goodness_n and_o omnipotency_n be_v they_o for_o what_o be_v god_n without_o these_o the_o prophet_n david_n often_o in_o this_o book_n of_o psalm_n profess_v and_o triumph_v in_o this_o peculiar_a

144.15_o bless_a be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n yea_o bless_a be_v that_o people_n who_o god_n be_v the_o lord_n where_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o only_o speak_v to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n to_o confirm_v and_o establish_v that_o namely_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o god_n of_o his_o people_n &_o church_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a he_o speak_v of_o these_o these_o be_v the_o person_n upon_o who_o head_n he_o set_v this_o crown_n of_o blessedness_n but_o withal_o more_o particular_o and_o full_o he_o inform_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v take_v where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o his_o people_n or_o that_o they_o have_v a_o propriety_n in_o he_o namely_o in_o the_o sense_n already_o express_v he_o be_v they_o quantus_fw-la quantus_fw-la est_fw-la as_o great_a as_o glorious_a as_o mighty_a as_o excellent_a every_o way_n as_o he_o be_v for_o we_o see_v he_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v in_o respect_n of_o this_o propriety_n or_o interest_n of_o they_o in_o god_n blessed_n be_v that_o people_n who_o god_n be_v the_o lord_n now_o if_o their_o interest_n extend_v no_o further_o but_o to_o some_o inferior_a degree_n of_o his_o power_n the_o people_n that_o have_v some_o creature_n for_o their_o god_n may_v be_v as_o bless_a as_o they_o nebuchadnezzars_n courtier_n have_v he_o for_o their_o

any_o such_o interest_n because_o nabuchadnezzar_n can_v not_o be_v a_o god_n unto_o they_o another_o testimony_n you_o may_v peruse_v at_o leisure_n 2_o cor._n 6.16_o i_o now_o make_v haste_n to_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n cap._n iu._n wherein_o four_o several_a ground_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o church_n propriety_n in_o god_n be_v lay_v down_o and_o open_v among_o many_o consideration_n that_o may_v be_v lay_v down_o as_o ground_n or_o reason_n of_o this_o interest_n and_o propriety_n of_o the_o church_n in_o god_n i_o shall_v only_o insist_v upon_o four_o which_o be_v most_o obvious_a and_o near_a at_o hand_n to_o every_o man_n thought_n the_o first_o be_v the_o love_n and_o affection_n that_o god_n bear_v unto_o this_o church_n and_o people_n of_o he_o yea_o even_o before_o they_o be_v either_o church_n or_o people_n unto_o he_o or_o he_o they_o in_o any_o such_o relation_n as_o now_o they_o stand_v it_o be_v true_a that_o now_o he_o love_v they_o because_o they_o be_v his_o in_o that_o peculiar_a manner_n that_o now_o he_o have_v make_v they_o he_o by_o the_o great_a cost_n and_o charge_n both_o of_o his_o son_n and_o spirit_n bestow_v on_o they_o and_o yet_o i_o conceive_v he_o love_v they_o as_o much_o or_o rather_o more_o because_o he_o be_v they_o then_o because_o they_o be_v he_o a_o upright_a and_o just_a man_n love_v his_o promise_n and_o upright_o deal_v more_o than_o he_o do_v his_o possession_n or_o estate_n as_o david_n in_o effect_n affirm_v in_o psal_n 15.4_o now_o god_n love_v his_o people_n because_o they_o be_v his_o love_v they_o as_o a_o wise_a and_o upright_a man_n love_v his_o inheritance_n or_o possession_n which_o kind_n of_o love_n in_o the_o expression_n of_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o subjection_n to_o a_o superior_a and_o must_v give_v place_n when_o time_n be_v but_o love_v they_o because_o he_o be_v they_o and_o they_o have_v a_o propriety_n in_o he_o he_o love_v they_o as_o he_o do_v his_o own_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_n which_o be_v a_o sovereign_a love_n and_o to_o be_v command_v &_o overrule_v by_o nothing_o whatsoever_o and_o if_o god_n have_v not_o love_v his_o church_n and_o people_n before_o they_o become_v either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o will_v never_o have_v love_v they_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o or_o all_o other_o mean_n whatsoever_o either_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n shall_v ever_o have_v make_v a_o church_n or_o people_n unto_o he_o of_o person_n defile_v with_o sin_n without_o the_o concurrence_n and_o assistance_n nay_o without_o the_o precurrence_n and_o ducture_n of_o his_o own_o love_n thereunto_o of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o church_n before_o their_o church-making_a or_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o in_o any_o such_o relation_n the_o scripture_n speak_v express_o john_n 3.16_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n etc._n etc._n that_o love_n of_o god_n in_o the_o womb_n whereof_o jesus_n christ_n as_o give_v unto_o the_o world_n and_o consequent_o unto_o those_o of_o who_o his_o church_n be_v raise_v and_o build_v for_o no_o man_n can_v imagine_v these_o to_o be_v here_o exclude_v though_o neither_o do_v i_o conceive_v they_o to_o be_v sole_o and_o precise_o intend_v be_v conceive_v must_v needs_o go_v before_o the_o raise_n of_o this_o temple_n unto_o he_o because_o this_o be_v actual_o do_v by_o jesus_n christ_n as_o give_v at_o least_o in_o promise_n so_o john_n 6.37_o all_o that_o the_o father_n give_v i_o shall_v come_v unto_o i_o and_o ver_fw-la 44._o no_o man_n can_v come_v unto_o i_o except_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v i_o draw_v he_o and_o again_o ver_fw-la 45._o every_o man_n therefore_o that_o have_v hear_v and_o learned_a of_o the_o father_n come_v unto_o i_o now_o all_o these_o and_o such_o like_a act_n of_o god_n act_v and_o exercise_v upon_o man_n not_o yet_o actual_o bring_v home_o to_o christ_n but_o for_o and_o about_o the_o bring_n of_o they_o home_o to_o he_o as_o giving_z to_o christ_n draw_v to_o christ_n teach_v etc._n etc._n be_v apparent_o the_o fruit_n or_o act_n of_o such_o a_o love_n in_o god_n towards_o they_o which_o have_v precedency_n both_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o time_n also_o before_o that_o love_n of_o he_o wherewith_o he_o love_v they_o as_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v as_o be_v make_v a_o church_n and_o people_n unto_o he_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o love_n towards_o his_o church_n and_o people_n before_o the_o light_n of_o either_o of_o these_o or_o the_o like_a relation_n arise_v upon_o they_o let_v we_o then_o proceed_v in_o our_o demonstration_n the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o love_n we_o know_v that_o be_v real_a and_o in_o truth_n be_v to_o be_v bountiful_a as_o s._n paul_n affirm_v 1.13_o 1_o cor._n 1.13_o the_o father_n love_v the_o son_n say_v christ_n john_n 3.35_o and_o have_v give_v all_o thing_n into_o his_o hand_n when_o the_o love_n and_o affection_n of_o god_n be_v cast_v upon_o the_o creature_n himself_o son_n spirit_z and_o all_o he_o have_v shall_v not_o stay_v behind_o love_n and_o gift_n affection_n and_o expression_n in_o god_n we_o shall_v still_o find_v together_o john_n 3.16_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v etc._n etc._n and_o 2_o thes_n 2.16_o even_o the_o father_n which_o have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v we_o everlasting_a consolation_n so_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o christ_n say_v thus_o who_o have_v love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o gal._n 2.20_o now_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o his_o church_n be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o transcendent_a love_n he_o must_v find_v out_o a_o expression_n or_o gift_n answerable_a to_o it_o otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v loss_n of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o glory_n belong_v to_o it_o for_o he_o can_v be_v praise_v and_o magnify_v but_o according_a to_o such_o a_o measure_n thereof_o as_o be_v manifest_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o gift_n that_o shall_v express_v the_o height_n depth_n breadth_n length_n of_o this_o love_n to_o the_o full_a can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o himself_o and_o that_o as_o god_n all_o other_o will_v be_v defective_a if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o thing_n
