i_o there_o must_v be_v a_o meeting_n here_o the_o son_n must_v glorify_v the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n must_v glorify_v the_o son_n so_o you_o see_v very_o weighty_a argument_n of_o this_o

thereof_o look_v the_o hundred_o and_o ten_o psalm_n there_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n say_v to_o my_o lord_n that_o be_v the_o father_n say_v to_o the_o son_n for_o both_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o

of_o the_o son_n that_o god_n have_v put_v they_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o mediator_n the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v a_o sure_a argument_n that_o the_o father_n will_v keep_v they_o everlasting_o if_o thou_o be_v give_v once_o to_o the_o mediator_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n unpossible_a that_o thou_o can_v be_v lose_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o like_o the_o gift_n of_o man_n when_o they_o have_v give_v the_o gift_n they_o care_v not_o for_o it_o what_o to_o do_v have_v they_o with_o it_o it_o be_v not_o they_o but_o when_o the_o father_n give_v the_o choose_a once_o to_o

these_o word_n two_o remedy_n against_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o world_n the_o godly_a have_v two_o remedy_n against_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o world_n the_o first_o be_v when_o the_o

his_o own_o still_o fight_v on_o in_o a_o battle_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n keep_v they_o wonderful_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o persecution_n so_o that_o the_o world_n will_v be_v compel_v to_o

as_o the_o lord_n have_v his_o work_n in_o their_o hand_n all_o the_o tyrant_n under_o the_o heaven_n have_v no_o power_n to_o harm_v they_o and_o namely_o a_o preacher_n till_o he_o end_v his_o work_n for_o the_o which_o the_o lord_n set_v he_o in_o the_o world_n all_o the_o tyrant_n in_o the_o earth_n can_v take_v his_o life_n from_o he_o no_o they_o can_v touch_v the_o least_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n for_o they_o be_v number_v yea_o rather_o ere_o he_o get_v any_o harm_n the_o lord_n will_v send_v his_o angel_n out_o of_o heaven_n as_o he_o send_v he_o to_o peter_n and_o pull_v he_o out_o of_o the_o throat_n of_o death_n now_o brethren_n look_v to_o the_o order_n which_o the_o lord_n use_v in_o these_o remedy_n he_o will_v not_o incontinent_a take_v his_o own_o out_o of_o the_o

the_o glory_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o of_o before_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n how_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v his_o own_o and_o he_o will_v not_o at_o a_o instant_n
