but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o surety_n of_o a_o better_a covenant_n as_o he_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a all_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o this_o where_o we_o have_v a_o limitation_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n death_n it_o be_v for_o all_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o not_o but_o that_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o save_v all_o mankind_n the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n god-man_n the_o merit_n of_o his_o suffer_v sufficient_a to_o save_v all_o mankind_n but_o this_o limitation_n show_v that_o none_o have_v benefit_n by_o christ_n but_o those_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v able_a to_o save_v and_o another_o thing_n for_o people_n to_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o that_o salvation_n suppose_v a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o save_v all_o the_o poor_a in_o the_o town_n yet_o none_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o but_o those_o that_o come_v to_o he_o for_o their_o relief_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o ability_n and_o benefit_n so_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a but_o it_o be_v they_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o that_o be_v save_v not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o merit_n in_o our_o come_n to_o god_n for_o what_o merit_n be_v there_o in_o beggar_n come_v for_o a_o alm_n we_o come_v to_o god_n by_o christ_n as_o beggar_n for_o a_o alms._n but_o still_o we_o must_v come_v and_o we_o must_v come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o salvation_n there_o be_v multitude_n of_o people_n in_o the_o world_n who_o case_n be_v very_o deplorable_a jew_n turk_n and_o heathen_n they_o all_o have_v their_o devotion_n ground_v upon_o something_o the_o jew_n come_v to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o jewish_a way_n the_o turk_n have_v their_o come_n to_o god_n for_o the_o great_a article_n of_o their_o faith_n we_o believe_v there_o be_v be_v one_o only_o true_a god_n and_o the_o heathen_n have_v their_o way_n of_o come_v to_o god_n but_o because_o none_o of_o these_o have_v their_o come_n to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o they_o have_v no_o benefit_n by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o papist_n who_o prove_v the_o christian_a faith_n do_v run_v a_o great_a hazard_n of_o their_o salvation_n by_o come_v to_o god_n by_o other_o mediator_n than_o by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o bless_a saint_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v not_o able_a to_o save_v and_o be_v a_o mediator_n for_o they_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 5._o for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n so_o that_o here_o you_o have_v the_o limitation_n of_o that_o salvation_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v all_o to_o the_o uttermost_a that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o the_o phrase_n of_o come_v to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o come_n i_o answer_v come_v be_v a_o metaphorical_a word_n translate_v from_o the_o body_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o thus_o the_o body_n have_v its_o motion_n you_o know_v it_o go_v and_o come_v this_o or_o that_o way_n so_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v its_o motion_n it_o go_v or_o come_v it_o go_v to_o god_n or_o come_v from_o god_n now_o come_v in_o scripture_n when_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n it_o always_o import_v a_o believe_a a_o trust_n in_o a_o rest_v upon_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o faith_n be_v the_o foot_n of_o a_o soul_n by_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v come_v unto_o god_n it_o bring_v the_o soul_n to_o christ_n to_o take_v up_o with_o he_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o come_v unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n heb._n 4._o 16._o let_v we_o come_v bold_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v mercy_n and_o find_v grace_n to_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n i._n e._n let_v our_o soul_n go_v out_o to_o god_n grace_n in_o christ_n and_o there_o rest_v as_o unbelief_n be_v call_v a_o depart_n from_o the_o live_a god_n heb._n 3._o and_o the_o latter_a end_n now_o you_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o depart_v from_o god_n it_o be_v when_o you_o cast_v off_o all_o hope_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o when_o your_o heart_n run_v out_o to_o sin_n and_o grow_v dead_a towards_o god_n when_o you_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o keep_v up_o communion_n with_o he_o this_o be_v a_o depart_n from_o he_o so_o come_v to_o he_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n whereby_o the_o soul_n go_v out_o to_o he_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n the_o soul_n go_v out_o to_o he_o by_o faith_n and_o rest_v upon_o he_o by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o do_v purify_v the_o heart_n and_o reform_v the_o life_n many_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n they_o have_v a_o notion_n by_o which_o they_o great_o deceive_v themselves_o and_o that_o be_v this_o they_o think_v and_o say_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o though_o they_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o life_n of_o faith_n and_o have_v live_v in_o much_o ignorance_n yet_o they_o say_v they_o doubt_v not_o of_o their_o salvation_n for_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n be_v merciful_a beyond_o all_o our_o apprehension_n and_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n yet_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v believe_v it_o be_v only_o for_o such_o sinner_n as_o have_v a_o coming-faith_n to_o he_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o may_v unite_v their_o soul_n to_o he_o for_o mind_v it_o you_o read_v in_o luke_n 14._o where_o our_o saviour_n compare_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o poor_a sinner_n to_o a_o man_n that_o make_v a_o great_a supper_n for_o his_o guest_n and_o invite_v they_o but_o when_o they_o all_o refuse_v to_o come_v read_v v._o 24._o i_o say_v unto_o you_o none_o of_o they_o that_o be_v bid_v shall_v taste_v of_o my_o supper_n why_o shall_v they_o not_o taste_v of_o it_o why_o because_o they_o refuse_v to_o come_v upon_o his_o invitation_n and_o therefore_o none_o of_o they_o which_o be_v bid_v shall_v taste_v of_o my_o supper_n this_o be_v to_o shadow_v out_o god_n way_n with_o poor_a slighty_a sinner_n that_o soul_n that_o be_v take_v up_o with_o his_o farm_n and_o ox_n the_o lord_n say_v he_o shall_v not_o taste_v of_o his_o supper_n you_o must_v not_o therefore_o rest_v in_o general_a notion_n for_o as_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a misery_n in_o the_o world_n to_o want_v a_o coming-heart_n to_o christ_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a mercy_n that_o we_o can_v enjoy_v in_o this_o life_n to_o have_v a_o coming-heart_n to_o jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v a_o heart_n go_v out_o to_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v very_o observable_a what_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v in_o matth._n 7._o he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o last_o day_n there_o will_v be_v many_o come_v to_o seek_v admittance_n into_o his_o kingdom_n for_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o v._o 22._o many_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o in_o that_o day_n lord_n lord_n have_v we_o not_o prophesy_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n have_v cast_v out_o devil_n &_o in_o thy_o name_n have_v do_v many_o wonderful_a work_n then_o will_v i_o profess_v to_o they_o i_o never_o know_v you_o depart_v from_o i_o you_o that_o work_v iniquity_n christ_n will_v say_v i_o never_o know_v they_o how_o be_v this_o to_o be_v understand_v pray_v consider_v christ_n know_v all_o man_n he_o do_v know_v the_o person_n of_o these_o man_n that_o do_v come_v and_o plead_v thus_o with_o he_o but_o when_o he_o say_v he_o never_o know_v they_o his_o meaning_n be_v he_o never_o have_v any_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o they_o do_v never_o come_v to_o he_o and_o act_v faith_n in_o he_o our_o lord_n will_v say_v at_o the_o great_a day_n you_o talk_v of_o gift_n and_o part_n and_o service_n but_o i_o never_o have_v your_o heart_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n to_o live_v that_o life_n we_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v we_o now_o to_o some_o application_n and_o that_o be_v of_o direction_n to_o poor_a sinner_n that_o be_v stranger_n to_o

from_o the_o word_n that_o we_o must_v always_o keep_v close_o to_o scripture-testimony_n to_o take_v up_o that_o which_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o must_v take_v it_o up_o on_o scripture-testimony_n and_o not_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o 18_o verse_n for_o there_o be_v very_o a_o disannul_n of_o the_o commandment_n go_v before_o a_fw-la disannulling_n and_o then_o he_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n thereof_o first_o say_v he_o very_o there_o be_v a_o command_n go_v before_o what_o command_n be_v that_o why_o the_o command_n of_o the_o levitical-way_n of_o worship_n which_o do_v go_v before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n for_o the_o law_n as_o to_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o it_o be_v before_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v before_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v our_o spiritual_a highpriest_n and_o sacrifice_n though_o he_o be_v promise_v before_o yet_o it_o be_v before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v but_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o come_v as_o the_o shadow_n sometime_o go_v before_o the_o body_n so_o do_v the_o law_n come_v before_o christ_n the_o levitical_a priesthood_n go_v before_o the_o evangelical_n priesthood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o be_v a_o disannul_n of_o the_o command_n go_v before_o disannul_v what_o be_v that_o why_o it_o be_v a_o abrogate_a and_o make_v void_a so_o as_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o this_o command_n to_o that_o kind_a of_o worship_n that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o offer_v those_o sacrifice_n the_o command_n of_o those_o sacrifice_n be_v disannul_v he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o observe_v those_o rite_n those_o manifold_a ceremony_n for_o the_o command_n be_v disannul_v and_o make_v void_a by_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n pray_v attend_v to_o those_o thing_n for_o it_o may_v be_v of_o use_n to_o they_o that_o be_v studious_a to_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v a_o disannul_n of_o the_o command_n and_o law_n of_o the_o old_a way_n of_o worship_n what_o reason_n why_o say_v he_o because_o of_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o it_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o all_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o service_n be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n remove_v it_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n do_v spend_v all_o his_o day_n in_o that_o kind_n of_o worship_n and_o service_n without_o look_v beyond_o it_o it_o profit_v nothing_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o effect_v the_o great_a thing_n the_o soul_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o and_o therefore_o in_o gal._n 4._o 9_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o weak_a and_o beggarly_a element_n you_o see_v what_o he_o call_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v once_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o he_o so_o call_v they_o in_o respect_n of_o gospel_n dispensation_n so_o here_o they_o be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a there_o be_v several_a thing_n in_o scripture_n that_o be_v say_v not_o to_o profit_v we_o as_o first_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n see_v john_n 6._o 13._o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o he_o speak_v it_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o doctrine_n the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o fleshly_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n as_o those_o people_n the_o papist_n who_o count_v themselves_o the_o only_a wise_a people_n it_o profit_v nothing_o to_o know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n though_o if_o they_o be_v certain_a they_o can_v lie_v in_o the_o manger_n where_o christ_n lie_v and_o kiss_v the_o cross_n and_o go_v to_o the_o sepulchre_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v only_o filthy_a knowledge_n and_o profit_v nothing_o so_o again_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v little_a 1_o tim._n 4._o 8._o for_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v little_a but_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a unto_o all_o thing_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o life_n that_o now_o be_v and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v bodily_a exercise_n profit_v nothing_o some_o have_v no_o other_o religion_n but_o what_o lie_v in_o bodily_a exercise_n three_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o meat_n profit_v nothing_o see_v heb._n 13._o 9_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o heart_n establish_v with_o grace_n and_o not_o with_o meat_n which_o have_v not_o profit_v they_o that_o have_v be_v occupy_v therein_o the_o jew_n of_o old_a make_v a_o great_a distinction_n about_o meat_n so_o the_o papist_n now_o hold_v it_o a_o great_a sin_n to_o eat_v meat_n in_o lent_n and_o to_o eat_v flesh_n on_o wednesdays_n and_o friday_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n this_o profit_v nothing_o this_o distinction_n of_o meat_n profit_v nothing_o to_o the_o soul_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n the_o commandment_n be_v disannul_v for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o it_o how_o be_v that_o why_o if_o man_n go_v no_o further_o in_o the_o law_n than_o bring_v a_o lamb_n or_o a_o bullock_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n and_o be_v very_o strict_a in_o observe_v all_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n these_o thing_n profit_v nothing_o the_o lord_n disannule_v the_o commandment_n concern_v all_o the_o jewish_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n in_o they_o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v why_o do_v god_n appoint_v they_o see_v they_o be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a i_o answer_v though_o they_o be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a as_o to_o reach_v the_o main_a end_n of_o man_n salvation_n yet_o god_n have_v other_o holy_a end_n in_o appoint_v of_o they_o first_o of_o all_o to_o keep_v his_o child_n and_o people_n under_o obedience_n until_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n do_v come_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o this_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v addict_v to_o worship_n a_o deity_n some_o god_n or_o other_o or_o something_o that_o they_o make_v their_o god_n all_o the_o heathen_a worshipper_n be_v for_o worship_v some_o god_n or_o other_o and_o if_o god_n have_v leave_v this_o people_n without_o divine_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n they_o will_v have_v run_v into_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o idolatrous_a heathen_n which_o be_v worse_o god_n do_v by_o his_o child_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n as_o parent_n do_v with_o their_o child_n they_o set_v they_o about_o thing_n that_o be_v little_a worth_n or_o of_o little_a effect_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o do_v worse_o so_o god_n leave_v his_o people_n the_o divine_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o run_v into_o heathenish_a idolatry_n second_o god_n have_v still_o a_o further_a end_n and_o that_o be_v though_o they_o be_v not_o perfect_a of_o themselves_o yet_o by_o this_o they_o be_v direct_v to_o look_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o priesthood_n and_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o though_o they_o be_v no_o more_o perfect_v by_o they_o than_o the_o body_n be_v by_o the_o shadow_n yet_o the_o shadow_n show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o body_n so_o those_o thing_n be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a in_o themselves_o but_o they_o lead_v to_o christ_n the_o substance_n so_o they_o be_v of_o holy_a use_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o elect_a of_o god_n but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o point_n and_o so_o to_o pass_v on_o if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o all_o the_o moysaicall_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n be_v weak_a and_o imperfect_a and_o god_n for_o that_o reason_n abolish_v they_o because_o they_o can_v not_o reach_v the_o main_a end_n of_o man_n happiness_n then_o here_o you_o may_v see_v the_o folly_n of_o those_o man_n that_o set_v up_o these_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n and_o (null)_o invention_n in_o part_n of_o their_o worship_n if_o god_n own_o institution_n be_v weak_a and_o unprofitable_a what_o be_v man_n invention_n be_v their_o priestly_a vestment_n profitable_a their_o cross_n and_o cringing_n
