anti-psalmists_a of_o this_o age_n there_o be_v several_a pertinent_a meditation_n that_o may_v full_o take_v up_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n with_o great_a advantage_n and_o benefit_n to_o our_o soul_n as_o namely_o 1._o the_o dreadfulness_n of_o god_n justice_n which_o with_o a_o terrible_a stroke_n do_v smite_v the_o great_a shepherd_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o least_o dram_n of_o it_o will_v have_v sink_v we_o to_o all_o eternity_n 2._o the_o curse_a nature_n of_o sin_n that_o so_o exasperate_v the_o holy_a god_n and_o make_v such_o a_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n as_o can_v never_o be_v make_v up_o but_o by_o the_o break_a body_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n 3._o what_o it_o cost_v to_o redeem_v a_o soul_n a_o mass_n of_o gold_n as_o big_a as_o the_o whole_a earth_n not_o valuable_a with_o one_o drop_n of_o this_o blood_n 4._o what_o a_o infinite_a love_n break_v forth_o that_o god_n rather_o than_o let_v our_o soul_n be_v lose_v will_v send_v his_o eternal_a son_n and_o make_v he_o sin_n for_o we_o 5._o what_o a_o great_a work_n it_o be_v to_o reconcile_v a_o sinner_n to_o his_o god_n all_o name_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n be_v nothing_o to_o it_o all_o their_o suffering_n will_v not_o pay_v a_o penny_n of_o this_o debt_n which_o be_v not_o dissolve_v by_o any_o blood_n but_o of_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n 6._o that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o pardon_v sin_n by_o give_v forth_o a_o general_a pardon_n as_o a_o king_n pardon_v rebel_n but_o so_o pardon_v as_o may_v even_o melt_v the_o hard_a heart_n and_o for_o ever_o

the_o covenant_n though_o one_o man_n bad_a as_o many_o sin_n on_o he_o as_o all_o the_o world_n 8._o that_o god_n way_n of_o save_a man_n by_o a_o mediator_n the_o death_n of_o a_o mediator_n do_v oblige_v man_n to_o be_v the_o thankfull_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n angel_n that_o sin_v not_o have_v need_n of_o no_o mediator_n angel_n that_o sin_v have_v none_o man_n that_o sin_v and_o
