but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blemish_n god_n choose_v we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v such_o a_o love_n to_o we_o even_o as_o the_o father_n have_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n and_o my_o friend_n the_o spirit_n be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n do_v the_o father_n choose_v we_o and_o do_v the_o son_n give_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v so_o then_o come_v the_o spirit_n and_o resolve_n that_o he_o will_v make_v we_o so_o and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n at_o the_o 18_o verse_n if_o so_o be_v you_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n and_o then_o as_o to_o the_o energy_n the_o working_n of_o the_o spirit_n why_o say_v he_o in_o the_o 17_o verse_n the_o spirit_n lu_v against_o the_o flesh_n the_o fleshly_a part_n in_o we_o be_v a_o unbelieving_a part_n that_o be_v against_o live_v out_o of_o ourselves_o upon_o christ_n ay_o but_o the_o spirit_n that_o work_v contrary_a unto_o these_o natural_a lusting_n and_o natural_a working_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n v._o 22._o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v love_n joy_n peace_n long-suffering_a gentleness_n goodness_n faith_n etc._n etc._n by_o compare_v these_o passage_n together_o you_o may_v raise_v this_o observation_n that_o even_o as_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v concern_v for_o our_o practical_a as_o well_o as_o personal_a holiness_n so_o also_o be_v the_o spirit_n he_o lust_v and_o he_o work_v and_o he_o strive_v and_o he_o never_o leave_v lust_a and_o strive_v and_o work_v against_o the_o flesh_n until_o he_o have_v bring_v forth_o these_o fruit_n of_o love_n joy_n peace_n and_o long-suffering_a and_o gentleness_n and_o goodness_n and_o faith_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o first_o particular_a god_n have_v choose_v we_o unto_o personal_a and_o practical_a holiness_n and_o if_o you_o do_v observe_v it_o this_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v also_o insure_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n with_o all_o the_o content_n of_o it_o and_o with_o all_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o it_o may_v a_o poor_a creature_n say_v but_o how_o shall_v i_o come_v to_o attain_v to_o this_o and_o what_o security_n can_v i_o have_v of_o it_o why_o say_v he_o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o in_o he_o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o and_o now_o say_v he_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o he_o but_o then_o 2._o the_o second_o blessing_n that_o the_o apostle_n take_v notice_n of_o be_v the_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n of_o adoption_n which_o do_v not_o only_o discover_v a_o relation_n to_o god_n but_o also_o a_o suitable_a frame_n and_o a_o suitable_a become_a sense_n of_o the_o relation_n a_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o a_o frame_n comport_v and_o comply_v with_o it_o this_o you_o have_v a_o account_n of_o in_o the_o 5_o verse_n have_v predestinate_v we_o to_o the_o adoption_n of_o child_n to_o himself_o etc._n etc._n i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v what_o the_o apostle_n here_o do_v discover_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o it_o be_v the_o adoption_n of_o child_n to_o himself_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v insure_v our_o adoption_n with_o all_o the_o privilege_n with_o all_o the_o bless_a consequent_n of_o it_o unto_o we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o that_o be_v so_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n a_o god_n adopt_v we_o unto_o himself_o by_o jesus_n christ_n this_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o scripture_n frequent_o make_v mention_n of_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o roman_n we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n the_o spirit_n of_o son_n and_o what_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n you_o shall_v find_v what_o it_o be_v rom._n 8.15_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n say_v the_o apostle_n you_o be_v son_n ay_o but_o the_o sonship_n be_v manage_v by_o the_o spirit_n you_o be_v not_o only_a son_n but_o the_o spirit_n witness_v with_o your_o spirit_n that_o you_o be_v so_o and_o that_o be_v his_o proper_a work_n and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o that_o why_o say_v he_o you_o cry_v abba_n father_n you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n in_o your_o distress_n and_o you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n under_o your_o temptation_n and_o you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n as_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o all_o your_o strait_n and_o trouble_n and_o under_o all_o your_o spiritual_a want_n and_o you_o may_v say_v unto_o he_o father_n hear_v and_o father_n help_v say_v the_o apostle_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v indeed_o under_o the_o law_n when_o they_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n they_o stand_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o god_n they_o be_v under_o fear_n but_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o you_o cry_v abba_n father_n it_o be_v as_o natural_a a_o privilege_n to_o a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v as_o natural_a language_n to_o gracious_a heart_n to_o cry_v abba_n father_n as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o child_n to_o cry_v to_o his_o father_n father_n or_o mother_n you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n say_v he_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n you_o have_v the_o apostle_n give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o gal._n 4._o v._n 4_o 5._o god_n send_v forth_o his_o son_n make_v of_o a_o woman_n make_v under_o the_o law_n why_o what_o then_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o adoption_n of_o son_n and_o because_o you_o be_v son_n say_v he_o god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n i_o will_v only_o observe_v this_o to_o you_o which_o it_o may_v be_v be_v not_o so_o obvious_a to_o every_o apprehension_n compare_v but_o these_o two_o scripture_n together_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o the_o one_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n spirit_n and_o in_o the_o other_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n as_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n for_o say_v he_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o same_o spirit_n that_o influence_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o in_o which_o jesus_n christ_n always_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o always_o walk_v with_o god_n under_o all_o variety_n of_o providence_n as_o with_o a_o father_n the_o same_o spirit_n he_o have_v send_v forth_o and_o this_o same_o spirit_n that_o cry_v abba_n father_n in_o christ_n cry_v abba_n father_n also_o in_o christian_n 3._o the_o three_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o the_o apostle_n make_v mention_n of_o in_o this_o chapter_n be_v a_o universal_a acceptance_n of_o christian_n in_o all_o case_n notwithstanding_o all_o disobligement_n one_o will_v wonder_v that_o a_o child_n shall_v sin_v and_o though_o the_o sin_n be_v reject_v yet_o the_o child_n stand_v still_o in_o a_o state_n of_o acceptation_n though_o the_o father_n scourge_v the_o child_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o unchild_n the_o child_n this_o you_o have_v a_o account_n of_o verse_n 6._o to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n wherein_o he_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o a_o christian_n can_v propose_v to_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o case_n that_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n can_v expose_v a_o christian_n to_o but_o the_o christian_a be_v still_o accept_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o fear_n and_o under_o all_o his_o jealousy_n and_o in_o the_o face_n of_o all_o his_o conscience_n accusation_n and_o his_o own_o self-condemnations_a yet_o the_o child_n be_v accept_v the_o christian_n be_v accept_v who_o have_v make_v we_o say_v he_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a my_o friend_n this_o be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n indeed_o there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v their_o heart_n great_o concern_v and_o their_o spirit_n wonderful_o

in_o every_o providence_n and_o such_o as_o lay_v open_a to_o every_o ordinance_n i_o say_v practical_a experience_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n grace_n o_o what_o can_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v nay_o christian_n what_o be_v it_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n can_v do_v that_o grace_n that_o can_v send_v christ_n out_o of_o his_o eternal_a mansion_n in_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o father_n what_o can_v that_o grace_n do_v for_o thou_o that_o grace_n that_o can_v empty_v as_o it_o be_v the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n of_o his_o glory_n do_v thou_o think_v that_o this_o grace_n can_v empty_v thy_o heart_n of_o sin_n that_o grace_n that_o can_v fill_v the_o covenant_n with_o such_o a_o fullness_n of_o blessing_n poor_a worm_n do_v thou_o think_v that_o this_o grace_n can_v fill_v thy_o heart_n with_o blessing_n i_o pray_v christian_n do_v but_o consider_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 19_o and_o 20_o verse_n of_o this_o chap._n and_o what_o be_v say_v he_o the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o his_o power_n to_o we_o ward_v who_o believe_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o his_o mighty_a power_n if_o thy_o heart_n be_v hard_a and_o be_v fix_v within_o thou_o so_o that_o thou_o do_v oppose_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n he_o will_v work_v this_o work_n of_o faith_n with_o power_n if_o it_o be_v exceed_o hard_a there_o be_v exceed_a power_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v the_o command_n of_o if_o thou_o be_v exceed_v weak_a there_o be_v exceed_a grace_n that_o have_v the_o dispose_n of_o exceed_a power_n ay_o if_o thou_o be_v exceed_v unworthy_a there_o be_v exceed_a grace_n that_o can_v exceed_o overlook_v all_o thy_o unworthiness_n now_o christian_n practical_a experience_n of_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n under_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n we_o have_v hear_v much_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n of_o the_o respective_a person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n what_o have_v this_o grace_n do_v for_o thy_o soul_n be_v thou_o able_a to_o set_v to_o thy_o seal_n that_o there_o be_v a_o exceed_a power_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o father_n and_o a_o exceed_a power_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o son_n if_o thou_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o experience_v it_o true_o if_o there_o be_v but_o some_o beginning_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n have_v but_o be_v upon_o thy_o heart_n though_o in_o lesser_a power_n if_o there_o be_v exceed_a power_n want_v that_o exceed_a power_n shall_v not_o always_o be_v suspend_v practical_a experience_n of_o the_o exceed_a mighty_a power_n of_o god_n be_v that_o which_o be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n which_o we_o be_v bless_v with_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o for_o the_o illustration_n of_o this_o do_v but_o compare_v this_o power_n if_o thou_o need_v as_o much_o exceed_a power_n to_o raise_v up_o thy_o soul_n from_o any_o spiritual_a death_n or_o deadness_n as_o jesus_n christ_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o to_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o dispose_n of_o grace_n that_o shall_v be_v employ_v by_o grace_n and_o therefore_o he_o add_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n which_o he_o wrought_v in_o christ_n when_o he_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o power_n that_o raise_v the_o son_n of_o man_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o that_o power_n that_o set_v the_o son_n of_o man_n at_o his_o own_o right_a hand_n in_o heavenly_a place_n thou_o christian_n shall_v have_v experience_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o spiritual_a blessing_n wherewith_o thou_o be_v bless_v in_o christ_n jesus_n bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v he_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o a_o right_n to_o a_o universal_a and_o unbounded_a experience_n of_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o all_o case_n 9_o but_o the_o last_o that_o i_o shall_v mention_v be_v this_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o be_v a_o universal_a subjection_n of_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n under_o we_o and_o i_o think_v this_o may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o my_o friend_n all_o thing_n be_v put_v under_o the_o foot_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o yet_o put_v under_o our_o foot_n but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o great_a privilege_n how_o grace_n have_v lay_v it_o in_o christ_n do_v but_o observe_v those_o passage_n that_o you_o have_v in_o v._o 21_o 22_o 23._o of_o this_o chapter_n at_o the_o 20_o verse_n and_o have_v set_v he_o at_o his_o own_o right_a hand_n in_o heavenly_a place_n far_o above_o all_o principality_n and_o might_n and_o dominion_n and_o every_o name_n that_o be_v name_v both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o also_o in_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o as_o if_o these_o two_o word_n can_v not_o comprehend_v all_o the_o apostle_n add_v in_o general_a and_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v enemy_n to_o our_o spiritual_a interest_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v enemy_n unto_o our_o purification_n unto_o our_o sanctification_n unto_o our_o enlighten_v and_o strengthen_v and_o unto_o any_o or_o all_o of_o our_o spiritual_a blessing_n he_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n obj._n ay_o but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o we_o you_o will_v say_v ans_fw-fr therefore_o i_o pray_v observe_v what_o he_o say_v further_a he_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n with_o a_o direct_a subserviency_n unto_o his_o church_n verse_n 22._o and_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o have_v give_v he_o to_o be_v the_o head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n head_n over_o all_o principality_n over_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n over_o all_o our_o enemy_n in_o hell_n and_o over_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o that_o unto_o his_o church_n and_o people_n which_o he_o call_v his_o body_n the_o fullness_n of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o now_o my_o friend_n this_o be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o be_v evident_a i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v a_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n chap._n 8._o verse●_n 11._o compare_v with_o verse_n 2._o at_o the_o 11_o verse_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o you_o i_o apprehend_v that_o this_o have_v not_o relation_n primary_o or_o principal_o to_o the_o last_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n but_o even_o to_o a_o spiritual_a deliverance_n and_o freedom_n of_o the_o body_n from_o the_o remain_v of_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n &_o death_n which_o yet_o abide_v in_o it_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n than_o you_o shall_v be_v quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n shall_v be_v dispose_v and_o influence_v so_o by_o that_o spirit_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v ready_a than_o now_o they_o be_v to_o serve_v the_o grace_n of_o your_o soul_n according_a to_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o my_o reason_n for_o this_o interpretation_n be_v this_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o former_a chapter_n have_v be_v cry_v out_o verse_n 24._o o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n which_o he_o have_v confess_v have_v too_o long_o lodge_v in_o his_o member_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n now_o in_o verse_n 2._o of_o this_o chap._n he_o say_v but_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n where_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v in_o my_o body_n say_v the_o apostle_n but_o say_v he_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n have_v make_v i_o free_a upon_o this_o hypothesis_n the_o apostle_n do_v conclude_v in_o verse_n 11._o that_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o we_o then_o shall_v our_o mortal_a body_n be_v quicken_v and_o dispose_v also_o unto_o spiritual_a service_n and_o if_o you_o do_v but_o observe_v it_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o discourse_n give_v such_o a_o exhortation_n tend_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o

what_o then_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o i_o think_v have_v his_o share_n in_o suffering_n these_o light_a affliction_n work_v for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_v and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n now_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o god_n look_v after_o the_o least_o grain_n i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o improvement_n and_o deliver_v my_o sense_n as_o to_o the_o improveableness_n of_o it_o in_o these_o five_o or_o six_o practical_a conclusion_n use_v 1_o and_o the_o first_o be_v this_o will_v god_n in_o the_o sift_n of_o israel_n take_v care_n that_o the_o least_o grain_n do_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n then_o let_v every_o one_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o great_o concern_v to_o be_v make_v god_n grain_n my_o meaning_n be_v to_o get_v grace_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a satan_n have_v two_o design_n by_o way_n of_o dilemma_n upon_o you_o if_o you_o escape_v the_o one_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o you_o fall_v into_o the_o other_o and_o what_o be_v these_o design_n of_o satan_n true_o the_o design_n lie_v here_o what_o shall_v thou_o be_v content_a with_o so_o little_a when_o other_o that_o have_v be_v more_o sinful_a have_v more_o despise_v and_o slight_v the_o little_a because_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a thou_o shall_v ever_o attain_v to_o much_o and_o how_o do_v he_o manage_v it_o thou_o be_v old_a he_o say_v to_o one_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a thou_o shall_v live_v long_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o expect_v to_o grow_v if_o thou_o have_v begin_v betimes_o it_o have_v be_v something_o like_a and_o to_o those_o that_o be_v young_a all_o in_o good_a time_n yet_o see_v but_o such_o a_o one_o that_o live_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o pleasure_n and_o god_n look_v upon_o he_o and_o see_v how_o he_o grow_v up_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o grace_n in_o a_o little_a time_n here_o be_v the_o dilemma_n now_o between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o my_o friend_n i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o fix_v upon_o a_o little_a grace_n i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o two_o branch_n 1._o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o severe_a dispensation_n god_n will_v find_v out_o a_o little_a grace_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v will_v god_n look_v upon_o i_o if_o i_o be_v as_o david_n may_n the_o poor_a soul_n say_v and_o may_z another_z say_v if_o i_o be_v as_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v find_v i_o out_o nay_o stay_v proud_a soul_n it_o be_v enough_o if_o thou_o be_v but_o weak_a &_o let_v grace_n take_v it_o be_v own_o time_n to_o make_v thou_o as_o david_n the_o weak_a shall_v be_v as_o david_n and_o david_n as_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n friend_n i_o will_v beg_v of_o you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o live_v without_o a_o little_a grace_n and_o that_o you_o will_v live_v cheerful_o with_o a_o little_a grace_n until_o god_n give_v more_o 2._o the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o a_o little_a in_o be_v be_v as_o much_o as_o all_o in_o reversion_n be_v thou_o but_o a_o small_a grain_n pray_v who_o make_v thou_o a_o small_a grain_n have_v not_o he_o also_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v he_o make_v the_o dry_a tree_n to_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o dry_a ground_n can_v he_o make_v a_o little_a one_o a_o nation_n sure_o he_o have_v the_o residue_n of_o the_o spirit_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o god_n never_o begin_v with_o great_a thing_n in_o the_o most_o remarkable_a proceed_v of_o grace_n that_o be_v by_o past_a and_o that_o be_v to_o come_v but_o he_o always_o begin_v with_o a_o little_a and_o so_o glorify_v both_o his_o grace_n and_o his_o power_n in_o make_v that_o little_o great_a than_o all_o therefore_o pray_v sir_n let_v i_o persuade_v you_o you_o that_o be_v young_a and_o you_o that_o be_v old_a if_o you_o canhope_o for_o a_o great_a deal_n give_v god_n no_o rest_n till_o he_o give_v you_o a_o little_a till_o he_o make_v you_o a_o little_a christian_a give_v he_o no_o rest_n oh_o bring_v your_o child_n and_o cry_v lord_n a_o little_a grace_n for_o this_o child_n oh_o bring_v your_o servant_n &_o cry_v lord_n a_o little_a grace_n for_o this_o servant_n oh_o cast_v your_o heart_n at_o the_o footstool_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o say_v lord_z a_o little_a grace_n for_o this_o graceless_a heart_n if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a lord_n as_o thy_o soul_n live_v say_v the_o woman_n to_o the_o prophet_n i_o have_v but_o a_o little_a meal_n in_o the_o barrel_n and_o a_o little_a oil_n in_o the_o cruse_a what_o then_o say_v the_o prophet_n come_v &_o make_v i_o a_o cake_n so_o i_o say_v my_o friend_n as_o the_o lord_n live_v if_o he_o have_v create_v a_o little_a grace_n he_o will_v create_v more_o and_o therefore_o my_o friend_n bless_v god_n for_o a_o little_a and_o be_v not_o content_v without_o a_o little_a use_v 2_o will_v not_o the_o lord_n suffer_v the_o least_o grain_n to_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n in_o all_o the_o sift_n then_o you_o may_v see_v the_o vast_a difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o in_o god_n providential_a proceed_n i_o will_v throw_v say_v he_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n into_o the_o sieve_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o what_o then_o let_v the_o chaff_n go_v let_v the_o chaff_n go_v let_v the_o head_n that_o have_v not_o grain_n in_o they_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n oh_o say_v he_o but_o the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n you_o have_v god_n word_n for_o it_o the_o great_a difference_n that_o god_n make_v in_o his_o general_a judgement_n between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o two_o branch_n 1._o there_o be_v more_o that_o god_n like_v in_o the_o least_o grain_n than_o there_o be_v in_o heap_n of_o the_o chaff_n of_o the_o wicked_a there_o be_v more_o that_o god_n like_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o poor_a christian_n than_o god_n can_v discover_v in_o a_o whole_a nation_n of_o hypocrite_n put_v together_o no_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o poor_a christian_a have_v that_o have_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n cast_v they_o into_o the_o balance_n and_o they_o be_v altogether_o light_a than_o vanity_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o pinch_n indeed_o say_v god_n i_o give_v ethiopia_n for_o thou_o and_o seba_n for_o thou_o so_o i_o tell_v you_o my_o friend_n that_o god_n make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o chaff_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o bulky_a but_o he_o make_v much_o of_o a_o little_a grain_n the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n let_v the_o chaff_n go_v whither_o it_o will_v burn_v it_o with_o unquenchable_a fire_n say_v the_o lord_n the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v away_o but_o the_o bulky_a chaff_n shall_v be_v burn_v with_o unquenchable_a fire_n 2._o that_o little_a that_o a_o christian_n have_v can_v do_v more_o with_o god_n and_o for_o god_n than_o all_o that_o other_o have_v can_v do_v it_o may_v be_v such_o a_o one_o have_v great_a part_n well_o and_o what_o do_v he_o do_v for_o god_n and_o another_o he_o have_v a_o great_a bulk_n of_o gift_n what_o can_v he_o do_v for_o god_n what_o can_v he_o do_v true_o all_o he_o can_v do_v be_v only_o this_o to_o dissemble_v with_o god_n and_o to_o dishonour_v god_n the_o time_n have_v be_v wherein_o gift_n have_v be_v magnify_v above_o grace_n and_o not_o long_o since_o by_o many_o but_o what_o be_v come_v of_o it_o see_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n how_o they_o be_v wheel_v about_o and_o now_o grace_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o will_v stand_v we_o instead_o in_o our_o day_n and_o all_o the_o gift_n that_o all_o the_o professor_n of_o england_n have_v can_v do_v so_o much_o as_o a_o little_a grace_n it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v a_o name_n to_o live_v and_o profess_v much_o but_o where_o be_v your_o grace_n one_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o another_o i_o be_o of_o apollo_n and_o what_o then_o where_o be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n you_o may_v be_v of_o paul_n while_o you_o live_v and_o go_v to_o hell_n when_o you_o die_v you_o may_v be_v of_o apollo_n when_o you_o be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o when_o you_o die_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v you_o may_v be_v hale_v to_o judgement_n by_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n such_o a_o one_o you_o say_v he_o pray_v he_o be_v a_o mighty_a man_n in_o prayer_n sir_n i_o tell_v you_o i_o value_v no_o more_o my_o own_o prayer_n that_o be_v prayer_n of_o gift_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o in_o they_o and_o god_n be_v no_o more_o glorify_v in_o they_o than_o a_o empty_a sound_n but_o a_o few_o sigh_n
