with_o the_o jewish_a both_o with_o that_o which_o be_v before_o and_o with_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v afterward_o and_o it_o be_v express_v and_o open_v here_o by_o a_o word_n follow_v yea_o or_o even_o so_o come_v lord_n jesus_n you_o see_v the_o church_n desire_v and_o out_o of_o her_o desire_n pray_v come_v lord_n jesus_n now_o this_o desire_n of_o the_o church_n show_v the_o gracious_a disposition_n of_o the_o church_n these_o desire_n be_v the_o breathe_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o soul_n tend_v to_o further_a union_n even_o as_o motion_n tend_v to_o rest_n so_o desire_v tend_v to_o the_o unite_n unto_o the_o thing_n desire_v the_o church_n desire_n here_o be_v the_o immediate_a issue_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o undissembled_a and_o they_o show_v the_o true_a character_n of_o a_o christian_a soul_n we_o may_v dissemble_v word_n and_o action_n but_o we_o can_v dissemble_v our_o desire_n and_o affection_n we_o may_v paint_v fire_n but_o we_o can_v paint_v heat_n therefore_o god_n judge_v we_o more_o by_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n then_o by_o our_o word_n and_o action_n now_o you_o may_v know_v that_o our_o desire_n be_v holy_a and_o good_a if_o so_o be_v that_o they_o be_v heavenly_a for_o than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o they_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n even_o as_o a_o spring_n will_v arise_v and_o ascend_v as_o high_a as_o the_o spring_n head_n whence_o it_o come_v if_o our_o desire_n rise_v to_o heaven_n as_o the_o church_n here_o do_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n they_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n our_o desire_n be_v as_o a_o stream_n which_o i_o will_v show_v you_o by_o prosecute_a that_o metaphor_n and_o allusion_n in_o sundry_a particular_n a_o good_a stream_n have_v a_o good_a spring_n so_o must_v our_o desire_n the_o spring_n of_o the_o church_n desire_n here_o be_v love_n she_o love_v christ_n and_o therefore_o desire_v he_o to_o come_v quick_o a_o stream_n you_o know_v 2_o carry_v all_o before_o it_o so_o our_o desire_n be_v a_o holy_a stream_n issue_v from_o a_o good_a spring_n and_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o they_o be_v efficacious_a not_o a_o mere_a velleitie_n as_o they_o say_v a_o bare_a wish_v and_o would_v a_o stream_n if_o it_o be_v stop_v will_v swell_v till_o it_o break_v 3_o down_o all_o opposition_n and_o carry_v all_o before_o it_o so_o let_v a_o good_a desire_n be_v stop_v and_o it_o will_v swell_v more_o and_o more_o and_o grow_v big_a and_o big_a till_o it_o make_v way_n for_o itself_o a_o stream_n be_v restless_a and_o incessant_a till_o it_o meet_v 4_o with_o the_o ocean_n and_o empty_a itself_o into_o the_o sea_n so_o true_a and_o holy_a desire_n be_v restless_a and_o always_o in_o motion_n they_o be_v not_o like_o a_o stand_a pool_n that_o rest_v but_o they_o be_v in_o motion_n still_o till_o they_o have_v empty_v themselves_o into_o the_o boundless_a and_o bottomless_a ocean_n of_o endless_a pleasure_n as_o true_a stream_n that_o 5_o arise_v from_o a_o fountain_n do_v wax_v big_a and_o big_a the_o near_o they_o come_v to_o the_o ocean_n because_o other_o river_n join_v with_o they_o and_o so_o they_o take_v advantage_n and_o augmentation_n by_o other_o stream_n that_o run_v into_o they_o so_o if_o our_o desire_n be_v true_a they_o be_v grow_v desire_n they_o increase_v big_a and_o big_a still_o till_o they_o come_v to_o heaven_n at_o length_n we_o see_v the_o 6_o stream_n empty_a themselves_o into_o the_o sea_n they_o be_v swallow_v up_o there_o where_o they_o have_v a_o more_o constant_a be_v then_o in_o themselves_o namely_o of_o the_o ocean_n the_o true_a element_n and_o proper_a place_n of_o all_o water_n and_o so_o our_o desire_n if_o they_o be_v holy_a as_o they_o be_v restless_a and_o grow_a so_o at_o last_o they_o empty_a themselves_o into_o christ_n and_o join_v with_o god_n and_o happiness_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a happiness_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o in_o heaven_n than_o there_o be_v in_o themselves_o and_o there_o they_o be_v swallow_v up_o last_o we_o may_v try_v our_o 7_o desire_n by_o this_o vapour_n in_o a_o low_a place_n do_v show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o spring_n there_o you_o know_v that_o the_o spring_n be_v there_o where_o there_o be_v most_o vapour_n constant_o so_o where_o there_o be_v

but_o i_o come_v more_o particular_o unto_o this_o particular_a desire_n of_o the_o church_n come_v lord_n jesus_n i_o shall_v make_v way_n by_o some_o proposition_n which_o i_o shall_v praemise_v before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o main_a thing_n which_o i_o shall_v stand_v upon_o at_o this_o time_n first_o we_o must_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o second_o glorious_a
