undeserved_a love_n towards_o we_o in_o this_o mystery_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o very_a outward_a make_v know_v of_o the_o same_o to_o we_o when_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n more_o preferable_a than_o we_o lie_v still_o in_o darkness_n or_o have_v corrupt_v and_o undo_v these_o truth_n by_o their_o error_n 2_o that_o we_o with_o all_o thankfulness_n hearty_o acknowledge_v this_o mystery_n and_o walk_v humble_o under_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o undeserved_a favour_n we_o be_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o goodness_n as_o also_o to_o meditate_v what_o a_o account_n we_o have_v to_o give_v for_o these_o rich_a mercy_n lest_o we_o misimprove_v the_o same_o and_o turn_v his_o grace_n unto_o wantonness_n serious_o lay_v to_o heart_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o tolerable_a for_o

darkness_n ratheâ—_n than_o light_n 2._o use_v for_o warning_n unto_o such_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o save_a way_n have_v make_v know_v the_o riches_n of_o glory_n by_o bring_v it_o into_o their_o soul_n with_o power_n and_o efficacy_n namely_o 1._o they_o shall_v walk_v worthy_a of_o such_o grace_n and_o love_n by_o carry_v themselves_o humble_o before_o he_o remember_v their_o

and_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n what_o be_v you_o or_o your_o father_n house_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o you_o what_o can_v he_o see_v more_o in_o you_o than_o in_o other_o who_o yet_o 〈◊〉_d in_o darkness_n without_o these_o save_a discovery_n 3._o they_o ought_v to_o endeavour_v to_o commend_v the_o riches_n of_o this_o grace_n and_o goodness_n to_o other_o to_o speak_v good_a of_o he_o who_o have_v be_v so_o good_a to_o they_o 4._o they_o ought_v to_o make_v use_n of_o these_o discovery_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o other_o do_v their_o outmost_a to_o win_v other_o and_o to_o hold_v out_o somewhat_o of_o that_o light_n to_o other_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v in_o thereby_o but_o i_o hasten_v now_o to_o the_o last_o point_n in_o this_o verse_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n iâ—_n the_o soul_n be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o mystery_n make_v know_v in_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v christ_n in_o you_o say_v he_o this_o truth_n contain_v these_o three_o particular_n first_o that_o a_o soul-union_n wiâ—h_v christ_n be_v the_o first_o intention_n chief_a scope_n and_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o principal_o be_v intend_v therein_o that_o christ_n may_v be_v near_o hand_n and_o within_o the_o soul_n a_o second_o be_v that_o in_o this_o union_n consist_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n thereby_o be_v this_o riches_n make_v know_v and_o here_o be_v their_o centre_n for_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o this_o union_n be_v likeways_o partaker_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o glory_n three_o that_o this_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o christ_n or_o the_o bring_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o soul_n be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o god_n for_o he_o make_v know_v thâ—_n riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o truth_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v these_o two_o thing_n 1_o that_o until_o â—he_v gospel_n come_v unto_o a_o soul_n with_o power_n and_o efficacy_n the_o soul_n be_v without_o christ._n 2._o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n whereby_o this_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v carry_v on_o and_o this_o be_v the_o end_n and_o design_n thereof_o the_o first_o which_o be_v here_o premise_v be_v clear_a from_o ephes_n 2.12_o before_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o the_o ephesian_n among_o the_o misery_n wherein_o they_o be_v this_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o as_o they_o be_v without_o gâ—d_n so_o also_o without_o christ_n when_o the_o
