often_o in_o our_o heart_n be_v jacob_n do_v of_o the_o mountain_n where_o god_n appear_v to_o wit_n how_o dreadful_a be_v this_o place_n and_z then_o how_o quick_a and_o powerful_a be_v those_o word_n that_o proceed_v from_o that_o dread_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n that_o ride_v upon_o the_o beast_n be_v then_o inward_o discover_v with_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o name_n and_o number_n thereof_o to_o wit_n the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n which_o cause_v we_o at_o the_o beginning_n so_o to_o cry_v down_o vain_a corrupt_a man_n both_o in_o ourselves_o and_o other_o feeling_n that_o god_n be_v rise_v in_o his_o power_n to_o confound_v its_o wisdom_n and_o to_o bring_v his_o fleshly_a prudence_n and_o policy_n to_o nothing_o therefore_o we_o fear_v the_o get_n up_o of_o that_o mans-part_n in_o ourselves_o be_v so_o batter_v by_o the_o inward_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o ourselves_o that_o with_o good_a jehosaphat_n we_o say_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v but_o our_o eye_n be_v towards_o thou_o o_o god_n then_o in_o this_o valley_n of_o helplesness_n strait_n poverty_n lowliness_n and_o humility_n god_n plead_v with_o our_o fleshly_a part_n so_o that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o distress_n although_o we_o multiply_v our_o service_n and_o double_v our_o offering_n and_o observation_n to_o obtain_v relief_n yet_o christ_n refuse_v all_o these_o our_o work_n that_o he_o may_v free_o make_v himself_o know_v unto_o we_o which_o in_o due_a time_n he_o do_v as_o joseph_n unto_o his_o brethren_n and_o say_v that_o scripture_n there_o stand_v no_o man_n with_o he_o when_o he_o make_v himself_o know_v unto_o they_o to_o the_o exalt_v of_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n in_v we_o whereby_o sorrow_n flee_v away_o and_o our_o own_o mournful_a spirit_n be_v now_o make_v to_o rejoice_v in_o god_n and_o our_o former_o trouble_a soul_n begin_v now_o to_o magnify_v our_o saviour_n thus_o former_a thing_n pass_v away_o till_o the_o tempestuous_a sea_n be_v no_o more_o but_o joy_n and_o gladness_n be_v in_o our_o dwelling_n and_o the_o voice_n of_o melody_n in_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o assembly_n but_o before_o we_o come_v hither_o you_o know_v fellow_n traveller_n that_o mount_n sinai_n be_v first_o in_o our_o way_n where_o we_o tarry_v a_o while_n and_o feel_v the_o entertainment_n of_o her_o flame_n and_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o word_n and_o the_o sound_n of_o her_o trumpet_n and_o be_v witness_n of_o her_o terrible_a earthquake_n yet_o flee_v not_o but_o with_o moses_n a_o remnant_n draw_v near_o unto_o the_o thick_a darkness_n where_o god_n be_v but_o other_o make_v this_o mountain_n the_o end_n of_o their_o journey_n escape_v with_o their_o life_n still_o in_o their_o own_o do_n yet_o these_o though_o they_o may_v in_o profession_n come_v out_o with_o we_o thus_o far_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o and_o in_o time_n will_v go_v out_o from_o we_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v they_o come_v not_o through_o all_o the_o tribulation_n that_o a_o remnant_n go_v through_o for_o from_o thence_o a_o remnant_n come_v unto_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o prophet_n where_o they_o meet_v with_o open_n and_o prophecy_n of_o good_a thing_n yet_o to_o come_v before_o they_o do_v come_v and_o here_o other_o flee_v as_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o if_o now_o all_o labour_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o here_o they_o take_v up_o their_o rest_n but_o god_n do_v not_o sanctify_v it_o and_o therefore_o glory_v and_o pride_n get_v up_o in_o these_o boast_v in_o the_o gifted-man_n soon_o forget_v all_o dependence_n upon_o the_o opener_n viz._n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n to_o exercise_v their_o heart_n and_o tongue_n in_o the_o mannagement_n of_o all_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o refreshment_n of_o his_o own_o seed_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n but_o a_o remnant_n still_o travel_v on_o through_z john_n baptist_n cry_n in_o the_o wilderness_n make_v straight_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o come_v to_o repentance_n for_o all_o their_o dead_a word_n and_o work_n that_o every_o valley_n may_v be_v fill_v and_o every_o mountain_n and_o hill_n bring_v low_a and_o the_o crooked_a make_v straight_o and_o the_o rough_a way_n make_v smooth_a then_o come_v we_o to_o see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n who_o then_o we_o follow_v leaving_z john_n as_o some_o of_o his_o own_n disciple_n do_v some_o also_o come_v with_o we_o as_o far_o as_o john_n baptism_n that_o wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o not_o come_v to_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n which_o wash_v all_o filthiness_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n also_o they_o leave_v we_o at_o john_n such_o as_o these_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n who_o at_o the_o
