empty_a of_o other_o thing_n so_o he_o be_v full_a of_o these_o to_o be_v a_o loose_a in_o other_o thing_n so_o he_o be_v a_o gainer_n in_o this_o such_o a_o one_o have_v indeed_o choose_v the_o better_a part_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v take_v from_o he_o second_o affection_n we_o shall_v therefore_o answer_v the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n with_o a_o fullness_n of_o affection_n full_o to_o believe_v and_o trust_v in_o he_o full_o to_o love_v and_o adore_v he_o full_o to_o joy_n and_o delight_n in_o he_o for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o the_o affection_n shall_v be_v answerable_a to_o the_o object_n a_o little_a excellency_n deserve_v at_o our_o hand_n a_o little_a love_n and_o esteem_v more_o excellency_n more_o love_n but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n of_o excellency_n we_o ought_v to_o prosecute_v it_o with_o all_o fullness_n of_o affection_n all_o excellency_n of_o the_o creature_n in_o comparison_n of_o this_o be_v but_o a_o drop_n to_o the_o ocean_n and_o as_o a_o spark_n to_o the_o whole_a element_n of_o fire_n if_o therefore_o we_o proportion_v our_o affection_n to_o the_o object_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o square_v of_o they_o we_o must_v bestow_v upon_o the_o creature_n but_o a_o drop_n of_o love_n and_o delight_n but_o the_o full_a stream_n of_o our_o affection_n shall_v run_v after_o christ_n in_o who_o be_v all_o the_o fullness_n of_o perfection_n it_o be_v true_a as_o man_n hide_v treasure_n from_o thief_n under_o straw_n or_o some_o other_o base_a cover_n so_o god_n hide_v this_o full_a excellency_n from_o the_o world_n under_o a_o base_a outside_n that_o his_o secret_a one_o only_o may_v find_v it_o and_o that_o other_o true_o blind_v may_v not_o see_v but_o stumble_v at_o it_o so_o he_o hide_v christ_n himself_o under_o a_o carpenter_n son_n so_o he_o hide_v divine_a mystery_n under_o the_o mean_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v hide_v under_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v and_o under_o sheepskin_n and_o goatskin_n such_o as_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n of_o excellency_n notwithstanding_o for_o if_o ever_o we_o see_v beauty_n in_o the_o sun_n moon_n star_n man_n woman_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o all_o must_v be_v more_o abundant_o in_o god_n who_o be_v the_o maker_n giver_n and_o author_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n as_o david_n reason_v he_o that_o make_v the_o eye_n shall_v not_o he_o see_v and_o he_o that_o make_v the_o ear_n shall_v not_o he_o hear_v so_o he_o that_o make_v these_o thing_n shall_v he_o not_o have_v they_o more_o eminent_o in_o himself_o for_o as_o the_o worth_n and_o value_n of_o many_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v in_o one_o piece_n of_o gold_n so_o all_o the_o petty_a excellency_n which_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o in_o the_o creature_n be_v unite_v in_o god_n yea_o all_o the_o whole_a volume_n of_o perfection_n which_o be_v spread_v through_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v epitomise_v in_o he_o why_o do_v we_o not_o then_o with_o saint_n paul_n trample_v on_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o excellent_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n why_o do_v we_o not_o with_o david_n turn_v our_o heart_n eye_n and_o affection_n from_o behold_v vanity_n and_o pitch_v they_o all_o in_o he_o why_o do_v we_o not_o recollect_v our_o affection_n and_o gather_v up_o our_o thought_n which_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o and_o busy_v about_o a_o thousand_o trifle_n and_o bestow_v they_o all_o on_o he_o in_o who_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o excellency_n beauty_n and_o perfection_n three_o christ._n let_v we_o also_o therefore_o be_v content_a with_o christ_n have_v our_o heart_n satisfy_v with_o he_o and_o his_o fullness_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n go_v not_o to_o the_o brook_n of_o teman_fw-mi the_o break_a cistern_n of_o rome_n as_o saint_n merit_n church_n treasure_n and_o the_o like_a for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n in_o christ_n that_o need_v not_o 2._o in_o he_o we_o be_v complete_a second_o thing_n for_o temporal_a thing_n be_v content_a with_o he_o alone_o for_o he_o be_v our_o fullness_n even_o in_o they_o also_o for_o the_o better_a conceive_n whereof_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o first_o adam_n bring_v a_o general_a emptiness_n over_o all_o the_o world_n for_o though_o the_o world_n be_v full_a of_o pomp_n and_o pleasure_n as_o saint_n john_n call_v they_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n yet_o proper_o it_o be_v empty_a because_o it_o be_v not_o full_a of_o that_o which_o it_o shall_v be_v even_o as_o we_o say_v a_o well_o be_v empty_a though_o it_o be_v full_a of_o air_n so_o all_o creature_n if_o not_o fill_v with_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v for_o emptiness_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o absence_n of_o entity_n 〈…〉_z or_o of_o something_o that_o be_v but_o of_o that_o be_v that_o be_v due_a and_o shall_v give_v fill_v to_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v full_a hence_o therefore_o not_o only_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o all_o creature_n also_o be_v say_v to_o be_v empty_a vanity_n of_o vanity_n 1_o say_v solomon_n that_o be_v emptiness_n of_o emptiness_n the_o whole_a creation_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n 8._o say_v paul_n that_o be_v to_o emptiness_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o the_o world_n but_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v they_o eat_v and_o be_v not_o full_a they_o drink_v and_o their_o soul_n be_v empty_a because_o now_o the_o creature_n be_v as_o the_o husk_n without_o the_o grain_n the_o shell_n without_o the_o kernel_n full_a of_o nothing_o but_o emptiness_n and_o be_v empty_a of_o itself_o can_v give_v we_o satisfaction_n but_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n have_v fill_v all_o thing_n again_o all_o in_o all_o 3._o that_o be_v not_o only_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o the_o thing_n also_o it_o be_v the_o neuter_a gender_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d all_o and_o in_o all_o hence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o many_o find_v a_o want_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o plenty_n their_o heart_n find_v no_o rest_n in_o all_o they_o enjoy_v no_o satisfaction_n with_o the_o holy_a regenerate_a man_n it_o be_v much_o otherwise_o though_o he_o have_v but_o a_o little_a wealth_n with_o a_o little_a food_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n put_v into_o that_o little_a which_o make_v it_o fit_a to_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o in_o the_o psalm_n 37._o a_o small_a thing_n that_o the_o righteous_a have_v be_v better_a they_o great_a riches_n of_o the_o ungodly_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o little_a be_v fill_v with_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n christ_n they_o find_v a_o fullness_n when_o the_o wicked_a find_v a_o emptiness_n in_o their_o great_a abundance_n last_o sin_n hence_o therefore_o issue_v singular_a comfort_n what_o though_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n of_o sin_n and_o guilt_n in_o we_o yet_o be_v there_o a_o fullness_n in_o christ_n able_a to_o remove_v it_o and_o take_v it_o away_o a_o fullness_n of_o mercy_n to_o receive_v our_o supplication_n a_o fullness_n of_o merit_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o our_o foul_a sin_n a_o fullness_n of_o favour_n to_o prevail_v with_o his_o father_n in_o any_o request_n if_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n of_o christ_n as_o there_o be_v be_v not_o discourage_v 5._o though_o thy_o sin_n abound_v yet_o if_o thou_o turn_v from_o sin_n to_o christ_n his_o grace_n abound_v much_o more_o thou_o can_v not_o be_v out_o of_o measure_n sinful_a as_o he_o be_v out_o of_o measure_n merciful_a remember_v but_o the_o two_o metaphor_n use_v in_o the_o scripture_n i_o will_v scatter_v your_o sin_n as_o a_o mist_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v drown_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n now_o the_o sun_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o force_n can_v scatter_v the_o great_a mist_n as_o well_o as_o the_o least_o vapour_n and_o the_o sea_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o great_a vastness_n can_v drown_v the_o mountain_n as_o well_o as_o the_o molehill_n so_o christ_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o vast_a fullness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o be_v able_a yea_o forward_o and_o as_o willing_a to_o forgive_v the_o great_a sin_n as_o the_o least_o i_o say_v as_o forward_z and_o willing_a for_o mercy_n though_o it_o be_v a_o quality_n in_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o nature_n in_o he_o now_o what_o be_v natural_a there_o be_v no_o unwillingness_n nor_o weariness_n in_o that_o the_o eye_n be_v not_o weary_a with_o see_v nor_o the_o ear_n with_o hear_v fit_a object_n therefore_o though_o our_o sin_n be_v never_o so_o great_a and_o many_o yet_o if_o this_o condition_n be_v
