be_v because_o in_o this_o way_n the_o father_n himself_o be_v most_o glorify_a the_o attribute_n of_o god_n do_v shine_v in_o a_o great_a lustre_n in_o this_o way_n of_o reconciliation_n then_o if_o

bright_a and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o glass_n to_o behold_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o reconciliation_n we_o indeed_o behold_v and_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o in_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o work_n of_o reconciliation_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o bright_a glass_n wherein_o all_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n attribute_n be_v unite_v together_o and_o shine_v with_o a_o transcendent_a lustre_n yea_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o lustre_n and_o a_o

because_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o beginning_n of_o god_n mercy_n how_o god_n begin_v with_o they_o because_o they_o have_v not_o all_o the_o mercy_n they_o will_v have_v therefore_o they_o neglect_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o beginning_n
of_o mercy_n but_o now_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o observe_v the_o begining_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o to_o pray_v when_o he_o begin_v to_o open_v the_o door_n and_o let_v in_o a_o little_a

to_o the_o more_o general_a and_o therefore_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n our_o condition_n require_v we_o must_v venture_v upon_o it_o at_o least_o now_o though_o i_o shall_v never_o do_v
