this_o prevent_a love_n that_o be_v so_o sweet_a to_o a_o gracious_a soul_n to_o a_o thankful_a heart_n 1._o the_o more_o immediate_o that_o any_o mercy_n do_v come_v out_o or_o god_n hand_n and_o the_o less_o it_o run_v through_o we_o the_o more_o sweet_a it_o be_v water_n be_v sweet_a out_o of_o the_o fountain_n now_o prevent_v mercy_n come_v immediate_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o run_v not_o through_o our_o hand_n at_o all_o nor_o through_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o second_o cause_n at_o all_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o sweet_a but_o second_o the_o more_o costless_a or_o less_o costly_a to_o we_o any_o mercy_n be_v the_o sweet_a it_o be_v possible_o a_o kindness_n may_v cost_v more_o to_o keep_v it_o than_o it_o be_v worth_a suppose_v a_o man_n promise_v i_o or_o give_v i_o wood_n the_o cut_v down_o of_o the_o wood_n and_o bring_v it_o home_o may_v cost_v i_o more_o than_o the_o wood_n be_v worth_a so_o a_o kindness_n may_v cost_v one_o more_o care_n than_o the_o thing_n itself_o do_v amount_v unto_o but_o now_o prevent_v mercy_n cost_v i_o nothing_o it_o be_v cut_v down_o to_o my_o hand_n it_o be_v bring_v into_o my_o hand_n it_o be_v costless_a mercy_n it_o cost_v i_o nothing_o sure_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o sweet_a 3._o but_o then_o again_o three_o the_o more_o perfect_a and_o complete_a and_o entire_a any_o mercy_n be_v the_o sweet_a it_o be_v half-mercy_n be_v not_o so_o sweet_a as_o whole_a prevent_v mercy_n be_v complete_a and_o entire_a in_o the_o 16_o of_o ezek._n you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o complete_a mercy_n be_v there_o give_v i_o wash_v thou_o with_o water_n vers_n 9_o i_o thorough_o wash_v away_o thy_o blood_n and_o i_o anoint_v thou_o with_o ointment_n i_o clothe_v thou_o also_o with_o broydered_a work_n and_o shod_a thou_o with_o badger_n skin_n and_o i_o gird_v thou_o about_o with_o fine_a linen_n and_o i_o cover_v thou_o with_o silk_n i_o deck_v thou_o also_o with_o ornament_n and_o i_o put_v bracelet_n upon_o thy_o hand_n and_o a_o chain_n on_o thy_o neck_n and_o i_o put_v a_o jewel_n on_o thy_o forehead_n and_o earrings_a in_o thy_o ear_n and_o a_o beautiful_a crown_n upon_o thy_o head_n and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o what_o mercy_n be_v this_o it_o be_v prevent_v mercy_n i_o pass_v by_o thou_o and_o see_v thou_o pollute_v in_o thy_o own_o blood_n and_o say_v unto_o thou_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o blood_n live_v yea_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o bloody_a live_v so_o then_o prevent_v mercy_n be_v the_o most_o complete_a mercy_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_o it_o come_v immediate_o out_o of_o god_n hand_n and_o not_o through_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o second_o cause_n that_o that_o come_v immediate_o put_v of_o god_n hand_n not_o run_v through_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v most_o complete_a upon_o this_o account_n our_o justification_n be_v more_o perfect_a and_o complete_a than_o our_o sanctification_n because_o it_o come_v immediate_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o out_o of_o our_o own_o hand_n in_o justification_n our_o guilt_n be_v remove_v in_o sanctification_n our_o filth_n be_v remove_v our_o guilt_n be_v offensive_a to_o ourselves_o our_o filth_n be_v offensive_a to_o god_n now_o one_o will_v think_v god_n shall_v rather_o take_v away_o all_o our_o filth_n that_o be_v offensive_a to_o himself_o than_o all_o our_o guilt_n that_o be_v offensive_a to_o we_o no_o but_o our_o justification_n be_v perfect_a our_o sanctification_n not_o perfect_a why_o because_o our_o justification_n come_v immediate_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o run_v through_o our_o own_o hand_n for_o though_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o faith_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o faith_n be_v god_n instrument_n not_o as_o our_o act_n now_o the_o more_o immediate_o that_o any_o mercy_n come_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o the_o less_o out_o of_o our_o hand_n the_o more_o perfect_a and_o complete_a it_o be_v so_o do_v prevent_v mercy_n do_v and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o sweet_a 4._o again_o four_o the_o more_o that_o any_o mercy_n do_v correct_v difficulty_n and_o sweeten_v duty_n the_o sweet_a be_v that_o mercy_n now_o prevent_v love_n do_v correct_v difficulty_n and_o it_o do_v sweeten_v duty_n see_v it_o in_o zacheus_n what_o a_o hard_a and_o great_a work_n be_v he_o upon_o lord_n say_v he_o the_o half_a of_o my_o good_n i_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a stay_v then_o suppose_v his_o estate_n be_v a_o thousand_o pound_n he_o will_v have_v but_o five_o hundred_o pound_n leave_v and_o lord_n say_v he_o if_o i_o have_v take_v any_o thing_n from_o any_o man_n by_o false_a accusation_n i_o restore_v he_o fourfold_o suppose_v he_o have_v wrong_v man_n to_o the_o value_n of_o a_o hundred_o pound_n there_o be_v four_o hundred_o pound_n more_o go_v so_o there_o be_v but_o a_o hundred_o pound_n leave_v of_o a_o thousand_o what_o a_o hard_a work_n be_v this_o yet_o mark_v how_o easy_o he_o come_v off_o to_o this_o hard_a work_n behold_v lord_n why_o he_o have_v drink_v deep_a of_o prevent_a love_n zacheus_n come_v down_o say_v christ_n for_o to_o day_n i_o must_v abide_v at_o thy_o house_n christ_n do_v not_o come_v and_o say_v zacheus_n give_v half_a thy_o good_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o if_o thou_o have_v wrong_v any_o man_n restore_v he_o fourfold_o and_o then_o i_o will_v come_v to_o thy_o house_n no_o but_o zacheus_n come_v down_o for_o this_o day_n i_o must_v abide_v at_o thy_o house_n prevent_v he_o with_o his_o love_n and_o then_o this_o hard_a work_n come_v off_o easy_o there_o be_v nothing_o will_v correct_v difficulty_n and_o sweeten_v duty_n more_o than_o prevent_v love_n therefore_o prevent_v love_n must_v needs_o be_v sweet_a and_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v what_o there_o be_v in_o prevent_a love_n that_o be_v so_o sweet_a to_o a_o gracious_a soul_n that_o be_v the_o five_o vi_o but_o now_o sixthly_a and_o last_o you_o will_v say_v suppose_v i_o have_v taste_v of_o prevent_a love_n and_o mercy_n suppose_v i_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o it_o for_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v this_o be_v my_o case_n for_o i_o be_v go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o my_o sin_n and_o god_n prevent_v i_o many_o a_o time_n with_o his_o prevent_a grace_n i_o have_v be_v backward_o to_o and_o dull_a in_o duty_n and_o god_n have_v many_o a_o time_n prevent_v i_o with_o assist_a grace_n i_o have_v be_v full_a of_o unbeleef_n and_o say_v i_o be_o cast_v off_o and_o shall_v never_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n again_o but_o the_o lord_n have_v prevent_v i_o with_o his_o comfort_a grace_n and_o with_o the_o shine_v of_o his_o face_n i_o be_v gallop_v to_o hell_n as_o fast_o as_o i_o can_v but_o god_n have_v prevent_v i_o with_o his_o save_a grace_n and_o as_o for_o my_o outward_a estate_n in_o the_o world_n i_o be_v low_a and_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v and_o god_n prevent_v i_o with_o such_o a_o gift_n such_o a_o house_n and_o land_n what_o have_v my_o life_n be_v but_o a_o bundle_n of_o prevent_a mercy_n if_o any_o have_v drink_v deep_a of_o this_o prevent_a grace_n i_o may_v say_v i_o have_v much_o more_o now_o what_o be_v my_o duty_n that_o do_v flow_v from_o hence_o 1._o if_o you_o have_v taste_v of_o god_n prevent_v love_n and_o mercy_n if_o god_n have_v indeed_o prevent_v you_o with_o the_o blessing_n of_o his_o goodness_n why_o then_o shall_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o sense_n thereof_o why_o shall_v not_o your_o thought_n be_v much_o thereupon_o how_o god_n have_v prevent_v you_o at_o such_o a_o time_n in_o such_o a_o thing_n the_o more_o sense_n you_o have_v of_o god_n prevent_v love_n and_o mercy_n the_o more_o humble_o you_o will_v walk_v with_o god_n and_o the_o more_o close_o especial_o consider_v that_o god_n will_v not_o upbraid_v you_o if_o a_o man_n take_v a_o beggar_n from_o the_o dunghill_n and_o make_v she_o his_o wife_n prevent_v she_o with_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n the_o sense_n of_o his_o prevent_a love_n will_v make_v she_o walk_v humble_o all_o her_o day_n unless_o the_o man_n upbraid_v she_o with_o it_o if_o he_o upbraid_v she_o with_o it_o it_o will_v not_o make_v she_o walk_v humble_o but_o unless_o he_o upbraid_v she_o with_o it_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o will_v make_v she_o walk_v humble_o all_o her_o day_n friend_n god_n do_v prevent_v we_o with_o his_o love_n and_o will_v not_o upbraid_v we_o with_o his_o prevention_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o walk_v humble_o and_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o think_v much_o thereon_o and_o have_v our_o heart_n fill_v with_o the_o

moses_n whosoever_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o he_o will_v i_o blot_v ou●_n of_o my_o book_n and_o i_o have_v hear_v thou_o say_v he_o nevertheless_o in_o the_o day_n when_o i_o visit_v i_o will_v visit_v their_o sin_n upon_o they_o now_o jesus_n he_o make_v a_o atonement_n slay_v none_o neither_o do_v god_n the_o father_n make_v any_o reserve_n with_o he_o he_o free_o forgive_v those_o that_o he_o make_v atonement_n for_o all_o at_o once_o without_o any_o reserve_v or_o after_o reckon_n 6._o again_o though_o moses_n be_v a_o mediator_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n stand_v between_o god_n and_o the_o people_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v dead_a he_o do_v intercede_v but_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o intercede_v no_o more_o but_o jesus_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n he_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n 7._o and_o though_o moses_n be_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o they_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v his_o face_n after_o he_o have_v be_v in_o the_o mount_n but_o a_o veil_n be_v put_v upon_o it_o but_o now_o as_o for_o jesus_n we_o see_v his_o glory_n as_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v of_o the_o father_n and_o we_o all_o with_o open_a face_n behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n what_o a_o glorious_a mediator_n have_v we_o now_o what_o a_o bless_a condition_n have_v god_n bring_v his_o people_n to_o now_o friend_n will_v you_o not_o be_v thankful_a for_o this_o mediator_n will_v you_o return_v to_o moses_n now_o what_o have_v such_o a_o mediator_n will_v you_o now_o return_v to_o moses_n and_o be_v legal_a now_o consider_v what_o a_o bless_a state_n you_o be_v now_o bring_v unto_o 2._o but_o second_o if_o we_o be_v now_o come_v unto_o jesus_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o not_o unto_o moses_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o go_v to_o man_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o

and_o may_v we_o not_o have_v recourse_n now_o to_o moses_n for_o the_o ordinance_n and_o worship_n and_o shall_v we_o have_v recourse_n to_o man_n for_o our_o worship_n and_o ordinance_n as_o gersom_a out_o of_o austin_n observe_v one_o commandment_n from_o a_o fellow-servant_n be_v more_o burdensome_a than_o a_o hundred_o from_o the_o master_n and_o moses_n speak_v the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o moses_n tool_n do_v defile_v our_o christian_a altar_n how_o much_o more_o do_v the_o tool_n of_o man_n defile_v our_o altar_n that_o be_v the_o second_o 3._o if_o we_o be_v now_o come_v unto_o jesus_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o despair_v of_o any_o and_o not_o go_v to_o god_n for_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n for_o we_o be_v come_v to_o jesus_n the_o

then_o i_o exhort_v therefore_o that_o supplication_n prayer_n and_o intercession_n be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n for_o king_n even_o for_o nero_n a_o persecutor_n why_o for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n for_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n for_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n three_o sort_n there_o be_v that_o do_v greedy_o snatch_v at_o this_o scripture_n the_o socinian_n and_o the_o arminian_n and_o the_o papist_n the_o socinian_n think_v that_o here_o be_v something_o for_o he_o against_o the_o deity_n of_o christ_n because_o it_o be_v say_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n whereas_o in_o the_o 3d._a verse_n it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n the_o arminian_n think_v there_o be_v some_o ground_n here_o for_o his_o universal_a redemption_n for_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_z whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o do_v explain_v himself_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o this_o all_o that_o be_v all_z both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n for_o say_v he_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n whereunto_o i_o be_o ordain_v a_o preacher_n and_o a_o apostle_n a_o teacher_n of_o the_o gentile_n in_o faith_n and_o verity_n explain_v his_o word_n all_o to_o be_v mean_v both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n the_o papist_n also_o think_v they_o have_v something_o here_o for_o their_o opinion_n who_o hold_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o mediator_n only_o according_a to_o his_o humane_a nature_n for_o it_o be_v say_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n but_o if_o we_o observe_v how_o these_o word_n be_v bring_v in_o we_o find_v it_o be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n why_o for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o discourage_v go_v to_o god_n for_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n for_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n 4._o but_o then_o fourthly_a if_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o jesus_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n why_o then_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o come_v to_o jesus_n if_o you_o be_v come_v why_o shall_v you_o not_o come_v that_o be_v if_o you_o be_v come_v in_o regard_n of_o your_o state_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o come_v in_o regard_n of_o act_n in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_v you_o be_v come_v unto_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o your_o state_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o come_v unto_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o your_o faith_n come_v unto_o he_o in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_v some_o think_v oh_o it_o be_v presumption_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o believe_v and_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n but_o friend_n it_o be_v no_o presumption_n for_o any_o man_n to_o do_v that_o act_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o state_n it_o be_v no_o presumption_n to_o act_v according_a to_o my_o state_n that_o god_n have_v bring_v i_o to_o now_o this_o be_v our_o state_n in_o regard_n of_o state_n we_o be_v come_v to_o jesus_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o come_v to_o jesus_n also_o in_o a_o way_n of_o believe_v especial_o see_v he_o have_v say_v

shall_v we_o not_o all_o stand_v clear_a from_o moses_n and_o come_v full_o off_o to_o jesus_n the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o you_o will_v say_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o
