god_n be_v most_o great_a and_o precious_a or_o no_o with_o us._n and_o that_o will_v appear_v first_o by_o our_o zeal_n and_o forwardness_n to_o hear_v god_n word_n if_o we_o esteem_v it_o precious_a

3.12.13_o and_o therefore_o that_o his_o promise_n be_v not_o always_o free_a to_o such_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o lord_n give_v the_o power_n to_o solomon_n to_o make_v that_o choice_n so_o that_o

obedience_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o original_n of_o such_o a_o promise_n be_v mere_o of_o grace_n because_o he_o of_o his_o mercy_n enable_v we_o to_o do_v that_o for_o the_o which_o he_o be_v move_v to_o make_v a_o promise_n unto_o we_o and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mercy_n use_v use_v as_o this_o make_v against_o merit-monger_n which_o ascribe_v so_o much_o to_o their_o desert_n so_o it_o serve_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n he_o make_v most_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n free_o and_o for_o nothing_o if_o man_n make_v promise_n common_o their_o promise_n be_v mercenary_a but_o god_n promise_n be_v free_a use_v use_v second_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o encourage_v all_o such_o as_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o their_o own_o unworthiness_n to_o stir_v up_o themselves_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o god_n promise_n they_o be_v free_a they_o be_v of_o gift_n they_o go_v not_o by_o desert_n therefore_o receive_v they_o as_o a_o free_a gift_n offer_v to_o a_o unworthy_a person_n that_o by_o they_o you_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n by_o divine_a nature_n here_o be_v not_o mean_v the_o very_a essence_n of_o god_n for_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o lord_n shall_v dwell_v essential_o in_o so_o narrow_a a_o compass_n as_o our_o heart_n consider_v that_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v he_o 2._o chron._n 2.6_o but_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o divine_a nature_n the_o image_n of_o god_n or_o true_a save_a grace_n which_o be_v call_v the_o divine_a nature_n first_o because_o it_o be_v beget_v of_o god_n in_o the_o elect_a john_n 1.13_o second_o because_o it_o be_v like_a unto_o he_o as_o be_v indeed_o his_o own_o image_n genesis_n 1.26_o the_o divine_a nature_n hence_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n save_v grace_n come_v the_o near_a of_o all_o other_o thing_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n himself_o it_o be_v call_v here_o the_o divine_a nature_n itself_o from_o the_o near_a likeness_n which_o it_o have_v unto_o it_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v sometime_o term_v god_n as_o in_o 1._o john_n 4.15_o god_n dwell_v in_o he_o that_o be_v save_v grace_n sometime_o it_o be_v call_v christ_n as_o in_o colos_n 1.27_o christ_n in_o you_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v grace_n in_o you_o sometime_o also_o it_o be_v style_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o in_o 1._o corinth_n 6.19_o know_v you_o not_o that_o your_o body_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v in_o you_o that_o be_v of_o grace_n which_o be_v in_o you_o now_o why_o be_v grace_n call_v god_n and_o christ_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o mere_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o lively_a resemblance_n which_o it_o have_v of_o god_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n reason_n reason_n and_o indeed_o save_v grace_n may_v true_o be_v say_v to_o come_v the_o near_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n according_a to_o that_o in_o proverb_n 4.7_o wisdom_n be_v the_o chief_a thing_n second_o because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o pure_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n more_o pure_a than_o alabaster_n than_o gold_n yea_o then_o the_o heaven_n themselves_o three_o because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o powerful_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n next_o unto_o god_n himself_o it_o be_v able_a to_o make_v of_o a_o wolf_n a_o lamb_n as_o we_o see_v in_o paul_n it_o be_v able_a to_o conquer_v the_o world_n for_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n which_o overcome_v the_o world_n even_o our_o faith_n 1._o john_n 5.4_o yea_o it_o be_v able_a to_o quench_v all_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o wicked_a one_o ephes_n 6.16_o last_o it_o be_v able_a to_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n when_o all_o the_o world_n can_v help_v hebr._n 4.16_o therefore_o grace_n come_v the_o near_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n use_v use_v which_o serve_v to_o descry_v the_o folly_n of_o papist_n and_o other_o idolater_n which_o think_v to_o resemble_v god_n in_o bodily_a shape_n as_o though_o a_o dumb_a idol_n be_v the_o near_a of_o all_o other_o thing_n to_o god_n nature_n but_o let_v such_o idiot_n remember_v that_o not_o stone_n or_o wood_n or_o gold_n but_o grace_n and_o virtue_n come_v the_o near_a to_o god_n image_n use_v use_v second_o we_o may_v here_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n in_o that_o he_o will_v make_v our_o first_o parent_n believe_v that_o the_o way_n to_o become_v like_a to_o god_n be_v to_o violate_v and_o break_v god_n commandment_n genesis_n 3.5_o whereas_o indeed_o the_o way_n to_o be_v like_o god_n be_v to_o take_v the_o quite_o contrary_a course_n use_v use_v three_o this_o show_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o such_o which_o scoff_n at_o grace_n and_o persecute_v it_o be_v very_o fearful_a for_o in_o this_o they_o scoff_n at_o and_o persecute_v the_o divine_a nature_n but_o let_v such_o remember_v the_o practice_n of_o ishmael_n and_o what_o befall_v he_o for_o the_o like_a sin_n genesis_n 21.9.10_o use_v use_v four_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o esteem_v of_o god_n child_n which_o be_v endue_v with_o this_o divine_a nature_n and_o we_o must_v labour_v for_o the_o same_o image_n which_o we_o see_v in_o they_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o labour_a for_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o divine_a nature_n whereby_o whence_o observe_v we_o that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n the_o word_n but_o especial_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o beget_v this_o divine_a nature_n of_o save_v grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o elect_a thus_o say_v james_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n &_o eighteen_o verse_n of_o his_o own_o will_n beget_v he_o
