excellency_n diminish_v by_o all_o his_o suffering_n you_o see_v christ_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n he_o cast_v devil_n out_o of_o man_n and_o they_o obey_v he_o the_o devil_n be_v subject_a

deep_a where_o be_v the_o bucket_n what_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o relieve_v my_o soul_n and_o to_o supply_v my_o want_n believe_v in_o i_o say_v christ_n let_v the_o soul_n look_v on_o christ_n immediate_o as_o the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o this_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v have_v speak_v of_o and_o a_o word_n of_o exhortation_n to_o the_o purpose_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v it_o to_o believe_v in_o christ._n christ._n the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o this_o be_v receive_v christ_n upon_o god_n offer_n of_o he_o god_n offer_v christ_n in_o all_o his_o office_n

be_v the_o answer_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o receive_n now_o you_o must_v know_v there_o must_v be_v a_o right_n propound_v and_o a_o right_n apprehend_v of_o christ._n you_o

the_o world_n now_o these_o must_v all_o be_v take_v away_o and_o a_o man_n must_v resolve_v all_o now_o into_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n speak_v a_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v enough_o against_o a_o thousand_o example_n in_o the_o world_n and_o against_o a_o thousand_o reason_n of_o a_o man_n own_o corrupt_a heart_n this_o be_v to_o receive_v christ_n as_o a_o prophet_n when_o i_o will_v

here_o be_v obedience_n of_o faith_n in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o so_o to_o receive_v christ_n as_o a_o king_n will_v you_o know_v what_o a_o king_n he_o be_v he_o be_v a_o holy_a king_n who_o law_n be_v all_o right_a the_o law_n king_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o righteous_a law_n and_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v obedience_n to_o righteousness_n that_o be_v righteous_a

the_o inward_a man_n to_o conform_v to_o those_o rule_n that_o be_v teach_v by_o christ_n as_o a_o prophet_n the_o soul_n receive_v christ_n as_o a_o king_n give_v itself_o to_o obey_v all_o the_o rule_n and_o direction_n that_o christ_n in_o his_o word_n as_o a_o prophet_n have_v leave_v and_o this_o it_o do_v in_o faith_n that_o be_v look_v upon_o his_o authority_n that_o have_v command_v it_o for_o that_o be_v proper_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n when_o thing_n be_v do_v upon_o this_o ground_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o he_o that_o have_v reveal_v it_o i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v his_o will_n because_o he_o have_v reveal_v it_o and_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n thus_o the_o soul_n resolve_v all_o to_o christ_n as_o a_o prophet_n and_o a_o king_n and_o then_o it_o rest_v on_o he_o as_o a_o priest_n and_o comfort_n itself_o in_o spirit_n priest_n now_o for_o a_o man_n when_o he_o want_v comfort_n he_o must_v not_o separate_v the_o office_n of_o

in_o all_o his_o office_n so_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v entire_a look_v upon_o all_o his_o office_n therefore_o we_o must_v receive_v he_o as_o king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n that_o

do_v come_v to_o the_o main_a matter_n the_o soul_n be_v beat_v off_o as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o boat_n get_v to_o land_n after_o shipwreck_n there_o come_v a_o storm_n and_o beat_v he_o

when_o they_o have_v a_o right_a end_n and_o a_o faithful_o right_a rule_n to_o walk_v by_o what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o rule_v of_o a_o faithful_a steward_n in_o all_o his_o dispensation_n in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o master_n his_o master_n credit_n and_o his_o master_n will_n his_o master_n honour_n and_o his_o master_n command_n so_o it_o must_v be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n if_o

that_o god_n will_v reckon_n have_v with_o his_o steward_n the_o first_o in_o this_o life_n the_o second_o after_o death_n first_o he_o call_v they_o to_o account_v in_o this_o life_n while_o they_o
