thing_n of_o the_o world_n those_o man_n that_o have_v the_o dull_a capacity_n to_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o ignorant_a people_n in_o the_o world_n why_o jesus_n christ_n choose_v out_o they_o and_o make_v they_o to_o be_v apprehensive_a of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n such_o thing_n as_o angel_n themselves_o desire_v to_o pry_v into_o 1.12_o 1_o pet._n 1.12_o here_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o such_o poor_a weak_a dull_a ignorant_a creature_n sometime_o that_o can_v scarce_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v two_o or_o three_o sentence_n in_o good_a sense_n together_o to_o a_o man_n yet_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o clear_a understanding_n of_o the_o chief_a mystery_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o angel_n desire_v to_o pry_v into_o here_o be_v a_o wonderful_a work_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v in_o matth._n 21.15_o when_o the_o poor_a child_n come_v to_o understand_v somewhat_o of_o christ_n when_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o scribe_n see_v the_o wondeful_a thing_n that_o he_o do_v and_o the_o child_n cry_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o say_n hosanna_n to_o the_o son_n of_o david_n ☞_o ☞_o they_o be_v sore_o displease_v mark_v how_o this_o be_v join_v to_o the_o wonderful_a thing_n they_o see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o christ_n do_v and_o the_o child_n cry_v in_o the_o temple_n hosanna_n to_o the_o son_n of_o david_n they_o be_v displease_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o wonderful_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o see_v that_o sometime_o poor_a young_a child_n and_o such_o as_o understand_v but_o very_o little_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o that_o these_o shall_v come_v to_o understand_v the_o deep_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n those_o thing_n that_o exercise_v the_o understanding_n of_o angel_n and_o shall_v exercise_v they_o to_o all_o eternity_n yet_o poor_a child_n and_o youth_n shall_v come_v to_o understand_v these_o thing_n further_o than_o the_o great_a rabbi_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o this_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o christ_n you_o make_v this_o use_n when_o you_o see_v poor_a youth_n come_v to_o have_v understanding_n in_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o think_v sure_o it_o be_v but_o a_o conceit_n oh_o but_o rather_o make_v this_o use_n let_v your_o thought_n be_v carry_v to_o admire_v at_o the_o wonderful_a dispensation_n of_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o in_o matth._n 11.25_o 27._o you_o shall_v see_v what_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n it_o be_v make_v even_o this_o dispensation_n of_o christ_n prophetical_a office_n in_o vers_fw-la 25._o and_o so_o on_o at_o that_o time_n jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v i_o thank_v thou_o 0_o father_n lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n because_o thou_o have_v hide_v these_o thing_n from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o have_v reveal_v they_o unto_o babe_n now_o that_o the_o father_n do_v hide_v they_o from_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o world_n and_o reveal_v they_o unto_o babe_n it_o be_v by_o christ_n though_o he_o thank_v the_o father_n and_o that_o it_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n it_o appear_v in_o vers_fw-la 27._o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o of_o my_o father_n and_o no_o man_n know_v the_o son_n but_o the_o father_n neither_o know_v any_o man_n the_o father_n save_o the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o who_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o so_o that_o christ_n here_o make_v the_o revelation_n of_o god_n unto_o babe_n to_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n deliver_v up_o all_o thing_n to_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o and_o no_o man_n know_v the_o father_n but_o the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o who_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o so_o that_o christ_n have_v receive_v all_o power_n from_o the_o father_n upon_o this_o it_o be_v that_o these_o babe_n come_v to_o have_v such_o understanding_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o world_n never_o come_v to_o understand_v and_o then_o that_o be_v very_o remarkable_a as_o we_o go_v along_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n jesus_n christ_n do_v invite_v soul_n to_o come_v to_o he_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o rest_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thus_o conceive_v now_o as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v preach_v now_o personal_o to_o you_o and_o he_o be_v say_v thus_o to_o you_o all_o power_n be_v commit_v to_o i_o by_o the_o father_n and_o as_o a_o fruit_n of_o this_o that_o the_o father_n have_v commit_v to_o i_o i_o do_v reveal_v he_o to_o who_o i_o please_v and_o none_o can_v know_v the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o i_o have_v the_o dispensation_n of_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o revelation_n of_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o eternal_a life_n from_o my_o father_n oh_o therefore_o come_v to_o i_o come_v to_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v you_o labour_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o your_o ignorance_n perhaps_o you_o complain_v alas_o i_o do_v not_o know_v god_n nor_o understand_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n i_o pray_v and_o hear_v and_o yet_o i_o can_v come_v to_o understand_v what_o god_n be_v why_o come_v to_o i_o say_v christ_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v to_o i_o and_o if_o i_o reveal_v the_o father_n you_o shall_v know_v he_o therefore_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v all_o you_o that_o see_v the_o need_n you_o have_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o my_o father_n and_o of_o the_o way_n of_o eternal_a life_n come_v to_o i_o and_o i_o will_v reveal_v these_o thing_n unto_o you_o and_o so_o will_v bring_v rest_n unto_o your_o soul_n wonderful_n be_v christ_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o administration_n and_o that_o be_v another_o consideration_n in_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o christ_n 5_o but_o further_o christ_n be_v a_o wonderful_a prophet_n in_o this_o that_o he_o reveal_v thing_n many_o time_n sudden_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o those_o way_n that_o any_o man_n or_o angel_n be_v bind_v to_o if_o a_o man_n or_o angel_n will_v come_v to_o instruct_v other_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o must_v instruct_v they_o by_o degree_n to_o understand_v one_o thing_n at_o once_o and_o another_o at_o another_o time_n and_o so_o deduct_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o in_o that_o way_n but_o christ_n he_o can_v make_v know_v the_o thing_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o a_o instant_n to_o the_o soul_n whosoever_o come_v to_o christ_n must_v be_v convince_v of_o sin_n and_o be_v empty_v of_o himself_o and_o be_v humble_v all_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o every_o soul_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n now_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v by_o one_o beam_n of_o light_n be_v wrought_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v let_v into_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o apothecary_n may_v get_v the_o very_a quintessence_n of_o all_o herb_n in_o one_o drop_n though_o you_o can_v see_v the_o herb_n so_o jesus_n christ_n i_o say_v sometime_o by_o one_o beam_n of_o light_n let_v in_o a_o hundred_o truth_n into_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o they_o do_v apprehend_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o those_o particular_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o and_o there_o be_v a_o proportionable_a work_n upon_o their_o heart_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n be_v not_o this_o a_o wonderful_a work_n of_o christ_n that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v a_o ignorant_a sottish_a blind_a creature_n a_o profane_a ungodly_a man_n hate_v all_o godliness_n perhaps_o he_o come_v to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n mere_o to_o scorn_v as_o many_o have_v do_v this_o man_n come_v in_o the_o very_a heat_n of_o his_o wickedness_n so_o that_o a_o man_n will_v wonder_v that_o some_o fruit_n of_o god_n wrath_n come_v not_o from_o heaven_n to_o strike_v he_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v at_o this_o very_a sermon_n there_o shall_v be_v some_o one_o beam_n of_o light_n dart_v into_o his_o spirit_n that_o may_v work_v his_o soul_n to_o heaven_n possible_o if_o he_o shall_v die_v at_o that_o instant_n though_o it_o be_v true_a ordinary_o god_n begin_v to_o stir_v first_o and_o do_v it_o not_o all_o at_o once_o but_o yet_o sometime_o some_o that_o come_v into_o a_o congregation_n most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v no_o other_o god_n but_o mammon_n and_o lust_n and_o yet_o come_v to_o the_o word_n at_o one_o instant_a god_n dart_v in_o that_o light_n into_o his_o spirit_n as_o this_o man_n come_v to_o have_v his_o heart_n turn_v to_o god_n and_o come_v to_o know_v his_o misery_n and_o to_o know_v the_o way_n of_o
be_v wonderful_a in_o all_o they_o and_o all_o those_o that_o do_v know_v what_o these_o thing_n mean_v they_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n wonderful_o in_o they_o three_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v wonderful_a in_o christ_n in_o that_o all_o the_o good_a and_o mercy_n that_o be_v in_o order_n to_o eternal_a life_n that_o god_n communicate_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n it_o be_v through_o christ_n now_o we_o mention_v somewhat_o like_a to_o this_o in_o the_o former_a when_o we_o show_v christ_n endowment_n that_o from_o he_o we_o have_v all_o excellency_n but_o now_o i_o only_o mention_v it_o to_o show_v how_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v in_o he_o because_o that_o god_n have_v appoint_v he_o for_o the_o communication_n of_o all_o the_o good_a that_o he_o do_v intend_v towards_o the_o child_n of_o man_n in_o order_n to_o eternal_a life_n now_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v eminent_a in_o he_o this_o way_n for_o god_n account_v it_o a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o communicate_v himself_o to_o his_o creature_n therefore_o that_o through_o which_o he_o do_v communicate_v himself_o must_v needs_o be_v partaker_n of_o abundance_n of_o glory_n god_n have_v honour_v christ_n in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v he_o to_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o conveyance_n of_o all_o save_a good_a to_o all_o the_o elect._n now_o suppose_v there_o be_v a_o glass_n that_o all_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o ever_o can_v shine_v upon_o the_o world_n be_v contract_v in_o it_o and_o no_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v shine_v upon_o the_o world_n but_o through_o that_o glass_n first_o it_o must_v come_v upon_o the_o glass_n and_o shine_v through_o it_o and_o so_o shine_v upon_o the_o world_n sure_o this_o glass_n will_v be_v very_o glorious_a you_o may_v conceive_v of_o christ_n thus_o conceive_v of_o god_n the_o father_n as_o the_o sun_n and_o of_o all_o his_o elect_a one_o as_o the_o world_n and_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o glass_n between_o the_o father_n and_o all_o the_o elect_n now_o all_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n that_o ever_o shall_v come_v from_o god_n upon_o all_o his_o elect_a one_o they_o all_o come_v through_o this_o glass_n through_o jesus_n christ_n oh_o how_o glorious_a be_v jesus_n christ_n how_o wonderful_a be_v he_o then_o in_o that_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n four_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n be_v wonderful_a in_o he_o in_o this_o that_o god_n the_o father_n attain_v unto_o his_o great_a design_n the_o great_a design_n that_o god_n have_v in_o make_v of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o preserve_n of_o the_o world_n i_o say_v god_n attain_v unto_o it_o by_o his_o son_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o design_n will_v be_v lose_v if_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o bring_v thing_n about_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n god_n have_v make_v a_o world_n for_o his_o glory_n and_o he_o preserve_v a_o world_n for_o his_o glory_n but_o the_o main_a design_n that_o god_n have_v in_o make_v the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o have_v in_o preserve_v the_o world_n it_o be_v to_o fetch_v about_o a_o great_a design_n that_o he_o have_v only_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o father_n be_v so_o well_o please_v in_o his_o son_n because_o that_o by_o he_o he_o come_v to_o attain_v the_o great_a design_n that_o he_o have_v in_o make_v the_o world_n quest_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v that_o answ_n truth_n it_o be_v we_o understand_v but_o little_a of_o it_o for_o the_o present_a but_o we_o know_v in_o the_o general_a it_o be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o elect_a one_o eternal_o with_o himself_o to_o behold_v his_o face_n and_o magnify_v he_o together_o with_o angel_n for_o his_o mercy_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v the_o great_a design_n that_o god_n have_v other_o man_n have_v great_a design_n in_o their_o head_n but_o the_o great_a design_n that_o god_n have_v of_o all_o it_o be_v to_o fetch_v about_o his_o honour_n in_o his_o son_n and_o to_o glorify_v himself_o in_o his_o elect_a one_o to_o all_o eternity_n that_o be_v the_o great_a design_n for_o which_o he_o make_v the_o world_n without_o which_o he_o will_v never_o have_v make_v it_o and_o god_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v be_v well_o enough_o satisfy_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o the_o dishonour_n that_o be_v do_v to_o he_o in_o this_o wicked_a corrupt_a world_n with_o this_o consideration_n well_o but_o my_o son_n do_v drive_v on_o my_o design_n and_o this_o please_v i_o no_o matter_n though_o i_o be_v dishonour_v though_o my_o name_n be_v never_o so_o much_o blaspheme_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o my_o son_n carry_v on_o my_o great_a design_n and_o the_o glory_n i_o foresee_v i_o shall_v have_v in_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o that_o great_a design_n of_o i_o it_o do_v so_o please_v i_o that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n to_o i_o what_o wicked_a man_n that_o belong_v not_o to_o my_o election_n do_v christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o this_o that_o he_o carry_v on_o the_o great_a design_n that_o god_n have_v from_o all_o eternity_n in_o make_v the_o world_n and_o then_o last_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v great_a in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o wonderful_a because_o it_o be_v through_o he_o that_o all_o the_o service_n and_o praise_n that_o god_n have_v from_o his_o elect_a one_o do_v all_o come_v through_o he_o as_o there_o be_v a_o reflection_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o descend_v of_o it_o when_o it_o do_v descend_v upon_o the_o elect_a through_o christ_n so_o in_o the_o ascend_n of_o it_o again_o from_o believer_n it_o do_v ascend_v through_o christ_n there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o necessity_n that_o when_o we_o tender_v up_o any_o honour_n to_o god_n that_o it_o shall_v come_v through_o christ_n as_o when_o god_n let_v down_o any_o beam_n of_o his_o glory_n that_o that_o shall_v come_v through_o christ_n christ_n be_v as_o jacob_n ladder_n for_o god_n to_o come_v down_o as_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n to_o we_o and_o for_o we_o to_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n through_o he_o eph._n 3._o last_o unto_o he_o be_v glory_n in_o the_o church_n by_o christ_n jesus_n thoughout_n all_o age_n world_n without_o end_n unto_o he_o be_v glory_n in_o the_o church_n but_o how_o by_o christ_n jesus_n except_o the_o glory_n that_o you_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n go_v through_o christ_n god_n account_v not_o himself_o glorify_v in_o it_o for_o whatsoever_o come_v from_o god_n to_o you_o except_o it_o come_v through_o christ_n it_o will_v be_v to_o little_a purpose_n so_o whatsoever_o come_v from_o you_o unto_o god_n except_o it_o come_v through_o his_o son_n it_o be_v not_o accept_v of_o god_n therefore_o oh_o how_o wonderful_a be_v christ_n in_o this_o that_o such_o glory_n of_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n do_v shine_v in_o he_o the_o great_a counsel_n and_o work_v of_o god_n about_o man_n eternal_a estate_n be_v all_o in_o he_o and_o all_o the_o good_a that_o god_n communicate_v to_o his_o elect_a one_o all_o be_v through_o he_o and_o the_o great_a design_n that_o god_n have_v from_o all_o eternity_n he_o do_v attain_v it_o by_o his_o son_n last_o all_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o have_v from_o all_o his_o elect_a one_o it_o be_v through_o his_o son_n how_o wonderful_a be_v christ_n then_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n in_o he_o only_o as_o we_o go_v along_o remember_v that_o when_o we_o set_v christ_n thus_o before_o you_o we_o do_v it_o not_o mere_o to_o your_o understanding_n that_o you_o may_v conceive_v thus_o of_o christ_n but_o as_o a_o object_n of_o your_o faith_n you_o must_v exercise_v your_o faith_n upon_o christ_n as_o such_o a_o christ_n in_o who_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n do_v so_o much_o appear_v christ_n wonderful_a in_o his_o humiliation_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o

as_o first_o the_o wonder_n of_o his_o humiliation_n be_v in_o this_o that_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o shall_v have_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a

thing_n as_o shall_v be_v call_v god-man_n and_o be_v real_o and_o very_o god_n and_o man_n together_o in_o one_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o great_a wonder_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n

of_o god_n that_o search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n as_o you_o have_v it_o before_o reveal_v it_o unto_o a_o man_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n ever_o to_o have_v such_o a_o thought_n as_o this_o be_v and_o indeed_o the_o set_v out_o of_o this_o so_o great_a a_o mystery_n be_v one_o great_a argument_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v divine_a for_o it_o be_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n to_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o creature_n i_o say_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n that_o ever_o a_o creature_n shall_v have_v such_o a_o thought_n that_o the_o save_n of_o man_n must_v

incline_v to_o do_v good_a to_o you_o and_o willing_a to_o save_v you_o but_o know_v your_o estate_n be_v such_o as_o you_o can_v never_o be_v save_v except_o there_o be_v such_o a_o saviour_n such_o a_o mediator_n for_o you_o as_o must_v be_v god_n and_o man_n both_o why_o certain_o both_o angel_n and_o man_n will_v have_v stand_v amaze_v at_o this_o and_o have_v conclude_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o mankind_n be_v desperate_a then_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o man_n that_o be_v fall_v from_o god_n and_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o be_v such_o as_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o

have_v even_o conclude_v than_o man_n must_v perish_v for_o ever_o but_o it_o be_v god_n the_o wonder-working_a god_n that_o have_v wrought_v thus_o for_o mankind_n which_o have_v send_v we_o such_o a_o saviour_n as_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n sure_o then_o his_o name_n may_v be_v call_v wonderful_a christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o person_n but_o second_o here_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n than_o that_o god_n be_v god_n and_o man_n god_n and_o man_n you_o will_v say_v that_o may_v be_v he_o have_v come_v in_o the_o similitude_n of_o flesh_n and_o have_v take_v the_o shape_n of_o man_n some_o kind_n of_o union_n there_o may_v be_v between_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n but_o consider_v this_o second_o wonder_n he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n but_o a_o second_o person_n in_o

trinity_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n for_o it_o be_v little_o know_v before_o we_o read_v but_o little_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n about_o the_o trinity_n only_o in_o christ_n the_o trinity_n come_v to_o be_v know_v when_o we_o be_v in_o strait_n we_o will_v cry_v to_o god_n that_o make_v the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o be_v a_o saviour_n but_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o must_v be_v save_v by_o god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n that_o be_v the_o character_n and_o engrave_v form_n of_o his_o image_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o so_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n equal_a with_o his_o father_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v and_o so_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n as_o yet_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o his_o father_n be_v of_o the_o same_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n that_o appear_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a wonder_n above_o reason_n that_o we_o may_v adore_v it_o but_o search_v into_o it_o we_o be_v not_o able_a and_o then_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o his_o person_n be_v this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n and_o man_n but_o god_n and_o man_n hypostatical_o unite_v the_o union_n of_o the_o nature_n that_o these_o nature_n shall_v be_v unite_v both_o in_o one_o person_n this_o be_v the_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n there_o be_v two_o principal_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v aright_o of_o they_o the_o first_o be_v divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n religion_n 2_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n the_o second_o be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n these_o be_v the_o two_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n first_o divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n and_o that_o be_v the_o wonder_n of_o the_o trinity_n for_o there_o you_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n but_o three_o person_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o the_o heathen_n know_v nothing_o of_o and_o be_v little_o know_v till_o christ_n come_v and_o the_o second_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n christ_n be_v god-man_n but_o one_o person_n unite_v hypostatical_o now_o to_o search_v into_o this_o that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v god_n be_v man_n and_o how_o the_o humane_a nature_n subsist_v in_o the_o deity_n and_o have_v no_o subsistence_n at_o all_o in_o its_o self_n but_o in_o the_o deity_n how_o this_o be_v only_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o how_o it_o be_v i_o say_v be_v too_o deep_a a_o sea_n for_o any_o creature_n to_o wade_v into_o we_o must_v stand_v and_o admire_v it_o and_o adore_v god_n in_o it_o that_o have_v reveal_v this_o as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o to_o be_v

one_o of_o the_o most_o wonderful_a work_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v in_o the_o world_n to_o unite_v two_o such_o creature_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o such_o distant_a nature_n as_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o one_o person_n to_o unite_v a_o piece_n of_o earth_n and_o a_o piece_n of_o flesh_n to_o such_o a_o glorious_a thing_n as_o a_o rational_a immortal_a

the_o lord_n shall_v look_v upon_o base_a man_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v thought_n to_o save_v he_o that_o be_v nothing_o but_o when_o god_n see_v that_o if_o he_o be_v save_v he_o must_v be_v
