when_o they_o think_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o run_v to_o the_o land_n of_o caâ—aan_n no_o but_o there_o be_v great_a death_n in_o the_o way_n they_o must_v go_v through_o a_o

as_o in_o some_o generation_n it_o have_v be_v but_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n may_v appear_v second_o because_o although_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o great_a new_a testament_n

point_n why_o there_o be_v so_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o and_o this_o the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n it_o be_v because_o saint_n be_v no_o more_o in_o assemble_v together_o saint_n be_v not_o find_v as_o i_o may_v say_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o assemble_v together_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o disciple_n and_o apostle_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n do_v give_v they_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o immediate_o at_o his_o resurrection_n he_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n and_o breathe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o they_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o bear_v up_o their_o spirit_n against_o the_o sorrow_n that_o be_v to_o attend_v they_o afterward_o he_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n more_o

christ_n come_v and_o breathe_v on_o they_o say_v receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n where_o you_o have_v the_o more_o full_a give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v when_o the_o saint_n be_v assemble_v together_o act_n 2._o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o chapter_n here_o be_v the_o give_v forth_o of_o the_o

give_v it_o to_o they_o one_o by_o one_o when_o they_o be_v alone_o no_o but_o our_o dear_a lord_n choose_v to_o give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o that_o teach_v we_o how_o much_o he_o love_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o saint_n meeting_n together_o that_o though_o he_o can_v have_v give_v they_o the_o spirit_n to_o every_o one_o in_o a_o corner_n alone_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o he_o choose_v to_o give_v it_o to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o so_o that_o if_o the_o saint_n neglect_v their_o meeting_n together_o there_o may_v be_v little_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o spirit_n though_o it_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n three_o why_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o great_a promise_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n why_o do_v god_n give_v this_o as_o their_o great_a promise_n first_o one_o reason_n of_o it_o may_v be_v this_o because_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n will_v make_v a_o advance_v a_o step_n near_o as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o heavenly_a perfection_n and_o glory_n than_o the_o former_a administration_n be_v god_n all_o along_o have_v be_v make_v a_o advance_v ever_o since_o man_n fall_v god_n have_v be_v make_v a_o advance_v carry_v he_o up_o step_v by_o step_n now_o the_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v forth_o or_o the_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o any_o dispensation_n the_o great_a the_o advance_n be_v for_o its_o the_o spirit_n that_o make_v the_o advance_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n child_n now_o because_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n will_v make_v a_o advance_v he_o will_v raise_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o saint_n near_o to_o heaven_n and_o glory_n than_o they_o be_v before_o therefore_o he_o give_v forth_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o he_o do_v hold_v forth_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a promise_n and_o indeed_o in_o the_o administration_n that_o be_v to_o come_v upon_o this_o account_n in_o that_o of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v less_o but_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v less_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o advance_v there_o shall_v be_v the_o personal_a presence_n of_o christ_n and_o more_o of_o his_o spirit_n too_o if_o we_o do_v look_v upon_o it_o only_o as_o a_o outward_a thing_n than_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v as_o some_o call_v it_o a_o carnal_a thing_n but_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v forth_o in_o that_o day_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o advance_v in_o the_o saint_n upon_o this_o account_n second_o the_o lord_n give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n because_o new_a testament_n saint_n they_o be_v son_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o apostle_n paul_n give_v gal_n 4.6_o because_o you_o be_v son_n god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n the_o father_n expect_v from_o a_o son_n a_o grow_v son_n that_o he_o shall_v carry_v himself_o better_a than_o a_o child_n he_o do_v expect_v from_o his_o son_n that_o he_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o govern_v himself_o and_o to_o order_v thing_n better_o than_o a_o servant_n why_o now_o new_a testament_n saint_n be_v son_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v expect_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o better_a carriage_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o holiness_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o another_o manner_n of_o way_n than_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n now_o to_o the_o end_n that_o saint_n may_v be_v able_a to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o another_o manner_n of_o way_n its_o needful_a they_o shall_v have_v more_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n give_v forth_o to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v it_o god_n give_v forth_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n because_o you_o be_v son_n therefore_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n therefore_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n three_o because_o god_n do_v expect_v more_o work_n from_o new_a testament_n saint_n this_n follow_v we_o upon_o the_o
how_o much_o more_o shall_v your_o heavenly_a father_n give_v his_o spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o three_o man_n undervalue_n the_o spirit_n when_o they_o will_v set-up_a any_o thing_n equal_a

these_o thing_n be_v good_a in_o their_o place_n and_o the_o best_a part_n of_o pure_a nature_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n and_o if_o we_o go_v to_o set_v up_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n with_o the_o spirit_n we_o do_v exceed_o undervalue_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n be_v cast_v contempt_n upon_o learning_n and_o part_n in_o our_o day_n it_o be_v because_o man_n set_v they_o up_o equal_a with_o the_o spirit_n look_v upon_o these_o thing_n as_o fit_v they_o for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o not_o look_v for_o the_o spirit_n four_o man_n

hang_v about_o his_o neck_n and_o that_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n why_o because_o there_o be_v a_o despise_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n that_o dwell_v in_o they_o every_o poor_a little_a and_o contemptible_a one_o of_o christ_n though_o never_o so_o poor_a in_o the_o world_n we_o must_v love_v they_o for_o if_o i_o desire_v to_o prize_v a_o saint_n because_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o he_o than_o i_o shall_v prize_v the_o mean_a saint_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a five_o man_n undervalue_n the_o spirit_n when_o they_o stop_v their_o ear_n
