house_n prepare_v for_o he_o so_o the_o lord_n dwell_v in_o a_o humble_a soul_n thus_o we_o have_v show_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o temple_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n into_o his_o temple_n as_o the_o temple_n be_v spiritual_o to_o be_v conceive_v so_o be_v this_o come_n by_o come_v be_v here_o mean_v when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o soul_n true_o prepare_v observe_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n christ_n come_v as_o a_o king_n therefore_o he_o have_v a_o harbinger_n before_o he_o he_o have_v one_o to_o prepare_v all_o thing_n for_o he_o a_o king_n come_v 2._o way_n first_o he_o take_v sovereign_a possession_n at_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v if_o he_o come_v to_o a_o town_n or_o to_o a_o inn_n the_o guest_n that_o take_v up_o the_o place_n must_v be_v go_v so_o the_o lord_n come_v as_o a_o king_n he_o come_v to_o take_v sovereign_a possession_n of_o the_o soul_n 2._o all_o king_n bring_v furniture_n with_o they_o when_o he_o come_v to_o a_o place_n his_o own_o furniture_n must_v be_v hang_v up_o so_o christ_n come_v these_o 2._o way_n he_o take_v full_a possession_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o provide_v merciful_o for_o the_o soul_n thus_o we_o have_v the_o word_n open_v and_o now_o the_o point_n be_v plain_a enough_o the_o english_a of_o the_o text_n be_v this_o when_o john_n the_o baptist_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o contrition_n and_o humiliation_n have_v lay_v the_o soul_n of_o god_n servant_n humble_v and_o willing_a to_o be_v at_o god_n dispose_n then_o sudden_o and_o immediate_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v come_v and_o he_o will_v command_v as_o a_o king_n and_o take_v possession_n of_o a_o humble_a soul_n and_o provide_v gracious_o for_o it_o he_o come_v to_o the_o naked_a wall_n he_o bring_v his_o provision_n with_o he_o he_o care_v for_o nothing_o but_o a_o soul_n prepare_v and_o empty_v and_o he_o will_v bring_v provision_n enough_o of_o vocation_n adoption_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n now_o we_o will_v gather_v the_o point_n as_o they_o lie_v doct._n 1_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n can_v be_v hinder_v from_o come_v into_o a_o humble_a soul_n doct._n 2_o that_o the_o lord_n christ_n take_v possession_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o king_n and_o will_v provide_v for_o it_o the_o first_o be_v that_o christ_n can_v be_v hinder_v from_o come_v into_o a_o soul_n true_o humble_v he_o come_v speedy_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o lay_v all_o other_o work_n aside_o as_o though_o he_o care_v for_o nothing_o look_v after_o nothing_o intend_v after_o nothing_o but_o how_o all_o may_v come_v into_o the_o heart_n prepare_v the_o wicked_a of_o the_o world_n he_o will_v not_o come_v at_o they_o though_o the_o rich_a cry_n he_o will_v not_o

he_o leave_v all_o company_n he_o leave_v heaven_n and_o the_o bless_a angel_n he_o leave_v all_o and_o only_o desire_v to_o be_v in_o and_o to_o live_v with_o a_o humble_a break_a heart_n it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o phrase_n he_o come_v sudden_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o let_v all_o alone_a he_o care_v for_o nothing_o go_v he_o must_v and_o take_v possession_n of_o a_o break_a soul_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o content_v itself_o in_o express_v the_o marvellous_a tender_a respect_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v towards_o such_o a_o soul_n the_o

he_o he_o never_o now_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v riotous_a a_o whorer_n a_o drunkard_n that_o he_o have_v lavish_v out_o all_o his_o substance_n all_o this_o be_v forget_v but_o when_o he_o see_v he_o come_v humble_o and_o break_o he_o see_v he_o a_o far_o off_o before_o the_o prodigal_a can_v see_v his_o father_n nay_o he_o compassioned_a his_o wretchedness_n before_o he_o can_v confess_v it_o nay_o he_o run_v to_o meet_v he_o more_o speedy_o than_o he_o can_v come_v to_o he_o and_o when_o the_o prodigal_a fall_v down_o before_o he_o he_o fall_v on_o his_o neck_n and_o kiss_v he_o before_o he_o can_v speak_v a_o word_n this_o scripture_n do_v not_o satisfy_v itself_o it_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o express_v the_o marvellous_a ready_a enlargement_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o give_v entertainment_n to_o a_o humble_a soul_n and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a after_o the_o prodigal_a have_v say_v father_n i_o have_v sin_v etc._n etc._n fetch_v out_o say_v he_o the_o best_a robe_n to_o

and_o kindness_n enlarge_v towards_o he_o yet_o the_o lose_a sheep_n will_v be_v straggle_v the_o lord_n leave_v all_o now_o to_o seek_v he_o and_o mark_v the_o phrase_n and_o the_o degree_n thereof_o he_o leave_v all_o to_o seek_v it_o and_o will_v never_o leave_v till_o he_o find_v it_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v hourly_o but_o he_o seek_v till_o he_o have_v find_v it_o when_o he_o have_v find_v it_o he_o bring_v it_o home_o the_o lord_n will_v leave_v all_o to_o seek_v a_o humble_a sinner_n the_o more_o need_n thou_o have_v of_o christ_n the_o more_o labour_n he_o will_v bestow_v in_o seek_v of_o

the_o scope_n of_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o pearl_n the_o text_n say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o pearl_n which_o when_o a_o merchant_n have_v find_v he_o seld_o all_o he_o
