have_v cut_v the_o thread_n of_o their_o life_n and_o give_v they_o their_o portion_n among_o hypocrite_n ah_o how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o have_v die_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o earthly_a

be_v there_o that_o god_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n have_v give_v up_o to_o insatiable_a desire_n of_o earthly_a thing_n 19_o phil._n 3.18_o 19_o and_o to_o a_o curse_a endless_a covetousness_n all_o their_o day_n some_o write_v of_o the_o crocodil_n that_o it_o always_o grow_v that_o it_o have_v never_o do_v grow_v and_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o desire_n of_o worldly_a man_n they_o always_o grow_v they_o have_v never_o do_v grow_v now_o they_o be_v for_o one_o thousand_o then_o for_o ten_o then_o for_o twenty_o then_o for_o forty_o then_o for_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o now_o they_o be_v for_o this_o lordship_n and_o then_o they_o be_v for_o that_o now_o they_o be_v for_o this_o good_a bargain_n and_o then_o they_o be_v for_o that_o their_o heart_n grow_v every_o

golden_a season_n and_o opportunity_n wherein_o they_o may_v have_v secure_v god_n for_o their_o portion_n but_o three_o object_n 3_o other_o may_v object_v and_o say_v we_o will_v fain_o have_v god_n for_o our_o portion_n and_o we_o will_v willing_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o all_o those_o way_n and_o mean_n whereby_o we_o may_v obtain_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v our_o portion_n but_o we_o be_v poor_a unworthy_a wretch_n sure_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o bestow_v himself_o as_o a_o portion_n upon_o such_o miserable_a unworthy_a one_o as_o we_o be_v we_o be_v worthy_a of_o death_n we_o be_v worthy_a of_o wrath_n we_o be_v worthy_a of_o hell_n we_o be_v worthy_a of_o damnation_n but_o we_o be_v no_o way_n worthy_a of_o have_v god_n for_o our_o portion_n do_v ever_o the_o lord_n cast_v a_o eye_n of_o love_n upon_o such_o unlovely_a and_o such_o unworthy_a sinner_n leper_n as_o we_o be_v etc._n etc._n now_o to_o this_o objection_n i_o shall_v return_v these_o answer_n first_o though_o you_o have_v no_o merit_n 1.3_o 2_o cor._n 4.15_o 1_o tim._n 1.14_o 1_o pet._n 1.3_o yet_o god_n be_v rich_a and_o abundant_a in_o mercy_n your_o sin_n your_o unworthiness_n can_v but_o reach_v as_o high_a as_o heaven_n but_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n reach_n above_o the_o heaven_n psal_n 103.11_o for_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a above_o the_o earth_n so_o great_a be_v his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o psal_n 108.4_o for_o thy_o mercy_n be_v great_a above_o the_o heaven_n and_o thy_o truth_n reach_v unto_o the_o cloud_n the_o high_a comparison_n which_o the_o world_n will_v afford_v be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o express_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o poor_a sinner_n though_o the_o heaven_n be_v exceed_o high_a above_o the_o earth_n yet_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o his_o poor_a people_n be_v above_o the_o heaven_n but_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v never_o bestow_v himself_o as_o a_o portion_n upon_o any_o yet_o but_o unworthy_a one_o david_n be_v as_o unworthy_a as_o saul_n and_o job_n as_o joab_n and_o peter_n as_o judas_n and_o paul_n as_o simon_n magus_n 32._o mat._n 21.31_o 32._o and_o the_o publican_n and_o harlot_n that_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v as_o unworthy_a as_o the_o publican_n and_o harlot_n that_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o thief_n that_o go_v to_o paradise_n be_v as_o unworthy_a as_o the_o thief_n that_o go_v to_o hell_n all_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n be_v ready_a with_o one_o joint_a consent_n to_o declare_v that_o they_o be_v as_o unworthy_a as_o the_o most_o unworthy_a when_o god_n first_o bestow_v himself_o as_o a_o portion_n upon_o they_o this_o objection_n i_o be_o unworthy_a be_v a_o very_a unworthy_a objection_n and_o therefore_o away_o with_o it_o but_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n require_v any_o personal_a worthiness_n to_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n before_o he_o will_v bestow_v himself_o upon_o the_o creature_n o_o sir_n it_o never_o come_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n it_o never_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n to_o require_v of_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v first_o worthy_a of_o his_o love_n before_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v his_o love_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v first_o worthy_a of_o his_o mercy_n before_o they_o shall_v taste_v of_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v first_o worthy_a of_o his_o goodness_n before_o they_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v first_o worthy_a of_o himself_o before_o he_o will_v bestow_v himself_o as_o a_o portion_n upon_o they_o if_o we_o shall_v never_o enjoy_v god_n for_o our_o portion_n till_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o enjoy_v he_o for_o our_o portion_n we_o shall_v never_o enjoy_v he_o if_o a_o man_n have_v as_o many_o eye_n as_o argus_n to_o search_v into_o the_o scripture_n and_o as_o many_o hand_n as_o briareus_n to_o turn_v over_o the_o leaf_n of_o scripture_n yet_o he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o one_o text_n one_o line_n yea_o one_o word_n wherein_o god_n require_v a_o personal_a worthiness_n in_o the_o creature_n before_o he_o give_v away_o himself_o to_o the_o creature_n shall_v god_n stand_v upon_o a_o personal_a worthiness_n to_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n before_o he_o will_v look_v upon_o the_o creature_n or_o before_o he_o will_v let_v out_o his_o love_n to_o the_o creature_n or_o before_o he_o will_v extend_v mercy_n or_o pity_n to_o the_o creature_n or_o before_o he_o will_v in_o a_o covenant_n of_o free_a grace_n give_v himself_o to_o the_o creature_n no_o sinner_n can_v be_v save_v man_n will_v be_v for_o ever_o undo_v and_o it_o have_v be_v good_a for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v but_o four_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o man_n unworthiness_n but_o man_n unwillingness_n that_o hinder_v they_o from_o have_v god_n to_o be_v their_o portion_n though_o most_o man_n pretend_v their_o unworthiness_n yet_o there_o be_v in_o they_o a_o secret_a unwillingness_n to_o have_v god_n for_o their_o god_n when_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o gracious_a god_n than_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v he_o to_o be_v their_o god_n but_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o holy_a god_n than_o their_o heart_n fly_v back_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o merciful_a god_n and_o as_o a_o bountiful_a god_n o_o then_o they_o wish_v that_o he_o be_v their_o god_n but_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o command_a god_n and_o as_o a_o roll_a and_o a_o overrule_a god_n o_o then_o their_o heart_n do_v secret_o rise_v against_o god_n there_o be_v a_o real_a unwillingness_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o sinner_n in_o all_o respect_n to_o close_o with_o god_n and_o to_o have_v god_n to_o be_v their_o god_n 53.1_o isa_n 53.1_o who_o have_v believe_v our_o
