say_v peter_n unto_o you_o and_o to_o all_o israel_n that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o nazareth_n be_v this_o man_n make_v whole_a who_o you_o crucify_v but_o god_n have_v raise_v he_o up_o and_o this_o be_v the_o stone_n set_v at_o naught_o by_o you_o builder_n and_o be_v now_o become_v the_o head_n of_o the_o corner_n neither_o be_v there_o salvation_n in_o any_o other_o now_o when_o they_o see_v the_o boldness_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a man_n they_o take_v knowledge_n that_o they_o have_v be_v with_o jesus_n and_o can_v say_v nothing_o against_o the_o miracle_n they_o have_v wrought_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n then_o they_o take_v counsel_n and_o straight_o charge_v they_o they_o shall_v speak_v no_o more_o in_o that_o name_n and_o they_o answer_v bold_o whether_o be_v it_o right_a in_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o hearken_v unto_o you_o more_o than_o unto_o god_n judge_v you_o for_o we_o can_v not_o but_o speak_v the_o thing_n we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o so_o the_o whole_a chapter_n and_o divers_a other_o place_n do_v declare_v with_o what_o wonderful_a boldness_n they_o declare_v christ_n because_o christ_n live_v withthem_n live_v in_o they_o they_o have_v experience_n of_o his_o strength_n and_o love_n in_o support_v and_o their_o love_n can_v not_o but_o return_v in_o declare_v the_o thing_n they_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o these_o thing_n beget_v a_o love_n to_o the_o thing_n declare_v &_o give_v power_n to_o declare_v they_o with_o all_o courage_n and_o boldness_n the_o saint_n be_v make_v one_o with_o christ_n suck_v and_o draw_v up_o into_o christ_n they_o live_v by_o love_v and_o love_n by_o live_v they_o declare_v through_o love_v &_o love_n through_o declare_v and_o suitable_a to_o their_o love_n they_o can_v choose_v but_o declare_v love_v in_o they_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n it_o predominate_v it_o overrule_v all_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o declare_v the_o life_n they_o live_v in_o if_o a_o parliament_n shall_v command_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o declare_v what_o experience_n they_o have_v of_o christ_n as_o i_o hope_v this_o parliament_n never_o will_v they_o can_v not_o contain_v it_o will_v be_v as_o fire_n in_o their_o bosom_n it_o will_v burst_v out_o love_n will_v so_o constrain_v they_o can_v they_o sit_v and_o see_v and_o not_o speak_v i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v such_o mighty_a constrain_v in_o the_o power_n of_o love_n they_o can_v not_o keep_v in_o it_o boot_v not_o the_o world_n to_o act_v against_o the_o power_n of_o love_n to_o raise_v persecution_n the_o more_o they_o act_n against_o it_o the_o more_o it_o work_v the_o more_o it_o constrain_v again_o another_o reason_n be_v why_o they_o be_v so_o constrain_v to_o declare_v what_o they_o see_v and_o know_v because_o the_o matter_n declare_v be_v the_o very_a power_n declare_v they_o be_v so_o leap_v up_o in_o the_o love_v of_o christ_n &_o so_o make_v one_o in_o he_o that_o the_o thing_n they_o declare_v be_v not_o another_o thing_n from_o they_o but_o they_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v so_o bold_a in_o declare_v never_o blame_v they_o for_o they_o and_o those_o thing_n be_v the_o same_o no_o nor_o never_o admire_v they_o for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o constrain_a power_n in_o they_o they_o can_v do_v otherwise_o and_o that_o he_o have_v he_o receive_v not_o from_o other_o as_o their_o experience_n but_o they_o be_v his_o own_o they_o be_v himself_o paul_n you_o see_v when_o once_o christ_n have_v appear_v to_o he_o there_o be_v such_o a_o light_n such_o a_o glory_n such_o a_o power_n such_o a_o demonstration_n of_o truth_n to_o his_o soul_n that_o he_o immediate_o go_v &_o preach_v christ_n he_o go_v not_o to_o the_o brother_n to_o be_v confirm_v in_o what_o he_o see_v and_o feel_v but_o the_o power_n love_n be_v such_o that_o come_v life_n come_v death_n he_o must_v declare_v it_o and_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o he_o enjoy_v what_o he_o declare_v what_o he_o enjoy_v he_o act_n and_o what_o he_o act_v he_o enjoy_v while_o he_o say_v he_o see_v he_o feel_v while_o he_o speak_v of_o love_n he_o act_v in_o love_n here_o now_o you_o see_v the_o

we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n wherein_o the_o saint_n be_v bold_a they_o be_v bold_a in_o undergo_a any_o thing_n from_o god_n must_v i_o be_v poor_a must_v i_o be_v sick_a must_v i_o be_v in_o prison_n must_v i_o be_v in_o death_n he_o be_v bold_a to_o undergo_v it_o he_o see_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o all_o that_o come_v to_o he_o let_v all_o the_o world_n conjoin_v together_o against_o this_o man_n and_o look_v never_o so_o black_a and_o terrible_a upon_o he_o he_o see_v his_o god_n smile_v his_o god_n speak_v nothing_o but_o love_n as_o sin_n and_o the_o law_n though_o they_o be_v in_o conjunction_n to_o terrify_v he_o yet_o he_o be_v bold_a for_o he_o see_v god_n reconcile_v and_o as_o they_o the_o great_a can_v not_o daunt_v his_o boldness_n so_o neither_o can_v man_n nor_o can_v the_o word_n all_o they_o can_v do_v can_v make_v he_o think_v his_o father_n be_v angry_a though_o god_n himself_o try_v the_o saint_n they_o live_v in_o he_o and_o enjoy_v his_o love_n though_o he_o seem_v in_o his_o providence_n to_o be_v angry_a yet_o they_o find_v love_n in_o his_o very_a bosom_n in_o his_o very_a heart_n when_o man_n enjoy_v not_o this_o every_o frown_n from_o man_n and_o every_o frown_n from_o god_n cast_v they_o down_o they_o forsake_v their_o boldness_n because_o they_o have_v no_o exprience_n of_o the_o sweet_a and_o unchangeable_a nature_n of_o god_n as_o ezek._n 22.14_o 22.14_o exek_n 22.14_o can_v thy_o heart_n endure_v or_o can_v thy_o hand_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o day_n that_o i_o shall_v deal_v with_o thou_o they_o be_v backsliden_fw-mi and_z depart_v from_o god_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v on_o god_n as_o a_o father_n when_o he_o afflict_v they_o as_o the_o saint_n can_v do_v do_v god_n chide_v yet_o they_o know_v it_o be_v in_o love_n do_v god_n wound_v all_o be_v fruit_n of_o his_o love_n so_o now_o you_o see_v how_o bold_a a_o saint_n be_v with_o god_n how_o bold_a in_o stand_v for_o god_n how_o bold_a in_o declare_v god_n how_o bold_a in_o undergo_a any_o thing_n from_o god_n and_o all_o this_o by_o live_v with_o god_n by_o live_v in_o god_n and_o enjoy_v god_n this_o man_n must_v
