can_v have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o they_o without_o great_a extension_n of_o presence_n be_v beyond_o all_o imagination_n or_o possibility_n of_o conception_n 14._o great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o

they_o 15._o let_v no_o man_n misunderstand_v i_o in_o what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o do_v not_o assert_v the_o vbiquity_n of_o it_o nor_o do_v i_o deny_v his_o divine_a or_o the_o union_n thereof_o to_o the_o humane_a i_o extend_v the_o presence_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n no_o far_o than_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o mediatory_a office_n do_v require_v it_o he_o be_v the_o great_a prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n of_o humane_a race_n and_o as_o far_o as_o the_o exercise_n of_o these_o several_a office_n do_v require_v his_o presence_n so_o far_o i_o extend_v it_o and_o no_o far_o though_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v that_o these_o be_v the_o bound_n or_o limit_n of_o it_o and_o touch_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o

very_o hearty_o believe_v it_o 16._o if_o any_o man_n shall_v doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n humane_a nature_n because_o he_o be_v not_o

what_o tie_v and_o ligament_n it_o be_v fasten_v there_o and_o how_o it_o give_v life_n and_o motion_n to_o it_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v that_o child_n be_v form_v in_o their_o mother_n womb_n and_o that_o bird_n and_o foul_n be_v form_v of_o egg_n be_v vndenyable_a but_o how_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o inform_v we_o 17._o beside_o we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o humane_a mind_n and_o what_o improvement_n they_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v advance_v unto_o aster_n they_o be_v free_v from_o their_o gross_a and_o heavy_a body_n and_o we_o know_v as_o little_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o spiritual_a body_n where-withal_a we_o shall_v be_v invest_v at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o which_o christ_n jesus_n be_v already_o clothe_v withal_o in_o the_o heaven_n peradventure_o the_o soul_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v be_v so_o far_o advance_v and_o perfect_v as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o actuate_v a_o spiritual_a body_n of_o very_a vast_a

nature_n because_o we_o can_v comprehend_v the_o manner_n of_o it_o especial_o since_o we_o know_v so_o little_a of_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o humane_a mind_n and_o such_o be_v that_o of_o christ_n jesus_n or_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o spiritual_a and_o glorious_a body_n which_o be_v the_o tabernacle_n and_o habitation_n of_o it_o be_v i_o think_v unreasonable_a 18._o but_o after_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v on_o this_o subject_a i_o shall_v add_v thus_o much_o i_o do_v not_o confident_o affirm_v it_o i_o only_o propose_v it_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o free_a and_o vnprejudiced_a mind_n and_o leave_v they_o full_o the_o liberty_n to_o embrace_v or_o reject_v it_o as_o they_o see_v ca●se_v only_o i_o will_v desire_v they_o well_o to_o consider_v how_o many_o and_o great_a thing_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n in_o he_o dwell_v al●_n the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godbead_n he_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o head_n of_o vital_a influence_n to_o all_o his_o member_n he_o be_v the_o universal_a lawgiver_n and_o light_n of_o all_o man_n and_o will_v be_v the_o universal_a judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n which_o do_v imply_v great_a largeness_n of_o knowledge_n wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o by_o consequence_n a_o very_a extensive_a presence_n 19_o but_o what_o mean_v all_o this_o long_a discourse_n why_o this_o if_o extension_n of_o presence_n be_v reconcileable_a and_o consistent_a with_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o glorify_a estate_n it_o may_v be_v reconcileable_a with_o it_o in_o the_o bless_a if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a man_n notwithstanding_o his_o presence_n be_v extend_v to_o very_o vast_a distance_n the_o bless_a may_v be_v so_o though_o their_o presence_n be_v extend_v in_o some_o good_a degree_n and_o measure_n and_o if_o the_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o holy_a jesus_n be_v capable_a of_o these_o extension_n and_o this_o amplitude_n the_o same_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o in_o the_o bless_a in_o their_o degree_n and_o proportion_n 20._o and_o this_o extension_n of_o presence_n will_v very_o much_o increase_v their_o intuitive_a knowledge_n they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o see_v and_o observe_v at_o one_o view_n much_o of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o many_o of_o the_o production_n of_o his_o infinite_a power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n by_o it_o they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o observe_v the_o connexion_n and_o dependence_n of_o thing_n on_o each_o other_o and_o consequent_o the_o beauty_n and_o harmony_n of_o they_o which_o will_v very_o much_o affect_v &_o delight_n they_o he_o that_o behold_v one_o piece_n or_o part_n of_o a_o curious_a picture_n or_o statue_n be_v not_o move_v or_o delight_v by_o it_o but_o he_o that_o behold_v it_o altogether_o and_o observe_v the_o relation_n and_o symmetry_n of_o its_o part_n to_o and_o with_o each_o other_o be_v even_o transport_v with_o the_o admiration_n of_o it_o he_o that_o view_v only_o one_o part_n of_o a_o landscape_n find_v peradventure_o but_o little_a pleasure_n in_o the_o prospect_n of_o it_o but_o he_o that_o see_v it_o altogether_o and_o in_o its_o whole_a extent_n and_o dimension_n find_v a_o marvellous_a complaisance_n therein_o 21._o though_o this_o extension_n of_o presence_n in_o the_o future_a state_n shall_v be_v doubt_v and_o consequent_o the_o increase_n of_o intuitive_a knowledge_n thereby_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v very_o much_o increase_v by_o facility_n of_o motion_n from_o place_n to_o place_n which_o almost_o all_o divine_n and_o christian_n do_v acknowledge_v a_o power_n of_o property_n inherent_a in_o the_o bless_a all_o confess_v a_o power_n of_o remove_v themselves_o from_o one_o determinate_a spot_n of_o the_o universe_n to_o another_o with_o incredible_a swiftness_n for_o among_o other_o property_n of_o the_o glorious_a body_n wherewith_o they_o will_v be_v invest_v at_o the_o

than_o these_o gross_a and_o earthly_a body_n that_o we_o now_o bear_v about_o with_o we_o 22._o the_o bless_a be_v thus_o agile_a and_o fit_a for_o motion_n they_o may_v as_o easy_o pass_v from_o
