impute_v to_o we_o such_o a_o necessity_n be_v there_o that_o man_n be_v humble_v now_o that_o you_o may_v a_o little_a better_o understand_v this_o point_n 2._o christ._n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o thing_n that_o keep_v man_n off_o from_o come_v to_o christ._n one_o be_v unbelief_n when_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n or_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o unbelief_n this_o be_v the_o great_a hindrance_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o you_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o messiah_n press_v so_o much_o to_o believe_v that_o that_o be_v he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v press_v so_o much_o in_o these_o time_n but_o as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n when_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o a_o church_n to_o confirm_v it_o in_o the_o truth_n they_o do_v not_o press_v so_o much_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v one_o god_n and_o that_o a_o god_n of_o truth_n but_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o knowledge_n so_o must_v we_o do_v there_o be_v therefore_o another_o thing_n that_o hinder_v from_o christ_n twofold_a and_o that_o be_v negligence_n man_n care_v not_o for_o christ_n they_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o he_o and_o this_o be_v twofold_a totall_n or_o partial_a totall_n totall_n be_v that_o which_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o that_o be_v bid_v to_o the_o feast_n and_o excuse_v themselves_o and_o have_v buy_v a_o yoke_n of_o ox_n another_o have_v marry_v a_o wife_n another_o have_v take_v a_o farm_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o come_v they_o be_v persuade_v there_o be_v a_o feast_n of_o fatling_n provide_v but_o they_o mind_v other_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v not_o hungry_a and_o therefore_o care_v not_o for_o it_o and_o in_o this_o kind_a the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n of_o your_o common_a protestant_n neglect_v the_o gospel_n tell_v they_o of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n they_o mind_n it_o not_o second_o partial_a there_o be_v a_o partial_a neglect_n and_o so_o many_o profess_v christ_n do_v many_o thing_n for_o he_o but_o regard_v he_o not_o and_o in_o this_o the_o second_o and_o three_o ground_n fail_v the_o second_o do_v much_o but_o not_o so_o far_o regard_v he_o as_o to_o endure_v persecution_n the_o three_o do_v respect_v he_o more_o but_o not_o so_o as_o to_o forgo_v their_o lust_n for_o he_o this_o be_v a_o partial_a neglect_n and_o that_o that_o help_v this_o double_a neglect_n be_v humiliation_n now_o to_o give_v a_o reason_n or_o two_o of_o this_o point_n and_o so_o we_o will_v make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o come_v to_o the_o other_o which_o be_v the_o main_a and_o that_o i_o most_o intend_v god_n will_v have_v it_o thus_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o it_o with_o reference_n to_o our_o justification_n he_o will_v justify_v none_o till_o he_o have_v bring_v he_o to_o acknowledge_v both_o his_o justice_n and_o his_o mercy_n 1._o he_o will_v have_v man_n know_v what_o he_o do_v to_o they_o justification_n before_o he_o justify_v they_o and_o receive_v they_o to_o favour_n i_o say_v he_o will_v have_v a_o man_n acknowledge_v his_o justice_n that_o be_v confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o sin_n to_o acknowledge_v himself_o worthy_a to_o be_v destroy_v as_o in_o ezek._n 36._o there_o you_o shall_v find_v how_o god_n justify_v man_n and_o wash_v they_o with_o clean_a water_n from_o their_o sin_n then_o when_o i_o do_v this_o whensoever_o i_o shall_v justify_v any_o man_n than_o you_o shall_v remember_v your_o deed_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o shall_v acknowledge_v yourselves_o worthy_a to_o be_v destroy_v god_n will_v have_v this_o honour_n give_v he_o he_o will_v have_v man_n know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o do_v for_o any_o thing_n in_o themselves_o he_o will_v have_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o four_o verse_n of_o the_o one_o and_o fifty_o psalm_n against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v etc._n etc._n that_o thou_o may_v be_v justify_v when_o thou_o speak_v and_o be_v clear_a when_o thou_o judge_v that_o glory_n may_v be_v give_v to_o god_n and_o shame_n take_v to_o himself_o this_o god_n will_v have_v do_v as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n his_o justice_n and_o mercy_n be_v both_o satisfy_v so_o in_o the_o application_n of_o it_o in_o take_v hold_n of_o this_o redemption_n god_n will_v have_v a_o work_n wrought_v wherein_o his_o justice_n shall_v be_v acknowledge_v second_o he_o will_v have_v his_o mercy_n acknowledge_v as_o prince_n when_o they_o will_v make_v a_o condemn_a man_n be_v sensible_a of_o their_o mercy_n they_o will_v bring_v he_o to_o the_o uttermost_a they_o will_v bring_v his_o neck_n to_o the_o block_n than_o he_o will_v know_v that_o he_o be_v save_v he_o shall_v have_v more_o sense_n of_o his_o pardon_n and_o so_o god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o humiliation_n humble_v a_o man_n exceed_o and_o when_o that_o be_v do_v than_o he_o be_v see_v in_o the_o mount_n he_o be_v not_o see_v till_o man_n be_v in_o extremity_n that_o be_v he_o will_v have_v they_o on_o their_o knee_n and_o so_o be_v sensible_a of_o that_o mercy_n of_o he_o which_o otherwise_o they_o will_v not_o prize_v the_o end_n of_o all_o be_v christ_n he_o will_v have_v christ_n esteem_v and_o know_v and_o this_o man_n will_v never_o do_v till_o they_o be_v thorough_o humble_v 2._o second_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o with_o reference_n to_o sanctification_n sanctification_n that_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n and_o that_o for_o these_o cause_n first_o because_o otherwise_o man_n thought_n will_v never_o

correspondency_n in_o matter_n of_o state_n and_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o will_v take_v up_o the_o mind_n of_o they_o that_o be_v old_a and_o will_v so_o occupy_v their_o thought_n that_o we_o may_v speak_v long_o enough_o but_o man_n mind_n will_v go_v after_o a_o hundred_o several_a vanity_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n before_o he_o be_v humble_v that_o be_v god_n be_v not_o there_o to_o any_o purpose_n nor_o the_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o vanity_n be_v in_o their_o thought_n and_o that_o raise_v such_o a_o tumult_n and_o noise_n within_o that_o they_o attend_v not_o to_o what_o we_o say_v but_o lock_v up_o the_o door_n of_o their_o heart_n that_o what_o we_o say_v can_v have_v no_o entrance_n we_o shall_v see_v it_o in_o 2_o chro._n 33._o when_o manasses_n have_v corrupt_v himself_o with_o monstrous_a abomination_n there_o set_v down_o the_o lord_n speak_v to_o he_o but_o he_o regard_v it_o not_o till_o he_o be_v humble_v but_o when_o be_v lead_v into_o captivity_n and_o bind_v in_o fetter_n he_o be_v humble_v than_o he_o beseech_v god_n who_o be_v entreat_v of_o he_o in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o luke_n you_o shall_v find_v this_o phrase_n the_o prodigal_a son_n come_v to_o himself_o it_o be_v parable_n show_v every_o man_n natural_a condition_n he_o be_v not_o

and_o speak_v to_o a_o drunken_a man_n as_o long_o as_o you_o will_v so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o his_o drunkenness_n and_o madness_n he_o hear_v not_o it_o be_v only_o this_o humiliation_n that_o bring_v a_o man_n to_o himself_o in_o 2_o chron._n 6.37_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o phrase_n if_o they_o shall_v turn_v with_o all_o their_o heart_n in_o their_o captivity_n and_o repent_v for_o their_o transgression_n then_o do_v thou_o hear_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n i_o name_v it_o for_o the_o phrase_n if_o they_o shall_v turn_v with_o their_o heart_n which_o they_o will_v not_o do_v till_o they_o be_v humble_v till_o than_o they_o be_v busy_v about_o pleasure_n or_o profit_n or_o something_o else_o but_o they_o look_v not_o into_o their_o heart_n the_o phrase_n import_v so_o much_o suppose_v a_o man_n be_v instant_a in_o some_o sport_n and_o recreation_n and_o one_o come_v and_o tell_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o sport_n there_o be_v a_o officer_n without_o ready_a to_o take_v you_o and_o carry_v you_o to_o prison_n such_o a_o message_n will_v turn_v to_o his_o heart_n and_o make_v he_o consider_v what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o what_o a_o miserable_a
master_n you_o must_v take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n so_o as_o to_o be_v divorce_v from_o all_o other_o lover_n for_o this_o know_v that_o christ_n and_o good_a fellowship_n that_o christ_n and_o fornication_n christ_n and_o swear_v christ_n and_o ambition_n christ_n and_o serve_v yourselves_o and_o the_o time_n will_v not_o stand_v together_o you_o must_v be_v divorce_v from_o all_o these_o if_o you_o will_v have_v christ_n you_o must_v take_v he_o as_o a_o husband_n to_o be_v to_o he_o a_o love_n to_o love_v he_o to_o have_v your_o will_n subject_a to_o his_o will_n you_o must_v take_v he_o for_o better_a for_o worse_o you_o must_v take_v he_o with_o all_o variety_n of_o condition_n deny_v yourselves_o and_o take_v up_o your_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o if_o you_o take_v he_o thus_o you_o shall_v have_v he_o and_o when_o you_o shall_v have_v he_o you_o shall_v have_v all_o thing_n with_o he_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o father_n we_o be_v one_o thou_o in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o and_o then_o all_o i_o be_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v i_o so_o we_o may_v say_v every_o one_o that_o take_v christ_n be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o all_o christ_n be_v you_o and_o you_o be_v

he_o will_v not_o take_v it_o at_o your_o hand_n but_o command_v you_o to_o be_v bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n and_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o i_o say_v consider_v therefore_o the_o offer_v of_o christ_n be_v large_a you_o that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n at_o this_o time_n or_o at_o any_o other_o time_n i_o say_v consider_v it_o if_o you_o have_v christ_n himself_o than_o you_o may_v
