the_o cross_n wherein_o be_v discover_v the_o unloveliness_n of_o the_o family_n of_o love_n 1._o and_o true_o this_o five_o gospel-power_n the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o so_o great_a efficacy_n and_o concernment_n that_o our_o saviour_n seem_v with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a delight_n to_o have_v ruminate_v on_o the_o wonderful_a effect_n that_o it_o will_v have_v in_o the_o

this_o show_v what_o a_o powerful_a engine_n our_o saviour_n himself_o think_v his_o death_n will_v prove_v to_o draw_v all_o the_o world_n after_o he_o which_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o christian_a ought_v to_o dwell_v very_o much_o in_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ._n the_o use_n whereof_o appear_v in_o another_o intimation_n of_o our_o saviour_n though_o more_o typical_a yet_o the_o analogy_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o no_o man_n can_v miss_v it_o john_n 3_o and_o as_o moses_n lift_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n so_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v eternal_a life_n this_o be_v so_o perfect_a a_o representation_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n that_o i_o can_v but_o blame_v myself_o for_o not_o enter_v it_o among_o other_o prophecy_n that_o i_o allege_v for_o the_o messiah_n suffering_n 2._o and_o it_o will_v still_o appear_v more_o plain_o that_o it_o be_v intend_v a_o prefiguration_n or_o typical_a prophecy_n of_o christ_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o moses_n be_v not_o put_v upon_o it_o by_o any_o

of_o that_o groundless_a pretence_n of_o such_o wonderful_a influence_n as_o the_o ancient_a pagan_a ignorance_n attribute_v to_o the_o star_n the_o very_a matter_n of_o this_o serpent_n be_v

that_o be_v ever_o know_v to_o cure_v the_o diseasement_n after_o this_o sort_n that_o be_v by_o only_o look_v thereunto_o and_o that_o those_o that_o have_v be_v make_v against_o scorpion_n or_o

telesmatical_a preparation_n be_v superstitious_a and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o effect_n by_o any_o natural_a virtue_n or_o influence_n this_o methinks_v i_o plain_o discover_v out_o of_o their_o
