some_o of_o the_o heathen_n have_v of_o divine_a thing_n what_o reprobate_a and_o malicious_a judgement_n they_o have_v how_o base_o they_o esteem_v of_o the_o jew_n tully_n the_o jewish_a nation_n say_v tully_n show_v how_o god_n regard_v they_o in_o that_o she_o have_v be_v overcome_v so_o oft_o by_o nabuchadnezzar_n and_o pompey_n etc._n etc._n what_o a_o reason_n be_v this_o and_o that_o proud_a historian_n tacitus_n tacitus_n how_o scornful_o do_v he_o speak_v of_o christian_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o the_o heathen_n against_o the_o jewish_a religion_n especial_o the_o christian_a religion_n how_o they_o scorn_v and_o persecute_v it_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o so_o you_o see_v in_o the_o best_a of_o the_o heathen_a man_n there_o be_v matter_n and_o ground_n of_o god_n just_a condemn_v of_o they_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o quarrel_v with_o god_n against_o that_o object_n but_o here_o be_v another_o mystery_n why_o the_o gentile_n be_v all_o alike_o naught_o gentile_n god_n shall_v leave_v the_o better_a of_o the_o gentile_n and_o reveal_v christ_n to_o the_o worst_a be_v not_o socrates_n and_o plato_n and_o such_o

such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o here_o be_v a_o mystery_n answer_n it_o be_v god_n sovereignty_n we_o must_v let_v god_n do_v what_o he_o will_v he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o who_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a and_o he_o will_v neglect_v who_o he_o will_v say_v austin_n we_o must_v be_v very_o reverend_a in_o these_o matter_n it_o be_v most_o safe_a to_o commit_v all_o to_o god_n and_o usurp_v no_o judgement_n here_o it_o be_v a_o mystery_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o satisfy_a reason_n may_v be_v give_v why_o the_o gentile_n be_v call_v when_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o not_o before_o beside_o many_o prophecy_n foretell_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o some_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v why_o it_o be_v so_o because_o they_o be_v to_o be_v incorporate_a to_o the_o jew_n come_v to_o be_v fellow-citizen_n with_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n they_o be_v to_o be_v of_o god_n household_n as_o it_o be_v excellent_o and_o large_o set_v down_o in_o ephes._n 2._o 2._o now_o christ_n come_v take_v down_o the_o partition-wall_n christ_n be_v the_o centre_n in_o who_o they_o meet_v in_o who_o they_o be_v one_o therefore_o they_o meet_v one_o with_o another_o when_o christ_n come_v because_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o both_o he_o be_v the_o cornerstone_n whereupon_o both_o be_v build_v so_o that_o now_o they_o be_v fellow-citizen_n since_o christ_n come_v and_o you_o see_v in_o the_o genealogy_n of_o christ_n gentile_n he_o come_v both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n as_o we_o see_v in_o ruth_n divers_a of_o our_o saviour_n ancestor_n they_o be_v gentile_n as_o well_o as_o jew_n to_o show_v that_o he_o that_o come_v of_o both_o he_o come_v to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o both_o but_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o these_o quaere_n to_o rest_v in_o the_o wise_a unsearchable_a dispensation_n of_o god_n and_o rather_o be_v thankful_a that_o god_n have_v reserve_v we_o to_o these_o time_n and_o place_n of_o knowledge_n then_o to_o ask_v why_o our_o forefather_n do_v not_o know_v christ._n gospel_n we_o enjoy_v a_o double_a spring_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o first_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o heathenism_n what_o kind_n of_o people_n be_v we_o in_o julius_n caesar_n time_n barbarous_a people_n and_o after_o when_o popery_n come_v in_o god_n deliver_v we_o from_o that_o there_o be_v a_o second_o spring_n yet_o how_o few_o give_v god_n praise_n that_o have_v have_v mercy_n on_o we_o gentile_n that_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o gentilism_n and_o from_o the_o darkness_n of_o popery_n but_o we_o grow_v weary_a of_o religion_n as_o they_o do_v of_o manna_n gospel_n let_v we_o therefore_o make_v good_a use_n of_o it_o that_o god_n have_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o gentile_n in_o these_o late_a time_n and_o let_v we_o that_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o precinct_n of_o the_o church_n help_v our_o faith_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n this_o way_n certain_o god_n mean_v well_o to_o my_o soul_n i_o may_v have_v be_v bear_v before_o in_o time_n of_o ignorance_n and_o place_n of_o ignorance_n and_o never_o have_v hear_v of_o christ_n but_o i_o have_v be_v baptize_v and_o admit_v into_o the_o church_n and_o by_o that_o there_o be_v a_o obligation_n before_o i_o understand_v myself_o i_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n god_n be_v so_o careful_a of_o my_o

live_v so_o much_o as_o to_o hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n thus_o we_o shall_v gather_v upon_o god_n as_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n do_v upon_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o fight_v against_o all_o distrust_n and_o unbelief_n and_o all_o temptation_n of_o satan_n that_o present_a god_n as_o though_o he_o care_v not_o for_o we_o there_o can_v be_v too_o much_o art_n and_o skill_n to_o help_v our_o faith_n this_o way_n again_o the_o gentile_n have_v now_o interest_n in_o christ_n since_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o before_o it_o be_v a_o mystery_n it_o be_v not_o a_o mystery_n if_o the_o gentile_n have_v have_v interest_n in_o christ_n and_o be_v within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n before_o there_o be_v several_a degree_n of_o the_o dispensation_n of_o salvation_n salvation_n there_o be_v first_o the_o ordain_v of_o salvation_n that_o be_v before_o all_o world_n and_o then_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v when_o adam_n fall_v then_o there_o be_v the_o procure_n of_o salvation_n promise_v that_o be_v by_o christ_n when_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n then_o there_o be_v the_o promulgation_n and_o enlarge_n of_o salvation_n to_o all_o people_n this_o be_v after_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n then_o there_o be_v the_o perfect_a consummation_n of_o salvation_n in_o heaven_n now_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o

then_o i_o do_v but_o touch_v this_o to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o this_o latter_a age_n of_o the_o world_n some_o account_n the_o fi●st_a age_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o golden_a age_n the_o next_o silver_n and_o then_o a_o iron_n age_n but_o indeed_o we_o may_v invert_v the_o order_n we_o live_v in_o the_o golden_a age_n the_o last_o age_n when_o christ_n be_v manifest_v what_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o time_n and_o place_n the_o manifestation_n of_o christ._n the_o more_o christ_n be_v lay_v open_a with_o his_o unsearchable_a riches_n the_o more_o god_n glorify_v those_o time_n and_o place_n and_o that_o be_v the_o golden_a age_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v therefore_o we_o can_v be_v too_o much_o thankful_a for_o that_o wondrous_a favour_n that_o we_o have_v enjoy_v so_o long_a time_n together_o under_o the_o glorious_a sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n people_n hence_o we_o have_v a_o ground_n likewise_o of_o enlarge_a the_o gospel_n to_o all_o people_n because_o the_o gentile_n now_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n that_o merchant_n and_o those_o that_o give_v themselves_o to_o navigation_n they_o may_v with_o

it_o must_v be_v no_o ordinary_a mercy_n it_o be_v true_a god_n mercy_n be_v no_o ordinary_a thing_n of_o all_o attribute_n he_o will_v triumph_v in_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o
