send_v i_o therefore_o keep_v they_o and_o again_o i_o be_o glorify_v in_o they_o therefore_o keep_v they_o and_o last_o of_o all_o i_o be_o to_o leave_v they_o behind_o i_o in_o the_o world_n therefore_o keep_v they_o these_o argument_n and_o reason_n we_o have_v hear_v now_o he_o go_v forward_o and_o add_v to_o the_o eight_o reason_n begin_v at_o the_o text_n which_o we_o have_v read_v the_o eight_o reason_n be_v from_o his_o own_o keep_n of_o his_o disciple_n while_o he_o abide_v with_o they_o in_o the_o world_n while_o i_o be_v with_o they_o in_o the_o world_n i_o keep_v they_o in_o thy_o name_n and_o save_v they_o and_o those_o who_o thou_o give_v to_o i_o i_o have_v keep_v so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o they_o lose_v save_o one_o the_o son_n of_o perdition_n meaning_n judas_n that_o the_o scripture_n may_v i_o fulfil_v even_o that_o scripture_n which_o foretell_v of_o his_o destruction_n therefore_o i_o keep_v they_o so_o long_o as_o i_o be_v with_o they_o now_o father_n i_o recommend_v they_o unto_o thou_o and_o i_o put_v they_o into_o thy_o hand_n yet_o the_o word_n will_v be_v better_o weigh_v this_o keep_n of_o his_o disciple_n he_o amplifi_v by_o sundry_a circumstance_n the_o first_o circumstance_n be_v a_o carefulness_n diligence_n and_o earnestness_n in_o keep_v they_o this_o carefulness_n appear_v in_o double_v of_o the_o word_n he_o be_v not_o content_a to_o say_v once_o i_o have_v keep_v they_o but_o he_o say_v it_o over_o again_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o he_o keep_v he_o keep_v they_o faithful_o and_o careful_o not_o slack_o but_o diligent_o night_n and_o day_n his_o eye_n be_v upon_o they_o and_o as_o he_o himself_o say_v o_o jerusalem_n as_o the_o hen_n gather_v her_o bird_n under_o her_o wing_n so_o will_v i_o have_v do_v to_o thou_o and_o no_o doubt_n the_o lord_n gather_v his_o own_o under_o the_o wing_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o keep_v they_o after_o a_o most_o tender_a and_o intiere_a fashion_n of_o keep_v so_o we_o may_v learn_v at_o his_o example_n those_o who_o god_n have_v concredit_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v keep_v in_o this_o world_n by_o we_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o our_o family_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o church_fw-mi of_o god_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o policy_n or_o commonwealth_n wheresoever_o they_o be_v one_o or_o more_o how_o many_o or_o how_o few_o they_o be_v who_o be_v concredit_v unto_o we_o and_o give_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o be_v keep_v and_o defend_v in_o this_o world_n by_o us._n we_o learn_v here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n to_o keep_v they_o so_o careful_o and_o faithful_o that_o they_o lose_v not_o in_o our_o hand_n the_o prophet_n say_v woe_n to_o they_o that_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n negligent_o and_o slacklie_o jerem._n 48._o vers_fw-la 10._o there_o he_o mean_v who_o slay_v not_o and_o wrack_v not_o as_o the_o lord_n command_v to_o slay_v and_o wrack_n therefore_o much_o more_o shall_v woe_n &_o curse_n appertain_v unto_o they_o who_o keep_v not_o they_o faithful_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v concredit_v unto_o they_o and_o command_v they_o to_o keep_v if_o woe_n be_v denounce_v against_o they_o who_o slay_v not_o and_o wrack_v not_o at_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n a_o double_a woe_n shall_v appertain_v unto_o they_o who_o neglect_v they_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v concredit_v to_o their_o charge_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o circumstance_n i_o have_v keep_v they_o in_o they_o name_v that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o thy_o virtue_n and_o power_n all_o the_o power_n that_o the_o son_n have_v he_o have_v it_o give_v he_o of_o the_o father_n and_o all_o the_o power_n that_o the_o son_n have_v be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o keep_n of_o these_o disciple_n to_o be_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o father_n and_o so_o he_o glorifi_v his_o father_n in_o heaven_n the_o son_n in_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v he_o ever_o glorifi_v the_o father_n who_o be_v he_o in_o this_o world_n who_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v a_o soul_n by_o his_o own_o power_n who_o have_v power_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n to_o keep_v a_o body_n or_o a_o child_n or_o
