a_o people_n by_o terrible_a thing_n here_o i_o shall_v show_v 1._o how_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o speak_v 2._o what_o those_o terrible_a thing_n be_v by_o which_o god_n do_v sometime_o speak_v 3._o why_o god_n do_v sometime_o speak_v unto_o a_o people_n by_o terrible_a thing_n and_o then_o apply_v 1._o how_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o speak_v god_n be_v a_o spirit_n have_v no_o mouth_n nor_o tongue_n proper_o as_o man_n have_v who_o have_v body_n and_o therefore_o his_o way_n of_o speak_v be_v not_o like_o we_o though_o sometime_o he_o have_v create_v a_o voice_n in_o as_o articulate_v sound_a as_o if_o it_o have_v proceed_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n to_o declare_v his_o will_n but_o there_o be_v several_a way_n in_o which_o god_n have_v speak_v and_o do_v speak_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n by_o which_o he_o do_v as_o real_o and_o effectual_o make_v know_v his_o mind_n as_o if_o he_o speak_v with_o man_n voice_n 1._o god_n have_v speak_v former_o unto_o man_n immediate_o in_o extraordinary_a way_n and_o that_o sometime_o more_o terrible_o as_o when_o he_o give_v the_o law_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n when_o the_o mount_v burn_v with_o fire_n and_o there_o be_v blackness_n and_o darkness_n and_o tempest_n thundering_n and_o lightning_n and_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n exceed_v loud_a and_o the_o voice_n of_o word_n so_o exceed_o terrible_a that_o it_o make_v the_o whole_a camp_n to_o tremble_v and_o moses_n himself_o say_v i_o exceed_o fear_v and_o quake_v exod._n 19_o 16._o heb._n 12._o 18_o 19_o 20_o 21._o this_o way_n of_o god_n speak_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v therefore_o they_o desire_v that_o moses_n may_v speak_v unto_o they_o but_o that_o god_n will_v not_o speak_v unto_o they_o thus_o any_o more_o lest_o they_o shall_v die_v exod._n 20._o 19_o at_o other_o time_n god_n speak_v with_o a_o more_o still_a and_o gentle_a voice_n and_o in_o a_o more_o mild_a way_n as_o when_o he_o speak_v to_o samuel_n in_o the_o night_n he_o think_v at_o first_o that_o it_o have_v be_v the_o voice_n of_o eli_n 1_o sam._n 3._o 4_o 5._o thus_o god_n speak_v unto_o abraham_n unto_o jacob_n unto_o moses_n to_o who_o it_o be_v say_v he_o speak_v face_n to_o face_n as_o a_o man_n speak_v to_o his_o friend_n exod._n 33._o 11._o god_n speak_v also_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n to_o his_o prophet_n of_o old_a when_o he_o make_v know_v unto_o they_o his_o counsel_n that_o they_o may_v declare_v it_o unto_o the_o people_n sometime_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o with_o a_o audible_a voice_n which_o he_o create_v when_o no_o shape_n be_v see_v sometime_o by_o angel_n who_o appear_v in_o body_n which_o they_o lay_v down_o again_o when_o they_o have_v deliver_v their_o message_n sometime_o by_o dream_n and_o vision_n in_o the_o night_n sometime_o by_o urim_n and_o thummim_n sometime_o by_o more_o secret_a inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o last_o day_n of_o god_n extraordinary_a speak_v he_o speak_v by_o the_o most_o extraordinary_a person_n namely_o by_o his_o own_o most_o dear_o belove_v and_o only_o beget_v son_n heb._n 1._o 1_o 2._o who_o he_o send_v out_o of_o his_o bosom_n to_o declare_v himself_o joh._n 1._o 18._o and_o reveal_v what_o he_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o father_n joh._n 15._o 15._o who_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o make_v know_v god_n purpose_n and_o grace_n in_o man_n salvation_n 2_o tim._n 1._o 9_o 10._o and_o utter_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v keep_v secret_a from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n mat._n 13._o 35._o the_o gospel_n begin_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o and_o be_v continue_v and_o confirm_v by_o his_o apostle_n who_o be_v his_o witness_n to_o who_o god_n also_o do_v bear_v witness_n with_o sign_n and_o wonder_n and_o divers_a miracle_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o his_o will_n heb._n 2._o 3_o 4._o 2._o and_o now_o though_o not_o so_o immediate_o and_o in_o such_o extraordinary_a way_n yet_o still_o god_n do_v speak_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n there_o be_v two_o way_n of_o god_n speak_v now_o unto_o man_n namely_o his_o word_n and_o his_o work_n 1._o his_o word_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n which_o holy_a man_n write_v as_o they_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2_o pet._n 1._o 21._o and_o thus_o god_n speak_v either_o external_o by_o his_o word_n alone_o or_o internal_o with_o his_o word_n by_o his_o spirit_n 1._o god_n speak_v now_o unto_o man_n external_o by_o his_o word_n alone_o to_o some_o more_o silent_o unto_o who_o he_o give_v his_o scripture_n only_o to_o be_v read_v and_o bring_v to_o their_o view_n his_o write_a word_n alone_o without_o the_o advantage_n of_o other_o ordinance_n which_o may_v more_o powerful_o declare_v unto_o they_o his_o will_n unto_o other_o he_o speak_v more_o audible_o where_o the_o gospel_n do_v sound_a in_o their_o ear_n and_o wiâ—h_v the_o scripture_n god_n send_v his_o minister_n to_o preach_v unto_o they_o god_n speak_v by_o his_o minister_n who_o be_v his_o watchman_n in_o his_o name_n to_o warn_v the_o people_n of_o his_o judgement_n temporal_a and_o eternal_a which_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o have_v threaten_v ezek._n 3_o 17_o 18_o etc._n etc._n isa._n 63._o 6._o who_o be_v the_o lord_n ambassador_n 2_o cor._n 5._o 20._o from_o who_o they_o have_v a_o commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o declare_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n unto_o all_o such_o as_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o yield_v up_o themselves_o unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o word_n minister_n stand_v in_o the_o room_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v well_o for_o we_o that_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o by_o minister_n because_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v shall_v he_o speak_v unto_o we_o immediate_o by_o himself_o shall_v he_o speak_v unto_o we_o with_o a_o audible_a voice_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n on_o mount_n sinai_n when_o he_o give_v the_o law_n this_o will_v be_v so_o terrible_a that_o with_o they_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o heat_n moses_n and_o choose_v minister_n rather_o to_o speak_v unto_o we_o yea_o if_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n however_o he_o may_v have_v be_v hear_v in_o his_o state_n of_o humiliation_n when_o his_o deity_n be_v so_o much_o veil_v yet_o if_o he_o shall_v now_o appear_v in_o the_o glory_n he_o have_v with_o the_o father_n or_o as_o he_o appear_v unto_o john_n his_o belove_a disciple_n when_o his_o eye_n be_v as_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n and_o his_o countenance_n like_o the_o sun_n when_o it_o shine_v in_o its_o full_a strength_n and_o his_o voice_n like_o the_o sound_n of_o many_o water_n i_o say_v if_o christ_n shall_v thus_o appear_v and_o preach_v unto_o we_o such_o a_o dread_n and_o amazement_n will_v fall_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v fall_v down_o dead_a at_o his_o foot_n as_o his_o disciple_n john_n do_v rev._n 1._o 13_o 14_o 15_o 16_o 17._o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a for_o we_o in_o this_o state_n of_o weakness_n that_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o by_o minister_n man_n of_o like_a passion_n and_o infirmity_n with_o ourselves_o who_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v and_o who_o word_n notwithstanding_o our_o weakness_n we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o hear_v 2._o god_n do_v now_o also_o speak_v unto_o man_n internal_o with_o his_o word_n by_o his_o spirit_n when_o god_n send_v his_o spirit_n with_o his_o word_n for_o conviction_n only_o or_o some_o common_a work_n thus_o god_n call_v upon_o the_o wicked_a who_o sit_v under_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n move_v and_o strive_v with_o they_o by_o his_o spirit_n but_o they_o resist_v the_o spirit_n stifle_v conviction_n &_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o his_o call_n and_o motion_n gen._n 6._o 3._o act._n 7._o 51._o but_o especial_o god_n speak_v with_o his_o word_n by_o his_o spirit_n when_o he_o send_v his_o spirit_n for_o conversion_n and_o to_o effect_v a_o save_a change_n thus_o god_n speak_v when_o he_o call_v blind_a sinner_n out_o of_o darkness_n into_o his_o marvellous_a light_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 9_o quicken_v dead_a sinner_n put_v into_o they_o a_o new_a principle_n of_o spiritual_a life_n eph._n 2._o 1._o rescue_v enslave_v sinner_n out_o
