we_o provoke_v not_o god_n now_o but_o attend_v upon_o the_o word_n more_o than_o ever_o we_o do_v last_o do_v god_n say_v to_o we_o we_o shall_v not_o seek_v he_o in_o vain_a let_v not_o god_n call_v

i_o be_o or_o have_v may_v extend_v to_o the_o saint_n in_o earth_n even_o the_o excellent_a in_o who_o be_v all_o my_o delight_n thus_o you_o have_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o

that_o be_v on_o earth_n the_o excellent_a the_o point_n be_v this_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n those_o that_o be_v godly_a be_v the_o excellent_a in_o the_o earth_n then_o second_o from_o this_o that_o he_o say_v in_o who_o be_v all_o my_o delight_n observe_v this_o that_o a_o gracious_a heart_n take_v the_o most_o contentment_n in_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n he_o be_v much_o delight_v in_o they_o the_o first_o be_v but_o a_o preparation_n to_o the_o second_o therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v it_o over_o brief_o they_o be_v the_o excellent_a in_o the_o earth_n therefore_o my_o delight_n be_v in_o they_o they_o be_v the_o excellent_a in_o the_o earth_n let_v they_o be_v what_o they_o will_v in_o regard_n of_o their_o outward_a meanness_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o excellency_n in_o they_o

the_o judgement_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v such_o that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o they_o i_o remember_v chrysostome_n have_v this_o interpretation_n of_o the_o phrase_n they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v worth_a more_o than_o all_o the_o world_n more_o than_o many_o thousand_o of_o the_o world_n one_o of_o they_o be_v worth_a more_o than_o all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n beside_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n so_o one_o saint_n of_o god_n though_o never_o so_o mean_a one_o poor_a youth_n one_o servant_n that_o be_v true_o gracious_a be_v worth_n more_o than_o all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n beside_o that_o be_v not_o so_o all_o the_o monarch_n and_o prince_n on_o earth_n have_v not_o that_o excellency_n in_o they_o that_o one_o poor_a child_n or_o servant_n have_v that_o be_v gracious_a but_o the_o ordinary_a interpretation_n
be_v thus_o they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v that_o excellency_n as_o that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o enjoy_v they_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o their_o presence_n that_o they_o shall_v so_o much_o as_o live_v among_o they_o they_o be_v rather_o fit_a to_o be_v set_v as_o star_n in_o heaven_n and_o be_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o glory_n the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o they_o but_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o saint_n that_o make_v they_o the_o excellent_a in_o the_o earth_n the_o saint_n that_o be_v the_o excellent_a the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n signify_v the_o magnificent_a one_o those_o that_o have_v magnificent_a spirit_n and_o be_v exceed_o glorious_a there_o be_v this_o in_o they_o that_o i_o may_v brief_o pass_v over_o this_o first_o they_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o excellent_a on_o earth_n the_o image_n of_o god_n make_v they_o to_o resemble_v god_n in_o that_o which_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o height_n of_o god_n excellency_n though_o it_o be_v true_a whatsoever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v god_n himself_o yet_o we_o conceive_v of_o god_n according_a to_o our_o manner_n there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n that_o appear_v most_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o that_o expression_n because_o grace_n be_v call_v the_o image_n of_o god_n now_o when_o we_o draw_v the_o image_n of_o a_o thing_n we_o draw_v it_o as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a excellency_n of_o that_o thing_n if_o i_o will_v draw_v the_o image_n of_o a_o man_n i_o do_v not_o draw_v the_o likeness_n of_o a_o piece_n of_o flesh_n a_o beast_n have_v that_o as_o well_o as_o a_o man_n or_o i_o do_v not_o draw_v foot_n or_o leg_n or_o the_o back_n part_n of_o a_o man_n but_o when_o the_o image_n of_o a_o man_n be_v draw_v there_o be_v his_o face_n draw_v that_o be_v the_o excellent_a part_n and_o there_o we_o endeavour_v to_o express_v his_o life_n and_o spirit_n as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v that_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a part_n and_o though_o the_o spirit_n can_v be_v draw_v there_o can_v be_v no_o picture_n of_o it_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v show_v most_o in_o the_o face_n that_o be_v as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v go_v that_o be_v draw_v there_o so_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v that_o wherein_o the_o creature_n resemble_v god_n in_o height_n of_o excellency_n and_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o every_o resemblance_n of_o god_n that_o be_v god_n image_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o set_v out_o some_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o they_o be_v but_o call_v god_n footstep_n or_o his_o backpart_n all_o the_o resemblance_n of_o god_n in_o his_o creature_n and_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n that_o we_o see_v in_o the_o creature_n they_o be_v all_o but_o his_o footstep_n and_o backpart_n they_o be_v not_o his_o image_n why_o because_o they_o do_v not_o resemble_v god_n in_o that_o which_o he_o have_v set_v out_o to_o we_o to_o be_v the_o height_n of_o his_o glory_n what_o be_v that_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o height_n of_o his_o excellency_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o god_n himself_o holy_a and_o reverend_a be_v his_o name_n god_n name_n come_v to_o be_v reverend_a by_o holiness_n be_v it_o not_o for_o his_o holiness_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o separate_v they_o his_o name_n will_v not_o be_v reverend_a therefore_o when_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n glorify_v god_n for_o his_o chief_a excellency_n it_o be_v thus_o holy_a holy_a holy_a we_o find_v not_o in_o scripture_n any_o of_o god_n attribute_n thrice_o repeat_v wise_a wise_a wise_a or_o almighty_a almighty_a almighty_a but_o holy_a holy_a holy_a because_o the_o excellency_n of_o god_n consist_v chief_o in_o that_o now_o because_o where_o grace_n be_v in_o the_o creature_n resemble_v this_o holiness_n of_o god_n there_o be_v that_o principle_n whereby_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o act_v as_o god_n himself_o act_v for_o that_o be_v holiness_n the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o his_o own_o end_n in_o all_o thing_n suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n so_o when_o the_o

therefore_o the_o scripture_n express_v grace_n by_o these_o 4._o thing_n as_o the_o image_n of_o god_n the_o life_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o divine_a nature_n there_o be_v these_o 4._o expression_n for_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n the_o image_n of_o god_n it_o resemble_v god_n in_o his_o excellency_n the_o life_n of_o god_n himself_o ephes_n 4_o alienate_v from_o the_o
