and_o grace_n to_o they_o and_o not_o their_o desert_n and_o withal_o teach_v we_o to_o be_v confident_a in_o it_o that_o no_o people_n be_v so_o bless_v and_o happy_a as_o such_o as_o be_v true_a christian_n they_o be_v the_o bless_a of_o god_n even_o such_o as_o god_n bless_v as_o a_o father_n if_o israel_n blessing_n can_v make_v jacob_n happy_a much_o more_o god_n blessing_n upon_o those_o

be_v as_o it_o be_v under_o age_n and_o beside_o merit_n of_o work_n be_v here_o again_o confute_v for_o if_o we_o hold_v heaven_n by_o inheritance_n than_o not_o by_o merit_n a_o man_n child_n

of_o every_o true_a christian_a at_o that_o day_n this_o world_n have_v no_o high_a estate_n to_o shadow_v it_o out_o by_o but_o a_o kingdom_n which_o be_v the_o high_a greatness_n on_o earth_n and_o

observe_v also_o that_o our_o saviour_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n express_v it_o by_o mention_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n great_a be_v the_o surpass_a glory_n

to_o the_o appear_v of_o christ_n jesus_n our_o heart_n i_o say_v upon_o who_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v when_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o near_o at_o hand_n and_o

mention_v or_o work_n of_o righteousness_n as_o well_o as_o mercy_n i_o answer_v that_o mercy_n be_v not_o absolute_o better_a than_o piety_n but_o only_o in_o a_o sort_n viz._n in_o respect_n of_o

be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o sufficient_o inform_v themselves_o of_o the_o dearness_n of_o relation_n between_o they_o and_o christ_n and_o the_o great_a account_n that_o christ_n make_v of_o their_o work_n as_o we_o must_v not_o be_v just_o overmuch_a to_o think_v better_o of_o ourselves_o than_o there_o be_v cause_n so_o we_o must_v not_o be_v wicked_a overmuch_a in_o deny_v god_n grace_n or_o attribute_v more_o sin_n to_o ourselves_o than_o be_v true_a their_o great_a praise_n import_v in_o these_o word_n be_v that_o they_o forget_v the_o good_a they_o have_v do_v be_v more_o prone_a to_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v their_o unworthiness_n whereas_o wicked_a man_n can_v remember_v the_o good_a they_o have_v do_v but_o forget_v their_o sin_n from_o the_o reply_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v observe_v the_o near_a conjunction_n between_o christ_n and_o christian_n he_o reckon_v of_o they_o as_o of_o himself_o and_o be_v affect_v with_o all_o that_o befall_v they_o as_o if_o it_o do_v befall_v himself_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o call_v they_o brethren_n yea_o he_o reckon_v poor_a christian_n as_o a_o part_n of_o himself_o though_o they_o be_v despise_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o love_v they_o as_o he_o love_v himself_o they_o be_v precious_a in_o his_o eye_n call_v they_o brethren_n he_o vouchsafe_v they_o incredible_a honour_n which_o shall_v great_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o charity_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o be_v dull_a set_v christ_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o think_v what_o a_o sacrilege_n it_o be_v to_o deny_v relief_n to_o christ_n thus_o of_o the_o
