which_o follow_v the_o spirit_n break_v forth_o and_o say_v amen_o even_o so_o come_v lord_n jesus_n a_o little_a of_o amen_o christ_n be_v say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o book_n to_o be_v amen_o the_o true_a and_o faithful_a witness_n revel_v 3._o 14._o 14._o and_o all_o the_o promise_n be_v say_v in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v yea_o and_o amen_o 2_o cor._n 1._o 20._o 20._o that_o be_v

because_o there_o be_v a_o suitableness_n of_o disposition_n and_o 1_o a_o kind_n of_o connaturalnesse_n between_o a_o sanctify_a heart_n and_o sanctify_a truth_n between_o a_o holy_a heart_n and_o

that_o he_o have_v a_o amen_o for_o it_o present_o there_o be_v a_o sweet_a relish_n 2._o in_o all_o divine_a truth_n and_o suitable_a to_o the_o sweetness_n in_o they_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a

there_o be_v no_o relish_n in_o they_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o his_o child_n work_v a_o taste_n of_o the_o sweetness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v a_o

of_o a_o contract_n be_v the_o sweet_a covenant_n now_o in_o it_o there_o must_v be_v a_o consent_n on_o our_o part_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n always_o stir_v up_o a_o amen_o on_o our_o part_n too_o when_o he_o say_v amen_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o then_o the_o soul_n say_v amen_o lord_n let_v it_o be_v so_o as_o in_o civil_a marriage_n there_o be_v a_o contract_n so_o here_o in_o the_o spiritual_a and_o see_v there_o be_v a_o contract_n there_o be_v also_o a_o assent_n to_o the_o second_o come_v of_o christ_n the_o contract_a spouse_n must_v needs_o say_v amen_o to_o the_o marriage-day_n last_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 5._o in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o child_n stir_v up_o in_o they_o this_o amen_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o their_o effectual_a call_n if_o you_o

your_o backslide_n behold_v we_o come_v unto_o thou_o for_o thou_o be_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n unless_o there_o be_v thus_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n there_o be_v no_o effectual_a

in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n belove_a if_o this_o be_v so_o i_o use_v beseech_v you_o let_v we_o beg_v of_o god_n if_o we_o find_v any_o stubbornness_n or_o renitencie_n in_o our_o soul_n to_o divine_a truth_n the_o performance_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n lord_n thou_o have_v promise_v fleshy_a and_o sensible_a heart_n tender_a and_o yield_a affection_n oh_o now_o grant_v they_o and_o work_v they_o for_o belove_a this_o you_o note_n must_v know_v howsoever_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o by_o way_n of_o covenant_n yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o perform_v the_o covenant_n he_o work_v in_o a_o manner_n our_o part_n and_o his_o own_o too_o in_o effect_n he_o make_v a_o testament_n and_o not_o a_o covenant_n in_o a_o testament_n we_o bequeath_v we_o do_v not_o covenant_n and_o condition_n so_o that_o though_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o people_n by_o way_n of_o covenant_n as_o if_o you_o repent_v if_o you_o believe_v if_o you_o obey_v yet_o he_o give_v by_o way_n of_o testament_n the_o grace_n that_o he_o bestow_v therefore_o beg_v of_o god_n that_o as_o he_o require_v this_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v assent_v and_o be_v pliable_a unto_o his_o word_n so_o that_o he_o will_v make_v his_o covenant_n a_o testament_n and_o a_o will_n i_o mean_v that_o he_o will_v effectual_o work_v it_o and_o make_v we_o to_o do_v it_o this_o shall_v be_v our_o desire_n of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o first_o because_o god_n 1._o honour_v we_o by_o it_o in_o have_v our_o consent_n be_v not_o this_o a_o great_a honour_n to_o we_o that_o he_o will_v not_o perform_v thing_n without_o our_o consent_n for_o indeed_o he_o will_v not_o accomplish_v the_o work_n of_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n without_o it_o but_o then_o if_o we_o set_v our_o seal_n to_o god_n seal_n and_o we_o consent_v once_o we_o even_o bind_v god_n himself_o when_o he_o seal_v to_o we_o and_o we_o to_o he_o we_o bind_v god_n almighty_a and_o by_o that_o power_n of_o faith_n subdue_v hell_n and_o all_o our_o opposite_a enemy_n when_o we_o seal_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o cry_v amen_o it_o be_v a_o word_n that_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n there_o be_v not_o a_o joyfull_a word_n in_o the_o world_n then_o when_o whole_a congregation_n can_v say_v and_o shout_n amen_o when_o god_n say_v amen_o in_o heaven_n if_o we_o present_o can_v say_v amen_o to_o his_o truth_n upon_o earth_n he_o will_v say_v amen_o to_o our_o salvation_n thus_o god_n honour_v we_o by_o it_o when_o he_o come_v for_o our_o consent_n we_o 2._o honour_v god_n again_o by_o our_o seal_n to_o his_o truth_n faith_n be_v that_o which_o seal_v to_o god_n truth_n and_o amen_o be_v the_o very_a voice_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a thing_n sort_n but_o common_a in_o the_o world_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v no_o more_o credit_n with_o we_o poor_a distress_a soul_n will_v say_v amen_o to_o the_o lie_v of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o presumptuous_a person_n will_v say_v amen_o to_o a_o liar_n to_o a_o murderer_n to_o a_o enemy_n to_o satan_n but_o god_n have_v so_o little_a credit_n with_o we_o that_o if_o he_o command_v we_o will_v not_o say_v amen_o if_o he_o pro_fw-la mouse_n we_o have_v no_o amen_o for_o he_o if_o he_o threaten_v we_o bless_v ourselves_o say_v we_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o we_o shall_v have_v 19_o peace_n though_o we_o walk_v after_o the_o imagination_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n add_v drunkenness_n unto_o thirst_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v he_o will_v stir_v up_o a_o fire_n in_o his_o anger_n 22._o and_o his_o wrath_n shall_v burn_v unto_o the_o low_a hell_n against_o all_o such_o as_o go_v on_o in_o their_o sinful_a course_n yet_o they_o will_v flatter_v themselves_o well_o belove_v we_o may_v shake_v off_o god_n word_n in_o the_o ministry_n as_o profane_a person_n do_v but_o when_o god_n come_v in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o threaten_n than_o his_o wrath_n shall_v burn_v to_o hell_n and_o not_o be_v

to_o discern_v the_o bad_a and_o the_o more_o will_v our_o love_n to_o grace_v increase_n now_o the_o more_o light_n and_o life_n and_o love_n the_o more_o shall_v we_o be_v annoy_v carry_v about_o

the_o disposition_n of_o the_o best_a in_o this_o life_n therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o and_o every_o particular_a christian_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o conflict_a and_o afflict_a condition_n have_v we_o not_o cause_n to_o say_v amen_o come_v lord_n jesus_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o ground_n which_o the_o church_n have_v to_o say_v so_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n to_o try_v whether_o we_o can_v indeed_o express_v this_o desire_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o spouse_n that_o say_v come_v lord_n jesus_n let_v we_o see_v whether_o the_o spirit_n say_v so_o in_o we_o we_o shall_v not_o say_v much_o it_o may_v be_v know_v by_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a also_o beside_o therefore_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o let_v we_o try_v ourselves_o by_o this_o what_o benefit_n have_v we_o 1._o by_o the_o first_o come_v of_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n and_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n do_v that_o pardon_n our_o sin_n be_v our_o conscience_n besprinkle_v by_o that_o from_o dead_a work_n to_o 14._o serve_v the_o everliving_a god_n be_v our_o heart_n set_v at_o liberty_n to_o go_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n have_v we_o thus_o any_o benefit_n by_o his_o first_o come_n then_o we_o can_v but_o with_o a_o long_a and_o long_a expectation_n look_v for_o his_o second_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o that_o have_v no_o good_a by_o the_o first_o can_v

the_o adoption_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o adoption_n of_o our_o body_n the_o redemption_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o redemption_n of_o our_o body_n to_o show_v that_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v the_o true_a redemption_n and_o adoption_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o the_o redemption_n and_o adoption_n of_o the_o body_n will_v follow_v and_o a_o expectation_n thereof_o also_o christ_n will_v be_v redemption_n to_o we_o when_o he_o have_v be_v redemption_n to_o our_o fowl_n first_o in_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n look_v then_o to_o that_o first_o if_o we_o desire_v the_o second_o 2._o come_v of_o christ_n we_o will_v prepare_v for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o some_o great_a person_n and_o yet_o never_o think_v of_o any_o
