truth_n for_o which_o end_n have_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o in_o it_o the_o death_n of_o the_o martyr_n have_v clear_o outgo_v it_o but_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o recollect_v ourselves_o

a_o high_a design_n in_o the_o expression_n the_o blood_n of_o abel_n cry_v to_o god_n from_o the_o earth_n for_o vengeance_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o cain_n and_o with_o the_o same_o importunity_n

the_o blood_n of_o abel_n shed_v in_o defiance_n of_o the_o law_n speak_v to_o god_n but_o o_o what_o sweet_a how_o much_o better_a thing_n do_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n speak_v it_o speak_v

than_o to_o be_v trample_v under_o their_o foot_n 4._o that_o this_o blood_n thus_o sprinkle_v be_v considerable_a in_o god_n eye_n as_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o such_o a_o lamb_n so_o choose_v

of_o these_o two_o be_v more_o accept_v of_o god_n he_o that_o perform_v equal_a obedience_n upon_o more_o feeble_a encouragement_n or_o he_o that_o upon_o strong_a motive_n yet_o give_v but_o equal_a

signify_v nothing_o or_o very_o near_o it_o for_o the_o question_n be_v what_o influence_n christ_n active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n have_v upon_o our_o acceptance_n with_o god_n and_o he_o have_v frame_v a_o answer_n to_o another_o question_n what_o influence_n christ_n active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n have_v upon_o our_o obedience_n which_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n if_o christ_n obedience_n have_v any_o influence_n upon_o our_o acceptation_n with_o god_n than_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n must_v accept_v we_o and_o our_o obedience_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n which_o otherwise_o he_o have_v not_o will_v not_o have_v do_v and_o christ_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v something_o which_o have_v such_o a_o influence_n upon_o god_n as_o to_o procure_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n towards_o our_o person_n and_o service_n which_o without_o that_o consideration_n have_v not_o be_v can_v not_o be_v procure_v but_o if_o this_o be_v all_o that_o god_n have_v make_v we_o a_o promise_n to_o accept_v that_o obedience_n for_o christ_n sake_n which_o without_o any_o respect_n to_o christ_n will_v have_v accept_v though_o not_o say_v be_v will_v accept_v then_o if_o our_o obedience_n be_v little_a christ_n will_v not_o make_v it_o repute_v much_o if_o imperfect_a christ_n obedience_n will_v not_o render_v it_o perfect_a and_o thus_o in_o plain_a term_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n and_o righteousness_n of_o his_o life_n procure_v no_o acceptance_n at_o all_o no_o not_o the_o least_o of_o our_o person_n or_o obedience_n with_o god_n 3_o his_o answer_n be_v so_o like_o nothing_o as_o can_v be_v discern_v from_o nothing_o the_o question_n be_v what_o influence_n christ_n righteousness_n and_o sacrifice_n have_v upon_o our_o acceptance_n with_o god_n the_o answer_n be_v god_n for_o christ_n sake_n enter_v into_o a_o new-covenant_n with_o mankind_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v to_o leave_v the_o question_n just_a as_o he_o

sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n have_v upon_o god_n to_o move_v he_o to_o enter_v into_o such_o a_o covenant_n under_o what_o notion_n do_v his_o life_n and_o death_n operate_v upon_o god_n do_v christ_n make_v a_o proper_a reconciliation_n and_o atonement_n with_o god_n be_v his_o death_n a_o proper_a sacrifice_n do_v it_o expiate_v the_o gild_n of_o sin_n no_o not_o a_o syllable_n of_o all_o this_o only_o for_o fashion_n sake_n it_o must_v be_v say_v to_o have_v have_v a_o influence_n though_o what_o it_o be_v or_o how_o it_o have_v that_o influence_n he_o can_v tell_v but_o he_o will_v speak_v to_o these_o thing_n more_o distinct_o 1_o what_o influence_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v upon_o our_o acceptation_n with_o god_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o we_o have_v have_v our_o answer_n and_o must_v sit_v down_o by_o it_o that_o god_n be_v so_o well_o please_v with_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n death_n that_o for_o his_o sake_n he_o enter_v into_o a_o new-covenant_n with_o mankind_n the_o proof_n be_v all_o in_o all_o why_o this_o be_v plain_a say_v he_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o death_n hence_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n heb._n 10._o 29._o it_o be_v plain_a that_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n enter_v into_o this_o covenant_n because_o his_o blood_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o very_o plain_a neither_o a_o man_n may_v possible_o mistake_v it_o for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v say_v to_o satisfy_v he_o well_o but_o then_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o great_a shepherd_n and_o bishop_n of_o soul_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n heb._n 13._o 20._o but_o i_o can_v find_v no_o such_o scripture_n well_o however_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v which_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n heb._n 12._o 24._o which_o be_v a_o allusion_n

expect_v it_o will_v come_v to_o this_o at_o long_o run_v god_n enter_v into_o the_o covenant_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n death_n because_o his_o death_n confirm_v the_o covenant_n a_o very_a trim_a reason_n the_o confirm_v of_o a_o covenant_n suppose_v a_o covenant_n in_o be_v if_o then_o all_o the_o design_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o confirm_v and_o ratify_v a_o covenant_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o god_n do_v enter_v into_o such_o a_o covenant_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o blood_n but_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o i_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a confirmation_n of_o the_o true_a covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o our_o faith_n for_o what_o strong_a confirmation_n can_v the_o most_o jealous_a soul_n desire_v of_o the_o reality_n of_o free_a grace_n promise_v to_o pardon_v sin_n and_o bestow_v eternal_a life_n upon_o believer_n than_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o shall_v first_o take_v

with_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o proposition_n 1._o the_o confirmation_n of_o such_o a_o covenant_n as_o he_o have_v describe_v viz._n a_o promise_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o
