to_o he_o therefore_o christ_n suffering_n be_v as_o much_o in_o acceptation_n with_o god_n as_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v suffer_v ourselves_o so_o that_o we_o be_v thereby_o discharge_v and_o

indeed_o if_o we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o and_o our_o sin_n we_o can_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o nothing_o but_o death_n hell_n and_o damnation_n but_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o merit_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n than_o faith_n assure_v we_o of_o salvation_n and_o pardon_n of_o sin_n the_o papist_n say_v object_n that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n here_o in_o this_o life_n for_o this_o open_v a_o window_n say_v they_o to_o all_o disorder_n and_o looseness_n of_o live_v but_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o assurance_n the_o first_o absolute_a the_o second_o conditional_a salvation_n first_o absolute_a assurance_n that_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n do_v or_o howsoever_o a_o man_n live_v yet_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v faith_n do_v not_o assure_v a_o man_n of_o salvation_n if_o he_o live_v in_o his_o sin_n and_o do_v what_o he_o list_v or_o think_v good_a nay_o he_o be_v like_a to_o perish_v if_o he_o do_v so_o and_o he_o seal_v up_o his_o damnation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_a assurance_n that_o we_o have_v by_o faith_n conditional_a assurance_n be_v that_o which_o the_o gospel_n teach_v that_o if_o we_o repent_v for_o our_o sin_n lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n by_o faith_n if_o we_o believe_v than_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o if_o we_o have_v no_o care_n to_o repent_v to_o believe_v nor_o to_o walk_v with_o god_n in_o newness_n of_o life_n than_o we_o can_v be_v save_v therefore_o if_o man_n say_v they_o be_v sure_a of_o salvation_n they_o must_v look_v that_o they_o have_v a_o right_a ground_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v of_o some_o to_o know_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o they_o answer_v because_o we_o have_v not_o commit_v many_o sin_n other_o because_o we_o have_v do_v no_o harm_n to_o any_o body_n or_o because_o we_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n all_o this_o be_v nothing_o till_o one_o can_v ground_v himself_o on_o these_o two_o condition_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o so_o to_o make_v a_o logical_a discourse_n of_o assurance_n to_o himself_o from_o this_o ground_n that_o god_n have_v say_v in_o his_o word_n that_o whosoever_o repent_v and_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o i_o upon_o the_o search_n of_o my_o conscience_n do_v find_v that_o i_o have_v repent_v and_o do_v believe_v therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v save_v until_o a_o man_n i_o say_v can_v make_v this_o discourse_n he_o can_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o salvation_n but_o when_o man_n have_v the_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n from_o this_o ground_n and_o can_v make_v such_o a_o discourse_n unto_o themselves_o it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n that_o can_v pluck_v away_o this_o assurance_n from_o they_o this_o be_v a_o goodly_a comfort_n that_o a_o man_n can_v assure_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o he_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n howsoever_o he_o be_v poor_a ficke_n afflict_a and_o trouble_v here_o in_o this_o life_n yet_o he_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o one_o day_n he_o shall_v fit_v down_o with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o death_n must_v be_v the_o gate_n to_o let_v we_o in_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v go_v a_o long_a and_o tedious_a journey_n and_o in_o the_o way_n shall_v meet_v with_o many_o inconvenience_n yet_o if_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v be_v kind_o entertain_v at_o his_o journey_n end_n this_o will_v comfort_v he_o so_o we_o all_o be_v walk_v as_o it_o be_v a_o

that_o one_o day_n it_o will_v be_v bless_v and_o happy_a with_o we_o when_o we_o come_v at_o home_n at_o our_o journey_n end_n than_o christ_n will_v gird_v himself_o and_o serve_v we_o and_o all_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n and_o prophet_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o entertain_v we_o this_o be_v it_o that_o may_v comfort_v we_o so_o job_n be_v comfort_v in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o trouble_n job_n 19_o 23._o i_o know_v say_v he_o that_o my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o howsoever_o i_o have_v trouble_v here_o yet_o one_o day_n i_o shall_v see_v god_n so_o david_n psal._n 27._o 13._o i_o shall_v

all_o these_o thing_n we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n for_o all_o these_o trouble_v they_o rejoice_v and_o hope_v in_o god_n exceed_o so_o he_o burst_v out_o into_o this_o speech_n in_o a_o holy_a

from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n now_o strong_a faith_n you_o see_v be_v not_o so_o strong_a but_o that_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n it_o may_v be_v shrewd_o shake_v for_o as_o a_o strong_a man_n may_v catch_v a_o cold_a and_o by_o dis-dieting_a make_v himself_o that_o he_o can_v be_v able_a to_o walk_v with_o a_o staff_n so_o a_o man_n may_v as_o it_o be_v catch_v a_o cold_a and_o dis-diet_n himself_o by_o his_o sin_n make_v himself_o weak_a so_o david_n be_v confident_a in_o one_o part_n psal_n 31._o 14._o but_o i_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n i_o say_v thou_o be_v my_o god_n and_o in_o another_o place_n of_o the_o same_o psalm_n he_o say_v i_o be_o cast_v out_o of_o thy_o sight_n so_o job_n in_o one_o place_n be_v confident_a in_o peace_n

strong_a faith_n be_v not_o so_o strong_a but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v shrewd_o shake_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v now_o some_o man_n may_v say_v object_n if_o a_o man_n may_v lose_v the_o feel_n and_o comfort_n of_o his_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n what_o comfort_n in_o this_o case_n can_v he_o have_v i_o answer_v first_o a_o man_n may_v have_v comfort_n consider_v these_o four_o thing_n first_o that_o
our_o friend_n than_o the_o more_o power_n there_o be_v in_o god_n the_o more_o be_v our_o comfort_n but_o if_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n and_o displease_v with_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n than_o our_o terror_n be_v the_o great_a because_o he_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o powerful_a to_o destroy_v and_o bring_v we_o to_o nothing_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o make_v god_n our_o friend_n and_o father_n and_o then_o the_o more_o power_n there_o be_v in_o god_n the_o more_o will_v be_v our_o comfort_n now_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o attribute_n that_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o this_o there_o be_v divers_a particular_n to_o be_v observe_v 1._o who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v god_n 2._o what_o he_o make_v heaven_n

and_o earth_n it_o be_v god_n no_o man_n nor_o angel_n make_v it_o nor_o it_o make_v not_o itself_o but_o god_n make_v it_o genesis_n 1._o 1._o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v heaven_n and_o

that_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o in_o they_o be_v so_o heb._n 3._o 4._o for_o every_o house_n be_v build_v by_o some_o man_n but_o he_o that_o have_v

it_o be_v not_o make_v by_o man_n nor_o angel_n same_o neither_o do_v it_o make_v itself_o but_o god_n make_v it_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o comfort_n or_o any_o delight_n to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o creature_n god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o to_o be_v thank_v for_o it_o for_o we_o can_v make_v a_o stick_n nor_o a_o straw_n a_o feather_n a_o ear_n of_o corn_n nor_o a_o stalk_n of_o grass_n therefore_o see_v god_n have_v make_v a_o number_n of_o good_a thing_n for_o our_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n god_n be_v to_o be_v thank_v for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v set_v up_o a_o

all_o we_o see_v john_n 18._o when_o the_o soldier_n come_v to_o take_v christ_n say_v he_o if_o you_o seek_v for_o i_o let_v these_o go_v let_v i_o suffer_v and_o let_v these_o go_v free_a so_o

person_n of_o christ_n second_o 2._o see_v our_o salvation_n be_v perfect_v and_o finish_v in_o christ_n all_o our_o care_n must_v be_v to_o apply_v and_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n for_o though_o he_o have_v purchase_v salvation_n for_o we_o yet_o if_o we_o do_v not_o apply_v he_o and_o lie_v hold_v on_o he_o we_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v stand_v in_o the_o cold_a stark_o naked_a simile_n and_o one_o come_v by_o and_o see_v he_o who_o shall_v show_v compassion_n to_o he_o and_o get_v clothes_n and_o put_v it_o to_o make_v for_o he_o how_o

it_o on_o his_o back_n to_o cover_v his_o nakedness_n so_o we_o ought_v to_o carry_v our_o eye_n on_o christ_n see_v salvation_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o put_v forth_o both_o our_o hand_n and_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o this_o salvation_n finish_v and_o perfect_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a corruption_n that_o many_o know_v it_o and_o hear_v of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v finish_v but_o they_o so_o attend_v their_o pleasure_n profit_n and_o
look_v for_o as_o they_o have_v trouble_v so_o they_o shall_v have_v deliverance_n out_o of_o it_o as_o paul_n say_v 2_o tim._n 2._o 12._o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o christ_n we_o shall_v also_o

people_n of_o god_n must_v sustain_v themselves_o with_o this_o as_o job_n 14._o where_o he_o say_v all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o appoint_a time_n will_v i_o wait_v till_o my_o change_n come_v their_o

be_v a_o time_n of_o trouble_n so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n of_o mercy_n as_o christ_n have_v these_o two_o time_n so_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v have_v these_o two_o time_n now_o there_o be_v four_o degree_n of_o his_o exaltation_n 1._o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a 2._o his_o ascension_n 3._o his_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n 4._o his_o come_n to_o

first_o exaltation_n the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v needful_a christ_n shall_v rise_v for_o as_o there_o be_v reason_n why_o he_o shall_v suffer_v so_o there_o be_v also_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v rise_v again_o first_o rise_v to_o assure_v we_o that_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v purge_v and_o expiate_v in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o sin_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o commit_v unexpiate_v and_o unreconciled_a the_o guilt_n of_o that_o one_o sin_n will_v have_v hold_v christ_n under_o for_o ever_o for_o paul_n say_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n therefore_o see_v christ_n do_v rise_v again_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a evidence_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o sin_n but_o be_v do_v away_o and_o reconcile_v and_o you_o many_o a_o man_n do_v not_o think_v of_o this_o but_o lie_v in_o a_o number_n of_o sin_n whereas_o we_o see_v that_o one_o sin_n have_v be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v hold_v christ_n under_o death_n for_o ever_o therefore_o say_v paul_n rom._n 8._o 33._o who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_v it_o be_v god_n that_o justify_v who_o shall_v condemn_v and_o again_o in_o chap._n 4._o ult_n he_o say_v christ_n be_v deliver_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o raise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n for_o as_o christ_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n so_o be_v every_o true_a christian_a by_o the_o mean_n of_o christ_n simile_n we_o see_v in_o experience_n that_o a_o man_n be_v cast_v into_o prison_n for_o another_o man_n debt_n have_v chain_n cast_v on_o his_o hand_n and_o fetter_n on_o his_o foot_n if_o the_o party_n see_v a_o little_a while_n after_o the_o chain_n take_v off_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o fetter_n knock_v off_o from_o his_o foot_n himself_o to_o have_v liberty_n to_o walk_v abroad_o he_o may_v sure_o think_v that_o his_o debt_n be_v discharge_v this_o be_v the_o case_n between_o christ_n and_o we_o we_o be_v indebt_v to_o god_n christ_n be_v become_v our_o surety_n he_o be_v take_v and_o cast_v into_o the_o grave_n and_o the_o chain_n of_o death_n be_v cast_v on_o he_o therefore_o when_o a_o little_a while_n after_o christ_n come_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n and_o cast_v off_o the_o chain_n of_o death_n and_o walk_n at_o liberty_n again_o we_o may_v think_v man_n debt_n be_v answer_v we_o reconcile_v god_n pacify_v and_o please_v and_o we_o shall_v not_o answer_v for_o it_o before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o god_n for_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o sin_n unexpiate_v that_o one_o sin_n will_v have_v keep_v christ_n under_o therefore_o in_o that_o christ_n rise_v it_o be_v a_o evidence_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o expiate_v second_o christ_n rise_v to_o apply_v salvation_n for_o he_o do_v purchase_v and_o work_v man_n salvation_n by_o his_o death_n and_o rise_v again_o to_o apply_v it_o for_o though_o salvation_n and_o redemption_n be_v wrought_v by_o his_o death_n and_o purchase_v for_o we_o yet_o unless_o he_o have_v rose_n again_o to_o apply_v it_o we_o can_v have_v have_v no_o benefit_n by_o it_o for_o all_o that_o we_o may_v have_v perish_v as_o joh._n 7._o 39_o it_o be_v say_v the_o spirit_n be_v not_o

till_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o christ_n shall_v rise_v as_o physician_n and_o surgeon_n temper_v a_o great_a many_o of_o plaster_n simile_n and_o then_o send_v their_o servant_n our_o to_z apply_v they_o so_o christ_n have_v temper_v many_o plaster_n with_o his_o blood_n to_o heal_v the_o conscience_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o sin_n and_o he_o send_v

to_o apply_v salvation_n to_o we_o three_o 2._o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o undoubted_a evidence_n to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v rise_v again_o augustine_n say_v that_o which_o go_v before_o in_o the_o

out_o of_o the_o grave_n second_o out_o of_o trouble_n while_o they_o live_v here_o first_o 1_o christ_n will_v raise_v his_o member_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n for_o as_o he_o himself_o rise_v out_o
