the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n he_o must_v be_v our_o mediator_n and_o redeemer_n and_o that_o in_o his_o very_a death_n therefore_o he_o must_v be_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o

will_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o we_o who_o know_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n himself_o it_o be_v part_n of_o our_o saviour_n office_n to_o forgive_v sin_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n alone_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o office_n to_o redeem_v we_o and_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o damnation_n except_o he_o have_v be_v the_o lord_n he_o can_v

matter_n whereupon_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v found_v and_o establish_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o insist_v so_o long_o upon_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o plentiful_a in_o it_o we_o will_v come_v now_o to_o the_o reason_n reas_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n among_o man_n wherein_o stand_v it_o not_o in_o the_o make_n and_o write_v of_o it_o but_o in_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o covenant_n make_v between_o god_n and_o man_n that_o he_o will_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o will_v sanctify_v we_o and_o it_o be_v seal_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v firm_a and_o sure_a in_o themselves_o because_o god_n have_v make_v they_o and_o they_o need_v no_o seal_n yet_o because_o god_n have_v make_v this_o covenant_n respective_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o seal_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o look_v whatsoever_o force_n and_o benefit_n it_o be_v of_o to_o we_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o whosoever_o can_v show_v this_o seal_n for_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v part_n in_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o may_v challenge_v that_o they_o have_v their_o part_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o whosoever_o can_v they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o it_o reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o testament_n which_o must_v always_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n and_o be_v not_o of_o force_n before_o the_o party_n be_v dead_a the_o apostle_n apply_v it_o so_o in_o hebr._n 9.16_o 17._o reas_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n a_o burn_v offer_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n no_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v kill_v and_o offer_v in_o blood_n levit._n 1.7_o and_o therefore_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n he_o must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v reas_n 4_o the_o four_o reason_n it_o hold_v by_o way_n of_o proportion_n between_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o old_a the_o old_a testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o blood_n and_o so_o must_v the_o new_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o pascall_n lamb_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o kill_v and_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v likewise_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v kill_v slay_v and_o blood_n shed_v so_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o shed_v his_o blood_n reas_n 5_o the_o five_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v necessary_o require_v it_o and_o can_v not_o be_v dispense_v withal_o but_o whosoever_o sin_n must_v die_v the_o death_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v our_o redeemer_n he_o must_v endure_v that_o death_n which_o we_o must_v have_v suffer_v else_o the_o law_n can_v never_o have_v be_v satisfy_v reas_n 6_o again_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o must_v have_v a_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n it_o can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n act_v 20.28_o take_v heed_n therefore_o unto_o yourselves_o and_o to_o all_o the_o flock_n over_o the_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v you_o quer-seer_n to_o feed_v the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n mark_v now_o this_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n god_n be_v offend_v and_o he_o must_v receive_v full_a satisfaction_n therefore_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o satisfy_v he_o can_v not_o satisfy_v but_o only_o by_o his_o blood_n nay_o i_o say_v more_o christ_n can_v not_o have_v satisfy_v but_o that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o person_n satisfy_v may_v be_v answerable_a to_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o person_n offend_v and_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n reas_n 7_o then_o another_o reason_n be_v the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o where_o be_v no_o shed_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n and_o therefore_o whosoever_o come_v as_o a_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o procure_v for_o we_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n his_o blood_n must_v be_v shed_v else_o our_o sin_n still_o remain_v unpardoned_a and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n the_o use_v use_v 1_o first_o it_o teach_v we_o what_o it_o

you_o see_v there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o baptism_n must_v be_v but_o once_o because_o that_o be_v the_o admission_n of_o we_o into_o the_o church_n but_o this_o be_v our_o go_v forward_o in_o

that_o the_o passeover_n be_v but_o for_o one_o temporal_a deliverance_n from_o the_o egyptian_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o that_o one_o deliverance_n be_v but_o once_o wrought_v but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n resemble_v unto_o we_o our_o eternal_a deliverance_n from_o sin_n satan_n hell_n death_n and_o damnation_n and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o wrought_v

we_o be_v thorough_o convert_v still_o the_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v and_o the_o new_a man_n be_v repair_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o howsoever_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o passover_n be_v once_o celebrate_v and_o but_o once_o yet_o this_o sacrament_n crament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v oft_o to_o be_v receive_v because_o it_o be_v the_o celebration_n of_o our_o eternal_a

only_o upon_o good_a friday_n and_o no_o time_n else_o but_o they_o themselves_o confess_v that_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o therefore_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n this_o can_v be_v no_o just_a

of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v more_o careful_a say_v they_o than_o christ_n and_o he_o never_o receive_v it_o but_o once_o in_o all_o his_o life_n time_n and_o therefore_o

first_o church_n that_o ever_o be_v after_o christ_n ascension_n and_o the_o visible_a come_n down_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o may_v call_v it_o the_o very_a prime_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o where_o shall_v we_o have_v a_o fit_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n than_o that_o which_o be_v fetch_v from_o the_o first_o visible_a church_n after_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n usual_o god_n ordinance_n be_v best_a at_o the_o first_o institution_n when_o they_o be_v fresh_a out_o of_o god_n hand_n spick_a and_o span_a new_a as_o it_o be_v in_o time_n when_o they_o come_v into_o man_n handle_n they_o be_v degenerate_a and_o corrupt_a but_o at_o the_o first_o when_o they_o come_v out_o of_o god_n handle_v than_o they_o be_v most_o pure_a and_o sincere_a marriage_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o first_o marriage_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v the_o best_a marriage_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o that_o be_v the_o pattern_n that_o all_o other_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v and_o fashion_v by_o as_o our_o saviour_n show_v matth._n 19.4.5_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o the_o first_o that_o ever_o be_v be_v the_o

the_o first_o church_n after_o christ_n ascension_n be_v in_o best_a case_n of_o all_o other_o church_n and_o therefore_o that_o be_v a_o fit_a pattern_n for_o other_o church_n to_o be_v try_v and_o

of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o corinth_n and_o ephesus_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v they_o be_v goodly_a church_n and_o have_v some_o more_o outward_a compliment_n than_o this_o have_v but_o

but_o what_o say_v you_o of_o the_o church_n when_o our_o saviour_n himself_o live_v and_o be_v personal_o present_a and_o preach_v on_o earth_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o even_o in_o respect_n of_o

18._o second_o i_o say_v that_o set_v only_a christ_n personal_a presence_n aside_o that_o be_v not_o comparable_a to_o this_o for_o then_o the_o church_n be_v not_o so_o thorough_o furnish_v with_o gift_n as_o now_o it_o be_v yea_o then_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o have_v not_o receive_v that_o fullness_n of_o power_n from_o on_o high_a as_o now_o they_o have_v take_v it_o thus_o christ_n jesus_n by_o his_o life_n and_o preach_v and_o miracle_n do_v as_o it_o be_v plant_v the_o church_n christ_n jesus_n by_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n do_v as_o it_o be_v water_v the_o church_n christ_n jesus_n by_o his_o ascension_n and_o send_v down_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ripen_v his_o church_n and_o furnish_v it_o with_o all_o sufficient_a gift_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o perfection_n beside_o that_o church_n be_v only_o a_o provincial_a church_n consist_v of_o jews_n only_a within_o judea_n but_o this_o be_v a_o more_o general_a church_n gather_v out_o of_o all_o the_o jew_n and_o

all_o of_o they_o issue_v and_o proceed_v out_o of_o this_o as_o so_o many_o stream_n out_o of_o one_o fountain_n rome_n pretend_v and_o challenge_v itself_o to_o be_v the_o mother_n church_n but_o false_o this_o this_o be_v the_o true_a mother_n church_n of_o all_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v in_o another_o case_n ezek._n 16.44_o as_o be_v the_o
