exhortation_n of_o the_o chapter_n be_v that_o his_o disciple_n shall_v abide_v in_o that_o union_n with_o he_o and_o he_o with_o they_o we_o have_v sundry_a argument_n of_o this_o purpose_n the_o first_o except_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o and_o in_o that_o union_n with_o i_o you_o can_v bring_v forth_o no_o fruit_n nor_o do_v no_o good_a in_o this_o world_n the_o second_o be_v that_o if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o you_o you_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o good_a work_n the_o three_o if_o a_o man_n abide_v not_o in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o he_o shall_v be_v casten_z out_o of_o the_o church_fw-mi and_o once_o be_v casten_z out_o he_o shall_v wither_v for_o out_o of_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o sap_n of_o life_n and_o then_o be_v dry_v up_o he_o shall_v be_v gather_v up_o like_o a_o dry_a stick_n and_z casten_z into_o the_o fire_n to_o burn_v so_o the_o argument_n in_o this_o he_o who_o can_v abide_v in_o christ_n he_o shall_v be_v casten_z into_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n these_o argument_n we_o have_v hear_v now_o in_o this_o text_n the_o lord_n go_v forward_o in_o the_o argument_n and_o first_o he_o give_v the_o four_o reason_n wherefore_o they_o shall_v abide_v in_o he_o then_o he_o pass_v to_o other_o exhortation_n then_o the_o four_o and_o last_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o and_o my_o word_n in_o you_o than_o what_o ever_o you_o ask_v or_o seek_v you_o shall_v have_v it_o note_v the_o word_n if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o and_o my_o word_n in_o you_o before_o he_o say_v if_o i_o abide_v in_o you_o but_o all_o be_v alike_o the_o lord_n jesus_n abide_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o word_n and_o by_o faith_n so_o all_o be_v alike_o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o argument_n what_o ever_o shall_v be_v your_o desire_n ask_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o that_o be_v if_o you_o abide_v in_o i_o all_o your_o petition_n shall_v be_v grant_v this_o argument_n be_v very_o allure_a to_o tell_v a_o man_n what_o ever_o he_o desire_v he_o shall_v have_v before_o he_o threaten_v now_o he_o allure_v you_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n temper_v his_o argument_n but_o brethren_n mark_v this_o in_o respect_n of_o who_o be_v this_o argument_n allure_a and_o who_o move_v it_o not_o every_o one_o tell_v this_o to_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n who_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o their_o need_n they_o will_v answer_v when_o they_o hear_v this_o we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o ask_v tell_v this_o to_o a_o senseless_a sinner_n he_o will_v answer_v he_o have_v no_o need_n what_o need_n have_v the_o whole_a of_o the_o physician_n but_o tell_v it_o to_o they_o who_o have_v feel_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n and_o who_o have_v feel_v their_o want_n and_o know_v they_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o stranger_n from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v the_o joyful_a and_o sweet_a hear_v that_o ever_o they_o hear_v he_o will_v be_v move_v when_o he_o hear_v this_o sweet_a promise_n then_o when_o we_o come_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n let_v we_o prepare_v ourselves_o this_o way_n and_o say_v i_o be_o void_a of_o all_o grace_n therefore_o i_o will_v go_v hear_v these_o fair_a promise_n of_o grace_n now_o the_o thing_n i_o mark_v here_o you_o see_v how_o a_o sinner_n get_v grace_n and_o you_o see_v by_o what_o degree_n he_o come_v to_o grace_v the_o first_o

for_o it_o have_v ever_o sadness_n for_o who_o want_v these_o earthly_a thing_n but_o they_o will_v be_v sad_a so_o the_o want_n of_o these_o heavenly_a thing_n have_v a_o sadness_n with_o it_o paul_n

they_o get_v joy_n enough_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o wicked_a and_o the_o ungodly_a who_o never_o taste_v how_o sweet_a the_o lord_n be_v never_o rejoice_v but_o when_o they_o want_v
