for_o it_o i_o conceive_v the_o latter_a word_n faithful_a may_v be_v explicative_a of_o the_o former_a epithet_n good_a the_o goodness_n and_o excellency_n of_o a_o servant_n chief_o consist_v in_o

the_o most_o that_o we_o receive_v from_o christ_n at_o present_a be_v very_o little_o compare_v with_o what_o we_o shall_v receive_v from_o he_o hereafter_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a disproportion_n between_o what_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n and_o what_o we_o have_v in_o hope_n i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o enjoyment_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v of_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o present_a time_n that_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o glory_n which_o shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o we_o rom._n 8.18_o god_n will_v deal_v more_o bountiful_o with_o his_o own_o child_n when_o

we_o by_o it_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v whether_o these_o word_n i_o will_v make_v thou_o ruler_n over_o many_o thing_n do_v pure_o serve_v for_o the_o set_n off_o the_o parabolical_a narration_n or_o be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n according_a to_o the_o former_a notion_n they_o be_v expressive_a of_o a_o kind_a master_n treatment_n of_o a_o faithful_a servant_n have_v
