hope_v for_o great_a and_o glorious_a thing_n as_o i_o give_v you_o a_o hint_n of_o they_o now_o let_v faith_n be_v exercise_v and_o strengthen_v in_o these_o thing_n if_o all_o those_o bless_a thing_n we_o speak_v of_o be_v present_a to_o the_o soul_n o_o how_o will_v our_o heart_n be_v above_o the_o creature_n how_o shall_v we_o look_v upon_o all_o thing_n here_o below_o as_o dung_n filth_n dross_n how_o will_v our_o thought_n be_v raise_v in_o the_o admiration_n of_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n how_o will_v our_o spirit_n be_v take_v up_o in_o wonder_v at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o appear_v in_o these_o thing_n how_o will_v our_o heart_n be_v inflame_v with_o love_n to_o god_n how_o will_v our_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n for_o the_o present_a what_o heavenly_a thought_n and_o heavenly_a affection_n will_v be_v in_o we_o in_o all_o our_o way_n and_o how_o will_v we_o venture_v to_o go_v through_o fire_n and_o water_n for_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n suffer_v any_o thing_n be_v any_o thing_n for_o god_n and_o do_v our_o faith_n make_v such_o glorious_a thing_n as_o these_o real_a and_o substantial_a to_o we_o how_o substantial_a will_v our_o duty_n and_o service_n be_v why_o be_v it_o then_o that_o our_o duty_n have_v so_o much_o vanity_n in_o they_o be_v so_o empty_a have_v nothing_o but_o circumstance_n in_o they_o certain_o brethren_n if_o our_o faith_n give_v a_o subsistence_n to_o such_o bless_a &_o glorious_a thing_n of_o eternal_a life_n it_o will_v likewise_o give_v a_o subsistence_n to_o all_o our_o duty_n and_o service_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o tender_v to_o god_n empty_a and_o dead_a service_n consider_v this_o you_o who_o though_o you_o dare_v not_o omit_v duty_n yet_o what_o empty_a duty_n do_v you_o tender_a to_o god_n your_o work_n shall_v be_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n shall_v give_v they_o a_o subsistence_n as_o well_o as_o it_o give_v your_o hope_n therefore_o satisfy_v not_o yourselves_o with_o that_o faith_n that_o will_v not_o give_v a_o subsistence_n to_o your_o duty_n and_o do_v not_o think_v it_o will_v give_v a_o subsistence_n to_o such_o glorious_a thing_n we_o speak_v of_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o particular_a faith_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o thing_n hope_v for_o i_o will_v fain_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o the_o second_o it_o be_v the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n here_o first_o that_o the_o thing_n of_o grace_n spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v thing_n not_o see_v and_o second_o that_o faith_n give_v a_o evidence_n to_o those_o thing_n first_o that_o grace_n spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v thing_n not_o see_v the_o apostle_n say_v gal._n 5._o 19_o 22._o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v manifest_a but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o say_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v these_o he_o do_v not_o say_v they_o be_v manifest_a for_o indeed_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o operation_n of_o they_o appear_v yet_o there_o be_v no_o external_a work_n of_o grace_n but_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v do_v it_o therefore_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v see_v either_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o sense_n or_o reason_n and_o then_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o heaven_n say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 2._o 18._o while_o we_o look_v not_o at_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v but_o at_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v temporal_a but_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v be_v eternal_a i_o may_v here_o discover_v to_o you_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v not_o see_v unto_o sense_n and_o reason_n many_o argument_n i_o think_v to_o have_v give_v to_o discover_v this_o i_o must_v but_o cull_v out_o two_o or_o three_o particular_n the_o riches_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v like_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o may_v be_v outward_o you_o see_v nothing_o but_o hideous_a wave_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o filth_n i_o but_o the_o riches_n be_v at_o the_o bottom_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v within_o and_o hide_a they_o do_v not_o appear_v so_o the_o riches_n and_o treasure_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v thing_n not_o see_v they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o very_a bosom_n of_o god_n in_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o god_n now_o as_o no_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n so_o no_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o he_o to_o who_o god_n do_v reveal_v they_o and_o then_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v beyond_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n they_o be_v too_o high_a and_o so_o too_o glorious_a for_o such_o a_o faculty_n as_o reason_n be_v if_o a_o object_n be_v too_o glorious_a for_o sense_n it_o destroy_v the_o sense_n so_o these_o object_n be_v too_o high_a for_o reason_n and_o and_o therefore_o can_v be_v see_v by_o reason_n and_o the_o blindness_n of_o man_n natural_o be_v such_o that_o he_o can_v see_v these_o thing_n and_o chief_o god_n so_o order_n thing_n in_o his_o providence_n that_o he_o go_v a_o quite_o contrary_a way_n as_o to_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o hide_v his_o glorious_a excellency_n by_o seem_v to_o go_v in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o providence_n direct_o cross_v to_o what_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o may_v show_v how_o god_n have_v hide_v from_o sense_n and_o reason_n his_o mercy_n to_o his_o own_o people_n that_o of_o abraham_n be_v considerable_a there_o be_v two_o promise_n god_n make_v to_o abraham_n the_o one_o of_o go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n and_o carry_v he_o to_o a_o land_n flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n the_o other_o that_o he_o will_v make_v his_o seed_n as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n for_o multitude_n and_o that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v mark_v now_o if_o abraham_n have_v not_o have_v something_o to_o evidence_n that_o which_o be_v not_o see_v he_o can_v never_o have_v see_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n in_o these_o promise_n for_o when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n he_o come_v to_o ganaan_n the_o country_n promise_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v there_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o starve_v and_o be_v fain_o to_o fly_v to_o egypt_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v faith_n he_o will_v have_v fall_v off_o and_o have_v be_v ready_a to_o turn_v back_o again_o and_o then_o for_o the_o second_o promise_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v abraham_n go_v on_o seaventy_n year_n and_o his_o wife_n have_v no_o child_n and_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v with_o she_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o woman_n she_o be_v old_a and_o abraham_n body_n dead_a and_o after_o he_o have_v a_o child_n he_o must_v kill_v he_o and_o be_v save_v isaac_n must_v be_v forty_o year_n before_o he_o be_v marry_v and_o when_o he_o be_v marry_v he_o must_v have_v no_o child_n in_o twenty_o year_n and_o in_o the_o first_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n after_o the_o promise_n there_o be_v but_o seaventy_n of_o all_o his_o seed_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o promise_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v thus_o god_n seem_v to_o go_v cross_a to_o what_o he_o promise_v we_o may_v instance_n also_o in_o jacob_n god_n command_v jacob_n to_o return_v from_o laban_n and_o after_o that_o mark_v how_o god_n follow_v he_o first_o his_o uncle_n laban_n follow_v he_o with_o thought_n to_o slay_v he_o second_o in_o his_o journey_n his_o wife_n nurse_n die_v three_o his_o wife_n die_v four_o dinay_n be_v ravish_v five_o his_o two_o son_n simeon_n and_o levy_n commit_v that_o villainy_n that_o make_v he_o stink_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n six_o esau_n come_v to_o destroy_v he_o and_o all_o this_o in_o that_o journey_n that_o god_n command_v jacob_n to_o take_v now_o if_o jacob_n have_v not_o have_v faith_n to_o look_v through_o these_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v encourage_v he_o in_o his_o way_n to_o thing_n not_o see_v it_o have_v be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v have_v go_v on_o so_o when_o god_n bring_v israel_n to_o canaan_n you_o know_v what_o a_o way_n they_o go_v about_o through_o the_o wilderness_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o canaan_n a_o land_n flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n god_n
