but_o do_v serious_o look_v into_o and_o consider_v this_o great_a mystery_n of_o christ_n crucify_v approve_v thereof_o rest_n and_o repose_v upon_o this_o crucify_a christ_n have_v the_o power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o his_o death_n shed_v abroad_o into_o his_o heart_n and_o life_n than_o he_o be_v say_v for_o to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v true_o and_o effectual_o b●t_v then_o 2._o how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v our_o work_n our_o great_a work_n to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v why_o if_o it_o be_v the_o work_n and_o great_a work_n of_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v then_o it_o be_v our_o work_n our_o great_a work_n to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v now_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 1._o we_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v that_o be_v our_o work_n say_v he_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n wrought_v any_o miracle_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o go_v and_o see_v thou_o tell_v no_o man_n but_o when_o he_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n say_v he_o and_o what_o do_v the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o but_o christ_n crucify_v what_o be_v the_o gospel_n but_o a_o dead_a christ_n and_o what_o be_v chr●st_a but_o a_o live_a gospel_n now_o i_o say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o preacher_n their_o great_a work_n to_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v then_o it_o be_v our_o work_n and_o our_o great_a work_n to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v 2._o look_v what_o that_o be_v that_o all_o the_o ceremony_n sacrifice_n and_o type_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v hold_v forth_o that_o be_v we_o to_o know_v especial_o now_o what_o do_v all_o the_o sacrifice_n all_o the_o type_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n hold_v forth_o but_o christ_n crucify_v and_o what_o do_v all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o new_a what_o do_v baptism_n what_o do_v preach_v what_o do_v the_o lord_n supper_n hold_v forth_o but_o christ_n crucify_v sure_o therefore_o this_o be_v our_o great_a work_n to_o know_v but_o 3._o if_o christ_n crucify_v be_v the_o great_a and_o proper_a and_o next_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n then_o certain_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v our_o special_a work_n and_o duty_n for_o to_o know_v christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v now_o christ_n crucify_v be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o be_v open_v and_o preach_v will_v both_o beget_v and_o increase_v our_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n r●m_n 3.25_o who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n the_o blood_n and_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o next_o and_o immediate_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n four_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o do_v bid_v for_o our_o faith_n which_o man_n do_v ordinary_o think_v we_o be_v to_o trust_v unto_o the_o power_n of_o god_n the_o promise_n of_o god_n the_o personal_a excellency_n and_o fullness_n of_o christ_n and_o their_o own_o grace_n but_o though_o we_o do_v rest_n upon_o the_o power_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n of_o god_n yet_o if_o you_o look_v into_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o immediate_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v christ_n crucify_v god_n be_v the_o ultimate_a christ_n the_o immediate_a object_n you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o joh._n 14.1_o in_o i_o next_o and_o immediate_o and_o in_o god_n ultimate_o and_o though_o we_o may_v and_o do_v rest_n on_o the_o promise_n or_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o do_v so_o far_o rest_v on_o it_o as_o we_o do_v close_o with_o christ_n therein_o the_o promise_n be_v ●ut_v the_o vein_n of_o christ_n whereby_o his_o blood_n be_v carry_v into_o all_o his_o body_n it_o be_v with_o the_o promise_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o ●eals_n or_o sacrament_n for_o what_o be_v the_o sacrament_n but_o so_o many_o real_a promise_n make_v to_o the_o eye_n now_o you_o do_v not_o rest_v on_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o but_o you_o rest_n on_o christ_n which_o the_o sacrament_n do_v exhibit_v so_o for_o the_o promise_n though_o it_o stay_v up_o your_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o though_o it_o be_v objectum_fw-la quo_fw-la the_o object_n by_o which_o you_o do_v it_o yet_o christ_n and_o a_o crucify_a christ_n be_v the_o objectum_fw-la quod_fw-la the_o object_n which_o you_o do_v rest_n upon_o and_o as_o for_o the_o personal_a excellency_n and_o fullness_n of_o christ_n though_o those_o excellency_n do_v draw_v out_o your_o love_n unto_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o crucify_a christ_n that_o do_v draw_v out_o your_o faith_n the_o personal_a excellency_n of_o christ_n make_v he_o a_o fit_a subject_n for_o you_o to_o rest_v on_o but_o it_o be_v christ_n crucify_v that_o you_o build_v and_o lay_v the_o weight_n of_o your_o soul_n upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n do_v not_o cure_v the_o israelite_n by_o virtue_n of_o its_o excellent_a metal_n but_o as_o lift_v up_o so_o say_v christ_n shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o on_o the_o cross_n and_o as_o lift_v up_o on_o the_o cross_n he_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o though_o our_o grace_n be_v and_o may_v be_v a_o good_a help_n to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n of_o assurance_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n of_o reliance_n for_o god_n do_v therefore_o sometime_o put_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o our_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v not_o trust_v to_o or_o rest_n on_o they_o christ_n and_o christ_n alone_o and_o that_o as_o die_v and_o crucify_a be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o it_o be_v not_o with_o this_o object_n as_o it_o be_v with_o other_o object_n take_v another_o object_n and_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o cleary_a spread_v before_o the_o organ_n or_o faculty_n yet_o it_o can_v cause_v or_o beget_v the_o act._n suppose_v the_o most_o excellent_a colour_n be_v lay_v before_o the_o eye_n will_v that_o cause_n the_o blind_a eye_n to_o see_v no_o or_o suppose_v the_o most_o excellent_a sound_n or_o noise_n of_o music_n be_v lay_v before_o the_o ear_n can_v that_o cause_n the_o deaf_a ear_n to_o hear_v no_o yet_o sound_n be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o ear_n hear_v and_o colour_n the_o object_n of_o the_o eye_n see_v but_o if_o the_o true_a object_n of_o faith_n christ_n crucify_v be_v open_v and_o lay_v before_o a_o unbelieve_a heart_n it_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o believe_v yea_o and_o it_o will_v increase_v faith_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o book_n of_o the_o hebrew_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o great_a design_n of_o that_o book_n be_v to_o raise_v and_o increase_v faith_n as_o

increase_v our_o faith_n as_o to_o open_v and_o spread_v christ_n crucify_v before_o the_o soul_n now_o it_o be_v the_o great_a wor●_n of_o a_o minister_n to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o god●_n people_n sure_o therefore_o it_o be_v his_o work_n and_o grea●_n work_v to_o make_v know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o according_o paul_n say_v here_o i_o determine_v to_o know_v nothing_o among_o you_o but_o christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v obj._n but_o the_o apostle_n say_v henceforth_o know_v we_o n●_n man_n after_o the_o flesh_n no_o not_o christ_n himself_o and_o though_o w●_n have_v

that_o it_o be_v our_o great_a work_n to_o know_v and_o make_v know_v christ_n crucify_v answ_n yes_o very_o well_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o there_o speak_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o
