keep_v and_o propagate_a one_o of_o the_o most_o glorious_a truth_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a yet_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v far_a off_o from_o sense_n and_o reason_n wherein_o i_o suffer_v trouble_n mark_v paul_n do_v not_o say_v wherein_o i_o make_v trouble_n no_o but_o wherein_o i_o suffer_v trouble_n as_o a_o evil_a doer_n unto_o bond_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v if_o this_o bless_a and_o glorious_a apostle_n will_v have_v have_v the_o faith_n of_o god_n bind_v and_o have_v content_v himself_o with_o sinful_a silence_n and_o not_o propagate_v the_o gospel_n paul_n may_v have_v be_v free_a but_o paul_n will_v not_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n bind_v therefore_o paul_n will_v suffer_v for_o it_o shall_v we_o go_v high_o a_o great_a deal_n then_o this_o you_o have_v the_o glorious_a commendation_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n upon_o this_o account_n that_o he_o give_v a_o free_a and_o full_a account_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o father_n and_o of_o his_o glorious_a person_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n a_o bloody_a persecutor_n it_o be_v not_o by_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n fight_v nor_o by_o say_v my_o

and_o of_o his_o person_n fear_v to_o ensnare_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o truth_n with_o your_o own_o liberty_n do_v not_o ensnare_v it_o to_o your_o own_o lust_n nor_o to_o the_o will_n of_o any_o

holy_a david_n ps._n 119._o 161._o prince_n have_v persecute_v i_o without_o a_o cause_n but_o my_o heart_n stand_v in_o awe_n of_o thy_o word_n for_o he_o that_o have_v the_o most_o fear_n fear_v on_o you_o and_o upon_o you_o you_o will_v be_v more_o afraid_a to_o fall_v into_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o childish_a thing_n for_o a_o christian_a to_o tread_v down_o the_o belief_n of_o any_o

you_o may_v read_v in_o all_o the_o day_n of_o antichrist_n persecution_n from_o the_o beginning_n they_o come_v to_o divide_v in_o matter_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n and_o worship_n and_o obedience_n to_o man_n christian_n nothing_o but_o a_o suffer_a spirit_n will_v help_v you_o to_o this_o for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o obedience_n in_o this_o case_n to_o authority_n but_o to_o suffer_v under_o it_o meek_o patient_o as_o lamb_n this_o make_v the_o three_o child_n to_o divide_v between_o the_o command_n of_o god_n what_o say_v nebuchadnezzer_n every_o knee_n that_o bow_v not_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o furnace_n very_o well_o as_o for_o that_o matter_n say_v they_o o_o king_n we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o answer_v thou_o for_o we_o will_v not_o bow_v down_o etc._n etc._n what_o will_v they_o not_o obey_v he_o yet_o they_o will_v obey_v he_o by_o suffering_n as_o become_v christian_n as_o be_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v true_o we_o be_v terrify_v with_o hell_n too_o we_o be_v terrify_v by_o the_o threat_n of_o the_o great_a king_n and_o we_o be_v likewise_o terrify_v by_o the_o threat_n of_o

have_v a_o latitude_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n i_o believe_v some_o christian_n be_v of_o that_o opinion_n that_o they_o will_v even_o think_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v ill_o advise_v to_o venture_v their_o all_o upon_o those_o truth_n they_o see_v other_o die_v and_o suffer_v for_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n many_o christian_n study_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o line_n of_o obedience_n as_o far_o as_o the_o honesty_n of_o the_o time_n will_v give_v they_o leave_v but_o no_o far_o that_o they_o will_v go_v on_o with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o the_o high_a priest_n h●…ll_o and_o there_o deny_v he_o or_o that_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o do_v anything_o for_o christ_n but_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v nothing_o for_o christ_n you_o very_o little_a honour_n jesus_n christ_n in_o this_o and_o you_o will_v very_o little_a honour_n yourselves_o at_o the_o last_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n that_o christian_n if_o they_o see_v even_o against_o plain_a conviction_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o word_n that_o there_o be_v super-instituted_n thing_n break_v in_o as_o in_o conscience_n they_o can_v submit_v to_o yet_o they_o can_v comply_v why_o they_o may_v be_v use_v lawful_o though_o not_o superstitious_o but_o say_v

father_n command_n i_o say_v in_o all_o thing_n he_o keep_v to_o his_o father_n commission_n he_o do_v nothing_o here_o upon_o earth_n but_o what_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o commission_n for_o say_v he_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o the_o text_n i_o do_v nothing_o of_o myself_o but_o as_o my_o father_n bid_v i_o so_o also_o he_o act_v in_o conformity_n to_o his_o father_n will_n that_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o square_v by_o which_o christ_n order_v all_o his_o action_n his_o eye_n be_v still_o upon_o his_o father_n will_n whatever_o he_o will_v he_o to_o do_v that_o he_o do_v whatever_o he_o will_v he_o to_o suffer_v that_o he_o suffer_v and_o thus_o he_o always_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v please_v to_o his_o father_n but_o i_o do_v not_o insist_v further_o upon_o the_o word_n in_o this_o reference_n for_o my_o design_n be_v to_o bring_v down_o the_o word_n unto_o ourselves_o to_o those_o that_o be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v the_o same_o disposition_n of_o heart_n in_o all_o believer_n to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o please_v god_n this_o be_v the_o frame_n and_o temper_n and_o carriage_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o be_v the_o frame_n and_o temper_n of_o every_o true_a believer_n and_o this_o be_v a_o part_n of_o our_o likeness_n unto_o christ_n as_o you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o bless_a resemblance_n and_o similitude_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o member_n they_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n that_o christ_n have_v only_o in_o a_o different_a proportion_n for_o he_o have_v it_o without_o measure_n they_o have_v the_o same_o grace_n as_o christ_n have_v for_o substance_n though_o not_o for_o degree_n of_o his_o fullness_n we_o all_o have_v receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n that_o be_v as_o many_o interpret_v it_o grace_n answerable_a unto_o grace_n as_o the_o print_n in_o the_o wax_n answer_v to_o the_o print_n in_o the_o seal_n and_o as_o face_n answer_v to_o face_n so_o grace_n in_o believer_n answer_n unto_o that_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n they_o be_v to_o show_v forth_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 11._o now_o this_o be_v the_o grace_n &_o virtue_n and_o holiness_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o always_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o please_v his_o father_n why_o this_o be_v in_o all_o believer_n only_o with_o this_o difference_n it_o be_v actual_a performance_n in_o the_o one_o it_o be_v but_o endeavour_v in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o one_o it_o be_v sincere_a but_o imperfect_a in_o the_o other_o christ_n always_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o please_v god_n a_o believer_n endeavour_v always_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o please_v god_n he_o do_v not_o always_o do_v so_o witness_n david_n in_o the_o case_n of_o his_o uncleanness_n when_o he_o displease_v the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v in_o 2_o sam._n 11._o the_o observation_n i_o intend_v to_o speak_v to_o shall_v be_v this_o they_o that_o please_v god_n and_o endeavour_v always_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o please_v god_n such_o god_n will_v be_v with_o such_o the_o father_n will_v not_o leave_v alone_o especial_o in_o time_n of_o suffering_n and_o trouble_n for_o i_o will_v bring_v it_o to_o that_o case_n indeed_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v such_o at_o any_o time_n for_o that_o promise_n be_v exceed_o full_a hebr._n 13._o 5._o i_o will_v never_o leave_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o i_o do_v not_o know_v any_o one_o promise_n in_o all_o the_o bible_n that_o be_v express_v with_o such_o a_o emphasis_n as_o that_o promise_n be_v such_o a_o multiplication_n of_o negative_n in_o the_o original_a but_o especial_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v such_o in_o a_o afflict_a and_o suffer_a condition_n in_o the_o prosecute_n of_o this_o i_o will_v speak_v to_o four_o thing_n first_o i_o will_v show_v you_o when_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o please_v god_n 2._o i_o will_v confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n 3._o i_o will_v show_v you_o in_o what_o respect_v god_n will_v be_v with_o they_o that_o desire_v to_o please_v he_o in_o a_o suffer_a condition_n 4._o i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o application_n for_o the_o first_o we_o please_v god_n in_o what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o act_v 1._o in_o a_o suitableness_n to_o god_n nature_n and_o 2._o in_o subjection_n to_o god_n law_n for_o please_v of_o god_n lie_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n as_o that_o please_v a_o man_n which_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o disposition_n and_o be_v correspondent_a with_o his_o command_n we_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o please_v god_n when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o god_n do_v and_o when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o god_n command_v when_o we_o hate_v sin_n as_o god_n hate_v sin_n when_o we_o be_v holy_a as_o god_n be_v holy_a you_o shall_v find_v it_o in_o col._n 1._o 10._o that_o you_o may_v walk_v worthy_a of_o god_n unto_o all_o well-pleasing_a observe_v this_o walk_a worthy_a of_o god_n be_v walk_v suitable_o or_o walk_v answerable_o to_o god_n mat._n 3._o 8._o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o repentance_n or_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n answerable_a to_o repentance_n so_o to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o god_n be_v to_o walk_v suitable_a to_o god_n to_o his_o nature_n now_o then_o observe_v what_o follow_v that_o you_o may_v walk_v worthy_a of_o god_n to_o all_o well-pleasing_a then_o we_o please_v god_n when_o we_o walk_v suitable_o unto_o god_n so_o also_o when_o we_o act_v in_o a_o bless_a conformity_n to_o god_n to_o his_o law_n for_o nothing_o can_v please_v the_o good_a god_n but_o what_o be_v good_a now_o the_o law_n be_v the_o measure_n and_o standard_n of_o all_o goodness_n nothing_o can_v be_v good_a but_o what_o bear_v conformity_n to_o this_o law_n which_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n god_n be_v well_o please_v when_o his_o will_n be_v observe_v as_o you_o know_v you_o that_o be_v master_n your_o servant_n please_v you_o when_o they_o do_v your_o will_n that_o inference_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o this_o be_v very_o apposite_a rom._n 8._o 8._o so_o then_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n what_o be_v this_o same_o inference_n ground_v upon_o because_o the_o carnal_a mind_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n neither_o indeed_o can_v so_o that_o they_o that_o be_v in_o flesh_n can_v please_v god_n why_o because_o there_o be_v that_o principle_n in_o they_o as_o carry_v out_o a_o real_a enmity_n to_o the_o law_n and_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v they_o will_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n will_v nor_o obedient_a to_o god_n command_n there_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o enmity_n in_o they_o against_o these_o thing_n and_o so_o can_v please_v god_n god_n be_v please_v when_o his_o will_n be_v fulfil_v and_o his_o command_n observe_v to_o please_v god_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n so_o to_o act_v that_o whatever_o we_o do_v we_o may_v express_v a_o likeness_n to_o god_n nature_n and_o a_o bless_a subjection_n to_o god_n reveal_v will_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n a_o second_o thing_n be_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o doctrine_n they_o that_o thus_o please_v god_n he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v they_o alone_o especial_o in_o a_o hour_n of_o trial_n for_o my_o brethren_n assure_v yourselves_o of_o this_o that_o which_o the_o father_n do_v for_o christ_n he_o will_v do_v for_o
