1_o they_o be_v sheep_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o innocency_n you_o know_v of_o all_o creature_n the_o sheep_n be_v unarm_v other_o creature_n either_o they_o be_v arm_v with_o strength_n or_o

however_o they_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o contempt_n and_o injury_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v the_o most_o profitable_a for_o be_v it_o not_o for_o they_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o nature_n will_v fall_v into_o piece_n the_o star_n will_v fall_v like_o leaf_n in_o autumn_n and_o all_o the_o element_n will_v fall_v into_o confusion_n we_o see_v it_o by_o one_o lot_n who_o keep_v shower_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n from_o fall_v on_o sodom_n till_o he_o be_v get_v out_o of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o who_o this_o frame_n of_o nature_n be_v continue_v and_o when_o they_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o fold_n of_o christ_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n will_v have_v a_o solemn_a triumph_n over_o all_o the_o world_n 4_o as_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o wander_v sheep_n be_v wander_a creature_n and_o when_o stray_v not_o able_a to_o reduce_v themselves_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v sheep_n they_o have_v a_o thousand_o

to_o heaven_n therefore_o david_n say_v i_o have_v go_v astray_o like_o a_o lose_a sheep_n seek_v thy_o servant_n psal_n 119.176_o this_o shall_v suffice_v to_o make_v the_o parallel_n and_o resemblance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o sheep_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o he_o have_v design_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o shepherd_n of_o the_o church_n the_o great_a shepherd_n of_o the_o sheep_n this_o be_v another_o argument_n and_o evidence_n that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n for_o when_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o be_v our_o sacrifice_n and_o raise_v he_o up_o to_o be_v our_o shepherd_n these_o be_v the_o most_o clear_a testimony_n of_o his_o love_n for_o although_o christ_n now_o sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o all_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n worship_v he_o you_z he_o do_v not_o disdain_v to_o exercise_v the_o same_o care_n and_o to_o express_v the_o same_o love_n to_o his_o people_n that_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n all_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n express_v god_n love_n to_o we_o for_o he_o feed_v we_o as_o a_o prophet_n dye_v for_o we_o as_o a_o priest_n govern_v and_o defend_v we_o as_o he_o be_v king_n and_o all_o these_o meet_v together_o in_o this_o title_n feed_v of_o we_o die_v for_o we_o defend_v of_o we_o as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o love_v we_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o die_v for_o we_o this_o do_v express_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o two_o nature_n in_o this_o title_n and_o therefore_o a_o admirable_a evidence_n that_o god_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o it_o follow_v through_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o which_o cement_v god_n and_o we_o together_o for_o you_o must_v remember_v our_o original_a peace_n with_o god_n be_v break_v that_o peace_n we_o have_v with_o he_o now_o be_v call_v reconciliation_n it_o be_v as_o a_o break_a bone_n which_o well_o set_v be_v strong_a than_o before_o because_o nature_n convey_v most_o liberal_a supply_n to_o the_o weak_a part_n so_o now_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n we_o stand_v upon_o sure_a

that_o covenant_n and_o now_o in_o heaven_n convey_v to_o we_o that_o blessing_n of_o peace_n which_o he_o bequeath_v in_o his_o death_n and_o as_o our_o peace_n be_v found_v in_o his_o blood_n so_o it_o be_v conserve_v by_o his_o intercession_n he_o appear_v in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n as_o out_o ambassador_n to_o make_v up_o all_o those_o difference_n which_o fall_v out_o between_o god_n

of_o the_o argument_n when_o we_o have_v fall_v from_o god_n and_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v with_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o make_v peace_n with_o we_o without_o satisfaction_n than_o be_v he_o
