the_o daughter_n of_o juda_n as_o in_o a_o winepress_a now_o this_o put_n of_o christ_n enemy_n as_o a_o stool_n under_o his_o foot_n note_n unto_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o christ_n two_o thing_n first_o his_o rest_n and_o second_o his_o triumph_n to_o stand_v in_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n as_o i_o have_v before_o observe_v denote_v ministry_n and_o to_o sit_v rest_v and_o there_o be_v no_o posture_n more_o easy_a than_o to_o sit_v with_o a_o stool_n under_o one_o foot_n till_o christ_n enemy_n then_o be_v all_o under_o his_o foot_n he_o be_v not_o full_o in_o his_o rest._n it_o be_v true_a in_o his_o own_o person_n he_o be_v in_o rest_n he_o have_v finish_v the_o work_n which_o be_v give_v he_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v enter_v into_o his_o rest_n he_o have_v already_o ascend_v up_o on_o high_a and_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a yet_o in_o his_o member_n he_o still_o suffer_v though_o not_o by_o way_n of_o pain_n or_o passion_n yet_o by_o way_n of_o sympathy_n or_o compassion_n he_o be_v touch_v with_o a_o feel_n of_o our_o infirmity_n heb._n 4.15_o as_o by_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o suffer_v 18._o he_o learned_a obedience_n towards_o god_n so_o by_o the_o same_o suffering_n he_o learn_v compassion_n and_o thereupon_o mercy_n and_o fidelity_n towards_o his_o member_n for_o no_o man_n can_v be_v more_o tender_o faithful_a in_o the_o business_n of_o another_o than_o he_o who_o by_o his_o own_o experience_n know_v the_o consequence_n and_o necessity_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v afflict_v in_o all_o the_o affliction_n of_o his_o people_n 1.24_o and_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o saint_n fill_v up_o the_o remainder_n or_o that_o which_o be_v behind_o of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n who_o yet_o of_o himself_o be_v so_o full_a as_o that_o he_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o neither_o do_v the_o church_n serve_v to_o supply_v his_o defect_n but_o to_o magnify_v his_o mercy_n so_o the_o church_n suffering_n be_v esteem_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n although_o his_o be_v of_o themselves_o so_o full_o before_o as_o that_o they_o have_v a_o consummatum_fw-la est_fw-la to_o seal_v up_o both_o their_o measure_n and_o their_o merit_n and_o therefore_o our_o suffering_n be_v call_v his_o not_o by_o way_n of_o addition_n or_o improvement_n unto_o those_o but_o by_o way_n of_o honour_n and_o dignity_n unto_o we_o they_o show_v christ_n compassion_n towards_o we_o and_o our_o union_n and_o conformity_n to_o he_o but_o no_o way_n either_o any_o defect_n of_o virtue_n in_o he_o or_o any_o value_n of_o merit_n in_o we_o or_o any_o ecclesiastical_a treasure_n or_o redundancie_n out_o of_o a_o mixture_n of_o both_o very_o profitable_a they_o be_v for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n but_o very_o base_a and_o unworthy_a for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n very_o profitable_a for_o the_o comfort_n of_o man_n but_o very_o unprofitable_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n so_o then_o though_o christ_n rest_n from_o suffer_v in_o himself_o yet_o not_o in_o his_o saint_n though_o the_o serpent_n can_v come_v to_o the_o head_n yet_o it_o be_v still_o bruise_v of_o his_o heel_n here_o then_o the_o apostle_n inference_n be_v good_a there_o remain_v therefore_o rest_v unto_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o that_o such_o a_o glorious_a rest_n as_o must_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o enemy_n when_o the_o wicked_a perish_v they_o shall_v see_v it_o and_o rejoice_v and_o shall_v wash_v their_o foot_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o their_o adversary_n the_o revenge_n of_o god_n against_o his_o enemy_n be_v such_o as_o shall_v bring_v a_o ease_n with_o it_o ah_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v ease_v i_o of_o my_o adversary_n 66.5_o i_o will_v avenge_v i_o of_o my_o enemy_n isaiah_n 1.24_o this_o be_v the_o comfort_n which_o the_o lord_n give_v his_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v full_a when_o their_o enemy_n shall_v be_v hungry_a and_o that_o he_o will_v appear_v to_o their_o joy_n when_o their_o enemy_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a this_o must_v teach_v wicked_a man_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o persecute_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n for_o they_o therein_o be_v profess_v enemy_n to_o he_o who_o yet_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o worship_n this_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o the_o counsel_n and_o resolution_n which_o be_v make_v against_o the_o subject_n or_o law_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v but_o vain_a imagination_n
