not_o to_o hunger_n &_o thirst_n after_o it_o in_o these_o four_o regard_v first_o because_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n shall_v never_o final_o or_o total_o loose_a grace_n &_o true_a

4._o 14._o and_o not_o as_o a_o pond_n which_o may_v in_o time_n be_v quite_o dry_v up_o and_o so_o the_o believer_n shall_v never_o hunger_n &_o thirst_n after_o these_o thing_n as_o we_o do_v after_o meat_n &_o drink_v who_o though_o we_o have_v have_v it_o yet_o over_o a_o while_n be_v as_o destitute_a of_o it_o and_o as_o full_o want_v it_o as_o ever_o we_o do_v this_n not_o hunger_a exclude_v not_o every_o desire_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o spring_n from_o a_o total_a want_n of_o grace_n that_o this_o be_v true_a of_o the_o believer_n be_v most_o clear_a in_o scripture_n by_o

of_o christ_n with_o faith_n &_o the_o call_v that_o be_v vocation_n and_o so_o the_o draw_v to_o believe_v be_v without_o repentance_n that_o be_v on_o god_n part_n where_o god_n have_v begin_v a_o good_a work_n he_o will_v perfect_v it_o phill._n 1._o 6._o second_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n may_v in_o this_o respect_n be_v say_v not_o to_o hunger_n after_o grace_n because_o he_o possess_v and_o have_v in_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o own_o that_o which_o be_v abundant_o able_a to_o supply_v all_o his_o want_n &_o satisfy_v all_o his_o desire_n there_o be_v a_o spring_n in_o he_o john_n 4._o 14._o however_o he_o may_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o grace_n yet_o he_o have_v as_o his_o own_o what_o may_v give_v a_o full_a supply_n and_o all_o his_o desire_n be_v virtual_o satisfy_v in_o that_o he_o can_v desire_v what_o he_o have_v not_o to_o satisfy_v he_o have_v two_o storehouse_n first_o christ_n in_o who_o be_v hide_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n &_o

and_o wherein_o god_n have_v give_v he_o all_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o life_n &_o godliness_n 2._o pet._n 1._o 3._o 4._o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v river_n in_o he_o john_n 7._o 37._o that_o be_v a_o continual_a stream_n of_o satisfaction_n able_a to_o fill_v up_o all_o want_n he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o hunger_n because_o he_o have_v that_o in_o he_o which_o be_v able_a to_o alaye_v his_o hunger_n and_o when_o ever_o he_o will_v he_o may_v take_v what_o ever_o his_o soul_n can_v desire_v as_o paul_n rom._n 7._o 24._o have_v desire_n which_o he_o present_o satisfy_v himself_o in_o verse_n 25._o and_o give_v thanks_n to_o god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v ever_o a_o supply_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o in_o his_o very_a want_n &_o desire_n there_o be_v some_o content_a and_o stay_v to_o his_o soul_n therefore_o there_o be_v some_o supply_n three_o they_o be_v say_v not_o to_o hunger_n because_o there_o be_v a_o fullnes_n viae_fw-la not_o patriae_fw-la such_o a_o fullnes_n as_o suit_n their_o present_a condition_n a_o comparative_a though_o not_o a_o absolute_a fullnes_n therefore_o the_o saint_n speak_v of_o a_o fullnes_n psal_n
