right_o one_o to_o another_o whether_o according_a to_o their_o principle_n they_o do_v not_o wrong_v one_o the_o other_o and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v and_o

give_v to_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o belong_v to_o the_o head-ship_n of_o christ_n which_o must_v not_o be_v pass_v by_o though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o full_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o text_n as_o what_o have_v already_o be_v say_v and_o that_o be_v the_o influence_n of_o spiritual_a life_n that_o come_v unto_o the_o church_n by_o christ_n the_o head_n as_o the_o animal_n spirit_n come_v from_o the_o head_n to_o the_o member_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n first_o why_o grace_n in_o the_o saint_n be_v of_o such_o a_o beautiful_a and_o glorious_a nature_n as_o it_o be_v because_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n the_o head_n adaâ—_n second_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o power_n and_o efficacy_n that_o there_o be_v of_o grace_n in_o the_o saint_n because_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n the_o head_n three_o this_o be_v also_o the_o reason_n why_o grace_n in_o the_o saint_n be_v of_o such_o a_o everlasting_a

and_o it_o be_v of_o a_o more_o everlasting_a nature_n then_o that_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n because_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o saint_n hold_v upon_o christ_n the_o head_n &_o have_v a_o

be_v these_o two_o excellent_a meditation_n from_o thence_o the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n bowel_n of_o compassion_n do_v work_n towards_o his_o church_n because_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o affliction_n obser_n when_o their_o affliction_n shall_v be_v very_o great_a and_o the_o great_a they_o be_v the_o more_o do_v god_n bowel_n of_o compassion_n work_v towards_o they_o we_o know_v the_o misery_n of_o god_n people_n in_o exo._n 3_o be_v a_o marvelous_a quicken_a argument_n to_o the_o compassion_n of_o god_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v i_o have_v see_v i_o have_v see_v say_v he_o the_o affliction_n of_o my_o people_n and_o their_o sorrow_n and_o therefore_o be_o come_v down_o to_o deliver_v they_o if_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o church_n move_v the_o bowel_n of_o god_n compassion_n then_o let_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o affliction_n hinder_v our_o faith_n let_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o trouble_n reason_n down_o our_o faith_n but_o rather_o let_v it_o reason_v up_o our_o faith_n for_o so_o indeed_o it_o shall_v and_o so_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n heretofore_o have_v do_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o trouble_n we_o must_v reason_v up_o our_o faith_n as_o thus_o it_o be_v â—â—me_n for_o thou_o o_o lord_n to_o work_v for_o man_n have_v almost_o destroy_v thy_o law_n yea_o the_o high_a time_n be_v come_v for_o thou_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o zion_n heart_n for_o thy_o people_n begin_v to_o favour_v the_o dust_n thereof_o what_o be_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o pardon_v my_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v very_o great_a to_o move_v god_n withal_o sure_o then_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n deliver_v we_o in_o our_o affliction_n for_o they_o be_v very_o great_a for_o sin_n make_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o then_o affliction_n yet_o if_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v put_v as_o a_o argument_n for_o god_n mercy_n and_o compassion_n to_o work_v much_o more_o the_o greatness_n of_o affliction_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o second_o covenant_n that_o even_o the_o sin_n that_o before_o make_v the_o creature_n the_o object_n of_o hatred_n those_o sin_n come_v now_o to_o make_v it_o a_o object_n of_o compassion_n so_o affliction_n that_o before_o be_v part_n of_o the_o curse_n they_o come_v now_o to_o be_v argument_n for_o the_o move_n of_o the_o bowel_n of_o god_n tender_a compassion_n towards_o his_o people_n another_o note_n if_o you_o read_v it_o so_o for_o great_a be_v their_o affliction_n be_v this_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o only_a support_n of_o the_o soul_n obser_n and_o that_o which_o carry_v it_o through_o the_o great_a affliction_n affliction_n be_v as_o lead_v to_o the_o net_n the_o promise_n be_v as_o the_o cork_n the_o promise_n keep_v above_o water_n when_o the_o lead_n pull_v down_o but_o i_o leave_v these_o meditation_n though_o i_o find_v many_o interpreter_n run_v this_o way_n and_o i_o rather_o take_v it_o as_o a_o further_a expression_n of_o god_n wonderful_a mercy_n unto_o his_o church_n for_o great_a shall_v be_v the_o day_n of_o jezreel_n that_o be_v god_n have_v a_o great_a day_n of_o mercy_n for_o jezreel_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n they_o shall_v appoint_v themselves_o one_o head_n they_o shall_v be_v gather_v together_o
