it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n but_o because_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v perform_v successive_o as_o thus_o a_o man_n sin_v than_o he_o bring_v a_o sacrifice_n sin_n again_o and_o then_o he_o bring_v another_o sicrifice_n and_o once_o every_o year_n the_o highpriest_n go_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holy_a to_o make_v a_o atonement_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o poor_a

the_o 4._o he_o answer_v and_o speak_v unto_o those_o that_o stand_v before_o he_o say_v take_v away_o the_o filthy_a garment_n from_o he_o and_o unto_o he_o he_o say_v behold_v i_o have_v cause_v

that_o be_v bring_v against_o joshua_n by_o satan_n for_o his_o filthy_a garment_n and_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n christ_n now_o if_o a_o poor_a soul_n fall_v into_o any_o sin_n defile_v his_o garment_n satan_n he_o come_v in_o and_o take_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o he_o stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o accuse_v by_o reason_n of_o this_o filthy_a garment_n but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n he_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n take_v up_o the_o cause_n and_o answer_n to_o the_o accusation_n true_a lord_n this_o poor_a soul_n indeed_o have_v

consider_v he_o in_o that_o respect_n and_o though_o he_o have_v filthy_a garment_n now_o upon_o he_o yet_o i_o will_v give_v he_o change_v of_o raiment_n and_o take_v away_o his_o filthy_a garment_n thus_o the_o lord_n christ_n step_v in_o to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o answer_n to_o all_o those_o accusation_n that_o be_v bring_v against_o he_o to_o god_n the_o father_n this_o be_v the_o three_o

of_o equity_n and_o in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n i_o do_v here_o call_v for_o this_o man_n pardon_n thus_o christ_n intercede_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v brief_o wherein_o the_o intercession_n of_o

3._o of_o zach._n that_o joshua_n go_v away_o with_o a_o fair_a mitre_n upon_o his_o head_n ver_fw-la 5._o and_o i_o say_v let_v they_o set_v a_o fair_a myter_n or_o a_o crown_n upon_o his_o head_n

one_o for_o moses_n and_o one_o for_o elias_n and_o one_o for_o jesus_n christ_n no_o more_o for_o christ_n than_o for_o moses_n now_o the_o lord_n take_v peter_n off_o from_o all_o his_o mistake_n your_o eye_n be_v upon_o moses_n say_v he_o but_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n almighty_a be_o well_o please_v in_o my_o son_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v i_o be_o well_o please_v with_o you_o and_o with_o your_o duty_n through_o this_o my_o son_n and_o not_o through_o moses_n and_o therefore_o hear_v christ_n and_o not_o moses_n he_o lay_v this_o in_o

not_o a_o sigh_o not_o a_o groan_n not_o a_o duty_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n take_v it_o and_o carry_v it_o in_o and_o present_v it_o to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o i_o whereby_o i_o have_v

blessing_n to_o they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v all_o his_o curser_n to_o be_v blesser_n it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o all_o a_o man_n curse_n to_o become_v blessing_n but_o now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o all_o a_o man_n curser_n to_o be_v blester_n to_o he_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n bless_v he_o will_v make_v

the_o curse_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o blessing_n so_o there_o be_v many_o that_o deal_v thus_o by_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o these_o day_n they_o get_v upon_o such_o a_o high_a mountain_n such_o

what_o a_o mighty_a encouragement_n be_v here_o unto_o all_o man_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v be_v bless_v by_o he_o but_o yet_o further_o as_o there_o be_v a_o encouragement_n for_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n so_o this_o argument_n do_v also_o encourage_v we_o to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o good_a way_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o all_o opposition_n that_o we_o meet_v withal_o i_o say_v it_o do_v speak_v encouragement_n to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o face_n of_o all_o opposition_n for_o when_o abraham_n have_v be_v at_o battle_n than_o come_v melchisedec_n the_o highpriest_n to_o bless_v he_o and_o when_o a_o poor_a soul_n go_v out_o to_o battle_n for_o christ_n then_o come_v our_o great_a melchisedec_n our_o highpriest_n and_o bless_v that_o soul_n the_o time_n of_o opposition_n it_o be_v the_o time_n of_o christ_n blessing_n therefore_o why_o shall_v i_o be_v dilcourage_v or_o beat_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n by_o reason_n of_o any_o opposition_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o great_a time_n of_o opposition_n be_v christ_n blessing-time_n again_o this_o argument_n do_v not_o only_o speak_v encouragement_n against_o all_o oppsition_n but_o it_o do_v also_o encourage_v we_o to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o good_a way_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v call_v unto_o it_o though_o we_o have_v but_o little_a strength_n and_o weak_a part_n though_o there_o be_v but_o little_a oil_n in_o the_o cruse_n though_o there_o be_v but_o little_a meal_n in_o the_o barrel_n if_o christ_n call_v to_o the_o work_n he_o will_v bless_v a_o man_n in_o it_o and_o when_o christ_n bless_v he_o do_v multiply_v and_o increase_v a_o man_n part_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o as_o when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o sit_v down_o and_o eat_v he_o do_v multiply_v and_o increase_v the_o bread_n in_o their_o eat_n so_o now_o do_v christ_n call_v i_o to_o any_o work_n or_o service_n well_o then_o though_o i_o be_o weak_a though_o i_o have_v not_o oil_n enough_o though_o i_o have_v not_o meal_n enough_o though_o i_o have_v not_o strength_n enough_o yet_o the_o lord_n christ_n will_v bless_v and_o when_o he_o bless_v he_o do_v increase_v and_o

all_o this_o be_v true_a why_o shall_v not_o a_o man_n be_v content_v with_o his_o condition_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o mean_a belove_a in_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o not_o enough_o in_o christ_n blessing_n true_o he_o be_v too_o covetous_a who_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n will_v not_o satisfy_v well_o what_o ever_o my_o condition_n be_v yet_o i_o may_v be_v bless_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v the_o lord_n blessed_v i_o then_o will_v i_o be_v content_v with_o my_o condition_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o mean_a i_o have_v all_n as_o jacob_n oncesaid_a i_o have_v all._n yea_o in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o place_n here_o be_v that_o which_o if_o well_o study_v and_o consider_v will_v provoke_v we_o all_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o lord_n and_o continual_o to_o

bless_v and_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o i_o say_v our_o life_n here_o be_v heaven_n begin_v and_o therefore_o a_o christian_a shall_v be_v always_o blessing_n and_o praise_v the_o lord_n well_o but_o what_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v always_o blessing_n quest_n and_o praise_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o knowledge_n that_o a_o man_n be_v bless_v by_o christ_n answ_n will_v make_v a_o man_n bless_v god_n for_o christ_n and_o therefore_o consider_v how_o the_o apostle_n reason_n in_o the_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n &_o the_o 3._o vers_fw-la bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o

he_o will_v break_v forth_o into_o blessing_n and_o praise_v of_o the_o lord_n oh_o bless_a be_v the_o lord_n bless_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n &_o bless_v the_o lord_n all_o that_o be_v within_o
