the_o great_a of_o all_o power_n be_v but_o the_o power_n of_o all_o smallnesse_n but_o since_o so_o great_a be_v his_o greatness_n every_o way_n as_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v comprehend_v let_v we_o only_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v his_o infinitenes_n therein_o to_o be_v such_o as_o we_o must_v humble_o leave_v to_o admiration_n and_o say_v with_o the_o prophet_n david_n psalm_n 1●6_n vers_fw-la 26._o praise_v you_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v without_o he_o as_o bubble_n of_o water_n that_o break_v in_o a_o instant_n or_o a_o blast_a flower_n ere_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o bud_n the_o shame_n of_o nature_n meat_n for_o dog_n fuel_n for_o fire_n outlaw_n from_o heaven_n and_o prisoner_n for_o hell_n oh_o fearful_a state_n of_o such_o as_o fear_v not_o god_n fear_v therefore_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o wrath_n lest_o you_o be_v consume_v in_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o fury_n now_o what_o be_v we_o to_o think_v of_o ourselves_o in_o he_o the_o choose_a vessel_n of_o grace_n the_o comaunder_n of_o all_o earthly_a power_n the_o compagnions_n of_o his_o saint_n coheire_n in_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n &_o brethren_n with_o his_o bless_a son_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o great_a do_v his_o greatness_n make_v his_o both_o in_o this_o world_n &_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n of_o consideration_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n touch_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n the_o second_o consideration_n it_o be_v a_o position_n infallible_a that_o of_o goodness_n can_v come_v nothing_o but_o good_a god_n then_o be_v the_o only_a &_o ever_o true_a and_o pure_a essence_n of_o all_o goodness_n of_o he_o what_o can_v be_v speak_v but_o all_o good_a be_v it_o not_o write_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o create_v he_o see_v that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o have_v make_v man_n to_o his_o own_o image_n the_o best_a

his_o good_a god_n give_v he_o that_o there_o may_v nothing_o but_o good_a come_v to_o he_o but_o we_o may_v well_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o good_a but_o god_n it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n speak_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n when_o the_o pharisee_n call_v he_o good_a master_n his_o answer_n be_v why_o call_v you_o i_o good_a there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n and_o if_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n will_v not_o be_v call_v good_a how_o can_v this_o title_n of_o good_a be_v proper_o give_v to_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n though_o it_o please_v he_o to_o say_v that_o he_o see_v every_o thing_n be_v good_a that_o he_o create_v yet_o it_o be_v good_a only_o respective_o as_o it_o come_v from_o his_o goodness_n and_o only_o effective_o as_o may_v serve_v to_o his_o glory_n for_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v participate_v with_o the_o great_a blessing_n of_o god_n which_o from_o his_o goodness_n proceed_v can_v be_v but_o good_a yet_o only_o and_o altogether_o in_o god_n do_v abide_v and_o dwell_v that_o pure_a essence_n &_o eternal_a goodness_n which_o may_v only_o make_v he_o be_v just_o and_o proper_o call_v good_a now_o all_o goodness_n be_v in_o he_o and_o of_o he_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v or_o may_v be_v in_o any_o part_n think_v or_o call_v good_a must_v be_v only_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n the_o only_a giver_n of_o the_o same_o and_o whatsoever_o good_a we_o receive_v be_v thing_n good_a &_o all_o the_o good_a that_o he_o create_v for_o the_o good_a

to_o enjoy_v the_o good_a that_o by_o faith_n he_o be_v assure_v to_o come_v unto_o now_o as_o he_o have_v elect_v man_n only_o and_o above_o all_o his_o creature_n to_o this_o knowledge_n of_o good_a which_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v choose_v out_o of_o all_o his_o blessing_n to_o bestow_v only_o upon_o man_n so_o do_v he_o withal_o give_v he_o knowledge_n how_o to_o come_v to_o the_o possession_n
