this_o great_a question_n the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v of_o concernment_n every_o day_n among_o you_o you_o know_v there_o the_o three_o act_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n whereby_o a_o soul_n do_v rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o assurance_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v of_o god_n love_n towards_o he_o and_o his_o love_n to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o acknowledgement_n whereby_o a_o man_n do_v own_o and_o acknowledge_v the_o cause_n and_o truth_n of_o christ_n i_o shall_v now_o spend_v some_o time_n and_o show_v you_o how_o satan_n strike_v at_o all_o these_o faith_n and_o withal_o labour_v to_o show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v bare_v off_o his_o blow_n that_o so_o we_o may_v stand_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o our_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v first_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n satan_n do_v sometime_o strike_v at_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n in_o the_o saint_n by_o hide_v from_o they_o their_o former_a experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o they_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v the_o sight_n and_o view_v of_o his_o experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o he_o before_o he_o do_v rely_v on_o god_n and_o he_o say_v i_o will_v for_o ever_o rest_n upon_o god_n and_o rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o thus_o and_o thus_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o the_o i_o heretofore_o now_o therefore_o satan_n do_v labour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n to_o hide_v the_o experience_n of_o the_o saint_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v strike_v at_o their_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v their_o faith_n fail_v but_o then_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v off_o this_o blow_n quest_n thus_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o answ_n 1_o or_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n but_o rather_o deal_v with_o your_o experience_n because_o of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v up_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o ladder_n of_o experience_n but_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v down_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o his_o experience_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 106._o psalm_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o experience_n his_o faith_n will_v soon_o fail_v the_o water_n cover_v their_o enemy_n at_o the_o 11._o verse_n it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o israelite_n when_o they_o come_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n

soon_o forget_v his_o work_n they_o wait_v not_o for_o his_o counsel_n so_o that_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o and_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n for_o if_o your_o experience_n be_v but_o out_o of_o the_o way_n a_o little_a than_o your_o heart_n will_v fail_v and_o your_o faith_n fail_v present_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o mourn_v for_o any_o evil_n answ_n 2_o no_o not_o for_o sin_n itself_o so_o as_o to_o be_v unthankful_a for_o or_o unmindful_a of_o former_a mercy_n we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o this_o and_o satan_n

for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n what_o be_v that_o we_o know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o be_v that_o which_o befall_v afterward_o it_o be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o they_o &_o this_o be_v call_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n that_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o promise_n be_v the_o give_v of_o the_o son_n and_o come_v of_o the_o second_o person_n so_o after_o christ_n come_v the_o great_a promise_n be_v the_o come_n of_o the_o three_o person_n and_o the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o i_o be_o go_v say_v christ_n i_o will_v send_v you_o another_o comforter_n he_o that_o believe_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o live_a water_n this_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o give_v in_o those_o extraordinary_a emanation_n of_o gist_n and_o grace_n because_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o glorisied_a so_o then_o the_o great_a blessing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n the_o great_a gospel-blessing_n be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o be_v a_o gospel-blessing_n indeed_o well_o ques_n but_o what_o do_v christ_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_n it_o be_v observable_a answ_n 1_o that_o when_o any_o superior_a do_v bless_v a_o father_n do_v bless_v his_o child_n or_o the_o like_a he_o do_v observe_v what_o be_v the_o choice_a mercy_n and_o good_a in_o those_o time_n and_o he_o do_v wish_v that_o unto_o his_o child_n or_o unto_o his_o inferior_a and_o so_o in_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n time_n the_o choice_n good_a it_o be_v the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o when_o they_o do_v bless_v their_o child_n they_o wish_v unto_o they_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n so_o now_o when_o our_o jord_n jesus_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v any_o man_n observe_v that_o the_o choice_a mercy_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o favour_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o a_o man_n heart_n he_o do_v wis_v all_o this_o good_a unto_o he_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n lord_n let_v this_o poor_a soul_n have_v thy_o favour_n oh_o cause_n thy_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n and_o give_v out_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o it_o that_o it_o may_v walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o priest_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o they_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v 6.27_o numb_a 6.27_o they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o bless_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v a_o man_n he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v he_o good_a the_o lord_n cause_v his_o face_n for_o to_o shine_v upon_o that_o soul_n in_o a_o way_n of_o wish_v but_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v such_o a_o soul_n to_o be_v bless_v three_o when_o the_o priest_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v the_o people_n bless_v but_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o priest_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o binding-power_n it_o have_v the_o power_n force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o a_o absolution_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n go_v and_o whosoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o shall_v be_v remit_v i_o will_v stand_v by_o you_o in_o it_o so_o say_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o same_o place_n the_o 6._o of_o number_n on_o this_o wise_a shall_v you_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o and_o at_o the_o 27._o verse_n they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o will_v blessethem_fw-mi i_o will_v stand_v by_o they_o in_o this_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v a_o man_n to_o be_v bless_v but_o he_o do_v absolve_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n &_o say_v he_o by_o authority_n that_o be_v give_v to_o i_o from_o my_o father_n the_o key_n that_o be_v put_v into_o my_o hand_n i_o do_v bound_v this_o blessing_n upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n further_o the_o priest_n when_o he_o bless_v indeed_o he_o can_v wish_v well_o and_o he_o can_v pronounce_v a_o man_n bless_v and_o he_o may_v absolve_v but_o he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o he_o can_v not_o confer_v the_o blessing_n he_o can_v not_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n but_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n beyond_o all_o the_o high-priest_n that_o ever_o be_v before_o he_o in_o this_o respect_n too_o where_o he_o do_v bless_v he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n in_o the_o five_o place_n this_o our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v god_n and_o man_n look_v how_o god_n bless_v so_o do_v he_o bless_v in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o god_n the_o father_n bless_v he_o say_v unto_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o blessed_v increase_n and_o multiply_v still_o when_o he_o blessed_v increase_v and_o multiply_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o high-preist_n when_o he_o come_v to_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n or_o pronounce_v he_o bless_v or_o beslow_v a_o good_a thing_n upon_o he_o but_o say_v he_o o_o soul_n multiply_v in_o this_o good_a the_o lord_n increase_v thy_o grace_n and_o thy_o gift_n and_o thy_o comfort_n poor_a soul_n increase_n and_o multiply_v herein_o this_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v thus_o it_o be_v clear_a what_o the_o blssing_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v wherein_o it_o consist_v and_o what_o our_o highpriest_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_v the_o people_n but_o second_o quest_n 2_o do_v this_o blessing_n proper_o or_o special_o belong_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n yes_o answ_n for_o he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n he_o and_o none_o else_o make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o the_o world_n for_o to_o bless_v for_o look_v what_o evil_a jesus_n christ_n endure_v the_o contrary_a good_a he_o merit_v for_o the_o child_n of_o man_n a_o power_n to_o bestow_v that_o good_a now_o he_o above_o all_o be_v curse_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o for_o to_o give_v the_o blessing_n for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n primum_fw-la in_o quolibet_fw-la genere_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o first_o in_o every_o kind_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o rest_n the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o light_n we_o have_v here_o below_o and_o it_o be_v the_o first_o light_n body_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v the_o first_o blessing_n therefore_o have_v they_o god_n blessed_v thou_o for_o ever_o there_o be_v three_o that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o scripture_n especial_o that_o do_v bless_v the_o father_n the_o king_n and_o the_o priest_n the_o father_n do_v bless_v his_o child_n the_o king_n blessed_v his_o subject_n and_o the_o priest_n blessed_v the_o people_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v our_o father_n the_o everlasting_a father_n he_o be_v our_o king_n i_o will_v set_v my_o king_n upon_o my_o holy_a hill_n and_o he_o be_v our_o great_a highpriest_n and_o therefore_o all_o these_o relation_n meet_v in_o he_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n but_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n quest_n 3_o and_o incline_v unto_o it_o yes_o answ_n he_o be_v very_o willing_a this_o blessing_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v a_o work_n whereunto_o he_o be_v much_o incline_v and_o wherein_o he_o be_v most_o delight_v you_o shall_v observe_v therefore_o what_o abundance_n of_o blessing_n christ_n scatter_v among_o the_o people_n when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n you_o do_v read_v that_o ever_o he_o curse_v any_o man_n formal_o curse_v he_o once_o indeed_o he_o pronounce_v a_o curse_n but_o it_o fall_v upon_o a_o barren_a figtree_n not_o upon_o a_o man_n but_o take_v your_o bibles_n and_o turn_v over_o from_o leaf_n to_o leaf_n and_o see_v how_o frequent_a he_o be_v in_o blessing_n and_o consider_v whether_o you_o do_v read_v in_o all_o the_o bible_n of_o any_o preacher_n or_o prophet_n
that_o ever_o in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o preach_n pronounce_v so_o many_o blessing_n as_o christ_n do_v he_o begin_v blessing_n bless_a be_v the_o poor_a and_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o mourn_v and_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o be_v persecute_v for_o my_o name_n sake_n bless_a be_v those_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o he_o take_v little_a child_n into_o his_o arm_n and_o bless_a they_o do_v but_o mark_v in_o all_o the_o gospel_n how_o frequent_a christ_n be_v in_o blessing_n never_o in_o curse_v more_o frequent_a in_o blessing_n than_o ever_o any_o preacher_n be_v in_o all_o his_o sermon_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o because_o this_o work_n of_o bless_v the_o people_n be_v a_o work_n wherein_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n be_v much_o delight_v a_o work_n whereunto_o he_o be_v most_o in_o cline_v well_o but_o do_v he_o do_v it_o quest_n 4_o yes_o he_o do_v do_v it_o and_o do_v it_o full_o answ_n the_o same_o place_n that_o i_o name_v will_v prove_v it_o the_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o beavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n nor_o only_o meritorious_o but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o say_v he_o he_o have_v do_v it_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o he_o have_v do_v it_o by_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v say_v we_o do_v see_v that_o man_n be_v thus_o blessed_v by_o christ_n oject_n oject_n for_o where_o christ_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o wish_v well_o and_o good_a unto_o a_o wan_a but_o he_o bestow_v it_o yea_o he_o do_v not_o only_o bestow_v good_a but_o he_o do_v increase_v and_o multiply_v but_o upon_o this_o account_n how_o few_o be_v there_o in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v blessed_v by_o christ_n for_o answer_v answ_n 1_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n sometime_o unto_o a_o christian_a for_o to_o discern-this_a blessing_n of_o christ_n you_o can_v see_v the_o bough_n fruit_n body_n bark_n of_o the_o tree_n but_o if_o you_o will_v see_v the_o root_n you_o must_v dig_v and_o take_v pain_n for_o to_o see_v it_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o see_v the_o leave_n etc._n etc._n but_o if_o you_o will_v see_v the_o root_n you_o must_v dig_v and_o take_v pain_n for_o it_o this_o blessing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o and_o if_o you_o will_v see_v this_o you_o must_v dig_v and_o take_v pain_n to_o see_v it_o it_o do_v not_o lie_v open_a to_o every_o one_o view_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n do_v not_o bless_v as_o man_n bless_v and_o so_o his_o blessing_n be_v very_o much_o hide_v from_o our_o eye_n he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o we_o do_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n do_v if_o the_o world_n see_v a_o rich_a man_n it_o pronounce_v he_o bless_v oh_o there_o be_v a_o bless_a man_n and_o there_o be_v a_o happy_a man_n what_o a_o excellent_a dwelling_n have_v he_o how_o healthful_a his_o table_n be_v spread_v etc._n etc._n the_o world_n bless_v rich_a man_n pronounce_v they_o happy_a and_o bless_a but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v as_o jacob_n do_v when_o joseph_n bring_v his_o two_o son_n to_o jacob_n to_o be_v blessed_v by_o he_o he_o set_v ephraim_n the_o young_a at_o the_o left_a hand_n of_o jacob_n and_o he_o set_v manasses_n the_o elder_a at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o jacob_n that_o jacob_n may_v give_v the_o right-hand_a blessing_n to_o the_o elder_a and_o the_o left-hand_a blessing_n to_o the_o young_a but_o when_o joseph_n have_v set_v they_o thus_o before_o jacob_n jacob_n cross_v hand_n and_o he_o turn_v the_o right-hand_a blessing_n to_o the_o young_a so_o two_o man_n be_v bring_v before_o christ_n a_o rich_a man_n it_o may_v be_v and_o a_o poor_a man_n and_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n the_o rich_a man_n must_v carry_v the_o blessing_n oh_o but_o our_o lord_n christ_n he_o cross_v hand_n and_o he_o lay_v the_o blessing_n upon_o the_o young_a brother_n many_o time_n and_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o ordinance_n two_o sort_n of_o ordinance_n be_v bring_v before_o christ_n god_n ordinance_n and_o man_n ordinance_n and_o man_n ordinance_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o elder_a brother_n and_o god_n ordinance_n the_o young_a brother_n and_o both_o these_o be_v bring_v before_o christ_n for_o a_o blessing_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o world_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n he_o cross_v hand_n and_o he_o lay_v the_o blessing_n upon_o the_o young_a brother_n in_o this_o respect_n and_o so_o two_o man_n be_v bring_v before_o he_o a_o proud_a pharisee_fw-mi and_o a_o poor_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n the_o pharisee_n come_v unto_o the_o right-hand_a of_o christ_n &_o think_v for_o to_o carry_v the_o blessing_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n cross_n hand_n &_o lay_v the_o right-hand_a blessing_n upon_o the_o poor_a brokenhearted_a sinner_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o proud_a pharisee_fw-mi the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n bless_v again_o as_o he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n bless_v answ_n 2_o so_o he_o do_v not_o bless_v always_o as_o professor_n bless_v professor_n they_o do_v ordinary_o bless_v man_n according_a unto_o their_o outward_a privilege_n gospel_n and_o church-priviledge_n oh_o say_v the_o woman_n unto_o christ_n blessed_n be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o bless_v be_v the_o pap_n that_o give_v thou_o suck_v christ_n cross_n hand_n nay_o but_o say_v christ_n bless_v be_v those_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o and_o do_v my_o commandment_n you_o bless_v according_a to_o outward_a privilege_n i_o do_v go_v that_o way_n of_o blessing_n say_v christ_n he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o professor_n bless_v always_o three_o he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o godly_a man_n do_v bless_v always_o answ_n 3_o as_o gracious_a man_n bless_v not_o always_o for_o you_o that_o be_v godly_a you_o pronounce_v such_o a_o man_n bless_v as_o have_v much_o grace_n and_o have_v assurance_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o one_o that_o have_v strong_a and_o great_a part_n and_o able_a to_o carry_v away_o whole_a sermon_n word_n for_o word_n and_o of_o strong_a memory_n and_o large_a gift_n that_o be_v head_n and_o shoulder_n above_o their_o fellow_n but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o always_o bless_v thus_o blessed_n be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n say_v he_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o mourn_v he_o do_v say_v bless_a be_v those_o that_o rejoice_v or_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o have_v the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n or_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o be_v strong_a in_o grace_n no_o but_o do_v thou_o know_v a_o poor_a weak_a christian_a a_o mourn_a soul_n like_o a_o dove_n of_o the_o valley_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o bless_v he_o thus_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o we_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v as_o the_o world_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v always_o as_o professor_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o bless_v always_o as_o godly_a man_n bless_v and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o his_o blessing_n be_v hide_v children_n when_o they_o be_v very_o young_a be_v often_o blessed_v by_o their_o parent_n and_o they_o do_v mind_n it_o or_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o child_n of_o two_o or_o three_o year_n old_a and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o a_o gracious_a soul_n bless_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o do_v it_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o father_n blessing_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v always_o bless_v his_o people_n only_o there_o be_v several_a time_n special_a season_n that_o he_o give_v out_o his_o blessing_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o those_o time_n a_o little_a that_o so_o you_o may_v come_v for_o his_o blessing_n while_o his_o hand_n be_v in_o as_o it_o be_v so_o that_o you_o may_v be_v crown_v with_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n first_o when_o christ_n our_o highpriest_n do_v see_v that_o a_o man_n be_v weak_a in_o grace_n or_o weak_a in_o gift_n and_o have_v some_o work_n or_o service_n for_o he_o to_o do_v some_o employment_n to_o call_v he_o forth_o unto_o then_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v bless_v he_o there_o be_v two_o time_n especial_o as_o i_o remember_v that_o the_o lord_n speak_v those_o word_n concern_v man_n increase_n and_o multiply_v once_o in_o the_o beginning_n when_o he_o have_v make_v man_n and_o woman_n and_o once_o in_o the_o 9_o
excel_v all_o the_o high-priest_n that_o ever_o be_v as_o for_o other_o high-priest_n they_o do_v not_o take_v a_o oath_n when_o they_o come_v into_o their_o office_n but_o he_o swear_v other_o
