verse_n offer_v two_o doctrine_n first_o that_o a_o faithful_a soul_n be_v firm_o and_o near_o knit_v unto_o christ_n second_o he_o be_v so_o knit_v that_o he_o become_v one_o spirit_n but_o first_o of_o the_o first_o doctrine_n what_o ever_o by_o way_n of_o comparison_n can_v be_v allege_v concern_v the_o near_a combination_n of_o one_o thing_n with_o another_o they_o be_v all_o tie_v to_o this_o knit_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n look_v what_o a_o friend_n be_v to_o a_o friend_n look_v what_o a_o father_n be_v to_o a_o child_n what_o a_o husband_n to_o a_o wife_n look_v what_o a_o

we_o shall_v desire_v to_o discover_v in_o three_o particular_n which_o may_v be_v express_v in_o a_o graft_n when_o it_o be_v put_v into_o the_o stock_n and_o i_o say_v therein_o observe_v three_o

close_a one_o with_o another_o that_o they_o become_v one_o second_o the_o graft_n join_v to_o the_o stock_n and_o none_o other_o three_o they_o do_v not_o only_o act_v thus_o but_o be_v bind_v one_o to_o another_o and_o this_o make_v they_o act_v answerable_o to_o these_o three_o particular_n there_o be_v also_o a_o expression_n of_o the_o knit_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n in_o three_o particular_n first_o the_o soul_n gather_v up_o itself_o and_o all_o its_o spirit_n its_o faculty_n that_o do_v exercise_n in_o the_o work_n thereof_o upon_o christ_n and_o that_o make_v the_o soul_n to_o grow_v unto_o the_o lord_n when_o the_o soul_n turn_v the_o promise_n into_o good_a blood_n it_o do_v not_o only_o chew_v the_o meat_n but_o digest_v it_o and_o it_o become_v good_a blood_n a_o true_a believer_n gather_v up_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o employ_v they_o upon_o christ_n hope_n expect_v christ_n and_o desire_n belong_v for_o christ_n and_o love_n and_o joy_n embrace_v christ_n and_o the_o will_n close_v christ_n thus_o the_o soul_n settle_v itself_o upon_o christ_n hope_v expect_v long_a desire_v love_a embrace_v look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o woman_n that_o knead_n dowgh_n if_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o it_o the_o mould_v and_o the_o knead_n knit_v they_o together_o and_o make_v they_o one_o lump_n so_o there_o be_v the_o mould_v of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o promise_n hope_v and_o desire_v and_o longing_n and_o choose_v faith_n knead_n all_v these_o together_o and_o knit_v they_o unto_o god_n and_o draw_v the_o soul_n to_o he_o second_o the_o soul_n be_v satisfy_v with_o christ_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n the_o believer_n do_v repose_v his_o confidence_n whole_o thereupon_o prov._n 5.19_o that_o which_o make_v the_o love_n of_o a_o husband_n increase_v towards_o his_o wife_n be_v this_o he_o be_v satisfy_v with_o her_o breast_n at_o all_o time_n and_o then_o he_o come_v to_o be_v ravish_v with_o her_o love_n if_o

again_o it_o will_v choose_v none_o but_o christ_n thus_o suck_v thou_o up_o the_o consolation_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o be_v satisfy_v therewith_o and_o then_o thou_o will_v grow_v there_o upon_o but_o if_o you_o will_v be_v rest_v here_o and_o stay_v upon_o the_o contentment_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v weak_a confidence_n and_o draw_v the_o soul_n from_o god_n three_o the_o last_o thing_n be_v the_o bind_n of_o the_o heart_n upon_o both_o these_o viz._n the_o keep_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o promise_n 1_o coloss_n 23._o if_o you_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n be_v ground_v and_o settle_v so_o that_o a_o man_n do_v stake_v down_o his_o heart_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o hold_v hope_n and_o desire_v and_o love_n and_o joy_n and_o the_o will_n unto_o it_o it_o receive_v all_o christ_n and_o none_o but_o christ_n and_o stay_v here_o and_o continue_v here_o for_o ever_o this_o same_o covenant_n that_o bind_v the_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o soul_n carry_v itself_o in_o this_o union_n the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a be_v the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v do_v and_o the_o quality_n of_o this_o union_n and_o this_o we_o will_v discover_v in_o three_o particular_n first_o it_o be_v a_o real_a union_n but_o it_o be_v spiritual_a you_o must_v not_o conceive_v it_o gross_o as_o if_o my_o body_n be_v join_v to_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v a_o real_a union_n which_o be_v spiritual_a there_o be_v a_o union_n between_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n and_o a_o true_a believer_n that_o which_o i_o desire_v to_o declare_v be_v upon_o this_o ground_n to_o difference_n this_o union_n from_o that_o which_o divine_n be_v deceive_v in_o viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o union_n more_o than_o it_o bare_a notion_n
the_o word_n tell_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n the_o word_n say_v i_o be_o sanctify_v therefore_o i_o be_o justify_v therefore_o call_v therefore_o elect_v the_o word_n reveal_v these_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n must_v needs_o go_v inseparable_o with_o it_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a conclusion_n conclus_fw-la 2_o the_o second_o be_v this_o and_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v somewhat_o difficult_a the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n work_v with_o and_o accompany_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o

bring_v it_o unto_o christ_n and_o there_o lie_v a_o great_a weight_n and_o observe_v it_o the_o principal_a and_o efficient_a cause_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o believe_a it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o spiritual_a assist_v and_o move_v and_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o work_v and_o motion_n it_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o thus_o the_o spirit_n let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o stir_v hope_n and_o it_o be_v stir_v and_o move_v it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o quicken_v desire_n and_o it_o go_v it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o kindle_v love_n and_o it_o flame_n it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o persuade_v the_o will_n and_o it_o take_v and_o choose_v the_o spirit_n move_v upon_o these_o faculty_n and_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o they_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o main_a principal_a cause_n of_o faith_n be_v rather_o a_o assist_a power_n work_v upon_o than_o any_o inward_a principal_n put_v into_o the_o soul_n to_o work_v of_o itself_o but_o the_o work_n be_v upon_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n by_o that_o power_n and_o assistance_n be_v convey_v and_o carry_v home_o to_o christ_n observe_v it_o i_o will_v express_v it_o in_o several_a passage_n because_o here_o lie_v the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o

the_o soul_n and_o pluck_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n but_o the_o spirit_n work_v this_o and_o the_o soul_n take_v this_o blow_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o spirit_n the_o soul_n be_v pull_v from_o

the_o spirit_n nay_o the_o same_o stroke_n do_v two_o thing_n it_o turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_v the_o same_o hand_n and_o the_o same_o stroke_n do_v both_o these_o as_o for_o example_n when_o

last_o because_o while_o we_o wander_v up_o and_o down_o this_o vale_n of_o tear_n and_o in_o this_o pilgrimage_n of_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v oppress_v with_o many_o evil_n that_o will_v lie_v upon_o

he_o will_v take_v away_o all_o trouble_n and_o wipe_v all_o tear_n from_o our_o eye_n nay_o he_o will_v break_v open_a the_o grave_n and_o deliver_v his_o saint_n from_o thence_o the_o heathen_a to_o

and_o the_o son_n have_v wrought_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o action_n be_v give_v especial_o to_o the_o father_n though_o not_o exclude_v the_o son_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o yet_o howsoever_o

be_v these_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o there_o be_v some_o action_n which_o do_v remain_v in_o god_n which_o be_v confine_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o own_o council_n and_o go_v no_o further_o and_o they_o be_v immanent_a action_n they_o stay_v in_o god_n and_o go_v no_o further_o a_o man_n may_v conceive_v in_o his_o mind_n what_o heresolve_v to_o do_v in_o his_o heart_n whether_o he_o will_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n or_o no_o and_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v what_o he_o intend_v to_o do_v but_o himself_o but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v practice_v answerable_o according_a to_o his_o purpose_n than_o he_o do_v express_v the_o work_n outward_o which_o he_o intend_v inward_o and_o now_o he_o work_v upon_o the_o creature_n and_o make_v it_o to_o receive_v some_o impression_n of_o that_o good_a which_o he_o keep_v secret_o in_o himself_o there_o be_v some_o action_n which_o remain_v in_o god_n as_o the_o decree_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o they_o be_v confine_v within_o the_o high_a council_n table_n of_o heaven_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o never_o appear_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n second_o there_o be_v action_n also_o which_o pass_v from_o god_n upon_o the_o creature_n and_o do_v work_v a_o change_n and_o a_o alteration_n upon_o the_o creature_n and_o these_o we_o call_v transient_a action_n or_o action_n that_o pass_v which_o be_v not_o only_o in_o god_n but_o pass_v from_o god_n and_o do_v frame_v and_o order_n and_o dispose_v of_o the_o creature_n as_o god_n see_v fit_a and_o of_o this_o sort_n be_v all_o the_o action_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o christian_a except_o predestination_n for_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o reveal_v those_o secret_n unto_o any_o by_o the_o work_n of_o vocation_n which_o be_v wrought_v upon_o the_o creature_n for_o there_o the_o lord_n quicken_v desire_v and_o stir_v up_o hope_n and_o kindle_v love_n and_o joy_n and_o the_o lord_n turn_v the_o face_n of_o the_o soul_n god-ward_o and_o in_o adoption_n regeneration_n and_o all_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n and_o of_o this_o kind_n be_v justification_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o call_v it_o a_o transient_a action_n because_o it_o pass_v upon_o the_o creature_n but_o that_o must_v be_v wary_o understand_v with_o a_o grain_n of_o salt_n as_o the_o proverb_n be_v now_o what_o change_n be_v this_o i_o answer_v the_o lord_n work_v a_o change_n upon_o the_o creature_n two_o way_n first_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o pass_v a_o work_n or_o a_o action_n upon_o the_o creature_n when_o he_o put_v some_o kind_n of_o ability_n upon_o the_o creature_n either_o spiritual_a or_o natural_a as_o when_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o wicked_a man_n a_o good_a man_n a_o adulterous_a man_n a_o chaste_a man_n and_o of_o a_o envious_a proud_a malicious_a man_n a_o patient_a meek_a and_o holy_a man_n and_o this_o we_o call_v a_o natural_a change_n because_o there_o be_v a_o gracious_a frame_n put_v into_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n which_o overpower_n the_o creature_n and_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a new_a affection_n new_a desire_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o here_o be_v the_o difficulty_n second_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o make_v a_o change_n upon_o the_o creature_n when_o he_o take_v off_o some_o relation_n and_o respect_n which_o the_o creature_n have_v and_o put_v upon_o it_o some_o other_o respect_n he_o do_v not_o put_v they_o into_o the_o soul_n but_o put_v the_o soul_n into_o another_o room_n and_o they_o be_v not_o natural_o quality_n but_o only_a relation_n which_o be_v imprint_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o these_o be_v call_v moral_a and_o of_o this_o kind_n be_v justification_n as_o thus_o take_v a_o apprentice_n that_o be_v bind_v by_o covenant_n and_o indenture_n for_o so_o many_o year_n and_o he_o be_v now_o fall_v into_o a_o ague_n or_o a_o burn_a fever_n he_o have_v two_o relation_n first_o he_o be_v a_o apprentice_n second_o he_o have_v a_o weak_a sickly_a distemper_a body_n now_o there_o may_v be_v a_o double_a change_n wrought_v in_o this_o man_n according_a to_o this_o double_a disposition_n first_o the_o master_n burn_v the_o indenture_n and_o give_v he_o his_o time_n and_o set_v he_o free_a from_o his_o service_n and_o he_o that_o be_v a_o apprentice_n before_o be_v now_o a_o freeman_n this_o be_v a_o moral_a change_n for_o all_o this_o while_n he_o be_v as_o sick_a as_o he_o be_v before_o but_o the_o former_a relation_n be_v quite_o go_v and_o the_o master_n can_v now_o command_v he_o to_o his_o service_n now_o the_o fellow_n servant_n can_v domineer_v over_o he_o because_o he_o be_v not_o now_o a_o servant_n but_o now_o the_o wise_a physician_n he_o come_v and_o he_o by_o good_a mean_n help_v the_o man_n of_o his_o disease_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o fair_a sweet_a and_o wholesome_a temper_n of_o body_n and_o now_o there_o be_v a_o change_n in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o this_o servant_n before_o he_o be_v distemper_v but_o now_o he_o be_v well_o order_v before_o hot_a but_o now_o fine_o cool_v here_o be_v something_o wrought_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o man_n just_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o change_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o moral_a change_n in_o justification_n a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o law_n and_o liable_a to_o the_o penalty_n of_o it_o and_o guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o now_o god_n the_o father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n acquit_v a_o man_n of_o this_o guilt_n and_o deliver_v he_o from_o this_o revenge_a power_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v not_o all_o but_o withal_o he_o put_v holiness_n into_o the_o heart_n and_o wisdom_n into_o the_o mind_n and_o purity_n into_o the_o affection_n &_o this_o be_v call_v a_o natural_a change_n because_o there_o be_v new_a spiritual_a ability_n put_v into_o the_o heart_n not_o because_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o because_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o it_o work_v as_o to_o take_v the_o example_n of_o scripture_n 1_o john_n 3.14_o we_o be_v translate_v

and_o be_v condemn_v as_o a_o traitor_n the_o man_n be_v weak_a of_o himself_o and_o not_o able_a to_o deliver_v himself_o he_o must_v be_v deal_v by_o as_o a_o traitor_n but_o now_o if_o this_o man_n be_v rescue_v and_o find_v some_o way_n of_o escape_n and_o be_v set_v upon_o some_o other_o shore_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v convey_v
of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o god_n the_o father_n by_o faith_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n the_o meaning_n be_v he_o be_v a_o common_a saviour_n to_o all_o believer_n that_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o common_a ground_n every_o one_o have_v a_o share_n in_o it_o and_o every_o borderer_n though_o never_o so_o poor_a may_v come_v and_o put_v on_o

3._o verse_n of_o jude_n call_v it_o the_o common_a salvation_n not_o common_a to_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n but_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a that_o border_n upon_o the_o promise_n

leviticus_n 16.21_o of_o the_o escape_n goat_n there_o be_v two_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v a_o burn_a offering_n and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o escape_v aaron_n be_v

the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o do_v put_v they_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o goat_n it_o be_v thus_o much_o god_n the_o father_n do_v charge_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n upon_o

our_o iniquity_n and_o i_o think_v it_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o escape_n goat_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v peremptory_o say_v heb._n 7.22_o he_o be_v make_v a_o surety_n

for_o the_o first_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v i_o what_o god_n the_o father_n do_v when_o he_o charge_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a upon_o christ_n answer_v i_o answer_v this_o act_n carry_v three_o thing_n in_o it_o or_o god_n bring_v about_o the_o work_n by_o a_o threefold_a act_n first_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v a_o mutual_a decree_n and_o purpose_n that_o so_o many_o shall_v believe_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o they_o do_v not_o only_o purpose_v this_o but_o they_o do_v make_v a_o mutual_a agreement_n between_o themselves_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v take_v the_o care_n of_o those_o soul_n to_o make_v they_o believe_v and_o to_o save_v they_o by_o believe_v and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n undertake_v the_o

it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v how_o our_o saviour_n there_o speak_v of_o his_o office_n in_o the_o 14._o verse_n he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o good_a shepherd_n and_o know_v i_o and_o be_o know_v of_o i_o that_o be_v i_o know_v those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o my_o charge_n and_o knowledge_n even_o as_o the_o shepherd_n know_v his_o sheep_n but_o how_o do_v the_o lord_n christ_n know_v who_o god_n the_o father_n will_v have_v to_o be_v save_v look_v verse_n 15._o as_o the_o father_n know_v i_o so_o know_v i_o the_o father_n and_o we_o have_v agree_v among_o ourselves_o that_o so_o many_o shall_v be_v save_v the_o father_n have_v say_v i_o will_v have_v so_o many_o soul_n save_v and_o christ_n say_v those_o soul_n shall_v be_v my_o care_n and_o charge_n and_o in_o the_o 16._o verse_n he_o say_v other_o sheeâ—_n i_o have_v also_o which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o sell_v they_o also_o must_v i_o bring_v and_o they_o shall_v hear_v my_o voice_n when_o the_o father_n have_v reveal_v that_o so_o many_o in_o such_o a_o place_n and_o so_o many_o in_o such_o a_o place_n shall_v be_v save_v than_o the_o lord_n christ_n undertake_v the_o care_n of_o they_o and_o he_o call_v at_o such_o a_o door_n and_o say_v i_o must_v have_v that_o poor_a drunken_a creature_n and_o he_o must_v be_v humble_v and_o break_a heart_a and_o he_o must_v believe_v and_o he_o call_v at_o such_o a_o door_n and_o find_v the_o adulterer_n in_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o harlot_n and_o he_o say_v i_o must_v have_v that_o unclean_a wretch_n i_o must_v humble_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o i_o must_v make_v a_o separation_n between_o he_o and_o his_o sin_n a_o good_a shepherd_n will_v have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o sheep_n and_o will_v fetch_v they_o wheresoever_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v with_o david_n he_o do_v fetch_v his_o prey_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lion_n so_o though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o many_o bait_n to_o allure_v a_o man_n yet_o if_o the_o lord_n christ_n intend_v to_o save_v he_o he_o will_v fetch_v he_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lion_n and_o he_o say_v that_o poor_a soul_n be_v i_o i_o have_v take_v the_o charge_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v have_v he_o and_o he_o must_v hear_v my_o voice_n nay_o he_o shall_v hear_v my_o voice_n many_o time_n you_o have_v turn_v the_o deaf_a ear_n upon_o christ_n and_o he_o call_v and_o knock_v and_o yet_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n until_o he_o break_v in_o upon_o the_o soul_n by_o horror_n of_o heart_n therefore_o god_n the_o father_n commit_v the_o care_n of_o all_o those_o wander_a soul_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o will_v have_v they_o by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o husbandman_n that_o have_v a_o great_a flock_n of_o sheep_n and_o he_o

that_o christ_n charge_v they_o upon_o himself_o they_o both_o make_v a_o compact_n that_o poor_a lose_a man_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o christ_n submit_v and_o be_v content_v to_o bear_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o have_v the_o law_n proceed_v against_o he_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n the_o father_n do_v charge_v the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a upon_o christ_n the_o reason_n be_v three_o and_o i_o reason_n from_o the_o explication_n thus_o reason_n 1_o first_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v willing_o yield_v and_o submâ—â—imselfe_n to_o without_o sin_n that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v lay_v upon_o he_o without_o any_o wrong_n and_o may_v charge_v it_o upon_o he_o as_o due_a debt_n i_o say_v what_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o without_o any_o dishonour_n to_o himself_o that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v just_o charge_v upon_o he_o but_o our_o saviour_n do_v willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o take_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o bear_v their_o sorrow_n and_o to_o be_v in_o the_o room_n of_o a_o sinner_n he_o come_v voluntary_o in_o our_o room_n and_o therefore_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o be_v our_o scapegoat_n the_o father_n may_v just_o lay_v and_o charge_v our_o debt_n upon_o he_o because_o he_o have_v take_v they_o upon_o himself_o he_o that_o will_v enter_v into_o bond_n with_o the_o creditor_n and_o free_a the_o debtor_n it_o be_v very_o equal_a that_o the_o creditor_n proceed_v against_o he_o as_o against_o the_o debtor_n reason_n 2_o second_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o suffer_v for_o sinner_n but_o also_o take_v the_o very_a guilt_n of_o sinner_n upon_o himself_o by_o imputation_n and_o be_v in_o their_o room_n and_o that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n do_v require_v this_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n may_v thus_o be_v conceive_v the_o anger_n justice_n and_o severity_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n for_o when_o man_n back_o sin_v and_o fall_v than_o anger_n and_o justice_n begin_v to_o work_v and_o now_o adam_n see_v god_n to_o be_v a_o angry_a and_o a_o just_a god_n now_o the_o glory_n of_o those_o attribute_n appear_v and_o now_o all_o the_o complaint_n stand_v upon_o mercy_n side_n and_o therefore_o mercy_n appeal_v to_o the_o great_a court_n in_o heaven_n and_o then_o it_o say_v wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o goodness_n have_v all_o be_v manifest_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o anger_n and_o justice_n they_o have_v be_v glorify_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n but_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v manifest_v oh_o let_v some_o poor_a soul_n be_v comfort_v and_o save_v that_o they_o may_v know_v there_o be_v a_o merciful_a god_n and_o then_o the_o case_n be_v debate_v only_a justice_n step_n in_o and_o take_v itself_o as_o wrong_v it_o be_v true_a say_v justice_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o mercy_n shall_v be_v honour_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v wrong_v must_v my_o glory_n be_v injure_v will_v you_o have_v a_o company_n of_o sinful_a rebel_n pardon_v and_o forgive_v when_o they_o have_v thus_o abuse_v holiness_n and_o goodness_n and_o resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n nay_o except_o they_o be_v punish_v i_o can_v have_v my_o due_n mercy_n must_v be_v honour_v but_o yet_o justice_n must_v not_o be_v wrong_v now_o god_n be_v a_o just_a god_n and_o he_o must_v give_v every_o one_o their_o due_a glory_n to_o who_o glory_n belong_v and_o justice_n to_o who_o justice_n belong_v justice_n must_v not_o be_v offend_v but_o must_v be_v apay_v and_o have_v its_o right_a this_o be_v the_o controversy_n therefore_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n step_v in_o and_o make_v up_o all_o even_a on_o both_o side_n and_o there_o be_v a_o way_n devise_v whereby_o justice_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v and_o yet_o mercy_n magnify_v and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v mercy_n magnify_v by_o how_o much_o justice_n be_v wrong_v then_o christ_n come_v in_o and_o say_v that_o justice_n shall_v punish_v all_o unbeliever_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v for_o all_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o it_o and_o mercy_n shall_v be_v magnify_v upon_o the_o believe_a soul_n because_o the_o believer_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v divine_a justice_n himself_o therefore_o christ_n jesus_n be_v content_v to_o be_v account_v guilty_a that_o justice_n may_v inflict_v punishment_n upon_o he_o as_o deserve_v it_o for_o otherwise_o to_o punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o to_o acquit_v the_o guilty_a will_v not_o stand_v with_o justice_n now_o therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v have_v his_o due_a from_o he_o and_o yet_o do_v he_o no_o wrong_n therefore_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v account_v guilty_a and_o though_o he_o be_v innocent_a yet_o he_o be_v content_v to_o be_v account_v noceâ—_n now_o if_o god_n in_o justice_n require_v punishment_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o the_o same_o justice_n must_v account_v our_o saviour_n as_o guilty_a otherwise_o he_o shall_v punish_v the_o innocent_a which_o he_o can_v in_o justice_n do_v but_o god_n the_o father_n do_v punish_v christ_n jesus_n for_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v by_o the_o punishment_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v under_o the_o law_n also_o god_n in_o justice_n must_v account_v he_o guilty_a that_o in_o justice_n he_o may_v be_v punish_v so_o the_o issue_n be_v this_o if_o god_n the_o father_n do_v in_o justice_n punish_v christ_n than_o it_o be_v require_v that_o heâ—_n shall_v be_v account_v as_o guilty_a and_o under_o the_o law_n but_o the_o father_n do_v do_v it_o therefore_o he_o do_v account_v he_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o as_o guilty_a and_o do_v lay_v their_o sin_n unto_o his_o charge_n reason_n 3_o three_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o abundant_o be_v magnify_v herein_o in_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o room_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v do_v for_o a_o poor_a sinner_n without_o sin_n that_o he_o do_v do_v in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o christ_n may_v do_v without_o sin_n and_o be_v do_v thereof_o may_v express_v abundance_n of_o love_n not_o only_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o but_o to_o veil_v his_o innocence_n for_o we_o he_o be_v account_v a_o malefactor_n and_o a_o sinner_n for_o we_o this_o be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o admirable_a love_n that_o can_v be_v for_o the_o low_a the_o degree_n of_o his_o abasement_n be_v the_o great_a be_v his_o love_n for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o die_v and_o it_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o veil_v his_o honour_n and_o holiness_n and_o he_o that_o be_v god_n equal_a with_o the_o father_n to_o be_v account_v as_o guilty_a of_o sin_n this_o argue_v marvellous_a mercy_n and_o love_n therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v take_v use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n be_v a_o word_n of_o instruction_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a of_o god_n they_o be_v to_o learn_v this_o point_n of_o wisdom_n be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v lay_v thy_o sin_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n do_v the_o guilt_n of_o they_o lie_v there_o and_o have_v christ_n take_v they_o and_o the_o guilt_n of_o they_o upon_o himself_o and_o the_o condemnation_n due_a unto_o the_o same_o then_o do_v thou_o not_o take_v they_o from_o he_o to_o thyself_o therefore_o what_o the_o jew_n do_v with_o the_o sacrifice_n so_o do_v you_o with_o a_o saviour_n leviticus_n 16.21_o when_o aaron_n come_v to_o offer_v up_o the_o scapegoat_n he_o lay_v both_o his_o hand_n upon_o he_o with_o all_o his_o might_n and_o he_o put_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o israel_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o live_a goat_n the_o hebrew_n writer_n observe_v three_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n first_o he_o lay_v

have_v undertake_v these_o caution_n i_o think_v good_a to_o add_v to_o stop_v the_o mouth_a of_o all_o cavil_n that_o may_v arise_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o that_o be_v weak_a for_o the_o

people_n cry_v grace_n not_o zorobabel_n but_o grace_n so_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o material_a temple_n so_o in_o the_o spiritual_a temple_n as_o in_o the_o outward_a so_o in_o the_o inward_a build_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o humiliation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o salvation_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o conversion_n to_o the_o end_n of_o

all_o from_o christ_n therefore_o when_o christ_n give_v what_o be_v want_v and_o maintain_v what_o he_o give_v and_o quicken_v what_o he_o maintain_v and_o perfect_v what_o he_o quicken_v let_v all_o

through_o christ_n and_o by_o christ_n be_v the_o phrase_n of_o the_o apostle_n roman_n 11.30_o to_o he_o be_v praise_n for_o evermore_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v the_o fountain_n from_o christ_n he_o
