further_a question_n and_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o let_v i_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n first_o one_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o of_o his_o perfection_n there_o shall_v nothing_o be_v want_v in_o

of_o righteousness_n the_o righteous_a sun_n the_o absolute_o perfect_a sun_n and_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o this_o sun_n there_o be_v no_o spot_n no_o wrinkle_n no_o darkness_n no_o deficiency_n of_o glory_n of_o light_n of_o heat_n of_o influence_n of_o pain_n in_o wheel_v about_o his_o church_n continual_o for_o their_o supply_n and_o refresh_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o second_o because_o in_o he_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v eminent_o conspicuous_a therefore_o he_o may_v be_v call_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n some_o imperfect_a footstep_n of_o righteousness_n there_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n of_o holiness_n and_o conformity_n to_o god_n some_o lineament_n of_o his_o image_n but_o very_o naked_a they_o want_v their_o fill_n up_o and_o garnish_v with_o colour_n and_o will_v do_v while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o there_o be_v so_o many_o blot_n and_o blur_n and_o stain_n that_o it_o scarce_o appear_v many_o time_n witness_v the_o choice_a

any_o so_o much_o as_o his_o deal_n with_o christ_n though_o a_o son_n and_o equal_a with_o he_o in_o all_o essential_a glory_n yet_o if_o he_o will_v be_v surety_n for_o poor_a sinner_n he_o must_v
