nor_o your_o child_n that_o will_v serve_v this_o turn_n these_o thing_n though_o some_o of_o they_o be_v such_o as_o god_n have_v appoint_v yet_o these_o alone_a will_v not_o please_v god_n there_o be_v something_o else_o god_n look_v for_o from_o a_o people_n that_o will_v humble_v themselves_o aright_o before_o he_o and_o meet_v god_n in_o his_o worship_n with_o acceptation_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o that_o be_v he_o have_v show_v thou_o o_o man_n what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n require_v of_o thou_o but_o to_o do_v just_o and_o to_o love_v mercy_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n q._n d._n you_o inquire_v how_o you_o may_v come_v before_o the_o lord_n how_o you_o may_v humble_v yourselves_o in_o a_o right_a manner_n so_o as_o that_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v turn_v away_o from_o you_o and_o you_o may_v escape_v his_o impendent_a judgement_n you_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o desirous_a to_o have_v the_o lord_n still_o to_o be_v your_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v continue_v you_o to_o be_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v still_o go_v on_o to_o deliver_v and_o to_o defend_v you_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o time_n past_a then_o know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o sacrifice_n only_o that_o god_n desire_v but_o that_o which_o in_o conjunction_n therewith_o he_o do_v principal_o and_o ultimate_o require_v be_v that_o you_o do_v just_o and_o love_v mercy_n and_o walk_v humble_o with_o your_o god_n these_o thing_n be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o indispensible_o incumbent_a upon_o you_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v they_o to_o be_v his_o mind_n and_o will_n concern_v you_o and_o though_o there_o be_v other_o thing_n that_o god_n do_v require_v which_o in_o their_o place_n and_o time_n be_v to_o be_v attend_v to_o yet_o nothing_o comparative_o with_o these_o as_o to_o do_v just_o to_o love_v mercy_n and_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n in_o which_o word_n we_o have_v these_o two_o general_a part_n 1._o a_o tacit_n reprehension_n that_o the_o prophet_n give_v this_o people_n reprove_v that_o fleshly_a confidence_n they_o place_v in_o the_o external_a duty_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o much_o more_o in_o those_o arbitrary_a way_n of_o devotion_n which_o be_v of_o their_o own_o devise_v 2._o a_o positive_a direction_n that_o he_o lay_v before_o they_o how_o they_o may_v come_v before_o god_n in_o his_o own_o institute_v worship_n with_o acceptation_n and_o in_o that_o direction_n there_o be_v three_o particular_n considerable_a 1._o a_o discovery_n of_o a_o divine_a rule_n which_o we_o be_v to_o attend_v to_o in_o all_o our_o address_n to_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o revelation_n god_n have_v make_v of_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n to_o we_o he_o have_v show_v thou_o oh_o man_n 2._o a_o specification_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v conformable_a to_o that_o rule_n and_o to_o be_v regard_v by_o we_o viz._n justice_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v mercy_n that_o be_v to_o be_v love_v and_o humility_n that_o be_v to_o be_v express_v in_o our_o walk_n with_o god_n 331._o the_o last_o of_o which_o walk_v humble_o with_o god_n comprise_v the_o whole_a of_o our_o covenant_n obedience_n gen._n 17.1_o as_o the_o two_o former_a be_v eminent_a instance_n of_o it_o in_o particular_a 3._o a_o rational_a enforcement_n of_o the_o forementioned_a duty_n by_o argument_n one_o take_v from_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o have_v show_v thou_o oh_o man_n what_o be_v good_a another_o from_o the_o will_n and_o command_n of_o god_n concern_v these_o thing_n and_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n require_v of_o thou_o these_o thing_n be_v good_a to_o do_v just_o to_o love_v mercy_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o with_o god_n and_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n require_v and_o you_o must_v mind_n and_o attend_v unto_o if_o you_o will_v so_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o his_o worship_n as_o to_o have_v the_o lord_n pacify_v to_o you_o and_o his_o anger_n turn_v away_o from_o you_o the_o whole_a of_o which_o may_v be_v thus_o sum_v up_o doct._n that_o a_o people_n who_o will_v humble_v themselves_o aright_o before_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o difference_n between_o he_o and_o they_o comprimise_v and_o will_v come_v before_o the_o lord_n so_o as_o to_o be_v accept_v with_o he_o must_v not_o rest_v in_o and_o take_v up_o with_o the_o external_a duty_n of_o god_n worship_n but_o attend_v unto_o those_o thing_n in_o their_o practice_n that_o be_v expressive_a of_o real_a holiness_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o what_o he_o command_v and_o require_v of_o they_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o prove_v and_o improve_v this_o proposition_n it_o will_v be_v needful_a to_o premise_v this_o in_o the_o first_o place_n namely_o that_o the_o answer_n that_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o text_n give_v to_o this_o people_n question_n and_o the_o conclusion_n i_o have_v now_o form_v from_o it_o do_v not_o respect_v the_o way_n of_o atonement_n or_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n for_o as_o to_o that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o insufficiency_n in_o the_o high_a act_n of_o evangelical_n obedience_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o divine_a worship_n the_o payment_n of_o one_o debt_n can_v discharge_v we_o of_o another_o now_o we_o stand_v engage_v to_o god_n in_o a_o twofold_a debt_n a_o debt_n of_o punishment_n that_o be_v the_o consequent_a of_o sin_n whereby_o we_o become_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o a_o debt_n of_o duty_n which_o be_v our_o obligation_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n 6.23_o and_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o debt_n of_o duty_n can_v discharge_v we_o from_o the_o debt_n of_o sin_n when_o we_o do_v our_o duty_n we_o do_v but_o what_o we_o ought_v and_o the_o do_v what_o we_o ought_v can_v be_v a_o compensation_n for_o the_o do_v of_o what_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v if_o we_o come_v short_a in_o our_o duty_n that_o further_o increase_v the_o debt_n of_o sin_n but_o though_o we_o perform_v our_o duty_n that_o do_v not_o lessen_v the_o former_a debt_n we_o be_v debtor_n still_o to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n because_o we_o have_v violate_v his_o holy_a law_n the_o sanction_n of_o which_o be_v the_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v and_o be_v utter_o insolvent_a or_o uncapable_a to_o pay_v this_o debt_n by_o the_o most_o exact_a and_o continue_a obedience_n that_o we_o can_v yield_v to_o the_o command_n of_o it_o 2.16_o for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v if_o therefore_o the_o question_n be_v in_o what_o way_n be_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n satisfy_v for_o sin_n in_o what_o way_n and_o upon_o what_o account_n be_v god_n reconcile_v to_o sinner_n what_o be_v the_o meritorious_a and_o procure_a cause_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o a_o person_n or_o people_n that_o have_v provoke_v his_o anger_n against_o they_o by_o their_o sin_n he_o have_v show_v thou_o oh_o man_n in_o his_o word_n that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o obedience_n of_o thou_o that_o thou_o do_v or_o can_v perform_v unto_o god_n but_o the_o obedience_n the_o suffering_n the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o son_n our_o lord_n redeemer_n that_o be_v the_o only_a meritorious_a procure_a cause_n of_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o sinner_n 22._o he_o be_v the_o surety_n of_o that_o better_a covenant_n that_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n of_o sin_n for_o we_o and_o in_o our_o place_n 5.21_o that_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o by_o offer_v himself_o to_o god_n 9.26_o and_o do_v appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o but_o if_o the_o question_n be_v what_o it_o be_v that_o god_n require_v of_o man_n according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o will_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n mediation_n so_o as_o to_o have_v god_n actual_o reconcile_v to_o he_o and_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n turn_v away_o from_o he_o he_o have_v show_v thou_o oh_o man_n that_o it_o be_v not_o some_o slight_a external_a devotion_n a_o outside_n fast_v or_o confess_v of_o sin_n and_o humble_v yourself_o for_o a_o day_n but_o that_o in_o conjunction_n with_o a_o serious_a and_o hearty_a performance_n of_o these_o duty_n you_o do_v just_o and_o love_n mercy_n and_o walk_v humble_o with_o god_n our_o prophet_n do_v suppose_v god_n acceptance_n of_o the_o atonement_n for_o sin_n make_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o let_v they_o know_v that_o without_o a_o performance_n of_o the_o necessary_a duty_n of_o the_o gospel_n their_o claim_n to_o that_o atonement_n will_v be_v
