that_o he_o be_v a_o son_n for_o there_o be_v son_n who_o father_n will_v deny_v in_o every_o thing_n almost_o because_o they_o have_v deserve_v ill_o of_o they_o and_o so_o they_o bear_v but_o

this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v and_o that_o be_v a_o second_o reason_n why_o christ_n may_v have_v even_o what_o he_o will_v of_o god_n the_o father_n because_o he_o bear_v such_o dear_a affection_n to_o he_o and_o this_o be_v intimate_v also_o in_o the_o text_n itself_o say_v christ_n in_o the_o word_n mediate_o before_o which_o we_o have_v even_o now_o

their_o father_n many_o time_n which_o will_v be_v neither_o beneficial_a for_o they_o to_o receive_v nor_o honourable_a for_o their_o father_n to_o bestow_v upon_o they_o and_o god_n himself_o have_v some_o of_o these_o son_n who_o now_o and_o then_o put_v up_o their_o supplication_n and_o request_n for_o that_o which_o will_v be_v neither_o good_a for_o they_o to_o have_v nor_o he_o to_o give_v and_o therefore_o they_o receive_v the_o answer_n that_o the_o two_o disciple_n do_v you_o know_v not_o what_o you_o ask_v but_o jesus_n christ_n be_v none_o of_o those_o son_n he_o never_o fail_v in_o the_o least_o degree_n in_o the_o matter_n or_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o prayer_n he_o never_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v not_o ask_v he_o never_o ask_v what_o he_o shall_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o he_o shall_v not_o and_o that_o be_v a_o three_o reason_n why_o he_o may_v have_v even_o what_o he_o will_v of_o god_n the_o father_n because_o as_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o a_o belove_a son_n so_o he_o be_v such_o a_o son_n as_o never_o ask_v any_o thing_n amiss_o he_o never_o pray_v but_o just_a according_a to_o his_o father_n own_o will_n his_o will_n as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o mediator_n agree_v in_o every_o thing_n and_o all_o respect_n with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o therefore_o while_o the_o father_n let_v our_o saviour_n have_v his_o will_n he_o have_v his_o own_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o let_v he_o have_v his_o will_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v his_o own_o neither_o we_o that_o be_v adopt_v son_n be_v many_o time_n mistake_v in_o the_o supplication_n that_o we_o make_v to_o god_n we_o do_v not_o ask_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v my_o brethren_n that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o hear_v we_o but_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o father_n own_o beget_v son_n be_v never_o at_o a_o loss_n in_o this_o respect_n he_o never_o miss_v of_o conform_v his_o desire_n to_o his_o father_n own_o pleasure_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o his_o will_n be_v a_o law_n with_o god_n the_o father_n reason_n 4_o and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n why_o christ_n will_n be_v a_o law_n with_o god_n the_o father_n because_o indeed_o he_o will_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o he_o deserve_v of_o he_o if_o he_o sue_v for_o any_o thing_n as_o mediator_n in_o the_o

as_o divine_n observe_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o present_n of_o his_o merit_n to_o the_o father_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v he_o bold_a and_o confident_a as_o you_o see_v he_o in_o my_o text_n father_n i_o will_v have_v it_o thus_o that_o which_o i_o seek_v i_o have_v purchase_v with_o my_o blood_n and_o therefore_o let_v i_o not_o be_v wrong_v but_o let_v i_o have_v what_o

1_o to_o make_v a_o little_a application_n first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o discovery_n etc._n etc._n we_o see_v the_o reason_n then_o my_o brethren_n why_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n have_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o they_o though_o he_o be_v altogether_o lovely_a yet_o they_o love_v he_o not_o at_o all_o because_o his_o loveliness_n be_v hide_v from_o they_o his_o name_n

they_o be_v alienate_v from_o he_o stranger_n to_o he_o love_v he_o no_o more_o than_o they_o do_v a_o mere_a stranger_n but_o how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o ignorance_n

till_o jesus_n christ_n declare_v the_o father_n name_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n if_o you_o desire_v indeed_o to_o love_n god_n use_v 2_o and_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o

to_o his_o bless_a majesty_n when_o you_o be_v single_a and_o alone_a study_v the_o name_n of_o god_n think_v of_o his_o attribute_n let_v they_o be_v often_o in_o your_o meditation_n as_o you_o

there_o too_o you_o see_v my_o brethren_n they_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o my_o text_n that_o the_o love_n wherewith_o thou_o have_v love_v i_o may_v be_v in_o they_o and_o i_o in_o they_o love_n in_o they_o and_o i_o in_o they_o love_n and_o i._o to_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o love_n do_v always_o dwell_v together_o in_o the_o same_o heart_n they_o be_v not_o be_v separate_v or_o

the_o passion_n or_o natural_a affection_n but_o of_o love_n the_o save_a grace_n of_o that_o love_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o effectual_a revelation_n of_o the_o father_n name_n to_o man_n where_o this_o love_n be_v there_o christ_n be_v as_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o evident_o to_o appear_v to_o you_o for_o where_o love_n the_o save_a grace_n of_o love_n be_v there_o the_o spirit_n be_v
