how_o be_v it_o therefore_o with_o you_o holy_a and_o belove_a brethren_n in_o the_o lord_n do_v you_o come_v to_o christ_n in_o your_o temptation_n do_v you_o strive_v together_o in_o love_n for_o

my_o salvation_n this_o be_v too_o large_a a_o subject_n to_o speak_v to_o now_o i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o to_o it_o let_v i_o desire_v you_o to_o study_v much_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o general_a and_o consider_v also_o much_o and_o frequent_o the_o particular_a instance_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o god_n have_v show_v to_o other_o and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o be_v all_o of_o free_a grace_n yea_o and_o this_o scripture_n show_v you_o that_o all_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o get_v assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o the_o particular_a instance_n and_o example_n of_o the_o mercy_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o other_o shall_v much_o encourage_v we_o and_o bear_v we_o up_o and_o shall_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o get_v assurance_n grace_n and_o mercy_n be_v show_v to_o other_o do_v not_o only_o show_v that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v but_o that_o mercy_n have_v be_v have_v when_o you_o see_v the_o ice_n tread_v than_o you_o say_v you_o will_v venture_v so_o say_v such_o a_o one_o be_v unworthy_a such_o a_o one_o profane_a and_o yet_o he_o have_v obtain_v mercy_n and_o why_o may_v not_o i_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v assurance_n of_o your_o salvation_n think_v much_o of_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o withal_o consider_v the_o particular_a instance_n and_o example_n of_o other_o that_o have_v obtain_v this_o mercy_n and_o that_o in_o a_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o love_v too_o five_o and_o last_o to_o conclude_v be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n save_v the_o soul_n free_o and_o that_o our_o salvation_n be_v only_o by_o the_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n of_o god_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o come_v with_o boldness_n for_o salvation_n since_o it_o be_v so_o free_a o_o let_v none_o be_v discourage_v but_o let_v it_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o come_v with_o boldness_n and_o to_o plead_v for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v free_a be_v salvation_n free_a and_o will_v not_o poor_a sinner_n come_v to_o receive_v it_o come_v o_o come_v free_o for_o salvation_n christ_n jesus_n be_v willing_a to_o make_v good_a his_o own_o name_n and_o this_o be_v his_o name_n he_o be_v call_v jesus_n and_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n this_o be_v the_o will_v also_o of_o my_o father_n that_o you_o shall_v come_v unto_o i_o john_n 6._o christ_n jesus_n have_v now_o salvation_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o will_v you_o not_o come_v and_o ask_v for_o it_o but_o methinks_v i_o see_v salvation_n in_o your_o face_n methinks_v i_o hear_v a_o

if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v you_o must_v become_v as_o little_a child_n for_o say_v our_o saviour_n unless_o you_o become_v as_o little_a child_n you_o can_v be_v save_v mat._n 18.3_o you_o can_v

the_o latter_a clause_n of_o the_o verse_n but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o this_o chapter_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n most_o considerable_a first_o the_o

second_o you_o have_v make_v know_v to_o you_o what_o nehemiah_n do_v in_o this_o case_n in_o the_o 6_o and_z 7_o verses_z and_o i_o be_v very_o angry_a when_o i_o hear_v their_o cry_n and_o these_o

for_o they_o that_o trust_v in_o thou_o before_o the_o son_n of_o men._n yea_o further_o if_o you_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v upon_o you_o for_o good_a unto_o he_o will_v i_o look_v that_o tremble_v unto_o he_o will_v i_o look_v that_o fear_v say_v the_o lord_n again_o if_o you_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v delight_v in_o you_o yea_o god_n will_v be_v a_o god_n unto_o you_o god_n will_v be_v a_o strong_a tower_n to_o you_o and_o he_o will_v sanctify_v all_o unto_o you_o and_o to_o say_v no_o more_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n shall_v want_v no_o good_a thing_n o_o what_o a_o bless_a thing_n be_v it_o then_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n for_o from_o he_o god_n will_v withhold_v no_o good_a thing_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o

second_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a then_o here_o you_o may_v see_v who_o those_o be_v that_o fear_n god_n in_o truth_n there_o be_v many_o pretender_n to_o it_o but_o we_o find_v here_o that_o those_o that_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n can_v will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v they_o will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o choice_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o

and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o few_o be_v there_o that_o fear_n the_o lord_n in_o truth_n they_o that_o true_o fear_v god_n say_v always_o as_o nehemiah_n but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o be_v many_o that_o lie_v quiet_a under_o sin_n of_o omission_n and_o under_o sin_n of_o commission_n too_o but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n do_v other_o sin_n and_o do_v other_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o do_v so_o but_o let_v we_o say_v with_o nehemiah_n but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n o_o therefore_o let_v i_o desire_v all_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o for_o you_o that_o do_v fear_v the_o lord_n be_v you_o comfort_v for_o comfort_n belong_v

that_o you_o have_v true_a grace_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o that_o you_o be_v one_o of_o they_o that_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o be_v you_o comfort_v for_o comfort_n belong_v

that_o man_n be_v not_o far_o from_o grace_n who_o be_v humble_v for_o the_o want_n of_o grace_n a_o man_n will_v never_o be_v humble_v for_o unbelief_n unless_o he_o be_v humble_v for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o second_o go_v to_o god_n and_o beg_v of_o he_o to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n god_n have_v say_v i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n into_o their_o heart_n now_o go_v to_o god_n i_o say_v and_o

if_o you_o will_v fear_v the_o lord_n in_o truth_n than_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o his_o own_o appointment_n take_v heed_n of_o mingle_v of_o god_n worship_n with_o any_o of_o man_n
