or_o the_o like_a the_o aim_n of_o he_o that_o take_v he_o be_v not_o to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o to_o make_v he_o deny_v his_o colour_n and_o commander_n and_o if_o he_o can_v make_v he_o

and_o it_o be_v a_o new_a grant_n to_o serve_v he_o without_o fear_n as_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n for_o god_n to_o bestow_v ability_n before_o we_o have_v it_o so_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o quicken_v that_o ability_n which_o he_o vouchsafe_v that_o we_o may_v honour_v he_o by_o it_o and_o he_o may_v honour_v himself_o by_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o pregnant_a place_n colos_n 1._o last_o verse_n when_o paul_n be_v there_o labour_v what_o he_o can_v yet_o as_o though_o he_o have_v nothing_o as_o though_o he_o do_v nothing_o he_o give_v all_o to_o god_n for_o mark_v the_o

neither_o will_v thou_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n now_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v see_v corruption_n but_o this_o be_v a_o dishonourable_a infirmity_n for_o christ_n though_o he_o suffer_v for_o we_o yet_o he_o raise_v up_o himself_o from_o the_o vildness_n of_o the_o grave_n and_o see_v no_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o dishonour_n to_o he_o john_n 19.33_o 36._o when_o the_o soldier_n find_v our_o saviour_n dead_a they_o break_v not_o his_o leg_n that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o say_v not_o a_o bone_n of_o he_o shall_v be_v break_v whatsoever_o dishonour_n our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v submit_v himself_o unto_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v but_o what_o be_v not_o by_o law_n require_v and_o what_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o he_o to_o suffer_v that_o christ_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o jew_n to_o do_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o law_n do_v not_o require_v this_o in_o the_o curse_n that_o his_o leg_n shall_v be_v break_v and_o therefore_o christ_n will_v not_o undergo_v it_o this_o be_v the_o three_o conclusion_n use_v 1_o from_o the_o former_a truth_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v die_v this_o natural_a death_n i_o gather_v thus_o much_o it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a sweet_a cordial_a to_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o sick_a bed_n it_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o strong_a consolation_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o bear_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n people_n in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n that_o they_o may_v lift_v up_o their_o head_n with_o comfort_n and_o look_v

with_o it_o nor_o dismay_v by_o it_o there_o be_v no_o bitterness_n in_o that_o pill_n nor_o no_o venom_n in_o that_o cup_n to_o thou_o for_o the_o poison_n be_v go_v therefore_o be_v not_o you_o trouble_v with_o it_o whensoever_o god_n send_v it_o upon_o you_o for_o the_o sharp_a death_n of_o a_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v like_o a_o humble_a bee_n that_o have_v no_o sting_n in_o it_o which_o

christ_n take_v down_o the_o frame_n of_o this_o nature_n that_o he_o may_v make_v it_o a_o more_o excellent_a frame_n it_o be_v therefore_o say_v that_o a_o christian_n die_v rather_o in_o the_o

a_o little_a this_o justification_n we_o term_v a_o conveyance_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o imputation_n but_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o word_n by_o way_n of_o

of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o god_n the_o father_n by_o faith_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n the_o meaning_n be_v he_o be_v a_o common_a saviour_n to_o all_o believer_n that_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o common_a ground_n every_o one_o have_v a_o share_n in_o it_o and_o every_o borderer_n though_o never_o so_o poor_a may_v come_v and_o put_v on_o

3._o verse_n of_o jude_n call_v it_o the_o common_a salvation_n not_o common_a to_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n but_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a that_o border_n upon_o the_o promise_n and_o do_v believe_v in_o they_o it_o be_v common_a to_o they_o all_o and_o the_o man_n that_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n be_v to_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o there_o to_o confess_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n this_o be_v the_o unburthen_v himself_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n the_o

leviticus_n 16.21_o of_o the_o escape_n goat_n there_o be_v two_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v a_o burn_a offering_n and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o escape_v aaron_n be_v

the_o iniquity_n to_o a_o land_n not_o inhabit_v and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o a_o burn_a offering_n this_o be_v the_o type_n now_o the_o intendment_n of_o the_o ceremony_n be_v this_o the_o goat_n be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o aaron_n do_v put_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o goat_n and_o confess_v over_o he_o all_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o do_v put_v they_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o goat_n it_o be_v thus_o much_o god_n the_o father_n do_v charge_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n upon_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n even_o of_o all_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o do_v put_v they_o all_o upon_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o howsoever_o he_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n yet_o he_o be_v a_o escape_n goat_n and_o have_v escape_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n and_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n and_o with_o he_o all_o believer_n shall_v escape_v from_o hell_n and_o death_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o merit_n further_o you_o see_v how_o the_o prophet_n expound_v the_o law_n esay_n 53.4_o 5._o we_o think_v he_o

our_o iniquity_n and_o i_o think_v it_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o escape_n goat_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v peremptory_o say_v heb._n 7.22_o he_o be_v make_v a_o surety_n

they_o yet_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o fasten_v any_o guilt_n upon_o thou_o to_o condemn_v thou_o look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o three_o child_n the_o fire_n in_o its_o own_o

and_o when_o do_v they_o end_v quest._n 3_o three_o whether_o do_v he_o suffer_v they_o in_o soul_n or_o in_o body_n or_o in_o both_o quest._n 1_o first_o what_o be_v the_o punishment_n that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v of_o what_o kind_n be_v they_o answer_n for_o answer_v hereunto_o he_o suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o first_o death_n by_o the_o first_o death_n i_o mean_v the_o death_n natural_a when_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v take_v down_o and_o those_o two_o old_a familiar_a friend_n be_v part_v this_o death_n our_o saviour_n do_v suffer_v but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o far_o he_o do_v suffer_v the_o death_n natural_a let_v i_o answer_v it_o in_o three_o conclusion_n first_o whatsoever_o appertain_v to_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o essential_o of_o the_o first_o death_n that_o be_v the_o desolation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v suffer_v for_o that_o only_o be_v threaten_v unto_o adam_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o sin_n therefore_o christ_n need_v not_o to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v threaten_v in_o genesis_n 2.17_o the_o curse_n threaten_v be_v this_o in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o do_v eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n the_o curse_n do_v not_o mention_v many_o death_n nor_o do_v it_o punctual_o set_v forth_o any_o one_o death_n but_o whatsoever_o death_n it_o be_v it_o be_v leave_v indifferent_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o our_o saviour_n this_o i_o speak_v to_o wipe_v away_o a_o carnal_a cavil_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o this_o truth_n by_o some_o that_o will_v diminish_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n if_o christ_n do_v suffer_v punishment_n for_o all_o then_o why_o be_v he_o not_o stone_v with_o stone_n as_o steven_n be_v and_o why_o be_v he_o not_o saw_v in_o piece_n or_o burn_v or_o the_o like_a the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n follow_v not_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o suffer_v many_o death_n nay_o the_o curse_n do_v not_o intimate_v any_o one_o death_n in_o particular_a but_o only_a death_n in_o the_o general_a now_o say_v they_o if_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v all_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o faithful_a than_o he_o suffer_v so_o many_o particular_a death_n the_o argument_n be_v false_a for_o look_v how_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o root_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o commit_v sin_n look_v what_o death_n he_o deserve_v that_o death_n our_o saviour_n be_v to_o suffer_v and_o it_o be_v require_v of_o he_o and_o this_o death_n our_o saviour_n undertake_v but_o when_o adam_n have_v commit_v sin_n there_o be_v not_o many_o death_n denounce_v nay_o nor_o any_o one_o particular_a death_n but_o only_a death_n in_o the_o general_a and_o therefore_o death_n in_o the_o general_a be_v only_o threaten_v death_n in_o the_o general_a our_o saviour_n be_v only_o bind_v to_o suffer_v second_o though_o the_o curse_n do_v not_o require_v any_o one_o particular_a death_n and_o say_v thou_o shall_v be_v stone_v or_o saw_v in_o piece_n or_o the_o like_a yet_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v show_v the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n which_o deserve_v the_o worst_a death_n of_o all_o and_o to_o express_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o l●●e_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v content_v to_o die_v in_o that_o manner_n and_o that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v show_v his_o justice_n in_o punish_v of_o sin_n for_o this_o end_n god_n the_o

christ_n do_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o this_o and_o god_n the_o father_n do_v lay_v this_o upon_o christ_n that_o sin_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v most_o heinous_a and_o that_o sin_n may_v be_v

of_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o answer_n namely_o that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v the_o death_n natural_a now_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v in_o his_o body_n but_o he_o suffer_v in_o his_o soul_n also_o you_o may_v conceive_v of_o it_o in_o two_o particular_n first_o there_o be_v a_o real_a withdraw_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n of_o

you_o will_v sink_v under_o the_o same_o for_o ever_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n in_o general_a why_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v pain_n both_o in_o body_n and_o in_o soul_n than_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v three_o and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o special_a use_n reason_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n which_o require_v this_o by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o be_v only_o surable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n whereby_o adam_n have_v entrench_v upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o god_n the_o father_n every_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n intrench_v near_o upon_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o provoke_a nature_n because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n therefore_o that_o divine_a justice_n may_v not_o be_v a_o loser_n there_o must_v be_v a_o punishment_n not_o only_o corporal_a but_o also_o spiritual_a for_o justice_n abate_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n god_n be_v just_a and_o this_o be_v justice_n to_o give_v every_o one_o his_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o honour_n belong_v and_o punishment_n to_o who_o punishment_n belong_v therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v be_v preserve_v she_o must_v inflict_v these_o punishment_n upon_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o our_o room_n the_o jesuit_n have_v devise_v a_o cavil_n against_o this_o reason_n say_v they_o it_o need_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v these_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n and_o if_o he_o bear_v death_n it_o be_v sufficient_a he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o other_o pain_n in_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o be_v a_o thing_n marvellous_a injurious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o for_o by_o the_o same_o right_n that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o
hell_n and_o condemnation_n every_o believe_a soul_n of_o you_o do_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v pass_v by_o poor_a little_a one_o no_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v one_o of_o you_o but_o he_o will_v in_o his_o appoint_a time_n help_v and_o deliver_v you_o therefore_o be_v not_o trouble_v not_o dismay_v but_o resolve_v of_o this_o and_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v deliver_v therefore_o let_v my_o soul_n be_v for_o ever_o cheer_v what_o will_v you_o have_v and_o what_o do_v you_o fear_v be_v it_o your_o sin_n do_v you_o think_v that_o they_o bear_v you_o a_o old_a grudge_n and_o they_o will_v be_v clamour_v up_o to_o heaven_n against_o you_o and_o complain_v of_o you_o at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n do_v you_o fear_v they_o so_o you_o may_v just_o because_o of_o that_o secret_a slide_n off_o from_o the_o truth_n oh_o say_v thou_o my_o errand_n be_v do_v in_o heaven_n before_o this_o time_n and_o my_o sin_n knock_v at_o heaven_n gate_n and_o say_v justice_z lord_z i_o have_v take_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o as_o thou_o be_v a_o god_n of_o justice_n execute_v justice_n upon_o a_o rebellious_a soul_n now_o therefore_o remember_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v he_o have_v take_v thy_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o have_v suffer_v the_o punishment_n of_o they_o 1_o john_n 2.1_o little_a child_n sin_v not_o at_o all_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v

that_o i_o have_v receive_v any_o blessing_n upon_o these_o blessing_n lord_n i_o may_v have_v drink_v the_o cup_n of_o thy_o wrath_n when_o i_o drink_v this_o beer_n i_o may_v have_v eat_v my_o

love_n of_o god_n bless_a be_v his_o name_n for_o it_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v do_v this_o for_o i_o muse_v of_o he_o speak_v for_o he_o work_n for_o he_o and_o do_v all_o for_o he_o in_o all_o misery_n and_o trouble_n sorrow_n and_o vexation_n temptation_n without_o and_o terror_n within_o love_v jesus_n christ_n therein_o though_o these_o befall_v thou_o yet_o the_o venom_n and_o poison_n of_o they_o be_v go_v and_o they_o be_v sweeten_v unto_o thou_o thy_o prison_n be_v liberty_n thy_o contempt_n be_v advancement_n in_o all_o the_o thing_n thou_o have_v love_n jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v procure_v these_o and_o now_o if_o you_o will_v not_o love_v jesus_n christ_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o who_o will_v you_o love_v nay_o who_o else_o can_v you_o love_v answer_v i_o will_v you_o love_v your_o friend_n that_o be_v dear_a unto_o you_o or_o your_o parent_n that_o do_v provide_v for_o you_o or_o your_o wife_n that_o be_v love_v and_o merciful_a to_o you_o you_o will_v love_v these_o as_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n you_o shall_v but_o love_n christ_n more_o than_o all_o these_o if_o you_o will_v love_v a_o friend_n or_o a_o father_n then_o much_o more_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o and_o the_o continuer_n and_o preserver_n of_o all_o a_o friend_n will_v be_v a_o enemy_n but_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n frame_v his_o heart_n a_o wife_n will_v rather_o be_v a_o trouble_n than_o a_o help_n but_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n order_n she_o therefore_o i_o say_v with_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 16.22_o if_o any_o man_n love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v he_o be_v anathema_n maranatha_n ask_v your_o neighbour_n if_o they_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v that_o soul_n be_v accurse_v until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o judgement_n curse_v he_o all_o you_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o all_o you_o devil_n in_o hell_n curse_v he_o all_o you_o creature_n and_o let_v this_o curse_n remain_v upon_o he_o until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n unto_o judgement_n and_o let_v these_o curse_n be_v seal_v down_o upon_o he_o for_o ever_o and_o when_o you_o be_v come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o this_o will_v be_v the_o plague_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o all_o that_o you_o have_v christ_n and_o mercy_n render_v to_o you_o once_o and_o you_o will_v not_o receive_v it_o therefore_o since_o christ_n have_v think_v nothing_o too_o good_a for_o we_o even_o his_o life_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n think_v nothing_o too_o good_a for_o christ_n but_o love_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o by_o all_o mean_n the_o lord_n grant_v we_o may_v finis_fw-la
