lord_n of_o time_n have_v draw_v the_o whole_a time_n with_o such_o exactness_n of_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n that_o every_o thing_n be_v in_o its_o own_o place_n season_n and_o time_n and_o as_o

particular_a excellency_n but_o he_o be_v make_v like_o to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n througout_n and_o thus_o be_v the_o line_n of_o every_o saint_n service_n draw_v out_o nothing_o can_v crowd_v into_o it_o and_o this_o line_n can_v by_o no_o violence_n be_v cut_v short_a nor_o can_v any_o zeal_n for_o service_n draw_v it_o out_o long_o the_o only_o elect_a servant_n be_v he_o who_o service_n

melchisedec_n therefore_o who_o be_v make_v like_o he_o be_v under_o no_o limitation_n of_o service_n in_o the_o history_n we_o have_v of_o he_o jacohs_o patriarchal_a line_n reach_v even_o to_o

and_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o rest_v round_o about_o he_o finish_v his_o course_n then_o come_v on_o the_o day_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o their_o course_n with_o samuel_n reach_v with_o the_o intervention_n of_o saul_n unto_o david_n who_o serve_v his_o generation_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o the_o line_n come_v down_o to_o john_n baptist_n fulfilfil_v his_o course_n as_o a_o forerunner_n and_o so_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n who_o walk_v as_o he_o say_v in_o his_o course_n here_o on_o earth_n though_o as_o the_o son_n a_o eternal_a priest_n this_o

the_o line_n of_o faith_n and_o service_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o line_n allow_v to_o evil_a man_n in_o their_o wickedness_n and_o in_o their_o enjoyment_n of_o their_o lust_n and_o

be_v whole_o the_o reward_n of_o free_a grace_n it_o be_v in_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o reward_n equal_a as_o have_v be_v argue_v 2._o the_o time_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o
