follow_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n and_o out_o of_o this_o death_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n that_o man_n moses_n shall_v be_v awaken_v and_o that_o by_o degree_n

then_o listen_v and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o voice_n do_v tend_v and_o end_v in_o a_o word_n and_o that_o this_o word_n may_v be_v fit_v to_o man_n capacity_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o

the_o office_n of_o a_o lawgiver_n set_v down_o many_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o commit_n of_o the_o first_o sin_n as_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n the_o expulsion_n out_o of_o paradise_n the_o murder_n of_o abel_n the_o vengeance_n upon_o cain_n the_o deluge_n the_o confusion_n of_o tongue_n the_o burn_a of_o sodom_n the_o captivity_n of_o egypt_n beside_o the_o heavy_a yoke_n of_o god_n own_o law_n that_o they_o shall_v begin_v with_o circumcision_n the_o shed_n of_o blood_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n command_v with_o such_o strict_a observance_n with_o such_o severe_a punishment_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o yet_o can_v he_o not_o so_o much_o prevail_v as_o to_o bring_v the_o israelite_n into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n but_o our_o apostle_n saint_n john_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o evangelist_n in_o mercy_n every_o page_n bring_v many_o token_n sign_n and_o assurance_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n they_o be_v so_o many_o that_o i_o will_v not_o reckon_v they_o and_o as_o upon_o the_o creation_n man_n commit_v sin_n so_o in_o our_o regeneration_n he_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n man_n nakedness_n do_v then_o appear_v but_o now_o he_o be_v clothe_v with_o christ_n righteousness_n paradise_n be_v then_o lose_v but_o now_o he_o recover_v a_o better_a inheritance_n and_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v how_o in_o every_o point_n and_o parcel_n a_o full_a restitution_n shall_v be_v make_v as_o in_o paradise_n there_o be_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o pleasant_a

the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n have_v many_o door_n all_o stand_v wide_o open_a there_o be_v free_a entrance_n none_o be_v exclude_v as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o

only_o to_o do_v work_n of_o mercy_n cure_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n feed_v many_o thousand_o raise_v the_o dead_a blessing_n sanctify_v and_o teach_v man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o to_o reckon_v they_o up_o in_o particular_a be_v endless_a only_o i_o conclude_v with_o our_o apostle_n in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o his_o gospel_n where_o he_o confess_v that_o the_o world_n will_v not_o contain_v the_o book_n that_o may_v be_v write_v of_o christ_n acts._n thus_o our_o apostle_n do_v every_o way_n enclose_v and_o encompass_v moses_n and_o so_o far_o do_v the_o last_o evangelist_n exceed_v the_o first_o lawgiver_n both_o in_o the_o object_n whereof_o they_o treat_v for_o the_o world_n be_v create_v of_o nothing_o but_o the_o word_n be_v beget_v in_o the_o understanding_n of_o god_n not_o six_o thousand_o year_n be_v yet_o past_a since_o the_o world_n be_v create_v but_o the_o word_n be_v beget_v from_o all_o eternity_n so_o moses_n end_v with_o his_o own_o time_n but_o our_o apostle_n proceed_v to_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o church_n &_o by_o compare_v the_o first_o penman_n of_o scripture_n scripture_n with_o the_o last_o it_o be_v memorable_a to_o consider_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o begin_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o end_n of_o scripture_n between_o genesis_n and_o the_o apocalypse_n for_o it_o

in_o all_o natural_a work_v god_n use_v mean_n and_o why_o not_o in_o supernatural_n it_o be_v most_o credible_a that_o the_o same_o wise_a god_n observe_v the_o same_o wise_a course_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o own_o will_n nor_o can_v this_o disparage_n god_n for_o the_o mean_n be_v none_o other_o but_o such_o as_o god_n himself_o do_v appoint_v thus_o be_v god_n the_o beginning_n the_o end_n and_o the_o mean_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o mean_n must_v be_v use_v to_o purchase_v our_o redemption_n nature_n i._n e._n that_o a_o price_n or_o ransom_n must_v be_v pay_v for_o our_o sin_n but_o where_o shall_v we_o procure_v this_o ransom_n if_o we_o have_v it_o not_o of_o our_o own_o where_o shall_v we_o borrow_v it_o who_o will_v be_v bind_v for_o we_o or_o become_v our_o surety_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n have_v lock_v up_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n coffer_n great_a treasure_n of_o gold_n silver_n precious_a stone_n mineral_n and_o these_o serve_v to_o make_v our_o coin_n which_o carry_v the_o price_n of_o all_o thing_n whereby_o these_o worldly_a commodity_n be_v buy_v and_o sell_v in_o the_o market_n and_o these_o will_v serve_v to_o pay_v for_o the_o ransom_n of_o prince_n or_o to_o corrupt_a magistrate_n and_o to_o buy_v their_o conscience_n or_o for_o any_o other_o worldly_a or_o finist_a employment_n and_o answerable_a hereunto_o god_n have_v his_o coin_n in_o the_o material_a heaven_n his_o golden_a sun_n his_o silver_n moon_n and_o as_o the_o chemist_n observe_v there_o be_v not_o a_o planet_n which_o have_v not_o a_o special_a influence_n upon_o some_o metal_n thus_o do_v god_n treasure_n in_o the_o heaven_n cause_n the_o generation_n of_o we_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o alas_o all_o these_o be_v temporary_a the_o rust_n do_v consume_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o current_a money_n to_o purchase_v eternity_n neither_o yet_o do_v they_o serve_v in_o the_o exchange_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n after_o the_o metal_n we_o will_v consider_v the_o vegetative_n the_o beauty_n and_o sweetness_n vegetatives_n of_o fair_a and_o delicious_a flower_n the_o odoriferous_a and_o aromatical_a fruit_n the_o precious_a drug_n and_o all_o whatsoever_o else_o the_o earth_n do_v afford_v these_o may_v very_o well_o be_v nature_n incense_n or_o sacrifice_v to_o god_n but_o alas_o their_o odour_n do_v vanish_v like_o vapour_n and_o can_v wash_v away_o the_o spot_n and_o cleanse_v the_o uncleanness_n of_o sin_n after_o the_o vegetative_n we_o come_v to_o the_o beast_n such_o as_o have_v motion_n and_o sense_n and_o in_o they_o by_o their_o slaughter_n and_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o mosaical_a law_n we_o find_v the_o just_a desert_n and_o reward_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o death_n be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o god_n in_o the_o law_n do_v institute_v sacrifice_n to_o betoken_v the_o truth_n of_o thing_n to_o succeed_v for_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o spot_n and_o stain_n of_o sin_n have_v so_o far_o defile_v and_o make_v such_o a_o deep_a impression_n in_o man_n that_o they_o can_v be_v wash_v away_o but_o by_o the_o effusion_n of_o blood_n it_o be_v blood_n and_o blood_n only_o that_o must_v serve_v to_o scour_v they_o from_o beast_n come_v we_o to_o man_n for_o who_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v create_v sin_n and_o in_o who_o the_o whole_a world_n do_v transgress_v and_o have_v now_o find_v out_o the_o principal_a party_n we_o must_v lay_v hold_v on_o he_o he_o be_v our_o

be_v of_o infinite_a malignity_n as_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n it_o require_v either_o a_o infinite_a price_n and_o ransom_n or_o a_o infinite_a punishment_n and_o satisfaction_n therefore_o the_o death_n of_o poor_a silly_a man_n alone_o can_v suffice_v though_o we_o must_v take_v it_o in_o part_n of_o payment_n yet_o it_o can_v discharge_v the_o whole_a debt_n we_o must_v then_o ascend_v high_a and_o if_o mean_n be_v use_v in_o the_o redemption_n sin_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n so_o need_v it_o must_v have_v the_o

other_o which_o sin_n be_v infinite_a require_v a_o infinite_a satisfaction_n and_o therefore_o none_o but_o god_n alone_o can_v suffice_v for_o in_o justice_n there_o must_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o offence_n and_o the_o punishment_n but_o if_o the_o punishment_n shall_v be_v infinite_a either_o in_o the_o torment_n or_o in_o the_o continuance_n than_o there_o be_v no_o place_n
