that_o you_o be_v not_o trouble_v how_o come_v you_o by_o that_o peace_n which_o you_o have_v have_v for_o these_o many_o year_n you_o have_v go_v on_o quiet_o and_o the_o term_n between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n have_v not_o trouble_v you_o but_o i_o this_o day_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n demand_n of_o you_o how_o come_v you_o to_o have_v this_o peace_n how_o come_v god_n and_o your_o soul_n to_o be_v friend_n this_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o be_v enemy_n to_o god_n if_o god_n have_v reveal_v any_o truth_n in_o this_o book_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o every_o one_o in_o this_o place_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n now_o then_o how_o you_o have_v make_v up_o your_o peace_n your_o have_v need_n look_v to_o it_o certain_o it_o must_v come_v by_o the_o gospel_n or_o else_o it_o be_v a_o delusion_n if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o treaty_n between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o treaty_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v the_o gospel_n reveal_v the_o great_a counsel_n of_o god_n unto_o you_o about_o this_o and_o the_o term_n upon_o which_o he_o will_v be_v reconcile_v and_o then_o your_o soul_n send_v up_o your_o answer_n to_o god_n how_o you_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o accept_v of_o those_o condition_n that_o be_v propound_v in_o the_o gospel_n i_o put_v this_o to_o your_o soul_n what_o treaty_n have_v there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o you_o have_v you_o find_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v powerful_a upon_o you_o and_o to_o bring_v this_o peace_n into_o you_o if_o it_o have_v not_o come_v in_o this_o way_n i_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o delusion_n and_o the_o great_a work_n of_o reconciliation_n between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n be_v to_o make_v up_o at_o this_o day_n but_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o first_o point_n but_o second_o 2_o your_o peace_n shall_v rest_v upon_o it_o shall_v rest_n that_o be_v whosoever_o entertain_v it_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v some_o sudden_a apprehension_n of_o those_o excellent_a thing_n that_o you_o bring_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v some_o flashie_a comfort_n in_o those_o thing_n and_o feel_v some_o present_a sweetness_n in_o they_o but_o the_o good_a and_o the_o blessing_n of_o that_o bless_a doctrine_n of_o peace_n it_o shall_v abide_v with_o they_o all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n and_o to_o all_o eternity_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n your_o peace_n shall_v rest_v upon_o they_o so_o that_o this_o be_v our_o point_n now_o that_o such_o as_o do_v entertain_v the_o gospel_n now_o what_o the_o entertainment_n be_v that_o be_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o son_n of_o peace_n that_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o work_n the_o last_o lord_n day_n but_o if_o you_o be_v such_o son_n of_o peace_n as_o be_v open_v to_o you_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o only_o grant_v you_o present_a apprehension_n of_o the_o glorious_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o some_o present_a sweetness_n but_o he_o will_v cause_n the_o blessing_n of_o it_o and_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o it_o to_o abide_v upon_o your_o spirit_n to_o continue_v there_o for_o your_o eternal_a good_a many_o upon_o the_o first_o hear_v of_o the_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n upon_o the_o first_o open_v of_o that_o bless_a doctrine_n have_v their_o heart_n take_v and_o begin_v

they_o do_v apprehend_v do_v not_o abide_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o stony_a ground_n in_o mat._n 13._o 20_o 21._o but_o he_o that_o receive_v the_o seed_n into_o stony_a place_n the_o same_o be_v he_o

it_o in_o a_o little_a way_n and_o that_o with_o joy_n he_o have_v some_o present_a taste_n of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o word_n he_o take_v it_o in_o with_o joy_n but_o it_o do_v not_o rest_n

joy_n o_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a gospel_n that_o we_o hear_v this_o be_v a_o bless_a ministry_n indeed_o that_o we_o enjoy_v but_o mark_v it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o while_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o word_n it_o do_v but_o abide_v a_o little_a while_n it_o do_v not_o rest_n in_o they_o so_o in_o luke_n 14._o there_o upon_o the_o preach_a of_o christ_n the_o text_n say_v in_o ver_fw-la 15._o that_o when_o one_o of_o they_o that_o sit_v at_o meat_n with_o he_o hear_v these_o thing_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o bless_a be_v he_o that_o shall_v eat_v bread_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n when_o christ_n have_v be_v preach_v unto_o they_o about_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n mark_n there_o be_v some_o of_o his_o auditor_n that_o be_v take_v with_o his_o preach_v o_o bless_a be_v he_o that_o shall_v have_v communion_n with_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o you_o may_v observe_v by_o the_o very_a word_n that_o follow_v after_o the_o parable_n that_o christ_n use_v that_o even_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o affect_v and_o take_v be_v such_o as_o prize_v their_o ox_n and_o farm_n and_o other_o thing_n above_o the_o gospel_n and_o have_v that_o doom_n pronounce_v upon_o they_o that_o those_o man_n that_o be_v bid_v shall_v not_o taste_v of_o the_o supper_n and_o so_o in_o john_n 5._o 35._o it_o be_v speak_v concern_v john_n he_o be_v a_o burn_a and_o a_o shine_a light_n and_o you_o be_v willing_a for_o a_o season_n to_o rejoice_v in_o his_o light_n mark_n john_n be_v a_o admirable_a preacher_n he_o come_v as_o the_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n and_o preach_v repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n john_n do_v open_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n unto_o his_o hearer_n and_o they_o be_v mighty_o take_v with_o he_o but_o now_o mark_v what_o the_o text_n say_v for_o a_o little_a time_n they_o do_v rejoice_v in_o the_o light_n but_o they_o do_v not_o continue_v and_o in_o john_n 8._o there_o you_o have_v a_o notable_a place_n concern_v christ_n preach_v unto_o the_o jew_n and_o christ_n do_v preach_v so_o as_o do_v take_v their_o heart_n in_o some_o measure_n the_o text_n say_v that_o some_o of_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o ver_fw-la 13._o as_o he_o speak_v those_o word_n many_o believe_v on_o he_o but_o mark_n what_o christ_n say_v in_o ver_fw-la 31._o then_o say_v jesus_n to_o those_o jew_n which_o believe_v on_o he_o if_o you_o continue_v in_o my_o word_n then_o be_v you_o my_o disciple_n indeed_o mark_v christ_n will_v not_o own_v they_o to_o be_v his_o disciple_n though_o their_o heart_n be_v take_v with_o what_o he_o preach_v but_o upon_o these_o term_n if_o you_o continue_v in_o my_o word_n which_o be_v all_o one_o if_o the_o word_n abide_v in_o you_o and_o you_o abide_v in_o the_o word_n then_o be_v you_o my_o disciple_n i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o christ_n do_v not_o own_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o be_v his_o disciple_n mere_o because_o of_o some_o sudden_a flash_n of_o affection_n because_o they_o be_v take_v with_o the_o word_n and_o perhaps_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o word_n and_o stir_v for_o a_o time_n i_o say_v christ_n do_v not_o own_v they_o to_o be_v disciple_n except_o that_o his_o word_n abide_v in_o they_o and_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o word_n and_o in_o gal._n 4._o you_o have_v a_o most_o excellent_a text_n for_o this_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n show_v there_o that_o the_o galatian_n be_v mighty_o take_v with_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n at_o first_o when_o paul_n come_v among_o they_o but_o it_o seem_v in_o great_a part_n it_o vanish_v from_o they_o ver_fw-la 15._o say_v paul_n where_o be_v

the_o gospel_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o for_o the_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o close_a mercy_n a_o great_a mercy_n than_o to_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o body_n of_o a_o woman_n in_o luke_n 11._o 27._o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o he_o speak_v these_o thing_n a_o certain_a woman_n lift_v up_o her_o voice_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o blessed_n be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n which_o thou_o have_v suck_v but_o he_o say_v yea_o rather_o bless_a be_v they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o those_o that_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o shall_v keep_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o not_o let_v it_o vanish_v away_o from_o they_o but_o keep_v it_o i_o say_v in_o their_o power_n and_o life_n upon_o their_o heart_n they_o be_v rather_o bless_v than_o the_o womb_n be_v bless_v that_o bare_a jesus_n christ_n or_o than_o the_o pap_n be_v bless_v that_o

now_o have_v a_o great_a blessing_n than_o if_o she_o have_v bear_v jesus_n christ_n in_o her_o womb._n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n to_o have_v the_o bless_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o soul_n after_o the_o hear_n of_o they_o and_o further_o a_o great_a mercy_n because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o wonderful_a power_n in_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o the_o

cause_n to_o fear_v the_o work_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n only_o if_o we_o can_v but_o procure_v this_o that_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o speak_v may_v but_o abide_v upon_o their_o heart_n if_o we_o be_v but_o sure_a that_o what_o we_o deliver_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n will_v but_o abide_v upon_o their_o spirit_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v the_o work_n upon_o any_o soul_n live_v let_v they_o be_v never_o so_o vile_a there_o be_v such_o a_o mighty_a power_n and_o efficacy_n in_o those_o bless_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v reveal_v and_o so_o
