28._o 19_o although_o by_o divine_a power_n god_n be_v present_v every_o where_n church_n yet_o be_v he_o most_o present_a in_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n there_o do_v he_o show_v more_o power_n more_o mercy_n more_o judgement_n more_o favour_n then_o in_o other_o place_n i_o mean_v in_o that_o place_n where_o his_o gospel_n be_v profess_v the_o first_o reason_n because_o in_o his_o church_n be_v his_o chief_a treasure_n esay_n 33._o 6._o 1._o and_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o we_o where_o our_o treasure_n be_v there_o be_v our_o heart_n so_o the_o lord_n heart_n and_o soul_n be_v lodge_v in_o his_o church_n where_o be_v his_o treasure_n namely_o his_o fear_n zeal_n faith_n knowledge_n redemption_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o i_o will_v god_fw-we man_n do_v not_o cast_v his_o treasure_n before_o the_o swine_n of_o their_o filthy_a sin_n another_o reason_n because_o the_o 2_o power_n of_o darkness_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o mat._n 16._o 18._o for_o as_o the_o sun_n do_v break_v away_o the_o cloud_n and_o the_o north_n wind_n drive_v away_o the_o rain_n so_o do_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o his_o church_n break_v in_o piece_n the_o strength_n of_o devil_n and_o drive_v away_o the_o rage_n of_o sin_n and_o true_o as_o when_o lot_n go_v out_o of_o sodom_n the_o valley_n be_v destroy_v so_o when_o god_n shall_v forsake_v his_o church_n it_o shall_v come_v to_o ruin_v let_v we_o learn_v 1_o to_o glorify_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o church_n 1._o cor._n 6._o 20._o for_o he_o be_v not_o far_o off_o but_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o us._n again_o let_v we_o also_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o dwell_n among_o we_o hold_v fast_o our_o hope_n of_o trust_n heb._n 3_o 6._o that_o we_o be_v not_o confound_v at_o the_o last_o the_o presence_n of_o deborah_n make_v barac_n get_v the_o victory_n against_o sisera_n and_o his_o nine_o hundred_o charet_n of_o iron_n &_o let_v we_o not_o by_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o woman_n or_o man_n but_o god_n almighty_a put_v to_o flight_n all_o our_o sin_n and_o lead_v our_o pleasure_n captive_n that_o they_o may_v never_o more_o offend_v the_o church_n of_o god_n second_o 2_o by_o this_o verse_n we_o must_v note_v that_o it_o behoove_v every_o member_n of_o the_o church_n to_o have_v a_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o favour_n the_o lord_n favour_n toward_o he_o not_o only_o that_o god_n be_v or_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o world_n but_o that_o god_n be_v their_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v their_o redeemer_n 2._o cor._n 5._o 11._o so_o that_o as_o elisha_n will_v not_o forsake_v elijah_n because_o he_o be_v his_o master_n nor_o ruth_n forsake_v naomi_n because_o she_o be_v her_o stepmother_n nor_o peter_n forsake_v christ_n because_o he_o be_v his_o saviour_n no_o more_o must_v we_o forsake_v the_o lord_n for_o he_o be_v our_o master_n our_o father_n our_o saviour_n and_o our_o god_n in_o this_o one_o point_n be_v include_v all_o religion_n for_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o profession_n that_o god_n may_v be_v we_o and_o we_o may_v be_v he_o the_o first_o 1._o reason_n because_o without_o this_o assurance_n of_o faith_n we_o can_v please_v god_n heb._n 11._o 6._o so_o that_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v for_o company_n or_o custom_n or_o persuasion_n or_o of_o uncertainty_n do_v not_o please_v almighty_a god_n again_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o 2_o god_n be_v in_o we_o then_o be_v we_o reprobate_n and_o then_o be_v it_o better_o for_o we_o that_o we_o have_v never_o so_o much_o as_o live_v under_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o let_v we_o seek_v the_o lord_n more_o ardent_o for_o as_o the_o brethren_n of_o joseph_n may_v not_o see_v his_o face_n any_o more_o except_o they_o bring_v little_a benjamin_n

may_v answer_v unto_o thou_o my_o son_n as_o abraham_n do_v again_o let_v we_o open_v the_o way_n that_o other_o man_n may_v come_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o well_o as_o we_o isai_n 26._o 2._o for_o
