so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n man_n that_o be_v wise_a to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o and_o to_o lay_v out_o their_o money_n for_o their_o best_a advantage_n for_o a_o purchase_n if_o they_o see_v it_o be_v well_o wooded_a and_o all_o the_o stock_n go_v into_o the_o bargain_n especial_o if_o there_o be_v some_o golden_a mine_n all_o their_o mind_n will_v be_v upon_o that_o purchase_n because_o if_o they_o have_v that_o they_o have_v all_o in_o that_o so_o it_o be_v here_o get_v this_o grace_n and_o get_v all_o strengthen_v this_o and_o strengthen_v all_o nourish_v this_o and_o nourish_v all_o want_v this_o and_o want_v all_o once_o get_v this_o and_o then_o you_o need_v not_o seek_v for_o wisdom_n for_o faith_n will_v make_v you_o wise_a it_o will_v bring_v holiness_n with_o it_o to_o purge_v you_o ah_o the_o golden_a mine_n of_o mercy_n and_o salvation_n do_v all_o attend_v upon_o the_o purchase_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n with_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o man_n body_n a_o man_n have_v a_o especial_a care_n of_o his_o stomach_n and_o liver_n because_o the_o stomach_n digest_v his_o meat_n and_o the_o liver_n make_v blood_n and_o

and_o get_v all_o 2_o corin._n 3.18_o we_o all_o with_o open_a face_n behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v change_v into_o the_o same_o image_n from_o glory_n to_o

therefore_o first_o we_o must_v behold_v grace_n before_o we_o can_v receive_v it_o first_o see_v humility_n in_o christ_n and_o then_o fetch_v it_o and_o there_o see_v courage_n to_o put_v mettle_n into_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v cowardly_a second_o as_o all_o grace_n come_v by_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o close_v with_o christ_n and_o from_o christ_n receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n as_o the_o seal_n leave_v the_o same_o impression_n upon_o the_o wax_n that_o be_v upon_o itself_o so_o second_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o and_o make_v conqueror_n over_o all_o

this_o only_a faith_n can_v do_v every_o man_n labour_v for_o mastery_n and_o victory_n this_o be_v the_o white_a that_o every_o man_n shoot_v at_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o pitch_a field_n though_o
