pray_v that_o god_n will_v fulfil_v all_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n with_o power_n christ_n be_v much_o magnify_v when_o his_o power_n be_v much_o display_v use_v be_v it_o thus_o what_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n pleasure_n i_o shall_v undergo_v this_o thorn_n and_o be_v the_o lord_n withal_o so_o gracious_a to_o say_v my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v have_v that_o to_o support_v thou_o let_v we_o wise_o apply_v this_o scripture_n when_o we_o be_v thus_o abase_v there_o be_v the_o great_a person_n in_o england_n in_o her_o time_n i_o speak_v it_o not_o with_o any_o reflection_n that_o say_v thus_o to_o one_o of_o her_o favourite_n when_o he_o be_v desire_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o what_o ground_n there_o be_v for_o any_o mortal_a creature_n though_o the_o great_a of_o king_n or_o queen_n to_o apply_v or_o make_v good_a these_o word_n i_o know_v not_o unto_o man_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a god_n can_v and_o do_v and_o will_v do_v it_o unto_o his_o child_n therefore_o let_v we_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o whatever_o we_o undergo_v say_v most_o glad_o therefore_o will_v i_o rather_o glory_n in_o my_o infirmity_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v rest_v upon_o i_o here_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o a_o paul_n indeed_o a_o most_o saintlike_a spirit_n the_o very_a spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v in_o heaven_n that_o have_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o influence_n from_o god_n and_o impression_n of_o god_n spirit_n upon_o his_o heart_n most_o glad_o therefore_o will_v i_o glory_v in_o my_o infirmity_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v rest_v upon_o i_o sometime_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 6._o galathian_n 14_o god_n forbid_v i_o shall_v glory_v in_o anything_o but_o in_o christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v but_o this_o be_v very_o consistent_a he_o therefore_o glory_v in_o his_o infirmity_n in_o reference_n to_o christ_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v rest_v upon_o he_o he_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v any_o thing_n or_o worse_o than_o nothing_o and_o notglory_n in_o those_o multitude_n of_o revelation_n and_o discovery_n that_o be_v make_v to_o he_o but_o he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o glory_n in_o his_o reproach_n necessity_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v dwell_v there_o let_v my_o weakness_n appear_v so_o christ_n strength_n may_v appear_v for_o he_o say_v afterwards_o grot._n when_o i_o be_o weak_a i_o be_o strong_a when_o i_o be_o most_o weak_a in_o myself_o than_o jesus_n christ_n be_v most_o strong_a when_o i_o be_o most_o debase_v in_o myself_o jesus_n christ_n be_v then_o most_o exalt_v in_o my_o soul_n and_o thus_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o strait_n which_o will_v be_v no_o strait_a to_o you_o or_o i_o or_o most_o in_o the_o world_n whether_o he_o shall_v live_v or_o die_v i_o be_o in_o a_o great_a strait_n say_v paul_n i_o have_v rather_o for_o myself_o be_v dissolve_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n 21._o that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v he_o but_o for_o you_o i_o have_v rather_o be_v debar_v of_o those_o joy_n for_o a_o while_n o_o here_o be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v kind_o humble_v and_o most_o ingeniously-affected_a towards_o christ_n the_o lord_n if_o it_o be_v his_o will_n out_o of_o the_o rich_a treasure_n of_o his_o grace_n vouchsafe_v the_o same_o mercy_n to_o you_o and_o i_o that_o at_o least_o we_o may_v look_v and_o reach_v and_o labour_n to_o climb_v and_o creep_v by_o degree_n after_o this_o that_o we_o may_v so_o far_o love_v jesus_n christ_n better_o than_o ourselves_o that_o we_o will_v not_o only_o glory_n in_o the_o revelation_n we_o have_v and_o the_o mercy_n we_o have_v and_o the_o part_n we_o have_v and_o the_o success_n and_o acceptance_n these_o be_v plausible_a and_o comfortable_a thing_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v keep_v low_a if_o god_n shall_v visit_v we_o with_o humble_v provividence_n if_o god_n shall_v eclipse_v our_o credit_n or_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v disparage_v that_o we_o may_v say_v hearty_o o_o lord_n i_o therefore_o will_v glory_v in_o my_o
