glory_n of_o christ_n think_v of_o we_o in_o he_o when_o we_o see_v he_o bear_v think_v he_o be_v bear_v for_o i_o when_o we_o see_v he_o die_v think_v we_o die_v with_o he_o when_o we_o see_v he_o bury_v think_v ourselves_o bury_v with_o he_o so_o in_o the_o state_n of_o exaltation_n when_o we_o see_v he_o rise_v and_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n think_v he_o be_v there_o to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o i_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v or_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o regard_v we_o in_o all_o therefore_o it_o somewhat_o obscure_v the_o glory_n and_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o to_o conceive_v that_o he_o have_v a_o selfe-respect_n in_o these_o thing_n when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o text_n for_o this_o end_n christ_n die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v who_o good_a he_o respect_v in_o this_o lordship_n be_v it_o not_o a_o profitable_a lordship_n for_o we_o be_v it_o not_o for_o our_o good_a that_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n &_o not_o only_o our_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n of_o satan_n of_o death_n and_o of_o all_o our_o enemy_n he_o be_v lord_n over_o all_o say_v the_o apostle_n god_n over_o all_o bless_v for_o ever_o therefore_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o sin_n over_o death_n over_o hell_n over_o all_o that_o we_o need_v to_o fear_v it_o be_v for_o we_o therefore_o our_o good_a be_v intend_v though_o there_o be_v a_o redundance_n of_o glory_n in_o christ_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n yet_o think_v he_o respect_v our_o good_a the_o best_a meditation_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o think_v all_o be_v for_o we_o belove_a be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n that_o he_o shall_v stop_v the_o issue_n and_o the_o beam_n of_o glory_n that_o shall_v otherwise_o have_v come_v upon_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v content_a to_o be_v in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o be_v eclipse_v in_o regard_n of_o manifestation_n and_o abase_v himself_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o all_o for_o our_o redemption_n when_o he_o may_v have_v go_v to_o glory_v another_o way_n but_o as_o one_o of_o the_o ancient_n say_v well_o if_o he_o have_v go_v to_o heaven_n another_o way_n he_o may_v have_v come_v thither_o himself_o but_o he_o can_v not_o have_v help_v we_o that_o way_n therefore_o he_o will_v go_v to_o heaven_n by_o way_n of_o abasement_n and_o concealment_n and_o stop_v that_o of_o his_o glory_n that_o he_o may_v help_v we_o and_o pay_v the_o price_n to_o god_n for_o we_o and_o reconcile_v we_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o see_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o all_o this_o enough_o for_o that_o question_n which_o i_o will_v not_o have_v mention_v but_o that_o it_o have_v a_o special_a use_n and_o comfort_n and_o may_v be_v a_o incentive_a to_o kindle_v love_n to_o christ_n regard_v we_o in_o his_o birth_n and_o life_n and_o death_n in_o his_o resurrection_n in_o his_o ascension_n in_o his_o glory_n in_o all_o to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n therefore_o christ_n be_v our_o lord_n both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n it_o be_v for_o ever_o oh_o belove_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o project_v for_o his_o glory_n for_o ever_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v he_o be_v our_o lord_n when_o we_o be_v dead_a he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o our_o soul_n of_o our_o happiness_n we_o be_v near_o he_o than_o than_o we_o be_v now_o he_o that_o be_v my_o lord_n both_o live_n and_o die_v and_o for_o ever_o shall_v not_o i_o labour_v that_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a there_o may_v be_v a_o church_n here_o that_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a posterity_n may_v serve_v he_o and_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o shall_v he_o for_o ever_o be_v lord_n for_o my_o good_a and_o shall_v not_o i_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o i_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o ever_o in_o his_o service_n that_o when_o i_o can_v serve_v he_o no_o long_o myself_o than_o posterity_n may_v serve_v he_o it_o be_v a_o curse_a wish_n of_o a_o pagan_a emperor_n when_o i_o be_o dead_a let_v heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v mingle_v if_o they_o will_v but_o a_o christian_a think_v christ_n be_v i_o and_o for_o my_o good_a both_o live_n and_o die_v nay_o i_o have_v more_o good_a by_o he_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a than_o alive_a therefore_o i_o will_v labour_v that_o he_o may_v have_v glory_n in_o his_o church_n by_o i_o and_o i_o and_o all_o my_o counsel_n and_o project_n shall_v be_v that_o it_o may_v be_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o world_n without_o end_n therefore_o they_o desire_v that_o god_n may_v be_v serve_v and_o glorify_v in_o the_o church_n for_o ever_o as_o he_o be_v their_o lord_n live_v and_o die_v and_o let_v it_o be_v our_o comfort_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n that_o may_v be_v near_o we_o than_o we_o be_v aware_a off_o that_o he_o be_v not_o only_a lord_n of_o the_o live_n but_o of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a he_o have_v the_o key_n both_o of_o hell_n and_o death_n that_o be_v he_o have_v the_o government_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o shall_v i_o be_v afraid_a to_o commit_v my_o soul_n to_o christ_n what_o a_o ground_n be_v this_o comfortable_o to_o yield_v our_o soul_n to_o christ_n lord_n take_v the_o soul_n thatthou_fw-mi die_v to_o purchase_n that_o thou_o do_v rise_v againe-to_a justify_v that_o thou_o do_v live_v now_o in_o heaven_n to_o make_v intercession_n for_o that_o thou_o have_v give_v thy_o holy_a spirit_n in_o some_o measure_n to_o sanctify_v take_v this_o soul_n to_o thou_o it_o be_v thy_o soul_n as_o much_o and_o more_o than_o i_o i_o be_o not_o my_o own_o nor_o my_o soul_n be_v not_o my_o own_o into_o thy_o hand_n i_o commend_v even_o thy_o spirit_n for_o thou_o have_v redeem_v i_o oh_o lord_n of_o truth_n thou_o have_v redeem_v this_o

to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v best_a of_o all_o when_o a_o christian_a think_v at_o death_n now_o i_o be_o change_v for_o the_o better_a christ_n will_v not_o leave_v i_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n neither_o die_v nor_o live_v butwill_v watch_v over_o my_o dust_n my_o dead_a body_n be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n death_n may_v separate_v body_n and_o soul_n but_o it_o can_v separate_v soul_n or_o body_n from_o he_o therefore_o take_v no_o thought_n for_o body_n or_o soul_n for_o my_o soul_n i_o know_v he_o will_v receive_v it_o and_o my_o body_n as_o a_o good_a

to_o my_o husband_n and_o to_o my_o king_n and_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n be_v part_n of_o the_o regiment_n of_o christ_n whereby_o he_o

therefore_o as_o the_o subject_n of_o christ_n i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v such_o a_o lord_n as_o do_v great_a thing_n by_o despise_a mean_n

according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n admonish_v rom._n 12._o we_o must_v search_v what_o be_v the_o acceptable_a will_n of_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n what_o

what_o he_o will_v have_v of_o we_o he_o will_v have_v the_o direct_n of_o our_o life_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v live_v to_o christ_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o know_v his_o good_a pleasure_n

according_a to_o his_o will_n second_o that_o we_o may_v live_v to_o god_n we_o must_v aim_v at_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o at_o the_o credit_n of_o religion_n not_o at_o

once_o than_o he_o will_v give_v god_n leave_v to_o seek_v he_o a_o servant_n thus_o man_n make_v himself_o a_o idol_n he_o set_v up_o himself_o in_o the_o room_n of_o god_n he_o do_v all_o thing_n as_o from_o himself_o so_o for_o himself_o nor_o indeed_o can_v he_o do_v otherwise_o till_o he_o put_v off_o himself_o whole_o and_o deny_v himself_o a_o man_n can_v go_v beyond_o himself_o but_o

can_v afford_v and_o have_v another_o spiritual_a life_n above_o he_o be_v thereby_o direct_v to_o further_a aim_n in_o all_o yea_o even_o in_o his_o civil_a action_n saint_n paul_n give_v a_o rule_n that_o whether_o we_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n though_o the_o action_n be_v common_a and_o civil_a not_o tend_v direct_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o eat_v etc._n etc._n yet_o our_o aim_n shall_v be_v in_o it_o at_o christ_n and_o at_o god_n that_o the_o body_n thereby_o be_v refresh_v may_v be_v fit_a to_o

therefore_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v put_v as_o a_o kind_n of_o limitation_n obey_v in_o the_o lord_n marry_v in_o the_o lord_n do_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n he_o

thus_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n with_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o liken_v now_o a_o assistant_n help_v of_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o perpetual_a
