and_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v from_o the_o father_n himself_o touch_v the_o son_n and_o they_o that_o see_v christ_n by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o at_o all_o offend_v at_o he_o when_o all_o other_o man_n be_v for_o such_o do_v clear_o see_v christ_n power_n in_o his_o weakness_n his_o glory_n in_o his_o reproach_n his_o exaltation_n in_o his_o abasement_n his_o divine_a

not_o only_o by_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o word_n but_o also_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o father_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o so_o they_o can_v be_v offend_v at_o christ_n who_o see_v he_o thus_o wherefore_o when_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a church_n have_v many_o several_a opinion_n of_o christ_n and_o peter_n notwithstanding_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o

all_o other_o man_n be_v have_v for_o certain_a the_o father_n teach_v and_o see_v christ_n far_o otherwise_o then_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a church_n do_v he_o see_v christ_n in_o all_o his_o

suffering_n from_o the_o world_n but_o we_o rather_o behold_v these_o thing_n with_o the_o great_a wonder_n and_o comfort_n see_v for_o our_o sake_n he_o humble_v himself_o from_o the_o form_n of_o god_n to_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o in_o that_o form_n to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n 2._o they_o be_v bless_v because_o through_o this_o revelation_n of_o the_o father_n they_o have_v true_a faith_n in_o christ_n wrought_v in_o they_o for_o true_a faith_n 2._o through_o this_o revelation_n have_v true_a faith_n faith_n in_o christ_n do_v necessary_o follow_v the_o father_n revelation_n and_o when_o god_n teach_v we_o christ_n we_o must_v needs_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o through_o this_o faith_n we_o know_v he_o by_o experience_n and_o he_o that_o know_v christ_n through_o the_o experience_n of_o faith_n find_v and_o feel_v christ_n to_o be_v all_o that_o to_o he_o which_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o he_o he_o through_o this_o faith_n feel_v christ_n to_o be_v make_v unto_o he_o of_o god_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n and_o all_o thing_n and_o christ_n be_v through_o faith_n make_v all_o that_o to_o he_o which_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a he_o shall_v be_v offend_v at_o he_o far_o through_o this_o experience_n of_o faith_n christ_n become_v precious_a to_o he_o as_o peter_n say_v 1_o pet._n 2._o 7._o to_o you_o who_o believe_v he_o be_v precious_a that_o very_a christ_n which_o to_o other_o be_v a_o stone_n of_o stumble_v and_o a_o rock_n of_o offence_n be_v precious_a to_o they_o who_o have_v faith_n and_o know_v he_o by_o experience_n so_o precious_a that_o they_o esteem_v all_o the_o great_a and_o most_o excellent_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o dross_n and_o dung_n in_o

in_o themselves_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v part_v with_o this_o infinite_o more_o precious_a christ_n 3._o they_o be_v bless_v in_o that_o through_o this_o faith_n they_o have_v establishment_n
