a_o man_n love_v god_n that_o beget_v he_o must_v needs_o love_v they_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o god_n other_o last_o if_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o than_o a_o man_n labour_v to_o do_v good_a

be_v five_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v open_v first_o it_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v col._n 1.18_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o body_n the_o church_n so_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o same_o peculiar_a company_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n as_o saint_n peter_n call_v they_o you_o be_v a_o choose_a generation_n a_o peculiar_a

their_o person_n and_o course_n and_o manner_n of_o life_n be_v see_v and_o know_v and_o they_o may_v be_v know_v who_o they_o be_v yet_o all_o of_o they_o be_v never_o know_v nor_o ever_o will_v be_v there_o may_v be_v more_o than_o we_o can_v tell_v and_o few_o than_o we_o think_v of_o the_o foundation_n of_o god_n be_v sure_a have_v this_o seal_n the_o lord_n know_v who_o be_v his_o 2_o tim._n 2.19_o the_o lord_n have_v seven_o thousand_o in_o israel_n that_o have_v not_o bend_v their_o knee_n to_o baal_n when_o eliah_n can_v see_v never_o a_o one_o so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n it_o be_v the_o invisible_a church_n of_o god_n second_o it_o be_v such_o a_o company_n as_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o all_o nation_n under_o heaven_n nation_n as_o saint_n john_n speak_v rev._n 7.9_o after_o this_o behold_v and_o lo_o i_o see_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o country_n and_o tongue_n etc._n etc._n though_o it_o be_v a_o little_a flock_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o reprobate_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o great_a multitude_n consider_v in_o itself_o and_o they_o stand_v before_o the_o throne_n and_o before_o the_o lamb_n with_o long_a white_a robe_n and_o with_o palm_n in_o their_o hand_n this_o white_a robe_n be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n jesus_n impute_v which_o beget_v another_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o some_o

and_o nation_n and_o kindred_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n speak_v of_o his_o own_o take_n of_o this_o company_n home_o unto_o himself_o at_o the_o last_o day_n see_v what_o he_o speak_v mat._n 24.31_o he_o shall_v send_v his_o angel_n with_o a_o great_a sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n and_o they_o shall_v gather_v his_o elect_n from_o the_o four_o wind_n from_o the_o

be_v write_v in_o the_o lamb_n book_n of_o life_n rev._n 21.27_o therefore_o all_o those_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o god_n and_o go_v a_o great_a way_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o turn_v back_o as_o orphah_n from_o naomi_n ruth_n 1_o they_o be_v

for_o dulness_n and_o deadness_n and_o untowardness_n and_o want_v of_o peace_n of_o conscience_n for_o irksomeness_n and_o awknesse_n that_o a_o man_n have_v a_o hellish_a life_n from_o day_n to_o
