unto_o you_o like_v unto_o i_o hear_v you_o he_o and_o now_o here_o in_o this_o 17._o of_o matthew_n at_o the_o transfiguration_n moses_n and_o elias_n appear_v which_o they_o do_v not_o in_o the_o 3._o of_o matthew_n first_o consider_v that_o the_o emphasis_n may_v lie_v upon_o the_o word_n hear_v and_o not_o upon_o the_o word_n he_o only_o this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v hear_v you_o he_o his_o face_n do_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n and_o his_o raiment_n be_v white_a as_o the_o light_n and_o christ_n appear_v in_o great_a glory_n and_o they_o stand_v look_v upon_o he_o nay_o say_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n do_v not_o make_v it_o a_o gaze_a matter_n but_o hear_v he_o do_v stand_v look_v upon_o he_o but_o hear_v he_o he_o do_v appear_v in_o such_o a_o glory_n in_o the_o 3._o of_o matthew_n when_o he_o be_v baptize_v and_o therefore_o those_o word_n be_v not_o add_v there_o but_o again_o here_o now_o in_o the_o 17._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n at_o the_o transfiguration_n appear_v moses_n and_o elias_n behold_v at_o the_o 3._o verse_n there_o appear_v unto_o they_o moses_n and_o elias_n talk_v with_o he_o moses_n that_o give_v the_o law_n elias_n that_o restore_v it_o then_o answer_v peter_n and_o say_v unto_o jesus_n lord_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o be_v here_o if_o thou_o will_v let_v we_o make_v here_o three_o tabernacle_n one_o for_o thou_o and_o one_o for_o moses_n and_o one_o for_o elias_n peter_n and_o so_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o disciple_n begin_v for_o to_o equalise_v moses_n to_o jesus_n christ_n one_o for_o moses_n and_o one_o for_o elias_n and_o one_o for_o jesus_n christ_n no_o more_o for_o christ_n than_o for_o moses_n now_o the_o lord_n take_v peter_n off_o from_o all_o his_o mistake_n your_o eye_n be_v upon_o moses_n say_v he_o but_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n almighty_a be_o well_o please_v in_o my_o son_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v i_o be_o well_o please_v with_o you_o and_o with_o your_o duty_n through_o this_o my_o son_n and_o not_o through_o moses_n and_o therefore_o hear_v christ_n and_o not_o moses_n he_o lay_v this_o in_o upon_o it_o that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v evangelical_n and_o hear_v jesus_n christ_n because_o the_o lord_n christ_n give_v acceptance_n unto_o all_o and_o by_o he_o god_n be_v well_o please_v with_o they_o again_o further_o the_o more_o glory_n christ_n do_v appear_v in_o the_o great_a reason_n there_o be_v why_o we_o shall_v hear_v he_o now_o here_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v in_o glory_n his_o face_n do_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n and_o his_o raiment_n be_v white_a as_o the_o light_n in_o the_o 3._o of_o matthew_n he_o be_v there_o baptize_v and_o he_o do_v not_o appear_v in_o glory_n but_o now_o here_o he_o appear_v in_o glory_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n now_o hear_v he_o this_o be_v your_o glorious_a saviour_n hear_v he_o belove_a what_o great_a glory_n can_v jesus_n christ_n appear_v to_o your_o soul_n in_o than_o this_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o love_n he_o take_v every_o one_o of_o your_o duty_n and_o your_o prayer_n and_o he_o carry_v they_o in_o to_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o by_o he_o you_o have_v acceptance_n oh_o what_o a_o glorious_a saviour_n have_v you_o therefore_o hear_v he_o this_o be_v that_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v make_v you_o very_o obedient_a to_o christ_n more_o than_o to_o moses_n to_o be_v evangelical_n in_o all_o your_o duty_n yet_o further_o the_o more_o a_o man_n can_v rejoice_v in_o spiritual_a privilege_n with_o humility_n and_o the_o more_o humble_a a_o man_n be_v and_o yet_o can_v rejoice_v in_o his_o spiritual_a privilege_n the_o more_o holy_a he_o be_v there_o go_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o holiness_n to_o it_o to_o join_v these_o two_o together_o for_o a_o man_n to_o rejoice_v in_o his_o spiritual_a privilege_n and_o yet_o to_o be_v humble_a and_o to_o walk_v very_o humble_o some_o there_o be_v that_o look_v upon_o their_o spiritual_a privilege_n and_o rejoice_v much_o but_o they_o do_v walk_n humble_o some_o labour_n to_o walk_v humble_o and_o be_v much_o trouble_v in_o the_o consideration_n of_o their_o own_o evil_n but_o they_o do_v rejoice_v in_o their_o spiritual_a privilege_n give_v i_o a_o christian_n that_o do_v both_o and_o he_o be_v a_o bless_a man_n the_o study_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o be_v now_o before_o you_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o do_v both_o to_o do_v both_o together_o for_o what_o a_o great_a privilege_n be_v this_o not_o a_o sigh_o not_o a_o groan_n not_o a_o duty_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n take_v it_o and_o carry_v it_o in_o and_o present_v it_o to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o i_o whereby_o i_o have_v acceptance_n consider_v this_o here_o be_v matter_n of_o much_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v i_o but_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o do_v it_o there_o be_v no_o such_o worthiness_n in_o my_o own_o duty_n it_o be_v lose_v and_o cast_v away_o if_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o take_v it_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o carry_v it_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v i_o not_o walk_v humble_o i_o conclude_v all_o with_o this_o if_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n offer_v up_o all_o our_o gift_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n whereby_o we_o have_v acceptance_n what_o infinite_a cause_n have_v we_o all_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o christ_n and_o to_o love_n jesus_n christ_n for_o ever_o suppose_v one_o of_o you_o have_v be_v among_o the_o disciple_n when_o the_o lord_n christ_n wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n and_o he_o shall_v have_v come_v and_o wash_v your_o foot_n and_o have_v do_v it_o will_v not_o your_o heart_n

the_o earth_n but_o now_o he_o be_v in_o glory_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o take_v your_o dirty_a prayer_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v wash_v the_o foot_n of_o your_o prayer_n that_o he_o may_v present_v they_o to_o god_n the_o father_n he_o wash_v your_o tear_n over_o again_o in_o his_o blood_n and_o present_v they_o to_o god_n the_o father_n he_o take_v all_o your_o duty_n and_o perfume_v they_o with_o his_o intercession_n and_o so_o present_v they_o unto_o god_n the_o father_n oh_o what_o cause_n have_v we_o to_o love_n jesus_n christ_n oh_o you_o that_o never_o love_v christ_n love_v he_o now_o and_o you_o that_o have_v love_v he_o before_o love_v he_o much_o more_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n love_v the_o lord_n and_o let_v we_o all_o even_o go_v away_o with_o our_o heart_n

and_o to_o offer_v up_o their_o gift_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n all_o which_o christ_n do_v for_o we_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o one_o work_n more_o of_o our_o great_a highpriest_n and_o that_o be_v to_o bless_v the_o people_n we_o read_v in_o the_o old-testament_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o high-priest_n one_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n the_o levitical_a highpriest_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v and_o his_o work_n be_v for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 6._o chapter_n of_o number_n &_o the_o 23._o verse_n speak_v unto_o aaron_n and_o unto_o his_o son_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a you_o shall_v bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o etc._n etc._n there_o be_v another_o highpriest_n not_o according_a to_o this_o order_n of_o aaron_n and_o that_o be_v melchisedec_n and_o he_o also_o do_v bless_v abraham_n and_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o he_o

there_o of_o the_o disciple_n that_o they_o shall_v wait_v for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n christ_n command_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n but_o wait_v for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n what_o be_v that_o we_o know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o be_v that_o which_o befall_v afterward_o it_o be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o they_o &_o this_o be_v call_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n that_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o promise_n be_v the_o give_v of_o the_o son_n and_o come_v of_o the_o second_o person_n so_o after_o christ_n come_v the_o great_a promise_n be_v the_o come_n of_o the_o three_o person_n and_o the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o i_o be_o go_v say_v christ_n i_o will_v send_v you_o another_o comforter_n he_o that_o believe_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o live_a water_n this_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o give_v in_o those_o extraordinary_a emanation_n of_o gist_n and_o grace_n because_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o glorisied_a so_o then_o the_o great_a blessing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n the_o great_a gospel-blessing_n be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o be_v a_o gospel-blessing_n indeed_o well_o ques_n but_o what_o do_v christ_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_n it_o be_v observable_a answ_n 1_o that_o when_o any_o superior_a do_v bless_v a_o father_n do_v bless_v his_o child_n or_o the_o like_a he_o do_v observe_v what_o be_v the_o choice_a mercy_n and_o good_a in_o those_o time_n and_o he_o do_v wish_v that_o unto_o his_o child_n or_o unto_o his_o inferior_a and_o so_o in_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n time_n the_o choice_n good_a it_o be_v the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o when_o they_o do_v bless_v their_o child_n they_o wish_v unto_o they_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n so_o now_o when_o our_o jord_n jesus_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v any_o man_n observe_v that_o the_o choice_a mercy_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o favour_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o a_o man_n heart_n he_o do_v wis_v all_o this_o good_a unto_o he_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n lord_n let_v this_o poor_a soul_n have_v thy_o favour_n oh_o cause_n thy_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n and_o give_v out_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o it_o that_o it_o may_v walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o priest_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o they_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v 6.27_o numb_a 6.27_o they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o bless_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v a_o man_n he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v he_o good_a the_o lord_n cause_v his_o face_n for_o to_o shine_v upon_o that_o soul_n in_o a_o way_n of_o wish_v but_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v such_o a_o soul_n to_o be_v bless_v three_o when_o the_o priest_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v the_o people_n bless_v but_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o priest_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o binding-power_n it_o have_v the_o power_n force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o a_o absolution_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n go_v and_o whosoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o shall_v be_v remit_v i_o will_v stand_v by_o you_o in_o it_o so_o say_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o same_o place_n the_o 6._o of_o number_n on_o this_o wise_a shall_v you_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o and_o at_o the_o 27._o verse_n they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o will_v blessethem_fw-mi i_o will_v stand_v by_o they_o in_o this_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v a_o man_n to_o be_v bless_v but_o he_o do_v absolve_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n &_o say_v he_o by_o authority_n that_o be_v give_v to_o i_o from_o my_o father_n the_o key_n that_o be_v put_v into_o my_o hand_n i_o do_v bound_v this_o blessing_n upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n further_o the_o priest_n when_o he_o bless_v indeed_o he_o can_v wish_v well_o and_o he_o can_v pronounce_v a_o man_n bless_v and_o he_o may_v absolve_v but_o he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o he_o can_v not_o confer_v the_o blessing_n he_o can_v not_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n but_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n beyond_o all_o the_o high-priest_n that_o ever_o be_v before_o he_o in_o this_o respect_n too_o where_o he_o do_v bless_v he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n in_o the_o five_o place_n this_o our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v god_n and_o man_n look_v how_o god_n bless_v so_o do_v he_o bless_v in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o god_n the_o father_n bless_v he_o say_v unto_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o blessed_v increase_n and_o multiply_v still_o when_o he_o blessed_v increase_v and_o multiply_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o high-preist_n when_o he_o come_v to_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n or_o pronounce_v he_o bless_v or_o beslow_v a_o good_a thing_n upon_o he_o but_o say_v he_o o_o soul_n multiply_v in_o this_o good_a the_o lord_n increase_v thy_o grace_n and_o thy_o gift_n and_o thy_o comfort_n poor_a soul_n increase_n and_o multiply_v herein_o this_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v thus_o it_o be_v clear_a what_o the_o blssing_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v wherein_o it_o consist_v and_o what_o our_o highpriest_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_v the_o people_n but_o second_o quest_n 2_o do_v this_o blessing_n proper_o or_o special_o belong_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n yes_o answ_n for_o he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n he_o and_o none_o else_o make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o the_o world_n for_o to_o bless_v for_o look_v what_o evil_a jesus_n christ_n endure_v the_o contrary_a good_a he_o merit_v for_o the_o child_n of_o man_n a_o power_n to_o bestow_v that_o good_a now_o he_o above_o all_o be_v curse_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o for_o to_o give_v the_o blessing_n for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n primum_fw-la in_o quolibet_fw-la genere_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o first_o in_o every_o kind_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o rest_n the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o light_n we_o have_v here_o below_o and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o light_n body_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v the_o first_o blessing_n therefore_o have_v they_o god_n blessed_v thou_o for_o ever_o there_o be_v three_o that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o scripture_n especial_o that_o do_v bless_v the_o father_n the_o king_n and_o the_o priest_n the_o father_n do_v bless_v his_o child_n the_o king_n blessed_v his_o subject_n and_o the_o priest_n blessed_v the_o people_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v our_o father_n the_o everlasting_a father_n he_o be_v our_o king_n i_o will_v set_v my_o king_n upon_o my_o holy_a hill_n and_o he_o be_v our_o great_a highpriest_n and_o therefore_o all_o these_o relation_n meet_v in_o he_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n but_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n quest_n 3_o and_o incline_v unto_o it_o yes_o answ_n he_o be_v very_o

abundance_n of_o blessing_n christ_n scatter_v among_o the_o people_n when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n you_o do_v read_v that_o ever_o he_o curse_v any_o man_n formal_o curse_v he_o once_o
