he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o it_o to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n therefore_o the_o second_o adam_n jesus_n christ_n die_v the_o death_n of_o body_n &_o suffer_v the_o death_n in_o soul_n to_o redeem_v we_o and_o to_o satisfy_v god_n wrath_n &_o displeasure_n conceive_v most_o just_o against_o our_o sin_n in_o adam_n this_o death_n be_v signify_v in_o

of_o the_o leviticall_a law_n but_o also_o in_o diverse_a man_n as_o samson_n who_o die_v himself_o to_o deliver_v his_o people_n from_o the_o philistines_n so_o christ_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o devil_n die_v himself_o david_n also_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o in_o many_o thing_n here_o we_o see_v then_o what_o a_o grievous_a thing_n sin_n be_v in_o god_n sight_n that_o he_o can_v be_v pacify_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n then_o by_o the_o blood_n &_o death_n of_o his_o only_a and_o well-beloved_a son_n jesus_n sure_o our_o sin_n be_v as_o hard_o as_o the_o adamant_n stone_n which_o can_v not_o be_v break_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n then_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o true_a goat_n jesus_n christ_n consider_v here_o the_o wonderful_a &_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o christ_n he_o will_v die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v escape_v even_o as_o the_o pelicane_n which_o have_v bring_v forth_o her_o young_a one_o dead_a or_o be_v sting_v &_o kill_v by_o serpent_n she_o peck_v

thus_o we_o see_v how_o deep_o we_o be_v indebt_v to_o christ_n for_o his_o great_a love_n to_o we_o in_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o how_o few_o remember_v this_o death_n many_o not_o once_o

of_o we_o for_o that_o he_o may_v have_v we_o to_o remember_v it_o the_o better_a he_o institute_v his_o last_o supper_n in_o bread_n &_o wine_n the_o bread_n break_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o

of_o bread_n so_o shall_v we_o be_v but_o one_o in_o christ_n our_o head_n for_o we_o be_v all_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n the_o other_o sacrament_n also_o of_o baptism_n do_v put_v we_o in_o

filthiness_n which_o thing_n be_v represent_v unto_o we_o in_o our_o baptism_n a_o sign_n of_o our_o new_a birth_n and_o regeneration_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n therefore_o in_o our_o baptism_n we_o ought_v to_o remember_v this_o death_n for_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o into_o his_o death_n by_o this_o seal_n and_o sacrament_n of_o our_o baptism_n as_o paul_n prove_v rom._n 6._o now_o we_o see_v that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v remember_v this_o great_a benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n we_o have_v token_n of_o it_o two_o in_o number_n the_o supper_n of_o christ_n and_o

have_v die_v for_o we_o &_o taste_v death_n once_o for_o all_o man_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n &_o to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n he_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o second_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o not_o this_o first_o &_o natural_a death_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o for_o by_o it_o we_o enter_v into_o life_n and_o although_o it_o be_v sometime_o grievous_a to_o god_n child_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o deadly_a to_o they_o nay_o rather_o joyful_a see_v by_o it_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n their_o head_n as_o it_o be_v to_o paul_n i_o desire_v say_v he_o to_o be_v loose_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n meaning_n to_o die_v for_o albeit_o this_o death_n of_o the_o body_n dwell_v in_o we_o yet_o it_o have_v no_o dominion_n over_o we_o by_o the_o force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v make_v now_o to_o the_o elect_a a_o gate_n to_o pass_v by_o into_o heaven_n we_o shall_v not_o then_o fear_v death_n see_v that_o the_o loss_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n be_v the_o high_a way_n into_o god_n everlasting_a kingdom_n and_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v concern_v sin_n also_o if_o any_o man_n ask_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o have_v sin_n still_o remain_v in_o we_o see_v christ_n have_v die_v for_o it_o to_o take_v it_o away_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o condemnation_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o hurt_v we_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o destruction_n but_o the_o full_a abolish_n of_o

be_v no_o condemnation_n of_o sin_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n rom._n 8._o for_o see_v the_o wonderful_a
