on
the
Excelknrq
of
the
soul,
2
;I
toxemest for
:ixir
foals
;
There mutt bee
the fame
atone-
ment
made
for fouls, both for
the
rich
,
and for the poor.
And
as
wee fpake.the
lait day in
opening
the excellency
of
the
foul,
it
appears by
the price
that
was
paid for it;
fo
here,
they
are
equal in
this
, that the
poor mans
foul
mutt
have
as
great
a
price
paid
to
fave
it,as the richea man in
the
world.
And
therefore
biefs
God
for
thy
foul
in
this ,
that
bee hath
made thee equal
with
the
Kings
and Princes
of
the
:wortl
in
that
that
is
thy
more
noble,and
more
excellent part.
Md
biefs
God for
foul
-
mercies above all
mercies
;
If
the
foul bee
fo excellent
,
then
I
fay
,
biefs
God
that
hada
granted thee
foul
-
mercies though hee
bath
denied thee
bodily-mercies,
it
is
no great
matter;
as
fnppofe,
if
fo bee
that
God fhould
take
away
the
fight
of
thine
eyes
,
yet
if
hee
opens
the
eye; of thine undert+anding, of thy
foul,
thou
art
happy
:
Suppofe
that
thou
art
lame
in thy
body,
yet if
thou
cant+
walk in
the
w ayes
of
Gods
Gotmmnde-
ments,
and
run
there,
thou
art
a
happy
creature:
It
maybe
thou
wanted
food, I,
but if
God feed
thy
foul
with
fptra-
tuai
Manna,
feed
the
every
day with food from
heaven,
and
take
care for
the
feeding
of
thy'foul,thou
artnot
fo
tpt-
ferable
as
thou thought([ thy
feaf;
thou haft
tattered
cloaths,
Lbut if
God
hath provided the righteoufnefs
of
his
Son
to
bee
a
garment to
cloath thy foul
,
every
time
thou
ap-
pearei'cbefore
him,thou art
a
happy
creature in
that, there-
fore
when,
thy
heart
is
ready to murmure
,
that God bath
denied
thee bodily mercies
that
hee hath
granted
to others,
think
with
thy
felf, I
but bath not
God
recompenced mee
in
foul
mercies
?
I
make no
quettion
but
there
are
ma-
ny
fouls
that
biefs
God
that
ever they
have
lived
to
this
rime,
thotgh
they
have fuffered
hard things
for
their
bo-
dies, many
that
have
lot+,
and been plundered of all
,
yet
biefs
God
that
they
have
lived
to
the
timewhereil
there
was
fo
much
plenty
of
the
++,+
of
fouls
:
