his_o will_n which_o he_o deny_v to_o many_o prophet_n and_o righteous_a man_n who_o desire_v to_o see_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v but_o can_v not_o see_v they_o and_o to_o hear_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o hear_v but_o can_v not_o hear_v they_o there_o be_v good_a man_n in_o the_o world_n under_o those_o imperfect_a revelation_n which_o god_n make_v to_o they_o but_o we_o have_v far_o great_a advantage_n and_o more_o powerful_a argument_n to_o be_v good_a than_o ever_o they_o have_v and_o as_o we_o ought_v thankful_o to_o acknowledge_v these_o bless_a advantage_n so_o ought_v we_o likewise_o with_o the_o great_a care_n and_o diligence_n to_o improve_v they_o and_o now_o how_o do_v the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o this_o condemn_v all_o impenitent_a sinner_n under_o the_o gospel_n who_o will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o persuade_v to_o goodness_n by_o all_o that_o god_n can_v do_v by_o the_o most_o plain_a declaration_n of_o his_o will_n to_o the_o

terror_n of_o the_o great_a day_n and_o the_o vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n by_o the_o wonderful_a and_o amaze_a condescension_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o our_o nature_n by_o his_o merciful_a undertake_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o lose_a and_o sinful_a man_n by_o his_o cruel_a suffering_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o by_o the_o kind_a offer_n of_o pardon_n and_o reconciliation_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o glorious_a hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n what_o can_v god_n have_v do_v more_o for_o we_o than_o he_o have_v do_v what_o great_a concernment_n can_v he_o show_v for_o our_o salvation_n than_o to_o send_v his_o own_o son_n his_o only_a son_n to_o seek_v and_o save_v we_o and_o what_o great_a demonstration_n can_v he_o give_v of_o his_o love_n to_o we_o than_o to_o give_v the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n to_o die_v for_o we_o this_o be_v the_o last_o effort_n that_o the_o divine_a mercy_n and_o goodness_n will_v make_v upon_o mankind_n so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o epistle_n chap._n 1.1_o that_o god_n who_o at_o sundry_a time_n and_o in_o divers_a manner_n speak_v in_o time_n pass_v unto_o the_o father_n by_o the_o prophet_n have_v in_o these_o last_o day_n speak_v to_o we_o by_o his_o son_n and_o if_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o he_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o after_o this_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o he_o shall_v make_v any_o far_a attempt_n for_o our_o recovery_n he_o can_v send_v no_o great_a and_o dear_a person_n to_o we_o than_o his_o own_o son_n if_o we_o despise_v he_o who_o will_v we_o reverence_n if_o we_o reject_v he_o and_o the_o great_a salvation_n which_o he_o bring_v and_o offer_v to_o we_o we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o believe_v that_o our_o case_n be_v desperate_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v die_v in_o our_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o do_v not_o receive_v and_o believe_v on_o he_o who_o god_n have_v send_v and_o if_o we_o who_o profess_v to_o believe_v on_o he_o and_o to_o receive_v his_o doctrine_n be_v find_v disobedient_a to_o it_o in_o our_o life_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v that_o our_o condemnation_n shall_v be_v far_o heavy_a than_o they_o for_o since_o the_o appearance_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n against_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n especial_o against_o those_o who_o detain_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o unrighteousness_n that_o be_v against_o those_o who_o entertain_v the_o light_n of_o god_n truth_n in_o their_o mind_n but_o do_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o have_v its_o proper_a effect_n and_o influence_n upon_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o make_v that_o a_o prisoner_n which_o will_v make_v they_o free_a so_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o truth_n shall_v make_v we_o free_a but_o if_o after_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n we_o be_v still_o the_o servant_n of_o sin_n our_o condemnation_n be_v much_o worse_o than_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v never_o come_v for_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v do_v nothing_o if_o it_o do_v not_o take_v man_n off_o from_o their_o sin_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o live_v well_o especial_o at_o this_o time_n when_o we_o be_v celebrate_v the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n we_o shall_v take_v great_a heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o find_v guilty_a of_o any_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n because_o this_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o main_a design_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n and_o have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n and_o the_o appearance_n whereof_o we_o do_v at_o this_o time_n commemorate_v for_o that_o teach_v man_n to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o godly_o in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o we_o can_v gratify_v the_o devil_n more_o than_o by_o show_v ourselves_o more_o diligent_a than_o ordinary_a to_o uphold_v his_o work_n at_o this_o very_a time_n when_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v on_o purpose_n to_o dissolve_v they_o we_o can_v possible_o choose_v a_o worse_a a_o more_o improper_a season_n to_o sin_n in_o than_o when_o we_o be_v celebrate_v the_o birth_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n who_o come_v to_o save_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n this_o be_v as_o if_o a_o sick_a man_n for_o joy_n that_o a_o famous_a physician_n be_v come_v to_o his_o house_n shall_v run_v into_o all_o manner_n of_o excess_n and_o so_o do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o inflame_v his_o disease_n and_o make_v his_o case_n desperate_a not_o but_o that_o our_o inward_a joy_n may_v lawful_o be_v accompany_v with_o all_o outward_a innocent_a expression_n of_o it_o but_o we_o can_v be_v true_o thankful_a if_o we_o allow_v ourselves_o at_o this_o time_n in_o any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o purity_n and_o sobriety_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v matter_n of_o just_a and_o sad_a complaint_n be_v of_o great_a scandal_n to_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o holy_a religion_n that_o such_o irregular_a and_o extravagant_a thing_n be_v at_o this_o time_n common_o cone_n by_o many_o who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n and_o do_v under_o a_o pretence_n of_o do_v honour_n to_o the_o memory_n of_o christ_n birth_n as_o if_o because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v at_o this_o time_n make_v man_n it_o be_v fit_a for_o man_n to_o make_v themselves_o beast_n if_o we_o will_v honour_v he_o indeed_o we_o must_v take_v care_n that_o our_o joy_n do_v not_o degenerate_a into_o sin_n and_o sensuality_n and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o express_v it_o by_o lewdness_n and_o luxury_n by_o intemperance_n and_o excess_n by_o prodigal_a game_n and_o profuse_a waste_n of_o our_o estate_n as_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o be_v as_o if_o we_o intend_v literal_o to_o

will_v never_o thank_v nor_o reward_v we_o this_o be_v not_o to_o commemorate_v the_o come_v of_o our_o saviour_n but_o to_o contradict_v it_o and_o open_o to_o declare_v that_o we_o will_v uphold_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o despite_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o come_v to_o destroy_v they_o it_o be_v for_o all_o the_o world_n like_o that_o lewd_a and_o senseless_a piece_n of_o

run_v into_o all_o manner_n of_o excess_n for_o twelve_o day_n together_o in_o honour_n of_o our_o saviour_n a_o great_a aggravation_n of_o sin_n can_v easy_o be_v imagine_v than_o to_o abuse_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o great_a blessing_n that_o ever_o be_v christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o take_v away_o sin_n into_o a_o opportunity_n of_o commit_v it_o this_o be_v to_o represent_v the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o a_o patron_n of_o sin_n and_o licentiousness_n and_o to_o treat_v he_o more_o contumelious_o than_o the_o jew_n do_v who_o bow_v the_o knee_n to_o he_o and_o mock_v he_o and_o

think_v the_o inference_n shall_v have_v be_v if_o god_n so_o love_v we_o than_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o love_v he_o but_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o the_o affection_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o love_n and_o his_o meaning_n be_v if_o god_n have_v bestow_v such_o benefit_n upon_o we_o we_o ought_v in_o imitation_n of_o he_o to_o be_v kind_a and_o beneficial_a one_o to_o another_o not_o but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o soul_n and_o strength_n but_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o we_o can_v be_v beneficial_a to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v self-sufficient_a and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o exhort_v man_n to_o love_n god_n but_o one_o another_o no_o man_n have_v see_v god_n at_o any_o time_n he_o be_v not_o sensible_a to_o we_o and_o therefore_o none_o of_o these_o sensible_a thing_n can_v signify_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o but_o he_o have_v friend_n and_o relation_n here_o in_o the_o world_n who_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o sensible_a effect_n of_o our_o love_n and_o to_o who_o we_o may_v show_v kindness_n for_o his_o sake_n we_o can_v be_v beneficial_a to_o god_n but_o we_o may_v testify_v our_o love_n to_o he_o by_o our_o kindness_n and_o charity_n to_o man_n who_o be_v make_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o if_o we_o see_v any_o one_o miserable_a that_o be_v consideration_n enough_o to_o move_v our_o charity_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o this_o in_o we_o to_o move_v he_o to_o pity_n we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o our_o blood_n and_o no_o eye_n pity_v we_o god_n be_v a_o pattern_n of_o the_o most_o generous_a kindness_n and_o charity_n though_o he_o be_v infinite_o above_o we_o yet_o he_o think_v it_o not_o below_o he_o to_o confider_v our_o case_n and_o to_o employ_v his_o only_a son_n to_o save_o we_o he_o have_v no_o obligation_n to_o we_o no_o expectation_n of_o advantage_n from_o we_o and_o can_v never_o be_v in_o a_o possibility_n to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o we_o and_o yet_o he_o love_v we_o and_o have_v confer_v the_o great_a benefit_n upon_o we_o so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v have_v deserve_v so_o ill_o at_o our_o hand_n but_o that_o if_o he_o be_v in_o want_n and_o we_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o help_v he_o he_o ought_v to_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n and_o consideration_n of_o our_o charity_n and_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a season_n for_o it_o when_o we_o commemorate_v the_o great_a blessing_n and_o benefit_n that_o be_v ever_o confer_v on_o mankind_n the_o son_n of_o god_n send_v into_o the_o world_n on_o purpose_n to_o redeem_v and_o save_v we_o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o very_o much_o commend_v the_o custom_n of_o feed_v and_o relieve_v the_o poor_a more_o especial_o at_o this_o time_n when_o the_o poor_a do_v usual_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n of_o it_o and_o when_o we_o commemorate_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v rich_a become_v poor_a for_o our_o sake_n that_o we_o through_o his_o poverty_n may_v be_v make_v rich_a 2._o let_v we_o ready_o comply_v with_o the_o great_a design_n of_o this_o great_a love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n he_o have_v send_v his_o son_n that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o but_o though_o he_o have_v do_v all_o this_o for_o we_o though_o he_o have_v purchase_v so_o great_a blessing_n for_o we_o as_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o power_n against_o they_o and_o eternal_a life_n and_o happiness_n yet_o there_o be_v something_o to_o be_v do_v on_o our_o part_n to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o these_o benefit_n god_n have_v not_o so_o love_v we_o as_o to_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o carry_v man_n to_o heaven_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o and_o to_o rescue_v those_o from_o the_o slavery_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n who_o be_v fond_a of_o their_o fetter_n and_o wilful_o run_v themselves_o upon_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v to_o offer_v happiness_n to_o we_o upon_o certain_a term_n and_o condition_n such_o as_o be_v fit_a for_o god_n to_o propound_v and_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o perform_v to_o make_v we_o capable_a of_o the_o blessedness_n which_o he_o offer_v as_o namely_o repentance_n towards_o god_n and_o faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n a_o sincere_a and_o constant_a endeavour_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o precept_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n these_o be_v the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n offer_v it_o only_o upon_o these_o term_n that_o we_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n then_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o bless_a hope_n but_o if_o we_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o these_o condition_n the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v be_v no_o saviour_n to_o we_o for_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n only_o to_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o if_o man_n will_v continue_v in_o their_o sin_n the_o redemption_n wrought_v by_o christ_n will_v be_v of_o no_o advantage_n to_o they_o such_o as_o obstinate_o persist_v in_o a_o impenitent_a course_n ipsa_fw-la si_fw-la velit_fw-la salus_fw-la seruare_fw-la

to_o we_o because_o god_n send_v they_o by_o his_o son_n this_o be_v the_o last_o effort_n of_o the_o divine_a love_n and_o goodness_n towards_o the_o recovery_n and_o salvation_n of_o man_n so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o heb._n 1.1_o 2._o that_o god_n who_o at_o sundry_a time_n and_o in_o divers_a manner_n speak_v to_o the_o father_n by_o the_o prophet_n have_v in_o these_o last_o day_n speak_v to_o we_o by_o his_o son_n and_o if_o we_o refuse_v to_o hear_v he_o he_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o after_o this_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v any_o far_a attempt_n for_o our_o recovery_n for_o he_o can_v send_v no_o great_a nor_o dear_a person_n to_o we_o than_o he_o own_o son_n and_o if_o we_o refuse_v he_o who_o will_v we_o reverence_v if_o after_o

that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a end_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n which_o we_o be_v now_o go_v to_o receive_v to_o represent_v to_o our_o mind_n the_o
