of_o idolize_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n much_o more_o of_o idolize_v other_o form_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o form_n wherein_o god_n appear_v to_o the_o world_n there_o be_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o high_a and_o most_o immediate_a form_n and_o appearance_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v ordinance_n in_o which_o god_n appear_v as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o

the_o sun_n by_o reflection_n so_o ordinance_n be_v but_o the_o shadow_n as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o image_n and_o thus_o christ_n be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o father_n but_o ordinance_n be_v but_o

give_v you_o this_o necessary_a caution_n let_v no_o man_n think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o christ_n and_o no_o use_n of_o prayer_n and_o preach_v and_o other_o ordinance_n no_o this_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o the_o doctrine_n this_o only_a may_v be_v infer_v that_o this_o be_v not_o that_o glorious_a rest_n where_o a_o christian_a be_v to_o sit_v down_o form_n be_v but_o help_v

therefore_o you_o can_v cast_v away_o those_o form_n the_o scripture_n will_v last_v so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v aught_o of_o they_o to_o be_v fulfil_v but_o that_o which_o we_o be_v contend_v

all_o those_o knot_n loose_v and_o dark_a way_n open_v then_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n of_o christ_n come_v and_o die_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v parable_n now_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o god_n love_v believer_n and_o be_v their_o righteousness_n and_o their_o strength_n and_o love_n and_o faith_n and_o all_o not_o thus_o resolve_v into_o the_o father_n be_v but_o a_o parable_n that_o do_v cloud_v the_o father_n they_o be_v not_o ordain_v to_o cloud_v the_o father_n but_o they_o do_v through_o our_o weakness_n cloud_v the_o father_n from_o we_o they_o be_v ordain_v that_o they_o may_v insinuate_v and_o convey_v according_a to_o our_o capacity_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n into_o we_o but_o as_o
