what_o we_o have_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n we_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a that_o our_o heart_n and_o life_n shall_v come_v short_a in_o spiritualness_n and_o heavenliness_n of_o any_o that_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n see_v in_o the_o 119._o psalm_n how_o you_o find_v david_n heart_n take_v and_o ravish_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n oh_o how_o sweet_a be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o he_o sweet_a than_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o honey_n comb_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a there_o the_o law_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n now_o you_o shall_v consider_v this_o what_o part_n of_o god_n word_n have_v david_n there_o he_o have_v not_o many_o of_o the_o prophecy_n he_o have_v but_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o some_o other_o book_n the_o book_n of_o job_n be_v then_o and_o some_o of_o the_o chronicle_n some_o part_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o book_n of_o judge_n but_o most_o part_n of_o the_o king_n he_o can_v not_o have_v for_o he_o be_v the_o second_o king_n therefore_o what_o little_a part_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v write_v at_o that_o time_n and_o yet_o how_o sweet_a be_v the_o word_n to_o he_o as_o sweet_a as_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o honey_n comb_n and_o how_o he_o do_v delight_n in_o it_o above_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o then_o for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n o_o how_o be_v he_o take_v with_o they_o though_o in_o comparison_n of_o we_o they_o be_v but_o carnal_a in_o the_o 84._o psalm_n he_o do_v envy_v the_o very_a bird_n that_o be_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n how_o aimable_fw-fr be_v thy_o court_n o_o lord_n say_v he_o now_o do_v but_o compare_v those_o scripture_n he_o have_v with_o these_o that_o we_o have_v the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o joshua_n and_o judge_n and_o job_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a scripture_n then_o extant_a and_o do_v but_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o particular_a the_o sermon_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o matthew_n to_o the_o eight_o so_o those_o remarkable_a place_n from_o the_o fourteen_o to_o the_o eighteen_o of_o john_n and_o so_o on_o o_o what_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v there_o let_v down_o among_o we_o what_o heavenly_a truth_n we_o have_v study_n and_o read_v over_o paul_n epistle_n which_o be_v several_a holy_a letter_n send_v from_o christ_n to_o his_o saint_n here_o on_o earth_n oh_o what_o spiritual_a transcendent_a truth_n what_o great_a mystery_n and_o depth_n of_o god_n be_v open_v and_o reveal_v there_o beyond_o what_o there_o be_v in_o genesis_n or_o exodus_fw-la or_o leviticus_n or_o number_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o than_o all_o the_o world_n and_o he_o profess_v he_o do_v meditate_v in_o it_o day_n and_o night_n now_o we_o have_v that_o word_n in_o two_o testament_n that_o do_v reveal_v abundance_n more_o of_o god_n in_o christ_n than_o ever_o he_o have_v and_o therefore_o our_o conversation_n shall_v rise_v high_o in_o holiness_n than_o the_o converstion_n of_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o be_v more_o

conversation_n to_o be_v such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n it_o must_v be_v suitable_a to_o what_o the_o gospel_n hold_v fo●●h_n unto_o you_o now_o this_o be_v a_o gre●t_a point_n and_o it_o will_v serve_v for_o two_o end_n first_o to_o hold_v forth_o unto_o you_o the_o principal_a thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n second_o to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v suit_v your_o conversation_n to_o

forth_o unto_o we_o the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n this_o be_v the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o god_n may_v declare_v what_o a_o infinite_a love_n he_o have_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n yea_o unto_o man_n rather_o than_o unto_o angel_n you_o know_v that_o scripture_n in_o john_n 3._o ●6_n so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o indeed_o that_o one_o verse_n have_v more_o of_o god_n in_o it_o than_o all_o creature_n in_o heaven_n earth_n the_o whole_a frame_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n have_v not_o so_o much_o of_o god_n in_o they_o as_o that_o one_o verse_n have_v so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v when_o he_o come_v to_o reveal_v the_o gospel_n i_o will_v have_v a_o way_n wherein_o it_o shall_v appear_v to_o man_n and_o angel_n for_o ever_o what_o the_o greatness_n of_o my_o love_n be_v unto_o these_o poor_a

of_o god_n in_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o comparision_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n reveal_v in_o the_o gosspel_n it_o be_v a_o little_a spark_n of_o fire_n in_o comparison_n of_o

fly_v out_o in_o comparison_n of_o all_o the_o heat_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o furnace_n so_o say_v he_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n in_o all_o the_o work_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v do_v be_v but_o as_o that_o one_o spark_n only_o except_v this_o of_o christ_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o mankind_n in_o christ_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o furnace_n there_o be_v burn_a love_n indeed_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o great_a scope_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o great_a aim_n of_o god_n the_o great_a
