with_o a_o hatred_n against_o that_o grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o will_v purge_v he_o and_o trouble_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o weariness_n of_o the_o power_n of_o that_o grace_n that_o will_v reform_v his_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o though_o he_o be_v humble_v yet_o if_o he_o be_v not_o enlighten_v to_o see_v this_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n he_o can_v delight_v in_o it_o i_o know_v there_o be_v wild_a love_n and_o joy_n enough_o in_o the_o world_n as_o there_o be_v wild_a thyme_n and_o other_o herb_n but_o we_o will_v have_v garden-love_n and_o garden-joy_n of_o god_n own_o plant_n for_o such_o hypocritical_a love_n and_o joy_n we_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o here_o second_o this_o love_n and_o joy_n be_v kindle_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n for_o the_o father_n learn_v we_o the_o lecture_n and_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o of_o the_o mind_n enlighten_v kindle_v this_o holy_a fire_n which_o be_v right_o compare_v to_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n as_o in_o leu._n 9.24_o there_o come_v a_o fire_n from_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o consume_v upon_o the_o altar_n the_o burn_a offering_n even_o those_o spark_n of_o the_o pillar_n of_o fire_n which_o do_v typify_v christ_n to_o they_o but_o whether_o this_o be_v so_o or_o no_o i_o will_v not_o now_o dispute_v for_o as_o the_o lord_n provide_v the_o sacrifice_n so_o the_o lord_n cause_v the_o fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n offer_v strange_a fire_n the_o lord_n consume_v they_o leu._n 10.1_o 2._o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o holy_a fire_n of_o love_n and_o joy_n we_o may_v strike_v and_o endeavour_v but_o our_o steel_n and_o our_o flint_n will_v not_o work_v this_o endeavour_n nor_o strike_v this_o fire_n of_o love_n and_o joy_n it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n from_o whence_o all_o spiritual_a spark_n of_o grace_n do_v come_v and_o among_o the_o rest_n these_o of_o love_n and_o joy_n all_o other_o love_n and_o joy_n that_o be_v not_o wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n must_v be_v cashier_v and_o abandon_v it_o can_v reach_v to_o god_n nor_o be_v please_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n infer_v in_o the_o general_a rom._n 8.8_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n but_o it_o must_v be_v joy_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o must_v please_v he_o now_o though_o the_o soul_n true_o humble_v and_o break_v that_o heretofore_o have_v feel_v the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o be_v now_o separate_v from_o they_o so_o that_o he_o dare_v not_o meddle_v with_o they_o he_o dare_v as_o well_o take_v a_o bear_n by_o the_o tooth_n and_o fall_v quick_a into_o hell_n as_o take_v up_o those_o course_n again_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o power_n of_o himself_o to_o be_v enlarge_v in_o any_o love_n to_o entertain_v christ_n or_o spiritual_o to_o joy_n in_o he_o further_o than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o promise_n shall_v enable_v he_o thereto_o suffer_v i_o to_o enlarge_v myself_o thus_o the_o soul_n be_v like_o a_o empty_a vessel_n it_o stand_v not_o at_o the_o dispose_n of_o sin_n or_o itself_o but_o it_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n disposition_n if_o the_o lord_n will_v kindle_v any_o love_n and_o joy_n so_o it_o be_v for_o of_o himself_o he_o can_v do_v it_o as_o it_o be_v with_o some_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n simile_n simile_n he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o let_v the_o king_n have_v the_o use_n of_o his_o house_n for_o a_o while_n but_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o provide_v necessary_n for_o he_o because_o he_o be_v a_o mean_a man_n therefore_o the_o king_n send_v his_o provision_n before_o and_o then_o come_v himself_o just_o so_o it_o be_v here_o with_o a_o poor_a humble_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n the_o poor_a soul_n be_v marvellous_a well_o content_a that_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v and_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o dispose_v of_o he_o but_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v he_o any_o entertainment_n he_o have_v not_o any_o heat_n of_o holy_a affection_n or_o love_n or_o desire_v to_o welcome_v the_o lord_n as_o become_v so_o great_a a_o majesty_n therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v fain_o to_o infuse_v love_n and_o joy_n that_o by_o they_o he_o may_v be_v welcome_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o humble_a sinner_n now_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v come_v to_o this_o degree_n of_o sanctification_n than_o it_o can_v work_v by_o itself_o or_o thus_o simile_n simile_n it_o be_v with_o a_o brokenhearted_a sinner_n as_o with_o a_o burn_a glass_n take_v such_o a_o glass_n it_o will_v burn_v any_o thing_n by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n yet_o it_o have_v no_o heat_n in_o itself_o but_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o sunbeam_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o it_o burn_v whatsoever_o be_v before_o it_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o brokenhearted_a sinner_n but_o all_o stubborn_a sinner_n be_v like_o water_n that_o will_v not_o burn_v at_o all_o i_o will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o work_n of_o preparation_n it_o be_v neither_o sin_n nor_o self_n shall_v have_v power_n over_o i_o sin_n shall_v not_o and_o self_n can_v rule_v i_o therefore_o i_o will_v wait_v till_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n will_v shine_v forth_o from_o heaven_n from_o the_o beauty_n of_o his_o sanctuary_n and_o have_v receive_v the_o beam_n of_o god_n

and_o that_o other_o place_n in_o luke_n 3.5.6_o can_v admit_v of_o no_o other_o sense_n every_o valley_n shall_v be_v fill_v and_o every_o mountain_n and_o hill_n shall_v be_v bring_v low_o and_o

up_o for_o christ_n be_v no_o temporal_a king_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v a_o removeall_n of_o all_o those_o mountain_n and_o impediment_n that_o stand_v between_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o temple_n prepare_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o heart_n true_o break_v and_o humble_v second_o let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o come_v into_o this_o temple_n it_o and_o christ_n come_v to_o it_o as_o the_o way_n and_o the_o temple_n be_v so_o the_o come_n into_o this_o temple_n be_v to_o be_v spiritual_o understand_v and_o that_o be_v when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v to_o take_v possession_n of_o he_o but_o consider_v this_o he_o come_v like_o a_o king_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v john_n baptist_n to_o make_v way_n for_o he_o the_o come_n of_o a_o king_n discover_v itself_o in_o two_o thing_n first_o the_o king_n take_v the_o sovereign_a command_n of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o guest_n there_o they_o must_v be_v go_v and_o resign_v up_o all_o the_o house_n to_o he_o so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n come_v to_o take_v sovereign_a possession_n of_o the_o soul_n second_o the_o king_n bring_v all_o his_o provision_n with_o he_o so_o the_o lord_n christ_n bring_v all_o provision_n for_o the_o soul_n with_o he_o so_o then_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o when_o john_n baptist_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n have_v wrought_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v it_o humble_a and_o low_a and_o willing_a to_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n dispose_v when_o the_o break_a heart_n seek_v for_o a_o saviour_n than_o the_o lord_n come_v sudden_o and_o like_o a_o king_n you_o humble_a soul_n consider_v this_o he_o will_v take_v possession_n of_o those_o humble_a break_a heart_n of_o you_o and_o he_o will_v bring_v his_o own_o provision_n with_o he_o he_o care_v for_o nothing_o but_o a_o vessel_n empty_v and_o a_o heart_n thus_o fit_v and_o prepare_v he_o will_v bring_v provision_n enough_o of_o comfort_n of_o vocation_n of_o adoption_n of_o sanctification_n and_o the_o like_a in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o verse_n thus_o open_v we_o have_v two_o doctrine_n first_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v not_o delay_v to_o come_v into_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v and_o break_v who_o be_v the_o lord_n christ_n what_o be_v the_o temple_n the_o heart_n true_o humble_v and_o when_o come_v he_o sudden_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o doctrine_n the_o second_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n take_v possession_n of_o the_o soul_n humble_v and_o provide_v for_o it_o as_o his_o own_o he_o come_v like_o a_o king_n as_o i_o say_v before_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o second_o point_n which_o discover_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o implantation_n the_o first_o discover_v the_o appurtenance_n of_o it_o doct._n heart_n christ_n delay_v not_o to_o come_v into_o a_o humble_a heart_n for_o the_o first_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v not_o delay_v to_o come_v into_o the_o heart_n true_o humble_v as_o i_o may_v say_v he_o lay_v all_o other_o work_v aside_o as_o if_o he_o do_v look_v for_o none_o but_o this_o how_o he_o may_v come_v home_o to_o the_o heart_n true_o humble_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o come_v at_o a_o proud_a worldly_a mind_a man_n no_o the_o lord_n leave_v all_o yea_o heaven_n and_o all_o the_o world_n and_o only_o look_v after_o and_o love_v to_o live_v with_o the_o humble_a break_a heart_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o point_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o content_v itself_o to_o show_v the_o marvellous_a delight_n that_o god_n have_v in_o such_o a_o spirit_n see_v how_o plenteous_a the_o scripture_n be_v to_o show_v how_o ready_a the_o lord_n be_v to_o call_v in_o at_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o humble_a soul_n and_o to_o rise_v and_o lie_v and_o rest_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v with_o the_o humble_a heart_n nay_o when_o he_o be_v come_v he_o will_v not_o away_o again_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o

for_o the_o lose_a man_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v guide_v by_o another_o if_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o man_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o say_v friend_n this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n will_v not_o

this_o man_n be_v the_o fit_a to_o set_v forth_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n and_o to_o further_a the_o aim_n of_o god_n in_o set_v forth_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glorious_a grace_n it_o be_v
