of_o a_o christian_n if_o death_n be_v not_o be_v it_o not_o the_o most_o miserable_a of_o all_o other_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o death_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o resurrection_n therefore_o death_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a great_a advantage_n it_o be_v that_o that_o make_v way_n for_o we_o to_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n and_o to_o give_v we_o possession_n of_o that_o everlasting_a kingdom_n that_o be_v provide_v for_o we_o whether_o they_o be_v thing_n present_a or_o thing_n to_o come_v that_o be_v all_o that_o belong_v to_o this_o present_a life_n and_o not_o only_o those_o but_o those_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o life_n to_o come_v all_o those_o be_v you_o this_o be_v that_o we_o have_v by_o christ._n he_o and_o last_o consider_v how_o fair_a a_o life_n you_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o in_o what_o plenty_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o your_o heart_n can_v desire_v but_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o in_o that_o security_n that_o you_o need_v fear_v no_o enemy_n whereas_o other_o man_n have_v a_o thousand_o fear_n a_o christian_n have_v this_o benefit_n he_o make_v the_o lord_n his_o dread_n that_o he_o need_v fear_v nothing_o but_o he_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o his_o enemy_n consider_v with_o what_o contentment_n thou_o shall_v live_v that_o thou_o have_v such_o a_o husband_n that_o be_v a_o adequate_a object_n that_o i_o may_v so_o say_v that_o shall_v fill_v thy_o soul_n that_o when_o thou_o have_v he_o thou_o need_v not_o thirst_v after_o any_o thing_n beside_o that_o be_v the_o great_a benefit_n that_o be_v promise_v that_o thou_o shall_v thirst_v no_o more_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v marry_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o be_v so_o fill_v and_o satisfy_v with_o contentment_n that_o he_o let_v all_o other_o thing_n go_v if_o he_o have_v they_o so_o it_o be_v if_o he_o want_v they_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n he_o have_v one_o that_o be_v contentment_n enough_o to_o he_o he_o have_v one_o that_o be_v instead_o of_o all_o but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o i_o have_v this_o husband_n i_o object_n must_v live_v in_o subjection_n to_o he_o our_o will_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o his_o will_n our_o liberty_n must_v be_v take_v from_o we_o my_o belove_a what_o if_o it_o be_v you_o must_v consider_v christ._n what_o kind_n of_o subjection_n it_o be_v it_o be_v such_o a_o subjection_n as_o whereby_o the_o member_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o head_n now_o do_v you_o think_v it_o any_o burden_n for_o the_o member_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o head_n it_o be_v a_o natural_a subjection_n that_o be_v such_o a_o subjection_n as_o be_v convenient_a for_o you_o therefore_o if_o you_o complain_v you_o have_v lose_v your_o liberty_n know_v it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a when_o you_o have_v match_v with_o christ_n now_o you_o be_v deliver_v from_o bondage_n and_o set_v at_o liberty_n ay_o but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o a_o object_n man_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v liberty_n be_v a_o sweet_a thing_n and_o to_o part_v with_o this_o and_o now_o to_o live_v under_o a_o husband_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n for_o this_o my_o belove_v i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v true_a for_o a_o man_n to_o live_v as_o he_o will_v if_o his_o hurtful_a will_v be_v right_a it_o be_v a_o great_a benefit_n but_o for_o a_o frantic_a man_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v for_o a_o man_n who_o will_n be_v set_v upon_o thing_n hurtful_a to_o himself_o for_o such_o a_o man_n to_o have_v his_o will_n it_o be_v better_a he_o be_v restrain_v and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o every_o man_n till_o he_o be_v match_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n therefore_o that_o you_o may_v know_v what_o this_o liberty_n be_v we_o will_v put_v you_o but_o this_o case_n you_o must_v know_v that_o every_o man_n be_v marry_v to_o one_o of_o these_o two_o husband_n either_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n or_o to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n either_o he_o be_v in_o bondage_n to_o the_o flesh_n or_o to_o the_o spirit_n either_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o christ_n or_o else_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o satan_n now_o consider_v which_o of_o these_o two_o thou_o will_v choose_v whether_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n or_o to_o christ_n and_o that_o you_o may_v know_v which_o to_o choose_v i_o will_v express_v it_o to_o you_o by_o this_o it_o be_v as_o when_o a_o sick_a man_n lie_v between_o the_o physician_n and_o the_o disease_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a to_o one_o of_o simile_n they_o the_o disease_n counsel_v he_o to_o do_v one_o thing_n the_o physician_n another_o now_o consider_v which_o of_o these_o two_o thou_o will_v obey_v you_o will_v say_v i_o will_v do_v what_o i_o list_v i_o will_v do_v as_o my_o disease_n suggest_v to_o i_o and_o will_v have_v i_o do_v that_o seem_v easy_a for_o the_o present_a but_o will_v not_o this_o increase_v thy_o bondage_n and_o pay_v thou_o with_o death_n in_o the_o end_n on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o thou_o be_v content_a to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o physician_n and_o have_v thy_o will_n subject_a to_o he_o do_v not_o this_o draw_v to_o liberty_n and_o restore_v health_n and_o bring_v thou_o to_o life_n therefore_o consider_v what_o a_o small_a objection_n that_o be_v and_o consider_v withal_o what_o you_o will_v choose_v for_o i_o say_v every_o man_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o one_o husband_n and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o difference_n of_o these_o husband_n consider_v that_o in_o roman_n 7._o you_o 7._o shall_v find_v there_o that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o marry_v to_o christ_n be_v subject_a to_o another_o husband_n that_o be_v the_o law_n know_v you_o not_o brethren_n that_o the_o law_n have_v dominion_n over_o a_o man_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v for_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n to_o the_o man_n while_o he_o live_v and_o if_o she_o take_v another_o man_n she_o shall_v be_v call_v a_o adulteress_n but_o if_o the_o man_n be_v dead_a she_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n so_o that_o she_o be_v not_o a_o adulteress_n though_o she_o take_v another_o man_n this_o be_v but_o the_o similitude_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v before_o ever_o a_o man_n be_v marry_v to_o christ_n he_o be_v marry_v to_o the_o law_n and_o he_o can_v be_v marry_v to_o christ_n jesus_n till_o he_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n and_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a once_o to_o that_o than_o he_o may_v be_v marry_v to_o he_o now_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o reddition_n of_o this_o similitude_n so_o you_o brethren_n be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o you_o may_v be_v marry_v to_o another_o to_o he_o that_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a that_o you_o may_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n for_o when_o you_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v by_o the_o law_n have_v force_n in_o your_o member_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n etc._n etc._n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o till_o a_o man_n be_v match_v to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o moral_a law_n that_o be_v write_v in_o every_o man_n conscience_n it_o rule_v there_o like_o a_o hard_a husband_n a_o severe_a cruel_a husband_n that_o set_v a_o hard_a task_n to_o do_v and_o give_v no_o strength_n at_o all_o to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o bring_v forth_o death_n for_o when_o the_o law_n command_v a_o man_n to_o do_v a_o thing_n he_o have_v no_o ability_n to_o perform_v it_o and_o withal_o it_o do_v signify_v unto_o he_o that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o perform_v it_o he_o shall_v be_v curse_v this_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n and_o so_o a_o man_n live_v in_o bondage_n all_o his_o time_n so_o that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o marry_v to_o christ_n he_o be_v all_o the_o while_o subject_a to_o a_o evil_a conscience_n to_o the_o law_n that_o suggest_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v with_o threaten_v he_o if_o not_o and_o when_o conscience_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o perform_v it_o it_o be_v a_o continual_a vexation_n a_o burden_n and_o a_o grief_n to_o he_o but_o now_o when_o he_o be_v marry_v to_o christ_n than_o he_o serve_v in_o newness_n of_o spirit_n not_o in_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o letter_n as_o it_o follow_v there_o that_o be_v he_o do_v every_o thing_n free_o he_o do_v it_o out_o of_o choice_n he_o do_v that_o which_o his_o own_o spirit_n carry_v he_o to_o look_v what_o commandment_n he_o have_v he_o have_v some_o ability_n to_o perform_v
all_o his_o attribute_n and_o how_o that_o the_o lord_n himself_o will_v become_v thou_o consider_v attribute_n the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o christ_n his_o almighty_a power_n consider_v his_o

all_o this_o be_v for_o my_o use_n and_o advantage_n this_o be_v a_o great_a motive_n to_o win_v we_o to_o match_v with_o he_o as_o you_o know_v in_o earthly_a marriage_n the_o excellency_n of_o a_o husband_n the_o part_n that_o be_v in_o he_o those_o that_o be_v inherent_a in_o his_o very_a person_n be_v the_o great_a motive_n of_o all_o other_o think_v therefore_o of_o all_o christ_n

my_o protection_n upon_o all_o occasion_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o he_o be_v i_o he_o himself_o be_v become_v my_o portion_n this_o be_v a_o great_a motive_n to_o we_o beside_o this_o consider_v that_o thou_o have_v not_o only_o he_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n alone_o with_o all_o his_o attribute_n but_o how_o much_o come_v with_o he_o which_o add_v to_o this_o as_o the_o immunity_n thou_o have_v

luke_n 1._o 74._o that_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o our_o enemy_n we_o may_v serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n 74._o and_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n this_o we_o

to_o pay_v my_o debt_n my_o belove_a we_o consider_v not_o what_o a_o benefit_n this_o be_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v jesus_n christ_n at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o you_o come_v to_o die_v when_o you_o shall_v be_v arrest_v by_o death_n now_o to_o have_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o undertake_v all_o your_o debt_n now_o to_o be_v under_o covert_n it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n as_o you_o know_v to_o express_v it_o to_o you_o a_o little_a what_o it_o be_v judas_n when_o he_o have_v commit_v that_o great_a sin_n he_o be_v indict_v and_o arrest_v he_o have_v none_o to_o flee_v to_o peter_z when_o he_o have_v commit_v a_o sin_n he_o have_v a_o covert_a to_o go_v to_o and_o you_o all_o know_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v between_o their_o condition_n in_o the_o event_n upon_o both_o

of_o sin_n but_o of_o all_o calamity_n in_o which_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o husband_n to_o be_v a_o refuge_n for_o you_o i_o say_v david_n when_o he_o be_v in_o distress_n upon_o any_o occasion_n when_o his_o city_n be_v burn_v and_o his_o wife_n take_v he_o have_v a_o covert_a to_o fly_v to_o but_o when_o saul_n be_v in_o distress_n he_o have_v none_o he_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n but_o he_o have_v no_o answer_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o consider_v this_o that_o we_o have_v a_o covert_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v rain_v down_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n upon_o

under_o shelter_n such_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ._n beside_o this_o immunity_n consider_v all_o those_o great_a privilege_n that_o do_v come_v by_o he_o for_o this_o riches_n be_v not_o all_o but_o when_o you_o have_v match_v with_o he_o he_o will_v make_v you_o rich_a he_o will_v make_v you_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n all_o the_o precious_a promise_n belong_v to_o promise_n you_o which_o it_o may_v be_v you_o reckon_v a_o small_a matter_n but_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v most_o precious_a and_o will_v make_v one_o rich_a as_o you_o know_v a_o

when_o thou_o be_v match_v to_o thy_o husband_n to_o live_v as_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o maid_n still_o thou_o must_v not_o think_v to_o match_v with_o thy_o husband_n and_o to_o live_v as_o thou_o

not_o think_v to_o match_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o break_v the_o sabbath_n and_o neglect_v holy_a duty_n and_o violate_v thy_o conscience_n thou_o must_v know_v that_o all_o thy_o old_a

beside_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o what_o keep_v man_n off_o from_o this_o first_o you_o shall_v find_v one_o great_a general_a cause_n be_v inconfideration_n this_o be_v the_o

27._o when_o 27_o moses_n have_v make_v a_o exhortation_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o receive_v the_o strange_a god_n of_o the_o people_n but_o come_v into_o covenant_n and_o be_v marry_v to_o he_o for_o that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o chapter_n threaten_v withal_o that_o when_o they_o shall_v provoke_v he_o to_o jealousy_n he_o will_v provoke_v they_o say_v he_o oh_o that_o you_o be_v wise_a to_o consider_v your_o latter_a end_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o you_o come_v not_o in_o and_o keep_v not_o close_o to_o the_o lord_n oh_o that_o you_o be_v wise_a to_o consider_v for_o it_o be_v a_o man_n wisdom_n to_o consider_v this_o for_o a_o wise_a man_n stand_v as_o one_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o a_o high_a hill_n or_o a_o rock_n and_o so_o he_o look_v round_o about_o he_o and_o see_v all_o event_n before_o they_o come_v whereas_o a_o fool_n be_v take_v unaware_o by_o death_n he_o be_v arrest_v and_o judgement_n come_v upon_o he_o on_o the_o

and_o judgement_n break_v in_o upon_o they_o which_o by_o consideration_n may_v be_v prevent_v therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o you_o must_v consider_v i_o say_v consider_v if_o this_o be_v not_o thy_o case_n as_o it_o be_v of_o many_o man_n many_o owe_v more_o than_o they_o be_v worth_a more_o than_o they_o know_v how_o to_o pay_v now_o if_o they_o will_v but_o consider_v their_o case_n and_o but_o cast_v up_o their_o account_n it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v seek_v out_o for_o a_o match_n to_o discharge_v all_o but_o they_o neglect_v it_o and_o be_v secure_a &_o a_o arrest_n come_v on_o they_o and_o they_o be_v cast_v into_o prison_n and_o now_o it_o be_v too_o late_o therefore_o i_o say_v to_o every_o man_n of_o you_o consider_v thy_o debt_n thy_o sin_n yea_o consider_v those_o

consider_v what_o a_o sleep_a sin_n be_v you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o the_o case_n of_o joab_n when_o he_o have_v commit_v those_o foul_a murder_n of_o abner_n and_o amasa_n the_o lord_n let_v it_o sleep_v for_o a_o time_n and_o joab_n be_v secure_a but_o you_o see_v in_o due_a season_n he_o have_v not_o sue_v out_o his_o pardon_n the_o arrest_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o solomon_n slay_v he_o and_o such_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o shemei_n that_o he_o commit_v against_o david_n it_o lay_v a_o sleep_n for_o a_o time_n such_o be_v the_o case_n of_o josephs_n brethren_n in_o that_o they_o do_v against_o joseph_n many_o year_n together_o it_o lay_v quiet_a when_o it_o awaken_v they_o see_v what_o it_o be_v with_o anguish_n therefore_o consider_v what_o a_o sleep_a sin_n be_v the_o forgetfulness_n of_o which_o make_v man_n secure_a man_n commit_v sin_n and_o they_o be_v in_o health_n and_o forget_v they_o and_o so_o not_o consider_v their_o debt_n they_o regard_v not_o this_o match_n and_o go_v not_o about_o it_o there_o be_v another_o part_n of_o security_n wherewith_o man_n be_v involve_v and_o that_o be_v they_o think_v they_o enough_o have_v match_v

without_o the_o body_n so_o nor_o christ_n without_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o lest_o this_o may_v be_v think_v too_o much_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o body_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o

10._o deut._n 13._o in_o 13_o the_o former_a verse_n he_o have_v show_v that_o god_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o they_o and_o therefore_o may_v do_v as_o other_o master_n that_o command_v

that_o there_o be_v a_o match_n between_o church_n christ_n and_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o between_o christ_n and_o every_o particular_a man_n that_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o true_a

what_o similitude_n it_o have_v with_o the_o ordinary_a marriage_n which_o be_v between_o a_o man_n and_o his_o wife_n here_o upon_o earth_n it_o consist_v in_o these_o five_o thing_n first_o as_o in_o marriage_n there_o must_v be_v consent_n of_o parent_n the_o parent_n so_o here_o the_o father_n have_v give_v his_o son_n to_o we_o and_o likewise_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o the_o son_n wherein_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v bestow_v his_o own_o son_n upon_o we_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o ephes._n 1_o

party_n together_o wherein_o we_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o consider_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o son_n the_o husband_n because_o we_o know_v that_o the_o man_n be_v the_o suitor_n he_o

be_v such_o a_o husband_n for_o she_o she_o indeed_o have_v most_o need_n to_o seek_v because_o she_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o such_o a_o husband_n christ_n match_v with_o she_o not_o for_o any_o

we_o have_v that_o danger_n wrought_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o a_o double_a work_n one_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n discover_v to_o we_o the_o thraldom_n and_o bondage_n the_o
