rather_o than_o he_o be_v make_v man_n as_o 1._o to_o show_v what_o part_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v of_o his_o mother_n not_o his_o deity_n nor_o his_o soul_n but_o only_o his_o flesh_n 2._o to_o

unite_a to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 3._o christ_n have_v all_o the_o property_n that_o belong_v either_o to_o the_o soul_n or_o body_n of_o a_o man_n nay_o more_o than_o so_o christ_n have_v all_o the_o infirmity_n of_o out_o nature_n sin_n only_o except_v i_o say_v the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o nature_n as_o cold_a and_o heat_n and_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o weariness_n and_o weakness_n and_o pain_n and_o the_o like_a but_o i_o can_v say_v that_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o all_o our_o personal_a infirmity_n infirmity_n be_v either_o natural_a common_a to_o all_o man_n or_o

we_o among_o we_o christ_n be_v not_o thus_o his_o body_n be_v frame_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o the_o pure_a virgin_n blood_n and_o therefore_o i_o question_v not_o it_o be_v proportion_v in_o a_o most_o equal_a symmetry_n and_o correspondency_n of_o part_n he_o be_v fair_a than_o the_o son_n of_o man_n his_o countenance_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o hide_a veil_a star_n like_o brightness_n say_v i_o which_o be_v but_o a_o little_a reveal_v it_o so_o ravish_v his_o disciple_n heart_n that_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n thereof_o they_o leave_v all_o and_o follow_v he_o and_o it_o so_o astonish_v his_o enemy_n that_o they_o stumble_v and_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n so_o then_o he_o have_v not_o our_o personal_a infirmity_n but_o only_o our_o natural_a and_o good_a reason_n for_o indeed_o he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o a_o humane_a person_n but_o only_o a_o humane_a nature_n unite_v to_o the_o person_n of_o his_o godhead_n but_o why_o be_v it_o requisite_a that_o our_o saviour_n shall_v be_v man_n i_o answer_v 1._o because_o our_o saviour_n must_v suffer_v and_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n which_o the_o godhead_n can_v not_o do_v 2._o because_o our_o saviour_n must_v perform_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n which_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o lawgiver_n the_o godhead_n certain_o be_v free_a from_o all_o manner_n of_o subjection_n 3._o because_o our_o saviour_n must_v satisfy_v

and_o the_o fellowship_n of_o his_o suffering_n now_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n i_o be_o make_v conformable_a to_o his_o death_n as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n so_o i_o die_v to_o sin_n and_o

in_o spiritual_a lust_n at_o first_o we_o mortify_v grosser_n evil_n such_o as_o oath_n drunkenness_n uncleanness_n worldly-mindedness_a or_o the_o like_a but_o when_o we_o grow_v in_o this_o bless_a

this_o method_n the_o apostle_n set_v down_o let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n first_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o body_n and_o then_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o their_o entrance_n into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n first_o they_o sit_v upon_o the_o

suffer_v the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n to_o war_n and_o to_o muster_v up_o all_o their_o force_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o rather_o know_v what_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n at_o such_o a_o time_n if_o we_o find_v that_o resistance_n against_o sin_n grow_v strong_a that_o sin_n can_v advance_v and_o carry_v on_o his_o army_n so_o as_o former_o that_o sin_n be_v encounter_v at_o first_o or_o
