divine_a revelation_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o both_o testament_n make_v but_o one_o entire_a system_fw-la of_o the_o true_a christian_a doctrine_n the_o old_a testament_n be_v preparatory_a to_o the_o new_a and_o the_o new_a testament_n explicative_a of_o the_o old_a and_o take_v in_o either_o in_o express_a term_n or_o by_o necessary_a admission_n all_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n deliver_v in_o the_o old_a and_o be_v recommend_v by_o christ_n himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o follower_n together_o with_o those_o other_o additional_a discovery_n and_o precept_n that_o he_o make_v and_o give_v but_o yet_o thus_o much_o must_v needs_o be_v add_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n as_o it_o be_v single_o reveal_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n give_v a_o much_o great_a light_n make_v more_o full_a discovery_n and_o contain_v more_o effectual_a instance_n to_o bring_v about_o the_o soul_n to_o almighty_a god_n than_o that_o old_a testament_n alone_o do_v or_o can_v do_v and_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o some_o of_o those_o most_o eminent_a particular_n and_o instance_n for_o this_o purpose_n 1._o whereas_o the_o notion_n of_o god_n be_v great_o corrupt_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n as_o be_v show_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n the_o christian_a doctrine_n rectify_v those_o notion_n and_o give_v we_o a_o true_a discovery_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n so_o far_o as_o our_o finite_a understanding_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o act_n 17.23_o who_o you_o ignorant_o worship_n he_o declare_v i_o unto_o you_o here_o we_o have_v the_o great_a discovery_n of_o the_o perfection_n excellency_n and_o beauty_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o therefore_o a_o object_n infinite_o deserve_v the_o great_a excess_n of_o our_o love_n and_o of_o our_o dependence_n and_o reverence_n his_o eternity_n unity_n purity_n holiness_n goodness_n wisdom_n power_n justice_n mercy_n placability_n long-suffering_a gentleness_n faithfulness_n truth_n in_o a_o word_n that_o he_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o all_o excellency_n the_o chief_a good_a and_o the_o most_o sovereign_a object_n of_o all_o our_o love_n even_o upon_o the_o single_a account_n of_o his_o own_o transcendent_a perfection_n and_o excellence_n but_o i_o come_v to_o thing_n more_o specifical_o applicable_a to_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n by_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o 2._o i_o have_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n mention_v the_o suspicion_n and_o inclination_n of_o mankind_n to_o think_v the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a state_n thereof_o for_o reward_n and_o punishment_n but_o this_o supposition_n be_v much_o cloud_v with_o uncertain_a conjecture_n and_o imagination_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n have_v give_v we_o a_o full_a discovery_n and_o assurance_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o full_a prospect_n of_o the_o future_a state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n and_o therefore_o be_v true_o say_v to_o have_v bring_v immortality_n and_o life_n to_o light_n by_o the_o gospel_n 3._o whereas_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n i_o have_v show_v that_o although_o the_o external_n blessing_n distribute_v among_o the_o child_n of_o man_n be_v great_o valuable_a and_o more_o than_o any_o creature_n can_v either_o deserve_v or_o by_o his_o own_o power_n procure_v and_o therefore_o almighty_a god_n in_o respect_n of_o these_o high_o deserve_v our_o love_n as_o our_o great_a benefactor_n yet_o that_o many_o wise_a and_o considerate_a man_n consider_v the_o promiscuous_a dispensation_n of_o external_n blessing_n and_o the_o great_a excellency_n of_o the_o humane_a soul_n do_v reach_v after_o blessing_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n and_o use_v than_o such_o as_o only_o serve_v the_o meridian_n of_o this_o life_n here_o we_o have_v a_o discovery_n of_o the_o immense_a beneficence_n and_o love_n of_o the_o glorious_a god_n unto_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o the_o high_a attractive_a of_o the_o soul_n namely_o immortal_a happiness_n glory_n and_o blessedness_n free_o and_o bountiful_o offer_v by_o almighty_a god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n to_o all_o that_o will_v be_v but_o convert_v and_o turn_v unto_o he_o and_o this_o do_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o own_o beneficence_n and_o communicative_a goodness_n unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n that_o be_v enemy_n and_o estrange_v from_o god_n by_o evil_a work_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n certain_o if_o love_n undeserved_a love_n be_v the_o great_a attractive_a of_o love_n if_o the_o free_a collation_n of_o the_o great_a benefit_n that_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v capable_a of_o namely_o immortal_a glory_n life_n and_o blessedness_n be_v the_o great_a allective_a of_o love_n and_o gratitude_n to_o our_o benefactor_n than_o here_o be_v such_o a_o attractive_a of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n as_o its_o chief_a benefactor_n that_o can_v be_v elsewhere_o match_v or_o equal_v but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o therefore_o 3._o there_o be_v yet_o far_o such_o a_o instance_n of_o love_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o procure_v this_o benefit_n that_o seem_v to_o equal_v the_o very_a benefit_n itself_o namely_o god_n almighty_n send_v his_o son_n his_o only_a son_n into_o the_o world_n so_o far_o to_o humble_v himself_o as_o to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o with_o

this_o do_v to_o expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n to_o become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o very_a enemy_n and_o purchase_v and_o impetrate_v for_o they_o this_o great_a benefit_n
