that_o the_o heart_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v as_o gracious_o incline_v to_o sinner_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v on_o earth_n §._o 1._o the_o first_o sort_n of_o

that_o which_o christ_n allege_v john_n 6._o 37._o as_o the_o original_a ground_n of_o this_o disposition_n of_o he_o not_o to_o cast_v out_o those_o that_o come_v to_o he_o for_o it_o be_v my_o

will_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o move_v he_o to_o do_v it_o much_o more_o if_o it_o be_v his_o express_a command_n and_o in_o this_o 10._o of_o john_n he_o further_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o

put_v together_o first_o that_o this_o affection_n of_o he_o towards_o we_o here_o speak_v of_o be_v manifest_o mean_v of_o his_o humane_a nature_n and_o not_o of_o his_o god_n head_n only_o for_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o nature_n wherein_o he_o once_o be_v tempt_v as_o we_o now_o be_v so_o express_o in_o the_o next_o word_n which_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o no_o other_o than_o his_o humane_a nature_n and_o second_o that_o those_o kind_n of_o expression_n which_o be_v use_v of_o god_n before_o the_o assumption_n of_o our_o nature_n only_o in_o a_o way_n of_o metaphor_n and_o similitude_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n shall_v in_o no_o further_a or_o more_o real_a and_o proper_a sense_n be_v speak_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o humane_a nature_n now_o assume_v &_o when_o he_o be_v a_o man_n as_o true_o and_o proper_o as_o we_o be_v i_o can_v imagine_v when_o i_o consider_v and_o remember_v that_o which_o i_o last_o insist_v on_o that_o one_o end_n of_o christ_n take_v a_o humane_a nature_n be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a highpriest_n for_o ever_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o he_o be_v god_n alone_o can_v not_o have_v be_v i_o confess_v i_o have_v often_o wonder_v at_o that_o expression_n there_o use_v heb._n 2._o he_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o he_o may_v he_o make_v a_o merciful_a high-priest_n which_o at_o the_o first_o read_v sounded_z as_o if_o god_n have_v be_v make_v more_o merciful_a by_o take_v our_o nature_n but_o this_o solve_v the_o wonder_n that_o this_o assumption_n add_v a_o new_a way_n of_o god_n be_v merciful_a by_o mean_n of_o which_o it_o may_v now_o be_v say_v for_o the_o comfort_n and_o relief_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o god_n be_v true_o and_o real_o merciful_a as_o a_o man_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o contribute_v this_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n that_o whereas_o god_n of_o himself_o be_v so_o bless_v and_o perfect_a that_o his_o blessedness_n can_v not_o have_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o least_o feeling_n of_o our_o infirmity_n neither_o be_v he_o in_o himself_o capable_a of_o any_o such_o affection_n of_o pity_n or_o compassion_n he_o be_v not_o as_o a_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v pity_v or_o repent_v etc._n etc._n he_o can_v indeed_o do_v that_o for_o we_o in_o our_o distress_n which_o a_o man_n that_o pity_v we_o use_v to_o do_v but_o the_o affection_n and_o bowel_n themselves_o he_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o hence_o therefore_o among_o other_o end_n of_o assume_v man_n nature_n this_o fell_a in_o before_o god_n as_o one_o that_o god_n may_v thereby_o become_v love_v and_o merciful_a unto_o man_n as_o one_o man_n be_v to_o another_o and_o so_o that_o what_o before_o be_v but_o improper_o speak_v and_o by_o way_n of_o metaphor_n and_o similitude_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o to_o convey_v it_o to_o our_o apprehension_n may_v now_o be_v true_o attribute_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o reality_n that_o god_n may_v be_v for_o ever_o say_v to_o be_v compassionate_a as_o a_o man_n and_o to_o be_v touch_v with_o a_o feel_n of_o our_o infirmity_n as_o a_o man_n and_o thus_o by_o this_o happy_a union_n of_o both_o nature_n the_o language_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n utter_v only_o in_o a_o figure_n become_v verify_v and_o fulfil_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n the_o shadow_n of_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n fulfil_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o step_n towards_o the_o understanding_n of_o what_o be_v here_o say_v of_o christ_n take_v from_o this_o comparison_n with_o the_o like_a attribute_v unto_o god_n
