like_o peter_n if_o he_o see_v one_o love_n one_o virtue_n he_o make_v he_o love_v another_o virtue_n if_o he_o see_v one_o hate_n one_o vice_n he_o make_v he_o hate_v another_o vice_n if_o he_o see_v

thy_o servant_n hear_v 3._o than_o he_o take_v he_o up_o to_o the_o mount_n like_o moses_n and_o open_v his_o heart_n unto_o he_o teach_v he_o a_o way_n to_o make_v use_n of_o all_o that_o he_o see_v

have_v as_o good_a a_o blessing_n as_o judah_n but_o when_o jaacob_n bless_v he_o genesis_n the_o 35._o chapter_n &_o 22._o verse_n he_o remember_v his_o sin_n with_o bilhah_n and_o therefore_o curb_v his_o blessing_n for_o when_o he_o bless_v he_o he_o say_v 4._o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v excellent_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v reuben_n thou_o shall_v have_v some_o thing_n but_o thou_o shall_v not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o thou_o shall_v have_v because_o of_o thy_o uncleanness_n with_o bilhah_n so_o moses_n shall_v have_v go_v to_o canaan_n as_o well_o as_o caleb_n but_o god_n remember_v his_o murmur_a at_o the_o water_n of_o bitterness_n and_o when_o he_o desire_v to_o go_v unto_o it_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v he_o but_o let_v he_o see_v it_o from_o a_o hill_n and_o so_o he_o die_v so_o the_o three_o servant_n shall_v have_v receive_v as_o many_o talent_n as_o his_o fellow_n but_o the_o lord_n remember_v how_o he_o hide_v the_o talon_n which_o he_o have_v and_o therefore_o will_v give_v he_o no_o more_o lest_o he_o shall_v hide_v they_o too_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v more_o understanding_n more_o judgement_n and_o more_o knowledge_n but_o god_n see_v what_o we_o do_v with_o this_o and_o therefore_o stay_v his_o hand_n lest_o we_o shall_v abuse_v any_o more_o this_o be_v saint_n johns_n meaning_n when_o he_o say_v god_n give_v grace_n for_o grace_n 16._o that_o be_v where_o he_o find_v one_o grace_n there_o he_o give_v another_o this_o be_v saint_n paul_n meaning_n rom._n 1._o where_o he_o say_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n signify_v that_o they_o which_o have_v faith_n shall_v have_v more_o faith_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o fearful_a sign_n that_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n nor_o grace_n if_o god_n do_v

we_o shall_v have_v knowledge_n if_o we_o have_v knowledge_n we_o shall_v have_v zeal_n if_o we_o have_v zeal_n we_o shall_v have_v holiness_n as_o he_o which_o have_v break_v one_o commandment_n be_v

when_o it_o come_v to_o this_o pass_n that_o god_n have_v a_o delight_n to_o do_v a_o man_n good_a then_o ask_v what_o thou_o will_v say_v solomon_n to_o his_o mother_n and_o i_o will_v not_o say_v
