be_v a_o saviour_n to_o none_o but_o those_o to_o who_o he_o be_v a_o master_n his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o obey_v say_v the_o apostle_n if_o you_o will_v obey_v he_o and_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n if_o you_o make_v he_o your_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o command_n over_o you_o and_o that_o you_o will_v be_v subject_a to_o he_o in_o every_o thing_n if_o you_o take_v he_o upon_o these_o condition_n you_o shall_v have_v he_o as_o a_o saviour_n also_o for_o as_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n so_o you_o must_v know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o david_n and_o rule_v those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o therefore_o i_o say_v you_o must_v not_o only_o take_v he_o as_o a_o priest_n to_o intercede_v for_o you_o to_o petition_v for_o you_o but_o to_o be_v your_o king_n also_o you_o must_v suffer_v he_o to_o rule_v you_o in_o all_o thing_n you_o must_v be_v content_a to_o obey_v all_o his_o commandment_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o take_v christ_n as_o a_o head_n only_o to_o receive_v influence_n and_o comfort_n from_o he_o but_o you_o must_v take_v he_o also_o as_o a_o head_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o he_o as_o the_o member_n be_v rule_v by_o the_o head_n you_o must_v not_o take_v one_o benefit_n alone_o of_o the_o member_n to_o receive_v influence_n from_o the_o head_n but_o you_o must_v be_v content_a also_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n else_o you_o take_v he_o in_o vain_a again_o christ._n this_o must_v be_v mark_v that_o i_o say_v you_o must_v take_v or_o receive_v he_o you_o must_v not_o only_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o that_o he_o be_v offer_v but_o there_o be_v a_o take_n and_o receive_v that_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v you_o partaker_n of_o that_o that_o be_v offer_v those_o word_n john_n 3._o 3._o make_v it_o plain_a god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n etc._n etc._n give_v be_v but_o a_o relative_n it_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o receive_n or_o take_v require_v for_o when_o christ_n be_v give_v unless_o he_o be_v take_v by_o we_o he_o do_v we_o no_o good_a he_o be_v not_o make_v we_o if_o a_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v another_o any_o thing_n unless_o he_o take_v it_o it_o be_v not_o he_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o there_o be_v a_o sufficiency_n in_o christ_n to_o save_v all_o man_n and_o he_o be_v that_o great_a physician_n that_o heal_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n there_o be_v righteousness_n enough_o in_o he_o to_o justify_v all_o the_o world_n but_o my_o belove_a unless_o we_o take_v he_o and_o apply_v he_o to_o ourselves_o we_o can_v have_v no_o part_n in_o that_o righteousness_n this_o be_v plain_o express_v in_o matth._n 22._o where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o king_n send_v forth_o his_o servant_n to_o bid_v man_n to_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o son_n and_o so_o in_o eth._n 5._o the_o same_o similitude_n and_o comparison_n be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n by_o that_o union_n there_o be_v between_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o husband_n shall_v offer_v himself_o to_o a_o woman_n to_o marry_v she_o and_o she_o shall_v believe_v it_o yet_o unless_o there_o be_v a_o take_n of_o he_o on_o her_o part_n the_o match_n be_v not_o make_v and_o so_o it_o be_v ●ere_z and_o in_o this_o thing_n the_o essence_n of_o faith_n consist_v when_o christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o you_o you_o must_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o that_o god_n intend_v it_o real_o but_o it_o be_v the_o take_v that_o consummate_v the_o marriage_n and_o when_o the_o wife_n have_v take_v the_o husband_n than_o all_o that_o be_v his_o be_v she_o she_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o all_o his_o good_n so_o also_o it_o be_v here_o there_o must_v be_v a_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v offer_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o righteousness_n in_o he_o to_o save_v we_o but_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o we_o must_v also_o take_v he_o and_o when_o that_o be_v do_v we_o be_v justify_v than_o we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god._n but_o that_o you_o may_v more_o full_o understand_v what_o this_o faith_n be_v i_o will_v add_v these_o 4._o thing_n more_o faith_n first_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o object_n of_o this_o faith_n second_o the_o subject_n or_o place_n where_o it_o be_v three_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o justify_v us._n four_o the_o action_n of_o it_o it_o i_o say_v that_o you_o may_v more_o full_o understand_v what_o this_o faith_n be_v consider_v first_o the_o object_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v christ_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o and_o herein_o this_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v that_o a_o man_n must_v first_o take_v christ_n himself_o and_o after_o the_o privilege_n that_o come_v by_o he_o and_o this_o point_n i_o can_v wish_v be_v more_o press_v by_o our_o divine_n and_o that_o our_o hearer_n will_v more_o intend_v it_o i_o say_v first_o remember_v that_o you_o must_v first_o take_v christ_n himself_o and_o then_o other_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v by_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v rome_n 8._o if_o god_n have_v give_v we_o he_o that_o be_v christ_n he_o wil●_n with_o he_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n else_o but_o first_o have_v christ_n himself_o and_o then_o all_o thing_n with_o he_o and_o so_o 2_o cor._n 1._o 1._o all_o the_o promise_n in_o he_o be_v yea_o and_o amen_o that_o be_v first_o we_o must_v have_v christ_n and_o then_o look_v to_o the_o promise_n this_o must_v be_v still_o remember_v that_o we_o must_v first_o take_v his_o person_n we_o must_v have_v our_o eye_n fix_v upon_o that_o and_o so_o that_o place_n beforenamed_n joh._n 3._o 3._o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n he_o give_v his_o son_n as_o a_o father_n give_v his_o son_n in_o marriage_n the_o father_n give_v the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n himself_o must_v be_v take_v so_o that_o we_o must_v first_o take_v christ_n we_o must_v fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o he_o for_o faith_n do_v not_o leap_v over_o christ_n and_o pitch_n upon_o the_o promise_n of_o justification_n and_o adoption_n but_o it_o first_o take_v christ_n the_o distinct_a and_o clear_a understand●ning_n of_o this_o will_v help_v we_o much_o in_o apprehend_v and_o understand_v aright_o what_o justify_v faith_n be_v we_o must_v remember_v to_o take_v christ_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o adulterous_a affection_n for_o a_o wife_n not_o to_o think_v of_o the_o person_n of_o her_o husband_n person_n but_o to_o think_v only_o what_o commodity_n she_o shall_v have_v by_o he_o what_o honour_n what_o riches_n what_o convenience_n as_o if_o that_o make_v the_o match_n to_o be_v content_a only_o to_o take_v those_o will_v this_o think_v you_o make_v a_o match_n among_o man_n sure_o no_o there_o must_v be_v a_o fix_v of_o the_o eye_n upon_o the_o person_n that_o must_v do_v it_o do_v you_o love_v he_o be_v you_o content_a to_o forsake_v all_o that_o you_o may_v enjoy_v he_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o you_o shall_v have_v all_o this_o into_o the_o bargain_n but_o first_o you_o must_v have_v the_o person_n of_o your_o husband_n therefore_o remember_v to_o fix_v your_o eye_n upon_o christ_n take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n consider_v his_o beauty_n and_o his_o excellency_n which_o indeed_o be_v motive_n to_o we_o as_o a_o woman_n that_o take_v a_o husband_n be_v encourage_v by_o the_o benefit_n that_o she_o shall_v have_v by_o he_o but_o still_o remember_v that_o he_o himself_o must_v be_v take_v as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o thing_n if_o you_o will_v have_v light_a you_o must_v first_o have_v the_o sun_n if_o you_o will_v have_v strength_n you_o must_v first_o take_v meat_n and_o drink_v before_o you_o can_v have_v that_o benefit_n by_o it_o so_o you_o must_v first_o have_v christ_n himself_o before_o you_o can_v partake_v of_o those_o benefit_n by_o he_o and_o that_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o in_o mar._n 16._o go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n under_o heaven_n 16._o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v that_o be_v he_o that_o will_v believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o he_o be_v offer_v to_o mankind_n for_o a_o saviour_n and_o will_v be_v baptize_v that_o will_v give_v up_o himself_o to_o he_o 16._o that_o will_v take_v his_o mark_n upon_o he_o for_o in_o that_o place_n by_o baptise_v be_v mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o
sense_n it_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o justification_n it_o justify_v we_o as_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n sin_n and_o that_o not_o by_o alter_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v by_o make_v sin_n to_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o by_o take_v away_o the_o efficacy_n of_o sin_n note_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v sin_n faith_n do_v not_o make_v his_o sin_n to_o be_v no_o sin_n indeed_o it_o scatter_v they_o as_o a_o cloud_n you_o may_v consider_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n first_o it_o can_v be_v that_o that_o sin_n that_o be_v once_o commit_v shall_v be_v make_v to_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o what_o be_v once_o do_v it_o can_v be_v undo_v god_n himself_o can_v do_v that_o because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v for_o when_o the_o sin_n be_v commit_v they_o do_v remain_v so_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o can_v be_v that_o that_o which_o be_v sin_n shall_v be_v make_v to_o be_v no_o sin_n we_o can_v make_v adultery_n to_o be_v no_o adultery_n for_o the_o nature_n and_o essence_n of_o the_o thing_n must_v remain_v well_o now_o what_o do_v faith_n it_o do_v this_o though_o the_o sin_n be_v the_o same_o that_o it_o be_v yet_o it_o take_v away_o the_o sting_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n by_o which_o it_o put_v we_o into_o the_o state_n of_o condemnation_n and_o by_o which_o it_o bind_v we_o over_o to_o punishment_n as_o the_o lion_n to_o which_o daniel_n be_v cast_v they_o be_v the_o same_o as_o they_o be_v before_o they_o have_v the_o same_o propensenesse_n and_o disposition_n to_o devour_v as_o they_o have_v before_o they_o have_v the_o ordinary_a nature_n of_o lion_n but_o at_o that_o time_n god_n take_v away_o from_o they_o that_o fierceness_n that_o be_v in_o they_o so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o devour_v he_o though_o they_o be_v there_o still_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o condemn_v we_o but_o now_o when_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o this_o efficacy_n from_o it_o it_o do_v not_o condemn_v and_o this_o be_v that_o that_o faith_n do_v even_o as_o the_o viper_n that_o be_v upon_o paul_n hand_n though_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v to_o kill_v present_o yet_o when_o god_n have_v charm_v it_o you_o see_v it_o hurt_v he_o not_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n though_o it_o be_v in_o we_o and_o though_o it_o hang_v upon_o we_o yet_o the_o venom_n of_o it_o be_v take_v away_o it_o hurt_v we_o not_o it_o condemn_v we_o not_o thus_o faith_n by_o take_v away_o the_o efficacy_n and_o power_n of_o sin_n it_o justify_v we_o as_o a_o instrument_n as_o a_o hand_n that_o take_v the_o pardon_n the_o king_n when_o he_o pardon_v a_o traitor_n he_o do_v not_o make_v his_o treason_n to_o be_v no_o treason_n for_o the_o act_n of_o the_o treason_n remain_v still_o but_o the_o take_n of_o the_o pardon_n make_v the_o traitor_n not_o to_o be_v under_o condemnation_n so_o my_o beloved_a faith_n be_v that_o act_n that_o take_v the_o pardon_n from_o god_n so_o that_o though_o the_o sin_n remain_v the_o same_o and_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v of_o power_n to_o bind_v we_o over_o to_o death_n yet_o by_o this_o faith_n take_v the_o pardon_n from_o god_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o hurt_v we_o not_o we_o be_v not_o condemn_v for_o it_o you_o know_v debt_n in_o a_o man_n book_n the_o writing_n remain_v still_o the_o line_n be_v not_o blot_v out_o yet_o when_o they_o be_v once_o cross_v the_o creditor_n can_v come_v and_o ask_v his_o debt_n any_o more_o because_o it_o be_v cross_v so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o same_o after_o we_o be_v justify_v as_o they_o be_v before_o but_o faith_n be_v that_o that_o cross_v the_o book_n faith_n i_o say_v by_o apprehend_v the_o pardon_n and_o take_v the_o acquittance_n at_o god_n hand_n that_o he_o offer_v i●_n a_o man_n have_v anacquittance_n although_o the_o debt_n remain_v the_o same_o in_o the_o book_n yet_o there_o can_v no_o more_o be_v require_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o have_v take_v the_o acquittance_n thus_o i_o say_v faith_n justify_v we_o as_o a_o instrument_n by_o accept_v receive_v and_o take_v the_o acquittance_n that_o god_n have_v give_v to_o we_o through_o christ._n faith_n let_v i_o add_v one_o word_n more_o of_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v what_o be_v the_o act_n of_o this_o faith_n they_o be_v these_o three_o first_o to_o reconcile_v or_o to_o justify_v second_o to_o pacify_v the_o heart_n three_o to_o purify_v or_o sanctify_v us._n the_o first_o thing_n that_o faith_n do_v be_v to_o reconcile_v that_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v pitch_v upon_o christ_n we_o take_v he_o first_o and_o then_o we_o take_v the_o privilege_n they_o all_o follow_v upon_o it_o forgiveness_n and_o adoption_n this_o be_v the_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o christ_n himself_o and_o upon_o this_o we_o have_v boldness_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o forgiveness_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n to_o make_v we_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o after_o this_o manner_n faith_n do_v it_o all_o thing_n be_v you_o whether_o paul_n or_o apollo_n etc._n etc._n and_o why_o because_o you_o be_v christ_n mark_v it_o you_o must_v first_o be_v christ_n that_o be_v even_o as_o the_o wife_n be_v the_o husband_n be_v so_o you_o must_v be_v knit_v and_o unite_v to_o christ_n and_o then_o all_o thing_n be_v you_o so_o that_o faith_n first_o make_v we_o christ_n it_o reconcile_v we_o to_o he_o and_o make_v we_o one_o with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o one_o with_o god_n the_o father_n and_o then_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o and_o make_v we_o heart_n the_o second_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o quiet_a and_o pacify_v the_o heart_n to_o comfort_v we_o in_o assure_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n be_v forgive_v and_o this_o be_v different_a from_o the_o former_a there_o be_v two_o act_n of_o faith_n the_o one_o be_v the_o direct_a act_n by_o which_o we_o apprehend_v and_o take_v christ_n faith_n and_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v offer_v through_o he_o by_o which_o we_o take_v forgiveness_n and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o reflect_v act_n by_o which_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v take_v christ_n and_o have_v take_v out_o our_o pardon_n and_o this_o act_n be_v very_o different_a from_o the_o former_a we_o may_v have_v the_o former_a without_o this_o we_o common_o think_v that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o christ_n unless_o we_o have_v assurance_n of_o it_o and_o when_o we_o look_v for_o that_o and_o find_v it_o not_o present_o all_o our_o hope_n be_v go_v but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o it_o be_v one_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o take_v christ_n and_o another_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o comfort_n and_o pacify_v the_o heart_n and_o that_o these_o be_v two_o distinct_a thing_n consider_v but_o this_o in_o a_o word_n the_o first_o act_n be_v constant_a they_o when_o a_o man_n have_v once_o take_v and_o accept_v of_o christ_n he_o be_v always_o he_o after_o we_o once_o have_v christ_n there_o be_v no_o divorce_n but_o the_o other_o act_n of_o assurance_n whereby_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v take_v he_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o may_v fail_v and_o deceive_v a_o man_n again_o the_o first_o act_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v always_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v once_o marry_v to_o he_o marriage_n you_o know_v admit_v of_o no_o degree_n so_o justification_n be_v equal_a to_o every_o man_n it_o admit_v of_o no_o degree_n it_o be_v always_o the_o same_o we_o be_v not_o now_o less_o justify_v and_o then_o more_o but_o we_o be_v always_o alike_o justify_v be_v once_o justify_v but_o the_o other_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o i_o have_v take_v christ_n that_o admit_v of_o degree_n a_o man_n may_v have_v sometime_o more_o comfort_n sometime_o less_o and_o therefore_o righteousness_n be_v say_v here_o to_o be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n last_o the_o first_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o we_o take_v christ_n and_o those_o privilege_n by_o he_o as_o the_o wife_n take_v the_o husband_n that_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o sure_a word_n of_o god_n god_n have_v tender_v it_o to_o we_o upon_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n and_o he_o must_v perform_v it_o it_o can_v be_v alter_v nor_o change_v he_o that_o build_v upon_o it_o build_v upon_o

that_o go_v for_o true_a faith_n which_o if_o it_o be_v examine_v be_v not_o a_o faith_n that_o save_v we_o see_v through_o the_o scripture_n much_o mention_n make_v of_o a_o certain_a faith_n which_o

that_o be_v not_o effectual_a and_o therefore_o we_o have_v the_o more_o need_n to_o look_v to_o it_o because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o false_a faith_n in_o the_o world_n as_o when_o you_o that_o

for_o what_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o christianity_n and_o morality_n and_o without_o this_o what_o be_v our_o preach_n we_o may_v gather_v wellnear_o as_o good_a instruction_n to_o resist_v

when_o there_o be_v more_o thing_n reveal_v to_o they_o and_o i_o take_v it_o this_o place_n will_v carry_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n that_o

christ_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n they_o have_v a_o degree_n of_o faith_n but_o when_o christ_n ascend_v then_o there_o be_v more_o revelation_n than_o they_o grow_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n because_o they_o grow_v from_o revelation_n to_o revelation_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v send_v into_o their_o heart_n to_o reveal_v all_o thing_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n you_o know_v they_o have_v abundance_n of_o revelation_n afterward_o so_o in_o this_o regard_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n faith_n receive_v degree_n not_o because_o the_o habit_n be_v

a_o true_a habit_n and_o as_o true_a a_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o though_o a_o man_n be_v more_o conversant_a in_o scripture_n and_o know_v more_o than_o they_o he_o have_v more_o revelation_n

neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n or_o uncircumcision_n that_o be_v neither_o the_o keep_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n or_o the_o omission_n of_o it_o nor_o the_o

it_o then_o nothing_o say_v he_o but_o only_a faith_n now_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v mistake_v in_o this_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v require_v nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n but_o a_o empty_a idle_a
