on
the
V
tyre
of
God,
to.
commie
icate
its
fell,
God can
let
out
himfelf
to
any
creature
as
much
as bee pleafes
, and
it
is
no
matter
whe-
ther the creature
bee capable or
no,
the Lord can make
it-
capable,and therefore
bee
not
di£couraged becaufe
of
.thy.
weaknefs
;
but
if thou in the
uprightnefs
of
thy heart
doeff:
feek
to
God, and
doelt
delire
to
know
him
above
all
things,.
If
thou
fearche#
after
t
iekporarfidge
of
Gad as
after
fzlver,
thou
fhalt
come,
to
know
God
more
than
ever
thou
diddeft;;
and
certainly
to
have
but
a
few glimpfes-
of
this
infinite
ñrLt
being of
allthings,
it
is
a
kinde of
infinite
fatisfae}ion
unto the
fouls
of the
fervvrits
of God
,
and
though
at
fzrff-
they finde
it
hard
to
know
God
,
yet
by feekií
g
long
after
the knowledge of him,
they' have
found
that
knowledge
of
God
that
they would
not
bee
without
for
ten
thoufand
thoufand
worlds
;
its
only
the
rational
creature that
is
able
to
know any
thing of God at
all
,
and
this
is a
great
part of that
worfhip and homage
you
owe
to God
,
that
you
should
know
him , and
fo,,
that
you
might honour
him
as a
God
, that
you might
glorifie
hirtr
as a
God
oh
nay
brethren
,
how
would people live , had
they
but the
real
fight
of
fuch
a
God with
whom
they
have
to
deal in
all
their
wages
?
when
wee
put
you
upon
the
fearching,
to
know
what
God
is,
wee put
you
not upon
the
.
fearching
to get
nótions,
to
difcourfe
of
Iconfefs-
in the
r'ght
knowledge
of the infinite
firft
being
of
all things,_
there are
molt
excellent
notions
to
bee
learned
, but
that
that
I endeavour
to
put you on
to,
is
this
that
you
might
fearch
to
know this
God
;
to
the end
that
you might fear-
him, and
choofe
him to-bee
your pportion,
that
you,
might
love him
and
ferve
hii
and
blefled is
that
foul
that
í7,all
thus
k
;ow
him-.
