this_o vii_o seven_o it_o be_v call_v a_o great_a salvation_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o it_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o greatness_n as_o to_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o how_o great_a thing_n it_o do_v effectuate_v and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o great_a salvation_n will_v you_o know_v who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n it_o be_v christ._n hebr._n 5._o 9_o he_o become_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o all_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o and_o must_v not_o this_o salvation_n be_v

shall_v speak_v for_o clear_v of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o viz._n how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o this_o eternal_a salvation_n we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o word_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o great_a salvation_n be_v never_o preach_v before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o we_o think_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n may_v be_v one_o of_o these_o three_o if_o not_o all_o of_o they_o i._n first_o that_o all_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n under_o the_o law_n do_v come_v very_o far_o short_a in_o the_o point_n of_o fullness_n in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n preach_v of_o it_o therefore_o be_v christ_n say_v to_o be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o know_v adam_n he_o preach_v of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o enoch_n he_o preach_v of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o the_o twelve_o patriarch_n they_o preach_v of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o all_o the_o prophet_n who_o go_v before_o christ_n and_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n they_o preach_v of_o this_o great_a salvation_n but_o all_o their_o preach_n deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o preach_v in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n for_o never_o man_n speak_v as_o he_o speak_v thus_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o great_a preacher_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n ii_o second_o this_o may_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o clear_a way_n of_o preach_v of_o it_o for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o it_o without_o type_n and_o shadow_n he_o be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o it_o clear_o and_o full_o with_o so_o much_o demonstration_n and_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n iii_o three_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n may_v relate_v to_o his_o appear_v to_o adam_n in_o paradise_n when_o he_o become_v the_o first_o and_o great_a preacher_n of_o this_o salvation_n when_o he_o do_v speak_v that_o word_n unto_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v tread_v down_o the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n the_o first_o glorious_a preach_v of_o this_o great_a salvation_n be_v when_o christ_n preach_v to_o adam_n in_o paradise_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o and_o glorious_a morning_n of_o this_o bless_a gospel_n now_o we_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o six_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v observe_v from_o these_o word_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v many_o within_o the_o visible_a church_n who_o be_v neglecter_n and_o slighter_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n do_v you_o not_o all_o take_v with_o it_o it_o be_v clear_a matth._n 23_o towards_o the_o close_a and_o chap._n 20._o 5._o where_o those_o person_n be_v invite_v to_o come_v to_o the_o marriage_n or_o feast_v of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v say_v of_o they_o they_o make_v light_a of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o same_o word_n in_o our_o text_n and_o luke_n 14._o 18._o when_o they_o be_v invite_v to_o come_v it_o be_v say_v they_o all_o with_o one_o consent_n begin_v to_o make_v their_o excuse_n and_o isa._n 28._o 2._o this_o be_v the_o rest_n wherewith_o you_o shall_v make_v the_o weary_a to_o rest_v this_o be_v the_o refresh_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v now_o be_v there_o a_o person_n here_o who_o dare_v deny_v this_o charge_n that_o he_o be_v a_o slight_a of_o this_o great_a salvation_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o afraid_a that_o you_o will_v not_o take_v with_o it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v propose_v eight_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o be_v slighter_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o i_o charge_v you_o as_o you_o will_v answer_v to_o god_n one_o day_n that_o you_o search_v your_o heart_n whether_o you_o be_v among_o the_o number_n in_o the_o catalogue_n of_o the_o slighter_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n i._o the_o first_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o be_v slighter_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n be_v those_o person_n who_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v that_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o think_v they_o may_v win_v to_o heaven_n by_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o will_v not_o take_v the_o gospel_n way_n of_o travel_v to_o heaven_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o sure_o there_o be_v not_o a_o person_n here_o who_o have_v not_o that_o curse_a inclination_n to_o be_v as_o little_o oblige_v to_o

it_o and_o this_o exhortation_n he_o press_v by_o two_o argument_n the_o first_o argument_n be_v in_o the_o second_o verse_n where_o he_o say_v if_o the_o word_n speak_v by_o angel_n be_v steadfast_a and_o every_o transgression_n and_o disobedience_n receive_v a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v if_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v deliver_v but_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n and_o every_o disobedience_n to_o it_o be_v so_o severe_o punish_v let_v that_o provoke_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o transgress_v not_o the_o precious_a gospel_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o the_o second_o argument_n be_v in_o the_o word_n which_o we_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o and_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o certain_a and_o infallible_a stroke_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v come_v upon_o those_o who_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n it_o be_v impossible_a say_v he_o that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o city_n of_o refuge_n for_o those_o who_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n now_o in_o the_o word_n which_o we_o have_v read_v there_o be_v these_o six_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v i._n first_o that_o be_v a_o evil_a incident_a to_o the_o hearer_n of_o this_o precious_a gospel_n and_o great_a salvation_n to_o slight_a and_o undervalue_v it_o this_o be_v clear_o presuppose_v in_o the_o word_n otherwise_o there_o have_v be_v no_o ground_n or_o access_n for_o the_o apostle_n to_o threaten_v so_o terrible_a thing_n against_o the_o slighter_n of_o it_o ii_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o word_n be_v that_o the_o stroke_n and_o ruin_n of_o those_o who_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n be_v certain_a and_o infallable_n it_o will_v sure_o come_v upon_o they_o this_o be_v clear_a from_o those_o word_n how_o shall_v we_o escape_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v there_o be_v no_o imaginable_a way_n for_o we_o to_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v this_o so_o great_a salvation_n we_o may_v have_v a_o city_n of_o refuge_n when_o we_o be_v pursue_v by_o the_o law_n or_o when_o we_o be_v pursue_v other_o way_n by_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o if_o once_o we_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n there_o remain_v no_o city_n of_o refuge_n no_o door_n of_o escape_n leave_v open_a unto_o we_o for_o where_o will_v the_o person_n flee_v that_o slight_v this_o great_a salvation_n iii_o there_o be_v this_o three_o thing_n whereof_o we_o shall_v take_v notice_n from_o the_o word_n that_o the_o stroke_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n come_v just_o upon_o they_o who_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n and_o true_o it_o be_v a_o most_o equal_a and_o reasonable_a stroke_n which_o be_v also_o clear_a from_o the_o word_n how_o shall_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n where_o he_o put_v it_o home_o to_o their_o conscience_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v think_v you_o not_o that_o it_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a that_o if_o you_o slight_a the_o great_a salvation_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o door_n of_o escape_n leave_v open_a unto_o you_o he_o put_v the_o question_n home_o to_o their_o conscience_n to_o answer_v yea_o or_o no._n iv._o the_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o slight_v this_o great_a salvation_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o have_v many_o aggravation_n which_o attend_v and_o wait_v upon_o it_o and_o it_o have_v two_o great_a aggravation_n from_o the_o word_n which_o i_o have_v read_v the_o first_o great_a aggravation_n in_o that_o word_n of_o the_o text_n graet_fw-la salvation_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o great_a salvation_n you_o may_v have_v some_o cloak_n or_o excuse_v for_o your_o slight_n of_o it_o but_o see_v it_o be_v such_o a_o great_a and_o external_a salvation_n there_o be_v now_o no_o cloak_n leave_v for_o your_o sin_n the_o second_o aggravation_n be_v from_o the_o certainty_n of_o this_o salvation_n in_o these_o word_n which_o at_o first_o begin_v to_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o viz._n his_o apostle_n whereby_o he_o tell_v they_o this_o great_a salvation_n be_v no_o notion_n nor_o fancy_n but_o a_o most_o certain_a sure_a and_o real_a salvation_n which_o yet_o they_o flight_n v._o the_o five_o thing_n whereof_o we_o shall_v take_v notice_n from_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o person_n be_v who_o they_o will_v minister_n or_o people_n who_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n that_o shall_v have_v a_o door_n of_o escape_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n put_v himself_o among_o the_o rest_n say_v how_o shall_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n that_o be_v how_o shall_v i_o paul_n escape_v if_o i_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n and_o so_o frustrate_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n vi_o sixthly_a we_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o this_o from_o the_o word_n that_o not_o only_o heart-dispising_a of_o this_o great_a salvation_n but_o even_o also_o the_o very_a neglect_v of_o it_o have_v a_o certain_a infallible_a and_o unspeakable_a ruin_n attend_v upon_o it_o now_o before_o we_o begin_v to_o speak_v to_o any_o of_o these_o six_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v observe_v from_o these_o word_n there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n whereunto_o we_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a for_o clear_v of_o the_o word_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v here_o by_o great_a salvation_n second_o how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o it_o first_o we_o conceive_v that_o by_o the_o great_a salvation_n be_v understand_v the_o gospel_n as_o be_v clear_a ephes._n 1._o 13._o where_o it_o be_v call_v the_o gospel_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o act_n 13._o 26._o it_o be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o this_o salvation_n so_o that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o this_o salvation_n be_v understand_v the_o gosgel_n and_o those_o precious_a offer_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o we_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v call_v a_o great_a salvation_n in_o these_o eight_o respect_n i._n first_o it_o be_v call_v the_o great_a salvation_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o price_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o for_o it_o there_o be_v no_o less_o price_n lay_v down_o to_o purchase_v this_o great_a salvation_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n from_o whence_o then_o do_v salvation_n flow_v unto_o you_o it_o come_v run_v to_o you_o in_o a_o stream_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v clear_a heb._n 9_o 12._o neither_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n and_o calf_n 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 ii_o second_o it_o be_v call_v a_o great_a salvation_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o many_o difficulty_n and_o opposition_n which_o lie_v in_o the_o way_n of_o bring_v it_o about_o what_o great_a impediment_n suppose_v you_o lie_v in_o christ_n way_n before_o he_o can_v accomplish_v and_o bring_v about_o this_o great_a salvation_n be_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o be_v satisfy_v be_v he_o not_o to_o die_v and_o to_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o one_o of_o we_o be_v he_o not_o to_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n and_o be_v he_o not_o to_o bear_v the_o torment_n of_o hell_n before_o this_o great_a salvation_n can_v be_v accomplish_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v there_o be_v such_o impediment_n in_o the_o way_n of_o bring_v about_o this_o great_a salvation_n that_o if_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n have_v be_v set_v to_o work_v they_o have_v be_v all_o crush_v under_o it_o have_v it_o be_v but_o that_o one_o great_a impediment_n to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n and_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n even_o that_o be_v a_o pass_n through_o which_o none_o can_v go_v but_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v so_o guard_v that_o none_o dare_v to_o adventure_v to_o enter_v it_o much_o less_o can_v any_o win_v through_o it_o save_v he_o only_o who_o be_v mighty_a to_o save_v iii_o three_o it_o be_v call_v a_o great_a salvation_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o high_a estimation_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v of_o it_o o_o what_o a_o high_a estimation_n have_v the_o saint_n of_o this_o gospel_n salvation_n there_o be_v no_o mercy_n which_o they_o think_v comparable_a to_o this_o all_o
