this_o great_a question_n the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v of_o concernment_n every_o day_n among_o you_o you_o know_v there_o the_o three_o act_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n whereby_o a_o soul_n do_v rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o assurance_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v of_o god_n love_n towards_o he_o and_o his_o love_n to_o

blow_n that_o so_o we_o may_v stand_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o our_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v first_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n satan_n do_v sometime_o strike_v at_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n in_o the_o saint_n by_o hide_v from_o they_o their_o former_a experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o they_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v the_o sight_n and_o view_v of_o his_o experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o he_o before_o he_o do_v rely_v on_o god_n and_o he_o say_v i_o will_v for_o ever_o rest_n upon_o god_n and_o rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o thus_o and_o thus_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o the_o i_o heretofore_o now_o therefore_o satan_n do_v labour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n to_o hide_v the_o experience_n of_o the_o saint_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v strike_v at_o their_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v their_o faith_n fail_v but_o then_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v off_o this_o blow_n quest_n thus_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o answ_n 1_o or_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n but_o rather_o deal_v with_o your_o experience_n because_o of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v up_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o ladder_n of_o experience_n but_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v down_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o his_o experience_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 106._o psalm_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o

soon_o forget_v his_o work_n they_o wait_v not_o for_o his_o counsel_n so_o that_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o and_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n for_o if_o your_o experience_n be_v but_o out_o of_o the_o way_n a_o little_a than_o your_o heart_n will_v fail_v and_o your_o faith_n fail_v present_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o mourn_v for_o any_o evil_n answ_n 2_o no_o not_o for_o sin_n itself_o so_o as_o to_o be_v unthankful_a for_o or_o unmindful_a of_o former_a mercy_n we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o this_o and_o satan_n he_o come_v and_o tempt_v and_o say_v unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n be_v you_o speak_v of_o former_a mercy_n or_o blessing_n to_o be_v thanful_a for_o they_o that_o be_v a_o good_a work_n for_o other_o but_o as_o for_o you_o you_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v your_o duty_n now_o to_o mourn_v for_o your_o sin_n commit_v look_v you_o to_o that_o to_o be_v humble_v apply_v

you_o ask_v i_o wherein_o the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o christ_n be_v express_v unto_o his_o people_n under_o their_o temptation_n i_o answer_v answ_n 1_o first_o in_o the_o order_n of_o their_o temptation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o temptation_n befall_v any_o of_o his_o but_o he_o measure_v out_o the_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n as_o a_o wise_a phifitian_n do_v not_o

ability_n of_o his_o patient_n and_o prescribe_v according_o now_o though_o our_o saviour_n christ_n dont_fw-fr direct_a satan_n for_o to_o tempt_v yet_o he_o do_v order_v he_o in_o tempt_v and_o satan_n can_v put_v the_o least_o dram_n into_o any_o temptation_n but_o as_o it_o be_v measure_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v plain_o in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 10._o chapter_n and_o the_o 13._o verse_n but_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a etc._n etc._n that_o

strength_n and_o then_o if_o i_o must_v be_v tempt_v suffer_v i_o to_o be_v tempt_v according_a to_o my_o ability_n christ_n do_v measure_n out_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o his_o people_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n second_o as_o he_o do_v measure_n out_o their_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n so_o he_o do_v also_o mortify_v their_o temptation_n and_o weaken_v they_o as_o they_o come_v through_o his_o hand_n mortify_v they_o before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o his_o disciple_n and_o people_n before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o you_o and_o upon_o this_o account_n partly_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o christ_n that_o give_v victory_n because_o our_o enemy_n be_v overcome_v before_o he_o strike_v and_o his_o blow_n be_v break_v as_o he_o strike_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n concern_v our_o saviour_n that_o he_o have_v spoil_v principality_n and_o power_n and_o make_v a_o show_n of_o they_o open_o upon_o the_o cross_n all_o your_o temptation_n the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o they_o be_v spoil_v upon_o the_o cross_n there_o be_v no_o temptation_n befall_v any_o of_o god_n people_n but_o it_o be_v mortify_v and_o weaken_v before_o it_o do_v come_v it_o they_o the_o sting_n tooth_n and_o the_o poison_n be_v take_v out_o three_o he_o do_v not_o only_o thus_o mortify_v and_o weaken_v a_o temptation_n before_o it_o do_v come_v at_o we_o but_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o he_o may_v be_v discern_v and_o so_o overcome_v satan_n tempt_v adam_n and_o eve_n but_o he_o tempt_v in_o a_o serpent_n and_o so_o adam_n may_v easy_o have_v discern_v the_o hand_n of_o satan_n in_o it_o for_o adam_n know_v all_o the_o creature_n he_o give_v they_o

in_o the_o business_n and_o so_o now_o though_o god_n do_v suffer_v satan_n to_o tempt_v his_o people_n yet_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o the_o black_a

what_o be_v it_o to_o believe_v on_o christ_n to_o rest_v upon_o christ_n for_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o temptation_n this_o be_v to_o believe_v on_o christ_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o temptation_n do_v you_o rest_v on_o christ_n do_v it_o you_o rely_v on_o christ_n then_o christ_n have_v pray_v for_o you_o and_o though_o thou_o be_v in_o such_o a_o temptation_n as_o thou_o complain_v thou_o can_v not_o pray_v yet_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v pray_v for_o thou_o and_o he_o be_v hear_v in_o all_o that_o he_o pray_v for_o but_o i_o fear_v will_n some_o say_v yet_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o pray_v object_n or_o intercede_v for_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n because_o my_o faith_n fail_v i_o oh_o my_o

for_o answer_v answ_n 1_o first_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o fail_n of_o your_o faith_n and_o the_o fail_n of_o your_o heart_n possible_o your_o heart_n may_v fail_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o yet_o not_o your_o faith_n look_v i_o pray_v into_o the_o 73._o psalm_n the_o 26._o verse_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v as_o much_o say_v the_o psalmist_n there_o my_o flesh_n and_o my_o heart_n fail_v i_o but_o do_v not_o his_o faith_n fail_v now_o see_v what_o he_o say_v his_o faith_n stand_v notwithstanding_o this_o but_o god_n be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o my_o portion_n for_o ever_o here_o be_v his_o faith_n so_o that_o though_o his_o flesh_n fail_v and_o his_o heart_n fail_v yet_o his_o faith_n do_v not_o fail_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o recoil_v fit_a of_o a_o heart-failing_a in_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o the_o fail_n of_o one_o faith_n second_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o you_o to_o fail_v in_o your_o faith_n in_o our_o own_o opinion_n and_o another_o thing_n for_o your_o faith_n to_o fail_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o peter_n deny_v his_o lord_n and_o master_n in_o his_o own_o opinion_n he_o can_v not_o but_o think_v that_o his_o faith_n fail_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o faith_n do_v not_o fail_v for_o christ_n pray_v that_o his_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v and_o it_o do_v not_o fail_v for_o christ_n be_v hear_v in_o what_o he_o pray_v for_o three_o there_o be_v great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o fail_n of_o faith_n and_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v faith_n the_o poor_a woman_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o touch_v the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n fail_v very_o much_o for_o she_o come_v behind_o he_o and_o thought_n to_o have_v steal_v a_o cure_n i_o but_o though_o there_o be_v many_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v her_o faith_n yet_o her_o faith_n do_v not_o fail_v for_o she_o come_v and_o touch_v the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n and_o be_v cure_v by_o her_o faith_n so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o fail_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v faith_n there_o may_v be_v many_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v one_o faith_n and_o yet_o one_o faith_n may_v stand_v and_o not_o fail_v but_o yet_o further_o whosoever_o you_o be_v that_o say_v your_o faith_n fail_v you_o and_o therefore_o you_o be_v afraid_a that_o christ_n pray_v not_o for_o you_o man_n or_o woman_n do_v thy_o faith_n ever_o fail_v thou_o like_o peter_n do_v thou_o ever_o deny_v thy_o lord_n and_o master_n as_o peter_n do_v and_o yet_o christ_n say_v i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o and_o he_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o pray_v for_o oh_o but_o that_o be_v but_o one_o act_n in_o
peter_n object_n but_o my_o faith_n do_v constant_o fail_v peter_n deny_v and_o his_o faith_n fail_v in_o the_o exercise_n as_o to_o one_o act_n but_o my_o faith_n do_v constant_o fail_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n i_o be_v heretofore_o more_o able_a to_o believe_v in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n than_o now_o i_o be_o my_o faith_n be_v fail_v and_o it_o constant_o fail_v and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n will_v not_o pray_v for_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n well_o but_o if_o you_o be_v more_o able_a to_o rely_v upon_o mere_a freegrace_n answ_n than_o you_o have_v be_v heretofore_o than_o your_o faith_n be_v not_o less_o but_o increase_v rather_o if_o you_o be_v now_o more_o able_a to_o be_v content_v with_o your_o condition_n than_o you_o be_v heretofore_o if_o you_o can_v let_v god_n and_o christ_n alone_o to_o use_v his_o own_o mean_n about_o you_o if_o you_o can_v leave_v the_o event_n and_o success_n of_o thing_n more_o unto_o god_n than_o you_o can_v heretofore_o then_o your_o faith_n be_v not_o fail_v but_o rather_o increase_v man_n or_o woman_n if_o that_o you_o be_v able_a now_o to_o take_v those_o hint_n of_o a_o word_n which_o you_o can_v not_o heretofore_o if_o your_o judgement_n be_v more_o settle_v in_o the_o truth_n if_o you_o be_v more_o content_v to_o suffer_v now_o for_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o way_n of_o god_n than_o you_o be_v heretofore_o then_o thy_o faith_n be_v not_o fail_v but_o thy_o faith_n be_v increase_v rather_o and_o so_o thou_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n prayer_n oh_o object_n but_o yet_o will_n some_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v great_o very_o much_o i_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o

you_o know_v our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o pray_v for_o they_o oh_o father_n forgive_v they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v but_o lord_n these_o be_v

read_v of_o very_o great_a comfort_n that_o the_o martyr_n have_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n those_o time_n next_o after_o christ_n i_o have_v desire_v to_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v especial_o that_o bear_v up_o their_o heart_n under_o all_o those_o persecution_n and_o turtullian_n pitch_v upon_o this_o as_o one_o thing_n we_o consider_v say_v he_o the_o case_n of_o peter_n satan_n desire_v

of_o christ_n now_o the_o son_n have_v more_o credit_n with_o god_n the_o father_n than_o satan_n his_o request_n must_v needs_o prevail_v so_o say_v he_o satan_n have_v desire_v for_o to_o tempt_v

of_o god_n than_o the_o bullock_n or_o the_o goat_n for_o when_o the_o high_a priest_n go_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holy_a and_o sprinkle_v the_o mercy-seat_n he_o do_v not_o sprinkle_v the_o

be_v a_o stand_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o temple_n morning_n and_o evening_n and_o that_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o lamb._n now_o therefore_o to_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o daily_a sacrifice_n therefore_o he_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n and_o not_o the_o goat_n of_o god_n for_o the_o goat_n be_v not_o sacrifice_v every_o day_n as_o the_o lamb_n be_v for_o proof_n of_o this_o take_v the_o apostle_n exhortation_n ephe._n 5.2_o walk_v in_o love_n as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o a_o offering_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n here_o be_v three_o thing_n considerable_a first_o he_o do_v not_o say_v who_o have_v redeem_v we_o but_o to_o show_v his_o great_a love_n unto_o we_o who_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o he_o do_v not_o say_v who_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o our_o sin_n yet_o he_o say_v so_o in_o gal._n 1.4_o who_o give_v himself_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o who_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o why_o to_o show_v who_o they_o be_v that_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o as_o sinner_n again_o he_o say_v here_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o a_o offering_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n not_o only_o a_o offering_n but_o a_o sacrifice_n too_o so_o that_o this_o first_o proposition_n be_v clear_o prove_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n when_o he_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o do_v offer_v up_o himself_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n second_o as_o he_o do_v offer_v up_o himself_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n so_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o this_o altar_n this_o sacrifice_n the_o sin_n of_o all_o believer_n be_v then_o lay_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n those_o that_o do_v now_o believe_v or_o shall_v hereafter_o believe_v they_o be_v all_o then_o lay_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n look_v into_o the_o 53._o of_o isaiah_n ver_fw-la 6._o all_o we_o like_v sheep_n have_v go_v astray_o and_o have_v turn_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o way_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o that_o which_o god_n lay_v on_o shall_v never_o be_v take_v off_o no_o man_n shall_v take_v it_o off_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o yea_o our_o iniquity_n be_v not_o only_o say_v to_o be_v lay_v on_o he_o but_o to_o use_v the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v use_v for_o the_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v say_v he_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n as_o the_o goat_n bear_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o himself_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n moreover_o he_o do_v not_o only_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o be_v make_v a_o sinner_n or_o account_v a_o sinner_n only_o for_o we_o but_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o all_o our_o iniquity_n be_v lay_v on_o he_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n and_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n thus_o brief_o the_o second_o proposition_n be_v clear_v that_o when_o he_o do_v thus_o offer_v up_o himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n the_o sin_n of_o all_o believer_n be_v then_o lay_v on_o he_o three_o when_o the_o sin_n of_o believer_n be_v lay_v on_o he_o than_o he_o do_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n and_o divine_a justice_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o bottom_n of_o much_o comfort_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o surety_n have_v not_o satisfy_v to_o the_o utmost_a farthing_n

all_o this_o for_o we_o as_o our_o great_a highpriest_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o so_o that_o this_o be_v plain_a what_o he_o do_v when_o as_o our_o great_a highpriest_n he_o offer_v up_o

christ_n this_o our_o great_a highpriest_n very_o much_o this_o i_o shall_v evidence_n in_o four_o particular_n viz._n what_o a_o great_a trust_n god_n the_o father_n have_v put_v upon_o he_o first_o it_o be_v a_o agreement_n between_o god_n the_o father_n and_o christ_n the_o second_o person_n before_o the_o world_n be_v that_o in_o due_a time_n he_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n take_v

they_o come_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o before_o christ_n have_v die_v so_o then_o god_n the_o father_n save_v they_o upon_o christ_n bare_a word_n that_o he_o will_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o die_v for_o they_o what_o a_o mighty_a trust_n be_v here_o that_o so_o many_o hundred_o thousand_o soul_n shall_v be_v save_v upon_o a_o bare_a word_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o die_v for_o they_o afterward_o again_o the_o trust_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o he_o be_v make_v when_o he_o do_v come_v into_o the_o world_n the_o great_a lord-treasurer_n of_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o comfort_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v out_o unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n when_o pharaoh_n trust_v joseph_n all_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n

so_o now_o that_o not_o any_o grace_n or_o comfort_n give_v out_o to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n but_o only_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n it_o argue_v a_o mighty_a trust_n that_o the_o father_n

it_o full_o five_o according_a to_o our_o method_n how_o all_o this_o do_v conduce_v unto_o our_o comfort_n and_o unto_o our_o holiness_n first_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n quest_n 1_o and_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v and_o wherein_o it_o consist_v i_o answer_v first_o in_o the_o general_n that_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n answ_n and_o of_o christ_n consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n especial_o and_o not_o in_o temporal_a and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n bless_a be_v the_o

that_o do_v befall_v man_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o in_o outward_a affliction_n and_o bodily_a trouble_n so_o much_o as_o in_o spiritual_a misery_n blindness_n of_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o consist_v much_o in_o outward_a thing_n as_o in_o spiritual_a who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n indeed_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o moses_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n he_o bless_v they_o much_o in_o temporal_a blessing_n in_o the_o 28._o of_o deuteronomy_n and_o the_o 2._o verse_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o and_o overtake_v thou_o if_o thou_o shall_v hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o

and_o thy_o store_n thus_o he_o go_v on_o in_o outward_a blessing_n but_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o gospel_n and_o consider_v the_o blessing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o lay_v they_o together_o with_o moses_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o matthew_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n etc._n etc._n bless_a be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n bless_v be_v those_o that_o mourn_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v comfort_v indeed_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o earth_n come_v be_v at_o the_o 5._o vers_n but_o he_o return_v again_o to_o spiritual_a blessing_n bless_a be_v they_o which_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v fill_v bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o

he_o that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n man_n be_v more_o spiritual_a than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o gospel-blessing_n they_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n every_o thing_n give_v and_o communicate_v to_o another_o according_a to_o what_o it_o have_v itself_o the_o sun_n communicate_v light_a unto_o the_o world_n because_o it_o have_v light_v itself_o and_o man_n communicate_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n unto_o his_o child_n because_o he_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n himself_o so_o our_o lord_n christ_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o communicate_v according_a unto_o what_o he_o have_v himself_o and_o his_o blessing_n especial_o consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o he_o do_v bless_v indeed_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n that_o be_v mix_v with_o temporal_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o abraham_n so_o now_o

they_o shall_v see_v god_n see_v of_o god_n be_v a_o blessing_n out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n a_o gospel-blessign_a and_o what_o be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o see_v god_n in_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o hebrew_n to_o see_v it_o be_v ordinary_o use_v for_o to_o enjoy_v in_o the_o 4._o psalm_n who_o will_v show_v we_o any_o good_a the_o word_n in_o the_o hebrew_n be_v

a_o outlet_a some_o breathe_a time_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o temptation_n five_o and_o last_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o so_o

on_o earth_n and_o in_o heaven_n the_o holy_a of_o holy_a he_o do_v make_v intercession_n there_o he_o do_v do_v it_o full_o but_o he_o can_v not_o for_o bear_v while_o he_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n

that_o this_o man_n or_o woman_n faith_n may_v not_o fail_v oh_o what_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o love_n be_v here_o thus_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n and_o many_o other_o that_o i_o may_v

be_v a_o pattern_n and_o platform_n of_o his_o deal_n with_o all_o his_o people_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n now_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o christ_n love_n be_v never_o more_o let_v
