christ_n and_o therefore_o tell_v we_o that_o st._n paul_n who_o have_v a_o excellent_a faculty_n this_o way_n observe_v what_o do_v most_o effectual_o take_v with_o people_n to_o beguile_v their_o spirit_n and_o with_o a_o kind_n of_o craft_n to_o catch_v their_o affection_n and_o that_o according_o he_o meet_v with_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o enamour_v and_o take_v with_o people_n thus_o far_o dr._n crispe_n and_o dr._n owen_n very_o well_o agree_v in_o place_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o religion_n in_o win_v and_o woo_v people_n unto_o christ_n though_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v ambassador_n of_o christ_n beseech_v the_o people_n in_o christ_n stead_n to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n so_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o ambassador_n woo_v for_o god_n but_o antinomian_o woo_v altogether_o for_o christ_n to_o win_v people_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ._n let_v we_o then_o consider_v what_o course_n they_o take_v thus_o to_o woo_v and_o win_v people_n unto_o christ_n now_o if_o by_o this_o woo_a people_n to_o christ_n they_o understand_v no_o more_o than_o to_o persuade_v man_n to_o embrace_v the_o faith_n and_o religion_n of_o christ_n the_o proper_a way_n to_o effect_v it_o be_v to_o prove_v the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o revelation_n make_v by_o christ_n to_o represent_v the_o excellency_n of_o his_o religion_n how_o easy_a and_o advantageous_a his_o command_n be_v how_o perfective_a of_o our_o nature_n and_o how_o necessary_a to_o dispose_v and_o qualify_v we_o for_o future_a happiness_n to_o set_v before_o they_o those_o reward_n which_o christ_n have_v promise_v to_o those_o who_o obey_v he_o and_o those_o severe_a threaten_n which_o he_o have_v denounce_v against_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o belief_n and_o expectation_n of_o all_o this_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o incarnation_n death_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o die_v to_o expiate_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o purchase_v pardon_n and_o eternal_a life_n for_o all_o true_a penitent_n and_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o intercede_v for_o we_o to_o dispense_v the_o influence_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o raise_v we_o to_o a_o new_a and_o spiritual_a life_n here_o and_o at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o raise_v our_o dead_a body_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n and_o to_o reward_v we_o with_o immortality_n and_o glory_n and_o then_o we_o may_v argue_v from_o the_o love_n of_o our_o crucify_a saviour_n to_o persuade_v man_n to_o live_v to_o he_o who_o die_v for_o they_o these_o and_o such_o like_a argument_n be_v very_o powerful_a to_o persuade_v man_n to_o be_v christian_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o woo_v for_o christ_n you_o must_v with_o a_o holy_a guile_n catch_v people_n affection_n and_o make_v they_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v describe_v his_o personal_a grace_n and_o excellency_n and_o consider_v what_o be_v most_o enamour_v and_o take_v with_o the_o people_n thus_o for_o instance_n the_o world_n be_v ibid._n mighty_o take_v with_o beauty_n with_o compleatness_n of_o person_n oh_o say_v one_o let_v i_o have_v a_o beautiful_a person_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n how_o poor_a well_o then_o christ_n be_v a_o rare_a piece_n for_o such_o be_v the_o beauty_n of_o christ_n that_o there_o be_v no_o beauty_n like_o he_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n the_o brightness_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o express_a image_n of_o his_o person_n and_o mr._n watson_n can_v have_v furnish_v he_o with_o a_o great_a many_o other_o irrefragable_a proof_n of_o christ_n beauty_n and_o loveliness_n though_o i_o think_v the_o doctor_n have_v too_o much_o wit_n to_o have_v make_v 77._o use_n of_o they_o but_o beside_o beauty_n some_o person_n look_v for_o lineage_n what_o a_o stock_n a_o person_n be_v of_o well_o if_o this_o will_v take_v than_o there_o be_v no_o stock_n like_o this_o of_o christ_n he_o be_v of_o the_o great_a house_n in_o the_o world_n the_o first-begotten_a of_o all_o creature_n he_o come_v of_o that_o great_a house_n of_o god_n himself_o he_o be_v not_o a_o young_a brother_n in_o this_o house_n neither_o for_o he_o be_v the_o first-begotten_a of_o the_o house_n that_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n among_o person_n to_o marry_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o family_n nay_o he_o be_v the_o only-begotten_a of_o the_o house_n there_o be_v never_o another_o in_o all_o the_o family_n and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n so_o that_o if_o man_n go_v all_o the_o world_n over_o to_o find_v a_o match_n in_o the_o noble_a house_n they_o will_v never_o meet_v with_o such_o a_o one_o as_o this_o of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o exact_o agree_v with_o mr._n vincent_n reason_v to_o persuade_v young_a woman_n to_o choose_v christ_n for_o their_o husband_n well_o but_o if_o he_o be_v poor_a after_o all_o i_o shall_v live_v but_o poor_o with_o he_o but_o christ_n be_v rich_a in_o treasure_n too_o it_o please_v the_o father_n that_o in_o he_o shall_v all_o fullness_n dwell_v he_o have_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o dispose_v of_o and_o therefore_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v to_o he_o which_o notion_n mr._n brooks_n have_v excellent_o improve_v in_o his_o riches_n of_o christ._n thus_o to_o conclude_v you_o have_v a_o proverb_n that_o bachelor_n wife_n and_o maid_n child_n must_v be_v rare_a creature_n that_o be_v their_o fancy_n will_v devise_v what_o kind_n of_o one_o they_o will_v have_v and_o what_o kind_n of_o perfection_n they_o desire_v let_v the_o fancy_n devise_v what_o kind_n of_o perfection_n it_o can_v to_o please_v sense_n christ_n shall_v real_o outstrip_v in_o perfection_n all_o these_o fancy_n more_o than_o a_o substance_n do_v outstrip_v a_o shadow_n this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o antinomianism_n which_o some_o of_o our_o modern_a divine_n call_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o only_a spiritual_a preach_v of_o christ_n to_o attribute_v every_o thing_n immediate_o to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o he_o either_o with_o respect_n to_o his_o gospel_n and_o revelation_n or_o his_o propitiation_n and_o sacrifice_n or_o his_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n for_o we_o as_o to_o give_v some_o few_o instance_n of_o it_o thus_o it_o be_v a_o great_a gospel_n truth_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o way_n to_o the_o father_n that_o he_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n both_o as_o he_o instruct_v we_o in_o the_o way_n to_o life_n and_o happiness_n how_o we_o may_v please_v god_n and_o save_v our_o soul_n and_o as_o he_o be_v our_o mediator_n and_o high_a priest_n by_o who_o we_o have_v access_n to_o god_n but_o then_o this_o require_v that_o we_o study_v his_o will_n and_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o interest_n in_o his_o mediation_n and_o may_v with_o a_o humble_a confidence_n put_v up_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o his_o name_n whereas_o the_o antinomian_o agreeable_o enough_o with_o the_o divinity_n of_o this_o last_o age_n make_v christ_n such_o a_o way_n as_o exclude_v every_o thing_n else_o even_o his_o law_n and_o religion_n evangelical_n righteousness_n and_o holiness_n from_o be_v the_o way_n christ_n himself_o and_o nothing_o but_o christ_n though_o in_o a_o subservency_n and_o subordination_n to_o he_o can_v be_v the_o way_n thus_o dr._n crisp_n tell_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o 1_o only_a way_n to_o free_a sinner_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v true_a in_o a_o sober_a sense_n that_o christ_n only_o make_v atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o in_o the_o doctor_n divinity_n christ_n be_v so_o the_o only_a way_n that_o nothing_o else_o but_o christ_n be_v require_v to_o this_o neither_o repentance_n nor_o evangelical_n righteousness_n the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o the_o lord_n christ_n as_o free_o tender_v himself_o to_o people_n consider_v people_n only_o as_o ungodly_a person_n receive_v he_o that_o be_v take_v he_o for_o their_o own_o to_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v by_o he_o you_o have_v no_o soon_o receive_v he_o 7._o but_o you_o be_v instant_o justify_v by_o he_o and_o in_o this_o justification_n you_o be_v discharge_v from_o all_o the_o fault_n that_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o your_o charge_n and_o his_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o be_v the_o same_o with_o mr._n ferguson_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o here_o you_o see_v plain_o our_o sin_n be_v so_o translate_v to_o christ_n that_o god_n do_v reckon_v christ_n the_o very_a 10._o sinner_n nay_o god_n do_v reckon_v all_o our_o sin_n to_o be_v his_o sin_n and_o make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o what_o be_v
