it_o be_v this_o do_v of_o his_o will_n this_o action_n that_o put_v you_o into_o a_o high_a condition_n i_o see_v not_o that_o paul_n be_v ambitious_a of_o any_o thing_n but_o of_o this_o that_o he_o

when_o you_o read_v the_o story_n of_o moses_n that_o he_o be_v mighty_a in_o word_n and_o deed_n of_o david_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o the_o worthy_n of_o the_o church_n they_o shall_v be_v so_o

that_o the_o omission_n of_o opportunity_n be_v sin_n for_o you_o to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n do_v you_o not_o think_v the_o lord_n will_v require_v it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o

to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v upon_o a_o people_n i_o say_v the_o stand_n still_o and_o not_o hasten_v to_o the_o gap_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o of_o those_o that_o

he_o we_o have_v all_o thing_n if_o a_o man_n can_v enter_v into_o a_o serious_a consideration_n of_o this_o to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n that_o he_o be_v a_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o all_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o he_o do_v but_o think_v with_o yourselves_o if_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o a_o mean_a ordinary_a condition_n to_o be_v make_v a_o earthly_a prince_n how_o will_v you_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o will_v it_o not_o put_v other_o thought_n into_o you_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o believe_v spiritual_a privilege_n to_o be_v as_o real_a why_o shall_v you_o not_o rejoice_v more_o in_o they_o they_o be_v more_o durable_a they_o be_v more_o excellent_a they_o have_v all_o in_o they_o the_o other_o have_v indeed_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v with_o the_o eye_n they_o be_v spiritual_a they_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v enjoy_v and_o reserve_v for_o afterward_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v much_o for_o the_o present_a learn_v to_o consider_v this_o and_o it_o will_v draw_v and_o move_v you_o but_o because_o these_o thing_n be_v look_v on_o with_o a_o general_a eye_n as_o matter_n of_o fancy_n and_o speculation_n they_o be_v look_v on_o as_o thing_n that_o be_v rather_o talk_v of_o we_o see_v no_o such_o thing_n we_o have_v no_o feel_n of_o they_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o affect_v they_o but_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o believe_v this_o the_o scripture_n often_o mention_n and_o repeat_v this_o you_o be_v a_o royal_a priesthood_n heir_n with_o christ_n labour_v to_o come_v to_o this_o disjunction_n if_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o why_o do_v you_o believe_v they_o at_o all_o if_o they_o be_v so_o why_o do_v you_o not_o rejoice_v in_o they_o proportionable_a to_o these_o privilege_n and_o so_o for_o joy_n at_o his_o right_a hand_n there_o be_v joy_n and_o pleasure_n for_o evermore_o and_o as_o it_o be_v so_o for_o eternity_n so_o the_o near_o we_o draw_v to_o he_o in_o this_o life_n the_o more_o pleasure_n we_o have_v for_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o all_o comfort_n the_o near_o we_o be_v to_o he_o the_o more_o comfort_n all_o the_o way_n of_o wisdom_n be_v way_n of_o pleasure_n because_o they_o lead_v near_o to_o god_n who_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o comfort_n so_o that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n to_o consider_v the_o good_a you_o shall_v have_v by_o christ_n when_o once_o you_o see_v how_o miserable_a you_o be_v without_o he_o and_o that_o you_o shall_v gain_v so_o much_o by_o he_o now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n mean_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n remain_v how_o shall_v i_o have_v he_o i_o may_v attempt_v it_o and_o go_v without_o he_o i_o may_v seek_v and_o be_v deny_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o three_o place_n you_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o obtain_v that_o be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o encourage_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o when_o you_o see_v you_o shall_v not_o fail_v there_o be_v nothing_o can_v hinder_v on_o your_o part_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o in_o the_o precedent_a condition_n there_o be_v require_v but_o a_o earnest_a hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o he_o he_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v on_o your_o part_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o thing_n hinder_v it_o it_o must_v be_v on_o god_n part_n now_o what_o be_v there_o on_o god_n part_n that_o hinder_v he_o have_v promise_v and_o bind_v himself_o and_o he_o will_v not_o go_v from_o his_o word_n he_o will_v not_o deny_v himself_o and_o therefore_o when_o there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n on_o neither_o part_n then_o why_o do_v you_o not_o believe_v if_o you_o will_v consider_v christ_n sinner_n and_o see_v how_o he_o describe_v himself_o in_o the_o word_n if_o you_o look_v unto_o all_o those_o argument_n that_o be_v propound_v unto_o we_o therein_o to_o persuade_v we_o you_o will_v make_v no_o question_n but_o if_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o come_v you_o be_v sure_a to_o receive_v he_o you_o shall_v have_v remission_n of_o all_o your_o sin_n scripture_n if_o you_o consider_v first_o those_o speech_n in_o e●●kiel_n i_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o you_o house_n of_o israel_n such_o expostulation_n be_v very_o frequent_a oh_o that_o my_o people_n will_v return_v and_o how_o often_o will_v i_o have_v gather_v you_o as_o the_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicken_n i_o say_v these_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o god_n and_o god_n speak_v as_o he_o mean_v you_o shall_v find_v by_o the_o manner_n and_o the_o fashion_n and_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o speech_n that_o god_n desire_v it_o
