the_o same_o distemper_n we_o will_v trace_v the_o footstep_n of_o divine_a power_n and_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n but_o alas_o all_o such_o endeavour_n will_v prove_v vain_a and_o curse_a fruitless_a and_o sinful_a indeed_o we_o find_v christ_n apostle_n work_v miracle_n but_o not_o in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n rather_o christ_n wrought_v sign_n and_o wonder_n by_o they_o for_o the_o

exercise_n of_o which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o walk_v as_o a_o prophet_n he_o walk_v up_o the_o mount_n and_o from_o thence_o give_v law_n and_o precept_n to_o the_o people_n as_o a_o priest_n he_o

and_o in_o these_o walk_v we_o be_v not_o direct_v to_o follow_v he_o it_o be_v a_o horrid_a presumption_n in_o the_o romanist_n who_o make_v a_o mere_a man_n head_n of_o the_o church_n who_o attribute_n to_o saint_n and_o angel_n a_o power_n of_o intercede_v in_o our_o behalf_n and_o therefore_o we_o just_o assert_v with_o the_o apostle_n paul_n he_o have_v give_v he_o to_o wit_n exclusive_o to_o be_v head_n and_o again_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n namely_o both_o of_o redemption_n and_o intercession_n between_o god_n and_o man_n he_o who_o be_v god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n indeed_o a_o analogical_a imitation_n may_v here_o be_v allow_v as_o christ_n be_v head_n of_o his_o church_n so_o the_o king_n 5._o be_v head_n of_o his_o kingdom_n the_o master_n head_n of_o his_o family_n as_o christ_n walk_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o church_n so_o the_o king_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o the_o master_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o house_n christ_n as_o a_o prophet_n do_v give_v law_n so_o his_o minister_n be_v prophet_n to_o interpret_v his_o law_n to_o the_o people_n and_o all_o superior_n must_v be_v prophet_n to_o instruct_v those_o who_o be_v under_o they_o as_o christ_n intercede_v in_o heaven_n for_o we_o so_o we_o must_v pray_v one_o for_o another_o on_o earth_n as_o christ_n offer_v a_o propitiatory_a real_a sacrifice_n so_o we_o must_v by_o he_o offer_v gratulatory_a spiritual_a sacrifice_n final_o to_o perform_v the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n he_o `dying_v on_o the_o cross_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o grave_a ascend_v into_o heaven_n so_o we_o must_v die_v to_o sin_n live_v to_o righteousness_n and_o seek_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o thus_o we_o be_v allow_v nay_o oblige_v
