marvel_n why_o christ_n do_v come_v and_o open_v the_o great_a sluice_n of_o god_n infinite_a grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o they_o as_o for_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n they_o have_v but_o a_o little_a of_o the_o drisling_n of_o god_n general_a bounty_n through_o some_o cranny_n but_o the_o floodgate_n of_o god_n grace_n be_v open_v in_o christ_n therefore_o till_o divine_a justice_n be_v satisfy_v there_o can_v be_v no_o further_o good_a for_o poor_a man_n but_o mere_o the_o fruit_n of_o god_n general_a bounty_n and_o patience_n there_o be_v some_o creature_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v leave_v to_o the_o course_n of_o justice_n they_o shall_v have_v what_o they_o earn_v and_o no_o more_o other_o there_o be_v who_o god_n have_v set_v his_o heart_n upon_o and_o whether_o they_o earn_v or_o no_o god_n intend_v eternal_a mercy_n to_o they_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o one_o be_v leave_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o other_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o the_o covenant_n come_v to_o undertake_v for_o he_o what_o he_o can_v do_v they_o who_o be_v not_o child_n and_o must_v not_o expect_v child_n portion_n as_o many_o of_o you_o rich_a man_n when_o you_o die_v you_o will_v leave_v your_o servant_n some_o legacy_n perhaps_o you_o will_v give_v every_o servant_n in_o your_o house_n 5._o l._n or_o so_o but_o when_o you_o come_v to_o your_o child_n to_o write_v in_o your_o will_n what_o such_o a_o son_n and_o such_o a_o daughter_n shall_v have_v that_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o business_n than_o 40_o s_o or_o 5._o l._n great_a thing_n you_o leave_v to_o they_o so_o the_o world_n may_v be_v divide_v between_o child_n and_o servant_n for_o though_o the_o truth_n be_v all_o man_n be_v at_o defiance_n with_o god_n yet_o god_n make_v they_o servant_n one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o there_o be_v some_o little_a legacy_n that_o servant_n shall_v have_v but_o they_o must_v not_o expect_v the_o child_n portion_n therefore_o they_o have_v it_o here_o but_o must_v not_o have_v it_o hereafter_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n if_o the_o prince_n give_v a_o gift_n unto_o any_o of_o his_o son_n the_o inheritance_n shall_v be_v his_o son_n but_o if_o to_o his_o servant_n than_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o till_o jubilee_n this_o be_v god_n law_n that_o if_o a_o prince_n give_v a_o gift_n to_o his_o son_n his_o son_n shall_v inherit_v it_o for_o ever_o but_o if_o he_o give_v it_o to_o a_o servant_n it_o shall_v continue_v with_o he_o but_o for_o a_o while_n here_o be_v the_o difference_n of_o god_n administration_n of_o all_o his_o gift_n he_o give_v some_o to_o servant_n and_o these_o shall_v continue_v for_o a_o time_n with_o in_o a_o little_a while_o all_o will_v be_v call_v for_o again_o all_o the_o good_a and_o all_o the_o comfort_n thou_o have_v god_n will_v call_v for_o it_o again_o but_o now_o that_o which_o he_o give_v to_o his_o child_n they_o shall_v have_v for_o ever_o their_o pleasure_n be_v durable_a and_o their_o mercy_n everlasting_a again_o the_o portion_n that_o the_o world_n have_v here_o come_v from_o god_n patience_n now_o there_o will_v be_v a_o end_n of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o patience_n in_o this_o world_n as_o there_o be_v some_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o saint_n that_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o exercise_n in_o this_o world_n so_o there_o be_v some_o attribute_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o they_o in_o that_o way_n that_o god_n do_v now_o manifest_v they_o in_o this_o life_n and_o that_o be_v the_o patience_n of_o god_n towards_o ungodly_a one_o now_o if_o they_o hold_v all_o upon_o patience_n mark_n they_o hold_v all_o upon_o patience_n when_o that_o expire_v than_o all_o their_o good_a be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o ungodly_a man_n shall_v have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n immediate_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v but_o this_o answer_n now_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n through_o creature_n and_o while_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n through_o creature_n they_o may_v get_v a_o great_a deal_n &_o may_v make_v shift_n for_o much_o but_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n immediate_o than_o it_o will_v be_v otherwise_o with_o they_o as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o hang-by_n at_o great_a man_n house_n perhaps_o when_o they_o come_v to_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o servant_n they_o get_v some_o bit_n and_o scrap_n and_o many_o thing_n of_o the_o servant_n but_o if_o they_o know_v they_o can_v have_v nothing_o but_o from_o the_o very_a hand_n of_o the_o knight_n or_o lord_n of_o the_o house_n himself_o than_o they_o will_v expect_v no_o great_a matter_n so_o wicked_a man_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v as_o hang-by_n and_o all_o that_o they_o have_v be_v but_o as_o scrap_n from_o the_o servant_n they_o have_v to_o deal_v only_o with_o creature_n they_o look_v no_o further_o but_o hereafter_o thing_n shall_v be_v settle_v another_o way_n and_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v weigh_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o a_o balance_n of_o justice_n &_o distribute_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n himself_o immediate_o and_o then_o thing_n will_v be_v carry_v after_o another_o manner_n the_o lord_n himself_o will_v come_v to_o dispose_v of_o thing_n then_o it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o a_o german_a divine_a though_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o live_v very_o innocent_o when_o he_o lie_v upon_o his_o sick_a bed_n and_o apprehend_v death_n he_o be_v in_o great_a terror_n of_o spirit_n mighty_o trouble_v and_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n come_v to_o he_o &_o ask_v he_o why_o shall_v you_o be_v so_o trouble_v that_o have_v live_v so_o good_a a_o life_n as_o you_o have_v do_v this_o be_v his_o answer_n the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v one_o and_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n be_v another_o i_o have_v now_o to_o deal_v with_o god_n it_o be_v true_a i_o live_v thus_o before_o man_n and_o man_n give_v their_o verdict_n of_o i_o as_o good_a and_o think_v i_o be_v in_o a_o good_a condition_n but_o o_o i_o be_o now_o to_o go_v to_o god_n and_o to_o deal_v immediate_o with_o he_o and_o god_n judgement_n and_o man_n judgement_n be_v different_a thing_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o weigh_v all_o man_n portion_n out_o as_o it_o will_v be_v than_o so_o much_o righteousness_n so_o much_o happiness_n you_o will_v say_v then_o lord_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o all_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o the_o menstruous_a cloth_n i_o but_o for_o the_o saint_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v put_v into_o one_o scoale_n and_o their_o portion_n into_o the_o other_o and_o their_o portion_n will_v be_v weigh_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n now_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o god_n thou_o must_v come_v to_o the_o scoale_n and_o thou_o will_v put_v in_o thy_o good_a serving_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o come_n to_o church_n and_o some_o good_a civil_a action_n and_o moral_a thing_n thou_o have_v do_v thou_o will_v put_v they_o in_o the_o scoale_n god_n will_v say_v that_o thou_o have_v have_v already_o weigh_v down_o all_o those_o have_v thou_o nothing_o to_o put_v into_o the_o scoale_n but_o this_o thou_o have_v have_v thy_o reward_n already_o for_o all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o then_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o put_v into_o the_o scoale_n but_o this_o thou_o be_v undo_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o for_o
