the_o first_o 2._o jesus_n be_v and_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n in_o the_o world_n to_o mediate_v between_o god_n and_o we_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n fit_a to_o umpire_n the_o business_n between_o

man_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o mediate_v because_o man_n be_v the_o person_n offend_v angel_n not_o fit_a to_o mediate_v for_o the_o shoulder_n of_o a_o angel_n can_v not_o bear_v the_o weight_n of_o mediation-work_a neither_o can_v a_o angel_n satisfy_v god_n the_o father_n not_o fit_a for_o this_o work_n the_o first_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n for_o he_o be_v the_o person_n offend_v the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o fit_a for_o this_o work_n for_o it_o be_v his_o work_n to_o apply_v the_o blood_n of_o this_o mediation_n so_o then_o there_o be_v none_o other_o fit_a but_o christ_n fit_a jesus_n fit_a the_o fit_a person_n for_o first_o of_o all_o he_o be_v the_o person_n appoint_v by_o the_o father_n if_o a_o man_n will_v undertake_v to_o mediate_v between_o two_o and_o be_v not_o choose_v thereunto_o he_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o it_o but_o if_o choose_a than_o he_o be_v fit_a why_o jesus_n be_v the_o person_n choose_v my_o elect_a servant_n say_v the_o father_n who_o i_o have_v choose_v i_o have_v give_v he_o for_o a_o covenant_n unto_o the_o people_n isa_n 42._o 2._o he_o be_v and_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n to_o mediate_v between_o god_n and_o we_o for_o he_o be_v a_o middle_a person_n partake_v of_o god_n nature_n and_o of_o man_n extreme_n be_v join_v together_o by_o a_o middle_n who_o more_o fit_a to_o mediate_v between_o two_o than_o he_o that_o be_v a_o middle_n between_o they_o 3._o he_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n for_o he_o be_v the_o fit_a to_o make_v reconciliation_n between_o god_n and_o we_o to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o and_o we_o unto_o god_n first_o he_o be_v the_o fit_a to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o for_o that_o god_n may_v be_v reconcile_v he_o must_v be_v satisfy_v his_o justice_n satisfy_v and_o his_o anger_n satisfy_v now_o jesus_n christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n as_o man_n he_o ought_v to_o satisfy_v but_o can_v not_o as_o god_n he_o can_v satisfy_v but_o he_o ought_v not_o but_o as_o god-man_n he_o both_o can_v and_o ought_v and_o so_o the_o fit_a and_o again_o 2._o who_o more_o fit_a to_o reconcile_v god_n unto_o we_o than_o he_o that_o be_v the_o most_o fit_a to_o intercede_v that_o have_v credit_n and_o favour_n and_o love_n with_o the_o father_n now_o jesus_n lie_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o father_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n and_o i_o be_v the_o father_n delight_n say_v he_o in_o the_o 8_o of_o prov._n therefore_o the_o most_o fit_a to_o intercede_v and_o so_o to_o reconcile_v god_n unto_o we_o 3._o who_o more_o fit_a to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o than_o he_o that_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v a_o surety_n to_o undertake_v for_o we_o if_o a_o man_n come_v to_o mediate_v with_o a_o person_n offend_v for_o another_o say_v the_o person_n offend_v but_o will_v you_o undertake_v he_o shall_v do_v so_o no_o more_o yes_o why_o then_o i_o be_o willing_a now_o jesus_n be_v call_v our_o surety_n in_o the_o 8_o heb._n he_o undertake_v that_o though_o we_o have_v break_v with_o god_n already_o we_o shall_v break_v no_o more_o and_o therefore_o the_o fit_a person_n to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o but_o second_o the_o fit_a person_n also_o to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n 1._o who_o more_o fit_a to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n than_o he_o that_o can_v change_v our_o nature_n now_o jesus_n be_v able_a to_o change_v our_o nature_n i_o find_v say_v paul_n a_o law_n in_o my_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o my_o mind_n and_o bring_v i_o into_o captivity_n unto_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o my_o member_n o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n then_o i_o thank_v god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o rom._n 8.2_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o 2._o who_o more_o fit_a to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n than_o he_o that_o can_v beget_v good_a thought_n in_o we_o concern_v god_n so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v hard_a thought_n of_o god_n he_o will_v never_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n now_o jesus_n christ_n lie_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o father_n and_o can_v tell_v the_o soul_n what_o volume_n of_o love_n there_o be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n for_o it_o from_o all_o eternity_n and_o so_o can_v beget_v love_n in_o the_o soul_n towards_o god_n and_o so_o able_a to_o reconcile_v the_o soul_n to_o god_n you_o have_v it_o clear_o in_o john_n 1.18_o he_o lay_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n 3._o and_o then_o to_o say_v no_o more_o but_o this_o who_o more_o fit_a to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n than_o he_o that_o can_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o our_o soul_n for_o as_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n now_o jesus_n give_v the_o spirit_n i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n say_v christ_n so_o that_o he_o he_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n in_o all_o the_o world_n to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o and_o to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n and_o so_o the_o fit_a person_n in_o all_o the_o world_n to_o mediate_v between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o so_o you_o have_v the_o second_o thing_n 3._o but_o than_o three_o as_o jesus_n be_v the_o fit_a person_n to_o mediate_v between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o he_o have_v undertake_v this_o work_n of_o mediation_n and_o he_o will_v certain_o carry_v it_o on_o unto_o due_a perfection_n first_o i_o say_v he_o have_v undertake_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v the_o mediator_n 1_o tim._n 2.5_o for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o alone_o be_v the_o mediator_n i_o confess_v indeed_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v give_v to_o moses_n and_o moses_n in_o the_o 3d._n of_o gal._n be_v call_v a_o a_o mediator_n the_o law_n be_v ordain_v by_o angel_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n vers_fw-la 19_o that_o be_v not_o christ_n but_o the_o law_n be_v ordain_v by_o angel_n in_o the_o hand_n that_o be_v by_o the_o

concern_v christ_n be_v use_v here_o but_o now_o although_o moses_n be_v a_o mediator_n a_o typical_a mediator_n and_o do_v stand_v between_o god_n and_o the_o people_n as_o in_o the_o 5_o of_o deut._n to_o deliver_v out_o the_o law_n unto_o they_o vers_n 5._o i_o stand_v between_o the_o lord_n and_o you_o at_o that_o time_n to_o show_v you_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n though_o i_o say_v moses_n be_v call_v a_o mediator_n because_o he_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o the_o people_n to_o give_v and_o deliver_v out_o the_o law_n to_o they_o yet_o you_o never_o find_v that_o moses_n be_v call_v a_o mediator_n in_o a_o way_n of_o redemption_n or_o satisfaction_n or_o pay_v of_o any_o ransom_n so_o jesus_n only_o be_v in_o the_o 1_o tim._n 2._o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o and_o so_o in_o the_o 9th_o heb._n for_o this_o cause_n he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o what_o cause_n why_o vers_fw-la 14._o how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v up_o himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v he_o the_o mediator_n it_o be_v never_o say_v so_o of_o moses_n no_o but_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o he_o only_o the_o mediator_n in_o a_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o redemption_n and_o pay_v of_o a_o price_n well_o thus_o he_o have_v undertake_v the_o work_n and_o certain_o he_o will_v carry_v on_o his_o work_n of_o mediation_n unto_o due_a perfection_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n as_o moses_n be_v moses_n a_o servant_n he_o as_o a_o son_n moses_n the_o

we_o shall_v be_v conform_v to_o he_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o desertion_n christ_n be_v desert_v christ_n be_v forsake_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o sure_o the_o disciple_n be_v not_o above_o his_o master_n but_o four_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o this_o that_o god_n love_v to_o see_v the_o working_n of_o all_o our_o grace_n our_o faith_n and_o love_v especial_o there_o be_v some_o grace_n that_o do_v not_o open_v nor_o show_v themselves_o but_o in_o the_o sunshining_a day_n of_o god_n presence_n when_o the_o sun_n shine_v the_o marigold_n open_v when_o the_o

towards_o we_o when_o he_o be_v present_a be_v no_o great_a matter_n though_o it_o be_v good_a but_o when_o god_n be_v go_v when_o god_n be_v absent_a then_o to_o believe_v his_o love_n be_v faith_n worthy_a of_o god_n as_o parisiensis_fw-la speak_v thus_o also_o our_o love_n unto_o god_n do_v and_o will_v appear_v for_o when_o god_n be_v present_a with_o we_o and_o shine_v upon_o we_o than_o

the_o book_n of_o the_o cant._n we_o find_v that_o when_o christ_n do_v withdraw_v from_o his_o spouse_n and_o she_o can_v not_o find_v he_o chap._n 5.6_o she_o search_v after_o he_o inquire_v for_o

desertion_n of_o his_o people_n that_o his_o with-drawment_a from_o they_o shall_v draw_v other_o to_o he_o and_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v there_o be_v reason_n and_o good_a reason_n why_o god_n shall_v some_o time_n depart_v from_o forsake_v and_o be_v absent_a even_o from_o his_o own_o people_n for_o a_o time_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n 2._o second_o the_o saint_n and_o

have_v it_o in_o the_o 13_o psalm_n how_o long_o will_v thou_o forget_v i_o o_o lord_n for_o ever_o how_o long_o will_v thou_o hide_v thy_o face_n from_o i_o how_o long_o shall_v i_o take_v counsel_n in_o my_o soul_n four_o how_o belong_v how_o long_o how_o long_o how_o long_o how_o long_o it_o be_v a_o very_a tedious_a thing_n and_o most_o afflictive_a to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o lie_v under_o god_n departure_n it_o be_v so_o with_o christ_n you_o may_v measure_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n by_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n the_o first_o in_o every_o kind_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o rest_n christ_n be_v the_o first_o of_o saint_n now_o though_o our_o saviour_n christ_n meet_v with_o many_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n in_o his_o death_n you_o shall_v find_v he_o be_v

this_o body_n of_o death_n will_v you_o not_o conclude_v thereby_o that_o the_o body_n of_o death_n be_v a_o great_a burden_n that_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v a_o great_a burden_n so_o when_o christ_n himself_o shall_v cry_v out_o and_o complain_v of_o god_n forsake_v and_o depart_v will_v you_o not_o conclude_v then_o sure_o this_o be_v a_o burden_n indeed_o this_o be_v that_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n be_v the_o most_o sensible_a of_o 2._o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o gracious_a soul_n to_o be_v most_o affect_v with_o the_o inside_n and_o the_o
