that_o do_v lead_v thereto_o then_o and_o then_o especial_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n and_o commendation_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o not_o to_o stand_v

in_o the_o 12._o of_o genesis_n but_o that_o can_v be_v he_o be_v not_o then_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a he_o consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n now_o dead_a when_o he_o be_v about_o a_o hundred_o

they_o answer_v it_o thus_o that_o abraham_n hideed_o at_o the_o first_o do_v consider_v his_o own_o body_n and_o do_v doubt_n through_o unbelief_n but_o afterward_o abraham_n recollect_v himself_o and_o get_v over_o that_o unbelief_n but_o the_o apostle_n he_o speak_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o 20._o verse_n he_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n through_o unbelief_n other_o they_o answer_v it_o by_o labour_v to_o sin_v out_o some_o mystical_a interpretation_n of_o those_o word_n shall_v a_o child_n be_v brone_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a and_o shall_v sarah_n that_o be_v ninety_o year_n old_a bear_n as_o if_o abraham_n say_v they_o have_v say_v thus_o lord_n thou_o have_v some_o secret_a meaning_n in_o these_o word_n i_o pray_v thou_o speak_v it_o out_o unto_o i_o and_o tell_v i_o plain_o thy_o meaning_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o god_n answer_v to_o that_o purpose_n in_o the_o 19_o verse_n and_o god_n say_v sarah_n thy_o wife_n shall_v bear_v thou_o a_o son_n indeed_o i_o mean_v according_a to_o my_o word_n sarah_n shall_v bear_v thou_o a_o son_n indeed_o but_o we_o need_v not_o strain_v for_o any_o mystical_a interpretation_n or_o

own_o body_n or_o the_o deadness_n of_o sarahs_n womb_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n especial_o considerable_a in_o these_o word_n first_o of_o all_o that_o abraham_n body_n and_o sarahs_n body_n be_v dead_a after_o god_n give_v out_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o great_a seed_n of_o he_o second_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o yet_o abraham_n believe_v &_o be_v commend_v for_o it_o he_o being_z not_o weak_a in_o the_o faith_n consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n be_v now_o dead_a and_o three_o that_o in_o all_o this_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o afterward_o according_o i_o will_v take_v up_o three_o observation_n thus_o first_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n by_o give_v any_o special_a blessing_n to_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n he_o do_v first_o of_o all_o put_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o blessing_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o second_o that_o then_o and_o then_o especial_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o three_o that_o no_o difficulty_n can_v stand_v before_o faith_n true_a save_v justify_v faith_n carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n discouragement_n and_o natural_a impossibility_n to_o jesus_n christ_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o at_o this_o time_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n by_o give_v any_o special_a blessing_n to_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n doct._n to_o believer_n he_o do_v first_o put_v the_o sentence_n of_o deathupon_o it_o and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o great_a seed_n like_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o sand_n upon_o the_o seashore_n be_v give_v to_o abraham_n but_o before_o it_o be_v fulfil_v abraham_n body_n be_v dead_a and_o sarahs_n womb_n dead_a the_o sentence_n of_o death_n put_v upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o and_o herein_o abraham_n be_v hold_v forth_o for_o our_o example_n it_o be_v write_v not_o for_o his_o sake_n alone_o at_o the_o 23._o verse_n but_o for_o we_o also_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v at_o the_o 24._o verse_n and_o as_o thus_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o abraham_n so_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n with_o all_o believer_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o give_v any_o special_a or_o great_a mercy_n by_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n he_o do_v first_o of_o all_o write_v down_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o upon_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v tend_v unto_o it_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n 12._o lsa_fw-la 62_o 12._o they_o be_v call_v the_o redeem_a of_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o because_o they_o be_v redeem_v from_o hell_n

of_o the_o patriarch_n all_o of_o they_o joseph_n you_o know_v have_v a_o promise_n by_o way_n of_o vision_n 37._o gen._n 37._o that_o his_o sheaf_n shall_v be_v high_o than_o all_o the_o sheaf_n

shall_v speak_v but_o two_o thing_n unto_o that_o brief_o a_o christian_a may_v have_v some_o persuasion_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o mercy_n when_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v put_v upon_o it_o answ_n 1_o by_o the_o frequent_a visit_n of_o the_o promise_n mark_v when_o god_n intend_v any_o special_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n he_o give_v out_o a_o promise_n then_o come_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n but_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o fulfil_v the_o promise_n he_o do_v cause_n the_o promise_n frequent_o to_o visit_v the_o soul_n even_o when_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v upon_o the_o business_n often_o to_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o soul_n when_o there_o be_v goodwill_n between_o two_o young_a people_n keep_v from_o marry_v by_o their_o parent_n and_o the_o

14.9_o job_n 14.9_o though_o the_o tree_n be_v cut_v down_o yet_o through_o the_o send_v of_o those_o water_n it_o shall_v rise_v again_o but_o especial_o in_o the_o second_o place_n a_o christian_a

john_n begin_v when_o he_o begin_v for_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 4._o the_o next_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n begin_v to_o

the_o same_o word_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 10._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o he_o send_v out_o his_o apostle_n for_o to_o preach_v he_o put_v the_o like_a word_n into_o their_o mouth_n also_o at_o the_o 7._o verse_n and_o as_o you_o go_v preach_v say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n there_o the_o word_n repent_v be_v not_o you_o will_v say_v but_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 6._o of_o mark_n and_o the_o 12._o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v say_v there_o then_o they_o go_v out_o and_o preach_v that_o man_n shall_v repent_v it_o be_v part_n of_o their_o commission_n and_o thus_o they_o be_v to_o preach_v repentance_n upon_o this_o motive_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n or_o the_o kingdom_n
of_o heaven_n be_v approach_v sure_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o great_a motive_n the_o motive_n of_o motive_n in_o the_o invitation_n to_o the_o great_a supper_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o gospel_n what_o be_v the_o motive_n use_v for_o to_o bring_v man_n unto_o the_o supper_n but_o this_o come_v for_o all_o thing_n be_v now_o ready_a mercy_n be_v ready_a the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n
