the_o house_n of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o the_o might_n of_o my_o power_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n so_o god_n to_o show_v forth_o to_o the_o saint_n the_o glory_n and_o magnificence_n of_o his_o power_n have_v prepare_v this_o magnific_a building_n to_o entertain_v they_o for_o ever_o wherein_o he_o have_v show_v the_o strength_n power_n and_o invention_n to_o make_v it_o

and_o dererminate_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n may_v well_o come_v 1_o john_n 3._o ●_z with_o his_o admiration_n behold_v what_o love_n the_o father_n have_v give_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n no_o love_n like_o unto_o this_o which_o be_v further_o set_v forth_o by_o a_o unexpressible_a expression_n john_n 3.16_o for_o god_n so_o love_v

thereof_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o here_o shall_v be_v the_o fullness_n extent_n and_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o the_o rich_a and_o exceed_v precious_a promise_n for_o here_o we_o have_v many_o

must_v be_v fulfil_v either_o here_o or_o in_o heaven_n for_o no_o word_n of_o god_n proceed_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n must_v return_v again_o until_o it_o have_v perform_v that_o for_o which_o it_o be_v send_v isa._n 55.10_o here_o then_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o excellent_a place_n where_o the_o full_a extent_n and_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o promise_n as_o they_o come_v from_o heaven_n shall_v all_o in_o a_o concurrence_n meet_v and_o full_o be_v accomplish_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o largeness_n of_o their_o extent_n whatsoever_o again_o this_o be_v such_o a_o building_n wherein_o
