and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o change_n of_o nature_n be_v here_o in_o sanctification_n we_o shall_v never_o know_v in_o heaven_n the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o and_o those_o that_o

these_o thing_n be_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n let_v we_o be_v glad_a of_o our_o portion_n for_o god_n that_o have_v begin_v he_o will_v sure_o make_v a_o end_n the_o affection_n and_o bend_v and_o frame_v of_o soul_n due_a to_o these_o thing_n be_v admiration_n and_o not_o only_o simple_a hear_n if_o these_o thing_n in_o their_o beginning_n here_o be_v set_v out_o by_o word_n of_o admiration_n peace_n that_o pass_v understanding_n and_o joy_v unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a what_o affection_n and_o frame_v of_o spirit_n be_v suitable_a to_o the_o hear_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v keep_v for_o we_o in_o another_o world_n if_o the_o light_n that_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o here_o be_v admirable_a great_a we_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o darkness_n into_o admirable_a

can_v not_o tell_v what_o it_o be_v so_o admirable_a and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o be_v above_o all_o knowledge_n who_o can_v comprehend_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o give_v

it_o be_v so_o what_o affection_n be_v answerable_a but_o admiration_n behold_v what_o love_n if_o god_n have_v so_o love_v flesh_n and_o blood_n poor_a dust_n &_o ash_n so_o as_o to_o be_v heir_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o such_o glory_n as_o eye_n seesnot_v nor_o can_v in_o this_o world_n nor_o ear_n hear_v not_o nor_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n till_o we_o come_v full_o to_o possess_v they_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o admire_v the_o love_n of_o god_n herein_o and_o labour_v to_o know_v more_o and_o more_o our_o inheritance_n as_o we_o grow_v in_o year_n as_o child_n do_v they_o search_v into_o the_o great_a matter_n their_o parent_n leave_v they_o and_o the_o near_o they_o come_v to_o enjoy_v they_o the_o more_o skill_n they_o have_v to_o talk_v of_o they_o so_o

have_v prepare_v great_a matter_n for_o he_o prepare_v they_o for_o great_a matter_n we_o may_v know_v by_o god_n prepare_v of_o we_o whether_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o we_o god_n prepare_v paradise_n before_o adam_n be_v create_v so_o god_n prepare_v paradise_n he_o prepare_v heaven_n before_o we_o come_v there_o and_o we_o may_v know_v that_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o possess_v that_o if_o we_o be_v prepare_v for_o it_o what_o preparation_n if_o we_o be_v prepare_v by_o a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n and_o have_v holy_a desire_n and_o long_v after_o those_o excellent_a thing_n for_o certain_o there_o be_v preparation_n on_o both_o side_n it_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o and_o we_o for_o it_o it_o be_v keep_v for_o we_o and_o we_o be_v keep_v for_o it_o who_o god_n keep_v heaven_n for_o he_o keep_v they_o for_o heaven_n in_o a_o course_n of_o piety_n and_o obedience_n we_o may_v know_v it_o by_o god_n prepare_v of_o we_o by_o lose_v we_o from_o the_o world_n and_o sanctify_v we_o to_o himself_o thus_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o those_o great_a thing_n be_v prepare_v for_o he_o or_o no._n but_o the_o especial_a thing_n to_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v

under_o his_o government_n but_o these_o thing_n be_v prepare_v for_o those_o that_o love_v he_o for_o those_o that_o love_v he_o especial_o that_o love_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o

have_v hear_v the_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o reservation_n of_o a_o glorious_a condition_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n so_o great_a that_o neither_o eye_n

the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o those_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v to_o salvation_n no_o that_o be_v out_o of_o our_o reach_n he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o go_v to_o heaven_n but_o rather_o go_v to_o our_o own_o heart_n we_o must_v search_v f●r_o our_o election_n not_o above_o ourselves_o but_o within_o ourselves_o why_o do_v he_o not_o say_v quest._n to_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o h●m_n because_o faith_n be_v the_o radical_a grace_n from_o whence_o the_o rest_n spring_n answ._n but_o faith_n be_v a_o hide_a grace_n many_o time_n grace_n and_o the_o apostle_n scope_n be_v to_o point_n to_o such_o a_o disposition_n that_o every_o one_o may_v know_v that_o be_v more_o familiar_a sometime_o faith_n be_v hide_v in_o the_o root_n and_o it_o be_v show_v in_o the_o effect_n more_o th●n_a in_o itself_o in_o love_n a_o poor_a christian_n that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n that_o say_v oh_o i_o can_v believe_v ask_v he_o if_o he_o love_v god_n oh_o yes_o he_o love_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n he_o love_v good_a people_n and_o good_a book_n and_o the_o like_a when_o he_o can_v discover_v his_o faith_n he_o can_v his_o love_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v it_o out_o by_o the_o more_o familiar_a disposition_n by_o love_n rather_o than_o faith_n why_o do_v he_o not_o say_v quest._n for_o those_o that_o god_n love_v god_n love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o love_n because_o god_n love_n be_v manifest_v more_o familiar_o by_o our_o love_n to_o he_o answ._n for_o that_o
