I
Counsel
thee
to
buy

me
gold
tried
in
the
Fire
that
thou
mayest
be
Rich

and
white
raiment
that
thou
mayest
be
cloathed

that
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness
do
not
appear
;

anoint
thine
eyes
with

that
thou
mayest
see

giveth
such
a
descritpion
of
himself
as
in
which
he
giveth
us
to
understand
,
that
he
is
excellent
and
comely
for
the
escape
of
such
as
have
fallen
away
by
their
iniquities
,
and
thereby
brought
themselves
into
a
loathsome
condition
;
and
deserve
,

are
threatned
to
be
cast
forth
as
abominable
branches
persisting
therein
;
though
such
have
destroyed
themselves
,
yet
in

is
help
,
salvation
,
and
recovery
for
them

Those
great
and
precious
promises
appertaining
to
Life
and
godliness
,
yea
to
this
life
,
and
that
to
come
,
are
not
only
assured
by
the
word
of
God
,
and
confirmed
by
his
Oath
,
which
yet
are
two
immutable
things
,
in
which
it
is
impossible
for
God
to
lye
,
and
therefore
might
quicken
and
encourage
lukewarm
ones
to
flee
for
refuge
to
lay
hold
on
that
hope
set
before
them
;
but
actually
made
firme
by
the
blood
of
the
Testatour
,
who
is
also
in
the
virtue
thereof
raised
,
and
as
the
forerunner
entred
into
Heaven
,
and
is
the
Mediatour
of
the
New
Testament
,
that
by
means
of
death
for
the
redemption
of
the
transgressions
under
the
first
Testament
,
they
which
are
called
may
receive
the
promise
of
the
eternal
Inheritance
:
He
Mediateth
,
and
maketh
Intercession
for
the
taking
away
the
iniquities
of
those
that
come
to
God
by
him
;
and
that
the
contents
of
that
Covenant
may
be
dispensed
to
them
according
to
their
needs
and
capacities
:
God
hath
promised
,
and
Christ
hath
actually
said
,
and
is
,
the
Amen
to
them

It
may
seem
,
in
that
Jesus
Christ
doth
first
describe
himself
by
this
title
of
the
Amen
,
that
these
likewarme
ones
did
not
keep
in
believing
remembrance
the
promises
,
and
the
firmeness
,
and
immutability
of
them
,
and
certainty
of
their
performance
according
to
the
tenour
of
them
,
being
ratified
by
such
precious
blood
,
and
ascertained
by
such
a
faithful
and
true
witness
;
and
therefore
they
grew
sluggish
,
remiss
,
and
indifferent
,
and
there
was
a
great
abatement
of
their
former
fervency
,
either
fearing
they
should
be
left
in
sufferings
,
or
not
provided
for
,
or
dispensed
unto
according
to
their
wants
;
and
therefore
to
recover
them
,
he
telleth
them
his
name
is
the
Amen
:
The
consideration
hereof
is
powerful
to
stirr
up
to
diligence
,
and
to
recover
us
from
our
decays
,
to
cause
us
that
we
shall
not
be
slothful
,
but
followers
,
diligent
followers
,
of
them
who
through
faith
and
patience
inherit
the
promises
.

if
these
exceeding

precious

given
to
the

to
minister

by
them
in
,
and
with
the
glorious
Gospel
be
in

received

if
they
be

to
dwell
richly
in

and
to
have
their
perfect
work
,
so
as
we
limit
them
not
,
nor
hold
them
in
unrighteousness
,
they
make
us
that
we
shall
not
be
idle
,
or
unfruitful
in
the
knowledge
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
:
They
will
provoke
us
to
flee
from
,
and
escape
the
corruption
that
is
in
the
world
thorow
lust
;
and
besides
,
giving
all
diligence
thereto
,
they
will
inable
and
stir
us
up
to
add
to
our
faith

resolution

to
be

and
days

the
kingdome
of

consisteth

in

exercise
of
those
efficacies
of
his
grace

resting
in

Lord
,

waiting
patiently
for
him

and
to
patience

godliness
(
worshipping

rejoycing
in
Christ
Jesus

having
no
confidence
in
the
flesh

imitating

dear

the
light

to
godliness

brotherly
kindness
(
loving
the
brethren
with
delightful
and
peculiar
manner

love

not
pretending
we
are
right
worshippers
of
God
,
while
we
are
without
brotherly
kindness
to
those
borne
of
him
;
For
every
one
that
loveth
him
that
begat
,
loveth
them
also
that
are
begotten
of
him
:
For
if
a
man
say
,
I
love
God
,
and
hateth
his
Brother
,
he
is
a
liar
;
for
he
that
loveth
not
his
Brother
whom
he
hath
seen
,
how
can
he
love
God
whom
he
hath
not
seen
and
to
brotherly
kindness
,
charity
(
that
free
manner
of
love
which
is
exercised
towards
others
,
not
because
of
somewhat
lovely
and
amiable
in
them
,
but
from
an
higher
reason
,
and
motive
,
even
from
the
constraining
operation
of
the
love
of
God
in
Christ
,
and
thence
to
have
fervent
charity
among
our selves

to
love
all
men

To
these
things
will
these
precious
promises
,
confirmed
by
such
precious
blood
,
enliven
,
and
quicken
us
,
if
they
be
suffered
to
dwell
richly
in
us

hereby
we
shall
be
made
partakers
of
the
Divine
nature

in
union

Oh!
how
effectual
were
the
promises
with
the
Patriarchs
in
former
times
(
when
they
were
not
so
confirmed
as
now
)
to
make
them
forsake
their
Countrey
,
Kindred
,
and
Fathers

;
To
confess
themselves
strangers

pilgrims
on

earth
,
&c.
These
believed
caused
Abraham
,
the
Father
of

,
not
to
consider
his
own
body

neither
yet
the
deadness
of
Sarah's
Womb

was
strong
in
faith

giving
glory
to
God
;
and
being
fully
perswaded
that
what
God
had
promised
he
was
able
also
to
performe
;
and
therefore
it
was
imputed
to
him
for
righteousness
:
Now
it
was
not
written
for
his
sake
alone
,
that
it
was
imputed
to
him
,
but
for
us
also
,
to
whom
it
shall
be
imputed
,
if
we
believe
on
him
who
hath
performed
the
promise
made
to
the
fathers
,
in
raising
Christ
from
the
dead
,
who
was
delivered
for
our
offences
,
and
raised
again
for
our
justification

hath
not

should
perish

in

was
manifested
the
love

because
God
sent
his
only

Son
into
the

that
we
might
live
through

herein
is
love

not
that

loved

that

loved

he
of
the
greatness

!
and
how
powerful
therefore
is
the
view
of
him
in
his
Cross
,
to
cure
us
of
our
lukewarmness
!
do
ye
thus
requite
the
Lord
,
O
foolish
people
and
unwise
?
is
he
not
thy
father
that
hath
bought
thee
?
Oh
how
doth
this
love
constrain
us
to
love
him
,
and
to
cleave
to
him
with
full
purpose
,
to
give
him
our
hearts
,

let
our
Eyes
observe
his
ways

and
how
doth
this
incourage

imbolden
us
to
follow
him
fully
,
who
hath
delivered
us
from
our
enemies
,
that
we
might
serve
him
without
fear
,

who
is
become
the
treasury

we
might
come
with
boldness
to

hold
fast
our

?
Yea
,
and
to
return
to
him
when
we
have
fallen
by
our
iniquities
;
for
herein
he
sheweth
us
he
hath
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
him

dieth
,

so
not
in
the
death
and
destruction

to
those
that
were
over

in

,
and
did
,
or
should
go
before
them
in
the
word
of

,

and
this
Counsel
is
given
to
the
Angel
in
the
first
place
.
Because
by
their
office
and
furniture
they
are
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
stewards
of
the
mysteries
of
God
;
and
it
is
required
of
them
that
they
be
found
faithful
in
communicating
to
others
,
what
is
given
and
imparted
to
them
for
their
good
,
1

,

They
are
set
to
watch
for
the
Souls
of
others
,
as
they
that
must
give
an
account
.
Heb.
13.
17.
And
to
them
first
to
signifie
,
that
they
are
first
to
re-receive
from
Christ
what
they
give
and
communicate
to
others
;
they
also
are
to
be
swift
to
hear
slow
to
speak
:
that
they
may
speak
his
words
they
are
first
to
hear
what
he
speaketh
to
them
,
and
to
eat
his
words
,
consider
them
,
digest
them
,
meditate
on
them
,
Receive
in
their
Heart
all
the
words
he
speaketh
unto
them
in
his
Testimony
,
and
hear
them
with
their
ears
,
and
then
go
and
speak
to
his
people
,
and
cause
them
to
hear
his
words
,
that
so
they
go
not
before
they
are
sent
,
for
what
have
they
worthy
communicating
,
but
what
they
receive
?

And
to
them
;
because
they
themselves
might
be
polluted
with
this
distemper
,
and
be
lukewarm
,
and
through
their
slothfulness
and
negligence
,
doing
the
work
of
the
Lord
negligently
,
they
might
be
some
occasion
of
this
distemper
in
the
Church
,
as
our
Saviour
signifieth
,
that
while
the
servants
also
slept
,
the
enemy
came
and
sowed
tares
.
Matt.
13.
25.
And
to
them
first
might
this
Epistle
be
sent
,
and
counsel
given
,
that
they
might
judge
and
take
shame
to
themselves
,
and
receive
reproof
,
and
be
recovered
;
and
when
they
themselves
did
repent
,
and
were
converted
,
they
might
be
instruments
of
returning
,
restoring
,
and
strengthening
their
brethren
,
as
Luk.
22.
32.
And
yet
also
this
counsel
was
given
to
the
whole
Church
in
Laodicea
,
as
appeareth
,
in
that
Jesus
Christ
giveth
instruction
to
John
that
what
he
saw
he
should
write
in
a
book
,
and
send
it
unto
the
Seven
Churches
which
are
in
Asia
,
unto
Ephesus
—
and
unto
Laodicea
:
Yea
the
instruction
and
counsel
given
to
this
Church
is
needful
to
be
minded
,
and
considered
by
the
residue
of
the
Churches
;
yea
and
to
be
heard
by
every
one
that
hath
an
Ear
;
as
is
signified
Rev.
3.
22.
He
that
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
saith
unto
the
Churches
.
—
2.
And
to
what
manner
of
persons
this
counsel
is
given
,
we
may
be
helped
to
see
and
understand
in
what
followeth
.
—
Vers.
15.
I
know
thy
works
,
]
By
[
knowing
]
here
,
is
not
only
meant
,
a
seeing
and
understanding
what
they
were
,
and
of
what
nature
;
for
so
he
seeth
and
knoweth
all
things
.
Joh.
21.
17.
Nor
at
all
an
owning
and
approving
them
:
Indeed
the
word
[
know
]
doth
many
times
signify
,
approve
,
as
,
the
Lord
knoweth
the
way
of
the
righteous
;
he
owneth
it
,
and
will
preserve
it
for
ever
,
as
opposed
to
the
perishing
of
the
way
of
the
ungodly
.
Psal.
1.
6.
And
so
the
Lord
knoweth
them
that
are
his
,
that
come
unto
,
and
abide
upon
the
foundation
of
God
.
2
Tim.
2.
19.
So
1
Cor.
8.
3.
Joh.
10.
27.
But
in
this
sense
,
he
did
not
know
their
works
,
for
their
works
were
not
perfect
before
him
;
as
Rev.
3.
2.
But
hereby
[
know
]
is
meant
,
I
take
notice
off
,
and
wistly
observe
thy
works
;
I
consider
them
,
and
the
nature
and
quality
of
them
:
In
this
sense
it
is
often
to
be
taken
both
as
with
respect
to
God
and
men
:
So
with
respect
to
God
,
and
by
him
it
is
said
,
Hos.
13.
5.
I
did
know
thee
in
the
Wilderness
;
namely
,
he
did
then
take
notice
of
them
,
to
provide
for
them
,
and
take
care
of
them
;
and
rebuke
and
chasten
them
as
need
was
:
So
the
Psalmist
,
it
seemeth
,
useth
considering
,
and
knowing
,
as
words
of
a
like
signification
,
when
he
saith
,
thou
hast
considered
my
trouble
,
thou
hast
known
my
soul
in
adversities
.
Psal.
31.
7.
So
with
respect
to
men
,
As
,
not
knowing
(
minding
,
considering
,
taking
notice
)
that
the
goodness
of
God
leadeth
thee
to
repentance
.
Rom.
2.
4.
So
it
is
used
in
this
sense
in
the
beginning
of
every
of
the
messages
to
the
Churches
:
And
in
that
he
saith
,
I
know
,
I
take
notice
of
thy
works
,
he
signifieth
.
1.
That
he
doth
not
pass
sentence
upon
men
,
or
their
works
,
he
doth
not
approve
,
or
reprove
,
till
first
he
considereth
their
works
;
he
taketh
notice
of
them
,
and
pondereth
all
their
goings
,
before
he
justifieth
,
or
condemneth
.
Prov.
5.
21.
Hence
in
every
of
the
Epistles
to
the
Seven
Churches
,
after
he
directeth
them
,
and
giveth
a
description
of
himself
,
he
first
saith
,
I
know
thy
works
,
Rev.

The
Lord
is
a
God
of
judgment
,
and
by
him
Actions
are
weighed
.
1
Sam.
2.
3.
So
when
the
cry
of
Sodom
was
great
,
and
their
sin
grievous
,
he
saith
,
I
will
go
down
now
,
and
see
whether
they
have
done
altogether
according
to
the
cry
of
it
which
is
come
unto
me
,
and
if
not
I
will
know
,
Gen.
18.
21.
He
is
excellent
in
power
,
and
in
judgment
,
and
in
plenty
of
justice
,
he
will
not
afflict
;
men
do
therefore
fear
him
.
Job
37.
23
,
24.
And
this
is
for
instruction
to
us
,
that
we
should
not
reprove
,
or
fault
another
,
till
we
consider
what
his
works
are
,
and
know
and
take
notice
that
they
are
such
as
are
condemnable
by
the
light
of
the
glorious
Gospel
;
but
to
be
imitatours
of
Christ
Jesus
according
to
the
instructions
of
his
Grace
,
—
2.
In
that
he
saith
,
I
know
thy
works
,
he
signifieth
his
love
to
us
,
and
care
of
us
;
such
is
his
love
and
kindness
towards
us
that
he
considereth
our
works
,
that
if
they
be
not
perfect
before
him
,
and
in
his
sight
,
he
may
rebuke
us
,
and
not
suffer
sin
upon
us
.
Levit.
19.
17.
So
great
is
his
charity
towards
us
that
he
covereth
our
sins
,
so
as
to
seek
and
pursue
our
good
;
and
such
is
his
charity
,
that
it
leadeth
him
to
take
notice
of
our
works
,
that
when
need
is
he
may
reprove
us
;
and
sanctify
,
and
cleanse
us
with
the
washing
of
water
by
the
word
.
So
when
he
declareth
his
love
and
faithfulness
towards
Israel
,
he
saith
,
I
have
been
a
rebuker
of
them
all
;
and
addeth
,
I
know
,
I
take
notice
of
Ephraim
,
and
Israel
is
not
hid
from
me
:
—
They
will
not
frame
their
doings
to
turn
unto
the
Lord
.
Hos.
5.
2
,
4.
3.
He
herein
gives
us
to
understand
whose
works
he
knoweth
especially
,
and
taketh
notice
of
;
I
know
[
thy
]
works
;
their
works
that
have
had
means
and
advantages
.
He
knoweth
not
,
in
this
sense
mens
works
,
till
he
preventeth
them
with
his
goodness
;
he
looketh
not
to
gather
Grapes
of
Thornes
,
nor
Figs
of
Thistles
;
he
knoweth
that
in
us
,
as
of
us
dwelleth
no
good
thing
;
and
that
our
works
must
needs
be
evil
,
and
unprofitable
before
his
Grace
bringeth
salvation
to
men
,
as
it
doth
to
all
men
in
due
time
.
Titus
2.
11.
But
when
he
hath
vouchsafed
some
means
,
and
afforded
some
light
to
men
,
then
he
looketh
down
from
Heaven
to
see
if
there
be
any
that
understand
,
and
seek
after
God
.
Psal.
14.
2.
He
fashioneth
mens
hearts
alike
,
and
(
then
)
he
considereth
all
their
works
.
Psal.
33.
15.
But
especially
when
men
are
brought
unto
,
and
planted
in
his
Vineyard
,
then
he
pondereth
what
their
doings
are
:
He
expecteth
that
there
should
be
some
return
from
them
suitable
to
the
means
used
,
pains
taken
,
and
care
exercised
towards
and
about
them
.
So
he
saith
,
for
instruction
to
us
also
,
Behold
(
mind
this
well
,
and
give
attention
to
it
)
these
three
years
I
come
seeking
Fruit
of
this
Fig-tree
.
Luk.

So
when
he
telleth
us
what
he
had
done
to
his
Vineyard
,
that
he
fenced
it
,
and
gathered
out
the
stones
thereof
,
and
planted
it
with
the
choicest
Vine
,
and
built
a
Towre
in
the
midst
of
it
,
and
also
made
a
Wine-press
therein
,
he
addeth
,
and
he
looked
that
it
should
bring
forth
Grapes
.
Isa.

Matt.

,

He
taketh
notice
of
them
especially
,
whether
there
be
with
them
the
work
of
faith
,
and
labour
of
love
;
he
expecteth
that
that
earth
which
is
so
inclosed
,
and
ordered
;
and
which
drinketh
in
the
rain
that
oft
cometh
upon
it
,
should
bring
forth
herbs
meet
for
him
by
whom
it
is
dressed
,
even
the
work
and
labour
of
love
,
that
it
may
receive
further
blessing
from
God
.
Heb.
6.
7
,
10.
His
eye
is
continually
upon
his
Church
and
Churches
,
as
to
preserve
,
and
deliver
them
from
evil
,
and
to
dispence
to
them
whatever
may
fit
them
for
fruitfulness
before
him
,
that
they
may
shew
forth
his
praises
who
hath
called
them
out
of
darkness
into
his
marvellous
light
:
So
to
observe
what
impression
his
Grace
hath
upon
them
,
how
it
is
received
by
them
,
and
what
it
produceth
in
them
;
or
whether
it
be
received
in
vain
;
That
so
he
may
rebuke
and
chasten
them
,
as
he
doth
,
as
many
as
he
loveth
.

when

as
a

To
denote
unto
us
the
piercingness
of
them
,
and
that
he
is
very
exact
,
and
observant
in
his
inspections
amongst
the
Churches
,
to
see
and
take
notice
what
their
works
are
;
and
to
manifest
the
evil
of
what
he
doth
reprove
amongst
them
;
for
answerable
to
the
greater
priviledges
and
advantages
they
have
above
others
,
accordingly
he
doth
expect
more
from
them
;
unto
whom
much
is
given
,
of
them
shall
much
be
required
;
and
to
whom
men
have
committed
much
,
of
them
they
will
ask
the
more
.
Luk.

And
here
he
signifieth
what
he
knoweth
,
and
taketh
notice
of
,
thy
[
Works
]
not
their
profession
only
:
Men
may
profess
to
know
God
,
trust
in
him
.
love
him
,
cleave
to
him
,
and
yet
in
works
deny
him
,
being
abominable
,
and
disobedient
,
and
to
every
good
work
reprobate
and
void
of
judgment
.
Titus

Men
may
say
they
believe
the
Testimony
of
God
concerning
Christ
,
yea
,
they
may
be
perswaded
of
the
goodness
and
truth
of
it
;
and
have
some
love
to
it
,
and
hold
it
forth
as
their
opinion
,
and
plead
for
it
against
opposers
;
and
yet
not
so
receive
the
love
of
the
truth
as
to
be
saved
thereby
,
or
to
suffer
it
to
work
effectually
in
them
,
and
to
bring
forth
the
work
of
faith
,
and
labour
of
love
,
as
it
doth
in
those
that
heartily
receive
it
,

suffer
it
to
dwell
richly
in
them

But
what
doth
is
profit
,
my
Brethren
,
saith
the

,
though
a
man
say
he
hath
faith
,
and
have
not
works

Faith
if
it

not
works
(
its
proper
works

is
dead
,
being
alone

They
are
not
mens
pretences
and
professions
simply
,
he
taketh
notice
of
,
but
whether
the
word
of
God
be
received
by
them
as
it
is
in
truth
the
word
of
God
,
so
as
to
work
effectually
in
them
,
to
redeem
them
from
their
iniquities
,
and
turn
them
to
God
from
Idols
,
and
to
fulfill
in
them
the
whole
good
pleasure
of
God's
goodness
,
and
the
work
of
faith
with
power
:
And
were
the
faith
,
the
word
of
faith
,
believed
with
the
heart
,
it
would
work
by
love
,
as
from
God's
love
as
the
motive
of
it
,
so
in
the
exercise
of
love
toward
Christ
and
God
in
him
,
so
as
to
part
with
all
as
loss
and
dung
for
the
excellency
of
the
knowledge
of
Christ
,
that
they
might
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
;
and
towards
men
,
and
brethren
.

may
appear
to
be
somewhat
when

themselves
to
believe
on
the

They
may

make
a
fair
face
in
the
flesh
,
while
yet
thier
works
may
not
be
upright
before

But
these
he
taketh
notice
off

as
here
he
saith
,
I

thy
works

—
But
what
did
he
observe
in
his
taking
notice
of
their
works
,
and
pondering
them
?
Surely
he
saw
that
their
works
were
not
perfect
before
him
,
and
thence
saith
,
and
observeth
.
—
That
thou
art
neither
cold
,
nor
hot
.
]
Not
cold
,
there
was
still
some
profession
of
the
faith
with
them
,
some
seeking
God
,
waiting
upon
him
,
and
approching
to
him
;
they
had
not
wholly
lest
off
all
professed
worshipping
shipping
of
him
,
and
calling
upon
his
name
,
but
still
reckoned
themselves
Christians
;
they
might
still
read
,
and
hear
,
and
pray
,
and
speak
one
to
another
,
and
have
some
use
of
the
ordinances
of
Christ
among
them
,
and
have
a
form
of
godliness
;
they
had
not
wholly
and
professedly
left
off
the
thing
that
was
good
,
but
there
was
some
warmth
with
them
still
;
and
they
might
,
and
did
surely
assemble
themselves
together
,
for
they
were
yet
reckoned
by
Christ
a
Church
of
his
,
a
Golden-candlestick
,
that
did
in
some
measure
receive
,
and
bear
forth
the
light
;
yea
,
there
might
appear
with
them
a
great
deal
of
fervency
in
their
outward
professions
,
and
behaviours
of
themselves
:
They
were
not
cold

Nor
hot

things
of

Or
,
as
considering
the
scope
of
the
place
,
they
were
not
hot
,
that
is
,
they
did
not
so
value
Christ
,
and
the
things
above
where
Christ
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
the
things
most
excellent

that
durable
riches
and
righteousness
in
Christ
,
as
to
buy
them
,
with
a
relinquishing
and
selling
all
that
they
had
;
they
did
not
so
highly
value
Jesus
Christ
that
pearl
of
great
price
as
to
part
with
their
sins
and
idols
,
and
to
go
on
to
count
all
but
loss

they

partakers

to
take
up
their
cross

follow
him

That
this
is

meant

While
they
gave
their

to

and
took
in
others
instead
of
their

and
imbraced
the

of

This
was
the
heat
they
were
destitute
of
,
and
in
this
sense
they
were
not
hot
;
they
did
not
forsake
all
things
for
Christ
Jesus
;
they
were
as
silly
doves
without
heart

professedly
waiting
upon

yet
retaining
sin
in
their
hands

double

they

to

yet
not

Gal.

They
were
like
to
a
man
that
hearing
of
an
excellent
commodity
at
such
a
Mart
,
or
Market
,
goeth
thereto
;
he
is
not
so
cold
as
to
stay
at
home
,
but
taketh
so
much
pains
as
to
go
to
the
place
where
it
may
be
had
,
and
looketh
upon
it
,
and
liketh
it
,
and
heareth
delightfully
what
is
spoken
in
commendation
of
it
,
and
taketh
delight
in
approching
to
it
;
but
yet
he
is
not
so
hot
as
to
come
up
to
the
price
of
it
,
though
he
may
bid
somewhat
,
and
be
willing
to
part
with
something
;
yet
he
hath
not
such
an
high
estimate
of
,
and
affection
to
it
,
as
to
preferr
it
before
all
other
things
,
and
to
purchase
it
how
dear
soever
it
be
:
Truly
such
an
one
though
he
be
not
cold
,
yet
he
is
not
hot
;
such
a
man
is
hot
that
is
resolved
to
have
such
a
commodity
whatever
it
cost
him
,
that
spareth
no
pains
or
cost
:
In
such
a
sense
they
were
not
hot
;
they
were
not
so
cold
as
wholly
to
desist
from
a
professed
waiting
at
Wisdom's
postes
,
but
they
might
come
and
sit
before
God
as
his
people
,
and
hear
his
words
;
and
it
might
be
as
a
lovely
and
pleasant
song
to
hear
what
was
spoken
in
the
praise
and
commendation
of
that
Gold
tried
in
the
fire
&c.
But
still
their
hearts
went
after
their
covetousness
,
or
their
pride
,
and
high
thoughts
of
themselves
;
they
conceited
themselves
to
be
rich
and
encreased
with
goods
,
and
therefore
did
not
forsake
all
that
they
had
for
Christ
;
they
did
not
so
highly
prize
him
,
nor
so
ardently
affect
him
as
to
count
,
and
go
on
to
count
,
all
other
things
as
dung
and
dogs
meat
in
comparison
of
him
.

Oh
let
us

hearts

light

testimony

see
if
we
also
be
not
such
manner
of
persons
,
such
Lukewarm
ones
,
as
these
were
to
whom
this
counsel
was
given
;
the
testimony
of
Christ
,
the
perfect
law
of
liberty
,
is
a
faithful
glass
,
that
giveth
a
true
and
impartial
discovery
of
all
things

persons
;
it
pierceth
even
to
the
dividing
asunder

discerner

Therein
let
us
examine
our selves
,
and
not
trust
to
our
own
hearts
,
or
lean
to
our
own
understandings
,
for
the
heart
is
deceitful
and
desperately
wicked
above
all
things
;
and
he
that
trusteth
therein
is
a
fool
:
Our
wisdom
,
and
understanding
will
pervert
us
,
and
make
us
believe
we
are
hot
,
when
indeed
we
are
but
lukewarm
:
We
may
seem
hot
in
hearing
,
in
praying
,
in
conferring
,
in
contending
for
the
faith
of
the
common
Salvation
,
in
frequenting
the
assemblies
of
Gods
people
,
in
speaking
one
to
another
,
and
to
others
:
we
may
have
a
form
of
Knowledg
,
and
appear
zealous
in
visiting
other
Societies
of
Gods
people
,
and
take
much
pains
,
and
be
at
much
cost
;
yea
,
we
may
lavish
Gold
out
of
the
Bag
,
and
weigh
Silver
in
the
Ballance
;
and
as
the
Apostle
saith
in
another
case
,
give
all
our
goods
to
feed
the
poor
,
and
for
pious
uses
,
and
yet
be
but
lukewarm
still
,
and
set
up
the
stumbling
block
of
our
iniquity
before
our
eyes
,
and
do
all
this
to
deck
our
Idol
with
;
we
may
not
be
hot
notwithstanding
all
this
,
not
willing
to
be
redeemed
from
our
iniquities
,
or
love
to
our
Idols
;
and
though
we
may
appear
fervent
,
yet
not
be
so
in
seeking
and
serving
the
Lord
,
but
be
seeking
our
own
things
,
our
own
name
,
praise
,
applause
,
the
life
of
our
own
hands
;
we
may
be
desirous
of
vain
Glory
,
or
do
these
things
to
consume
upon
our
lusts
:
Oh
let
us
come
to
the
light
of
the
Lord
,
and
therein
view
our selves
,
our
hearts
and
ways
,
and
as
therein
our
Lukewarmness
is
discovered
,
let
us
cleanse
our selves
therefrom
in
the
light
and
strength
of
Gods
Grace
,
which
bringeth
Salvation
to
all
men

This
is
the
iniquity

the
provoking
iniquity
of
those
in

in
his
Vineyard
,
that
they
are
not
Hot
;
for
though
they
cannot
heat
themselves
,
but
must
be
heated
with
a
Cole
from
his
Altar
;
yet
unto
,

their
turning
at
his
reproofs
,
and
letting
go
the
things
faulted
,
and
discovered
to
be
evil

unprofitable
He
would
pour
out
his
Spirit
to
them
,
and
make
known
his
words

which
are

would

,
not
only
that
they
be
not

but
that
they
be

not
only
that
they
hear

pray
,
assemble
,
conferr

approch
to
him
,
and
have
a
name

the

they
live
(

but
that
they
have
such
an
estimate
of
Christ
,
and
the
things
of
him
,
as
to
count
all
other
things
but
vile
and
unprofitable
in
comparison
of
him
;
and
so
,
that
they
be
hot
in
buying
the
truth
with
selling
all
that
they
have
:
such
is
the
excellency
of
this
blessed
Treasure
presented
before
them
,
and
commended
to
them
;
and
such
advantages
they
have
in
the
Church
to
see
the
Beauty
and
Glory
of
it
,
and
to
hear
of
its
preciousness
in
their
assemblings
together
,
and
such
their
fellowships
together
,
that
they
might
have
heat
begotten
,
preserved
and
increased
among
them
,

and
therefore
he
expecteth
from
them
that
they
should
be
zealous
,
he
may
say
to
them
as
to
his
Vineyard
of
old
,
What
could
have
been
done
more
to
my
Churches
that
I
have
not
done
in
them
,
that
they
might
have
counted
all
things
as
loss
for
my
sake
,
even
the
things
most
gainful
,
and
been
filled
with
zeal
as
hot
as
fire
,
in
seeking
the
knowledge
and
enjoyment
of
me
,
and
promoting
the
things
of
my
Kingdom
,
even
with
such
zeal
as
would
have
consumed
them
,
and
made
them
ready
and
willing
to
forsake
and
forget
all
for
me
?
and
when
notwithstanding
all
his
goodness
and
graciousness
to
them
,
they
are
still
destitute
of
this
heat
,
and
ardency
of
affection
to
him
,
oh
,
this
incenseth
him
against
them
,
and
provoketh
him
to
anger
,
who
is
slow
thereto
?
and
so
much
is
signified
to
us
in
what
followeth
.
I
would
thou
wert
cold
or
Hot.

As
if
he
should
say
,
I
cannot
away
with
this
temper
,
or
distemper
of
thine
,
as
Ver.
16.
it
is
very
offensive
and
provoking
to
me
,
and
therefore
I
wish
thou
wert
rid
of
thy
loathsom
temper
,
and
wert
either
Cold
or
Hot
:
It
is
somewhat
like
to
what
Elijah
saith
to
the
Israelites
,
why
halt
ye
between
two
opinions
?
if
God
be
God
follow
him
,
but
if
Baal
then
follow
him
.
1
Kings

Or
like
to
the
saying
of
Joshuah
,
If
it
seem
evil
to
you
to
serve
the
Lord
(
in
sincerity
and
truth
,
with
a
putting
away
the
Gods
which
your
fathers
served
)
chuse
you
this
day
whom
you
will
serve
,
whether
the
the
Gods
which
your
fathers
served
that
were
on
the
other
side
of
the
flood
,
or
the
Gods
of
the
Amorites
,
in
whose
Lands
ye
dwell
?
Josh.

As
if
he
should
say
,
do
not
make
a
shew
of
serving
the
Lord
,
while
together
therewith
you
do
indeed
serve
your
Idols
:
But
either
be
hot
in
serving
him
onely
and
sincerely
,
and
put
away
;
and
renounce
your
Idols
;
or
else
be
Cold
,
and
leave
off
your
professed
waiting
on
him
,
and
follow
such
other
Gods
as
you
shall
chuse
,
this
neutrality
and
indifferency
is
very
displeasing
and
unbearable
to
him
in
his
Church
and
Vineyard
;
this
Samaritanisme
in
which
men
fear
the
Lord
,
and
serve
their
own
Gods
,
and
indeed
it
is
reputed
by
him
as
not
fearing
him
at
all
,

But
here
we
might
for
our
usefulness
propose
these
two
Questions
.
Question
1.
Whether
seeing
this
faithful
Counsellor
,
wisheth
that
they
were
either
Cold
or
Hot
,
it
be
alike
to
him
which
of
them
they
were
?
or
whether
it
were
all
one
to
him
whether
they
were
Cold
or
Hot
?
Answer
.
No
surely
,
he
is
not
indifferent
herein
,
he
would
rather
they
were
Hot
in
buying
the
Truth
,
and
giving
hearty
entertainment
to
him
;
and
therefore
he
counselleth
them
,
To
buy
of
him
Gold
tryed
in
the
fire
,
that
they
might
be
rich
.
Ver.
18.
And
therefore
be
rebuketh
them
(
sharply
reproveth
them
)
and
chasteneth
them
,
that
they
might
be
zealous
and
repent
.
Ver.
19.
And
therefore
he
standeth
at
the
door
and
knocketh
,
that
they
might
open
unto
him
,
receive
him
,
and
entertain
him
heartily
.
Ver.
20.
Nor
was
it
alike
to
the
Prophet
(
when
he
reproveth
the
Israelites
for
halting
between
two
opinions
)
whether
they
followed
God
or
Baal
;
for
he
earnestly
desired
that
they
might
joyn
to
,
and
heartily
and
sincerely
follow
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
,
and
to
that
end
Prayeth
.
Hear
me
,
O
Lord
,
hear
me
,
that
this
people
may
know
that
thou
art
the
Lord
God
,
and
that
thou
hast
turned
their
heart
back
again
.
1
Kings
18.
37.
And
the
like
we
may
say
of
Joshuah
,
Chap.
24.
15.
Christ
is
in
the
bosome
of
the
father
,
and
knoweth
his
heart
and
thoughts
,
and
hath
revealed
that
God
is
not
willing
that
any
man
should
perish
,
but
that
all
should
come
to
repentance
,
2
Pet.
3

and
still
he
is
more
unwilling
that
any
of
those
little
ones
,
that
have
tasted

and
he
and
Christ
Jesus
are
one
;
and
therefore
the
Amen
,
the
faithful
and
true
Witness
is
not
indifferent
whether
his
Churches
,
and
those
in
them
be
Cold
or
Hot
;
but
he
is
one
that
hath
pleasure
in
uprightness
,
and
loveth
that
those
in
his
Church
should
cleave
to
him
with
full
purpose
,
and
give
him
their
hearts
,
and
would
that
they
should
be
wholly
and
altogether
his
:
to
whose
mind
also
the
Apostle
Paul
was
framed
,
when
Agrippa
said
,
almost
thou
perswadest
me
to
be
a
Christian
.
I
would
to
God
,
saith
he
,
that
not
only
thou
,
but
all
that
hear
me
,
were
both
almost
,
and
altogether
such
as
I
am
,
and
not
so
indifferent
as
he
was
.
Acts
26.
29.
And
this
the
Apostle
also
desired
with
understanding
,
as
knowing
Gods
good
will
towards
all
men
was
,
that
they
should
heartily
receive
the
love
of
the
truth
:
had
he
been
of
the
mind
of
some
men
,
that
God
hath
a
secret
Will
concurring
with
the
destruction
of
the
greatest
part
of
Mankind
in
a
personal
consideration
,
he
could
never
in
faith
have
poured
out
such
a
wish
to
God
for
all
them
that
heard
him
;
but
knowing
God
is
love
,
and
that
he
hath
manifested
himself
so
to
be
in
giving
his
Son
by
his
Grace
to
taste
death
for
every
man
;
from
hence
his
hearts
desire
and
prayer
to
God
for
them
was
,
That
they
might
be
saved
from
their
iniquities
and
vanities
,
as
Rom.

And
therefore
thus
Christ
Jesus
speaketh
,
to
shew
〈◊〉
how
abominable
their

him

Question
2.
Whether
it
be
better
for
the
Churches
,
or
those
therein
to
be
Cold
then
Lukewarm
,
it
is
better
without
Controversy
to
be
Hot
,
and
fervent
in
Spirit
,
in
seeking
and
serving
the
Lord
,
and
diligently
pursuing
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
:
but
whether
it
be
better
for
Lukewarm
ones
to
be
Cold
?
Answer
.
Truly
properly
and
fully
it
is
not
better
to
be
Cold
then
Lukewarm
,
for
neither
is
good
;
but
it
is
worse
to
be
Lukewarm
in
Gods
Vineyard
,
and
more
abominable
to
him
,
and
in
his
account
,
who
judgeth
righteously
then
to
be
Cold
;
and
so
to
be
Cold
is
not
so
bad
,
in
some
respects
as
to
be
Lukewarm
;
For
,
1.
The
iniquity
of
Lukewarmness
in
his
Churches
is
more
provoking
in
his
sight
;
because
the
Clouds
do
more
abundantly
Rain
Rain
upon
them
that
come
into
,
and
frequent
the
Assemblies
of
Gods
people
,
then
upon
those
who
are
Cold
,
and
come
not
amongst
them
,
and
they
oft
drink
in
the
Rain
that
cometh
upon
them
;
they
have
more
advantages
given
to
them
then
others
,
and
more
opportunities
to
hear
,
and
be
acquainted
with
the
excellency
of
Christ
,
and
the
inriching
nature
of
that
Gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
and
therein
,
and
therewith
to
see
the
vileness
of
their
sins
,
and
vanity
of
their
Idols
,
wisdom
,
works
of
Righteousness
,
high
thoughts
,
and
conceits
of
themselves
,
that
they
might
turn
to
God
from
all
their
Idols
,
and
have
their
Hearts
drawn
off
from
all
other
Objects
,
and
united
to
Christ
Jesus
:
hence
those
that
are
among
his
people
,
do
in
their
evils
overpass
the
deeds
of
the
wicked
.
Jer.
5.

,

So
it
is
said
,
That
Manasseh
made
Judah
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
to
do
worse
then
the
Heathen
,
not
simply
as
to
matter
of
fact
,
but
worse
;
because
the
Lord
spake
to
them
and
his
people
(
by
his
Prophets
)
but
they
would
not
hear
.
2
Chron.
33.

,
10.
Hence
oftentimes
this
is
declared
as
an
aggravation
of
the
iniquity
of
God
people
,
that
they
sin
under
such
advantages
,
and
in
the
enjoyment
of
such
nighness
,
means
and
opportunities
:
therefore
the
Lord
saith
concerning
the
Priests
and
Prophets
:
Yea
in
mine
house
have
I
found
their
wickedness
,
&c.
Jer.

and
answerable
to
the
greatness
of
their
iniquity
,
as
being
thus
aggravated
,
answerable
will
be
their
judgment
,
so
persisting
;
yea
,
and
more
swiftly
will
God
proceed
against
them
,
especially
now
when
more
clear
light
then
formerly
is
vouchsafed
:
he
that
was
grieved
fourty
years
with
his
people
in
former
times
,
was
provoked
after
three
years
in
latter
;
because
of
the
unfruitfulness
of
those
in
his
Vineyard
,
to
say
,
Cut
it
down
,
why
cumbreth
it
the
ground
?
So
he
here
threatneth
he
will
spue
them
out
of
his
mouth
,
and
accordingly
he
may
have
so
done
with
this
Church
long
since
:
Thou
Capernaum
,
saith
our
Saviour
,
that
a●t
exalted
to
Heaven
,
shalt
be
brought
down
to
Hell
;
for
if
the
might
Works
which
have
been
done
in
thee
had
been
done
in
Sodom
,
it
would
have
remained
until
this
day
;
but
I
say
unto
you
it
shall
be
more
tollerable
for
the
Land
of
Sodom
at
the
day
of
Judgment
,
then
for
you
.

It
is
worse
to
be
Lukewarm
in
Gods
Vineyard
;
then
Cold
;
because
those
that
are
Cold
may
sooner
be
made
sensible
of
their
Condition
,
and
fall
down
under
reproofs
,
and
be
made
to
perceive
the
sadness
of
the
state
they
abide
in
,
or
have
brought
themselves
into
by
their
departure
then
Lukewarm
ones
;
When
persons
are
Lukewarm
they
are
ready
to
say
.
Aha
we
are
warm
,
we
have
seen
the
fire
;
blessed
be
the
Lord
for
we
are
rich
,
and
increased
with
Goods
,
and
have
need
of
nothing
,
they
are
highly
conceited
of
their
good
Condition
,
and
think
,
and
say
they
are
hot
enough
already
,
they
are
in
a
good
temperate
Condition
,
and
need
not
to
come
nearer
the
fire
.
Seest
thou
a
man
wise
in
his
own
Eyes
,
there
is
more
hope
of

fool
(
of

bruitish
person
that
hath
no
understanding
)
then
of
him
.
Prov.

Their
good
cannot
so
easily
be
sought
and
effected
,
as
the
good
of
those
may
that
are
Cold
,
and
who
have
outwardly
left
off
their
former
profession
;
for
the
Lukewarm
ones
are
ready
to
fill
their
mouths
with
Arguments
,
and
to
plead
their
own
Innocency
,
and
to
stop
their
ears
from
hearing
faithful
reproof
;
they
have
excuses
at
hand
;
they
can
presently
say
,
Wherefore
are
ye
jealous
of
us
?
Or
why
find
ye
fault
with
us
?
What
would
you
have
us
to
do
?
We
are
not
Cold
,
we
read
,
hear
,
pray
in
our
families
,
frequent
Assemblies
,
use
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
and
are
called
by
his
Name
;
they
are
ready
to
thank
God
they
are
not
like
other
men
,
or
like
to
what
they
themselves
sometimes
were
,
and
not
onely
justifie
themselves
herewith
before
men
,
but
indeavour
so
to
do
before
God
also
;
they
not
only
weary
men
but
God
also
with
clearing
themselves
,
and
pleading
for
themselves
,
and
take
it
ill
at
his
hands
,
and
are
even
angry
that
he
doth
not
approve
them
,
and
hear
their
Prayers
,
and
grant
their
requests
.
So
when
the
Lord
sent
the
Prophet
to
reprove
his
people
,
he
acquainteth
and
telleth
them
they
were
not
Cold
,
and
that
they
had
this
to
plead
for
themselves
,
and
excuse
themselves
withall
,
that
they
might
still
hold
fast
deceit
,
and
refuse
to
return
;
and
because
hereby
they
were
blunt
,
and
unapt
to
receive
correction
,
and
to
turn
at
reproof
,
therefore
the
Prophet
is
charged
to
put
to
the
more
strength
.
Cry
aloud
,
saith
the
Lord
,
(
for
their
ears
are
heavy
;
and
they
are
very
dull
of
hearing
)
spare
not
,
lift
up
thy
voice
like
a
Trumpet
(
that
they
may
be
afraid
,
and
run
together
.
Amos
3.
6.
And
shew
my
people
their
transgression
,
and
the
house
of
Jacob
their
sins
.
Yet
(
though
they
are
so
greatly
polluted
,
they
are
not
quite
cold
,
but
are
lukewarm
,
for
)
they
seek
me
daily
,
and
delight
to
know
my
ways
as
a
nation
that
did
righteousness
,
and
forsook
not
the
ordinance
of
their
God
;
they
ask
of
me
the
ordinances
of
justice
,
they
take
delight
in
approching
to
God
.
Wherefore
have
we
fasted
,
say
they
,
and
thou
seest
not
?
Wherefore
have
we
afflicted
our
souls
,
and
thou
takest
no
knowledge
?
When
as
notwithstanding
all
this
professed
waiting
upon
God
,
and
frequent
approaching
to
him
,
they
were
not
hot
,
they
did
not
part
with
the
things
reproved
,
but
their
hands
were
defiled
with
blood
,
and
their
fingers
with
iniquity
;
their
iniquities
separated
between
them
and
God
,
and
their
sins
hid
his
face
from
them
that
he
would
not
hear
:
And
yet
they
thought
they
were
warm
enough
,
and
looked
that
God
should
accept
them
,
and
approve
them
:
But
(
saith
the
Lord
)
their
webs
shall
not
become
garments
,
neither
shall
they
cover
themselves
with
their
works
.

They
were
ready
to
cry
,
they
had
built
an
house
for
Gods
name
,
and
the
place
of
his
rest
;
and
had
kept
his
ordinance
,
and
walked
mournfully
before
him
,
and
thought
this
would
have
excused
them
,
and
obtained
God's
favour
for
them
,
though
they
were
loaden
with
iniquity
,
and
were
serving
their
idols

But
when
they
are
quite
cold
they
have
not
such
things
to
say
for
themselves
,
but
sooner
fall
under
reproof
:
As
the
Ninevites
that
had
not
God's
name
called
upon
them
,
nor
his
word
and
ordinances
amongst
them
,
sooner
humbled
themselves
before
God
then
the
Jews
,
who
had
the
Scriptures
read
amongst
them
every
Sabbath-day
,
and
fasted
,
and
prayed
&c.
Because
they
thought
eternal
life
belonged
to
them
,
and
that
they
were
already
in
a
good
and
happy
condition
.

then
,
by
how
much
the
more
;
they
are
the
more
hardly
admonished
,
and
more
difficultly
recovered
then
those
that
are
cold
,
by
so
much
the
more
is
their
temper
more
sad

for
they
sport
themselves
with
their
own
deceivings
.
—

The
Lukewarm
ones
are
worse
then
those
that
are
cold
,
because
by
their
seeming
to
be
religious
,
and
to
do
their
former
works
,
they
cause
the
name
of
God
,
and
his
doctrine
to
be
evil
spoken
of
;
and
so
do
more
injury
to
others
;
sutable
to
what
the
Apostle
saith
;
Behold
thou
art
called
a
Jew
(
and
so
we
may
say
a
Christian
)
and
restest
in
the
law
,
and
makest
thy
boast
of
God
(
as
if
he
were
thy
God
,
thy
Father
,
and
thou
hadst
an
interest
in
him
)
and
knowest
his
will
,
and
approvest
the
things
that
are
more
excellent
—
and
art
confident
that
thou
thy self
art
a
guide
of
the
blind
,
a
light
of
them
which
sit
in
darkness
,
an
instructor
of
the
foolish
,
a
teacher
of
babes
,
which
hast
the
form
of
knowledge
,
and
of
the
truth
in
the
law
:
thou
therefore
which
teachest
another
,
teachest
thou
not
thyself
?
—
thou
that
makest
thy
boast
of
the
law
,
through
breaking
of
the
law
dishonourest
thou
God
?
For
the
name
of
God
is
blasphemed
among
the
Gentiles
through
you
,
(
through
such
lukewarm
ones
,
who
seem
to
be
religious
,
and
yet
hold
fast
a
lye
in
their
right
hand
,
and
so
their
religion
is
vain
)

When
persons
are
grown
quite
cold
,
and
come
not
into
the
assemblies
of
God's
peculiar
people
,
there
is
not
then
such
occasion
given
to
the
adversary
to
speak
reprochfully
of
the
worthy
name
of
Christ
,
and
his
doctrine
,
as
when
men
frequent
those
assemblies
,
and
frequently
tread
his
courts
,
and
appear
to
do
their
former
works
;
when
those
that
profess
to
believe
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
are
frequently
amongst
them
that
make
profession
of
it
,
and
hold
it
forth
to
others
;
when
such
(
I
say
)
hold
fast
deceit
,
and
refuse
to
return
,
when
such
walk
on
in
darkness
,
fulfilling
the
desires
of
the
flesh
,
or
of
the
mind
,
the
mouths
of
others
,
by
occasion
of
them
,
is
opened
against
Christ
,
and
his
Gospel
,
as
if
he
were
a
Minister
of
sin
,
and
it
a
doctrine
of
licentiousness
:
Others
among
whom
they
live
will
be
ready
to
say
,
these
are
the
men
that
pretend
to
have
learned
the
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
and
to
have
imbraced
the
doctrine
of
Christ
more
sincerely
then
others
:
They
say
they
believe
Christ
died
for
all
,
and
gave
himself
a
ransome
for
all
;
and
they
hear
,
and
pray
,
and
read
,
and
usually
go
amongst
such
as
assemble
themselves
often
and
professedly
to
wait
upon
God
,
and
to
edify
themselves
;
but
yet
you
may
see
,
they
are
as
much
polluted
as
others
,
their
heart
goeth
as
much
after
its
covetousnes
as
the
hearts
of
any
other
;
and
they
are
as
proud
and
censorious
,
and
highly
conceited
of
themselves
,
and
as
uncharitable
and
unmerciful
as
others
;
surely
this
doctrine
teacheth
them
to
live
as
they
list
,
and
assureth
them
they
shall
have
peace
though
they
walk
after
the
imagination
of
their
own
hearts
:
This
is
a
doctrine
of
looseness
and
licentiousness
,
it
is
certainly
an
heresy
,
or
otherwise
it
would
have
some
other
manner
of
effi●●cy
on
these
men
that
make
a
trade
of
hearing
it
,
and
being
amongst
those
that
profess
it
:
Oh
how
by
occasion
o●
such
is
the
doctrine
according
to
godliness
evil
spoken
of
,
and
rep●●ched
,
as
if
it
were
a
doctrine
of
profaneness
!
How
is
God's
name
hereby
polluted
?
Hence
the
Lord
as
one
highly
displeased
and
provoked
,
thus
speaketh
to
his
people
in
former
times
,
who
did
not
servently
and
sincerely
seek
and
serve
him
:
As
for
you
,
O
house
of
Israel
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
,
go
ye
,
serve
ye
every
one
his
own
idols
,
and
hereafter
also
if
ye
will
not
hearken
to
me
,
(
to
obey
my
voice
,
and
give
glory
to
my
name
)
but
pollute
ye
my
holy
name
no
more
with
your
gifts
,
and
with
your
sacrifices
.
Ezek.

As
if
he
should
say
,
you
had
better
be
quite
cold
then
thus
lukewarm
;
did
you
wholly
follow
after
your
idols
,
and
make
no
profession
of
serving
me
,
my
name
would
not
be
so
greatly
polluted
as
now
it
is
,
while
you
call
upon
me
,
and
yet
serve
your
own
idols
.
Oh!
this
tendeth
very
much
to
the
blemishing
of
God's
worthy
name
called
upon
us
,
and
to
the
defiling
God's
sanctuary
,
when
persons
are
serving
their
idols
,
and
sowing
to
the
flesh
,
and
yet
come
the
same
day
into
his
Sanctuary
,
and
appear
to
take
delight
in
approching
to
him
,
as
if
they
were
delivered
to
do
those
abominations
;
or
as
if
the
grace
of
God
heard
,
and
in
some
sort
received
by
them
,
gave
them
incouragement
to
serve
sin
,
or
follow
their
vanities
,
from
which
indeed
it
cometh
to
redeem
them
,
and
to
that
purpose
bringeth
salvation
to
all
men
.

this
to

hath
deserved
so
well
at

such
evil

to
away
with
such
a

is

of

to

So
then
,
because
thou
art
Lukewarm
,
and
neither
Cold
nor
Hot
,
I
will
Spue
thee
out
of
my
Mouth
.
—
In
this
sharp
rebuke
and
threatning
,
the
faithful
and
true
Witness
signifieth
to
us
the
loathsomness
,
and
unbearableness
of
this
temper
or
distemper
of
theirs
unto
himself
:
it
was
such
,
and
so
grievous
to
him
,
that
he
could
not
away
with
it
,
though
they
were
not
Cold
,
but
there
was
still
some
form
of
Godliness
,
and
profession
of
Religion
upon
them
,
they
seemed
to
be
Religious
,
and
made
mention
of
the
God
of
Israel
,
and
called
themselves
of
the
Holy
City
,
and
stayed
themselves
upon
the
God
of
Israel
,
yet
this
was
not
in
truth
nor
in
righteousness
,
as
Isa.
48.

,

Their
Religion
was
vain
,
and
they
more
odious
in
this
Condition
to
him
,
then
if
they
had
been
quite
Cold
;

to
that

To
what
purpose
is
the
multitude
of
your
Sacrifices
to
me
,
saith
the
Lord
?
I
am
full
of
the
burnt
Offerings
of

.
—
When
ye
come
to
appear
before
me
,
who
hath
required
this
at
your
hand
to
tread
my
Courts
?
bring
no
more
vain
Oblations
,
In●ense
is
an
abomina●ion
to
me
,
the
new
Moons
and
Sabbaths
,
the
calling
of
Assemblies
I
cannot
away
with
,
it
is
iniqui●y
(
or
grief
)
even
the
solemne
meeting
:
Your
new

your
appointed
Feasts
my
Soul
ha●eth
,
they
are
a
trouble
to
me
,
I
am
weary
o
bear
them
;
and
when
you
spread
forth
your
hands
I
will
hide
mine
eyes
from
you
,
yea
when
ye
make
many
Prayers
I
will
no●
hear
you
,
your
hands
are
full
of
Blood
:
like
whereto
also
is
that

I
hate
,
I
despise
y●ur
Feast-days
,
and
I
will
not

in

thou

your

I
will
not
accept

neither
will
I
regard

Take
thou
away
from

the
noise

for
I
will
not

Therefore
I
will
cause
you
to
go
into
Captivity

This
was
greatly
provoking
to
him
that
they
were
so
Lukewarm
,
and
did
not
buy
the
truth
with
a
parting
with
their
abominanations
,
and
Idols
:
So
here
he
threatneth
he
wil
spue
them
out
of
his
mouth
;
because
they
were
Lukewarm
.
A
Metaphor
taken
from
Lukewarm
meat
,
that
is
displeasing
and
bu●den
some
to
the
Stomach
;
or
rather
from
Lukewarm
water
that
is
loathsom
and
offensive
,
and
causeth
vomiting
:
and
it
is
as
if
he
should
say
,
I
will
abhor
you
,
and
cast
you
out
,
and
you
shall
be
cut
off
from
my
Congregation
,
I
will
not
keep
you
in
my
mouth
to
plead
for
you
,
or
to
speak
a
good
word
for
you
,
but
you
shall
be
cut
off
from
among
my
people
and
Churches
,
your
temper
is
so
loathsom
and
grievous
to
me
,
that
it
were
more
bearable
to
me
if
you
did
not
tread
my
Courts
at
all
;
you
had
better
never
profess
to
wait
upon
me
,
then
under
that
profession
to
hide
,
and
keep
close
,
and
make
provision
for
your
sins
and
Idols
.
He
that
killeth
an
Oxe
is
as
if
he
slew
a
man
,
he
that
Sacrificeth
a
Lamb
,
as
if
he
cut
off
a
Dogs
neck
,
he
that
offereth
an
Oblation
,
as
if
he
offered
Swines
Blood
,
he
that
burneth
incense
as
if
he
blessed
an
Idol
;
while
men
chase
their
own
ways
,
and
their
Soul
delighteth
in
their
abominations
.

and
therefore
he
threatneth
to
abhor
them
,
and
vomit
them
out
of
his
mouth
,
unless
they
did
receive
timely
admonition
,
and
repent
.

In

in

to

in

in

from

evil

for
them

yet
he
doth
not
presently
reject
them
,
but
pleadeth
for
them
as
his
Church
,
and
that
they
may
be
so
continued
:
He
hateth
putting
away
from
this
nighness

it

his
Act

his
strange
Act
,
to
cast
such
forth
out
of
his
house
,
and
vomit
them
up
;
and
therefore
he
saith
not
:
I
have
spued
thee
out
of
my
mouth
,
but
I
will
do
it
;
namely
,
if
they
did
still
so
persist
and
abide
:
He
remembreth
for
such
the
kindness
of
their
youth
,
the
love
of
their
espousals
,
when
they
have
forsaken
him
the
Fountain
of
living
Waters
,
and
hewed
to
themselves
broken

that
can
hold
no
water

when

have
forgotten
him
days
without
number

This
Church
of
Laodicea
was
not
always
in
this
sad
and
abominable
Condition
;
but
it
was
sometime
hot
and
fervent
;
and
was
so
taken
with
Christ
,
and
his
love
and
loveliness
,
that
the
Apostle
Paul
did
joyfully
behold
their
order
(
in
seeking
first
the
Kingdom
of
God
and
the
righteousness
thereof
▪
)
and
the
stedfastness
of
their
faith
,
and
therefore
instructed
them
:
As
they
had
received
Christ
Jesus
the
Lord
,
so
they
should
walk
in
him
;
rooted
and
built
up
in
him
,
and
stablished
in
the
faith
as
they
had
been
taught
,
&c.
Col.

Christ
was
so
precious
to
them
,
that
through
their
beholding
,
belief
of
,
and
and
delight
in
his
preciousness
,
they
were
made
a
Church
of
his
,
and
called
out
of
the
State
,
Condition
,
and
fellowship
of
the
world
into
him
,
and
unto
fellowship
with
him
,
and
were
bottomed
and
built
upon
him
,
and
begotten
by
him
to
a
lively
hope
of
his
mercy
,
and
this
still
Christ
remembreth
;
and
for
such
he
maketh
intercession
,
though
they
are
become
unlovely
,
and
unpleasant
,
till
they
are
put
out
of
his
house
;
yea
,
when
they
have
fitted
themselves
for
being
cast
out
,
such
is
the
graciousness
of
this
faithful
and
true
witness
,
that
he
interposeth
himself
for
them
while
,
and
as
it
may
be
for
their
good
,
that
further
patience
and
forbearance
may
be
exercised
towards
them
,
and
further
means
used
,
that
they
may
in
the
light
and
strength
of
his
Grace
recover
themselves
,
and
turn
unto
him
from
whom
they
have
revolted
,
and
backslidden
;
So
when
the
Lord
of
the
Vineyard
came
three
years
seeking
fruit
on
the
Fig-tree
that
was
planted
in
his
Vineyard
,
and
found
none
,
and
was
so
greatly
incensed
,
that
he
gave
order
to
cut
it
down
,
that
it
might
no
longer
cumber
the
ground
;
this
gracious
Vinedresser
stepped
in
,
and
pleaded
for
it
.
Lord
,
let
it
alone
this
year
also
,
till
I
shall
dig
about
it
,
and
dung
it
(
that
it
may
bring
forth
fruit
,
and
so
be
still
continued
in
that
ground
)
Luke

So
when
he
complaineth
of
,
and
to
his
people
.
Thou
hast
been
weary
of
me
,
O
Israel
.
—
Thou
hast
not
honoured
me
with
thy
Sacrifices
;
—
But
thou
hast
made
me
to
serve
with
thy
sins
,
thou
hast
wearied
me
with
thine
iniquities
:
Yet
he
addeth
.
I
,
even
I
am
he
that
blotteth
out
thy
transgressions
for
mine
own
name
sake
,
and
will
not
remember
thy
sins
.

Though
they
were
not
so
fervent
as
to
give
him
no
rest
;
though
they
did
not
weary
him
in
crying
after
wisdom
,
and
lifting
up
their
voice
for
understanding
,
as
those
that
would
take
no
denial
,
but
instead
thereof
were
weary
of
him
;
yea
,
and
found
him
so
much
unpleasant
work
,
as
to
weary
him
with
their
transgressions
,
in
hiding
,
and
covering
them
,
and
washing
and
cleansing
them
from
them
,
yet
he
continued
to
be
gracious
and
merciful
to
them
;
he
knoweth
not
how
presently
to
reject
them
,
but
when
he
speaketh
against
them
,
he
doth
earnestly
remember
them
still
,
and
his
bowels
are
moved
and
stirred
towards
them
;
yea
,
when
he
threatneth
to
give
them
up
to
destruction
:
because
they
are
bent
to
backsliding
from
him
,
and
though
called
to
the
most
high
,
not
at
all
exalt
him
;
yet
he
crieth
out
(
as
one
full
of
good
bowels
towards
them
.
James

How
shall
I
give
thee
up
?
How
shall
I
deliver
thee
?
(
as
one
that
well
knoweth
not
how
to
do
it
)
mine
heart
is
turned
within
me
,
my
repentings
are
kindled
together
.
I
will
not
execute
the
fierceness
of
mine
anger
;
—
For
I
am
God
and
not
man
,
the
holy
one
in
the
midst
of
thee
,
&c.
And
thus
gracious
is
he
towards
such
unworthy
and
backsliding
ones
for
his
own
goodness
,
and
because
he
remembreth
the
kindness
of
their
youth

Of
a
truth

God
is
no
respecter

persons

he
is
not
tied
to
any
man's
person

but
Christ
is
the
Amen
,
to
him
are
the
promises
made
,

in
him
they
are
confirmed

and
sure
to
all
the
seed
who
are
begotten

born

for
as

the

of
God
they
are
the
Sons
of
God
;
in
him
all
the

Amen

and
if
we
be
Christ's
,

are
we
Abraham's

according
to
promise
;
But
if
a
man
(

abide
not

him

he

cast
forth

In
abiding

both
to

to
do

of

But
beware
of
him

saith
God
,
and
obey
his
voice
,
provoke
him
not
,
for
he
will
not
pardon
your

my

is
in
him

he
will
not
forgive
if
we
sin
against
him

serve
other
Gods
,

continue
so
to
do
,

will
spue
such
at

out

his
mouth
,
though
he
be
long-suffering
,
and
plenteous
in
mercy
and
goodness
:
He
that
hath
an
ear
let
him
hear
what
the
spirit
saith
to
the
Churches
:
For
he
can
do
the

to
any
particular
person
that
hath
an
ear
,
if
he
grow
lukewarm
,
and
remiss
,
which
he
can
do
,
and
threatneth
to
do
to
such
a
Church
:
Oh
that
every
one
of
us
may
consider
that
our
standing
is
by
faith
,
that
so
we
may
not
be
high
minded
,
but
fear
:
The
Apostles
had
a
good
usefulness
of
considering
the
terrour
of
the
Lord
,
to
quicken
them
to
diligence
in
seeking
and
serving
the
Lord
;
And
the
Apostle
Paul
including
himself
with
the
Holy
Brethren
saith
,
if
we
sin
wilfully
after
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
received
,
there
remaineth
no
more
Sacrifice
for
sin
;
but
a
certain
fearful
looking
for
of
judgment
,
and
fiery
indignation
,
which
shall
devour
the
adversaries
:
Oh
consider
this

that

An
evidence
and
demonstration
that
they
were
Lukewarm
,
and
is
a
declaration
of
the
cause
and
reason
of
their
Lukewarmness
;
their
high
thoughts
and
conceits
of
themselves
made
them
so
,
And
so
there
was
more
hope
of
a
fool
(
of
such
as
were
Cold
)
then
of
them
.
Prov.
26.
12.
When
men
are
highly
conceited
of
themselves
,
and
think
that
they
are
already
rich
,
this
will
make
them
grow
indifferent
and
remiss
and
slothful
;
and
though
they
come
daily
,
and
sit
before
God
as
his
people
,
and
seem
to
take
delight
in
approching
to
him
,
and
remain
in
the
assemblies
of
his
people
,
yet
it
will
make
them
do
what
they
do
out
of
Custom
,
and
for
fashion-sake
,
or
in
service
to
some
Idol
,
and
it
will
cause
them
to
be
like
a
door
that
turneth
upon
his
hinges
,
it
will
keep
them
at
a
stand
;
and
though
they
go
backward
and
forward
like
such
a
door
,
yet
they
will
at
last
be
but
where
they
were
at
first
,
they
will
not
grow
in
Grace
,
and
in
the
knowledge
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
it
will
hinder
them
from
being
hot
,
from
such
a
prizing
of
Christ
as
to
hate
all
for
his
sake
,
that
they
may
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
.

The

Thus
it
was
with
Israel
of
old
,
when
they
were
low
and
mean
,
and
little
in
their
own
eyes
,
and
in
the
day
of
their
espousals
;
oh
then
what
fervency
,
and
heat
of
Spirit
,
and
demeanour
was
found
with
them
!
they
followed
the
Lord
out
of
the
Land
of
Egypt
and
through
the
Wilderness
,
through
a
Land
of
deserts
and
pits
,
through
a
Land
of
drought
,
and
so
the
shadow
of
death
,
through
a
Land
that
no
man
passed
through
,
and
where
no
man
dwelt
;
but
when
they
conceited
themselves
to
be
rich
,
and
said
they
were
Lords
,
free
persons
,
now
no
longer
in
bondage
as
when
they
were
in
Egypt
;
they
were
now
brought
out
of
the
house
of
Servants
(
a
type
of
the
state
of
the
world
)
and
were
become
owners
,
grown
rich
,
and
increased
with
goods
,
now
they
were
become
possessors
,
and
had
need
of
nothing
,
then
their
former
fervency
was
gone
,
they
would
come
no
more
to
him
,
but
forsook
him
when
he
led
them
by
the
way
,
and
forgot
him
days
without
number
,
and
trimmed
their
way
to
seek
love
elsewhere
,
and
yet
wiped
their
mouths
,
and
said
,
they
were
innocent
,
and
therefore
surely
his
anger
should
turn
away
from
them
,
and
still
flattered
him
with
their
lips
,
and
called
him
,
My
father
,
and
the
guide
of
my
youth
.

forgetting
the
things
behind
,

reaching
forth
to
the
things
before
,
he
pressed
toward
the
mark
,
for
the
prize
of
the
high
calling
of
God
in
Jesus
christ
:
he
run
as
for
his
life
,
and
did
strive
as
for
an
incorruptible
Crown
,
he
was
fervent
in
Spirit
,
and
laboured
and
indeavored
,
that
whether
present
or
absent
,
he
might
be
accepted
of
the
Lord
;
and
he
instructeth
the
believers
who
were
perfect
,
upright-hearted
,
to
be
like-minded
with
him
,
to
reckon
themselves
to
be
imperfect

to
attainment

so

also
might

patience
the

set
before
them

Whereas
on
the
other
hand
,
when
men
begin
to
take
notice
of
themselves
,
and
to
think
more
highly
of
themselves
then
is
meet
,
and
of
their
knowledge
and
attainments
,
this
cutteth
off
the
feet
,
and
maketh
persons
to
be
Lukewarm
,
and
when
a
price
is
put
into
their
hand
for
getting
wisdom
,
they
have
no
heart
thereto
;
this
high
thought
of
themselves
,
maketh
them
sit
loose
from
Christ
,
and
lightly
to
esteem
the
Rock
of
their
Salvavation
;
and
though
it
blow
up
men
like
a
Bladder
,
yet
it
doth
not
build
them
up
:
according
to
that
,
we
all
know
we
have
knowledge
(
every
one
is
too
ready
and
forward
to
take
notice
of
that
)
knowledge
(
even
the
knowing
and
taking
notice
of
our
knowledge
puffeth
up
,
maketh
men
appear
high
and
full
,
but
it
is
but
with
wind
,
but
it
edifieth
not
,
as
Charity
doth
,
which
is
not
puffed
up
.
And
when
men
are
so
puffed
up
by
their
fleshly
mind
,
it
taketh
them
off
from
an
high
estimate
of
Christ
,
and
causeth
them
to
wander
from
him
,
and
not
to
hold
the
head
,
from
which
all
the
body
by
joynts
and
bands
having
nourishment
ministred
and
knit
together
,
increaseth
with
the
increase
of
God

It
is
much
to
be
feared
that
we
have
also
too
high
conceits
of
our selves
,
and
therefore
though
we
are
not
quite
Cold
,
yet
such
thoughts
make
us
Lukewarm
;
we
are
too
apt
to
think
we
know
all
already
,
we
have
attained
to
excellent
Ornaments
,
and
are
pure
in
our
own
eyes
:
Oh
that
we
may
come
to
the
light
of
the
Lord
,
and
therein
see
and
examine
our selves
,
and
if
this
iniquity
be
found
with
us
,
put
it
far
away
;
for
this
thinking
of
our selves
more
highly
then
we
ought
,
is
that
which
is
the
cause
of
our
loathsom
temper

that
we
should
imagine

say
,
we
have
need
of
nothing
,
when
so
little
a
portion
is
known
of
him
by
us

that
we
should
think

what

undervalue

to
give

take
up
our

which
are
indeed
broken
Cisterns

can
hold

which
we
make

incense
him

not
give
honour

his
praise

his

he

he

His

doth
send

away

Luke
1.
53.
Such
he
will
abhor
,
and
vomit
them
out
of
his
mouth
as
most
loathsom
persons
to
him
:
Oh!
how
sad
and
calamitous
is
their
condition
who
boast
and
witness
of
themselves
that
they
are
pure
,
sinless
,
perfect
,
as
to
attainment
;
there
is
a
Generation
who
are
pure
in
their
own
Eyes
,
though
yet
they
are
not
washed
from
their
filthiness
;
and
oh
how
lofty
are
their
Eyes
,
and
their
Eye-lids
lifted
up
!
they
can
witness
their
enjoyment
of
all
that
is
to
be
enjoyed
,
now
in
this
day
,
that
they
have
no
sin
in
them
,
and
that
they
are
perfect
in
themselves
:
Woe
unto
them
,
they
have
their
happiness
now
,
their
portion
in
this
life
;
and
those
that
are
in
any
measure
like
to
them
are
loathsom
to
Christ
,
and
the
more
loathsom
and
abominable
,
the
more
they
are
like
to
them
.
It
was
displeasing
to
the
Lord
that
Job
had
such
an
overweening
conceit
of
himself
,
of
his
knowledge
,
purity
,
innocency
(
though
he
was
destitute
of
such
light
,
and
advantages
as
are
afforded
to
us
)
and
it
brought
forth
evil
fruit
in
him
,
even
to
condemn
him
that
was
most
just
;
and
that
good
man
when
convinced
of
his
evil
,
was
ashamed
of
himself
,
and
confesseth
that
he
was
vile
,
and
professeth
he
would
lay
his
hand
upon
his
mouth
.
Once
,
saith
he
,
have
I
spoken
,
but
I
will
not
answer
;
yea
twice
,
but
I
will
proceed
no
further
,
and
when
his
eye
saw
God
he
did
abhor
himself
,
and
repented
in
dust
and
ashes
.

This
is
a
becoming
thing
for
us
to
be
low
in
our
own
eyes
,
to
take
notice
,
and
be
sensible
of
our
vileness
,
bruitishness
,
shortness
in
every
matter
,
and
to
acknowledge
that
when
we
have
done
all
that
is
commanded
us
,
yet
we
are
unprofitable
servants
;
to
confess
with
him
,
That
?
we
are
more
bruitish
then
man

have
not
the
understanding
of
a

neither
learned

have
the

boasting
what

is

hath
done
,

proclaiming
his
own
goodness
)
is
poor
and
of
a
contrite
Spirit
,
and
trembleth
at
his
word
,
that
hath
nothing
to
glory
in
but
the
Lord
,
Who
of
God
is
made

their
conceitedness
is
so
unpleasing

to
him

that
he
cannot
away
with
them
;
but
if
they
repent
not
,
he
will
at
last
spue
them
out
of
his
mouth
,
he
will
not
plead
for
them
as
his
Church

cast
them
forth
as
an
abominable
branch
,
and
then
how
will
they
be
exposed
to
all
miseries
,
afflictions
,
and
judgments
whatsoever
?
Oh!
consider
we
this
,
that
pride
may
be
hidden
from

that
we
may
not
be
wise
in

that
object

is

before
us

passeth
all

seeing
what
treasures
of
wisdom

knowledge
are
hid
in
Christ
:
oh
what
cause
should
we
see
to
be
abased
,
and
to
bewail
our
dim-sightedness
,
and
shortness
of
understanding

see
cause

complain

confess

that
they

that

Humble
we
our selves

suffer
we
those
high
thoughts
of
our selves
to
be
purged

otherwise
we
shall
never
be

in
Spirit
in
seeking
the
Lord
,

yielding
up
our selves
unto
him
:
The
Apostle
saw
it
needful
and
profitable
to
give
this
admonition
to
every
one
of
the
believers
,
that
they
should
not
think
more
highly
of
themselves
,
or
of
their
parts
,
gifts
,
and
attainments
,
then
they
ought
to
think
,
but
to
think
soberly
,
and
this
he
giveth
unto
them
through
the
Grace
given
to
him
,
and
to
that
end
he
giveth
it
,
That
they
might
present
their
bodies
,
as
moved
and
strengthened
by
the
Mercies
of
God
,
a
living
Sacrifice
to
him
,
&c.
And
not
be
conformed
to
this

,

be
transformed
according
to
the
renewing
of
their
mind

Implying
,
that
if
they
had
unsober
thoughts
of
themselves
,
and
did
think
of
themselves
above
what
was
meet
,
this
would
hinder
them
from
an
hearty
yielding
up
themselves
to
the
Lord
,
as
those
alive
from
the
dead
,
and
their
members
as
instruments
of
righteousness
unto
holiness
,
they
would
otherwise
be
apt
to
think

say
,
They
had
need
of
nothing
,
and
so
expose
themselves
to
wrath
,
as
here
:
Because
thou
sayst
I
am
rich
,
[
rich
in
knowledge
and
utterance
,
the
unsober
taking
notice
hereof
is
very
hurtful

bloweth
them

were
without
Christ
and
God
in
the
world
,
but
now
they
are
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
the
Church
of
Christ
,
they
are
not
like
others
,
or
like
to
what
sometimes
they
themselves
were
,
they
have
now
excellent
ornaments
,
they
have
a
great
gift
of
prayer
,
and
can
inlarge
themselves
therein
,
they
can
speak
freely
,
and
fluently
for
the
truth
,
they
can
plead
,
and
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith
of
the
common
Salvation
,
and
have
so
much
to
say
for
it
,
and
such
strong
and
weighty
Arguments
,
that
they
can
silence
opposers
,
and
so
stop
their
mouths
that
they
have
nothing
material
to
say
;
they
have
much
mortified
their
corruptions
,
subdued
their
lusts
,
cleansed
their
ways
,
escaped
the
pollutions
of
the
world
,
and
have
put
on
bowels
of
mercy
,
kindness
,
meekness
,
long-suffering
,
temperance
,
sobriety
,
&c.
They
were
become
like
those
that
trusted
in
,

whose
heart
was
lifted
up
because
of
their
beauty

who

not
leave
off
the
assemblings
of
themselves
together

seemed
to
take
delight

approching
to
God

they
knew
all

that
could

them

needed
nothing

they
had
nothing
lacking

nothing
to

there
was
nothing
lame
in
them

they
needed
no
teaching

they
were
such
knowing

had
such
great
understanding

they
had
need

no
edification

they
had
attained

this
was
not

their
thought

their
Language

so
said
concerning
themselves

But
what
account
did
the
faithful

true

confirm
their
saying

witness
the
same
of
them

they
said
of
themselves
?
No
,
they
were
their
own
witnesses

he
giveth
them
to
understand

were

mistaken

deceived

error

here
?
Do
those
that
are
so
highly

so
sad

No

knew
not

high

worse

And
their
blindness

apparent

nakedness

such
as
had
their
eyes
open

they
were
blind

they
thought

said
they

and
truly

usually
are
most
highly
conceited

as
the

you
be

See
also
what
a
mistake
was
in
the
Corinthians
,
who
were
high
minded
,
and
highly
conceited
of
themselves
:
Now
ye
are
full
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
now
ye
are
rich
(
increased
with
goods
)
ye
have
reigned
as
Kings
without
us
,
&c.
We
are
fools
for
Christ's
sake
,
ye
are
wise
in
Christ
(
ye
can
be
his
Disciples
,
and
followers
of
him
,
and
yet
are
so
wise
,
that
you
can
keep
your
substance
,
and
be
free
from
trials
,
reproches
,
and
persecutions
;
or
,
ye
can
declare
the
Testimony
of
God
succesfully
,
and
yet
make
use
of
excellency
of
speech
and
wisdom
)
we
are
weak
,
but
ye
are
strong
,
ye
are
honourable
(
you
have
esteem
and
repute
amongst
men
)
but
we
are
despised
,
&c.
But
what
manner
of
persons
were
these
that
had
such
high
thoughts
of
themselves
?
See
what
the
same
Apostle
saith
of
them
.
I
Brethren
could
not
speak
unto
you
as
unto
Spiritual
,
but
as
unto
Carnal
,
as
unto
Babes
in
Christ
.
—
I
have
fed
you
with
Milk
,
and
not
with
meat
;
for
hitherto
ye
were
not
able
to
bear
,
neither
yet
now
are
ye
able
,
for
ye
are
yet
(
arnal
;
for
whereas
there
is
yet
among
you
envying
,
and
strise
,
and
divisions
,
are
ye
not

and
walk

To
such
a
sad
and
loathsorn
condition
may
such
bring
themselves
,
who
have
believed
on
the
name
of
the
onely
begotten
Son
of
God
,
by
turning
their
eye
from
Christ
,
and
doting
upon
,
and
admiring
themselves
,
their
knowledge
,
parts
,
gifts
,
receipts
,
attainments
:
Oh
,
that
we
may
look
into
the
perfect
law
of
liberty
,
and
con-continue
therein
,
that
we
may
so
behold
our
own
vileness
,
sinfulness
,
shortness
,
and
incompleatness
in
our selves
,
that
we
may
be
low
in
our
own
eyes
,
and
so
preserved
from
this
lukewarmness
,
and
quickned
,
and
inflamed
with
love
to
Christ
,
to
seek
after
the
knowledge
and
injoyment
of
him
,
and
for
that
cause
to
part
with
and
forsake
all
things
;
Yea
,
and
with
fervency
to
hold
forth
the
profession
of
our
Faith
without
wavering
,
that
we
may
overcome
by
the
blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
word
of
our
testimony
,
not
loving
our
lives
to
the
death
;
that
none
of
the
things
we
may
suffer
,
may
move
us
,
nor
may
we
count
our
lives
dear
to
our selves
,
that
we
may
finish
our
course
with
joy
.

may
note
in
general
from
the
person
counselling

persons
counselled
,
and
counsel
it self
given
to
them
.
—
1.
That
when
men
have
sitted
themselves
for
being
spued
out
of
Christ's
mouth
,
and
brought
themselves
into
such
a
condition
that
they
deserve
to
be
no
longer
pleaded
for
by
him
as
his
Church
,
but
to
be
vomited
forth
as
loathsome
,
and
he
threatneth
so
to
deal
with
them
,
yet
while
it
is
called
to
day
,
such
is
the
graciousness
and
mercisulness
of
this
faithful
and
true
witness
;
such
is
the
loathness
and
unwillingness
of
Christ
and
God
in
him
to
execute
what
he
threatneth
,
that
he
is
long-suffering
to
such
unworthy
,
and
ill-deserving
ones
,
and
giveth
good
and
wholesom
counsel
to
such
,
that
they
might
hear
it
,
and
receive
it
,
that
so
the
judgment
threatned
may
not
be
executed
upon
them
:
He
had
said
,
[
I
will
spue
thee
out
of
my
mouth
,
]
but
before
he
doth
so
,
he
here
saith
[
I
do
counsel
thee
(
in
the
present
time
,
to
buy
,
&c.
]
So
when
the
Lord
had
been
declaring
the
wonderful
iniquity
of
his
people
in
former
times
,
and
commanded
it
to
be
recorded
,
and
threatned
judgement
,
desolating
judgement
,
yet
before
he
executeth
the
sentence
he
giveth
good
advice
to
them
.
Now
go
(
saith
the
Lord
to
the
Prophet
)
write
it
before
them
in
a
table
,
and
note
it
in
a
book
,
that
it
may
be
for
the
time
to
come
(
the
latter
day
,
to
warn
and
admonish
us
)
for
ever
and
ever
:
That
this
is
a
rebellious
people
(
though
they
fast
,
and
pray
,
and
tread
God's
Courts
)
lying
children
,
children
that
will
not
hear
the
Law
of
the
Lord
;
which
say
to
the
Seers
,
see
not
,
and
to
the
Prophets
,
prophesy
not
to
us
right
things
,
speak
smooth
things
,
prophesy
deceits
.
—
Therefore
this
iniquity
shall
be
to
you
as
a
breach
ready
to
fall
,
swelling
out
in
an
high
wall
,
whose
breaking
cometh
suddenly
at
an
instant
;
and
he
shall
break
it
as
the
breaking
of
the
potters
vessel
that
is
broken
in
pieces
(
he
shall
divide
them
and
separate
them
one
from
another
,
and
make
such
a
breach
amongst
them
,
as
cannot
be
repaired
by
them
again
;
Thus
he
threatneth
,
and
yet
to
these
he
saith
.
)
In
returning
(
to
him
from
whom
ye
have
deeply
revolted
)
and
rest
,
ye
shall
be
saved
,
(
namely
from
the
judgement
deserved
and
threatned
,
or
from
the
evil
of
it
.
)
In
quietness
and
confidence
shall
be
your
strength
;
yea
and
though
they
would
not
presently
listen
to
this
counsel
,
yet
still
he
saith
;
therefore
will
the
Lord
wait
that
he
may
be
gracious
unto
you
,
and
therefore
will
he
be
exalted
that
he
may
have
mercy
upon
you
,
&c.

Thus
also
when
the
Lord
by
the
Prophet
Jeremy
had
threatned
sore
judgements
on
his
people
for
their
multiplied
and
heinous
provocations
,
and
commanded
him
once
and
again
,
and
a
third
time
,
not
to
make
intercession
for
them
,
nor
to
lift
up
a
cry
,
or
prayer
for
them
,
yet
such
was
his
unwillingness
to
destroy
them
,
and
such
testimony
he
giveth
of
his
willingness
to
receive
them
,
in
returning
to
him
,
that
their
hands
might
not
hang
down
,
nor
their
knees
be
seeble
,
that
he
acquainteth
them
with
the
end
and
intention
of
such
threatnings
,
and
giveth
unto
them
good
counsel
.
At
what
time
I
shall
speak
(
saith
the
Lord
)
concerning
a
nation
,
and
concerning
a
kingdom
to
pluck
up
,
and
to
pull
down
,
and
to
destroy
;
if
that
nation
against
whom
I
have
pronounced
turn
from
their
evil
,
I
will
repent
of
the
evil
that
I
thought
to
do
unto
them
:
—
Now
therefore
go
to
,
speak
to
the
men
of
Judah
,
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
saying
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
behold
I
frame
evil
,
and
devise
a
device
against
you
,
return
ye
now
every
one
from
his
evil
way
,
and
make
your
way
and
doings
good
.

To
this
also
agreeth
that
in
the
Prophet
Zephany
:
Where
after
God
had
pronounced
great
evil
on
them
that
swear
by
the
Lord
,
and
that
swear
by
Malcham
,
that
halted
between
two
Opinions
,
and
were
lukewarm
ones
,
not
singly
,
sincerely
,
and
fervently
serving
and
glorifying
the
Lord
,
that
their
goods
should
become
a
booty
,
and
their
houses
a
desolation
;
that
he
would
send
a
day
of
wrath
,
trouble
,
and
distress
,
and
their
Silver
and
Gold
should
not
be
able
to
deliver
them
in
the
day
of
the
Lord's
wrath
;
yet
before
he
dealeth
with
them
according
to
his
threatnings
,
and
their
deservings
,
he
saith
,
Gather
your selves
together
,
yea
gather
together
,
O
nation
not
desired
;
before
the
decree
bring
forth
,
before
the
day
pass
as
the
chaff
,
before
the
fierce
anger
of
the
Lord
come
upon
you
,
before
the
day
of
the
Lord's
anger
come
upon
you
:
Seek
the
Lord
all
ye
meek
of
the
earth
,
which
have
wrought
his
judgments
,
seek
righteousness
,
seek
meekness
;
it
may
be
you
may
be
hid
in
the
day
of
the
Lord's
anger

So
in

to
other
of

Churches
;
when
he
threatneth
to
remove
their
Candlestick
out
of
its
place
,
and
to
fight
against
them
,
yet
he
expresly
,
or
intimately
counselleth
them
to
remember
from
whence
they
were
fallen
,
to
repent
,
to
do
their
first
works
,
that
there
might
be
a
turning
away
of
the
evil
pronounced

his
end
,
while
it
is
called
to
day
,
in
threatning
and
lifting
up
his
hand
,
is
not
firstly
to
execute
the
judgment
threatned
,
for
that
is
his
work
,
his
strange
work
,
but
to
awaken
us
out
of
our
sleep
,
to
make
us
afraid
,
that
we
might
run
together
unto
him
,
prepare
to
meet
him
,
and
turn
to
him
that
smiteth
,
and
seek
the
Lord
of
hosts
;
and
therefore
he
giveth
good
counsel
to
such
as
have
greatly
provoked
him
,
and
incensed
him
against
them
,
and
deserve
to
be
abhorred
by
him
;
and
it
is
out
of
his
pity
and
compassion
that
he
thus
threatneth
before
he
punisheth
,
and
lifteth
up
his
hand
before
he
striketh
,
this
is
out
of
faithfulness
,
and
not
out
of
hatred
to
us
,
that
we
might
consider
our selves
,
and
ways
,
and
fall
down
before
him
,
and
turn
from
our
iniquities
,
that
we
may
understand
his
truth
;
and
it
is
good
and
profitable
for
us
to
take
notice
of
this
,
and
set
our
hearts
to
it
;
for
many
times
when
God
reproveth
us
in
his
word
;
when
he
heweth
us
by
his
Prophets
,
and
slayeth
us
by
the
words
of
his
lips
,
in
setting
our
sins
in
order
before
us
,
or
when
he
layeth
his
hand
upon
us
,
and
his
judgments
are
as
the
light
that
goeth
forth
;
we
have
such
evil
thoughts
of
him
,
and
are
so
jealous
and
distrustful
of
his
love
to
us
,
that
we
are
ready
to
think
and
say
,
there
is
no
hope
,
the
case
is
desperate
,
we
have
loved
strangers
,
and
after
them
we
will
go
:
he
hath
forgotten
to
be
gracious
,
he
hath
shut
up
his
tender
mercies
in
displeasure
,
and
will
be
no
more
fayourable
to
us
:
But
now
his
gracious
end
in
threatning
and
childing
of
us
,
being
known
and
considered
by
us
,
would
be
powerful
to
incourage
us
to
look
toward
his
holy
Temple
,
and
come
into
his
house
in
the
multitude
of
his
mercies
,
when
we
say
,
we
are
cast
out
of
his
sight
,
and
are
in
deepest
affliction
,
and
he
threatneth
to
cut
us
off
;
as
,
Jonah
.

It
was
not
out
of
ill
will
,
or
hatred
to
this
Church
that
he
threatneth
to
spue
them
out
of
his
mouth
,
but
out
of
love
and
compassion
to
them
;
and
therefore
vers.

he
saith
,
As
many
as
I
love
,
I
rebuke
(
viz.
sharply
reprove
when
,
and
as
they
need
it
)
and
chasten
,
be
zealous
,
therefore
and
repent
:
Oh
that
we
may
so
set
our
hearts
to
,
and
diligently
consider
this
,
that
at
such
a
time
as
this
,
when
he
is
pronouncing
evil
,
and
threatning
to
break
us
in
pieces
,
and
destroy
his
places
of
the
assembly
,
we
may
return
to
him
,
from
whom
we
have
wandred
,
with
the
whole
heart
,
and
not
feignedly
,
and
lift
up
our
hearts
with
our
hands
to
God
in
the
Heavens
,
who
is
gracious
and
merciful
,
and
ready
to
repent
of
the
evil
pronounced
!
Oh
that
we
may
yet
turn
unto
him
from
all
our
iniquities
and
idols
,
that
he
might
turn
again
,
and
have
compassion
upon
us
,
and
delight
to
do
us
good
,
and
make
us
glad
according
to
the
days
where
in
he
hath
afflicted
us
,
and
the
years
wherein
we
have
seen
evil
.
2.
In
that
he
saith
,
Thou
art
poor
,
and
miserable
,
and
wretched
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
;
I
counsel
thee
to
buy
,
&c.
He
giveth
us
to
understand
,
that
thosE
persons
are
truly
and
verily
poor
,
that
are
with
out
,
and
distitute
of
this
Gold
,
that
is
to
be
bought
of
the
faithful
and
true
Witness
,
they
are
naked
indeed
,
and
in
the
account
of
God
,
that
have
not
this
White
raiment
,
whatever
they
may
have
of
this
worlds
goods
,
treasure
,
cloathing
or
accomodations
;
these
do
not
truly
,
and
indeed
inrich
,
and
cloath
a
man
:
Though
a
man
had
an
house
full
of
that
Gold
and
Silver
that
cometh
out
of
the
Earth
;
yet
alas
,
he
may
be
miserable
enough
for
all
this
,
it
is
Christ
,
and
those
treasures
in
him
that
are
the
true
riches
,
the
true
Mammon
,
which
is
substantial
and
durable
,
Luke

It
is
the
Mammon
of
unrighteousness
,
uncertain
riches
,
that
which
perisheth
,
and
deceiveth
,
which
our
wisdom
so
highly
esteemeth
,
and
leadeth
us
to
set
our
hearts
and
affections
on
,
and
covet
after
greedily
all
the
day
long
;
these
riches
below
are
not
real
substance
,
hence
the
Proverb
saith
.
Labour
not
to
be
rich
,
cease
from
thine
own
wisdom
:
wilt
thou
setthine
eyes
upon
that
which
is
not
?
(
which
hath
no
real
being
,
or
sure
continuance
)
for
riche●
certainly
make
themselves
wings
,
they
flee
away
as
an

It
is
that
wisdom
only
that
is
from

that
causeth
those
that
love
her
to
inherit
substance
,
and
she
will
fill
their

And
so
persons
here
may
be
blind
,
and
naked
indeed
that
are
without
Christ
,
though
they
have
never
so
much
of
Philosophy
,
of
that
Science
which
is
falsely
so
called
;
and
though
they
are
cloathed
with
never
so
costly
Apparel
,
and
glorious
array
,
the
wisdom
which
is
from
beneath
,
which
is
natural
and
earthly
,
will
not
open
the
eyes
of
our
understandings
to
know
Gods
name
,
or
his
Sons
name
,
this
will
not
render
us
wise
in
the
account
of
Christ
,
for
the
Wisdom
of
this
World
is
foolishness
with
God
;
nor
can
we
cover
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
in
his
sight
:
Let
us
then
not
lift
up
our selves
by
these
things
.

But
this
more
properly
appertaineth
to
what
followeth
.
3.
In
that
he
councelleth
these
miserable
ones
to
buy
,
he
intimateth
to
us
,
that
not
only
such
as
are
sensible
of
their
condition
,
are
counselled
,
invited
,
and
called
upon
to
come
to
Christ

of

,
but
such
as
are
insensible
also
,
such
as
are
poor
,
miserable
,
wretched
,
blind
,
naked
,
and
know
it
not
;
and
this
is
generally
true
as
with
respect
to
Gods
preventing
men
with
his
Grace
,
that
bringeth
Salvation
to
all
men
;
when
he
first
calleth
to
,
and
counselleth
men
in
,
and
with
his
glorifying
his
Son
unto
them
,
they
are
dead
in
trespasses
and
sins
,
they
are
deaf
,
and
wretched
,
and
blind
,
they
know
not
the
sadness
of
their

he
calleth
to
such
:

look
ye

They
are
at
first
dead
to
whom
the
Son
of
God
sendeth
forth
his
voice
,
destitute
of
all
Spiritual
li●e
and
light
;
they
are
ignorant
,
and
out
of
capacity
by
and
wisdom
or
light
of
theirs
to
know
what
their
condition
is
.
John
5.
25.
And
hence
men
generally
have
such
a
good
esteem
of
themselves
,
and
of
their
condition
,
and
ways
,
and
think
highly
of
themselves
;
as
the
Jews
,
who
though
they
did
search
the
Scriptures
,
yet
would
not
come
to
Christ
that
they
might
have
life
,
and
therefore
had
not
the
love
of
God
in
them
;
yet
they
thought
themselves
to
be
in
a
good
Case
,
and
that
Eternal
life
did
appertain
to
them
▪
John
5.

,
40.
And
those
that
made
mention
of
the
God
of
Israel
,
but
not
in
truth
nor
in
righteousness
:
For
they
were
obstinate
,
and
their
neck
as
an
Iron
Sinew
,
and
their
brow
Brass
;
yet
they
called
themselves
of
the
holy
City
,
and
stayed
themselves
upon
the
God
of
Israel
.
Isa.

Yet
to
such
as
these
he
calleth
and
giveth
good
Counsel
,
to
simple
ones
,
who
know
nothing
;
yea
,
who
love
(
and
that
for
a
long
time
)
their
simplicity
,
and
to
fools
who
hate
knowledge
.
Prov.
1.
20
,
23.
He
counselleth
foolish
ones
who
know
not
him
,
and
therefore
know
not
themselves
;
for
he
is
the
light
of
the
world
,
yea
indeed
all
the
Sons
of
Man
are
foolish
and
ignorant
,
until
,
or
further
then
they
are
inlightned
by
him
:
Hence
that
cry
and
call
;
Unto
you
O
men
,
I
call
,
and
my
voice
is
to
the
Sons
of
Man
;
Oh
ye
simple
understand
wisdom
,
and
ye
fools
be
ye
of
an
understanding
heart
,
to
signifie
to
us
,
that
the
Children
of
men
are
simple
,
and
fools
,
and
yet
are
called
upon
,
and
invited
to
come
to
Christ
.
Prov.
8.

,

This
may
give
us
somewhat
to
answer
those
that
abuse
the
Scriptures
,
and
pervert
them
to
the
hurt
of
themselves
,
and
others
,
when
the
Holy-Ghost
inviteth
every
thirster
to
come
to
the
waters
,
to
buy
and
eat
;
this
is
onely
meant
,
say
they
,
of
such
as
are
sensible
of
their
sad
condition
,
and
such
as
are
gracious
thirsters
,
which
hunger
and
thirst
after
righteousness
,
when
as
indeed
it
appeareth
most
directly
to
be
spoken
to
such
as
thirsted
out
of
necessity
only
,
and
who
were
seeking
rest
,
and
satisfying
in
vain
things
that
could
not
profit
them
,
and
therefore
were
reproved
for
so
doing
;
and
this
I
am
sure
is
no
gracious
frame
,
or
qualification
;
for
it
is
added
,
Why
do
ye
spend
Money
for
that
which
is
not
Bread
,
and
your
labour
or
that
,
which
satisfieth
not
.
Isa.
55.

,
2.
So
when
our
Saviour
saith
,
Come
unto
me
all
ye
that
labour
,
and
are
heavy
laden
;
this
is
spoken
,
say
they
,
of
such
as
laboured
for
Christ
,
and
were
weary
of
,
and
willing
to
part
with
their
sins
;
when
as
such
are
hereby
invited
,
who
did
seek
rest
where
it
was
not
to
be
had
,
such
as
sought
to
know
the
father
by
the
wisdom
of
this
world
,
and
so
failed
of
their
expectation
:
Hence
our
Saviour
calleth
them
,
all
of
them
,
to
him
,
who
knoweth
the
father
,
and
none
but
he
,
and
him
to
whomsoever
he
will
reveal
him
,
and
in
coming
to
him
he
would
give
them
rest
from
their
burdening
and
unprofitable
labour
.

And
this
is
sutable
to
what
we
have
noted
in
this
place
;
we
see
here
,
such
are
called
upon
,
and
incouraged
to
buy
and
purchase
,
and
good
counsel
is
given
to
them
,
whose
case
and
condition
was
very
bad
and
lamentable
,
and
yet
they
knew
it
not
,
they
were
insensible
〈◊〉
of
it
,
and
thought
otherwise
and
better
of
themselves
then
was
meet
.
4.
In
that
he
giveth
such
Councel
to
these
that
were
ignorant
of
their
state
,
he
signifieth
to
us
,
that
the
way
to
make
men
sensible
of
their
condition
,
when
their
case
is
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
they
know
it
not
,
is
to
commend
to
them
,
and
lift
up
before
them
Christ
,
and
those
treasures
in
him
,
and
to
direct
them
thereunto
,
and
not
at
first
to
preach
the
Law
,
or
otherwise
to
use
it
,
then
according
to
the
glorious
Gospel
:
The
Gospel
of
Christ
is
the
Arm
of
the
Lord
,
in
which
his
power
is
put
forth
,
and
Spirit
given
,
to
give
light
to
them
that
sit
in
darkness
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
;
so
Christ
sath
,
The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
upon
me
;
because
the
Lord
hath
anointed
me
to
preach
the
Gospel
to
the
poor
,
—
(
and
therewith
)
to
preach
recovery
of
sight
to
the
blind
,
to
preach
their
eyes
open
,
in
preaching
the
Gospel
.
Luke
4.
18.
So
our
Savionr
saith
,
The
Holy
Ghost
shall
reprove
and
convince
the
world
of
sin
,
of
righteousness
,
and
of
judgment
,
in
,
and
with
glorifying
Christ
;
this
way
he
should
shew
unto
them
,
and
open
their
eyes
to
behold
the
sinfulness
of
their
sin
,
in
not
believing
on
Christ
,
and
the
vanity
and
unprofitableness
of
their
Idols
,
of
their
works
of
righteousness
,
judgment
,
&c.
John

In
like
manner
also
the
Apostle
Paul
was
sent
with
this
Gospel
,
to
open
the
eyes
of
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
and
so
to
shew
them
what
a
sad
condition
they
were
in
,
how
well
thoughted
soever
they
were
of
themselves
.

The

is

for
discovering
all

in
their
right
and
proper
Colours
,
and
for
giving
sight
to
us
also
.

Surely
the
lifting
up
Christ
is
the
way
to
make
men
run
unto
him
that
were
formerly
insensible
of
their
sad
condition
without
him
,
because
they
were
ignorant
of
,

unacquainted
with
his
excellency

the

sheweth
unto
us
,
and
convinceth
us
of
our
deadness

as
the
Apostle
hereby
judged

herein
shewed
all

Particularly
from
the
Counsel
it self
,
we
may
note
these
instructions
.
-
1.
That
there
is
a
rich
treasury
,
and
full
and
compleat
provision
,
answering
to
the
needs
of
those
that
are
poor
,
&c.
and
know
it
not
.
-
2.
That
this
provision
may
be
had
by
such
as
are
poor
,
&c.
-
3.
That
to
the
end
they
partake
of
this
provision
,
and
preparation
,
it
is
needful
for
them
to
buy
it
,
to
buy
this
Gold
tryed
in
the
fire
,
&c.
-
4.
That
they
may
so
value
it
as
to
buy
it
,
neeful
it
is
that
they
are
prevented
,
and
strengthened
by
the
Grace
of
God
;
they
annoint
their
Eyes
with
eye-salve
that
they
may
see
.
1.
That
there

and
compleat
provision
answering
to
the
needs
of
those
that
are
poor
,
and
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
,
and
know
it
not
,
such
an
one
as
doth
answer
to
all
their
needs
,
and
may
supply
all
their
wants
;
here
is
Gold
tryed
in
the
fire
,
to
answer
to
their
wretchedness
,
miserableness
and
Poverty
,
white
raiment
,
to
cover
their
nakedness
,
and
Eye-salve
to
cure
their
blindness
.
—
Here
God
assisting
,
we
shall
consider
in
the
first
branch
of
the
Counsel
.
-
1.
What
is
this
Gold
here
commended
and
counselled
to
,
and
why
called
Gold
?
-
2.
What
is
signified
by
its
being
said
,
To
be
tried
in
the
fire
?
-
3.
What
imported
in
the
end
and
motive
to
buy
it
,
That
thou
mayst
be
rich
?
1.
What
is
this
Gold
that
is
commended
,
and
counselled
,
and
why
so
called
?
The
Gold
here
commended
and
councelled
to
,
is
not
natural
Gold
,
or
that
most
excellent
metal
which
is
taken
out
of
the
Earth
,
and
which
is
of
such
high
account
amongst
men
;
and
so
it
is
not
of
the
riches
of
this
world
;
for
the
wretched
,
miserable
poor
,
blind
,
naked
,
could
not
buy
this
in
a
natural
sense
,
such
have
it
not
,
nor
can
they
obtain
it
,
or
labour
for
it
;
nor
have
they
any
thing
to
give
in
exchange
for
it
,
who
are
so
miserably
poor
:
Nor
doth
the
faithful
and
true
witness
blame
,
rebuke
,
and
chasten
men
that
are
poor
,
blind
,
and
naked
,
and
destitute
of
this
Gold
,
simply
because
they
are
without
it
,
as
he
doth
these
for
being
poor
;
but
he
is
the
helper
of
such
as
are
naturally
poor
,
and
careth
for
them
,
and
pityeth
and
compassionateth
them
,
and
instructeth
others
to
be
open-handed
to
them
;
nor
doth
he
give
such
serious
counsel
to
any
of
his
Churches
,
to
buy
such
a
corruptible
thing
as
is
this
earthly
Gold
;
nor
need
we
be
so
earnestly
counselled
to
labour
for
this
perishing
thing
;
every
one
naturally
is
too
much
inclined
to
the
world
,
and
the
things
thereof
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
every
one
is
given
to
covetousnes
;
but
rather
on
the
other
hand
we
need
to
be
admonished
,
and
the
Wisdom
of
God
doth
admonish
us
,
not
to
labour
to
be
rich
,
Prov.
23.
4.
Yea
a
man
may
indeed
be
poor
and
miserable
enough
in
the
account
of
this
faithful
and
gracious
Counsellor
,
though
he
had
a
sufficient
quantity
of
natural
Gold
;
yea
,
though
he
had
the
whole
World
,
and
all
the
riches
thereof
:
But
here
this
blessed
Counseller
speaketh
about
Spiritual
and
Heavenly
things
,
and
commendeth
to
us
a
better
and
more
induring
substance
then
any
this
World
affordeth
,
or
can
be
enjoyed
in
having
and
possessing
the
most
pure
Gold
here
below
.
—
And
so
,
—
.
1.
By
Gold
is
here
meant
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself
,
who
is
become
the
Fountain
of
,
and
in
whom
are
all
durable
riches
and
righteousness
,
all
that
may
truly
inrich
us
.
Prov.
8.
18.
He
is
the
beginning
of
the
Creation
of
God
,
in
whom
originally
,
fundamentally
and
compleatly
there
is
a
new
Creation
,
and
all
thereto
appertaining
;
and
so
he
is
in
a
Spiritual
consideration
Gold
.
There
is
indeed
a
great
diffimilitude
in
the
old
and
new
Creation
in
this
respect
;
the
things
of
the
first
are
divers
and
different
one
from
another
;
there
a
man
that
counselleth
is
one
thing
,
and
Gold
another
,
and
White
raiment
a
third
;
but
in
the
new
,
Christ
is
all
.
Col.
3.

All
things
are
gathered
together
in
one
in
Christ

Eph.
1.
10.
He
is
the
faithful
and
gracious
Counsellor
,
who
councelleth
us
to
buy
Gold
,
and
he
is
the
person
of
whom
it
is
to
be
bought
;
and
he
is
the
Gold
that
is
to
be
bought
,
even
he
himself
as
he
is
declared
and
brought
to
us
in
the
Glorious
Gospel
,
which
therefore
is
,
and
is
called
the
riches
of
this
World
.
Rom.
11.

,
12.
So
he
is
not
onely
said
to
be
girded
with
fine
Gold
of
Uphaz
,
and
to
be
girt
about
the
Paps
with
a
Golden
Girdle
,
as
in
those
visional
discoveries
of
him
given
to
Daniel
and
John
.

13.
And
to
have
a
Crown
of
pure
Gold
on
his
head
.
Psal.
21.
3.
But
also
his
head
(
his
infinite
wisdom
,
and
unsearchable
judgment
and
understanding
,
and
his
Authority
,
Rule
,
and
Government
)
is
said
to
be
the
most
fine
Gold
,
and
his
hands
(
his
works
and
doings
appertaining
to
our
redempt
on
,
which
were
wrought
by
him
as
the
white
and
ruddy
one
)

Rings
set
with
the
Beril
(
wonderfully
rich
,
curious
,
and
inriching

And
by
virtue
of
their
Interest
in
,
union
with
,
and
relation
to
him
,
the
seven
Churches
are
said
to
be
Golden
Candlesticks
,
called
Golden
after
him
,
and
inriched
by
him
that
is
Gold
indeed
:
Thus
expresly
Eliphaz
calleth
him
,
speaking
to
Job
.
If
thou
return
to
the
Almighty
thou
shalt
be
built
up
,
—
Then
thou
shalt
lay
up
Gold
as
dust
,
and
the
Gold
of
Ophir
as
the
Stones
of
the
Brook
;
Yea
,
the
Almighty
shall
be
thy
Gold
,
and
thou
shalt
have
Silver
of
strength
;
for
then
shalt
thou
have
thy
delight
in
the
Almighty
.
Job
22.
23
,
26
So
the
Apostle
saith
,
that
to
him
was
this
Grace
given
;
That
he
should
preach
among
the
Gentiles
the
ansearchable
riches
of
Christ
;
namely
,
either
the
unsearchable
riches
he
hath
obtained
for
us
,
and
which
are
treasured
up
in
him
,
or
Christ
himself
who
is
unsearchable
riches
.
Eph.
3.
8.
Thus
also
it
is
said
,
That
in
him
are
hid
all
the
Treasures
of
Wisdom
and
Knowledge
.
Col.
2.
3.
In
like
manner
also
,
in
other
Metaphors
,
he
as
Preached
and
proclaimed
in
the
Gospel
is
said
to
be
a
Pearl
of
great
price
,
and
Treasure
hid
in
a
field
.
Mat.
13.
44
,

Now
he
in
himself
,
and
as
declared
to
us
in
his
Testimony
is
called
and
compared
to
Gold
,
to
signifie
to
us
in
general
his
preciousness
,
and
that
he
is
most
inriching
,
as
also
is
signified
in
the
end
laid
down
,
and
proposed
to
us
to
buy
it
,
That
we
may
be
rich
:
The
Holy
Ghost
doth
frequently
make
use
of
the
most
precious
things
of
this
world
,
and
compare
him
thereto
,
to
give
us
some
intimation
of
his
excellency
,
though
indeed
none
of
them
;
yea
,
all
of
them
cannot
sufficiently
acquaint
us
with
his
worthiness
,
or
set
forth
all
his
praises
;
but
for
the
helpfulness
of
us
,
and
because
of
the
infirmity
of
our
flesh
,
he
useth
such
expressions
,
we
being
better
skilled
in
the
things
here
below
,
that
we
might
in
a
little
measure
by
these
be
informed
of
his
preciousness
and
praise-worthiness
,
that
our
Souls
might
be
broken
off
from
the
things
here
below
,
and
cleave
to
him
,
and
we
might
seek
for
that
in
him
which
is
truly
in
him
,
and
but
appearingly
and
seemingly
in
natural
and
earthly
things
;
And
here
he
useth
this
expression
of
gold
,
and
particularly
he
is
called
and
compared
to
gold
.
1.
Because
as
Gold
is
taken
out
of
the
earth
before
it
becometh
so
precious
,
and
inriching
to
us
.
Job

So
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
fell
into
the
ground
,
and
died
,
and
was
taken
out
of
the
earth
,
the
heart
of
the
earth
,
that
he
might
become
inriching
to
us
.
Herein
indeed
there
is
a
dissimilitude
between
the
natural
gold
,
and
this
spiritual
(
as
there
are
many
between
the
old
and
new
creation
,
and
things
appertaining
to
both
)
the
earth
is
the
original
place
of
the
former
,
but
it
is
not
so
of
the
latter
:
Christ
came
down
from
Heaven
,
from
above
;
he
was
in
the
form
of
God
,
and
was
glorious
with
the
father
's
own
self
before
the
world
was
.

But
now
,
that
he
might
become
unsearchable
riches
for
us
,
it
was
absolutely
necessary
that
he
should
suffer
,
and
rise
again
from
the
dead
.

for

he
might
have
remained
alone
in
the
injoyment
of
his
own
glory
,
and
glorious
perfection
,
though
he
had
not
fallen
into
the
earth
;
but
he
could
not
have
brought
us
back
to
God
,
but
we
must
have
remained
in
our
miserable
poverty
for
ever
;
he
could
not
have
been
communicable
riches
to
us
,
as
we
had
departed
from
God
,
and
fallen
by
our
iniquities
,
if
he
had
not
died
for
our
sins
,
and
been
buried
;
and
if
also
he
who
was
delivered
for
our
offences
had
not
been
raised
again
,
and
taken
out
of
the
earth
in
that
same
body
in
which
he
was
put
to
death
,
and
laid
in
a
Sepulchre
,
he
could
not
have
been
Gold
for
us
,
we
could
not
have
been
partakers
of
him
,
and
of
that
glory
in
him
:
If
Christ
be
not
raised
again
we
are
yet
in
our
sins
;
preaching
,
and
hearing
,
faith
and
hope
is
vain
,
and
they
who
are
fallen
asleep
in
Christ
are
perished
;
and
we
must
be
banished
from
God
for
ever
necessarily
,
and
so
continue
poor
,
and
miserable
everlastingly
;
But
now
Christ
is
risen
from
the
dead
,
and
so
truth
(
substance
,
and
substantial
riches
)
is
sprung
out
of
the
earth
,
(
in
his
resurrection
)
and
righteousness
looketh
down
from
Heaven
;
and
God
giveth
us
that
which
is
good
.

in

which
the

prepared
for
him
,
and
in
which
he
bare
our
sins
on
the
tree
,
and
was
taken
from
Prison
and
from
Judgment
)
dwelleth
all
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
;
and
in
him
we
are
compleat

compleatly
provided
for
,

furnished
with
all
that
may
truly
inrich
us

,
what
is
it
(
what
is
signified
hereby

that
he

descended

(
into
the
womb
of
the
Virgin
,
and
into
a
great
abasement

sorrows

sufferings
;
he
humbled
himself
,

became
obedient
to
death
,
even
the
death
of
the
cross
;
yea
he
went
down
into

heart

his
soul
was
in
hell
,
and
his
flesh
in
the
grave
,
in

of
the

He
that
descended
is
the
same
also
that
ascended
farr

that
he
might
fill

Because
he
humbled
himself

therefore
God
highly
exalted
him
,

gave
him
a

And
he

beholding
this

is

behold
a
more
excellent

pleasant
Object
:
We
may
say
in
this
respect
,
Jesus
Christ
may
be
called
Gold
;
because
he
is
eminently
,
and
most
fully
desirable
,
and
taking
to
the
Soul
,
as
he
hath
been
tried
in
the
first
;
he
is
compleatly
delightful
,
and
there
is
in
him
that
which
is
powerful
to
draw
the
eye
,
and
attract
the
heart
unto
him
,
and
cause
men
to
lust
after
him
;
hence
he
is
called
The
desire
of
all
Nations
;
because
he
is
wholy
and
altogether
desirable
,
and
is
,
and
hath
in
him
eminently
that
which
all
Nations
do
desire
,
and
cover
after
,
viz.
That
which
may
give
rest

satisfying
to
them

through
their
foolishness
they
are
seeking
it
in
wrong
Objects

Thus
when
the
Spouse
is
describing
the
amiableness
of
her
beloved
,
the
first
account
she
giveth
of
him
particularly
is
,
That
his
head
is
as
the
most
sine

To
intimate
,
that
in
this
respect
he
is
very
taking
with
,
and
delightful
to
the
Heart
;
He
is
a
wonderful
enamouring
Object
as
he
is
lifted
up
by
the
Spirit
in
the
Testimony
,
and
which
is
very
powerful
to
cause
men
to
run
unto
him
;
because
of
the
Lord
his
God
,
and
for
the
Holy
one
of
Israel
;
for
he
hath
glorified
him
;
hence
we
are
so
oftentimes
called
upon
to
be
hold
him
:
So
the
father
saith
.
Behold
my
servant
whom
I
uphold
,
mine
elect
in
whom
my
soul
delighteth
.
Isa.

And
Christ
himself
saith
.
Look
unto
me
and
be
ye
saved
all
the
ends
of
the
Earth
.
Isa.
45.

And
again
he
saith
Behold
me
,
behold
me
,
to
a
Nation
that
was
not
called
by
his
name
.
Isa.

And
the
Work
of
the
Spirit
is
to
glorifie
Christ
,
and
to
lift
him
up
as
Moses
lifted
up
the
Serpent
in
the
Wilderness
,
that
men
might
look
to
him
;
And
that
whosoever
looketh
to
him
,
and
believeth
in
him
,
should
not
perish
;
but
have
everlasting
life
.

And
the
work
of
the
Spouse
,
of
all
chaste
ones
,
is
to
discover
his
love
and
loveliness
,
that
men
might
come
to
Christ
:
Thus
when
the
Daughters
of
Jerusalem
inquire
of
her
;
What
is
thy
beloved
more
then
beloved
,
O
thou
fairest
among
Women
?
What
is
thy
beloved
more
then
beloved
,
that
thou
dost
so
charge
us
?
She
with
much
pleasure
and
contentment
answereth
.
My
beloved
is
White
and
Ruddy
,
the
chiefest
often
thousands
;
—
He
is
excellent
as
the
Ceders
,
his
mouth
is
most
sweet
;
yea
,
he
is
altogether
lovely
;
this
is
my
beloved
,
and
this
is
my
friend
,
O
ye
daughters
of
Jerusalem
.
And
this
discovery
of
him
was
so
taking
with
them
,
that
they
also
inquire
whither
he
was
gone
,
that
they
might
seek
him
with
her
;
her
work
and
business
is
not
to
direct
to
her self
,
and
mainly
to
insist
upon
the
commendation
of
her self
,
as
doth
Mystery
Babylon
,
both
Mother
and
Daughters
,
who
spend
a
great
deal
of
time
,
and
use
many
Arguments
to
commend
themselves
,
and
to
prove
themselves
to
be
the
true
Catholick
Church
,
and
that
there
is
none
like
to
them
;
Oh
what
contentions
are
there
amongst
them
on
this
account
!
How
greatly
do
they
strive
which
shall
be
accounted
the
truest
and
chiefest
?
Yea
;
she
is
so
far
from
this
,
that
she
saith
to
the
Daughters
of
Jerusalem
;
Look
not
upon
me
,
but
as
she
delighteth
to
behold
,
and
look
upon
her
beloved
,
so
also
to
praise
and
commend
him
,
and
make
mention
of
his
desirableness
,
and
praise-worthiness
to
others
,
that
they
may
enquire
after
,
and
direct
their
Eyes
unto
this
alluring
Object
,
and
she
is
greatly
pleased
,
and
in
her
Element
,
as
it
were
,
when
she
is
speaking
of
,
and
shewing
forth
his
praises
to
others
;
yea
,
this
is
the
end
why
they
that
believe
are
brought
into
,
and
made
of
his
Church
,
and
so
greatly
piviledged
,
not
that
they
might
proclaim
their
own
goodness
,
but
that
they
should
make
mention
of
his
righteousness
,
and
shew
forth
his
praises
,
who
hath
called
them
out
of
darkness
into
his
marvellous
light
;
which
in
time
past
were
not
a
people
,
but
are
now
the
people
of
God

And
his
desirableness

loveliness
to
the
eye
,
is
signified
in
several
descriptions

declarations
given
of
him
,
in
which
he
is
like
to
,
though
infinitely
exceeding
Gold
,
even
pleasant
to
behold
;
So
he
is
said
to
be
beautiful
,
beauty
and
fairness
are
very
delightful
,
and
desirable
,
the
eye
is
affected
therewith
,
and
apt
to
lust
thereafter
;
hence
it
is
said
,
The
Sons
of

of

that
they
were
fair

and
they
took
them
to

he
is

what

The

indured

underwent
for
us

for

sakes

herein
he
was
like
gold
thrown

as
that
signifieth
great
and
grievous
pains

He
was
tormented
(
as
in

for
our
transgressions
,
bruised
for
our
iniquity
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was

Herein
he

the

therefore
also
is
he

And
he
did
not

in

indured
to
the
end
;
his
love
and
graciousness
was
tried
,

evidenced
to
be
strong
as
death
,
yea
stronger
then
the
fire
it self
,
which
had
a
most
vehement
flame
:
He
in
what
he

indured
,
is
the

,
the
Faithful
and
true
witness

testifier
of
his
sincere
and
ardent
affection
to
us
:
Though
the
fire
he
was
thrown
into
was
exceeding
hot
,
yet
his
love
and
charity
towards
us
was
so
servent
,
as
that
it
did
exceed
,
and
was
hotter
than
the
fire
it self
;
He
for
the
joy
set
before
him
indured
the
cross
,
despising
the
shame
;
he
gave
His
back
to
the
smiters
,
and
his
cheeks
to
them
that
plucked
off
the
Hair
;
He
hid
not
his
face
from
shame
and
spitting
:
He
set
his
face
like
a
flint
,
as
one
that
hardened
himself
against
sorrow
,
(
as

)
and
even
challenged
his
adversary
that
contended
with
him
,
to
come
near
,

try
his
strength
against
him

his
love
was
so

there
was

,
no
fear
that
hath
torment

fierceness
of

fire
he
was
to

through

he
was
not

;
He
did
not
fear
in
the
days
of

,
when
our
iniquities
that
were
imputed
to
,

were
to
be
taken

compass
him
about
.

but
he
stedfastly
set
his

it
,
to
bear

endure
all
things

that
were
needful

thus
it
appeared
in
his
great
agony
,
and
day
of
his
distress
,
that
he
was
proved
indeed
,
and
yet
did
,
and
was
resolved
to
abide
the
fire
:
Now
,
saith
he
,
is
my
soul
troubled
(
exceedingly
sorrowful
,
even
unto
death
,
invironed
and
incompassed
about
with
sorrows
and
pangs
)
and
what
shall
I
say
?
Father
,
save
me
from
this
hour
(
shall
I
desire
this
absolutely
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
Shall
I
pray
that
the
Cup
might
be
removed
,
that
I
may
not
taste
it
?
No
)
but
for
this
cause
came
I
unto
this
hour
.
Father
glorifie
thy
name
.
This
he
resolved
to
pray
for
and
desire
whatever
he
suffered
and
indured
,
that
his
father
would
glorifie
his
goodness
,
love
,
power
,
wisdom
and
faithfulness
,
for
the
good
of
Mankind

to
do
thy
Will

though
he
must
in
doing
it
indure
and
undergo
such
great
torments
,
sorrows
and
sufferings
:
Well
might
he
say
,
Lo
,
behold
it
;
for
his
love
was
herein
proved
,
and
appeared
to
be
great
even
to
admiration
,
such
as
may
make
us
even
astonied
at
it
.

It
appeareth
he
was
tried
in
the
fire
,
and
did
abide
it
,
he
was
Gold
tried
indeed
,
and
this
will
still
appear
if
we
consider
a
little
particularly
.
His
love
and
faithfulness
was
tried
in
leaving
such
Glory
,
and
so
greatly
emptying
himself
,
and
making
himself
of
no
reputation
:
He
,
the
Word
,
was
with
God
,
yea
was
God
,
the
proper
Lord
and
Heir
of
all
things
by
Divine
and
Eternal
Generation
,
by
whom
and
for
whom
all
things
were
Created
visible
and
invisible
,
who
was
over
all
,
God
blessed
for
ever
;
he
was
glorious
with
the
fathers
own
self
,
enjoying
the
Glory
of
God
in
Heaven
.
The
Lord
possessed
him
in
the
beginning
of
his
way
,
before
his
works
of
old
,
he
was
set
up
from
everlasting
,
from
the
beginning
,
or
ever
the
Earth
was
,
then
was
he
by
him
,
one
brought
up
with
him
,
and
he
was
daily
his
delight
,
rejoycing
always
before
him
.
Prov.
8
22-30
.
Now
for
such
an
one
to
make
himself
of
no
reputation
,
for
such
an
one
to
come
down
from
Heaven
,
and
to
abase
and
humble
himself
to
the
induring
such
sufferings
and
undergoing
such
shame
and
sorrows
;
Oh!
here
he
was
Gold
tried
in
the
fire
indeed
;
He
being
in
the
form
of
God
,
in
the
essential
form
of
God
,
thought
it
no
robbery
to
be
equal
with
God
,
yet
made
himself
of
no
reputation
.
Phil.
2.
6-8
,
Without
controversy
,
great
is
the
mystery
of
Godliness
,
God
became
man
,
the
Word
was
made
flesh
,
the
Lord
became
a
Servant
,
he
that
was
rich
became
poor
,
he
that
was
in
Heaven
descended
,
and
came
into
the
Earth
,
and
tabernacled
among
men
.
Oh!
here
was
the
trial
of
his
love
and
faithfulness
,
here
he
was
proved
to
purpose
,
and
yet
did
abide
it
,
and
was
faithful
to
him
that
appointed
him
,
and
loving
and
gracious
to
us
,
it
is
a
great
trial
amongst
men
,
when
one
that
is
lifted
up
and
advanced
above
his
brethren
,
is
put
upon
it
to
part
with
,
and
lay
aside
that
Glory
;
but
his
Glory
was
infinitely
more
excellent
,
and
his
person
inconceivably
more
worthy
then
that
of
any
Earthly
King
or
Emperour
,
and
yet
he
so
humbled
himself
,
and
came
down
,
and
emptied
himself
for
us
.
His
love
and
faithfulness
was
tried
,
and
he
was
Gold
tried
,
in
that
he
indured
all
this
from
the
hand
of
his
father
,
as
inflicted
,
or
permitted
and
ordered
by
him
;
it
is
a
great
probation
,
and
toucheth
the
quick
,
when
a
most
intimate
lover
woundeth
with
the
wound
of
an
enemy
,
with
the
chastisement
of
a
cruel
one
(
as
Jer.
30.
14.
)
what
he
indured
was
from
the
hands
of
his
father
,
who
infinitely
loved
him
,
in
whose
bosom
he
was
,
and
with
whom
he
was
well
pleased
;
and
yet
by
him
he
was
cast
into
the
fire
,
and
did
chearfully
and
constantly
abide
it
;
yea
,
he
was
angry
with
,
and
sharply
reproved
him
that
indeavoured
to
deliver
him
from
this
fire
,
or
some
part
of
it
;
The
Cup
which
my
father
hath
given
me
to
drink
,
shall
I
not
drink
it
?
John
18.

,

Here
he
was
proved
indeed
,
and
hence
he
crieth
out
,
Why
hast
thou
forsaken
[
Me
?
]
me
,
whom
thou
lovest
so
intirely
,
so
inexpressibly
,
so
inconceivably
,
the
Son
of
thy
love
,
of
whom
thou
hast
given
such
Testimony
,
That
I
am
thy
well
beloved
Son
.
Psal.
22.
1.
This
was
a
trial
of
his
confidence
in
his
fathers
love
,
and
of
his
obedience
to
him
,
and
yet
he
did
abide
faithful
,
and
never
was
jealous
or
distrustful
of
his
fathers
affection
,
but
in
the
midst
of
the
fire
,
and
when
through
the
heat
of
it
he
cryeth
out
and
roareth
,
yet
he
cryeth
out
.
Oh
my
Father
,
and
my
God

God

And
though
he
was
a
Son
,
his
only
begotten
Son
,
his
infinitely
beloved
,
and
delighted
in
,
Son
,
yet
he
learned
,
and
shewed
forth
obedience
by
the
things
which
he
suffered
.
Heb.
5.
9.
—
His
love
and
faithfulness
was
proved
,
in
that
he
upon
his
own
account
had
not
deserved
any
thing
of
affliction
or
trouble
from
his
father
;
For
he
always
did
those
things
that
pleased
him
.
John
8.
29.
And
God
gave
that
Testimony
of
him
,
That
he
was
his
beloved
Son
in
whom
he
was
well
pleased
;
He
knew
no
sin
,
he
did
no
sin
,
but
was
Holy
,
harmless
,
undefiled
,
separate
from
sinners
;
and
yet
that
he
was
so
dealt
withall
,
and
so
tormented
,
doubtless
this
was
a
great
trial
:
The
Messiah
was
cut
off
,
but
not
for
himself
,
not
for
any
fault
of
his
,
he
had
deserved
no
such
thing
.
Well
might
the
Apostle
say
:
The
love
of
Christ
passeth
Knowledge

Oh
how
different
is
our
carriage
when
we
are
in
trouble
and
affliction
;
we
are
apt
to
complain
,
and
fret
against
God
,
and
to
be
discontented
,
when
we
indeed
suffer
justly
,
and
would
be
rid
off
,
and
delivered
from
the
burden
;
though
it
is
thank-worthy
that
a
man
taketh
it
patiently
when
he
is
corrected
or
buffeted
for
his
faults
.

we
are

punishment
of
our
own
sin
,
such
unreasonable
Creatures
are
we
.

But
this
man
did
nothing
worthy
of
death
,
or
of
bonds
,
and
yet
he
indured
willingly
:
But
this
was
a
great
trial
,
and
this
may
be
included
also
in
that
;
My
God
,
my
God
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
[
Me
?
]
me
?
who
never
offended
,
or
displeased
thee
at
any
time
.
Psal.
22.
1.
On
this
account
,
and
in
this
respect
he
was
greatly
tried
,
and
yet
he
did
willingly
and
readily
indure
the
fire
,
and
offered
himself
to
be
thrown
thereinto
;
yea
,
he
acknowledgeth
,
thou
art
Holy
,
though
thou
castest
me
into
the
fire
who
am
thine
Holy
one
,
O
thou
that
inhabitest
the
Praises
of
Israel
.
Psal.
22.
1-3
.
He
was
tried
in
induring
such
great
afflictions
and
sorrows
for
such
persons
as
he
did
,
for
such
ungodly
ones
,
who
did
not
worship
God
,
nor
desire
any
mercy
from
him
;
for
such
sinners
,
who
had
sin
in
us
,
and
were
greatly
polluted
and
defiled
therewith
,
and
therefore
such
as
he
could
not
delight
in
,
or
have
fellowship
with
;
yea
,
for
such
as
were
enemies
also
unto
him
in
our
minds
,
and
haters
of
him
:
This
was
a
great
trial
to
suffer
for
such
,
to
be
cast
into
the
fire
for
such
unclean
ones
,
for
such
unworthy
and
ungrateful
ones
,
who
were
not
onely
undesirous
,
and
insensible
of
the
favour
,
but
full
of
enmity
against
him
,
and
haters
of
him
that
so
testified
his
love
towards
us
:
Amongst
men
,
scarcely
for
a
righteous
man
(
who
giveth
to
every
one
that
which
appertaineth
to
him
,
and
requireth
from
every
man
that
which
is
due
〈◊〉
himself
)
will
one
dye
;
yet
peradventure
for
a
good
man
some
would
even
dare
to
dye
;
yet
this
would
be
a
great
trial
,
and
it
is
but
a
peradventure
,
Whether
any
one
would
so
do
or
no
?
It
is
questionable
whether
any
would
lay
down
his
life
for
a
good
man
,
that
is
beneficial
and
bountiful
,
and
full
of
good
Works
,
and
is
not
so
exact
and
rigorous
as
the
righteous
man
,
but
giveth
to
others
what
he
is
not
at
all
obliged
to
,
and
forgiveth
,
and
remitteth
what
he
might
justly
expect
,
demand
or
receive
from
another
:
But
oh
,
how
was
he
proved
,
and
yet
did
indure
,
and
abide
faithful
to
the
interest
of
our
Souls
?
Greater
love
then
this
hath
no
man
,
then
to
lay
down
his
life
for
his
friends
;
but
while
we
were
yet
without
strength
,
in
due
time
Christ
died
for
the
ungodly
;
and
herein
he
commendeth
his
love
to
us
,
in
that
while
we
were
yet
sinners
,
Christ
died
for
us
;
yea
,
while
we
were
enemies
,
God
was
in
Christ
reconciling
the
world
to
himself
,
not
imputing
their
trespasses
to
them
,
but
to
him
,
and
he
willingly
yielded
up
himself
to
become
a
Sin-offering
for
us
;
he
by
the
Grace
of
God
tasted
death
for
every
man
:
This
is
a
faithful
saying
,
and
worthy
of
all
acceptation
,
That
Christ
Jesus
came
into
the
World
to
save
sinners
,
the
chief
of
sinners
,
such
as
were
persecuters
of
him
,
and
blasphemers
of
his
Name
and
Gospel

He
was

also
in
this
,
in
that
he
not
only
indured
such
great
affliction
for
his
enemies

even
for
every
sinful
Creature
of
Mankind
;

in
that
also
he
met
with
so
much
exercise

occasion
of
grief
from
them

he
suffered
for
them

from
them

he
was
despised

rejected

good
he

of

esteemed

not

he
hath
born

grief

carryed
our
sorrows

we
did
esteem
him
stricken

smitten
of

afflicted

reckoned

all
he
underwent
was
laid
upon

Oh
wonderful
trial
!
Oh
matchless
love
!
He
was
greatly
tried
also
in
the
greatness
and
depth
of
the
abasement
,
whereto
he
was
abased
for
us
,
a
small
condiscension
in
such
an
excellent
and
glorious
person
,
for
such
unworthy
ones
would
have
been
admirable
:
But
as
that
would
not
have
sufficed
for
our
recovery
,
so
such
was
the
cordialness
of
his
love
,
and
servency
of
his
affection
to
us
,
that
he
did
not
avoid
or
shrink
from
that
great
abasement
,
whereto
it
was
absolutely
necessary
he
should
humble
himself
,
that
we
might
be
redeemed
from
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
and
our
loss
might
be
again
recovered
for
us
,
he
laid
not
hold
on
the
Nature
of
Angels
,
when
many
of
them
had
sinned
,
to
keep
them
from
falling
,
or
to
recover
them
;
though
that
had
been
wonderfully
beneath
him
;
but
he
was
made
a
little
lower
then
the
Angels
,
his
own
Creatures
,
in
a
Nature
inferiour
to
theirs
;
yea
,
he
did
not
partake
of
our
Nature
,
as
it
was
when
first
Created
by
God
,
but
as
it
was
become
through
our
seeking
out
foolish
inventions
,
and
was
in
all
things
like
unto
us
,
sin
only
excepted
,
he
partook
with
us
of
flesh
and
blood
,
of
weakness
and
mortality
,
and
was
subject
to
all
our
infirmities
,
to
hunger
,
thirst
,
weariness
,
painfulness
,
and
was
poor
and
needy
,
and
took
upon
him
the
form
of
a
Servant
,
who
was
Lord
of
all
,
and
was
made
in
the
likeness
of
men
,
(
yea
,
of
sinful
flesh
)
and
being
found
in
fashion
as
a
man
,
he
still
and
further
humbled
himself
,
and
became
obedidient
to
death
,
even
the
death
of
the
Cross
,
that
cruel
,
shameful
and
accursed
death
.

into

He
was
tried
,

found
faithful

that

his
power

himself
,
and
with
the
father
,
that
he
could
have
acquitted
himself
from
those
sufferings
which
he
indured
from
his
enemies
:
He
was
not
at
first
necessitated
to
undertake
for
us
;
but
his
Grace
and
free
love
moved
him
thereto
,
and
he
could
afterwards
have
confounded
his
foes
,
and
that
way
,
or
otherwise
have
delivered
himself
out
of
their
hands
,
as
he
did
do
many
times
in
the
days
of
his
personal
ministration
,
and
some
proof
and
demonstration
he
gave
of
his
power
to
have
destroyed
them
;
had
he
pleased
;
when
they
came
to
apprehend
him
;
for
when
he
told
the
band
of
Men
and
Officers
,
who
were
sent
to
take
him
;
that
he
was
the
person
they
sought
for
,
as
soon
as
he
had
said
unto
them
,
I
am
he
,
they
went
backward
,
and
fell
to
the
ground
.

Servant

addeth
,
Thinkest
thou
that
I
cannot
now
pray
to
my

he
shall
presently
give
me
more
then
twelve

(
as
intimating
,
that
such
was
his
interest

he
prayed
he
might
have
been
rescued
from
their
destruction

a
great
and
Heavenly
Host
of
those
Glorious
Angels

and
needed
not
Peter's
Sword
to
avenge
his
quarrel

but
how
then
should
the
Scriptures
be
fulfilled
(
in
his
breaking
the
head
of
the
Serpent
,
and
healing
that
first
breach
between
God
and
Manking
,
and
doing
,
and
becoming
that
whereby
we
might
be
brought
back
to
God

He
was
not
forced
to
suffer
what
he
did
,
but
he
might
have
avoided
all
,
had
he
so
pleased
,
and
this
is
a
great
trial
of
love
and
patience
:
We
may
pretend
to
patience
in
sufferings
when
we
cannot
help
our selves
,
but
if
the
power
were
in
our
hands
,
we
should
be
apt
presently
to
get
rid
of
the
trouble
;
but
though
Christ
was
such
a
mighty
one
,
yet
he
readily
and
chearfully
undertook
for
us
at
first
,
and
patiently
indured
to
the
last
such
an
hot
fire
;
He
was
not
a
Passive
simply
,
but
Active
and
forward
also
,
in
all
his
abasement
;
not
only
was
he
sent
into
the
World
,
but
he
came
,
and
came
rejoycingly
,
Lo
I
come
,
I
delight
to
do
thy
Will.
Psal.

Not

was
he
made
flesh

body

father
prepared
for
him
.
Heb.

was
he
put
to

breathed
forth
,

commended
his
Spirit
into
the
hand
of
his
father

they
died

he
so
soon
died

admired
at
it

emptied
himself

was

obedience
to
his
father

in
his
love

in

power

in
grapling
with
such

many

great
enemies

in
his
so
great
abasement
,
and
in
the
day
of
his
calamity
,
when
the
fathers
wrath
lay
heavy
upon
him
:
They
prevented
him
in
the
day

his
fog

God
forsook
him
,

hid
his
face

was
their
hour

then
his

strength
against
him

He
bare
our
sins

Tree

this
was
so
great
a
burden
,
that
his
heart
even
failed
,

were
such

multitude

they
were
more
then

love
?
Surely
we
have
let
slip
the
view
of
,
and
departed
from
the
consideration
of
his
love
,
while
we
are
doting
upon
,
and
boasting
of
,
and
lifting
up
our selves
by
,
and
glor
〈…〉ing
in
our
love
:
Oh!
consider
also
how
he
hath
been
tried
,
that
we
may
not
complain
of
,
or
faint
under
our
trials
;
But
that
we
may
run
with
patience
the
race
set
before
us
,
look
we
unto
Jesus
,
who
for
the
joy
set
before
him
indured
the
Cross
,
despising
the
shame
,
&c.
And
consider
diligently
the
excellency
of
this
Gold
,
and
how
it
hath
been
tried
,
that
we
may
be
zealous
,
and
buy
it
,
whatever
it
cost
us
.

His
being
tried
in
the
fire
,
doth
signifie
,
that
he
was
herein

herethrough
purifi'd

refin'd
,

came
forth
as
Gold
out
of
the
fire

Indeed
he
never
had
any
pollution
of
his
own
,
or
any
mixture
of
sin
cleaving
to
him
,
he
was
the
Holy
one
of
God
,
he
knew
no
sin
in
partaking
of
our
Nature
;
for
he
was
made
partaker
of
it
by
a
wonderful
work
of
new
Creation
;
so
as
that
he
,
and
he
only
partook
not
of
the
filth
,
or
pollution
of
our
sin
;
he
did
indeed
partake
of
our
sorrows
,
sufferings
,
afflictions
;
He
was
in
all
points
tempted
like
unto
us
,
yet
without
sin
,
Heb.
4.

He
had
no
sin
of
his
own
to
answer
for
,
he
did
no
sin
,
neither
was
guile
found
in
his
mouth
.
1

But
yet
he
had
our
sins
laid
upon
him
,
and
was
by
imputation
spotted
,
as
it
were
with
our
spots
,
and
deformed
with
our
afflictions
and
wrinkles
.
—
Though
he
knew
no
sin
,
yet
God
made
him
to
be
sin
for
us
,
and
imputed
the
trespasses
of
the
world
unto
him
,
the
guilt
of
our
natural
,
and
necessary
sin
and
sinfulness
;
even
the
guilt
of
the
disobedience
of
the
first
man
Adam
,
in
which
we
all
sinned
,
and
from
whence
we
are
necessarily
polluted
and
defiled
;
and
of
all
the
unavoidable
branches
thereof
,
this
was
imputed
to
,
and
laid
upon
,
and
accepted
by
him
as
his
to
answer
for
;
and
he
his
own
self
bare
our
sins
in
his
own
body
on
the
tree
.

All
we
like
sheep
have
gone
astray
,
we
have
turned
every
one
to

way
,
and
the
Lord
laid
on
him
the
iniquities
of
us
all
.

confesseth
these
as

were

so
by
the

became

therein

made
peace

all
that

He

:
When
his
God
forsook

despised
of

people
:
all

him

out

let
him
deliver
him
,
if
he
delight
in
him

as
intimating
,
that
though
he
made
his
boast
of
God
,
and
said
he
was
his
Father
,
yet
he
would
not
own
him
as
his
Son
;
and
therefore
said
they
,
God
hath
forsaken
him

persecute
and
take
him
,
for
there
is
none
to
deliver
him
.
Psal.

how
he
was
covered
with
reproches
,
as
if
he
had
been
a
gluttonous
person
,
and
a
wine-bibber
,
a
friend
of
Publicans
and
Sinners
,
as
if
he
had
cast
out
Devils
by
Beelzebub
the
Prince
of
Devils
;
as
if
he
was
a
deceiver
of

people

guilty
of
blasphemy
against
God
,
and
of
stirring
up
sedition
amongst
the
people

the
Scriptures

Evangelists
abundantly
shew
to
us

—
But
in
this
respect
also
,
he
is
tried
in
,

came
purified
out
of

fire
;

hath
in
himself
overcome

abolished
that
death

died

and
put
off
all
mortaliry

hath
put
on
immortality
;
his
body
that
was
so
marred
and
without
forme
,
is
now
become
a
glorious
body
;
and
he
therein
,
and
he
only
,
is
a
spiritual
man
;
death
in
him
is
swallowed
up
into
victory
;
and
he
is
become
the
first-fruits
of
them
that
sleep
;
and
his
triumphing
Song
is
,
Oh
death
,
where
is
thy
sting
?
Oh
grave
,
or
hell
,
where
is
thy
victory
?
The
sting
of
death
is
sin
(
this
he
hath
purged
away
)
and
the
strength
of
sin
is
the
law
(

hath
answered
,

gotten
himself
the

he
hath
put

pain

mortality
,
and
restored
our
nature
in
himself
into
the
image

glorious

ever
it
was
in
the
first
creation

righteousness

immortality

life

glorified
with

own
self

with
the
glory
he
had
with
him
before
the
world
was
:
Therein
he
is
become
eternal
life
for
us
who
was
delivered
for

offences

such
glory

lustre
is
upon

body

above

brightness
of
the
sun
at

such
as

are
not

behold

wonderfully

covered
him

This
Gold
is
said
to
be
tried
,
to
denote
and
signifie
,
that
this
work
,
this
trying
work
is
over
and
past
,
though
the
virtue
and
glorious
fruit
of
it
remaineth
,
and
abideth
for
ever
:
It
is
not
said
,
Gold
[
trying
]
but
[
tried
]
in
(
or
out
of
)
the
fire
;
for
(
as
before
is
said
)
he
is
acquitted
of
all
our
sins
,
that
were
imputed
to
him
,
and
hath
overcome
,
abolished
,
and
got
rid
of
all
our
weakness
and
mortality
,
and
all
occasions
of
grief
and
trouble
,
and
is
not
(
as
some
ungodly
,
and
Antichristian
Spirits
affirm
blasphemously
)
dying
in
some
,
or
in
any
,
in
every
Age
of
the
World
:
Those
that
so
say
make
his
sufferings
and
Sacrifice
like
those
directed
to
under
the
Law
,
they
even
count
the
blood
of
the
Covenant
a
common
thing
,
like
the
blood
of
Bulls
and
Goats
take
away
sin
,
and
therefore
was
daily
offered
;
but
herein
his
Blood
and
Sacrifice
is
distinguished
from
,
and
infinitely
preferred
before
all
legal
Blood
and
Offerings
,
in
that
his
is
not
to
be
itterated
,
or
repeated
;
and
so
by
consequence
he
can
suffer
no
more
,
as
the
Apostle
intimateth
in
the
dissimilitudes
he
maketh
between
the
former
Priests
,
and
their
Offerings
,
which
they
offered
according
to
the
Law
,
and
our
High-Priest
,
and
his
Offering
,
when
he
saith
.
Nor
yet
that
he
should
offer
himself
often
as
the
High-Priest
entreth
into
the
Holy
place
every
year
with
blood
of
others
;
for
then
must
he
often
have
suffered
since
the
Foundation
of
the
World
(
which
to
imagine
and
affirm
is
the
greatest
,
and
first-born
of
absurdities
,
as
the
Apostle
doth
intimate
)
but
now
once
in
the
end
of
the
World
hath
he
appeared
to
put
away
sin
,
by
the
Sacrifice
of
himself
.

,
saith

Fear
not

I

Were
he
always
trying
,
always
suffering
and
offering
,
there
could
be
no
perfection
by
his
Blood
,
if
he
were
always
dying
in
some
,
in
every
Age
,
or
always
to
be
offered
up
a
propitiatory
Sacrifice
,
then
would
his
Blood
and
Sacrifice
be
like
that
Blood
,
and
those
Sacrifices
under
the
Law
,
which
could
not
make
the
comers
thereunto
perfect
;
for
the
Law
made
nothing
perfect
:
But
Christ
hath
once
,
and
but
once
,
suffered
for
sins
,
the
just
for
the
unjust

perfect
righteousness

by
himself
for
us
;
and
therein
sheweth
and
demonstrateth
the
unprofitableness
of
ours
,
in
that
he
is
gone
to
the
father
,
and
we
see
him
no
more
,
no
more
coming
down
to
suffer
,

offer
any
new
Offering
,

to
repeat
that
Offering
of
his

he
given
,

left
behind
him
instruction
to
any

may
pretend
himself
to
be

In
this
Phrase
then
,
or
manner
of
speaking
is
implied
,
and
intimated
to
us
,
the
preciousness
of
his
personal
abasement
and
sufferings
,
and
herein
is
evidenced
that
his
Flesh
is
meat
indeed
,
and
his
Blood
is
drink
indeed
,
that
we
might
eat
his
Flesh
,
and
drink
his
Blood
,
and
rejoyce
and
glory
in
nothing
,
save
in
the
Cross
of
Christ
;
in
that
he
is
tried
,
not
trying
,
but
come
out
of
,
and
delivered
from
the
fire
,
taken
from
prison
and
judgment
,
and
is
ascended
up
where
he
was
before
.
John

And
it
is
also
a
powerful
admonition
to
us
,
not
to
count
it
a
common
thing
,
not
to
despise
or
set
light
by
it
;
for
there
remaineth
no
more
Sacrifice
for
sins
,
he
can
dye
no
more
;
so
that
,
If
this
Blood
and
Sacrifice
be
rejected
,
and
trodden
under
foot
,
till
the
day
of
Grace
and
patience
be
at
an
end
,
there
remaineth
nothing
but
a
certain
fearful
looking
for
of
Judgment
and
fiery
indignation
.

was

power

sware

In

in
saying
,
Gold
tried
in

is
also
signified
,
that
he
is
become
Gold
for
us
who
was
tried
,
even
that
same
person
,
in
that
same
body
;
the
same
that
was
tried
,
the
same
is
become
Gold
for
us
,
precious
and
inriching
,
even
as
it
is
with

earthly
Gold
,
that
precious
Metal
of

The

substance
that
is
cast
in
,
the
same
cometh
out
again
,
and
is
Gold
tried
,
only
the
Dross
and
mixture
is
taken
out
;
so
it
is
here
,
this
Spiritual
and
Heavenly
Gold
which
was
in
the
fire
,
and
was
then
Gold
,
the
most
precious
one
,
even
he
,
the
same
Jesus
,
who
dyed
for
our
sins
,
and
was
buried
,
he
in
that
very
personal
body
is
raised
again
,
discharged
from
the
guilt
of
our
sins
,
and
free
from
the
fruits
thereof
:
God
did
not
leave
his
Soul
(
which
was
made
an
Offering
for
our
sins
.

in

nor
suffer
his

And
herein
is
he
preferred
before
David

He
fell
on

,
and
was
laid
unto
his
fathers
,
and
saw
corruption
,
and
his
Sepulchre
is
with
us
(
saith
Peter
)
unto
this
day
;
but
Christ
,
whom
God
raised
again
,
saw
no
corruption
.
Acts

And
Christ
in
those
fourty
days
after
his
resurrection
,
in
which
he
was
seen
of
his
Apostles
,
Shewed
himself
alive
after
his
passion
,
by
many
infallible
proofs

And
shewed
them
his

his
side
that
was
pierced
with
a
Spear
of
a
Souldier
,
and
his
Disciples
did
see
and
look
upon
,
and
handle
his
raised
body
,
by
which
it
appeared
he
was
not
a
Spirit
simply
,
but
hath
a
body
that
hath
flesh
and
bones
:
And
these
infallible
proofs
are
given
us
,
that
we
may
know
and
be
assured
,
That
Jesus
is
the
Christ
,
the
Son
of
God
,
and
that
believing
in
him
we
may
have
life
through
his
name

And
of
this
the

are

,
and
have
testified
,
That
he
is
the
first
born
from
the
dead
,
brought
forth
out
of
the
heart
,
or

,

hath
God
highly
exalted

given
him
(
who
so
humbled
himself

And
it
is
needful
and
good
for
us
to
be
rooted
and
grounded
in
the
hearty
perswasion

belief
hereof
,
that
we
may
be
saved
,
and
preserved
from
those
evil
and
Antichristian
Spirits
that
say
,
There
is
no
resurrection
of
the
dead
,
and
so
by
consequence
,
that
Christ
is
not
raised
again
,
and
then
we
are
yet
in
our
sins
,
and
the

are
found
false
Witnesses
of
God

faith
is
vain
,

who
are
fallen
asleep

is
risen

that

In
the
next
place
let
us
consider
what
is
imported
to
us
in
the
end
,
why
he
counselleth
this
Angel
to
buy
,
which
is
also
a
powerful
Motive
and
Argument
used
to
move
us
,
to
have
such
an
high
estimate
of
this
Gold
,
as
to
buy
it
at
any
rate
:
[
That
thou
mayst
be
rich
]
To
which
I
shall
speak
more
briefly
;
because
what
is
intimated
herein
,
hath
been
noted
formerly
.
In
this
end
then
is
signified
unto
us
.
—
1.
That
those
that
have
not
this
Gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
they
cannot
indeed
be
rich
,
or
inriched
with
the
true
riches
,
but
are
poor
miserable
Creatures
in
the
eyes
of
him
that
judgeth
righteously
,
though
they
have
large
possessions
,
much
Gold
,
and
a
multitude
of
Rubies
:
We
may
apply
that
saying
of
the
Prophet
to
them
;
Surely
these
are
poor
;
—
For
they
know
not
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
nor
the
judgment
of
their
God
.

These
riches
will
not
deliver
from
the
stroke
of

hand
,
or
from
the
Testimonies
of
his
displeasure
:
Will
he
esteem
thy
riches
?
No
,
not

Prov.

They
are
deceitful
riches
,
they
promise
somewhat
,
or
rather
we
promise
to
our selves
much
contentment
and
blessedness
in
the
enjoyment
and
possession
of
them
,
but
they
are
not
,
there
is
no
substantial
and
durable
good
in
them
.
That
rich
man
in
the
Parable
,
whose
ground
brought
forth
plentifully
,
so
as
he
was
careful
and
thoughtful
how
to
dispose
of
his
fruits
,
not
having
room
where
to
bestow
them
;
and
therefore
resolved
to
pull
down
his
Barns
,
and
build
greater
,
and
there
to
dispose
all
his
fruits
,
and
his
goods
;
Yet
be
was
not
rich
towards
(
or
with
)
God
,
Luke
12.
16-21
.
And
so
more
generally
is
it
true
with
respect
to
the
enjoyment
of
these
uncertain
riches
;
though
men
bless
themselves
in
the
possession
of
them
,
and
think
highly
of
themselves
because
of
them
,
and
others
account
them
in
an
happy
and
good
condition
;
yet
if
they
have
no
better
then
these
uncertain
riches
,
if
they
have
not
a
Right
and
Title
to
,
and
Interest
by
saith
in
a
better
,
and
induring
substance
(
which
men
only
can
have
in
having
Christ
)
they
are
in
truth
but
miserable
men
,
piteous
persons
,
objects
of
p●ty
,
however
they
lift
up
themselves
hereby
,
and
are
praised
and
admired
at
,
and
bowed
down
to
by
others
:
And
as
a
man
when
he
awaketh
lightly
esteemeth
,
and
despiseth
his
dream
;
because
he
then
perceiveth
there
was
no
truth
in
it
,
it
was
but
a
dream
,
though
in
his
sleep
he
thought
himself
to
be
in
a
most
desirable
and
blessed
condition
,
he
fancied
himself
to
be
rich
and
full
;
and
needing
nothing
,
but
now
perceiveth
it
is
otherwise
then
he
imagined
;
so
when
the
Lord
awaketh
he
will
despise
their
Image
;
namely
,
their
prosperity
in
this
World
,
and
those
worldly
riches
,
which
are
called
an
Image
,
either
because
men
bowe●own
themselves
to
them
,
and
worship
them
,
and
trust
in
them
;
or
also
and
rather
in
that
place
,
because
they
are
not
,
they
have
but
the
likeness
of
true
riches
,
and
are
no
more
the
true
riches
then
the
dream
of
happiness
is
happiness
indeed

And

have
our

without
it
,
not
to
labour
to
be
rich
in
those
riches
,

they
are
not
,
and
a
man
that
hath
them
;
yea
,
though
he
had
all
the
riches
of
the
World
,
is
notwithstanding
that

And
it
sheweth
us
how
lightly
God
esteemeth
these
riches
,
in
that
he
dispenseth
them
to
the
men
of
the
World
,
and
counteth
them
but
poor
ones
that
have
never
such
an
abundance
of
them
,
and
it
is
powerful
to
admonish
them
that
have
them
not
to
trust
in
these
things
;
for
they
will
but
deceive
them
when
they
are
in

need

they
will
then
,

before
,
certainly
make
themselves
wings
,
and
flee
away
;
nor
lift
up
themselves
above
others
,
because
they
are
herein
preferred
before
them
;
for
they
are
in
truth
as
miserable
as
the
poorest
man
in
the
world
,
notwithstanding
these
riches
;
for
this
is

the
wealth
of

Yea
,
herein
they
are
in

those
that

in
that
through
their
idolatrous
esteem
hereof
,
and
trusting
herein
,
they
are
hindred
from
seeking
after
the
true
riches

as
is

Saviour
to

Verily
I
say
unto
you

that
a

shall
hardly
enter

:
Again
I
say
unto
you
,
it
is
easier
for
a
Camel
to
go
through
the
eye

then
for
a
rich

to
enter
into
the
kingdom

injoyment
whereof

men
think
themselves

As
the

rich

yet
if

he
is

in

for
the
wisdom
of

What
a

us

is
this

to
hearken
unto

come
to
Christ
,
to
seek
him
till
we
find
him
,
which
we
shall
do
in
seeking
him
in
his
way
?
for
that
good
name
of
his
is
rather
to
be
sought
after
,
and
chosen
,
then
great
riches
,
and
his
loving
kindness
rather
then
silver
and
gold
.

How
much
better
is
it
to
get

to
get

is
rather
to
be
chosen
then
choice
silver
.
Prov.

Hence
when
the
holy
Ghost
saith
,
the
fruit
of
wisdom
is
better
then
gold
,
yea
then
much
fine
gold
;
he
afterwards
saith

Now
therefore
hearken
unto
me

O
ye
children

Aswell
as
also
it
is
useful
to
admonish
them
that
have
those
riches
here
below
not
to
despise
the
poor
of
this
world
that
are
in
Christ
,
and
walk
after
the
spirit
,
for
they
are
truly
rich
:
So
much
the
Apostle
James
saith
to
them
who
did
despise
the
poor
,
and
lightly
esteem
them
:
Hearken
my
beloved
brethren
,
hath
not
God
chosen
the
poor
of
this
world
,
rich
in
faith
,
and
heirs
of
the
kingdom
which
he
hath
promised
to
them

induring
substance

better

how
poor
soever

they
have
a
treasure

not

called

This
consideration
the

who
was
dead

alive

proposeth

setteth
before

And
the
mindfulness
hereof
is
powerful
to
preserve
us
from
immoderate
sorrow
;
and
they
who
do
consider
it
in
the
greatest
necessity
are
kept
from
fainting
;
While
they
look
not
at
the
things
that
are
seen
,
but
at
the
things
not
seen
;
for
the
things
that
are
seen
(
both
the
good

the
evil
)
are
temporal
;
but
the
things
that
are

is

abasement

humbling
of

even
the
death
of

Cross
,
may
be
useful
to
us

to
incourage

move
us
to
come
with
boldness
to
his

it
is
a
Throne

erected

for
the

In
lowliness
of
mind
,
saith
he
,
let
each
esteem
other
better
then
himself
;
namely
,
let
him
think
and
judge
that
another
is
rather
to
be
eased
,
and
spared
then
himself
:
If
there
be
a
burden
to
be
born
,
or
some
reproach
or
persecution
to
be
indured
,
let
him
rather
bear
,
indure
,
and
undergo
it
,
then
his
brother
should
;
let
him
not
seek
to
deliver
himself
,
and
be
content
that
he
is
free
,
though
it
fall
upon
his
Brother
,
but
rather
choose
to
bear
and
indure
it
himself
,
that
his
brother
may
be
eased
and
freed
;
and
that
this
is
the
meaning
of
the
exhortation
appeareth
by
what
followeth
.
Look
not
every
man
on
his
own
things
,
but
every
man
also
on
the
things
of
others
:
Let
that
mind
be
in
you
,
which
was
also
in
Christ
Jesus
;
who
being
in
the
form
of
God
,
thought
it
no
robbery
to
be
equal
with
God
;
but
made
himself
of
no
reputation
,
—
and
became
obedient
to
death
,
the
death
of
the
Cross
,
not
for
himself
,
but
for
us
,
and
for
our
sakes
;
surely
he
hath
born
our
griefs
,
and
carryed
our
sorrows
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him
;
it
was
our
good
he
designed
,
and
not
his
own
;
and
rather
then
we
should
suffer
the
curse
we
had
deserved
,
he
indured
the
Cross
,
and
suffered
the
curse
,
he
bare
our
sins
in
his
own
body
on
the
Tree
:
How
might
this
move
and
prevail
with
us
,
to
bear
one
anothers
burdens
,
and
so
fulfil
the
law
of
Christ
.
Gal.

Herein
perceive
we
the
love
of
God
,
that
he
laid
down
his
life
for
us
,
and
we
ought
to
lay
down
our
lives
for
the
Brethren
,
even
in
the
room
and
stead
of
them
,
and
for
their
good
:
But
who
so
hath
the
worlds
good
,
and
seeth
his
brother
have
need
,
and
shutteth
his
bowels
from
him
,
how
dwelleth
the
love
of
God
in
him
?
My
Brethren
let
us
not
love
in
word
,
neither
in
Tongue
,
but
in
deed
,
and
in
truth

make

ingaging

alluring

love
riches

set
upon
that
,
as
a
most
desirable

delightful

desirable
thing

which
is
very
pleasant
to
behold
;
he
knoweth
we
would
fain
be
rich
,

our
wisdom
moveth

leadeth
us
to
desire
so
to
be

to
labour

us
to
buy

he
thus
representeth
himself
to

that
we
might
receive
his
heavenly
,

advantagious
counsel
,

open
unto

give
entertainment
unto

so
when
the
Spirit
of
errour

useth
many
alluring
Arguments
to
perswade
men
to
listen
unto
,

imbrace
her

solace

choise

seducers

should
set
before

promise
to
you
Gold

Silver
to
corrupt
you

yet
my
instruction
is
better

for
Wisdom
is
better
then
Rubies

and
all
the
things
that
may
be
desired
are
not
to
be
compared
to
it
:
(
yea

also

—
Riches
and
honour
are
with
me
,
yea
durable
riches
;
My
fruit
is
better

to
us
in
his
thus
commending
it
,
and
using
such
Motives
and
Arguments
,
as
are
most
taking
with
,
and
pleasing
to
,
and
desirable
of
us
;
all
which
might
provoke
and
perswade
us
to
buy
this
Gold
.
But
we
shall
adde
no
more
to
this
first
branch
of
the
counsel
.
In
the
the
next
place
we
come
to
the
second
branch
,
viz.
And
White
raiment
,
that
thou
mayst
be
cloathed
,
and
that
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness
do
not
appear
.
—
This
is
a
further
branch
of
the
good
and
wholsom
counsel
given
by
the
Amen
,
the
Faithful
and
true
Witness
the
beginning
of
the
Creation
of
God
,
who
is
the
Counsellor
of
Peace
,
that
giveth
this
good
counsel
:
In
which
consider
we
—
-
1.
The
thing
further
counselled
unto
by
this
excellent
one
,
and
that
is
,
White
raiment
.
—
-
2.
The
end
why
this
Angel
and
Church
is
counselled
to
buy
this
White
raiment
;
That
thou
mayst
be
cloathed
,
and
that
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness
do
not
appear
.
1.
The
thing
which
this
Counsellor
further
counselleth
this
Angel
and
Church
to
buy
,
and
that
is
,
White
raiment
,
or
Wh●te
Garments
.
They
were
not
only
wretched
,
miserable
,
poor
,
but
naked
also
,
and
there
is
that
provided
which
answereth
to
that
part
of
their
need
,
namely
,
a
cloathing
for
their
nakedness
,
a
covering
for
their
shame
,
that
it
might
not
appear
.
That
we
may
have
some
understanding
,
and
usefulness
of
this
branch
of
the
counsel
,
let
us
,
God
assisting
,
inquire
into
,
and
consider
.
—

1.
What
is
this
White
raiment
,
here
counselled
unto
?
-
2.
Why
this
Raiment
is
said
to
be
White
,
and
what
is
imported
therein
?
1.
What
is
this
White
raiment
here
counselled
unto
?
In
general
we
may
say
,
it
is
such
Raiment
as
is
only
to
be
had
,
and
bought
of
this
Wonderful
,
Counsellor
,
the
Amen
,
the
Faithful
and
True
Witness
,
and
not
such
White
raiment
as
is
to
be
bought
here
below
,
by
which
some
persons
distinguish
themselves
from
others
,
and
in
which
they
glory
,
as
if
they
were
,
because
of
this
,
better
then
others
,
and
what
this
white
raiment
here
commended
to
us
,
is
,
we
may
be
helped
to
know
and
understand
by
the
Holy
Spirit
in
the
Scripture
of
Truth
;
namely
,
that
it
is
righteousness
,
even
the
righteousnesses
of
the
Saints
,
according
to
what
we
find
spoken
.
Rev.
19.
8.
It
was
granted
unto
her
(
the
Lambs
Wise
)
that
she
should
be
arrayed
in
fine
linnen
,
clean
and
white
;
For
the
fine
linnen
is
the
righteousness
of
Saints
,
viz.
that
wherewith
they
are
cloathed
and
adorned
:
And
so
frequently
in
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
righteousness
,
is
compared
to
a
Garment
,
cloathing
or
covering
,
as
where
Job
saith
;
I
put
on
righteousness
,
and
it
cloathed
me
.
Job
29.
14.
And
again
,
let
thy
Priests
be
cloathed
with
righteousness
.
Psal.
132.
9.
So
it
is
said
,
The
Lord
hath
covered
me
with
the
robe
of
righteousness
.
Isa.
61.
10.
And
the
joyning
here
Gold
and
Raiment
together
,
aptly
answereth
to
that
motive
and
inducement
given
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
to
perswade
us
to
receive
Wisdoms
instruction
,
viz.
That
with
her
are
durable
riches
(
Gold
tried
in
the
fire
)
and
righteousness
,
(
white
raiment
)
Prov.
8.
18-20
.
So
that
the
White
raiment
here
commended
to
us
,
appeareth
to
be
righteousness
.
But
this
righteousness
,
which
is
the
White
raiment
,
is
not
(
as
after
may
be
shewn
)
our
own
righteousness
according
to
the
law
,
or
any
works
of
righteousness
of
ours
;
For
by
the
deeds
of
the
Law
can
no
flesh
living
be
justified
in
the
sight
of
God
.
Rom.
3.
20.
But
the
White
raiment
here
spoken
of
is
.
—
1.
The
righteousness
of
God
without
the
Law
,
even
that
righteousness
which
Christ
hath
wrought
by
,
and
compleated
in
himself
for
us
,
and
is
become
there-through
;
for
this
is
his
name
,
Jehovah
our
righteousness
.
Jer
23.
6.
And
so
Jesus
Christ
himself
,
through
,
and
by
means
of
that
righteousness
he
hath
wrought
and
compleated
for
us
in
himself
,
is
likened
and
compared
to
a
Garment
,
and
believers
are
instructed
to
put
him
on
,
as
Rom.
13.
14
Put
ye
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
And
as
many
as
are
baptized
into
Christ
,
are
said
to
have
put
on
Christ
.
Gal.
3.
27.
And
it
is
both
taken
for
granted
they
have
put
on
the
new
man
(
Christ
)
and
they
are
instructed
still
and
further
to
put
him
on
.
Col.
3.

Ephes.
4.
23
,
24.
And
they
that
follow
after
righteousness
,
are
such
as
seek
the
Lord
for
it
,
even
the
Lord
of
whom
the
righteousness
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
is
.
Isa.
54.
17.
And
in
whom
it
is
.
Isa.
45.
24.
And
who
is
made
of
God
to
them
righteousness
.
1
Cor.
1.
30.
Yea
,
that
righteousness
which
is
come
by
him
,
it
is
unto
all
that
have
sinned
;
and
upon
all
that
believe
,
as
their
Ornament
and
Raiment
.
Rom.
3.
21-23
.
And
in
the
Prophet
he
is
oftentimes
prophesied
of
under
this
Title
,
or
expression
of
righteousness
;
As
I
bring
near
my
righteousness
,
it
shall
not
be
far
off
.
Isa.
46.
13.
And
my
righteousness
is
near
,
and
near
to
be
revealed
.
Isa.
51.

&
56.

with

,
22.
And
Christ
is
,
and
in
him
appeareth
the
righteousness
of
God
,
and
he
is
become
righteousness
for
us
.
—
1.
In
taking
our
Nature
upon
him
,
and
therein
being
made
sin
and
a
curse
for
us
,
and
so
by
cying
our
death
,
even
tasting
death
by
the
Grace
of
God
for
every
man
;
and
so
this
righteousness
is
without
the
Law
,
without
the
works
or
Sacrifices
thereof
,
though
Christ
did
no
sin
in
the
days
of
his
flesh
,
but
always
did
those
things
that
pleased
the
father
,
and
observed
the
Law
;
yet
that
could
not
be
righteousness
for
us
;
but
to
the
end
he
might
prepare
,
and
become
righteousness
for
us
,
he
must
have
our
sins
laid
upon
him
;
and
therefore
God
made
him
,
who
knew
no
sin
,
to
be
sin
for
us
(
by
imputing
the
trespasses
of
the
World
to
him
)
that
we
might
be
made
the
righteousness
of
God
in
him
.
2
Cor.
5.
19-21
.
As
well
as
also
he
must
dye
our
death
,
according
to
that
,
If
righteousness
come
by
the
Law
,
then
Christ
died
in
vain
.
Gal.
2.
21.
In
which
is
implied
,
that
to
the
end
he
might
bring
in
everlasting
righteousness
,
he
must
dye
,
and
be
cut
off
from
the
Land
of
the
living
.
Dan.

.
righteousness
,
could
not
come
by
the
Law
;
namely
,
by
our
keeping
the
Law
of
ten
words
,
or
by
any
works
of
ours
according
thereto
;
for
by
the
Law
is
the
knowledge
of
sin
in
all
we
do
,
in
our
best
,
as
well
as
in
our
worst
works
:
nay
,
righteousness
could
not
come
by
Christ's
keeping
and
observing
of
it
,
though
he
did
always
keep
it
,
and
never
transgress
it
in
thought
,
word
or
deed
;
for
then
he
died
without
any
just
or
sufficient
cause
,
he
died
in
vain
:
And
again
,
righteousness
could
not
come
by
the
Law
of
the
former
Priesthood
,
or
by
any
gifts
,
Offerings
or
Sacrifices
appointed
by
it
;
for
then
Christ
died
in
vain
:
It
was
not
possible
the
b●ood
of
Bulls
and
Goats
could
take
away-sin
:
Where
ore
when
he
cometh
into
the
World
,
he
saith
,
Sacrifice
and
Offering
thou
wouldest
not
,
but
a
body
hast
thou
prepared
me
:
In
burnt-offerings
and
Sac●ifices
for
sin
thou
hast
had
no
pleasure
,
then
said
I
,
Lo
I
come
to
do
thy
will
O
God
;
namely
,
to
do
that
which
the
Law
could
not
do
,
to
take
away
sin
,
and
bring
in
righteousness
.
Heb.
10.
4-10
.
To
this
end
he
was
the
Lamb
of
God
who
was
slain
for
us
;
he
was
delivered
for
our
offences
.
And
it
was
needful
that
Christ
should
suffer
for
our
sins
,
being
put
to
death
in
the
fl●sh
,
that
this
raiment
of
righteousness
might
be
prepared
for
us
;
for
we
had
sinned
against
God
in
our
fi●st
father
Adam
,
and
were
thereby
become
liable
unto
the
judgment
of
God
,
and
had
deserved
death
in
an
utter
separation
from
the
presence
of
God
;
and
God
,
who
is
a
God
of
truth
,
and
without
iniquity
,
and
to
whom
it
is
impossible
to
lye
,
and
therefore
he
cannot
by
any
means
in
clearing
clear
the
guilty
,
had
said
and
threatned
;
In
the
day
thou
eatest
thereof
,
in
dying
thou
shalt
dye
.
Gen.
2.

And
cursed
be
he
that
confirmeth
not
all
the
words
of
this
Law
to
do
them
;
namely
,
as
is
explicated
by
the
Apostle
,
that
continueth
not
in
all
things
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Law
to
do
them
.
Deut.
27.
26.
Gal.
3.
10.
And
therefore
man
having
sinned
,
and
thereby
fallen
under
curse
and
death
,
unless
the
justice
of
God
be
satisfied
,
and
his
truth
fulfilled
,
there
can
be
no
righteousness
for
us
,
no
accepting
of
us
,
no
forgiveness
of
our
sins
,
nor
mercy
to
be
shewn
to
us
;
For
Heaven
and
Earth
shall
pass
away
,
but
not
one
jot
or
tittle
of
the
Law
shall
pass
till
all
be
fulfilled
,
Mat.

Therefore
to
the
end
that
Christ
might
bring
in
,
and
become
righteousness
for
us
,
God
laid
on
him
the
iniq●ities
of
us
all
,
and
he
was
wounded
for
our
transgressions
,
bruised
for
our
iniquities
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him
;
he
was
made
under
the
Law
for
us
,
that
were
under
it
,
and
God
went
to
Law
with
him
,
and
executed
the
judgement
of
the
World
upon
him
.
Joh.
12.
31.
And
put
him
to
death
in
the
flesh
for
us
;
and
he
by
the
Grace
of
God
tasted
death
for
every
man
;
that
is
to
say
,
he
died
the
death
of
all
,
and
tasted
death
for
every
man
in
the
room
and
stead
of
every
man
;
he
died
that
death
which
was
the
due
desert
of
every
man
,
which
they
should
have
died
,
and
which
was
the
Wages
of
their
sinning
against
God
;
and
this
he
did
for
every
man
,
even
for
the
good
and
behoof
of
every
man
;
So
that
we
thus
judge
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
that
if
one
died
for
all
,
then
were
all
dead
;
all
have
died
that
first
death
,
not
in
their
own
persons
,
but
in
the
last
Adam
,
who
undertook
for
,
and
was
the
representative
of
all
Mankind
.
2.
Cor.
5.
14.
And
his
death
is
as
acceptable
with
the
father
,
and
as
virtuous
and
satisfactory
,
as
if
all
had
died
in
their
own
persons
,
and
infinitely
more
comfortable
to
us
;
for
had
that
death
been
died
by
us
,
we
had
perished
in
it
for
ever
;
But
now
by
his
stripes
we
are
healed
,
in
whom
mercy
and
truth
are
met
together
,
righteousness
and
peace
have
kissed
each
other
.
Isa.
53.
5.
Psal.
85.
10.
He
hath
redeemed
us
from
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
being
made
a
curse
for
us
;
for
it
is
written
,
cursed
is
every
one
that
hangeth
on
a
Tree
,
that
the
blessing
of
Abraham
(
viz.
righteousness
and
life
)
might
be
in
Christ
Jesus
for
the
Nations
.
Gal.
3.
13
,
14.
And
there
was
a
necessity
for
Christ's
so
humbling
himself
,
and
becoming
obedient
to
death
,
even
the
death
of
the
Cross
;
that
righteousness
might
come
by
him
;
both
because
God
is
a
God
of
truth
,
and
his
word
cannot
be
broken
,
and
he
is
infinite
in
holiness
and
purity
,
a
God
of
such
pure
eyes
that
he
cannot
behold
iniquity
,
nor
clear
the
guilty
,
unless
he
take
vengeance
on
our
sins
,
and
until
his
justice
be
satisfied
,
and
truth
fulfilled
;
which
is
all
now
done
in
Christ
,
in
whose
flesh
God
condemned
our
sin
.
Rom.
8.
3.
As
well
as
also
Christ
must
needs
have
suffered
;
because
there
is
no
other
person
or
thing
that
could
redeem
us
:
No
man
could
redeem
his
Brother
,
nor
give
to
God
a
ransom
for
his
Soul
,
the
redemption
of
the
Soul
is
so
precious
:
No
Offering
appointed
by
the
Law
could
purge
away
our
sin
;
God
took
no
pleasure
in
them
to
any
such
end
,
thousands
of
Rammes
,
and
ten
thousand
Rivers
of
Oyl
,
would
not
have
made
our
peace
;
Lebanon
was
not
sufficient
to
burn
,
nor
the
Beasts
thereof
sufficient
for
a
burnt
Offering
:
All
Nations
before
him
are
as
nothing
and
they
are
counted
to
him
less
then
nothing
,
and
vanity
:
Yea
the
Heavens
were
not
clean
in
his
sight
to
this
purpose
,
nor
any
of
the
Heavenly
Spirits
;
but
Christ
must
be
abased
and
dye
or
us
,
or
else
there
could
be
no
righteousness
for
us
.

And
that
it
was
needful
Christ
should
suffer
is
signified
to
us
,
in
that
when
he
was
in
his
great
agony
and
distress
,
and
cried
out
,
Father
,
if
it
be
possible
let
this
Cup
pass
,
&c.
Yet
still
it
was
continued
to
him
,
and
not
removed
from
him
;
doubtless
to
instruct
us
,
that
it
was
impossible
the
Cup
should
pass
from
him
,
and
yet
righteousness
be
prepared
for
us
,
and
mercy
shewn
to
us
.

This
way
then
he
hath
prepared
righteousness
for
us

appeareth
to
be
just
,
and
his
righteousness
is
herein
declared
,
and
shewn
forth

Aswell
as
also
we
may
hereinsee
the
vanity
and
unprofitableness
of
all
our
works
of
righteousness
,
and
of
all
we
could
do
to
prepare

to

And
this
humility
is
the
Spirit
effecting
,
and
bringing
unto
us
,
that
it
might
be
put
on
by
us
in
glorifying
Christ
,
and
commending
unto
us
the
freeness
of
Gods
love
in
him
;
shewing
that
he
hath
prepared
righteousness
for
us
,
and
imputeth
it
to
every
one
that
believeth
freely
,
without
any
works
of
ours
;
Where
is
boasting
then
?
It
is
excluded
;
By
what
Law
?
Of
works
?
Nay
,
but
by
the
Law
of
faith
.
Rom

And
that
he
saved
us
from
our
ignorance
of
him
,
and
enmity
unto
him
,
according
to
the
rule
of
his
mercy
;
and
so
not
by
any
works
of
righteousness
of
ours
:
By
Grace
ye
are
saved
,
through
faith
,
and
that
not
of
your selves
,
it
is
the
gift
of
God
;
not
of
works
,
lest
any
man
should
boast
.
It
is
by
Grace
,
as
the
motive
whereby
he
was
moved
to
bring
salvation
to
us
as
opposed
to
debt
;
he
was
not
indebted
to
us
for
any
goodness
of
ours
;
or
by
any
purpose
,
or
promise
on
his
part
necessitating
him
thereto
;
but
it
was
freely
by
his
Grace
he
saved
us
,
and
by
Grace
as
the
Argument
and
motive
wherewith
he
prevailed
with
us
,
even
through
the
discovery
of
the
freeness
and
greatness
of
his
love
as
commended
to
us
continually
in
this
,
that
while
we
were
yet
sinners
Christ
died
for
us
.

And
so
what
ever
the
believers
have
received
,
it
is
by
Grace
;
for
who
maketh
thee
to
differ
?
and
what
hast
thou
that
thou
didst
not
receive
?
Now
if
thou
didst
receive
it
,
why
dost
thou
glory
as
if
thou
hadst
not
received
it

And
so
his
forgiving
the
sins
of
those
that
come
to
God
by
him
,
and
cleansing
them
from
their
filthiness
,
and
giving
unto
them
a
new
heart
,
and
new
Spirit
,
it
is
not
for
their
sakes
,
but
for
his
own
name
sake
,
and
were
this
known
,
and
taken
notice
of
by
them
,
it
would
cause
them
to
be
ashamed
and
confounded
,
and
powerfully
hide
pride
from
them
,
and
cloth
them
with
humility
.

And
indeed
,
nothing
doth
so
powerfully
work
and
tend
to
the
humbling
of
us
as
his
Grace
;
and
to
this
end
he
giveth
more
Grace
,
Grace
abounding
our
natural
pollution
and
corruption
:
wherefore
he
saith
,
God
resisteth
the
proud
,

giveth
Grace
to
the
humble

and
to
the
effecting
this
humility
in

,
he
proposeth
to
us
,
and
setteth
before
us
the
humility
of
Christ
,
That
we
might
learn
of
him
who
was
lowly
(
not
in
his
outward
carriage
only
,

also
)
in
heart

so
doing

clad
therewith
as
with
a

.
Isa.

This
was
that
which
this
Angel
and
Church
were
much
wanting
in
,
and
destitute
of
;
they
were
Luke-warm
,
and
neither
Cold
nor
Hot
,
as
we
have
seen
before
:
This
was
needful
therefore
to
be
bought
by
them
in
and
with
humility
,
and
unless
that
be
put
on
,
this
cannot
be
had
by
us
;
for
while
men
have
high
thoughts
of
themselves
,
and
their
attainments
,
this
disposeth
them
to
lukewarmness
,
and
hindreth
them
from
being
zealous
.
Now
that
zeal
that
is
to
be
bought
of
Christ
,
it
is
principally
,
Fervency
of
Spirit
in
selling
all
that
we
have
for
Christ
,
that
we
may
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
,
as
before
is
shewn
.
And
fervency
of
Spirit
in
seeking
after
the
knowledg
of
him
,
and
promoting
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
contending
earnestly
and
fervently
for
the
faith
of
the
common
salvation
;
and
not
giving
place
by
subjection
;
no
not
for
an
hour
,
that
the
truth
of
the
Gospel
may
continue
with
us
;
and
so
highly
valuing
and
prizing
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
and
fervently
loving
him
and
it
,
as
not
to
love
our
lives
unto
the
death
for
his
sake
,
and
his
Gospels
,
but
willingly
to
lay
them
down
,
and
lose
them
,
when
called
thereunto
:
The
zeal
of
Gods
house
did
even
eat
up
Christ
;
and
such
zeal
is
to
be
bought
of
him
as
whereby
we
may
not
please
our selves
,
but
deny
our
own
wisdoms
,
wills
,
designs
,
affections
,
enterprizes
,
yea
,
and
forsake
all
that
we
have
,
that
we
may
be
his
Disciples
,
and
follow
him
in
the
regeneration
.
Rom.

Luke
14.
26
,
27-33
.
And
this
zeal
he
is
effecting
in
us
,
especially
and
principally
by
lifting
up
himself
by
his
Spirit
,
and
rendring
himself
more
precious
then
all
the
things
of
this
world
,
then
all
our
injoyments
,
relations
,
attainments
,
lives
,
&c.
that
so
we
might
run
with
the
feet
of
our
Souls
,
even
with
hot
and
fervent
affections
unto
him
,
from
all
other
things
;
Because
of
the
Lord
his
God
,
and
for
the
holy
one
of
Israel
,
who
hath
glorified
him
.
Isa

And
that
we
might
follow
him
whithersoever
he
goeth
.
And
laying
aside
every
weight
,
and
the
sin
which
doth
so
easily
beset
us
,
run
with
patience
(
in
induring
afflictions
,
and
in
a
patient
continuance
in
well-doing
,
and
patiently
waiting
for
the
Lord
)
the
race
set
before
us
,
looking
off
from
all
other
things
unto
Jesus
.

This
is
a

usefull
garment
to
be
put

by
us
in

with
Humility
,
in
putting
on
the
new
man
,
and
in
being
clad
wherewith
,
we
shall
be
Instruments

to
others

provoke
very
many
to

fervently
seek
their
good

And
abundant
need
,
and
great
cause
have
we
now
to
buy
this
of

these
last

times
,
in
which
iniquity
doth
abound

the
love
of

was

And
to
that
end
,
that
this
Angel
and

might
be
zealous
and
repent
(
change
,
and
forsake
their
evil
and
high
thoughts
of
themselves
)
therefore
out
of
love
and
faithfulness
,
the
faithful

did
rebuke

chasten

Bowels
of
mercy
,
kindness
,
&c.
Are
also
to
be
put
on
by
his
Angels
and
Churches
;
not
only
outward
acts
of
mercy
,
but
bowels
of
mercy
,
having
an
inward
affection
to
men
,
pitying
,
and
compassionating
the
ignorant
,
and
those
that
are
out
of
the
way

and
being
kind
also
,
in
heartily
desiring
the
good
of
them

that
they
may

And
these
garments
aptly
follow
,

are
joyned
with
zeal
;
for
when
the
love
,
and
loveliness
of
Christ
is
so
known
,
believed
,
and
considered
by
us
,
as
to
inflame
our
hearts
with
love
to
him
,
together
herewith
also
his
love
is
so
infused
,
and
diffused
into
the
heart
by
the
holy
Spirit
,
as
to
fill
us
with
love
to
all
,
and
so
with
bowels
of
mercy
,
pity
,
and
compassion
;
and
with
an
hearty
kindness
to
them
,
and
earnest
desire
,
and
indeavour
of
their
good
:
This
filleth
with
bowels
towards
all
,
yearning
toward
them
,
and
breathing
for
their
good
,
that
their
eyes
might
be
opened
,
and
that
they
might
be
turned
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
God
;
the
love
of
Christ
known
and
believed
frameth
,
and
constraineth
hereto
:
And
so
it
frameth
us
to
be
like-minded
unto
Christ
,
and
God
in
him
,
to
be
merciful
as
our
father
which
is
in
Heaven
is
merciful
.

And
especially
his
grace
teacheth
,

in
putting

,
to
put
on
as
the
elect
of
God
holy
,

beloved
,
bowels
of
mercy

kindness
,
&c.
one
to
another
;
exercised
in
a
desire
and
indeavour
of
their
good
especially
,
avoiding
what
is
contrary
to
bowels
of
mercy
,
and
kindness
,
as
judging
one
another
,
condemning
one
another
;
and
in
doing
what
springeth
therefrom
;
as
forbearing
one
another
,
and
forgiving
one
another
,
if
any
have
a
complaint
against
any
,
even
as
Christ
freely
forgave
them
,
that
they
should
do
likewise

despised

laught
at
by

yea

by
many

profess
godliness

yet
)
is
in

price

we
cannot
adorne
our selves
with
this
garment

Brotherly
kindness
hath
for
its
motive

object
somewhat
lovely

in

Charity
is
a
free
manner
of
love

fastening
on
,

flowing
forth
toward
the
party
loved
,
not
because
of
any
worth
,
or
worthiness
in
him
,
yea
notwithstanding
great
unworthiness
,
and
manisold
evils
be
found
in
him

Thus
it
is
in
God
;
God
so
infinitely
loved
,
pityed
,
and
compassionated
the
world
,
that
he
gave
his
onely
begotten
son
.
There
was
nothing
of
worth
or
worthiness
in
the
world
to
move
him
so
to
do
,
for
all
the
world
was
become
guilty
before
God
,
and
subject
to
his
judgment

he
loved
them
,

so
loved
them
as
to
give
his
Son
to
be
the
Saviour
thereof
;
because
he
himself
is
charity
,
the
fountain
and
original
of
love

Thus
also
it
is
in
a
measure
with
those
that
have
known
and
believed
the
love
that
God
hath
towards
the
world
,
and
so
are
born
of
God
:
The
charity
they
are
instructed
to
put
on
,
It
is
such
a
manner
of
love
as
is
towards
another
without
any
goodness

worthiness
in
the
party
loved
;
yea
,
notwithstanding
great
unloveliness
be
found

it
is
begotten

moved

and
exercised
from
an
higher
motive

and
from
a

him

,
from

put
on

cover

And
indeed
in
putting
on
charity
,
we
put
on
all
the
other
garments
before
spoken
of
;
and
therefore
above
all
things
this
is
to
be
put
on
by
us
:
In
putting
this
on
we
shall
put
on
humility
;
for
Charity
vaunteth
not
it self
,
is
not
puffed
up
.
1
Cor.

It
taketh
no
notice
of
its
doing
or
works
,
so
as
to
be
hindred
from
pursuing
the
good
of
another
,
but
it
leadeth
one
to
humble
himself
to
that
end
,
as
it
was
eminently
found
in
Christ
,
such
was
his
Charity
;
as
that
though
he
was
rich
,
for
our
sakes
he
became
poor
:
that
through
his
poverty
we
might
be
inriched
.
2
Cor.

He
humbled
himself
and
became
obedient
to
death
,
&c.
Charity
doth
not
behave
it self
unseemly
,
as
those
that
want
humility
do
,
in
proclaiming
their
own
goodness
,
knowledge
,
&c.
Philip.

In
putting
on
this
we
shall
put
on
zeal
,
and
fervency
in
looking
upon
,
and
indeavouring
the
good
of
others
,
that
God
in
all
things
may
be
glorified
through
Jesus
Christ
,
and
hence
this
is
called
fervent
Charity
.
1
Pet.

And
is
so
fervent
and
hot
as
that
many
waters
cannot
quench
it
,
neither
can
the
flouds
drown
it
;
it
is
even
strong
as
death
.
And
casteth
out
all
fear
that
hath
torment
in
it
.

In

put
on
bowels
of

,
kindness
,
&c.
it
filleth
with
bowels
of
pity
,
and
compassion
towards
others
;
Charity
seeketh
not
her
own
,
but
the
profit
of
others
that
they
may
be
saved
.
Charity
is
kind
.
1

Hence
our
Saviour
first
instructeth
his
Disciples
to
love
,
and
then
to
do
good
,
to
lend
,
to
be
merciful
,
not
to
judge
,
not
to
condemn
,
to
give

&c.
As
signifying
,
love
includeth
,
and
leadeth
to
all
mercy
and
kindness
,
and
acts
of
it
.
Luke

Charity
openeth
the
bowels
of
our
compassion
on
sight
of
the
needs
,
and
necessities
of
others
.
1
Joh.
3.
16-18
.
In
putting
on
Charity
we
put
on
also
meekness
and
gentleness
in
bearing
injuries
,
unkindnesses
,
and
ill
requitals
from
others
,
and
in
being
long-suffering
toward
them
,
and
not
presently
turning
away
from
them
though
they
be
dull
of
hearing
,
unteachable
,
untractable
:
yea
,
though
they
are
froward
,
evil
,
and
incensed
against
us
,
and
are
enemies
to
us
because
we
tell
them
the
truth
,
and
indeavour
their
good
and
profit
.
Charity
suffereth
long
,
and
is
kind
all
the
while
;
it
is
not
easily
provoked
,
thinketh
,
projecteth
,
surmiseth
no
evil
,
it
is
even
blind
,
and
leadeth
those
that
are
filled
with
it
to
demean
themselves
as
blind
ones
.
Who
so
full
of
Charity
as
Christ
?
And
who
(
saith
God
)
is
blind
as
my
servant
,
or
deaf
as
my
messenger
that
I
sent
?
who
is
blind
as
he
that
is
perfect
,
and
blind
as
the
Lords
servant
,
seeing
many
things
,
but
thou
observest
them
not
,
&c.
Isa.

So
also
Charity
beareth
all
things
,
indureth
all
things
,
all
burdens
cast
upon
it
,
and
yet
Charity
never
faileth
.

And
by
the

and
so
by
those

garments
,
are
meant
,
those
more
outward
;
the

of

,
exercised
unto

;
so
receiving

the
Grace
of
God

it
may
be
seen

of

Let
your
light
so
shine
before
men

that
they
seeing
your
good
works
,
may
glorifie
your
father
which
is

which

as

even
good

And
to
that
end
the
Grace
of
God
moveth
,
and
instructeth
us
to
cast
off
the
works
of
darkness
,
such
as
rioting
and
drunkenness
,
chambring
and
wantonness
,
strife
and
envying
,
which
are
the
garments
of
darkness
,
proceeding
from
our
ignorance
and
blindness
;
these
are
to
be
cast
off
as
an
unclean
,
filthy
and
dishonourable
garment
:
and
to
put
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
in
the
efficacies
of
his
righteousness
believed
.
Rom.

And
so
we
are
instructed
to
put
off
concerning
the
former
conversation
the
old
man
,
which
is
corrupt
according
to
the
deceitful
lusts
,
viz.
to
put
off
,
and
put
away
lying
,
anger
,
wrath
,
malice
,
blasphemy
,
filthy
communication
,
stealing
,
&c.
and
to
beclothed
outwardly
with
love
,
peace
,
humility
,
mercy
,
temperance
,
sobriety
;
and
to
have
our
speech
always
with
Grace
,
seasoned
with
Salt
,
both
which
,
namely
,
good
words
and
works
,
tend
to
adorning
the
Doctrine
of
God
our
Saviour
in
all
things

And
so
by
this
White
raiment
is
meant
,
the
righteousness
which
Christ
hath
wrought
and
compleated
for
all
without
them
,
and
which
he
is
become
through
and
by
means
of
his
personal

sufferings
,
and
the
fruits
thereof
,
both
those
more
inward

outward

Why
this
raiment
is
said
to
be
White
,
and
what
is
imported
therein
?
1.
In
general
we
may
say
,
in
this
expression
there
is
allusion
and
reference
unto
the
Garments
that
the
Priests
and
Levites
did
wear
,
and
were
clothed
with
,
and
in
which
they
did
then
minister
;
which
Moses
,
the
Mediator
of
that
old
Testament
or
Covenant
,
was
appointed
to
make
,
or
cause
to
be
made
.

So
it
is

,
the

,
when
they
ministred
,
were
arayed
in
white
linen
.
2
Chron.

And
now
the
Priesthood
being
changed
,
there
is
made
of
necessity
a
change
also
of
the
Law
.
Heb.

We
have
an
High
priest
after
a
more
excellent
order
then
was
Aaron's
,
even
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
;
and
he
is
King
of
righteousness
,
who
hath
brought
in
an
everlasting
righteousness
,
and
who
is
clothed
therewith
as
with
a
robe
.

saw

That
certain
(

man
,
clohed
in

in

And
he
is
girt
about

with
a
Golden

.
Righteousness
is
the
Girdle
of
his
Loyns
,
and
Faithfulness
the
Girdle
of
his
Reins
.
Rev.
1.
13.
with
Isa.

He
is
a
more
excellent
High-priest
then
any
of
the
former
,
and
answerably
his
raiment
is
more
excellent
then
theirs
.
Aaron
had
on
,
when
he
ministred
the
Linen
Coat
,
Linen
Breeches
,
Linen
Girdle
,
and
Linen
Mitre
,
outward

,
white
Raiment
;
but
he
hath
put
on
righteousness
as
his
Garment
,
Girdle
,
Breast-Plate
,
&c.
And
all
those
that
are
born
of
,
and
come
unto
him
,
are
made
Priests
,
be
they
Jew
or
Gentile
,
wise
or
unwise
,
male
or
female
,
bond
or
free
.
They
are
a
Spiritual
Priest-hood
,
to
minister
unto
him
,
as
all
the
males
that
were
born
of
Aaron
in
former
times
were
Priests
;
so
now
Christ
is
actually
in
our
nature
glorified
,
and
become
the
father
and
begetter
of
Priests
by
a
birth
from
above
,
and
no
difference
here
between
male
and
female
;
for
they
are
all
one
in
Christ
.
Gal.

This
priviledge
of
being
Priests
is
not
confined
or
limited
to
a
mid-order
of
outward
Officers
,
between
and
distinct
from
Bishops
or
Elders
,
and
Deacons
;
for
there
is
no
such
order
mentioned
in
the
writings
of
the
Apostles
;
nor
is
it
limited
to
any
outward
Church-chosen
Officers
whatsoever
:
Nay
,
men
are
so
far
from
being
the
only
Priests
because
chosen
by
the
professed
Church
,
that
they
are
not
therefore
Priests
at
all
.
But
all
those
that
are
born
of
Christ
the
Everlasting
father
,
and
begetter
of
Priests
,
whether
in
,
〈◊〉
or
out
of
outward
Office
in
the
Church
,
are
an
Holy
Nation
,
and
Gods

Yea
,
though
those
that
were
in
former
times
born
of
Aaron
,
and
were
of
the
Tribe
of
Levi
,
were
outward
and
bodily
Priests
to
offer
bodily
Sacrifices
,
in
which
they
were
Types
of
Christ
,
and
their
Sacrifices
,
of
his
;
Yet
all
Israel
might
then
in
obeying
his
voice
have
been
Spiritual
Priests
,
according
to
that
.
Exod.

The
Lord
said
to
Moses
,
Thus
shalt
thou
say
to
the
house
of
Jacob
,
and
tell
the
Children
of
Israel
(
and
not
of
Levi
and
Aaron
only
)
You
have
seen
what
I
did
to
the
Egyptians
,
&c.
Now
therefore
if
ye
will
obey
my
voice
indeed
,
and
keep
my
Covenant
,
then
ye
shall
be
a
peculiar
Treasure
unto
me
above
all
people
;
for
all
the
Earth
is
mine
:
And
ye
shall
be
unto
me
a
Kingdom
of
Priests
,
and
an
Holy
Nation
:
These
are
the
Words
which
thou
shalt
speak
unto
unto
the
Children
of
Israel
.
And
now
,
all
that
come
unto
Christ
the
living
Stone
,
disallowed
indeed
of
men
,
yea
,
of
the
builders
also
,
but
chosen
of
God
and
precious
,
they
also
as
lively
Stones
are
built
up
a
Spiritual
house
,
an
Holy
Priesthood
.

And
there
are
none
else
that
are
Priests
of
Gods
owning
,
and
approbation
,
though
there
are
many
others
that
are
called
so
;
but
all
these
,
whether
male
or
female
in
the
flesh
,
that
so
hear
and
learn
of
the
father
as
to
come
unto
Christ
,
are
joyned
unto
the
Lord
,
and
so
are
Spiritual
Levites
,
and
made
one
Spirit
with
him
,
and
partake
of
his
Spiritual
Blessings
by
faith
,
and
in
a
first-fruits
of
the
Spirit
,
according
to
their
needs
and
capacities
,
and
they
are
Priests
:
And
that
they
may
minister
unto
him
and
before
men
,
he
washeth
them
in
his
own
Blood
.
Thus
in
our
Types
that
the
Priests
might
minister
unto
the
Lord
,
they
were
to
be
washed
.
Exod.

And
when
they
came
into
the
Tabernable
,
or
unto
the
Altar
,
they
were
always
to
wash
.
Exod
30.
17-22

And
therefore
the
Laver
was
set
between
the
Tent
of
the
Congregation
,
and
the
Altar
,
that
they
might
wash
before
they
came
to
the
Altar
.

So
Christ
who
is
the
Laver
and
Fountain
of
living
Waters
through
his
Blood
,
washeth
those
that
come
to
,
and
believe
on
him
continually
,
even
the
weakest
as
well
as
the
strongest
.
He
forgiveth
their
iniquities
even
of
the
little
Children
also
,
and
they
receive
the
remission
of
them
through
the
opening
of
his
name
.

Hearts
from

from
dead

,
and
their
Bodies
with
pure
Water
.
He
gave
himself
for
his
Church
,
that
he
might
sanctifie
and
cleanse
it
with
the
washing
of
Water
by
the
Word

it

should

and
the

,
they
have
those
Garments
,
as
is
before
shewn
,
and
are
therein
in
some
measure
like
to
Angels
,
meetly
apparalled
to
carry

More
particularly
this
Raiment
is
said
to
be
White
,
to
note
the
purity
of
it
;
So
those
White
Garments
of
the
Priests
in
former
times
are
said
to
be
holy
.
Thus
is
it
is
said
,
Aaron
shall
put
on
the
holy
linen
Coat
,
and
he
shall
have
the
linen
Breeches
upon
his
flesh
,
and
shall
be
girded
with

,

These
are
the
holy
Garments
.

that
whiteness

cleanness

purity
,
do
meet
together
here
.

And
so
this
White
Raiment
is
holy
;
the
Priests
in
former
times
were
so
legally
and
typically
,
but
this
is
so
in
truth
;
they
were
clothed
in
white
linen
,
but
Christs
Angels
and
Priests
that
minister
unto
him
are
cloathed
with
righteousness
.
Holiness
becometh
his
house
for
ever
.
Psal.

The
righteousness
of

There
is
no

in
this
righteousness
of
his
;
't
is
called
the
righteousness
of
God
without
the
Law
,
which
he
hath
prepared
and
accepted
;
and
it
must
therefore
necessarily
be
pure
and
spotless
.
For
he
is
a
God
of
purer
eyes
,
then
to
behold
evil
.

And
the
fruits
of
this
righteousness
as
produced
by
Christ
are
holy
and
pure
;
and
though
as
put
on
,
and
worn
by
us
there
are
mixtures
cleaving
to
them
,
yet
Christ
is
daily
cleansing
them
,
and
making
them
acceptable
and
welpleasing
to
God
.

Himself
answereth
,
These
be
they
which
came
out
of
great
tribulation
,
and
have
washed
their
Robes
,
and
made
them
White
in

And
indeed
this
is
white
raiment
,
the
purity
and
whiteness
whereof
is
inward
as
well
as
outward
;
it
is
white
throughly
,
as
in
white
linen
,
it
is
sincerely
pure
,
and
this
is
compleatly
true
of
the
righteousness
of
God
without
the
Law
,
which
Christ
hath
brought
in
for
us
without
us
,
and
imputeth
to
him
,
that
believeth
in
him
,
and
in
a
measure
true
of
the
fruits
of
righteousness
;
those
Garments
are
entirely
pure
and
white
,
and
not
like
those
things
which
are
so
outwardly
only
,
but
inwardly
are
black
and
uncomely
,
yea
loathsom
and
abominable
some
of
them
:
The
Apostle
calleth
Ananias
the
High-priest
,
whited
Wall
,
he
sAt
to
judge
him
according
to
the
Law
,
and
appeared
righteous
,
when
as
he
was
indeed
and
truly
inwardly
unrighteous
.
Acts

Our
Saviour
saith
of

Scribes

,
that
they
were
like
unto
whited
Sepulchres
,
which
indeed
appear
beautiful
outward
,
but
are
within
full
of
dead
mens
bones
,
and
of
all
uncleanness
;
even
so
they
also
appeared
righteous
unto
men
,
but
within
they
were
full
of
hypocrisie
and
iniquity
.

they

not
on

is

Such
as
being
bought
by
his
Angels
and
Churches
,
and
put
on
,
and
found
in
,
is
powerful
to
give
light
to
such
as
have
their
understandings
darkened
;
and
to
discover
and
Cure
their
errours
and
mistakes
,
and
so
tendeth
to
the
profit
and
benefit
of
those
that
are
without
,
to
open
their
eyes
,
and
Cure
their
ignorant
thoughts
and
imaginations
concerning
the
disciples
of
Christ
,
and
the
Gospel
professed
by
them
.
While
men
see
them
cloathed
with
,
and
appear
before
God
onely
in
the
righteousness
of
another
,
even
of
Christ
,
who
was
delivered
for
our
offences
,
and
raised
again
for
our
justification
;
it
preserveth
them
from
having
idolatrous
esteems
of
them
,
and
worshipping
them
;
for
herein
they
may
see
that
they
are
sinners
in
themselves
,
and
men
of
like
passions
with
others
,
and
that
they
could
not
work
righteousness
for
themselves
;
nor
have
they
any
other
righteousness
to
be
cloathed
with
,
and
rejoyce
before
God
in
,
then
that
which
is
manifested
by
the
faith
of
Christ
to
be
for
all
poor
sinners
aswell
as
themselves
.

and
hereby
men
may
be
convinced
that
the
true
and
unfeigned
beelivers
have
nothing
in
themselves
to
glory
in
;
but
in
their
gloryings
they
glory
in
the
Lord
,
where
others
may
glory
with
them
,
and
be
also
incouraged
to
come
unto
Christ
Jesus
for
forgiveness
,
and
righteousness
:
And
while
they
put
on
,
and
are
cloathed
with
the
fruits
of
his
righteousness
,
and
shew
by
a
good
conversation
their
works
with
meekness
of
wisdom
;
it
tendeth
to
stop
the
mouths
of
such
as
are
ready
to
say
,
that
Christ
is
the
minister
of
sin
,
and
his
Gospel
a
〈…〉
Doctrine
,
and
ministry
of
unrighteousness
,
and
giveth
men
incouragement
to
be
licentious
;
for
when
they
see
that
the
Grace
of
God
that
bringeth
salvation
to
all
men
is
so
heartily
received
by
them
,
as
that
thereby
they
deny
ungodliness
and
worldly
lusts
,
and
put
on
bowels
of
mercy
,
kindness
,
humbleness
of
mind
,
meekness
,
long-suffering
,
&c.
and
walk
soberly
,
righteously
,
and
godly
in
this
present
world
;
this
cutteth
off
occasion
from
them
that
desire
occasion
,
and
maketh
them
ashamed
that
falsly
accuse
the
Gospel
,
and
hearty
belivers
;
and
is
a
powerful
means
for
the
winning
them
into
Christ
,
who
will
not
be
won
by
the
word
:
Whereas
on
the
contrary
,
when
those
that
profess
to
be
Christ's
disciples
,
receive
his
grace
in
vain
,
and
walk
dishonestly
,
they
give
occasion
to
the
adversaries
of
the
truth
to
blaspheme
the
name
of
God
,
and
his
Doctrine
:
Hence
the
Apostle
Paul
exhorteth
the
believers
to
do
all
things
,
which
God
in
the
Gospel
is
working
in
them
,
both
to
do
and
to
will
of
good
pleasure
,
without
murmuring
and
disputing
,
that
they
might
●e
blameless
and
harmless
the
Sons
of
God
without
rebuke
,
in
the
midst
of
a
crooked
and
perverse
nation
;
among
whom
shine
ye
as
lights

To
the

purpose
the

beseecheth
the
believers
,
as
strangers
and
pilgrims
,
to
abstain
from
fleshly
lusts
that
war
against
the
Soul
,
and
to
have
their
conversation
honest
among
the
Gentiles
,
that
whereas
they
speak
against
them
as
evil
doers
,
they
may
by
the
good
works
which
they
shall
behold
,
glorifie
God
in
the
day
of

This
Raiment
is
said
to
be
white
,
to
signifie
unto
us
,
that
it
is
raiment
of
praise
and
beauty
,
of
rejoycing
and
gladness
;
it
betokeneth
and
occasioneth
joy
and
rejoycing
,
as
opposed
to
that
clothing
,
and
those
garments
werewith
persons
usually
cover
themselves
when
they
are
in
heaviness
,
affliction
,
and
sadness
,
and
when
they
have
cause
of
sorrow
and
mourning
:
This
appeareth
to
be
the
meaning
of
the
expression
in
Eccles.

Go
thy
way
,
eat
thy
bread
with

and
drink

with
a
merry
heart
,
for
God
hath
already
accepted
thy
work
(
even
those
works
wrought
in
God
,
in
Immanuel
.
Joh.

)
let
thy
Garments
be
always
white
(
as
a
token
of
joy
and
mirth
)
and
let
thine
head
want
no
Oyntment
,
live
joyfully
,
&c.
And
so
on
the
contrary
,
when
men
are
mournful
,
they
walk
in
black
,
as

What
profit
is
it
that
we
have
walked
mournfully
,
or
in
black
?
And
indeed
this
raiment
is
beautiful
and
joyous
,
and
that
which
may
cause
putter
on
and
wearer
of
it
to
rejoyce
at
all
times
,
especially
in
that
plenteousness
of
redemption
in
Christ
through
his
bloud
,
even
the
forgiveness
of
sins
,
and
in
that
everlasting
righteousness
which
he
hath
brought
in
and
compleated
,
and
which
he
giveth
to
the
buyer
;
Yea
,
when
they
are
in
heaviness
through
manifold
temptations
,
yet
believing
what
Christ
hath
done
,
and
is
become
,
they
rejoyce
with
joy
unspeakable
,
and
full
of
glory

the

,
which

is
appointed
to
give
to
them
that
mourn
in

The
beautiful

which
Zion
is
called
upon
to
put
on
,

therefore
to
awake

awake
,
instead
of
those
dirty
,
dusty
dejected
ones
,
wherewith
they
were
clothed
in
times
of
affliction
and
sadness
;
and
in
this
they
may
rejoyce
continually
,
in
that
righteousness
of
Christ
which
shall
never
be
abolished
,
but
shall
remain
for
ever
and
ever
;
and
most
fully
shall
they
do
so
,
when
they
are
made
compleatly
partakers
of
it
.

So
much
is
imported
in
that
vote
and
desire
;
Let
thy
Priests
be
clothed
with
righteousness
(
with
white
ralment
)
and
let
thy
Saints
shout
for
joy
;
that
only
joy
inwardly
,
but
outwardly
also
,
express
and
testifie
it
:
Psal.

9-10
.
So
when
(
in
our
types
)
the
Levites
were
arayed
in
white
linen
,
their
work
was
with
joyfulness
to
praise
and
thank
the
Lord
,
because
he
is
good
,
for
his
mercy
endureth
for

that
lye

We
have
in

place
to
inquire
into
,
and
consider
the
end
why
this
Angel
and
Church
is
counselled
to
buy
this
white
raiment
,
which
is
also
a
Motive
and
Argument
used
to
stir
up
to
fervency
in
buying
,
viz.
[
that
thou
mayst
be
clothed
,
and
that
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness
do
not
appear
]
in
which
end
is
signified
unto
us
.
—
1.
That
those
that
have
not
this
excellent
and
durable
clothing
here
commended
and
counselled
to
,
even
the
righteousness
of
God
by
saith
,
and
the
fruits
thereof
;
those
that
part
not
with
,
and
suffer
not
the
loss
of
all
things
for
the
excellency
of
the
knowledge
of
Christ
,
that
they
may
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
,
they
have
a
shameful
nakedness
upon
them
:
This
is
true
generally
,
as
with
respect
to
all
mankind
,
as
they
are
and
while
they
reman
in
their
natural
estate
and
condition
.
God
did
indeed
at
first
make
man
in
his
Image
,
after
his
likeness
,
and
gave
him
dominion
over
the
works
of
his
hands
,
in
this
lower
part
of
his
Creation
.

;
the
Glory
of
God
was
upon
him
in
that
righteousness
,

purity

innocency

that
was

The
Law
of
God
was
in
his
heart
,
and
there
was
in
him
a
natural
bent
and
inclination
to
love
,
and
live
to
the
Lord
his
God
with
all
his
Heart
,
Soul
,
mind
and
strength
,
and
to
love
his
neighbour
as
himself
And
then
while
they
were
in
honour
,
and
in
this
upright
and
honourable
condition
,
though
they
were
naked
,
as
with
respect
to
any
clothing
,
or
covering
from
without
,
there
was
no
shame
upon
them
,
and
they
were
not
ashamed
.
Gen.
2.
25.
But
Adam
,
in
listening
to
the
temptation
and
lye
of
the
Serpent
,
was
by
him
deceived
;
first
in
the
female
,
and
then
in
the
male
,
and
eating
of
the
forbidden
fruit
,
and
therein
seeking
out
many
inventions
to
better
his
condition
,
and
to
be
as
Gods
,
to
attain
to
an
higher
state
,
and
to
have
a
self-sufficiency
in
himself
,
sinned
against
God
.
And
by
this
one
man
sin
entred
into
the
World
,
and
death
by
sin
,
and
so
death
p●ssed
upon
all
men
,
in
whom
all
have
sinned
.
Rom
,

So
he
brought
shame
upon
himself
,
and
all
his
posterity
;
and
now
he
was
ashamed
and
afraid
,
because
naked
.
Gen.

There
is
now
a
nakedness
upon
mankind
naturally
;
they
are
without
,
and
destitute
of
that
original
clothing
that
was
upon
them
,
that
righteousness
and
uprightness
.
All
have
sinned
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
,
in
which
,
and
unto
which
they
were
Created
.

They
are
destitute
of
the
righteousness
in
which
they
were
Created
,
of
that
love

They
have

they
were
Created

Yea
,
and
they
have
sinned
,
and
are
sinners
;
and
as
they
come
into
the
World
they
are
polluted
and
defiled
:
They
are
conceived
in
sin

shapen
in
iniquity

And
so
they
are
naturally
inclined
to
all
that
is
evil
:
Every
imagination
of

thought
of
mans
heart
being
only
evil

Out
of

of

an
evil

and
these
things
defile
the
man
:
Yea
,
he
is
very
abominable
,
drinking
in
iniquity
like
water
;
even
as
a
thirsty
man
drinketh
in

to
cool
his
thirst

And
when

come
to
act
,
they
do
abominable
works
,
such
as
are
shameful
,

of
which
they
are
ashamed

Aswell
as
also
there
is
the
guilt
of

upon

,
and
they
are
by
nature
obnoxious

of
God

lyable

judgment

And
the
fruits
of
sin
,
in
weakness
,
shame
,
death
,
&c.
A
shameful
nakedness
is
upon
them
in
Soul
and
body
;
from
the
Crown
of
the
head
to
the
sole
of
the
foot
,
there
is
nothing
upon
them
but
filthiness
and
uncleanness
,
sinfulness
and
misery
.
And
this
might
hide
pride
from
us
,
and
take
us
off
from
boasting
in
our
birth
and
parentage
,
or
in
any
work
of
ours
or
in
any
thing
natural
to
us
,
and
help
us
to
cease
from
man
;
for
whereof
is
he
to
be
accounted
?
for
we
are
all
as
an
unclean
thing
,
sinful
shameful
Creatures
.
And
it
may
also
cause
us
to
admire
at
the
riches
of
Gods
Grace
towards
us
,
who
prepared
for
us
such
excellent
raiment
for
the
covering
us
,
when
we
were
in
our
blood
,
and
so
polluted
a
〈…〉
defiled
,
at
so

,
as
by
the
abasement
of
his

Son
,
who
therefore
was
cut
off
,
that
he
might
obtain
justification
and
forgiveness
;
and
bring
in
everlasting
righteousness
.
—
Yea
,
and
they
remain
and
continue
naked
and
destiture
of
all
that
is
good
,
and
lye
open
to
the
storms
of
God's
anger
;
and
their
nakedness
is
more
shameful
,
who
,
after
means
is

,
and

,
love
darknessrather

light
,
and
believe
not
on

;
on
such
the
wrath

God
abideth
,
be
they

The

looked
down
from

children

see
if
there
were
any
that
did
understand

and
seek
God
:
They
are
all
gone
aside

they
are

become
filthy
(
stinking

there
is

that

one

Their
iniquity
is
greater
then
formerly
it
was
,
and
their
shame
more
shameful
,
in
that
there
is
lewdness
found
with
such
in
their
filthiness
;
and
they
refuse
to
be
washed
and
cleansed
,
when
God
is
purging
them
,

causing
the
scum
to
swim
aloft

God
upon
a
new
account
,
though
yet
,
while
it
is
called
to
day
,
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous
is
the
propitiation
and
covering
for
such
like
shameful
evils
,
even
for
the
sins
of
the
whole
world
;
so
taking
away
the
sin
of
the

,
that
judgment
may
not
be
speedily
executed

but
that

may
procure

exercise
further
patience

and
extend

to
open

〈◊〉
the
Lord
depart
from

the

did
shamefully
herein

laid
themselves

the

O

A

Wherefore

We
will
come
no

unto
thee
?
Can
a

forget

or

who
treacherously
departed
from

they
turned
a

Hereby
they

When

from

And

have

with
whom
is
forgiveness

healing

this

raiment
that
we
may
be
clothed
,

that
the
shame
of

appear
not
;
considering
also
(
as
is

signified
to
us
in
the
end
here
proposed
to
move

induce
us
to
buy
)
That

We
cannot
cloth
our selves

nor
cover
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
with
any
garments
of
our
own
making

preparing

Nor
can
we
be
clothed

so
as

appear

which
is

Our

our
shame
from
the
eyes
of
him
with
whom
we
have
to
do
,
unto
whom
all
things
are
naked
(
though
they
may
cover
that
of
the
outward
Man
from
men
)
nor
from
them
who
have
the
eyes
of
their
understandings
opened
in
and
by
the
knowledge

Christ
;
but
still
our
vileness

sinfulness
will
appear

notwithstanding
them

The
most
rich

costly

,
yea
,
all
the
glory
and
splendour
of
the
World
,
will
not
cover
our
filth
and
uncomeliness
,
our
sin
and
misery
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
doth
more
appear
oftentimes
through
,
and
by
means
of
this
outward
clothing
;
and
there
it
may
be
seen
and
read
how
we
glory
and
pride
our selves
in
that
which
was
the
fruit
of
our
sin
:
And
therefore
insobriety
in
apparel
is
signified
to
be
so
far
from
covering
our
sinful
shamefulness
,
as
that
it self
is
shameful
,
and
rendreth
us
more
so
:
As
where
the
Apostle
exhorteth
the
believing
Women
to
adorn
themselves
in
modest
apparel
,
with
shamefastness
and
sobriety
,
not
with
broidered
hair
,
or
gold

or
pearls

costly
aray

As
intimating
,
that
insobriety
in
this
outward
clothing
is
immodest
and
shameful
:
Yea
,
this
doth
greatly
provoke
God
to
wrath
,
especially
when
his
judgments
are
in
the
earth
,
and
God
is
calling
to
weeping
and
to
mourning
.
See
how
on
this
account
God
threatneth
to
deal
with
the
daughters
of
Zion
(
Women
,
it
seemeth
,
being
through
their
weakness
most
insident
to
this
vanity
and
evil
;
and
most
frequently
polluted
herewith
)
Moreover
the
Lord
saith
,
Because
the
daughters
of
Zion
are
haughty
,
and
walk
with
stretched
forth
necks
,
and
wanton
eyes
,
walking
,
and
mincing
as
they
go
,
and
making

the

smite
with
a
scab
the
crown
of
the
head
of
the
daughters
of
Zion

will
make
naked
their
secret

In
that

the
Lord
will
take
away
the
bravery
of
their
tinkling
ornaments
about
their
feet

and
their
cauls

their

sweet

shall
be
stink

The
believers
stand
in
need
of
being
admonished
of
insobriety
in
this
outward
and
bodily
aray
:
And
therefore
the
Holy
Ghost
hath
given
such
like
warnings
by
his
servants
,
that
they
should
not
fashion
themselves
according
to
their
former
lusts
in
their
ignorance

And
that
the
believing
women
should
have
a
chast
conversation
;
and
not
adorne
themselves
with
that
outward
,
of
plaiting
the
hair
,
or
wearing
of
gold
,
or
putting
on
of
apparel
.
1

For
even
believers
themselves
as
men
and
Sons
of
Adam
,
are
apt
to
exceed
in
this
outward
clothing
,
and
to
glory
herein
,
as
if
this
would
hide
their
shame
,
and
beautify
them
:
And
from
their
too
high
esteem
hereof
they
are
ready
to
have
the
faith
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Lord
of
glory
,
with
respect
of
persons
;
to
respect
them
who
have
a
gold
ring
,
and
goodly
apparel
;
and
mean
time
to
despise
such
as
have
vile
raiment
on
them
.

And
are
therefore
admonished
not
to
love
the
pride
of
life
,
in
which
is
included
,
pride
of
Apparel
;
and
not
to
be
conformed
to
this

in
the
customs
and

thereof
;

transformed
by

renewing

MYSTERY
BABYLON
clothed
;
and
would
here
by
insinuate
that
she
is
the
true
Church
of
Christ
;
and
this
is
its
outward
ornament
;
and
hereby
she
deceiveth
many
:
This
woman
is
arayed
in
purple

scarlet
colour
,
and
decked
with
gold
and
precious
stones
:
And
with
this
outwardly
glorious
woman
the
Kings
of
the
earth
have
committed
fornication
;
and
the
inhabiters
of
the
earth
have
been
made
drunk
with
the
wine
of
her
fornication
;
for
indeed
this
is
the
attire
of
an
Harlot
:
But
herewith
she
thinketh
to
cover
the
shame
of
her
nakedness
;
and
her
daughter
harlots
imitate
this
Mother
of
abominations
.
But
this
is
not
the
raiment
that
his
Angels
and
Churches
are
to
be
clothed

covered
with

that
is
to
be
bought
of

Nor

our

made
,
cover
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
from
the
eyes
of
him
before
whom
all
things
are
naked
,
and
opened
:
We
think
,
many
times
,
this
way
to
hide
and
conceal
our
sinfulness
and
vileness
,
as
Adam
did
at
first
:
He
covered
his
transgression
by
hiding
his
iniquity
in
his
bosome
:
Job

So
we
would
hide
and
cover
our
shame
,
or
some
part
of
it
,
by
shameful
coverings
;
and
this
many
ways

As

Sometimes
by
keeping

sinfulness
when
reproved

Sometimes
men
hide
their
sin
and
shame
under
their
tongues
,
when
though
they
say
,
they
have
sinned
,
and
are
sinners
,
because
this
is
generally
acknowledged
,
and
therefore
it
is
no
shame
so
to
confess
;
yet
they
confess
not
their
proper
iniquity
for
which
God
is
rebuking
them
;
or
they
extenuate
and
excuse
it
.
Job

Sometimes
they
seek
to
cover
one
sin
with
another
,
and
add
sin
to
sin
,
that
they
may
cover
their
shame
:
As
sometimes
,
men
seek
to
cover
their
adultery
,

uncleanness
with
murder
,
or
with
some
other
sin
.

to

this

men
have
wherewith
they
think
to
cover
their
other
evils
,
not
from
men
onely
,
but
from
God
also
;
to
which
Satan
is
tempting
men
powerfully
;
and
in
,
and
walking
in
which
they
are
very
like
to
Satan
;
for
he
useth
lying
in
all
his
sinning
at
first
,
and
always
from
the
beginning
:
When
he
speaketh
a
lye
he
speaketh
of
his
own
,
for
he
is
a
liar
and
the
father
of
it

And
great

way
of
lying
,
and
grant
me
thy

Sometimes
men
think
to
cover
their
evils
by
committing
them
in
secret
,
and
in
the
dark
:
The
murderer
in
the
night
is
as
a
Thief
:
The
eye
also
of
the
Adulterer
waiteth
for
the
twilight
,
saying
,
none
eye
shall
see
me
;
and
disguiseth
his
face
:
In
the
dark
they
dig
through
houses
—
they
know
not
the
light
;
for
the
morning
is
to
them
even
as
the
shadow
of
death
;
if
one
know
them
they
are
in
the
terrours
of
the
shadow
of
death
.

Isa.

So
those
that
persecute
and
murder
the
innocent
many
times
do
it
in
the
dark
,
or
in
secret
,
pretending
that
they
are
enemies
to
them
,
not
because
they
worship
God
,
but
because
they
are
deceivers
,
and
malefactours
,

those
that
walk
in

idolatry
act
it
in
the
dark
many
times
.
Ezek.

.
And
generally
those
gross
lusts
and
evils
are
therefore
called
works
of
darkness
,

men
commit
and
serve
them
in
the
dark

And
hereby

no

think

with
hypocrisie

feigning

pretending
themselves
to
be

may

that

authority

evil

Sometimes
,
and
too
frequently
,
men
think
to
hide
their
sin
and
shame
,
by
charging
God
foolishly
therewith
;
Thus
Adam
sought
to
hide
his
iniquity
by
laying
it
secretly
upon
God
himself
,
as
if
he
were
the
cause
of
it
,

And
men
bely
the
holy
one

and
think
this
way
to
cover
their
transgressions

either

—
1.
By
saying
he
is
the
author
of
their
sin
,
and
moveth
them
to
what
is
evil
,
as
too
too
many
do
,
who
say
,
all
is
of
God
,
and
therefore
there
is
no
sin
;
or
that
God
perswadeth
,
and
inclineth
them
to
evil
:
Nay
the
holy
Ghost
seeth
it
needful
to
give
this
warning
to
the
believers
themselves
:
Let
no
man
say
when
he
is
tempted
,
I
am
tempted
of
God
,
for
God
cannot
be
tempted
with
evil
,
neither
tempteth
he
any
man

Oh
what
wickedness
is

our
hearts

Rather
then
we
will
take

to
our selves

and
acknowledge
our
evils
,
we
are
naturally
ready
to
condemn
him
who
is
most
just
,
and
to
impute
evil
to
him
who
is
not
a
God
that
hath
pleasure
in
wickedness

who
is
of
purer
eyes
then

behold
evil

Psal.

Rather
then
cry
guilty

we
would

and
none
is
holy
as
he
,
like
the
Devil
himself
,
who
is
called
,
and
is
the
tempter
,
and
wicked
one
emphatically

Or
,

Men
would
excuse
themselves
,
and
lay
the
fault
upon
God
,
by
saying
,
God
doth
not
seasonably
give
them
grace
;
and
if
God
would
have
given
them
grace
,
they
would
have
done
better
;
like
that
wicked
and
slothful
servant
who
said
,
he
was
an
austere
master
,
reaping
where
he
had
not
sown
,
and
gathering
where
he
had
not
strown

Matt.

So
men
would
wipe
their
own
mouthes

secretly
signify
;
they
could
not
abstain
from
such
,
or
such
evils
,
they
had
no
power
in
themselves
,
and
God
withheld
from
them
his
grace
;
Whereas
indeed
the
grace
of
God
in
due
time
bringeth
salvation
to
all
men
,
in
the
receiving
whereof
they
might
be
kept
from
their
iniquities
;
See
what
the
holy
Ghost
saith
to
such
an
intimately
evil
charge
.

O
thou

the
spirit

Are
these
(
thy
evils

iniquities

his
doings
?
as
intimating
,
they
are
none
of
his
doings

his
spirit
is
not
straitned

he
is
graciously
and
seasonably
calling
unto
them

O
do
not
this
abominable
thing
which
I
hate

And
while
he
calleth

stretcheth

his
hand

men
might
lay
hold
on

strength

be
preserved
from
that
which
causeth
shame

The
spirit
indeed
which
dwelleth
in
us
lusteth
to
envy
,
and
to
all
that
is
evil
;
but
he
giveth
more
grace
;
grace
abounding
our
natural
corruption
,
while
he
calleth
to
us
;
wherefore
he
saith
,
God
resisteth
the
proud
,
that
receive
not

or
receive
not
to
purpose
,
his
grace
,

giveth
grace
continually

abundantly

Oh!
that
we
may
all
so
consider
the
unprofitableness
and
insufficiency
of
all
our
own
works
of
righteousness
,
and
of
our
coverings
of
our selves
,
that
we
may
cease
from
confiding
and
trusting
in
them
,
and
may
seek
the
Lord
,
and
in
him
seek
righteousness
,
in
whom
God
hath
prepared
it
for
us
,
and
for
all
:
And
this
leadeth
us
to
the
next
thing
,
viz.

This
white
raiment
,
that
is
to
be
bought
of
this
gracious
and
faithful
Counsellor
,
is
that
wherewith
we
may
be
clothed
,
so
as
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
may
not
appear
.
We
cannot
cloth
our selves
,
nor
cover
the
shame
of
our
own
nakedness
,
as
is
before
said
:
But
there
is
excellent
raiment
prepared
for
all
men
by
him
,
who
gave
himself
an
Offering
,
and
a
Sacrifice
for
a
sweet
smelling
Savour
to
God
.
And
so
much
might
be
typically
signified
by
Gods
covering
and
clothing
our
first
parents
when
they
had
sinned
,
and
thought
to
have
hid
their
shame
with
fig-leaves
;
like
whereto
are
all
our
coverings
,
and
hidings
of
our
shameful
nakedness
.
Gen.

The
Lord
God
,
after
he
,
in
denouncing
the
curse
on
the
Serpent
,
had
promised
,
That
the
seed
of
the
woman
should
break
the
head
of
the
Serpent
.
And
after
Adam
in
closing
therewith
,
and
belief
thereof
,
called
his
wives
name
Evah
,
clothed
the
man
and
the
woman
with
Coats
of
Skins
;
probably
with
the
Skins
of
the
beasts
that
were
offered
by
faith
in
Sacrifice
,
to
type
out
,
and
point
forth
,
that
our
clothing
and
covering
must
be
prepared
and
made
by
the
Lamb
of
God
,
which
he
prepared
himself
for
a
Burnt-Offering
,
and
by
his
Sacrifice
who
is
sacrificed
for
us
,
and
thereby
indeed
is
white
raiment
prepared
for
us
,
and
for
all
,
as
is
before
shewn
.

Now
then
in
this
instruction
contained
in
the
end
proposed
to
move
us
to
buy
this
White
raiment
,
viz.
[
that
thou
mayst
be
clothed
,
and
that
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness
do
not
appear
]
is
further
signified
unto
us
.
—
1.
That
this
raiment
is
proper
and
sufficient
to
cover
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
so
as
it
appear
not
;
namely
,
the
righteousness
which
Christ
hath
brought
in
,
and
compleated
through
his
personal
abasement
and
sufferings
,
who
in
the
virtue
thereof
is
raised
again
;
and
which
he
himself
is
become
,
and
it
doth
cover
their
shame
that
have
it
,
and
put
it
on
,
even
from
the
face
of
the
Lord
,
viz.
there
is
contained
herein
the
forgiveness
of
our
sins
,
and
blotting
them
out
,
so
as
they
shall
no
longer
be
remembred
,
or
retained
in
Heaven
,
and
giving
unto
,
and
making
them
partakers
of
forgiveness
by
faith
,
that
believe
on
Christ
;
for
this
is
the
blessedness
the
believers
on
his
name
do
receive
.
To
Christ
give
all
the
Prophets
witness
,
as
the
sum
and
end
of
their
Testimony
,
that
through
his
name
whosoever
believeth
in
him
,
shall
receive
the
forgiveness
of
their
sins
.
Acts.
10.
43.
And
by
him
all
that
believe
are
justified
from
all
things
from
which
they
could
not
be
justified
by
the
Law
of
Moses
.
Acts
13.
39.
If
we
(
in
belief
of
his
goodness
,
and
of
the
truth
of
his
Testimony
in
reproving
,
and
discovering
our
vileness
and
sinfulness
)
confess
our
sins
,
he
is
faithful
and
just
to
forgive
us
our
sins
,
and
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanseth
us
from
all
unrighteousness
.
1
Joh.
1.
7-9
.
And
this
forgiveness
of
sins
,
as
it
is
an
imputing
righteousness
without
works
,
so
it
is
expressed
by
covering
sin
;
even
as
David
describeth
the
blessedness
of
the
man
to
whom
the
Lord
imputeth
righteousness
without
works
,
saying
,
Blessed
are
they
whose
iniquities
are
forgiven
,
and
whose
sins
are
covered
.
Rom.
4.
6
,
7
,
8.
with
Psal.
32.
1
,
2-5
.
To
the
same
purpose
also
the
Psalmist
speaketh
,
when
he
acknowledgeth
to
the
praise
of
Gods
Grace
,
and
as
a
ground
of
incouragement
to
desire
his
further
mercy
.
Thou
hast
forgiven
the
iniquity
of
thy
people
,
thou
hast
covered
all
their
sins
.
Psal.
25.
2.
And
indeed
the
righteousness
of
Christ
,
which
he
hath
brought
in
and
is
become
,
is
to
this
end
a
compleat
clothing
and
covering
for
all
our
shame
;
inasmuch
as
there
is
contained
therein
both
an
acquittance
and
justification
from
the
guilt
of
our
first
sin
and
sinfulness
;
aswell
as
also
plenteous
redemption
,
even
the
forgiveness
of
mens
following
and
personal
sins
,
in
which
they
sin
after
the
likeness
and
similitude
of
Adams
transgression
;
yea
,
and
in
him
there
is
perfect
innocency
,
integrity
,
immortality
,
and
eternal
life
;
which
the
believer
is
now
receiving
by
faith
,
and
in
some
first-fruits
of
the
Spirit
;
but
the
adoption
,
the
redemption
of
the
body
,
and
the
Harvest
of
the
Spirit
,
is
to
be
waited
for
till
the
Lord
himself
shall
descend
from
Heaven
;
but
even
now
;
those
that
with
the
heart
believe
in
him
;
They
are
made
by
faith
the
righteousness
of
God
in
Christ
:
Christ
is
made
of
God
to
them
righteousness
;
their
sins
are
forgiven
them
for
his
name
sake
;
he
loveth
them
and
washeth
them
therefrom
in
his
own
Blood
;
and
they
are
made
accepted
in
the
beloved
:
And
he
in
the
body
of
his
flesh
through
death
doth
and
will
present
them
holy
,
unblameable
and
unrebukeable
in
his
sight
,
they
continuing
in
the
faith
grounded
and
setled
,
and
not
being
moved
from
the
hope
of
the
Gospel
.
Col.
1.
22
,
23.
Oh
infinite
Grace
of
God
in
Christ
to
sinners
!
Oh
blessed
and
everlasting
righteousness
!
How
might
this
move
his
Angels
and
Churches
to
buy
this
White
raiment
,
this
blessed
covering
here
commended
to
us
,
and
set
before
us
.
Isa.
61.
10.
And
the
fruits
of
this
righteousness
believed
,
do
cover
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
from
men
:
Hence
that
,
Behold
,
I
come
as
a
Thief
,
blessed
is
he
that
watcheth
and
keepeth
his
Garments
,
lest
he
walk
naked
,
and
they
see
his
shame
.

This
White
raiment
is
that
also
wherewith
we
may
be
clothed
;
that
is
to
say
,
covered
from
the
Rain
,
and
Storm
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
from
the
evil
of
all
adversities
and
afflictions
.
This
is
one
use
of
raiment
,
as
to
cover
our
nakedness
,
so
also
to
be
a
covering
from
the
Storms
,
and
Cold
that
otherwise
would
annoy
and
hurt
us
,
so
it
is
here
;
Jesus
Christ
,
who
of
God
is
made
to
the
believers
righteousness
,
and
who
is
become
White
raiment
,
doth
hide
and
secure
them
from
the
evil
of
all
judgments
,
wrath
,
and
afflictions
,
&c.
So
when
the
Psalmist
had
been
saying
.
Thou
hast
covered
all
the
sins
of
thy
people
;
he
addeth
.
Thou
hast
taken
away
all
thy
wrath
.
Psal.
85.
2
,
3.
Riches
profit
not
in
a
day
of
wrath
,
but
righteousness
delivereth
from
death
.
The
righteousness
of
the
upright
shall
deliver
them
;
but
the
wicked
shall
fall
by
his
own
wickedness
.
Prov.

4-6-8
,
The
Branch
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
fruit
of
the
Earth
,
is
a
place
of
refuge
,
and
a
Covert
from
Storm
,
and
from
Rain
.
Isa.

This
man
is
an
hiding
place
from
the
wind
,
and
a
Covert
from
the
Storm
,
a
shadow
from
the
heat
,
when
the
blast
of
the
terrible
ones
is
as
a
Storm
against
the
Wall
;
and
shall
appear
gloriously
so
to
be
when
he
shall
reign
in
righteousness
.

Being
justified
by
Faith
,
we
have
,
by
faith
,
Peace
with
God
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
even
deliverance
from
his
wrath
,
and
from
the
fears
and
terrours
thereof
.
Rom.

Oh
blessed
priviledge
!
the
wrath
of
God
abideth
not
on
him
,
who
with
the
heart
believeth
unto
righteousness
,
so
as
to
harm
or
hurt
him
;
but
this
White
raiment
covereth
,
and
clotheth
him
,
so
that
when
Gods
judgments
are
poured
forth
,
and
they
occasion
trembling
to
the
outward
man
:
Yet
he
can
by
Faith
and
in
Spirit
rejoyce
in
the
Lord
,
and
joy
in
the
God
of
his
Salvation
.
Habak.
3.
16-18
.
And
whatever
fatherly
chastisements
God
be
ordering
to
such
an
one
,
yet
it
is
in
love
and
faithfulness
,
and
to
a
gracious
end
,
even
for
his
profit
,
that
he
may
be
made
more
a
partaker
of
his
holiness
.
Heb.
12.
6-11
.
And
such
also
shall
dwell
safely
,
and
shall
be
quiet
from
the
fear
of
all
evil
.
Prov.
1.
33.
Psal.
91.
So
as
when
in
the
World
they
have
tribulation
,
yet
in
Christ
,
who
hath
overcome
the
World
,
they
shall
have
peace
.

On
this
account
Salvation
and
Righteousness
may
be
so
often
put
together
;
as

,
and
Salvation
and

are
put
one
for

;
as
whereas
in
2
Chron.
6.

It
is
thus
voted
and
desired
.
Let
thy
Priests
be
clothed
with
Salvation

thus
rendred

Psal

Let
thy
Priests
be
clothed

And
again
,
in
answer
to
that
Prayer
and
desire
it
is
said
.
I
will
cloth
her
Priests
with
Salvation
.
Ver.

I
say
,
on
this
account
Righteousness
and
Salvation
may
be
so
oft
put
together
,
and
one
put
for
another
,
to
signifie
,
that
this
Raiment
will
save
and
secure
us
,
as
from
our
sins
,
so
from
all
storms
,
tempests
,
rain
,
judgments
,
afflictions
;
&c.
I
mean
,
from
the
evil
of
them
now
,
and
hereafter
fully
and
gloriously
from
them
all
.
Upon
the
wicked
God
shall
rain
snares
,
fire
and
brimstane
,
and
an
horrible
tempest
,
this
the
portion
of
their
Cup
;
but
it
shall
not
be
the
portion
of
them
that
are
clothed
with
this
Raiment
of
righteousness
;
For
the
righteous
Lord
loveth
righteousness
.
Psal.

This
is
armour
on

to
defend
them
from
evil
that
put
it
on

And
such
are
instructed
and
strengthened
not
to
fear
the
reproch
of
men
,
nor
be
afraid
of
their
revilings
;
because
they
shall
perish
,
But
this
righteousness
shall
be
for
ever
,
and
this
Salvation
from
generation
to
generation
:
And
the
work
of
this
righteousess

be
peace

,
and
this
White
raiment
is
not
only
proper
and
effectual
to
save
and
secure
from
Storms
and
Cold
,
but
also
to
warm
and
make
not
lukewarm
ones
,
to
make
them
fervent
in
Spirit
,
in
seeking
and
serving
the
Lord
,
and
to
cause
them
,
forgetting
the
things
that
are
behind
,
and
reaching
forth
to
the
things
that
are
before
to
press
toward
the
mark

the

high
calling

With
this
White
raiment
also
his
Angels

may
be
clothed
,
that
is
to
say
,
Adorned
:
So
Garments
are
used
amongst
men
for
Ornament
;
and
it
is
fully
true
of
this
White
raiment
,
it
is
an
excellent
Ornament
,
and
it
doth
greatly
adorn
and
beautify
those
that
put
it
on
;
those
Garments
are
wonderfully
beautiful
in
themselves
,
and
give
an
Ornament
of
Grace
to
the
head
of
those
that
buy
them
.
Prov.

they
are
accepted

and
delighted
in
by
him

So
the
Church
acknowledgeth
,
That
the
Lord
God
had
covered
her
with
righteousness

himself

this

We

third
thing
here
counselled
unto
,
to

,
To
anoint
our
eyes
with
eye-salve
;
but
to
this
in
due
time
,
God
assisting
—
This
which
hath
been
said
shall
suffice
for
this
first
instruction
;
And
we
now
come
to
speak
to
the
second
—
Viz.
2.
That
Christ
Jesus
,
and
this
preparation
in
him
,
may
be
had
,
and
partaken
of
,
by
those
that
are
miserable
,
and
wretched
,
and
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
,
and
know
it
not
,
while
it
is
called
to
day
;
This
is
imported
to
us
in
this
counsel
,
in
that
he
saith
,
who
is
the
Amen
,
the
faithful
and
true
witness
,
I
Counsel
thee
,
&c.
And
this
will
further
appear
if
we
diligently
mind
and
consider
these
things
.
—
-
1.
That
the
ground
and
cause
of
all
,
was
for
every
sinful
soul
of
mankind
.
-
2.
The
preparation
is
made
ready
in
Christ
,
the
last
Adam
,
for
all
.
-
3.
This
is
discovered
to
all
,
and
especially
where
the
Scriptures
are
vouchsafed
in
due
time
;
and
they
are
invited
.
-
4.
It
may
be
had
freely
,
without
any
worth
or
worthiness
.
1.
The
ground
and
cause
of
all
this
provision
in
Christ
was
for
all
men
,
for
every
sinful
soul
of
mankind
,
That
is
to
say
,
Christ
was
made
of
a
Woman
made
under
the
Law
,
for
the
good
of
all
;
and
to
the
end
he
might
become
a
fountain
for
all
,
according
to
their
needs
and
capacities
.
Gal.

with

He
came
into
the
World
,
and
was
abased
therein
,
and
further
,
that
he
might
become
the
Saviour
of
the
world
.
Joh.

And
this
was
not
whispered
,
or
spoken
in
secret
,
or
in
the
ear
,
by
our
Saviour
;
but
publickly
spoken
,
and
loudly
proclaimed
by
him
,
that
we
might
know
he
was
not
ashamed
of
reporting
this
good
news
;
Jesus
cried
,
and
said
,
—
If
any
man
hear
my
words
,
and
believe
not
,
I
judge
him
not
(
in
this
day
of
grace
and
patience
)
for
I
came
not
to
judge
the
world
but
to
save
the
world
.
Joh.
12.
44-47
.
It
was
in
love
,
in
infinite
pity
and
compassion
to
the
world
of
mankind
,
and
so
to
those
that
are
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
,
that
God
gave
his
only
begotten
Son
;
And
therefore
it
is
thus
expressed
by
his
Son
,
and
that
disciple
whom
Jesus
loved
;
God
so
loved
the
World
,
so
infinitely
,
in
expressibly
,
yea
inconceivably
merciful
,
and
kind
was
he
,
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
Son
.

As
to
say
,
1.
Jesus
Christ
took
upon
him
the
nature
of
all
men
;
and
was
,
as
the
Son
of
Abraham
and
David
,
and
so
the
witness
and
evidence
of
the
truth
and
mercy
of
God
to
them
,
in
whom
God
hath
shewed
himself
to
be
a
God
keeping
covenant
and
mercy
.

himself
for
the
good
of
mankind
,
while
there
was
none
in
a
personal
being
but
one
,
even
the
First
man
,
in
whose
loyns
all
were
,
and
who
was
the
representative
of
all
mankind
,
and
so
in
his
room
became
the
Publick
man
,
for
the
good
,
recovery
,
and
bringing
back
of
mankind
to
God
,
which
had
departed
from
him
in
the
First
man
,
and
so
were
justly
banished
from
him
in
the
righteous
sentence
of
his
Law
.
1

Yea
,
He
the
Second
man
is

whom

was

the
truth
falleth
not
short

the

those
things
most
materially
intended
thereby
,
but
rather
exceedeth
it
,

giveth

to

And
hence
when

was

born
,
the
Angel
saith
,
Behold
I
bring
you
good
tidings
of
great
joy
which
shall
be
to
all
people
;
for
to
you
(
men
,
as
distinguished
from
,
and
opposed
to
us
Angels
.
Heb.
2.
16.
)
is
born
this
day
a
Saviour
,
which
is
Christ
the
Lord
:
And
the
multitude
of
the
heavenly
host
confirm
,
and
set
their
seal
to
the
truth
hereof
,
praising
God
,
and
saying
;
glory
be
to
God
in
the
highest
,
on
earth
peace
,
goodwill
(
not
evil
will
)
towards
men
.
Luk.
2.
10-14
.
Hence
also
he
is
so
frequently
called
;
the
Son
of
Man
,
yea
,
only
so
called
when
one
person
is
spoken
of
(
indeed
when
spoken
to
,
Ezekiel
,
and
Daniel
are
so
called
;
but
he
is
never
so
called
when
spoken
to
,
but
always
when
spoken
off
,
or
speaking
of
himself
.
)
I
say
,
He
is
so
often
called
the
Son
of
Man
,
even
of
that
kind
or
species
of
creatures
;
because
he
partook
of
the
nature
of
man
,
and
undertook
their
cause
,
and
was
the
Heir
of
man's
misery
,
to
the
end
he
might
become
their
Saviour
:
And
by
means
of
the
King
's
making
a
marriage
for
his
only
begotten
Son
,
in
which
our
nature
was
married
to
the
Divine
nature
in
the
person
of
the
word
the
Son
of
God
,
all
things
are
ready
and
prepared
for
all
mankind
:
Which
doth
clearly
intimate
to
us
,
that
he
came
into
the
world
in
a
publick
capacity
and
condition
,
for
the
good
,
and
behoof
of
all
men
.

And
being
made
of
a
woman
,
he
was
therein
,
and
by
the
will
of
God
,
made
under
the
Law
;
and
had
the
guilt
of
our
old
sins
,
the
wages
whereof
was
the
first
death
,
imputed
to
him
,
and
laid
upon
him
:
When
God
was
in
Christ
reconciling
the
world
to
himself
,
he
did
not
impute
their
trespasses
to
them
;
But
he
made
him
,
who
knew
no
sin
,
to
be
sin
for
us
who
knew
it
,
and
were
guilty
of
it
;
and
that
to
a
gracious
end
,
that
we
sinners
might
be
made
the
righteousness
of
God
in
him
.

and
did
bear
in
his
own

to
and
on
the
tree
,
the
sin
of
the
World
;
even
the
guilt
of
the
disobedience
of
our
first
Father
,
in
whom
we
all
sinned
;
and
of
all
the
necessary
branches
thereof
;
God
caused
them
all
to
meet
on
him
,
that
he
might
put
away
,
and
abolish
them
by
the
sacrifice
of
himself

him
into

death
for

offences
;
and
he
by
the
grace
of
God
tasted
death
for
every
one
of
that
nature
,
in
which
he
was
for
a
little

made
inseriour
to
the
Angels

even
for
every
man
without

We
thus
judge
,
saith
the

,
That
if
one
died
for

,
then
were
all
dead
;
and
be
died
for
all
,
even
for
all
that
were
dead
.

And
such
is
the
excellency
and
preciousness
of
his
personal
abasement
and
sufferings
,
sustained
by
him
in
that
body
,
which
the
father
prepared
for
him
,
wherein
he
humbled
himself
,
and
became
obedient
to
death
,
even
the
death
of
the
cross
,
that
he
is
in
the
virtue
thereof
raised
again
from
the
dead
;
and
hath
given
himself
an
offering
,
and
a
sacrifice
for
a
sweet
smelling
savour
to
God
:
All
which
doth
demonstrate
,
and
is
a
fundamental
evidence
,
that
this
preparation
in
Christ
may
be
had
by
such
as
are
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
blind
ones
:
For
if
Christ
,
who
was
delivered
for
our
offences
,
and
died
for
our
sins
;
be
not
raised
again
;
we
are
yet
necessarily
in
our
sins
;
and
preaching
,
faith
,
and
hope
are
in
vain
,
and
to
no
purpose
.

Through
and
by
means
of
his
death
,
in
the
virtue
whereof
he
is
taken
from
prison

,
there
is
in
Christ
a
perfect
and
compleat
provision

mankind
:
There
is
in
him
,
and
he
is
become
unsearchable
riches

And
he
hath
compleated
,
and
brought
in
everlasting
righteousness
,
according
to
that
motive
and
argument
laid
down
,

set
before

begin
at

killed

stoned
them

what
the
Martyr
Stephen
saith
:
Which
of

Prophets
have
not
your
fathers
persecuted
?
And
they
have
slain
them
which
shewed

of

have

;

it
is
contained
in
that
provision
prepared

And
therefore
when

King
demanded
of
the
person
who
was
without
it
,
friend
,
how
camest
thou
in
hither
not
having
a
wedding
garment
?
The
man
was
speechless
,
he
had
nothing
to
say
by
way
of
excuse
for
himself
;
which
he
might
have
had
,
and
needed
not
to
have
been
speechless
,
if
there
had
been
none
prepared
for
him

But
the
invitation
was
,
all
things

righteousness

are
counselled

buy

it

the

,
who
were
zealous
of

,
and
established
a
righteousness
to
themselves
according
thereto
,
attained
not
righteousness
,
because
they
submitted
not

or
humbled
not
themselves
to
accept
of
God's
righteousness
,
which
is
now
manifested
by
the
saith
of

be
far

unto
all

been
known
,
and
owned
of
him
,
as
they
have
been
;
And
as
Moses
lifted
up
the
serpent
in
the
wilderness
,
so
must
the
son
of
man
be
listed
up
,
saith
our
Saviour
.
Joh.

The
Serpent
of
Brass
was
commanded
to
be
lifted
up
,
and
was
set
up
by
God's
appointment
for
the
healing
of
such
as
were
stung
by
the
fiery
serpents
;
because
their
soul
lothed
that
Manna
,
which
at
first
they
admited
at
,
and
was
so
welcome
to
them
,
and
the
sweetness
and
goodness
whereof
they
had
ostentimes
proved
and
tasted
.

Even
so
must
the
son
of
man
be
lifted
up
in
preaching
,
as
one
in
whom
there
is
durable
riches
and
righteousness
,
forgiveness
of
their
sins
,
and
healing
of
their
diseases
,
and
a
covering
for
their
shameful
nakedness
,
who
have
lightly
esteemed
the
rock
of
their
salvation
;
and
of
the
rock
that
begat
them
have
been
unmindful
,
and
forgetful
,
after
they
have
met
with
joy
and
peace
in
believing
.
To
such
may
be
applied
what
Eliphaz
saith
to
Job
:
If
ye
return
(
from
your
wandrings
and
revoltings
)
to
the
Almighty
,
ye
shall
be
built
up
—
yea
,
the
Almighty
shall
be
your
gold
,
and
ye
shall
have
silver
of
strength
;
for
then
shall
ye
have
your
delight
in
the
Almighty
.
Job
22.

.
And
though
such
have
dealt
very
treacherously
,
and
done
very
shamefully
in
forsaking
their
resting
place
,
yet
there
is
forgiveness
of
their
sins
,
and
a
robe
to
cover
the
shame
of
their
nakedness
with
him
.

And
he
is
therefore
exercising
longsuffering
,
and
rebuking
and
chastening
,
and
hedging
up
their
ways
with
thorns
,
that
they
might
not
overtake
their
lovers
,
but
might
be
awakened
to
consider
their
ways
,
and
turn
from
their
evils
unto
him
their
former
Husband
,
that
he
may
forgive
them
,
which
he
will
not
do
,

abide

on
in

called
to

there

forgiveness

with

such
,

their
returning

He

This
provision

by
us

because
we
may
have
it
freely

had
nothing
to
give

valued
with

it

freely

all
was

not
of

we

deserved
nothing
of

Our

,
in

stood

If
any
man
thirst
(

out

necessity

from
a
former
tast

his
graciousness

let
him
come
unto

drink

There
was
that
in
him
prepared
for
any
Thirster
,
that
might
cool
his
thirst
,
refresh
and
comfort
him
;
And
it
might
be
freely
had
by
any
Thirster
;
by
such
an
one
as
had
no
gracious
frames
,
or
qualifications

been
provoked
with
for
their
treacherous
departing

And
this
doth
evidence

that
this
provision
may
be
had
;

is
a
great
consolation
to
the
poor
,
not
only
to
such
as
are
naturally
so
,
but
to
such
as
are
so
in
a
spiritual
consideration
,
to
such
as
have
no
goodness
,
greeness
,
graces
,
who
have
nothing
in
themselves
to
incourage
them
;
yet
such
are
invited
,
and
may
partake
of
this
inriching
,
satisfying
,
covering
,
and
adorning
preparation
proposed
to
,

set
before
them
;
and
may
therefore
incourage
such
to
come
to
the
waters
.
How
many
are
there
that
are
so
poring
upon
their
own
unworthiness
,
and
nothingness
,
as
that
thereby
they
discourage
and
hinder
themselves
,
and
at
last
conclude
there
is
no
hope
for
them
?
This
consideration
might
incourage
them
,
and
cause
them
to
lift
up
the
hands
that
hang
down
,
and
to
come
to
this
fountain
of
the
grace
of
God
.
Joh.

And
this
Instruction
,
as
thus
demonstrated
,
to
wit
.
That
Christ
,
and
this
provision
in
him
,
may
be
had
by
such
as
are
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
,
&c.
Yea
,
by
any
sinful
worthless
creature
of
mankind
,
while
God
is
exercising
longsuffering
,
and
vouchsafing
means
,
and
striving
with
,
and
calling
to
them
,
may
be
of
usefulness
to
us
.
—
1.
To
take
us
off
from
listening
unto
,
or
entertaining
those
false
witnesses
of
God
in
Christ
,
who
shut
up
the
kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
;
and
even
in
their
Doctrines
say
,
Christ
died
not
for
all
men
,
nor
by
the
grace
of
God
tasted
death
for
every
man
,
but
only
for
the
fewest
of
mankind
;
and
so
by
necessary
consequence
,
there
is
nothing
prepared
in
Christ
for
the
greatest
part
of
mankind
,
No
gold
,
no
forgiveness
,
no
righteousness
,
&c.
When
our
Saviour
inveigheth
against
the
scribes
and
Pharisees
,
the
first
woe
he
denounceth
upon
them
,
in
the
hearing
of
the
multitudes
and
his
disciples
,
was
,
because
they
shut
up
the
kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
;
which
was
indeed
their
great
evil
,
and
cause
of
the
following
evils
for
which
they
are
so
sharply
,
and
severely
rebuked
.
Matt.
23.
1-13
.
And
at
another
time
,
when
there
were
gathered
together
an
innumerable
company
of
people
,
insomuch
that
they
trode
one
upon
another
;
He
said
first
of
all
to
his
disciples
in
their
hearing
;
Beware
of
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
,
their
evil
doctrine
,
which
is
hypocrisie
.
Luk.

Oh!
Let
us
also
beware
of
such
doctrines
as
deny
the
grace
of
God
in
Christ
to
mankind
,
as
declared
in
the
Scriptures
;
and
hold
we
fast
those
wholesome
words
,
the
words
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
the
doctrine
which
is
according
to
godliness
.
As
well
as
also
it
may
take
us
off
from
others
,
who
though
they
plainly
deny
not
that
Christ
died
for
all
,
and
is
raised
again
;
or
that
any
man
may
in
coming
to
him
be
inriched
by
him
;
yet
they
confess
not
this
,
they
speak
it
not
out
,
nor
make
it
the
subject
matter
of
what
they
say
,
so
to
exalt
Christ
that
men
might
run
to
him
,
but
press
men
first
to
do
such
and
such
duties
,
and
then
direct
them
to
Christ
,
when
they
are
thus
and
thus
qualified
,
like
those
teachers
to
whom
God
said
,
This
is
the
rest
wherewith
you
may
cause
the
weary
to
rest
(
even
Christ
as
witnessed
in
the
law
,
and
by
the
Prophets
)
and
this
is
the
refreshing
;
but
they
would
not
hear
;
but
the
word
of
the
Lord
was
unto
them
precept
upon
precept
,
&c.
And
hereby
they
caused
God's
people
to
go
astray
,
and
to
forget
their
resting
place
:

Instead
of
directing
men
to
Christ
,
and
calling
,
and
moving
them
to
come
to
this
fountain
,
they
press
men
to
establish
a
righteousness
to
themselves
,
and
to
be
justified
by
the
Law
,
or
to
perfect
by
the
flesh
what
was
begun
by
the
spirit
;
like
those
evil
workers
who
came
amongst
the
Galatians

Seeing
this

may
be

by
such
;
it
sheweth
unto
us
the
great
and
admirable
grace
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
Father
in
him
,
and
that
he
is
not
willing

should

should
come
to
repentance

be
saved

What
could
have
been
done
more
for
us
,
to
assure
us
of
his

to

hearty
desire
of

good
?
as

Herein
he
hath
manifested
,
That
he
is
love
,
and
manifested
his
love
to
us
,
which
was
secret
comparatively
before
;
Because
he
sent
his
only
begotten
Son
into
the
World
,
that
we
might
live
through
him
.

hath
in

that
in

should
all
fulness
dwell

compleatness
for
us

draweth
them
with
cords
of

What
greater
assurance
can
he
give
of
his
cordial
love
,
and
good
will
to
us
,
and
that
he
would
have
all
men
to
be
saved
,

come
to
the

O
that

It
may
incourage
us
all
to
receive
this
Councel
,
and
buy
of
him
this
inriching
Gold
,
and
White
raiment
,
to
come
to
him
in
whom
is
all
fulness
,
in
whom
dwelleth
all
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
bodily
.
O!
let
us
not
say
,
we
are
such
unworthy
ones
,
and
have
so
evilly
and
shamefully
requited
him
,
that
he
will
be
no
more
gracious
to
us
;
He
knoweth
us
better
then
we
know
our selves
;
He
is
greater
then
our
hearts
,
and
knoweth
all
things
.
And
seeing
he
inviteth
us
,
let
us
not
delay
,
or
make
excuses
,
or
so
give
way
to
our
discouragements
as
to
say
,
The
case
is
desperate
;
but
let
us
return
to
him
from
whom
we
have
departed
by
our
iniquities
:
He
knew
these
to
whom
he
givith
this
gracious
counsel
,
who
knew
not
themselves
;
and
knew
them
to
be
piteous
miserable
ones
;
and
yet
he
giveth
this
good
counsel
to
them
.
Here
he
saith
,
I
know
thy
works
,
and
yet
,
I
counsel
thee
to
buy
of
me
,
&c.
As
also
he
telleth
his
people
in
former
times
;
I
knew
thou
art
obstinate
,
and
thy
neck
an
Iron
sinew
,
and
thy
brow
brass
;
—
I
knew
thou
wouldst
deal
very
treacherously
,
and
wast
called
a
transgressour
from
the
womb
;
and
yet
how
gracious
was
he
to
them
,
and
still
calleth
upon
them
;
hearken
unto
me
,
O
Jacob.
Isa.
48.
1-4-8-12
.
He
is
not
unacquainted
with
,
or
ignorant
of
our
great
unworthiness
,
and
manifold
provocations
of
him
,
but
he
knoweth
all
our
ways
,
and
actions
;
yea
,
our
secret
sins
which
have
been
acted
in
the
dark
,
and
with
greatest
secrecy
;
and
yet
he
calleth
us
,
and
stretcheth
forth
his
hand
to
us
.
Let
it
be
so
considered
by
us
that
we
may
not
so
mind
our
wretchedness
as
to
continue
at
a
distance
from
him
;
but
receive
we
his
counsel
,
and
be
wise
,
and
not
refuse
it
.
How
well
did
our
Saviour
take
it
,
and
how
greatly
pleased
was
he
with
the
Woman
of
Canaan
who
still
believed
and
hoped
in
his
mercy
,
and
was
not
discouraged
though
he
intimately
called
her
dog
,
and
seemed
to
give
her
a
repulse
?
She
acknowledged
her self
to
be
as
bad
as
she
was
called
;
but
she
did
not
therefore
conclude
there
was
no
mercy
for
her
;
no
,
but
considered
what
there
was
for
such
an
one
as
was
as
bad
as
she
was
called
.
Matt.
15.
22-28
.
The
consideration
of
his
graciousness
might
make
us
willing
also
to
come
,
such
as
we
are
,
and
to
let
go
all
things
for
this
rich
and
blessed
commodity
,
for
that
is
needful
to
our
partaking
of
it
;

That

,
as
is

shewn
in

former

1.
What
is
this
buying
here
called
for
,
and
counselled
unto
?
The
buying
this
excellent
provision
,
It
is
a
getting
it
into
our
possession
,
an
having
,
or
obtaining
it
:
hence
whereas
in
one
place
the
Holy
Ghost
saith
,
get
Wisdom
,
and
withall
thy
gettings
get
understanding
.
In
another
place
,
He
saith
,
buy
wisdom
and
understanding
.

Truly
God
hath
given
us
mankind
eternal
life
,
and
this
life
is
in
his
Son
,
as
in
a
fountain
and
treasury
:
and
so
as
included
therein
he
hath
given
us
gold
,
white
raiment
,
durable
riches
and
righteousness
:
And
so
it
is
every
man
's
own
by
Christ's
purchase
,
and
God's
gift
in
him
.
The
true
riches
,
in
that
respect
,
are
more
ours
,
then
the
Mammon
of
unrighteousness
is
.

but
yet
no
man
hath
this
life
,
or
those
riches
,
but
he
that
receiveth
,
hath
,
and
is
possessed
of
Christ
,
in
whom
is
this
provision
;
and
with
whom
God
giveth
,
and
in
receiving
whom
men
receive
all
things
by
faith
,

in
some
first-fruits

it
is
indeed
their
own
mercy
,
but
they
have
it
not
;
but
by
this
means
deprive
themselves
of
it
:
But
the
buying
is
an
obtaining
,
having
,
and
receiving
these
excellent
things
here
proposed
to
,
and
set
before
us
.

Why
is
this
getting
,
receiving
,
and
having
this
Gold
and
White
raiment
called
and
compared
to
buying
here
,
and
elsewhere
?
To
that
we
may
answer
—
1.
Negatively
.
2.
Affirmatively
.
—
1.
Negatively
,
Not
as
if
we
had
any
thing
of
real
,
or
equivalent
worth
,
or
value
,
to
part
with
and
give
for
this
excellent
provision
here
invited
to
.
Thus
men
usually
buy
commodities
in
this
world
,
by
parting
with
money
,
or
some
other
thing
for
them
,
which
is
,
or
is
looked
upon
to
be
in
some
measure
worthy
that
they
buy
,
and
get
a
property
in
;
but
so
it
is
not
called
buying
here
.
And
this
will
in
some
measure
appear
if
we
consider
these
things
.
—
1.
The
things
here
commended
to
us
are
the
principal
,
and
most
excellent
things
,
and
no
other
thing
is
to
be
compared
to
them
;
this
provision
here
invited
to
is
above
all
,
above
all
the
things
we
may
,
or
can
desire
;
and
much
more
above
those
we
are
possessed
of
.
That
which
is
said
of
Wisdom
may
be
said
of
this
also
;
it
is
more
precious
then
Rubies
,
and
all
the
things
we
can
desire
are
not
to
be
compared
herewith
:
Man
knoweth
not
the
price
thereof
,
neither
is
it
found
in
the
land
of
the
living
.
—
It
cannot
be
gotten
for
Gold
,
neither
shall
Silver
be
weighed
for
the
price
thereof
;
it
cannot
be
valued
with
the
Gold
of
Ophir
,
with
the
precious
Onyx
,
or
the
Saphire
,
&c.

It
is
even
the

himself
,
and
what
is
treasured
up
in
him
,
and
all
nations
are
before
him
as
nothing
,
and
they
are
counted
to
him
less
then
nothing
,
and
vanity
:
To
whom
then
shall
we
liken
him
?
or
what
likeness
shall
we
compare
unto
him
?

we
injoy
,

are
possessed
of
,
are
not
to
be

to
this
unsearchably
rich
treasure
which
we
are
here
counselled
to
buy
.

And
it
also
appeareth
that
by
buying
is
not
meant
parting
with
any
thing
as
a
valuable
consideration
,
if
we
consider
what
manner
of
persons
they
are
that
are
counselled
to
buy
;
to
wit
,
such
as
had
no
worth
or
worthiness
in
them
,
such
as
were
indigent
worthless
creatures
;
such
as
were
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
;
and
therefore
such
as
could
give
nothing
in
exchange
for
this
excellent
commodity
,
that
might
in
the
least
be
valuable
therewith
,
or
comparable
thereto
;
And
elsewhere
such
are
invited
to
buy
that
have
no
money
nor
price
.

And
it
further
appeareth
that
this
is
not
meant
by
buying
,
because
it
is
highly
provoking
to
God
to
think
that
we
can
purchase
the
gift
of
God
with
any
thing
we
have
as
a
valuable
consideration
:
This
was
the
great
and
hainous
iniquity
of
Simon
Magus
,
to
think
that
the
gift
of
God
might
be
purchased
with
money
:
And
therefore
Peter
said
unto
him
,
Thou
hast
neither
part
nor
lot
in
this
matter
,
for
thy
heart
is
not
right
in
the
sight
of
God
.

But
this
is
called

compared
to

Because
we
must
part
with
somewhat
that
we
may
be
made
partakers
of
Christ
;
As
in
in
buying
any
commodity
a
man
must
part
with
one
thing
for
another
;
so
here
,
We
must
part
with
what
we
have
,
even
all
that
we
have
of
our
own
.
We
must
be
like
the
wise
Merchant
,
who
when
he
had
found
one
Pearl
of
great
price
,
he
went
and
sold
all
that
he
had
,
and
bought
it
.

So
must
we
do
,
we
must
part
with
and
forsake
all
we
have
,
that
we
may
have
this
Gold
,
and
white
raiment
;
As
to
say
,
We
must
at
first
and
always
let
go
our
Pride
,
and
high
thoughts
and
conceits
of
our selves
,
and
of
our
being
in
a
good
condition
already
,
and
without
Christ
:
This
was
the
great
and
fundamental
evil
found
with
these
,
as
is
before
noted
;
they
said
they
were
rich
,
and
increased
with
goods
,
and
had
need
of
nothing
;
and
hereby
they
grew
remiss
and
lukewarm
;
and
therefore
unless
this
evil
and
high
conceit
of
themselves
were
abstained
from
,
and
parted
with
by
them
,
how
could
they
with
fervency
seek
the
Lord
?
Hence
this
faithful
and
gracious
counsellour
instructeth
and
admonisheth
them
.

This
haughty
concert
of
the
goodness

was
that
which
hindered
the
leaders
of

people
in

coming

and
refreshing

directing

they

evil
should
not
overtake
nor
prevent
them
;
They
had
made
a
covenant
with
Death
,
and
with
Hell
were
they
at
agreement
;
they
were
not
afraid
of
death
or
hell
;
they
were
in
an
happy
est●te

and
this
hindred
the
Jews
from
entertaining
Christ
and
his
Gospel
;
they
thought
they
were
whole
already
,
and
that
eternal
life
appertained
to
them
;
they
had
it
in
the
Scriptures
assured
to
them
;
and
they
knew
all
already
,
and
took
it
hainously
that
they
should
be
reproved
,
or
faulted
for
any
thing
,
or
that
the
goodness
of
their
condition
should
be

they
came
not

So
also
we
must
let
go
,
and
forsake
our
double
mindedness
,
and
halting
between
two
opinions
.
This
Angel
and
Church
were
somewhat
polluted
herewith
,
they
were
lukewarm
,
and
neither
cold
nor
hot
;
they
were
not
so
cold
,
as
to
leave
off
all
professed
waiting
upon
Christ
,
and
use
and
observance
of
his
ordinances
;
nor
so
hot
,
as
to
be
chastly
and
singly
for
him
,
to
be
for
him
,
and
for
him
only
;
which
is
a
very
sad
and
nauseous
distemper
,
and
very
loathsome
and
provoking
to
Christ
Jesus
:
and
therefore
needful
it
is
that
we
cleanse
our selves
in
the
light
and
strength
of
God's
grace
here-from
.
And
indeed
this
is
the
consequent
of
pride
and
high
conceits
of
our selves
,
and
of
the
goodness
of
our
conditions
,
and
of
our
attainments
and
injoyments
,
as
hath
been
foreshewn
;
and
as
also
appeareth
in
Jam.

The
grace
of
God
that
bringeth
salvation
to
all
men
,
cometh
first
to
save
us
from
our
pride
and
high
thoughts
of
our selves
;
and
then
,
and
therewith
,
instruction
is
given
to
cleanse
the
heart
from
cou●le-minde●ness
.
This
double-mindedness
as
it
is
very
〈◊〉
and
dangerous
,
so
also
it
is
very
frequent
and
ordinary
amongst
many
professours
,
who
have
a
great
form
of
godline●s
upon
them
.
They
have
some
appearance
of
love
for
the
grace
of
God
in
Christ
to
man-ward
;
and
they
will
come
to
hear
the
Gospel
in
and
amongst
the
Societies
of
God's
people
,
and
seem
to
take
delight
therein
:
And
yet
also
they
have
love
to
,
and
an
heart
for
those
differing
and
contrary
doctrines
which
deny
the
grace
of
God
to
mankind
;
or
confess
it
not
,
speak
it
not
out
openly
;
and
all
are
honest
and
godly
men
with
them
,
both
those
that
declare
and
contend
for
the
faith
of
the
common
salvation
;
and
those
that
deny
,
and
contend
against
it
;
they
have
a
soul
,
and
a
soul
,
two
souls
;
one
inclined
toward
them
that
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
;
and
another
towards
those
that
bring
another
doctrine
,
and
preach
another
Gospel
;
though
these
doctrines
are
as
farr
different
from
one
another
as
Heaven
and
Earth
,
as
some
that
are
enemies
to
the
grace
of
God
in
Christ
to
every
man
,
have
said
,
and
acknowledged
;
yet
these
can
love
both
,
and
commend
both
,
and
receive
good
from
both
,
as
they
pretend
.
Their
heart
is
divided
,
now
shall
they
be
found
faulty
.

Yea
,
this
is
that
they
call
charity
,
to
have
a
good
opinion
and
esteem
of
all
that
make
a
fair
face
in
the
flesh
;
though
many
of
them
preach
another
Jesus
,
or
Spirit
,
or
Gospel
,
besides
him
whom
the
Apostles
have
preached
,
or
that
the
believers
have
received
and
accepted
,
when
as
indeed
it
is
not
charity
:
For
charity
rejoyceth
not
in
iniquity
,
but
rejoyceth
in
the
truth
;
but
it
is
the
fruit
of
their
instability
,
and
want
of
fervent
love
to
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
which
,
were
it
in
them
,
would
cause
them
not
to
indure
evil
doctrines
,
nor
those
that
bring
them
.

Christ

hath
in

especially
given
such

that

which
are
evil

might
abhor
the

cleave
to
the
good
with
full
purpose
of
heart
;
and
might
not

be
Children
tossed

carried
about

of

,
by
the
sleight

whereby
they
lye
in

that
our
hearts
might
not

as
to
be
beguiled

deceived
by
the
good
words

fair
speeches
of
them
that
cause
divisions

offences
contrary
to
the
Apostles
doctrine
,
but
might
be
established
with
grace
,
and
receive
and
abide
in
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
in
which
whosoever
abideth
he
hath
both
the
Father
and
the
Son
.
And
that
if
any
man
(
how
appearingly

learned
soever
he
be

bring
not
this
doctrine
(
whatever
doctrine
else
he

if
this
be

we
should
not
receive
him
into
our
house
(
give
no

him

nor
bid
him
,
God
speed
(
say
not

the
blessing

the
Lord
prosper

for
he
that
biddeth
such

He

carried
about
with

What
a
great
enemy
was
Saul
,
who
had
his
life
in
his
own
works
of
righteousness
,
to
Christ
and
his
Gospel
?
He
verily
thought
he
ought
to
do
many
things
contrary
to
the
name
of
Jesus
,
and
was
exceedingly
mad
against
the
Gospel
,
and
its
declarers
:
He
was
concerning
zeal
persecuting
the
Church
,
and
concerning
the
righteousness
of
the
Law
blameless
:
But
after
the
kindness
and
love
of
God
to
man
ward
appeared
to
him
,
he
did
count
all
but
loss
for
the
excellency
of
the
knowledg
of
Christ
Jesus
his
Lord
,
that
he
might
gain
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
;
not
having
his
own
righteousness
which
was
of
the
Law
,
but
the
righteousness
which
is
through
the
faith
of
Christ
,
even
the
righteousness
of
God
by
faith
:
We
must
suffer
the
circumcising
efficacy
of
the
grace
of
God
to
cut
off
this
foreskin
of
the
heart
,
or
otherwise
we
shall
not
be
of
the
circumcision
;
who
worship
God
in
the
Spirit
,
and
rejoyce
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
have
no
confidence
in
the
flesh

of
this
World

of

for
this
is
a

great
hinderance
from
coming
unto
,

following
after
Jesus
Christ
;
from
heartily
believing
in
,
and
confessing
him
:
How
can
ye
believe
,
saith
our
Saviour
,
which
receive
honour

one
of
another

seek
not

honour
that
cometh

While
men
are
set
for
the
praise

of
them
who
have
a
form
of
godliness
,
denying
the
power
thereof
,
they
dare
not
,
they
cannot
singly
cleave
to
the
Lord
,
lest
they
should
displease
,
and
lose
their
favour
.
This
friendship
of
the
World
is
spiritual
uncleanness
,
and
enmity
with
God
,
as
the
Apostle
signifieth
when
he
saith
;
Ye
Adulterers
and
Adulteresses
,
know
ye
not
that
the
friendship
of
the
world
,
of
the
prophane
ones
,
or
of
the
Saints
thereof
,
is
enmity
with
God
;
whosoever
therefore
will
be
a
friend
of
the
World
,
he
is
the
enemy
of
God
.

Truly
if
a
man
will
be
a
Disciple

follower
of
Jesus

He
shall
be
hated
of
all
men
;
and
have
his
name
cast
out
as
evil
for
the
son
of
man's
sake
:
And
that
not
only
by
profane
ones
,
but
by
many
that
appear
righteous
towards
men
;
yea
,
by
such
as
have
a
zeal
of
God
,
but
not
according
to
knowledg
:
Therefore
that
a
man
may
come
after
Jesus
Christ
,
needful
it
is
that
he
go
out
of
the
Camp
,
bearing
his
reproch
;
and
be
willing
to
be
made
the
filth
and
off-scouring
of
all
things

This

of

is
inconsistent
with
walking
in

Hence
the
Apostle
saith
,
If
we
live

let
us
also
walk
in
the
Spirit
;
let
us
not
be
desirous
of
vain
glory

And
this
will
hinder
from
confessing
Christ
,
as
it
did
the
rulers
who
believed
on
Christ
,
but
did
not
confess
him
;
for
they
loved
the
praise

glory
of
men
rather
then
the
praise
of
God

Joh.

The
grace
of
God
must
be
therefore
so
received
as
to
cut
off
this
lust
and
desire
,
that
we
may
cleave
to
the
Lord
with
full
purpose
,
and
follow
him
in
the
regeneration
:
He
is
a
Jew
who
is
one
inwardly
,
and
circumcision
is
that
of
the
heart
,
in
the
spirit
,

not
in
the
letter
,
whose
praise
is
not
of
men

of

the
riches
of

for
this
is
a
very
hurtful

pernicious
affection

lust
of
the
flesh

and
is
therefore
to
be
mortified
by
us
,

we
have

thereof

it
is
naturally
highly
valued
by
us

of
very
great
account
with
us

through
our
blindness
and
ignorance
:
We
are
by
nature
and
first
birth
empty
,
and
void
of
all
spiritual
understanding
;
though
we
would
be
wise
,
yet
we
are
born
like
a
wild
Asses
Colt
;
hence
we
are
ready
to
mistake
,
to
call
evil
good
,
and
good
evil
;
to
put
light
for
darkness
,
and
darkness
for
light
;
To
make
an
Idol
of
Christ
,
and
God
in
him
,
and
to
prefer
broken
Cisterns
before
the
fountain
of
living
waters

We
are
strongly
inclined
to
be
highly
esteeming
,
and
valuing
our
own
things
,
which
we
must
sell
,
and
let
go
that
we
may
have
Christ
,
and
those
unsearchable
riches
of
him
;
especially
such
things
as
are
commendable
amongst
men
,
and
which
are
the
object
of
the
desires
of
the
mind
;
as
to
say
particularly
:
The
wisdom
of
this
world
is
of
high
account
amongst
men
,
and
men
are
apt
to
glory
herein
,
as
if
it
were
some
goodly
thing
:
Though
it
is
,
and
is
declared
to
be
,
foolishness
with
God
;

every
man
by

that
which

is

tender
of

prizeth

he
looketh
upon
it
as
a
most
useful

beneficial
thing

both
for
knowing

finding
out

men
adore
and
worship
,
and
lift
up
themselves
by
,
and
make
their
boast
of
;
and
upon
every
occasion
ask
counsel
of
this
stock
,
and
this
staff
declareth
to
them
.
So
also
the
works
and
doings
of
the
flesh
,
which
are
wrought
by
the
wisdom
and
strength
thereof
,
our
own
righteousness
according
to
the
Law
,
this
is
highly
esteemed
amongst
men
;
and
men
are
apt
to
confide
herein
,
and
think
on
this
account
eternal
life
appertaineth
to
them
:
This
is
even
their
life
,
their
riches
,
their
gain
;
though
in
truth
it
be
nothing
worth
,
for
we
are
all
as
an
unclean
thing
and
all
our
righteousnesses
are
as
filthy
raggs
.
Isa.

Thus
it
was
with
the
Apostle
Paul
when
he
had
his
confidence
in
the
flesh
;
he
was
alive
once
without
the
Law
,
he
thought
himself
to
be
in
a
very
good
and
happy
condition
.
Rom.

His
own
righteousness
which
was
of
the
Law
was
gain
to
him
,
before
the
righteousness
of
God
without
the
Law
was
believed
and
received
by
him
.
Phil.
3.
4-7-9
.
And
thus
it
was
more
generally
with
the
Pharisees
,
they
trusted
in
themselves
that
they
were
righteous
,
and
despised
others
.
Luk.
18.
9.
And
even
so
it
is
now
:
Those
who
are
seeking
righteousness
as
it
were
by
the
works
of
the
Law
,
and
according
thereto
have
indeavoured
to
avoid
the
evils
thereby
forbidden
;
and
to
do
and
perform
the
things
thereby
required
and
injoyned
;
such
as
have
a
zeal
of
God
,
but
not
according
to
knowledg
;
and
who
are
establishing
a
righteousness
to
themselves
,
they
have
high
and
goodly
esteems
and
conceits
of
of
their
own
works
,
zeal
,
appearing
righteousness
,
and
holiness
;
this
is
money
and
price
in
their
eye
naturally
,
though
it
be
filthy
and
unprofitable
in
the
pure
eyes
of
God
.
So
the
riches
of
this
world
,
which
are
the
object
of
covetousness
,
are
highly
accounted
of
amongst
men
,
though
they
are
uncertain
riches
,
the
Mammon
of
unrighteousness
,
and
not
the
true
riches
.
Luk.
16.
9-12
.
But
such
as
perish
;
and
which
while
injoyed
render
not
a
man
any
whit
the
more
truly
happy
in
the
account
of
God
;
yet
how
do
men
bless
themselves
hereby
,
and
think
highly
of
themselves
?
and
how
do
they
trust
herein
as
if
they
were
therefore
in
the
favour
of
God!
This
Mammon
is
one
of
the
Gods
of
the
World
also
,
which
men
,
while
they
are
judging
and
acting
as
men
,
do
give
their
loves
unto
,
and
place
their
affections
upon
,
and
delight
in
;
and
in
time
of
trouble
cry
thereto
,
saying
,
Arise
and
save
us
.
And
so
we
might
say
of
all
the
rest
,
but
shall
not
inlarge
hereto
any
further
particularly
in
this
place
.
But
in
general
we
may
say
;
the
body
of
sin
is
called
flesh
;
and
the
affections
and
lusts
thereof
,
our
members
,
such
as
fornication
,
uncleanness
,
inordinate
affection
,
evil
concupisence
,
and
covetousness
,
&c.
Because
they
are
naturally
so
near
and
dear
to
us
,
so
greatly
valued
and
highly
prized
by
us
,
as
our self
,
our
life
,
riches
,
goods
,
right
eye
,
hand
,
foot
,
&c.

Therefore
the
parting
with
these
that
we
may
obtain
that
durable
riches
and
righteousness
in
Christ
,
is
well
called
and
compared
to
Buying
,
because
though
they
are
really
and
in
truth
nothing
worth
,
yet
we
have
such
an
over-high
account
of
them
,
and
such
an
indeared
affection
to
them
naturally
.
3.
This
winning
Christ
and
that
provision
in
him
is
called
,
and
compared
to
buying
,
because
as
in
buying
,
earnestness
and
diligence
is
to
be
used
and
exercised
;
and
to
that
end
there
must
be
some
high
account
of
the
commodity
to
be
bought
,
for
it
's
worth
,
necessity
,
or
usefulness
,
without
which
men
will
not
ordinarily
be
diligent
.
Thus
it
was
with
Jacob's
Sons
when
they
went
down
into
Egypt
to
buy
Bread
,
what
diligence
and
earnestness
was
found
with
them
,
in
going
such
a
long
journey
to
get
provision
for
themselves
;
because
they
knew
they
could
not
,
in
an
ordinary
way
,
subsist
without
it
?
Gen.
42.
2-10
.
And
thus
also
that
we
may
partake
of
this
gold
,
and
white
raiment
,
needful
it
is
that
we
so
highly
value
them
,
as
to
be
servent
and
zealous
in
seeking
them
.
Indifferency
of
Spirit
was
that
which
hindered
this
Angel
and
Church
from
buying
,
they
were
lukewarm
,
and
neither
cold
not
hot
;
and
unless
this
temper
were
removed
,
they
could
not
be
made
partakers
of
this
heavenly
commodity
,
as
is
before
said
.
So
elsewhere
the
holy
Ghost
signifieth
,
that
diligence
and
importunity
is
to
be
used
,
that
we
may
get
the
wisdom
that
is
from
above
.
If
,
saith
he
,
thou
cryest
after
wisdom
,
and
liftest
up
thy
voice
for
understanding
;
if
thou
seekest
her
as
silver
,
and
searchest
for
her
as
for
hid
treasure
:
then
shalt
thou
understand
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
find
the
knowledg
of
God
,
&c.
Prov.
2.
1-6
.
On
such
like
accounts
,
and
for
such
like
reasons
,
this
gaining
Christ
,
and
that
most
excellent
provision
in
him
,
is
called
,
and
compared
to
buying
.
And
we
shall
add
no
more
to
this
second
particular
,
but
come
to
the
next
formerly
proposed
—
Viz.
3.
To
shew
that
these
heavenly
commodities
must
be
bought
,
and
that
in
the
present
time
,
and
opportunity
;
and
this
may
appear
,
in
that
this
gracious
counsellour
,
who
is
the
Son
of
the
Father
in
truth
and
love
;
and
who
hath
given
such
an
unquestionable
evidence
of
his
grace
towards
us
in
laying
down
his
life
for
us
,
giveth
this
counsel
to
this
Angel
and
Church
;
and
giveth
it
to
the
end
they
might
receive
it
,
and
in
receiving
it
,
mi●hr
not
be
spued
out
of
his
mouth
,
without
which
they
should
.
We
may
be
confident
,
he
would
not
so
seriously
give
such
counsel
to
such
persons
,
were
it
not
needful
to
be
received
,
and
obeyed
by
them
:
But
we
may
a
little
further
demonstrate
it
in
some
particulars
—
As
to
say
.
—
1.
This
Gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
and
White
raiment
,
must
be
bought
,
that
is
,
as
before
is
said
,
we
must
part
with
all
we
have
for
it
,
though
never
so
delightful
to
us
,
and
desirable
of
us
,
our
sins
and
idols
;
or
else
they
will
hinder
us
from
servently
and
diligently
seeking
after
Christ
,
and
that
salvation
and
provision
in
him
,
as
is
also
before
often
intimated
:
For
these
are
contrary
the
one
to
the
other
.

with

he
receive

he
may
be
made
wise
;
to
cease
from
his
own
wisdom
,
and
plack
out
this
right
eye
,
otherwise
it
will
pervert
him
,

keep
him
out

to
be

thereof
?
When

are
in

safe

already

from
submitting

accepting
of

righteousness

which
is
through

In
like
manner
,
if
the
friendship
of
this
world
be
sought
after
,
and
delighted
in
by
us
,
it
will
be
an
hindrance
to
us
from
closing
with
,
and
cleaving
unto
Jesus
Christ
:
The
friendship
of
this
world
is
enmity
with
God

he
therefore
that
will
be
a

that

take
heed

beware

for

money

root
of
all
evil

Servant
can
serve

he
will
hate

love

,
any
sin

lead

to
undervalue

hinder
from
an
hearty
embracement
of
him
,
and
earnest
pursuit
after
him

Every

that

evil
hateth
the

It
is
therefore
absolutely
needful
to
our
being
made
partakers
of
Christ
,
and
those
treasures
in
him
,
to
flee
from
what
is
reproved
,
and
discovered
to
be
evil
,
by
the
sight
of
the
Gospel
;
because
the
carnal
mind
,
the
body
of
sin
,
and
it's
members
,
is
enmity
against
God
:
for
it
is
not
subject
to
the
Law

God
,
neither
indeed
can
it
be
;
so
then
they
that
are
in
the
flesh
cannot
please

us
to
part

;
that
we
may
embrace

unto

render

It

withhold
himself

He
is
not
worthy
of
him
who
preserreth
any
thing
before
him
;
so
much
our
Saviour
saith
concerning
those
who
,
when
they
were
bidden
,
refused
to
come
:
The
King
of
glory
,
when
the
feast
was
actually
prepared
in
Christ
,
sent
forth
his
Servants
,
saying
;
tell
them
which
are
bidden
;
Behold
I
have
prepared
my
dinner
,
my
Oxen
and
Fatlings
are
killed
,
and
all
things
are
ready
,
come
unto
the
feast
:
But
they
made
light
of
it
,
and
went
their
ways
,
one
to
his
Farm
,
another
to
his
Merchandise
;
and
another
had
married
a
wife
,
and
therefore
his
plea
is
,
he
cannot
come
;
of
these
he
saith
,
they
which
were
bidden
were
not
worthy
:
They
acted
most
unseemly
and
foolishly
,
in
refusing
such
a
blessed
and
rich
feast
,
for
such
vain
and
unprofitable
things
;
their
refusal
was
unsuitable
to
,
and
unworthy
of
such
grace
testified
and
manifested
to
them
;
and
thereby
they
deprived
themselves
of
good
,
and
so
provoked
the
King
to
anger
,
that
he
professeth
none
of
those
unworthy
refusers
shall
taste
of
his
provision

whom
he
hath
glorified
with
his
own
self
with
the
glory
which
he
had
with
him
before
the
world
was
.
He
is
more
precious
then
Rubies
,
and
all
the
things
we
can
desire
are
not
to
be
compared
unto
him
:
He
is
more
excellent
and
glorious
then
the
mountains
of
Prey
:
In
him
he
hath
prepared
for
us
all
the
treasures
of
wisdom
and
knowledg
:
Sound
wisdom
is
his
,
and
in
him
;
He
hath
brought
in
everlasting
righteousness
;
and
this
is
prepared
of
God
for
us
in
him
:
He
hath
obtained
for
us
durable
riches
,
unsearchable
riches
of
grace
and
glory
.
God
hath
given
to
us
eternal
life
,
and
this
life
is
in
his
Son
:
Yea
,
in
him
are
prepared
all
spiritual
blessings
,
in
whom
dwelleth
all
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
bodily
.
And
he
as
become
such
an
excellent
one
,
and
as
thus
furnished
,
is
giving
himself
to
us
in
his
Gospel
,
and
with
himself
all
things
,
that
we
might
,
for
the
excellency
of
the
knowledg
of
him
,
suffer
the
loss
of
all
things
,
and
count
them
but
dung
and
dogs-meat
,
that
we
might
win
him
,
and
be
sound
in
him
.
Now
then
,
doth
not
this
render
a
man
unworthy
of
him
,
that
shall
preferr
his
own
wisdom
which
is
brutish
;
his
righteousness
which
is
filthy
;
his
works
which
are
empty
and
unprofitable
;
his
glory
which
is
vain
;
his
Mammon
which
is
false
,
and
uncertain
;
and
his
pleasures
which
are
〈◊〉
and
but
for
a
little
time
to
be
injoyed
:
before
him
who
is
altogether
lovely
,
only
satisfying
,
and
inriching
;
and
who
rendereth
,
and
maketh
them
eternally
happy
and
blessed
that
receive
and
retain
him
?
Do
not
such
men
by
observing
lying
vanities

sorsake

deprive
themselves
of
their
own

buy
the

even
Christ

To
shew
unto
us
the
Reason
why
the
flock
of
Christ
is
such
a
little
flock
,
and
so
few
heartily
joyn
themselves
unto
him
;
it
is
because
they
that
will
receive
him
,
and
be
his
Disciples
,
must
sell
all
that
they
have
,
which
many
will
not
do
:
If
men
might
have
him
and
keep
their
sins
and
idols
also
,
many
would
flock
unto
him
,
and
be
followers
of
him
.
Yea
,
many
there
are
who
call
themselves
,
and
are
called
Christians
,
who
only
cleave
unto
him
by
flatteries
;
and
are
not
indeed
,
and
in
truth
united
to
him
as
their
head
,
nor
built
on
him
as
their
foundation
,
and
so
are
not
of
his
flock
in
a
peculiar
consideration
:
But
they
are
like
those
we
read
of
,
who
would
eat
their
own
bread
,
and
wear
their
own
apparel
,
only
they
would
be
called
by
his
name
,
to
take
away
their
reproch
.

The
straitness
of
the
gate
is
such
that
they
are
not
willing
to
pass
through
it
;
and
this
is
that
which
maketh
it
so
strait
:
There
is
room
enough
for
any
man
to
enter
,
but
in
entring
he
must
leave
all
his
own
things
behind
him
,
as
hath
been
said
:
And
because
of
this
,
many
unreasonably
take
offence
at
Christ
,
and
will
not
come
unto
him
that
they
may
have

Wide
is

hold
fast
deceit

his

drunkeness

uncleanness

covetousness

malice

vain-glory

many
there
be
therefore
which
go

to
have
her
,
he
laid
hold
on
John
,
and
put
him
in
Prison
,
adding
this
above
all
his
evils
;
and
would
have
put
him
to
death
before
he
did
,
but
that
he
feared
the
multitude
.

The
young
man
that
came
to
our
Saviour
,
and
said
unto
him
,
Good
Master
,
what
good
thing
shall
I
do
that
I
may
have
eternal
life
;
He
had
done
many
things
also
,
and
it
might
have
been
thought
he
would
not
have
stuck
at
the
straitness
of
the
gate
.
But
yet
when
our
Saviour
saith
,
One
thing
thou
lackest
yet
,
sell
all
that
thou
hast
,
and
give
to
the
poor
,
and
thou
shalt
have
treasure
in
Heaven
,
and
come
,
and
follow
me
;
when
he
heard
this
he
went
away
very
sorrowful
:
for
he
had
great
possessions
.

So
it
is
with
many
others
also
;
When
the
glad
tidings
of
the
Gospel
are
first
declared
to
them
,
they
are
ready
to
wonder
at
those
gracious
words
;
and
they
are
unto
them
as
a
lovely
Song
of
one
that
can
play
well
on
an
Instrument
,
and
hath
a
pleasant
voice
;
yea
,
possibly
the
Gospel
may
have
some
impression
upon
them
;
and
they
are
made
willing
to
part
with
some
evils
thereby
;
and
yet
when
this
Gospel
sheweth
them
the
necessity
of
parting
with
all
reproved
,
and
beginneth
to
draw
them
out
of
their
elements
,
they
then
forsake
the
Lord
the
fountain
of
living
waters
.
How
zealous
did
those
Jews
appear
to
be
who
took
shipping
,
and
followed
Jesus
,
as
if
they
had
been
regardless
of
their
own
outward
affairs
and
concernes
!
And
how
were
they
inquiring
of
Christ
what
they
should
do
that
they
might
work
the
works
of
God
,
that
they
might
have
that
meat
which
endureth
unto
everlasting
life
!
And
praying
him
,
Lord
,
evermore
give
us
the
bread
of
life
:
And
yet
when
he
told
them
what
it
was
,
because
it
did
not
answer
their
expectation
,
but
reproved
them
,
and
their
other
feeding
,
how
many
were
offended
at
Christ
,
and
went
back
,
and
walked
no
more
with
him
.
Joh.
6.
24-34-66
.
This
is
the
condemnation
,
that
lign
is
come
into
the
world
,
and
men
loved
darkness
rather
then
light
,
because
their
deeds
were
(
and
were
discovered
by
the
light
to
be
)
evil
:
For
every
one
that
doth
evil
hateth
the
light
neither
cometh
he
to
the
light
,
lest
his
deeds
should
be
reproved
and
discovered
.
Joh.

,

Let
this
be
considered
by
us
,
that
we
miscarry
not
also
after
the
examples
of
others
,
which
are
recorded
for
our
admonition
.
—
2.
In
that
they
that
will
have
Christ
,
and
the
unsearchable
riches
and
righeousness
of
him
,
must
buy
them
,
with
selling
all
that
they
have
,
this
sheweth
unto
us
the
mistake
of
many
in
their
thoughts
of
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
.
How
many
are
there
that
think
and
say
,
this
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
is
a
smooth
,
easie
Doctrine
,
a
Doctrine
of
loosness
,
and
licentiousness
:
If
,
say
they
,
Christ
died
for
all
,
Then
men
may
live
as
they
list
,
and
do
whatsoever
is
right
in
their
own
eyes
,
and
yet
they
shall
be
saved
.
It
seemeth
by
their
thus
speaking
they
conclude
,
those
that
Christ
died
for
may
live
as
they
list
;
And
so
the
Elect
,
as
they
call
them
,
for
whom
only
,
they
say
,
he
died
,
may
do
whatsoever
is
good
in
their
own
eyes
.
Oh
miserable
mistake
!
How
ignorant
are
such
persons
of
this
sound
Doctrine
,
which
is
a
Doctrine
according
to
godliness
?
This
Doctrine
indeed
proclaimeth
liberty
to
us
,
and
calleth
us
to
liberty
,
a
gracious
,
and
glorious
liberty
;
only
not
to
liberty
for
an
occasion
to
the
flesh
.
Gal.
5.
1
,
13.
It
proclaimeth
unto
us
a
liberty
from
sin
,
not
to
sin
:
for
this
is
a
cursed
liberty
;
and
yet
it
is
that
which
their
Doctrines
make
way
for
,
who
are
enemies
to
the
grace
of
God
in
Christ
to
the
world
of
mankind
,
while
they
would
lay
it
upon
and
charge
others
with
it
.
But
herein
Christ's
Gospel
meeteth
with
no
other
use
in
the
world
then
himself
did
while
he
was
here
in
his
personal
ministration
.
The
zealous
ones
amongst
the
Jews
did
falsly
accuse
Christ
with
being
a
vicious
person
;
the
men
of
that
generation
,
those
who
were
the
men
of
the
times
then
,
they
said
of
the
Son
of
Man
,
Behold
a
gluttonous
person
,
and
a
wine
bibber
,
a
friend
of
Publicanes
and
sinners
:
But
saith
he
,
Wisdom
is
justified
of
all
her
Children
.
All
the
Children
of
Christ
and
the
Gospel
know
,
that
this
is
but
a
slander
.
Luk.
7.
31-35
.
Matt.

There
is
no
other
Doctrine
besides
,
that
so
sheweth
the
vileness
of
sin
,
and
necessity
of
our
being
washed
therefrom
in
the
blood
of
Christ
,
as
doth
this
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
:
For
the
grace
of
God
that
bringeth
Salvation
to
all
men
,
hath
appeared
,
teaching
us
,
that
denying
ungodliness
,
and
worldly
lusts
,
we
should
live
soberly
,
righteously
and
godly
in
this
present
world
.

But
this
slander
of
theirs
is
the
issue
of
their
ignorance
and
prejudice
;
and
what
better
fruit
can
be
expected
from
such
evil
and
bitter
roots
?
3.
This
instruction
may
also
shew
unto
us
the
great
evil
of
those
that
deny
that
Christ
hath
died
for
all
,
and
by
the
grace
of
God
tasted
death
for
every
man
;
for
these
render
it
impossible
for
the
greatest
part
of
men
to
be
made
partakers
of
that
darable
riches
and
righteousness
in
Christ
.
The
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
maketh
the
gate
unto
life
strait
enough
,
and
yet
no
straiter
then
is
needful
;
But
these
shut
up
the
kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
,
and
neither
enter
in
themselves
,
nor
suffer
them
that
are
entring
to
enter
.
The
little
finger
of
this
Doctrine
is
heavier
then
the
loyns
of
the
Gospel
to
the
greatest
part
of
man
kind
.
Nay
,
indeed
as
with
respect
to
one
part
of
men
,
there
is
no
straitness
in
the
gate
at
all
;
and
with
reference
to
the
other
,
and
greatest
part
,
there
is
no
gate
open
for
them
at
all
,
were
their
doctrines
as
true
,
as
they
are
counted
by
many
:
But
these
herein
are
false
witnesses
of
God
,
and
like
the
evil
spies
that
brought
an
evil
report
upon
the
Land
of
Canaan
,
and
thereby
discouraged
the
hearts
of
many
of
their
brethren
:
Take
we
heed
and
beware
of
those
evil
and
pernicious
doctrines
that
cause
to
err
from
the
words
of
knowledg
,
and
way
of
truth
.
—

Seeing
we
cannot
have
these
heavenly
commodities
without
buying
,
in
selling
all
that
we
have
;
let
us
so
seriously
consider
the
excellency
of
them
,
that
we
may
be
made
willing
to
let
go
all
things
as
lo●s
and
dung
〈◊〉
for
the
excellency
of
the
knowledg
of
them
,
that
we
may
be
made
partakers
of
them
:
For
the
great
and
eternal
worth
,
and
excellency
of
these
considered
,
will
make
this
yoke
easy
,
ano
this
burden
light
.
And
this
leadeth
us
to
the
last
instruction
propounded
to
be
considered
by
us
.
—
viz.
—
4.
That
to
the
end
the
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
may
buy
this
gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
and
this
white
raiment
here
commended
to
us
;
it
is
good
and
neeful
for
them
that
they
anoint
their
eyes
with
eye
salve
that
they
may
see
.
—
This
,
though
the
last
mentioned
and
counselled
unto
,
is
surely
needful
to
the
former
;
for
without
knowledg
the
soul
cannot
be
good
.
Prov.
19.
2.
How
should
any
man
so
highly
prize
any
commodity
,
as
to
part
with
all
his
substance
for
it
,
that
seeth
no
worth
or
excellency
in
it
?
And
how
should
Christ's
Angels
and
Churches
part
with
all
they
have
for
those
heavenly
treasures
,
if
they
see
no
beauty
in
them
why
they
should
desire
them
?
There
is
no
earnest
desire
after
,
or
high
prizing
of
that
which
we
are
ignorant
of
,
and
see
no
worthiness
in
.
Now
then
in
this
Instruction
here
propounded
,
we
shall
speak
unto
these
three
things
contained
therein
,
which
may
be
usefully
,
and
profitably
considered
by
us
.
—
As
to
say
.
—
-
1.
That
Christ's
Angels
and
Churches
may
be
blind
,
and
ignorant
of
the
excellency
of
Christ
,
and
those
treasures
in
him
.
—
-
2.
That
there
is
eye-salve
prepared
for
such
blind
ones
also
,
wherewith
anointing
their
eyes
they
may
see
.
—
-
3.
That
to
the
end
they
buy
Christ
,
and
that
in
him
,
it
is
neeful
they
anoint
their
eyes
herewith
,
that
they
may
see
.
—
1.
That
Christ's
Angels
and
Churches
may
so
depart
from
him
,
as
to
become
blind
and
ignorant
of
the
excellency
of
Christ
,
and
of
those
treasures
hid
in
him
:
Thus
it
appeareth
here
in
this
place
,
in
which
our
Lord
saith
to
the
Angel
,
Thou
art
blind
;
and
counselleth
every
one
that
hath
an
ear
,
to
hear
what
the
spirit
saith
to
the
Churches
;
as
intimating
,
this
was
spoken
to
them
all
for
their
admonition
;
and
that
it
might
so
befall
them
also
,
if
they
did
not
look
diligently
lest
they
failed
of
,
or
fell
from
the
grace
of
God
.
God's
people
may
become
foolish
,
and
not
know
him
,
they
may
be
sottish
children
,
and
have
no
understanding
.
Jer.
4.
22.
Yea
,
the
Pastours
may
become
brutish
,
and
not
seek
the
Lord
.
Jer.
10.
19-21
.
The
blindness
here
spoken
of
is
not
the
being
destitute
of
natural
,
or
artificial
wisdom
,
the
wisdom
of
this
world
;
for
this
men
may
have
,
and
yet
be
sufficiently
blind
in
this
consideration
we
have
to
speal
of
,
for
the
wisdom
of
this
world
is
foolishness
with
God
.
Where
is
the
wise
?
Where
is
the
Scribe
?
Where
is
the
disputer
of
this
world
?
Hath
not
God
made
foolish
the
wisdom
of
this
world
?
1
Cor.
3.
19.
and
chap.
1.
18-21
.
But
the
blindness
here
spoken
of
is
,
a
being
without
the
wisdom
that
is
from
above
,
a
being
destitute
of
spiritual
understanding
;
And
so
this
Angel
was
blind
,
if
not
wholly
,
yet
in
a
great
measure
;
and
in
so
great
a
measure
as
that
our
Saviour
,
the
wisdom
of
God
signifieth
that
he
was
blind
.
Those
that
are
watchmen
amongst
God's
people
,
and
who
have
high
conceits
of
themselves
for
knowledg
,
and
piety
,
may
yet
have
their
eyes
blinded
with
darkness
.
His
watchmen
,
saith
the
Lord
,
are
blind
;
they
are
all
ignorant
;
there
may
be
blind
guides
,
blind
leaders
of
the
blind
,
and
how
sad
is
it
when
it
is
thus
?
Then
surely
their
leaders
cause
them
to
err
,
and
they
that
are
led
of
them
are
destroyed
?

This
Angel
and
Church
might
be
in
such
a
condition
as
the
Apostle
Peter
speaketh
of
when
he
saith
,
He
that
lacketh
these
things
(
to
wit
,
these
great
and
precious
promises
ministred
in
and
with
the
Gospel
;
he
in
whom
these
are
not
,
and
abound
not
,
dwell
not
richly
;
so
as
he
addeth
not
to
his
faith
virtue
;
and
to
virtue
knowledge
;
and
to
knowledge
temperance
;
and
to
temperance
patience
;
and
to
patience
godliness
;
and
to
godliness
brotherly-kindness
;
and
to
brotherly-kindness
charity
;
such
an
one
)
is
blind
,
and
cannot
see
afarr
off
;
he
is
poreblind
:
He
may
see
some
things
near
hand
,
but
he
is
so
blind
he
cannot
see
these
things
afarr
off
;
he
cannot
see
within
the
vail
;
he
cannot
see
into
Heaven
where
Christ
is
,
nor
those
things
above
where
he
sitteth
.

Nor
that
blessed
hope
,

appearing
of

great
God

and

Saviour
Jesus
Christ
:
And
the
reason
of
that
blindness
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
,
and
of
this
our
Saviour
chargeth
this
Angel
and
Church
with
,
and
reproveth
them
for
,
may
be
one
;
to
wit
,
the
forgetting
that
they
were
purged
from
their
old
sins
;
letting
slip
what
they
heard
from
the
beginning
,
to
wit
,
that
Christ
died
for
the
sins
of
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
and
so
of
all
men
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
that
he
was
buried
;
and
that
he
rose
again
the
third
day
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
Whereby
Christ
purged
our
old
sins
,
our
first
sin
,
and
sinfulness
,
and
through
the
knowledge
whereof
he
washed
our
hearts
from
an
evil
conscience
,
and
spake
peace
to
us
and
made
us
free
:
Had
they
kept
this
in
an
hearty
believing
remembrance
,
they
had
been
saved
,
and
preserved
from
this
blindness
;
and
they
should
have
continued
in
the
Son
,
and
in
the
Father
:
But
receiving
and
entertaining
a
forgetfulness
of
this
purgation
,
and
of
the
means
whereby
it
was
effected
,
this
contracted
blindness
to
them
.

And
this
blindness
of
theirs
appeared
,
and
was
evident
in
two
things
:
(
and
wherever
these
things
are
found
,
doubtless
they
are
in
some
measure
blind
,
and
so
in
the
condition
of
this
Angel
and
Church
)
That
is
to
say
,
1.
They
were
grown
lukewarm
,
as
hath
been
said
,
and
did
not
so
perceive
the
preciousness
of
Christ
as
to
be
zealous
and
servent
in
seeking
after
him
,
that
they
might
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
:
In
letting
slip
the
word
of
the
beginning
of
Christ
,
the
vision
of
all
,
the
God
of
this
world
had
blinded
their
minds
,
that
they
did
not
so
discern
the
beauty
and
comeliness
of
Christ
,
as
to
cry
after
the
knowledge
and
injoyment
of
him
,
and
those
spiritual
and
eternal
blessing
in
him
;
but
they
were
grown
remiss
,
and
indifferent
:
Those
that
in
seeing
see
,
and
keep
in
their
view
the
excellency
of
Christ
,
are
far
from
this
distemper
:
To
them
that
believe
,
he
is
precious

,

conformity
unto
him
.

And
they
are

in

As
the

panteth
after
the

But
contrarily
,
it
is
a
certain
evidence
of
blindness
,
when
persons
are
grown
so
heartless
and
indifferent
,
that
they
content
themselves
,
without
him
;
and
deny

delay

give

him

standeth
at

knocketh
for

these

When
men
by
observing
lying
vanities
forsake
him
,
and
will
none
of
him
;
when
they
prefer
their
works
,
riches
,
righteousness
,
lusts
and
vanities
,
before
him
,
and
those
excellent
treasures
in
him
,
which
only
will
truly
inrich
,
clothe
,
satisfy
,
and
adorn
them
;
it
appeareth
evidently
to
him
who
knoweth
all
things
,
and
to
those
who
have
their
understandings
opened
,
that
ignorance
and
darkness
hath
blinded
their
eyes
.

So
much
the
Apostle
saith
concerning
the
Galatians
:
O
foolish
Galations
,
saith
he
,
who
hath
bewitched
you
,
that
you
should
not
obey
the
truth
,
before
whose
eyes
Jesus
Christ
hath
been
evidently
set
forth
,
&c.
Gal.
3.
1.
It
was
evident
that
they
were
become
foolish
and
blind
,
and
that
some
person
or
persons
had
cast
a
mist
before
their
eyes
,
in
that
they
were
removed
from
Christ
,
and
that
grace
in
him
;
and
did
seek
righteousness
,
and
sanctification
elsewhere
,
and
indeavoured
to
perfect
by
the
flesh
that
which
was
begun
by
the
spirit
:
When
Christ
was
first
displayed
before
them
,
he
was
then
so
excellent
in
their
eyes
,
that
they
turned
unto
him
from
their
sins
and
idols
;
they
did
run
well
;
for
they
did
run
unto
him
for
all
wisdom
,
righteousness
,
and
strength
,
because
of
the
Lord
his
God
,
and
for
the
Holy
one
of
Israel
,
who
had
glorified
him
.
Oh
then
what
blessedness
did
they
meet
with
,
and
speak
of
,
in
Christ
!
But
afterwards
letting
slip
the
preaching
of
the
Cross
,
they
turned
again
to
weak
and
beggerly
elements
:
And
on
this
account
the
Apostle
calleth
them
foolish
ones
,
blind
ones
,
and
bewitched
persons
;
it
appeared
evidently
their
eyes
were
blinded
,
or
otherwise
they
would
have
kept
their
first
esteem
,
and
high
prizing
of
Christ
.

So
also
it
was
too
much
with
this
Angel
and
Church
;
they
were
blind
,
and
it
appeared
that
they
were
so
,
in
that
they
shut
out
Christ
when
he
knocked
for
entrance
,
and
undervalued
him
:
And
we
may
safely
conclude
as
with
respect
to
our selves
,
and
others
,
that
blindness
hath
happened
to
us
in
a
great
measure
,
when
our
love
to
,
and
zeal
for
Christ
is
gone
,
and
we
are
grown
luke-warm
.
—
2.
It
appeared
also
and
was
evident
that
they
were
blind
,
because
together
with
their
low
esteem
of
Christ
,
they
had
high
thoughts
,
and
conceits
of
themselves
,
and
of
the
goodness
of
their
condition
without
him
,
and
of
their
knowledge
,
parts
,
gifts
,
righteousness
,
and
integrity
:
They
said
they
were
rich
,
and
increased
with
goods
,
and
had
need
of
nothing
;
when
as
in
truth
it
was
far
otherwise
with
them
;
for
they
were
wretched
and
miserable
,
&c.
They
conceited
they
knew
,
and
were
ready
to
say
they
were
wise
,
and
the
Law
of
the
Lord
was
with
them
,
when
as
indeed
they
were
brutish
and
foolish
.
Jer.
8.
7
,
8.
This
was
an
undoubted
evidence
of
their
blindness
,
and
is
so
of
any
man's
,
when
he
beginneth
to
be
so
well
thoughted
,
and
highly
conceited
of
himself
.
Truly
those
that
walk
in
the
light
as
God
is
in
the
light
,
they
are
helped
to
see
,
and
bewail
their
shortness
in
every
thing
;
and
while
they
hear
songs
,
even
glory
to
the
righteous
,
they
are
ready
to
cry
out
,
our
leanness
,
our
leanness
,
woe
unto
us
,
the
treacherous
dealers
have
dealt
treacherously
with
us
;
yea
,
the
treacherous
dealers
have
dealt
very
treacherously
.
Isa.
24.

They
are
ready
with
shame
to
complain
,
that
they
are
more
brutish
then
man
;
and
that
they
have
not
the
understanding
of
a
man
;
that
they
have
neither
learned
wisdome
,
nor
have
the
knowledge
of
the
holy
.

:

They
are
ready
to
consess
and
acknowledge
,
that
they
have
not
yet
attained
,
neither
are
already
perfect
(
as
to
attainment
)
but
they
follow
after
,
if
that
they
may
apprehend
that
for
which
also
they
are
apprehended
of
Christ
Jesus
:
They
count
not
themselves
to
have
apprehended
,
&c.
Phil.
3.
11-16
.
Yea
,
the
nearer
the
light
they
come
,
the
more
they
see
their
vileness
,
readiness
to
halt
,
insufficiency
to
any
thing
that
is
good
,
uncleanness
and
pollution
;
so
that
they
even
abhorr
themselves
in
dust
,
and
ashes
;
and
cry
out
as
persons
undone
,
because
of
their
great
uncleanness
,
and
manifold
defilements
:
Their
comeliness
is
even
turned
into
corruption
,
and
they
retain
no
strength
at
all
.

made

they
cry
out

It
is
therefore
an
evidence
without
controversy
,
of
mens
great
blindness
and
ignorance
,
when
they
have
such
an
overweening
conceit
of
themselves
,
and
of
their
knowledge
,
fulness
,
and
sufficiency
,
of
their
goodness
and
uprightness
,
as
had
this
Angel
and
Church
.
Such
persons
are
like
to
the
Pharisees
of
old
,
who
were
very
pure
in
their
own
eyes
,
and
had
some
kind
of
righteousness
,
and
appeared
righteous
before
men
:
They
had
very
high
thoughts
of
themselves
,
as
if
they
where
whole
,
and
knowing
persons
,
and
needed
nothing
;
hence
some
of
them
say
,
are
we
blind
also
?
As
if
it
were
an
hainous
thing
to
suppose
so
of
them
.
Job
.
9.
40.
And
one
of
them
in
speaking
to
Christ
saith
,
Master
,
thus
saying
thou
reprochest
us
also
.
As
if
it
were
a
reproch
to
them
to
be
suspected
as
,
or
reproved
for
,
being
guilty
of
such
evils
as
were
justly
charged
upon
them
.
Luk.
11.
44
,
45.
Thus
also
it
is
with
many
persons
that
have
had
some
understanding
of
the
grace
of
God
in
Christ
to
mankind
;
as
they
begin
to
lessen
,
and
abate
in
their
love
to
,
and
esteem
of
Christ
;
so
together
here-with
,
they
think
unsoberly
of
themselves
,
and
are
puffed
up
with
conceits
of
their
knowledge
,
integrity
,
and
upright-heartedness
;
when
as
indeed
this
is
nothing
else
then
the
fruit
and
evidence
of
their
blindness
and
ignorance
.
Nay
generally
,
such
as
deserve
most
to
be
reproved
and
blamed
;
and
who
give
too
frequently
occasion
to
the
adversary
to
speak
reprochfully
of
that
worthy
name
called
upon
them
,
they
are
the
forwardest
in
proclaiming
their
own
goodness
,
and
most
tender
of
their
reputation
,
and
most
incensed
against
such
as
are
seeking
and
pursuing
their
good
:
As
if
the
God
of
this
world
had
blinded
their
minds
,
that
they
might
the
more
securely
go
on
to
their
own
destruction
.
And
surely
,
as
hath
been
said
,
such
like
goodly
thoughts
of
themselves
;
as
were
found
with
this
Angel
and
Church
,
are
an
evident
demonstration
that
they
are
blind
;
and
professing
themselves
to
be
full
,
and
wise
,
they
become
still
more
foolish
and
brutish
:
And
expose
themselves
to
that
great
judgment
of
being
spued
out
of
the
mouth
of
Christ
.
—
And
this
consideration
that
Christ's
Angels
and
Churches
may
,
after
they
have
been
inlightned
into
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
become
blind
again
,
as
it
sared
with
this
Angel
and
Church
,
may
be
of
usefulness
to
us
all
.
—
1.
To
admonish
us
,
not
therefore
to
follow
any
as
our
guides
,
because
they
are
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
yea
,
though
they
are
Angels
therein
;
for
it
is
possible
,
though
their
eyes
have
been
opened
,
yet
by
letting
slip
what
they
have
heard
,
they
may
become
blind
again
:
And
if
the
blind
lead
the
blind
,
both
will
fall
into
the
ditch
.
Matt.
15.
14.
Nay
,
it
is
certain
they
are
blind
if
they
be
grown
lukewarm
,
and
remiss
,
and
sit
loose
from
Christ
,
or
shut
him
out
;
and
together
herewith
are
lifted
up
with
pride
,
and
high
thoughts
of
their
knowledge
,
fullness
,
attainments
:
Concerning
such
it
may
be
said
;
hearken
not
to
the
words
of
these
Prophets
,
they
make
you
vain
,
they
speak
a
vision
of
their
own
heart
,
and
not
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
.
Jer.
23.
15
,
16.
When
once
the
vision
of
all
is
unto
them
as
the
words
of
a
book
that
is
sealed
;
and
they
have
no
knowledge
of
,
or
delight
in
it
:
When
Christ
,
who
is
therein
witnessed
of
,
and
lifted
up
,
is
disallowed
,
and
sleighted
by
them
;
and
they
conceit
themselves
well
enough
without
him
;
it
is
a
certain
evidence
and
sign
that
they
are
blind
,
their
eyes
are
covered
and
closed
;
and
how
should
we
then
safely
follow
them
?

Let
us
remember
them
who
have
spoken
unto
us
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
and
follow
their
faith
unto
whom
Christ
is
precious
;
and
consider
them
,
the
end
of
whose
conversation
,
in
all
they
are
exercised
unto
,
is

Seeing
they
may
become
blind
who
have
been
inlightened
into
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
;
let
us
examine
our selves
;
and
search
and
try
our
hearts
and
ways
,
whither
it
be
not
so
with
us
:
These
things
are
written
for
our
instruction
and
learning
,
upon
whom
the
ends
of
the
world
are
come
:
Let
us
not
think
we
have
ever
the
more
a
good
understanding
,
because
we
think
and
say
,
we
are
rich
,
but
rather
suspect
our selves
,
if
such
a
vain
thought
lodge
within
us
:
For
if
any
man
think
he
knoweth
any
thing
,
he
knoweth
nothing
yet
as
he
ought
to
know
:
But
if
any
man
love
God
in
Christ
,
if
his
heart
cleave
unto
him
with
full
purpose
the
same
is
known
and
owned
of
him
.

There
is
indeed
a
great
boast
of
knowledge
in
the
world
in
these
last
days
,
and
men
have
high
conceits
of
themselves
,
and
of
their
riches
and
fullness
;
but
,
Oh
that
,
notwithstanding
their
crying
up
of
their
knowledge
,
and
the
goodness
of
their
condition
,
it
appear
not
at
last
that
they
are
blind
,
and
foolish
,
and
destitute
of
love
to
Christ
,
and
that
gold
and
white
raiment
which
he
hath
to
sell
!
Yea
,
let
us
all
be
jealous
of
our selves
;
and
let
us
not
be
high-minded
,
but
fear
:
Doubtless
if
once
we
think
we
are
Lords
,
and
come
not
continually
unto
Christ
,
we
are
not
such
persons
as
we
conceive
our selves
to
be
,
but
darkness
hath
blinded
our
eyes
:
And
if
we
be
convinced
it
be
thus
with
us
;
and
to
the
end
we
may
know
what
condition
we
are
in
.
—

Be
we
all
exhorted
to
listen
to
the
counsel
here
given
unto
us
by
this
wise
and
gracious
counsellour
,
to
wit
,
let
us
anoint
our
eyes
with
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
:
And
that
we
may
so
do
,
is
to
be
seen
in
the
next
place
—
viz.
—

That
there
is
Eye-salve
also
prepared
for
them
that
are
blind
,
wherewith
anointing
their
eyes
they
may
see
.
We
have
seen
before
,
that
there
is
gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
for
those
that
are
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
:
And
white
raiment
for
naked
ones
,
wherewith
they
may
be
clothed
,
so
as
the
shame
of
their
nakedness
may
not
appear
.
And
here
is
signified
to
us
,
that
there
is
Eye-salve
also
to
be
had
,
to
cure
and
heal
the
blindness
of
the
eyes
.
In
Christ
,
as
declared
in
the
testimony
,
there
is
all
compleatness
prepared
for
us
,
for
supplying
all
our
wants
,
and
healing
all

In
that
feast
which
is
prepared
by
means
of
the
marraige
of
our
Nature
to
the
Divine
Nature
,
in
the
person
of
the
word
,
the
Son
of
God
;
there
is
a
compleat
provision
for
us
poor
,
empty
,
miserable
,
diseased
creatures
:
And
hitherto
are
invited
,
not
only
the
poor
,
and
the
maimed
,
and
the
halt
,
but
the
blind
also
:
For
therein
there
is
cure
and
healing
for
them

into

,
and
dispose

Joh.

And
though
it
be
marvellous
in
our
eyes
,
and
hath
been
wondred
at
,
that
the
blind
should
receive
their
sight
;
yet
it
is
easy
with
him
unto
whom
all
power
is
given
both
in
Heaven
,
and
on
earth
.

Though
there
be

yet
he
can
heal
this
disease
also
,
no
word
is
impossible
unto
him

But
before
we
come
to
speak
to
this
Instruction
particularly
,
it
may
be
useful
to
consider
and
give
Answer
unto
this
Question
,
which
may
reasonably
be
propounded
.
viz.
Quest.
Why
doth
the
Amen
,
the
faithful
and
true
witness
,
counsel
this
Angel
and
Church
to
buy
of
him
Gold
,
and
White
raiment
;
and
not
also
this
Eye-salve
?
Wherefore
is
the
Phrase
here
altered
?
He
had
said
.
I
counsel
thee
to
buy
,
as
with
respect
to
the
two
former
particulars
;
and
now
the
Phrase
is
changed
,
and
here
he
saith
,
anoint
thine
eyes
,
&c.
What
may
the
Reason
hereof
be
?
Answ.
1.
In
general
we
may
say
,
doubtless
there
is
good
reason
for
it
,
though
it
be
hidden
from
me
,
who
am
such
a
babe
,
and
so
unskilful
in
these
things
:
For
there
is
not
the
least
word
,
variation
,
or
change
,
made
use
of
in
the
Scripture
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
it
is
so
used
and
done
in
much
wisdom
,
and
upon
weighty
accounts
,
all
the
words
of
whose
mouth
are
in
righteousness
,
and
given
forth
in
judgment
:
And
therefore
oftentimes
called
judgment
,
and
judgments
.
Isa.
51.
4.
Psal.
105.
5.
And
hence
I
believe
,
though
I
may
not
see
wherefore
,
that
there
is
good
cause
for
the
altering
the
manner
of
expression
here
in
this
part
of
the
counsel
:
And
had
I
more
anointed
mine
eyes
with
this
eye-salve
,
I
might
have
better
seen
the
cause
,
so
as
to
have
been
helpful
to
others
,
in
giving
a
satisfactory
Answer
hereto
.
But
,
2.
More
particularly
;
I
conceive
,
as
hath
been
intimated
before
,
that
though
this
part
of
the
counsel
be
placed
last
in
the
order
of
words
,
yet
it
is
first
to
be
received
and
observed
in
order
of
nature
;
for
how
can
we
so
highly
value
this
gold
and
white
raiment
,
as
to
buy
,
in
selling
all
that
we
have
,
unless
we
first
in
some
measure
see
the
worth
and
value
thereof
?
Now
,
therefore
this
Eye-salve
is
brought
unto
us
preventingly
,
and
we
are
instructed
to
anoint
our
eyes
herewith
,
before
it
be
required
of
us
to
buy
:
The
eye
must
first
be
opened
,
before
we
can
turn
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
unto
God
.
Acts
26.
18.
It
cannot
reasonably
be
expected
from
us
,
that
we
should
forsake
all
we
have
,
or
be
saved
from
our
sins
and
idols
,
until
our
eyes
be
opened
,
and
we
see
,
and
have
found
this
treasure
:
Hence
that
call
,
Look
unto
me
,
and
be
ye
saved
,
to
wit
,
from
your
iniquities
and
vanities
;
but
first
,
look
unto
me
,
saith
Isa.
45.
22.
The
kingdome
of
Heaven
is
like
unto
a
treasure
hid
in
a
field
,
the
which
when
a
man
hath
found
he
hideth
;
and
for
joy
thereof
goeth
and
selleth
all
that
he
hath
,
and
buyeth
that
field
:
But
first
,
before
he
buyeth
,
in
selling
all
that
he
hath
,
he
findeth
it
,
and
discerneth
and
perceiveth
the
excellency
of
it
,
so
as
it
causeth
joy
unto
him
.

So
here
;
this
Angel
and
Church
is
instructed
without
,
and
before
buying
to
anoint
their
eyes
;
and
then
,
and
to
that
end
,
that
they
buy
those
unsearchable
riches
,
and
invaluable
treasures
of
Christ
Jesus
,
which
are
here
set
before
them
,
and
the
excellency
whereof
is
propounded
to
them
.
—
Now
then
in
speaking
unto
this
Instruction
,
we
shall
inquire
into
and
shew
.
—
-
1.
What
are
these
eyes
of
theirs
here
spoken
of
,
and
which
they
are
called
upon
to
anoint
?
—
-
2.
What
is
this
Eye-salve
here
commended
to
them
,
wherewith
they
should
anoint
their
eyes
?
—
-
3.
What
is
this
anointing
the
eyes
which
is
here
called
for
,
and
counselled
unto
?
—
-
4.
Shew
,
That
this
is
prepared
for
them
,
and
brought
unto
them
,
that
they
may
anoint
their
eyes
herewith
.
—
1.
What
are
these
eyes
of
theirs
here
spoken
of
,
and
which
they
are
called
upon
to
anoint
:
—
To
this
we
may
say
;
Not
their
outward
or
bodily
eyes
:
For
here
the
holy
Spirit
speaketh
of
spiritual
things
,
as
hath
in
some
measure
been
shewn
.
And
it
appeareth
their
blindness
was
not
upon
the
bodily
eye
,
because
they
would
then
have
known
it
:
But
of
these
he
saith
,
thou
knowest
not
that
thou
art
blind
.
They
were
insensible
of
their
misery
;
which
very
rarely
,
if
ever
,
persons
are
of
their
outward
blindness
;
unless
such
as
are
wholly
bereaved
of
judgment
:
But
there
are
other
eyes
,
to
wit
,
those
of
the
soul
,
the
mind
,
or
understanding
of
a
man
;
that
faculty
of
the
soul
whereby
a
man
may
see
,
when
it
is
opened
,
such
things
as
the
bodily
eye
cannot
discerne
:
And
of
these
inward
eyes
our
Saviour
here
speaketh
:
Their
understandings
were
darkened
.
Ephes.
4.

Their
minds
were
blinded
.
2
Cor.

&
3.

These
eyes
are
called
,
the
eyes
of
the
understanding
.
Ephes.
1.
18.
Of
these
eyes
our
Saviour
speaketh
,
when
he
saith
to
his
Disciples
;
perceive
ye
not
yet
,
neither
understand
?
Have
ye
your
hearts
yet
hardened
?
Having
eyes
see
ye
not
?
—
How
is
it
that
you
do
not
understand
?
Mark
8.
17-21
.
—
And
of
these
eyes
the
Apostle
meaneth
,
when
he
saith
to
the
Galatians
;
who
hath
bewitched
you
,
that
ye
should
not
obey
the
truth
,
before
whose
eyes
Jesus
Christ
hath
been
evidently
set
forth
crucified
,
among
you
?
Gal.
3.
1.
He
was
never
crucified
in
the
view
of
their
bodily
eyes
,
for
he
was
crucified
at
Jerusalem
;
but
he
was
set
forth
crucified
before
the
eyes
of
their
understanding
in
the
glorious
Gospel
.
These
eyes
may
be
sufficiently
blind
and
dark
as
with
respect
to
spiritual
things
,
though
the
bodily
eye
be
never
so
quick-sighted
;
and
though
a
man
may
be
rich
in
the
knowledg
and
sight
of
natural
or
moral
things
:
So
it
was
with
this
Angel
and
Church
;
and
therefore
this
gracious
and
faithful
Counseller
instructeth
,
and
counselleth
them
to
anoint
their
eyes
,
to
wit
,
of
the
understanding
,
with
this
Eye-salve
.
2.
What
is
this
Eye
salve
here
spoken
of
,
and
commended
to
them
,
by
this
faithful
and
true
Witness
?
This
also
is
to
be
understood
in
a
spiritual
consideration
;
and
hereby
is
not
meant
the
Wisdom
of
this
world
,
or
of
the
Princes
of
this
world
;
for
this
will
not
open
the
eyes
of
the
blind
into
the
knowledge
of
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
the
ends
and
virtues
thereof
,
nor
into
the
preaching
thereof
:
But
these
things
are
foolishness
to
them
that
seek
after
this
wisdom
,
1
Cor.
1.
18-23
.
The
natural
and
animal
man
receiveth
not
the
things
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
for
they
are
foolishness
unto
him
;
nor
can
he
know
them
,
because
they
are
spiritually
discerned
,
1
Cor.
2.
14.
And
hence
the
Holy
Ghost
hath
instructed
those
that
are
wise
with
this
seeming
wisdom
,
to
become
fools
,
that
they
might
be
wise
,
as
before
,
1
Cor.
3.
18-20
.
and
admonished
the
believers
to
beware
of
Philsophy
,
Col.
2.
8
,
9.
And
the
Apostle
avoided
〈◊〉
use
of
it
,
in
declaring
the
testimony
of
God
,
1
Cor.
1.
17.
and
Chapter
2.
1-5
.
But
by
this
Eye-salve
is
meant
,
the
Word
of
Truth
,
the
Gospel
of
our
Salvation
,
especially
the
first
branch
of
it
;
in
which
is
declared
to
us
the
sufferings
of
Christ
,
and
what
he
hath
thereby
effected
for
us
in
himself
,
and
obtained
into
himself
,
and
is
become
.
And
that
this
is
meant
by
the
Eye-salve
here
commended
to
us
,
may
appear
.
1.
By
the
name
put
upon
it
,
and
that
by
this
same
Apostle
to
whom
this
book
of
the
Revelation
was
sent
and
signified
;
it
is
by
him
called
an
action
,
and
the
anointing
:
So
the
Apostle
saith
to
the
believers
;
Ye
have
received
an
unction
from
the
Holy
one
,
and
ye
know
all
things
;
That
is
,
they
had
received
the
truth
,
the
word
of
truth
,
which
appeareth
to
be
the
thing
meant
by
that
expression
;
That
which
they
had
heard
from
the
beginning
,
to
wit
,
that
Christ
died
for
our
sins
according
to
the
Scriptures
and
was
buried
,
and
rose
again
the
third
day
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
1
John
2.
20-24
.
with
1
Cor.
15.
1
,
4.
And
so
it
is
called
the
anointing
;
which
is
the
very
same
thing
,
when
he
saith
,
The
anointing
ye
have
received
of
him
abideth
in
you
;
and
ye
need
not
that
any
man
teach
you
,
but
as
the
same
anointing
teacheth
you
of
all
things
,
and
is
truth
,
and
is
no
lye
,
&c.
1
John
2.

And
in
this
testimony
of
Jesus
,
the
Holy
Spirit
,
which
is
the
Oyl
wherewith
Christ
was
anointed
above
his
fellows
,
is
always
present
in
the
faithful
declaration
of
it
,
Isa.
61.

Yea
,
because
this
Gospel
was
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
;
and
because
the
Spirit
is
always
present
with
it
;
therefore
it
is
especially
as
now
revealed

called
the
ministration

It
appeareth
also
,
that
by
this
Eye-salve
is
meant
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
or
testimony
of
the
Lord
,
because
this
is
that
which
openeth
the
eyes
of
the
understanding
,
that
men
may
see
;
for
which
purpose
,
and
to
which
end
,
this
Angel
and
Church
is
counselled
to
use
this
Eye-salve
:
So
it
is
said
,
The
testimony
of
the
Lord
is
sure
,
making
wise
the
simple
;
to
wit
,
opening
their
eyes
,
and
revealing
to
them
that
object
,
in
knowing
which
they
may
be
made
wise
:
And
the
commandment
of
the
Lord
(
the
old
and
new
Commandment
,
the
Gospel
of
Christ
)
is
pure
,
enlightening
the
eyes
,
Psal.
19.
7
,
8.
So
much
the
Prophet
elsewhere
also
signifieth
,
when
he
saith
,
The
entrance
of
thy
words
(
namely
,
the
word
of
the
beginning
of
Christ
)
giveth
light
,
(
to
discover
all
things
)
and
it
giveth
understanding
(
to
wit
,
capacity
for
seeing
)
unto
the
simple
:
It
giveth
both
light
and
sight
,
without
both
which
a
man
cannot
see
;
though
a
mans
eyes
be
never
so
good
,
yet
he
cannot
see
in
the
dark
.
But
this
testimony
of
the
Lord
is
the
medium
for
discovering
all
things
;
and
this
giveth
capacity
for
discerning
the
things
discovered
also
.
So
wonderful
are
the
testimonies
of
the
Lord
,
especially
in
the
first
and
fundamental
things
of
them
,
Psal.
119.
129
,
130.
So
also
the
Apostle
signifieth
,
that
the
Spirit
of
wisdom
and
revelation
is
given
in
the
knowledge
,
or
doctrine
of
Christ
,
both
for
opening
the
eyes
of
the
understanding
,
and
for
discovering
and
revealing
Christ
,
and
all
things
in
him
,
Ephes.
1.
17
,
18.
Certainly
,
as
the
power
of
the
Lord
was
present
with
Christ
to
heal
bodily
diseases
and
infirmities
,
to
cure
the
deaf
and
blind
,
while
he
was
here
in
his
personal
Ministration
,
Luke
5.
17.
So
also
the
hand
and
power
of
the
Lord
,
yea
,
his
arm
is
put
forth
in
and
with
this
word
,
so
as
the
preaching
of
the
Cross
is
the
power
of
God
for
healing
the
diseases
of
the
Soul
;
for
giving
sight
to
the
blind
minds
of
men
,
Psal.
107.
20.
1
Cor.
1.
17
,
18
,
23
,
24.
Hence
it
is
said
,
That
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
was
upon
Christ
,
because
the
Lord
anointed
him
to
preach
the
Gospel
to
the
poor
,
and
therewith
to
preach
recovering
of
sight
to
the
blind
,
Luke
4.
18.
He
is
become
a
good
Physician
,
and
he
giveth
sight
to
the
blind
,
by
anointing
them
with
that
oyl
that
is
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
And
the
Apostle
when
he
was
sent
to
the
people
,
and
to
the
Gentiles
,
to
open
their
eyes
,
and
to
turn
them
from
darkness
to
light
,
&c.
was
sent
with
this
Eye-salve
to
preach
the
first
and
great
things
of
Gods
Law
to
them
;
and
so
much
he
giveth
us
to
understand
,
I
continue
,
saith
he
,
to
this
day
,
witnessing
both
to
small
and
great
;
saying
none
other
thing
,
then
those
which
the
Prophets
and
Moses
did
say
should
come
to
pass
.
That
Christ
should
suffer
,
and
that
he
should
be
the
first
that
should
rise
from
the
dead
,

Unto
me
is
this
grace
given
,
that
I
should
preach
among
the
Gentiles
the
unsearchable
riches
of
Christ
,

to
make
all
men
see
;
to

preaching

Thereby
he
made
them
see

that
they
might

excellent
usefulness

Soul

call
it

letter

letter
,
as
if
it
were
meet

nothing

When
as
indeed
it
is
the
power
of
God
for
saving
men
from
their
blindness
,
and
ignorance
,
and
from
all
their
iniquities
and
idols
;
and
they
prove
and
experiment
it
so
to
be
,
that
with
the
heart
believe
it
:
Hence
it
is
called
,
not
onely
the
Gospel
of
our
salvation
,
but
the
salvation
of
God
also

to

that
he
hath
suffered
and
risen
again
from

,

thereby
opened

This
then
is
the
Eye-salve
wherewith
they
should
anoint
their
eyes
,
to
wit
,
the
testimony
of
Jesus
,
(
especially
in
the
first
things
of
it
)

is

What
is
this
anointing
the
eyes
here
called
for
,
and
counselled
unto
?
Surely
hereby
is
meant
,
a
receiving
this
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
and
retaining
it
in
the
midst
of
the
heart
;
Or
,
as
having
reference
to
the
Metaphor
,
a
putting
it
upon
the
eye
,
and
suffering
it
there
to
abide
,
and
enter
in
,
and
take
place
;
not
resisting
,
or
putting
it
away
.
Herein
is
implied
,
that
this
Eye-salve
is
brought
nigh
in
due
time
unto
men
;
yea
,
to
such
also
as
have
suffered
a
decay
of
those
things
wrought
in
them
by
the
glorious
Gospel
:
The
word
is
nigh
thee
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
in
thy
mouth
,
and
in
thine
heart
;
that
is
the
word
of
faith
which
we
preach
.
'T
is
brought
nigh
to
men
in
the
preaching
of
it
,
that
it
might
be
received
and
entertained
by
them
,
Rom.
10.

Now
that
which
is
here
required
,
is
,
that
they
should
anoint
their
eyes
herewith
,
that
they
should
embrace
it
,
and
not
put
it
away
from
them
:
This
was
the
great
evil
found
with
the
Jews
,
when
the
Apostles
preached
the
Gospel
to
them
;
and
that
which
caused
them
to
turn
to
the
Gentiles
,
That
when
the
word
of
God
was
spoken
to
them
,
they
put
it
away
from
them
,
and
would
none
of
it
:
Had
they
entertained
it
,
it
would
have
opened
their
blind
eyes
;
but
they
refused
it
,
and
rejected
this
word
of
salvation
sent
to
them
,
Acts
13.
45
,
46.
The
contrary
hereto
was
required
of
this
Angel
and
Church
;
Namely
,
that
they
would
receive
,
and
let
that
abide
in
them
,
which
they
had
heard
at
the
beginning
;
As
1
John

John

.
Luke

As
Salve
will
not
cure
any
bodily
infirmity
or
distemper
,
unless
it
be
laid
upon
it
,
and
applied
thereto
:
So
also
it
is
needful
,
to
the
end
our
spiritual
blindness
may
be
removed
and
cured
,
that
this
Eye-salve
,
the
testimony
of
Jesus
,
be
received
and
kept
by
us
,
and
laid
to
our
eyes
,
as
it
were
,
and
suffered
there
to
abide
;
according
to
what
the
Proverb
saith
:
My
son
,
attend
to
my
words
,
incline
thine
ear
unto
my
sayings
;
let
them
not
depart
from
thine
eyes
,
(
but
apply
them
thereto
as
Salve
)
keep
them
in
the
midst
of
thine
heart
;
for
they
are
life
unto
those
that
find
them
,
and
medicine
to
all
their
flesh
,
Prov.
4.
20-22
.
&
3.
21-23
.
And
so
certainly
that
which
is
contained
in
this
counsel
,
that
they
should
anoint
their
eyes
,
is
like
unto
that
;
My
son
,
keep
my
words
,
and
lay
up
my
commandments
with
thee
;
keep
my
commandments
,
and
live
,
and
my
law
as
the
apple
of
thine
eyes
:
Bind
them
upon
thy
fingers
,
write
them
upon
the
table
of
thine
heart

The
anointing
then
here
called
for
,
and
counselled
unto
,
is
an
embracing
and
keeping
upon
the
eyes
those
things
they
had
heard
from
the
beginning
in
the
Gospel
of
Christ
;
which
would
heal
and
cure
their
blind
eyes
,
and
help
them
to
see
and
behold
that
which
at
present
they
were
ignorant
of
,
and
unacquianted
with

We
come
in
the
next
place
to
shew
,
that
this
Eye-salve
is
prepared
for
the
blind
,
and
brought
nigh
unto
them
in
due
time
,
that
they
might
anoint
their
eyes
herewith
,
that
they
may
see
.
This
Gospel
hath
been
witnessed
and
preached
from
the
beginning
;
The
Spirit
of
Christ
in
the
Prophets
did
testifie
before-hand
the
Sufferings
of
Christ
,
and
the
Glory
that
should
follow
,
1
Pet.
1
,
9-11
.
And
therewith
God
was
converting
and
restoring
the
soul
from
its
wandrings
and
diseases
,
Psal.
19.
7.
But
now
the
mystery
is
so
opened
,
as
in
former
times
it
was
not
.
The
mystery
which
was
kept
secret
since
the
world
began
,
is
now
revealed
,
and
made
manifest
;
and
by
the
Scriptures
of
the
Prophets
,
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
everlasting
God
,
made
known
to
all
nations
for
the
obedience
of
faith
,
Rom.
16.
25
,
26.
And
this
Gospel
,
as
thus
revealed
,
is
in
the
Scriptures
of
truth
preserved
amongst
his
Angels
and
Churches
,
through
the
wonderfulness
of
Gods
working
,
whereby
they
have
great
advantage
given
unto
them
,
Rom.

,

This
is
committed
to
them
,
and
they
are
betrusted
with
it
,
in
the
records
thereof
,
that
thereby
they
might
anoint
their
eyes
,
and
might
shine
as
lights
in
the
world
,
holding
forth
the
word
of
life
,

Tim.

,

And
in
due
time
God
is
bringing
this
nigh
unto
them
,
and
giving
it
unto
them
,
that
it
might
be
received
.
This
commandment
,
this
word
of
faith
,
is
not
hidden
from
thee
,
neither
is
it
far
off
:
It
is
not
in
Heaven
,
that
thou
shouldst
say
,
who
shall
go
up
for
us
to
Heaven
,
and
bring
it
unto
us
,
that
we
may
hear
it
,
and
do
is
?
Neither
is
it
beyond
the
sea
,
that
thou
shouldest
say
,
Who
shall
go
over
the
sea
,
that
we
may
hear
it
,
and
do
it
?
But
the
word
is
very
nigh
unto
thee
,
in
thy
mouth
,
and
in
thine
heart
,
that
is
the
word
of
faith
which
we
preach
,
saith
the
Apostle
.

It
is
given
unto
the
blind
in

as
is

in
that

Wisdom
of
God
saith
,
Receive

For
a
man
can
receive
nothing
,
except
it
be
given
him
from
above
,

As
God
hath
written
unto
us
excellent
things
in
counsels
,
and
knowledge
,
even
the
great
things
of
his
Law
;
so
in
due
time
he
is
shewing
them
unto
men
,
to
them
that
have
the
Name
of
Christ
called
upon
them
especially
;
and
bringing
nigh
unto
them
,
and
strengthning
them
to
receive
and
embrace
them
;
that
the
eyes
of
their
understandings
might
be
enlightened
thereinto
,
and
thereby
,
into
all
things
needful
to
be
known
and
understood
by
them
:
Yea
,
and
this
Eye-salve
may
be
had
freely
in
its
preventing
operations
;
not
onely
without
money
and
price
,
without
worth
and
worthiness
;
for
so
the
Gold
and
White
Raiment
may
be
had
,
as
hath
been
shewn
;
but
also
without
buying
.
And
we
are
not
instructed
,
as
before
is
said
,
to
buy
this
Eye-salve
,
to
part
with
any
thing
,
before
we
anoint
our
eyes
;
but
we
are
counselled
to
receive
,
and
apply
this
to
our
eyes
freely
,
that
we
may
see
:
And
then
,
and
so
to
buy
those
unvaluable
treasures
here
commended
to
us
.
And
this
instruction
may
be
useful
to
us
.
1.
To
shew
unto
us
the
sinfulness
and
provoking
nature
of
their
sin
,
and
justness
and
severity
of
their
punishment
;
who
close
their
eyes
,
or
remain
blind
,
when
such
Salve
is
prepared
for
them
,
and
brought
nigh
unto
them
in
due
season
:
Such
have
no
cloke
for
their
sins
,
but
are
willingly
ignorant
,
who
reject
or
despise
this
remedy
provided
for
them
of
God
.
And
how
shall
they
escape
,
that
neglect
so
great
salvation
?
If
there
were
no
Salve
prepared
for
the
blind
,
or
if
it
were
not
brought
nigh
unto
them
,
or
might
not
be
had
freely
,
men
might
have
some
excuse
;
they
might
say
,
Alas
,
we
are
blind
,
and
how
then
should
we
seek
for
healing
?
and
poor
and
miserable
,
and
how
then
should
we
buy
it
?
But
what
will
they
now
have
to
say
,
who
perish
for
lack
of
knowledge
,
especially
where
the
Scriptures
are
vouchsafed
?
If
they
shall
be
inexcusable
,
unto
whom
the
Word
and
Oracles
of
God
have
not
been
afforded
,
nor
committed
,

How
much
rather
inexcusable
will
they
be
,
and
of
how
much
sorer
punishment
,
suppose
ye
,
shall
they
be
counted
worthy
,
who
remain
in
blindness
and
ignorance
,
unto
whom
he
hath
given
and
shewed
his
word
,
and
afforded
more
choice
advantage
and
means
?

astonishment
hath
taken
hold

Is
there

Why
then
is
not
the
hurt

recovered

is
their

be

judgment
so
persisting

hate
knowledge
,

will
not
chuse
the
fear
of
the
Lord
:

after
their
eyes
have
been
opened
,
wink
therewith
,

close
them
,

will
not
behold
the
Majesty

make
use

prepared

they
should
see
with

of

are

we
may
herein
perceive

see
,
that
God
hath
no
pleasure
in
the
destruction
of
such
:
He
would
have
all
men
to
be
saved
,
and
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
:
And
much
rather
unwilling
is
he
,
that
those
little
ones
should
return
unto
,

remain
in
blindness

have
known

no

in
him
we

see

May
we
not
herein
read
,
and
be
assured
of
his
gracious
heart
towards
us
,
and
know
that
he
hath
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
him
that
dieth
,
though
he
be
rebuking
and
threatning
of
them
?

Oh
that
we
may
never
despise
such
testimonies
of
Love
,
and
riches
of
goodness
,
but
that
we
may
thereby
be
led
to
repentance
;
and
moved
and
prevailed
with
thankfully
to
accept
of
his
abundant
grace

It
may
also
be
useful
unto
us
to
perswade
,
and
prevail
with
us
,
to
suffer
the
word
of
exhortation
,
and
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
.
Let
us
not
by
observing
lying
vanities
forsake
our
own
mercy
;
but
be
we
exhorted
to
receive
and
keep
our
fathers
commandment
,
and
forsake
we
not
the
law
of
our
mother
;
but
let
us
bind
them
continually
upon
our
heart
(
like
a
Salve
to
a
Sore
)
and
●ye
them
about
our
neck
,
that
they
may
lead
us
,
and
guide
us
;
for
the
commandment
is
a
lamp
,
and
the
law
light
,
Prov.

He
is
a
gracious
Counsellour
,
who
giveth
to
us
this
good
counsel
;
one
who
hath
given
intallible
proof
of
the
truth
and
sincerity
of
his
love
to
us
,
in
that
he
laid
down
his
life
for
us
,
that
he
might
take
it
up
again
:
And
who
is
desirous
of
our
good
,
and
would
not
that
we
should
continue
in
our
blindness
and
ignorance
;
and
hath
therefore
prepared
for
us
,
and
is
bringing
nigh
to
us
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
might
make
use
of
it
,
that
we
might
embrace
it
,
and
our
hearts
might
retain
his
words
,
that
we
might
live
.
Consider
we
the
easiness
of
his
Yoke
,
and
lightness
of
his
Burden
which
he
putteth
upon
us
.
His
Commandment
herein
is
not
grievous
;
he
doth
not
require
we
should
purge
away
our
sin
by
Sacrifice
,
or
make
our
peace
with
God
by
any
wisdom
or
strength
of
ours
:
He
calleth
not
upon
us
to
get
and
provide
for
our selves
Eye-salve
,
or
to
go
and
seek
it
we
know
not
where
.
We
might
then
say
,
Alas
,
we
are
blind
and
poor
,
how
should
we
do
such
things
!
But
behold
the
easiness
of
his
requirings
;
he
onely
saith
,
Anoint
thine
eyes
with
Eye-salve
;
apply
it
,
and
let
it
not
depart
from
thine
eyes
.
If
he
had
commanded
us
some
hard
thing
,
there
had
been
reason
sufficient
for
us
to
have
done
it
,
if
possible
;
because
our
good
is
so
much
concerned
herein
,
and
ours
onely
:
For
it
doth
not
adventage
him
at
all
;
how
much
rather
when
he
saith
,
Anoint
and
see
,

Let
us
then
hear
his
counsel
,
and
receive
his
instruction
,
that
we
may
be
wise
in
the
latter
end
,
Prov.

Or
otherwise
we
must
needs
be
,
and
remain
in
a
miserable
condition
.
And
this
will
further
appear
in
the
last
Particular
;
viz.
—
3.
That
to
the
end
Christs
Angels
and
Churches
may
win
him
,
and
those
heavenly
Treasures
hid
in
him
,
it
is
needful
,
That
they
anoint
their
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
they
may
see
.
This
is
intimated
to
us
in
the
counsel
here
given
;
and
in
the
end
of
it
.
And
indeed
this
branch
of
the
counsel
may
give
answer
unto
,
and
remove
a
doubt
,
that
may
be
,
and
arise
in
our
jealous
hearts
,
on
the
hearing
of
this
counsel
given
to
such
wretched
piteous
persons
as
these
were
:
For
they
might
be
ready
to
say
,
—
Question
.
How
may
we
be
perswaded
to
believe
the
contents
of
this
Counsel
?
This
Counsellour
threatneth
to
spue
us
out
of
his
mouth
,
and
telleth
us
that
we
are
poor
miserable
creatures
;
and
speaketh
as
if
he
were
highly
offended
with
us
,
and
greatly
incensed
against
us
:
How
can
we
then
believe
that
he
should
in
earnest
propose
to
us
such
enriching
gold
,
and
such
excellent
raiment
,
as
is
here
commended
to
us
?
Whence
should
such
grace
be
to
such
unworthy
ill
deserving
ones
as
we
are
?
It
is
possible
that
that
which
he
here
calleth
upon
us
to
buy
,
is
nothing
else
but
counterfeit
,
and
not
so
excellent
as
he
would
perswade
us
it
is
;
how
shall
we
know
whether
this
be
right
gold
,
or
such
excellent
raiment
,
as
it
is
signified
to
be
?
Answer
.
To
give
answer
to
such
a
jealousie
,
and
suspicious
thought
,
this
may
be
added
;
or
however
it
is
proper
to
purge
it
out
of
us
.
It
is
indeed
admirable
grace
,
excellent
loving
kindness
,
such
as
cannot
be
expressed
or
conceived
;
and
it
may
well
be
marvellous
in
our
eyes
,
if
it
be
duly
considered
by
us
,
Psal.
36.
7.
But
yet
to
the
end
we
might
be
assured
of
,
and
satisfied
in
the
goodness
and
reality
of
the
Treasures
here
commended
to
us
;
before
he
requireth
us
to
buy
,
he
first
,
in
order
of
nature
,
willeth
us
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
.
He
might
upon
his
own
authority
,
as
being
our
Lord
,
have
commanded
us
to
buy
,
and
to
have
depended
wholly
upon
his
word
for
what
he
saith
,
without
seeing
with
our
eyes
;
but
he
condescendeth
to
us
in
a
more
gracious
way
,
and
instructeth
us
to
open
our
eyes
that
we
might
be
satisfied
.
And
in
some
sort
,
though
not
fully
,
he
dealeth
with
us
as
he
did
with
Thomas
,
when
he
was
so
slow
of
heart
to
believe
;
yea
,
resolved
not
to
believe
that
Christ
was
raised
again
,
except
he
saw
such
things
as
might
remove
all
doubtfulness
out
of
him
;
our
Saviour
was
then
pleased
to
give
him
such
an
evident
demonstration
,
and
infallible
proof
of
the
truth
of
what
he
was
doubtful
concerning
,
that
he
crieth
out
,
as
one
abundantly
convinced
of
his
former
evil
;
My
Lord
,
and
my
God
:
So
in
some
sort
he
dealeth
here
;
though
he
presenteth
not
himself
to
our
bodily
eyes
,
yet
he
counselleth
us
to
anoint
the
eyes
of
our
understanding
,
that
we
may
see
,
and
might
no
longer
have
any
doubtfulness
remain
in
us
,
John

In
this
Instruction
then
let
us
consider
these
two
things
which
are
needful
to
be
spoken
to
.
—
-
1.
What
is
that
we
should
anoint
our
eyes
for
,
that
we
may
see
?
-
2.
Why
is
it
needful
to
anoint
our
eyes
herewith
,
that
we
may
see
?
1.
What
is
that
we
should
anoint
our
eyes
for
,
that
we
may
see
?
What
is
it
that
is
needful
to
be
seen
by
us
?
To
this
we
may
say
,
it
is
needful
to
our
buying
those
excellent
Treasures
,
to
see
—
1.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself
,
and
that
durable
riches
and
righteousness
in
him
;
and
the
means
whereby
he
is
become
such
a
rich
treasury
and
store-house
of
all
the
fulness
of
grace
and
truth
,
that
of
his
fulness
we
might
receive
,
and
grace
for
grace
;
to
wit
,
his
humbling
himself
,
and
becoming
obedient
to
death
,
the
death
of
the
cross
;
for
all
this
is
the
price
of
his
blood
,
and
procurement
of
his
sufferings
for
us
.
This
is
needful
for
us
to
see
,
even
those
heavenly
and
blessed
commodities
that
are
here
to
be
bought
by
his
Angels
and
Churches
;
It
is
but
a
reasonable
thing
we
should
see
what
we
are
invited
to
buy
in
parting
with
all
for
;
And
Christ
,
and
the
unsearchable
riches
of
him
are
discovered
to
us
in
,
and
by
this
eye-salve
,
the
testimony
of
Jesus
,
and
we
are
thereby
inabled
to
behold
them
.
As
well
as
also
,
here
is
shewn
unto
us
the
abasement
of
Christ
,
where-through
he
hath
obtained
all
things
into
his
hand
for
us
;
here
we
may
see
the
great
sufferings
he
indured
for
us
;
so
the
Apostle
signifieth
,
that
in
this
Gospel
,
Jesus
Christ
was
evidently
set
forth
crucified
,
before
their
eyes
,
the
eyes
of
their
souls
.
Gal.

So
the
Author
〈◊〉
the
Hebrews
saith
,
we
see
Jesus
,
who
was
made
a
little
lower
then
the
Angels
,
that
by
the
grace
of
God
he
should
tast
death
for
every
man
.
Heb.
2.
9.
Here
we
may
see
,
that
he
who
was
in
the
form
of
God
,
and
thought
it
no
robbery
to
be
equal
with
God
,
made
himself
of
no
reputation
,
and
was
made
flesh
.

That
he
bare
our
sins
in
his
own
body

And
the
great
sorrows
and
sufferings
which
he
indured
for
our
sakes
,
how
he
was
tormented
for
our
transgressions
,
bruised
for
our
iniquities
;
how
his
soul
was
in
hell
,
and
his
flesh
in
the
grave
;
that
he
indured
such
great
sorrows
,
that
there
was
no
sorrow
like
unto
his
sorrow
,
wherewith
the
Lord
afflicted
him
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
wrath
.
Lam.
1.
12.
Here
we
may
also
see
the
preciousness
of
his
sufferings
and
blood
,
whereby
he
hath
redeemed
us
from
the
curse
of
the
Law
;
and
obtained
into
himself
eternal
life
,
eternal
redemption
,
a
full
,
and
compleat
treasury
of
all
things
that
pertain
to
life
and
godliness
;
and
his
beauty
and
glory
,
his
excellency
and
comeliness
is
here
presented
to
us
,
that
it
might
be
seen
by
us
:
Here
we
may
see
Jesus
,
who
was
made
a
little
while
inferiour
to
the
Angels
,
crowned
with
glory
and
honour
.
Heb.
2.

Here
with
open
face
,
as
in
a
glass
,
we
may
behold
the
glory
of
the
Lord
.

Here
we
may
see
that
he
is
become
a
good
foundation
of
faith
,
a
rich
fountain
of
all
spiritual
and
eternal
blessings
;
wisdome
,
and
righteousness
,
and
sanctification
,
and
redemption
;
That
he
is
more
precious
then
rubies
,
and
that
all
the
things
we
can
desire
are
not
to
be
compared
unto
him
.

he
is
more
glorious

excellent

is
more
precious

that
looketh
up

hath
everlasting
life

we
may

that

;
that
he
is
altogether
lovely
,
and
that
none
are
to
be
compared
unto
him

us
in

testimonies

testimony

mouth

calleth
upon

It
evidently
appeareth
therefore
,
that
it
was
needful
they
should
anoint
their
eyes
with
this

that
they
might
see
this

hath

directed
unto
by

All
agree
in
one
concerning
him

to
the
end
we
might
see

believe
in
him
,
who
hath
so
testified
his
love
towards

to
lay
down
his

he
might

is
through

his

exalted

And
that
this
is
the
object
which
they
are
called
upon
,
and
counselled
to
see
and
behold
;
and
to
that
end
to
anoint
their
eyes
with
this
eye-salve
,
appeareth
from
the
scope
of
the
place
we
are
speaking
unto
:
For
here
the
faithful
counsellor
had
been
commending
unto
them
,
and
counselling
them
to
buy
gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
that
they
might
be
rich
;
and
white
raiment
,
that
they
might
be
clothed
,
and
that
the
shame
of
their
nakedness
might
not
appear
.
And
now
he
addeth
,
anoint
—
that
thou
maist
see
,
to
wit
,
this
gold
,
and
how
it
hath
been
tried
,
and
the
excellency
of
it
;
and
this
white
raiment
,
&c.
And
this
is
a
glass
which
discovereth
all
things
to
us
:
Here
we
may
look
upon
those
things
which
cannot
be
seen
with
the
bodily
eye
.

As
Moses
by

in

as

saw

So
may
we
behold
and
see
in
this
word
of
faith
(
which
is
the
evidence
of
things
not
seen
.
Heb.

)
the
preciousness
of
the
blood
of

,
and
his
excellency
and
fitness
for
us
,
and
for
our
helpfulness

by

thereof

To
the
end
we
may
buy
this
gold
,
and
white
raiment
,
and
thereto
sell
all
that
we
have
;
needful
it
is
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
eye-salve
that
we
may
see
;
namely
,
that
we
may
see
the
vileness
,
and
odiousness
of
our
sins
,
which
are
to
be
abhorred
by
us
;
And
the
emptiness
and
unprofitableness
of
our
idols
,
which
we
are
to
abstain
from
,
that
we
may
have
these
excellent
and
durable
commodities
here
commended
to
us
;
for
while
we
are
ignorant
hereof
,
we
shall
be
ready
to
think
that
we
part
with
,
is
better
then
that
which
is
commended
to
,
and
set
before
us
:
While
we
remain
in
our
blindness
,
we
are
ready
and
apt
to
mistake
;
and
to
call
evil
good
,
and
good
evil
;
and
to
set
our
hearts
upon
that
which
will
not
profit
;
yea
,
to
cleave
unto
that
which
will
destroy
us
in
conclusion
if
it
be
not
parted
with
,
and
fled
from
:
While
persons
are
in
darkness
,
they
are
under
the
power
of
Satan
,
and
led
captive
by
him
at
his
pleasure
.
Acts

So
much
the
Apostle
signifieth
concerning
the
Gentiles
that
remained
in
darkness
,
when
he
saith
;
they
have
their
understandings
darkened
,
being
alienated
from
the
life
of
God
through
the
ignorance
that
is
in
them
,
because
of
the
blindness
of
their
heart
;
who
being
past
feeling
,
have
given
themselves
over
unto
lasciviousness
,
to
work
all
uncleanness
with
greediness
;
as
if
nothing
were
pleasurable
unto
them
,
but
what
is
abominable
.
Ephes.
4.
17-19
.
So
the
Apostle
speaking
of
the
believing
Gentiles
saith
,
that
in
times
past
(
namely
when
they
were
darkness
)
they
walked
according
to
the
course
of
this
world
,
according
to
the
Prince
of
the
power
of
the
Air
,
the
spirit
that
now
worketh
(
rulingly
,
and
prevailingly
)
in
the
children
of
disobedience
.

But
to
this
we
may
add
more
afterwards
.
Now
therefore
it
is
needful
that
we
see
our
sins
,
and
vanities
,
that
we
may
be
willing
to
part
with
,
and
relinquish
them
:
and
with
this
eye-salve
in
the
testimony
of
Christ
we
may
see
:
Therein
all
things
that
are
reproved
,
are
made
manifest
by
the
light
;
the
light
doth
faithfully
discover
them
in
their
right
and
proper
colours
,
to
the
end
we
might
stand
up
from
them
,
and
might
flee
from
our
iniquities
and
idols
.
Ephes.

11-14
.
And
indeed
the
holy
Spirit
,
that
breatheth
in
this
testimony
,
doth
in
,
and
with
glorifying
Christ
,
and
discovering
the
transcendent
excellency
of
him
,
shew
unto
us
also
the
sinfulness
of
sin
;
and
the
emptiness
of
all
those
objects
in
which
naturally
we
are
seeking
rest
;
and
on
which
we
are
placing
our
affections
;
that
we
might
turn
from
our
vanities
unto
him
,
who
is
worthy
to
be
cleaved
unto
by
us
.
So
when
the
Lord
by
the
Prophet
saith
,
Behold
they
are
all
vanity
,
their
works
are
nothing
,
their
molten
images
are
wind
and
confusion
;
He
then
addeth
,
Behold
my
Servant
whom
I
uphold
,

unto

sins
,
that
we
might
see
,

behold
it
,
that
we
might
abhort
and
abominate
them
;
in
that
God
hath
taken
such
vengeance
on
them
in
the
person
of
his
son
,
who
knew
no
sin
:
Though
God
testified
of
him
that
he

Son
,
in
whom
he
was
well
pleased
,
yet
when
but
the
guilt
of
our
sin
was
imputed
to
him
,
he
spared
him
not
,
but
condemned
our
sin
in
his
flesh
:
It
pleased
the
Lord
to
bruife
him
,
He
did
put
him
to
grief

How
shall
we
that
are
dead
to
sin
,
live
any

therein

And
here
may
we
also
see
the
necessity

our
being

that

is
become
such
a
fountain
through
his
blood
for
cleansing
us

we
may
also
see
the
vanity
of
our

our
vileness
in
serving
them
;
that
we
might
turn
there-from
to
God

to
serve
the
living

true

saith
our
Saviour
:
Here
you
may
take
a
view
,
and
have
a
discovery
of
it
,
in
that
those
that
were
Princes
of
the
World
for
wisdom
,
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory
;
and
were
also
,
before
his
hour
was
come
,
the
greatest
enemies
to
him
;
and
thought
that
their
taking
him
out
of
the
way
,
and
killing
him
,
would
much
have
tended
to
their
security
,
when
as
,
on

,
it

destruction

may

that
he
only
could
,

hath
brought
in

,
everlasting
righteousness
;

there
was

here
we
may
also
see
the
vanity

helplesness
of
the
riches
of
this
world
;
in
that
we
were
not
redeemed
with
corruptible
things
,
as

:
They
that
trust
in
their
riches

boast
themselves
in

;
none

can
by

of

,
in
that
our
Lord
Jesus
neither
had
,
nor
would
accept
of
it
:
But
he
was
rejected
and
despised
of
men
,
a
worm
and
no
man

a
reproch
of

despised
of

they

Yea
,
in

by
this
one
thing
,
by
this
unction
,
we
may
know
all
things
that
are
needful
to
be
known
by
us
,
and
see
them
in
their
right
colours
:
Hence
the
Apostle
determined
to
know
nothing
in

unto
all
things
,
but
Jesus
Christ
,
and
him
crucified

1

And
it
is
needful
we
should
know
the
vileness
of
our
sins

and
the
vanity
and
unprofitableness
of
all
those
objects
on
which
naturally
we
are
placeing
our
affections
;
and
in
which
we
have
been
seeking
rest
,
and
satisfaction
to
our
spirits
.
—

It
was
needful
for
them
to
see
themselves
,
and
to
see
what
manner
of
condition
they
were
in
;
and
what
manner
of
persons
they
were
:
And
to
this
end
,
that
they
might
see
this
,
needful
it
was
they
should
anoint
their
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
they
might
behold
themselves
,
and
know
what
state
they
were
in
:
They
were
at
present
very
much
mistaken
;
they
thought
their
condition
was
very
good
,
and
that
they
were
so
happy
that
they
needed
nothing
,
but
this
was
the
fruit
of
their
blindness
and
ignorance
;
for
had
they
viewed
themselves
in
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
they
might
have
perceived
it
was
far
otherwise
with
them
.
And
indeed
this
is
generally
the
fruit
of
mens
blindness
;
they
are
many
times
pure
in
their
own
eyes
,
who
are
not
washed
from
their
filthiness
.
Prov.
30.

Such
fools
are
men
,
that
all

own
eyes

Prov.

And
they
who
have
not
the
love
of
God
in
them
,
yet
think
that
eternal
life
appertaineth
to
them
.
Joh.

39-42
.
It
is
therefore
a
very
ignorant
and
false
saying
of
those
men
,
who
tell
us
,
that
what
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
the
believing
Jews
before
the
Gospel
was
received
by
them
,
to
wit
,
that
they
were
the
children
of
wrath
by
nature
even
as
others

only
meant

of
what
they
were
in

For
they
who
are
furthest
off
from
the
light
do
least
of
all
know
themselves
:
And
are
most
ready
to
be
highly
thoughted
of
themselves
,
while
yet
they
are
most
miserable
:
Who
were
more
confident
of
the
goodness
of
their
condition
,
then
were
the
Pharisees
:
who
yet
generally
were
furthest
off
from
the
kingdom
of
God
,
further
off
then
were
the
Pulicans
and
Harlots

Child

wrath

did
not
think
so
,
when
he
was

was

had
confidence
in

And
so
it
is
more
generally
true
:
Such
as
kill
,
steal
,
commit
adultery
,
swear
falsly
,
and
burn
incense
to
other
Gods
,
will
yet
cry
,
the
temple
of
the
Lord
are
we
,
until
they
are
convinced
by
the
light
of
Gods
testimony
.

Such
can
in
words
make
their
boast
of
God
,
and
call
him
father
,
who
are
of
their
father
the
Devil
;
and
say
,
they
hope
to
be
saved
by
Christ
,
as
well
as
any
others
:
And
call
their
doing
the
works
of
the
flesh
,
their
infirmities
and
weaknesses
,
and
that
they
are
herein
like
to
Paul
when
he
saith
,
the
evil
I
would
not
,
that
do
I
;
in
which
they
lie
,
and
speak
not
the
truth
;
and
yet
thus
they
deceive
themselves
.

And
,
as
hath
been
said
,
this

were
greatly
deceived

did
deceive
themselves

in
thinking
themselves
to
be
something
when
they
were

And
it
was
therefore
needful
for
them
,

is
so
for
us
also
,
to
know
our selves
,
and
our
estate
and
condition
:
And
this
is
made
known
to
us
,
and
we
may
see
it
in
and
by
this
Eye-salve
,
this
testimony
of
Jesus
,
in
and
by
which
all
things
are
discovered

made

He
that

he
hath
this
great
advantage
given
him
in
hearing
,
that
he
may
see

behold
himself
:
He
that
is
an
hearer
only
is
like
unto
a
man
beholding
his
natural
face
in
a
glass
:
For
he
beholdeth
himself
,
and
seeth
what
manner
of
person
he
is
,
though
he
liketh
not
the
discovery
which
is
there
given
of
him
;
and
therefore
he
goeth
his
way
,
and
then
forgetteth
what
manner
of
person
he
was
,
the
which
before
he
was
inabled
to
see
by
that
glass

He
that
doth
evil
hath
,
in

by
the
light
,
while
it
is
vouchsafed
,
a
discovery
made
of
himself
,
and
of
his
works
,
to
the
end
he
might
continue
beholding
,
and
so
cleanse
himself
from
what
is
reproved
.
That
he
might
turn
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
love
light
more
then
darkness
;
but
in
going
on
to
do
evil
,
to
make
a
trade
of
it
,
he
hateth
the
light
,
neither
cometh
he
to
the
light
,
lest
his
deeds
should
be
reproved
and
discovered
;
for
he
is
convinced
of
the
impartiality
of

for
such
folly
he
is
condemned

In
this
light
then
let
us
behold
our selves
;
and
with
this
Eye-salve
let
us
anoint
our
eyes
,
that
we
may
know
our selves
:
This
is
a
needful
lesson
to
be
learned
by
us
,
to
know
our selves
;
but
not
the
first
,
as
many
through
mistake
say
:
But
first
,
it
is
needful
to
know
Jesus
Christ
,
and
him
crucified
,
as
declared
in
the
Gospel
;
and
therein
,
and
therewith
we
may
know
our selves

We
our selves
,
saith

were
sometimes
foolish
;
we
did
not
know
Christ
,
nor
God
in
him
,
nor
our selves
,
nor
any
thing
rightly
;
but
he
saved
us
here-from
by
the
washing
of
regeneration
,
and
renewing
of
the
holy
Ghost
:
Even
by
discovering
to
us
,
and
causing
to
appear
before
us
his
kindness
,
and
love
in
Christ
to
man-word

that
plainly

he
is
convinced
of
all
,
he
is
judged
of
all
:
And
thus
are
the
secrets
of
his
heart
made
manifest
;
and
in
this
light
he
beholdeth
himself
,
so
as
he
will
fall
down

and
report
,
that
God
is
in

For
the
word
of

,
the

,
is
quick
and
powerful
;
and
sharper
then

two
edged

,
piercing
even
to
the
dividing
asunder
of
soul
and

is
a
discerner
of

thoughts
and
intents
of
the
heart

Therein
then
let
us
see
and
know
our selves
,
and
behold
what
condition
we
are
in
,
that
if
we
be
like
this
Angel
and
Church
,
we
may
learn
to
be
zealous
,
and
repent
.
And
this
which
hath
been
spoken
,
shall
suffice
to
the
first
inquiry
here
propounded
to
be
considered
,
to
wit
,
What
should
they
anoint
their
eyes
for
,
that
they
might
see
?
And
now
we
come
to
the
second
,
viz.
—
2.
Why
is
it
needful
to
our
buying
,
that
we
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
:
—
To
this
,
in
what
we
have
said
before
,
we
have
spoken
in
some
measure
,
and
shall
therefore
be
the
briefer
in
what
we
shall
further
speak
to
this
Enquiry
.
—
And
so
—
1.
It
is
needful
to
our
buying
,
that
we
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
;
because
the
sight
of
those
things
that
are
before
spoken
to
,
is
very
powerful
to
move
and
prevail
with
us
,
to
receive
this
blessed
and
needful
counsel
here
given
to
us
,
and
to
buy
those
heavenly
commodities
here
proposed
to
,
and
set
before
us
.
The
object
,
and
sight
of
the
eye
,
was
occasionally
the
in
let
to
our
misery
and
calamity
at
first
.
When
the
woman
saw
that
the
tree
was
good
for
food
,
and
that
it
was
pleasant
to
the
eyes
,
and
a
tree
to
be
desired
to
make
one
wise
;
she
took
of
the
fruit
thereof
,
&c.
Gen.

So
now
also
the
objects
of
the
eyes
,
which
are
presented
before
us
in
the
Gospel
,
are
forcible
to
perswade
us
,
and
make
us
willing
to
come
unto
,
and
close
with
Christ
,
when
the
eye
of
the
Soul
is
opened
with
this
Eye-salve
.
The
eye
affecteth
the
heart
,
Lam.
3.

It
inclineth
the
affection
,
and
maketh
us
willing
to
buy
that
,
which
while
we
are
in
ignorance
and
blindness
,
we
care
not
for
,
nor
know
how
duely
to
prize
and
value
.
—
As
to
say
particularly
.
While
we
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
and
see
,
and
continue
looking
upon
the
preciousness
of
the
Bloud
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
it
is
discovered
to
us
in
this
testimony
;
and
his
beauty
and
glory
by
means
thereof
.
While
we
behold
this
Gold
,
this
enriching
Gold
,
and
see
,
and
consider
how
it
hath
been
tried
in
the
fire
,
and
how
proper
it
is
to
make
us
truly
rich
;
and
how
certainly
and
infallibly
it
enricheth
them
that
have
it
,
this
is
apt
and
powerful
to
draw
the
love
and
heart
thereto
,
and
to
cause
us
to
covet
after
it
:
As
it
is
a
powerful
Cord
to
us
naturally
to
draw
our
hearts
to
the
riches
of
this
world
,
to
behold
and
see
them
with
our
eyes
;
As
he
confessed
,
who
said
;
When
I
saw
two
hundred
shekels
of
silver
,
and
a
wedge
of
gold
—
then
I
coveted
them
,
and
took
them
,

So
when
we
see
in
this
Glass
this
excellent
Gold
,
the
price
whereof
is
above
Rubies
,
yea
above
all
the
riches
of
this
world
,
it
is
a
forceable
motive
to
engage
our
hearts
to
seek
to
be
made
partakers
hereof
.
If
thou
knewest
the
gift
of
God
,
saith
our
Saviour
,
and
who
it
is
that
saith
unto
thee
,
give
me
to
drink
,
thou
wouldst
ask
,
&c.

How
did
the
knowledge
and
consideration
of
this
better
and
enduring
substance
in
Heaven
,
make
the
Hebrews
willing
,
in
the
days
of
their
first
Illumination
,
to
take
joyfully
the
spoiling
of
their
goods
,
and
to
endure
reproch
and
shame
,
and
to
be
companions
of
them
that
were
shamefully
intreated
:
Heb.
10.
32-34
.
What
blessedness
did
the
Galatians
speak
of
?
And
how
did
they
turn
from
idols
to
God
:
And
how
ready
would
they
have
been
,
if
it
had
been
possible
to
have
plucked
out
their
eyes
,
and
given
them
unto
them
that
were
instruments
of
preaching
Christ
unto
them
,
when
he
was
evidently
set
forth
before
their
eyes
in
the
testimony
of
Jesus
?
They
were
willing
then
to
part
with
all
for
his
sake
,
Gal.

&
4.
13-15
.
And
was
it
not
the
excellency
of
the
knowledge
of
Christ
,
that
made
the
Apostle
willing
to
suffer
the
loss
of
all
things
,
even
of
those
things
also
that
formerly
were
gainful
to
him
;
and
to
count
them
but
dung
,
that
he
might
gain
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
?
Phil.
3.
7-9
.
And
to
this
very
end
,
That
a
nation
he
knew
not
,
and
nations
that
knew
not
him
,
might
run
unto
him
,
he
saith
,
Behold
me
,
behold
me
:
As
intimating
,
That
the
seeing
and
beholding
him
is
very
powerful
and
prevalent
to
overcome
,
and
perswade
us
to
close
with
and
embrace
him
,
Isa.

And
so
the
beholding
and
seeing
this
White
Raiment
,
and
the
excellent
and
useful
nature
and
property
thereof
,
is
proper
and
powerful
to
incline
us
to
seek
that
we
may
have
it
,
that
we
may
be
clothed
therewith
,
that
so
the
shame
of
our
nakedness
may
not
appear
,

Doubtless
the
beholding
with
the
eyes
of
the
understanding
,
that
plenteousness
of
Redemption
in
him
,
even
the
forgiveness
of
our
sins
;
those
Treasures
of
Wisdom
and
Knowledge
hid
in
him
;
that
everlasting
Righteousness
brought
in
by
,
and
treasured
in
him
;
that
eternal
Redemption
obtained
by
his
Bloud
;
that
fulness
of
Grace
,
Truth
,
Spirit
,
and
all
things
pertaining
to
life
and
godliness
prepared
in
him
;
that
Eternal
Life
given
us
in
him
:
As
these
things
are
discovered
to
us
in
the
testimony
,
and
his
compleat
and
unparallell
d
comeliness
and
amiableness
by
means
hereof
,
it
would
enamour
our
hearts
on
him
,
and
inflame
us
with
love
to
him
;
and
even
make
us
sick
of
Love
,
and
unsatisfied
in
our
desires
,
till
we
more
know
him
,
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
;
yea
,
till
we
see
as
we
are
seen
,
and
know
as
we
are

and
be
ever
with

Truly
the

sweet
,
and
a
pleasant
thing
it
is
for
the
eyes
to
behold
the
sun
,
Eccles.

But
how
much
more
pleasant
and
alluring
is
it
,
to
behold
this
Pearl
of
great
price
,
this
Sun
of
Righteousness
,
this
Robe
of
Salvation
,
this
excellent
one
,
who
is
fairer
then
the
children
of
men
;
yea
,
who
is
the
true
God
,
and
eternal
life
!
And
how
powerful
is
the
sight
of
him
,
to
keep
us
from
our
sins
and
idols
:
1
John
5.
20
,
21
—
So
also
the
seeing
our
sins
and
idols
,
as
discovered
in
his
Cross
and
Testimony
,
is
very
powerful
to
move
us
to
cast
them
away
,
and
part
with
them
,
as
hath
been
also
in
part
signified
before
:
There
sin
is
rendred
most
abundantly
sinful
,
and
our
idols
most
evidently
unprofitable
and
vain
:
Hence
the
Apostle
saith
,
Whosoever
abideth
in
Christ
,
in
the
sight
and
knowledge
of
him
,
as
appeareth
by
the
opposition
,
sinneth
not
:
Though
sin
be
in
him
,
and
moving
for
service
,
yet
he
doth
not
commit
it
;
He
doth
not
willingly
yield
up
his
mind
or
members
to
the
service
thereof
:
And
on
the
other
hand
,
Whosoever
sinneth
,
hath
not
seen
him
,
nor
known
him
.
He
hath
not
anointed
his
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
he
might
see
;
nor
seen
with
his
eyes
as
thus
anointed
:
He
that
doth
evil
,
hath
not
seen
God
,
1
John

John

He
that
seeth
,
and
abideth
in
the
sight
of
,
the
end
wherefore
he
was
manifested
,
to
wit
,
to
take
away
our
sins
;
and
of
his
faithfulness
therein
;
for
in
him
is
no
sin
:
he
that
beholdeth
and
considereth
the
bitter
Cup
Christ
drank
off
,
and
the
shameful
,
cruel
,
accursed
death
he
died
for
our
sins
,
who
was
the
Son
of
God
,
to
the
end
he
might
redeem
us
from
all
iniquity
;
and
what
a
Fountain
he
is
become
,
in
whom
is
all
forgiveness
,
righteousness
,
rest
,
refreshing
,
washing
and
cleansing
,
eternal
life
,
&c.
Such
an
one
is
preserved
from
sowing
to
,
and
siding
with
that
sin
that
dwelleth
in
him
;
he
getteth
an
escape
,
and
fleeth
from
the
pollutions
of
the
world
,
through
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ

So
much
the
Apostle
James
also
signifieth
,
when
he
saith
,
Whose
looketh
into
the
perfect
law
of
liberty
,
and
continueth
,
he
being
not
a
forgetful
hearer
of
the
word
,
but
a
doer
of
the
works
,
this
man
shall
be
blessed
in
his
deed
.
The
man
that
continueth
looking
in
this
Glass
,
this
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
is
a
doer
;
he
layeth
apart
all
filthiness
,
and
superfluity
of
naughtiness
,
as
it
is
discovered
,
and
made
to
swim
aloft

This
truth
known
maketh
him
free
from
the
bondage
and
slavery
of
his
sins
,

And
he
is
made
willing
by
these
arguments
contained
in
the
Gospel
,
to
sell
and
part
with
his
iniquities
and
abominations
,

And
so
also
,
in
beholding
Christ
crucified
,
and
looking
upon
the
Cross
of

was

and
beheld
in

by
them
,

The
seeing
our
sins
and
idols
in
this
testimony
,
will
make
us
willing
to
sell
them
,
and
part
with
them
,
that
we
may
have
and
enjoy
this
Gold
and
White
Raiment
.
In
like
manner
,
the
beholding
and
seeing
in
,
and
with
this
Eye-salve
,
what
a
sad
condition
we
are
in
without
Christ
,
and
without
this
durable
riches
and
righteousness
here
presented
to
us
▪
this
is
a
powerful
argument
to
engage
and
move
us
to
seek
the
Lord
while
he
may
be
found
,
that
we
may
win
him
,
and
be
found
in
him
,
and
be
made
partakers
of
him
,
in
whom
there
is
blessing
prepared
for
all
the
kindreds
of
the
earth
,
Acts

The
seeing
and
considering
,
that
without
him
we
are
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
,
and
naked
,
and
undone
creatures
;
and
that
abig
ding
such
,
we
shall
be
spued
out
of
his
mouth
,
and
become
miserable
for
ever
;
for
nothing
besides
him
will
secure
from
evil
,
and
satisfie
us
with
good
.
This
is
a
forcible
motive
and
argument
to
move
us
to
be
hot
and
fervent
in
Spirit
,
that
we
may
buy
of
him
those
inestimable
Treasures
here
counselled
unto
,
which
only
will
render
us
blessed
and
happy
in
the
enjoyment
of
them
:
As
it
appeareth

it

It
is
also
needful
for
us
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
;
because
not
onely
are
there
such
powerful
arguments
proposed
to
,
and
set
before
us
in
this
testimony
of
Christ
,
to
move
us
,
and
make
us
willing
to
buy
:
But
also
there
is
a
mighty
and
supernatural
power
put
forth
in
,
and
with
these
arguments
in
this
Gospel
to
convert
us
,
and
to
turn
us
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
unto
God
;
and
so
from
our
sins
and
idols
unto
the
living
and
true
God
,
Acts
26.
18-23
.
The
Gospel
of
Christ
is
the
power
of
God
;
his
arm
and
power
is
put
forth
therein
to
effect
in
us
what
he
requireth
of
us
,
Rom.

His
hand
and
mighty
power
is
stretched
forth
herein
all
the
day
long
,
to
enable
us
to
turn
to
him
in
and
at
his
reproofs
;
and
to
cast
away
our
sins
and
abominations
out
of
his
sight

Not
onely
is
the
Gospel
the
instrument
he
maketh
use
of
to
glor●●●e
his
Son
in
and
by
,
and
to
shew
us
the
vileness
and
vanity
of
all
other
things
:
but
it
is
that
also
which
he
accompanieth
with
the
power
and
presence
of
his
Spirit
:
So
that
he
that
rejecteth
,
rejecteth
not
man
simply
,
but
God
,
who
giveth

And
hence
these
weapons

the
arguments
of
the
Gospel
are
mighty
,
mighty
through
God
,
to
the
pulling
down

In

what
he
hath
done
for
us
,
and
is
become
,
and
what
is
treasured
up
for
us
in

;
and
therein
seeing
our
sins
and

,
and
in
how
sad
a
condition
we
are
without
him
;
God
is
saving
us
from
our
iniquities
and
vanities
,
and
enabling
us
to
run
from
them
to
Christ
.
To
this
end
his
grace
bringeth
salvation
in
due
time
to
all
men
,
saving
strength

Tit.

Hence
he
saith
,
Look
unto
me
all
the
ends
of
the
earth
,
and
be
ye
saved
:
Not
,
Save
your selves
;
But
,
Be
ye
saved

As
intimating
,
in
our
looking
unto
him
,
to
enable
us
whereto
also
he
is
preventing
us
with
power
,
God
is
saving
us
,
that
we
might
be
saved

To
the
same
purpose
also
the
Apostle
saith
,
We
all
(
not
some
of
us
onely
,
but
we
all
)
with
open●face
as
in
a
glass
,
beholding
the
glory
of
the
Lord
,
are
changed
,
not
change
our selves
,
but
we
are
transformed
,
changed
out
of
one
form
into
another
,
from
the
love
and
service
of
our
sins
and
vanities
,
and
out
of
our
miserable
condition
into
his
image
,
even
as
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
who
is
in
,

with
this
object
as
declared

discovered
to
us

God
in

by
his
Spirit
is
so
present
in

that

The
hand
of
the
Lord
is
put
forth
in
,
and
present
with
the
arguments
of
the
glorious
Gospel
,
to
convert
and
turn
us
from
our
evils
and
vanities
unto
Christ
,
and
to
make
us
willing
,
who
naturally
are
without
an
heart
,

unwilling
to
gain

buy
Christ
,
and
the
unsearchable
riches
of
him

It
therefore
evidently
appeareth
,
that

very
needful
for
us
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve

that
we
may

And
on
the
other
hand
,
it
is
needful
for
us
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
in
seeing
see
the
excellency
of
Christ
,
and
vileness
,
and
unprofitableness
of
all
other
things
,
to
the
end
we
may
part

them
for
him

or
otherwise
we
shall
be
,

abide
under
the
power
of
Satan
,
as
hath
been
also
before
said
.
He
hath
his
power
in
darkness
;

while
men
remain
blind

he
can
deceive
them
,

lead
them
captive
at

pleasure

Hence
it
is
said
,
those
evil
principalities

are
the
rulers
of
the
darkness
of
this
world
;
he
ruleth
and
prevaileth
over
them
who
remain
in

,

serveth
himself
of
them
,
making
them
do
his
lusts

requirings

He
so
blindeth
the
minds
of
them
that
believe
not
,
that
anoint
not
their
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
the
Light
of
the
glorious
Gospel
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
image
of
God
,
may
not
shine
unto
them
;
that
they
may
not
perceive
his
excellency
and
comeliness
.
And
together
herewith
also
,
he
commendeth
,
and
rendreth
excellent
,
needful
,
and
pleasurable
the
things
which
indeed
are
vile
,
evil
,
and
abominable
;
For
he
is
the
God
of
this
world
,
of
such
as
are
,
and
remain
in
ignorance
,
2

He
prevailingly
perswadeth
them
,
that
the
lust
of
the
flesh
,
the
lust
of
the
eyes
,
and
the
pride
of
life
,
are
most
desireable
,
and
worthy
to
be
earnestly
sought
after
,
and
affectionately
embraced
by
us
;
and
that
no
fruit
is
so
good
and
pleasant
,
and
worthy
to
be
sed
on
by
us
,
as
that
which
is
forbidden
us
of
God
:
For
as
the
Serpent
beguiled
Eve
through
his
subtilty
at
first
,
so
he
is
also
endeavouring
to
deceive
us
,
and
to
corrupt
from
the
simplicity
that
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
2
Cor.
11.

.
And
what
may
he
not
perswade
those
that
are
in
ignorance
to
do
?
And
whither
may
he
not
lead
them
?
Through
ignorance
he
prevailed
with
the
Jews
,
to
prefer
a
murderer
before
the
Prince
of
life
;
and
at
last
to
kill
him
with
wicked
hands

to
follow
all
that

inclination

prefer

giveth

an
account

the
sadness
of
the
condition

himself

others

before
the
Grace

As
intimating
to
us

that
that
leadeth
to
all
that

This
was
doubtless
a
great
cause
of
the
evil
found
with
this
Angel
and
Church
,
of
undervaluing
Christ
,
and
preferring
other
things
before
him
,
to
wit
,
their
blindness
;
they
had
in
a
great
measure
lost
,
or
let
go
the
knowledge
and
sight
of
Christ
,
and
of
all
other
things
as
discovered
in
him
,
which
sometimes
they
had
had
.
—
All
which
shew
unto
us
,
in
some
measure
,
why
it
is
needful
for
us
to
anoint
our
eyes
with
this
Eye-salve
,
that
we
may
see
.
—
And
this
instruction
,
as
thus
spoken
to
,
may
be
usefully
considered
by
us
.
—

To
shew
unto
us
the
great
evil
,
and
sad
judgment
of
them
who
endeavour
to
bring
men
into
,
and
keep
them
in
blindness
and
ignorance
;
these
are
not
like-minded
after
the
example
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
who
instructeth
the
blind
to
anoint
their
eyes
,
that
they
may
see
;
nor
like

who
instructed
the
Believers
,
to
adde
to
their
faith
vertue
,
and
to
vertue
knowledge
;

to
grow
in

endeavoured
their
helpfulness
hereto

But
they
are
rather
like
to
those
thieves
spoken
of

whom
the
Lord
was

is

who
did
steal
away
his
word

like
unto

Saviour
saith

Wo
unto

Lawyers

ye
have
taken
away
the
key
of
knowledge

entred

were
entring

hindred
,

It
sheweth
unto
us
the
wickedness

abominableness
of
that
saying

That
Ignorance
is
the
Mother

Devotion

It
may
be
indeed
the
Mother
of
that
which
they
call
Devotion

to
wit

of
their
Idolatry
and
Superstition
:
But
of
that
which
is
true
Devotion
and
Religion
it
is
not
,
but
an
enemy
thereto
,
and
that
which
keepeth
men
there-from
.
When
the
Believers
to
whom
the
Apostle
Peter
writeth
,
were
in
darkness
,
they
then
walked
in
lasciviousness

lusts
