lord_n do_v not_o proceed_v according_a to_o the_o observation_n that_o you_o make_v of_o you_o self_n but_o according_a to_o the_o observation_n that_o he_o make_v of_o you_o if_o god_n can_v spy_v a_o little_a grace_n in_o any_o heart_n god_n will_v look_v after_o that_o heart_n it_o be_v the_o least_o grain_n that_o god_n observe_v that_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o this_o promise_n yet_o say_v he_o shall_v not_o the_o least_o grain_n fall_v upon_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o observation_n i_o shall_v only_o give_v you_o some_o few_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o then_o make_v some_o improvement_n quest_n you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o then_o why_o or_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o such_o special_a care_n be_v take_v of_o such_o inconsiderable_a christian_n one_o who_o minister_v it_o may_v be_v make_v nothing_o of_o one_o who_o private_a christian_n disregard_n yet_o god_n spy_v a_o little_a grace_n in_o he_o we_o it_o may_v be_v be_v ready_a to_o think_v it_o will_v be_v no_o great_a matter_n to_o lose_v such_o a_o little_a grain_n as_o this_o no_o great_a matter_n if_o the_o devil_n shall_v hurry_v such_o a_o one_o into_o such_o sin_n no_o great_a matter_n if_o that_o affliction_n sweep_v away_o and_o such_o a_o professor_n from_o the_o ordinance_n and_o from_o communion_n &_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o his_o own_o appointment_n but_o my_o friend_n here_o be_v the_o case_n the_o lord_n he_o observe_v what_o there_o be_v within_o and_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o act_v nor_o carry_v it_o either_o under_o general_n or_o particular_a judgement_n according_a to_o our_o observation_n or_o sense_n but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o observation_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v grace_n though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o least_o degree_n if_o there_o be_v grace_n though_o under_o very_o great_a disadvantage_n and_o under_o great_a discouragement_n yet_o a_o all-searching_a eye_n can_v espy_v a_o grain_n of_o corn_n in_o a_o heap_n of_o chaff_n it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o chaff_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o vanity_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o earthliness_n which_o do_v not_o commend_v thou_o before_o man_n but_o rather_o discommend_v thou_o before_o god_n and_o man_n but_o little_a grace_n in_o thy_o life_n little_a in_o thy_o prayer_n little_a in_o thy_o heart_n little_a in_o thy_o understanding_n ay_o but_o if_o god_n espy_v a_o little_a grace_n under_o all_o this_o rubbish_n a_o little_a grain_n a_o grain_n of_o the_o least_o size_n under_o all_o this_o heap_n of_o chaff_n and_o rubbish_n the_o lord_n will_v take_v care_n of_o this_o yet_o say_v he_o shall_v not_o the_o least_o grain_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n but_o whence_o be_v all_o this_o kindness_n ans_fw-fr i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o this_o in_o these_o follow_a proposition_n reas_n 1_o a_o little_a grace_n though_o never_o so_o little_a be_v distinguish_v grace_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a though_o never_o so_o much_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v at_o first_o work_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o thy_o heart_n than_o he_o make_v a_o personal_a difference_n between_o thou_o and_o other_o and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o muchness_n of_o thy_o grace_n that_o give_v the_o essential_a distinction_n but_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o thy_o grace_n that_o distinguish_v thou_o from_o other_o i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o these_o 2_o branch_n 1._o first_o the_o least_o degree_n or_o the_o least_o grain_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o issue_n of_o god_n eternal_a distinguish_a kindness_n god_n from_o all_o eternity_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v do_v elect_v and_o choose_v thou_o to_o receive_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o grace_n in_o such_o a_o little_a proportion_n as_o well_o as_o another_o in_o a_o large_a measure_n and_o in_o a_o great_a proportion_n you_o be_v choose_v in_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1._o eph._n 4._o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v holy_a god_n do_v not_o only_o choose_v those_o that_o be_v enrich_v with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a grace_n those_o that_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy-ghost_n be_v not_o the_o only_a person_n that_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n &_o upon_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n but_o those_o that_o have_v receive_v though_o but_o their_o measure_n by_o scantling_n these_o be_v the_o person_n that_o god_n do_v from_o all_o eternity_n design_n by_o this_o little_a grace_n to_o make_v a_o personal_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o other_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o all_o the_o moralist_n in_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o world_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o this_o little_a grace_n amount_v to_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o of_o heart_n will_v appear_v before_o the_o throne_n and_o not_o a_o grain_n of_o grace_n in_o they_o &_o therefore_o my_o friend_n if_o so_o then_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v clear_a that_o either_o god_n must_v look_v after_o this_o little_a grace_n or_o must_v lose_v the_o resolve_n of_o his_o eternal_a love_n 2._o that_o this_o little_a have_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o whole_a jesus_n christ_n compare_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o heart_n unto_o a_o grain_n of_o must_v and_o seed_n which_o be_v the_o least_o of_o all_o grain_n why_o though_o it_o be_v so_o little_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o prolific_a or_o a_o seminal_a virtue_n and_o power_n in_o that_o little_a the_o least_o grain_n of_o corn_n be_v wheat_n it_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o wheat_n as_o well_o as_o the_o full_a so_o the_o least_o christian_n he_o that_o have_v the_o least_o grace_n have_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o christianity_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o have_v most_o who_o despise_v the_o day_n of_o small_a thing_n though_o you_o do_v yet_o god_n will_v not_o it_o may_v be_v you_o take_v little_a notice_n and_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a but_o yet_o in_o this_o little_a be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o whole_a if_o there_o be_v true_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v little_a yet_o here_o be_v all_o the_o truth_n of_o faith_n in_o a_o little_a faith_n and_o there_o be_v all_o the_o truth_n of_o love_n the_o whole_a nature_n of_o love_n in_o a_o little_a love_n and_o there_o be_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o humility_n though_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o little_a compass_n &_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o this_o little_a must_v be_v and_o be_v the_o care_n of_o god_n because_o the_o least_o grain_n have_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o so_o here_o be_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o grace_n even_o in_o the_o least_o grace_n therefore_o say_v god_n the_o house_n of_o israel_n this_o perverse_a this_o rebellivos_fw-la house_n this_o be_v a_o frothy_a and_o chaffy_a house_n of_o israel_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o lose_v the_o least_o grain_n yet_o not_o the_o least_o grain_n shall_v fall_v upon_o the_o earth_n 3._o that_o the_o least_o grace_n be_v under_o designment_n of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a nay_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o sir_n there_o be_v many_o christian_n that_o have_v most_o at_o first_o consider_v the_o proportion_n &_o there_o be_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n many_o christian_n who_o have_v least_o at_o first_o and_o yet_o afterward_o do_v attain_v to_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o those_o that_o have_v most_o at_o first_o god_n do_v not_o always_o do_v as_o we_o do_v or_o as_o man_n do_v many_o time_n to_o he_o that_o have_v most_o at_o first_o there_o be_v many_o time_n most_o give_v afterward_o but_o god_n do_v not_o always_o do_v so_o but_o he_o give_v sometime_o the_o great_a increase_n a_o increase_n like_o the_o increase_v of_o god_n even_o unto_o those_o in_o who_o at_o first_o he_o do_v create_v but_o little_a one_o can_v hardly_o perceive_v the_o flax_n smoke_v the_o other_o day_n and_o now_o it_o be_v all_o on_o a_o flame_n and_o take_v another_o christian_n &_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o fire_n be_v put_v into_o the_o flax_n the_o flax_n fall_v all_o into_o a_o smoke_n there_o be_v a_o great_a appearance_n a_o great_a heat_n at_o first_o but_o take_v he_o three_o or_o four_o or_o five_o year_n after_o &_o behold_v a_o damp_n again_o the_o man_n have_v great_a income_n at_o first_o but_o afterward_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o abatement_n &_o he_o that_o have_v least_o now_o have_v most_o so_o that_o i_o say_v consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o designment_n the_o unlimited_a designment_n that_o relate_v to_o those_o that_o have_v little_a may_v give_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n will_v look_v after_o the_o least_o grace_n why_o special_a grace_n will_v be_v charge_v with_o the_o preservation_n &_o security_n of_o the_o
