here_o of_o god_n and_o his_o excellency_n be_v but_o a_o shadow_n to_o the_o expression_n of_o other_o and_o what_o other_o can_v say_v man_n or_o angel_n be_v but_o a_o short_a and_o rude_a shadow_n of_o that_o infinite_a all_o the_o high_a jehovah_n creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n so_o my_o thought_n come_v forth_o as_o shadow_n of_o shadow_n for_o there_o behoove_v to_o be_v much_o honey_n in_o the_o ink_n much_o of_o heaven_n in_o the_o breast_n much_o of_o god_n in_o the_o pen_n of_o any_o who_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o transcendent_a subject_n yet_o if_o these_o do_v affect_v you_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o say_v more_o if_o not_o i_o shall_v desire_v not_o to_o spill_v the_o lord_n high_a praise_n with_o my_o low-creeping_a under-expression_n 2._o concerning_o god_n dispensation_n now_o in_o britain_n and_o his_o church_n condition_n i_o shall_v be_v your_o debtor_n in_o all_o humble_a modesty_n to_o beg_v these_o thought_n to_o go_v along_o with_o god_n as_o 1._o let_v the_o lord_n have_v a_o charitable_a sense_n and_o good_a construction_n of_o his_o most_o wise_a dispensation_n and_o believe_v that_o he_o who_o have_v his_o fire_n in_o zion_n 9_o and_o his_o furnace_n in_o jerusalem_n see_v good_a that_o christ_n cross_n shall_v be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n birthright_n and_o that_o a_o life-rent_n of_o affliction_n be_v a_o sure_a way_n for_o zion_n than_o summer-day_n 2._o you_o be_v not_o to_o stumble_v that_o god_n will_v not_o fit_v his_o time_n to_o man_n apprehension_n when_o to_o rain_v and_o when_o to_o shine_v fair_a neither_o be_v clay_n to_o usurp_v the_o chair_n and_o dispute_v the_o matter_n to_o make_v the_o all-wise_a providence_n a_o school-problem_n 21._o nor_o ask_v why_o be_v our_o zion_n build_v with_o carcase_n of_o man_n in_o two_o kingdom_n fall_v as_o dung_n in_o the_o open_a field_n and_o as_o the_o handful_n after_o the_o harvest_n man_n why_o be_v the_o wall_n of_o the_o daughter_n of_o zion_n sprinkle_v with_o blood_n one_o thing_n i_o know_v it_o be_v better_a to_o believe_v then_o to_o dispute_v and_o to_o adore_v then_o to_o plead_v with_o he_o who_o give_v not_o account_v of_o his_o matter_n 3._o innocence_n in_o these_o time_n be_v better_a than_o court_n with_o prince_n and_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o heir_n of_o heaven_n yea_o their_o tear_n better_a than_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n 4._o christ_n church_n can_v neither_o shift_v nor_o adjourn_v such_o a_o share_n of_o affliction_n as_o be_v write_v in_o god_n book_n it_o be_v a_o stand_v and_o a_o current_a

by_o ounce_n weight_n how_o much_o wrath_n shall_v be_v mix_v in_o the_o cup_n of_o waste_a ireland_n 5._o you_o know_v it_o be_v general_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n if_o she_o have_v any_o summer_n that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o good_a day_n betwixt_o two_o fever_n heaven_n heaven_n be_v the_o home_n and_o the_o desire_a day_n of_o the_o bride_n the_o lamb_n wife_n 6._o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o be_v afflict_v then_o to_o be_v guilty_a and_o that_o the_o church_n may_v have_v pardon_n and_o want_v peace_n 7._o that_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v more_o precious_a than_o gold_n can_v bid_v the_o devil_n do_v his_o worst_a and_o that_o the_o patience_n of_o the_o saint_n can_v out-weary_v the_o malice_n of_o babylon_n or_o babel_n on_o who_o skirt_n be_v find_v the_o
