foolish_a and_o christ_n weak_a man_n uncalled_a they_o have_v low_a thought_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o you_o that_o be_v call_v christ_n be_v the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n you_o will_v have_v high_a thought_n of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o you_o be_v effectual_o call_v 4._o that_o man_n that_o be_v effectual_o call_v he_o shall_v be_v enable_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n 1_o cor._n 1.2_o to_o all_o in_o corinth_n call_v to_o be_v saint_n with_o all_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o the_o apostle_n join_v call_v to_o be_v saint_n with_o this_o phrase_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o show_v that_o whoever_o be_v effectual_o call_v to_o be_v a_o saint_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v enable_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n psal_n 27.8_o when_o thou_o say_v seek_v my_o face_n my_o heart_n say_v unto_o thou_o thy_o face_n lord_n will_v i_o seek_v hence_o you_o read_v act_v 9.11_o when_o ananias_n doubt_v whether_o paul_n be_v true_o call_v or_o no_o and_o jesus_n christ_n will_v convince_v ananias_n that_o he_o be_v true_o call_v what_o mean_n do_v he_o use_v verse_n 11._o do_v not_o suspect_v

for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o labour_n to_o have_v his_o peace_n make_v with_o i_o go_v to_o he_o for_o behold_v he_o pray_v and_o therefore_o all_o you_o that_o have_v not_o a_o spirit_n in_o any_o

shall_v be_v so_o vile_a a_o wretch_n before_o conversion_n as_o he_o have_v be_v thus_o be_v paul_n he_o speak_v with_o indignation_n against_o the_o sin_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o before_o his_o

the_o evil_n they_o have_v do_v they_o shall_v loathe_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o eye_n their_o indignation_n shall_v be_v so_o great_a against_o themselves_o that_o ever_o they_o shall_v be_v
