by_o we_o ii_o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o way_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o examine_v the_o several_a sense_n of_o christ_n jesus_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n which_o of_o they_o tend_v more_o to_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o mankind_n or_o which_o be_v more_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n and_o that_o will_v appear_v by_o consider_v these_o thing_n 1._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o raise_v our_o esteem_n and_o love_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 2._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o beget_n in_o we_o a_o great_a hatred_n of_o sin_n 3._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o the_o strengthen_v our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ._n 1._o as_o to_o the_o raise_n in_o we_o a_o great_a esteem_n and_o love_n of_o christ._n we_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o infinite_a love_n and_o condescension_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o undertake_v such_o a_o work_n as_o the_o save_n of_o sinner_n make_v 〈◊〉_d most_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n some_o man_n may_v please_v themselves_o in_o think_v that_o by_o take_v away_o all_o mystery_n they_o have_v make_v their_o faith_n more_o easy_a but_o i_o be_o certain_a they_o have_v extreme_o lessen_v the_o argument_n for_o our_o love_n viz._n the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o wonderful_a love_n and_o condescension_n of_o christ_n in_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o persuade_v mankind_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o son_n 3.16_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o mighty_a argument_n of_o love_n if_o by_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n be_v mean_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n who_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n as_o s._n john_n speak_v just_a before_o 13._o but_o if_o no_o more_o be_v mean_v but_o only_o that_o god_n make_v a_o mere_a man_n to_o be_v his_o son_n and_o after_o he_o have_v preach_v a_o while_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o be_v ill_o use_v and_o crucify_v by_o his_o own_o people_n he_o exalt_v he_o to_o be_v god_n and_o give_v he_o divine_a attribute_n and_o honour_n this_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o great_a love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o not_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n but_o god_n love_n in_o scripture_n be_v magnify_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o world_n in_o the_o send_n of_o his_o son_n in_o this_o be_v manifest_v say_v the_o apostle_n the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o 4.9_o because_o that_o god_n send_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v through_o he_o 10._o herein_o be_v love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o great_a love_n we_o still_o see_v be_v towards_o we_o i_o e._n towards_o mankind_n but_o according_a to_o the_o other_o sense_n it_o must_v have_v be_v herein_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n manifest_v to_o his_o son_n that_o for_o his_o suffering_n he_o exalt_v he_o above_o all_o creature_n he_o that_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n say_v s._n paul_n 8.32_o but_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o if_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n who_o come_v to_o suffer_v for_o we_o there_o be_v a_o mighty_a force_n and_o emphasis_n in_o this_o expression_n and_o very_o apt_a to_o raise_v our_o admiration_n and_o our_o love_n but_o what_o not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n be_v there_o if_o nothing_o be_v mean_v but_o that_o he_o design_v by_o suffering_n to_o exalt_v he_o for_o not_o spare_v he_o suppose_v a_o antecedent_n relation_n of_o the_o high_a kindness_n but_o the_o other_o be_v only_o design_v extraordinary_a kindness_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o suffering_n therefore_o the_o argument_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v take_v from_o what_o his_o son_n be_v when_o he_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o he_o be_v his_o own_o son_n not_o by_o adoption_n as_o other_o be_v s._n john_n call_v he_o 3.22_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n and_o god_n himself_o his_o belove_a son_n in_o the_o voice_n from_o heaven_n and_o this_o before_o his_o suffering_n immediate_o after_o his_o baptism_n when_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o extraordinary_a do_v by_o he_o as_o to_o the_o great_a design_n of_o his_o come_n which_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o antecedent_n relation_n between_o he_o and_o the_o father_n and_o that_o therein_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v manifest_v that_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o for_o our_o sake_n do_v and_o suffer_v what_o he_o do_v this_o be_v indeed_o a_o argument_n great_a enough_o to_o raise_v our_o admiration_n to_o excite_v our_o devotion_n to_o inflame_v our_o affection_n but_o how_o flat_a and_o low_o do_v it_o appear_v when_o it_o come_v to_o no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o man_n who_o after_o his_o suffering_n god_n raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o make_v he_o a_o god_n by_o office_n do_v this_o carry_v any_o such_o argument_n in_o it_o for_o our_o esteem_n and_o love_n and_o devotion_n to_o he_o as_o the_o other_o do_v upon_o the_o most_o serious_a consideration_n of_o it_o 2._o which_o tend_v most_o to_o beget_v in_o we_o a_o great_a hatred_n of_o sin_n for_o that_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o way_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o what_o tend_v most_o to_o our_o hatred_n of_o it_o must_v conduce_v most_o to_o our_o happiness_n and_o therefore_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n it_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v very_o much_o both_o in_o his_o mind_n and_o in_o his_o body_n in_o his_o mind_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v trouble_v in_o spirit_n 38._o that_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v sorrowful_a and_o very_a heavy_a and_o soon_o after_o my_o soul_n be_v exceed_o sorrowful_a even_o unto_o death_n s._n luke_n say_v 34._o that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o agony_n wherein_o he_o not_o only_o pray_v more_o earnest_o but_o his_o sweat_n be_v as_o it_o be_v great_a drop_n of_o blood_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n 22.44_o what_o make_v this_o amazement_n and_o dreadful_a agony_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o most_o innocent_a person_n in_o the_o world_n be_v it_o mere_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o death_n which_o he_o be_v to_o undergo_v that_o be_v impossible_a consider_v the_o assurance_n which_o he_o have_v of_o so_o glorious_a a_o reward_n so_o soon_o follow_v after_o when_o so_o many_o martyr_n endure_v such_o exquisite_a torment_n for_o his_o sake_n without_o any_o such_o disturbance_n or_o consternation_n but_o the_o apostle_n give_v we_o another_o account_n of_o it_o s._n peter_n 2.24_o say_v he_o be_v to_o bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n that_o christ_n suffer_v for_o sin_n the_o just_a for_o the_o unjust_a 3.18_o s._n paul_n 5.21_o that_o god_n make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o hereby_o we_o understand_v how_o so_o innocent_a a_o person_n come_v to_o suffer_v he_o stand_v in_o our_o stead_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v treat_v as_o a_o sinner_n and_o to_o suffer_v that_o on_o our_o account_n which_o he_o can_v not_o deserve_v on_o his_o own_o if_o he_o suffer_v on_o his_o own_o account_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o fill_v our_o mind_n with_o perplexity_n concern_v the_o justice_n of_o providence_n with_o respect_n to_o his_o deal_n with_o the_o most_o innocent_a and_o holy_a person_n in_o this_o world_n if_o he_o suffer_v on_o our_o account_n than_o we_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o therein_o we_o see_v how_o displease_v to_o god_n sin_n be_v when_o even_o his_o own_o son_n suffer_v so_o much_o by_o take_v the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o what_o can_v tend_v more_o to_o the_o beget_n in_o we_o a_o due_a hatred_n of_o sin_n than_o to_o consider_v what_o christ_n himself_o suffer_v on_o the_o account_n of_o it_o what_o can_v make_v we_o have_v more_o dreadful_a thought_n of_o it_o than_o that_o the_o great_a and_o merciful_a god_n when_o he_o design_v to_o save_o sinner_n yet_o will_v have_v his_o own_o son_n to_o become_v a_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n and_o unless_o we_o allow_v this_o we_o must_v put_v force_n upon_o the_o plain_a expression_n of_o
