by_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o be_v difficult_a for_o he_o to_o learn_v who_o shall_v consider_v what_o that_o spirit_n be_v which_o he_o and_o indeed_o all_o christian_a writer_n commend_v to_o our_o desire_n and_o endeavour_n or_o who_o they_o be_v who_o st._n paul_n invite_v to_o get_v themselves_o replenish_v with_o it_o because_o it_o be_v certain_a on_o the_o one_o hand_n that_o the_o only_a spirit_n which_o either_o he_o or_o they_o commend_v to_o we_o be_v that_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o do_v as_o this_o day_n descend_v upon_o the_o church_n or_o rather_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o it_o and_o no_o less_o certain_a on_o the_o other_o because_o st._n paul_n direct_v this_o exhortation_n of_o he_o to_o the_o community_n of_o the_o ephesian_n that_o he_o mean_v such_o gift_n or_o grace_n of_o that_o spirit_n as_o be_v common_a to_o all_o believer_n or_o at_o least_o intend_a by_o god_n to_o be_v so_o 2._o but_o because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o even_o those_o gift_n or_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v many_o and_o various_a and_o no_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o we_o to_o understand_v st._n paul_n of_o all_o alike_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a as_o will_v appear_v by_o and_o by_o from_o what_o precede_v and_o follow_v his_o exhortation_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o they_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o i_o to_o go_v on_o to_o inquire_v for_o what_o end_n he_o exhort_v we_o to_o endeavour_v after_o such_o a_o fill_v as_o which_o alone_o will_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v what_o gift_n and_o grace_n he_o especial_o intend_v now_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v to_o affirm_v to_o be_v the_o either_o exciting_a or_o maintain_v in_o we_o the_o passion_n of_o joy_n a_o passion_n which_o religion_n do_v not_o only_o not_o forbid_v but_o enjoin_v upon_o we_o and_o commend_v to_o we_o as_o without_o which_o religion_n itself_o will_v be_v very_o uneasy_a to_o we_o but_o however_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v up_o under_o those_o many_o evil_n which_o either_o religion_n itself_o or_o the_o present_a dispensation_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o bring_v upon_o we_o now_o as_o for_o that_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o religion_n itself_o do_v so_o often_o endeavour_v to_o stir_v up_o this_o passion_n of_o joy_n in_o we_o and_o indeed_o never_o profess_v any_o the_o least_o enmity_n to_o it_o save_v where_o it_o be_v either_o misplace_v or_o immoderate_a so_o we_o shall_v find_v if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o context_n that_o it_o be_v st._n paul_n great_a design_n in_o this_o place_n to_o stir_v up_o and_o keep_v alive_a in_o we_o this_o passion_n of_o joy_n and_o make_v it_o acceptable_a to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o beneficial_a to_o ourselves_o for_o wherefore_o else_o shall_v st._n paul_n exhort_v that_o man_n shall_v rather_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n than_o drink_v with_o wine_n as_o that_o too_o in_o order_n to_o their_o sing_v and_o make_v melody_n but_o that_o he_o mean_v to_o direct_v they_o to_o a_o proper_a mean_n for_o the_o exciting_a of_o their_o joy_n and_o such_o as_o shall_v give_v they_o a_o much_o more_o innocent_a as_o well_o as_o more_o excellent_a one_o than_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o drunkard_n do_v to_o he_o or_o wherefore_o insist_v as_o he_o do_v upon_o their_o speak_n to_o one_o another_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n sing_v and_o make_v melody_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n these_o as_o they_o be_v the_o natural_a expression_n of_o joy_n and_o according_o direct_v to_o by_o st._n james_n 5.13_o james_n jam._n 5.13_o when_o a_o man_n be_v under_o the_o sensation_n of_o it_o so_o the_o fomenter_n and_o maintainer_n of_o it_o that_o i_o say_v
