least_o satan_n may_v suggest_v why_o what_o be_v this_o a_o poor_a thing_n that_o can_v hardly_o crawl_v towards_o christ_n in_o a_o duty_n so_o weak_a there_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o be_v see_v of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n because_o there_o be_v so_o little_a ay_o but_o christian_n you_o do_v not_o know_v under_o what_o designment_n this_o little_a be_v what_o great_a thing_n the_o lord_n have_v to_o manage_v by_o this_o little_a grace_n daniel_n when_o the_o lord_n show_v he_o the_o great_a revolution_n that_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o show_v he_o a_o mountain_n a_o mighty_a mountain_n and_o he_o show_v he_o also_o a_o little_a stone_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o mountain_n without_o hand_n and_o this_o stone_n shall_v be_v big_a than_o the_o mountain_n the_o mountain_n if_o you_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o roman_a empire_n that_o be_v as_o a_o mountain_n that_o fill_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n ay_o but_o the_o little_a stone_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o mountain_n without_o hand_n that_o shall_v cover_v all_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o its_o time_n so_o i_o say_v do_v but_o you_o make_v it_o your_o business_n to_o discover_v grace_n and_o never_o prescribe_v any_o limit_n as_o to_o that_o grace_n a_o little_a grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o great_a design_n little_a david_n do_v more_o than_o the_o mighty_a man_n saul_n that_o be_v tall_a than_o all_o the_o israelite_n he_o be_v under_o a_o great_a designment_n i_o pray_v consider_v this_o with_o i_o under_o these_o two_o branch_n 1._o the_o least_o grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o designment_n for_o great_a service_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v christ_n be_v prophesy_v of_o as_o a_o root_n that_o shall_v grow_v out_o of_o a_o dry_a ground_n so_o christ_n be_v compare_v he_o promise_v but_o little_a there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a slender_a appearance_n of_o jesus_n at_o the_o first_o that_o ever_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o man_n in_o who_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o prophecy_n shall_v centre_n a_o carpenter_n son_n this_o be_v but_o the_o son_n of_o a_o carpenter_n say_v they_o a_o unlikely_a thing_n that_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o prophecy_n of_o the_o messiah_n shall_v centre_n in_o he_o and_o have_v their_o accomplishment_n in_o he_o even_o so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o christian_n little_a beginning_n many_o time_n do_v work_n and_o boil_v up_o and_o improve_v unto_o great_a undertakement_n if_o you_o naked_o consider_v how_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o his_o own_o disciple_n one_o will_v wonder_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v his_o hearer_n three_o year_n and_o and_o a_o half_a and_z when_o all_o come_v to_o all_o have_v not_o so_o much_o faith_n as_o to_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v real_o he_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v grace_n enough_o to_o bear_v they_o out_o in_o one_o brush_n of_o trial_n that_o they_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o apprehend_n of_o our_o lord_n but_o they_o must_v all_o forsake_v he_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n that_o indeed_o be_v something_o a_o great_a trial_n but_o to_o forsake_v he_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v apprehend_v and_o for_o peter_n to_o deny_v he_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v challenge_v this_o do_v not_o discover_v greatness_n of_o grace_n true_o these_o man_n as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v man_n of_o little_a stature_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o they_o during_o that_o time_n they_o live_v with_o christ_n and_o hear_v the_o lord_n christ_n be_v but_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o man_n that_o must_v do_v the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n so_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n in_o thy_o child_n heart_n or_o in_o thy_o own_o heart_n but_o that_o little_a grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o great_a designment_n for_o great_a service_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v look_v after_o a_o little_a because_o he_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o be_v design_v for_o and_o that_o every_o one_o be_v design_v for_o 2._o the_o least_o grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o designment_n for_o the_o great_a enjoyment_n that_o be_v god_n may_v design_v a_o person_n for_o the_o great_a enjoyment_n that_o have_v now_o but_o the_o least_o grace_n many_o time_n child_n that_o be_v weak_a have_v most_o of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o tender_a affection_n of_o the_o mother_n true_o so_o i_o may_v say_v the_o lord_n do_v lead_v those_o many_o time_n by_o the_o hand_n that_o he_o have_v give_v but_o little_a grace_n to_o when_o other_o be_v as_o it_o be_v turn_v to_o go_v of_o themselves_o the_o lamb_n be_v carry_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o shepherd_n isa_n 40.11_o the_o lord_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o a_o shepherd_n that_o shall_v gather_v the_o lamb_n with_o his_o arm_n and_o carry_v they_o in_o his_o bosom_n christian_n though_o you_o be_v but_o little_a yet_o i_o pray_v consider_v you_o may_v be_v under_o a_o designment_n of_o great_a enjoyment_n the_o lord_n do_v many_o time_n give_v you_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sweet_a of_o the_o gospel_n whilst_o he_o feed_v other_o with_o courser_n and_o harsh_a fare_n the_o lord_n give_v you_o the_o dainty_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o of_o the_o promise_n when_o he_o do_v treat_v with_o other_o with_o more_o course_n or_o more_o common_a providence_n christian_n i_o pray_v consider_v not_o only_o for_o the_o present_a but_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v you_o may_v be_v under_o the_o great_a designment_n for_o the_o great_a enjoyment_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v not_o lose_v the_o least_o grain_n what_o sieve_n soever_o he_o make_v use_v of_o to_o be_v sure_a his_o eye_n and_o his_o hand_n will_v be_v upon_o the_o least_o grain_n in_o the_o sieve_n because_o of_o their_o designment_n 3._o the_o lord_n will_v take_v care_n of_o those_o that_o have_v the_o least_o grace_n because_o those_o that_o have_v the_o least_o grace_n have_v a_o full_a right_n i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v there_o be_v no_o gradual_a difference_n in_o gospel_n right_a if_o i_o have_v a_o right_n to_o a_o estate_n wrap_v up_o in_o a_o scroul_n of_o paper_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o right_n that_o another_o have_v to_o his_o estate_n that_o be_v write_v or_o enlarge_v upon_o in_o a_o sheet_n true_o so_o it_o be_v with_o christian_n little_a grace_n give_v a_o full_a right_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n will_v look_v after_o it_o or_o else_o he_o must_v suffer_v his_o own_o right_a to_o be_v lose_v the_o right_a that_o he_o have_v give_v to_o be_v void_a if_o he_o do_v not_o look_v after_o the_o least_o grace_n i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o these_o two_o branch_n 1._o the_o great_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o the_o least_o of_o grace_n i_o pray_v turn_n to_o that_o passage_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o first_o sermon_n that_o ever_o he_o preach_v upon_o the_o mount_n in_o mat._n 5._o bless_a say_v he_o be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n what_o can_v you_o have_v more_o than_o the_o kingdom_n not_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o kingdom_n without_o limitation_n they_o be_v the_o throne_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o their_o be_v the_o crown_n of_o the_o kingdom_n &_o they_o be_v the_o blessedness_n &_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o who_o be_v these_o to_o who_o this_o kingdom_n in_o all_o its_o glory_n be_v thus_o annex_v by_o promise_n it_o be_v those_o who_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n that_o have_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n and_o yet_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o little_a christian_n there_o be_v no_o gradual_a variation_n in_o right_n though_o there_o be_v always_o gradual_a variation_n in_o the_o comfort_n of_o your_o right_n you_o shall_v scarce_o meet_v with_o two_o christian_n that_o have_v in_o all_o point_v a_o equal_a balance_n of_o comfortable_a enjoyment_n of_o their_o right_n and_o yet_o their_o right_n be_v the_o same_o thy_o promise_n be_v my_o promise_n and_o the_o blessing_n that_o be_v a_o christian_n by_o covenant_n that_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n these_o very_a blessing_n and_o this_o very_a covenant_n may_v with_o all_o its_o blessing_n belong_v to_o he_o that_o have_v least_o grace_n may_v a_o man_n that_o be_v well_o thrive_v in_o grace_n say_v all_o this_o be_v i_o as_o god_n say_v to_o abraham_n when_o he_o lead_v he_o forth_o come_v say_v he_o look_v towards_o the_o east_n and_o the_o west_n and_o the_o north_n and_o the_o south_n behold_v all_o this_o land_n will_v i_o

give_v thou_o so_o i_o may_v say_v to_o a_o christian_a christian_n come_v look_v from_o the_o one_o end_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o other_o look_v upward_o look_v downward_o look_v on_o this_o hand_n and_o look_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n from_o the_o north_n to_o the_o south_n behold_v all_o this_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o ay_o but_o i_o be_o poor_a say_v the_o christian_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n thy_o poverty_n do_v not_o destroy_v thy_o right_n thy_o poverty_n make_v no_o alteration_n in_o thy_o right_n do_v not_o say_v in_o thy_o heart_n this_o be_v for_o those_o that_o be_v tall_a cedar_n this_o be_v for_o those_o that_o be_v fruitful_a but_o as_o for_o i_o alas_o i_o be_o not_o well_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a though_o never_o so_o little_a thy_o right_n be_v the_o same_o a_o little_a grace_n you_o see_v do_v give_v right_a to_o the_o great_a blessing_n and_o the_o great_a blessing_n be_v establish_v upon_o the_o least_o grace_n bless_v be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o kingdom_n but_o what_o be_v they_o that_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n that_o have_v but_o little_a and_o be_v sensible_a that_o they_o have_v but_o a_o little_a though_o they_o have_v but_o a_o little_a yet_o bless_v be_v the_o poor_a for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n 2._o the_o same_o grace_n that_o give_v the_o right_n make_v the_o difference_n the_o gradual_a difference_n though_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n in_o the_o receipt_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o same_o grace_n it_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n have_v give_v thou_o five_o talent_n it_o may_v be_v to_o another_o he_o have_v give_v but_o two_o and_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v give_v to_o another_o but_o one_o talon_n well_o but_o yet_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o same_o grace_n that_o give_v all_o those_o talent_n and_o that_o give_v a_o like_a right_n with_o those_o various_a or_o disproportion_a gift_n it_o be_v the_o same_o grace_n all_o issue_n from_o the_o same_o fountain_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o least_o grace_n will_v be_v look_v after_o he_o that_o give_v thou_o a_o right_n to_o five_o talent_n give_v thy_o brother_n as_o good_a and_o as_o equal_v a_o right_a to_o one_o he_o that_o give_v thy_o neighbour_n a_o possession_n of_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o thereby_o it_o may_v be_v his_o right_n be_v more_o manifest_v it_o be_v the_o same_o grace_n that_o give_v thou_o the_o possession_n of_o a_o little_a grace_n and_o yet_o thy_o right_n be_v as_o substantial_a and_o true_a because_o the_o grace_n that_o give_v grace_n difference_v in_o its_o give_v and_o yet_o give_v the_o same_o right_n under_o these_o different_a gift_n 4._o the_o least_o grace_n discover_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o great_a relation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o grace_n do_v where_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o grace_n you_o say_v sure_o this_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n ay_o and_o there_o be_v one_o that_o have_v but_o a_o grain_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v as_o sure_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o he_o that_o have_v more_o he_o be_v as_o sure_o bear_v of_o god_n as_o he_o that_o have_v the_o great_a degree_n of_o grace_n here_o be_v one_o that_o it_o may_v be_v can_v fill_v a_o prayer_n with_o grace_n and_o here_o be_v another_o that_o have_v hardly_o grace_n enough_o to_o stock_n a_o few_o petition_n or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v grace_n to_o stock_n a_o confession_n or_o two_o and_o he_o put_v forth_o that_o little_a grace_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o confession_n or_o petition_n what_o then_o i_o tell_v you_o god_n will_v take_v care_n of_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o other_o the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n because_o the_o least_o grain_n give_v a_o discovery_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o great_a relation_n thou_o say_v sure_o this_o be_v a_o man_n of_o god_n why_o o_o he_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o grace_n and_o i_o say_v as_o sure_o that_o poor_a man_n be_v a_o man_n of_o god_n why_o because_o he_o have_v a_o little_a grace_n a_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o man_n who_o grace_n be_v flourish_a ay_o and_o that_o man_n be_v also_o a_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o grace_n lie_v under_o the_o ash_n there_o be_v no_o flaming_n forth_o as_o yet_o ay_o but_o my_o friend_n there_o be_v a_o spark_n under_o the_o embers_o i_o shall_v likewise_o open_v this_o in_o these_o two_o branch_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v this_o great_a relation_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o relation_n nay_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o those_o relation_n that_o do_v discover_v the_o great_a intimacy_n and_o bring_v a_o man_n within_o the_o great_a blessedness_n these_o do_v not_o depend_v or_o hang_v upon_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o those_o relation_n o_o say_v the_o spouse_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o book_n of_o canticle_n o_o that_o thou_o be_v as_o my_o brother_n that_o suck_v the_o breast_n of_o my_o mother_n 8._o cant._n v._o 1._o so_o i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v many_o time_n with_o the_o lord_n people_n they_o cry_v out_o o_o that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v reveal_v himself_o to_o i_o o_o he_o discover_v himself_o to_o such_o and_o such_o o_o that_o he_o be_v as_o my_o brother_n i_o dare_v not_o call_v he_o my_o brother_n ay_o but_o though_o thou_o dare_v not_o call_v he_o thy_o brother_n thou_o can_v humble_o hope_v that_o thou_o be_v his_o servant_n though_o thou_o can_v not_o with_o that_o freedom_n and_o fullness_n of_o assurance_n call_v he_o thy_o brother_n o_o that_o he_o be_v as_o my_o brother_n as_o one_o that_o suck_v the_o breast_n of_o my_o mother_n o_o that_o i_o be_v but_o in_o full_a communion_n with_o he_o well_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o that_o fullness_n of_o freedom_n of_o spirit_n that_o thou_o can_v not_o as_o yet_o call_v he_o thy_o brother_n yet_o thou_o may_v do_v so_o though_o thou_o have_v but_o little_a grace_n relation_n do_v not_o bear_v proportion_n according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o relate_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v look_v after_o the_o least_o grain_n of_o grace_n because_o the_o least_o be_v he_o it_o be_v my_o little_a grain_n of_o corn_n this_o be_v my_o little_a grace_n this_o be_v my_o little_a faith_n and_o my_o little_a love_n and_o this_o be_v my_o little_a meekness_n the_o least_o degree_n of_o grace_n do_v discover_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o great_a relation_n and_o greatness_n of_o relation_n do_v not_o bear_v proportion_n to_o greatness_n of_o enjoyment_n 2_o second_o that_o those_o relation_n that_o a_o christian_n stand_v in_o unto_o god_n immediate_o up-his_a enter_v into_o the_o relation_n all_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o relation_n lie_v before_o he_o now_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o grace_n do_v admit_v to_o the_o relation_n and_o now_o be_v admit_v all_o the_o blessedness_n all_o the_o glory_n all_o the_o sweetness_n all_o the_o comfort_n all_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o relation_n lie_v before_o this_o man_n as_o well_o as_o before_o he_o that_o have_v the_o great_a degree_n of_o grace_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o relation_n nay_o what_o glory_n be_v there_o that_o be_v not_o in_o any_o relation_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o gospel_n in_o every_o gospel_n relation_n there_o be_v a_o
