which_o the_o father_n have_v in_o his_o own_o power_n but_o we_o be_v command_v to_o go_v by_o scripture-sign_n that_o as_o no_o man_n know_v the_o one_o viz._n the_o day_n and_o hour_n so_o when_o

people_n of_o god_n have_v arrive_v unto_o but_o i_o bless_v god_n for_o what_o i_o have_v see_v and_o i_o can_v wish_v i_o have_v word_n to_o declare_v it_o to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o who_o live_v in_o the_o daily_a expectation_n of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o lively_a zealous_a christian_n that_o ever_o i_o have_v know_v or_o hear_v of_o in_o these_o latter_a day_n the_o wonderful_a impression_n which_o they_o have_v upon_o their_o spirit_n about_o it_o be_v soul-ravishing_a inflame_v their_o heart_n with_o love_n to_o he_o they_o be_v soul-replenishing_a that_o they_o even_o overflow_v and_o run_v over_o in_o all_o their_o discourse_n with_o the_o most_o affectionate_a speak_v of_o christ_n and_o for_o he_o whereby_o they_o be_v render_v some_o of_o the_o most_o useful_a saint_n upon_o earth_n and_o whereas_o all_o enthusiastical_a opinion_n be_v wont_n to_o puff_n up_o these_o impression_n have_v tend_v to_o make_v they_o the_o most_o humble_a and_o lowly_a christian_n that_o ever_o i_o come_v near_o as_o the_o generality_n of_o christian_n be_v without_o these_o expectation_n so_o by_o woeful_a experience_n we_o know_v how_o cold_a we_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o life_n in_o our_o converse_n and_o family_n we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o note_n of_o some_o boanerges_n some_o such_o awaken_n discourse_v as_o be_v here_o present_v to_o you_o though_o we_o come_v behind_o other_o christian_n as_o to_o the_o plerophory_n they_o be_v raise_v up_o to_o yet_o by_o grace_n we_o be_v assure_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o slack_a as_o some_o count_n slackness_n we_o abhor_v the_o malignity_n of_o the_o scoffer_n that_o say_v where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_v we_o full_o know_v that_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v will_v come_v in_o his_o own_o time_n and_o will_v not_o tarry_v this_o be_v enough_o to_o rouse_v we_o from_o our_o security_n and_o to_o make_v we_o prize_v a_o discourse_n that_o be_v more_o than_o ordinary_o suit_v to_o the_o awaken_n of_o a_o drowsy_a world_n this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o more_o fervent_a when_o we_o pray_v with_o the_o church_n 1690._o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o thy_o dear_a son_n may_v come_v quickly_z and_o that_o all_o his_o enemy_n be_v make_v his_o footstool_n he_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o king_n may_v reign_v to_o all_o

you_o must_v ascribe_v all_o the_o praise_n to_o the_o grace_n and_o assistance_n of_o our_o come_a saviour_n and_o all_o the_o fault_n to_o the_o poor_a publisher_n who_o have_v nothing_o of_o his_o
