latitude_n and_o profundity_n the_o love_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v altitude_n add_v which_o be_v a_o four_o all_o these_o dimension_n serve_v only_o to_o show_v the_o immensity_n both_o of_o the_o love_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n take_v this_o only_a in_o passage_n and_o so_o we_o may_v that_o expression_n too_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n the_o

but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o urge_v this_o text_n for_o the_o passage_n which_o be_v to_o my_o purpose_n and_o which_o i_o will_v insist_v on_o a_o little_a be_v that_o in_o verse_n 19_o the_o late_a part_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n divine_n distinguish_v of_o a_o twofold_a fullness_n there_o be_v say_v they_o a_o universal_a fullness_n and_o there_o be_v a_o modify_v or_o qualify_v fullness_n for_o a_o creature_n to_o be_v universal_o so_o full_a as_o god_n be_v be_v impossible_a as_o he_o be_v infinite_a so_o his_o fullness_n be_v infinite_a and_o a_o finite_a creature_n be_v not_o capable_a or_o receptive_a of_o any_o such_o fullness_n but_o now_o take_v this_o in_o a_o qualify_a or_o modify_v sense_n so_o we_o may_v and_o it_o be_v ordinary_a to_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n i._n e._n with_o all_o fullness_n accomplishable_a or_o attainable_a by_o we_o thus_o we_o ought_v to_o

for_o the_o exercise_n and_o improvement_n of_o faith_n we_o shall_v learn_v every_o day_n to_o live_v by_o faith_n let_v faith_n be_v upon_o the_o wing_n in_o all_o the_o occasion_n and_o

4._o we_o must_v grow_v in_o mercy_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o mercy_n 2_o cor._n 8.7_o therefore_o as_o you_o abound_v in_o every_o thing_n in_o say_v in_o utterance_n in_o knowledge_n and_o in_o

this_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o by_o these_o few_o link_n you_o may_v guess_v at_o the_o whole_a chain_n or_o series_n of_o this_o grace_n so_o then_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o second_o motive_n lie_v thus_o god_n require_v and_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v grow_v up_o more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o his_o name_n he_o call_v for_o it_o at_o our_o hand_n in_o the_o three_o place_n this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o union_n with_o and_o implantation_n into_o jesus_n christ_n namely_o that_o we_o shall_v in_o all_o thing_n grow_v up_o into_o he_o who_o be_v the_o head_n to_o which_o purpose_n read_v eph._n 4.15_o 16._o but_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n may_v grow_v up_o into_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o head_n even_o christ_n from_o who_o the_o whole_a body_n fit_o join_v together_o and_o compact_v by_o that_o which_o every_o joint_n supply_v according_a to_o the_o effectual_a work_n in_o the_o measure_n of_o every_o part_n make_v increase_v of_o the_o body_n unto_o the_o edify_n of_o itself_o in_o love_n the_o importance_n of_o which_o word_n be_v this_o namely_o that_o we_o be_v join_v and_o unite_v unto_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o so_o of_o his_o fullness_n we_o may_v all_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n that_o look_n as_o a_o infant_n grow_v not_o in_o one_o but_o in_o every_o member_n so_o we_o shall_v grow_v every_o way_n in_o every_o member_n and_o in_o every_o particular_a grace_n appertain_v unto_o the_o new_a creature_n we_o must_v not_o walk_v by_o half_n or_o obey_v god_n with_o reservation_n but_o grow_v up_o unto_o full_a holiness_n as_o from_o the_o natural_a head_n sense_n and_o motion_n flow_v into_o the_o body_n so_o there_o be_v internal_a influence_n of_o grace_n from_o christ_n the_o head_n into_o the_o whole_a mystical_a body_n every_o true_a believer_n receive_v a_o vital_a and_o quicken_a power_n or_o virtue_n from_o christ_n even_o as_o a_o graft_n set_v into_o a_o stock_n partake_v with_o it_o in_o the_o sap_n and_o life_n of_o it_o unless_o we_o walk_v in_o christ_n we_o can_v never_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v christ_n if_o we_o shall_v sit_v down_o and_o rest_n in_o a_o mediocrity_n and_o scanty_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n except_o we_o be_v still_o on_o the_o grow_a hand_n labour_v to_o arrive_v to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n we_o can_v say_v that_o we_o be_v yet_o put_v into_o christ_n a_o soul_n as_o one_o note_n very_o well_o that_o have_v union_n with_o christ_n will_v not_o be_v like_o hezekiahs_n sun_n which_o go_v backward_o or_o like_o joshua_n sun_n that_o stand_v still_o but_o like_o david_n sun_n that_o great_a and_o glorious_a giant_n of_o the_o heaven_n that_o like_o a_o bridegroom_n come_v out_o of_o his_o chamber_n and_o as_o a_o champion_n that_o rejoice_v to_o run_v a_o race_n if_o he_o be_v join_v to_o christ_n he_o will_v join_v grace_n to_o grace_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 2_o pet._n 1.5_o 6_o 7._o and_o thus_o brief_o of_o the_o three_o motive_n in_o the_o four_o place_n as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o son_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v grow_v up_o in_o his_o fear_n so_o have_v be_v to_o the_o same_o end_n give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n he_o have_v send_v forth_o his_o spirit_n into_o our_o heart_n not_o only_o for_o the_o convey_n of_o grace_n to_o we_o but_o for_o the_o strengthen_n and_o increase_v of_o grace_n in_o we_o observe_v how_o the_o apostle_n pray_v for_o the_o ephesian_n chap._n 3.16_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o might_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n this_o be_v the_o very_a office_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n to_o this_o purpose_n not_o only_o to_o give_v we_o a_o be_v in_o grace_n but_o to_o strengthen_v we_o in_o grace_n he_o do_v not_o only_o make_v we_o new_a man_n but_o live_a man_n in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n so_o be_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o soul_n the_o spirit_n furnish_v and_o enable_v every_o faculty_n it_o enlighten_v the_o understanding_n it_o rectify_v the_o will_n it_o sanctifi_v the_o affection_n it_o fill_v a_o man_n
