truth_n i_o need_v not_o go_v beyond_o the_o text_n for_o there_o it_o be_v plain_o and_o full_o assert_v for_o 1._o you_o see_v that_o here_o the_o apostle_n declare_v jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v pre-existed_n or_o to_o have_v have_v a_o be_v before_o he_o be_v man_n for_o unless_o he_o have_v subsist_v before_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v say_v that_o he_o take_v upon_o himself_o the_o

of_o the_o manner_n and_o condition_n of_o its_o existence_n 2._o it_o be_v clear_a by_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o state_n in_o which_o he_o pre-existed_n be_v preferable_a to_o and_o more_o glorious_a than_o that_o in_o which_o he_o be_v make_v or_o find_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o man_n otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o be_v true_a that_o he_o make_v himself_o of_o no_o reputation_n when_o he_o become_v man._n by_o which_o expression_n also_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o apostle_n evident_o refer_v to_o some_o pre-existent_a state_n for_o unless_o he_o debase_v himself_o by_o submit_v to_o be_v bear_v he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o debase_v himself_o by_o any_o after_o act_n for_o neither_o his_o birth_n nor_o first_o year_n be_v so_o glorious_a as_o his_o last_o in_o which_o he_o appear_v as_o a_o prophet_n at_o least_o and_o a_o very_a eminent_a one_o too_o full_a of_o power_n and_o authority_n 3._o we_o see_v clear_o here_o his_o divinity_n and_o godhead_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v express_o he_o be_v or_o subsist_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n and_o in_o that_o state_n think_v it_o not_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n by_o subsist_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n there_o must_v be_v understand_v 1._o a_o real_a participation_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o all_o its_o essential_a attribute_n as_o wisdom_n power_n goodness_n eternity_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o form_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v its_o essence_n and_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o form_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v to_o have_v the_o essence_n of_o that_o thing_n 2._o this_o comprehend_v the_o majesty_n glory_n authority_n splendour_n and_o dignity_n which_o agree_v to_o the_o infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a nature_n of_o god_n and_o all_o those_o act_n sign_n and_o token_n by_o which_o the_o great_a god_n manifest_v himself_o to_o the_o heavenly_a inhabitant_n for_o the_o form_n of_o a_o king_n be_v not_o the_o name_n or_o simple_a right_n to_o hold_v that_o name_n but_o it_o comprehend_v the_o mark_n badge_n and_o emblem_n of_o royal_a dignity_n as_o the_o purple_a the_o sceptre_n and_o diadem_n the_o throne_n and_o guard_n and_o what_o else_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n or_o the_o particular_a custom_n of_o kingdom_n make_v declarative_a of_o majesty_n and_o kingly_a power_n this_o be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o king_n and_o he_o who_o do_v not_o possess_v this_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o king_n so_o the_o form_n of_o god_n be_v the_o glory_n dignity_n majesty_n and_o greatness_n which_o be_v due_a to_o so_o high_a a_o name_n and_o by_o ascribe_v to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o form_n of_o god_n be_v declare_v that_o he_o not_o only_o in_o himself_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n but_o also_o that_o

somewhat_o more_o spiritual_a than_o what_o these_o amount_v to_o but_o to_o leave_v this_o and_o come_v to_o a_o application_n this_o text_n in_o both_o part_n may_v be_v accommodate_v application_n

and_o hereby_o also_o be_v set_v forth_o that_o which_o procure_v we_o this_o gracious_a privilege_n viz._n the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ._n wherefore_o those_o who_o desire_v to_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n and_o will_v have_v the_o comfort_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o everlasting_a glory_n shall_v embrace_v ready_o and_o cheerful_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o to_o speak_v free_o to_o you_o i_o know_v nothing_o can_v keep_v people_n from_o this_o sacrament_n and_o make_v they_o slight_v it_o but_o the_o want_n of_o a_o true_a desire_n after_o god_n and_o the_o little_a concern_v they_o have_v for_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n i_o pray_v god_n forgive_v those_o who_o have_v make_v some_o believe_v it_o a_o mark_n of_o religion_n or_o great_a sanctity_n to_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o our_o communion_n i_o entreat_v you_o be_v not_o easy_o deceive_v believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o examine_v well_o what_o you_o hear_v whether_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o truth_n none_o that_o know_v the_o truth_n or_o love_v the_o purity_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o

word_n of_o god_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o why_o shall_v person_n withdraw_v from_o our_o communion_n and_o what_o can_v excuse_v such_o withdraw_n these_o table_n be_v indeed_o too_o seldom_o

with_o needless_a and_o unwarrantable_a separation_n whereby_o we_o become_v both_o a_o prey_n and_o a_o laughingstock_n to_o our_o enemy_n how_o comely_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o say_v the_o psalmist_n

i_o pray_v you_o that_o you_o be_v all_o accountable_a to_o god_n as_o also_o as_o christian_n and_o member_n of_o his_o church_n you_o be_v all_o accountable_a to_o his_o minister_n especial_o to_o
