be_v a_o stand_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o temple_n morning_n and_o evening_n and_o that_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o lamb._n now_o therefore_o to_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o daily_a

for_o proof_n of_o this_o take_v the_o apostle_n exhortation_n ephe._n 5.2_o walk_v in_o love_n as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o a_o offering_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n here_o be_v three_o thing_n considerable_a first_o he_o do_v not_o say_v who_o have_v redeem_v we_o but_o to_o show_v his_o great_a love_n unto_o we_o who_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o he_o do_v not_o say_v who_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o our_o sin_n yet_o he_o say_v so_o in_o gal._n 1.4_o who_o give_v himself_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o who_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o why_o to_o show_v who_o they_o be_v that_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o as_o sinner_n again_o he_o say_v here_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o a_o offering_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n not_o only_o a_o offering_n but_o a_o sacrifice_n too_o so_o that_o this_o first_o proposition_n be_v clear_o prove_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n when_o he_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o do_v offer_v up_o himself_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n second_o as_o he_o do_v offer_v up_o himself_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n so_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o this_o altar_n this_o sacrifice_n the_o sin_n of_o all_o believer_n be_v then_o lay_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n those_o that_o do_v now_o believe_v or_o shall_v hereafter_o believe_v they_o be_v all_o then_o lay_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n look_v into_o the_o 53._o of_o isaiah_n ver_fw-la 6._o all_o we_o like_v sheep_n have_v go_v astray_o and_o have_v turn_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o way_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o that_o which_o god_n lay_v on_o shall_v never_o be_v take_v off_o no_o man_n shall_v take_v it_o off_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o yea_o our_o iniquity_n be_v not_o only_o say_v to_o be_v lay_v on_o he_o but_o to_o use_v the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v use_v for_o the_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v say_v he_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n as_o the_o goat_n bear_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o himself_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n moreover_o he_o do_v not_o only_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o be_v make_v a_o sinner_n or_o account_v a_o sinner_n only_o for_o we_o but_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o all_o our_o iniquity_n be_v lay_v on_o he_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n and_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n thus_o brief_o the_o second_o proposition_n be_v clear_v that_o when_o he_o do_v thus_o offer_v up_o himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n the_o sin_n of_o all_o believer_n be_v then_o lay_v on_o he_o three_o when_o the_o sin_n of_o believer_n be_v lay_v on_o he_o than_o he_o do_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n and_o

the_o 4._o he_o answer_v and_o speak_v unto_o those_o that_o stand_v before_o he_o say_v take_v away_o the_o filthy_a garment_n from_o he_o and_o unto_o he_o he_o say_v behold_v i_o have_v cause_v

that_o be_v bring_v against_o joshua_n by_o satan_n for_o his_o filthy_a garment_n and_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n christ_n now_o if_o a_o poor_a soul_n fall_v into_o any_o sin_n defile_v his_o garment_n satan_n he_o come_v in_o and_o take_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o he_o stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o accuse_v by_o reason_n of_o this_o filthy_a garment_n but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n he_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n take_v up_o the_o cause_n and_o answer_n to_o the_o accusation_n true_a lord_n this_o poor_a soul_n indeed_o have_v

thus_o the_o lord_n christ_n step_v in_o to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o answer_n to_o all_o those_o accusation_n that_o be_v bring_v against_o he_o to_o god_n the_o father_n this_o be_v the_o three_o

work_n of_o a_o advocate_n differ_v from_o the_o work_n of_o a_o petitioner_n a_o advocate_n do_v not_o petition_v the_o judge_n but_o a_o advocate_n he_o tell_v the_o judge_n what_o be_v law_n what_o be_v right_a &_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o make_v intercession_n be_v there_o as_o our_o advocate_n lord_n say_v he_o this_o man_n he_o

of_o equity_n and_o in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n i_o do_v here_o call_v for_o this_o man_n pardon_n thus_o christ_n intercede_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v brief_o wherein_o the_o intercession_n of_o

so_o take_v all_o together_o as_o one_o present_v it_o unto_o god_n the_o father_n for_o our_o acceptance_n and_o this_o he_o do_v now_o as_o our_o highpriest_n for_o if_o we_o look_v into_o this_o

it_o be_v a_o agreement_n between_o god_n the_o father_n and_o christ_n the_o second_o person_n before_o the_o world_n be_v that_o in_o due_a time_n he_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n take_v

come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o die_v for_o they_o what_o a_o mighty_a trust_n be_v here_o that_o so_o many_o hundred_o thousand_o soul_n shall_v be_v save_v upon_o a_o bare_a word_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o die_v for_o they_o afterward_o again_o the_o trust_n appear_v in_o this_o that_o he_o be_v make_v when_o he_o do_v come_v into_o the_o world_n the_o great_a lord-treasurer_n of_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o comfort_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v out_o unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n when_o pharaoh_n trust_v joseph_n all_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n

to_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n the_o great_a gospel-blessing_n be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o be_v a_o gospel-blessing_n indeed_o well_o ques_n but_o what_o do_v christ_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_n it_o be_v observable_a answ_n 1_o that_o when_o any_o superior_a do_v bless_v a_o father_n do_v bless_v his_o child_n or_o the_o like_a he_o do_v observe_v what_o be_v the_o choice_a mercy_n and_o good_a in_o those_o time_n and_o he_o do_v wish_v that_o unto_o his_o child_n or_o unto_o his_o inferior_a and_o so_o in_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n time_n the_o choice_n good_a it_o be_v the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o when_o they_o do_v bless_v their_o child_n they_o wish_v unto_o they_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n so_o now_o when_o our_o jord_n jesus_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v any_o man_n observe_v that_o the_o choice_a mercy_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o favour_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o a_o man_n heart_n he_o do_v wis_v all_o this_o good_a unto_o he_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n lord_n let_v this_o poor_a soul_n

second_o place_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o priest_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o they_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v 6.27_o numb_a 6.27_o they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o bless_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v a_o man_n he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v he_o good_a the_o lord_n cause_v his_o face_n for_o to_o shine_v upon_o that_o soul_n in_o a_o way_n of_o wish_v but_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v such_o a_o soul_n to_o be_v bless_v three_o when_o the_o priest_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v the_o people_n bless_v but_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o priest_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o binding-power_n it_o have_v the_o power_n force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o a_o absolution_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n go_v and_o whosoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o shall_v be_v remit_v i_o will_v stand_v by_o you_o in_o it_o so_o say_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o same_o place_n the_o 6._o of_o number_n on_o this_o wise_a shall_v you_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o and_o at_o the_o 27._o verse_n they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o will_v blessethem_fw-mi i_o will_v stand_v by_o they_o in_o this_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v a_o man_n to_o be_v bless_v but_o he_o do_v absolve_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n &_o say_v he_o by_o authority_n that_o be_v give_v to_o i_o from_o my_o father_n the_o key_n that_o be_v put_v into_o my_o hand_n i_o do_v bound_v this_o blessing_n upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n further_o the_o priest_n when_o he_o bless_v indeed_o he_o can_v wish_v well_o and_o he_o can_v pronounce_v a_o man_n bless_v and_o he_o may_v absolve_v but_o he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o he_o can_v not_o confer_v the_o blessing_n he_o can_v not_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n but_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n beyond_o all_o the_o high-priest_n that_o ever_o be_v before_o he_o in_o this_o respect_n too_o where_o he_o do_v bless_v he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n in_o the_o five_o place_n this_o our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v god_n and_o man_n look_v how_o god_n bless_v so_o do_v he_o bless_v in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o god_n the_o father_n bless_v he_o say_v unto_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o blessed_v increase_n and_o multiply_v still_o when_o he_o blessed_v increase_v and_o multiply_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o high-preist_n when_o he_o come_v to_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n or_o pronounce_v he_o bless_v or_o beslow_v a_o good_a thing_n upon_o he_o but_o say_v he_o o_o soul_n multiply_v in_o this_o good_a the_o lord_n increase_v thy_o grace_n and_o thy_o gift_n and_o thy_o

wherein_o it_o consist_v and_o what_o our_o highpriest_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_v the_o people_n but_o second_o quest_n 2_o do_v this_o blessing_n proper_o or_o special_o belong_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n yes_o answ_n for_o he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n he_o and_o none_o else_o make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o the_o world_n

his_o child_n the_o king_n blessed_v his_o subject_n and_o the_o priest_n blessed_v the_o people_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v our_o father_n the_o everlasting_a father_n he_o be_v

above_o all_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n but_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n quest_n 3_o and_o incline_v unto_o it_o yes_o answ_n he_o be_v very_o

abundance_n of_o blessing_n christ_n scatter_v among_o the_o people_n when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n you_o do_v read_v that_o ever_o he_o curse_v any_o man_n formal_o curse_v he_o once_o indeed_o he_o pronounce_v a_o curse_n but_o it_o fall_v upon_o a_o barren_a figtree_n not_o upon_o a_o man_n but_o take_v your_o bibles_n and_o turn_v over_o from_o leaf_n to_o leaf_n and_o see_v how_o frequent_a he_o be_v in_o blessing_n and_o consider_v whether_o you_o do_v read_v in_o all_o the_o bible_n of_o any_o preacher_n or_o prophet_n
that_o ever_o in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o preach_n pronounce_v so_o many_o blessing_n as_o christ_n do_v he_o begin_v blessing_n bless_a be_v the_o poor_a and_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o mourn_v

frequent_a in_o blessing_n than_o ever_o any_o preacher_n be_v in_o all_o his_o sermon_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o because_o this_o work_n of_o bless_v the_o people_n be_v a_o work_n wherein_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n be_v much_o delight_v a_o work_n whereunto_o he_o be_v most_o in_o cline_v well_o but_o do_v he_o do_v it_o quest_n 4_o yes_o he_o do_v do_v it_o and_o do_v it_o full_o answ_n the_o same_o place_n that_o i_o name_v will_v prove_v it_o the_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o

say_v he_o he_o have_v do_v it_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o he_o have_v do_v it_o by_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v say_v we_o do_v see_v that_o man_n be_v thus_o blessed_v by_o

he_o do_v increase_v and_o multiply_v but_o upon_o this_o account_n how_o few_o be_v there_o in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v blessed_v by_o christ_n for_o answer_v answ_n 1_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n sometime_o unto_o a_o christian_a for_o to_o discern-this_a blessing_n of_o christ_n you_o can_v see_v the_o bough_n fruit_n body_n bark_n of_o the_o tree_n but_o if_o you_o will_v see_v the_o

it_o do_v not_o lie_v open_a to_o every_o one_o view_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n do_v not_o bless_v as_o man_n bless_v and_o so_o his_o blessing_n be_v very_o much_o hide_v from_o our_o eye_n he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o we_o do_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n do_v if_o the_o world_n see_v a_o rich_a man_n it_o pronounce_v he_o bless_v oh_o there_o be_v a_o

pronounce_v they_o happy_a and_o bless_a but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v as_o jacob_n do_v when_o joseph_n bring_v his_o two_o son_n to_o jacob_n to_o be_v blessed_v by_o he_o he_o set_v

be_v bring_v before_o he_o a_o proud_a pharisee_fw-mi and_o a_o poor_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n the_o pharisee_n come_v unto_o the_o right-hand_a of_o christ_n &_o think_v for_o to_o carry_v the_o

blessing_n to_o they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v all_o his_o curser_n to_o be_v blesser_n it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o all_o a_o man_n curse_n

to_o get_v he_o out_o when_o he_o be_v come_v into_o it_o if_o he_o get_v into_o the_o town_n and_o get_v into_o the_o marketplace_n it_o will_v be_v a_o more_o hard_a thing_n to_o get_v he_o out_o

the_o devil_n do_v use_v sometime_o to_o tempt_v a_o man_n to_o alter_v his_o condition_n so_o that_o by_o your_o very_a avoid_v a_o temptation_n you_o fall_v into_o it_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o three_o if_o temptation_n do_v arise_v observe_v the_o temptation_n and_o know_v that_o there_o be_v some_o suitable_a disposition_n of_o your_o own_o wherein_o the_o devil_n do_v lay_v that_o

he_o seldom_o tempt_v but_o he_o lay_v his_o temptation_n in_o our_o own_o disposition_n something_o suitable_a unto_o the_o temptation_n so_o when_o david_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o number_v the_o people_n than_o the_o devil_n stand_v up_o and_o provoke_v he_o to_o number_v the_o people_n suitable_a to_o his_o own_o disposition_n when_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n be_v a_o hungry_a than_o he_o come_v and_o tempt_v he_o to_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n when_o again_o he_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o then_o say_v the_o devil_n instrument_n if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o come_v down_o and_o show_v thyself_o he_o do_v usual_o lay_v his_o temptation_n in_o our_o own_o disposition_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v first_o observe_v the_o temptation_n then_o know_v you_o have_v a_o disposition_n subservient_fw-fr thereunto_o and_o the_o devil_n lay_v his_o temptation_n in_o that_o disposition_n and_o present_o fall_v to_o work_v and_o labour_n to_o file_v and_o pare_v off_o more_o and_o more_o that_o disposition_n in_o jesus_n christ_n four_o when_o a_o temptation_n arise_v do_v it_o always_o stand_v to_o answer_v it_o in_o the_o kind_n but_o sometime_o turn_v your_o mind_n and_o thought_n off_o it_o to_o another_o object_n it_o be_v in_o our_o

not_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o person_n depart_v but_o fall_v into_o conference_n about_o some_o other_o good_a thing_n different_a and_o by_o that_o time_n his_o heart_n be_v settle_v upon_o some_o other_o thing_n than_o you_o may_v come_v back_o again_o and_o speak_v of_o the_o friend_n depart_v without_o grieve_v of_o he_o but_o otherwise_o even_o in_o your_o comfort_n you_o fetch_v out_o tear_n and_o so_o i_o say_v in_o regard_n of_o temptation_n the_o way_n to_o avoid_v temptation_n be_v not_o always_o to_o apply_v a_o salve_n direct_o pertinent_a to_o the_o temptation_n but_o turn_v off_o your_o mind_n and_o your_o thought_n to_o some_o other_o good_a object_n and_o by_o that_o time_n your_o mind_n be_v settle_v upon_o other_o object_n you_o will_v be_v easy_o able_a to_o meet_v

you_o ask_v i_o wherein_o the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o christ_n be_v express_v unto_o his_o people_n under_o their_o temptation_n i_o answer_v answ_n 1_o first_o in_o the_o order_n of_o their_o

satan_n can_v put_v the_o least_o dram_n into_o any_o temptation_n but_o as_o it_o be_v measure_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v plain_o in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 10._o chapter_n and_o the_o 13._o verse_n but_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a etc._n etc._n that_o

according_a to_o their_o ability_n second_o as_o he_o do_v measure_n out_o their_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n so_o he_o do_v also_o mortify_v their_o temptation_n and_o weaken_v they_o as_o they_o come_v through_o his_o hand_n mortify_v they_o before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o his_o disciple_n and_o people_n before_o they_o do_v come_v at_o you_o and_o upon_o this_o account_n partly_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o christ_n that_o give_v victory_n because_o our_o enemy_n be_v overcome_v before_o he_o strike_v and_o his_o blow_n be_v

temptation_n before_o it_o do_v come_v at_o we_o but_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o he_o may_v be_v discern_v and_o so_o overcome_v satan_n tempt_v adam_n and_o eve_n but_o he_o tempt_v in_o a_o serpent_n and_o so_o adam_n may_v easy_o have_v discern_v the_o hand_n of_o satan_n in_o it_o for_o adam_n know_v all_o the_o creature_n he_o give_v they_o

in_o the_o business_n and_o so_o now_o though_o god_n do_v suffer_v satan_n to_o tempt_v his_o people_n yet_o he_o do_v cause_n satan_n so_o to_o lay_v his_o temptation_n as_o that_o the_o black_a
