eternal_a life_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n contain_v also_o a_o description_n of_o that_o for_o which_o we_o shall_v labour_v see_v then_o we_o see_v what_o great_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o seek_v this_o spiritual_a food_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o know_v where_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o next_o point_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v set_v down_o in_o

first_o we_o be_v to_o mark_v that_o it_o please_v christ_n through_o out_o the_o scripture_n to_o name_v himself_o more_o by_o this_o name_n the_o son_n of_o man_n then_o by_o any_o other_o especial_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o save_a grace_n and_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o elect_a one_o it_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o of_o singular_a instruction_n for_o we_o that_o move_v christ_n to_o take_v this_o name_n upon_o himself_o and_o certain_o it_o be_v so_o although_o not_o perceive_v nor_o comprehend_v by_o every_o man_n in_o this_o same_o chapter_n when_o christ_n have_v tell_v the_o lew_n that_o unless_o they_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n they_o have_v no_o life_n in_o they_o many_o of_o his_o disciple_n murmur_v at_o it_o and_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n and_o in_o deed_n no_o marvel_n that_o it_o seem_v hard_a to_o a_o natural_a man_n for_o how_o can_v he_o think_v that_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o virtue_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o they_o but_o christ_n open_v this_o mystery_n in_o the_o same_o place_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n prosit_v nothing_o for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o though_o without_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n we_o can_v have_v no_o life_n in_o we_o yet_o certain_o even_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n naked_o consider_v as_o flesh_n and_o blood_n or_o yet_o as_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n can_v never_o give_v life_n to_o they_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v it_o but_o as_o be_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o god_n in_o the_o which_o flesh_n all_o the_o fullnes_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o it_o give_v life_n to_o they_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v they_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o this_o flesh_n nor_o from_o this_o blood_n &_o therefore_o all_o though_o their_o can_v be_v no_o eternal_a life_n but_o from_o this_o eternal_a spirit_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o no_o save_a virtue_n of_o the_o deity_n nor_o life_n from_o the_o god_n head_n shall_v ever_o be_v communicate_v unto_o man_n but_o in_o &_o through_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o despise_v this_o flesh_n &_o blood_n nor_o the_o outward_a mean_n whereby_o our_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n in_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v seal_v unto_o we_o since_o without_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n to_o save_v we_o let_v we_o therefore_o lay_v up_o this_o mystery_n in_o our_o heart_n that_o as_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n can_v never_o quicken_v but_o by_o the_o spirit_n even_o so_o also_o the_o spirit_n shall_v never_o quicken_v but_o by_o the_o flesh_n there_o be_v yet_o more_o in_o this_o to_o be_v consider_v and_o that_o be_v that_o as_o god_n will_v dispense_v no_o save_v grace_n but_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o man_n so_o he_o will_v not_o dispense_v it_o but_o by_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n for_o god_n have_v give_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n not_o as_o he_o be_v god_n simple_o but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o by_o he_o as_o he_o be_v man_n will_v he_o judge_v the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 17._o of_o act._n god_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v jesus_n christ_n as_o man_n shall_v judge_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o the_o father_n have_v exalt_v he_o in_o his_o man_n hood_n and_o have_v give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n unto_o which_o all_o knee_n must_v bow_n and_o every_o mouth_n confess_v he_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o david_n consider_v this_o wonder_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 8._o psal_n say_v what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o visite_a he_o for_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o a_o littel_v lower_n then_o the_o angel_n and_o have_v crown_v he_o with_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v this_o that_o as_o christ_n himself_o say_v all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o over_o all_o flesh_n the_o power_n of_o rule_v and_o of_o judge_v of_o save_v &_o damn_v man_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n as_o man_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v not_o subdue_v unto_o christ_n the_o man_n as_o the_o apostle_n prove_v in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 15._o from_o these_o word_n of_o the_o psalm_n that_o god_n have_v subdue_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n prove_v thereby_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o nothing_o be_v unsubdued_a to_o he_o but_o he_o that_o do_v subdue_v they_o until_o that_o the_o last_o enemy_n death_n itself_o be_v subdue_v christ_n shall_v still_o possess_v the_o kingdom_n but_o when_o he_o have_v subdue_v all_o thing_n then_o shall_v he_o render_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o his_o father_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n till_o this_o be_v do_v all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n as_o man_n to_o destroy_v all_o adversary_n power_n either_o devil_n or_o wicked_a man_n thus_o have_v god_n honour_v &_o high_o exalt_v the_o humanity_n of_o his_o son_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o fullnes_n of_o the_o god_n head_n ●welling_v in_o he_o bodily_a this_o be_v the_o ●eason_n that_o christ_n in_o this_o place_n say_v the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v

have_v tread_v under_o foot_n to_o be_v exalt_v to_o such_o glory_n and_o when_o they_o shall_v see_v he_o come_v in_o the_o ●louds_n in_o majesty_n and_o great_a power_n accompany_v with_o innumerable_a angel_n and_o hear_v he_o sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o judgement_n prononce_v the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a death_n against_o they_o for_o the_o godly_a it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o singular_a joy_n to_o know_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v their_o judge_n and_o that_o in_o his_o human_a nature_n wherein_o in_o all_o thing_n he_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o they_o sin_n only_o except_v and_o wherein_o he_o wrought_v their_o redemption_n by_o his_o own_o death_n &_o when_o they_o shall_v understand_v that_o the_o dispensation_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v put_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o give_v eternal_a life_n yea_o he_o himself_o to_o give_v his_o own_o flesh_n and_o blood_n unto_o we_o unto_o eternal_a life_n certain_o if_o this_o be_v not_o the_o great_a comfort_n of_o god_n elect_v be_v take_v away_v no_o consideration_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o god_n simple_o can_v possible_o refresh_v our_o soul_n if_o we_o do_v not_o consider_v he_o in_o his_o flesh_n be_v man_n for_o he_o be_v no_o less_o terrible_a in_o his_o dyetie_n to_o a_o sinner_n than_o the_o father_n but_o our_o interest_n in_o he_o arise_v upon_o this_o that_o he_o be_v be_v come_v our_o brother_n in_o our_o nature_n that_o be_v man_n he_o may_v bring_v we_o that_o be_v man_n to_o god_n therefore_o first_o of_o all_o he_o do_v a_o base_a himself_o and_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o in_o that_o nature_n
suffer_v the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n in_o the_o full_a possession_n of_o the_o kingdom_n life_n and_o glory_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v unto_o we_o fill_v he_o in_o that_o his_o

of_o communicate_v life_n and_o glory_n unto_o we_o in_o our_o flesh_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v prove_v that_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n by_o christ_n the_o man_n by_o this_o argument_n to_o wit_n because_o god_n have_v raise_v he_o up_o from_o the_o dead_a acts._n 17.31_o and_o the_o apostle_n for_o this_o cause_n make_v this_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o high_a priest_n that_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o majesty_n in_o heaven_n hebrewes_n the_o 8._o and_o the_o 1._o for_o although_o he_o have_v be_v man_n and_o in_o man_n nature_n have_v suffer_v all_o punishment_n due_a to_o we_o for_o our_o iniquity_n yet_o not_o withstand_v if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o triumph_v over_o the_o grave_n we_o can_v never_o have_v hope_v to_o have_v attain_v to_o eternal_a life_n by_o his_o flesh_n for_o if_o that_o flesh_n of_o he_o have_v be_v overcome_v by_o death_n we_o can_v never_o have_v overcome_v death_n in_o our_o flesh_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n build_v our_o hope_n of_o life_n upon_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a 1._o pet._n chapt_n 1._o vers_fw-la 3._o say_v bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o according_a to_o his_o abundant_a mercy_n have_v be_v get_v we_o again_o to_o the_o hope_n of_o life_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n vers_fw-la the_o 21._o he_o say_v thus_o that_o god_n raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o give_v he_o glory_n that_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_n may_v be_v in_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o four_o part_n of_o this_o seal_n the_o 5._o and_o last_o part_n of_o this_o seal_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o rest_n be_v this_o that_o this_o man_n in_o his_o flesh_n be_v not_o only_o by_o god_n eternal_a decree_n appoint_v and_o by_o the_o father_n voice_n from_o heaven_n ratify_v to_o be_v the_o only_a redeemer_n and_o life_n of_o the_o world_n and_o confirm_v to_o be_v this_o by_o his_o work_n his_o suffering_n and_o his_o glorious_a exaltation_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n but_o chief_o and_o principal_o because_o in_o this_o his_o manhood_n thus_o abase_v and_o again_o exalt_v do_v dwell_v all_o the_o fullnes_n of_o the_o god_n head_n bodily_a colos_n the_o vers_n 2.9_o for_o if_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o seal_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v his_o flesh_n the_o bread_n of_o life_n for_o immortal_a life_n can_v come_v to_o we_o but_o from_o that_o flesh_n which_o have_v immortal_a life_n in_o itself_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o christ_n use_v that_o speech_n in_o the_o 6._o of_o john_n when_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o he_o that_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n have_v everlasting_a life_n say_v as_o that_o live_a father_n have_v send_v i_o and_o i_o live_v by_o the_o father_n even_o so_o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n even_o he_o shall_v live_v by_o i_o in_o the_o 57_o vers_fw-la this_o therefore_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o seal_n wherewith_o god_n the_o father_n have_v seal_v christ_n the_o man_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o have_v stamp_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n with_o the_o deity_n itself_o and_o so_o consequent_o with_o life_n itself_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n therefore_o that_o this_o flesh_n and_o this_o blood_n do_v give_v life_n to_o those_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v it_o see_v it_o be_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o god_n himself_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 20._o of_o acts._n vers_fw-la 28._o that_o god_n have_v purchase_v his_o church_n by_o his_o own_o blood_n no_o man_n therefore_o that_o be_v not_o a_o most_o wretched_a infidel_n can_v deny_v that_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o give_v eternal_a life_n to_o he_o that_o do_v receive_v it_o and_o this_o point_n be_v careful_o to_o be_v mark_v of_o we_o because_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 1._o corint_fw-la the_o 11._o chapt_n show_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o corinth_n in_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n do_v eat_v unworthy_o yea_o do_v eat_v judgement_n unto_o themselves_o do_v plain_o show_v we_o that_o it_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n vers_n the_o 29._o for_o the_o banquet_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o a_o banquet_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o a_o mere_a man_n but_o it_o be_v of_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a king_n and_o lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n even_o of_o the_o eternal_a

then_o what_o comfort_n we_o have_v in_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v seal_v christ_n the_o man_n to_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o eternal_a life_n to_o all_o that_o eat_v his_o flesh_n give_v we_o full_a assurance_n here_o by_o in_o all_o the_o testimony_n which_o he_o have_v give_v of_o he_o and_o all_o the_o work_n which_o he_o have_v

the_o hand_n nor_o of_o the_o body_n but_o a_o work_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o as_o a_o man_n must_v have_v a_o move_a hand_n &_o a_o stir_a body_n in_o the_o business_n that_o belong_v to_o this_o world_n so_o for_o obtay_v of_o spiritual_a blessing_n he_o must_v have_v a_o stir_a and_o a_o believe_a heart_n his_o heart_n must_v work_v by_o faith_n if_o ever_o he_o think_v to_o have_v any_o spiritual_a blessing_n from_o god_n for_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n alone_o that_o we_o draw_v all_o good_a thing_n from_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o by_o faith_n alone_o it_o be_v that_o we_o render_v to_o god_n any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o for_o all_o though_o in_o the_o scripture_n our_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o love_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o this_o life_n more_o proper_o attribute_v to_o faith_n see_v that_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n and_o so_o love_v be_v but_o the_o instrument_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o by_o which_o faith_n work_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o the_o do_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v attribute_v unto_o faith_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 11._o of_o the_o leu._n for_o the_o whole_a operation_n of_o a_o spiritual_a man_n consist_v main_o in_o the_o work_n of_o believe_v without_o which_o we_o shall_v never_o receive_v aught_o from_o god_n that_o be_v able_a to_o save_v our_o soul_n neither_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o to_o send_v up_o one_o sound_a desire_n or_o petition_n unto_o god_n to_o conclude_v in_o a_o word_n there_o be_v no_o ability_n either_o to_o speak_v or_o to_o do_v aught_o acceptablie_o to_o god_n without_o faith_n this_o point_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n &_o we_o be_v to_o labour_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o attain_v unto_o this_o work_n of_o believe_v and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o be_v care_n full_o to_o use_v all_o mean_n by_o which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o work_v faith_n in_o our_o heart_n as_o namely_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v the_o participation_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n instant_a prayer_n to_o god_n with_o daily_a meditation_n in_o the_o bless_a word_n of_o god_n daily_a conference_n &_o talk_v of_o the_o holy_a thing_n of_o god_n that_o faith_n by_o these_o mean_n be_v both_o wrought_v and_o nourish_v and_o daily_o increase_v in_o our_o heart_n without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o we_o can_v come_v to_o have_v any_o feeling_n or_o sense_n either_o of_o the_o life_n or_o love_n of_o god_n in_o our_o soul_n much_o less_o to_o show_v forth_o any_o evidence_n of_o they_o in_o our_o practice_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n this_o be_v that_o work_n which_o must_v have_v place_n in_o all_o our_o work_n &_o season_v they_o all_o before_o god_n therefore_o be_v we_o command_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v whether_o we_o eat_v or_o whether_o we_o drink_v that_o we_o do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o do_v all_o in_o faith_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v do_v in_o faith_n this_o be_v then_o that_o which_o christ_n mean_v when_o he_o will_n we_o to_o labour_n now_o let_v we_o go_v forward_o here_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v next_o speak_v of_o that_o for_o which_o we_o shall_v labour_v but_o before_o we_o come_v unto_o it_o we_o will_v speak_v first_o of_o the_o preparition_n which_o christ_n require_v in_o we_o for_o the_o fit_v we_o to_o this_o labour_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o let_n &_o impediment_n that_o hinder_v we_o from_o labour_v for_o that_o meat_n which_o endure_v unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o this_o be_v set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n labour_v not_o for_o the_o meat_n which_o perish_v here_o we_o see_v that_o when_o christ_n will_v we_o to_o labour_v for_o heavenly_a thing_n he_o first_o restrain_v we_o from_o the_o labour_n for_o earthly_a thing_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o if_o the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o earthly_a thing_n be_v not_o root_v out_o of_o our_o mind_n the_o love_n and_o care_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n can_v take_v no_o place_n in_o they_o this_o be_v manifest_a by_o that_o speech_n of_o john_n his_o 1._o epist_n 2._o cap._n 15._o vers_fw-la love_v not_o the_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o it_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o man_n who_o heart_n &_o affection_n be_v set_v upon_o thing_n belong_v to_o his_o body_n must_v be_v a_o senseless_a man_n concern_v the_o welfare_n of_o his_o soul_n it_o be_v expedient_a therefore_o and_o also_o necessary_a that_o the_o care_n and_o solicitude_n of_o earthly_a thing_n be_v moderate_v and_o bear_v down_o in_o our_o mind_n if_o ever_o we_o will_v embrace_v this_o ●abour_n command_v by_o christ_n for_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o no_o man_n can_v serve_v ●wo_fw-la master_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o world_n both_o and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o cause_n that_o christ_n will_n his_o disciple_n not_o to_o care_v what_o they_o shall_v eat_v nor_o what_o they_o shall_v drink_v nor_o what_o they_o shall_v put_v on_o put_v that_o first_o they_o shall_v seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n with_o a_o promise_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v cast_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o move_v they_o unto_o this_o among_o many_o other_o reason_n he_o bring_v this_o for_o one_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v the_o disposition_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o man_n without_o god_n to_o seek_v after_o thing_n concern_v this_o life_n namely_o what_o they_o shall_v eat_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v drink_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v put_v on_o and_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o they_o that_o know_v god_n and_o profess_v god_n to_o be_v their_o father_n shall_v not_o set_v their_o heart_n upon_o these_o temporal_a thing_n for_o it_o
