the_o rest_n stand_v upon_o two_o strong_a ground_n first_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v common_a to_o god_n in_o this_o with_o all_o other_o but_o ordinary_a wise_a efficient_n or_o worker_n that_o be_v intent_n upon_o their_o end_n which_o must_v be_v give_v to_o he_o the_o only_a wise_a all-powerful_a god_n who_o be_v here_o say_a as_o a_o efficient_a to_o work_v we_o for_o this_o end_n when_o any_o ordinary_a efficient_a have_v bring_v his_o work_n to_o a_o period_n and_o do_v as_o much_o to_o such_o or_o such_o a_o end_n as_o he_o mean_v to_o do_v he_o delay_v not_o to_o accomplish_v his_o end_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o execution_n unless_o some_o overpowering_a impediment_n do_v lie_v in_o his_o way_n to_o it_o if_o you_o have_v bestow_v long_o and_o great_a cost_n upon_o any_o of_o your_o child_n to_o fit_v and_o prepare_v they_o for_o any_o employment_n the_o university_n suppose_v or_o other_o call_v do_v you_o then_o let_v these_o your_o child_n lie_v truant_n idle_a and_o asleep_a at_o home_n and_o not_o put_v they_o forth_o to_o that_o which_o you_o at_o first_o design_v that_o their_o education_n unto_o will_v you_o suffer_v they_o in_o this_o case_n to_o lose_v their_o time_n do_v you_o know_v how_o to_o do_v good_a to_o your_o child_n and_o do_v not_o god_n we_o see_v god_n do_v thus_o in_o nature_n we_o say_v when_o the_o matter_n be_v as_o full_o prepare_v as_o ever_o it_o shall_v be_v that_o the_o form_n enter_v without_o delay_n now_o grace_n be_v express_o term_v a_o preparation_n to_o glory_n also_o god_n do_v observe_v this_o in_o work_v of_o grace_n itself_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v as_o full_o humble_v and_o empty_v and_o thereby_o prepare_v for_o the_o lord_n by_o john_n baptist_n ministry_n as_o he_o mean_v to_o

of_o the_o amorite_n he_o stay_v not_o a_o moment_n to_o execute_v judgement_n so_o in_o answer_v the_o faith_n of_o his_o people_n wait_v on_o he_o for_o mercy_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v for_o glory_n i_o have_v glorify_v thou_o on_o earth_n the_o only_a place_n and_o condition_n of_o our_o glorify_v god_n i_o have_v finish_v the_o work_n thou_o give_v i_o to_o do_v and_o now_o what_o now_o and_o

these_o two_o the_o apostle_n resolve_v all_o god_n dispensation_n to_o we_o ver._n 7._o of_o this_o chapter_n we_o walk_v by_o faith_n namely_o in_o this_o life_n not_o by_o sight_n and_o again_o 1_o

of_o faith_n the_o work_n of_o god_n with_o power_n that_o ever_o he_o intend_v then_o sure_o sight_n must_v succeed_v according_a to_o god_n ordination_n or_o otherwise_o this_o will_v inevitable_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n will_v be_v for_o that_o interim_n until_o the_o resurrection_n cut_v off_o from_o all_o communion_n with_o god_n whatever_o have_v yet_o all_o its_o acquire_a holiness_n of_o sanctification_n abide_v in_o it_o and_o righteousness_n accompany_v of_o it_o all_o that_o while_n look_v therefore_o as_o a_o child_n have_v two_o and_o but_o two_o way_n of_o live_v and_o when_o the_o one_o cease_v the_o other_o succeed_v or_o death_n will_v follow_v in_o the_o womb_n it_o live_v by_o nourishment_n from_o the_o navel_n without_o so_o much_o as_o breathe_v at_o the_o

must_v instant_o die_v so_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o the_o soul_n here_o between_o faith_n and_o sight_n so_o that_o we_o must_v either_o affirm_v that_o the_o soul_n die_v to_o all_o spiritual_a

be_v our_o life_n must_v needs_o be_v mean_v or_o we_o must_v on_o the_o other_o side_n affirm_v that_o the_o life_n of_o faith_n cease_v and_o god_n yet_o have_v that_o way_n wrought_v all_o that_o ever_o he_o intend_v that_o then_o sight_n of_o god_n face_n to_o face_n must_v come_v in_o its_o place_n which_o indeed_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o 1_o cor._n 13._o affirm_v in_o say_v ver._n 10._o when_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a be_v come_v then_o that_o which_o be_v but_o in_o part_n be_v do_v away_o there_o be_v not_o a_o utter_a cease_n of_o the_o imperfect_a and_o then_o a_o interval_n

be_v thus_o perfect_a and_o in_o the_o 12_o verse_n he_o explain_v himself_o that_o the_o imperfect_a be_v this_o our_o see_v now_o in_o a_o glass_n dark_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o

namely_o faith_n be_v swallow_v up_o of_o the_o perfect_a namely_o sight_n now_o if_o we_o thus_o grant_v as_o we_o must_v this_o separate_a soul_n to_o have_v this_o sight_n or_o nothing_o now_o leave_v it_o to_o enjoy_v god_n any_o way_n by_o then_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o glory_n it_o be_v admit_v unto_o for_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n face_n to_o face_n and_o to_o know_v as_o we_o
