torch_n appear_v to_o be_v nothing_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n so_o if_o we_o can_v consider_v aright_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n all_o the_o fair_a speech_n of_o man_n will_v be_v as_o nothing_o now_o the_o way_n to_o get_v this_o magnanimity_n be_v to_o believe_v this_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o heaven_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o pusillanimity_n be_v the_o want_n of_o faith_n if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n will_v be_v with_o we_o that_o he_o be_v so_o great_a a_o god_n and_o that_o he_o do_v stand_v by_o and_o second_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o fearful_a as_o we_o be_v therefore_o strengthen_v your_o faith_n that_o you_o may_v have_v your_o mind_n enlarge_v that_o so_o you_o may_v walk_v without_o impediment_n and_o be_v perfect_a with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n that_o he_o be_v perfect_a with_o god_n in_o all_o his_o way_n finis_fw-la the_o sixteen_o sermon_n exod._n 3.13_o 14._o and_o moses_n say_v unto_o god_n behold_v when_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o shall_v say_v unto_o they_o the_o god_n of_o your_o father_n have_v send_v i_o unto_o you_o and_o they_o shall_v say_v unto_o i_o what_o be_v his_o name_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v unto_o they_o and_o

it_o have_v from_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n greatness_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o arise_v thus_o from_o it_o when_o a_o man_n consider_v that_o god_n be_v so_o exceed_v great_a and_o that_o he_o have_v interest_n in_o he_o that_o will_v make_v he_o to_o despise_v all_o other_o thing_n as_o small_a thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o he_o indeed_o if_o god_n be_v great_a and_o we_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o he_o than_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v take_v to_o ourselves_o this_o magnanimity_n upon_o any_o such_o ground_n but_o see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o great_a and_o that_o his_o greatness_n shall_v be_v improve_v to_o our_o advantage_n what_o addition_n can_v any_o thing_n else_o make_v unto_o we_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o paul_n raise_v his_o heart_n upon_o this_o ground_n phil._n 3.8_o consider_v the_o privilege_n that_o he_o have_v in_o christ_n this_o make_v he_o to_o account_v other_o thing_n as_o nothing_o hence_o in_o james_n 1.10_o let_v he_o that_o be_v of_o a_o high_a degree_n rejoice_v in_o that_o he_o be_v make_v low_o that_o be_v let_v he_o rejoice_v that_o he_o be_v enable_v to_o look_v upon_o his_o riches_n which_o he_o do_v so_o high_o magnify_v before_o to_o think_v they_o as_o nothing_o but_o as_o fade_a flower_n let_v he_o rejoice_v in_o it_o because_o now_o he_o be_v make_v a_o great_a man_n because_o he_o seem_v too_o big_a for_o they_o they_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o before_o he_o think_v they_o to_o be_v not_o that_o they_o be_v make_v less_o but_o because_o he_o be_v exalt_v and_o lift_v above_o they_o second_o so_o likewise_o there_o be_v a_o rise_n for_o it_o in_o this_o regard_n because_o he_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v we_o and_o protect_v we_o and_o bear_v we_o out_o against_o all_o opposition_n you_o see_v that_o man_n look_v great_a because_o they_o have_v get_v great_a man_n or_o prince_n to_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o but_o when_o man_n consider_v that_o they_o have_v the_o great_a god_n on_o their_o side_n to_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o why_o shall_v not_o they_o have_v great_a mind_n thus_o moses_n hebr._n 11._o regard_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n because_o he_o do_v see_v that_o god_n that_o be_v invisible_a that_o be_v when_o he_o consider_v god_n in_o his_o greatness_n the_o king_n and_o his_o wrath_n be_v nothing_o to_o he_o so_o that_o the_o way_n to_o get_v this_o magnanimity_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v our_o god_n and_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o man_n faith_n such_o will_v be_v this_o greatness_n and_o magnanimity_n of_o mind_n that_o we_o commend_v to_o you_o saul_n when_o he_o be_v a_o king_n have_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n because_o when_o he_o believe_v in_o earnest_n that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n he_o look_v upon_o thing_n after_o another_o manner_n he_o have_v other_o thought_n and_o other_o affection_n than_o he_o have_v before_o and_o so_o will_v any_o man_n else_o if_o he_o be_v advance_v from_o a_o mean_a estate_n to_o a_o kingdom_n and_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n we_o will_v have_v great_a mind_n therefore_o the_o strong_a our_o faith_n be_v the_o great_a our_o mind_n be_v only_o this_o be_v to_o be_v add_v that_o this_o faith_n must_v not_o be_v in_o the_o habit_n only_o in_o thou_o but_o it_o must_v be_v exercise_v and_o renew_v continual_o there_o must_v not_o be_v only_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o actual_a use_n of_o it_o and_o be_v

exceed_a great_a reward_n than_o all_o other_o reward_n will_v seem_v but_o small_a thing_n you_o shall_v see_v what_o david_n do_v upon_o this_o ground_n in_o psal._n 27.1_o the_o lord_n be_v my_o

that_o god_n be_v he_o he_o be_v my_o salvation_n second_o he_o consider_v the_o greatness_n and_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o god_n and_o from_o thence_o he_o draw_v this_o conclusion_n who_o shall_v i_o fear_v for_o in_o thou_o do_v i_o trust_v that_o be_v in_o this_o power_n and_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o the_o interest_n that_o i_o have_v in_o he_o psal._n 46.1.2.3_o god_n be_v our_o refuge_n and_o strength_n a_o very_a present_a help_n in_o trouble_n therefore_o will_v we_o not_o fear_v though_o the_o earth_n be_v remove_v and_o though_o the_o mountain_n be_v carry_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n though_o the_o water_n thereof_o roar_v and_o be_v trouble_v and_o though_o the_o mountain_n shake_v with_o the_o swell_a thereof_o that_o be_v when_o god_n be_v see_v in_o his_o greatness_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o he_o and_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o god_n and_o that_o we_o have_v interest_n in_o he_o in_o the_o great_a trouble_n and_o confusion_n that_o can_v befall_v we_o though_o the_o earth_n be_v shake_v and_o the_o mountain_n cast_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n yet_o the_o mind_n will_v not_o be_v shake_v but_o still_o remain_v the_o same_o they_o bear_v out_o all_o because_o they_o have_v a_o great_a god_n to_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o who_o will_v protect_v and_o defend_v they_o upon_o all_o occasion_n use_v 2_o if_o god_n be_v so_o great_a and_o infinite_a as_o he_o be_v hence_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o fear_v he_o greatness_n and_o to_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n a_o great_a and_o potent_a enemy_n man_n will_v fear_v therefore_o this_o be_v one_o use_v that_o we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n that_o his_o wrath_n be_v exceed_o great_a and_o so_o be_v his_o goodness_n and_o both_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v we_o ought_v to_o fear_v his_o wrath_n lest_o it_o come_v upon_o we_o and_o his_o goodness_n lest_o we_o lose_v it_o for_o he_o be_v a_o great_a god_n and_o his_o wrath_n be_v able_a to_o crush_v in_o piece_n and_o to_o consume_v we_o as_o he_o express_v it_o when_o he_o put_v forth_o but_o some_o part_n of_o his_o strength_n as_o when_o he_o consume_v they_o with_o their_o censer_n even_o the_o company_n of_o corah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n who_o can_v dwell_v with_o everlasting_a burn_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o be_v a_o great_a god_n who_o can_v come_v near_o he_o who_o can_v converse_v with_o he_o how_o shall_v man_n deal_v with_o he_o some_o of_o they_o there_o make_v a_o evil_a use_n of_o it_o but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o for_o our_o own_o advantage_n to_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o provoke_v he_o for_o be_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n our_o enemy_n let_v they_o

who_o be_v it_o that_o have_v draw_v these_o water_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o stand_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o make_v it_o habitable_a for_o man_n and_o beast_n say_v he_o be_v it_o not_o the_o lord_n 2_o and_o be_v not_o this_o prove_v by_o the_o flood_n vers_fw-la 6._o whereby_o the_o world_n 6._o that_o then_o be_v be_v overflow_v with_o water_n perish_v that_o be_v the_o water_n when_o god_n take_v away_o his_o hand_n return_v to_o their_o place_n and_o cover_v the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n now_o who_o be_v it_o that_o do_v dry_a the_o earth_n again_o and_o now_o reserve_v it_o to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v destroy_v by_o fire_n and_o this_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o famous_a story_n of_o the_o flood_n you_o have_v hear_v of_o it_o say_v he_o but_o of_o this_o they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a that_o be_v they_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o may_v be_v know_v but_o by_o reason_n of_o your_o lust_n which_o obscure_a your_o knowledge_n and_o hide_v those_o part_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n which_o god_n have_v plant_v in_o your_o heart_n therefore_o of_o these_o thing_n you_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a answ._n 2_o and_o therefore_o beside_o we_o will_v give_v this_o second_o answer_n to_o those_o that_o make_v this_o objection_n that_o thing_n be_v not_o alike_o since_o the_o creation_n for_o 1_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n have_v be_v turn_v many_o time_n as_o those_o miracle_n that_o the_o lord_n wrought_v in_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o make_v of_o it_o go_v backward_o he_o make_v the_o water_n to_o run_v a_o contrary_a course_n and_o stop_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o it_o so_o that_o it_o can_v do_v the_o three_o child_n no_o harm_n 2_o beside_o those_o miracle_n look_v upon_o the_o thing_n do_v among_o we_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v though_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o nature_n yet_o nature_n be_v turn_v of_o its_o course_n as_o in_o our_o body_n there_o be_v sickness_n and_o distemper_n so_o there_o be_v in_o the_o great_a body_n of_o the_o world_n strange_a inundation_n stir_n and_o alteration_n now_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o free_a agent_n that_o govern_v these_o why_o be_v these_o thing_n so_o and_o why_o no_o more_o why_o do_v these_o thing_n go_v so_o far_o and_o no_o further_o why_o be_v there_o any_o alteration_n at_o all_o and_o when_o any_o alteration_n come_v to_o pass_v who_o be_v he_o that_o stop_v they_o why_o do_v the_o sea_n overflow_v some_o place_n and_o go_v no_o further_o who_o be_v he_o that_o set_v bound_n to_o they_o but_o only_o the_o lord_n therefore_o this_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o it_o the_o constancy_n of_o these_o thing_n show_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v wisdom_n in_o we_o to_o do_v thing_n constant_o and_o again_o the_o variety_n of_o thing_n show_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o agent_n for_o the_o action_n of_o nature_n be_v determine_v to_o one_o but_o god_n show_v his_o liberty_n in_o this_o that_o he_o can_v change_v and_o alter_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n beside_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v ordinary_a among_o we_o wherein_o there_o be_v no_o such_o swarve_n but_o they_o be_v constant_a in_o their_o course_n do_v not_o god_n guide_v they_o and_o dispose_v of_o they_o as_o he_o please_v as_o the_o former_a and_o latter_a rain_n do_v not_o god_n give_v more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n which_o show_v that_o all_o thing_n have_v not_o continue_v alike_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o govern_v the_o world_n and_o as_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o natural_a thing_n so_o in_o other_o thing_n also_o you_o shall_v see_v some_o judgement_n and_o reward_n upon_o some_o and_o not_o upon_o other_o object_n oh_o but_o you_o say_v the_o world_n have_v continue_v very_o long_o and_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n but_o we_o see_v no_o such_o thing_n answ._n but_o say_v the_o lord_n a_o thousand_o year_n be_v to_o i_o but_o as_o one_o day_n and_o one_o day_n as_o a_o thousand_o year_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o may_v seem_v long_o to_o you_o who_o measure_n time_n by_o motion_n and_o revolution_n to_o your_o narrow_a understanding_n it_o may_v seem_v long_o but_o to_o god_n it_o do_v not_o a_o thousand_o year_n with_o he_o be_v but_o as_o one_o day_n where_o by_o the_o way_n we_o shall_v answer_v that_o fond_a objection_n object_n how_o the_o lord_n employ_v himself_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n answ._n a_o thousand_o year_n to_o he_o be_v but_o as_o one_o day_n and_o again_o one_o day_n be_v as_o the_o long_a time_n that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n of_o time_n with_o he_o to_o which_o i_o may_v add_v this_o that_o who_o know_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v indeed_o he_o make_v but_o one_o world_n to_o our_o knowledge_n but_o who_o know_v what_o he_o do_v before_o and_o what_o he_o will_v do_v after_o who_o know_v his_o counsel_n and_o who_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o he_o or_o of_o his_o action_n we_o can_v know_v no_o more_o nor_o judge_v no_o otherwise_o than_o he_o have_v reveal_v we_o have_v no_o other_o book_n to_o look_v into_o but_o

if_o we_o do_v not_o doubt_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o you_o see_v a_o great_a probability_n of_o a_o thing_n you_o can_v go_v and_o pray_v for_o it_o
