meekness_n as_o we_o have_v christ_n for_o a_o example_n pay_v obedience_n from_o without_o we_o to_o public_a sanction_n where_o none_o from_o within_o we_o be_v strict_o due_a every_o christian_a like_o christ_n himself_o be_v to_o be_v active_o obedient_a in_o many_o thing_n though_o not_o as_o necessary_a yet_o as_o conventent_a though_o not_o for_o conscience_n yet_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o conformity_n though_o not_o for_o private_a yet_o for_o public_a satisfaction_n though_o not_o to_o avoid_v sin_n in_o himself_o yet_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o occasion_v it_o in_o other_o man_n but_o however_o this_o reason_n may_v pass_v for_o good_a methinks_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o give_v a_o better_a to_o wit_n that_o our_o saviour_n be_v lade_v with_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o to_o use_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n be_v in_o all_o our_o behalf_n to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o purification_n be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o as_o st._n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o corinthian_n 2_o cor._n 5_o 2._o and_o at_o last_o number_v with_o the_o transgressor_n and_o so_o make_v subject_a to_o the_o levitical_a as_o well_o as_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o moses_n bear_v as_o he_o be_v of_o a_o jewish_a parent_n a_o branch_n spring_v forth_o from_o the_o root_n of_o jesse_n he_o be_v first_o to_o fulfil_v and_o then_o to_o abrogate_v the_o law_n of_o rite_n or_o rather_o to_o abrogate_v whilst_o he_o fulfil_v it_o and_o this_o may_v help_v we_o to_o give_v a_o reason_n beside_o the_o poverty_n of_o his_o parent_n why_o they_o offer_v not_o a_o lamb_n but_o a_o pair_n of_o dove_n for_o what_o need_v the_o type_n where_o the_o antitype_n be_v present_a what_o place_n can_v there_o be_v for_o a_o lamb_n out_o of_o the_o fold_n when_o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n the_o lamb_n to_o expiate_v for_o our_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o the_o shepherd_n to_o direct_v they_o §_o 8._o the_o thought_n of_o which_o shall_v s●●ve_v to_o fill_v we_o not_o with_o gratitude_n only_o and_o love_n but_o even_o with_o wonder_n and_o admiration_n that_o the_o lawgiver_n himself_o will_v be_v obedient_a unto_o the_o law_n thereby_o to_o free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o free_v we_o from_o sin_n as_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n and_o so_o to_o free_v we_o from_o death_n as_o it_o be_v the_o victory_n of_o hell_n that_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n and_o king_n of_o king_n will_v meek_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n as_o well_o of_o a_o sinner_n as_o of_o a_o servant_n and_o become_v legal_o unclean_a whereby_o to_o take_v away_o from_o we_o our_o great_a uncleanness_n for_o according_a to_o the_o hebraisme_n by_o which_o the_o hellenistick_n be_v wont_a to_o speak_v nothing_o worse_o can_v be_v mean_v by_o the_o legal_a uncleanness_n of_o a_o jew_n than_o that_o external_a obligation_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o duty_n which_o by_o a_o arbitrary_a law_n be_v incumbent_a on_o he_o and_o to_o this_o our_o bless_a saviour_n without_o the_o least_o stain_n of_o guilt_n do_v submit_v himself_o not_o at_o all_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o alone_o for_o we_o it_o be_v that_o he_o descend_v from_o out_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n for_o we_o he_o pour_v out_o himself_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o be_v empty_v of_o all_o his_o glory_n that_o we_o may_v drink_v of_o his_o fullness_n grace_n for_o grace_n for_o we_o it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v cloister_v in_o mary_n womb_n for_o we_o that_o he_o be_v fold_v in_o mary_n arm_n for_o we_o that_o he_o be_v put_v upon_o several_a journey_n whilst_o yet_o he_o can_v not_o either_o locum_fw-la go_v or_o with_o ease_n be_v carry_v to_o wit_n from_o nazareth_n to_o bethleem_n and_o from_o bethleem_n to_o jerusalem_n and_o that_o upon_o more_o account_n than_o one_o not_o only_o to_o be_v purify_v but_o present_v unto_o the_o lord_n this_o as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o second_o action_n of_o the_o day_n and_o so_o deserve_v the_o second_o place_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o text._n §_o 1._o to_o give_v you_o the_o history_n of_o the_o action_n from_o that_o which_o give_v it_o its_o original_a i_o must_v go_v back_o to_o take_v my_o rise_n from_o as_o far_o as_o exodus_fw-la 12._o where_o after_o sundry_a dismal_a miracle_n for_o the_o free_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n the_o last_o and_o great_a be_v show_v at_o midnight_n when_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v cut_v off_o all_o the_o first-born_a among_o the_o child_n of_o the_o egyptian_n from_o the_o first-born_a of_o pharaoh_n that_o sit_v on_o his_o throne_n 29._o to_o the_o first-born_a of_o the_o captive_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o dungeon_n but_o the_o first-born_a of_o israel_n be_v miraculous_o preserve_v 15._o be_v immediate_o claim_v by_o their_o preserver_n who_o beside_o the_o common_a interest_n which_o he_o have_v in_o they_o as_o his_o creature_n 22._o do_v far_a devote_v they_o unto_o himself_o by_o a_o peculiar_a right_n of_o redemption_n too_o 18._o and_o though_o by_o way_n of_o commutation_n he_o take_v the_o levite_n unto_o himself_o in_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o levite_n so_o full_a a_o ransom_n 16._o but_o that_o they_o be_v far_a to_o be_v ransom_v by_o the_o sum_n of_o five_o shekel_n §_o 2._o now_o put_v all_o this_o together_o and_o it_o will_v prove_v a_o adumbration_n of_o the_o holy_a child_n jesus_n who_o though_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o redeemer_n be_v yet_o present_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o redeem_v this_o day_n with_o a_o piece_n of_o silver_n for_o he_o be_v sure_o the_o fist-born_a who_o be_v express_v so_o in_o scripture_n by_o way_n of_o eminence_n and_o who_o the_o first-born_a of_o israel_n be_v but_o intend_v to_o represent_v he_o present_v himself_o as_o our_o elder_a brother_n and_o so_o again_o the_o first-born_a to_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o destroy_a angel_n he_o as_o the_o first-born_a or_o 8._o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v present_v this_o day_n to_o receive_v his_o right_n of_o primogeniture_n by_o claim_v the_o heathen_a for_o his_o inheritance_n and_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o his_o possession_n he_o again_o be_v the_o first-born_a who_o present_v himself_o unto_o as_o many_o as_o will_v receive_v he_o that_o he_o may_v give_v they_o power_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 12._o to_o sum_n up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n he_o be_v call_v the_o first-born_a of_o every_o creature_n col._n 1._o 15._o who_o be_v beget_v of_o the_o father_n before_o all_o time_n and_o the_o first-born_a of_o his_o mother_n bring_v forth_o into_o the_o world_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n he_o be_v again_o the_o first-born_a by_o virtue_n of_o his_o office_n as_o mediator_n the_o first_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o pure_a virgin_n the_o first_o that_o ever_o be_v bear_v without_o the_o least_o stain_n of_o sin_n the_o first_o and_o last_o that_o be_v bear_v both_o god_n and_o man._n many_o way_n the_o first-born_a he_o be_v bring_v on_o this_o day_n to_o be_v present_v unto_o the_o lord_n not_o as_o a_o servant_n only_o or_o sacrifice_n but_o as_o a_o king_n and_o a_o priest_n too_o on_o who_o his_o brethren_n depend_v for_o life_n and_o fortune_n so_o to_o claim_v his_o own_o right_a and_o so_o to_o communicate_v it_o to_o we_o that_o whether_o paul_n or_o apollo_n whether_o cephas_n or_o the_o world_n whether_o life_n or_o death_n whether_o thing_n present_a or_o thing_n to_o come_v all_o may_v be_v we_o as_o we_o be_v christ_n as_o christ_n be_v god_n §_o 3._o from_o the_o whole_a history_n of_o the_o action_n so_o far_o at_o least_o as_o our_o lord_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a enough_o to_o gather_v these_o useful_a consideration_n §_o 4._o first_o that_o the_o day_n be_v accomplish_v when_o both_o the_o mother_n and_o her_o babe_n may_v have_v the_o freedom_n to_o go_v abroad_o the_o first_o journey_n they_o take_v be_v not_o to_o nazareth_n but_o jerusalem_n she_o bring_v he_o
