the_o grace_n and_o goodness_n god_n in_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o carnal_a and_o not_o a_o spiritual_a persuasion_n true_a faith_n work_v by_o love_n therefore_o if_o my_o work_n not_o by_o love_n

because_o he_o first_o love_v we_o he_o that_o love_v not_o god_n have_v not_o apprehend_v god_n love_n to_o he_o as_o far_o as_o thou_o believe_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n the_o love_n of_o god_n

paul_n faith_n shall_v have_v his_o love_n we_o say_v that_o love_n be_v the_o loadstone_n of_o love_n magnes_fw-la amoris_fw-la amor_fw-la so_o god_n love_n do_v draw_v forth_o our_o heart_n in_o

the_o greek_n proverb_n be_v that_o love_v be_v wrought_v by_o see_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d so_o when_o by_o faith_n we_o see_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n we_o can_v but_o love_v

with_o what_o i_o deliver_v be_v enemy_n to_o that_o christ_n who_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o die_v on_o the_o cross_n &_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o enemy_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n which_o be_v to_o be_v wrought_v by_o his_o power_n and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v how_o little_a i_o regard_v the_o speech_n of_o these_o enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o

i_o apprehend_v it_o may_v much_o further_o the_o work_n of_o the_o day_n for_o if_o we_o have_v remember_v god_n aright_o in_o our_o praise_n have_v make_v mention_n of_o his_o goodness_n to_o the_o

temporal_a mercy_n we_o shall_v rejoice_v rather_o carnal_o then_o spiritual_o therefore_o have_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o day_n rejoice_v for_o the_o mercy_n that_o god_n have_v show_v to_o the_o land_n i_o think_v i_o shall_v do_v well_o if_o i_o raise_v you_o in_o your_o spirit_n by_o what_o i_o shall_v speak_v from_o these_o word_n and_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o nationall_n mercy_n and_o temporal_a deliverance_n take_v occasion_n to_o draw_v your_o eye_n to_o behold_v by_o faith_n how_o you_o and_o all_o saint_n shall_v rejoice_v when_o you_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o enemy_n at_o the_o resurrection_n that_o so_o i_o may_v sublimate_v your_o joy_n by_o carry_v you_o high_o in_o the_o spirit_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o spiritual_a thing_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o text_n
