shall_v show_v you_o in_o every_o respect_n how_o the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n do_v witness_n first_o therefore_o concern_v the_o full_a assurance_n of_o understanding_n concern_v jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o then_o concern_v all_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o second_o place_n and_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o remember_v a_o distinction_n i_o give_v you_o the_o last_o day_n i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v immanent_a act_n of_o faith_n as_o they_o say_v those_o that_o remain_v and_o stay_v within_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n there_o be_v act_n then_o and_o motion_n of_o faith_n when_o faith_n stay_v within_o in_o that_o great_a point_n of_o take_v christ_n and_o then_o there_o be_v truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v ad_fw-la extra_n as_o they_o say_v or_o without_o that_o do_v not_o immediate_o concern_v that_o great_a point_n of_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n but_o flow_v from_o it_o no_o i_o will_v make_v this_o plain_n to_o you_o by_o set_v two_o point_n of_o scripture_n before_o you_o of_o which_o faith_n have_v a_o assurance_n but_o one_o be_v like_o faith_n stay_v at_o home_n and_o within_o itself_o and_o within_o christ_n in_o the_o great_a point_n of_o redemption_n and_o justification_n as_o now_o here_o be_v this_o great_a truth_n that_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n sinner_n of_o who_o every_o one_o may_v say_v i_o be_o chief_a now_o when_o faith_n act_v upon_o this_o truth_n jesus_n christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n of_o who_o i_o be_o chief_a and_o so_o that_o he_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o sinner_n and_o give_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o atonement_n all_o these_o be_v truth_n proper_o within_o faith_n and_o christ_n and_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v upon_o they_o it_o be_v at_o home_n with_o itself_o and_o faith_n be_v also_o at_o home_n with_o christ_n and_o with_o the_o soul_n in_o they_o but_o now_o here_o be_v another_o great_a truth_n that_o whoever_o it_o be_v that_o do_v not_o cut_v off_o his_o right_a hand_n or_o pull_v out_o his_o right_a eye_n and_o cut_v off_o his_o right_a foot_n he_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n where_o their_o worm_n die_v not_o and_o their_o fire_n be_v not_o quench_v now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a truth_n of_o christ_n and_o faith_n have_v assurance_n of_o this_o truth_n but_o yet_o when_o it_o act_v upon_o this_o truth_n pray_v observe_v it_o do_v not_o stay_v within_o proper_o with_o christ_n and_o within_o itself_o in_o the_o point_n of_o believe_v but_o it_o go_v out_o to_o a_o truth_n that_o lie_v without_o as_o to_o the_o great_a point_n of_o justification_n so_o that_o if_o you_o say_v wherein_o be_v faith_n justify_v faith_n in_o relation_n to_o truth_n i_o desire_v that_o i_o may_v be_v understand_v i_o say_v when_o it_o be_v ask_v wherein_o be_v faith_n justify_v faith_n as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o in_o believe_v that_o whosoever_o do_v not_o cut_v off_o his_o right_a hand_n or_o pluck_v out_o his_o right_a eye_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o darkness_n it_o be_v true_a this_o always_o be_v together_o with_o justify_v faith_n but_o it_o be_v not_o that_o wherein_o faith_n proper_o justify_v but_o all_o the_o truth_n concern_v the_o blood_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v truth_n that_o faith_n act_v upon_o when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o great_a point_n of_o justification_n as_o it_o be_v act_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n now_o this_o be_v not_o many_o time_n well_o consider_v it_o make_v a_o great_a confusion_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justify_v faith_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v say_v and_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v careful_o remember_v that_o no_o one_o may_v any_o way_n take_v offence_n or_o mention_v what_o i_o say_v to_o give_v offence_n i_o say_v that_o that_o truth_n that_o a_o man_n that_o do_v not_o cut_v off_o his_o hand_n or_o pluck_v out_o his_o right_a eye_n which_o mean_v any_o lust_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o true_a justify_v faith_n but_o i_o say_v again_o that_o faith_n act_v upon_o that_o truth_n do_v not_o justify_v but_o act_v upon_o the_o great_a truth_n wherein_o jesus_n christ_n be_v hold_v forth_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n a_o propitiation_n a_o mediator_n a_o intercessor_n and_o redeemer_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n give_v a_o mighty_a power_n to_o these_o great_a truth_n and_o to_o every_o truth_n that_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o gospel_n but_o especial_o with_o this_o great_a principal_a truth_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o have_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o sinner_n for_o you_o see_v very_o plain_o in_o this_o place_n that_o i_o have_v quote_v to_o you_o pray_v consider_v it_o who_o be_v he_o that_o overcome_v the_o world_n but_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n faith_n be_v therefore_o in_o its_o immanent_a action_n when_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o sinner_n this_o be_v the_o immanent_a truth_n that_o faith_n fix_v upon_o but_o then_o when_o it_o come_v to_o that_o truth_n that_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n that_o can_v never_o be_v separate_v from_o this_o truth_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o faith_n act_v upon_o that_o truth_n or_o any_o like_o it_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n it_o do_v not_o act_n like_o justify_v faith_n strict_o take_v in_o that_o point_n of_o believe_v because_o justification_n flow_v only_o from_o the_o righteousness_n from_o the_o blood_n from_o the_o obedience_n from_o the_o redemption_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o to_o find_v a_o mighty_a power_n to_o find_v the_o soul_n impregnate_v and_o fill_v out_o in_o all_o the_o truth_n that_o concern_v jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o all_o the_o other_o great_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o christ_n have_v speak_v here_o be_v the_o strength_n and_o the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n and_o it_o flow_v from_o god_n in_o and_o through_o christ_n for_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o great_a and_o principal_a actor_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v receive_v all_o truth_n i_o say_v the_o great_a and_o the_o principal_a actor_n as_o you_o may_v find_v the_o stability_n of_o faith_n the_o great_a balance_n and_o poise_n of_o faith_n that_o keep_v it_o steady_a and_o even_a heb._n 13._o 8._o jesus_n christ_n the_o same_o yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n for_o ever_o be_v not_o carry_v about_o with_o diverse_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n jesus_n christ_n the_o same_o yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n as_o he_o say_v himself_o the_o truth_n the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n he_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o son_n of_o the_o father_n in_o truth_n and_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o i_o will_v a_o little_a further_o clear_v to_o you_o this_o distinction_n of_o the_o immanent_a act_n of_o faith_n and_o show_v you_o whence_o i_o take_v the_o word_n you_o know_v in_o that_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n divine_n when_o they_o treat_v of_o it_o they_o say_v that_o those_o action_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o spirit_n themselves_o and_o no_o create_v bing_n come_v between_o they_o call_v they_o immanent_a action_n of_o the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o father_n beget_v and_o know_v the_o son_n so_o the_o son_n know_v the_o father_n and_o that_o he_o be_v beget_v of_o he_o the_o holy_a spirit_n proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n know_v and_o glorifi_v in_o every_o thing_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o proceed_v from_o they_o now_o while_o they_o be_v act_v within_o in_o the_o divine_a be_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o spirit_n one_o with_o another_o those_o be_v call_v immanent_a act_n but_o when_o they_o go_v outward_a either_o to_o angel_n or_o man_n or_o any_o of_o the_o creature_n then_o they_o be_v call_v extra-act_n or_o ad_fw-la extra_fw-la or_o transient_a act_n because_o they_o go_v out_o from_o the_o divine_a be_v to_o the_o creature_n i_o make_v use_n of_o it_o to_o explain_v the_o immanent_a act_n of_o faith_n the_o immanent_a act_n of_o faith_n be_v upon_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o blood_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o point_n of_o repentance_n or_o obedience_n or_o love_n or_o self_n resignation_n to_o christ_n but_o whole_o and_o sole_o in_o

blood_n o_o consider_v how_o your_o soul_n be_v act_v to_o he_o and_o so_o go_v from_o thence_o to_o all_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v no_o separation_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o the_o same_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v that_o strength_n that_o go_v out_o and_o create_v this_o world_n act_n ad_fw-la extra_fw-la or_o without_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n why_o so_o the_o faith_n which_o in_o its_o immanent_a act_n stay_v upon_o christ_n and_o his_o blood_n it_o also_o pass_v and_o go_v out_o upon_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n but_o then_o the_o second_o thing_n with_o which_o i_o will_v conclude_v be_v this_o that_o you_o mind_v these_o mighty_a power_n that_o act_n faith_n o_o mind_n all_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o great_a scripture_n that_o i_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o last_o day_n and_o with_o which_o i_o will_v close_v 〈◊〉_d discourse_n which_o show_v you_o that_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o faith_n be_v from_o god_n and_o from_o christ_n ephes_n 3._o 14._o for_o this_o cause_n i_o bow_v my_o knee_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o the_o whole_a family_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v name_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v unto_o you_o according_a to_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v strengthen_v with_o may_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n here_o you_o have_v the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n join_v in_o this_o great_a power_n of_o faith_n that_o you_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v

throughout_o all_o age_n world_n without_o end_n amen_n the_o end_n of_o the_o five_o sermon_n the_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v etc._n etc._n the_o six_o sermon_n rom._n 5._o 1._o therefore_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n from_o these_o word_n i_o have_v pitch_v upon_o that_o great_a point_n and_o doctrine_n of_o justify_v faith_n or_o of_o that_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o this_o faith_n it_o eye_n christ_n in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n as_o i_o prove_v from_o john_n 17._o 7_o 8._o far_o they_o have_v know_v concern_v i_o that_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o be_v of_o thou_o for_o i_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o the_o word_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o and_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o as_o so_o give_v unto_o i_o and_o have_v know_v sure_o that_o i_o come_v out_o from_o thou_o and_o they_o have_v believe_v that_o thou_o do_v send_v i_o so_o here_o be_v a_o constant_a eye_n of_o faith_n upon_o christ_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o have_v never_o be_v such_o a_o notion_n of_o faith_n in_o scripture-sense_n in_o gospel_n sense_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o christ_n if_o he_o the_o mediator_n have_v not_o be_v give_v i_o have_v speak_v of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o the_o ground_n why_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o justify_v here_o mean_v which_o i_o have_v not_o mention_v before_o to_o you_o but_o rather_o depend_v upon_o other_o scripture_n for_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o now_o viz._n why_o this_o faith_n or_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o faith_n that_o justify_v even_o out_o of_o that_o john_n 17._o 7_o 8._o and_o the_o reason_n i_o give_v for_o it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v the_o faith_n upon_o which_o christ_n intercede_v pray_v observe_v it_o christ_n intercede_v for_o believer_n upon_o the_o faith_n that_o believer_n know_v sure_o and_o believe_v concern_v jesus_n christ_n for_o in_o the_o very_a next_o word_n you_o may_v observe_v it_o i_o pray_v for_o they_o say_v he_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n so_o he_o intercede_v for_o they_o they_o have_v know_v and_o believe_v that_o christ_n do_v sure_o come_v forth_o from_o god_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n of_o christ_n be_v divine_a infinite_o divine_a original_o divine_a now_o therefore_o upon_o whatsoever_o christ_n intercede_v pray_v consider_v in_o the_o very_a same_o line_n our_o foundation_n for_o righteousness_n and_o acceptance_n through_o christ_n rest_v his_o justify_v righteousness_n and_o redemption_n and_o his_o intercession_n run_v all_o upon_o one_o line_n together_o that_o be_v a_o plain_a point_n they_o go_v together_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o two_o place_n of_o scripture_n because_o i_o will_v not_o prevent_v myself_o in_o what_o i_o have_v especial_o to_o discourse_v of_o one_o be_v heb._n 9_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o all_o scripture_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o great_a price_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n god_n set_v forth_o christ_n as_o a_o propitiaton_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n now_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n enter_v by_o his_o blood_n into_o heaven_n heb._n 9_o 12._o but_o by_o his_o own_o blood_n he_o enter_v in_o once_o into_o the_o holy_a place_n have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o christ_n intercede_v now_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a place_n into_o that_o holy_a place_n make_v without_o hand_n he_o enter_v to_o intercede_v and_o again_o ver_fw-la 24._o christ_n enter_v not_o into_o the_o holy_a place_n make_v with_o hand_n which_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o true_a but_o into_o heaven_n itself_o now_o to_o appear_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o we_o so_o that_o he_o intercede_v plain_o upon_o his_o blood_n for_o where_o he_o intercede_v he_o enter_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o in_o 1_o john_n 2._o 1._o you_o also_o have_v the_o advocateship_n and_o the_o propitiation_n of_o christ_n join_v together_o my_o little_a child_n these_o thing_n write_v i_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o sin_v not_o and_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n viz._n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o

upon_o the_o faith_n of_o believer_n i_o pray_v for_o they_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n viz._n for_o they_o who_o know_v sure_o and_o believe_v in_o i_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o open_a faith_n also_o to_o you_o so_o that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o right_a understanding_n that_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o we_o or_o a_o grace_n in_o we_o or_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o only_o by_o its_o receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n they_o have_v know_v and_o they_o have_v sure_o know_v and_o they_o have_v believe_v that_o thou_o do_v send_v i_o knowledge_n or_o as_o the_o learned_a speak_v and_o the_o great_a man_n of_o reason_n call_v it_o science_n be_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o understanding_n now_o this_o our_o lord_n attribute_n to_o faith_n in_o that_o john_n 17._o they_o have_v know_v for_o christ_n do_v not_o come_v mean_o down_o when_o he_o have_v say_v they_o have_v

that_o point_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o deliverance_n from_o wrath_n to_o come_v but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o take_v any_o of_o the_o great_a truth_n of_o scripture_n and_o they_o be_v never_o separate_v from_o that_o justify_n faith_n all_o the_o action_n of_o creation_n and_o government_n of_o providence_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o the_o divine_a be_v the_o father_n word_n and_o spirit_n creation_n and_o providence_n you_o know_v be_v attribute_v to_o they_o all_o and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o this_o may_v much_o help_v your_o thought_n because_o man_n discourse_v promiscuous_o as_o if_o we_o be_v as_o well_o justify_v by_o love_n to_o christ_n and_o by_o mortify_v a_o lust_n as_o by_o take_v hold_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o ransom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o if_o one_o truth_n be_v as_o essential_a to_o justify_v faith_n as_o another_o now_o i_o acknowledge_v they_o be_v never_o separate_v to_o take_v off_o all_o scandal_n and_o offence_n from_o man_n and_o yet_o i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o immanence_n in_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n when_o it_o be_v act_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o i_o will_v be_v something_o more_o large_a in_o and_o that_o be_v concern_v full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n in_o point_n of_o conscience_n or_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o assurance_n that_o god_n be_v we_o now_o if_o i_o can_v here_o make_v out_o to_o you_o how_o that_o assurance_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n and_o how_o it_o be_v bear_v up_o by_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o father_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n i_o shall_v think_v it_o be_v to_o great_a edification_n i_o say_v if_o i_o be_v in_o any_o measure_n able_a to_o make_v it_o out_o according_a to_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o thing_n i_o shall_v therefore_o go_v as_o far_o as_o the_o lord_n shall_v please_v to_o assist_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o it_o therefore_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v say_v to_o you_o by_o which_o a_o man_n come_v to_o have_v a_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n i_o shall_v speak_v it_o in_o the_o very_a scripture_n language_n it_o be_v first_o of_o all_o by_o a_o immediate_a voice_n of_o the_o blood_n i_o say_v by_o a_o immediate_a voice_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o it_o be_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o water_n from_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o piace_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o in_o the_o four_o place_n that_o the_o father_n from_o heaven_n come_v and_o ratify_v and_o assure_v this_o testimony_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o in_o the_o water_n first_o i_o say_v it_o proceed_v immediate_o for_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n from_o the_o blood_n for_o nothing_o do_v so_o immediate_o speak_v peace_n to_o a_o sinner_n as_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o so_o many_o thing_n be_v speak_v of_o christ_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o of_o his_o death_n and_o of_o his_o suffering_n i_o may_v give_v you_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o put_v most_o upon_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n as_o to_o our_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n than_o upon_o any_o thing_n i_o say_v upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n you_o know_v heb._n 9_o and_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v that_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o that_o of_o abel_n c._n 12._o and_o heb._n 10_o 24._o have_v boldness_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a it_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o blood_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n heb._n 13._o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v from_o all_o unrighteousness_n 1_o john_n 1_o who_o love_v we_o and_o wash_v in_o his_o blood_n rev._n 1._o and_o rev._n c._n 7._o they_o have_v wash_v their_o robe_n white_a in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v proportionable_o in_o this_o 1_o john_n 5._o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o there_o be_v the_o spirit_n the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n the_o blood_n it_o have_v a_o immediate_a voice_n and_o this_o be_v he_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o come_v by_o water_n and_o by_o blood_n not_o by_o water_n only_o pray_v observe_v that_o it_o put_v a_o emphasis_n upon_o the_o blood_n not_o by_o water_n only_o but_o by_o water_n and_o blood_n so_o i_o say_v whenever_o our_o soul_n come_v indeed_o to_o have_v the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o peace_n with_o god_n it_o be_v by_o blood_n the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n which_o be_v carry_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n we_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n we_o have_v confidence_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n o_o therefore_o when_o christ_n be_v please_v to_o send_v out_o the_o mighty_a efflux_n the_o efluvium_n of_o his_o blood_n when_o he_o send_v they_o out_o and_z draws_z and_o twist_n and_o bring_v back_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o heart_n upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v please_v to_o do_v thus_o those_o strong_a act_n upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v recoil_v and_o come_v back_o upon_o the_o soul_n and_o upon_o the_o conscience_n with_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o blood_n therefore_o bless_a be_v he_o that_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o hear_v in_o his_o own_o conscience_n the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v better_a thing_n than_o that_o of_o abel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n because_o i_o treat_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v of_o it_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n come_v in_o by_o the_o water_n now_o i_o confess_v i_o shall_v give_v somewhat_o another_o interpretation_n than_o i_o have_v know_v give_v concern_v water_n for_o i_o look_v upon_o the_o water_n not_o as_o some_o will_v very_a chilly_n and_o cold_o understand_v it_o of_o baptism_n except_o that_o spiritual_a baptism_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o i_o always_o desire_v to_o magnify_v or_o that_o it_o be_v mere_o sanctification_n which_o the_o generality_n of_o interpreter_n give_v it_o to_o be_v but_o by_o water_n i_o understand_v the_o very_a obedience_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n separate_v from_o his_o suffering_n that_o great_a obedience_n which_o be_v like_o a_o river_n pure_a as_o crystal_n that_o run_v through_o the_o whole_a obedience_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o very_a beginning_n to_o the_o end_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o take_v it_o so_o and_o not_o to_o be_v sanctification_n be_v this_o because_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o this_o 5_o chapter_n of_o the_o one_a epistle_n of_o john_n this_o be_v he_o that_o come_v by_o water_n and_o by_o blood_n not_o by_o water_n only_o but_o by_o water_n and_o blood_n he_o come_v himself_o by_o water_n and_o by_o blood_n he_o himself_o come_v this_o he_o take_v notice_n of_o he_o he_o come_v by_o water_n and_o he_o come_v by_o blood_n he_o come_v by_o the_o water_n of_o a_o pure_a and_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o imperfection_n or_o soil_n or_o the_o least_o of_o blemish_n he_o come_v by_o this_o water_n and_o so_o you_o find_v the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v often_o mention_v in_o scripture_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o that_o place_n for_o all_o rom._n 5._o v._n 18._o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o by_o the_o obedience_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n but_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v make_v righteous_a ver_fw-la 19_o and_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o disobedience_n of_o one_o and_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o so_o obedience_n and_o righteousness_n they_o be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o import_n and_o the_o come_n by_o water_n i_o say_v be_v come_v by_o the_o perfect_a obedience_n righteousness_n of_o the_o whole_a nature_n and_o action_n and_o performance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o therefore_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v salute_v as_o i_o may_v so_o express_v it_o by_o christ_n with_o this_o obedience_n in_o his_o hand_n when_o he_o come_v say_v christ_n to_o the_o soul_n i_o have_v obey_v i_o have_v fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n i_o have_v do_v always_o the_o
