in_o who_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o truth_n and_o grace_n look_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a body_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mystical_a body_n as_o in_o the_o natural_a body_n all_o the_o

the_o meritorious_a so_o he_o be_v the_o exemplary_a cause_n as_o of_o death_n to_o sin_n so_o of_o our_o life_n to_o grace_n christ_n in_o die_v to_o sin_n he_o set_v himself_o as_o a_o pattern_n to_o we_o to_o teach_v we_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v die_v to_o sin_n christ_n in_o rise_v from_o the_o grave_n he_o set_v himself_o a_o pattern_n to_o we_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o rise_v from_o

the_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v but_o he_o come_v to_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o example_n what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o he_o teach_v we_o he_o be_v our_o schoolmaster_n not_o

the_o latter_a we_o can_v imitate_v he_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n yet_o in_o some_o sort_n we_o may_v we_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o heletropium_fw-la that_o open_v and_o shut_v with_o the_o sun_n so_o

death_n of_o sin_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o exemplary_a cause_n of_o our_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n three_o christ_n be_v the_o moral_a move_a

can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o powerful_a motive_n to_o holiness_n for_o it_o make_v man_n conclude_v &_o argue_v with_o themselves_o what_o do_v christ_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o and_o

there_o be_v our_o death_n with_o christ_n we_o shall_v be_v also_o in_o his_o resurrection_n there_o be_v the_o conjunction_n and_o connexion_n of_o our_o life_n with_o christ_n where_o the_o

spirit_n of_o grace_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a civil_o second_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a natural_o too_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o howsoever_o there_o be_v some_o life_n leave_v in_o it_o yet_o it_o have_v its_o death_n wound_n &_o that_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o die_v at_o the_o last_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wane_n and_o

receive_v its_o death_n blow_n that_o it_o will_v never_o recover_v and_o so_o at_o the_o last_o it_o will_v altogether_o die_v as_o sin_n be_v thus_o say_v to_o be_v dead_a in_o we_o so_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n in_o a_o three_o sell_v respect_n you_o know_v death_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n the_o separation_n of_o that_o that_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o life_n now_o look_v what_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n the_o same_o be_v sin_n in_o a_o sort_n in_o a_o natural_a unregenerate_a man_n he_o live_v not_o so_o

they_o be_v enable_v and_o command_v by_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o second_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o those_o antecedent_n convulsion_n and_o pang_n that_o go_v before_o death_n ordinary_o there_o be_v no_o death_n without_o pang_n and_o convulsion_n now_o as_o it_o be_v in_o natural_a death_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o

be_v not_o without_o much_o torment_n and_o anguish_n so_o in_o that_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o death_n in_o regard_n of_o those_o convulsion_n and_o pang_n that_o usual_o be_v the_o

the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n that_o be_v as_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n second_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a life_n natural_a spiritual_a the_o natural_a life_n be_v not_o here_o mean_v but_o the_o spiritual_a life_n that_o be_v

the_o self_n same_o life_n they_o differ_v only_o in_o degree_n look_v as_o the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n in_o the_o womb_n be_v the_o same_o life_n that_o the_o child_n enjoy_v when_o it_o come_v

only_o i_o say_v it_o differ_v in_o degree_n for_o look_v as_o grace_n be_v nothing_o but_o glory_n begin_v so_o glory_n be_v nothing_o but_o grace_n consummate_v but_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n quest_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v shall_v live_v if_o we_o be_v bear_v with_o christ_n we_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o i_o answer_v brief_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o answ_n to_o

so_o i_o say_v sin_n shall_v never_o in_o this_o life_n be_v utter_o dead_a but_o it_o have_v its_o deadly_a blow_n and_o languish_v away_o now_o than_o we_o may_v know_v we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n

of_o it_o more_o enfeeble_v so_o i_o say_v a_o man_n must_v not_o judge_v himself_o by_o the_o present_a fit_a or_o rage_n of_o sin_n to_o have_v no_o spark_n of_o regeneration_n for_o that_o may_v

i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n i_o propopose_v to_o show_v the_o mean_n whereby_o we_o may_v come_v to_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n for_o if_o we_o can_v come_v to_o live_v with_o christ_n

the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v that_o be_v eternal_o therefore_o there_o lie_v a_o necessity_n that_o shall_v persuade_v we_o to_o die_v to_o sin_n second_o from_o the_o commodity_n of_o it_o by_o die_v to_o sin_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o free_v ourselves_o from_o eternal_a death_n but_o from_o much_o trouble_n and_o molestation_n and_o disquiet_v also_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o

and_o that_o his_o last_o end_n may_v be_v like_o he_o it_o be_v true_a while_o he_o be_v in_o his_o jollity_n and_o bravery_n than_o such_o man_n load_v a_o mortify_a man_n with_o reproach_n and_o

why_o he_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o spiritual_a action_n because_o he_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o that_o be_v spiritual_a all_o delight_n proceed_v from_o likeness_n and_o similitude_n that_o be_v

of_o this_o death_n to_o sin_n and_o this_o life_n to_o grace_n which_o be_v christ_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o if_o we_o be_v

can_v we_o expect_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o from_o he_o in_o who_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n so_o say_v saint_n john_n joh_n 1.14_o the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n 1.14_o joh._n 1.14_o that_o be_v christ_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o we_o see_v his_o glory_n as_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n our_o death_n to_o

the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n the_o word_n be_v make_v manifest_a among_o we_o

from_o the_o grave_a and_o shall_v not_o we_o rise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n do_v we_o profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o endeavour_v

so_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o meritorious_a and_o exemplary_a but_o the_o move_a persuade_v cause_n the_o very_a thought_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o it_o will_v

part_n there_o the_o best_a if_o not_o the_o only_a reason_n that_o can_v be_v assign_v of_o that_o gift_n be_v the_o free_a grace_n and_o love_n of_o the_o donor_n so_o this_o gift_n be_v free_o from_o christ_n love_n to_o we_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n eph._n 5.2_o 5.2_o eph._n 5.2_o let_v we_o love_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o we_o where_o he_o show_v not_o only_o the_o manner_n how_o we_o shall_v love_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o but_o the_o motive_n how_o he_o love_v we_o he_o suffer_v for_o we_o he_o love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o we_o second_o as_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o give_v himself_o so_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o give_v christ_n as_o christ_n say_v it_o of_o himself_o so_o he_o speak_v it_o likewise_o of_o his_o father_n 3.16_o joh._n 3.16_o joh._n 3.16_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v

i_o be_v not_o deceive_v and_o mistake_v for_o say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 5.18_o 5.18_o rom._n 5.18_o he_o love_v we_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n god_n love_v we_o not_o only_a when_o we_o be_v

the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n but_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n 113._o s._n aug._n psal_n 113._o so_o say_v s._n austin_n upon_o psal_n 110._o god_n love_v we_o when_o he_o hate_v we_o he_o love_v we_o as_o creature_n when_o notwithstanding_o he_o hate_v we_o as_o sinner_n so_o i_o say_v god_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v to_o love_v we_o when_o we_o be_v actual_o reconcile_v by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n but_o he_o first_o love_v we_o and_o because_o he_o love_v we_o therefore_o he_o give_v his_o son_n mart._n pet._n mart._n as_o peter_n martyr_n say_v excellent_o as_o the_o pledge_n and_o pawn_v and_o earnest_n of_o his_o love_n so_o then_o that_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n that_o as_o christ_n give_v himself_o out_o of_o love_n so_o god_n give_v christ_n because_o he_o love_v we_o three_o as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o so_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v that_o christ_n shall_v die_v for_o god_n have_v no_o purpose_n to_o redeem_v man_n and_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o his_o sin_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o christ_n as_o our_o surety_n shall_v answer_v that_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v and_o to_o take_v our_o burden_n use_v 1_o and_o here_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n devise_v so_o to_o fit_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o reconcile_n the_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o our_o salvation_n and_o redemption_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o apostle_n oh_o the_o deepness_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n how_o unsearchable_a be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o it_o be_v true_a i_o deny_v not_o the_o print_n and_o footstep_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n the_o heathen_n themselves_o discover_v by_o the_o dark_a and_o dim_a light_n of_o reason_n the_o heathen_a can_v discern_v it_o in_o the_o creation_n but_o for_o the_o print_n of_o his_o footstep_n in_o redemption_n man_n and_o angel_n can_v not_o conceive_v how_o infinite_a justice_n and_o infinite_a mercy_n shall_v come_v together_o how_o sinner_n shall_v die_v eternal_o and_o be_v save_v

at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n as_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n i_o come_v not_o to_o dispute_v here_o as_o the_o school_n nice_o and_o curious_o and_o unprofitable_o whether_o god_n

to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o first_o inquiry_n concern_v the_o mean_n whereby_o to_o seek_v these_o thing_n above_o there_o remain_v only_o two_o more_o the_o character_n by_o which_o we_o may_v
