very_o plain_a term_n of_o that_o great_a salvation_n which_o god_n shall_v one_o day_n manifest_a to_o the_o world_n and_o last_o of_o all_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o vineyard_n in_o the_o parable_n deal_v with_o his_o husbandman_n who_o after_o he_o have_v send_v servant_n one_o after_o another_o of_o different_a quality_n and_o degree_n at_o last_o send_v his_o own_o son_n so_o at_o last_o i_o say_v do_v the_o great_a lord_n of_o the_o world_n when_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o time_n be_v come_v send_v his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v his_o ambassador_n to_o mankind_n his_o own_o son_n who_o be_v the_o brightness_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o express_a image_n of_o his_o person_n if_o now_o as_o the_o apostle_n here_o argue_v if_o under_o the_o former_a dispensation_n when_o god_n only_o declare_v his_o will_n by_o angel_n or_o by_o prophet_n he_o be_v yet_o so_o severe_a that_o no_o transgression_n or_o disobedience_n escape_v without_o a_o just_a recompense_n of_o vengeance_n how_o can_v we_o escape_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a a_o salvation_n as_o that_o be_v which_o in_o these_o last_o day_n be_v preach_v by_o jesus_n christ_n how_o can_v we_o escape_v if_o these_o last_o and_o great_a method_n of_o god_n for_o our_o good_a and_o in_o which_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n be_v display_v i_o say_v if_o these_o have_v no_o effect_n upon_o we_o in_o order_n to_o the_o make_v we_o both_o holy_a and_o happy_a what_o teacher_n what_o instructer_n can_v we_o further_o expect_v what_o new_a light_n or_o assistance_n do_v we_o yet_o wait_v for_o can_v any_o one_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v set_v on_o foot_n some_o other_o new_a dispensation_n for_o the_o bring_n off_o those_o wretched_a people_n upon_o who_o this_o last_o can_v prevail_v nothing_o do_v we_o dream_v of_o another_o covenant_n or_o another_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n beside_o christ_n jesus_n do_v we_o fancy_v that_o god_n will_v send_v some_o other_o ambassador_n or_o saviour_n into_o the_o world_n after_o he_o have_v send_v his_o own_o son_n or_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v come_v a_o second_o time_n in_o humane_a flesh_n and_o again_o be_v crucify_v for_o we_o no_o certain_o god_n have_v afford_v the_o last_o and_o great_a mean_n for_o man_n salvation_n and_o no_o other_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v expect_v christ_n have_v once_o appear_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o to_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o love_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o will_v be_v appear_v the_o second_o time_n to_o their_o salvation_n but_o never_o will_v he_o appear_v again_o to_o make_v a_o new_a reconciliation_n for_o those_o man_n that_o be_v not_o reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o his_o first_o appearance_n to_o such_o as_o our_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o fearful_a expectation_n of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n to_o consume_v the_o adversary_n iii_o the_o three_o general_n point_v i_o be_o to_o insist_v on_o from_o the_o text_n be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o saviour_n appearance_n and_o that_o be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v the_o put_v away_o of_o sin_n once_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v he_o appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n every_o where_o assign_v as_o the_o business_n and_o design_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o run_v over_o all_o the_o particular_a text_n will_v be_v tedious_a in_o so_o plain_a a_o case_n i_o shall_v therefore_o only_o name_v one_o or_o two_o this_o be_v the_o account_n that_o s._n john_n give_v of_o his_o appearance_n 1._o ep._n ch._n 3._o you_o know_v say_v he_o that_o he_o be_v manifest_v to_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n and_o again_o this_o be_v the_o account_n that_o the_o angel_n give_v to_o joseph_n a_o little_a before_o his_o birth_n mat._n 1.20_o fear_v not_o say_v he_o to_o take_v unto_o thou_o marry_o thy_o wife_n for_o that_o which_o be_v conceive_v in_o she_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o she_o shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o son_n and_o thou_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n jesus_n for_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n he_o be_v call_v jesus_n because_o he_o be_v design_v by_o god_n to_o be_v our_o saviour_n for_o so_o much_o that_o word_n import_v and_o he_o be_v therefore_o our_o saviour_n because_o he_o save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n to_o put_v they_o away_o but_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v save_v from_o our_o sin_n or_o to_o have_v our_o sin_n put_v away_o since_o the_o salvation_n we_o have_v by_o christ_n do_v consist_v in_o this_o it_o be_v fit_a we_o shall_v a_o little_a more_o particular_o insist_v on_o it_o in_o answer_v therefore_o to_o this_o question_n we_o say_v that_o two_o thing_n be_v employ_v in_o christ_n put_v away_o sin_n first_o his_o save_n or_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o gild_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o they_o second_o his_o save_n or_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o they_o in_o these_o two_o thing_n consist_v the_o salvation_n obtain_v for_o we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o either_o of_o they_o be_v want_v or_o be_v not_o effect_v he_o will_v not_o be_v a_o complete_a saviour_n first_o christ_n appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o gild_n and_o punishment_n of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o procure_v for_o we_o the_o pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o it_o this_o be_v the_o salvation_n which_o zachary_n in_o his_o hymn_n foretell_v john_n baptist_n shall_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n luke_n 1_o to_o give_v knowledge_n of_o salvation_n to_o his_o people_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v that_o redemption_n of_o christ_n which_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o 1_o coloss._n 14._o in_o who_o we_o have_v redemption_n through_o his_o blood_n even_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o last_o s._n paul_n s_o sermon_n to_o the_o gentile_n be_v be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o man_n and_o brethren_n that_o through_o this_o man_n jesus_n christ_n be_v preach_v unto_o you_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o you_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n act_v 13._o and_o therefore_o much_o less_o certain_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o effect_n of_o these_o text_n be_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v sinner_n be_v conclude_v under_o sin_n be_v become_v guilty_a before_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v the_o most_o innocent_a person_n be_v not_o except_v all_o without_o exception_n have_v by_o their_o sin_n fall_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n mean_v now_o for_o the_o free_n themselves_o from_o the_o gild_n of_o these_o sin_n they_o have_v none_o nor_o be_v it_o possible_a they_o shall_v have_v for_o that_o whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o pleasure_n of_o he_o to_o who_o they_o have_v render_v themselves_o obnoxious_a and_o that_o be_v god_n the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n here_o therefore_o appear_v the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o kindness_n of_o our_o saviour_n the_o eternal_a word_n interpose_v and_o offer_v himself_o to_o become_v man_n and_o in_o that_o person_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o god_n accept_v the_o term_n and_o hereupon_o a_o covenant_n be_v make_v between_o god_n and_o mankind_n wherein_o god_n for_o his_o part_n upon_o account_n of_o this_o mediation_n of_o christ_n promise_v forgiveness_n of_o all_o sin_n to_o all_o true_a penitent_n all_o the_o world_n over_o o_o joyful_a tiding_n these_o what_o ease_n be_v here_o to_o wound_a conscience_n what_o comfort_n to_o despair_a sinner_n what_o encouragement_n to_o all_o man_n every_o where_o to_o repent_v if_o we_o consider_v mankind_n in_o their_o pure_a natural_n and_o as_o without_o christ_n jesus_n this_o plain_o be_v their_o case_n they_o do_v believe_v a_o supreme_a god_n and_o their_o reason_n it_o be_v likely_a will_v tell_v they_o that_o god_n be_v good_a and_o merciful_a but_o yet_o this_o reason_n can_v discover_v no_o more_o than_o god_n general_a goodness_n to_o they_o that_o all_o along_o endeavour_v to_o please_v and_o approve_v themselves_o too_o he_o but_o as_o for_o his_o willingness_n to_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v sinner_n especial_o those_o that_o have_v offend_v he_o by_o very_o grievous_a crime_n or_o live_v in_o a_o long_a habitual_a course_n of_o wickedness_n this_o they_o can_v not_o conclude_v from_o their_o reason_n nay_o if_o they_o do_v reason_n as_o they_o just_o may_v

devil_n and_o s._n paul_n likewise_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o therefore_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o purify_v to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o last_o s._n peter_n give_v the_o same_o account_n of_o his_o come_n act_v 3.26_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o therefore_o god_n raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n that_o be_v send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n for_o his_o raise_n up_o there_o speak_v of_o as_o any_o one_o will_v see_v that_o look_n into_o the_o context_n be_v not_o his_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a but_o his_o be_v manifest_v to_o mankind_n for_o here_o the_o apostle_n business_n be_v to_o apply_v that_o promise_n or_o prophesy_v of_o moses_n unto_o our_o saviour_n viz._n that_o god_n will_v in_o due_a he_o raise_v up_o to_o his_o people_n a_o prophet_n like_o unto_o he_o who_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v oblige_v to_o hearken_v to_o i_o say_v therefore_o god_n raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n i.e._n send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n that_o he_o may_v bless_v his_o people_n in_o turn_v every_o one_o of_o they_o from_o their_o iniquity_n this_o turn_v every_o one_o from_o their_o iniquity_n be_v the_o great_a end_n for_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v manifest_v unto_o mankind_n and_o indeed_o reason_n will_v teach_v we_o all_o this_o as_o well_o as_o revelation_n for_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n none_o can_v be_v true_o happy_a but_o those_o that_o be_v true_o pious_a and_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o proportion_n that_o any_o one_o be_v wicked_a or_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o his_o lust_n in_o the_o same_o degree_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v miserable_a so_o that_o if_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o in_o that_o mean_v either_o to_o make_v we_o happy_a or_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o be_v miserable_a there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o his_o first_o and_o principal_a design_n must_v be_v to_o root_v our_o of_o our_o nature_n all_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o to_o restore_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o our_o mind_n which_o consist_v in_o unchangeable_a purity_n and_o holiness_n and_o goodness_n away_o therefore_o with_o all_o those_o hypothesis_n that_o give_v such_o a_o account_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n as_o to_o make_v the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o it_o to_o be_v the_o free_v we_o from_o hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o purchase_v heaven_n and_o eternal_a life_n for_o we_o but_o without_o any_o respect_n have_v to_o the_o renew_v our_o nature_n or_o the_o make_v we_o sincere_o holy_a and_o virtuous_a all_o such_o account_n of_o christ_n undertake_n be_v monstrous_o unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a for_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o manifest_a affront_n they_o put_v upon_o god_n justice_n and_o holiness_n in_o make_v he_o the_o great_a patron_n of_o sin_n whilst_o they_o assert_v he_o to_o be_v the_o justifier_n of_o wicked_a man_n even_o whilst_o they_o continue_v wicked_a you_o can_v as_o i_o say_v but_o see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n how_o very_o much_o such_o doctrine_n do_v disparage_v the_o love_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o lessen_v his_o undertake_n for_o whilst_o he_o be_v here_o suppose_a to_o have_v redeem_a we_o only_o from_o his_o father_n wrath_n and_o the_o punishment_n consequent_a thereupon_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o the_o wickedness_n and_o impurity_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n which_o alone_o without_o the_o accession_n of_o any_o other_o external_a evil_n be_v a_o misery_n great_a enough_o he_o be_v hereby_o render_v but_o half_a a_o saviour_n one_o that_o free_v we_o indeed_o from_o a_o external_n evil_a but_o leave_v we_o irremediable_o expose_v to_o a_o internal_a one_o as_o grievous_a as_o the_o other_o one_o that_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o a_o gibbet_n or_o a_o executioner_n but_o can_v not_o or_o will_v not_o cure_v we_o of_o the_o inward_a sickness_n and_o malady_n under_o which_o we_o languish_v but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o what_o a_o absurd_a inconsistent_a notion_n this_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n give_v we_o of_o the_o happiness_n of_o mankind_n for_o whilst_o they_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n under_o the_o power_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n be_v capable_a of_o that_o happiness_n which_o christ_n purchase_v for_o we_o in_o the_o other_o world_n which_o happiness_n as_o both_o scripture_n and_o reason_n testify_v do_v chief_o consist_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o excellency_n and_o perfection_n they_o must_v at_o the_o same_o time_n suppose_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v render_v happy_a by_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o that_o of_o which_o he_o have_v no_o sense_n no_o perception_n or_o rather_o to_o speak_v proper_o that_o he_o be_v the_o happy_a creature_n alive_a in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o object_n to_o which_o he_o have_v the_o great_a a_o version_n and_o antipathy_n in_o the_o world_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o absurdity_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v when_o light_n can_v have_v communion_n with_o darkness_n when_o god_n can_v have_v fellowship_n with_o belial_n then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o can_v a_o wicked_a man_n a_o man_n that_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o love_v it_o he_o capable_a of_o that_o happiness_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o iv._o the_o four_o thing_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o from_o this_o text_n be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o our_o saviour_n bring_v to_o pass_v the_o great_a end_n of_o his_o appearance_n viz._n the_o put_v away_o of_o sin_n which_o mean_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o now_o once_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v he_o appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o two_o thing_n shall_v be_v do_v in_o order_n to_o a_o just_a discourse_n upon_o this_o point_n first_o to_o give_v a_o account_n how_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o mean_n for_o the_o put_v away_o of_o sin_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n i_o give_v that_o be_v the_o procure_v the_o pardon_n of_o it_o second_o how_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o put_v it_o away_o in_o the_o other_o sense_n that_o be_v the_o destroy_n or_o mortify_v it_o in_o we_o but_o these_o thing_n be_v foreign_a to_o our_o present_a business_n and_o more_o proper_a for_o the_o argument_n of_o a_o good-friday_n sermon_n i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o they_o but_o proceed_v to_o my_o last_o point_n v._o the_o five_o and_o last_o thing_n observable_a from_o the_o text_n be_v the_o difference_n of_o christ_n sacrifice_n whereby_o he_o put_v away_o sin_n from_o the_o moysaicall_a one_o which_o difference_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v here_o take_v notice_n of_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n be_v daily_o offer_v but_o christ_n offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o but_o once_o once_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chapter_n be_v discourse_v of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n he_o insist_o much_o on_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n the_o christian_n that_o own_v the_o gospel_n have_v but_o one_o sacrifice_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n once_o offer_v whereas_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v force_v to_o have_v many_o nay_o even_o the_o most_o solemn_a sacrifice_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o expiation_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v repeat_v once_o a_o year_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o my_o text._n but_o now_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o put_v by_o way_n of_o opposition_n to_o they_o that_o be_v but_o once_o offer_v and_o be_v never_o to_o be_v repeat_v this_o be_v the_o point_n with_o which_o he_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n two_o verse_n after_o my_o text_n christ_n say_v he_o be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o unto_o there_o that_o look_n for_o he_o shall_v be_v appear_v the_o second_o time_n unto_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o i_o insist_v on_o it_o now_o because_o all_o those_o that_o design_n on_o this_o day_n to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o let_v we_o from_o hence_o take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o service_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n we_o be_v not_o to_o pretend_v to_o offer_v christ_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o his_o father_n his_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o once_o to_o be_v offer_v and_o that_o be_v do_v 1600_o year_n ago_o and_o in_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n once_o offer_v all_o faithful_a christian_n and_o sincere_a
