wisdom_n and_o counsel_n in_o his_o power_n love_n &_o peace_n so_o that_o so_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n in_o bring_v man_n back_o from_o death_n to_o life_n be_v a_o wonderful_a way_n unknown_a to_o the_o world_n and_o flesh_n only_o know_v by_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n isa_n 55._o 1._o my_o way_n be_v not_o your_o way_n but_o look_v how_o far_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a way_n that_o he_o prescribe_v in_o matth._n 16._o to_o deny_v ourselves_o to_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n lose_v our_o life_n it_o be_v call_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o genesis_n 3_o he_o ordain_v that_o man_n shall_v never_o by_o that_o way_n of_o the_o flesh_n enter_v into_o life_n but_o by_o another_o way_n that_o kill_v the_o flesh_n 2._o the_o way_n of_o christ_n be_v opposite_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o world_n that_o his_o glory_n may_v appear_v for_o israel_n by_o want_n of_o faith_n stand_v in_o fear_n of_o the_o army_n of_o the_o philistine_n but_o jonathan_n and_o his_o armour-bearer_n only_o discomfit_v by_o faith_n a_o wonderful_a power_n of_o god_n 3._o thus_o god_n make_v himself_o know_v in_o the_o earth_n by_o his_o great_a wonderful_a work_n now_o christ_n way_n be_v wonderful_a not_o only_o in_o his_o birth_n in_o earth_n without_o a_o father_n in_o heaven_n without_o a_o mother_n but_o also_o in_o his_o miracle_n which_o be_v great_a as_o in_o dispute_v at_o twelve_o year_n old_a and_o fast_v forty_o day_n but_o also_o in_o his_o ministry_n that_o a_o silly_a man_n oppose_v the_o whole_a hirarchie_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o jew_n yet_o speak_v with_o authority_n to_o the_o subdue_a of_o all_o so_o in_o his_o apostle_n for_o the_o wonderful_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n do_v for_o the_o present_a dash_v all_o contrary_a power_n though_o afterward_o it_o rise_v again_o he_o be_v also_o wonderful_a in_o the_o administration_n of_o his_o kingdom_n as_o he_o come_v to_o give_v we_o light_n that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o obscurity_n 1._o to_o give_v life_n and_o yet_o he_o die_v himself_o and_o in_o reason_n be_v overcome_v in_o death_n but_o that_o faith_n believe_v the_o resurrection_n 2._o to_o make_v we_o rich_a and_o yet_o he_o himself_o poor_a 3._o to_o make_v we_o free_a and_o himself_o bind_v 4._o to_o comfort_v we_o and_o yet_o he_o himself_o cry_v out_o for_o comfort_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o wonderful_a way_n that_o christ_n have_v to_o work_v a_o redemption_n for_o i_o and_o this_o by_o a_o unspeakable_a power_n and_o love_n which_o be_v see_v in_o all_o man_n strait_n as_o in_o prayer_n and_o affliction_n temptation_n and_o death_n as_o 1._o man_n cry_v and_o pray_v to_o be_v ease_v like_o paul_n for_o a_o prick_n in_o the_o flesh_n god_n hear_v by_o a_o secret_a power_n and_o grace_n and_o say_v in_o paul_n 2._o in_o affliction_n he_o lay_v load_n and_o yet_o preserve_v by_o feel_v the_o father_n love_n 3._o in_o temptation_n justify_v and_o yet_o we_o feel_v no_o kill_v of_o the_o flesh_n 4._o death_n come_v and_o yet_o we_o live_v in_o he_o 1._o away_o then_o with_o that_o reasonable_a religion_n christ_n way_n be_v above_o that_o man_n have_v a_o ready_a way_n of_o religion_n to_o do_v well_o and_o know_v much_o and_o so_o have_v a_o opinion_n in_o flesh_n but_o not_o a_o stay_n to_o the_o soul_n also_o a_o reason_n of_o love_n as_o his_o neighbour_n and_o friend_n but_o no_o reason_n to_o love_v enemy_n it_o must_v be_v a_o wonderful_a power_n of_o christ_n that_o must_v separate_v man_n from_o himself_o in_o reason_n it_o be_v like_a that_o man_n shall_v speed_v best_o that_o come_v righteous_a to_o he_o but_o not_o so_o he_o that_o come_v a_o sinner_n 2._o we_o see_v then_o the_o necessity_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o reasonable_a persuasion_n but_o a_o powerful_a cleave_v to_o christ_n &_o no_o deal_v with_o god_n but_o by_o faith_n for_o reason_n can_v make_v nothing_o of_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n 3._o marvel_v then_o not_o though_o the_o world_n can_v away_o with_o it_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n count_v it_o foolishness_n but_o faith_n know_v that_o reason_n be_v a_o foolish_a counsellor_n this_o be_v another_o title_n and_o property_n or_o declaration_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n that_o be_v with_o he_o he_o be_v the_o counsellor_n the_o prophet_n of_o the_o church_n to_o teach_v it_o wisdom_n and_o guide_v it_o in_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n so_o that_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o counsel_n be_v in_o g●d_n and_o none_o wise_a in_o matter_n of_o religion_n &_o god_n but_o they_o that_o be_v wise_a in_o and_o true_o know_v christ_n in_o he_o be_v hide_v all_o the_o

if_o any_o obey_v my_o will_n he_o shall_v know_v whether_o this_o doctrine_n be_v of_o god_n 1._o for_o he_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n and_o send_v out_o to_o counsel_n and_o advise_v deceive_v man_n to_o turn_v to_o god_n again_o 2._o man_n be_v blind_a even_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o world_n &_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v their_o great_a misery_n for_o it_o be_v foolishness_n to_o they_o and_o they_o can_v approve_v it_o but_o the_o world_n think_v not_o so_o for_o who_o be_v count_v so_o wise_a as_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n who_o fight_v against_o god_n 1._o so_o god_n have_v show_v the_o way_n to_o prosper_v that_o be_v to_o believe_v trust_v and_o obey_v but_o the_o wicked_a say_v not_o bu●_n cark_n care_n and_o oppress_v but_o the_o way_n of_o life_n be_v a_o denial_n and_o loss_n of_o life_n and_o will_n but_o they_o say_v save_o life_n and_o will_n for_o man_n will_v either_o find_v a_o way_n of_o his_o own_o o●_n help_n god_n in_o his_o way_n 2._o some_o be_v wise_a above_o the_o gospel_n and_o christ_n and_o will_v needs_o see_v into_o god_n secret_n with_o their_o fleshlie_o eye_n as_o arminius_n who_o will_v needs_o set_v

of_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o matthew_n the_o quality_n &_o disposition_n of_o these_o that_o be_v bless_a bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o spirit_n consist_v in_o what_o state_n 1._o the_o quality_n

of_o all_o help_n but_o wait_v only_o on_o relief_n on_o god_n so_o that_o he_o only_o who_o heart_n be_v purge_v by_o the_o word_n from_o all_o stay_v and_o hope_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v true_o a_o

soul_n so_o religion_n the_o garment_n be_v the_o outward_a form_n of_o action_n righteousness_n holiness_n the_o body_n be_v truth_n righteousness_n reveal_v to_o the_o church_n apprehend_v by_o

paul_n distinguish_v man_n into_o soul_n body_n and_o spirit_n by_o the_o body_n the_o outward_a mass_n of_o flesh_n the_o soul_n the_o vital_a power_n and_o sensitive_a appetite_n and_o natural_a

the_o soul_n in_o life_n amid_o the_o fullness_n of_o its_o natural_a object_n yet_o no_o rest_n unless_o the_o spirit_n be_v satisfy_v also_o now_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n be_v draw_v by_o sensual_a power_n to_o bodily_a object_n it_o want_v life_n but_o leave_v all_o these_o be_v guide_v to_o and_o join_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n it_o be_v then_o satisfy_v and_o the_o body_n

thus_o in_o the_o world_n man_n will_v needs_o join_v god_n and_o dagon_n christ_n and_o mammon_n without_o any_o trust_n or_o think_v of_o god_n at_o all_o like_o beast_n other_o keep_v a_o form_n of_o god_n after_o the_o flesh_n as_o they_o acknowledge_v his_o power_n and_o see_v his_o justice_n &_o fear_v &_o worship_v he_o with_o a_o far_o off_o worship_n but_o the_o heart_n bow_v to_o

have_v show_v himself_o to_o man_n by_o his_o truth_n and_o love_n do_v he_o join_v heart_n and_o hand_n with_o the_o world_n again_o so_o that_o indeed_o this_o eat_v out_o all_o religion_n among_o

so_o make_v man_n freewill_n a_o worker_n with_o god_n so_o that_o it_o be_v that_o man_n believe_v not_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n be_v the_o subject_n in_o who_o god_n work_v yet_o the_o

it_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o manifestation_n not_o of_o any_o power_n they_o have_v over_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n nay_o let_v this_o god_n of_o israel_n be_v our_o only_a stay_n and_o lay_v saul_n
