of_o his_o be_v certify_v of_o the_o resurrection_n my_o lord_n and_o my_o god_n our_o saviour_n give_v his_o blessing_n not_o only_o to_o he_o but_o to_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v believe_v this_o without_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o his_o resurrection_n to_o confirm_v they_o in_o it_o bless_a be_v they_o which_o have_v not_o see_v and_o yet_o have_v believe_v and_o thus_o we_o find_v our_o saviour_n do_v many_o of_o his_o miraculous_a cure_n in_o requital_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o their_o ready_a confession_n of_o his_o divinity_n as_o on_o the_o blind_a man_n mat._n 20._o that_o cry_v out_o so_o vehement_o have_v mercy_n on_o i_o o_o lord_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n and_o luke_n 17._o when_o the_o blind_a man_n cry_v out_o jesus_n thou_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n on_o i_o our_o saviour_n tell_v he_o upon_o his_o cure_n thy_o faith_n have_v save_v thou_o v_o 4._o 2._o where_o by_o the_o son_n of_o david_n be_v mean_v the_o messiah_n who_o according_a to_o the_o jewish_a doctor_n be_v to_o be_v god_n so_o that_o this_o confession_n of_o his_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n be_v a_o confession_n of_o his_o divinity_n which_o be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o incline_v our_o saviour_n to_o work_v their_o cure_n and_o to_o tell_v one_o of_o they_o that_o his_o faith_n have_v save_v he_o and_o thus_o we_o have_v let_v our_o author_n know_v there_o be_v some_o other_o use_n of_o faith_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o what_o he_o mention_n and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o need_n of_o faith_n to_o strengthen_v they_o against_o the_o danger_n etc._n etc._n which_o the_o gospel_n bring_v on_o they_o but_o to_o make_v they_o believe_v in_o christ_n divinity_n and_o to_o profess_v that_o most_o important_a article_n of_o our_o christian_n faith_n 2._o the_o next_o thing_n which_o the_o author_n in_o this_o chapter_n will_v have_v be_v that_o faith_n in_o the_o gospel_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o christ_n divinity_n because_o he_o say_v god_n like_o a_o good_a prince_n will_v not_o load_v his_o good_a subject_n with_o unnecessary_a burden_n but_o only_o such_o as_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o and_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o piety_n and_o a_o good_a life_n now_o i_o hope_v that_o our_o author_n and_o his_o friend_n for_o all_o their_o pretence_n to_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a with_o god_n almighty_a as_o to_o give_v the_o rationale_n of_o all_o his_o command_n and_o exact_o to_o show_v the_o motive_n that_o incline_v his_o eternal_a will_n who_o judgement_n be_v unsearchable_a and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v always_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o very_a dare_a piece_n of_o confidence_n in_o these_o sort_n of_o author_n to_o say_v in_o case_n of_o a_o positive_a command_n that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v such_o a_o thing_n or_o this_o command_n must_v not_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o manner_n because_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o he_o shall_v thus_o command_v we_o or_o as_o our_o author_n say_v it_o be_v to_o dishonour_n god_n to_o believe_v he_o to_o require_v faith_n for_o any_o other_o reason_n than_o because_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o encouragement_n to_o holiness_n or_o as_o he_o say_v afterward_o for_o its_o serviceableness_n to_o the_o divine_a life_n for_o though_o we_o can_v see_v no_o reason_n for_o such_o a_o command_n yet_o god_n may_v and_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a as_o well_o as_o modest_a to_o think_v that_o god_n understand_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o own_o law_n best_o and_o that_o he_o that_o give_v we_o these_o precept_n best_a understand_v the_o end_n for_o which_o he_o design_v they_o but_o because_o the_o author_n shall_v not_o triumph_v too_o much_o over_o we_o poor_a dull_a trinitarian_n or_o think_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v why_o faith_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n shall_v be_v command_v we_o or_o in_o particular_a that_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o it_o be_v our_o author_n be_v chief_a design_n to_o impugn_v as_o appear_v by_o his_o follow_a chapter_n lest_o i_o say_v he_o shall_v think_v this_o belief_n do_v contribute_v nothing_o to_o religion_n and_o piety_n let_v he_o be_v please_v to_o take_v with_o he_o these_o consideration_n first_o that_o to_o believe_v the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v necessary_a to_o religion_n because_o by_o it_o there_o be_v gain_v a_o great_a authority_n to_o his_o law_n for_o we_o find_v that_o man_n be_v more_o and_o more_o incline_v to_o respect_n rule_n and_o law_n from_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n that_o give_v they_o the_o rule_n and_o injunction_n of_o ordinary_a person_n be_v usual_o contemn_v and_o slight_v though_o if_o the_o same_o come_v from_o a_o great_a and_o magnificent_a person_n they_o will_v be_v embrace_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o eagerness_n and_o veneration_n therefore_o in_o compassion_n to_o this_o infirmity_n of_o mankind_n it_o have_v please_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o let_v a_o person_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o son_n of_o his_o bosom_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o to_o be_v himself_o the_o propounder_n of_o these_o heavenly_a rule_n of_o his_o holy_a gospel_n to_o be_v himself_o the_o promiser_n of_o all_o those_o glorious_a reward_n which_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o propose_v to_o those_o that_o shall_v obey_v his_o precept_n now_o such_o a_o person_n as_o this_o can_v be_v liable_a to_o no_o exception_n though_o a_o prophet_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o his_o revelation_n may_v outgo_v or_o misapply_v his_o credential_n yet_o when_o god_n himself_o undertake_v the_o embassage_n malice_n itself_o can_v except_v nothing_o here_o so_o that_o this_o will_v be_v proof_n against_o the_o utmost_a infidelity_n second_o this_o belief_n do_v further_a religion_n because_o it_o improve_v our_o love_n and_o gratitude_n to_o god_n upon_o consideration_n of_o so_o immense_a a_o benefit_n indeed_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a token_n of_o god_n love_n to_o mankind_n any_o way_n to_o have_v contrive_v our_o redemption_n to_o have_v rescue_v we_o from_o that_o forlorn_a miserable_a estate_n into_o which_o we_o be_v fall_v and_o to_o have_v place_v we_o in_o a_o capacity_n of_o attain_v everlasting_a happiness_n but_o then_o his_o love_n be_v far_o great_a to_o we_o when_o he_o have_v send_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n to_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o purchase_v our_o redemption_n by_o such_o a_o unvaluable_a price_n and_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v place_n the_o choice_a mark_n of_o god_n love_n in_o choose_v such_o extraordinary_a mean_n to_o work_v man_n salvation_n by_o as_o the_o incarnation_n and_o death_n of_o his_o own_o son_n god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n joh._n 3._o 16._o god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o rom._n 8._o 32._o herein_o be_v love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n 1_o joh._n 4._o 10._o and_o true_o this_o consideration_n that_o a_o person_n of_o the_o glorious_a trinity_n one_o that_o be_v god_n bless_v for_o ever_o shall_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o we_o wretched_a sinner_n undergo_v such_o a_o exinanition_n as_o to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o to_o live_v a_o miserable_a life_n and_o to_o die_v a_o shameful_a death_n to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n this_o consideration_n i_o say_v be_v of_o all_o most_o apt_a to_o work_v upon_o generous_a mind_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o offend_v so_o good_a and_o gracious_a a_o god_n after_o such_o a_o unparalleled_a mercy_n and_o nothing_o can_v be_v so_o effectual_a to_o make_v man_n ashamed_a of_o the_o ingratitude_n of_o their_o sin_n if_o they_o have_v any_o the_o least_o spark_n of_o generosity_n or_o virtue_n when_o they_o reflect_v upon_o this_o so_o inexpressible_a goodness_n three_o because_o this_o belief_n do_v secure_v we_o of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o a_o assurance_n we_o now_o have_v of_o the_o complete_a satisfaction_n which_o christ_n have_v make_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o men._n we_o know_v our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n now_o we_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n to_o take_v away_o sin_n heb._n 10._o 4._o and_o we_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o mere_a man_n will_v be_v as_o far_o from_o do_v it_o as_o the_o
