heaven_n and_o earth_n that_o appear_v to_o we_o from_o whence_o come_v he_o but_o from_o heaven_n and_o where_o be_v he_o but_o in_o a_o place_n of_o glory_n before_o these_o visible_a heaven_n and_o

backpart_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o behold_v his_o forepart_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o behold_v he_o in_o his_o glory_n again_o when_o israel_n behold_v the_o backpart_n of_o god_n in_o the_o

not_o be_v able_a to_o behold_v the_o glory_n of_o their_o maker_n either_o in_o himself_o or_o in_o his_o angel_n who_o appearance_n will_v darken_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o earth_n whereby_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n must_v be_v somewhere_o the_o earth_n not_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v their_o glory_n and_o where_o shall_v they_o be_v but_o

the_o law_n be_v give_v in_o the_o mount_n he_o come_v from_o heaven_n as_o also_o when_o he_o speak_v unto_o the_o prophet_n he_o speak_v from_o heaven_n and_o also_o at_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n from_o whence_o come_v that_o glorious_a company_n of_o angel_n but_o from_o heaven_n and_o when_o there_o come_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n and_o when_o the_o

be_v speak_v on_o at_o large_a if_o time_n will_v permit_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n where_o god_n be_v more_o glorious_a than_o he_o be_v in_o earth_n 6._o reason_n that_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n do_v appear_v from_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o look_v upon_o all_o thing_n below_o as_o nothing_o with_o their_o desire_n to_o seek_v after_o heaven_n and_o

extend_v to_o all_o man_n because_o christ_n be_v a_o propitiation_n or_o sacrifice_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o for_o our_o sin_n only_o but_o for_o and_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n 1_o john_n 2._o 2._o whereby_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o covenant_n do_v extend_v to_o all_o man_n 3._o because_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o covenant_n do_v extend_v to_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o all_o man_n be_v command_v to_o repent_v and_o believe_v because_o mercy_n be_v promise_v to_o all_o man_n as_o christ_n say_v i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o sinner_n ●●_o

for_o reject_v the_o gospel_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v declare_v when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n rom._n 2._o 16._o and_o god_n

it_o do_v appear_v that_o it_o do_v extend_v to_o all_o man_n 6._o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o love_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n do_v extend_v as_o far_o as_o his_o

and_o his_o covenant_n a_o free_a covenant_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o his_o gospel_n do_v extend_v to_o all_o because_o his_o love_n do_v much_o more_o appear_v when_o it_o be_v
