shall_v come_v if_o you_o be_v not_o of_o that_o number_n you_o may_v never_o come_v to_o i_o and_o then_o whosoever_o come_v unto_o i_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a east_n he_o out_o our_o saviour_n in_o these_o word_n have_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v what_o welcome_n what_o entertainment_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v with_o he_o if_o we_o come_v to_o he_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v

our_o saviour_n to_o cut_v off_o all_o such_o excuse_n as_o these_o and_o to_o embolden_v we_o and_o encourage_v we_o have_v make_v this_o free_a this_o general_a this_o positive_a declaration_n of_o his_o willingness_n to_o receive_v we_o if_o we_o come_v to_o he_o he_o will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a cast_n out_o any_o soul_n the_o word_n will_v not_o need_v any_o division_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v before_o we_o speak_v any_o further_a to_o they_o make_v the_o observation_n which_o be_v this_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v not_o cast_v out_o any_o poor_a soul_n that_o come_v to_o he_o there_o be_v no_o more_o change_n of_o they_o than_o what_o necessity_n require_v he_o speak_v of_o himself_o use_v the_o first_o person_n we_o speak_v of_o he_o must_v use_v the_o three_o and_o this_o variation_n be_v nothing_o this_o note_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o explain_v prove_v confirm_v and_o apply_v to_o we_o all_o first_o then_o for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o doctrine_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o cast_v out_o which_o he_o promise_v he_o will_v not_o do_v if_o any_o man_n come_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o first_o then_o what_o it_o be_v to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_o presuppose_v that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o by_o nature_n far_o off_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o stranger_n from_o 13._o the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o covenant_n of_o promise_n enemy_n to_o god_n and_o to_o christ_n and_o to_o our_o own_o salvation_n we_o be_v miserable_a and_o be_v content_a to_o be_v so_o will_v be_v so_o but_o that_o i_o shall_v leave_v building_n upon_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n grant_v by_o all_o that_o it_o be_v so_o with_o we_o by_o nature_n 14._o every_o mother_n child_n yea_o however_o we_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v near_o and_o have_v a_o outward_a nearness_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v say_v to_o be_v his_o 28._o people_n near_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o we_o at_o the_o present_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o lord_n open_v heaven_n and_o le_fw-fr we_o down_o the_o white_a sheet_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o we_o wherein_o we_o have_v all_o variety_n of_o heaven_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o the_o voice_n be_v arise_v and_o eat_v come_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o live_v but_o alas_o our_o heart_n be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o we_o turn_v our_o back_n upon_o it_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o every_o one_o of_o we_o until_o the_o lord_n proceed_v further_a with_o we_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n brethren_n to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n do_v immediate_o presuppose_v a_o hear_n and_o learn_v of_o god_n in_o time_n haply_o they_o may_v agree_v and_o this_o i_o speak_v of_o because_o i_o neither_o myself_o will_v give_v you_o a_o effect_n without_o show_v you_o the_o dependence_n upon_o its_o cause_n lest_o some_o may_v fasten_v it_o upon_o a_o false_a root_n a_o false_a cause_n and_o so_o put_v a_o fallacy_n upon_o themselves_o this_o you_o have_v plain_o in_o the_o 45._o ver_fw-la of_o this_o chapter_n whosoever_o therefore_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n come_v unto_o i_o where_o note_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o tense_n or_o time_n in_o the_o text_n whosoever_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v do_v come_v and_o therefore_o he_o come_v because_o he_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v this_o be_v god_n teach_v and_o man_n learning_n they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n all_o who_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o god_n purpose_n all_o that_o he_o will_v bring_v in_o to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o have_v give_v to_o jesus_n christ_n not_o simple_o all_o man_n for_o we_o see_v by_o daily_a experience_n contrary_a how_o many_o dye_n and_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n how_o many_o that_o hear_v of_o he_o that_o never_o learn_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o and_o so_o do_v not_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n yea_o how_o many_o that_o seem_v to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o make_v a_o profession_n and_o yet_o depart_v from_o he_o be_v leave_v to_o their_o own_o heart_n to_o depart_v which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o cast_v out_o as_o those_o disciple_n afterward_o many_o of_o they_o go_v backward_o be_v offend_v at_o our_o saviour_n speech_n concern_v eat_n he_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o never_o walk_v with_o he_o any_o more_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n note_v it_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o disciple_n that_o never_o learn_v be_v never_o teach_v of_o god_n for_o all_o that_o be_v thus_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o learn_v they_o do_v come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o that_o so_o come_v to_o christ_n he_o say_v he_o will_v never_o cast_v they_o out_o 33._o as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o afterward_o well_o but_o this_o hear_n and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n which_o in_o order_n go_v before_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n or_o his_o come_n to_o christ_n whatever_o it_o be_v in_o time_n and_o if_o this_o scripture_n will_v prove_v the_o needlesness_n of_o ordinance_n now_o to_o grow_v believer_n it_o will_v prove_v it_o as_o well_o to_o new_o convert_v for_o these_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o grow_v believer_n or_o else_o they_o can_v never_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a neither_o for_o the_o one_o nor_o for_o the_o other_o to_o what_o end_n do_v the_o most_o wise_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o the_o church_n appoint_v they_o for_o nothing_o but_o that_o by_o the_o by_o i_o say_v this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n as_o the_o evangelist_n show_v in_o the_o 45._o verse_n bring_v that_o prophecy_n they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o make_v this_o inference_n from_o it_o whosoever_o therefore_o hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n come_v unto_o i_o again_o this_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o draw_n of_o the_o father_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 44._o verse_n no_o man_n come_v unto_o i_o except_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v i_o draw_v he_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o prophet_n they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o this_o hear_n and_o learning_n may_v be_v
