be_v able_a to_o give_v forth_o his_o beam_n of_o light_n unto_o all_o the_o world_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o christ_n will_v be_v as_o gracious_a and_o

and_o let_v he_o that_o be_v athirst_a come_v john_n 7.37_o in_o the_o last_o day_n the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o feast_n jesus_n stand_v and_o cry_v say_v if_o any_o man_n thirst_n let_v he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o drink_v now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n look_v into_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n which_o he_o speak_v from_o heaven_n he_o speak_v more_o than_o that_o and_o let_v he_o that_o be_v athirst_a come_v there_o be_v that_o and_o whosoever_o will_v let_v he_o take_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o here_o be_v more_o now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o i_o pray_v when_o do_v our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n give_v the_o glorious_a testimony_n of_o his_o condescend_v love_n unto_o his_o disciple_n 〈◊〉_d when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o the_o

lay_v aside_o his_o garment_n and_o take_v a_o towel_n and_o gird_v himself_o know_v that_o all_o power_n be_v give_v into_o his_o hand_n he_o give_v that_o reason_n he_o do_v thus_o condescend_v in_o this_o way_n of_o love_n know_v that_o all_o power_n be_v give_v into_o his_o hand_n now_o that_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n all_o power_n be_v give_v into_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o now_o certain_o he_o will_v be_v as_o gracious_a and_o communicative_a in_o his_o love_n and_o goodness_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o rather_o over_o and_o above_o sure_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o work_n and_o our_o duty_n to_o rejoice_v in_o this_o exaltment_n of_o christ_n though_o in_o some_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v to_o our_o debasement_n or_o present_a loss_n but_o than_o three_o how_o shall_v we_o do_v this_o why_o true_a love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n will_v enable_v we_o to_o do_v this_o it_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o personal_a exaltment_n of_o christ_n though_o it_o may_v be_v to_o our_o own_o present_a loss_n and_o abasement_n it_o be_v a_o sweet_a thing_n to_o the_o lover_n to_o suffer_v for_o the_o person_n love_v that_o be_v where_o love_v fix_v upon_o the_o person_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o benefit_n if_o love_n be_v fix_v upon_o the_o benefit_n it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o if_o upon_o the_o person_n it_o be_v so_o so_o if_o our_o love_n be_v fix_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n this_o love_n will_v enable_v we_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o exaltment_n of_o christ_n though_o it_o be_v in_o our_o own_o debasement_n christ_n rejoice_v in_o our_o exaltment_n though_o it_o be_v to_o his_o own_o debasement_n why_o because_o he_o love_v our_o person_n who_o love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o so_o that_o true_a love_n unto_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n will_v make_v we_o rejoice_v in_o his_o exaltment_n though_o it_o may_v be_v to_o our_o own_o present_a debasement_n you_o will_v say_v then_o how_o few_o be_v there_o that_o do_v love_n christ_n indeed_o chr●st_n be_v hard●y_o love_v for_o christ_n christ_n himself_o be_v hardly_o l●ved_a f●r_n himself_o to_o love_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n how_o few_o be_v there_o that_o do_v that_o and_o so_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o four_o thing_n four_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o christ_n own_o disciple_n may_v be_v want_v in_o their_o love_n to_o christ_n person_n it_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a this_o if_o a_o prince_n or_o nobleman_n shall_v take_v a_o poor_a woman_n a_o beggar_n off_o the_o dunghill_n and_o marry_v she_o it_o will_v be_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o she_o shall_v not_o love_v his_o person_n if_o he_o shall_v not_o love_v she_o you_o will_v not_o think_v it_o so_o strange_a if_o boaz_n shall_v not_o love_v ruth_n you_o will_v not_o have_v think_v it_o so_o strange_a but_o that_o ruth_n shall_v not_o love_v the_o person_n of_o boaz_n this_o may_v seem_v strange_a so_o now_o such_o beggar_n be_v we_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o take_v we_o off_o the_o dunghill_n and_o say_v now_o be_v a_o time_n of_o love_n if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v not_o love_v our_o person_n it_o will_v not_o seem_v so_o strange_a but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v want_v in_o our_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v strange_a yea_o friend_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o christ_n own_o disciple_n may_v be_v want_v in_o their_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n they_o may_v be_v want_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o love_n to_o christ_n person_n they_o may_v be_v

of_o christ_n the_o best_a man_n may_v be_v want_v in_o their_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n to_o make_v this_o out_o a_o little_a to_o you_o 1._o first_o of_o all_o the_o more_o we_o

peter_n love_v christ_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o and_o yet_o want_v in_o his_o love_n by_o deny_v of_o christ_n good_a man_n may_v be_v want_v in_o thei●_n zeal_n for_o christ_n why_o but_o because_o they_o be_v want_v in_o their_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n 3._o the_o more_o a_o man_n love_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n th●_n more_o he_o do_v love_v the_o servant_n the_o people_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o good_a speech_n of_o jerom_n when_o there_o be_v 〈◊〉_d difference_n between_o austin_n and_o he_o i_o love_v chri●●_n dwell_v in_o austin_n even_o at_o that_o very_a time_n when_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o certain_o if_o we_o love_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n we_o shall_v love_v christ_n dwell_v in_o the_o saint_n but_o now_o do_v it_o we_o find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n that_o even_o in_o good_a people_n their_o love_n to_o the_o saint_n be_v want_v why_o but_o because_o their_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n be_v want_v 4._o the_o more_o a_o man_n do_v love_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n the_o more_o he_o will_v be_v speak_v and_o think_v of_o he_o love_n be_v busy_v and_o exercise_v in_o

by_o our_o experience_n can_v we_o go_v a_o whole_a day_n together_o and_o have_v no_o thought_n of_o christ_n do_v we_o sit_v down_o at_o our_o meal_n frequent_o and_o not_o one_o word_n of_o christ_n good_a conference_n where_o be_v thou_o good_a and_o holy_a conference_n where_o be_v come_v to_o professor_n table_n one_o dish_n after_o another_o one_o cup_n of_o wine_n after_o another_o but_o nothing_o of_o christ_n it_o be_v go_v it_o be_v go_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n but_o because_o we_o be_v want_v in_o our_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n certain_o if_o we_o be_v not_o want_v in_o our_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n we_o will_v be_v think_v more_o of_o he_o and_o speak_v more_o of_o he_o 5._o the_o more_o we_o love_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n the_o more_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o we_o may_v be_v with_o

child_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o a_o child_n for_o he_o can_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o child_n so_o that_o god_n give_v he_o a_o child_n in_o a_o way_n of_o prevent_a mercy_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o answer_n of_o prayer_n too_o so_o here_o in_o the_o text_n thou_o have_v give_v he_o his_o heart_n desire_v and_o have_v not_o withheld_a the_o request_n of_o his_o lip_n for_o thou_o have_v prevent_v he_o with_o the_o blessing_n of_o thy_o goodness_n why_o why_o although_o the_o mercy_n receive_v may_v be_v a_o answer_n of_o prayer_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o body_n of_o it_o yet_o it_o may_v come_v in_o a_o way_n of_o prevent_a love_n as_o to_o the_o moreness_n of_o it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o david_n so_o with_o hezekiah_n and_o so_o with_o zacharias_n that_o be_v a_o four_o thing_n god_n do_v sometime_o prevent_v as_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o prayer_n give_v in_o mercy_n beyond_o all_o our_o prayer_n 5._o and_o then_o five_o as_o god_n do_v prevent_v we_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o prayer_n so_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o believe_a thought_n or_o expectance_n when_o the_o lord_n turn_v the_o captivity_n of_o zion_n we_o be_v like_o they_o that_o dream_v why_o be_v we_o as_o they_o that_o dream_v why_o true_o we_o never_o look_v for_o it_o nor_o expect_v it_o we_o do_v not_o think_v on_o it_o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o our_o expectation_n thus_o god_n do_v prevent_v we_o sometime_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o expectance_n to_o our_o faith_n and_o to_o our_o thought_n 6._o as_o he_o thus_o prevent_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n in_o reference_n to_o our_o thought_n and_o faith_n and_o expectance_n so_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o own_o promise_n and_o the_o condition_n thereof_o if_o i_o promise_v a_o man_n a_o kindness_n upon_o a_o condition_n and_o do_v that_o kindness_n for_o he_o when_o he_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n than_o i_o prevent_v he_o with_o kindness_n now_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v many_o a_o mercy_n upon_o a_o condition_n and_o yet_o give_v the_o mercy_n when_o we_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n i_o say_v say_v david_n i_o will_v confess_v my_o sin_n and_o thou_o lord_n forgave_v my_o iniquity_n lord_n thou_o have_v make_v a_o promise_n of_o forgiveness_n upon_o condition_n of_o our_o confession_n and_o humiliation_n i_o do_v not_o go_v so_o far_o i_o do_v but_o say_v i_o will_v confess_v my_o sin_n and_o thou_o prevented'_v i_o with_o thy_o forgive_a love_n thus_o now_o you_o see_v how_o and_o in_o what_o respect_v god_n do_v prevent_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n he_o do_v prevent_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n in_o reference_n to_o our_o deserve_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o own_o proceed_n of_o common_a providence_n in_o reference_n to_o all_o our_o prayer_n in_o reference_n to_o our_o faith_n and_o expectance_n in_o reference_n to_o our_o preparedness_n and_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o own_o promise_n and_o the_o condition_n thereof_o that_o be_v the_o second_o iii_o well_o but_o then_o three_o what_o be_v those_o choice_a blessing_n wherewith_o god_n will_v prevent_v his_o people_n what_o not_o but_o the_o great_a the_o blessing_n be_v the_o more_o it_o be_v steep_v in_o prevent_v love_n there_o be_v outward_a blessing_n and_o there_o be_v inward_a blessing_n there_o be_v temporal_a blessing_n and_o there_o be_v eternal_a
