discourse_n and_o with_o such_o a_o variety_n of_o expression_n that_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o imagine_v how_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v more_o plain_o tell_v he_o be_v call_v the_o highpriest_n that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o people_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n by_o his_o own_o blood_n have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o his_o blood_n purge_v our_o conscience_n from_o dead_a wok_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n he_o have_v put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n once_o for_o we_o all_o and_o after_o he_o have_v offer_v one_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o for_o ever_o sit_v down_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n have_v by_o that_o one_o offer_v for_o ever_o perfect_v they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v so_o that_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n 12.20_o he_o be_v also_o compare_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v burn_v without_o the_o camp_n and_o that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v the_o people_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n he_o suffer_v without_o the_o gate_n and_o he_o be_v call_v that_o great_a shepherd_n of_o the_o sheep_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n now_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o as_o this_o argument_n be_v in_o some_o place_n close_o pursue_v in_o many_o choose_a and_o strict_a expression_n so_o it_o return_v in_o a_o great_a variety_n of_o phrase_n through_o the_o whole_a epistle_n in_o so_o many_o different_a place_n and_o on_o so_o many_o several_a occasion_n that_o nothing_o can_v appear_v plain_o in_o word_n than_o that_o the_o apostle_n cosider_v this_o as_o the_o capital_a article_n of_o their_o whole_a doctrine_n and_o the_o main_a point_n give_v they_o in_o commission_n in_o their_o preach_n to_o all_o nation_n they_o inculcate_v it_o chief_o they_o repeat_v it_o often_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o have_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v they_o have_v not_o leave_v one_o single_a phrase_n that_o belong_v to_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o they_o have_v not_o apply_v to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a it_o be_v true_a they_o mention_v his_o resurrection_n often_o as_o the_o great_a and_o eminent_a proof_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n but_o they_o never_o apply_v that_o with_o those_o lively_a and_o inflame_a expression_n to_o man_n conscience_n that_o they_o do_v his_o death_n and_o suffering_n the_o merit_n be_v plain_o put_v there_o the_o resurrection_n be_v the_o glorious_a reward_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o upon_o his_o death_n and_o cross_n it_o be_v that_o they_o dwell_v the_o most_o they_o set_v a_o infinite_a value_n upon_o his_o love_v we_o and_o die_v for_o we_o now_o if_o he_o have_v only_o die_v for_o our_o good_a though_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a evidence_n of_o perfect_a love_n yet_o the_o world_n be_v full_a of_o story_n of_o man_n that_o have_v die_v for_o their_o country_n so_o that_o bare_o the_o die_a for_o our_o good_a if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v likewise_o in_o our_o stead_n can_v not_o have_v bear_v such_o a_o sublime_a strain_n as_o that_o be_v in_o which_o they_o set_v this_o out_o if_o our_o saviour_n have_v only_o be_v to_o endure_v those_o bodily_a torment_n how_o violent_a soever_o it_o do_v not_o give_v any_o extraordinary_a character_n of_o he_o that_o the_o very_a night_n before_o he_o be_v so_o exceed_o amaze_v at_o the_o prospect_n of_o what_o he_o be_v enter_v upon_o that_o he_o become_v sorrowful_a even_o to_o the_o death_n 44._o and_o be_v in_o such_o a_o bodily_a agony_n that_o his_o sweat_n fall_v down_o as_o great_a drop_n of_o blood_n which_o show_v that_o his_o mind_n be_v then_o in_o a_o much_o more_o unconceivable_a and_o unsupportable_a agony_n 38._o so_o that_o a_o angel_n be_v send_v from_o heaven_n to_o comfort_v he_o now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o in_o his_o suffering_n than_o that_o which_o we_o see_v here_o be_v a_o depression_n far_o below_o what_o great_a hero_n have_v express_v even_o during_o the_o most_o extreme_a suffering_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o they_o only_o upon_o the_o prospect_n of_o their_o come_n on_o all_o the_o while_n before_o our_o saviour_n know_v they_o be_v come_v and_o yet_o till_o then_o no_o agony_n be_v hear_v of_o which_o intimate_v that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o peculiar_a in_o it_o which_o some_o church_n have_v in_o their_o liturgy_n call_v very_o proper_o his_o unspeakable_a and_o unutterable_a suffering_n they_o be_v so_o indeed_o for_o we_o who_o have_v only_o a_o notion_n of_o vast_a agony_n in_o the_o mind_n when_o rack_v with_o the_o horror_n of_o guilt_n it_o can_v bear_v the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reproach_n that_o arise_v from_o a_o wound_a conscience_n can_v apprehend_v what_o can_v have_v raise_v such_o amaze_a sorrow_n in_o so_o pure_a and_o unspotted_a a_o soul_n that_o be_v conscious_a to_o itself_o of_o no_o sin_n and_o so_o can_v fear_v nothing_o from_o a_o just_a and_o good_a god_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o pretend_v to_o explain_v what_o we_o can_v understand_v but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o main_a argument_n when_o this_o whole_a collection_n of_o the_o way_n in_o which_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v propose_v to_o the_o world_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v lay_v together_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o either_o this_o death_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n or_o we_o must_v for_o ever_o despair_v of_o find_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v express_v in_o word_n nothing_o can_v be_v plain_o say_v nor_o often_o repeat_v in_o a_o great_a variety_n of_o expression_n proper_a to_o signify_v this_o and_o not_o proper_a for_o any_o thing_n else_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o those_o who_o will_v turn_v all_o this_o another_o way_n have_v find_v to_o every_o one_o of_o these_o passage_n somewhat_o that_o seem_v to_o favour_v the_o divert_v they_o to_o another_o signification_n but_o as_o it_o be_v observe_v before_o if_o some_o of_o the_o sacrificatory_a phrase_n have_v by_o some_o author_n and_o upon_o some_o occasion_n be_v bring_v down_o to_o a_o signification_n less_o important_a it_o will_v not_o from_o thence_o follow_v that_o discourse_n that_o be_v a_o contexture_n of_o those_o notion_n and_o form_n of_o speech_n shall_v be_v so_o wrest_v from_o their_o natural_a signification_n to_o a_o sense_n so_o far_o below_o the_o genuine_a and_o receive_a importance_n of_o the_o word_n and_o indeed_o i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o we_o can_v make_v of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o how_o much_o of_o it_o we_o can_v receive_v with_o any_o degree_n of_o esteem_n if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v be_v a_o true_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n offer_v up_o to_o god_n in_o our_o stead_n nor_o do_v this_o at_o all_o contradict_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_v sin_n which_o be_v so_o much_o set_v forth_o in_o scripture_n since_o there_o be_v matter_n enough_o for_o freegrace_n to_o exert_v itself_o notwithstanding_o the_o atonement_n make_v by_o sacrifice_n for_o god_n may_v have_v in_o the_o strictness_n of_o justice_n demand_v satisfaction_n from_o ourselves_o so_o his_o commute_v the_o matter_n and_o accept_v of_o it_o in_o the_o person_n of_o another_o be_v a_o very_a high_a act_n of_o his_o grace_n then_o our_o saviour_n offering_n himself_o up_o so_o free_o for_o we_o be_v a_o signal_n as_o well_o as_o a_o undeserved_a act_n of_o love_n in_o that_o he_o die_v for_o we_o while_o we_o be_v yet_o enemy_n and_o though_o this_o act_n belong_v to_o his_o human_a nature_n yet_o the_o union_n between_o it_o and_o the_o eternal_a word_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o may_v very_o well_o entitle_v god_n to_o it_o so_o that_o in_o that_o respect_n this_o also_o may_v be_v call_v a_o act_n of_o god_n grace_n the_o offer_v this_o to_o we_o on_o such_o easy_a term_n and_o the_o exact_v only_o a_o sincere_a obedience_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o without_o insist_v on_o a_o entire_a obedience_n be_v another_o part_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o it_o and_o final_o the_o propose_v such_o vast_a reward_n to_o our_o poor_a service_n and_o the_o convey_v the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o to_o some_o nation_n when_o other_o be_v leave_v in_o darkness_n and_o ignorance_n be_v very_o great_a and_o undeserved_a act_n of_o love_n and_o mercy_n so_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o saviour_n die_v for_o we_o as_o our_o sacrifice_n do_v not_o at_o
