the_o benefit_n that_o he_o bestow_v on_o man_n without_o the_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v come_v without_o his_o blessing_n the_o ungodly_a of_o the_o earth_n do_v receive_v many_o of_o

of_o god_n make_v man_n true_o rich_a but_o whatsoever_o the_o ungodly_a possess_v be_v to_o they_o unsanctified_a therefore_o let_v not_o our_o eye_n be_v set_v upon_o that_o which_o they_o have_v and_o enjoy_v to_o envy_v their_o prosperity_n rather_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o want_n of_o god_n blessing_n to_o lament_v their_o misery_n and_o let_v saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o god_n bestow_v on_o his_o dear_a child_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o by_o prayer_n thus_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v make_v blessing_n to_o we_o &_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o they_o to_o god_n glory_n in_o we_o &_o the_o advancement_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o receiver_n do_v appear_v to_o we_o 1_o in_o the_o effect_n that_o these_o gift_n work_v in_o they_o 2_o in_o the_o use_n to_o which_o they_o be_v apply_v 1_o for_o the_o effect_n where_o god_n for_o

2_o for_o the_o use_n the_o just_a man_n apply_v all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o three_o end_n 1_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o he_o use_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o the_o faculty_n of_o

city_n therefore_o the_o faithful_a do_v apply_v all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o help_n to_o the_o prosecution_n of_o eternal_a life_n whereas_o the_o ungodly_a find_v they_o impediment_n to_o
