much_o of_o the_o first_o observation_n the_o second_o follow_v viz._n doct._n ii_o that_o god_n will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o be_v call_v the_o god_n of_o such_o as_o renounce_v this_o world_n devote_v

and_o life_n than_o this_o first_o then_o let_v we_o take_v notice_n what_o it_o imply_v for_o god_n to_o be_v call_v the_o god_n of_o any_o person_n he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o all_o in_o a_o general_n sense_n as_o have_v before_o be_v intimate_v for_o he_o make_v and_o sustain_v they_o and_o he_o alone_o can_v make_v they_o happy_a but_o when_o such_o a_o phrase_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n apply_v to_o any_o peculiarly_a it_o denote_v a_o special_a interest_n in_o he_o in_o a_o covenant_n way_n a_o peculiar_a propriety_n in_o he_o found_v on_o that_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o substance_n whereof_o we_o have_v thus_o deliver_v to_o we_o in_o short_a i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n it_o necessary_o therefore_o denote_v a_o

give_v himself_o to_o they_o and_o therefore_o also_o this_o appropriation_n must_v needs_o imply_v some_o very_a great_a and_o extraordinary_a happiness_n it_o be_v declare_v by_o god_n that_o he_o that_o overcome_v shall_v inherit_v all_o thing_n 7._o but_o as_o if_o this_o be_v nothing_o notwithstanding_o all_o thing_n be_v take_v in_o it_o be_v add_v and_o i_o will_v be_v his_o god_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n one_o will_v have_v think_v nothing_o can_v have_v be_v more_o than_o all_o but_o however_o this_o be_v add_v because_o all_o all_o thing_n else_o be_v as_o nothing_o without_o it_o but_o alas_o who_o can_v tell_v what_o it_o be_v and_o what_o it_o imply_v for_o god_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o any_o one_o thus_o much_o in_o general_n be_v plain_a that_o it_o intimate_v he_o will_v act_n for_o such_o a_o person_n good_a as_o become_v a_o be_v infinite_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o perfection_n but_o come_v to_o particular_n and_o we_o be_v soon_o at_o a_o loss_n that_o man_n that_o shall_v pretend_v to_o unfold_v it_o must_v be_v able_a to_o fathom_n the_o boundless_a excellency_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n which_o be_v all_o engage_v so_o far_o as_o the_o good_a of_o the_o party_n to_o who_o god_n have_v make_v himself_o over_o be_v concern_v whosoever_o have_v god_n for_o his_o god_n his_o mercy_n be_v he_o to_o pardon_v he_o his_o wisdom_n

in_o short_a all_o that_o be_v in_o god_n be_v he_o so_o far_o as_o his_o necessity_n can_v require_v and_o his_o capacity_n can_v reach_v so_o that_o this_o be_v most_o evident_o the_o very_a top_n of_o our_o happiness_n but_o let_v it_o be_v observe_v withal_o that_o in_o such_o a_o phrase_n as_o this_o there_o be_v ever_o imply_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o atone_n blood_n of_o the_o mediator_n
