the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o they_o typical_a of_o the_o various_a effect_n and_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n we_o learn_v every_o where_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o 8._o i_o believe_v be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n not_o mere_o slay_v in_o god_n decree_n for_o what_o

the_o world_n ever_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n in_o those_o early_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v offer_v after_o the_o fall_n which_o be_v typical_a of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n for_o god_n have_v then_o promise_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o must_v profess_v i_o know_v no_o principle_n of_o natural_a reason_n that_o teach_v we_o to_o offer_v the_o blood_n of_o beast_n in_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v think_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n to_o be_v a_o institution_n now_o that_o a_o human_a priesthood_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n in_o themselves_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n sufficient_o prove_v and_o i_o will_v desire_v some_o of_o our_o learned_a ch_z reason_v socinian_n as_o they_o think_v themselves_o honest_o to_o tell_v i_o what_o account_n they_o can_v give_v of_o this_o jewish_a priesthood_n and_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v become_v god_n why_o shall_v god_n be_v propitiate_v by_o a_o man_n subject_n to_o the_o same_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n and_o very_o often_o guilty_a of_o they_o that_o other_o man_n be_v why_o innocent_a beast_n must_v die_v to_o expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n when_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a 4._o that_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n shall_v take_v away_o sin_n and_o yet_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o in_o it_o than_o god_n mere_a appointment_n and_o institution_n i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o the_o jewish_a priesthood_n and_o sacrifice_n may_v have_v be_v as_o effectual_a as_o any_o other_o i_o think_v they_o be_v so_o far_o in_o the_o right_n and_o consistent_a with_o their_o own_o principle_n that_o as_o they_o own_o christ_n to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n so_o they_o make_v he_o only_o a_o metaphorical_a priest_n and_o his_o death_n a_o metaphorical_a sacrifice_n for_o a_o mere_a man_n can_v be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o metaphorical_a or_o typical_a priest_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o then_o the_o difficulty_n be_v how_o christ_n be_v the_o antitype_n to_o the_o typical_a priest_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n if_o he_o be_v but_o a_o metaphorical_a priest_n and_o sacrifice_n himself_o for_o the_o antitype_n ought_v to_o be_v that_o in_o truth_n and_o reality_n which_o the_o type_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o and_o though_o they_o be_v typical_a yet_o they_o be_v true_a and_o proper_a priest_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o make_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a expiation_n for_o sin_n as_o far_o as_o they_o reach_v and_o therefore_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v typify_v not_o a_o metaphorical_a but_o a_o true_a priest_n and_o sacrifice_n though_o of_o a_o more_o excellent_a and_o perfect_a nature_n this_o be_v easy_o account_v for_o if_o we_o allow_v the_o divine_a word_n to_o be_v incarnate_a and_o to_o be_v our_o priest_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o without_o this_o the_o jewish_a oeconomy_n be_v a_o most_o absurd_a and_o unaccountable_a institution_n three_o socinianism_n ridicules_fw-la the_o christian_a religion_n that_o be_v make_v it_o a_o very_a mean_a and_o contemptible_a institution_n which_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o a_o few_o word_n the_o fundamental_a mystery_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v the_o stupendous_a love_n of_o god_n in_o give_v his_o own_o son_n his_o only_o beget_v son_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n this_o our_o saviour_n lay_v great_a stress_n on_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n 16._o that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n by_o this_o one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o christ_n have_v be_v the_o son_n the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n before_o he_o

even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross._n now_o suppose_v christ_n to_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a man_n who_o have_v no_o be_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n who_o know_v nothing_o of_o

where_o be_v the_o great_a humility_n of_o this_o how_o do_v he_o become_v poor_a for_o our_o sake_n who_o be_v never_o rich_a yes_o say_v our_o historian_n he_o can_v have_v live_v in_o the_o great_a splendour_n dignity_n and_o plenty_n 124._o he_o that_o can_v multiply_v the_o loaf_n and_o fish_n and_o the_o wine_n at_o the_o wedding_n of_o cana_n need_v not_o have_v want_v any_o comfort_n of_o

therefore_o if_o by_o god_n decree_n he_o be_v to_o live_v a_o mean_a life_n here_o and_o die_v a_o accurse_a death_n and_o he_o be_v make_v for_o this_o purpose_n he_o neither_o ever_o be_v rich_a nor_o ever_o can_v be_v rich_a and_o therefore_o do_v not_o make_v himself_o poor_a for_o our_o sake_n he_o can_v not_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o god_n have_v do_v otherwise_o than_o he_o do_v if_o he_o will_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o be_v not_o rich_a before_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o voluntary_o choose_v his_o poverty_n for_o we_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o great_a grace_n of_o his_o become_a poor_a for_o he_o never_o be_v rich_a nor_o ever_o can_v be_v in_o this_o world_n thus_o what_o be_v that_o humility_n our_o apostle_n so_o high_o commend_v in_o our_o saviour_n for_o suppose_v his_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n signify_v no_o more_o than_o be_v make_v like_o

therefore_o st._n austin_n represent_v this_o much_o better_a by_o that_o self-consciousness_n which_o be_v between_o those_o distinct_a faculty_n in_o we_o of_o memory_n understanding_n and_o will_n which_o know_v and_o feel_v whatever_o be_v in_o each_o other_o we_o remember_v what_o we_o understand_v and_o will_v we_o understand_v what_o we_o remember_v and_o will_v and_o what_o we_o will_v we_o remember_v and_o understand_v 16._o and_o therefore_o these_o three_o faculty_n which_o be_v thus_o intimate_v to_o each_o other_o make_v one_o man_n and_o if_o we_o can_v suppose_v three_o infinite_a mind_n and_o person_n thus_o conscious_a of_o whatever_o be_v in_o each_o other_o as_o they_o be_v of_o themselves_o they_o can_v be_v but_o one_o numerical_a god_n but_o that_o this_o may_v not_o be_v think_v a_o mere_a arbitrary_a and_o groundless_a conjecture_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a scripture_n notion_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n

the_o father_n be_v not_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n either_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n be_v so_o very_o plain_a in_o scripture_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o spend_v time_n to_o prove_v

infinite_a mind_n 1._o let_v we_o then_o consider_v what_o the_o unity_n be_v between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n for_o so_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o i_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one_o 10_o
