the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o letter_n of_o the_o a_o b_o c_o the_o ancient_a of_o day_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n it_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o may_v crack_v more_o of_o our_o old_a hold_v and_o old_a charter_n nor_o all_o the_o world_n can_v do_v for_o why_o when_o begin_v christ_n to_o bear_v a_o goodwill_n to_o a_o sinner_n even_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v god_n and_o he_o be_v god_n from_o all_o eternity_n suppose_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n be_v eternal_a the_o light_n of_o it_o behoove_v to_o be_v eternal_a for_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v as_o old_a as_o the_o sun_n love_n be_v a_o beam_n of_o light_n and_o heat_n that_o come_v from_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n therefore_o everliving_a christ_n and_o everliving_a love_n for_o love_n come_v not_o on_o christ_n the_o day_n which_o be_v not_o in_o he_o yesterday_o man_n love_n and_o a_o king_n love_n be_v hunt_v for_o very_o much_o and_o yet_o they_o die_v and_o their_o love_n die_v with_o they_o and_o often_o their_o love_n die_v before_o themselves_o but_o who_o seek_v christ_n love_n that_o change_v not_o yea_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o admiration_n and_o wonder_n that_o christ_n shall_v have_v think_v on_o we_o worm_n of_o clay_n ere_o ever_o we_o be_v and_o that_o our_o salvation_n be_v as_o old_a as_o evermore_o and_o as_o old_a as_o christ_n and_o christ_n be_v as_o old_a as_o god_n for_o indeed_o if_o god_n shall_v begin_v at_o any_o point_n of_o time_n to_o love_v sinner_n his_o love_n shall_v have_v have_v a_o beginning_n and_o if_o his_o love_n shall_v have_v have_v a_o beginning_n christ_n himself_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o beginning_n because_o love_v with_o he_o be_v one_o with_o his_o essence_n and_o nature_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v can_v the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v old_a than_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n answer_n christ_n death_n do_v not_o make_v god_n proper_o a_o hater_n or_o lover_n of_o man_n for_o then_o both_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v changeable_a and_o his_o love_n have_v a_o beginning_n how_o then_o christ_n death_n do_v not_o only_o let_v that_o god_n may_v kith_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o eternal_a love_n out_o upon_o we_o but_o after_o such_o a_o way_n as_o he_o think_v convenient_a for_o his_o justice_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o reconcile_v to_o be_v god_n and_o god_n be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o his_o love_n be_v everlasting_a because_o by_o order_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v before_o the_o seed_n before_o we_o have_v do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_a so_o that_o sin_n shall_v not_o change_v god_n mind_n but_o only_o by_o the_o order_n of_o justice_n sin_n stand_v in_o the_o way_n to_o hinder_v we_o of_o life_n everlasting_a which_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o his_o love_n yea_o more_o god_n with_o that_o same_o love_n in_o christ_n love_v the_o elect_a before_o and_o after_o conversion_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v to_o rejoice_v in_o feel_v any_o of_o god_n love_n to_o we_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v old_a acquaintance_n betwixt_o he_o and_o we_o and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v folly_n in_o man_n as_o solomon_n say_v to_o cast_v off_o his_o old_a friend_n and_o his_o father_n friend_n so_o let_v we_o think_v it_o madness_n to_o cast_v off_o such_o a_o old_a friend_n as_o christ_n and_o let_v our_o
