unto_o you_o the_o power_n and_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o his_o majesty_n the_o effect_n of_o this_o sermon_n make_v deep_a impression_n upon_o peter_n

be_v from_o that_o testimony_n the_o spirit_n give_v in_o your_o heart_n to_o those_o fundamental_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v jesus_n christ_n and_o hence_o do_v certain_o arise_v the_o conversion_n of_o all_o the_o sinner_n that_o be_v ever_o bring_v home_o to_o christ._n you_o may_v think_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o miserable_a state_n of_o man_n by_o nature_n of_o the_o only_a way_n of_o redemption_n by_o christ_n the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n repentance_n and_o self-denial_n be_v all_o of_o they_o but_o common_a thing_n which_o you_o have_v hear_v over_o again_o and_o again_o and_o be_v cloy_v with_o the_o very_a sound_n of_o they_o i_o say_v these_o and_o such_o like_a truth_n be_v the_o only_o convert_v truth_n and_o we_o must_v hold_v man_n to_o they_o till_o god_n do_v work_v by_o they_o upon_o their_o heart_n they_o be_v indeed_o easy_a word_n but_o they_o be_v hard_a thing_n to_o receive_v and_o practice_v when_o god_n bring_v our_o soul_n under_o the_o power_n of_o these_o truth_n 199.129_o how_o wonderful_a be_v they_o then_o how_o full_a of_o matter_n those_o who_o be_v convert_v do_v admire_v those_o truth_n most_o which_o before_o

as_o their_o righteousness_n and_o life_n these_o truth_n do_v find_v they_o work_v enough_o now_o though_o before_o they_o be_v unconcern_v in_o they_o and_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v insist_v upon_o you_o see_v the_o old_a apostolic_a way_n of_o preach_v be_v in_o all_o plainness_n and_o simplicity_n to_o propound_v gospel-truths_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o the_o people_n and_o to_o commend_v they_o to_o their_o belief_n upon_o the_o bear_n credit_n of_o divine_a testimony_n till_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v they_o know_v the_o word_n have_v all_o its_o

they_o often_o inculcate_v and_o keep_v in_o their_o remembrance_n tell_v they_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o belief_n of_o such_o principle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o application_n they_o make_v and_o here_o be_v scope_n enough_o for_o exhortation_n to_o the_o people_n but_o now_o a-days_o too_o too_o many_o do_v lay_v aside_o their_o best_a argument_n which_o be_v to_o ground_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o write_a word_n upon_o divine_a testimony_n and_o the_o whole_a efficacy_n of_o the_o word_n preach_v upon_o the_o promise_n of_o a_o divine_a concurrence_n which_o god_n have_v
