they_o 13._o 1_o thes_n 2._o 13._o receive_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n not_o of_o man_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o hearer_n of_o the_o word_n some_o hear_v it_o only_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n man_n teach_v man_n instruct_v man_n exhort_v or_o reprove_v etc._n etc._n but_o you_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n faith_n make_v they_o to_o hear_v god_n in_o his_o word_n other_o man_n neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o it_o but_o as_o it_o be_v with_o saul_n and_o his_o company_n 7._o act._n 9_o 7._o travel_v to_o damascus_n so_o be_v godly_a man_n and_o other_o man_n as_o saul_n and_o his_o company_n be_v go_v to_o damascus_n it_o be_v say_v a_o voice_n be_v hear_v from_o heaven_n saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o the_o man_n with_o he_o they_o hear_v the_o voice_n but_o they_o see_v no_o man_n only_a paul_n see_v jesus_n christ_n the_o other_o do_v not_o so_o wicked_a man_n hear_v the_o sound_n of_o the_o word_n but_o they_o see_v no_o man_n they_o see_v not_o jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n in_o his_o word_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n that_o see_v god_n in_o the_o prospective_n of_o his_o word_n and_o ordinance_n and_o therefore_o though_o man_n have_v these_o prospective_n of_o his_o ordinance_n yet_o they_o see_v not_o god_n in_o they_o because_o they_o want_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o unite_v they_o and_o god_n together_o so_o again_o god_n people_n be_v near_o unto_o he_o in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o so_o oft_o as_o it_o be_v worthy_o receive_v be_v a_o new_a bond_n out_o of_o the_o great_a court_n of_o heaven_n to_o tie_v they_o and_o god_n together_o more_o near_o and_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o write_v this_o bond_n and_o seal_v it_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whereas_o other_o man_n be_v no_o near_a god_n in_o the_o sacrament_n than_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o table_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o separation_n that_o even_o unglues_fw-mi they_o from_o their_o common_a nearness_n in_o common_a mercy_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o ascent_n which_o by_o worthy_a receive_n make_v man_n a_o step_n near_o to_o god_n so_o by_o unworthy_a partake_n they_o go_v low_a to_o evil_a and_o far_o from_o he_o three_o they_o be_v near_o to_o god_n in_o prayer_n for_o so_o prayer_n in_o scripture_n be_v common_o call_v a_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v priest_n to_o god_n that_o as_o king_n and_o great_a 6._o rev._n 2._o 6._o one_o have_v their_o chaplain_n for_o they_o so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v his_o chaplain_n yea_o chaplain_n in_o ordinary_a such_o as_o wait_v continual_o on_o god_n and_o that_o not_o only_o for_o themselves_o but_o for_o other_o also_o that_o look_v as_o king_n have_v their_o master_n of_o request_n whereby_o the_o petition_n of_o suitor_n be_v prefer_v unto_o they_o so_o god_n people_n be_v his_o great_a master_n of_o request_n whereby_o petition_n of_o each_o other_o yea_o and_o wicked_a man_n also_o be_v prefer_v to_o he_o so_o abraham_n be_v 17._o gen._n 20._o 7_o 17._o the_o great_a master_n of_o request_n for_o king_n abimelech_n let_v abraham_n pray_v for_o thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v live_v etc._n etc._n so_o job_n be_v the_o master_n 8._o job_n 42._o 7_o 8._o of_o request_n for_o his_o three_o friend_n so_o moses_n for_o the_o israelite_n and_o this_o be_v faith_n still_o that_o make_v this_o nearness_n faith_n be_v that_o which_o perfume_v their_o prayer_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o they_o ascend_v up_o to_o god_n and_o be_v accept_v by_o he_o that_o as_o great_a person_n choose_v still_o perfume_v thing_n as_o apparel_n and_o glove_n etc._n etc._n let_v the_o other_o alone_o because_o the_o perfume_n make_v they_o acceptable_a so_o faith_n make_v their_o prayer_n acceptable_a to_o god_n which_o else_o they_o will_v not_o be_v last_o and_o so_o we_o attribute_n the_o last_o nearness_n to_o god_n which_o be_v in_o his_o special_a attribute_n have_v do_v with_o these_o several_a branch_n of_o nearness_n god_n people_n be_v near_o he_o in_o his_o special_a attribute_n they_o be_v near_o his_o presence_n and_o in_o his_o favour_n other_o be_v like_o absalon_n which_o may_v not_o see_v the_o king_n face_n or_o at_o the_o best_a god_n frown_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v near_o his_o eye_n near_o his_o ear_n 15_o psal_n 34._o 15_o and_o so_o near_o his_o hand_n that_o when_o danger_n be_v at_o hand_n he_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o put_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o help_v and_o faith_n take_v he_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o get_v out_o so_o i_o may_v show_v how_o they_o be_v near_o the_o trinity_n trinity_n near_o the_o trinity_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n which_o be_v with_o all_o in_o they_o most_o proper_o they_o if_o then_o by_o faith_n in_o itself_o they_o be_v near_o unto_o god_n in_o that_o eight-fold_n nearness_n of_o covenant_n subject_a servant_n friend_n child_n spouse_n branch_n member_n and_o again_o in_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v holiness_n of_o heart_n as_o like_o god_n his_o temple_n house_n life_n in_o thought_n affection_n speech_n action_n service_n word_n sacrament_n prayer_n etc._n etc._n if_o near_o he_o in_o his_o special_a attribute_n and_o to_o all_o the_o trinity_n then_o they_o be_v a_o people_n very_o near_o he_o but_o to_o all_o this_o it_o may_v object_n be_v object_v how_o then_o may_v some_o say_v do_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o stand_v afar_o off_o 1._o psal_n 10._o 1._o to_o hide_v himself_o as_o david_n and_o many_o of_o god_n people_n complain_v it_o thus_o fall_v out_o sometime_o answ_n with_o these_o near_a one_o but_o this_o be_v when_o they_o themselves_o go_v away_o from_o god_n by_o sin_n where_o god_n be_v not_o and_o therefore_o god_n may_v there_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o far_o off_o because_o sin_n be_v a_o place_n where_o god_n be_v not_o or_o ever_o be_v near_o to_o they_o in_o it_o as_o continue_v in_o it_o but_o only_o he_o be_v near_o they_o as_o come_v out_o of_o sin_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v sinful_a so_o far_o be_v god_n remote_a from_o they_o he_o come_v no_o far_o into_o the_o heart_n than_o faith_n purify_v it_o into_o no_o room_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o those_o that_o by_o faith_n be_v sweep_v from_o sin_n 2._o again_o though_o god_n seem_v to_o stand_v a_o far_o off_o and_o to_o hide_v himself_o that_o we_o think_v he_o not_o near_o yet_o as_o jacob_n say_v he_o 27._o gen._n 28._o 27._o be_v nigh_o and_o he_o not_o aware_a of_o it_o so_o god_n be_v near_o his_o people_n when_o they_o think_v not_o of_o it_o even_o as_o the_o father_n be_v take_v by_o the_o child_n for_o go_v when_o he_o be_v but_o behind_o the_o hang_n 3._o three_o god_n be_v many_o time_n near_o and_o actual_o help_v when_o we_o think_v he_o be_v not_o and_o do_v not_o because_o we_o look_v for_o he_o in_o a_o way_n of_o our_o own_o prescribe_v wherein_o he_o will_v not_o come_v there_o be_v a_o double_a way_n wherein_o god_n come_v to_o help_n double_a way_n of_o help_n his_o people_n first_o a_o ordinary_a way_n or_o the_o king_n highway_n the_o great_a road_n of_o providence_n and_o mercy_n wherein_o he_o ordinary_o be_v nigh_o they_o as_o help_v they_o in_o ordinary_a mean_n there_o be_v second_o a_o secret_a privy_a way_n or_o path_n wherein_o he_o come_v sometime_o and_o be_v at_o we_o before_o we_o be_v aware_a of_o it_o and_o so_o we_o think_v he_o not_o come_v because_o not_o in_o the_o common_a road_n wherein_o we_o expect_v he_o thus_o many_o time_n god_n be_v near_o in_o give_v some_o other_o mercy_n than_o we_o ask_v as_o more_o fit_a for_o we_o thus_o sometime_o he_o give_v not_o it_o may_v be_v wealth_n but_o friend_n or_o we_o it_o may_v be_v look_n to_o have_v a_o lust_n heal_v by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n when_o they_o nor_o any_o so_o common_a mean_n do_v it_o not_o but_o he_o heal_v it_o by_o confession_n of_o it_o to_o a_o godly_a friend_n 16._o jam._n 5._o 16._o 4._o though_o god_n stand_v a_o far_o off_o yet_o he_o than_o be_v near_o though_o not_o sensible_o yet_o real_o and_o true_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o nearness_n remain_v still_o though_o the_o sense_n and_o influence_n be_v somewhat_o cut_v off_o even_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n when_o it_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o cloud_n the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v then_o as_o near_o as_o when_o the_o cloud_n be_v not_o before_o it_o though_o the_o heat_n and_o
