that_o can_v speak_v as_o the_o apostle_n and_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v we_o shall_v learn_v how_o to_o speak_v of_o god_n paul_n the_o more_o he_o insist_o in_o speak_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o

it_o be_v impossible_a if_o thy_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o he_o but_o thy_o mouth_n must_v be_v full_a and_o thou_o will_v speak_v of_o he_o with_o a_o full_a mouth_n and_o not_o light_o a_o word_n

thou_o shall_v never_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o joy_n of_o that_o life_n in_o he_o therefore_o stick_v by_o this_o gospel_n and_o suffer_v not_o thyself_o to_o be_v sever_v from_o

and_o he_o be_v our_o friend_n and_o we_o be_v his_o friend_n second_o it_o import_v a_o variance_n that_o follow_v the_o creation_n and_o that_o by_o our_o foul_a defection_n in_o break_v of_o the_o

1._o 10._o he_o have_v a_o word_n that_o he_o call_v recollection_n which_o import_v a_o gather_v together_o of_o they_o that_o be_v scatter_v and_o it_o include_v all_o these_o three_o that_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o reconciliation_n first_o it_o import_v a_o union_n which_o we_o have_v with_o god_n at_o the_o beginning_n second_o that_o after_o there_o be_v a_o scatter_n then_o it_o import_v a_o gather_v together_o of_o we_o by_o the_o mediator_n now_o this_o for_o the_o word_n in_o the_o knowledge_n whereof_o you_o may_v learn_v the_o three_o estate_n of_o man_n from_o the_o beginning_n first_o we_o stand_v in_o friendship_n and_o amity_n with_o god_n he_o be_v we_o and_o we_o be_v he_o and_o we_o be_v bind_v with_o he_o in_o a_o covenant_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o remember_v this_o

with_o god_n a_o miserable_a estate_n for_o like_a as_o it_o be_v the_o felicity_n of_o man_n to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o god_n for_o if_o thou_o have_v all_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o

estate_n our_o renew_a amity_n with_o god_n again_o we_o begin_v with_o friendship_n we_o fall_v into_o emnitie_n we_o return_v again_o to_o friendship_n and_o this_o be_v make_v by_o the_o mediator_n if_o you_o will_v compare_v this_o friendship_n with_o the_o old_a friendship_n it_o be_v both_o great_a and_o better_a than_o the_o old_a friendship_n the_o new_a friendship_n that_o be_v get_v by_o this_o reconciliation_n unchangeable_a the_o reconciliation_n we_o have_v by_o christ_n be_v unchangeable_a be_v unchangeable_a the_o old_a friendship_n be_v changeable_a we_o become_v his_o enemy_n and_o he_o become_v we_o but_o this_o new_a friendship_n it_o must_v stand_v and_o shall_v stand_v immutable_a in_o the_o mediator_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v immutable_a to_o thou_o and_o if_o thou_o be_v true_o reconcile_v to_o god_n thou_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o he_o again_o nor_o he_o to_o thou_o for_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v make_v the_o peace_n shall_v hold_v fast_o the_o

make_v intercession_n for_o thou_o and_o thy_o reconciliation_n shall_v stand_v as_o long_o as_o his_o intercession_n stand_v which_o be_v everlasting_a therefore_o thy_o friendship_n shall_v stand_v everlasting_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a blasphemy_n to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n once_o true_o reconcile_v to_o god_n can_v fall_v from_o grace_n again_o and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o that_o christ_n shall_v not_o continue_v in_o his_o intercession_n so_o our_o last_o estate_n be_v most_o bless_a only_o hold_v thy_o eye_n on_o thy_o mediator_n that_o make_v intercession_n for_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v assure_v thou_o thou_o shall_v never_o be_v sever_v from_o he_o nay_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v go_v together_o ere_o thou_o be_v rend_v from_o that_o god_n thus_o brief_o for_o
