he_o keep_v you_o safe_a if_o our_o eye_n be_v open_v to_o see_v this_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v we_o shall_v magnify_v it_o and_o stand_v amaze_v at_o it_o when_o he_o come_v to_o express_v what_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o express_v it_o in_o he_o be_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o they_o be_v we_o he_o have_v a_o kingdom_n that_o be_v we_o he_o be_v a_o son_n so_o be_v we_o he_o be_v a_o heir_n so_o be_v we_o nothing_o can_v hurt_v we_o but_o it_o hurt_v he_o therefore_o make_v use_n of_o this_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v object_v that_o be_v terrible_a and_o grievous_a answer_v it_o with_o this_o i_o be_o in_o christ_n when_o thou_o want_v any_o thing_n know_v thou_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v for_o thou_o be_v in_o christ_n set_a all_o your_o thought_n on_o work_n to_o look_v to_o all_o the_o thing_n man_n nature_n be_v capable_a of_o that_o you_o desire_v to_o make_v you_o happy_a we_o have_v they_o all_o in_o he_o o_o the_o length_n and_o height_n and_o depth_n of_o his_o mercy_n indeed_o it_o be_v such_o a_o depth_n that_o we_o can_v fathom_v and_o a_o height_n we_o can_v reach_v and_o a_o length_n we_o can_v measure_v all_o this_o we_o have_v by_o christ_n if_o we_o have_v but_o paul_n spirit_n to_o apprehend_v it_o and_o a_o little_a crevise_n of_o light_n open_v to_o we_o as_o there_o be_v to_o he_o that_o we_o may_v see_v into_o this_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ_n we_o will_v stand_v amaze_v i_o can_v stand_v to_o enlarge_v it_o any_o further_a you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o of_o what_o moment_n now_o we_o will_v come_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v so_o glorious_a a_o condition_n to_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n it_o shall_v inflame_v we_o then_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v in_o he_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v in_o this_o condition_n for_o if_o you_o have_v the_o son_n you_o have_v life_n 1_o john_n 5.12_o he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o pertain_v to_o life_n godliness_n and_o happiness_n he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o son_n have_v not_o life_n that_o be_v he_o be_v yet_o in_o death_n and_o condemnation_n have_v christ_n and_o have_v all_o thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o happy_a and_o glorious_a condition_n twofold_n therefore_o let_v those_o that_o have_v it_o desire_v to_o enlarge_v it_o more_o and_o more_o and_o those_o that_o want_v it_o let_v they_o seek_v to_o get_v it_o more_o first_o i_o say_v those_o that_o have_v it_o let_v they_o labour_n to_o enlarge_v it_o you_o will_v say_v if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n how_o can_v he_o be_v more_o if_o he_o be_v unite_v if_o he_o be_v marry_v to_o he_o how_o can_v he_o be_v more_o justification_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o point_n worth_a your_o consideration_n that_o you_o may_v be_v more_o in_o christ._n it_o be_v true_a justification_n in_o this_o sense_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n understand_v but_o it_o be_v indivisible_a either_o you_o be_v marry_v or_o not_o marry_v either_o you_o be_v in_o he_o or_o not_o in_o he_o so_o far_o indeed_o it_o admit_v of_o no_o degree_n but_o now_o when_o a_o spouse_n take_v a_o husband_n she_o have_v so_o much_o will_v as_o to_o resolve_v to_o make_v such_o a_o one_o her_o husband_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v degree_n of_o willingness_n she_o may_v will_v it_o more_o there_o may_v be_v more_o desire_n of_o it_o there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a approbation_n of_o it_o so_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o every_o man_n that_o be_v justify_v in_o christ_n be_v within_o the_o covenant_n within_o the_o door_n yet_o he_o may_v go_v in_o further_a or_o less_o far_o when_o he_o be_v within_o so_o i_o say_v you_o may_v be_v within_o the_o covenant_n but_o this_o take_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v in_o christ_n this_o receive_n of_o he_o admit_v of_o degree_n because_o though_o one_o be_v marry_v to_o a_o husband_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o will_n as_o to_o resolve_v to_o take_v he_o rather_o than_o refuse_v he_o yet_o this_o very_a will_n of_o take_v may_v be_v strong_a as_o her_o affection_n to_o he_o be_v more_o the_o reason_n be_v strong_a and_o large_a that_o invite_v she_o to_o take_v he_o so_o the_o union_n with_o christ_n may_v be_v near_o yet_o the_o knot_n may_v be_v yet_o strait_o and_o as_o that_o increase_v so_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o increase_v therefore_o the_o thing_n we_o will_v exhort_v you_o to_o be_v to_o be_v more_o in_o christ_n to_o get_v yet_o near_o to_o he_o you_o will_v say_v object_n how_o shall_v that_o be_v do_v consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o draw_v you_o to_o he_o answ._n do_v and_o to_o labour_v to_o intend_v all_o that_o that_o when_o you_o have_v take_v he_o you_o may_v yet_o make_v the_o union_n near_o and_o better_o than_o it_o be_v and_o these_o five_o thing_n will_v do_v it_o first_o consider_v your_o misery_n without_o he_o you_o do_v consider_v it_o before_o it_o which_o cause_v you_o to_o take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n he_o when_o you_o see_v you_o can_v not_o live_v without_o he_o but_o when_o you_o find_v that_o misery_n to_o be_v yet_o more_o your_o resolution_n will_v be_v strong_a you_o will_v more_o approve_v your_o action_n of_o take_v he_o you_o will_v prize_v he_o more_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v yet_o near_o christ_n reflect_v often_o on_o yourselves_o on_o your_o own_o condition_n and_o see_v what_o you_o be_v without_o he_o consider_v what_o your_o sin_n be_v how_o you_o shall_v have_v perish_v if_o you_o have_v not_o take_v he_o how_o miserable_a you_o be_v still_o how_o unable_a to_o help_v yourselves_o and_o the_o more_o humble_a you_o be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n and_o the_o more_o greedy_o you_o will_v receive_v he_o the_o more_o degree_n will_v be_v add_v to_o the_o take_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o that_o be_v one_o great_a mean_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o prize_n christ_n even_o to_o know_v our_o misery_n the_o prodigal_a son_n be_v teach_v to_o prize_v his_o be_v in_o his_o father_n house_n by_o the_o extremity_n of_o want_n he_o be_v in_o the_o more_o he_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o it_o the_o more_o he_o prize_v it_o labour_v therefore_o to_o know_v what_o you_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n to_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o it_o to_o know_v that_o you_o can_v subsist_v you_o can_v be_v without_o he_o christ._n again_o second_o labour_v more_o to_o know_v the_o virtue_n and_o the_o excellency_n of_o your_o husband_n for_o as_o they_o be_v more_o explicate_v and_o discover_v to_o you_o so_o you_o will_v love_v he_o more_o as_o one_o that_o be_v marry_v the_o more_o she_o see_v in_o her_o husband_n the_o more_o she_o desire_v he_o the_o more_o glad_a she_o be_v that_o the_o match_n be_v make_v there_o be_v the_o great_a degree_n of_o will_n to_o take_v her_o husband_n labour_v to_o see_v this_o

the_o more_o those_o virtue_n and_o excellency_n of_o christ_n be_v explicate_v and_o unfold_v and_o make_v manifest_a unto_o you_o the_o more_o you_o will_v love_v he_o and_o the_o near_a be_v the_o

than_o stock_n and_o stone_n now_o the_o scope_n of_o all_o this_o be_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ._n i_o will_v run_v over_o a_o few_o thing_n which_o may_v from_o hence_o be_v observe_v observe_v i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o revelation_n of_o wrath_n from_o heaven_n against_o all_o unrighteousness_n wherein_o mark_v two_o thing_n wrath_n first_o the_o certainty_n of_o this_o wrath_n it_o shall_v

a_o certainty_n in_o it_o for_o god_n have_v reveal_v it_o from_o heaven_n rom._n 2.15_o they_o have_v thought_n accuse_v and_o excuse_v they_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o deserve_v wrath_n judgement_n strike_v they_o with_o fear_n second_o it_o appear_v by_o experience_n there_o be_v many_o step_n many_o print_n and_o vestigia_fw-la of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n continual_o last_o by_o the_o scripture_n curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o the_o whole_a law_n to_o do_v it_o and_o as_o the_o law_n so_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v it_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n according_a to_o my_o gospel_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o old_a truth_n deliver_v before_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o judes_n epistle_n enoch_n preach_v behold_v the_o lord_n shall_v come_v with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o this_o will_v not_o persuade_v we_o will_v reason_n with_o you_o a_o little_a for_o it_o be_v not_o needless_a to_o strengthen_v these_o common_a truth_n with_o reason_n because_o we_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o they_o enough_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n man_n live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o consider_v if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o be_v not_o a_o negligent_a a_o idle_a or_o unactive_a god_n for_o shall_v he_o be_v such_o a_o god_n he_o must_v either_o be_v dead_a or_o asleep_a but_o god_n be_v a_o live_a god_n and_o if_o so_o then_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n now_o in_o that_o the_o main_a business_n be_v to_o punish_v and_o restrain_v they_o that_o be_v evil_a and_o to_o reward_v they_o that_o be_v good_a again_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o will_v be_v fear_v and_o worship_v by_o man_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v man_n for_o sin_n if_o his_o wrath_n can_v not_o be_v kindle_v against_o they_o for_o their_o provocation_n of_o he_o he_o shall_v do_v neither_o good_a nor_o hurt_n and_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o man_n to_o condemn_v that_o that_o can_v neither_o hurt_v nor_o profit_v they_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v fear_v again_o if_o there_o be_v any_o god_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v delight_v in_o goodness_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o certain_a inclination_n to_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a and_o right_a and_o if_o so_o than_o

of_o goodness_n proceed_v from_o hatred_n of_o evil_a and_o hatred_n of_o evil_n arise_v from_o love_n of_o goodness_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o shall_v not_o hatred_n be_v active_a as_o well_o as_o love_v therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o shall_v wrath_n come_v against_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n observable_a second_o what_o kind_n of_o wrath_n be_v this_o in_o this_o wrath_n you_o shall_v observe_v three_o thing_n first_o there_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o this_o wrath_n rom._n 2.5_o treasure_n thou_o according_a to_o the_o hardness_n of_o thy_o heart_n that_o can_v repent_v treasure_v up_o wrath_n now_o in_o a_o treasure_n you_o shall_v find_v three_o thing_n first_o it_o be_v a_o heap_n and_o there_o be_v still_o a_o addition_n thereto_o a_o man_n

to_o his_o viol_n and_o when_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v full_a than_o the_o viol_n of_o his_o wrath_n be_v full_a it_o be_v still_o increase_v let_v not_o a_o man_n think_v that_o when_o he_o be_v over_o the_o shoe_n he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o for_o wrath_n receive_v addition_n second_o treasure_n be_v close_o and_o cover_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o they_o for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v therefore_o say_v wrath_n be_v ●owne_n for_o the_o wicked_a as_o joy_n be_v sow_v for_o the_o righteous_a it_o lie_v under_o the_o ground_n for_o a_o time_n therefore_o do_v not_o say_v god_n be_v slack_a because_o you_o find_v not_o his_o wrath_n present_o pour_v forth_o it_o be_v not_o slackness_n but_o patience_n and_o if_o you_o do_v of_o negligence_n sin_n and_o god_n mark_n

this_o be_v not_o a_o light_a notion_n but_o of_o great_a moment_n for_o it_o will_v make_v thou_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n saint_n paul_n put_v this_o among_o the_o great_a mercy_n he_o have_v

that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n but_o god_n that_o do_v it_o word_n then_o do_v not_o expect_v from_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v with_o excellency_n of_o wisdom_n or_o of_o word_n that_o

therefore_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n these_o go_v together_o evidence_n of_o spirit_n and_o power_n what_o then_o be_v this_o preach_n in_o

it_o be_v foolishness_n to_o they_o that_o be_v child_n and_o unable_a to_o discern_v again_o though_o it_o be_v but_o foolishness_n on_o the_o outside_n yet_o there_o be_v treasure_n within_o and_o

with_o learning_n and_o when_o you_o see_v you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o man_n though_o never_o so_o excellent_a yet_o they_o be_v man_n but_o when_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o conscience_n now_o

and_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o write_v the_o epistle_n though_o we_o be_v the_o minister_n it_o be_v therefore_o not_o without_o use_n that_o we_o

such_o a_o change_n in_o you_o and_o know_v otherwise_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o in_o vain_a for_o what_o do_v we_o do_v when_o we_o preach_v the_o word_n we_o do_v as_o gehezi_n do_v he_o come_v
