in_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o consider_v what_o we_o be_v and_o 2._o consider_v what_o christ_n do_v i._o christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o garment_n consider_v what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o best_a of_o we_o be_v but_o as_o st._n john_n say_v rev._n 3.17_o empty_a naked_a miserable_a sinner_n the_o best_a garment_n we_o have_v by_o nature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o rag_n yea_o

we_o thereupon_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o phil._n 3.8_o 9_o desire_n so_o earnest_o that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v in_o christ_n not_o have_v on_o his_o own_o righteousness_n which_o he_o account_v

cast_v over_o we_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o love_n as_o in_o ezek._n 16.8_o and_o to_o illustrate_v this_o a_o little_a i_o shall_v here_o take_v occasion_n to_o show_v you_o wherein_o christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o garment_n by_o give_v you_o the_o resemblance_n that_o be_v between_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o natural_a garment_n and_o what_o our_o garment_n be_v to_o our_o body_n the_o same_o and_o much_o more_o be_v christ_n to_o our_o soul_n now_o the_o natural_a use_n of_o our_o natural_a garment_n be_v chief_o these_o three_o 1._o our_o natural_a garment_n be_v for_o necessity_n 2._o for_o distinction_n 3._o for_o ornament_n first_o for_o necessity_n our_o natural_a garment_n be_v necessary_a yea_o they_o be_v of_o necessity_n we_o can_v be_v well_o without_o they_o they_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o to_o cover_v and_o shelter_v we_o to_o cherish_v and_o preserve_v our_o weak_a frail_a naked_a body_n from_o all_o the_o danger_n and_o encumbrance_n which_o will_v irresistable_o fall_v upon_o we_o without_o the_o use_n of_o they_o our_o garment_n be_v useful_a to_o cover_v and_o preserve_v we_o from_o the_o cold_a bluster_a storm_n of_o the_o world_n how_o unable_a will_v our_o frail_a weak_a mortal_a body_n be_v to_o subsist_v and_o live_v without_o the_o natural_a use_n of_o our_o natural_a garment_n to_o cherish_v and_o preserve_v we_o and_o this_o and_o more_o than_o this_o do_v christ_n to_o our_o soul_n as_o our_o body_n be_v not_o able_a to_o subsist_v without_o clothes_n no_o more_o be_v our_o soul_n able_a to_o subsist_v without_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o life_n and_o garment_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o our_o natural_a garment_n serve_v to_o defend_v we_o from_o the_o cold_a bluster_a storm_n of_o the_o weather_n so_o christ_n the_o garment_n of_o our_o soul_n preserve_v and_o shelter_n we_o from_o all_o those_o rage_a assault_n of_o satan_n which_o in_o the_o world_n we_o be_v often_o yea_o always_o liable_a unto_o second_o as_o our_o natural_a garment_n serve_v to_o defend_v we_o from_o the_o cold_a storm_n of_o wind_n and_o weather_n so_o likewise_o they_o serve_v to_o defend_v we_o from_o the_o
