reas_n 2_o all_o that_o be_v in_o god_n be_v of_o a_o humble_v nature_n nature_n i_o find_v that_o god_n manifest_v any_o attribute_n of_o he_o at_o any_o time_n to_o any_o of_o his_o child_n it_o do_v humble_v they_o as_o for_o instance_n let_v the_o lord_n show_v his_o greatness_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n i_o mean_v as_o he_o greatness_n 1_o god_n greatness_n do_v to_o david_n psal_n 8._o when_o he_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n that_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n finger_n than_o david_n cry_v out_o what_o be_v man_n lord_n that_o thou_o do_v respect_v he_o it_o make_v poor_a david_n to_o be_v as_o nothing_o so_o also_o his_o goodness_n his_o love_n goodness_n 2_o god_n goodness_n as_o that_o in_o samuel_n when_o david_n dance_v before_o the_o ark_n he_o cry_v i_o will_v be_v yet_o more_o vile_a why_o so_o because_o god_n have_v choose_v i_o say_v he_o to_o michael_n rather_o than_o thy_o father_n house_n he_o see_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o will_v be_v more_o humble_a and_o more_o vile_a and_o so_o i_o may_v show_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n if_o it_o be_v discover_v to_o a_o poor_a creature_n that_o be_v a_o sinner_n but_o it_o dash_v and_o abase_v and_o humble_v he_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o scripture_n that_o positive_o and_o punctual_o prove_v it_o for_o i_o speak_v something_o of_o they_o before_o to_o you_o but_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o can_v that_o be_v that_o the_o quest_n look_v upon_o god_n shall_v make_v one_o humble_a how_o can_v the_o behold_v of_o god_n work_v such_o a_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n belove_a i_o have_v tell_v you_o a_o little_a how_o it_o do_v answ_n it_o and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o no_o more_o and_o if_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v if_o you_o can_v see_v clear_o how_o this_o can_v be_v i_o must_v refer_v you_o to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o there_o you_o shall_v see_v some_o resemblance_n of_o nature_n secret_n work_n in_o grace_n and_o nature_n it_o if_o you_o can_v tell_v i_o how_o laban_n sheep_n conceive_v spot_v lamb_n by_o behold_v the_o peel_a rod_n or_o if_o you_o can_v tell_v i_o how_o the_o man_n be_v heal_v of_o their_o wound_n by_o look_v on_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n then_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o a_o man_n by_o see_v of_o god_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n in_o christ_n be_v humble_v we_o see_v in_o nature_n many_o such_o strange_a mystery_n that_o we_o can_v unfold_v as_o they_o say_v the_o basilisk_n with_o her_o eye_n will_v kill_v a_o man_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o as_o we_o see_v here_o in_o our_o own_o home_n a_o onion_n will_v make_v a_o man_n weep_v at_o a_o distance_n we_o can_v give_v something_o that_o we_o call_v reason_n but_o there_o be_v a_o world_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o creature_n as_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o like_a that_o we_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o creature_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o in_o this_o that_o a_o poor_a sinner_n behold_v god_n in_o christ_n by_o faith_n spiritual_o shall_v receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n from_o he_o and_o if_o we_o be_v pose_v in_o know_v the_o particular_a reason_n of_o the_o strange_a operation_n of_o god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n we_o may_v well_o cease_v our_o dispute_n how_o god_n humble_v the_o soul_n even_o by_o behold_v he_o when_o god_n behold_v the_o soul_n or_o the_o soul_n behold_v god_n but_o the_o last_o thing_n i_o shall_v open_v be_v this_o why_o the_o quest_n lord_n have_v order_v it_o that_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o way_n to_o humble_v our_o soul_n answ_n he_o why_o the_o lord_n will_v humble_a man_n b●_n the_o fight_n of_o he_o we_o can_v go_v far_o in_o ask_v such_o question_n as_o these_o why_o god_n will_v work_v it_o thus_o but_o yet_o i_o will_v give_v you_o these_o two_o reason_n instead_o of_o all_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o i_o find_v that_o it_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n with_o god_n towards_o all_o creature_n mark_v it_o all_o good_a be_v in_o god_n every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n come_v from_o he_o and_o i_o find_v that_o it_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n give_v god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o look_v to_o he_o in_o give_v that_o when_o god_n give_v any_o thing_n to_o man_n or_o beast_n or_o bird_n to_o soul_n or_o body_n he_o will_v make_v they_o look_v up_o to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o giver_n as_o in_o psal_n 145._o 15._o the_o eye_n of_o all_o say_v david_n wait_v on_o thou_o and_o thou_o give_v they_o meat_n in_o due_a season_n thou_o open_v thy_o hand_n and_o satisfie_v the_o desire_n of_o every_o live_a thing_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o the_o creature_n though_o you_o know_v not_o how_o it_o be_v yet_o god_n make_v the_o bird_n and_o beast_n in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o make_v they_o to_o eye_n and_o to_o look_v after_o he_o another_o thing_n be_v this_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v this_o as_o he_o god_n will_v draw_v our_o heart_n to_o he_o by_o a_o fight_n of_o he_o christ_n say_v in_o another_o sense_n that_o he_o may_v draw_v man_n mind_n and_o heart_n to_o he_o just_a as_o we_o use_v to_o do_v when_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o bring_v our_o child_n to_o love_v we_o we_o will_v have_v some_o fine_a thing_n to_o give_v they_o we_o will_v give_v it_o and_o the_o child_n must_v come_v to_o we_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o child_n come_v to_o make_v we_o give_v it_o but_o because_o we_o will_v not_o only_o bestow_v the_o thing_n on_o the_o child_n for_o his_o good_a but_o win_v his_o affection_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o know_v we_o and_o love_v we_o and_o make_v a_o leg_n and_o to_o thank_v we_o and_o the_o like_a so_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o give_v any_o thing_n to_o we_o but_o we_o must_v come_v and_o look_v to_o he_o that_o we_o may_v not_o so_o much_o love_v the_o thing_n as_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o that_o bless_a hand_n that_o give_v therefore_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n why_o so_o that_o our_o affection_n may_v be_v above_o where_o christ_n be_v collos_n 3._o 2._o so_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o bestow_v any_o thing_n upon_o we_o but_o he_o will_v have_v our_o eye_n upon_o he_o that_o we_o may_v love_v and_o delight_n in_o he_o that_o bestow_v all_o upon_o we_o so_o much_o brief_o for_o the_o open_n of_o it_o now_o i_o shall_v conclude_v at_o this_o time_n with_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o use_n &_o leave_v the_o rest_n for_o another_o opportunity_n the_o use_n for_o the_o present_a be_v this_o that_o you_o may_v clear_o learn_v hence_o that_o sinner_n and_o carnal_a man_n man_n that_o be_v not_o bear_v again_o or_o be_v not_o new_a humble_v use_v 1._o unregenerate_a man_n can_v be_v true_o humble_v creature_n they_o can_v be_v true_o humble_v they_o can_v have_v no_o true_a humiliation_n because_o as_o it_o be_v evident_o prove_v in_o the_o doctrine_n before_o they_o have_v no_o true_a sight_n of_o god_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v true_o humble_v they_o may_v keep_v fast_n and_o come_v to_o church_n and_o hear_v sermon_n and_o do_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n but_o they_o can_v be_v true_o humble_v they_o may_v have_v divers_a thing_n like_o humiliation_n but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a gospel_n sin_n yet_o he_o may_v 1_o see_v his_o sin_n save_v humiliation_n as_o for_o instance_n a_o wicked_a carnal_a man_n he_o may_v see_v his_o sin_n and_o he_o may_v be_v convince_v of_o they_o in_o a_o naturallway_o just_o for_o all_o the_o world_n as_o a_o man_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o england_n if_o he_o have_v break_v any_o of_o they_o if_o he_o read_v the_o statute_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o reason_n he_o may_v say_v i_o have_v break_v the_o statute_n and_o so_o he_o may_v by_o read_v the_o book_n of_o god_n god_n say_v that_o whormonger_n drunkard_n and_o covetous_a shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o he_o may_v say_v but_o i_o be_o such_o a_o one_o he_o may_v do_v this_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n alas_o this_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o humiliation_n nay_o far_o the_o lord_n may_v put_v wrath_n in_o the_o terrify_v 2_o he_o may_v be_v terrify_v law_n he_o may_v put_v wrath_n in_o judgement_n and_o affliction_n and_o he_o may_v be_v terrify_v and_o woeful_o trouble_v because_o of_o sin_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v humble_v so_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n though_o they_o have_v enough_o of_o that_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o humble_v so_o judas_n and_o cain_n and_o saul_n they_o be_v trouble_v
