christ_n make_v it_o appear_v i_o ask_v he_o how_o do_v it_o receive_v christ_n jesus_n the_o lord_n sure_o he_o can_v but_o say_v as_o he_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n well_o then_o the_o lord_n who_o know_v what_o we_o be_v offer_v he_o to_o we_o and_o make_v he_o to_o we_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n so_o that_o god_n in_o the_o offer_n of_o his_o christ_n as_o a_o king_n look_v upon_o the_o sinner_n in_o the_o same_o capacity_n to_o obey_v he_o as_o in_o the_o offer_n of_o he_o as_o a_o priest_n he_o be_v to_o pay_v his_o debt_n and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o in_o no_o capacity_n but_o as_o opposite_a to_o such_o a_o thing_n of_o himself_o hence_o it_o as_o evident_a that_o faith_n receive_v christ_n as_o a_o king_n not_o by_o promise_v or_o purpose_v to_o obey_v he_o but_o from_o a_o conviction_n of_o its_o own_o aversion_n to_o purpose_n to_o please_v god_n that_o he_o by_o his_o kingly_a power_n shall_v kill_v the_o enmity_n conquer_v the_o soul_n bring_v it_o to_o purpose_n as_o well_o as_o practice_v work_n in_o it_o to_o will_v as_o well_o as_o to_o do_v cast_v down_o imagination_n that_o exalt_v themselves_o against_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o bring_v every_o thought_n in_o captivity_n to_o his_o obedience_n so_o when_o faith_n act_v on_o he_o as_o a_o prophet_n there_o be_v in_o this_o act_n neither_o purpose_n nor_o promise_n to_o obey_v he_o as_o a_o teacher_n etc._n etc._n but_o from_o a_o conviction_n that_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o only_o void_a of_o light_n but_o it_o be_v prepossess_v with_o corrupt_a principle_n so_o that_o the_o man_n that_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n take_v up_o the_o whole_a gospel_n mystery_n as_o foolishness_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o know_v these_o thing_n since_o they_o must_v be_v spiritual_o discern_v i_o say_v from_o this_o conviction_n he_o receive_v christ_n as_o his_o wisdom_n as_o he_o that_o shall_v give_v he_o a_o
