you_o by_o this_o than_o you_o may_v perceive_v in_o who_o you_o shall_v glory_v 8._o moreover_o without_o christ_n you_o can_v make_v use_n of_o the_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v give_v you_o the_o life_n and_o comfort_n of_o your_o grace_n be_v in_o the_o exercise_n to_o draw_v forth_o your_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o joy_n into_o exercise_n be_v the_o way_n to_o increase_v they_o and_o to_o show_v you_o experimental_o their_o nature_n truth_n and_o worth_a and_o to_o attain_v their_o end_n and_o without_o christ_n you_o will_v never_o do_v this_o you_o may_v lie_v as_o if_o you_o be_v dead_a and_o dry_a and_o wither_a if_o he_o do_v but_o withdraw_v his_o quicken_a influence_n for_o without_o he_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o judge_v then_o by_o this_o in_o who_o you_o shall_v glory_v 9_o yea_o further_o as_o you_o can_v do_v these_o of_o yourselves_o so_o neither_o can_v you_o go_v to_o christ_n yourselves_o for_o strength_n to_o do_v they_o you_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o move_v a_o hand_n or_o lift_v up_o your_o voice_n to_o cry_v for_o help_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o make_v the_o sinner_n willing_a of_o it_o and_o unwilling_a to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o you_o will_v rather_o god_n will_v let_v you_o alone_o and_o thus_o you_o will_v continue_v 10._o yea_o more_o without_o christ_n you_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o understand_v and_o be_v sensible_a of_o all_o this_o misery_n and_o disability_n in_o yourselves_o you_o will_v think_v yourselves_o well_o when_o you_o be_v next_o the_o worst_a and_o give_v no_o one_o thanks_o that_o will_v pity_v or_o help_v you_o so_o that_o lie_v all_o this_o together_o and_o judge_v in_o who_o it_o be_v that_o you_o shall_v glory_n 11._o and_o indeed_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o all_o your_o grace_n if_o you_o have_v any_o will_v lead_v you_o from_o a_o glory_v in_o yourselves_o to_o a_o glory_v in_o christ._n repentance_n will_v lay_v you_o low_a and_o make_v you_o vile_a in_o your_o

be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o unsanctified_a to_o live_v in_o christ_n and_o upon_o christ_n and_o to_o christ_n be_v the_o state_n of_o all_o his_o live_a member_n so_o far_o then_o as_o you_o be_v

you_o be_v real_o teach_v of_o god_n to_o glory_n in_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o yourselves_o 12._o to_o conclude_v even_o nature_n and_o common_a reason_n may_v teach_v you_o that_o you_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o glory_n in_o yourselves_o for_o it_o may_v easy_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o have_v nothing_o of_o yourselves_o and_o therefore_o nothing_o that_o be_v original_o your_o own_o who_o know_v not_o that_o we_o have_v our_o be_v and_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o well-being_n and_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v worth_a the_o have_v from_o god_n alone_o as_o nothing_o can_v not_o

of_o such_o if_o indeed_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n thou_o must_v become_v as_o a_o little_a child_n and_o learn_v of_o christ_n to_o be_v meek_a and_o lowly_a and_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o all_o
