v of_o it_o shall_v have_v no_o part_n of_o it_o the_o fault_n lie_v not_o in_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v power_n and_o virtue_n enough_o in_o he_o to_o save_v a_o thousand_o world_n but_o this_o be_v the_o fault_n man_n and_o woman_n can_v pray_v because_o they_o want_v faith_n so_o all_o the_o want_n that_o be_v in_o we_o that_o we_o want_n heaven_n and_o life_n everlasting_a all_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o ourselves_o that_o can_v pray_v and_o say_v lord_n there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a power_n in_o thou_o and_o thou_o can_v save_v a_o thousand_o world_n therefore_o lord_n by_o thy_o power_n save_o i_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a shame_n that_o this_o shall_v inlake_v on_o our_o part_n that_o we_o can_v open_v our_o mouth_n to_o seek_v grace_n see_v such_o abundance_n such_o a_o infinite_a power_n and_o treasure_n be_v in_o he_o and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o great_a treasure_n to_o be_v deal_v so_o that_o every_o man_n may_v have_v his_o part_n he_o will_v condemn_v

these_o argument_n we_o have_v hear_v now_o in_o this_o text_n the_o lord_n go_v forward_o in_o the_o argument_n and_o first_o he_o give_v the_o four_o reason_n wherefore_o they_o shall_v abide_v in_o he_o then_o he_o pass_v to_o other_o exhortation_n then_o the_o four_o and_o last_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o and_o my_o word_n in_o you_o than_o what_o ever_o you_o ask_v

jesus_n abide_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o word_n and_o by_o faith_n so_o all_o be_v alike_o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o argument_n what_o ever_o shall_v be_v your_o desire_n ask_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o that_o be_v if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o all_o your_o petition_n shall_v be_v grant_v this_o argument_n be_v very_o allure_a to_o tell_v a_o man_n what_o ever_o he_o desire_v he_o shall_v have_v before_o he_o threaten_v now_o he_o allure_v you_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n temper_v his_o argument_n but_o brethren_n mark_v this_o in_o respect_n of_o who_o be_v this_o argument_n

these_o word_n two_o remedy_n against_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o world_n the_o godly_a have_v two_o remedy_n against_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o world_n the_o first_o be_v when_o the_o

his_o own_o still_o fight_v on_o in_o a_o battle_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n keep_v they_o wonderful_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o persecution_n so_o that_o the_o world_n will_v be_v compel_v to_o

as_o the_o lord_n have_v his_o work_n in_o their_o hand_n all_o the_o tyrant_n under_o the_o heaven_n have_v no_o power_n to_o harm_v they_o and_o namely_o a_o preacher_n till_o he_o end_v his_o

his_o head_n for_o they_o be_v number_v yea_o rather_o ere_o he_o get_v any_o harm_n the_o lord_n will_v send_v his_o angel_n out_o of_o heaven_n as_o he_o send_v he_o to_o peter_n and_o pull_v he_o out_o of_o the_o throat_n of_o death_n now_o brethren_n look_v to_o the_o order_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v in_o these_o remedy_n he_o will_v not_o incontinent_a take_v his_o own_o out_o of_o the_o

end_n of_o all_o this_o be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o union_n and_o conjunction_n among_o the_o member_n of_o one_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o earth_n the_o glory_n that_o the_o father_n give_v to_o the_o son_n and_o the_o glory_n that_o the_o son_n give_v to_o we_o tend_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o be_v join_v together_o in_o the_o earth_n to_o make_v up_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n see_v that_o all_o the_o glory_n that_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o and_o i_o have_v give_v they_o serve_v to_o this_o that_o they_o may_v be_v one_o as_o we_o be_v one_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o pray_v for_o that_o they_o may_v be_v unite_v in_o one_o body_n the_o glory_n say_v the_o lord_n that_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o i_o have_v give_v it_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v to_o the_o whole_a faithful_a not_o to_o his_o disciple_n only_o but_o to_o the_o whole_a faithful_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n what_o be_v the_o glory_n that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v to_o the_o son_n the_o next_o word_n expound_v it_o and_o make_v it_o clear_a the_o glory_n that_o the_o father_n give_v to_o the_o son_n stand_v in_o this_o that_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n i_o in_o they_o and_o thou_o in_o i_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n the_o father_n have_v give_v himself_o to_o the_o son_n this_o be_v high_a but_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o plain_a to_o you_o in_o the_o eternal_a generation_n wherein_o the_o father_n beget_v the_o son_n from_o all_o eternity_n without_o beginning_n the_o father_n communicate_v with_o the_o son_n that_o whole_a glorious_a substance_n and_o nature_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o communicate_v with_o the_o son_n his_o whole_a glorious_a nature_n and_o substance_n so_o soon_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n become_v one_o in_o nature_n and_o substance_n and_o therefore_o consider_v this_o communication_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n to_o wit_n in_o nature_n and_o substance_n and_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v to_o the_o son_n his_o glory_n for_o brethren_n what_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n nothing_o but_o the_o glorious_a essence_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o glory_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o son_n what_o be_v mean_v again_o by_o this_o glory_n that_o the_o son_n give_v to_o the_o father_n the_o word_n in_o the_o next_o verse_n
love_v the_o faithful_a as_o thou_o have_v love_v i_o will_v thou_o know_v that_o god_n love_v the_o faithful_a and_o that_o he_o show_v mercy_n join_v thou_o to_o the_o body_n there_o be_v the_o two_o end_n of_o the_o conjunction_n and_o join_v together_o of_o the_o member_n the_o first_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n the_o second_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n for_o by_o this_o conjunction_n it_o be_v know_v how_o dear_o the_o father_n have_v love_v the_o son_n and_o by_o this_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o father_n have_v love_v the_o world_n not_o with_o a_o
