nature_n 2._o in_o what_o respect_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o for_o the_o first_o point_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o both_o nature_n both_o his_o divine_a and_o humane_a both_o which_o be_v two_o spring_n whence_o do_v flow_v several_a observation_n in_o that_o christ_n as_o god_n be_v head_n i_o observe_v 1._o the_o perpetuity_n of_o the_o church_n the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o 2._o that_o with_o all_o reverend_a respect_n obedience_n be_v to_o be_v render_v by_o we_o to_o christ_n in_o all_o

earth_n for_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o his_o deity_n and_o the_o church_n with_o the_o special_a presence_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o that_o christ_n as_o man_n be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n i_o observe_v 1._o that_o his_o affection_n to_o we_o be_v intimate_v the_o sense_n of_o our_o misery_n in_o he_o acute_a and_o he_o most_o prompt_a and_o incline_v to_o help_v we_o in_o all_o extremity_n 2._o that_o we_o may_v solace_v ourselves_o wipe_v away_o all_o tear_n from_o our_o eye_n and_o banish_v all_o sorrow_n from_o our_o heart_n for_o that_o nothing_o be_v leave_v satan_n to_o triumph_v for_o over_o we_o be_v that_o christ_n in_o our_o nature_n have_v overcome_v satan_n as_o for_o the_o second_o point_n in_o what_o respect_v christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n my_o meditation_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o relation_n which_o the_o head_n have_v to_o the_o member_n and_o this_o consist_v 1._o in_o a_o
discrepancy_n and_o distinction_n from_o the_o member_n 2._o in_o a_o congruity_n or_o agreement_n with_o they_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o natural_a head_n to_o the_o member_n do_v consist_v in_o a_o discrepancy_n which_o be_v fourfold_a 1._o the_o natural_a head_n differ_v from_o the_o member_n in_o regard_n of_o eminence_n and_o dignity_n so_o christ_n from_o the_o church_n and_o every_o single_a member_n thereof_o for_o he_o be_v god_n over_o all_o bless_a for_o ever_o 2._o in_o regard_n of_o perfection_n so_o of_o christ_n fullness_n do_v we_o all_o receive_v 3._o three_o in_o regard_n of_o government_n so_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n rule_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o they_o be_v at_o his_o service_n 4._o in_o regard_n of_o influence_n so_o there_o be_v infuse_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_a the_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a motion_n of_o grace_n from_o christ_n through_o who_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n it_o consist_v likewise_o in_o a_o congruity_n and_o agreement_n which_o be_v threefold_a 1._o the_o head_n have_v a_o natural_a conformity_n with_o the_o member_n so_o christ_n as_o man_n with_o every_o one_o of_o the_o church_n we_o be_v of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o bone_n 2._o the_o head_n and_o member_n do_v agree_v in_o ordination_n to_o the_o same_o end_n conspire_v together_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o whole_a entire_a so_o christ_n be_v now_o in_o glory_n and_o the_o church_n press_v forward_o to_o that_o eternal_a blessedness_n which_o in_o the_o day_n of_o perfect_a redemption_n they_o shall_v with_o christ_n be_v actual_a possessor_n of_o 3._o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n do_v agree_v in_o contiguity_n so_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a contiguity_n effect_v by_o the_o supernatural_a operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o mystical_a body_n whereby_o they_o be_v make_v one_o they_o that_o be_v join_v unto_o
