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

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

it_o full_o five_o according_a to_o our_o method_n how_o all_o this_o do_v conduce_v unto_o our_o comfort_n and_o unto_o our_o holiness_n first_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n quest_n 1_o and_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v and_o wherein_o it_o consist_v i_o answer_v first_o in_o the_o general_n that_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n answ_n and_o of_o christ_n consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n especial_o and_o not_o in_o temporal_a and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n bless_a be_v the_o

that_o do_v befall_v man_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o in_o outward_a affliction_n and_o bodily_a trouble_n so_o much_o as_o in_o spiritual_a misery_n blindness_n of_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o consist_v much_o in_o outward_a thing_n as_o in_o spiritual_a who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n indeed_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o moses_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n he_o bless_v they_o much_o in_o temporal_a blessing_n in_o the_o 28._o of_o deuteronomy_n and_o the_o 2._o verse_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o and_o overtake_v thou_o if_o thou_o shall_v hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o

and_o thy_o store_n thus_o he_o go_v on_o in_o outward_a blessing_n but_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o gospel_n and_o consider_v the_o blessing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o lay_v they_o together_o with_o moses_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o matthew_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n etc._n etc._n bless_a be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n bless_v be_v those_o that_o mourn_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v comfort_v indeed_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o earth_n come_v be_v at_o the_o 5._o vers_n but_o he_o return_v again_o to_o spiritual_a blessing_n bless_a be_v they_o which_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v fill_v bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o

he_o that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n man_n be_v more_o spiritual_a than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o gospel-blessing_n they_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n every_o thing_n give_v and_o communicate_v to_o another_o according_a to_o what_o it_o have_v itself_o the_o sun_n communicate_v light_a unto_o the_o world_n because_o it_o have_v light_v itself_o and_o man_n communicate_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n unto_o his_o child_n because_o he_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n himself_o so_o our_o lord_n christ_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o communicate_v according_a unto_o what_o he_o have_v himself_o and_o his_o blessing_n especial_o consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o he_o do_v bless_v indeed_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n that_o be_v mix_v with_o temporal_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o abraham_n so_o now_o

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

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o beavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n nor_o only_o meritorious_o but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_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

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

and_o take_v pain_n for_o it_o this_o blessing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o and_o if_o you_o will_v see_v this_o you_o must_v dig_v and_o take_v pain_n to_o see_v it_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 ephraim_n the_o young_a at_o the_o left_a hand_n of_o jacob_n and_o he_o set_v manasses_n the_o elder_a at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o jacob_n that_o jacob_n may_v give_v the_o right-hand_a blessing_n to_o the_o elder_a and_o the_o left-hand_a blessing_n to_o the_o young_a but_o when_o joseph_n have_v set_v they_o thus_o before_o jacob_n jacob_n cross_v hand_n and_o he_o turn_v the_o right-hand_a blessing_n to_o the_o young_a so_o two_o man_n be_v bring_v before_o christ_n a_o rich_a man_n it_o may_v be_v and_o a_o poor_a man_n and_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n the_o rich_a man_n must_v carry_v the_o blessing_n oh_o but_o our_o lord_n christ_n he_o cross_v hand_n and_o he_o lay_v the_o blessing_n upon_o the_o young_a brother_n many_o time_n and_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o ordinance_n two_o sort_n of_o ordinance_n be_v bring_v before_o christ_n god_n ordinance_n and_o man_n ordinance_n and_o man_n ordinance_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o elder_a brother_n and_o god_n ordinance_n the_o young_a brother_n and_o both_o these_o be_v bring_v before_o christ_n for_o a_o blessing_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o world_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n he_o cross_v hand_n and_o he_o lay_v the_o blessing_n upon_o the_o young_a brother_n in_o this_o respect_n and_o so_o two_o man_n 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 but_o the_o lord_n christ_n cross_n hand_n &_o lay_v the_o right-hand_a blessing_n upon_o the_o poor_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o proud_a pharisee_fw-mi the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n bless_v again_o as_o he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n bless_v answ_n 2_o so_o he_o do_v not_o bless_v always_o as_o professor_n bless_v professor_n they_o do_v ordinary_o bless_v man_n according_a unto_o their_o outward_a privilege_n gospel_n and_o church-priviledge_n oh_o say_v the_o woman_n unto_o christ_n blessed_n be_v the_o

and_o keep_v it_o and_o do_v my_o commandment_n you_o bless_v according_a to_o outward_a privilege_n i_o do_v go_v that_o way_n of_o blessing_n say_v christ_n he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o professor_n bless_v always_o three_o he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o godly_a man_n do_v bless_v always_o answ_n 3_o as_o gracious_a man_n bless_v not_o always_o for_o you_o that_o be_v godly_a you_o pronounce_v such_o a_o man_n bless_v as_o have_v much_o grace_n and_o have_v assurance_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o one_o that_o have_v strong_a and_o great_a part_n and_o able_a to_o

do_v not_o always_o bless_v thus_o blessed_n be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n say_v he_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o mourn_v he_o do_v say_v bless_a be_v those_o that_o rejoice_v or_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o have_v the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n or_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o be_v strong_a in_o grace_n no_o but_o do_v thou_o know_v a_o poor_a weak_a christian_a a_o mourn_a soul_n like_o a_o dove_n of_o the_o valley_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o bless_v he_o thus_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o we_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v always_o as_o professor_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v always_o as_o godly_a man_n bless_v and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o his_o blessing_n be_v hide_v children_n when_o they_o be_v very_o young_a be_v often_o blessed_v by_o their_o parent_n and_o they_o do_v mind_n it_o or_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o child_n of_o two_o

christ_n do_v always_o bless_v his_o people_n only_o there_o be_v several_a time_n special_a season_n that_o he_o give_v out_o his_o blessing_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o those_o time_n a_o little_a that_o so_o you_o may_v come_v for_o his_o blessing_n while_o his_o hand_n be_v in_o as_o it_o be_v so_o that_o you_o may_v be_v crown_v with_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n first_o when_o christ_n our_o highpriest_n do_v see_v that_o a_o man_n be_v weak_a in_o grace_n or_o weak_a in_o gift_n and_o have_v some_o work_n or_o service_n for_o he_o to_o do_v some_o employment_n to_o call_v he_o forth_o unto_o then_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v bless_v he_o there_o be_v two_o time_n especial_o as_o i_o remember_v that_o the_o lord_n speak_v those_o word_n concern_v man_n increase_n and_o multiply_v once_o in_o the_o beginning_n when_o he_o have_v make_v man_n and_o woman_n and_o once_o in_o the_o 9_o
of_o genesis_n when_o he_o have_v bring_v noah_n out_o of_o the_o ark_n why_o do_v he_o rather_o choose_v for_o to_o speak_v those_o word_n increase_v and_o multiply_v at_o these_o two_o time_n especial_o rather_o than_o at_o any_o other_o time_n in_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a stook_v of_o mankind_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o design_n upon_o man_n to_o make_v use_n of_o he_o in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o beginning_n say_v he_o increase_n and_o multiply_v but_o afterward_o that_o the_o flood_n have_v sweep_v away_o man_n noah_n and_o his_o family_n be_v preserve_v when_o he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n the_o lord_n have_v yet_o a_o further_a design_n upon_o man_n to_o use_v he_o he_o renew_v those_o word_n again_o increase_n and_o multiply_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n see_v that_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v upright_o and_o sincere_a with_o he_o and_o he_o have_v some_o work_n and_o service_n for_o he_o to_o do_v than_o the_o lord_n come_v forth_o and_o bless_v he_o o_o soul_n increase_n and_o multiply_v increase_v in_o thy_o gift_n and_o grace_n and_o multiply_v that_o be_v one_o again_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v bless_v weak_a gift_n and_o grace_n when_o he_o intend_v to_o use_v they_o so_o also_o when_o as_o he_o have_v make_v use_n of_o a_o man_n when_o a_o man_n have_v do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o do_v it_o to_o purpose_n than_o the_o lord_n bless_v that_o man_n melchisedec_n a_o great_a type_n of_o christ_n here_o when_o abraham_n have_v be_v upon_o a_o great_a service_n slay_v king_n and_o resoved_a lot_n than_o melchisedec_n the_o highpriest_n come_v forth_o and_o bless_v he_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n see_v that_o a_o poor_a soul_n have_v be_v upon_o his_o work_n upon_o his_o service_n and_o have_v do_v his_o work_n faithful_o then_o he_o come_v forth_o and_o bless_v that_o soul_n o_o soul_n live_v for_o ever_o again_o as_o he_o do_v bless_v at_o this_o time_n when_o a_o man_n have_v do_v his_o work_n so_o also_o when_o a_o man_n be_v willing_a for_o to_o leave_v all_o his_o relation_n and_o natural_a engagement_n for_o to_o follow_v he_o to_o cleave_v close_o unto_o he_o and_o to_o his_o way_n and_o ordinance_n the_o lord_n bless_v abraham_n thou_o shall_v be_v bless_v in_o blessing_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v be_v bless_v upon_o what_o occasion_n abraham_n say_v he_o get_v thou_o out_o of_o thy_o country_n and_o go_v to_o a_o land_n and_o place_n that_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o and_o abraham_n do_v so_o abraham_n pull_v up_o his_o tent_n and_o go_v after_o the_o lord_n and_o leave_v his_o own_o relation_n and_o thereupon_o the_o lord_n fall_v upon_o he_o and_o blessed_v he_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n see_v a_o soul_n willing_a even_o to_o trample_v upon_o his_o relation_n for_o to_o follow_v he_o willing_a to_o leave_v all_o natural_a engagement_n for_o to_o be_v his_o

in_o your_o affliction_n you_o will_v take_v heed_n of_o those_o sin_n that_o you_o be_v most_o apt_a unto_o in_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n so_o do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o temptation_n

that_o be_v tempt_v why_o then_o be_v any_o damn_v some_o man_n will_v not_o come_v unto_o he_o answ_n you_o will_v not_o come_v unto_o i_o that_o you_o may_v have_v life_n some_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o make_v a_o half_a christ_n of_o he_o they_o will_v come_v under_o great_a temptation_n than_o they_o be_v afraid_a and_o then_o they_o despair_v they_o will_v come_v under_o small_a temptation_n than_o they_o despise_v but_o for_o middle_a temptation_n those_o they_o will_v come_v to_o christ_n for_o succour_v in_o and_o thus_o they_o make_v a_o half_a christ_n of_o he_o some_o come_v to_o

in_o time_n of_o temptation_n for_o i_o confess_v thus_o by_o this_o temptation_n do_v satan_n strike_v at_o my_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v my_o faith_n to_o fail_v in_o this_o case_n let_v a_o man_n heart_n speak_v thus_o answ_n first_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v command_v i_o to_o believe_v than_o the_o promise_n belong_v to_o i_o for_o i_o can_v believe_v unless_o i_o apply_v the_o

for_o i_o not_o to_o believe_v not_o therefore_o the_o lord_n command_v i_o to_o believe_v but_o believe_v i_o can_v unless_o i_o apply_v the_o promise_n therefore_o god_n will_v have_v i_o to_o apply_v the_o promise_n therefore_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o and_o i_o may_v apply_v it_o again_o let_v the_o heart_n speak_v thus_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v give_v out_o a_o threaten_v

the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o for_o i_o have_v apply_v it_o oh_o i_o remember_v how_o my_o soul_n have_v lie_v tremble_v before_o the_o threaten_v the_o lord_n know_v i_o have_v often_o

there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o this_o temptation_n when_o i_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n than_o satan_n tell_v i_o the_o threaten_v do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o and_o then_o he_o tell_v i_o

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 temptation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o temptation_n befall_v any_o of_o his_o but_o he_o measure_v out_o the_o temptation_n according_a to_o their_o ability_n as_o a_o wise_a phifitian_n do_v not_o give_v the_o same_o physic_n unto_o every_o person_n but_o consider_v every_o one_o ability_n that_o which_o he_o give_v to_o one_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o another_o he_o consider_v first_o the_o ability_n of_o his_o patient_n and_o prescribe_v according_o now_o though_o our_o saviour_n christ_n dont_fw-fr direct_a satan_n for_o to_o tempt_v yet_o he_o do_v order_v he_o in_o tempt_v and_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 you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o 139_o psal_n 139_o the_o psalmist_n david_n say_v search_v i_o o_o lord_n and_o prove_v i_o that_o be_v say_v gregory_n first_n o_o lord_n look_v upon_o my_o strength_n and_o then_o if_o i_o must_v be_v tempt_v suffer_v i_o to_o be_v tempt_v according_a to_o my_o ability_n christ_n do_v measure_n out_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o his_o people_n 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 break_v as_o he_o strike_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n concern_v our_o saviour_n that_o he_o have_v spoil_v principality_n and_o power_n and_o make_v a_o show_n of_o they_o open_o upon_o the_o cross_n all_o your_o temptation_n the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o they_o be_v spoil_v upon_o the_o cross_n there_o be_v no_o temptation_n befall_v any_o of_o god_n people_n but_o it_o be_v mortify_v and_o weaken_v before_o it_o do_v come_v it_o they_o the_o sting_n tooth_n and_o the_o poison_n be_v take_v out_o three_o he_o do_v not_o only_o thus_o mortify_v and_o weaken_v a_o 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 their_o name_n &_o he_o know_v their_o nature_n and_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o the_o serpent_n can_v not_o speak_v to_o he_o he_o may_v easy_o have_v know_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o satan_n be_v 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 foot_n of_o the_o tempter_n may_v be_v discover_v and_o when_o a_o temptation_n be_v discover_v it_o be_v half_o overcome_v four_o he_o do_v not_o only_o thus_o but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v the_o time_a of_o all_o our_o temptationp_n time_n be_v a_o great_a matter_n in_o the_o point_n of_o temptation_n shall_v a_o temptation_n come_v at_o such_o or_o such_o a_o time_n possible_o god_n child_n may_v be_v overwhelm_v i_o praise_v the_o lord_n say_v one_o i_o do_v resist_v such_o a_o temptation_n but_o have_v it_o fall_v out_o at_o such_o a_o time_n i_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v stand_v under_o it_o satan_n observe_v his_o tempt_a time_n he_o know_v that_o great_a advantage_n may_v be_v make_v unto_o he_o by_o his_o time_n and_o therefore_o when_o christ_n be_v a_o hungry_a he_o tempt_v he_o to_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n observe_v his_o time_n and_o as_o satan_n do_v observe_v his_o time_n to_o tempt_v so_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n do_v set_v he_o his_o time_n &_o the_o time_n of_o his_o temptation_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 20._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n the_o 1._o 2._o and_o 3._o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v to_o this_o purpose_n thus_o i_o see_v a_o angel_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n

be_v fulfil_v and_o after_o that_o he_o must_v be_v loose_v a_o little_a season_n mark_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o only_o the_o tempter_n in_o a_o chain_n that_o he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o he_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o go_v but_o his_o hand_n also_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o christ_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o temptation_n a_o special_a eye_n upon_o the_o time_n of_o our_o temptation_n and_o this_o argue_v much_o of_o his_o care_n and_o love_n five_o he_o have_v not_o only_o the_o time_a of_o our_o temptation_n but_o he_o do_v also_o sanctify_v our_o temptation_n and_o do_v make_v they_o bless_a mean_n of_o our_o sanctification_n and_o therefore_o say_v paul_n i_o receive_v the_o messenger_n satan_n for_o to_o buffet_v i_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v exalt_v twice_o he_o have_v that_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v exalt_v out_o of_o measure_n but_o for_o this_o i_o need_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o instance_n

a_o outlet_a some_o breathe_a time_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o temptation_n five_o and_o last_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o so_o he_o do_v it_o especial_o when_o his_o people_n be_v under_o temptation_n then_o he_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o then_o especial_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v whether_o christ_n now_o in_o heaven_n do_v intercede_v vocal_o or_o real_o but_o when_o satan_n lie_v hard_a upon_o a_o poor_a tempt_v soul_n and_o fetch_v blood_n from_o it_o then_o do_v the_o lord_n jesus_n step_v in_o unto_o his_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o peter_n here_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o time_n of_o his_o full_a intercession_n when_o he_o be_v

on_o earth_n and_o in_o heaven_n the_o holy_a of_o holy_a he_o do_v make_v intercession_n there_o he_o do_v do_v it_o full_o but_o he_o can_v not_o for_o bear_v while_o he_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n but_o he_o say_v unto_o peter_n i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o though_o my_o great_a work_n in_o heaven_n be_v to_o intercede_v and_o my_o special_a work_n here_o on_o earth_n be_v to_o satisfy_v

they_o in_o heaven_n and_o be_v hear_v there_o satan_n may_v come_v run_v in_o upon_o you_o with_o his_o temptation_n but_o when_o satan_n run_v in_o upon_o you_o with_o his_o temptation_n christ_n run_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o spread_v his_o blood_n and_o his_o satisfaction_n for_o you_o and_o there_o he_o say_v unto_o the_o father_n father_n i_o have_v pray_v that_o this_o man_n or_o woman_n faith_n may_v not_o fail_v oh_o what_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o love_n be_v here_o thus_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n and_o many_o other_o that_o i_o may_v

find_v that_o god_n love_n be_v never_o more_o towards_o christ_n than_o when_o christ_n be_v under_o temptation_n when_o christ_n come_v to_o die_v satan_n be_v very_o busy_a it_o be_v call_v the_o hour_n of_o darkness_n so_o busy_a be_v satan_n with_o all_o his_o malice_n against_o he_o yet_o then_o be_v the_o father_n love_n towards_o christ_n then_o especial_o for_o say_v christ_n therefore_o do_v the_o father_n love_v i_o because_o i_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n if_o the_o father_n do_v therefore_o love_v he_o because_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n than_o his_o love_n be_v most_o at_o

work_n because_o he_o deal_v by_o he_o as_o the_o father_n do_v deal_v by_o he_o the_o truth_n be_v christ_n deal_n with_o his_o disciple_n
heart_n first_o a_o true_a disciple_n do_v deny_v himself_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n he_o be_v always_o in_o the_o circle_n of_o self_n and_o satan_n keep_v he_o in_o it_o but_o when_o christ_n come_v he_o get_v out_o of_o that_o circle_n and_o then_o he_o deny_v himself_o self_n say_v whether_o natural_a self_n civil_a self_n or_o sinful_a self_n thou_o be_v now_o mind_v christ_n and_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n but_o mind_v thy_o estate_n more_o and_o thy_o name_n more_o and_o thy_o firend_n and_o relation_n more_o and_o thy_o health_n more_o and_o thy_o pleasure_n and_o recreation_n more_o nay_o say_v a_o true_a disciple_n but_o i_o must_v mind_n christ_n more_o i_o must_v mind_v my_o own_o soul_n more_o i_o must_v mind_v my_o eternity_n more_o so_o he_o deny_v himself_o his_o sinful_a self_n and_o civil_a self_n and_o religious_a self_n too_o his_o self-reason_n and_o his_o self-will_n and_o his_o self-affection_n second_o he_o do_v take_v up_o his_o cross_n a_o true_a disciple_n take_v up_o his_o cross_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o do_v bear_v his_o cross_n with_o patience_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o these_o bear_v of_o a_o man_n cross_n with_o patience_n when_o it_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n when_o it_o be_v lay_v before_o he_o proper_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n when_o there_o be_v sin_n lay_v on_o one_o side_n and_o there_o be_v a_o cross_n and_o a_o affliction_n lay_v on_o the_o other_o side_n now_o either_o you_o must_v commit_v this_o sin_n or_o else_o you_o must_v endure_v this_o cross_n or_o affliction_n nay_o then_o say_v a_o true_a disciple_n rather_o than_o i_o will_v commit_v that_o sin_n i_o will_v endure_v this_o affliciton_n and_o so_o he_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n three_o he_o do_v also_o follow_v christ_n some_o there_o be_v that_o have_v suffer_v for_o the_o name_n and_o cause_n of_o christ_n they_o then_o grow_v proud_a of_o their_o suffering_n and_o they_o fall_v into_o foul_a miscarriage_n but_o a_o true_a disciple_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v take_v up_o the_o cross_n he_o follow_v christ_n now_o proper_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o follow_v christ_n when_o he_o do_v do_v those_o thing_n at_o christ_n command_n wherein_o christ_n do_v differ_v from_o other_o as_o now_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o follow_v luther_n when_o he_o do_v follow_v he_o in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o he_o differ_v from_o calvin_n and_o a_o man_n follow_v calvin_n when_o he_o do_v follow_v he_o in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o he_o differ_v from_o luther_n so_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o follow_v christ_n when_o he_o follow_v he_o in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o he_o differ_v from_o other_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n wherein_o christ_n and_o nature_n do_v agree_v nature_n say_v that_o a_o man_n must_v do_v by_o another_o as_o he_o will_v be_v deal_v by_o himself_o herein_o christ_n and_o nature_n agree_v but_o christ_n say_v a_o new_a commandment_n give_v i_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o here_o christ_n differ_v from_o nature_n nature_n teach_v a_o man_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o and_o that_o a_o man_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o his_o friend_n but_o now_o christ_n say_v pray_v for_o your_o enemy_n i_o say_v a_o man_n be_v proper_o say_v for_o to_o follow_v christ_n when_o he_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o wherein_o christ_n differ_v from_o other_o now_o whosoever_o thou_o be_v that_o make_v this_o objection_n that_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o pray_v for_o thou_o in_o the_o time_n of_o thy_o temptation_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o be_v you_o not_o willing_a to_o take_v up_o your_o cross_n rather_o to_o endure_v that_o affliction_n than_o commit_v this_o sin_n do_v you_o not_o set_v yourself_o to_o deny_v yourself_o your_o pleasure_n recreation_n relation_n and_o all_o for_o christ_n and_o do_v you_o not_o desire_v to_o follow_v jesus_n christ_n in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o he_o do_v differ_v from_o antichrist_n and_o from_o nature_n and_o from_o moses_n then_o sure_o thou_o be_v a_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o beside_o this_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o 17._o of_o john_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v for_o those_o his_o present_a disciple_n but_o say_v he_o i_o pray_v for_o all_o that_o shall_v believe_v on_o i_o through_o their_o word_n verse_n the_o 20._o what_o be_v it_o to_o believe_v on_o christ_n to_o rest_v upon_o christ_n for_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o temptation_n this_o be_v to_o believe_v on_o christ_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o temptation_n do_v you_o rest_v on_o christ_n do_v it_o you_o rely_v on_o christ_n then_o christ_n have_v pray_v for_o you_o and_o though_o thou_o be_v in_o such_o a_o temptation_n as_o thou_o complain_v thou_o can_v not_o pray_v yet_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v pray_v for_o thou_o and_o he_o be_v hear_v in_o all_o that_o he_o pray_v for_o but_o i_o fear_v will_n some_o say_v yet_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o pray_v object_n or_o intercede_v for_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n because_o my_o faith_n fail_v i_o oh_o my_o faith_n have_v fail_v i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n do_v christ_n pray_v for_o i_o my_o faith_n will_v not_o fail_v for_o he_o be_v hear_v in_o all_o that_o he_o pray_v for_o but_o oh_o my_o faith_n fail_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o this_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o at_o work_n for_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n for_o answer_v answ_n 1_o first_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o fail_n of_o your_o faith_n and_o the_o fail_n of_o your_o heart_n possible_o your_o heart_n may_v fail_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o yet_o not_o your_o faith_n look_v i_o pray_v into_o the_o 73._o psalm_n the_o 26._o verse_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v as_o much_o say_v the_o psalmist_n there_o my_o flesh_n and_o my_o heart_n fail_v i_o but_o do_v not_o his_o faith_n fail_v now_o see_v what_o he_o say_v his_o faith_n stand_v notwithstanding_o this_o but_o god_n be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o my_o portion_n for_o ever_o here_o be_v his_o faith_n so_o that_o though_o his_o flesh_n fail_v and_o his_o heart_n fail_v yet_o his_o faith_n do_v not_o fail_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o recoil_v fit_a of_o a_o heart-failing_a in_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o the_o fail_n of_o one_o faith_n second_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o you_o to_o fail_v in_o your_o faith_n in_o our_o own_o opinion_n and_o another_o thing_n for_o your_o faith_n to_o fail_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o peter_n deny_v his_o lord_n and_o master_n in_o his_o own_o opinion_n he_o can_v not_o but_o think_v that_o his_o faith_n fail_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o faith_n do_v not_o fail_v for_o christ_n pray_v that_o his_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v and_o it_o do_v not_o fail_v for_o christ_n be_v hear_v in_o what_o he_o pray_v for_o three_o there_o be_v great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o fail_n of_o faith_n and_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v faith_n the_o poor_a woman_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o touch_v the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n fail_v very_o much_o for_o she_o come_v behind_o he_o and_o thought_n to_o have_v steal_v a_o cure_n i_o but_o though_o there_o be_v many_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v her_o faith_n yet_o her_o faith_n do_v not_o fail_v for_o she_o come_v and_o touch_v the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n and_o be_v cure_v by_o her_o faith_n so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o fail_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v faith_n there_o may_v be_v many_o fail_n that_o do_v accompany_v one_o faith_n and_o yet_o one_o faith_n may_v stand_v and_o not_o fail_v but_o yet_o further_o whosoever_o you_o be_v that_o say_v your_o faith_n fail_v you_o and_o therefore_o you_o be_v afraid_a that_o christ_n pray_v not_o for_o you_o man_n or_o woman_n do_v thy_o faith_n ever_o fail_v thou_o like_o peter_n do_v thou_o ever_o deny_v thy_o lord_n and_o master_n as_o peter_n do_v and_o yet_o christ_n say_v i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o and_o he_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o pray_v for_o oh_o but_o that_o be_v but_o one_o act_n in_o
peter_n object_n but_o my_o faith_n do_v constant_o fail_v peter_n deny_v and_o his_o faith_n fail_v in_o the_o exercise_n as_o to_o one_o act_n but_o my_o faith_n do_v constant_o fail_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n i_o be_v heretofore_o more_o able_a to_o believe_v in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n than_o now_o i_o be_o my_o faith_n be_v fail_v and_o it_o constant_o fail_v and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n will_v not_o pray_v for_o i_o in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o temptation_n well_o but_o if_o you_o be_v more_o able_a to_o rely_v upon_o mere_a freegrace_n answ_n than_o you_o have_v be_v heretofore_o than_o your_o faith_n be_v not_o less_o but_o increase_v rather_o if_o you_o be_v now_o more_o able_a to_o be_v content_v with_o your_o

hint_n of_o a_o word_n which_o you_o can_v not_o heretofore_o if_o your_o judgement_n be_v more_o settle_v in_o the_o truth_n if_o you_o be_v more_o content_v to_o suffer_v now_o for_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o way_n of_o god_n than_o you_o be_v heretofore_o then_o thy_o faith_n be_v not_o fail_v but_o thy_o faith_n be_v increase_v rather_o and_o so_o thou_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n prayer_n oh_o object_n but_o yet_o will_n some_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v great_o very_o much_o i_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o
