justice_n by_o a_o indiscreet_a mercy_n and_o invite_v new_a provocation_n by_o give_v impunity_n to_o the_o old_a whereas_o now_o by_o execute_v the_o punishment_n upon_o christ_n our_o undertaker_n

not_o to_o dwell_v too_o long_o on_o this_o let_v we_o all_o fix_v our_o meditation_n on_o that_o blood_n of_o jesus_n and_o humble_v ourselves_o rather_o under_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o his_o

the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n be_v enough_o to_o fetch_v the_o same_o drop_n of_o blood_n from_o we_o if_o we_o bear_v the_o same_o nature_n with_o he_o for_o who_o can_v

iniquity_n no_o less_o than_o the_o contradiction_n of_o sinner_n what_o deep_a impression_n shall_v this_o work_n upon_o we_o when_o by_o a_o lively_a representation_n we_o can_v view_v that_o lamb_n

stupendous_a mystery_n be_v this_o that_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o son_n shall_v be_v a_o ransom_n for_o the_o profess_a rebel_n to_o the_o father_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n 20.28_o act_n 20.28_o as_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o shall_v be_v lay_v down_o as_o the_o price_n of_o a_o accurse_a slave_n and_o that_o he_o who_o from_o heaven_n may_v have_v be_v the_o revenger_n of_o our_o crime_n shall_v now_o be_v the_o only_a undertaker_n for_o they_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a surprise_n to_o the_o heathen_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n when_o they_o fancy_v that_o their_o god_n be_v come_v down_o 14.11_o act_n 14.11_o and_o appear_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o man_n but_o what_o will_v they_o have_v say_v then_o if_o they_o have_v see_v they_o die_v like_o man_n too_o and_o fall_v not_o like_o one_o of_o the_o prince_n but_o like_o slave_n what_o a_o amaze_a thought_n be_v this_o that_o he_o who_o be_v infinite_o exalt_v far_o above_o all_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o praise_n shall_v now_o be_v not_o only_o the_o votary_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n himself_o and_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o lamb_n to_o the_o altar_n from_o whence_o he_o may_v have_v command_v all_o our_o worship_n this_o be_v such_o a_o wonderful_a scene_n as_o seems_z as_o much_o above_o our_o wonder_n as_o our_o faith_n as_o far_o above_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n as_o it_o be_v beneath_o the_o majesty_n of_o a_o god._n instead_o therefore_o of_o a_o further_a discourse_n we_o shall_v do_v much_o better_o by_o fall_v low_a upon_o our_o knee_n and_o

god_n can_v never_o condescend_v so_o low_a but_o for_o the_o high_a end_n and_o purpose_n so_o his_o blood_n be_v effectual_a for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o they_o and_o since_o the_o great_a end_n of_o his_o undertake_n be_v to_o deliver_v we_o both_o from_o the_o gild_n and_o dominion_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o we_o may_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v available_a for_o the_o cancel_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o conquer_a the_o prevail_a power_n of_o the_o other_o which_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o three_o general_n head_n viz._n the_o effect_n and_o

for_o we_o so_o likewise_o that_o he_o buy_v we_o it_o be_v equal_o certain_a that_o the_o price_n be_v accept_v as_o that_o it_o be_v offer_v for_o as_o that_o blood_n be_v infinite_o valuable_a so_o it_o can_v not_o fail_v of_o be_v effectual_a agreeable_o we_o find_v that_o it_o not_o only_o seal_v but_o procure_v a_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v call_v by_o the_o apostle_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n 12.24_o heb._n 13.20_o heb._n 12.24_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v because_o those_o overture_n of_o mercy_n and_o

of_o that_o blood_n we_o must_v first_o know_v what_o be_v the_o term_n and_o proposal_n of_o this_o new_a covevenant_n because_o all_o the_o act_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n that_o be_v contain_v and_o promulge_v in_o the_o one_o be_v the_o pure_a result_v and_o effect_n of_o the_o other_o and_o consequent_o since_o the_o gospel_n covenant_n do_v on_o one_o side_n promise_v great_a help_n and_o assistance_n for_o the_o discharge_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o on_o the_o other_o pardon_n and_o remission_n for_o the_o defect_n of_o it_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v by_o the_o former_a that_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o the_o latter_a from_o the_o gild_n of_o it_o by_o provide_v such_o help_n and_o ability_n he_o have_v subdue_v its_o power_n by_o open_v a_o fountain_n of_o pardon_n he_o have_v cancel_v its_o obligation_n hence_o on_o one_o side_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n through_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n to_o have_v redemption_n through_o his_o blood_n even_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n 1.18_o colos_n 1.14_o tit._n 2.14_o 1_o pet._n 1.18_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v redeem_v from_o all_o iniquity_n from_o a_o vain_a conversation_n from_o the_o present_a evil_a world_n this_o refer_v to_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n the_o other_o to_o the_o gild_n of_o it_o but_o because_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o mutual_a covenant_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n do_v contain_v certain_a condition_n to_o be_v perform_v on_o our_o part_n too_o and_o since_o the_o grace_n and_o pardon_v therein_o promise_v be_v dispense_v agreeable_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o condition_n therefore_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n tho'_o infinite_o meritorious_a can_v be_v no_o further_o beneficial_a to_o we_o than_o as_o we_o apply_v those_o benefit_n by_o a_o discharge_n of_o those_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o find_v repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n so_o often_o link_v together_o the_o one_o as_o the_o indispensable_a condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o other_o as_o the_o inseparable_a blessing_n annex_v to_o it_o by_o

you_o be_v resolve_v therefore_o how_o you_o be_v buy_v or_o redeem_v with_o this_o price_n the_o answer_n be_v obvious_a that_o christ_n have_v not_o so_o redeem_v we_o as_o actual_o to_o instate_v we_o in_o salvation_n without_o a_o possibility_n of_o a_o miscarriage_n but_o that_o by_o open_v a_o fountain_n of_o mercy_n and_o provide_v we_o mean_n by_o which_o our_o salvation_n may_v be_v accomplish_v he_o have_v put_v we_o all_o in_o a_o glorious_a condition_n and_o capacity_n of_o attain_v it_o thus_o have_v the_o lord_n visit_v and_o redeem_v his_o people_n and_o raise_v up_o a_o mighty_a salvation_n in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o servant_n david_n he_o have_v break_v the_o gate_n of_o brass_n and_o cut_v the_o bar_n of_o iron_n asunder_o he_o have_v strike_v off_o our_o fetter_n and_o cancel_v our_o obligation_n upon_o the_o reasonable_a term_n of_o faith_n and_o penitence_n and_o be_v thus_o set_v free_a it_o be_v in_o your_o power_n now_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n blood_n to_o work_v out_o your_o own_o salvation_n life_n and_o death_n be_v fair_o set_v before_o you_o if_o iniquity_n be_v your_o ruin_n it_o be_v your_o choice_n too_o and_o if_o you_o
