of_o believer_n any_o room_n in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n for_o they_o be_v holy_a they_o be_v external_a saint_n and_o separate_v to_o god_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o once_o they_o

the_o apostle_n plain_o the_o gentile_n be_v make_v one_o 14._o with_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n we_o be_v graff_v in_o among_o the_o branch_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v they_o shall_v be_v all_o cast_v off_o and_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o olive_n and_o not_o a_o syllable_n of_o it_o mention_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o scripture_n no_o account_n give_v to_o the_o world_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o such_o a_o time_n when_o the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n be_v reveal_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o grace_n come_v by_o he_o and_o now_o there_o shall_v be_v less_o grace_n come_v by_o he_o and_o narrow_a privilege_n to_o the_o church_n will_v hardly_o be_v understand_v i_o think_v the_o three_o doctrinal_a from_o the_o word_n will_v be_v this_o in_o the_o visible_a 3._o church_n there_o be_v some_o good_a some_o bad_a ordinary_o they_o be_v not_o all_o wise_a virgin_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v compare_v to_o but_o five_o wise_a five_o foolish_a all_o within_o the_o visible_a church_n be_v not_o wise_a to_o salvation_n five_o of_o they_o be_v wise_a five_o be_v foolish_a the_o proportion_n of_o the_o wise_a to_o the_o foolish_a five_o to_o five_o in_o the_o parable_n be_v not_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o good_a as_o bad_a in_o the_o church_n there_o may_v possible_o be_v a_o visible_a church_n where_o there_o be_v none_o bad_a but_o i_o doubt_v there_o be_v none_o such_o find_v there_o be_v but_o twelve_o disciple_n and_o one_o be_v a_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o parable_n whereour_n saviour_n hold_v out_o the_o nature_n and_o state_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n to_o we_o be_v we_o find_v there_o be_v a_o mixture_n so_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a there_o be_v four_o sort_n of_o ground_n to_o which_o the_o kingdom_n 19_o of_o heaven_n be_v compare_v and_o but_o one_o of_o they_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o perfection_n the_o stony_a ground_n it_o be_v quick_o scorch_v from_o the_o sandy_a ground_n spring_v up_o quick_o and_o wither_v as_o soon_o the_o thorny_a ground_n hold_v out_o long_o and_o endure_v happy_o the_o scorch_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o persecution_n and_o yet_o be_v choke_v when_o all_o be_v do_v and_o so_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o tare_n sow_v in_o the_o field_n they_o grow_v up_o 25._o with_o the_o corn_n and_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o ancient_a report_n even_o jerom_n be_v so_o like_v it_o while_n in_o the_o blade_n that_o they_o can_v be_v hardly_o discern_v from_o it_o but_o there_o they_o grow_v and_o partake_v of_o the_o juice_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o fatness_n of_o the_o soil_n and_o be_v green_a and_o flourish_n and_o yet_o at_o last_o be_v single_v out_o for_o fire_n and_o so_o the_o barn-floor_n there_o be_v wheat_n and_o there_o be_v chaff_n lie_v together_o until_o he_o who_o fan_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n shall_v thorough_o purge_v it_o and_o then_o the_o separation_n be_v make_v 6._o woe_n to_o the_o chaff_n but_o at_o present_a etc._n etc._n and_o so_o the_o draw-net_n though_o it_o gather_v together_o somewhat_o naught_o which_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v away_o yet_o while_o under_o water_n it_o be_v hide_v and_o so_o the_o apostle_n all_o be_v not_o israel_n that_o be_v of_o israel_n some_o be_v israel_n that_o be_v of_o israel_n but_o all_o be_v not_o some_o be_v of_o israel_n though_o they_o be_v not_o the_o israel_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v inherit_v the_o heavenly_a canaan_n i_o hope_v it_o be_v needless_a to_o waste_v more_o time_n in_o heap_v up_o of_o scripture_n to_o make_v it_o good_a the_o ground_n may_v be_v because_o the_o church_n here_o below_o the_o visible_a reason_n church_n which_o admit_v of_o member_n have_v not_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n to_o discern_v the_o
that_o watch_v with_o we_o to_o keep_v we_o awake_v lest_o if_o he_o withdraw_v we_o fall_v asleep_a when_o of_o all_o other_o time_n we_o have_v most_o need_n to_o be_v awake_a five_o then_o what_o have_v some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o bless_v he_o for_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o that_o he_o have_v keep_v they_o awake_a 5._o special_o in_o the_o time_n of_o need_n it_o be_v double_a and_o treble_a mercy_n you_o hear_v before_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a praise_n to_o be_v keep_v awake_a ordinary_o but_o in_o a_o hour_n of_o temptation_n to_o be_v keep_v awake_a watch_v and_o pray_v so_o that_o when_o other_o have_v enter_v into_o temptation_n thou_o have_v be_v deliver_v o_o what_o mercy_n be_v this_o and_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o high_o favour_v thou_o more_o than_o other_o of_o his_o people_n so_o when_o he_o have_v in_o his_o ordinance_n sometime_o be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v transfigure_v before_o we_o and_o when_o other_o have_v be_v asleep_o have_v see_v nothing_o of_o it_o at_o all_o or_o very_o little_a thou_o have_v be_v keep_v awake_v all_o the_o while_n o_o that_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o set_v a_o price_n upon_o such_o a_o mercy_n as_o this_o how_o sad_a a_o loss_n will_v it_o have_v be_v if_o thou_o have_v sleep_v away_o such_o a_o season_n as_o other_o have_v do_v that_o haply_o thou_o may_v never_o have_v see_v again_o what_o have_v the_o disciple_n lose_v if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v they_o to_o sleep_v all_o the_o while_n of_o his_o transfiguration_n somewhat_o they_o see_v of_o it_o and_o by_o that_o they_o see_v they_o may_v gather_v the_o better_a what_o they_o have_v lose_v it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v lose_v something_o in_o such_o a_o time_n by_o sleep_v a_o while_n but_o have_v he_o awake_v thou_o to_o see_v the_o rest_n oh_o that_o god_n will_v help_v to_o prize_v our_o mercy_n to_o bless_v and_o magnify_v he_o for_o it_o six_o in_o the_o last_o place_n then_o if_o we_o find_v ourselves_o grow_v secure_a and_o slumber_v and_o sleep_v suspect_v there_o be_v a_o hour_n of_o great_a 6._o need_n to_o watch_v to_o be_v awake_a at_o hand_n either_o the_o
