and_o so_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o delight_n in_o he_o as_o such_o then_o have_v they_o communion_n with_o the_o father_n in_o love_n now_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o this_o bless_a communion_n the_o direction_n be_v such_o as_o these_o 1._o i_o must_v eye_v the_o father_n as_o love_n i_o must_v not_o look_v on_o he_o as_o one_o that_o be_v always_o angry_a but_o as_o one_o most_o kind_a and_o tender_a in_o himself_o and_o as_o one_o that_o have_v have_v thought_n of_o kindness_n towards_o his_o saint_n from_o everlasting_a 2._o i_o must_v so_o eye_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n as_o to_o receive_v it_o by_o faith_n i_o must_v believe_v this_o love_n of_o god_n as_o for_o myself_o certain_o his_o love_n be_v not_o i_o nor_o will_v it_o be_v i_o in_o the_o

in_o vain_a as_o to_o my_o communion_n with_o god_n the_o father_n 3._o this_o love_n must_v have_v its_o proper_a fruit_n and_o efficacy_n upon_o my_o heart_n in_o a_o return_n of_o love_n to_o he_o again_o to_o this_o purpose_n god_n love_v that_o he_o may_v be_v belove_v this_o be_v the_o return_n that_o he_o demand_v 23.26_o pro._n 23.26_o my_o son_n give_v i_o thy_o heart_n thy_o affection_n

6.23_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v with_o you_o all_o not_o to_o mention_v any_o other_o grace_n 6.18_o gal_n 6.18_o but_o his_o perchased_a grace_n of_o justification_n or_o

for_o his_o saint_n 4.23_o phil._n 4.23_o and_o for_o their_o righteousness_n he_o be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n 5._o gal._n 4.4_o 5._o that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o adoption_n of_o son_n and_o

as_o that_o alone_a which_o be_v absolute_o complete_a and_o able_a to_o make_v i_o acceptable_a before_o god_n of_o this_o i_o be_o convince_v that_o if_o i_o die_v this_o night_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o righteousness_n wherewith_o i_o must_v appear_v before_o god_n and_o if_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o commend_v i_o unto_o god_n but_o my_o own_o righteousness_n oh_o how_o shall_v

and_o if_o so_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o i_o to_o redeem_v the_o time_n i_o answer_v 1._o by_o way_n of_o concession_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o grace_n indeed_o and_o if_o
