then_o all_o will_v be_v gospel-professor_n because_o they_o will_v be_v rich_a and_o great_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v honour_v of_o man_n and_o to_o enjoy_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o

those_o that_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n lose_v the_o savour_n and_o esteem_v of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n as_o contemptible_a man_n of_o another_o world_n as_o not_o worthy_a

because_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o a_o self-denying_a creature_n that_o a_o man_n must_v deny_v himself_o in_o the_o honour_n riches_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n and_o love_n christ_n

they_o do_v embrace_v the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n offer_v they_o they_o may_v live_v and_o this_o do_v appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o father_n himself_o that_o this_o be_v truth_n for_o he_o say_v as_o i_o live_v i_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o that_o he_o live_v ezek._n 18._o 32._o and_o do_v manifest_v the_o same_o in_o isai_n 49._o 6._o where_o he_o say_v that_o

thus_o you_o see_v the_o engagement_n of_o the_o father_n for_o it_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n that_o he_o will_v have_v all_o 〈◊〉_d to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o

for_o this_o end_n the_o father_n have_v enable_v the_o son_n with_o all_o sufficiency_n be_v full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n and_o give_v all_o power_n into_o his_o hand_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v

to_o perform_v the_o covenant_n on_o his_o part_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o incomprehensible_a love_n of_o the_o father_n that_o he_o shall_v engage_v himself_o thus_o unto_o the_o world_n that_o he_o will_v send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o teacher_n to_o all_o the_o world_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v

want_v on_o his_o part_n to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o world_n and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n the_o son_n strike_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o father_n for_o these_o be_v the_o party_n
