wherein_o we_o be_v enthral_v to_o sin_n and_o satan_n see_v it_o be_v a_o madness_n to_o return_v to_o such_o bondage_n again_o if_o christ_n be_v dead_a for_o we_o let_v that_o grace_n move_v we_o to_o die_v to_o sin_n if_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n that_o we_o may_v sit_v there_o with_o he_o let_v that_o grace_n move_v we_o to_o walk_v as_o those_o that_o be_v

propound_v in_o the_o gospel_n promise_v pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o and_o by_o christ._n jere._n 31.31_o this_o be_v call_v the_o new_a covenant_n which_o the_o lord_n contract_v with_o his_o people_n where_o write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o inward_a part_n he_o become_v their_o god_n and_o they_o his_o people_n second_o what_o must_v we_o do_v to_o say_v true_o and_o in_o assurance_n that_o god_n be_v our_o god_n ans._n we_o must_v for_o our_o part_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o he_o unto_o which_o be_v require_v a_o consent_n on_o either_o party_n first_o on_o god_n part_n that_o he_o will_v be_v our_o god_n which_o we_o shall_v find_v not_o in_o any_o revelation_n beside_o the_o scripture_n but_o general_o in_o the_o word_n and_o more_o special_o in_o the_o

not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v god_n our_o god_n see_v it_o be_v common_a to_o the_o very_a hypocrite_n themselves_o second_o see_v he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o outward_o but_o which_o be_v a_o jew_n within_o there_o be_v require_v in_o our_o consent_n a_o further_a degree_n which_o stand_v in_o a_o inward_a consent_n of_o the_o heart_n whereby_o a_o man_n take_v god_n for_o his_o god_n which_o be_v then_o begin_v when_o first_o a_o man_n acknowledge_v and_o bewail_v his_o sin_n second_o when_o he_o endeavour_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n three_o when_o he_o purpose_v never_o to_o sin_v again_o when_o this_o covenant_n be_v thus_o conclude_v by_o consent_n of_o both_o party_n a_o man_n may_v safe_o and_o true_o say_v that_o god_n be_v his_o god_n now_o see_v we_o

of_o our_o happiness_n after_o death_n itself_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o those_o two_o main_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o covenant_n alone_o shall_v we_o rise_v again_o after_o death_n to_o life_n glory_n and_o immortality_n as_o christ_n himself_o dispute_v against_o the_o

the_o prophet_n exhort_v man_n thereunto_o use_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n for_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n and_o we_o be_v the_o people_n of_o his_o hand_n the_o preface_n of_o the_o moral_a

whosoever_o be_v true_o persuade_v that_o god_n be_v his_o god_n can_v but_o obey_v he_o the_o five_o property_n of_o these_o seducer_n be_v that_o they_o deny_v god_n the_o only_a lord_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n thus_o be_v they_o describe_v by_o their_o manner_n the_o translator_n of_o this_o epistle_n be_v as_o it_o seem_v of_o opinion_n that_o these_o word_n be_v proper_o speak_v of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o of_o god_n the_o son_n also_o but_o by_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o be_v all_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o christ_n and_o not_o of_o the_o father_n and_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v read_v which_o deny_v that_o only_a ruler_n who_o be_v god_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n again_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o word_n be_v borrow_v from_o the_o epistle_n of_o peter_n may_v thence_o be_v right_o expound_v now_o peter_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o sin_n of_o these_o seducer_n apply_v it_o only_o to_o be_v a_o denial_n of_o christ_n 2._o pet._n 2.1_o they_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o in_o the_o word_n than_o consider_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o sin_n here_o condemn_v namely_o to_o deny_v jesus_n christ._n second_o a_o description_n of_o christ._n for_o the_o first_o to_o deny_v jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o renounce_v and_o forsake_v christ_n and_o so_o much_o as_o in_o a_o man_n lie_v to_o make_v his_o death_n void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n now_o because_o this_o denial_n presuppose_v a_o redemption_n as_o peter_n mention_v they_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o this_o question_n be_v to_o be_v clear_v how_o these_o man_n be_v reprobate_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v redeem_v by_o christ_n answ._n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o they_o be_v in_o god_n decree_n ever_o

judgement_n upon_o man_n and_o to_o account_v of_o they_o as_o redeem_v leave_v all_o secret_a judgement_n to_o god_n second_o the_o description_n of_o christ_n by_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o he_o be_v a_o ruler_n yea_o a_o only_a ruler_n a_o lord_n and_o ruler_n over_o all_o thing_n in_o general_a in_o heaven_n earth_n and_o hell_n and_o more_o special_o a_o lord_n over_o his_o elect_a only_o and_o in_o that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o only_a ruler_n it_o must_v not_o be_v mean_v as_o exclude_v the_o father_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o all_o false_a god_n and_o false_a christ_n as_o joh._n 17.3_o the_o father_n be_v call_v the_o only_a god_n for_o all_o outward_a action_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o person_n second_o that_o he_o be_v god_n which_o be_v a_o notable_a place_n against_o all_o arrian_n to_o prove_v the_o godhead_n of_o christ._n three_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v our_o lord_n we_o in_o two_o respect_n especial_o first_o of_o the_o free_a donation_n of_o his_o father_n who_o give_v to_o he_o a_o people_n to_o be_v lord_n and_o king_n over_o before_o all_o world_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o work_n of_o redemption_n which_o he_o wrought_v for_o they_o who_o be_v of_o the_o father_n give_v unto_o he_o out_o of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v here_o say_v we_o may_v note_v these_o two_o point_n first_o how_o these_o seducer_n deny_v christ_n namely_o not_o open_o and_o plain_o for_o then_o the_o church_n shall_v have_v espy_v they_o neither_o in_o word_n nor_o
the_o son_n of_o god_n suffer_v although_o it_o be_v not_o for_o half_a a_o day_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o all_o man_n have_v die_v for_o ever_o so_o infinite_a and_o endless_a it_o be_v though_o not_o in_o time_n yet_o in_o merit_n and_o efficacy_n 2._o use_v see_v christ_n have_v such_o a_o absolute_a wisdom_n distinct_o know_v all_o thing_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o fear_n &_o

there_o we_o may_v have_v his_o direction_n if_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o counsel_n there_o contain_v i_o answer_v it_o stand_v in_o the_o hear_n and_o do_v of_o his_o

unto_o he_o three_o to_o obey_v he_o in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n this_o be_v the_o right_a wisdom_n for_o the_o teach_n of_o which_o wisdom_n herself_o utter_v her_o voice_n and_o call_v

that_o we_o may_v right_o understand_v four_o point_n be_v to_o be_v propound_v first_o what_o kind_n of_o saviour_n christ_n be_v ans._n he_o must_v be_v conceive_v first_o a_o perfect_a saviour_n save_v perfect_o all_o that_o be_v save_v heb._n 7.25_o he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v perfect_o all_o that_o come_v unto_o he_o yea_o he_o perfect_o save_v by_o himself_o and_o not_o by_o any_o other_o creature_n whosoever_o attain_v to_o salvation_n for_o this_o also_o be_v require_v unto_o his_o perfection_n rom._n 3.25_o who_o god_n have_v set_v out_o to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n hebr._n 1.3_o by_o himself_o he_o have_v purge_v our_o sin_n where_o note_v a_o error_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o teach_v that_o christ_n do_v by_o his_o death_n merit_n that_o we_o may_v by_o our_o own_o work_n merit_v salvation_n but_o this_o be_v false_a christ_n save_v not_o man_n by_o man_n or_o by_o any_o creature_n but_o by_o himself_o yea_o he_o shall_v not_o so_o be_v a_o saviour_n but_o a_o instrument_n by_o who_o we_o must_v save_v ourselves_o second_o hence_o we_o learn_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o a_o alone_a saviour_n ourselves_o without_o any_o fellow_n partner_n or_o deputy_n act_v 2._o there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n give_v to_o save_v we_o but_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o he_o have_v any_o partner_n he_o be_v but_o half_a a_o saviour_n hence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o roman_a religion_n although_o in_o word_n it_o honour_n christ_n yet_o in_o deed_n it_o deny_v he_o in_o join_v to_o christ_n all-sufficient_a satisfaction_n other_o satisfaction_n and_o so_o likewise_o they_o join_v to_o his_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o cross_n their_o sacrifice_n in_o their_o mass_n to_o his_o meritorious_a intercession_n the_o intercession_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o other_o saint_n and_o that_o not_o by_o way_n of_o request_n but_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o their_o intercession_n thus_o they_o set_v up_o many_o saviour_n in_o stead_n of_o this_o our_o perfect_a and_o alone_a saviour_n the_o second_o point_n be_v from_o what_o danger_n do_v he_o save_v we_o ans._n salvation_n ever_o imply_v perdition_n so_o salvation_n by_o christ_n imply_v endless_a destruction_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n from_o which_o he_o do_v save_o us._n in_o which_o endless_a perdition_n note_n

second_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o life_n death_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o curse_n and_o a_o entrance_n into_o hell_n three_o after_o the_o first_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v everlasting_a destruction_n in_o hell_n fire_n for_o ever_o now_o christ_n be_v a_o saviour_n to_o save_v and_o free_v we_o both_o from_o this_o foundation_n our_o sin_n themselves_o as_o also_o from_o the_o degree_n from_o the_o bondage_n to_o satan_n by_o sin_n second_o from_o the_o first_o death_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v a_o curse_n three_o from_o the_o second_o death_n and_o everlasting_a destruction_n the_o three_o point_n be_v how_o do_v christ_n save_o man_n ans._n according_a to_o that_o order_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o the_o covenant_n not_o of_o work_n but_o of_o grace_n wherein_o god_n promise_v to_o give_v christ_n with_o all_o his_o merit_n and_o grace_n to_o every_o believer_n now_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o this_o covenant_n first_o christ_n with_o his_o merit_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o believer_n he_o again_o be_v give_v unto_o christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o donation_n a_o man_n may_v say_v christ_n be_v i_o his_o benefit_n be_v i_o

with_o he_o by_o the_o bond_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v a_o mystical_a but_o a_o true_a union_n whereby_o he_o that_o be_v give_v unto_o christ_n be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o after_o this_o come_v a_o three_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o communication_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o all_o his_o benefit_n unto_o believer_n this_o be_v do_v two_o way_n first_o by_o way_n of_o

the_o adversary_n of_o this_o ground_n be_v first_o the_o common_a people_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n profess_v that_o they_o be_v not_o certain_a of_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n they_o

there_o must_v follow_v this_o acceptation_n to_o life_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o justification_n of_o life_n 5.18_o with_o the_o reason_n render_v in_o the_o same_o place_n for_o that_o

action_n we_o may_v gather_v a_o true_a description_n of_o justification_n to_o wit_n it_o be_v a_o action_n of_o god_n the_o father_n absolve_a a_o sinner_n from_o all_o his_o sin_n for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n account_v he_o as_o just_a and_o accept_v he_o to_o life_n everlasting_a ii_o point_n what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n for_o the_o clear_a understanding_n of_o this_o weighty_a point_n we_o must_v answer_v 2._o question_n first_o what_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n for_o which_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v ans._n it_o be_v the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n the_o

12._o the_o second_o question_n be_v see_v the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o be_v out_o of_o ourselves_o how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v make_v we_o

the_o very_a sin_n condemn_v be_v that_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n they_o be_v not_o guide_v by_o reasonable_a much_o less_o this_o spiritual_a knowledge_n but_o only_o by_o

all_o god_n blessing_n unto_o covetousness_n pride_n surfeit_v drunkenness_n and_o other_o sin_n of_o that_o kind_n namely_o because_o though_o man_n have_v by_o nature_n the_o use_n of_o reason_n

they_o must_v content_v themselves_o to_o live_v by_o natural_a knowledge_n hence_o many_o man_n plead_v they_o know_v enough_o namely_o to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o and_o their_o neighbour_n as_o
