give_v all_o the_o respect_n that_o may_v be_v to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v the_o only_a saviour_n of_o soul_n and_o for_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n take_v heed_n you_o sin_v not_o

of_o i_o own_o heart_n more_o than_o all_o the_o good_a that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n now_o do_v you_o think_v can_v such_o a_o soul_n as_o this_o be_v save_v now_o you_o sin_n against_o the_o

people_n be_v mighty_a earnest_n about_o come_v to_o sacrament_n now_o do_v but_o read_v 1_o cor._n 11._o it_o be_v a_o scripture_n which_o i_o know_v you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o scripture_n

and_o drink_v your_o own_o soul_n damnation_n and_o then_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n let_v not_o mercy_n harden_v you_o but_o let_v it_o soften_v your_o heart_n oh_o that_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o good_a forwardness_n to_o be_v save_v that_o every_o time_n it_o think_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n it_o find_v itself_o to_o melt_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o mourn_v

for_o who_o shall_v hear_v and_o plead_v for_o thy_o soul_n before_o god_n when_o as_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v be_v thy_o

father_n father_n avenge_v thyself_o upon_o this_o wretch_n that_o have_v not_o only_o sin_v against_o thy_o work_n of_o creation_n but_o against_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n that_o i_o go_v

and_o against_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n and_o against_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n eleven_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o soul_n save_v take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n that_o must_v draw_v thou_o to_o christ_n and_o guide_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n if_o ever_o thou_o be_v save_v now_o take_v heed_n of_o slight_v the_o

world_n if_o they_o have_v they_o that_o they_o can_v have_v such_o stir_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o sometime_o they_o have_v feel_v oh_o now_o when_o the_o spirit_n stir_v and_o

when_o they_o be_v go_v to_o canaan_n they_o be_v very_o near_o canaan_n and_o when_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o border_n of_o it_o they_o refuse_v to_o go_v into_o the_o land_n when_o god_n will_v

lame_a in_o thy_o body_n yet_o if_o thou_o can_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n commandment_n and_o run_v there_o thou_o be_v a_o happy_a creature_n it_o may_v be_v thou_o want_v food_n i_o but_o if_o god_n feed_v thy_o soul_n with_o spiritual_a manna_n feed_v thou_o every_o day_n with_o food_n from_o heaven_n and_o take_v care_n for_o the_o feed_n of_o thy_o soul_n thou_o be_v not_o so_o miserable_a as_o thou_o think_v thyself_o thou_o have_v totter_a clothes_n i_o but_o if_o god_n have_v provide_v the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o garment_n to_o cloach_n thy_o soul_n every_o time_n thou_o appear_v before_o he_o thou_o be_v a_o happy_a creature_n in_o that_o therefore_o when_o thy_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o murmur_v that_o god_n have_v deny_v thou_o bodily_a mercy_n that_o he_o have_v grant_v to_o other_o think_v with_o thyself_o i_o but_o have_v not_o god_n recompense_v i_o in_o soul_n mercy_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o there_o be_v many_o soul_n that_o bless_v god_n that_o ever_o they_o have_v live_v to_o this_o time_n though_o they_o have_v suffer_v hard_a thing_n for_o their_o body_n many_o that_o have_v lose_v and_o be_v plunder_v of_o all_o yet_o bless_v god_n that_o they_o have_v live_v to_o the_o time_n wherein_o there_o be_v so_o much_o plenty_n of_o the_o food_n of_o soul_n oh_o those_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v reveal_v unto_o we_o since_o those_o time_n but_o have_v those_o that_o have_v the_o power_n before_o have_v the_o power_n still_o continue_v we_o have_v never_o have_v such_o truth_n make_v know_v unto_o we_o they_o account_v all_o recompense_v in_o soul-mercy_n in_o eph._n 1.3_o bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n mark_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v there_o his_o heart_n be_v fill_v with_o this_o bless_a be_v god_n and_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o good_a trade_n and_o good_a income_n that_o have_v give_v we_o food_n and_o raiment_n we_o be_v to_o bless_v god_n for_o this_o i_o but_o the_o apostle_n heart_n be_v above_o this_o therefore_o say_v he_o bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o christ_n they_o be_v the_o blessing_n indeed_o that_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v he_o for_o spiritual_a blessing_n soul-mercy_n as_o for_o bodily-mercy_n we_o know_v that_o the_o heathen_n and_o reprobate_n have_v have_v as_o great_a a_o share_n in_o as_o any_o in_o the_o world_n but_o bless_v be_v god_n though_o we_o be_v deny_v these_o outward_a bodily_a favour_n yet_o we_o have_v spiritual_a blessing_n oh_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n and_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n and_o this_o now_o will_v be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o you_o do_v know_v the_o worth_n of_o your_o soul_n if_o you_o can_v be_v blessing_n of_o god_n for_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o jesus_n christ_n above_o all_o blessing_n and_o account_v yourselves_o rich_a enough_o if_o you_o have_v the_o riches_n of_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o then_o further_o oh_o if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v so_o precious_a what_o great_a pity_n be_v it_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o honour_n of_o man_n soul_n of_o such_o a_o noble_a and_o excellent_a creature_n it_o be_v great_a pity_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o creature_n under_o the_o sun_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o honour_n of_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v honour_n from_o every_o pile_n of_o grass_n from_o every_o bit_n of_o bread_n that_o be_v eat_v from_o every_o stone_n in_o the_o street_n but_o now_o that_o god_n shall_v give_v to_o mankind_n such_o a_o excellent_a spirit_n a_o soul_n more_o precious_a than_o all_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o oh_o this_o be_v a_o evil_a thing_n under_o the_o sun_n indeed_o this_o must_v needs_o go_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v god_n have_v his_o glory_n from_o all_o other_o creature_n by_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n as_o for_o other_o creature_n he_o have_v his_o glory_n but_o passive_o from_o they_o but_o for_o man_n soul_n he_o do_v expect_v to_o have_v his_o glory_n active_o from_o that_o that_o man_n by_o his_o soul_n shall_v come_v to_o know_v this_o god_n the_o infinite_a first-being_a of_o all_o thing_n shall_v fear_v he_o and_o worship_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o praise_v he_o and_o therefore_o david_n in_o psal_n 103._o my_o soul_n praise_n thou_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n and_o again_o he_o conclude_v my_o soul_n praise_n thou_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o in_o psal_n 104._o now_o upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o shall_v lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o do_v honour_n god_n and_o serve_v god_n what_o a_o sad_a charge_n will_v this_o be_v to_o many_o a_o man_n at_o the_o great_a day_n when_o god_n shall_v say_v have_v thou_o be_v make_v a_o dog_n i_o never_o have_v have_v so_o much_o dishonour_n as_o i_o have_v have_v i_o shall_v have_v have_v more_o honour_n if_o i_o have_v make_v thou_o a_o dog_n there_o i_o shall_v have_v have_v my_o honour_n passive_o and_o no_o dishonour_n from_o thou_o but_o now_o thou_o be_v make_v a_o immortal_a soul_n as_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o honour_v i_o so_o of_o sin_v against_o i_o the_o more_o excellent_a a_o thing_n be_v the_o more_o capable_a of_o evil_n it_o be_v as_o well_o as_o of_o good_a no_o creature_n but_o angel_n and_o man_n be_v able_a to_o sin_n against_o god_n oh_o it_o be_v pity_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o honour_n of_o thy_o immortal_a soul_n god_n have_v more_o honour_n from_o nabuchadnezzar_n when_o he_o be_v drive_v out_o

take_v heed_n of_o dishonour_v these_o soul_n of_o you_o god_n have_v put_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o glory_n and_o excellency_n upon_o they_o do_v not_o you_o dishonour_v they_o and_o many_o way_n shall_v have_v be_v say_v how_o man_n do_v put_v dishonour_n upon_o their_o soul_n only_o for_o the_o conclusion_n oh_o that_o you_o will_v but_o learn_v to_o love_v your_o own_o soul_n to_o love_v they_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a exhortation_n you_o will_v say_v to_o exhort_v man_n to_o love_v their_o soul_n oh_o that_o you_o will_v but_o do_v it_o psal_n 22._o david_n call_v his_o soul_n his_o

of_o god_n this_o be_v not_o so_o wonderful_a but_o that_o miserable_a man_n must_v be_v save_v by_o one_o that_o be_v god-man_n man_n and_o god_n this_o be_v that_o that_o except_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n as_o you_o have_v it_o before_o reveal_v it_o unto_o a_o man_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n ever_o to_o have_v such_o a_o thought_n as_o this_o be_v and_o indeed_o the_o set_v out_o of_o this_o so_o great_a a_o mystery_n be_v one_o great_a argument_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v divine_a for_o it_o be_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n to_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o creature_n i_o say_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n that_o ever_o a_o creature_n shall_v have_v such_o a_o thought_n that_o the_o save_n of_o man_n must_v

incline_v to_o do_v good_a to_o you_o and_o willing_a to_o save_v you_o but_o know_v your_o estate_n be_v such_o as_o you_o can_v never_o be_v save_v except_o there_o be_v such_o a_o saviour_n such_o a_o mediator_n for_o you_o as_o must_v be_v god_n and_o man_n both_o why_o certain_o both_o angel_n and_o man_n will_v have_v stand_v amaze_v at_o this_o and_o have_v conclude_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o mankind_n be_v desperate_a then_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o man_n that_o be_v fall_v from_o god_n and_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o be_v such_o as_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o

have_v even_o conclude_v than_o man_n must_v perish_v for_o ever_o but_o it_o be_v god_n the_o wonder-working_a god_n that_o have_v wrought_v thus_o for_o mankind_n which_o have_v send_v we_o such_o a_o saviour_n as_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n sure_o then_o his_o name_n may_v be_v call_v wonderful_a christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o person_n but_o second_o here_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n than_o that_o god_n be_v god_n and_o man_n god_n and_o man_n you_o will_v say_v that_o may_v be_v he_o have_v come_v in_o the_o similitude_n of_o flesh_n and_o have_v take_v the_o shape_n of_o man_n some_o kind_n of_o union_n there_o may_v be_v between_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n but_o consider_v this_o second_o wonder_n he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n but_o a_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n consider_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n first_o he_o be_v to_o be_v look_v at_o not_o mere_o as_o god_n but_o as_o god_n the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n for_o it_o be_v little_o know_v before_o we_o read_v but_o little_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n about_o the_o trinity_n only_o in_o christ_n the_o trinity_n come_v to_o be_v know_v when_o we_o be_v in_o strait_n we_o will_v cry_v to_o god_n that_o make_v the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o be_v a_o saviour_n but_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o must_v be_v save_v by_o god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n that_o be_v the_o character_n and_o engrave_v form_n of_o his_o image_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o so_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n equal_a with_o his_o father_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v and_o so_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n as_o yet_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o his_o father_n be_v of_o the_o same_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n that_o appear_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a wonder_n above_o reason_n that_o we_o may_v adore_v it_o but_o search_v into_o it_o we_o be_v not_o able_a and_o then_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o his_o person_n be_v this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n and_o man_n but_o god_n and_o man_n hypostatical_o unite_v the_o union_n of_o the_o nature_n that_o these_o nature_n shall_v be_v unite_v both_o in_o one_o person_n this_o be_v the_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n there_o be_v two_o principal_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v aright_o of_o they_o the_o first_o be_v divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n religion_n 2_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n the_o second_o be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n these_o be_v the_o two_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n first_o divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n and_o that_o be_v the_o wonder_n of_o the_o trinity_n for_o there_o you_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n but_o three_o person_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o the_o heathen_n know_v nothing_o of_o and_o be_v little_o know_v till_o christ_n come_v and_o the_o second_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n christ_n be_v god-man_n but_o one_o person_n unite_v hypostatical_o now_o to_o search_v into_o this_o that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v god_n be_v man_n and_o how_o the_o humane_a nature_n subsist_v in_o the_o deity_n and_o have_v no_o subsistence_n at_o all_o in_o its_o self_n but_o in_o the_o deity_n how_o this_o be_v only_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o how_o it_o be_v i_o say_v be_v too_o deep_a a_o sea_n for_o any_o creature_n to_o wade_v into_o we_o must_v stand_v and_o admire_v it_o and_o adore_v god_n in_o it_o that_o have_v reveal_v this_o as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o to_o be_v able_a to_o search_v how_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v that_o that_o union_n can_v be_v in_o one_o person_n this_o be_v that_o that_o be_v a_o wonder_n above_o all_o admiration_n indeed_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o wonderful_a work_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v in_o the_o world_n to_o unite_v two_o such_o creature_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o such_o distant_a nature_n as_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o one_o person_n to_o unite_v a_o piece_n of_o earth_n and_o a_o piece_n of_o flesh_n to_o such_o a_o glorious_a thing_n as_o a_o rational_a immortal_a soul_n be_v the_o union_n of_o these_o two_o together_o in_o one_o person_n be_v the_o great_a work_n for_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v in_o the_o world_n david_n see_v his_o
