worth_n nor_o rest_n in_o his_o own_o sufficiency_n and_o see_v himself_o miserable_a by_o corruption_n commit_v and_o see_v that_o he_o be_v unable_a to_o relieve_v himself_o out_o of_o his_o misery_n and_o then_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o all_o and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v this_o than_o there_o be_v no_o more_o word_n to_o the_o bargain_n but_o the_o lord_n bid_v he_o take_v the_o pearl_n he_o have_v buy_v it_o and_o carry_v it_o away_o with_o he_o so_o than_o the_o case_n be_v clear_a if_o you_o be_v good_a chapman_n and_o bid_v roundly_o and_o come_v to_o god_n price_n there_o be_v no_o more_o word_n to_o the_o bargain_n you_o will_v have_v sin_n and_o christ_n god_n and_o devil_n no_o no_o but_o sell_v all_o and_o the_o pearl_n be_v you_o you_o may_v take_v it_o in_o your_o hand_n and_o carry_v it_o home_o with_o you_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o proof_n reason_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o reason_n whence_o come_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o delay_v to_o come_v into_o a_o humble_a soul_n the_o marvellous_a readiness_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v admirable_a to_o think_v on_o it_o the_o reason_n be_v three_o because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v send_v for_o this_o very_a end_n by_o god_n the_o father_n matt._n 15.24_o and_o he_o come_v also_o to_o this_o very_a purpose_n luke_n 19.10_o gather_v up_o the_o place_n i_o be_o not_o send_v but_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o the_o other_o place_n there_o he_o come_v to_o seek_v and_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v that_o be_v lose_v in_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o misery_n lose_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o own_o ability_n and_o sufficiency_n to_o help_v himself_o then_o last_o willing_a to_o be_v dispose_v by_o another_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o lose_a man_n the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n if_o he_o know_v not_o the_o way_n out_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n to_o succour_v he_o therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a and_o content_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v direct_v he_o the_o way_n out_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v this_o be_v the_o path_n that_o lead_v you_o out_o of_o the_o wilderness_n to_o such_o a_o place_n will_v he_o not_o yield_v to_o his_o advice_n he_o be_v but_o a_o lose_a man_n so_o do_v thou_o see_v that_o thou_o be_v lose_v if_o thou_o lie_v in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n thou_o be_v a_o damn_a man_n and_o then_o lose_v do_v thou_o see_v that_o thou_o be_v unable_a to_o come_v out_o and_o succour_v thyself_o be_v thou_o content_v to_o be_v inform_v by_o god_n and_o dispose_v by_o he_o then_o mark_v what_o the_o text_n say_v the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o lord_n jesus_n come_v to_o seek_v such_o sinner_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o leave_v till_o he_o find_v thou_o and_o when_o he_o have_v find_v thou_o he_o will_v never_o leave_v till_o he_o have_v save_v thou_o the_o lord_n though_o thou_o can_v not_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v seek_v thou_o and_o when_o he_o have_v seek_v thou_o he_o will_v save_v thou_o too_o then_o if_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_n and_o the_o scope_n of_o his_o send_n be_v to_o save_v a_o lose_a sinner_n then_o above_o all_o he_o will_v attain_v his_o own_o end_n fulfil_v what_o be_v betrust_v to_o he_o he_o will_v seek_v and_o save_v he_o ground_n the_o second_o ground_n because_o a_o humble_a break_a soul_n be_v the_o fit_a subject_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o salvation_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n purchase_v and_o through_o christ_n convey_v to_o the_o soul_n i_o say_v they_o be_v the_o fit_a subject_n for_o god_n to_o work_v upon_o for_o the_o lord_n to_o come_v to_o and_o dwell_v in_o and_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o it_o deserve_v ephes_n 2.11.12_o the_o text_n say_v he_o work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n and_o why_o so_o namely_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n now_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v no_o soul_n so_o fit_a to_o set_v forth_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o great_a work_n of_o salvation_n as_o a_o break_a soul_n and_o self_n deny_v heart_n for_o a_o humble_a soul_n deny_v all_o in_o itself_o but_o expect_v all_o from_o grace_n and_o the_o free_a favour_n of_o god_n it_o say_v it_o be_v unworthy_a to_o receive_v mercy_n that_o it_o need_v and_o beg_v and_o therefore_o a_o humble_a soul_n be_v the_o fit_a of_o all_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n all_o the_o council_n of_o god_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o all_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v grace_n as_o in_o that_o of_o zacharie_n when_o the_o temple_n be_v build_v thy_o cry_v grace_n grace_n grace_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v grace_n lay_v the_o first_o stone_n and_o grace_n lay_v the_o last_o stone_n all_o be_v of_o grace_n from_o beginning_n to_o end_v so_o a_o humble_a soul_n set_v forth_o the_o freeness_n of_o god_n grace_n abundant_o and_o say_v i_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o hell_n and_o if_o i_o have_v any_o thing_n but_o hell_n it_o be_v from_o god_n mercy_n but_o a_o proud_a heart_n he_o oppose_v the_o work_n of_o god_n all_o the_o workmanship_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o proud_a heart_n will_v have_v something_o of_o itself_o and_o take_v something_o to_o itself_o to_o boast_v of_o and_o where_o be_v grace_n now_o its_o not_o grace_n but_o your_o part_n and_o ability_n that_o you_o attribute_v all_o to_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n hinder_v the_o set_n forth_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n therefore_o a_o humble_a soul_n be_v the_o best_a shop_n wherein_o the_o great_a work_n of_o redemption_n and_o frame_v of_o salvation_n may_v be_v see_v the_o poor_a soul_n will_v say_v look_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v and_o it_o be_v marvellous_a in_o our_o eye_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v marvellous_a in_o our_o heart_n look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o man_n no_o wise_a man_n will_v dwell_v in_o a_o house_n where_o his_o credit_n may_v not_o be_v maintain_v and_o where_o he_o may_v not_o have_v all_o convenience_n necessary_a and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o christ_n come_v into_o a_o humble_a heart_n it_o be_v the_o fit_a place_n for_o the_o credit_n of_o christ_n christ_n will_v work_v all_o in_o the_o soul_n the_o humble_a soul_n be_v content_a he_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o school_n rule_n there_o be_v no_o wise_a man_n that_o dispose_v of_o the_o frame_n of_o a_o building_n but_o if_o he_o have_v dispose_v of_o it_o he_o will_v set_v it_o up_o and_o dwell_v in_o it_o unless_o he_o want_v power_n or_o wisdom_n power_n in_o that_o he_o have_v begin_v a_o thing_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o finish_v it_o none_o of_o these_o can_v befall_v god_n god_n be_v a_o wise_a sufficient_a cause_n he_o never_o dispose_v of_o a_o matter_n full_o but_o he_o bring_v a_o frame_n and_o a_o form_n to_o the_o matter_n dispose_v now_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v prepare_v a_o building_n and_o frame_v a_o humble_a soul_n to_o dwell_v in_o if_o he_o will_v not_o finish_v his_o frame_n he_o must_v want_v power_n and_o wisdom_n but_o these_o can_v be_v want_v to_o a_o almighty_a and_o most_o wise_a god_n therefore_o he_o that_o have_v fit_v the_o heart_n for_o his_o own_o credit_n and_o for_o all_o convenience_n that_o all_o may_v be_v wrought_v by_o he_o and_o all_o glory_n may_v come_v to_o he_o sure_o that_o powerful_a god_n that_o can_v be_v hinder_v and_o that_o wise_a god_n that_o do_v nothing_o but_o out_o of_o wisdom_n he_o will_v rear_v up_o the_o build_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n shall_v be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o soul_n ground_n the_o three_o ground_n because_o now_o all_o hindrance_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o shall_v stop_v he_o and_o all_o impediment_n that_o shall_v let_v he_o be_v remove_v whole_o therefore_o the_o place_n be_v for_o he_o and_o he_o ready_a to_o come_v he_o must_v of_o necessity_n come_v for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o hindrance_n to_o stop_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o soul_n it_o must_v either_o lie_v on_o his_o part_n or_o on_o our_o part_n but_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n either_o on_o god_n part_n or_o a_o break_a soul_n part_n therefore_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v hinder_v the_o lord_n from_o come_v if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n on_o our_o part_n to_o hinder_v he_o it_o be_v either_o because_o we_o love_v ourselves_o or_o cleave_v to_o our_o
