god_n in_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n wherein_o he_o join_v the_o humane_a and_o the_o divine_a nature_n together_o in_o one_o person_n except_v that_o the_o work_n of_o

much_o of_o god_n in_o it_o and_o come_v from_o the_o eternal_a election_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o be_v the_o great_a work_n that_o ever_o be_v do_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v do_v and_o the_o great_a good_a that_o ever_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v communicate_v to_o any_o creature_n for_o ever_o true_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o great_a excellency_n for_o god_n make_v the_o world_n for_o that_o end_n that_o he_o may_v communicate_v his_o excellency_n and_o glory_n to_o the_o world_n to_o the_o creature_n now_o that_o which_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n intend_v from_o all_o eternity_n for_o the_o communicate_v of_o all_o his_o glory_n it_o must_v needs_o make_v the_o creature_n excellent_a that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n they_o be_v the_o excellent_a on_o earth_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o second_o tkey_n be_v the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o separate_n of_o they_o for_o god_n they_o be_v those_o that_o god_n set_v his_o thought_n upon_o from_o all_o eternity_n that_o they_o may_v enjoy_v he_o the_o great_a counsel_n that_o god_n wrought_v from_o all_o

set_v as_o it_o be_v to_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n his_o thought_n and_o counsel_n on_o work_n from_o all_o eternity_n to_o set_v apart_o a_o few_o creature_n for_o himself_o if_o there_o can_v be_v know_v who_o they_o be_v certain_o we_o can_v but_o look_v on_o they_o as_o the_o excellent_a on_o earth_n now_o wheresoever_o we_o see_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o any_o we_o may_v by_o that_o know_v that_o these_o god_n have_v separate_v for_o himself_o as_o set_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n on_o work_n from_o all_o eternity_n above_o that_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n he_o be_v most_o exercise_v in_o before_o the_o world_n about_o the_o work_n of_o separate_v such_o and_o such_o for_o himself_o the_o psalmist_n say_v psalm_n 4.3_o that_o god_n have_v set_v apart_o the_o godly_a for_o himself_o they_o be_v those_o that_o be_v dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v to_o god_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a excellency_n put_v upon_o they_o as_o you_o know_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v dedicate_v and_o consecrate_v though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o mean_a in_o itself_o yet_o be_v once_o dedicate_v be_v once_o make_v a_o consecrate_a thing_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o excellency_n put_v upon_o that_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o law_n if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n in_o the_o tabernacle_n if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o badger_n skin_n if_o it_o be_v but_o brass_n or_o goat_n hair_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v in_o itself_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v once_o consecrate_v and_o make_v holy_a to_o god_n they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o excellency_n on_o it_o now_o i_o reason_v thus_o if_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n or_o a_o little_a hair_n or_o leather_n consecrate_v to_o god_n have_v a_o excellency_n what_o then_o have_v a_o immortal_a soul_n that_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o so_o many_o pearl_n in_o it_o when_o that_o be_v consecrate_v and_o set_v apart_o to_o god_n to_o the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o all_o eternity_n here_o must_v needs_o be_v much_o excellency_n when_o a_o thing_n be_v consecrate_v we_o look_v on_o it_o no_o more_o according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o to_o the_o consecration_n as_o i_o remember_v i_o read_v of_o some_o people_n in_o india_n that_o when_o they_o have_v but_o lose_v a_o ape_n tooth_n that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o their_o god_n they_o will_v give_v a_o unspeakable_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o it_o again_o because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o their_o god_n so_o i_o read_v of_o another_o that_o be_v raise_v from_o a_o mean_a birth_n he_o take_v this_o way_n to_o make_v himself_o to_o be_v high_o esteem_v of_o the_o people_n he_o have_v a_o golden_a basin_n that_o he_o use_v to_o wash_v his_o foot_n in_o he_o take_v that_o and_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o it_o and_o consecrate_v it_o and_o then_o every_o one_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v it_o when_o it_o be_v consecrate_v nay_o say_v he_o if_o this_o which_o be_v mean_a before_o it_o be_v set_v apart_o to_o this_o use_n come_v so_o to_o be_v honour_v than_o i_o that_o be_o mean_a by_o birth_n be_v set_v apart_o to_o the_o government_n may_v as_o well_o be_v honour_v by_o you_o thus_o than_o if_o the_o superstition_n and_o will_v of_o man_n have_v consecrate_v a_o thing_n think_v he_o put_v so_o much_o excellency_n on_o it_o how_o much_o more_o when_o god_n himself_o and_o the_o great_a and_o special_a work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o he_o be_v design_v to_o it_o be_v a_o special_a work_n of_o his_o office_n to_o consecrate_v soul_n to_o god_n and_o to_o set_v they_o apart_o to_o himself_o what_o a_o excellency_n must_v this_o need_v be_v that_o be_v put_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v the_o second_o three_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o relation_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v to_o god_n they_o be_v the_o near_a relation_n that_o can_v be_v express_v of_o child_n to_o parent_n they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n of_o a_o spouse_n to_o her_o husband_n they_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n and_o in_o that_o regard_n they_o be_v more_o near_o unite_v to_o god_n than_o the_o angel_n themselves_o be_v in_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n yea_o the_o very_a member_n of_o his_o body_n they_o have_v a_o near_a relation_n in_o that_o respect_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n then_o the_o angel_n themselves_o for_o they_o have_v not_o such_o a_o relation_n as_o this_o therefore_o they_o be_v the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n again_o fourthly_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a privilege_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v we_o shall_v see_v they_o the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n and_o guiltiness_n and_o those_o immunity_n that_o they_o have_v from_o other_o but_o consider_v they_o have_v this_o privilege_n that_o god_n in_o all_o his_o attribute_n and_o work_n he_o be_v continual_o work_v for_o their_o good_a there_o be_v this_o excellent_a prerogative_n of_o the_o saint_n there_o be_v no_o attribute_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v continual_o work_v good_a to_o every_o saint_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o work_n of_o god_n providence_n but_o it_o work_v always_o continual_o for_o their_o good_a it_o will_v be_v a_o mighty_a excellent_a honour_n put_v upon_o any_o man_n if_o but_o such_o a_o honourable_a assembly_n as_o the_o parliament_n shall_v take_v think_v for_o such_o a_o one_o and_o all_o their_o purpose_n and_o plot_n and_o counsel_v all_o the_o time_n they_o be_v sit_v shall_v tend_v to_o the_o good_a of_o such_o a_o one_o in_o particular_a take_v notice_n in_o particular_a of_o he_o it_o be_v that_o which_o i_o say_v all_o your_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o mercy_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o the_o infinite_a alsufficiency_n of_o god_n be_v continual_o every_o moment_n work_v not_o only_o for_o the_o good_a of_o those_o that_o love_n god_n in_o general_a but_o for_o every_o particular_a saint_n of_o god_n god_n take_v special_a notice_n of_o they_o and_o set_v all_o his_o attribute_n continual_o on_o work_n for_o their_o good_a and_o the_o heaven_n continual_o work_v for_o they_o they_o have_v this_o privilege_n that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v make_v for_o they_o god_n have_v give_v they_o the_o world_n they_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o
