in_o that_o light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n that_o have_v already_o shine_v into_o their_o heart_n for_o this_o new_a creation_n begin_v in_o light_a as_o the_o first_o do_v which_o the_o apostle_n take_v notice_n of_o 2_o cor._n 4._o 6._o god_n who_o command_v light_a to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n have_v shine_v into_o our_o heart_n and_o as_o he_o proceed_v in_o the_o first_o creation_n till_o the_o whole_a be_v make_v perfect_a so_o will_v he_o do_v in_o the_o new_a where_o he_o have_v begin_v a_o good_a work_n he_o will_v perfect_v it_o he_o will_v proceed_v from_o that_o first_o light_n of_o grace_n wherein_o he_o shine_v into_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o work_n in_o the_o eternal_a light_n of_o glory_n 4._o observe_v also_o that_o our_o reconciler_n to_o god_n be_v he_o that_o make_v the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n in_o col._n 1._o 1._o speak_v of_o christ_n as_o the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n vers_fw-la 16._o and_o then_o as_o our_o reconciler_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n v._o 20._o and_o have_v make_v peace_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n by_o he_o to_o reconcile_v all_o thing_n unto_o himself_o how_o may_v this_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n in_o christ_n blood_n see_v it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o make_v the_o world_n as_o it_o do_v manifest_a stupendous_a love_n that_o the_o creator_n shall_v die_v for_o his_o creature_n so_o it_o may_v assure_v we_o that_o his_o death_n must_v needs_o be_v infinite_o meritorious_a under_o the_o law_n the_o blood_n of_o creature_n be_v shed_v for_o the_o people_n but_o that_o can_v of_o itself_o merit_v nothing_o but_o now_o under_o the_o new-testament_n there_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o creator_n shed_v for_o we_o here_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o life_n himself_o die_v and_o he_o that_o give_v be_v to_o all_o thing_n empty_v himself_o and_o as_o it_o be_v make_v nothing_o what_o unspeakable_a merit_n must_v hence_o arise_v for_o we_o certain_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o creator_n must_v needs_o infinite_o exceed_v all_o demerit_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o as_o hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v a_o infinite_a merit_n so_o we_o may_v observe_v the_o fitness_n of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o creator_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o we_o who_o so_o fit_a to_o look_v after_o poor_a lose_a creature_n as_o he_o that_o make_v they_o he_o have_v the_o great_a property_n in_o we_o and_o therefore_o be_v concern_v most_o to_o look_v after_o we_o as_o when_o the_o sheep_n be_v wander_v the_o praprietor_n be_v the_o fit_a person_n to_o take_v care_n for_o the_o bring_v they_o home_o again_o so_o that_o as_o our_o creator_n he_o have_v not_o only_a jus_fw-la proprietatis_fw-la the_o right_n of_o property_n to_o redeem_v we_o but_o also_o jus_fw-la idoneitatis_fw-la the_o right_n of_o fitness_n also_o 5._o last_o we_o may_v hence_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o bounty_n and_o goodness_n of_o christ_n jesus_n our_o saviour_n we_o may_v see_v it_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v every_o where_o fill_v with_o the_o effect_n hereof_o when_o he_o make_v the_o world_n he_o show_v not_o only_o his_o power_n but_o the_o infinite_a benignity_n and_o goodness_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o this_o nature_n he_o have_v still_o whereby_o we_o may_v encourage_v ourselves_o to_o go_v to_o he_o for_o spiritual_a blessing_n behold_v the_o creation_n fill_v with_o his_o common_a blessing_n as_o from_o the_o affliction_n and_o temptation_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n we_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o go_v to_o he_o for_o succour_v when_o we_o be_v tempt_v and_o try_v so_o from_o the_o infinite_a benignity_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n shine_v forth_o in_o his_o creation_n we_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o ask_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n have_v he_o in_o his_o create_a goodness_n provide_v food_n for_o every_o creature_n when_o it_o be_v not_o ask_v and_o will_v he_o not_o give_v thou_o bread_n for_o thy_o soul_n when_o thou_o go_v and_o ask_v he_o for_o it_o do_v his_o goodness_n so_o free_o flow_v out_o to_o his_o whole_a creation_n and_o have_v that_o nature_n no_o goodness_n remain_v in_o it_o to_o his_o own_o people_n that_o be_v near_o to_o he_o than_o any_o other_o creature_n and_o be_v not_o only_a part_n of_o his_o natural_a but_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o new-creation_n which_o as_o it_o be_v spiritual_a be_v the_o better_a part_n of_o it_o but_o second_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o christ_n so_o also_o for_o he_o as_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o place_n assert_n col._n 1._o 16._o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o far_o he_o messiah_n it_o be_v usual_o say_v by_o the_o jew_n all_o
