i_o a_o sanctuary_n say_v he_o in_o exodus_fw-la and_o i_o will_v dwell_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o but_o our_o saviour_n extend_v his_o promise_n to_o a_o much_o great_a compass_n even_o to_o a_o wheresoever_o two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o my_o name_n there_o be_o i_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o place_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v shall_v be_v to_o i_o a_o jerusalem_n a_o tabernacle_n a_o sanctuary_n what_o can_v this_o import_n less_o than_o immensity_n at_o a_o time_n when_o grace_n overflow_v the_o whole_a universe_n without_o any_o distinction_n of_o people_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n our_o lord_n be_v present_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o least_o assembly_n where_o his_o name_n be_v call_v upon_o

he_o be_v in_o all_o place_n where_o he_o be_v call_v upon_o as_o god_n be_v in_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o old_a it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n promise_v his_o presence_n he_o mean_v a_o presence_n of_o his_o virtue_n and_o influence_n immensity_n be_v not_o the_o proper_a subject_n of_o a_o promise_n that_o which_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v present_a in_o all_o

that_o he_o be_v in_o all_o place_n this_o conclusion_n be_v evident_a our_o saviour_n can_v not_o act_v in_o all_o place_n if_o he_o be_v not_o in_o all_o place_n nowadays_o it_o be_v maintain_v that_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o existence_n of_o god_n in_o any_o place_n but_o by_o some_o divine_a operation_n god_n be_v every_o where_o say_v they_o because_o he_o operate_v every_o where_n

for_o we_o to_o worship_v any_o be_v save_v god_n alone_o let_v we_o learn_v this_o from_o the_o revelation_n that_o book_n wherewith_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v be_v please_v as_o it_o be_v to_o

our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v god_n with_o respect_n to_o one_o of_o his_o nature_n see_v the_o gospel_n make_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o worship_v he_o will_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o prove_v that_o
