to_o beware_v of_o unequal_a yoke_a themselves_o with_o unbeliever_n and_o he_o give_v a_o double_a argument_n for_o it_o one_o from_o the_o unequalnes_n of_o it_o the_o other_o from_o the_o promise_n as_o in_o my_o text_n have_v these_o promise_n in_o these_o word_n be_v three_o part_n first_o a_o love_a appellation_n in_o these_o word_n have_v these_o promise_n dear_o belove_v a_o gracious_a

that_o he_o use_v to_o press_v his_o exhortation_n which_o be_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o division_n be_v first_o in_o order_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v look_v upon_o the_o word_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n and_o so_o from_o the_o last_o part_n and_o first_o word_n i_o shall_v handle_v this_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o god_n make_v many_o promise_n unto_o his_o people_n i_o be_o come_v to_o you_o this_o day_n not_o to_o set_v out_o unto_o you_o the_o excellency_n of_o wit_n or_o learning_n or_o the_o creature_n but_o the_o excellency_n of_o a_o naked_a promise_n according_a to_o that_o 2_o pet_n 1_o 4._o whereby_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o exceed_v great_a and_o and_o pre●ious_a promise_n now_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n unto_o his_o people_n be_v such_o as_o concern_v the_o body_n or_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n those_o that_o concern_v the_o body_n be_v with_o this_o limitation_n that_o be_v so_o far_o as_o concern_v god_n glory_n and_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n but_o for_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n consider_v that_o place_n for_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o sun_n and_o shield_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v grace_n and_o 11._o psal_n 84._o 11._o glory_n and_o no_o good_a will_v he_o withhold_v from_o they_o that_o live_v upright_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v thus_o make_v many_o promise_n unto_o his_o people_n and_o they_o be_v three_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o his_o people_n may_v have_v a_o fit_a object_n for_o their_o faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o for_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o all_o of_o they_o joint_o or_o any_o of_o they_o apart_o a_o fit_a object_n for_o faith_n to_o work_v upon_o or_o be_v satisfy_v in_o it_o be_v with_o faith_n as_o with_o a_o poor_a woman_n that_o have_v a_o child_n and_o have_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n to_o give_v it_o she_o take_v the_o child_n at_o her_o back_n and_o go_v from_o door_n to_o door_n and_o what_o she_o get_v she_o give_v to_o the_o child_n so_o faith_n take_v the_o soul_n and_o carry_v it_o to_o promise_v after_o promise_n and_o what_o ever_o she_o find_v there_o she_o give_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v make_v many_o promise_n unto_o his_o people_n be_v that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o ground_n of_o comfort_n for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o faith_n so_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o comfort_n for_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n can_v profit_v or_o comfort_v the_o believe_a soul_n as_o suppose_v we_o shall_v go_v to_o friend_n for_o comfort_n it_o may_v be_v they_o want_v comfort_n for_o themselves_o and_o so_o be_v unfit_a to_o comfort_v we_o or_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v not_o comfort_v we_o or_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v a_o great_a way_n off_o and_o so_o can_v do_v it_o or_o perhaps_o though_o able_a and_o sometime_o willing_a yet_o they_o be_v mutable_a in_o their_o comfort_n so_o as_o though_o at_o one_o time_n they_o be_v willing_a and_o do_v comfort_v we_o yet_o another_o time_n they_o fail_v we_o but_o christ_n to_o who_o the_o soul_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o promise_n not_o only_o have_v comfort_n and_o be_v able_a to_o comfort_v we_o but_o he_o be_v willing_a also_o to_o give_v comfort_n to_o we_o who_o know_v our_o want_n and_o be_v near_o to_o all_o that_o 18._o psal_n 145._o 18._o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n and_o also_o he_o be_v immutable_a in_o his_o comfort_n and_o be_v the_o creature_n a_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o comfort_n to_o god_n people_n then_o to_o want_v the_o creature_n be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o misery_n to_o they_o but_o a_o man_n may_v want_v health_n wealth_n liberty_n and_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o through_o and_o in_o christ_n his_o soul_n may_v have_v satisfy_v comfort_n but_o if_o he_o want_v christ_n though_o he_o have_v a_o fullness_n of_o the_o creature_n he_o be_v most_o miserable_a and_o without_o all_o satisfy_a comfort_n the_o promise_n only_o be_v able_a to_o afford_v comfort_n to_o the_o soul_n in_o health_n in_o sickness_n in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n the_o three_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v make_v many_o promise_n unto_o his_o people_n be_v that_o they_o may_v become_v mutual_a comforter_n one_o of_o another_o by_o have_v somewhat_o by_o experience_n from_o a_o promise_n wherewith_o they_o may_v be_v enable_v to_o comfort_v other_o so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o promise_n be_v not_o give_v to_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o only_a but_o also_o one_o another_o now_o for_o use_v be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n have_v use_v 1_o use_v make_v many_o promise_n unto_o his_o people_n let_v we_o try_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o have_v any_o right_n to_o the_o promise_n or_o no_o i_o will_v name_v but_o one_o note_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_a remember_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o true_a one_o for_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o in_o scripture_n but_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v give_v to_o 22._o gal._n 3._o 22._o they_o that_o believe_v so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v to_o they_o and_o to_o they_o only_o that_o believe_v he_o that_o can_v exercise_v faith_n in_o the_o promise_n have_v right_o to_o the_o promise_n for_o you_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n 7._o 2_o cor._n 5._o 7._o if_o christian_n be_v in_o affliction_n and_o see_v that_o it_o do_v they_o good_a than_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v that_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o the_o good_a of_o they_o that_o love_n god_n but_o to_o believe_v this_o 28._o rom._n 8._o 28._o promise_n when_o we_o can_v see_v any_o good_a come_v of_o affliction_n that_o be_v to_o believe_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n but_o when_o we_o can_v see_v no_o good_a come_v by_o affliction_n but_o find_v ourselves_o more_o dead_a and_o dull_a and_o also_o god_n to_o frown_v upon_o we_o and_o yet_o we_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o believe_v the_o promise_n and_o stay_v our_o soul_n upon_o god_n word_n this_o be_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n as_o we_o be_v command_v who_o be_v among_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o obey_v 10._o isai_n 50._o 10._o the_o voice_n of_o his_o servant_n that_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o have_v no_o light_n let_v he_o trust_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o stay_v upon_o his_o god_n faith_n make_v thing_n absent_a to_o be_v present_a and_o make_v the_o promise_n good_a to_o we_o though_o
