incomprehensible_a mystery_n how_o a_o man_n by_o nature_n can_v be_v a_o god_n real_o and_o true_o by_o office_n how_o the_o incommunicable_a perfection_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o a_o creature_n how_o god_n shall_v give_v his_o glory_n to_o another_o and_o by_o his_o own_o command_n require_v that_o to_o be_v give_v to_o a_o creature_n which_o himself_o have_v absolute_o forbid_v to_o be_v give_v to_o any_o beside_o himself_o it_o be_v say_v by_o a_o famous_a jesui●_n i_o will_v not_o say_v how_o agrecable_o to_o their_o own_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n about_o divine_a worship_n that_o the_o command_n of_o god_n 45._o can_v make_v he_o worthy_a of_o divine_a worship_n who_o without_o such_o a_o command_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o say_v that_o he_o that_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o without_o a_o command_n ●an_v become_v worthy_a by_o it_o for_o it_o make_v god_n to_o command_v divine_a honour_n to_o be_v give_v to_o one_o who_o can_v deserve_v it_o for_o no_o mere_a man_n can_v deserve_v to_o be_v 42._o make_v god_n but_o it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o will_v not_o to_o give_v his_o honour_n to_o a_o creature_n 3._o but_o after_o all_o the_o invective_n of_o these_o enemy_n to_o mystery_n we_o do_v not_o make_v that_o which_o we_o say_v be_v incomprehensible_a to_o be_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v incomprehensible_a but_o we_o do_v assert_v that_o what_o be_v incomprehensible_a as_o to_o the_o manner_n may_v be_v a_o necessary_a article_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v plain_o reveal_v as_o in_o the_o instance_n i_o have_v already_o mention_v of_o the_o creation_n and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a will_v they_o in_o earnest_n have_v man_n turn_v infidel_n as_o to_o these_o thing_n till_o they_o be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v all_o the_o difficulty_n which_o relate_v to_o they_o if_o not_o why_o shall_v this_o suggestion_n be_v allow_v as_o to_o the_o mystery_n which_o relate_v to_o our_o redemption_n by_o jesus_n christ_n if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o case_n be_v not_o alike_o for_o those_o be_v clear_o reveal_v and_o these_o be_v not_o this_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a issue_n of_o this_o matte●_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o prove_v a_o clear_a revelation_n we_o do_v not_o assert_v their_o be_v necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n but_o my_o present_a business_n be_v only_o to_o take_v off_o this_o objection_n that_o the_o m●steries_n be_v incomprehensible_a and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v receive_v by_o we_o ii_o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o way_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o examine_v the_o several_a sense_n of_o christ_n jesus_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n which_o of_o they_o tend_v more_o to_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o mankind_n or_o which_o be_v more_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n and_o that_o will_v appear_v by_o consider_v these_o thing_n 1._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o raise_v our_o esteem_n and_o love_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 2._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o beget_n in_o we_o a_o great_a hatred_n of_o sin_n 3._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o strengthen_v our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ._n 1._o as_o to_o the_o raise_n in_o we_o a_o great_a esteem_n and_o love_n of_o christ._n we_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o infinite_a love_n and_o condescension_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o undertake_v such_o a_o work_n as_o the_o save_n of_o sinner_n make_v it_o most_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n some_o man_n may_v please_v themselves_o in_o think_v that_o by_o take_v away_o all_o mystery_n they_o have_v make_v their_o faith_n more_o easy_a but_o i_o be_o certain_a they_o have_v extreme_o lessen_v the_o argument_n for_o our_o love_n viz._n the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o wonderful_a love_n and_o condescension_n of_o christ_n in_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o persuade_v mankind_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o son_n god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o 16._o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o mighty_a argument_n of_o love_n if_o by_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n be_v mean_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n who_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n as_o st._n john_n speak_v just_a before_o 13._o but_o if_o no_o more_o be_v mean_v but_o only_o that_o god_n make_v a_o mere_a man_n to_o be_v h●s_a son_n and_o after_o he_o have_v preach_v a_o while_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o be_v ill_o use_v and_o crucify_v by_o his_o own_o people_n he_o exalt_v he_o to_o be_v god_n and_o give_v he_o divine_a attribute_n and_o honour_n this_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o great_a love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o not_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n but_o god_n love_n in_o scripture_n be_v magnify_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o world_n in_o the_o send_n of_o his_o son_n in_o this_o be_v manifest_v 9_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o because_o that_o god_n send_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v through_o he_o herein_o be_v love_n 10._o not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o great_a love_n we_o still_o see_v be_v towards_o we_o i_o e._n towards_o mankind_n but_o according_a to_o the_o other_o sense_n it_o must_v have_v be_v herein_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n manifest_v to_o his_o son_n that_o for_o his_o suffering_n he_o exalt_v he_o above_o all_o creature_n he_o that_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n 32._o say_v st._n paul_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o if_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n who_o come_v to_o suffer_v for_o we_o there_o be_v a_o mighty_a force_n and_o emphasis_n in_o this_o expression_n and_o very_o apt_a to_o raise_v our_o admiration_n and_o our_o love_n but_o what_o not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n be_v there_o if_o nothing_o be_v mean_v but_o that_o he_o design_v by_o suffering_n to_o exalt_v he_o for_o not_o spare_v he_o suppose_v a_o antecedent_n relation_n of_o the_o high_a kindness_n but_o the_o other_o be_v only_o design_v extraordinary_a kindness_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o suffering_n therefore_o the_o argument_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v take_v from_o what_o his_o son_n be_v when_o he_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o he_o be_v his_o own_o son_n not_o by_o adoption_n as_o other_o be_v sy_n john_n call_v he_o his_o only_o 16._o beget_v son_n and_o god_n himself_o his_o belove_a 22._o son_n in_o the_o voice_n from_o heaven_n and_o this_o before_o his_o suffering_n immediate_o after_o his_o baptism_n when_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o extraordinary_a do_v by_o he_o as_o to_o the_o great_a design_n of_o his_o come_n which_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o antecedent_n relation_n between_o he_o and_o the_o father_n and_o that_o therein_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v manifest_v that_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o for_o our_o sake_n do_v and_o suffer_v what_o he_o do_v this_o be_v indeed_o a_o argument_n great_a enough_o to_o raise_v our_o admiration_n to_o excite_v our_o devotion_n to_o inflame_v our_o affection_n but_o how_o flat_a and_o low_o do_v it_o appear_v when_o it_o come_v to_o no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o man_n who_o after_o his_o suffering_n god_n raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o make_v he_o a_o god_n by_o office_n do_v this_o carry_v any_o such_o argument_n in_o it_o for_o our_o esteem_n and_o love_n and_o devotion_n to_o he_o as_o the_o other_o do_v upon_o the_o most_o serious_a consideration_n of_o it_o 2._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o beget_v in_o we_o a_o great_a hatred_n of_o sin_n for_o that_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o way_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o what_o tend_v most_o to_o our_o hatred_n of_o it_o must_v conduce_v most_o to_o our_o happiness_n and_o ●herefore_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n it_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v very_o much_o both_o in_o his_o mind_n and_o in_o his_o body_n in_o his_o mind_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v trouble_v in_o spirit_n that_o 38._o he_o begin_v to_o be_v sorrowful_a and_o very_a heavy_a and_o soon_o after_o my_o soul_n be_v exceed_o sorrowful_a even_o unto_o death_n st._n luke_n say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o agony_n wherein_o 44._o he_o not_o only_o pray_v more_o
not_o seem_v to_o confine_v the_o consequence_n here_o mention_v to_o another_o world_n although_o the_o full_a accomplishment_n of_o they_o be_v only_o there_o to_o be_v expect_v but_o if_o we_o attend_v to_o his_o scope_n and_o design_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o forego_n chapter_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o even_o in_o this_o life_n the_o result_n of_o a_o carnal_a mind_n be_v a_o sort_n of_o a_o spiritual_a death_n and_o of_o a_o spiritual_a mind_n be_v life_n and_o peace_n for_o when_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o 7●h_o chapter_n have_v represent_v himself_o as_o carnal_a and_o sell_v under_o sin_n although_o there_o be_v 14_o great_a struggle_n between_o the_o conviction_n of_o his_o conscience_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o carnal_a inclination_n yet_o as_o long_o as_o the_o latter_a prevail_v so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o his_o mind_n and_o reason_n tell_v he_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o do_v those_o

from_o these_o consideration_n 1._o it_o require_v a_o great_a knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o as_o to_o our_o spiritual_a condition_n than_o most_o person_n in_o the_o world_n can_v pretend_v to_o for_o

of_o our_o action_n which_o can_v make_v we_o capable_a of_o pass_v a_o true_a judgement_n upon_o the_o temper_n of_o our_o mind_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o true_a light_n a_o serious_a and_o

believe_v no_o life_n after_o this_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o pain_n and_o martyrdom_n of_o those_o who_o have_v suffer_v for_o their_o religion_n these_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v far_o more_o
