paul_n in_o eph._n 1._o 1.18_o in_o all_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n to_o the_o 18._o verse_n have_v declare_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n he_o take_v himself_o upon_o the_o sudden_a and_o begin_v to_o think_v with_o himself_o though_o i_o show_v you_o all_o this_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o god_n send_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o heart_n to_o god_n beseech_v he_o to_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n to_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o their_o understanding_n that_o they_o may_v see_v the_o hope_n of_o their_o call_v and_o the_o riches_n of_o their_o inheritance_n with_o the_o saint_n so_o shall_v minister_n learn_v to_o do_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o people_n that_o god_n will_v

they_o may_v be_v powerful_a to_o work_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o which_o we_o deliver_v they_o to_o you_o and_o so_o we_o have_v show_v you_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o what_o effectual_a

all_o we_o be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n accept_v no_o faith_n but_o that_o which_o be_v effectual_a effectual_a and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n why_o no_o faith_n shall_v be_v accept_v of_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v effectual_a first_o because_o otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n at_o all_o if_o it_o be_v not_o effectual_a dead_a and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o he_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o more_o faith_n than_o a_o dead_a man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o man_n you_o give_v the_o name_n of_o a_o

be_v a_o saviour_n to_o none_o but_o those_o to_o who_o he_o be_v a_o master_n his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o obey_v say_v the_o apostle_n if_o you_o will_v obey_v he_o and_o be_v

that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o david_n and_o rule_v those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o therefore_o i_o say_v you_o must_v not_o only_o take_v he_o as_o a_o priest_n to_o

where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o king_n send_v forth_o his_o servant_n to_o bid_v man_n to_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o son_n and_o so_o in_o eth._n 5._o the_o same_o similitude_n and_o comparison_n be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n by_o that_o union_n there_o be_v between_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o

the_o father_n give_v the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n himself_o must_v be_v take_v so_o that_o we_o must_v first_o take_v christ_n we_o must_v fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o he_o for_o faith_n do_v not_o

though_o there_o be_v not_o miracle_n yet_o god_n he_o work_v wonder_n now_o a_o day_n as_o well_o as_o then_o his_o hand_n be_v not_o shorten_v now_o he_o be_v the_o same_o god_n he_o be_v as_o

miracle_n though_o they_o may_v be_v great_a work_n that_o wonder_n that_o elisha_n say_v that_o the_o next_o day_n thing_n shall_v be_v so_o cheap_a you_o see_v that_o be_v reckon_v so_o great_a a_o

trust_v in_o he_o they_o be_v thing_n which_o he_o do_v daily_o now_o therefore_o to_o answer_v punctual_o because_o man_n do_v deceive_v themselves_o in_o that_o when_o we_o exhort_v they_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n they_o say_v still_o we_o must_v use_v the_o mean_n i_o will_v give_v a_o threefold_a answer_n to_o it_o 2._o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n use_v mean_n but_o they_o be_v mean_n of_o his_o own_o provide_v part_n and_o not_o the_o mean_n many_o time_n that_o thou_o pitche_v upon_o for_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v it_o not_o but_o by_o mean_n that_o be_v he_o do_v thing_n by_o second_o cause_n he_o do_v they_o not_o by_o a_o immediate_a hand_n of_o his_o own_o though_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o but_o now_o what_o those_o cause_n be_v thou_o know_v not_o therefore_o this_o set_v down_o that_o god_n do_v it_o by_o mean_n of_o his_o own_o and_o not_o by_o those_o mean_n thou_o see_v it_o may_v be_v thou_o pitche_v upon_o some_o particular_a mean_n and_o think_v sure_o it_o must_v be_v do_v by_o this_o and_o because_o thou_o see_v no_o other_o thou_o think_v if_o that_o fail_v all_o be_v spoil_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o god_n will_v not_o do_v it_o by_o these_o but_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v it_o that_o his_o usual_a course_n be_v when_o man_n have_v pitch_v upon_o particular_a mean_n and_o think_v sure_o the_o business_n must_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v by_o this_o or_o else_o all_o will_v fail_v god_n many_o time_n use_v not_o that_o but_o a_o mean_n which_o thou_o never_o think_v of_o in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o fare_v with_o we_o as_o it_o do_v with_o naaman_n the_o assyrian_a when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o prophet_n of_o god_n he_o think_v beforehand_o that_o the_o prophet_n will_v have_v speak_v some_o word_n and_o have_v heal_v he_o but_o he_o bid_v he_o go_v and_o wash_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o he_o never_o think_v of_o so_o thou_o many_o time_n think_v of_o these_o mean_n thou_o preconceive_v thing_n in_o thy_o own_o heart_n thou_o think_v thou_o be_v right_a thou_o think_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v do_v this_o way_n thou_o see_v no_o other_o mean_n but_o it_o may_v be_v god_n will_v not_o do_v it_o this_o way_n but_o he_o will_v do_v it_o a_o way_n that_o thou_o think_v not_o of_o so_o joseph_n when_o he_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o pharaoh_n his_o steward_n one_o will_v think_v that_o this_o shall_v have_v be_v the_o mean_n of_o josephs_n advancement_n and_o of_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o promise_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o mean_n that_o god_n use_v again_o when_o that_o pharaoh_n his_o chief_a butler_n be_v deliver_v one_o will_v think_v that_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v the_o mean_n to_o have_v wrought_v his_o exaltation_n but_o yet_o these_o be_v not_o there_o fall_v a_o mean_n that_o joseph_n think_v not_o on_o and_o so_o god_n do_v daily_o many_o time_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o most_o trust_v unto_o and_o put_v most_o confidence_n in_o do_v fail_v and_o deceive_v we_o god_n dash_v in_o piece_n such_o mean_n and_o use_v other_o mean_n to_o help_v that_o never_o come_v into_o our_o heart_n to_o think_v of_o do_v we_o not_o see_v it_o oftentimes_o again_o that_o mean_n which_o we_o think_v will_v not_o do_v oftentimes_o do_v it_o therefore_o say_v not_o i_o trust_v in_o god_n that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o by_o mean_n for_o god_n delight_v to_o do_v it_o by_o mean_n man_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v oh_o if_o have_v such_o a_o physician_n or_o if_o i_o have_v such_o air_n or_o such_o mean_n i_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o how_o do_v thou_o know_v that_o it_o may_v be_v god_n will_v not_o use_v that_o so_o those_o that_o be_v in_o distress_n oh_o if_o i_o have_v such_o a_o man_n to_o comfort_v i_o why_o thou_o know_v not_o whether_o that_o be_v the_o mean_n that_o god_n will_v use_v or_o no._n therefore_o say_v not_o because_o i_o see_v not_o mean_n therefore_o i_o will_v not_o trust_v in_o god._n i_o say_v god_n will_v do_v it_o by_o mean_n but_o he_o use_v mean_n of_o his_o own_o provide_v and_o not_o of_o thy_o seek_n this_o be_v the_o first_o answer_n
