master_n you_o must_v take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n so_o as_o to_o be_v divorce_v from_o all_o other_o lover_n for_o this_o know_v that_o christ_n and_o good_a fellowship_n that_o christ_n and_o

a_o immense_a a_o great_a and_o almighty_a god_n the_o length_n and_o breadth_n and_o depth_n of_o who_o greatness_n you_o can_v comprehend_v again_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n god_n shall_v appoint_v such_o a_o mediator_n to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o take_v flesh_n which_o the_o angel_n themselves_o wonder_v at_o it_o be_v such_o

come_v the_o second_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n i_o have_v make_v know_v this_o truth_n but_o thou_o have_v withheld_a it_o thence_o it_o come_v that_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o least_o

of_o sin_n you_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o punishment_n if_o such_o a_o one_o as_o aristotle_n or_o a_o stranger_n from_o the_o truth_n shall_v hear_v of_o this_o punishment_n the_o greatness_n whereof_o appear_v herein_o that_o the_o worm_n die_v not_o and_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o quench_v how_o will_v he_o wonder_v at_o it_o but_o knit_v these_o together_o it_o will_v not_o seem_v strange_a last_o of_o all_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o punishment_n cause_v the_o greatness_n of_o such_o a_o mediator_n to_o take_v away_o this_o punishment_n and_o sin_n so_o there_o be_v a_o correspondency_n in_o they_o come_v from_o god_n to_o sin_n from_o sin_n to_o the_o punishment_n from_o punishment_n to_o the_o mediation_n or_o redemption_n by_o which_o this_o sin_n be_v take_v

to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o hear_v it_o well_o enough_o but_o they_o have_v not_o a_o ear_n to_o hear_v it_o to_o purpose_n man_n may_v hear_v what_o flesh_n and_o common_a reason_n and_o common_a man_n say_v of_o sin_n but_o not_o what_o the_o spirit_n say_v of_o it_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o sinfulness_n in_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a evil_n of_o sin_n and_o what_o the_o spirit_n say_v of_o this_o they_o do_v not_o hear_v therefore_o you_o must_v even_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n as_o the_o deaf_a man_n be_v who_o be_v both_o deaf_a and_o dumb_a

that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o show_v you_o how_o sanctification_n arise_v from_o justification_n justification_n and_o it_o have_v a_o double_a rise_n the_o one_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n

on_o the_o promise_n of_o sanctification_n and_o when_o you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o come_v to_o a_o table_n where_o you_o have_v fatling_n where_o

2_o cor._n 5.17_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n let_v he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n though_o she_o have_v no_o countetenance_n from_o christ_n prayer_n

make_v request_n to_o god_n according_a to_o god_n will_v that_o then_o it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o spirit_n therefore_o when_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v make_v new_a creature_n do_v you_o think_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o god_n to_o deny_v you_o no_o because_o this_o desire_n come_v from_o his_o spirit_n now_o it_o be_v true_a a_o man_n may_v desire_v to_o be_v make_v a_o new_a

to_o desire_v to_o be_v make_v a_o new_a creature_n out_o of_o the_o beauty_n and_o taste_n of_o it_o out_o of_o a_o desire_n to_o please_v god_n and_o to_o glorify_v he_o who_o name_n be_v call_v

on_o bold_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o hear_v you_o he_o can_v deny_v you_o see_v how_o christ_n do_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n those_o that_o be_v lame_a and_o blind_a when_o they_o

howsoever_o his_o disciple_n slight_v they_o christ_n respect_v they_o now_o do_v

i_o so_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n and_o i_o will_v be_v your_o god_n for_o you_o shall_v turn_v to_o i_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n in_o a_o word_n they_o be_v never_o disjoin_v take_v

swear_v uncleanness_n go_v through_o any_o particular_a sin_n if_o they_o be_v not_o heal_v they_o be_v not_o forgive_v and_o so_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n therefore_o do_v not_o say_v though_o i_o sin_v again_o and_o again_o yet_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o i_o hope_v ready_a to_o forgive_v it_o be_v very_o true_a but_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o he_o be_v never_o

of_o holiness_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o the_o heart_n when_o he_o come_v as_o a_o passenger_n for_o a_o night_n or_o as_o a_o sojourner_n for_o a_o month_n or_o two_o but_o he_o
