himself_o from_o you_o i_o appeal_v to_o you_o suppose_v you_o do_v so_o depend_v upon_o any_o one_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o your_o life_n lie_v at_o his_o mercy_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v but_o speak_v a_o word_n you_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n or_o woman_n will_v you_o not_o when_o you_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n come_v with_o fear_n lest_o you_o shall_v displease_v he_o will_v you_o say_v what_o do_v i_o care_v for_o he_o let_v he_o be_v please_v or_o not_o please_v what_o be_v that_o to_o i_o you_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o do_v it_o now_o shall_v we_o have_v less_o fear_n because_o he_o with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v be_v the_o lord_n if_o we_o have_v dependence_n upon_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n as_o we_o have_v upon_o god_n we_o will_v fear_v he_o now_o i_o say_v shall_v god_n have_v the_o less_o fear_n because_o he_o be_v a_o god_n he_o shall_v have_v the_o more_o fear_n fear_v he_o say_v christ_n that_o when_o he_o have_v kill_v the_o body_n can_v likewise_o kill_v the_o soul_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o christ_n put_v a_o i_o say_v upon_o that_o and_o true_o that_o soul_n begin_v to_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o salvation_n that_o begin_v to_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o great_a god_n to_o fall_v upon_o he_o most_o people_n in_o the_o world_n they_o walk_v bold_o and_o presumptuous_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n as_o if_o god_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o they_o and_o as_o if_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o god_n alas_o these_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o death_n and_o destruction_n but_o that_o soul_n that_o god_n have_v a_o purpose_n to_o save_v he_o begin_v to_o reveal_v his_o glory_n to_o it_o and_o to_o shine_v upon_o it_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o saul_n when_o he_o do_v shine_v from_o heaven_n in_o a_o glorious_a manner_n and_o stop_v he_o in_o his_o way_n when_o he_o be_v ride_v post_n unto_o hell_n and_o destruction_n he_o cry_v to_o he_o i_o be_o he_o that_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o be_o he_o that_o thou_o persecute_v then_o saul_n fall_v down_o tremble_v and_o say_v lord_n what_o wi●t_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v as_o if_o saul_n shall_v say_v lord_n i_o do_v not_o know_v thou_o but_o i_o see_v thou_o now_o to_o be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o dreadful_a god_n i_o see_v that_o i_o be_o in_o thy_o hand_n to_o save_v or_o destroy_v as_o thou_o please_v and_o therefore_o saul_n come_v with_o a_o tremble_a heart_n and_o cry_v to_o god_n lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v ay_o he_o be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n of_o salvation_n and_o so_o when_o a_o vile_a sinner_n that_o have_v go_v on_o without_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o shall_v now_o come_v in_o tremble_v behold_v the_o dreadfulness_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n that_o eternal_a first-beeing_a that_o it_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o and_o now_o shall_v have_v his_o fear_n strike_v into_o it_o this_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v stop_v in_o the_o way_n of_o destruction_n and_o it_o be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v very_o observable_a further_o in_o the_o text_n work_v out_o your_o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o that_o be_v a_o place_n that_o many_o people_n gross_o abuse_v they_o think_v they_o need_v do_v nothing_o but_o mark_v how_o bold_o do_v these_o people_n across_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o text_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v this_o argument_n do_v you_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n because_o god_n work_v and_o say_v they_o it_o must_v be_v god_n that_o work_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v do_v nothing_o oh_o if_o you_o shall_v wilful_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o provocation_n to_o god_n and_o upon_o your_o sickbed_n and_o deathbed_n cry_v oh_o lord_n that_o now_o thou_o will_v be_v please_v to_o work_v upon_o my_o soul_n as_o thou_o use_v to_o work_v upon_o those_o that_o thou_o intend_v to_o save_v if_o god_n shall_v make_v this_o answer_n thou_o a_o bold_a wretch_n that_o have_v provoke_v the_o eye_n of_o my_o glory_n all_o thy_o day_n and_o do_v thou_o now_o cry_v to_o i_o to_o do_v it_o if_o any_o of_o you_o do_v think_v that_o there_o will_v ever_o be_v a_o time_n when_o you_o will_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o save_v your_o soul_n you_o have_v need_n walk_v with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a before_o this_o god_n now_o i_o put_v this_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o every_o one_o here_o do_v thou_o not_o think_v o_o thou_o sinful_a soul_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n that_o thou_o shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o what_o course_n do_v thou_o take_v now_o beforehand_o be_v that_o course_n that_o thou_o take_v beforehand_o a_o continual_a provocation_n of_o god_n be_v that_o a_o good_a preparation_n to_o that_o time_n if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n that_o you_o live_v near_o though_o for_o the_o present_a you_o care_v not_o for_o he_o but_o slight_v he_o yet_o if_o you_o know_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n that_o you_o must_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o that_o man_n so_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v forsake_v you_o you_o will_v be_v a_o lose_a man_n will_v you_o dare_v to_o provoke_v that_o man_n we_o all_o know_v what_o need_n we_o shall_v have_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n walk_v with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a before_o he_o six_o further_n if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o soul_n save_v attend_v upon_o those_o mean_v that_o ●od_n have_v appoint_v to_o save_v soul_n wait_v at_o wisdom_n post_n now_o this_o one_o direction_n be_v clear_o show_v out_o of_o scripture_n will_v be_v enough_o to_o confute_v all_o that_o talk_v against_o do_v if_o god_n have_v appoint_v mean_n to_o save_v then_o sure_o he_o have_v appoint_v that_o we_o must_v attend_v upon_o those_o mean_n now_o in_o rom._n 1.16_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n now_o if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v you_o must_v bring_v your_o soul_n under_o that_o which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n because_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v use_v to_o put_v forth_o his_o almighty_a power_n for_o the_o save_n of_o soul_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n you_o can_v be_v save_v without_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o where_o be_v that_o put_v forth_o but_o in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o who_o be_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n reveal_v that_o be_v the_o arm_n of_o god_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o rom._n 10._o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o will_v say_v can_v we_o do_v any_o thing_n towards_o our_o salvation_n yes_o you_o may_v hear_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o we_o as_o creature_n to_o come_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v so_o than_o faith_n come_v by_o somewhat_o that_o we_o do_v but_o not_o so_o that_o god_n have_v tie_v himself_o to_o give_v faith_n to_o every_o one_o that_o hear_v i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v so_o but_o thus_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o hear_v shall_v be_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n in_o hear_v but_o hear_v be_v the_o way_n that_o god_n have_v set_v god_n indeed_o can_v convey_v faith_n from_o heaven_n to_o any_o soul_n immediate_o i_o but_o where_o there_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o do_v i_o expect_v that_o these_o creature_n that_o do_v intend_v that_o i_o shall_v work_v faith_n in_o they_o shall_v come_v and_o attend_v upon_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n christ_n can_v have_v open_v the_o blind_a man_n eye_n without_o spit_v upon_o the_o clay_n and_o anoint_v his_o face_n but_o he_o will_v have_v that_o do_v and_o that_o must_v be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o he_o will_v open_v his_o eye_n so_o if_o god_n will_v have_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o he_o will_v work_v faith_n in_o the_o soul_n take_v heed_n how_o this_o be_v neglect_v act._n 20.18_o paul_n be_v send_v to_o preach_v to_o what_o end_n to_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o to_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o

salvation_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o not_o distinct_o it_o may_v be_v after_o this_o beam_n of_o light_n be_v dart_v in_o god_n may_v come_v over_o again_o distinct_o and_o reveal_v to_o he_o his_o miserable_a estate_n by_o nature_n and_o humble_v he_o more_o and_o so_o he_o may_v have_v a_o little_a glimpse_n of_o this_o at_o one_o sermon_n and_o a_o little_a more_o at_o another_o but_o at_o that_o very_a instant_n there_o may_v be_v that_o let_v into_o the_o heart_n that_o possible_o may_v unite_v the_o heart_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o save_v it_o if_o it_o shall_v die_v at_o that_o present_a here_o be_v a_o wonderful_a work_n in_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 6_o and_o then_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o prophetical_a office_n in_o this_o he_o teach_v the_o heart_n no_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v teach_v the_o heart_n but_o jesus_n christ_n though_o man_n or_o angel_n may_v present_v truth_n before_o another_o man_n and_o so_o convince_v the_o understanding_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v be_v able_a to_o say_v thus_o i_o will_v so_o make_v know_v such_o a_o truth_n to_o this_o man_n or_o woman_n as_o i_o will_v gain_v his_o heart_n by_o it_o it_o shall_v transform_v his_o heart_n into_o the_o very_a image_n of_o that_o truth_n that_o i_o shall_v present_v unto_o he_o no_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v do_v it_o but_o christ_n he_o teach_v so_o as_o no_o man_n teach_v job_n 36.22_o behold_v god_n exalt_v by_o his_o power_n who_o teach_v like_o he_o now_o god_n teach_v by_o christ_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o his_o prophetical_a office_n man_n may_v come_v and_o tell_v we_o this_o and_o the_o other_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v do_v oh_o but_o who_o teach_v like_o jesus_n christ_n none_o teach_v the_o heart_n but_o jesus_n christ_n job_n 38.36_o who_o have_v put_v wisdom_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n or_o who_o have_v give_v understanding_n to_o the_o heart_n certain_o none_o live_v no_o angel_n can_v do_v it_o nor_o no_o man_n can_v do_v it_o it_o be_v only_a jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o his_o prophetical_a office_n it_o be_v he_o that_o teach_v and_o prevail_v with_o the_o heart_n when_o he_o come_v with_o truth_n therefore_o when_o you_o see_v people_n come_v to_o hear_v many_o truth_n and_o sit_v under_o a_o clear_a and_o distinct_a ministry_n that_o open_v many_o truth_n unto_o they_o it_o may_v be_v many_o will_v get_v brain-knowledge_n that_o shall_v make_v they_o to_o confer_v about_o those_o truth_n but_o yet_o not_o change_v you_o will_v say_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o that_o have_v so_o much_o knowledge_n live_v wicked_o why_o here_o be_v the_o ground_n jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v not_o exercise_v this_o prophetical_a office_n of_o his_o so_o far_o upon_o they_o to_o overpower_v their_o heart_n here_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o such_o man_n have_v have_v knowledge_n in_o the_o brain_n and_o yet_o live_v wicked_o a_o long_a time_n yet_o if_o they_o belong_v to_o christ_n at_o some_o other_o time_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v hear_v the_o very_a same_o truth_n they_o hear_v before_o and_o perhaps_o deliver_v in_o a_o weak_a manner_n than_o they_o have_v hear_v it_o and_o yet_o their_o heart_n shall_v be_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o wrought_v upon_o at_o that_o time_n than_o ever_o they_o be_v wrought_v upon_o before_o sometime_o a_o man_n come_v by_o accident_n into_o a_o congregation_n and_o hear_v a_o minister_n upon_o such_o a_o subject_n and_o it_o may_v be_v a_o minister_n by_o the_o by_o speak_v of_o something_o that_o he_o little_o think_v of_o perhaps_o before_o he_o come_v up_o and_o this_o man_n have_v hear_v the_o same_o truth_n large_o handle_v perhaps_o many_o tractate_v about_o it_o heretofore_o and_o his_o heart_n never_o touch_v but_o now_o hear_v it_o mention_v by_o the_o by_o his_o heart_n be_v mighty_o wrought_v upon_o and_o he_o go_v away_o and_o say_v very_o god_n be_v in_o this_o place_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o here_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o before_o man_n only_o speak_v to_o the_o ear_n this_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n in_o the_o prophetical_a office_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o thus_o shall_v we_o exercise_v our_o faith_n upon_o christ_n in_o this_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n look_v upon_o christ_n by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o great_a prophet_n of_o the_o church_n that_o teach_v so_o as_o no_o man_n teach_v that_o do_v not_o only_o speak_v unto_o the_o ear_n but_o speak_v unto_o the_o heart_n 7_o further_n chr●●t_o be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o prophetical_a office_n in_o this_o in_o that_o he_o teach_v immediate_o himself_n indeed_o he_o do_v teach_v mediate_o that_o be_v by_o his_o minister_n therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v act._n 1.1_o there_o st._n luke_n

do_v you_o not_o relate_v all_o that_o jesus_n do_v do_v and_o preach_v why_o christ_n be_v dead_a now_o but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o indeed_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v preach_v personal_o when_o he_o be_v here_o in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v but_o a_o beginning_n christ_n be_v to_o teach_v afterward_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o do_v partly_o by_o his_o minister_n that_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n he_o do_v exercise_v his_o prophetical_a office_n by_o they_o and_o by_o the_o way_n whensoever_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v any_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o reveal_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o you_o you_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o christ_n exercise_v his_o prophetical_a office_n in_o this_o

there_o expect_v jesus_n christ_n immediate_o to_o reveal_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n to_o those_o soul_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o election_n 8_o and_o then_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o

you_o must_v believe_v in_o he_o as_o christ_n that_o be_v anoint_v by_o the_o father_n king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n and_o when_o you_o exercise_v your_o faith_n upon_o he_o in_o all_o these_o three_o of_o his_o office_n than_o you_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v right_o to_o believe_v indeed_o but_o to_o go_v on_o the_o three_o sermon_n on_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n isaiah_n 9.6_o and_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v call_v wonderful_a christ_n wonderful_a in_o his_o miracle_n christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o the_o miracle_n that_o he_o wrought_v here_o in_o the_o world_n while_o he_o live_v in_o the_o second_o of_o act_n vers_fw-la 22._o you_o man_n of_o israel_n hear_v these_o word_n jesus_n of_o nazareth_n a_o man_n approve_v of_o god_n among_o you_o by_o miracle_n wonder_n and_o sign_n which_o god_n do_v by_o he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o you_o as_o you_o yourselves_o also_o know_v never_o do_v any_o come_v into_o the_o wo●ld_n to_o work_v such_o great_a miracle_n and_o
