peace_n and_o comfort_n rest_n and_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v have_v such_o therefore_o as_o have_v find_v their_o heart_n affect_v with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n do_v rest_n satisfy_v therewith_o and_o seek_v not_o out_o for_o jesus_n christ_n they_o be_v like_a to_o sit_v down_o without_o christ_n and_o so_o fall_v short_a both_o of_o true_a peace_n here_o and_o of_o salvation_n hereafter_o 7_o other_o bottom_n their_o hope_n of_o salvation_n upon_o their_o partial_a repentance_n i_o mean_v their_o leave_v and_o forsake_v some_o sin_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o witting_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o other_o sin_n which_o in_o truth_n be_v but_o a_o seigned_a and_o hypocritical_a repentance_n like_o that_o of_o herod_n who_o upon_o john_n baptist_n preach_v be_v say_v to_o leave_v many_o sin_n but_o yet_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n part_n with_o his_o herodias_n his_o darling_n and_o belove_a sin_n nay_o though_o your_o repentance_n be_v true_a and_o full_a yet_o if_o you_o stay_v there_o and_o not_o look_v beyond_o it_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v fall_v short_a of_o salvation_n 8_o other_o bottom_n their_o hope_n of_o salvation_n upon_o their_o work_n of_o charity_n think_v to_o purchase_v heaven_n by_o their_o good_a work_n and_o so_o whole_o exclude_v christ_n merit_n which_o they_o ground_n upon_o that_o sentence_n of_o absolution_n pronounce_v by_o our_o saviour_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n unto_o his_o elect_n 34_o wherein_o he_o give_v heaven_n to_o they_o who_o have_v express_v their_o charity_n to_o his_o poor_a member_n in_o feed_v clothing_n they_o and_o the_o like_a whereas_o our_o saviour_n instance_v in_o these_o work_n of_o charity_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o faith_n whereby_o they_o do_v evidence_n their_o faith_n to_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n which_o manifest_v its_o life_n by_o those_o work_n of_o charity_n so_o that_o work_v of_o charity_n in_o themselves_o can_v be_v no_o good_a ground_n to_o bottom_v your_o salvation_n upon_o but_o only_a faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v ever_o accompany_v with_o work_n of_o charity_n if_o true_a and_o sound_a 9_o other_o bottom_n their_o hope_n of_o salvation_n upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n they_o will_v confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v poor_a wretched_a sinful_a creature_n but_o they_o hope_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n will_v pardon_v their_o sin_n and_o accept_v their_o poor_a service_n thus_o many_o make_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o eik_v out_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o so_o both_o put_v together_o they_o think_v will_v be_v a_o mean_n of_o atonement_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n yea_o and_o of_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n but_o such_o do_v wonderful_o mistake_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o god_n mercy_n which_o be_v not_o to_o eik_v out_o our_o righteousness_n but_o to_o show_v we_o our_o unrighteousness_n and_o misery_n and_o then_o to_o show_v we_o jesus_n christ_n the_o perfection_n of_o his_o righteousness_n the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n with_o his_o willingness_n to_o receive_v all_o poor_a sinner_n that_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o then_o to_o stir_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n as_o our_o priest_n prophet_n and_o king_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o for_o life_n and_o for_o salvation_n and_o thus_o may_v i_o go_v on_o show_v you_o the_o many_o false_a and_o rot_a foundation_n upon_o which_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n do_v build_v their_o hope_n of_o salvation_n whereas_o in_o truth_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a true_a solid_a foundation_n whereon_o we_o can_v safe_o build_v the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n 11_o and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n other_o foundation_n can_v no_o man_n lay_v th●●_n that_o be_v lay_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n intimate_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a foundation_n so_o that_o he_o be_v the_o wise_a christian_n that_o build_v his_o hope_n of_o salvation_n only_o upon_o that_o rock_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o so_o i_o pass_v from_o the_o first_o fundamental_a principle_n to_o the_o second_o namely_o ii_o that_o believe_a in_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n as_o of_o partake_v of_o christ_n so_o of_o salvation_n by_o he_o this_o be_v typify_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o israelite_n cure_n of_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n and_o that_o be_v by_o look_v upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n for_o as_o the_o israelite_n by_o look_v upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v perfect_o cure_v of_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n in_o like_a manner_n all_o poor_a sinner_n sensible_a of_o the_o sting_n of_o sin_n by_o look_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n lift_v up_o upon_o the_o cross_n shall_v be_v perfect_o cure_v of_o the_o sting_n of_o their_o sin_n this_o application_n of_o that_o type_n our_o saviour_n himself_o make_v 15_o for_o say_v he_o as_o moses_n lift_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n even_o so_o must_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n so_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n of_o partake_v of_o christ_n and_o of_o salvation_n by_o he_o what_o this_o faith_n be_v which_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o salvation_n by_o he_o i_o have_v former_o show_v in_o the_o direction_n for_o the_o worthy_a receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n how_o shall_v the_o consideration_n hereof_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o labour_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o go_v whole_o out_o of_o yourselves_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o receive_v he_o as_o he_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n mind_v this_o work_n most_o of_o all_o for_o it_o be_v the_o all_o in_o all_o to_o your_o salvation_n and_o yet_o how_o do_v the_o great_a part_n of_o you_o mind_n your_o pleasure_n and_o your_o profit_n more_o than_o this_o can_v they_o give_v you_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n or_o a_o right_n to_o salvation_n why_o then_o shall_v your_o pleasure_n and_o your_o profit_n be_v so_o mind_v and_o seek_v after_o by_o you_o even_o more_o than_o faith_n which_o only_o can_v give_v you_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n and_o a_o right_a unto_o salvation_n in_o and_o through_o he_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v lament_v that_o man_n shall_v so_o much_o mind_n worldly_a thing_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n forget_v spiritual_a thing_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o politic_a for_o their_o body_n and_o so_o foolish_a for_o their_o soul_n that_o they_o shall_v with_o martha_n be_v so_o much_o trouble_v about_o earthly_a thing_n and_o not_o with_o mary_n mind_n this_o one_o thing_n necessary_a but_o resolve_v hence_o forward_o to_o give_v no_o rest_n to_o your_o soul_n till_o you_o have_v attain_v to_o this_o save_a grace_n of_o faith_n the_o mean_v god_n have_v sanctify_v thereunto_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o three_o head_n 1_o the_o remove_n of_o some_o let_n and_o impediment_n 2_o the_o embrace_v of_o some_o truth_n 3_o the_o practise_v of_o some_o duty_n the_o let_n and_o impediment_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n 1_o such_o as_o keep_v natural_a man_n and_o woman_n from_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ._n 2_o such_o as_o keep_v off_o many_o a_o sincere_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n i._o the_o let_v and_o impediment_n that_o keep_v off_o natural_a man_n and_o woman_n from_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v these_o and_o such_o like_a 1_o a_o love_n of_o their_o lust_n for_o this_o man_n general_o know_v that_o as_o dagon_n fall_v down_o before_o the_o ark_n so_o their_o lust_n must_v fall_v down_o before_o jesus_n christ_n they_o know_v that_o when_o christ_n be_v receive_v into_o the_o heart_n by_o faith_n their_o lust_n must_v be_v cast_v out_o for_o christ_n will_v not_o be_v receive_v into_o that_o heart_n which_o be_v full_a of_o base_a and_o sinful_a lust_n now_o man_n lust_n be_v dear_a unto_o they_o and_o very_o unwilling_a they_o be_v to_o part_v with_o they_o they_o have_v as_o lief_o part_v with_o christ_n as_o part_v with_o their_o lust_n 19_o this_o our_o saviour_n intimate_v where_o he_o say_v light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v where_o by_o light_n be_v mean_v principal_o jesus_n christ_n with_o his_o gospel_n and_o by_o darkness_n man_n lust_n which_o they_o prefer_v before_o jesus_n christ_n and_o will_v not_o part_v with_o they_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o christ_n with_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n oh_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o sottish_a as_o to_o prefer_v a_o base_a sinful_a lust_n before_o jesus_n christ_n sure_o that_o man_n

have_v a_o low_a mean_a esteem_n of_o christ_n who_o think_v he_o not_o able_a to_o recompense_v the_o loss_n of_o a_o base_a lust_n 2_o a_o overmuch_o love_v of_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a thing_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o soul_n that_o be_v not_o in_o some_o measure_n divorce_v from_o the_o world_n can_v by_o faith_n embrace_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o her_o husband_n o_o therefore_o let_v it_o be_v your_o daily_a prayer_n and_o earnest_a endeavour_n to_o wean_v your_o heart_n more_o and_o more_o from_o the_o love_n of_o these_o earthly_a thing_n that_o you_o may_v not_o love_v they_o so_o much_o as_o thereby_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o love_v and_o embrace_v of_o jesus_n christ._n 3_o spiritual_a pride_n ground_v upon_o a_o man_n overvalue_a conceit_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o own_o estate_n how_o many_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v with_o the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n that_o they_o be_v rich_a and_o full_a and_o have_v need_n of_o nothing_o when_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v poor_a and_o blind_a and_o naked_a wretched_a and_o miserable_a be_v empty_a of_o all_o grace_n and_o goodness_n yea_o they_o be_v the_o more_o wretched_a and_o miserable_a because_o they_o know_v not_o their_o misery_n and_o so_o see_v no_o need_n no_o necessity_n they_o have_v of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o sad_a condition_n in_o the_o world_n for_o such_o be_v further_a off_o from_o go_v unto_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o he_o therefore_o that_o will_v embrace_v jesus_n christ_n as_o his_o saviour_n must_v come_v with_o a_o empty_a hand_n and_o heart_n receive_v he_o with_o a_o empty_a hand_n of_o faith_n into_o a_o empty_a heart_n empty_v of_o all_o self_n as_o self_n righteousness_n self-worthiness_n self-goodness_n etc._n etc._n ii_o the_o let_n and_o impediment_n that_o keep_v off_o many_o a_o sincere_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n from_o cloze_v with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v these_o and_o such_o like_a 1_o a_o deep_a apprehension_n of_o the_o number_n and_o heinousness_n of_o their_o sin_n for_o the_o removal_n of_o this_o let_v such_o consider_v 1_o that_o the_o more_o and_o great_a their_o sin_n be_v the_o great_a need_n they_o have_v to_o go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o cast_v themselves_o and_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o sin_n upon_o he_o for_o as_o the_o more_o sick_a any_o be_v in_o body_n the_o more_o need_n they_o have_v of_o a_o physician_n so_o the_o more_o sinful_a any_o soul_n be_v the_o more_o sick_a of_o sin_n the_o more_o need_n they_o have_v to_o go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a physician_n of_o the_o soul_n who_o both_o can_v and_o will_v heal_v all_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a disease_n of_o their_o soul_n as_o ready_o as_o he_o heal_v bodily_a disease_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n if_o they_o will_v go_v unto_o he_o 2_o let_v such_o know_v and_o consider_v that_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o number_n and_o heinousness_n of_o their_o sin_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o keep_v they_o from_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o receive_v he_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o forcible_a argument_n to_o drive_v they_o unto_o christ_n 13._o see_v christ_n profess_v he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n where_o by_o sinner_n be_v mean_v such_o as_o be_v true_o sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n and_o thereupon_o all_o such_o sinner_n be_v invite_v to_o come_v un●o_v he_o 28._o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v viz._n with_o the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n aver_v this_o truth_n with_o a_o glorious_a preface_n 15_o this_o be_v a_o faithful_a say_n and_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n viz._n that_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o that_o without_o exception_n of_o sin_n or_o person_n yea_o that_o he_o come_v to_o save_v the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n why_o then_o shall_v the_o apprehension_n of_o thy_o sin_n keep_v thou_o off_o from_o go_v unto_o christ_n and_o rest_v upon_o he_o for_o salvation_n when_o as_o he_o come_v to_o save_v such_o sinner_n as_o thou_o be_v nay_o worser_o even_o the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n 2_o a_o second_o let_v and_o impediment_n be_v a_o doubt_v of_o christ_n willingness_n to_o receive_v they_o if_o they_o shall_v go_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o better_a convince_a such_o of_o christ_n willingness_n to_o receive_v and_o embrace_v all_o poor_a sinner_n that_o will_v but_o go_v unto_o he_o and_o embrace_v he_o with_o the_o arm_n of_o their_o faith_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o three_o ground_n thereof_o 1_o the_o first_o be_v the_o several_a gracious_a invitation_n of_o christ_n to_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o as_o isa._n 55._o 1._o mat._n 11._o 28._o joh._n 7._o 37._o 2_o christ_n willingness_n appear_v in_o that_o he_o have_v institute_v and_o appoint_v his_o minister_n he_o have_v dispatch_v ambassador_n in_o his_o name_n to_o woo_v instruct_v and_o beseech_v man_n to_o come_v in_o unto_o he_o and_o to_o accept_v of_o that_o reconciliation_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n 20._o 3_o christ_n willingness_n do_v appear_v in_o that_o he_o ●oth_v accept_v of_o the_o least_o and_o low_a degree_n of_o faith_n and_o will_v not_o discourage_v the_o weak_a soul_n that_o come_v unto_o he_o 20._o a_o bruise_a reed_n shall_v he_o not_o break_v and_o smoke_a flax_n shall_v he_o not_o quench_v as_o by_o a_o bruise_a need_n be_v there_o mean_v a_o weak_a christian_a so_o by_o smoke_a flax_n such_o a_o one_o as_o have_v corruption_n mix_v with_o grace_n for_o the_o flax_n there_o mention_v be_v the_o weick_a of_o a_o candle_n which_o if_o it_o smoke_n give_v but_o little_a light_n and_o yield_v a_o stink_a savour_n though_o true_a believer_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o they_o may_v be_v such_o yet_o will_v not_o christ_n quench_v that_o little_a light_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o they_o 3_o a_o three_o let_v and_o impediment_n be_v a_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n that_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_o humble_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o do_v not_o find_v their_o heart_n so_o break_v as_o the_o heart_n of_o other_o have_v be_v for_o the_o removal_n of_o this_o i_o desire_v such_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o thing_n 1_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v sufficient_o humble_v and_o break_v for_o his_o sin_n though_o not_o so_o deep_o as_o other_o for_o true_a humiliation_n admit_v of_o degree_n and_o all_o christian_n have_v it_o not_o in_o a_o like_a measure_n and_o therefore_o far_o be_v it_o from_o any_o to_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_o humble_v because_o they_o have_v not_o attain_v to_o such_o a_o measure_n and_o degree_n thereof_o as_o some_o other_o have_v 2_o though_o thou_o be_v not_o so_o deep_o humble_v as_o some_o other_o have_v be_v yet_o if_o thou_o be_v so_o sensible_a of_o thy_o sin_n and_o of_o thy_o misery_n thereby_o that_o thou_o be_v true_o sensible_a of_o the_o need_n and_o necessity_n thou_o have_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v sufficient_a and_o thou_o may_v with_o boldness_n go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n roll_n thyself_o into_o his_o bosom_n and_o cast_v thyself_o into_o his_o arm_n though_o thou_o never_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o the_o bitter_a throw_n and_o sting_a pang_n which_o other_o feel_v in_o their_o new_a birth_n yet_o that_o work_n be_v do_v for_o which_o deep_a humiliation_n be_v require_v namely_o to_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o need_n of_o christ_n and_o thereupon_o to_o long_o after_o he_o thou_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o go_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o as_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o thy_o sin_n here_o so_o for_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n hereafter_o 3_o know_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o at_o present_a so_o deep_o humble_v and_o break_v for_o thy_o sin_n as_o thou_o will_v be_v yet_o thou_o may_v be_v more_o humble_v after_o thy_o believe_a in_o christ._n for_o a_o christian_n sorrow_n and_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n and_o misery_n be_v not_o all_o at_o first_o but_o oftentimes_o it_o be_v more_o and_o great_a after_o a_o cloze_a with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o a_o sensible_a feel_n of_o god_n love_n than_o it_o be_v before_o yea_o the_o le●s_a humiliation_n before_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o more_o many_o time_n follow_v after_o and_o that_o be_v true_a humiliation_n and_o evangelical_n repentance_n which_o follow_v after_o faith_n 4_o another_o let_v and_o impediment_n that_o keep_v off_o many_o a_o sincere_a christian_a from_o go_v unto_o christ_n and_o cloze_v with_o he_o be_v a_o fear_n and_o
