fruitful_a and_o have_v more_o increase_n of_o child_n than_o she_o that_o sometime_o have_v a_o husband_n oh_o let_v we_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o adore_v the_o

etc._n john_n 17.18_o even_o so_o have_v i_o also_o send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n doctrine_n 3._o there_o be_v a_o great_a similitude_n between_o the_o father_n send_v christ_n into_o the_o

send_v i_o into_o the_o world_n even_o so_o have_v i_o also_o send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n my_o send_v they_o be_v much_o like_o thy_o send_v i_o so_o he_o compare_v they_o each_o with_o other_o in_o another_o place_n almost_o in_o the_o same_o word_n john_n 20.21_o as_o my_o father_n have_v send_v i_o so_o send_v i_o you_o the_o thing_n be_v plain_a enough_o that_o so_o it_o be_v in_o some_o respect_n but_o wherein_o and_o in_o what_o respect_v this_o likeness_n stand_v will_v need_v to_o be_v explain_v with_o much_o caution_n because_o as_o there_o be_v great_a likeness_n between_o the_o father_n send_v christ_n and_o christ_n send_n his_o apostle_n and_o minister_n into_o the_o world_n so_o there_o be_v a_o great_a unlikeness_n too_o as_o the_o similitude_n be_v great_a so_o

may_v see_v the_o one_o the_o better_a for_o the_o other_o as_o god_n the_o father_n send_v the_o son_n with_o authority_n and_o power_n so_o jesus_n christ_n send_v his_o apostle_n and_o minister_n with_o authority_n and_o power_n too_o as_o god_n give_v he_o power_n so_o he_o give_v they_o power_n and_o therefore_o have_v say_v to_o his_o apostle_n all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o i_o both_o in_o

exercise_v it_o over_o all_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o power_n which_o christ_n have_v give_v he_o 2_o cor._n 13.10_o to_o intimate_v that_o he_o receive_v his_o power_n and_o his_o authority_n by_o way_n of_o delegation_n from_o the_o lord_n christ_n as_o christ_n receive_v his_o power_n and_o his_o authority_n as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o mediator_n by_o way_n of_o delegation_n from_o the_o father_n and_o as_o the_o father_n give_v the_o son_n a_o key_n of_o power_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o that_o remarkable_a place_n isa_n 22.22_o the_o key_n of_o the_o house_n of_o david_n will_v i_o lay_v upon_o his_o shoulder_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o shoulder_n of_o eliakim_n who_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n a_o figure_n and_o a_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o shall_v open_v and_o none_o shall_v shut_v and_o he_o shall_v shut_v and_o none_o shall_v open_v so_o christ_n give_v key_n of_o power_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o his_o

or_o in_o the_o regular_a administration_n of_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n here_o be_v a_o great_a similitude_n you_o see_v between_o the_o power_n with_o which_o the_o father_n send_v christ_n and_o the_o power_n with_o which_o christ_n send_v his_o apostle_n and_o his_o minister_n into_o the_o world_n as_o christ_n have_v power_n to_o shut_v and_o open_v from_o the_o father_n so_o have_v they_o from_o jesus_n christ_n as_o christ_n have_v power_n to_o bind_v and_o loose_v from_o god_n the_o father_n so_o have_v they_o from_o jesus_n christ_n as_o christ_n have_v power_n to_o remit_v sin_n and_o to_o retain_v they_o from_o the_o father_n so_o have_v they_o from_o christ_n and_o therefore_o have_v say_v to_o his_o apostle_n as_o my_o father_n have_v send_v i_o so_o send_v i_o you_o he_o add_v immediate_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n save_o one_o whosesoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o be_v remit_v and_o whosesoever_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v but_o yet_o as_o the_o similitude_n be_v great_a in_o this_o respect_n so_o be_v the_o dissimilitude_n the_o power_n which_o jesus_n christ_n receive_v from_o god_n the_o father_n be_v a_o universal_a power_n all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o i_o say_v our_o saviour_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n mat._n 28.19_o and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o mind_v his_o father_n that_o he_o have_v give_v he_o

jesus_n christ_n have_v all_o power_n all_o sort_n and_o all_o degree_n of_o power_n they_o have_v but_o some_o power_n some_o sort_n and_o some_o measure_n the_o power_n which_o jesus_n christ_n receive_v from_o god_n the_o father_n be_v a_o kingly_a power_n he_o set_v he_o up_o as_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n and_o so_o according_o he_o crown_v he_o the_o power_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o ministerial_a power_n christ_n have_v a_o legislative_a power_n to_o make_v law_n while_o they_o have_v but_o a_o legis-narrative_a or_o declaratory_a

a_o sovereign_a lord_n they_o do_v it_o but_o declarative_o as_o his_o minister_n and_o servant_n there_o be_v a_o great_a similitude_n between_o the_o father_n send_v christ_n etc._n etc._n in_o

our_o saviour_n say_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o i_o he_o have_v anoint_v i_o to_o preach_v isa_n 61.1_o and_o so_o according_o when_o he_o first_o begin_v to_o preach_v he_o take_v this_o very_a text_n to_o preach_v upon_o as_o you_o may_v see_v luk._n 4.18_o behold_v my_o servant_n say_v the_o lord_n who_o i_o uphold_v isa_n 42.1_o and_o my_o elect_a in_o who_o my_o soul_n delight_v i_o have_v put_v my_o spirit_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o to_o qualify_v he_o for_o his_o office_n as_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o follow_a word_n for_o it_o be_v add_v present_o that_o he_o shall_v bring_v forth_o judgement_n to_o the_o gentile_n a_o bruise_a reed_n shall_v he_o not_o break_v etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v suggest_v in_o the_o prophecy_n isa_n 11.2_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v rest_v upon_o he_o and_o it_o shall_v rest_v upon_o he_o in_o those_o grace_n and_o endowment_n that_o fit_v he_o for_o the_o place_n to_o which_o he_o be_v

belove_a both_o of_o the_o promise_n and_o of_o the_o confirmation_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a if_o christ_n have_v be_v reserve_v if_o he_o have_v keep_v his_o purpose_n and_o intention_n in_o his_o

but_o it_o have_v be_v less_o sure_a to_o we_o we_o have_v not_o have_v the_o less_o benefit_n but_o we_o have_v have_v the_o less_o comfort_n for_o he_o will_v sure_o have_v fulfil_v his_o own_o

be_v observe_v and_o keep_v though_o they_o have_v never_o be_v confirm_v yet_o christ_n have_v ratify_v they_o with_o his_o own_o blood_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v we_o heb._n 9.16_o not_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n but_o with_o his_o own_o most_o precious_a blood_n and_o why_o have_v he_o do_v this_o why_o doubtless_o that_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o want_v to_o his_o

be_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n will_v not_o have_v keep_v his_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v have_v break_v with_o we_o have_v they_o not_o be_v thus_o confirm_v no_o certain_o my_o brethren_n he_o
