have_v in_o mercy_n ordain_v he_o to_o be_v the_o rest_n for_o mankind_n three_o that_o god_n can_v otherwise_o be_v say_v to_o rest_n in_o christ_n for_o our_o good_a but_o only_a because_o all_o faithful_a and_o holy_a man_n do_v set_v up_o their_o rest_n in_o christ_n four_o that_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n here_o mean_v consist_v only_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o man_n and_o that_o god_n call_v that_o his_o rest_n which_o indeed_o be_v primary_o and_o proper_o man_n rest_n the_o rest_n of_o god_n can_v be_v mean_v of_o any_o new_a rest_n in_o respect_n of_o himself_o only_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o increase_n or_o access_n can_v be_v add_v to_o infiniteness_n such_o as_o be_v the_o bless_a eternal_a and_o unspeakable_a rest_n of_o the_o godhead_n therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o other_o external_a respect_n in_o which_o god_n be_v say_v to_o rest_v otherwise_o than_o before_o and_o that_o sure_o be_v the_o rest_n which_o he_o have_v procure_v for_o man_n which_o god_n call_v his_o own_o rest_n the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v very_o often_o ascribe_v the_o passion_n or_o affection_n of_o man_n unto_o god_n as_o when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v to_o be_v angry_a to_o be_v grieve_v and_o vex_v and_o displease_v although_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o no_o such_o change_n can_v consist_v with_o the_o immutable_a godhead_n for_o
