A85434	Encouragements to faith Drawn from severall engagements both of Gods Christs heart to receive pardon sinners. By Tho: Goodwin, B.D.	Goodwin, Thomas, 1600-1680.	1645 (1645)	Wing G1242; Thomason E307_18; ESTC R200346	23,699	38

christ_n have_v full_o perform_v what_o he_o send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n for_o and_o from_o either_o may_v be_v fetch_v strong_a consolation_n and_o confirmation_n to_o our_o faith_n that_o god_n will_n must_v needs_o continue_v most_o serious_a and_o hearty_a to_o save_v sinner_n many_o other_o sort_n of_o demonstration_n of_o this_o point_n may_v be_v fetch_v and_o draw_v from_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n lie_v by_o he_o to_o bestow_v on_o some_o great_a purchase_n and_o on_o what_o great_a purchase_n can_v they_o be_v bestow_v to_o show_v forth_o the_o glory_n thereof_o then_o upon_o the_o salvation_n and_o pardon_n of_o sinner_n but_o these_o also_o i_o shall_v at_o the_o present_a let_v lie_v by_o untold_a have_v elsewhere_o count_v they_o up_o and_o set_v they_o forth_o such_o demonstration_n be_v only_o proper_a to_o this_o text_n as_o argue_v a_o engagement_n of_o his_o will_n whereas_o all_o those_o riches_n of_o mercy_n that_o be_v in_o he_o although_o the_o move_a cause_n of_o all_o may_v have_v for_o ever_o remain_v in_o he_o as_o his_o nature_n without_o any_o determination_n of_o his_o will_n to_o save_v any_o man_n when_o therefore_o a_o poor_a sinner_n shall_v hear_v beside_o the_o merciful_a disposition_n of_o god_n nature_n that_o act_n and_o resolution_n of_o his_o will_n have_v past_a from_o he_o about_o the_o pardon_n of_o sinner_n so_o as_o his_o will_n have_v engage_v all_o the_o mercy_n of_o his_o nature_n to_o effect_v it_o this_o bring_v in_o strong_a consolation_n now_o the_o deepness_n of_o these_o engagement_n of_o his_o will_n to_o pardon_v sinner_n may_v be_v demonstrate_v 1._o from_o such_o transaction_n of_o his_o as_o be_v hold_v by_o he_o with_o christ_n from_o everlasting_a which_o have_v both_o put_v strong_a obligation_n upon_o he_o and_o also_o argue_v he_o full_o and_o firm_o resolve_v to_o save_v sinner_n now_o all_o the_o particular_a passage_n of_o those_o treaty_n of_o his_o with_o christ_n about_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o sinner_n from_o everlasting_a i_o have_v elsewhere_o also_o at_o large_a handle_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o my_o scope_n now_o to_o enumerate_v they_o i_o shall_v now_o only_o draw_v demonstration_n from_o some_o few_o of_o they_o by_o way_n of_o corollary_n to_o help_v our_o faith_n in_o this_o point_n in_o hand_n namely_o god_n resolvedness_n to_o pardon_v sinner_n the_o first_o be_v draw_v from_o this_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a hand_n in_o this_o matter_n of_o save_a sinner_n as_o i_o then_o show_v the_o project_n be_v he_o and_o the_o first_o motion_n his_o 1._o the_o project_n he_o lay_v the_o plot_n of_o it_o and_o contrive_v all_o about_o it_o for_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o therefore_o john_n 5._o 19_o christ_n say_v the_o son_n can_v do_v nothing_o of_o himself_o but_o what_o he_o see_v the_o father_n do_v 2._o the_o first_o motion_n be_v he_o i_o come_v not_o to_o do_v my_o own_o will_n say_v christ_n but_o the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v he_o both_o which_o project_n and_o first_o motion_n be_v shut_v up_o in_o that_o one_o sentence_n ephes._n 1._o he_o work_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n now_o for_o god_n thus_o to_o have_v the_o first_o hand_n in_o it_o do_v put_v a_o great_a and_o deep_a engagement_n upon_o his_o will_n in_o it_o we_o see_v among_o man_n the_o projector_n and_o first_o motioner_n of_o a_o business_n be_v always_o most_o forward_o in_o it_o because_o than_o it_o be_v most_o peculiar_o his_o own_o and_o the_o great_a will_v be_v his_o honour_n in_o the_o compass_n of_o it_o how_o many_o great_a affair_n have_v be_v spoil_v because_o some_o man_n have_v not_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o first_o in_o they_o that_o affect_v the_o pre-eminence_n now_o this_o honour_n god_n the_o father_n may_v challenge_v that_o he_o be_v the_o first_o in_o reconcile_n and_o save_v sinner_n it_o be_v therefore_o call_v god_n

alter_v his_o purpose_n because_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o will_v god_n think_v you_o alter_v they_o who_o give_v the_o gospel_n no_o it_o be_v the_o eat_v awl_n gospel_n revel_n 14._o 6._o and_o god_n be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n still_o so_o it_o follow_v in_o that_o place_n to_o the_o corinth_n but_o as_o god_n be_v true_a or_o vary_v not_o so_o be_v our_o word_n to_o you_o which_o yet_o be_v his_o more_o than_o paul_n etc._n etc._n 2._o for_o god_n decree_n whereof_o this_o be_v one_o they_o be_v also_o immutable_a the_o great_a monarch_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o persian_n take_v to_o themselves_o the_o infallibility_n that_o they_o will_v not_o alter_v the_o decree_n which_o they_o make_v therefore_o when_o a_o thing_n be_v unalterable_a it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mede_n and_o persian_n which_o be_v to_o show_v their_o greatness_n and_o their_o wisdom_n that_o they_o can_v so_o resolve_v as_o no_o person_n or_o power_n whatsoever_o shall_v be_v strong_a enough_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o change_v their_o resolution_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v force_v though_o not_o to_o alter_v a_o former_a decree_n yet_o to_o give_v countermand_v unto_o it_o as_o ahasuerus_n do_v and_o man_n do_v alter_v because_o they_o can_v foresee_v all_o event_n and_o so_o can_v make_v unalterable_a decree_n without_o prejudice_n therefore_o the_o pope_n who_o take_v on_o he_o the_o style_n of_o infallible_a and_o so_o assume_v to_o himself_o the_o high_a prerogative_n that_o ever_o man_n do_v yet_o of_o he_o it_o be_v say_v papa_fw-la nunquam_fw-la l●gat_fw-la sibi_fw-la manus_fw-la that_o he_o never_o bind_v his_o own_o hand_n by_o any_o decree_n he_o make_v because_o he_o can_v fore_o see_v all_o inconvenience_n notwithstanding_o what_o ever_o he_o assume_v but_o with_o god_n it_o be_v not_o thus_o he_o be_v not_o a_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v cause_n to_o repent_v for_o he_o know_v and_o foresee_v all_o that_o can_v or_o will_v follow_v now_o 1._o this_o immutability_n of_o his_o counsel_n he_o show_v by_o two_o oath_n the_o first_o make_v to_o christ_n the_o second_o to_o we_o 1._o to_o christ_n heb._n 7._o 21._o this_o

be_v from_o everlasting_a for_o than_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v first_o make_v priest_n now_o than_o god_n foresee_v that_o he_o can_v never_o have_v a_o relent_a thought_n at_o the_o pardon_n of_o sinner_n through_o he_o this_o his_o son_n will_v so_o satisfy_v and_o please_v he_o and_o thereupon_o he_o swear_v 2._o to_o we_o heb._n 6._o 17_o 18._o god_n will_v more_o abundant_o to_o

mention_v as_o that_o now_o which_o make_v god_n so_o immutable_a though_o that_o be_v a_o truth_n but_o god_n oath_n be_v here_o make_v that_o whereby_o god_n do_v declare_v unto_o we_o the_o immutability_n of_o his_o purpose_n former_o and_o from_o everlasting_a take_v up_o and_o so_o that_o immutability_n of_o his_o counsel_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o oath_n and_o that_o be_v to_o pardon_v sinner_n for_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n that_o be_v there_o specify_v yea_o 3._o god_n set_v his_o seal_n unto_o all_o further_o to_o confirm_v it_o

be_v equal_a so_o in_o all_o that_o his_o father_n will_v his_o will_n be_v equal_a with_o his_o father_n and_o so_o be_v as_o much_o in_o this_o business_n as_o he_o in_o the_o demonstrate_n of_o this_o i_o will_v take_v the_o same_o course_n that_o i_o do_v in_o the_o former_a first_o i_o will_v show_v how_o hearty_o he_o be_v in_o this_o to_o have_v sinner_n save_v before_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o second_o how_o willing_a he_o be_v since_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o since_o his_o death_n and_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o as_o a_o general_a introduction_n to_o either_o i_o shall_v premise_v this_o which_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o corner_n stone_n in_o this_o building_n join_v both_o part_n of_o this_o discourse_n together_o and_o be_v a_o consequent_a of_o what_o have_v former_o be_v deliver_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v premise_v be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n the_o father_n be_v willing_a than_o jesus_n christ_n must_v needs_o be_v willing_a also_o and_o look_v how_o much_o the_o will_n of_o the_o one_o be_v in_o it_o so_o much_o the_o will_n of_o the_o other_o must_v be_v in_o it_o also_o for_o the_o father_n and_o he_o be_v all_o one_o and_o this_o will_v serve_v for_o our_o further_a assurance_n of_o the_o will_n of_o either_o and_o we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o it_o both_o way_n either_o to_o argue_v to_o our_o faith_n that_o if_o the_o father_n be_v willing_a christ_n must_v needs_o be_v so_o also_o and_o that_o if_o christ_n be_v willing_a the_o father_n be_v so_o also_o that_o whereas_o some_o man_n thought_n have_v be_v more_o take_v up_o about_o and_o so_o more_o take_v with_o the_o consideration_n of_o how_o much_o the_o father_n heart_n be_v in_o it_o and_o how_o active_a and_o plot_v he_o be_v about_o it_o and_o again_o other_o man_n apprehension_n have_v be_v carry_v more_o unto_o christ_n heart_n in_o the_o work_n this_o demonstration_n which_o i_o have_v in_o hand_n shall_v be_v a_o help_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o either_o of_o these_o so_o that_o if_o your_o heart_n have_v a_o door_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v set_v open_a or_o a_o window_n to_o see_v either_o into_o god_n heart_n or_o christ_n you_o may_v raise_v a_o confidence_n of_o the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v sure_a of_o both_o and_o this_o also_o i_o do_v first_o mention_v because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o intrinsical_a bottom-demonstration_n that_o can_v be_v make_v of_o christ_n willingness_n and_o be_v the_o utmost_a reason_n of_o it_o this_o demonstration_n i_o find_v upon_o joh._n 10._o 30._o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o that_o whereas_o in_o this_o my_o text_n he_o show_v how_o his_o father_n will_n and_o his_o agree_v in_o one_o he_o there_o give_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o say_v he_o we_o be_v one_o and_o the_o word_n there_o as_o they_o stand_v in_o their_o coherence_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o purpose_n in_o hand_n for_o christ_n there_o allege_v they_o as_o the_o reason_n why_o his_o heart_n and_o power_n and_o all_o in_o he_o be_v so_o engage_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o own_o that_o if_o he_o have_v any_o power_n in_o he_o and_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n not_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v perish_v because_o his_o father_n and_o he_o be_v one_o for_o mark_v the_o occasion_n upon_o which_o he_o speak_v this_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o here_o in_o my_o text_n he_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o save_v his_o sheep_n and_o of_o his_o power_n and_o will_n to_o save_v they_o and_o conclude_v that_o they_o shall_v never_o perish_v and_o he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o he_o will_v never_o cast_v they_o out_o as_o here_o but_o that_o neither_o shall_v any_o man_n pluck_v they_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o in_o that_o speech_n he_o show_v and_o utter_v the_o strength_n of_o his_o will_n as_o much_o as_o of_o his_o power_n for_o otherwise_o although_o his_o hand_n of_o power_n have_v be_v never_o so_o potent_a to_o have_v hold_v they_o against_o all_o opposition_n yet_o if_o his_o will_n have_v not_o as_o strong_o resolve_v to_o hold_v they_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o so_o if_o they_o be_v not_o as_o deep_a in_o his_o heart_n as_o they_o be_v fast_o in_o his_o hand_n this_o speech_n of_o his_o have_v not_o be_v make_v good_a that_o they_o shall_v never_o perish_v and_o then_o he_o give_v the_o reason_n both_o of_o this_o resoluteness_n of_o his_o will_n and_o this_o prevalency_n of_o his_o power_n from_o his_o father_n both_o will_n and_o power_n engage_v as_o much_o as_o his_o own_o in_o this_o fullness_n my_o father_n say_v he_o that_o give_v they_o i_o be_v great_a than_o all_o and_o none_o be_v able_a to_o pluck_v they_o cut_v of_o my_o father_n hand_n he_o plead_v here_o first_o his_o father_n will_n he_o give_v they_o i_o and_o then_o second_o his_o power_n who_o these_o jew_n he_o speak_v to_o acknowledge_v great_a than_o all_o though_o he_o they_o do_v not_o he_o be_v great_a than_o all_o none_o can_v pluck_v they_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o then_o argue_v to_o himself_o my_o father_n and_o i_o be_v one_o one_o in_o nature_n therefore_o much_o more_o in_o will_n two_o person_n that_o have_v distinct_a essence_n may_v yet_o be_v one_o in_o will_n as_o the_o ten_o king_n be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n when_o they_o agree_v in_o one_o thing_n rev._n 17._o 13_o 17._o so_o act._n 4._o 32._o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o that_o believe_v be_v of_o one_o heart_n and_o of_o one_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o judgement_n and_o consent_n of_o mind_n but_o christ_n and_o god_n the_o father_n be_v one_o yet_o near_o one_o in_o nature_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o entire_a in_o will_n for_o by_o nature_n they_o have_v but_o one_o will_n between_o they_o and_o that_o place_n speak_v at_o once_o in_o relation_n to_o both_o their_o willingness_n to_o save_v as_o to_o both_o their_o power_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o argument_n that_o they_o do_v both_o agree_v and_o be_v like_o to_o agree_v in_o it_o but_o that_o they_o can_v never_o disagree_v two_o that_o essential_o have_v two_o will_n though_o for_o the_o present_a agree_n in_o one_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o disagree_v and_o not_o will_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o if_o they_o essential_o have_v but_o one_o will_n it_o be_v impossible_a then_o but_o that_o they_o must_v ever_o agree_v this_o great_a security_n therefore_o do_v christ_n give_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n you_o have_v not_o only_o two_o person_n engage_v person_n great_a than_o all_o but_o all_o that_o be_v in_o they_o engage_v both_o their_o power_n and_o will_n and_o what_o more_o can_v be_v desire_v and_o if_o the_o one_o hold_v his_o purpose_n the_o other_o must_v also_o for_o they_o be_v one_o you_o have_v the_o oneness_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n give_v you_o for_o security_n so_o that_o if_o they_o can_v never_o be_v make_v two_o and_o wrought_v asunder_o than_o sinner_n must_v needs_o be_v save_v till_o these_o two_o person_n do_v disagree_v you_o be_v sure_a enough_o and_o they_o must_v cease_v to_o be_v ere_o they_o can_v cease_v to_o agree_v for_o they_o be_v one_o and_o one_o in_o be_v we_o have_v another_o testimony_n as_o full_a as_o this_o 1_o john_n 5._o 7._o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o

here_o their_o truth_n be_v pawn_v as_o in_o that_o other_o place_n their_o power_n be_v for_o the_o apostle_n allege_v this_o as_o such_o a_o truth_n as_o they_o all_o agree_v and_o stand_v in_o to_o
