that_o be_v they_o shall_v be_v enable_v to_o open_v the_o scripture_n mystery_n but_o now_o why_o be_v it_o call_v a_o holy_a city_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o two_o fold_v holiness_n first_o a_o holiness_n of_o thing_n second_o a_o holiness_n of_o person_n first_o a_o holiness_n of_o thing_n in_o four_o or_o five_o respect_n first_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o way_n of_o dedication_n or_o consecration_n so_o the_o bowl_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a and_o all_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o temple_n too_o second_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o holy_a by_o way_n of_o simulation_n or_o figure_n so_o be_v the_o ark_n the_o brazen_a serpent_n aarous_a rod_n and_o the_o manna_n which_o do_v figure_n and_o simile_n out_o christ_n three_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o way_n of_o call_v so_o be_v the_o priest_n office_n it_o be_v a_o holy_a call_n be_v holy_a you_o that_o bear_v the_o vessel_n of_o the_o lord_n four_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o way_n of_o rule_n or_o precept_n so_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a as_o paul_n say_v though_o i_o be_v sinful_a yet_o the_o law_n be_v holy_a 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 god_n be_v worship_v in_o it_o though_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o sinful_a city_n but_o second_o person_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a likewise_o and_o first_o by_o way_n of_o creation_n so_o the_o fall_v angel_n be_v make_v holy_a and_o adam_n too_o in_o his_o first_o creation_n god_n create_v man_n upright_o but_o he_o find_v out_o many_o invention_n second_o person_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o way_n of_o call_v so_o the_o priest_n prophet_n apostle_n and_o patriarch_n o_o say_v paul_n the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o they_o three_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o the_o inherent_a holiness_n of_o god_n in_o they_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n in_o they_o purify_n of_o they_o and_o now_o they_o may_v be_v well_o say_v to_o be_v holy_a in_o these_o respect_n first_o compare_v themselves_o with_o themselves_o former_o they_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o nature_n but_o now_o in_o light_n by_o the_o spirit_n who_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v none_o of_o their_o own_o but_o redeem_v of_o christ_n to_o who_o they_o live_v as_o paul_n say_v if_o i_o live_v i_o live_v to_o christ_n and_o if_o i_o die_v i_o die_v to_o christ_n o_o happy_a change_n from_o sin_n and_o satan_n to_o god_n and_o christ_n second_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v 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 such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o but_o now_o you_o be_v wash_v and_o cleanse_v last_o and_o chief_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o way_n of_o imputation_n have_v the_o holiness_n or_o righteousness_n of_o god_n impute_v to_o they_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o 2._o cor._n 5.21_o 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 holy_a even_o as_o christ_n be_v holy_a but_o three_o why_o be_v this_o jerusalem_n call_v new_a jerusalem_n for_o three_o or_o four_o reason_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o creation_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o declaration_n three_o in_o respect_n of_o reparation_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o creation_n so_o you_o call_v a_o thing_n new_a that_o be_v new_o make_v what_o be_v so_o a_o building_n be_v call_v new_a because_o it_o be_v new_o set_v up_o in_o this_o respect_n jerusalem_n be_v call_v new_a jerusalem_n because_o god_n have_v set_v it_o up_o for_o a_o build_n for_o himself_o or_o habitation_n for_o his_o own_o glory_n where_o he_o will_v
come_v down_o as_o a_o bride_n and_o now_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v of_o this_o jerusalem_n come_v down_o in_o her_o bravery_n first_o she_o be_v rich_o clothe_v for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o

sure_o very_o lovely_a o_o when_o christ_n shall_v look_v on_o his_o rebecka_n trim_v with_o his_o righteousness_n as_o with_o earrings_a and_o jewel_n how_o lovely_a will_v she_o then_o be_v will_v he_o not_o then_o say_v thou_o be_v all_o fair_a my_o love_n thou_o have_v ravish_v my_o heart_n with_o one_o of_o thy_o eye_n as_o solomon_n song_n 4.9_o yea_o she_o will_v ravish_v as_o i_o may_v
