heaven_n that_o be_v in_o this_o vision_n of_o john_n he_o do_v seem_v to_o see_v a_o very_a strange_a and_o unusual_a sight_n we_o call_v thing_n wonder_n that_o be_v strange_a thing_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n to_o see_v the_o sun_n shine_v because_o it_o be_v common_a and_o the_o star_n to_o give_v light_n because_o common_a but_o when_o we_o see_v a_o blazing-star_n we_o call_v it_o a_o wonder_n so_o the_o meaning_n be_v i_o see_v a_o great_a wonder_n say_v john_n and_o what_o of_o that_o i_o see_v a_o woman_n i_o see_v a_o woman_n in_o the_o heaven_n it_o be_v common_a to_o see_v the_o sun_n

to_o see_v a_o people_n keep_v themselves_o holy_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o wicked_a and_o perverse_a generation_n to_o see_v a_o people_n live_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o a_o wicked_a and_o debauch_a kingdom_n be_v a_o wonder_n for_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o wrath_n and_o rage_n of_o the_o devil_n they_o be_v resolve_v to_o love_n god_n and_o follow_v the_o lamb_n where_o ever_o he_o lead_v they_o this_o be_v a_o wonder_n and_o in_o many_o respect_v the_o church_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o wonder_n a_o wonder_n to_o angel_n a_o wonder_n to_o devil_n and_o a_o wonder_n to_o the_o wicked_a world_n a_o wonder_n to_o angel_n we_o read_v they_o desire_v to_o peep_v into_o the_o mystery_n of_o redemption_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o die_v for_o a_o company_n of_o sinful_a creature_n that_o deserve_v no_o better_o a_o condition_n than_o the_o dungeon_n of_o hell_n but_o for_o you_o angel_n to_o see_v god_n take_v poor_a sinner_n from_o the_o dungeon_n of_o sin_n and_o wrath_n and_o raise_v they_o upon_o throne_n by_o give_v they_o repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o adopt_v they_o son_n and_o daughter_n and_o take_v they_o to_o be_v his_o friend_n this_o the_o angel_n wonder_v at_o and_o why_o may_v i_o not_o guess_v a_o wonder_n to_o the_o devil_n for_o they_o to_o see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v and_o themselves_o to_o be_v pass_v by_o to_o be_v forsake_v eternal_o reserve_v in_o chain_n and_o to_o see_v such_o creature_n as_o we_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o state_n of_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n may_v make_v they_o stand_v and_o wonder_n and_o true_o how_o can_v it_o choose_v but_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o ourselves_o if_o david_n in_o see_v the_o heaven_n sun_n moon_n and_o star_n can_v cry_v out_o lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o how_o can_v we_o choose_v but_o wonder_v when_o we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n either_o in_o heart_n or_o life_n to_o see_v god_n take_v we_o and_o wash_v we_o like_o swine_n out_o of_o the_o mire_n and_o cleanse_v we_o and_o make_v we_o live_v like_o

2._o the_o church_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o woman_n for_o her_o affection_n their_o affection_n ordinary_o be_v more_o strong_a it_o be_v say_v of_o jonathan_n his_o love_n do_v exceed_v the_o love_n of_o woman_n the_o holy_a ghost_n compare_v the_o church_n to_o a_o woman_n to_o signify_v that_o all_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o very_a ardent_a love_n and_o affection_n to_o christ_n
