lord_n have_v not_o know_v thou_o thou_o have_v not_o know_v thyself_o not_o know_v he_o not_o know_v heaven_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o see_v thou_o first_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o mercy_n thou_o have_v never_o see_v he_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n so_o belove_v before_o god_n messenger_n call_v we_o from_o the_o darkness_n of_o sin_n and_o ignorance_n to_o the_o marvellous_a

mercy_n and_o have_v compassion_n on_o we_o and_o decree_v concern_v we_o to_o give_v deliverance_n according_a to_o that_o charge_n to_o his_o messenger_n 33.24_o job_n 33.24_o deliver_v he_o that_o he_o go_v not_o down_o into_o the_o pit_n for_o i_o have_v receive_v a_o reconciliation_n if_o then_o the_o lord_n know_v we_o if_o the_o lord_n see_v we_o with_o this_o prevent_a gift_n of_o grace_n whilst_o we_o embrace_v the_o same_o we_o be_v so_o move_v that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o come_v to_o see_v christ_n with_o nathaniel_n nor_o long_o only_o with_o the_o greek_n say_v we_o will_v fain_o see_v jesus_n 21._o joh._n 12_o 21._o but_o as_o the_o faithful_a soul_n speak_v 1.3_o ca._n 1.3_o we_o run_v after_o he_o in_o the_o sweet_a savour_n of_o his_o ointment_n and_o so_o run_v that_o we_o obtain_v the_o saviour_n yet_o have_v obtain_v we_o humble_o remember_v that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v 7._o 1._o cor._n 4_o 7._o o_o tu_fw-la ecclesia_fw-la say_v saint_n austin_n o_o thou_o church_n cap._n s._n au._n in_o pri_fw-la cap._n o_o thou_o israel_n without_o fraud_n if_o thou_o be_v now_o a_o holy_a people_n and_o have_v know_v christ_n by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n as_o nathaniel_n know_v he_o by_o the_o guidance_n of_o philip_n yet_o miserecordia_fw-la sva_fw-la ante_fw-la

the_o true_a israelite_n but_o the_o fraudulent_a and_o proud-hearted_a pelagian_a a_o injurious_a ingrateful_a fraud_n it_o be_v to_o arrogate_v that_o to_o ourselves_o which_o we_o have_v of_o the_o

1_o the_o power_n of_o his_o direction_n 2_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o direction_n for_o the_o power_n of_o it_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o ministerial_a direction_n as_o a_o order_n for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n sanctify_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n to_o be_v the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o christ_n to_o salvation_n according_a to_o that_o in_o st._n johns_n gospel_n 17.17_o joh._n 17.17_o sanctify_v they_o in_o thy_o truth_n thy_o word_n be_v the_o truth_n and_o to_o that_o in_o the_o act_v speak_v by_o st._n paul_n i_o commend_v you_o to_o god_n 20.32_o act._n 20.32_o and_o the_o word_n of_o his_o grace_n which_o be_v able_a to_o build_v further_o who_o therefore_o call_v the_o gospel_n the_o word_n of_o god_n grace_n not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v a_o gracious_a word_n full_a of_o comfort_n to_o the_o penitent_a contrite_a and_o borken_v heart_n but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o instrument_n or_o mean_n whereby_o god_n convey_v his_o grace_n to_o the_o faithful_a hearer_n hence_o saint_n peter_n exhort_v 2._o 1._o pet._n 2_o 2._o as_o new_a bear_v babe_n desire_v the_o sincere_a milk_n of_o the_o word_n that_o you_o may_v grow_v thereby_o and_o saint_n james_n have_v say_v that_o god_n of_o his_o own_o will_n beget_v we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n infer_v present_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n be_v swift_a to_o hear_v 1.9_o ja._n 1.9_o and_o saint_n paul_n by_o that_o question_n of_o he_o how_o shall_v they_o believe_v unless_o they_o hear_v 10.14_o ro._n 10.14_o do_v manifest_o approve_v the_o word_n as_o the_o instrument_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n 3.2_o gal._n 3.2_o he_o call_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n the_o hear_n of_o faith_n say_v receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n let_v we_o then_o acknowledge_v god_n order_n for_o salvation_n and_o that_o the_o church_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n let_v we_o magnify_v god_n ordinance_n and_o not_o base_o esteem_v a_o instrument_n so_o powerful_a and_o divine_a next_o let_v we_o not_o dream_v of_o any_o other_o course_n from_o god_n for_o our_o conversion_n last_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o that_o ministration_n true_o effectual_o infallible_o move_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o incline_v they_o to_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n whilst_o the_o word_n be_v hear_v of_o they_o read_z and_o think_v upon_o so_o that_o god_n be_v never_o want_v to_o bless_v this_o his_o order_n of_o minister_a the_o word_n and_o our_o labour_n in_o hear_v never_o lose_v so_o that_o we_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o hear_v and_o neglect_v not_o so_o great_a salvation_n for_o as_o in_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o our_o lord_n body_n and_o blood_n if_o we_o do_v not_o set_v a_o bar_n against_o the_o grace_n of_o that_o by_o a_o purpose_n to_o continue_v in_o sin_n we_o do_v infallible_o partake_v of_o the_o spiritual_a food_n to_o eternal_a life_n so_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n we_o have_v assure_v certainty_n to_o receive_v the_o gift_n of_o faith_n unless_o by_o our_o idle_a and_o wanton_a neglect_n it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o pearl_n be_v cast_v before_o swine_n 7.6_o mat._n 7.6_o 2._o the_o manner_n of_o the_o direction_n have_v hear_v of_o the_o power_n now_o

guide_n 3_o the_o fidelity_n of_o nathaniels_n guide_n his_o charity_n appear_v in_o desire_v speedy_o to_o impart_v unto_o other_o of_o that_o good_a which_o he_o himself_o have_v receive_v philip_n be_v no_o soon_o call_v himself_o but_o he_o call_v nathaniel_n no_o soon_o have_v he_o experience_n of_o the_o heavenly_a and_o incorruptible_a treasure_n and_o taste_v how_o gracious_a the_o lord_n be_v but_o he_o endeavour_v to_o communicate_v the_o same_o to_o nathaniel_n thas_o he_o also_o may_v rejoice_v in_o god_n his_o saviour_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a how_o cheerful_o philip_n proceed_v in_o this_o business_n as_o a_o man_n surprise_v with_o joy_n ravish_v with_o contentment_n in_o the_o voice_n of_o exultation_n his_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v leap_v for_o joy_n at_o his_o
