On
the Exceileney
of
Cbráfi.
fland
what
God
is
,
Why
come
to
mee faith Chritl, for all
things
are
given
to
mee,
and if
I
reveal
the Father,
you
.
rlaall
know him
;
therefore
all you
that
labour and
are
heavy
laden
, all
you
that
fee the
need
you have
of the
knowledge
of
my
Father
, and of the
way
of eternal life,
come
to
mee,
and
I
will
reveal thefe things
unto
you, and
fo
will bring reft
unto
your fouls.
Wonderful
is
Chrifl
in
the way
of
his
Adtniniftrations, and
that
is
another
confi.
deration in the Prophetical
Office
of
Chrifl.
s
But further,
Chriftis
a
wonderful Prophet
in this,
that
hee reveals things many
times
fuddenly ,
hee
is
not bound
to
thofe
wayes
that
any
man
or
Angel
is
bound to;
ifa
matt
or
Angel
would
come
to
inflrua
others
in the truths of
the
Gofpel
,
they mutt inflruE them
by
degrees, to underfiand
one
thing
at once,
and another
at
another
time
, and
fo
de-
dua
one thing from another in
that
way
,
but
ChriA
hee
can
make known the things of
eternal life in
an
infant
to
.
the foul. Whofoever
comes
to
Chritl, mutt
bee convinced
of
fin,
and bee
emptied of
himfeif , and bee humbled, all
thefe th
ngs
are
in
every
foul
that
comes
to
Chriti;
now all
thefe things
may
by
one beam
of light
bee wrought
that
Jefus
Chrifi {hail
let
into
the foul.
As
an
Apothecary
may
get the very duinteflence of
all
herbs
in
one
drop
though
you
cannot
fee
the
herbs
:
fo
Jefus Chrift
I
fay, fometimes
by
one beam
of
light lets
in a
hundred truths
into
the
foul,
fo
that
they do
apprehend
the fubflance
of
all thofe parti-
culars
that
are fpoken
of
,
and
there
is a
proportionable
work
upon their hearts
to
bring them to Chrifi
;
is
not
this
a wonderful work
of Chriii
?
that
a
man
that
hath
been
an
ignorant,: fottifh blinde creature,
a
prophane ungodly
man,
hating all godlinefs
,
perhaps
bee comes
to
hear
a
Sermon
meerly
to
fcorn,
as many
have
done,
this
man
comes in
the
very heat
of
his
wickednefs
,
fo
that
a
man would
wonder
that
fome
fruit
of.
Gods wrath comes
not
from heaven
to
f#rike
him
into
the bottomlefs
pit,
yet
it
may bee
at
this
very Sermon,
there fhall bee
fome
one
beam
of
light dart-

his
fpitit,
that
may
work
his
foul
to
heaven,
