reason_n he_o shall_v be_v the_o fair_a in_o all_o the_o building_n he_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_a he_o shall_v be_v like_o saul_n high_o than_o all_o the_o people_n by_o head_n and_o shoulder_n far_o exalt_v above_o all_o principality_n and_o power_n but_o chief_o it_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o we_o and_o out_o emptiness_n that_o with_o ourselves_o

that_o we_o may_v behold_v it_o nor_o can_v we_o have_v receive_v of_o it_o for_o the_o deity_n be_v a_o inacce_n sible_a fountain_n it_o be_v reason_n therefore_o that_o christ_n humanity_n shall_v be_v the_o cistern_n or_o conduit-head_n to_o receive_v it_o for_o our_o model_n and_o use_n but_o here_o one_o question_n must_v be_v answer_v steven_n and_o other_o q●●st_a saint_n be_v say_v in_o

their_o measure_n answ._n christ_n out_o of_o measure_n as_o a_o little_a dish_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v full_a as_o well_o as_o the_o ocean_n so_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v full_a because_o

he_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a fullness_n without_o all_o limit_n without_o all_o comparison_n what_o shall_v we_o now_o deduce_v hence_o for_o application_n to_o ourselves_o first_o that_o which_o be_v also_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o evangelist_n in_o this_o place_n this_o shall_v invite_v we_o to_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o take_v of_o this_o full_a heap_n this_o incentive_a paul_n

but_o to_o a_o few_o now_o to_o every_o creature_n under_o heaven_n before_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v but_o by_o drop_n but_o now_o he_o that_o have_v ascend_v on_o high_a and_o lead_v captivity_n

without_o practice_n but_o go_v to_o christ_n as_o bee_n to_o a_o meadow_n that_o be_v full_a of_o slower_n as_o merchant_n to_o the_o indies_n that_o have_v full_a mine_n that_o you_o may_v
