the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n he_o must_v be_v our_o mediator_n and_o redeemer_n and_o that_o in_o his_o very_a death_n therefore_o he_o must_v be_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o he_o be_v to_o perform_v as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o redeemer_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n belong_v to_o he_o as_o redeemer_n that_o can_v not_o be_v perform_v but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o be_v part_n of_o our_o saviour_n office_n as_o he_o be_v mediator_n to_o reveal_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o we_o who_o know_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n himself_o it_o be_v part_n of_o our_o saviour_n office_n to_o forgive_v sin_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n alone_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o office_n to_o redeem_v we_o and_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o damnation_n except_o he_o have_v be_v the_o lord_n he_o can_v

to_o be_v lord._n rom._n 1.4_o there_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v declare_v mighty_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o speak_v there_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o call_v he_o

by_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a now_o this_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o power_n whereby_o christ_n raise_v himself_o from_o death_n be_v in_o he_o while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o death_n and_o while_o christ_n lie_v in_o the_o grave_n then_o be_v this_o power_n in_o he_o to_o raise_v up_o himself_o now_o by_o this_o power_n he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v
