sin_n pardon_v we_o have_v a_o continual_a feast_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o song_n in_o the_o very_a night_n of_o affliction_n when_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n our_o heart_n be_v strong_a we_o be_v as_o bold_a as_o lion_n and_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o presence_n and_o come_n of_o the_o judge_n when_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v oh_o what_o a_o confluence_n of_o all_o blessedness_n and_o happiness_n be_v there_o in_o jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o have_v he_o we_o be_v rich_a we_o be_v full_a we_o have_v all_o if_o we_o be_v

who_o we_o enjoy_v such_o a_o world_n of_o blessing_n and_o without_o who_o we_o be_v so_o extreme_o unhappy_a the_o lord_n give_v we_o to_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o belong_v unto_o our_o peace_n christ_n procure_v for_o we_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o a_o solitary_a blessing_n it_o come_v not_o alone_a but_o with_o a_o long_a train_n of_o good_a thing_n at_o the_o heel_n of_o it_o christ_n therefore_o that_o obtain_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v precious_a and_o excellent_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n three_o it_o be_v christ_n alone_o that_o do_v as_o it_o be_v unmask_v and_o unveil_v the_o face_n of_o god_n and_o help_v we_o to_o such_o a_o manifestation_n and_o sight_n of_o it_o as_o our_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o his_o glory_n in_o

all_o that_o we_o can_v either_o ask_v or_o think_v we_o can_v ask_v much_o and_o we_o can_v think_v more_o yet_o we_o can_v neither_o ask_v nor_o think_v so_o much_o as_o god_n can_v do_v here_o be_v the_o thunder_n of_o his_o power_n zophar_n also_o say_v that_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o almighty_a unto_o perfection_n he_o compare_v it_o in_o height_n to_o heaven_n in_o depth_n to_o hell_n in_o length_n to_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o breadth_n to_o the_o sea_n yea_o he_o make_v it_o high_o deep_a long_o and_o broad_a than_o all_o these_o and_o god_n himself_o tell_v moses_n that_o no_o man_n can_v see_v his_o face_n and_o live_v we_o may_v see_v jehovah_n backpart_n but_o his_o face_n that_o be_v his_o absoluteness_n and_o perfection_n can_v be_v see_v and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v the_o invisible_a god_n yet_o howsoever_o this_o do_v not_o a_o little_a set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n and_o worthiness_n of_o christ_n that_o revelation_n which_o we_o have_v of_o god_n we_o have_v it_o by_o he_o and_o hereof_o we_o may_v see_v a_o notable_a figure_n in_o moses_n the_o lord_n proclaim_v his_o mercy_n his_o patience_n his_o goodness_n his_o truth_n and_o his_o justice_n before_o he_o these_o be_v his_o backpart_n and_o more_o than_o these_o he_o can_v not_o see_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n cover_v moses_n with_o his_o hand_n
