be_v under_o sinful_a misery_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o our_o transgression_n let_v we_o walk_v like_o man_n that_o have_v the_o father_n name_n make_v know_v to_o we_o we_o

peter_n to_o our_o saviour_n depart_v from_o we_o for_o we_o be_v sinful_a man_n why_o my_o belove_a do_v you_o know_v the_o father_n name_n the_o name_n which_o he_o himself_o proclaim_v to_o moses_n exod._n 34.6_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n god_n patient_a and_o long-suffering_a merciful_a and_o gracious_a and_o abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n keep_v mercy_n for_o thousand_o forgive_a iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n all_o sort_n all_o kind_n and_o all_o degree_n of_o sin_n and_o can_v you_o doubt_v whether_o there_o be_v enough_o of_o mercy_n in_o he_o to_o cure_v your_o sinful_a misery_n what_o do_v you_o want_v or_o what_o can_v you_o desire_v that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o his_o name_n be_v your_o sin_n many_o for_o the_o number_n of_o they_o and_o great_a for_o the_o measure_n of_o they_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v more_o and_o great_a he_o be_v abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n be_v they_o of_o divers_a sort_n and_o divers_a kind_n he_o forgive_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n have_v they_o be_v long_o continue_v and_o hold_v out_o against_o god_n he_o be_v gracious_a and_o long-suffering_a somewhat_o there_o be_v in_o

in_o the_o second_o place_n when_o we_o be_v under_o penal_a misery_n let_v we_o walk_v like_o man_n that_o have_v the_o father_n name_n make_v know_v to_o we_o what_o ever_o our_o distress_n be_v either_o personal_a or_o national_a let_v we_o not_o give_v all_o for_o lose_v as_o most_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o do_v oh_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v deliuèr_v there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n but_o we_o must_v sink_v in_o this_o affliction_n why_o my_o belove_a do_v you_o know_v the_o name_n of_o god_n do_v you_o know_v his_o power_n and_o mercy_n how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o you_o have_v so_o

and_o therefore_o while_o you_o be_v so_o diffident_a and_o faithless_a it_o be_v too_o apparent_a that_o you_o be_v not_o so_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o father_n name_n as_o you_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o be_v now_o i_o beseech_v you_o my_o belove_a take_v in_o the_o discovery_n that_o christ_n have_v make_v of_o this_o name_n and_o when_o you_o be_v in_o any_o misery_n in_o any_o sinful_a in_o any_o penal_a misery_n hide_v yourselves_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n john_n 17.6_o unto_o the_o man_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o far_o of_o our_o saviour_n action_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n of_o which_o he_o mind_v his_o father_n here_o i_o have_v manifest_v thy_o name_n proceed_v we_o now_o to_o his_o description_n of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o he_o have_v make_v know_v his_o father_n name_n the_o man_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o out_o of_o the_o world_n the_o father_n give_v man_n to_o his_o son_n

that_o they_o be_v give_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n they_o that_o be_v bestow_v upon_o he_o only_o for_o outward_a ministration_n as_o judas_n be_v or_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o outward_a

so_o because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o love_n to_o we_o work_v love_n in_o we_o to_o he_o again_o first_o he_o love_v we_o and_o when_o we_o know_v it_o than_o we_o

1_o to_o make_v a_o little_a application_n first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o discovery_n etc._n etc._n we_o see_v the_o reason_n then_o my_o brethren_n why_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n have_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o they_o though_o he_o be_v altogether_o lovely_a yet_o they_o love_v he_o not_o at_o all_o because_o his_o loveliness_n be_v hide_v from_o they_o his_o name_n be_v not_o declare_v to_o they_o they_o have_v no_o knwledge_n of_o his_o beauty_n goodness_n mercy_n love_n etc._n etc._n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o bear_v no_o affection_n to_o he_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o he_o stranger_n to_o he_o love_v he_o no_o more_o than_o they_o do_v a_o mere_a stranger_n but_o how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o ignorance_n

till_o jesus_n christ_n declare_v the_o father_n name_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n if_o you_o desire_v indeed_o to_o love_n god_n use_v 2_o and_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o

to_o his_o bless_a majesty_n when_o you_o be_v single_a and_o alone_a study_v the_o name_n of_o god_n think_v of_o his_o attribute_n let_v they_o be_v often_o in_o your_o meditation_n as_o you_o

that_o whatsoever_o goodness_n be_v to_o be_v find_v among_o the_o creature_n be_v eminent_o and_o transcendent_o in_o god_n himself_o now_o goodness_n be_v the_o object_n of_o love_n and_o
