this_o than_o with_o the_o other_o and_o i_o pray_v what_o then_o do_v but_o observe_v paul_n who_o gracious_a he_o be_v how_o humble_a he_o be_v how_o thankful_a he_o be_v how_o ready_a to_o serve_v christ_n how_o ready_a to_o serve_v the_o church_n for_o christ_n how_o ready_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n upon_o all_o occasion_n oh_o how_o gracious_a do_v this_o make_v he_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o freegrace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o heart_n be_v more_o take_v herewithal_o than_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o heaven_n ah_o say_v a_o poor_a soul_n i_o be_v go_v on_o in_o such_o a_o sinful_a way_n or_o i_o lie_v sleep_v and_o snort_v in_o my_o sin_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o before_o ever_o i_o be_v aware_a the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n do_v approach_v unto_o i_o and_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o freegrace_n show_v mercy_n to_o my_o family_n and_o to_o my_o poor_a soul_n oh_o therefore_o any_o thing_n for_o jesus_n christ_n oh_o i_o will_v spend_v and_o be_v spend_v oh_o any_o thing_n for_o jesus_n christ_n the_o sight_n of_o god_n grace_n do_v make_v one_o gracious_a and_o therefore_o christ_n do_v take_v this_o way_n cause_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n grace_n and_o free_a remission_n to_o approach_v first_o unto_o we_o before_o we_o do_v draw_v near_o to_o it_o there_o be_v one_o reason_n more_o i_o will_v but_o name_v it_o christ_n do_v so_o order_v thing_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o no_o flesh_n may_v glory_v in_o itself_o or_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o it_o have_v or_o do_v that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rest_v in_o any_o duty_n in_o any_o service_n in_o any_o suffering_n but_o only_o upon_o grace_n upon_o christ_n alone_o belove_a we_o be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o come_v unto_o any_o duty_n and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v we_o be_v then_o as_o apt_a to_o rest_v upon_o it_o as_o ever_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o come_v unto_o it_o but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o rest_v upon_o their_o duty_n but_o because_o there_o be_v these_o secret_a thought_n that_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n before_o he_o do_v come_v to_o they_o let_v the_o heart_n be_v possess_v with_o this_o truth_n that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o freegrace_n do_v approach_n unto_o we_o and_o come_v near_o to_o we_o before_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o it_o and_o then_o he_o will_v not_o rest_v so_o much_o upon_o what_o he_o be_v do_v or_o suffer_v a_o man_n in_o this_o case_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o silkworm_n you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o that_o worm_n it_o make_v a_o fine_a web_n a_o fine_a work_n and_o when_o it_o have_v do_v it_o die_v in_o it_o afterward_o it_o eat_v a_o hole_n through_o the_o work_n and_o it_o come_v out_o with_o wing_n a_o quite_o other_o creature_n than_o it_o go_v into_o it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o poor_a christian_a he_o make_v a_o fine_a work_n of_o duty_n and_o then_o he_o die_v in_o it_o but_o through_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v eat_v a_o hole_n through_o all_o and_o he_o come_v out_o with_o wing_n fly_v away_o from_o his_o duty_n not_o so_o as_o to_o neglect_v the_o performance_n of_o they_o but_o so_o as_o not_o to_o rest_v upon_o they_o fly_v away_o from_o in_o regard_n of_o rest_v upon_o any_o duty_n and_o only_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o say_v he_o god_n do_v draw_v near_o to_o i_o grace_n do_v draw_v near_o to_o i_o mercy_n do_v draw_v near_o to_o i_o before_o ever_o i_o draw_v near_o to_o it_o and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v i_o rest_v upon_o any_o duty_n perform_v it_o i_o will_v but_o through_o grace_n i_o will_v not_o rest_v upon_o it_o by_o way_n of_o application_n 1_o applic._n 1_o let_v we_o i_o pray_v consider_v with_o ourselves_o whether_o god_n have_v deal_v thus_o by_o our_o soul_n or_o no_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n approach_v and_o draw_v near_o unto_o we_o before_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o it_o if_o not_o true_o for_o aught_o that_o i_o know_v we_o be_v yet_o under_o the_o law_n and_o all_o our_o mourning_n and_o walking_n heaven-ward_n they_o be_v but_o legal_a if_o god_n love_v you_o indeed_o he_o show_v kindness_n and_o mercy_n to_o you_o before_o you_o do_v come_v to_o he_o it_o be_v with_o god_n darling_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o worlds-darling_n you_o have_v some_o man_n take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n rise_v early_o and_o go_v to_o bed_v late_o and_o yet_o the_o world_n do_v not_o smile_v upon_o they_o these_o be_v the_o world_n enemy_n some_o take_v pain_n and_o grow_v rich_a thereby_o these_o be_v the_o world_n friend_n other_o there_o be_v again_o that_o before_o ever_o they_o take_v any_o pain_n the_o lord_n be_v upon_o they_o with_o the_o world_n blessing_n these_o be_v the_o world_n darling_n so_o i_o say_v god_n have_v his_o darling_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o god_n darling_n he_o do_v cause_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n grace_n and_o free-remission_n to_o appear_v and_o draw_v near_o unto_o thy_o soul_n even_o before_o thou_o do_v draw_v near_o to_o it_o have_v god_n deal_v thus_o by_o any_o of_o you_o oh_o contemplate_n consider_v serious_o the_o sweetness_n of_o this_o grace_n belove_a prevent_n grace_n be_v sweet_a grace_n the_o lord_n give_v a_o grow_v a_o kingdom_n to_o david_n but_o the_o best_a pearl_n in_o all_o the_o crown_n that_o his_o eye_n be_v most_o upon_o be_v god_n prevent_v mercy_n 21.3_o psa_fw-la 21.3_o lord_n say_v he_o thou_o have_v prevent_v i_o with_o the_o

poor_a shepherd_n keep_v my_o father_n sheep_n thou_o do_v prevent_v i_o with_o thy_o love_n so_o may_v a_o poor_a soul_n say_v ah_o lord_n thou_o have_v not_o only_o give_v i_o a_o kingdom_n but_o thou_o have_v prevent_v i_o with_o thy_o love_n it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n that_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v answer_v our_o prayer_n give_v we_o any_o mercy_n upon_o

the_o glory_n of_o this_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o quest_n but_o suppose_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n
