paul_n tell_v we_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v manifest_a which_o be_v these_o adultery_n fornication_n uncleanness_n lasciviousness_n idolatry_n witchcraft_n hatred_n variance_n emulation_n

of_o christ_n person_n a_o dispensation_n from_o his_o own_o law_n and_o threaten_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o apostle_n understand_v not_o this_o limitation_n as_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o he_o add_v vers_fw-la 24._o and_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n and_o in_o rom._n viij_o 1._o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o

this_o be_v essential_a to_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o entitle_v we_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n will_v save_v none_o

union_n to_o christ_n give_v they_o a_o title_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o can_v never_o be_v reconcile_v with_o the_o antecedent_n necessity_n of_o holiness_n which_o the_o gospel_n

have_v reason_n to_o reject_v this_o too_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o sanctification_n as_o make_v it_o impossible_a to_o distinguish_v a_o sanctify_a from_o a_o unsanctified_a state_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o christ_n love_n to_o we_o as_o represent_v it_o too_o like_o a_o fond_a and_o foolish_a passion_n as_o respect_v the_o very_a person_n without_o regard_n to_o any_o qualification_n in_o he_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o fit_a object_n of_o love_n or_o not_o which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o imperfection_n in_o humane_a love_n that_o i_o can_v imagine_v it_o to_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o a_o divine_a love_n and_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o the_o immutability_n of_o christ_n love_n as_o sin_v itself_o can_v alter_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o holiness_n and_o purity_n of_o his_o nature_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o our_o love_n to_o christ_n as_o exclude_v all_o respect_n to_o the_o infinite_a love_n of_o christ_n and_o those_o numerous_a benefit_n we_o receive_v by_o he_o which_o the_o scripture_n assign_v as_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o our_o love_n to_o christ._n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o love_n to_o christ_n as_o exclude_v all_o regard_n to_o our_o own_o happiness_n and_o salvation_n by_o he_o and_o must_v make_v we_o content_v to_o

notion_n of_o our_o love_n to_o christ_n as_o oppose_v our_o love_n to_o christ_n to_o our_o duty_n and_o obedience_n to_o he_o which_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a and_o natural_a expression_n of_o our_o love_n of_o he_o such_o a_o love_n as_o consist_v only_o in_o some_o flight_n of_o fancy_n and_o imagination_n in_o admire_v and_o value_v the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o prefer_v he_o above_o all_o legal_a righteousness_n and_o blamelesness_n of_o conversation_n and_o duty_n upon_o conviction_n and_o in_o use_v all_o duty_n and_o ordinance_n only_o to_o have_v we_o over_o to_o christ_n for_o righteousness_n and_o salvation_n and_o whatever_o we_o need_v for_o this_o be_v no_o better_a than_o to_o set_v up_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n in_o opposition_n to_o his_o law_n and_o religion_n this_o be_v a_o short_a and_o plain_a account_n of_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n and_o design_n of_o my_o late_a discourse_n and_o the_o more_o i_o consider_v it_o the_o less_o reason_n i_o see_v to_o repent_v of_o my_o undertake_n the_o doctrine_n i_o have_v profess_o teach_v be_v the_o most_o necessary_a and_o useful_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n and_o so_o plain_a and_o evident_a that_o a_o young_a man_n than_o myself_o may_v defend_v they_o against_o the_o old_a sophister_n and_o the_o doctrine_n that_o i_o have_v oppose_v be_v as_o certain_o false_a as_o the_o other_o be_v true_a that_o such_o doctrine_n have_v be_v teach_v i_o have_v make_v it_o sufficient_o evident_a already_o by_o the_o express_a testimony_n of_o some_o late_a writer_n and_o because_o doctor_n owen_n be_v unwilling_a to_o own_o the_o charge_n as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o i_o must_v be_v force_v to_o make_v it_o good_a in_o vindication_n of_o my_o own_o

renounce_v such_o doctrine_n too_o and_o that_o be_v all_o i_o design_v i_o have_v no_o personal_a quarrel_n with_o any_o man_n and_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o find_v they_o more_o orthodox_n than_o their_o express_a word_n will_v ever_o suffer_v i_o yet_o to_o believe_v they_o be_v though_o i_o fear_v much_o that_o upon_o examination_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o i_o understand_v they_o too_o well_o and_o that_o the_o doctor_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o recant_v those_o doctrine_n which_o he_o will_v seem_v to_o disow_v there_o be_v some_o reason_n to_o suspect_v this_o because_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o declare_v his_o sense_n in_o plain_a word_n but_o endeavour_n to_o avoid_v the_o blow_n by_o juggle_v and_o sophistical_a art_n as_o will_v appear_v in_o what_o follow_v chap._n ii_o contain_v a_o answer_n to_o some_o popular_a exception_n next_o to_o no_o adversary_n the_o most_o desirable_a thing_n be_v to_o have_v a_o fair_a and_o ingenuous_a one_o but_o this_o must_v never_o be_v expect_v where_o man_n serve_v a_o faction_n which_o make_v they_o try_v all_o way_n not_o to_o discover_v what_o be_v true_a but_o how_o they_o may_v palliate_v their_o mistake_n and_o

old_a childish_a trick_n of_o fling_v stone_n and_o dirt_n i_o be_o not_o so_o well_o skill_v at_o this_o sport_n as_o to_o venture_v to_o engage_v with_o they_o nor_o shall_v i_o envy_v they_o such_o a_o victory_n which_o will_v cost_v they_o some_o time_n and_o trouble_n to_o make_v themselves_o clean_a again_o there_o be_v several_a familiar_a topic_n of_o reproach_n which_o such_o man_n use_v when_o they_o dare_v not_o direct_o engage_v in_o the_o dispute_n they_o have_v a_o peculiar_a gift_n of_o discern_a thought_n and_o intention_n and_o there_o never_o be_v any_o book_n write_v which_o they_o can_v not_o answer_v but_o it_o be_v write_v with_o a_o very_a ill_a design_n thus_o the_o doctor_n will_v

have_v make_v to_o the_o world_n which_o include_v whatever_o he_o have_v reveal_v to_o we_o concern_v his_o own_o person_n nature_n mediation_n and_o the_o whole_a will_n of_o god_n concern_v our_o

in_o matter_n of_o pure_a revelation_n doctor_n owen_n have_v advance_v a_o acquaintance_n with_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o only_a medium_fw-la of_o save_a knowledge_n that_o be_v when_o we_o have_v from_o the_o gospel_n learn_v who_o christ_n be_v what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o when_o we_o have_v learn_v those_o thing_n which_o concern_v his_o person_n office_n and_o work_v we_o may_v then_o give_v free_a scope_n to_o our_o fancy_n and_o draw_v such_o conclusion_n as_o be_v no_o where_o express_o contain_v in_o scripture_n or_o can_v not_o possible_o have_v be_v learn_v from_o scripture_n at_o least_o not_o clear_o and_o save_o without_o such_o a_o acquaintance_n with_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v without_o reason_v and_o draw_v conclusion_n from_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v &_o suffer_v these_o conclusion_n must_v be_v form_v into_o artificial_a theory_n and_o scheme_n of_o religion_n and_o then_o these_o be_v the_o great_a

learn_v from_o this_o acquaintance_n with_o christ._n i_o think_v there_o be_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o oppose_v this_o principle_n which_o give_v such_o boundless_a scope_n to_o man_n fancy_n and_o allow_v every_o man_n to_o frame_v and_o mould_n a_o religion_n according_a to_o his_o own_o humour_n and_o be_v the_o more_o confirm_v in_o this_o when_o i_o observe_v what_o strange_a mystery_n the_o doctor_n himself_o have_v learn_v from_o this_o acquaintance_n with_o christ_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a without_o this_o he_o can_v never_o have_v learn_v either_o from_o scripture_n

doctrine_n i_o there_o reject_v and_o in_o what_o sense_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o god_n justice_n as_o represent_v he_o as_o fierce_a and_o savage_a as_o the_o worst_a of_o being_n such_o a_o notion_n of_o justice_n as_o disparage_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o it_o be_v to_o gratify_v revenge_n and_o to_o appease_v a_o furious_a and_o merciless_a deity_n which_o notion_n at_o first_o fright_v socinus_n out_o of_o his_o wit_n and_o make_v he_o rather_o choose_v to_o deny_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n than_o to_o believe_v any_o thing_n so_o unworthy_a of_o god_n though_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n that_o we_o need_v do_v neither_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o justice_n as_o disparage_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o the_o contrivance_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o if_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o god_n to_o punish_v sin_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o person_n in_o the_o world_n fit_a or_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v expiation_n for_o it_o but_o only_o christ_n there_o be_v require_v no_o great_a wisdom_n to_o make_v the_o choice_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o patience_n of_o god_n as_o represent_v it_o to_o be_v the_o effect_n only_o of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o revenge_n which_o be_v like_o the_o tameness_n of_o a_o angry_a man_n when_o his_o passion_n be_v over_o which_o be_v a_o unworthy_a conceit_n of_o the_o infinite_a love_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o mercy_n as_o represent_v god_n to_o be_v fond_a &_o easy_a to_o sinner_n while_o they_o continue_v so_o and_o i_o think_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o justice_n and_o mercy_n very_o unworthy_a of_o god_n which_o represent_v he_o more_o concern_v to_o punish_v sin_n than_o to_o reform_v it_o and_o be_v it_o not_o hard_o that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v scandalize_v with_o deny_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o blaspheme_a god_n mere_o for_o reject_v such_o doctrine_n as_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o when_o they_o be_v pursue_v to_o their_o just_a and_o natural_a consequence_n be_v down_o right_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a way_n to_o prevent_v the_o confutation_n of_o such_o doctrine_n for_o you_o can_v confute_v they_o without_o discover_v their_o blasphemy_n and_o whoever_o do_v so_o shall_v himself_o be_v charge_v as_o a_o blasphemer_n but_o to_o proceed_v i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o ●_o our_o union_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v unintelligible_a such_o as_o the_o great_a patron_n of_o it_o can_v explain_v nor_o any_o one_o else_o understand_v for_o since_o all_o our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n think_v that_o this_o be_v such_o a_o mystery_n as_o surpass_v humane_a knowledge_n for_o that_o on_o which_o the_o happiness_n of_o all_o man_n depend_v aught_o in_o reason_n to_o be_v so_o plain_a that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o all_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o our_o union_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o entitle_v we_o to_o all_o the_o personal_a excellency_n fullness_n beauty_n and_o to_o the_o personal_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o much_o as_o marriage_n entitle_v a_o woman_n to_o her_o husband_n estate_n that_o whatever_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v be_v as_o much_o reckon_v we_o when_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o he_o as_o if_o

natural_a union_n as_o make_v christ_n and_o believer_n one_o person_n that_o they_o be_v chri_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o absurd_a and_o dangerous_a heresy_n but_o neither_o our_o marriage_n

vast_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o notion_n for_o the_o first_o only_o make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o pardon_n and_o reward_n which_o make_v it_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o to_o entitle_v we_o to_o these_o blessing_n but_o the_o second_o make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n our_o personal_a righteousness_n which_o destroy_v the_o necessity_n of_o any_o inherent_a righteousness_n in_o ourselves_o but_o of_o this_o more_o hereafter_o i_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n whereby_o bad_a man_n may_v be_v nay_o must_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n while_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o sin_n for_o if_o it_o once_o be_v grant_v as_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v if_o
