James 1. 18. 2 Corinthians 4. 1. 4. with chap. 3. Not because this speaking of God by Jesuus Christ is more true then any of his former speakings in the Law or by the Prophets that cannot be for as his righteousness is everlasting so his whole Law or Doctrine is the truth The righteousness of his testimonies is everlasting his word true from the beginning and every one of his righteous judgements for ever They are all infinite in truth and faithfulness like himselfe so that no one of them can be more true Psalm 119. 140. 142. 144. 160. with Psalm 12. 6 7. and Proverbs 22. 20 21.

Rom. 1. 16 17. and 3. 21. 2 Cor. 4. 1. 3. In Jesus Christ as thus manifested and so in this speaking of God by him is revealed the truth and righteousness of God in that first Oracle The Seed of the Woman shall bruise the Head of the Serpent For for this purpose was that Son of God manifested that he might destroy the Works of the Devil And therefore forasmuch as the children of men are partakers of flesh and blood weakness and mortallity as the fruit of sin that brought death he likewise took part of the same in that one body which the Father prepared for him made of a Woman made under the Law in which he was made subject to all our infirmities that came on us by sin and so in the fimilitude of sinful flesh yet without sin and had all our iniquities that the Law charged upon u● ●● we fell under it through the first departure of our nature from God even the guilt of that offence of one and of all our natural filthiness as thence naturally and necessarily derived to us imputed to him and caused to meet together upon him that through death he might in the vertue of his suffering the judgement of this World and in the power of his resurrection destroy him that had the power of death that is the Devil and deliver them who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage c. And he hath made Peace and Atonement for our sins by his blood and so by himself purged them away from before the Father and is set down on his Right Hand with his stripes we were healed Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law under which we must have been utterly banished and cast out from God and so necessarily left under the power of Satan he hath obtained a release and discharge of those transgressions and so of that judgement of this World unto himself by his bearing that judgement in being made a curse for us And so that all judgement is committed unto him over man-kinde that through him they might be saved and therein the Prince of this World is judged and cast out of his principallity over man the power of death taken from him and all men delivered over into the Kingdome power and government of God by Christ that in and through him the grace of God might bring salvation to them 1 John 3. 8.

Gal. 3. 16. Al the nations of the earth should be blessed In him the great blessing of life from the Dead eternal life the restoring of our nature into the image and glory of God and therein into glorious capacity and liberty to the immediate knowledg of and fellowship with God far exceeding the glory in unto which we were at first created in the first publick person and which we lost by sin This being that glory which the onely Begotten Son of God had with the Father before the World was which he hath now through sufferings obtained to be glorified with and to possess for ever in that body prepared for him in our Nature in which he was crucified for us That he might now appear in the presence of God in Heaven it selfe for us while we cannot appear for our selves or in our own persons that through him the grace of God may bring salvation to us and that we comming in his drawings by him may be made accepted and made the righteousness of God in him and in due time actually made partakers of that glory he now posseth for us together with him And herein all blessings pertaining to life and godliness as the forgiveness of all our sins the healing of all our diseases while it is to day vertue force or effecacy with the Father and so power in the name of the Father for the daily taking away those sins of the world that are now imputed to the people which make lyable to condemnation on a new account deserve the wrath to come and this by meanes of that death which was for the redemption of the transgressions under the first Testament and so all gifts for men even for the rebellious also that the Lord God might dwell among them as the fruit of the travel of his soul are prepared and treasured up in Christ for them all in that God hath raised him from the dead and given him glory that our faith and hope might be in God And so all these things given with him brought to light in the testimony of Christ raised from the dead in whose name repentance and remission of sins is preached unto and among all Nations that it might be

to perish and nigh to cutting off and burning For by means of his death he hath obtained power to forgive those sins that deserve a second death while it is yet to day that is before they be so finished in any as to procure the utter bloting out of their names out of the book of the living and so to save us from the wrath to come and hath received gifts for the rebellious that the Lord God might dwell among them Hebr. 7. 27. 9. 15. 1 John 2. 1 2. 1 Thess 1 10.
