look_v how_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 2_o cor._n 8._o say_v he_o there_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o the_o church_n of_o macedonia_n the_o grace_n that_o be_v

for_o say_v the_o apostle_n verse_n 3._o to_o their_o power_n i_o bear_v they_o record_v yea_o quoth_v he_o above_o their_o power_n there_o be_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v good_a so_o then_o have_v we_o ability_n to_o do_v good_a it_o be_v of_o grace_n have_v we_o willing_a heart_n to_o do_v good_a it_o be_v of_o grace_n do_v we_o then_o any_o

opus_fw-la indebitum_fw-la it_o be_v above_o a_o man_n desert_n it_o be_v a_o work_n that_o be_v not_o due_a that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v for_o a_o man_n can_v merit_v nothing_o by_o

we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n if_o we_o will_v merit_v any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v do_v somewhat_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v ay_o but_o how_o far_o short_a come_v

there_o must_v be_v some_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n that_o be_v do_v and_o the_o reward_n that_o be_v give_v of_o condignity_n now_o i_o pray_v consider_v but_o what_o that_o reward_n be_v

and_o what_o be_v it_o look_v in_o 2_o cor._n 4.17_o see_v what_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n call_v it_o there_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_v eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n these_o light_n momentany_a

it_o the_o first_o way_n his_o glory_n if_o you_o take_v it_o so_o his_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n now_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v twofold_a there_o be_v a_o absolute_a glory_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o relative_n glory_n of_o god_n the_o absolute_a glory_n of_o god_n be_v that_o same_o incomprehensible_a ineffable_a majesty_n of_o the_o deity_n dwell_v in_o light_n that_o no_o man_n can_v attain_v to_o this_o glory_n it_o please_v god_n in_o some_o measure_n to_o communicate_v to_o the_o creature_n

of_o god_n this_o can_v be_v change_v no_o more_o than_o god_n himself_o can_n but_o now_o there_o be_v a_o relative_a glory_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o glory_n that_o man_n give_v to_o god_n in_o
