even_o the_o great_a of_o sinner_n o_o who_o be_v there_o that_o be_v in_o his_o wit_n will_v choose_v to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o christian_a dispensation_n or_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o method_n of_o

what_o they_o either_o be_v or_o ever_o have_v be_v yet_o i_o will_v value_v that_o one_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n more_o than_o all_o the_o notion_n and_o speculation_n of_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v nothing_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v i_o will_v with_o the_o apostle_n count_v all_o thing_n as_o loss_n nay_o as_o dung_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n my_o saviour_n and_o that_o i_o may_v be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o have_v

christ_n appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n in_o the_o first_o notion_n of_o that_o expression_n but_o second_o christ_n appear_v also_o to_o put_v away_o sin_n in_o another_o sense_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o destroy_v the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o it_o from_o among_o man_n to_o abolish_v it_o so_o as_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o henceforth_o reign_v in_o our_o mortal_a body_n to_o free_v we_o from_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v that_o be_v to_o enable_v we_o to_o lead_v holy_a and_o virtuous_a life_n so_o that_o whereas_o mankind_n heretofore_o yield_v their_o member_n servant_n to_o uncleanness_n and_o to_o iniquity_n unto_o iniquity_n so_o they_o shall_v now_o yield_v their_o member_n servant_n to_o righteousness_n unto_o holiness_n thus_o to_o put_v away_o sin_n be_v as_o principal_a a_o end_n of_o christ_n come_v as_o the_o other_o before_o mention_v nay_o perhaps_o more_o principal_a for_o the_o other_o in_o true_a reason_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v whole_o in_o order_n to_o this_o certain_a it_o be_v unless_o this_o end_n be_v attain_v the_o other_o will_v signify_v nothing_o to_o we_o for_o we_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o benefit_n from_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o christ_n until_o our_o sin_n be_v put_v away_o by_o repentance_n and_o we_o become_v holy_a person_n by_o the_o change_n and_o renewal_n of_o our_o nature_n never_o therefore_o let_v we_o deceive_v ourselves_o though_o christ_n have_v actual_o put_v away_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n by_o his_o satisfaction_n that_o be_v to_o say_v have_v procure_v the_o pardon_n of_o they_o have_v take_v away_o the_o sting_n of_o they_o so_o as_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v deadly_a to_o any_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v upon_o supposition_n that_o the_o strength_n of_o they_o he_o take_v away_o in_o we_o that_o they_o 〈◊〉_d no_o dominion_n over_o we_o that_o we_o mortify_v they_o in_o all_o our_o member_n that_o we_o daily_o die_v to_o they_o and_o live_v a_o life_n o●_n righteousness_n all_o that_o christ_n merit_v or_o purchase_v for_o the_o world_n will_v not_o do_v we_o the_o least_o good_a unless_o we_o be_v make_v conformable_a to_o he_o in_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n by_o our_o die_v to_o sin_n and_o live_n to_o righteousness_n and_o in_o truth_n if_o we_o will_v mind_v it_o the_o put_v away_o sin_n in_o this_o sense_n of_o it_o have_v as_o great_a weight_n lay_v upon_o it_o in_o scripture_n and_o be_v as_o often_o assign_v for_o the_o great_a end_n and_o business_n of_o christ_n appearance_n as_o the_o other_o s._n john_n tell_v we_o plain_o that_o for_o this_o purpose_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n manifest_v that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o

devil_n and_o s._n paul_n likewise_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o therefore_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o purify_v to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o last_o s._n peter_n give_v the_o same_o account_n of_o his_o come_n act_v 3.26_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o therefore_o god_n raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n that_o be_v send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n for_o his_o raise_n up_o there_o speak_v of_o as_o any_o one_o will_v see_v that_o look_n into_o the_o context_n be_v not_o his_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a but_o his_o be_v manifest_v to_o mankind_n for_o here_o the_o apostle_n business_n be_v to_o apply_v that_o promise_n or_o prophesy_v of_o moses_n unto_o our_o saviour_n viz._n that_o god_n will_v in_o due_a he_o raise_v up_o to_o his_o people_n a_o prophet_n like_o unto_o he_o who_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v oblige_v to_o hearken_v to_o i_o say_v therefore_o god_n raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n i.e._n send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n that_o he_o may_v bless_v his_o people_n in_o turn_v every_o one_o of_o they_o from_o their_o iniquity_n this_o turn_v every_o one_o from_o their_o iniquity_n be_v the_o great_a end_n for_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v manifest_v unto_o mankind_n and_o indeed_o reason_n will_v teach_v we_o all_o this_o as_o well_o as_o revelation_n for_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n none_o can_v be_v true_o happy_a but_o those_o that_o be_v true_o pious_a and_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o proportion_n that_o any_o one_o be_v wicked_a or_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o his_o lust_n in_o the_o same_o degree_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v miserable_a so_o that_o if_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o in_o that_o mean_v either_o to_o make_v we_o happy_a or_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o be_v miserable_a there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o his_o first_o and_o principal_a design_n must_v be_v to_o root_v our_o of_o our_o nature_n all_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o to_o restore_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o our_o mind_n which_o consist_v in_o unchangeable_a purity_n and_o holiness_n and_o goodness_n away_o therefore_o with_o all_o those_o hypothesis_n that_o give_v such_o a_o account_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n as_o to_o make_v the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o it_o to_o be_v the_o free_v we_o from_o hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o purchase_v heaven_n and_o eternal_a life_n for_o we_o but_o without_o any_o respect_n have_v to_o the_o renew_v our_o nature_n or_o the_o make_v we_o sincere_o holy_a and_o virtuous_a all_o such_o account_n of_o christ_n undertake_n be_v monstrous_o unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a for_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o manifest_a affront_n they_o put_v upon_o god_n justice_n and_o holiness_n in_o make_v he_o the_o great_a patron_n of_o sin_n whilst_o they_o assert_v he_o to_o be_v the_o justifier_n of_o wicked_a man_n even_o whilst_o they_o continue_v wicked_a you_o can_v as_o i_o say_v but_o see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n how_o very_o much_o such_o doctrine_n do_v disparage_v the_o love_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o lessen_v his_o undertake_n for_o whilst_o he_o be_v here_o suppose_a to_o have_v redeem_a we_o only_o from_o his_o father_n wrath_n and_o the_o punishment_n consequent_a thereupon_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o the_o wickedness_n and_o impurity_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n which_o alone_o without_o the_o accession_n of_o any_o other_o external_a evil_n be_v a_o misery_n great_a enough_o he_o be_v hereby_o render_v but_o half_a a_o saviour_n one_o that_o free_v we_o indeed_o from_o a_o external_n evil_a but_o leave_v we_o irremediable_o expose_v to_o a_o internal_a one_o as_o grievous_a as_o the_o other_o one_o that_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o a_o gibbet_n or_o a_o executioner_n but_o can_v not_o or_o will_v not_o cure_v we_o of_o the_o inward_a sickness_n and_o malady_n under_o which_o we_o languish_v but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o what_o a_o absurd_a inconsistent_a notion_n this_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n give_v we_o of_o the_o happiness_n of_o mankind_n for_o whilst_o they_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n under_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n be_v capable_a of_o that_o happiness_n which_o christ_n purchase_v for_o we_o in_o the_o other_o world_n which_o happiness_n as_o both_o scripture_n and_o reason_n testify_v do_v chief_o consist_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o excellency_n and_o perfection_n they_o must_v at_o the_o same_o time_n suppose_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v render_v happy_a by_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o that_o of_o which_o he_o have_v no_o sense_n no_o perception_n or_o rather_o to_o speak_v proper_o that_o he_o be_v the_o happy_a creature_n alive_a in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o object_n to_o which_o he_o have_v the_o great_a a_o version_n and_o antipathy_n in_o the_o world_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o absurdity_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v when_o light_n can_v have_v communion_n with_o darkness_n when_o god_n can_v have_v fellowship_n with_o belial_n then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o can_v a_o wicked_a man_n a_o man_n that_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o love_v it_o he_o capable_a of_o that_o happiness_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o iv._o the_o four_o thing_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o from_o this_o text_n be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o our_o saviour_n bring_v to_o pass_v the_o great_a end_n of_o his_o appearance_n viz._n the_o put_v away_o of_o sin_n which_o mean_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o now_o once_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v he_o appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o two_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v in_o order_n to_o a_o just_a discourse_n upon_o this_o point_n first_o to_o give_v a_o account_n how_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o put_v away_o of_o sin_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n i_o give_v that_o be_v the_o procure_v the_o pardon_n of_o it_o second_o how_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o put_v it_o away_o in_o the_o other_o sense_n that_o be_v the_o destroy_n or_o mortify_v it_o in_o we_o but_o these_o thing_n be_v foreign_a to_o our_o present_a business_n and_o more_o proper_a for_o the_o argument_n of_o a_o good-friday_n sermon_n i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o they_o but_o proceed_v to_o my_o last_o point_n v._o the_o five_o and_o last_o thing_n observable_a from_o the_o text_n be_v the_o difference_n of_o christ_n sacrifice_n whereby_o he_o put_v away_o sin_n from_o the_o moysaicall_a one_o which_o difference_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v here_o take_v notice_n of_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n be_v daily_o offer_v but_o christ_n offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o but_o once_o once_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chapter_n be_v discourse_v of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n he_o insist_o much_o on_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n the_o christian_n that_o own_v the_o gospel_n have_v but_o one_o sacrifice_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n once_o offer_v whereas_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v force_v to_o have_v many_o nay_o even_o the_o most_o solemn_a sacrifice_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v repeat_v once_o a_o year_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o my_o text._n but_o now_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o put_v by_o way_n of_o opposition_n to_o they_o that_o be_v but_o once_o offer_v and_o be_v never_o to_o be_v repeat_v this_o be_v the_o point_n with_o which_o he_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n two_o verse_n after_o my_o text_n christ_n say_v he_o be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o unto_o there_o that_o look_n for_o he_o shall_v be_v appear_v the_o second_o time_n unto_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o i_o insist_v on_o it_o now_o because_o all_o those_o that_o design_n on_o this_o day_n to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o let_v we_o from_o hence_o take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o service_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n we_o be_v not_o to_o pretend_v to_o offer_v christ_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o his_o father_n his_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o once_o to_o be_v offer_v and_o that_o be_v do_v 1600_o year_n ago_o and_o in_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n once_o offer_v all_o faithful_a christian_n and_o sincere_a
