from_o 13._o to_o 18._o but_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o be_v ignorant_a brethren_n concern_v they_o which_o be_v asleep_a that_o you_o sorrow_n not_o even_o as_o other_o which_o have_v no_o

with_o the_o lord_n so_o much_o for_o the_o eleven_o reason_n this_o be_v a_o glorious_a life_n the_o believer_n have_v experience_v and_o that_o because_o he_o have_v great_a expectation_n of_o what_o christ_n will_v do_v for_o he_o as_o well_o as_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o he_o therefore_o desire_v to_o make_v this_o bless_a christ_n his_o life_n the_o twelve_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o believer_n can_v see_v no_o object_n so_o glorious_a as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o say_v the_o soul_n all_o i_o can_v see_v i_o count_v it_o all_o empty_a in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n for_o to_o see_v the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n choose_v i_o in_o election_n before_o the_o world_n be_v to_o see_v this_o glorious_a love_n out_o of_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n to_o be_v give_v for_o i_o to_o be_v my_o ransom_n and_o salvation_n o_o how_o glorious_a a_o object_n be_v he_o to_o behold_v o_o how_o glorious_a be_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n that_o lighten_v the_o whole_a world_n but_o then_o o_o how_o glorious_a be_v he_o that_o come_v out_o of_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n the_o brightness_n of_o his_o glory_n o_o my_o soul_n let_v i_o behold_v he_o and_o live_v upon_o he_o i_o can_v see_v no_o way_n but_o he_o be_v glorious_a o_o love_n for_o delight_n the_o thirteen_o reason_n a_o believer_n desire_v to_o live_v on_o christ_n because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v pay_v all_o and_o do_v all_o for_o he_o he_o have_v buy_v all_o for_o he_o and_o say_v the_o believer_n all_o i_o have_v be_v from_o christ_n have_v i_o peace_n hope_n joy_n it_o be_v all_o buy_v by_o christ_n i_o may_v have_v have_v a_o despair_a soul_n or_o a_o curse_a hope_n i_o may_v have_v be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n i_o may_v have_v be_v among_o the_o damn_a soul_n that_o be_v roar_v in_o hell_n but_o have_v i_o peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n christ_n have_v buy_v and_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o incorruptible_a kingdom_n of_o glory_n and_o as_o he_o have_v buy_v all_o and_o pay_v for_o all_o i_o live_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o pet._n 1.3_o bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o according_a to_o his_o abundant_a mercy_n have_v beget_v we_o again_o unto_o a_o lively_a hope_n all_o the_o joy_n i_o have_v and_o hope_v i_o have_v of_o heaven_n be_v buy_v by_o christ_n all_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n i_o have_v all_o the_o glory_n my_o soul_n be_v crown_v with_o all_o the_o joy_n my_o heart_n be_v fill_v with_o be_v buy_v by_o christ_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v beget_v to_o we_o a_o lively_a hope_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n have_v ransom_v i_o from_o death_n from_o hell_n from_o gild_n of_o sin_n he_o have_v buy_v a_o inheritance_n incorruptible_a and_o undefiled_a therefore_o i_o desire_v to_o live_v upon_o he_o the_o fourteen_o reason_n the_o believer_n desire_v to_o live_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o work_v all_o his_o work_n in_o he_o there_o be_v not_o a_o good_a motion_n in_o he_o but_o christ_n be_v the_o worker_n of_o it_o not_o a_o good_a thought_n or_o good_a action_n but_o all_o be_v from_o christ_n isa_n 26.12_o lord_n thou_o will_v ordain_v peace_n for_o we_o for_o thou_o have_v wrought_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v for_o i_o redemption_n salvation_n sanctification_n consolation_n and_o hope_n of_o glory_n therefore_o i_o will_v live_v
delusion_n of_o satan_n that_o they_o may_v not_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o appointment_n they_o think_v they_o need_v no_o more_o teach_v but_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v his_o people_n to_o these_o delusion_n for_o they_o shall_v through_o his_o grace_n be_v so_o keep_v they_o shall_v be_v keep_v wait_v on_o he_o in_o his_o ordinance_n and_o appointment_n so_o from_o

and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v fill_v at_o once_o you_o will_v have_v take_v it_o away_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v fill_v the_o vessel_n at_o once_o but_o what_o then_o can_v you_o contain_v your_o joy_n you_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o joy_n of_o your_o lord_n when_o the_o bottle_n be_v full_a it_o be_v take_v ●way_n it_o can_v hold_v no_o more_o so_o when_o a_o soul_n be_v fill_v

you_o have_v mercy_n distil_v out_o some_o drop_n in_o one_o sermon_n and_o some_o in_o another_o that_o your_o soul_n may_v be_v still_o fill_v up_o till_o you_o be_v fit_a for_o glory_n if_o you_o

they_o o_o that_o i_o have_v a_o full_a assurance_n o_o that_o i_o can_v see_v more_o of_o christ_n o_o that_o i_o be_v perfect_a in_o christ_n o_o that_o i_o can_v love_v he_o as_o the_o saint_n do_v that_o be_v in_o glory_n if_o you_o can_v than_o you_o need_v not_o come_v any_o more_o to_o ordinance_n you_o see_v in_o a_o cloud_n a_o bright_a side_n and_o a_o dark_a side_n in_o ordinance_n you_o have_v peace_n and_o joy_n ay_o and_o you_o have_v temptation_n that_o you_o may_v long_o for_o another_o ordinance_n that_o you_o may_v have_v peace_n and_o comfort_n so_o you_o be_v lead_v from_o ordinance_n to_o ordinance_n you_o be_v lead_v from_o duty_n to_o duty_n till_o you_o be_v bring_v to_o glory_n so_o when_o you_o have_v receive_v some_o revelation_n of_o christ_n you_o long_o for_o
