unto_o all_o ro._n 10.12_o this_o may_v humble_v we_o this_o may_v comfort_v we_o this_o may_v unite_v we_o 1._o this_o may_v humble_v we_o for_o god_n make_v no_o difference_n of_o we_o in_o the_o best_a thing_n let_v not_o we_o therefore_o be_v proud_a of_o our_o difference_n in_o the_o worst_a thing_n god_n will_v have_v difference_n and_o degree_n in_o his_o church_n militant_a for_o order_n sake_n for_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n not_o of_o confusion_n yea_o in_o his_o triumphant_a church_n too_o no_o doubt_n degree_n of_o glory_n for_o one_o star_n differ_v from_o another_o star_n in_o glory_n so_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a 1_o cor._n 15._o let_v not_o then_o this_o order_n make_v disorder_n presume_v in_o superior_n murmur_v in_o inferior_n there_o it_o can_v be_v because_o of_o their_o fullness_n for_o every_o one_o be_v fill_v alike_o because_o he_o be_v fulfil_v their_o fill_n be_v alike_o though_o their_o measure_n differ_v and_o here_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v because_o of_o our_o emptiness_n we_o be_v alike_o empty_a of_o grace_n by_o nature_n till_o god_n afford_v we_o several_a degree_n of_o fill_v and_o if_o we_o will_v boast_v of_o worldly_a fullness_n how_o little_a cause_n have_v we_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o it_o when_o as_o here_o we_o see_v the_o stream_n of_o grace_n run_v alike_o to_o all_o sort_n and_o degree_n 2._o this_o also_o may_v comfort_v we_o that_o this_o stream_n rune_v unto_o all_o for_o therefore_o it_o can_v fail_v to_o we_o neither_o can_v we_o fail_v to_o it_o it_o can_v fail_v to_o we_o by_o length_n or_o largeness_n of_o run_v the_o spring_n be_v the_o same_o how_o many_o soever_o do_v drink_n of_o the_o stream_n we_o can_v fail_v to_o it_o by_o our_o high_a or_o low_o be_v for_o it_o find_v out_o all_o estate_n it_o run_v unto_o all_o despair_v not_o therefore_o on_o god_n part_n his_o fountain_n can_v be_v draw_v dry_a despair_v not_o on_o thy_o own_o part_n for_o whosoever_o thou_o be_v thou_o be_v not_o debar_v the_o stream_n of_o grace_n this_o comfort_n abound_v whatsoever_o fail_v all_o sort_n partake_v of_o grace_n it_o run_v unto_o all_o all_o we_o have_v receive_v 3._o three_o this_o may_v unite_v we_o why_o god_n do_v equal_v we_o in_o the_o best_a thing_n his_o grace_n run_v unto_o all_o what_o strong_a bond_n can_v there_o be_v of_o union_n have_v we_o not_o all_o one_o father_n why_o do_v we_o transgress_v every_o one_o against_o his_o brother_n mal._n 2.10_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n there_o be_v one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n even_o as_o you_o be_v call_v in_o one_o hope_n of_o your_o call_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o eph._n 4.3_o and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o second_o general_a part_n of_o the_o text_n viz._n the_o stream_n all_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o three_o and_o last_o general_a part_n be_v the_o bank_n and_o grace_n for_o grace_n every_o fountain_n have_v a_o stream_n every_o stream_n have_v its_o bank_n therefore_o the_o evangelist_n here_o show_v not_o only_o the_o fountain_n from_o whence_o and_o the_o stream_n how_o but_o also_o bank_n and_o bound_n how_o far_o forth_o and_o in_o what_o measure_n grace_n do_v flow_v and_o grace_n for_o grace_n some_o will_v have_v it_o take_v prorata_fw-la portione_fw-la that_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n of_o grace_n in_o we_o answerable_a to_o that_o in_o christ_n namely_o that_o he_o impart_v to_o his_o church_n every_o of_o his_o grace_n because_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o the_o church_n be_v the_o body_n and_o caput_fw-la in_o membra_fw-la redundat_fw-la between_o the_o head_n and_o the_o body_n there_o be_v communion_n of_o influence_n and_o can_v be_v no_o stoppage_n and_o so_o grace_n for_o grace_n be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o grace_n in_o we_o for_o every_o grace_n grace_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o so_o that_o we_o also_o have_v our_o fullness_n answerable_a to_o his_o and_o so_o indeed_o the_o church_n be_v call_v his_o body_n the_o fullness_n of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o eph._n 1.23_o so_o that_o then_o this_o be_v true_a be_v true_o take_v and_o right_o understand_v the_o bank_n observe_v our_o measure_n keep_v christ_n communicate_v unto_o we_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v even_o grace_n for_o grace_n his_o fullness_n become_v we_o and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o by_o way_n of_o imputation_n he_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n 1_o cor._n 1.30_o but_o by_o the_o way_n of_o influence_n and_o participation_n because_o as_o he_o be_v even_o so_o be_v we_o in_o this_o world_n 1_o jo._n 4.17_o but_o his_o fullness_n be_v we_o only_o according_a to_o our_o measure_n proportionable_a to_o our_o capacity_n in_o we_o it_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la sufficiens_fw-la sufficient_a to_o every_o man_n for_o his_o own_o salvation_n the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n heb._n 2.4_o by_o this_o that_o be_v his_o own_o faith_n but_o in_o he_o it_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la superabundans_fw-la fullness_n abound_v to_o other_o salvation_n the_o precious_a ointment_n upon_o our_o aaron_n our_o high_a priest_n head_n run_v down_o to_o his_o beard_n and_o to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o clothing_n to_o all_o his_o part_n and_o member_n in_o we_o it_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la vafis_fw-la vessell-fullnesse_n we_o have_v this_o treasure_n in_o earthen_a vessel_n 2_o cor._n 4._o but_o in_o he_o it_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la fontis_fw-la fountain-fullnesse_n they_o have_v forsake_v i_o the_o fountain_n of_o live_a water_n jer._n 2.13_o in_o we_o it_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la comparata_fw-la compared-fullnesse_n respective_a to_o each_o subject_n or_o continent_n my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o 2_o cor._n 12_o 9_o but_o in_o he_o it_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la absoluta_fw-la absolute_a fullness_n without_o all_o respect_n or_o measure_n for_o god_n give_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o measure_n to_o he_o jo._n 3.34_o in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la apta_fw-la plenitudo_fw-la aequa_fw-la plenitudo_fw-la superfluens_fw-la a_o apt_a a_o equal_a and_o a_o overflow_a fullness_n 1._o a_o apt_a fullness_n as_o when_o a_o house_n or_o town_n or_o country_n be_v say_v to_o be_v full_a of_o people_n mean_v well_o fill_v apt_o or_o competent_o full_a so_o the_o house_n of_o baal_n be_v say_v to_o be_v full_a from_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o 2_o king_n 10._o and_o yet_o jehu_n bid_v his_o 80._o man_n go_v in_o and_o slay_v they_o it_o be_v full_a then_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v room_n for_o 80._o more_o such_o be_v our_o fullness_n here_o in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v apt_o and_o competent_o fill_v with_o grace_n so_o much_o as_o may_v suffice_v we_o but_o so_o as_o there_o be_v still_o room_n for_o more_o more_o may_v come_v in_o for_o we_o must_v still_o grow_v in_o grace_n 2_o pet_n 3_o and_o multiply_v grace_n faith_n virtue_n knowledge_n temperance_n patience_n godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n love_n 2_o pet_n 1._o and_o this_o be_v like_o the_o israelite_n gather_v of_o manna_n in_o the_o desert_n of_o sin_n he_o that_o gather_v much_o have_v nothing_o over_o and_o he_o that_o gather_v little_a have_v no_o lack_n every_o man_n gather_v according_a to_o his_o eat_n exo._n 16._o god_n give_v they_o their_o portion_n competent_a for_o natural_a life_n and_o so_o he_o do_v give_v we_o our_o portion_n competent_a to_o each_o for_o spiritual_a life_n none_o of_o the_o elect_a have_v too_o much_o none_o too_o little_a but_o every_o one_o sufficient_a just_a enough_o to_o serve_v his_o turn_n 2._o there_o be_v plenitudo_fw-la aequa_fw-la a_o equal_a fullness_n as_o when_o a_o vessel_n be_v so_o topful_a that_o there_o be_v nihil_fw-la vacuum_fw-la no_o part_n of_o it_o be_v empty_a no_o room_n for_o more_o so_o be_v the_o water-pot_n fill_v up_o to_o the_o brim_n jo._n 2._o so_o full_a that_o they_o can_v hold_v no_o more_o and_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n in_o thy_o presence_n be_v the_o fullness_n of_o joy_n ps_n 16._o they_o be_v top_n

widow_n pot_n of_o oil_n that_o never_o cease_v run_v so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o empty_a vessel_n to_o receive_v it_o and_o this_o be_v christ_n fountain_n the_o stream_n whereof_o flow_v
