christ_n but_o i_o say_v it_o can_v be_v throughout_o so_o for_o than_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n and_o never_o know_v that_o they_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n then_o christ_n will_v be_v no_o more_o the_o saviour_n of_o his_o people_n than_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o stone_n or_o insensible_a rock_n we_o must_v therefore_o come_v to_o have_v a_o feeling_n and_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v we_o or_o else_o we_o can_v not_o receive_v his_o salvation_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v the_o better_o within_o if_o we_o do_v not_o know_v christ_n a_o understanding_n and_o intellectual_a be_v must_v have_v such_o a_o knowledge_n of_o faith_n to_o know_v christ_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v phil._n 3._o i_o count_v all_o thing_n but_o loss_n for_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n my_o lord_n i_o must_v know_v he_o not_o that_o this_o contribute_v any_o thing_n to_o our_o happiness_n but_o only_o the_o feel_n and_o enjoy_v that_o happiness_n that_o happiness_n be_v only_o from_o god_n but_o as_o you_o know_v a_o blind_a man_n be_v never_o the_o better_a in_o point_n of_o light_n and_o sight_n though_o the_o sun_n be_v never_o so_o glorious_a every_o one_o that_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o we_o must_v see_v he_o or_o else_o we_o can_v not_o know_v he_o be_v we_o we_o can_v have_v no_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o our_o soul_n will_v be_v still_o like_o unsensible_a rock_n and_o marble_n if_o there_o be_v not_o this_o sense_n by_o faith_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n by_o believe_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a truth_n that_o faith_n be_v a_o manifestation_n to_o we_o and_o within_o we_o that_o christ_n be_v we_o when_o our_o soul_n receive_v the_o touch_n of_o his_o love_n and_o grace_n upon_o we_o and_o we_o come_v to_o know_v and_o find_v the_o sweetness_n to_o taste_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v gracious_a and_o to_o know_v what_o a_o pearl_n we_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n and_o that_o we_o find_v christ_n be_v we_o and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o in_o the_o three_o place_n there_o can_v not_o else_o be_v a_o manifestatory_n glory_n it_o be_v true_a christ_n be_v glorious_a as_o a_o saviour_n but_o we_o can_v not_o glorify_v he_o if_o we_o do_v not_o know_v by_o faith_n that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o saviour_n this_o be_v that_o that_o the_o soul_n make_v its_o boast_n in_o god_n by_o this_o draw_v it_o to_o glory_n in_o christ_n and_o to_o give_v all_o the_o glory_n it_o can_v do_v to_o he_o because_o it_o find_v it_o be_v save_v by_o he_o and_o he_o alone_o now_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a god_n have_v no_o need_n of_o glory_n from_o angel_n nor_o from_o man_n to_o manifest_v his_o glory_n by_o they_o but_o it_o please_v the_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v his_o infinite_a be_v before_o such_o being_n as_o angel_n and_o man_n fit_v with_o understanding_n to_o behold_v it_o why_o so_o christ_n have_v no_o need_n of_o our_o glorify_v of_o he_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o be_v glorify_v by_o we_o and_o that_o we_o glorify_v he_o by_o acknowledge_v all_o our_o salvation_n from_o he_o and_o herein_o be_v faith_n of_o great_a use_n it_o give_v glory_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v abraham_n be_v strong_a in_o faith_n give_v glory_n to_o god_n rom._n 4._o so_o faith_n give_v glory_n to_o the_o righteousness_n and_o freeness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o in_o the_o four_o place_n it_o be_v also_o necessary_a upon_o this_o account_n for_o i_o be_o far_o in_o all_o this_o discourse_n from_o that_o which_o be_v true_o call_v antinomianism_n or_o libertinism_n i_o say_v as_o faith_n look_v outward_a and_o from_o christ_n into_o holy_a action_n the_o knowledge_n that_o faith_n give_v be_v serviceable_a in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n to_o all_o holiness_n and_o purification_n of_o life_n to_o live_v to_o he_o to_o live_v and_o to_o walk_v by_o faith_n to_o be_v every_o way_n self-resigning_n according_a to_o that_o whole_a 11_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v endeavour_v with_o all_o briefness_n to_o set_v out_o the_o excellent_a nature_n of_o faith_n i_o shall_v but_o make_v one_o short_a application_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v to_o stir_v up_o all_o our_o heart_n in_o look_v up_o to_o god_n according_a to_o that_o great_a prayer_n ephes_n 3._o 14_o 15_o 16._o verse_n for_o this_o cause_n i_o bow_v my_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o the_o whole_a family_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v name_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o might_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n to_o what_o end_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n o_o look_v up_o to_o this_o you_o see_v how_o faith_n be_v indeed_o always_o call_v up_o by_o christ_n when_o he_o give_v himself_o to_o any_o soul_n when_o he_o come_v to_o dwell_v in_o any_o soul_n faith_n must_v receive_v he_o it_o must_v embrace_v he_o it_o must_v depend_v whole_o upon_o he_o now_o therefore_o o_o that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v strengthen_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n alas_o our_o inner_a man_n you_o may_v see_v plain_o by_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v be_v very_o weak_a and_o unfaithful_a and_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o this_o expression_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o the_o inner_a man_n will_v never_o draw_v in_o christ_n it_o will_v never_o hold_v he_o if_o it_o come_v to_o he_o our_o inner_a man_n be_v such_o a_o false_a thing_n to_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n it_o be_v such_o a_o feeble_a weak_a thing_n it_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v christ_n but_o the_o spirit_n strengthen_v the_o inner_a man_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o faith_n else_o i_o say_v it_o can_v never_o if_o you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o use_v such_o a_o plain_a word_n as_o that_o fetch_v in_o christ_n and_o if_o he_o come_v it_o will_v never_o hold_v he_o our_o inner_a man_n must_v be_v strengthen_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o we_o and_o then_o we_o go_v forward_o to_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o comprehend_v that_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o we_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v nothing_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v that_o can_v just_o offend_v any_o man_n mind_n for_o it_o be_v full_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n and_o of_o scripture_n reason_n and_o it_o exclude_v all_o manner_n of_o looseness_n and_o libertinism_n of_o life_n for_o christ_n be_v certain_o sanctification_n to_o every_o one_o to_o who_o he_o be_v justification_n he_o give_v the_o power_n of_o holiness_n and_o faith_n be_v make_v serviceable_a as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o immanent_a act_n be_v those_o whereby_o it_o stay_v within_o and_o have_v communion_n with_o christ_n wherein_o it_o have_v nothing_o but_o to_o depend_v and_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o then_o it_o work_v outward_a as_o they_o say_v of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n ad_fw-la extra_n the_o excellent_a act_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n they_o go_v out_o of_o themselves_o so_o faith_n go_v out_o to_o all_o the_o work_n of_o obedience_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o faith_n be_v when_o it_o work_v outward_a i_o will_v propose_v to_o you_o to_o read_v that_o chapter_n heb._n 11._o how_o great_o faith_n work_v outward_a but_o christ_n still_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o christ_n it_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o trust_v and_o depend_v and_o receive_v and_o o_o therefore_o let_v we_o all_o bow_n our_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o might_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n we_o can_v never_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o faith_n if_o the_o riches_n of_o glory_n do_v not_o come_v in_o with_o it_o and_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o come_v in_o with_o it_o and_o indeed_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n come_v he_o come_v and_o so_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n elicit_v as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o draw_v and_o bring_v the_o soul_n to_o clasp_v about_o he_o to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o he_o he_o bring_v the_o soul_n thus_o near_o to_o

blood_n o_o consider_v how_o your_o soul_n be_v act_v to_o he_o and_o so_o go_v from_o thence_o to_o all_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v no_o separation_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o the_o same_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v that_o strength_n that_o go_v out_o and_o create_v this_o world_n act_n ad_fw-la extra_fw-la or_o without_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n why_o so_o the_o faith_n which_o in_o its_o immanent_a act_n stay_v upon_o christ_n and_o his_o blood_n it_o also_o pass_v and_o go_v out_o upon_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n but_o then_o the_o second_o thing_n with_o which_o i_o will_v conclude_v be_v this_o that_o you_o mind_v these_o mighty_a power_n that_o act_n faith_n o_o mind_n all_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o great_a scripture_n that_o i_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o last_o day_n and_o with_o which_o i_o will_v close_v 〈◊〉_d discourse_n which_o show_v you_o that_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o faith_n be_v from_o god_n and_o from_o christ_n ephes_n 3._o 14._o for_o this_o cause_n i_o bow_v my_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o the_o whole_a family_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v name_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v unto_o you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o may_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n here_o you_o have_v the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n join_v in_o this_o great_a power_n of_o faith_n that_o you_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o love_n that_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v in_o your_o love_n to_o he_o i_o understand_v that_o first_o groundedness_n in_o love_n to_o christ_n a_o love_n that_o constrain_v we_o to_o live_v to_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o and_o then_o may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n o_o that_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o particular_o that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowldg_n and_o hereby_o we_o may_v come_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n o_o who_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v this_o great_a work_n into_o our_o heart_n why_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o conclude_v now_o unto_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o do_v exceed_v abundant_o above_o all_o that_o we_o ask_v or_o think_v according_a to_o the_o power_n that_o work_v in_o we_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v in_o we_o pray_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o rememember_v that_o he_o work_v above_o all_o that_o we_o ask_v or_o think_v and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o power_n work_v in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v find_v and_o see_v it_o and_o have_v experience_n of_o it_o unto_o he_o be_v glory_n say_v he_o in_o the_o church_n by_o jesus_n christ_n throughout_o all_o age_n world_n without_o end_n amen_n the_o end_n of_o the_o five_o sermon_n the_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v etc._n etc._n the_o six_o sermon_n rom._n 5._o 1._o therefore_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n from_o these_o word_n i_o have_v pitch_v upon_o that_o great_a point_n and_o doctrine_n of_o justify_v faith_n or_o of_o that_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o this_o faith_n it_o eye_n christ_n in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n as_o i_o prove_v from_o john_n 17._o 7_o 8._o far_o they_o have_v know_v concern_v i_o that_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o be_v of_o thou_o for_o i_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o the_o word_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o and_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o as_o so_o give_v unto_o i_o and_o have_v know_v sure_o that_o i_o come_v out_o from_o thou_o and_o they_o have_v believe_v that_o thou_o do_v send_v i_o so_o here_o be_v a_o constant_a eye_n of_o faith_n upon_o christ_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o have_v never_o be_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o faith_n in_o scripture-sense_n in_o gospel_n sense_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o christ_n if_o he_o the_o mediator_n have_v not_o be_v give_v i_o have_v speak_v of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o the_o ground_n why_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o justify_v here_o mean_v which_o i_o have_v not_o mention_v before_o to_o you_o but_o rather_o depend_v upon_o other_o scripture_n for_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o now_o viz._n why_o this_o faith_n or_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o faith_n that_o justify_v even_o out_o of_o that_o john_n 17._o 7_o 8._o and_o the_o reason_n i_o give_v for_o it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o faith_n upon_o which_o christ_n intercede_v pray_v observe_v it_o christ_n intercede_v for_o believer_n upon_o the_o faith_n that_o believer_n know_v sure_o and_o believe_v concern_v jesus_n christ_n for_o in_o the_o very_a next_o word_n you_o may_v observe_v it_o i_o pray_v for_o they_o say_v he_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n so_o he_o intercede_v for_o they_o they_o have_v know_v and_o believe_v that_o christ_n do_v sure_o come_v forth_o from_o god_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n of_o christ_n be_v divine_a infinite_o divine_a original_o divine_a now_o therefore_o upon_o whatsoever_o christ_n intercede_v pray_v consider_v in_o the_o very_a same_o line_n our_o foundation_n for_o righteousness_n and_o acceptance_n through_o christ_n rest_v his_o justify_v righteousness_n and_o redemption_n and_o his_o intercession_n run_v all_o upon_o one_o line_n together_o that_o be_v a_o plain_a point_n they_o go_v together_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o two_o place_n of_o scripture_n because_o i_o will_v not_o prevent_v myself_o in_o what_o i_o have_v especial_o to_o discourse_v of_o one_o be_v heb._n 9_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o all_o scripture_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o great_a price_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n god_n set_v forth_o christ_n as_o a_o propitiaton_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n now_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n enter_v by_o his_o blood_n into_o heaven_n heb._n 9_o 12._o but_o by_o his_o own_o blood_n he_o enter_v in_o once_o into_o the_o holy_a place_n have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o christ_n intercede_v now_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a place_n into_o that_o holy_a place_n make_v without_o hand_n he_o enter_v to_o intercede_v and_o again_o ver_fw-la 24._o christ_n enter_v not_o into_o the_o holy_a place_n make_v with_o hand_n which_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o true_a but_o into_o heaven_n itself_o now_o to_o appear_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o we_o so_o that_o he_o intercede_v plain_o upon_o his_o blood_n for_o where_o he_o intercede_v he_o enter_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o in_o 1_o john_n 2._o 1._o you_o also_o have_v the_o advocateship_n and_o the_o propitiation_n of_o christ_n join_v together_o my_o little_a child_n these_o thing_n write_v i_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o sin_v not_o and_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n viz._n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o

upon_o the_o faith_n of_o believer_n i_o pray_v for_o they_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n viz._n for_o they_o who_o know_v sure_o and_o believe_v in_o i_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o open_a faith_n also_o to_o you_o so_o that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o right_a understanding_n that_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o we_o or_o a_o grace_n in_o we_o or_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o only_o by_o its_o receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n they_o have_v know_v and_o they_o have_v sure_o know_v and_o they_o have_v believe_v that_o thou_o do_v send_v i_o knowledge_n or_o as_o the_o learned_a speak_v and_o the_o great_a man_n of_o reason_n call_v it_o science_n be_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o understanding_n now_o this_o our_o lord_n attribute_n to_o faith_n in_o that_o john_n 17._o they_o have_v know_v for_o christ_n do_v not_o come_v mean_o down_o when_o he_o have_v say_v
