the_o better_o speak_v unto_o the_o heart_n of_o other_o and_o so_o god_n in_o wisdom_n rather_o commit_v the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n to_o man_n than_o angel_n but_o a_o three_o be_v this_o and_o that_o be_v a_o special_a one_o that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n may_v the_o more_o appear_v in_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o this_o one_o thing_n the_o power_n of_o god_n do_v appear_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o in_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n first_o the_o doctrine_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v the_o most_o high_a supernatural_a thing_n

be_v in_o a_o poor_a weak_a frail_a vessel_n man_n a_o contemptible_a vessel_n we_o have_v this_o pearl_n and_o why_o so_o the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o power_n may_v be_v of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o we_o there_o be_v a_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o go_v together_o with_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n whensoever_o any_o soul_n be_v bring_v home_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n certain_o there_o go_v a_o mighty_a power_n yea_o there_o go_v a_o hyperbolical_a power_n together_o with_o it_o object_n but_o how_o will_v this_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o go_v with_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n it_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v such_o mighty_a thing_n do_v by_o such_o poor_a weak_a and_o contemptible_a mean_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o their_o very_a life_n and_o bear_v the_o great_a torment_n of_o the_o most_o cruel_a tyrant_n and_o that_o for_o the_o witness_n of_o this_o truth_n now_o this_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o secret_a answer_n to_o any_o objection_n in_o 3_o cor._n be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v far_o more_o glorious_a than_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v in_o such_o a_o mean_a condition_n so_o much_o mean_a than_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v a_o high_a priest_n and_o he_o have_v glorious_a robe_n and_o have_v precious_a stone_n upon_o his_o breast_n and_o shoulder_n now_o we_o have_v no_o such_o thing_n here_o be_v a_o company_n of_o poor_a fisherman_n weak_a mean_a man_n that_o the_o world_n regard_v not_o sure_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n be_v more_o glorious_a than_o these_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n no_o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o all_o this_o we_o have_v this_o treasure_n in_o earthen_a vessel_n that_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n may_v appear_v and_o not_o of_o man_n and_o we_o be_v willing_a as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n may_v appear_v more_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n may_v shine_v bright_a we_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v earthen_a vessel_n another_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o why_o god_n commit_v this_o ministry_n to_o poor_a men_n rather_o than_o to_o angel_n sure_o god_n have_v a_o further_a end_n than_o we_o imagine_v it_o be_v in_o just_a judgement_n to_o be_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n who_o heart_n be_v opposite_a unto_o the_o glorious_a gospel_n that_o as_o we_o know_v christ_n say_v he_o preach_v in_o parable_n that_o in_o see_v they_o may_v not_o see_v and_o in_o hear_v they_o may_v not_o understand_v as_o a_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n against_o the_o pharisee_n and_o other_o who_o heart_n be_v wicked_a and_o unclean_a and_o opposite_a unto_o christ_n that_o the_o glorious_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v hide_v under_o those_o parable_n so_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o the_o world_n count_v foolishness_n and_o the_o mean_a condition_n of_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v make_v by_o god_n as_o a_o stumble_a block_n to_o ungodly_a man_n who_o god_n intend_v shall_v perish_v eternal_o because_o their_o heart_n be_v wicked_a and_o perverse_a &_o i_o hate_v they_o say_v god_n therefore_o will_v hide_v this_o rich_a treasure_n from_o they_o but_o those_o that_o i_o love_v i_o will_v open_v the_o inside_n unto_o they_o but_o other_o shall_v have_v nothing_o but_o the_o outside_n they_o shall_v only_o have_v the_o visible_a part_n but_o now_o there_o be_v other_o who_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v and_o they_o come_v and_o the_o lord_n together_o with_o their_o outward_a ministry_n speak_v to_o their_o heart_n and_o open_v the_o inward_a treasure_n to_o they_o and_o they_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o it_o and_o admire_v at_o it_o and_o they_o come_v to_o taste_v the_o sweet_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o they_o adore_v god_n in_o receive_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v so_o that_o god_n fetch_v about_o his_o end_n this_o way_n but_o in_o his_o just_a judgement_n hide_v his_o gospel_n from_o some_o and_o reveal_v it_o to_o other_o and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o 2_o cor._n 4._o if_o our_o gospel_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v hide_v to_o they_o that_o be_v lose_v the_o

see_v why_o god_n do_v commit_v the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n unto_o man_n rather_o than_o unto_o angel_n cap._n
there_o be_v no_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o i_o but_o i_o know_v my_o heart_n be_v with_o it_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v but_o reveal_v to_o i_o now_o in_o this_o case_n have_v before_o feel_v

thou_o off_o certain_o god_n have_v some_o great_a end_n in_o work_v so_o wonderful_o towards_o thou_o than_o to_o throw_v thou_o off_o except_o the_o lord_n have_v some_o great_a thought_n of_o

towards_o thou_o in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o grace_n so_o certain_o to_o thou_o the_o lord_n be_v about_o to_o do_v great_a thing_n that_o grace_n of_o his_o that_o have_v be_v so_o strong_a upon_o

of_o this_o god_n will_v reject_v thou_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o get_v thy_o heart_n soften_v but_o rather_o call_v to_o mind_v what_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v be_v towards_o thou_o
