and_o just_a and_o good_a though_o i_o be_v carnal_a five_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o way_n of_o comparation_n so_o jerusalem_n be_v call_v the_o holy_a city_n because_o the_o

holy_a compare_v themselves_o with_o other_o who_o life_n lie_v and_o wallow_v in_o all_o pollution_n paul_n speak_v of_o some_o who_o be_v drunkard_n covetous_a filthy_a unclean_a sinner_n and_o

in_o this_o sense_n the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a have_v the_o holiness_n or_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o she_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n she_o be_v say_v to_o be_v

after_o he_o who_o my_o soul_n thirst_v for_o true_o friend_n you_o must_v learn_v to_o believe_v that_o that_o shall_v be_v which_o seem_v most_o unlikely_a to_o be_v so_o do_v abraham_n he_o

you_o waste_v place_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v comfort_v his_o people_n by_o make_v her_o wilderness_n become_v a_o pool_n and_o her_o waste_a land_n spring_v of_o water_n but_o

his_o name_n what_o full_a submission_n can_v there_o be_v in_o a_o gracious_a heart_n than_o here_o be_v in_o these_o word_n but_o let_v i_o give_v you_o three_o or_o four_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v sweet_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v and_o the_o first_o reason_n shall_v be_v this_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o will_n a_o saint_n see_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n a_o holiness_n and_o therefore_o let_v thing_n go_v how_o they_o will_v yet_o thou_o remain_v holy_a o_o thou_o that_o inhabite_a eternity_n paul_n say_v he_o work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n sure_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v holy_a that_o be_v wrought_v according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o counsel_n of_o a_o holy_a god_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v sweet_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o god_n will_v above_o the_o creature_n he_o do_v what_o ever_o he_o will_v and_o all_o what_o ever_o he_o will_v and_o therefore_o say_v paul_n who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n shall_v the_o potsherd_v strive_v with_o the_o potter_n or_o the_o creature_n with_o the_o creator_n no_o nor_o the_o servant_n with_o his_o master_n neither_o much_o less_o a_o gracious_a heart_n with_o his_o god_n and_o maker_n teach_v i_o to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n say_v david_n and_o every_o gracious_a heart_n too_o it_o be_v our_o prayer_n to_o say_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v and_o it_o will_v be_v our_o perfection_n to_o submit_v a_o three_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v submit_v to_o god_n will_v be_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n will_n the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v good_a in_o all_o his_o work_n to_o his_o people_n so_o say_v paul_n all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n yea_o those_o working_n of_o god_n will_n which_o most_o cross_a nature_n do_v he_o see_v a_o goodness_n in_o o_o that_o i_o have_v more_o ability_n to_o see_v this_o to_o but_o however_o a_o gracious_a heart_n see_v a_o goodness_n in_o conclusion_n which_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o say_v david_n that_o i_o be_v afflict_v for_o before_o i_o go_v astray_o and_o true_o affliction_n do_v often_o cause_v a_o saint_n to_o look_v to_o his_o way_n which_o he_o be_v too_o apt_a in_o prosperity_n to_o be_v mindless_a of_o let_v we_o search_v and_o try_v our_o way_n say_v the_o church_n in_o affliction_n and_o so_o say_v a_o gracious_a heart_n in_o every_o smart_a affliction_n o_o how_o good_a be_v that_o will_n of_o god_n that_o will_v thy_o affliction_n for_o so_o good_a a_o end_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v three_o reason_n why_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v sweet_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v because_o of_o its_o holiness_n its_o sovereignty_n and_o goodness_n one_o word_n or_o two_o more_o and_o then_o i_o hvae_fw-la do_v first_o then_o labour_n with_o your_o own_o heart_n to_o submit_v to_o god_n will_v for_o in_o every_o submission_n you_o serve_v some_o glorious_a design_n of_o god_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n sake_n labour_v quiet_o to_o submit_v o_o that_o my_o soul_n do_v know_v well_o his_o design_n and_o reason_n why_o he_o have_v deal_v so_o with_o i_o as_o he_o have_v in_o a_o way_n of_o affliction_n my_o affliction_n be_v yet_o like_o the_o black_a side_n of_o a_o cloud_n o_o that_o i_o can_v see_v the_o bright_a side_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o every_o strong_a christian_a see_v and_o by_o see_v quiet_o submit_v 2_o let_v we_o

for_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o endure_v the_o cross_n and_o despise_v the_o shame_n three_o let_v we_o submit_v our_o will_n to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a way_n and_o the_o safe_a first_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a if_o you_o will_v not_o offend_v god_n for_o if_o you_o storm_v you_o sin_n and_o offend_v god_n which_o a_o gracious_a heart_n shall_v be_v careful_a of_o second_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n the_o sturdy_a oak_n resist_v the_o wind_n and_o be_v split_v but_o the_o gentle_a reed_n by_o yield_v stand_v do_v god_n take_v a_o child_n yield_v do_v he_o
