these_o three_o part_n of_o the_o reason_n you_o will_v have_v from_o they_o all_o in_o consort_n a_o full_a harmony_n with_o and_o a_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o the_o doctrine_n if_o this_o be_v the_o design_n of_o god_n to_o discover_v christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n if_o all_o god_n work_n and_o mercy_n towards_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o order_n to_o this_o discovery_n if_o this_o be_v the_o end_n and_o the_o last_o of_o all_o god_n way_n then_o it_o follow_v natural_o from_o hence_o that_o as_o this_o discovery_n grow_v so_o likewise_o must_v all_o god_n work_n and_o mercy_n to_o his_o people_n grow_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n the_o late_a discovery_n bright_a the_o late_a work_n better_o and_o great_a than_o the_o former_a there_o be_v two_o use_n which_o i_o intend_v and_o those_o be_v two_o exhortation_n 1._o use_n a_o exhortation_n to_o we_o to_o be_v like_o god_n to_o answer_v 1._o his_o blessing_n with_o our_o praise_n in_o the_o same_o way_n and_o method_n as_o the_o pleasant_a colour_n of_o the_o morning_n have_v a_o glorious_a burial_n in_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o day_n so_o be_v it_o the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o make_v former_a mercy_n which_o be_v in_o themselves_o very_o precious_a yet_o to_o be_v but_o as_o thin_a ear_n as_o lean_a kine_n to_o ensue_a mercy_n and_o to_o be_v devour_v of_o they_o as_o the_o full_a the_o fat_a contrary_a to_o that_o which_o be_v in_o pharaoh_n dream_n according_o my_o text_n command_v we_o to_o make_v it_o our_o way_n in_o our_o praise_n to_o wrap_v up_o and_o overwhel_v i_o the_o memory_n of_o

as_o the_o footstool_n to_o the_o throne_n but_o as_o the_o tune_n of_o the_o instrument_n to_o some_o more_o excellent_a melody_n then_o be_v it_o also_o fit_a that_o our_o praise_n for_o former_a
