must_v understand_v all_o the_o difficulty_n of_o quantity_n and_o whether_o it_o consist_v of_o divisibles_n or_o indivisibles_n and_o must_v understand_v the_o difference_n of_o matter_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v bite_v one_o sort_n of_o matter_n with_o his_o tooth_n but_o can_v make_v no_o impression_n upon_o another_o and_o how_o the_o part_n of_o matter_n hang_v together_o and_o the_o like_a there_o be_v a_o more_o general_a indistinct_a apprehension_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o govern_v our_o action_n though_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v all_o the_o

36._o christ_n i_o be_o sure_a say_v our_o author_n that_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n be_v a_o union_n no_o doubt_v sir_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o can_v be_v very_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v because_o the_o metaphysical_a notion_n of_o union_n be_v as_o difficult_a as_o any_o other_o transcendental_a term_n why_o then_o let_v the_o metaphysician_n dispute_v it_o out_o but_o for_o all_o that_o i_o can_v easy_o understand_v and_o i_o believe_v any_o one_o else_o can_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v relate_v to_o christ_n as_o subject_n be_v to_o their_o prince_n and_o

more_o it_o may_v bring_v my_o own_o discretion_n into_o question_n for_o next_o to_o make_v foolish_a and_o cavil_v objection_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o a_o very_a little_a wit_n to_o answer_v

i_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v the_o force_n of_o this_o objection_n unless_o he_o imagine_v that_o his_o book_n be_v now_o grow_v venerable_a for_o its_o antiquity_n but_o wherever_o the_o force_n of_o it_o lie_v i_o be_o sure_a it_o answer_v another_o grand_a objection_n against_o i_o which_o be_v so_o often_o repeat_v that_o i_o be_o a_o young_a man_n a_o defect_n which_o time_n will_v mend_v and_o which_o industry_n will_v supply_v however_o i_o suppose_v the_o doctor_n be_v not_o very_o old_a twenty_o year_n ago_o and_o it_o argue_v some_o modesty_n in_o the_o young_a man_n rather_o to_o attack_v a_o book_n write_v by_o the_o doctor_n when_o he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n too_o than_o rude_o to_o assault_v his_o write_n of_o a_o late_a date_n which_o may_v be_v presume_v to_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o more_o mature_a judgement_n and_o ripe_a year_n and_o i_o hope_v this_o consideration_n will_v plead_v my_o excuse_n with_o he_o for_o not_o undertake_v that_o task_n which_o he_o have_v so_o kind_o allot_v i_o right_a or_o wrong_n to_o answer_v all_o his_o late_a voluminous_a treatise_n which_o i_o think_v i_o may_v as_o soon_o be_v persuade_v to_o do_v as_o to_o

the_o great_a charge_n of_o all_o which_o run_v through_o his_o whole_a book_n be_v that_o i_o have_v misrepresent_v his_o word_n and_o pervert_v his_o sense_n which_o sometime_o he_o attribute_n to_o

will_v relate_v thing_n not_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n and_o usage_n of_o the_o time_n wherein_o they_o be_v act_v but_o according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o write_v for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n at_o what_o time_n the_o gospel_n be_v write_v nor_o what_o be_v the_o belief_n and_o practice_n of_o that_o age_n if_o we_o suppose_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v a_o true_a history_n not_o of_o those_o present_a time_n but_o of_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o that_o age_n wherein_o he_o live_v he_o argue_v much_o at_o the_o same_o rate_n in_o another_o place_n where_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o 40._o sermon_n &_o parable_n of_o our_o saviour_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v of_o great_a authority_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n than_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o his_o argument_n be_v extraordinary_a subtle_a because_o our_o saviour_n do_v no_o more_o write_v the_o four_o gospel_n than_o he_o do_v the_o epistle_n the_o same_o spirit_n that_o inspire_v matthew_n mark_n luke_n john_n to_o write_v the_o gospel_n inspire_v paul_n peter_n james_n john_n jude_n to_o write_v the_o epistle_n as_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o saviour_n sermon_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o writer_n not_o on_o the_o speaker_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o relation_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o those_o sermon_n and_o parable_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o first_o depend_v upon_o the_o honesty_n of_o the_o historian_n the_o second_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o speaker_n so_o that_o though_o matthew_n or_o mark_v etc._n etc._n write_v the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o the_o sermon_n and_o parable_n of_o the_o gospel_n derive_v their_o authority_n and_o veneration_n from_o christ_n himself_n and_o therefore_o the_o comparison_n between_o the_o gospel_n and_o epistle_n do_v not_o lie_v between_o st._n matthew_n and_o mark_n etc._n etc._n and_o st._n peter_n and_o st._n paul_n but_o between_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o though_o the_o evangelist_n be_v inspire_v man_n yet_o the_o only_a inspiration_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o this_o work_n be_v only_o to_o help_v their_o memory_n to_o make_v a_o true_a and_o faithful_a relation_n of_o what_o our_o saviour_n do_v and_o teach_v and_o though_o the_o apostle_n be_v inspire_v man_n too_o yet_o their_o very_a inspiration_n be_v to_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o their_o preach_a and_o write_n but_o to_o return_v in_o pag._n 4._o i_o find_v our_o author_n in_o a_o great_a amazement_n and_o i_o always_o suspect_v something_o be_v the_o matter_n with_o he_o that_o he_o write_v so_o much_o like_o a_o man_n out_o of_o his_o wit_n the_o occasion_n of_o it_o be_v that_o i_o say_v that_o all_o these_o office_n of_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n be_v not_o proper_o distinct_a office_n in_o christ_n but_o the_o several_a part_n and_o administration_n of_o his_o mediatory_a kingdom_n here_o he_o first_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a presumption_n for_o a_o young_a divine_a to_o say_v that_o these_o office_n be_v not_o distinct_a office_n in_o christ_n and_o never_o in_o the_o least_o suggest_v wherein_o the_o impropriety_n of_o so_o call_v they_o do_v lie_v but_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o distinct_a office_n but_o not_o so_o proper_o distinct_a office_n and_o have_v he_o not_o be_v in_o a_o great_a amazement_n he_o may_v have_v see_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o say_v so_o because_o christ_n do_v exercise_v a_o regal_a power_n and_o authority_n in_o each_o of_o these_o office_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o choose_v to_o state_n it_o in_o this_o manner_n be_v the_o better_a to_o show_v how_o all_o these_o office_n do_v conspire_v to_o the_o same_o end_n christ_n be_v a_o mediatory_a king_n who_o office_n be_v to_o reconcile_v god_n and_o man_n and_o in_o order_n to_o attain_v this_o end_n he_o give_v we_o his_o law_n to_o be_v the_o

necessary_a to_o the_o recovery_n of_o lose_a man_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o expiation_n and_o sacrifice_n without_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n nor_o think_v that_o his_o kingly_a power_n will_v save_v those_o who_o submit_v not_o to_o his_o rule_n and_o government_n which_o those_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o do_v who_o do_v not_o consider_v how_o all_o these_o office_n belong_v to_o he_o as_o a_o mediatory_a king_n but_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o such_o distinct_a thing_n which_o have_v distinct_a effect_n without_o any_o

but_o only_o as_o a_o priest_n who_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n and_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o assign_v for_o it_o be_v this_o that_o justification_n consist_v in_o be_v deliver_v

for_o we_o only_o as_o our_o priest_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o this_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n indeed_o for_o justify_v faith_n to_o eye_n christ_n only_o as_o our_o priest_n and_o sacrifice_n if_o his_o satisfaction_n alone_o can_v give_v we_o a_o title_n to_o justification_n if_o expiation_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n require_v to_o the_o pardon_n of_o it_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o

to_o look_v on_o he_o as_o our_o priest_n to_o expiate_v our_o sin_n his_o priestly_a and_o prophetical_a office_n be_v but_o subservient_fw-fr to_o his_o regal_a power_n as_o the_o priest_n and_o
