christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n they_o commemorate_v god_n as_o take_v flesh_n and_o suffering_n in_o that_o flesh_n for_o their_o good_a o_o there_o be_v mercy_n indeed_o a_o mystery_n indeed_o 4._o whereas_o the_o gentile_n in_o their_o mystery_n pretend_v such_o and_o such_o apparition_n of_o their_o god_n in_o opposition_n to_o these_o the_o apostle_n set_v down_o the_o great_a and_o

not_o a_o appearance_n only_o but_o a_o real_a assumption_n there_o be_v a_o mystery_n indeed_o in_o these_o respect_v the_o apostle_n advance_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o christian_a religion_n above_o those_o which_o the_o blind_a gentile_n be_v such_o admirer_n of_o in_o their_o idolatrous_a way_n well!_o we_o who_o know_v and_o believe_v these_o thing_n what_o high_a thought_n shall_v we_o have_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o christian_a religion_n how_o shall_v we_o adore_v and_o magnify_v god_n for_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n to_o we_o in_o bring_v of_o we_o under_o that_o revelation_n and_o that_o faith_n wherein_o this_o unparalleled_a mystery_n of_o a_o christ_n incarnate_a be_v make_v know_v and_o embrace_v christ_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o manhood_n of_o christ_n 2._o second_o this_o further_a inform_v we_o of_o the_o excellency_n and_o glory_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o manhood_n from_o the_o premise_n it_o

even_o then_o it_o be_v full_a of_o glory_n though_o the_o fullness_n of_o its_o glory_n do_v not_o appear_v as_o the_o sun_n be_v very_o glorious_a even_o when_o it_o be_v hide_v under_o a_o cloud_n

he_o shall_v very_o much_o keep_v in_o its_o glory_n for_o we_o see_v when_o at_o his_o transfiguration_n he_o let_v it_o break_v forth_o in_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a manner_n the_o beholder_n thereof_o can_v not_o well_o bear_v it_o it_o fill_v they_o with_o consternation_n read_v matth._n 17.1_o etc._n etc._n but_o yet_o upon_o its_o miraculous_a frame_n its_o unstained_a and_o
