but_o it_o have_v be_v less_o sure_a to_o we_o we_o have_v not_o have_v the_o less_o benefit_n but_o we_o have_v have_v the_o less_o comfort_n for_o he_o will_v sure_o have_v fulfil_v his_o own_o intention_n to_o his_o people_n though_o he_o have_v never_o be_v oblige_v by_o promise_n to_o perform_v they_o so_o when_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n they_o will_v have_v be_v observe_v and_o keep_v though_o they_o have_v never_o be_v confirm_v yet_o christ_n have_v ratify_v they_o with_o his_o own_o blood_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o heb._n 9.16_o not_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n but_o with_o his_o own_o most_o precious_a blood_n and_o why_o have_v he_o do_v this_o why_o doubtless_o that_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o want_v to_o his_o

promise_n be_v not_o make_v a_o whit_n the_o more_o sure_a but_o we_o be_v the_o more_o assure_v and_o so_o we_o have_v the_o more_o comfort_n what_o do_v we_o think_v of_o god_n that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n will_v not_o have_v keep_v his_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v have_v break_v with_o we_o have_v they_o not_o be_v thus_o confirm_v no_o certain_o my_o brethren_n he_o

assurance_n and_o therefore_o christ_n have_v set_v his_o seal_n to_o all_o the_o promise_n he_o have_v seal_v they_o with_o his_o blood_n to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v have_v strong_a consolation_n as_o the_o apostle_n phrase_n be_v heb._n 6.18_o he_o have_v shed_v his_o blood_n you_o see_v that_o our_o comfort_n may_v not_o be_v weak_a but_o strong_a comfort_n that_o our_o joy_n may_v not_o be_v imcompleat_a but_o full_a joy_n christ_n give_v his_o people_n glorious_a ordinance_n that_o they_o may_v be_v full_a of_o joy_n for_o ordinance_n be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n

time_n how_o do_v he_o melt_v to_o think_v upon_o the_o overflow_a consolation_n he_o have_v sometime_o find_v in_o they_o how_o do_v his_o heart_n pant_v and_o gasp_v after_o they_o oh_o with_o what_o self-consuming_a wish_n do_v he_o long_o to_o be_v restore_v to_o they_o one_o thing_n have_v i_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o psal_n 27.4_o no_o question_n he_o desire_v many_o
