the_o work_n of_o christ_n suffering_n far_o it_o will_v more_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o 34._o verse_n tell_v you_o that_o for_o this_o work_n sake_n of_o christ_n

before_o upon_o the_o sacrifice_n altar_n overlay_v with_o brass_n because_o now_o he_o act_v not_o as_o a_o nocent_a person_n but_o as_o a_o innocent_a person_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n phil._n 2._o 8_o 9_o speak_v of_o christ_n say_v and_o be_v find_v in_o fashion_n like_o a_o man_n he_o humble_v himself_o and_o become_v obedient_a to_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o

much_o for_o our_o comfort_n that_o as_o our_o saviour_n take_v all_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o become_v guilty_a with_o they_o before_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n so_o now_o it_o be_v most_o

never_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n now_o this_o be_v that_o which_o fill_v up_o the_o comfort_n of_o believer_n that_o christ_n be_v translate_v from_o the_o altar_n overlay_v
