confuse_o to_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v our_o redeemer_n but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o see_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v he_o in_o every_o particular_a gift_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n if_o man_n use_v the_o creature_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v can_v when_o they_o behold_v they_o withal_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n behold_v in_o they_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n there_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o excess_n and_o riot_n so_o much_o surfeit_v and_o drunkenness_n as_o there_o be_v and_o if_o man_n can_v consider_v their_o house_n and_o land_n etc._n etc._n as_o blessing_n to_o they_o and_o that_o by_o the_o fountain_n of_o blessing_n the_o merit_n of_o christ_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o fraud_n and_o deceit_n so_o much_o injustice_n and_o oppression_n in_o bargain_v as_o there_o be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v now_o say_v of_o meat_n drink_n apparel_n must_v likewise_o be_v understand_v of_o gentry_n and_o nobility_n in_o as_o much_o as_o noble-birth_n without_o new_a birth_n in_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o earthly_a vanity_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o physic_n sleep_n 10._o health_n liberty_n yea_o of_o the_o very_a breathe_n in_o the_o air_n and_o to_o go_v yet_o further_o in_o our_o recreation_n christ_n must_v be_v know_v for_o all_o recreation_n stand_v in_o the_o use_n of_o thing_n indifferent_a and_o the_o holy_a use_n of_o all_o thing_n indifferent_a be_v purchase_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v very_o meet_v that_o christian_a man_n and_o woman_n shall_v with_o their_o earthly_a recreation_n join_v spiritual_a meditation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o from_o the_o one_o take_v occasion_n to_o bethink_v themselves_o of_o the_o other_o if_o this_o be_v practise_v there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o many_o unlawful_a sport_n and_o delight_n and_o so_o much_o abuse_v of_o lawful_a recreation_n as_o there_o be_v the_o three_o benefit_n be_v that_o all_o cross_n affliction_n &_o judgement_n whatsoever_o cease_v to_o be_v curse_n and_o punishment_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v only_a mean_n of_o correction_n or_o trial_n because_o his_o death_n have_v take_v away_o not_o some_o few_o part_n but_o all_o and_o every_o part_n of_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n now_o in_o all_o cross_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v know_v of_o we_o on_o this_o manner_n we_o must_v judge_v of_o our_o affliction_n as_o chastisement_n or_o trial_n proceed_v not_o from_o a_o revenge_a judge_n but_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o bountiful_a and_o love_a father_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v conceive_v in_o and_o with_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o we_o do_v other_o wise_a regard_v they_o we_o take_v they_o as_o curse_n and_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o subjection_n to_o god_n hand_n in_o all_o cross_n be_v a_o mark_n and_o badge_n of_o the_o true_a church_n the_o last_o benefit_n be_v that_o death_n be_v proper_o no_o death_n but_o a_o rest_n or_o sleep_v death_n therefore_o must_v be_v know_v and_o consider_v not_o as_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o law_n but_o as_o it_o be_v alter_v and_o change_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n &_o when_o death_n come_v we_o must_v then_o look_v upon_o it_o through_o christ_n death_n as_o through_o a_o glass_n and_o thus_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v but_o a_o passage_n from_o this_o life_n to_o everlasting_a life_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n crucify_v now_o follow_v his_o virtue_n which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o his_o godhead_n whereby_o he_o create_v new_a heart_n in_o all_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o make_v they_o new_a creature_n this_o virtue_n be_v double_a the_o first_o be_v the_o power_n of_o his_o death_n whereby_o he_o free_v himself_o from_o the_o punishment_n and_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o same_o virtue_n serve_v to_o mortify_v and_o crucify_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o mind_n will_n affection_n even_o as_o a_o corasive_n do_v waste_v &_o consume_v the_o rot_a &_o dead_a flesh_n in_o any_o part_n of_o man_n body_n the_o second_o be_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n which_o be_v also_o the_o power_n of_o his_o godhead_n whereby_o he_o raise_v himself_o from_o death_n to_o life_n &_o the_o very_a same_o power_n serve_v to_o raise_v those_o that_o belong_v to_o christ_n from_o their_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n and_o from_o the_o grave_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n now_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o double_a virtue_n must_v not_o be_v only_o speculative_a that_o be_v bare_o conceive_v in_o the_o brain_n but_o it_o must_v be_v experimental_a because_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v experience_n of_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v labour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n death_n kill_v &_o mortify_v our_o sin_n &_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n in_o the_o put_n of_o spiritual_a life_n into_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o say_v that_o we_o live_v not_o but_o that_o christ_n live_v in_o us._n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o excellent_a and_o principal_a thing_n which_o paul_n seek_v for_o who_o say_v i_o have_v count_v all_o thing_n loss_n and_o do_v judge_v they_o to_o be_v dung_n that_o i_o may_v know_v he_o and_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n phil._n 3._o 10._o and_o he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o right_a way_n to_o know_v and_o learn_v christ_n to_o cast_v off_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_a through_o deceivable_a lust_n and_o to_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v create_v in_o righteous_a and_o true_a holiness_n eph._n 4._o 24._o the_o three_o

and_o afterward_o but_o a_o do_v of_o the_o like_a by_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o imitation_n and_o it_o have_v four_o part_n the_o first_o be_v a_o spiritual_a oblation_n for_o as_o christ_n in_o the_o garden_n &_o upon_o the_o cross_n by_o prayer_n make_v with_o sting_v cry_n and_o tear_n present_v and_o resign_v himself_o up_o to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o propitiation_n to_o the_o

and_o all_o we_o have_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o the_o general_a call_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o in_o the_o particular_a calling_n in_o which_o he_o have_v place_v us._n take_v a_o example_n in_o david_n sacrifice_n and_o burn_a offering_n say_v he_o thou_o will_v not_o but_o ear_n thou_o have_v pierce_v unto_o i_o then_o say_v lo_o i_o come_v i_o desire_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n

we_o if_o it_o be_v every_o day_n and_o follow_v he_o again_o we_o must_v become_v like_a unto_o he_o in_o the_o crucify_a and_o mortify_v the_o mass_n and_o body_n of_o sin_n which_o we_o carry_v about_o we_o gal._n 5._o 24._o they_o which_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n thereof_o we_o must_v do_v as_o the_o jew_n do_v we_o must_v set_v up_o

sickness_n think_v how_o light_a these_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o agony_n and_o bloody_a sweat_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o thorn_n and_o nail_n of_o christ_n when_o thou_o be_v wrong_v in_o word_n or_o

he_o when_o thou_o be_v tempt_v with_o pride_n or_o vainglory_n consider_v how_o for_o thy_o proper_a sin_n christ_n be_v despise_v and_o mock_v and_o condemn_v among_o thief_n when_o anger_n and_o desire_v of_o revenge_n inflame_v thy_o heart_n think_v how_o christ_n give_v himself_o to_o death_n to_o save_v his_o enemy_n even_o then_o when_o they_o do_v most_o cruel_o entreat_v he_o and_o shed_v his_o blood_n and_o by_o these_o meditation_n special_o if_o they_o be_v mingle_v with_o faith_n thy_o mind_n shall_v be_v ease_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o christ_n crucify_v be_v to_o be_v

true_a god_n aright_o and_o know_v he_o to_o our_o salvation_n we_o must_v know_v he_o only_o in_o christ_n crucify_v god_n in_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o majesty_n be_v invisible_a not_o only_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o body_n but_o also_o to_o the_o very_a mind_n of_o man_n and_o he_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o only_o in_o christ_n in_o who_o he_o be_v to_o be_v see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n for_o in_o christ_n he_o set_v forth_o and_o give_v his_o justice_n goodness_n wisdom_n and_o himself_o whole_o unto_o us._n for_o this_o cause_n he_o be_v call_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n

bare_o respect_v their_o person_n but_o christ_n crucify_v in_o they_o and_o they_o in_o christ._n when_o paul_n persecute_v such_o as_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n he_o then_o from_o

special_a thing_n of_o ourselves_o the_o first_o how_o grievous_a our_o sin_n be_v and_o therefore_o how_o miserable_a we_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o they_o if_o we_o consider_v our_o offence_n in_o themselves_o and_o as_o they_o be_v in_o we_o we_o may_v soon_o be_v deceive_v because_o the_o conscience_n be_v corrupt_v often_o err_v in_o give_v testimony_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n make_v sin_n to_o appear_v less_o than_o it_o be_v indeed_o but_o if_o sin_n be_v consider_v in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n whereof_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n and_o the_o vileness_n thereof_o measure_v by_o the_o unspeakable_a torment_n endure_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o if_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o offence_n of_o man_n be_v esteem_v by_o the_o endless_a satisfaction_n make_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o least_o sin_n that_o be_v will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n indeed_o and_o that_o most_o grievous_a and_o ugly_a therefore_o christ_n crucify_v must_v be_v use_v of_o we_o as_o a_o mirror_n or_o look_v glass_n in_o which_o we_o may_v full_o take_v a_o view_n of_o our_o wretchedness_n and_o misery_n and_o what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n for_o such_o as_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n such_o be_v our_o passion_n or_o condition_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n &_o that_o which_o wicked_a man_n do_v to_o christ_n the_o same_o do_v sin_n and_o satan_n to_o our_o very_a soul_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o man_n believe_v in_o christ_n be_v not_o their_o own_o or_o lord_n of_o themselves_o but_o whole_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n belong_v to_o christ_n in_o that_o they_o be_v give_v to_o he_o of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o he_o have_v purchase_v they_o with_o his_o own_o blood_n 1._o cor._n 3._o you_o be_v christ_n and_o christ_n go_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v forget_v that_o christ_n esteem_v all_o the_o cross_n and_o affliction_n of_o his_o people_n as_o his_o own_o proper_a affliction_n hence_o again_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o give_v up_o ourselves_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o the_o honour_n and_o service_n of_o christ_n who_o we_o be_v the_o three_o be_v that_o every_o true_a believer_n not_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o as_o he_o be_v a_o new_a man_n or_o a_o christian_a have_v this_o be_v and_o subsist_v from_o christ_n we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o bone_n ephes._n 5._o v._o 30._o in_o which_o word_n paul_n allude_v to_o the_o speech_n of_o adam_n genes_n 3._o thou_o be_v bone_n of_o my_o

do_v of_o we_o proceed_v from_o the_o virtue_n &_o merit_n of_o crist_n crucify_v he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o in_o and_o by_o he_o without_o

be_v that_o we_o owe_v unto_o christ_n a_o endless_a debt_n for_o he_o be_v crucify_v only_o as_o our_o surety_n and_o pledge_n and_o in_o the_o spectacle_n of_o his_o passion_n we_o must_v consider_v ourselves_o as_o the_o chief_a debtor_n and_o that_o the_o very_a discharge_n of_o our_o debt_n that_o be_v the_o sin_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o be_v the_o proper_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o endless_a pain_n and_o torment_n that_o christ_n endure_v that_o he_o may_v set_v we_o most_o miserable_a bankrupt_n at_o liberty_n from_o hell_n death_n and_o damnation_n for_o this_o his_o unspeakable_a goodness_n if_o we_o do_v but_o once_o think_v of_o it_o serious_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o we_o owe_v ourselves_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o all_o that_o we_o have_v as_o a_o debt_n due_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o soon_o as_o any_o man_n begin_v to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v he_o know_v his_o own_o debt_n and_o think_v of_o the_o payment_n of_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v know_v now_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o make_v much_o examination_n whether_o this_o manner_n of_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v of_o christ_n take_v any_o place_n in_o the_o world_n or_o no_o for_o very_o few_o there_o be_v that_o know_v he_o as_o they_o ought_v the_o turk_n even_o at_o this_o very_a day_n know_v he_o not_o but_o as_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n the_o jew_n scorn_v his_o cross_n and_o passion_n the_o popish_a church_n though_o in_o word_n they_o confess_v he_o yet_o do_v they_o not_o know_v he_o as_o they_o ought_v the_o friar_n and_o
