marvellous_a consideratition_n that_o subject_n have_v sin_v and_o the_o lord_n must_v be_v beat_v that_o servant_n have_v offend_v and_o the_o master_n must_v die_v that_o the_o guilty_a shall_v be_v spare_v &_o the_o innocent_a punish_v and_o yet_o god_n justice_n not_o impeach_v on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v god_n almighty_a how_o can_v he_o have_v encounter_v and_o conquer_v the_o devil_n hell_n sin_n death_n and_o all_o the_o great_a enemy_n of_o our_o salvation_n that_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o man_n to_o battle_n with_o all_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v everlasting_a god_n how_o can_v he_o by_o temporal_a suffering_n have_v discharge_v we_o of_o eternal_a torment_n and_o how_o shall_v the_o merit_n of_o his_o suffering_n have_v reach_v to_o those_o that_o live_v long_o before_o &_o long_o after_o his_o death_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v infinite_a god_n how_o shall_v the_o father_n have_v accept_v so_o many_o sinner_n in_o he_o and_o he_o for_o so_o many_o sinner_n which_o he_o be_v angry_a withal_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o be_v present_a with_o his_o people_n throughout_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a he_o shall_v be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n that_o be_v man_n he_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o suffer_v whatsoever_o be_v due_a from_o god_n &_o do_v whatsoever_o be_v &_o be_v god_n he_o may_v be_v all_o sufficient_a to_o make_v that_o acceptable_a and_o effectual_a which_o be_v suffer_v and_o do_v for_o us._n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n 1_o hereof_o come_v that_o near_a conjunction_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n set_v forth_o in_o the_o scripture_n by_o many_o similitude_n he_o be_v call_v the_o head_n and_o we_o the_o body_n not_o 1._o col._n 1._o his_o natural_a body_n but_o his_o mystical_a body_n as_o all_o true_a christian_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o every_o one_o be_v a_o member_n of_o his_o body_n not_o hypocrite_n for_o they_o be_v no_o more_o true_a member_n 12_o 1._o cor._n 12_o of_o christ_n body_n than_o a_o brazen_a noase_n or_o a_o wooden_a leg_n be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o man_n body_n but_o true_a christian_n that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o regeneration_n unite_v to_o christ_n for_o though_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o in_o earth_n yet_o as_o the_o foot_n which_o be_v a_o great_a way_n distant_a from_o the_o head_n be_v by_o certain_a sinew_n and_o vein_n spring_v from_o the_o head_n join_v to_o the_o head_n so_o christian_n be_v by_o certain_a spiritual_a vein_n as_o faith_n hope_n love_n etc._n etc._n join_v unto_o christ_n he_o be_v also_o call_v the_o husband_n &_o the_o church_n be_v call_v his_o wife_n therefore_o as_o the_o wife_n lose_v she_o own_o name_n and_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o her_o husband_n so_o we_o lose_v our_o own_o name_n and_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v call_v christian_n and_o as_o a_o 14._o acts._n 14._o wife_n be_v endow_v with_o the_o good_n of_o her_o husband_n so_o be_v we_o with_o the_o riches_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v call_v the_o vine_n &_o we_o the_o branch_n 15._o john_n 15._o from_o who_o we_o receive_v spiritual_a juice_n and_o virtue_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n acceptable_a to_o god_n &_o profitable_a to_o man_n for_o as_o adam_n do_v not_o only_o make_v we_o guilty_a but_o also_o corrupt_v we_o so_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o make_v we_o innocent_a but_o also_o sanctifi_v us._n 2_o hereof_o come_v that_o mystical_a and_o spiritual_a alliance_n and_o kindred_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o his_o people_n therefore_o he_o call_v those_o that_o do_v his_o father_n will_n his_o mother_n 12._o mat._n 12._o his_o brother_n and_o sister_n how_o poor_a or_o base_a soever_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o right_a strain_n of_o christianity_n they_o be_v of_o the_o most_o royal_a blood_n and_o more_o honourable_a than_o they_o which_o come_v of_o the_o house_n of_o valois_n of_o austria_n or_o any_o earthly_a descent_n because_o they_o have_v god_n for_o their_o father_n the_o church_n for_o their_o mother_n christ_n for_o their_o elder_a brother_n and_o be_v make_v king_n and_o queen_n of_o heaven_n as_o one_o say_v those_o that_o be_v noble_a by_o their_o first_o birth_n in_o the_o world_n do_v become_v unnoble_a by_o vice_n so_o those_o that_o be_v unnoble_a by_o their_o first_o birth_n may_v become_v noble_a by_o a_o new_a birth_n and_o by_o virtue_n therefore_o peter_n call_v the_o faithful_a a_o choose_a generation_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n a_o holy_a nation_n a_o peculiar_a people_n 2._o 1._o pet._n 2._o 3_o hereof_o come_v that_o mutual_a exchange_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o we_o he_o be_v make_v with_o we_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v with_o he_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o by_o imputation_n and_o communication_n take_v on_o he_o our_o sin_n and_o misery_n that_o they_o may_v be_v impute_v to_o we_o his_o virtue_n and_o merit_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o 5._o 2._o cor._n 5._o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n by_o he_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o his_o poverty_n shall_v be_v our_o fitches_n that_o his_o bondage_n 9_o 2._o cor._n 8._o 9_o shall_v be_v our_o liberty_n that_o his_o condemnation_n before_o pilate_n shall_v be_v our_o iustificatibefore_n god_n that_o his_o stripe_n shall_v be_v the_o 2._o rom._n 8._o 2._o cure_n of_o our_o wound_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v 5._o esa_n 53._o 5._o join_v with_o thief_n and_o robber_n that_o we_o may_v be_v join_v with_o saint_n and_o angel_n 13_o luk._n 23_o gal._n 3._o 13_o that_o his_o curse_n shall_v be_v our_o blessing_n that_o he_o shall_v overcome_v death_n by_o die_v and_o that_o his_o death_n shall_v be_v our_o life_n that_o he_o 14._o he._n 2._o 14._o shall_v descend_v into_o hell_n that_o be_v into_o hellish_a torment_n that_o he_o may_v lift_v we_o up_o to_o 26._o mat._n 26._o heaven_n and_o happiness_n therefore_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v crucify_v with_o he_o to_o be_v bury_v 6_o gal._n 2._o 19_o rom._n 6._o 4_o col._n 3._o 1._o ephe._n 2._o 6_o with_o he_o to_o be_v quicken_v with_o he_o eph._n 2._o 5._o to_o be_v raise_v up_o with_o he_o col._n 3._o 1._o to_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n with_o he_o for_o at_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v not_o a_o private_a but_o a_o public_a person_n in_o who_o all_o mankind_n be_v include_v so_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n be_v not_o a_o private_a but_o a_o public_a person_n in_o who_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v therefore_o in_o christ_n death_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o justification_n in_o christ_n ascension_n and_o glorification_n we_o must_v see_v the_o death_n resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o as_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v all_o these_o thing_n for_o the_o church_n so_o the_o church_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v all_o those_o thing_n in_o he_o and_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o those_o thing_n by_o &_o with_o he_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o god_n be_v manife_v in_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o he_o be_v call_v our_o saviour_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o his_o 5._o mat._n 1._o 21_o 1._o tim._n 2._o 5._o name_n jesus_n he_o be_v call_v our_o mediator_n to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o where_o by_o the_o way_n note_n that_o the_o popish_a book_n call_v the_o lady_n psalter_n make_v by_o bonavent_a be_v blasphemous_a because_o it_o appoint_v other_o mediator_n beside_o he_o he_o be_v call_v our_o lord_n to_o 9_o 1._o cor._n 8._o 6._o joh._n 10._o 9_o defend_v &_o govern_v we_o he_o be_v call_v our_o door_n and_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o father_n he_o be_v call_v our_o physician_n to_o cure_v our_o spiritual_a disease_n 12_o mat._n 9_o 12_o and_o to_o restore_v we_o to_o health_n he_o be_v call_v 6._o john_n 10._o 11._o john_n 6._o our_o shepherd_n to_o gather_v we_o into_o the_o church_n he_o be_v call_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n to_o nourish_v we_o to_o life_n everlasting_a he_o be_v call_v our_o 2._o ephe._n 2._o peace_n to_o pacific_a our_o conscience_n he_o be_v call_v tim._n tim._n our_o hope_n because_o he_o
