all_o may_v be_v make_v alive_a 2._o from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n when_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o do_v design_n to_o establish_v another_o law_n among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n upon_o which_o account_n he_o can_v not_o but_o expect_v because_o of_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o this_o institution_n from_o that_o which_o they_o live_v under_o and_o the_o corrupt_a

therefore_o like_o a_o great_a exemplar_n of_o true_a courage_n he_o suffer_v these_o experience_n of_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n with●n_v his_o own_o soul_n to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v sympathize_v with_o and_o deliver_v they_o who_o through_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v in_o their_o life-time_n subject_a to_o bondage_n and_o therefore_o our_o apostle_n st._n paul_n here_o lay_v it_o as_o a_o foundation_n of_o comfort_n to_o they_o that_o dread_a persecution_n because_o they_o fear_v death_n now_o that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n and_o act_n like_o champion_n in_o their_o several_a station_n and_o fight_v manful_o against_o the_o opposer_n of_o his_o gospel_n viz._n the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n the_o

if_o any_o be_v under_o any_o pressure_n of_o spirit_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o profession_n of_o christian_a religion_n though_o they_o do_v not_o outlive_v and_o enjoy_v the_o promise_n of_o deliverance_n here_o in_o this_o life_n they_o shall_v rise_v again_o to_o eternal_a joy_n &_o felicity_n through_o he_o that_o love_v they_o &_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o &_o be_v rise_v

be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v that_o he_o may_v take_v away_o the_o fear_n of_o persecution_n and_o death_n itself_o which_o make_v man_n so_o cowardly_a and_o keep_v they_o in_o such_o awe_n that_o be_v in_o a_o most_o unchristian_a and_o servile_a condition_n whilst_o they_o see_v no_o hope_n of_o deliverance_n therefore_o christian_n be_v by_o the_o same_o apostle_n heb._n 12.1_o 2_o

of_o man_n come_v again_o to_o his_o god_n who_o he_o have_v forsake_v by_o sin_n whether_o he_o be_v jew_n or_o gentile_n by_o bring_v they_o under_o such_o a_o covenant_n as_o will_v admit_v of_o

true_a the_o jew_n for_o a_o time_n may_v challenge_v to_o himself_o some_o great_a remark_n of_o god_n favour_n than_o the_o gentile_a which_o do_v not_o know_v god_n but_o neither_o of_o they_o

bring_v misery_n upon_o their_o posterity_n &_o under_o this_o misery_n all_o mankind_n do_v groan_v &_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o have_v exclude_v themselves_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o acquaintance_n with_o he_o and_o have_v little_a or_o no_o mean_n of_o reform_v their_o life_n nor_o to_o make_v themselves_o capable_a of_o the_o return_n of_o god_n favour_n to_o they_o till_o christ_n do_v appear_v to_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o reconcile_a man_n to_o the_o eternal_a god_n by_o bring_v a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o god_n into_o the_o world_n by_o propose_v such_o term_n &_o mean_n as_o may_v conduce_v to_o their_o happiness_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o next_o for_o consider_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n be_v such_o as_o do_v render_v they_o to_o almighty_a god_n to_o be_v his_o enemy_n for_o they_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n and_o in_o open_a hostility_n against_o he_o now_o if_o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v a_o

must_v put_v they_o in_o a_o posture_n to_o receive_v and_o accept_v this_o salvation_n &_o that_o must_v be_v by_o reconcile_a they_o to_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v christ_n to_o give_v

they_o to_o favour_n to_o propose_v easy_a &_o free_a condition_n of_o mercy_n in_o his_o gospel_n &_o to_o use_v man_n so_o friendly_a as_o not_o to_o preclude_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n but_o invite_v he_o to_o repentance_n and_o to_o promise_v a_o pardon_n for_o all_o past_a sin_n so_o that_o man_n may_v thereby_o be_v induce_v to_o come_v to_o god_n and_o accept_v of_o the_o salvation_n
