as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o save_v in_o all_o the_o world_n but_o thyself_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n will_v manifest_v himself_o wonderful_a in_o thy_o salvation_n for_o indeed_o that_o be_v that_o that_o he_o aim_v at_o to_o be_v wonderful_a in_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o saint_n in_o bring_v they_o unto_o glory_n and_o that_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o all_o believer_n from_o this_o

therefore_o honour_v god_n the_o father_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o wonderful_a saviour_n labour_v therefore_o first_o to_o search_v into_o this_o deep_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n oh_o what_o a_o shame_n be_v it_o that_o those_o that_o do_v profess_v themselves_o christian_n shall_v understand_v so_o little_a of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v that_o that_o god_n expect_v i_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v study_v the_o gospel_n search_v into_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o may_v see_v more_o of_o christ_n the_o more_o we_o see_v the_o more_o still_o we_o shall_v wonder_v for_o christ_n be_v a_o infinite_a depth_n and_o the_o more_o we_o search_v into_o he_o the_o more_o we_o shall_v see_v cause_n to_o wonder_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o ephesian_n mark_v what_o a_o prayer_n paul_n make_v for_o the_o ephesian_n in_o the_o 17_o and_o 18._o verse_n he_o tell_v they_o before_o that_o he_o do_v not_o cease_v to_o give_v thanks_o for_o they_o make_v mention_n of_o they_o in_o his_o prayer_n to_o what_o end_n that_o the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o glory_n may_v give_v unto_o you_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o from_o the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o the_o father_n of_o glory_n mark_n what_o title_n he_o give_v to_o god_n when_o he_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o must_v be_v the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o must_v do_v it_o and_o the_o father_n of_o glory_n god_n do_v never_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o glory_n so_o much_o as_o when_o he_o give_v the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o a_o soul_n than_o god_n do_v make_v himself_o to_o appear_v indeed_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o glory_n and_o further_o the_o eye_n of_o your_o understanding_n be_v enlighten_v that_o you_o may_v know_v what_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o his_o call_n and_o what_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o inheritance_n in_o the_o saint_n and_o what_o be_v the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o his_o power_n to_o us-ward_n who_o believe_v and_o in_o the_o three_o of_o the_o ephesian_n from_o the_o 14_o verse_n to_o the_o 20._o for_o this_o cause_n i_o bow_v my_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o the_o whole_a family_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v name_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o might_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner-man_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n that_o you_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o love_n all_o this_o now_o be_v but_o a_o preparation_n to_o what_o he_o will_v desire_v further_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n this_o be_v a_o most_o admirable_a scripture_n sure_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n fill_v the_o heart_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o scripture_n as_o these_o be_v mighty_a strong_a argument_n to_o evince_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o we_o read_v such_o passage_n as_o these_o that_o have_v a_o spirit_n in_o they_o beyond_o the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n certain_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n to_o express_v himself_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o he_o bow_v his_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o may_v comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n length_n depth_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v that_o which_o i_o will_v especial_o observe_v that_o christian_n shall_v not_o content_v themselves_o with_o a_o little_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n but_o they_o shall_v labour_v to_o comprehend_v what_o be_v the_o length_n breadth_n depth_n and_o height_n they_o shall_v labour_v to_o dive_v into_o the_o m●steries_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o moses_n when_o he_o see_v that_o wonderful_a work_n in_o the_o wilderness_n say_v he_o i_o will_v now_o turn_v aside_o and_o see_v this_o great_a sight_n you_o have_v it_o record_v in_o the_o seven_o of_o the_o act_n and_o 31._o vers_fw-la there_o appear_v to_o he_o in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o mount_n sina_n a_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n in_o a_o bush_n when_o moses_n see_v it_o he_o wonder_v at_o the_o sight_n and_o as_o he_o draw_v near_o to_o behold_v it_o etc._n etc._n he_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o it_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o yet_o so_o much_o as_o he_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o then_o he_o draw_v near_o and_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o he_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o we_o we_o have_v some_o sight_n of_o christ_n but_o be_v it_o not_o at_o a_o distance_n we_o hear_v a_o minister_n speak_v of_o christ_n to_o we_o the_o great_a wonder_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o may_v be_v at_o the_o hear_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o christ_n beyond_o what_o we_o have_v apprehend_v heretofore_o i_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n let_v it_o not_o pass_v away_o so_o those_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v speak_v concern_v christ_n god_n will_v require_v a_o account_n of_o and_o know_v it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o pass_v by_o any_o soul_n and_o to_o do_v it_o no_o good_a if_o we_o have_v be_v preach_v to_o you_o of_o moral_a virtue_n or_o any_o deep_a discourse_n about_o any_o point_n save_v about_o jesus_n christ_n there_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o danger_n of_o let_v it_o pass_v without_o profit_n but_o when_o god_n set_v before_o you_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o son_n know_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n upon_o the_o hear_n of_o such_o thing_n without_o profit_n therefore_o you_o have_v need_n say_v upon_o the_o hear_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o moses_n say_v that_o you_o will_v draw_v near_o you_o will_v go_v and_o pray_v over_o these_o again_o and_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v reveal_v these_o thing_n unto_o you_o pray_v with_o david_n o_o lord_n open_v my_o eye_n that_o i_o may_v see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o thy_o law_n by_o law_n there_o be_v mean_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o sure_o upon_o our_o hear_n what_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o pray_v with_o more_o earnestness_n lord_n open_a our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v see_v the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o thy_o gospel_n but_o mark_v when_o moses_n draw_v near_o then_o god_n speak_v to_o he_o and_o reveal_v himself_o further_o to_o he_o if_o moses_n have_v stand_v wonder_v at_o this_o sight_n and_o go_v no_o further_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v not_o have_v god_n reveal_v himself_o so_o clear_o to_o he_o but_o when_o he_o draw_v near_o than_o god_n speak_v to_o he_o so_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v take_v with_o what_o you_o hear_v of_o this_o wonderful_a saviour_n and_o then_o you_o draw_v near_o and_o take_v pain_n in_o your_o closert_n by_o meditation_n and_o prayer_n to_o see_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o wonder_n why_o lord_n shall_v i_o hear_v of_o such_o thing_n and_o not_o understand_v they_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o do_v near_o concern_v i_o and_o shall_v i_o not_o understand_v they_o if_o you_o labour_v to_o draw_v near_o god_n will_v speak_v and_o reveal_v further_o of_o his_o mind_n to_o you_o but_o further_a of_o

any_o more_o that_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o justice_n a_o price_n pay_v for_o the_o soul_n no_o soul_n be_v ever_o save_v but_o it_o be_v save_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o price_n that_o be_v pay_v for_o it_o and_o this_o thou_o must_v acquaint_v thy_o soul_n with_o which_o thousand_o of_o people_n be_v ignorant_a of_o yet_o they_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v but_o how_o they_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o be_v here_o all_o certain_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v that_o that_o reveal_v unto_o the_o soul_n the_o price_n that_o be_v pay_v for_o a_o soul_n even_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o in_o christ_n the_o great_a mediator_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n there_o be_v a_o perfect_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n infinite_a justice_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v the_o save_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o thou_o must_v acquaint_v thy_o soul_n with_o this_o truth_n if_o thou_o be_v save_v and_o when_o thou_o hear_v of_o this_o truth_n perhaps_o thou_o can_v not_o understand_v it_o for_o the_o present_a oh_o then_o thou_o have_v need_v go_v to_o god_n in_o secret_a and_o be_v cry_v to_o he_o that_o he_o will_v reveal_v this_o truth_n unto_o thou_o but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v not_o our_o cry_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o mere_o our_o cry_n but_o there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n further_o but_o god_n have_v make_v many_o gracious_a promise_n of_o answer_v our_o cry_n and_o now_o that_o so_o he_o may_v make_v good_a his_o promise_n he_o will_v further_o reveal_v this_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o thou_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n for_o thy_o sin_n that_o have_v bring_v thy_o soul_n into_o a_o lose_a condition_n second_o and_o further_o a_o necessity_n of_o a_o perfect_a righteousness_n we_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n controversal_a about_o it_o which_o way_n it_o come_v to_o be_v apply_v but_o this_o all_o will_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n thou_o must_v have_v a_o surety_n that_o must_v have_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n for_o thou_o three_o and_o then_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n be_v this_o it_o reveal_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o the_o application_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o application_n of_o that_o that_o it_o must_v be_v make_v thy_o some_o way_n that_o thou_o must_v have_v thy_o part_n and_o share_v in_o it_o by_o thy_o union_n unto_o christ_n and_o by_o be_v make_v one_o mystical_o with_o he_o through_o faith_n so_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o mere_o save_v through_o mercy_n nor_o thus_o that_o christ_n he_o have_v come_v and_o do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o say_v god_n the_o father_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v save_v thou_o for_o he_o have_v satisfy_v i_o by_o what_o he_o have_v do_v no_o but_o there_o be_v somewhat_o more_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o conclusion_n we_o be_v save_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v by_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n we_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o make_v one_o with_o he_o and_o so_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o our_o salvation_n be_v tender_v up_o to_o the_o father_n as_o we_o we_o be_v one_o with_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o now_o if_o thou_o shall_v know_v thy_o miserable_a estate_n by_o nature_n and_o thereupon_o inquire_v after_o salvation_n and_o cry_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v further_a suppose_v thou_o come_v to_o know_v more_o than_o thou_o can_v understand_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o yet_o the_o gospel_n do_v reveal_v to_o thou_o that_o not_o only_o thou_o must_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n but_o thou_o must_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n there_o must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a marriage_n between_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o soul_n thou_o must_v have_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o head_n and_o thou_o a_o member_n he_o thy_o husband_n and_o thou_o his_o spouse_n thou_o must_v inquire_v after_o this_o union_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n of_o believe_a and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n to_o the_o jailor_n when_o he_o cry_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o be_v save_v why_o say_v he_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v it_o must_v be_v through_o jesus_n christ_n the_o great_a mediator_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n by_o thy_o believe_a in_o he_o and_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o that_o thou_o must_v come_v to_o be_v save_v four_o and_o then_o the_o gospel_n it_o reveal_v further_a as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n a_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n of_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n renew_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n the_o want_n of_o which_o if_o the_o soul_n shall_v now_o depart_v it_o must_v certain_o perish_v under_o but_o now_o if_o it_o come_v to_o be_v save_v it_o must_v have_v this_o reveal_v to_o it_o for_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v hold_v forth_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n in_o beget_v that_o soul_n anew_o to_o himself_o that_o he_o do_v intend_v to_o save_v in_o put_v a_o new_a life_n into_o it_o in_o send_v the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n into_o it_o whereby_o it_o live_v and_o act_n and_o work_n

but_o speak_v a_o word_n you_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n or_o woman_n will_v you_o not_o when_o you_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n come_v with_o fear_n lest_o you_o shall_v displease_v he_o will_v you_o say_v what_o do_v i_o care_v for_o he_o let_v he_o be_v please_v or_o not_o please_v what_o be_v that_o to_o i_o you_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o do_v it_o now_o shall_v we_o have_v less_o fear_n because_o he_o with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v be_v the_o lord_n if_o we_o have_v dependence_n upon_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n as_o we_o have_v upon_o god_n we_o will_v fear_v he_o now_o i_o say_v shall_v god_n have_v the_o less_o fear_n because_o he_o be_v a_o god_n he_o shall_v have_v the_o more_o fear_n fear_v he_o say_v christ_n that_o when_o he_o have_v kill_v the_o body_n can_v likewise_o kill_v the_o soul_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o christ_n put_v a_o i_o say_v upon_o that_o and_o true_o that_o soul_n begin_v to_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o salvation_n that_o begin_v to_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o great_a god_n to_o fall_v upon_o he_o most_o people_n in_o the_o world_n they_o walk_v bold_o and_o presumptuous_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n as_o if_o god_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o they_o and_o as_o if_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o god_n alas_o these_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o death_n and_o destruction_n but_o that_o soul_n that_o god_n have_v a_o purpose_n to_o save_v he_o begin_v to_o reveal_v his_o glory_n to_o it_o and_o to_o shine_v upon_o it_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o saul_n when_o he_o do_v shine_v from_o heaven_n in_o a_o glorious_a manner_n and_o stop_v he_o in_o his_o way_n when_o he_o be_v ride_v post_n unto_o hell_n and_o destruction_n he_o cry_v to_o he_o i_o be_o he_o that_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o be_o he_o that_o thou_o persecute_v then_o saul_n fall_v down_o tremble_v and_o say_v lord_n what_o wi●t_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v as_o if_o saul_n shall_v say_v lord_n i_o do_v not_o know_v thou_o but_o i_o see_v thou_o now_o to_o be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o dreadful_a god_n i_o see_v that_o i_o be_o in_o thy_o hand_n to_o save_v or_o destroy_v as_o thou_o please_v and_o therefore_o saul_n come_v with_o a_o tremble_a heart_n and_o cry_v to_o god_n lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v ay_o he_o be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n of_o salvation_n and_o so_o when_o a_o vile_a sinner_n that_o have_v go_v on_o without_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o shall_v now_o come_v in_o tremble_v behold_v the_o dreadfulness_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n that_o eternal_a first-beeing_a that_o it_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o and_o now_o shall_v have_v his_o fear_n strike_v into_o it_o this_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v stop_v in_o the_o way_n of_o destruction_n and_o it_o be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v very_o observable_a further_o in_o the_o text_n work_v out_o your_o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o that_o be_v a_o place_n that_o many_o people_n gross_o abuse_v they_o think_v they_o need_v do_v nothing_o but_o mark_v how_o bold_o do_v these_o people_n across_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o text_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v this_o argument_n do_v you_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n because_o god_n work_v and_o say_v they_o it_o must_v be_v god_n that_o work_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v do_v nothing_o oh_o if_o you_o shall_v wilful_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o provocation_n to_o god_n and_o upon_o your_o sickbed_n and_o deathbed_n cry_v oh_o lord_n that_o now_o thou_o will_v be_v please_v to_o work_v upon_o my_o soul_n as_o thou_o use_v to_o work_v upon_o those_o that_o thou_o intend_v to_o save_v if_o god_n shall_v make_v this_o answer_n thou_o a_o bold_a wretch_n that_o have_v provoke_v the_o eye_n of_o my_o glory_n all_o thy_o day_n and_o do_v thou_o now_o cry_v to_o i_o to_o do_v it_o if_o any_o of_o you_o do_v think_v that_o there_o will_v ever_o be_v a_o time_n when_o you_o will_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o save_v your_o soul_n you_o have_v need_n walk_v with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a before_o this_o god_n now_o i_o put_v this_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o every_o one_o here_o do_v thou_o not_o think_v o_o thou_o sinful_a soul_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n that_o thou_o shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o what_o course_n do_v thou_o take_v now_o beforehand_o be_v that_o course_n that_o thou_o take_v beforehand_o a_o continual_a provocation_n of_o god_n be_v that_o a_o good_a preparation_n to_o that_o time_n if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n that_o you_o live_v near_o though_o for_o the_o present_a you_o care_v not_o for_o he_o but_o slight_v he_o yet_o if_o you_o know_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n that_o you_o must_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o that_o man_n so_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v forsake_v you_o you_o will_v be_v a_o lose_a man_n will_v you_o dare_v to_o provoke_v that_o man_n we_o all_o know_v what_o need_n we_o shall_v have_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n walk_v with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a before_o he_o six_o further_n if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o soul_n save_v attend_v upon_o those_o mean_v that_o ●od_n have_v appoint_v to_o save_v soul_n wait_v at_o wisdom_n post_n now_o this_o one_o direction_n be_v clear_o show_v out_o of_o scripture_n will_v be_v enough_o to_o confute_v all_o that_o talk_v against_o do_v if_o god_n have_v appoint_v mean_n to_o save_v then_o sure_o he_o have_v appoint_v that_o we_o must_v attend_v upon_o those_o mean_n now_o in_o rom._n 1.16_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n now_o if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v you_o must_v bring_v your_o soul_n under_o that_o which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n because_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v use_v to_o put_v forth_o his_o almighty_a power_n for_o the_o save_n of_o soul_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n you_o can_v be_v save_v without_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o where_o be_v that_o put_v forth_o but_o in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o who_o be_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n reveal_v that_o be_v the_o arm_n of_o god_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o rom._n 10._o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o will_v say_v can_v we_o do_v any_o thing_n towards_o our_o salvation_n yes_o you_o may_v hear_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o we_o as_o creature_n to_o come_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v so_o than_o faith_n come_v by_o somewhat_o that_o we_o do_v but_o not_o so_o that_o god_n have_v tie_v himself_o to_o give_v faith_n to_o every_o one_o that_o hear_v i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v so_o but_o thus_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o hear_v shall_v be_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n in_o hear_v but_o hear_v be_v the_o way_n that_o god_n have_v set_v god_n indeed_o can_v convey_v faith_n from_o heaven_n to_o any_o soul_n immediate_o i_o but_o where_o there_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o do_v i_o expect_v that_o these_o creature_n that_o do_v intend_v that_o i_o shall_v work_v faith_n in_o they_o shall_v come_v and_o attend_v upon_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n christ_n can_v have_v open_v the_o blind_a man_n eye_n without_o spit_v upon_o the_o clay_n and_o anoint_v his_o face_n but_o he_o will_v have_v that_o do_v and_o that_o must_v be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o he_o will_v open_v his_o eye_n so_o if_o god_n will_v have_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o he_o will_v work_v faith_n in_o the_o soul_n take_v heed_n how_o this_o be_v neglect_v act._n 20.18_o paul_n be_v send_v to_o preach_v to_o what_o end_n to_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o to_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o
