deliverance_n in_o all_o our_o danger_n for_o support_n under_o all_o our_o trouble_n and_o for_o comfort_n under_o all_o our_o sorrow_n because_o he_o be_v eternal_a and_o therefore_o the_o same_o

from_o the_o evil_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o urge_v lord_n thou_o be_v still_o the_o same_o god_n eternal_a in_o thy_o essence_n immutable_a in_o thy_o attribute_n thy_o power_n thy_o wisdom_n and_o thy_o mercy_n be_v the_o same_o that_o ever_o they_o be_v and_o therefore_o vouchsafe_v unto_o we_o the_o same_o favour_n this_o plea_n offer_v a_o holy_a violence_n to_o heaven_n a_o violence_n that_o be_v please_v and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n which_o he_o will_v not_o he_o can_v resist_v if_o we_o endeavour_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o disposition_n and_o affection_n with_o the_o

of_o god_n former_a love_a kindness_n and_o the_o great_a and_o wonderful_a work_n that_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o their_o father_n psal_n 78.4_o 6_o 7._o we_o will_v show_v to_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o strength_n and_o the_o wonderful_a work_n that_o he_o have_v do_v that_o one_o generation_n may_v declare_v they_o to_o another_o that_o they_o may_v set_v their_o hope_n in_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o eternity_n and_o unchangableness_n of_o god_n be_v of_o vast_a and_o infinite_a comfort_n and_o a_o mighty_a

yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v finish_v the_o doxology_n and_o therein_o consider_v the_o four_o glorious_a attribute_n ascribe_v unto_o god_n in_o it_o his_o

and_o ratification_n of_o all_o in_o that_o short_a particle_n amen_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v speak_v but_o very_o brief_o and_o so_o shut_v up_o this_o whole_a subject_n this_o word_n amen_o be_v sometime_o prefix_v before_o a_o speech_n and_o sometime_o affix_v after_o it_o when_o it_o be_v prefix_v before_o it_o be_v assertory_n and_o so_o we_o find_v it_o very_o often_o in_o the_o evangelist_n for_o wheresoever_o our_o saviour_n use_v the_o word_n very_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o amen_o very_o very_o isay_n unto_o thou_o i._n e._n amen_o amen_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o which_o be_v a_o vehement_a assertion_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o necessity_n of_o what_o he_o speak_v and_o our_o saviour_n use_v it_o to_o gain_v the_o more_o attention_n and_o belief_n to_o what_o

so_o john_n 16.23_o amen_n amen_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v ask_v of_o the_o father_n in_o my_o name_n he_o will_v give_v it_o you_o and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o place_n in_o the_o evangelist_n how_o backward_o be_v we_o to_o believe_v since_o our_o infidelity_n be_v such_o that_o it_o constrain_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o to_o use_v asseveration_n and_o protestation_n to_o win_v our_o assent_n unto_o he_o second_o as_o this_o particle_n amen_o use_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o a_o speech_n be_v assertory_n of_o the_o undoubted_a truth_n of_o it_o so_o when_o it_o be_v subjoin_v and_o use_v at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v precatory_a and_o signify_v our_o earnest_a desire_n to_o have_v our_o prayer_n hear_v and_o our_o petition_n grant_v psal_n 41.13_o bless_a be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n from_o everlasting_a to_o everlasting_a amen_o and_o amen_n psal_n 72.19_o let_v the_o whole_a earth_n be_v fill_v with_o his_o glory_n amen_o and_o amen_n psal_n 106.48_o bless_a be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n from_o everlasting_a to_o everlasting_a and_o let_v all_o the_o people_n say_v amen_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n of_o the_o

teach_v we_o to_o put_v up_o all_o our_o petition_n first_o with_o understanding_n due_o weigh_v and_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v we_o ask_v of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o use_v vain_a and_o insignificant_a babble_n how_o can_v we_o seal_v and_o close_v they_o up_o with_o a_o hearty_a amen_o and_o this_o condemn_v the_o mockery_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o because_o god_n understand_v what_o be_v utter_v in_o a_o language_n to_o they_o unknown_a think_v that_o they_o may_v lawful_o pray_v to_o he_o in_o a_o tongue_n which_o they_o themselves_o understand_v not_o but_o with_o what_o zeal_n with_o what_o affection_n can_v they_o close_v up_o such_o prayer_n with_o a_o amen_o this_o be_v like_o set_v a_o seal_n to_o a_o instrument_n which_o they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o contain_v and_o be_v express_o condemn_v by_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 14.16_o how_o shall_v he_o that_o occupi_v the_o room_n of_o the_o unlearned_a say_v amen_o at_o thy_o give_v of_o thanks_o see_v he_o understand_v not_o what_o thou_o say_v second_o it_o teach_v we_o to_o present_v all_o our_o request_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n with_o fervent_a zeal_n and_o affection_n amen_o be_v a_o wing_n to_o our_o prayer_n it_o be_v the_o bow_n that_o shoot_v they_o up_o to_o heaven_n and_o although_o every_o petition_n as_o we_o utter_v they_o before_o god_n shall_v be_v accompany_v with_o a_o

amen_o wherein_o we_o do_v as_o it_o be_v brief_o and_o succinct_o pray_v over_o again_o all_o that_o we_o have_v pray_v before_o and_o in_o one_o word_n beg_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o all_o that_o we_o have_v before_o ask_v of_o he_o and_o therefore_o whether_o we_o pray_v ourselves_o or_o join_v in_o prayer_n with_o other_o and_o make_v their_o petition_n we_o we_o ought_v to_o attest_v our_o understanding_n of_o our_o assent_n unto_o and_o our_o earnest_a desire_n after_o the_o mercy_n that_o be_v beg_v by_o seal_v up_o the_o prayer_n with_o a_o amen_o and_o certain_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a beseem_a thing_n if_o amen_n be_v audible_a and_o sound_a unless_o we_o be_v ashamed_a to_o be_v think_v to_o pray_v when_o other_o pray_v and_o to_o make_v use_n of_o other_o expression_n to_o present_v our_o petition_n when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o public_a worship_n we_o be_v not_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o minister_n only_o as_o pray_v for_o the_o people_n but_o he_o be_v the_o people_n mouth_n unto_o god_n and_o it_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n which_o he_o present_v they_o pray_v with_o he_o and_o by_o he_o and_o every_o petition_n that_o he_o
to_o god_n and_o they_o become_v his_o proper_a name_n god_n be_v holy_a wise_a powerful_a just_a merciful_a true_a etc._n etc._n and_o so_o be_v likewise_o some_o of_o his_o most_o excellent_a creature_n who_o he_o have_v make_v like_o unto_o himself_o but_o then_o the_o difference_n between_o god_n and_o they_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o his_o wisdom_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o attribute_n be_v original_o from_o he_o they_o derivative_o from_o he_o his_o infinite_a and_o boundless_a they_o limit_v and_o stint_v his_o invariable_a and_o unchangeable_a there_o be_v subject_n to_o mutation_n and_o decay_n and_o total_a abolition_n so_o that_o in_o these_o three_o respect_n even_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n be_v themselves_o incommunicable_a and_o so_o they_o be_v his_o name_n whereby_o he_o be_v know_v and_o difference_v from_o all_o other_o being_n whatsoever_o but_o may_v it_o not_o be_v here_o say_v to_o i_o as_o it_o be_v to_o manoah_n judge_n 13.18_o why_o ask_v thou_o after_o my_o name_n see_v it_o be_v secret_a and_o wonderful_a indeed_o we_o can_v no_o more_o find_v out_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o perfection_n than_o we_o can_v his_o nature_n and_o essence_n for_o both_o be_v infinite_a and_o unsearchable_a and_o there_o be_v two_o expression_n in_o scripture_n that_o make_v this_o knowledge_n impossible_a the_o one_o of_o they_o quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o other_o one_o be_v that_o god_n dwell_v in_o that_o light_n to_o which_o no_o man_n can_v approach_v 1_o tim._n 6.16_o scrutator_fw-la majestatis_fw-la opprimetur_fw-la à_fw-la gloriâ_fw-la he_o that_o will_v too_o busy_o pry_v into_o majesty_n shall_v be_v oppress_v and_o dazzle_v with_o glory_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o thick_a darkness_n 2_o chron._n 6.1_o both_o imply_v the_o same_o impossibility_n of_o search_v out_o the_o almighty_a to_o perfection_n as_o job_n speak_v ch_n 11._o 7._o but_o though_o this_o comprehensive_a knowledge_n be_v impossible_a yet_o god_n have_v give_v we_o hint_n and_o trace_n of_o himself_o by_o which_o we_o may_v discover_v enough_o for_o our_o adoration_n though_o not_o perhaps_o for_o our_o satisfaction_n and_o there_o be_v two_o way_n whereby_o god_n have_v make_v know_v himself_o and_o his_o name_n unto_o we_o and_o they_o be_v by_o his_o work_n and_o by_o his_o word_n first_o we_o may_v spell_v out_o god_n name_n by_o his_o work_n and_o to_o this_o end_n serve_v those_o two_o great_a capital_a letter_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o air_n and_o sea_n yea_o there_o be_v no_o one_o creature_n how_o vile_a and_o contemptible_a soever_o it_o be_v but_o it_o read_v we_o lecture_n of_o the_o power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o great_a creator_n in_o which_o sense_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o rom._n 1.20_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v clear_o see_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n second_o more_o express_o and_o distinct_o by_o his_o word_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v nomenclatura_fw-la dei_fw-la by_o these_o we_o come_v to_o a_o more_o clear_a and_o evident_a knowledge_n of_o these_o attribute_n of_o god_n which_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n hold_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o a_o more_o obscure_a and_o confuse_a manner_n and_o by_o this_o likewise_o we_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o perfection_n of_o god_n which_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n can_v never_o have_v instruct_v we_o in_o as_o of_o a_o trinity_n in_o unity_n of_o the_o eternal_a generation_n and_o temporal_a incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n of_o the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o tenure_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v thing_n that_o can_v never_o have_v be_v know_v but_o by_o divine_a revelation_n indeed_o we_o may_v from_o the_o work_n of_o god_n alone_o gather_v knowledge_n enough_o of_o he_o to_o make_v we_o inexcusable_a if_o we_o worship_v he_o not_o as_o god_n for_o so_o do_v the_o heathen_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o forecited_a place_n rom._n 1.20_o but_o it_o be_v only_o from_o the_o word_n that_o we_o know_v so_o much_o of_o god_n as_o to_o make_v we_o eternal_o bless_a and_o happy_a here_o he_o have_v display_v his_o name_n the_o lord_n god_n gracious_a and_o merciful_a pardon_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n here_o alone_o have_v he_o make_v know_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o appoint_v the_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o himself_o that_o may_v prepare_v we_o for_o the_o eternal_a enjoyment_n of_o he_o in_o glory_n so_o that_o now_o we_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n his_o title_n as_o king_n lord_n creator_n father_n redeemer_n and_o the_o like_a and_o his_o attribute_n both_o communicable_a as_o justice_n holiness_n wisdom_n mercy_n and_o truth_n etc._n etc._n and_o incommunicable_a as_o infinite_a eternal_a vnchangeable_n omnipotent_a independent_a and_o such_o like_a and_o that_o both_o this_o name_n both_o of_o title_n and_o attribute_n be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o either_o by_o the_o work_v of_o god_n or_o by_o his_o word_n let_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n inquire_v what_o it_o be_v to_o hallow_v this_o name_n of_o god_n to_o hallow_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o sanctify_v or_o make_v holy_a so_o that_o hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n be_v no_o other_o than_o let_v thy_o name_n be_v make_v holy_a but_o here_o may_v be_v a_o question_n how_o can_v creature_n be_v say_v to_o make_v god_n holy_a whereas_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v they_o holy_a i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o threefold_a way_n of_o hallow_v or_o sanctify_v a_o thing_n or_o person_n one_o by_o dedication_n a_o second_o by_o infusion_n and_o a_o three_o by_o declaration_n first_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v hallow_v or_o make_v holy_a by_o dedication_n set_v they_o a_o part_n for_o holy_a uses_n and_o service_n so_o the_o first-born_a be_v say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o lord_n exod._n 13.2_o and_o that_o because_o among_o man_n the_o first-born_a be_v to_o be_v priest_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o among_o beast_n they_o be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o thus_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n and_o the_o whole_a tribe_n of_o levi_n who_o god_n take_v in_o exchange_n for_o the_o first-born_a be_v say_v to_o be_v consecrate_a and_o sanctify_a exod._n 28.41_o and_o many_o more_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n be_v it_o needful_a and_o thus_o at_o least_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o baptism_n ephes_n 5.26_o that_o be_v we_o be_v by_o that_o holy_a ordinance_n set_v apart_o and_o consecrate_a to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n thus_o one_o creature_n may_v sanctify_v and_o make_v another_o holy_a namely_o by_o dedication_n or_o separatiom_n to_o some_o sacred_a use_n and_o service_n and_o so_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v sanctify_v and_o hallow_v the_o element_n in_o the_o holy_a communion_n set_v they_o apart_o from_o common_a and_o ordinary_a use_n to_o that_o bless_a mystery_n second_o there_o be_v a_o sanctification_n or_o hallow_v by_o infusion_n or_o implant_n the_o real_a principle_n and_o habit_n of_o holiness_n into_o that_o which_o be_v hallow_v and_o thus_o god_n sanctify_v his_o elect_n by_o infuse_v of_o his_o grace_n into_o they_o and_o make_v they_o holy_a in_o some_o measure_n and_o similitude_n like_o himself_o so_o our_o saviour_n pray_v john_n 17.17_o sanctify_v they_o through_o thy_o truth_n thy_o word_n be_v truth_n and_o the_o apostle_n 1_o thes_n 5.23_o prays_n the_o very_a god_n of_o peace_n sanctify_v you_o whole_o in_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o sense_n be_v god_n name_n to_o be_v sanctify_v or_o hallow_v by_o we_o for_o thus_o to_o pray_v be_v to_o blaspheme_n three_o there_o be_v a_o sanctify_a by_o declaration_n when_o we_o acknowledge_v and_o reverence_v that_o as_o holy_a that_o be_v indeed_o so_o and_o thus_o only_o it_o be_v that_o creature_n may_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n so_o we_o have_v it_o use_v isa_n 29.23_o they_o shall_v sanctify_v my_o name_n and_o sanctify_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o jacob_n and_o shall_v fear_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n now_o thus_o to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o that_o other_o expression_n that_o common_o occur_v in_o scripture_n of_o glorify_v god_n we_o can_v add_v nothing_o to_o his_o infinite_a perfection_n nor_o to_o the_o lustre_n and_o brightness_n of_o his_o crown_n yet_o then_o be_v we_o say_v to_o sanctify_v and_o glorify_v god_n when_o in_o our_o most_o reverend_a thought_n we_o observe_v and_o admire_v his_o holiness_n and_o the_o bright_a coruscation_n of_o his_o attribute_n and_o when_o we_o endeavour_v by_o all_o holy_a way_n to_o declare_v they_o
