saviour_n christ_n when_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o we_o ferche_fw-fr all_o thing_n from_o his_o manhood_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 6._o chap._n of_o s._n john_n verse_n 46._o i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o again_o in_o the_o 54._o verse_n of_o that_o same_o chapter_n he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o in_o the_o last_o day_n for_o my_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o by_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o life_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o world_n by_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o christ_n in_o his_o manhood_n be_v a_o creature_n and_o therefore_o have_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o but_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o he_o as_o to_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o to_o have_v in_o he_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n this_o come_v from_o the_o divine_a nature_n which_o dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v now_o the_o cause_n why_o all_o these_o be_v put_v into_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o from_o thence_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o they_o for_o solong_v as_o they_o have_v residence_n only_o in_o god_n we_o be_v so_o far_o remove_v from_o he_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n we_o can_v approach_v or_o come_v near_o unto_o he_o to_o draw_v out_o of_o he_o any_o drop_n of_o the_o same_o therefore_o though_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v we_o by_o this_o mean_n that_o god_n have_v put_v they_o into_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v come_v down_o near_o unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v lay_v fast_o hold_v of_o he_o yet_o nevertheless_o because_o the_o propriety_n of_o they_o remain_v still_o in_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o gift_n of_o they_o be_v here_o ascribe_v unto_o the_o power_n thereof_o four_o we_o be_v to_o note_v in_o this_o verse_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v brief_o set_v down_o the_o end_n and_o sum_n of_o religion_n and_o of_o all_o these_o gift_n when_o he_o say_v which_o pertain_v to_o life_n and_o godliness_n for_o in_o these_o two_o word_n unto_o which_o the_o other_o two_o do_v answer_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o verse_n glory_n and_o virtue_n all_o those_o gift_n be_v contain_v for_o that_o which_o he_o express_v first_o by_o life_n here_o by_o glory_n that_o which_o before_o he_o call_v godliness_n here_o he_o call_v virtue_n they_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v eternal_a felicity_n and_o life_n with_o glory_n and_o the_o way_n which_o we_o must_v pass_v through_o to_o the_o same_o which_o be_v godliness_n and_o virtue_n here_o we_o be_v to_o take_v great_a heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o sever_v or_o sunder_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n himself_o have_v so_o near_o couple_v and_o link_v together_o and_o this_o admonition_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o necessary_a because_o there_o be_v very_o many_o carnal_a professor_n and_o beastly_a abuser_n of_o christianity_n which_o do_v seem_v very_o willing_o and_o glad_o to_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v redemption_n and_o eternal_a life_n purchase_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o they_o make_v great_a boast_n that_o they_o look_v for_o their_o part_n in_o the_o same_o as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o &_o yet_o they_o look_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o this_o godliness_n and_o virtue_n through_o which_o we_o must_v pass_v un_fw-fr to_o it_o for_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o but_o as_o he_o say_v here_o to_o glory_n and_o virtue_n so_o that_o who_o soever_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v to_o know_v he_o aright_o and_o so_o to_o be_v make_v heir_n of_o eternal_a glory_n he_o have_v also_o garnish_v they_o with_o virtue_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n until_o such_o time_n therefore_o as_o there_o shall_v rise_v up_o a_o new_a peter_n which_o with_o contrary_a pen_n shall_v write_v a_o new_a and_o contrary_a gospel_n these_o man_n shall_v never_o assure_v themselves_o nor_o yet_o persuade_v other_o that_o they_o shall_v ever_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n see_v they_o go_v a_o quite_o contrary_a way_n 4_o whereby_o most_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o etc._n etc._n now_o he_o show_v by_o what_o mean_n or_o by_o what_o instrument_n the_o divine_a power_n do_v bestow_v those_o gift_n upon_o we_o and_o the_o same_o be_v as_o he_o call_v they_o most_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v call_v to_o glory_n and_o virtue_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n these_o be_v call_v most_o great_a &_o precious_a because_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o greatness_n &_o dignity_n be_v incomparable_a for_o what_o can_v we_o seek_v out_o to_o match_v with_o this_o that_o here_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o namely_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n deliverance_n &_o freedom_n from_o the_o thraldom_n of_o satan_n &_o power_n of_o darkness_n that_o of_o damn_a creatute_n &_o child_n of_o his_o wrath_n he_o have_v give_v we_o this_o high_a dignity_n to_o be_v his_o son_n &_o daughter_n &_o as_o s._n john_n say_v reve._n i._n christ_n have_v wash_v we_o in_o his_o blood_n and_o make_v we_o king_n and_o priest_n to_o god_n his_o father_n what_o a_o change_n be_v this_o from_o the_o low_a misery_n even_o in_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n to_o be_v lift_v up_o to_o the_o high_a dignity_n to_o be_v glorify_v with_o god_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n because_o therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v the_o great_a &_o most_o honourable_a s._n peter_n call_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n most_o great_a &_o precious_a but_o wherefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n ascribe_v all_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o when_o he_o say_v that_o by_o these_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n he_o include_v all_o because_o it_o be_v by_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o be_v call_v home_o to_o the_o lord_n for_o although_o he_o utter_v his_o will_n unto_o we_o in_o his_o law_n yet_o therein_o he_o show_v himself_o none_o otherwise_o unto_o we_o but_o as_o a_o severe_a judge_n we_o can_v see_v nothing_o there_o but_o the_o dreadful_a curse_n &_o vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n his_o brightness_n appear_v therein_o but_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v the_o same_o but_o be_v dazzle_a with_o the_o sight_n thereof_o amaze_v &_o confound_v so_o that_o we_o can_v but_o run_v from_o he_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v terrible_a contrariwise_o in_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o the_o face_n of_o his_o son_n where_o he_o show_v a_o exceed_a glory_n but_o with_o such_o fatherly_a love_n &_o pity_n such_o abundance_n of_o mercy_n and_o sweet_a allurement_n by_o which_o he_o call_v we_o and_o draw_v we_o to_o himself_o that_o here_o we_o be_v able_a to_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o open_a face_n and_o here_o his_o countenance_n be_v so_o cheerful_a that_o the_o soul_n which_o have_v once_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n see_v but_o a_o glimpse_n thereof_o be_v so_o inflame_a and_o ravish_v with_o desire_n of_o a_o near_o and_o full_a sight_n that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v satisfy_v for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n make_v comparison_n between_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2._o corinthian_n 3._o term_v that_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o the_o letter_n which_o kill_v and_o this_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o give_v life_n which_o by_o the_o way_n also_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v because_o there_o be_v among_o we_o at_o this_o day_n many_o frantic_a brain_n namely_o those_o of_o the_o family_n of_o love_n which_o call_v the_o true_a &_o sound_a interpret_n of_o the_o word_n the_o literal_a sense_n or_o the_o letter_n which_o kill_v &_o their_o own_o gross_a and_o foolish_a allegory_n the_o spirit_n not_o know_v that_o s._n peter_n speak_v of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n here_o also_o appear_v of_o what_o price_n and_o dignity_n the_o gospel_n be_v for_o who_o can_v set_v forth_o the_o worthiness_n of_o this_o when_o he_o say_v that_o by_o these_o promise_n we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o be_v indeed_o at_o the_o first_o create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o so_o partaker_n of_o his_o nature_n but_o we_o lose_v all_o this_o with_o our_o first_o parent_n &_o in_o steed_n thereof_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o devilish_a nature_n bear_v his_o image_n
