before_o 28._o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v nay_o i_o add_v in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o strengthen_v you_o that_o as_o they_o work_v all_o of_o they_o the_o lord_n work_v so_o the_o lord_n work_n and_o design_n be_v the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n the_o call_n the_o purge_n the_o preserve_n the_o building_n and_o nourish_v 4._o and_o growth_n of_o the_o church_n be_v all_o

believe_v all_o these_o thing_n may_v not_o our_o heart_n rest_v quiet_a may_v not_o we_o if_o we_o be_v engage_v in_o a_o good_a cause_n may_v not_o we_o i_o say_v with_o comfort_n and_o confidence_n put_v it_o into_o the_o lord_n hand_n and_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v i_o be_o persuade_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o diffidence_n and_o discouragement_n that_o be_v find_v among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n this_o day_n arise_v from_o their_o ignorance_n of_o the_o interest_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o these_o public_a affair_n and_o i_o know_v also_o that_o to_o those_o man_n that_o be_v but_o politician_n and_o carry_v carnal_a and_o worldly_a design_n of_o their_o own_o such_o a_o lesson_n as_o this_o can_v be_v of_o no_o use_n nor_o stay_v to_o they_o for_o jesus_n christ_n be_v against_o they_o but_o for_o those_o that_o have_v a_o spiritual_a eye_n and_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v some_o prop_n to_o lean_v upon_o this_o may_v stay_v and_o quiet_v their_o heart_n they_o may_v comfortable_o set_v down_o this_o conclusion_n their_o adversary_n may_v have_v great_a power_n and_o strength_n but_o the_o church_n have_v immanuel_n they_o have_v the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n the_o church_n have_v the_o wealth_n of_o immanuel_n the_o wisdom_n care_n and_o goodness_n of_o immanuel_n they_o have_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o join_v with_o they_o but_o we_o

therefore_o stay_v and_o quiet_a your_o heart_n with_o these_o thing_n especial_o this_o may_v stay_v we_o against_o our_o fear_n of_o have_v this_o tender_a plant_n of_o reformation_n blast_v and_o spoil_v by_o the_o many_o enemy_n who_o oppose_v it_o it_o have_v be_v christ_n ordinary_a way_n to_o let_v his_o enemy_n set_v against_o his_o work_n when_o it_o be_v but_o a_o tender_a plant_n when_o in_o all_o likelihood_n it_o may_v be_v most_o easy_o spoil_v and_o he_o order_v it_o so_o purposely_o to_o make_v man_n see_v and_o know_v that_o when_o they_o have_v vent_v their_o utmost_a
