confound_v and_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o spiritual_o and_o right_o and_o orderly_o and_o distinct_o plant_v in_o we_o or_o else_o we_o will_v be_v more_o holy_a and_o look_v on_o sin_n

the_o desire_n of_o the_o angel_n after_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o glorious_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n true_a it_o be_v for_o themselves_o they_o be_v not_o more_o save_v

knowledge_n as_o we_o say_v but_o this_o i_o will_v teach_v you_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v willing_a by_o the_o church_n that_o be_v by_o gospel_n preach_v by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n set_v

they_o be_v present_a here_o angel_n both_o good_a and_o bad_a angel_n that_o be_v certain_a wait_v upon_o the_o saint_n but_o also_o the_o evil_a angel_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n they_o desire_v to_o look_v into_o the_o gospel_n they_o do_v learn_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o gospel_n ordinance_n by_o preach_v for_o good_a and_o bad_a angel_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n by_o creation_n though_o some_o fall_v and_o other_o do_v not_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v hide_v from_o angel_n from_o good_a and_o evil_a angel_n and_o though_o they_o know_v diverse_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o their_o own_o happiness_n yet_o the_o glorious_a thing_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o new_a testament_n they_o be_v content_a to_o come_v down_o among_o we_o and_o hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o the_o ordinance_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v what_o sense_n angel_n have_v or_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v when_o we_o be_v go_v hence_o to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v learn_v from_o it_o use_v 1_o i_o think_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o general_a motive_n to_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o be_v a_o little_a more_o diligent_a and_o careful_a to_o gospel_n to_o be_v diligent_a hearer_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n hear_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o they_o be_v open_v to_o we_o if_o angel_n come_v down_o as_o it_o be_v and_o learn_v this_o wisdom_n by_o the_o gospel_n who_o be_v so_o great_a but_o he_o shall_v stoop_v to_o pry_v into_o these_o glorious_a mystery_n and_o if_o the_o devil_n though_o he_o learn_v it_o that_o he_o may_v the_o more_o dishonour_n god_n by_o it_o harken_v to_o every_o tittle_n and_o use_v of_o it_o and_o improve_v it_o how_o careful_a shall_v we_o be_v if_o the_o good_a angel_n learn_v though_o their_o salvation_n be_v not_o by_o it_o but_o only_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o mystery_n and_o beauty_n of_o it_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v i_o hearken_v who_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n it_o be_v for_o ever_o if_o the_o devil_n hearken_v to_o every_o doctrine_n and_o use_n that_o he_o may_v dishonour_v god_n and_o hinder_v my_o soul_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v i_o hearken_v that_o i_o may_v honour_v god_n and_o resist_v the_o devil_n and_o save_v my_o soul_n use_v 2_o second_o learn_v hence_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o watchfulness_n against_o satan_n true_o the_o devil_n satan_n to_o learn_v caution_n against_o satan_n be_v a_o gross_a fool_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n i_o mean_v there_o be_v but_o little_o preach_v therefore_o he_o have_v but_o little_a knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n grow_v clear_a so_o the_o devil_n grow_v wise_a and_o he_o have_v lay_v aside_o all_o the_o temptation_n that_o he_o have_v a_o hundred_o year_n ago_o for_o he_o can_v never_o catch_v man_n that_o way_n for_o the_o generality_n and_o now_o he_o have_v get_v spiritual_a temptation_n for_o as_o the_o gospel_n break_v out_o for_o the_o enlighten_v of_o the_o saint_n to_o bring_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o save_v their_o soul_n so_o the_o devil_n get_v more_o light_n and_o knowledge_n whereby_o he_o may_v more_o dishonour_n god_n and_o damnify_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n the_o devil_n be_v the_o same_o now_o as_o he_o be_v then_o to_o dishonour_n god_n and_o damn_v soul_n and_o the_o way_n general_o be_v the_o same_o to_o bring_v man_n to_o sin_n but_o for_o the_o special_a manner_n of_o it_o the_o devil_n drive_v a_o new_a trade_n nothing_o like_o as_o before_o before_o it_o be_v to_o invocate_v angel_n and_o dead_a saint_n that_o be_v gross_a now_o you_o think_v you_o be_v safe_a because_o these_o thing_n be_v go_v but_o the_o devil_n have_v get_v the_o spiritual_a knowledge_n of_o every_o lesson_n you_o hear_v and_o he_o know_v how_o to_o beat_v you_o with_o your_o own_o weapon_n the_o devil_n have_v temptation_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a now_o he_o bring_v man_n to_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o spiritual_a knowledge_n he_o hear_v precious_a thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o a_o intelligble_a man_n be_v much_o take_v with_o notion_n and_o the_o devil_n take_v he_o that_o way_n he_o see_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n break_v out_o and_o it_o be_v glorious_a and_o man_n be_v take_v with_o it_o therefore_o in_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n man_n shall_v swagger_v as_o the_o world_n do_v and_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v something_o like_o professor_n even_o to_o the_o world_n now_o they_o shall_v walk_v in_o all_o looseness_n and_o wantonness_n i_o say_v not_o that_o all_o do_v so_o but_o there_o be_v some_o and_o

by_o the_o state_n of_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v here_o lay_v down_o throughout_o the_o chapter_n for_o though_o we_o can_v tell_v you_o now_o of_o city_n and_o kingdom_n as_o the_o prophet_n do_v by_o revelation_n and_o vision_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o what_o be_v write_v be_v write_v for_o our_o instruction_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o example_n of_o his_o judgement_n that_o we_o

the_o condition_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o what_o be_v here_o say_v of_o it_o and_o about_o it_o into_o these_o head_n brief_o but_o first_o of_o all_o before_o i_o speak_v of_o jerusalem_n it-self_n you_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v among_o they_o which_o be_v lay_v down_o at_o verse_n 27._o i_o have_v set_v thou_o for_o a_o tower_n
