by_o christ_n why_o then_o consider_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n speak_v in_o heaven_n against_o the_o recover_n of_o poor_a sinner_n out_o of_o their_o lose_a condition_n not_o a_o

and_o such_o a_o opposition_n that_o the_o thing_n propound_v be_v dash_v all_o to_o piece_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o heaven_n there_o every_o one_o be_v for_o it_o the_o father_n be_v for_o it_o the_o son_n be_v for_o it_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v for_o it_o and_o yet_o every_o one_o may_v have_v be_v against_o it_o and_o oh_o how_o much_o may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o have_v spoil_v all_o there_o be_v enough_o may_v have_v be_v allege_v to_o have_v turn_v all_o their_o heart_n against_o we_o but_o every_o one_o be_v willing_a that_o the_o business_n of_o our_o

appear_v in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n yet_o that_o they_o be_v all_o wellwisher_n to_o it_o here_o be_v no_o place_n leave_v for_o doubt_v whether_o their_o heart_n be_v as_o inclinable_a towards_o your_o salvation_n as_o christ_n do_v express_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n for_o they_o do_v all_o by_o mutual_a consent_n unite_v together_o in_o this_o design_n of_o do_v your_o soul_n good_a and_o the_o voice_n of_o one_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o all_o and_o when_o christ_n do_v invite_v and_o call_v poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o declare_v so_o much_o readiness_n to_o receive_v and_o embrace_v all_o that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v you_o must_v know_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o do_v this_o to_o show_v his_o own_o kindness_n and_o goodwill_n to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n but_o also_o to_o show_v what_o kindness_n and_o good_a will_v the_o other_o person_n have_v in_o their_o heart_n towards_o they_o too_o and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o 1_o joh._n 5._o 7._o you_o shall_v find_v they_o all_o join_v together_o in_o this_o matter_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n compare_v with_o ver_fw-la 11._o what_o a_o engagement_n than_o be_v it_o to_o we_o to_o accept_v of_o this_o salvation_n when_o we_o have_v as_o i_o may_v say_v three_z such_o great_a suitor_n seek_v to_o we_o the_o father_n

be_v all_o willing_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v we_o be_v all_o willing_a to_o close_v with_o this_o salvation_n 2._o since_o they_o all_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o it_o then_o in_o our_o labour_a to_o get_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n redemption_n we_o must_v look_v to_o all_o the_o three_o person_n it_o be_v not_o only_a christ_n in_o particular_a that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o

as_o for_o prayer_n why_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o father_n that_o he_o will_v draw_v we_o to_o his_o son_n as_o christ_n say_v joh._n 6._o 44._o no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o except_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v i_o draw_v he_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o son_n that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o heal_v we_o and_o that_o he_o will_v help_v our_o unbelief_n as_o you_o read_v they_o do_v in_o the_o gospel_n when_o he_o be_v here_o in_o his_o bodily_a presence_n we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o inlighten_v our_o mind_n in_o the_o save_a understanding_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n to_o sanctify_v we_o and_o make_v we_o obedient_a to_o the_o word_n of_o grace_n and_o effectual_o to_o apply_v to_o we_o the_o redemption_n that_o come_v by_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o but_o here_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o when_o we_o do_v thus_o express_v ourselves_o as_o sometime_o we_o may_v in_o such_o kind_n of_o petition_n as_o be_v direct_v more_o particular_o to_o one_o person_n we_o do_v think_v that_o the_o other_o person_n be_v at_o that_o time_n exclude_v and_o then_o we_o must_v look_v to_o all_o the_o three_o person_n in_o a_o way_n of_o thanksgiving_n for_o if_o every_o one_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o our_o redemption_n than_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o and_o so_o we_o may_v not_o only_o make_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o it_o to_o the_o whole_a godhead_n joint_o but_o also_o to_o each_o of_o the_o person_n particular_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v sometime_o do_v as_o for_o thanksgiving_n to_o the_o father_n see_v eph._n 1._o 3._o and_o for_o thanksgiving_n to_o the_o son_n rev._n 1._o 5_o 6._o and_o though_o we_o have_v not_o as_o i_o remember_v any_o scripture_n in_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v give_v thanks_o to_o in_o this_o particular_a way_n of_o name_v of_o he_o yet_o you_o must_v know_v that_o in_o those_o

there_o be_v two_o great_a attribute_n among_o all_o the_o rest_n which_o god_n do_v intend_v to_o glorify_v and_o that_o be_v his_o mercy_n and_o his_o justice_n his_o mercy_n will_v have_v be_v

if_o we_o be_v thus_o purchase_v by_o christ_n may_v believer_n say_v then_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v quit_v his_o interest_n in_o we_o for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o
