in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o to_o leave_v the_o matter_n in_o doubt_n we_o must_v own_v that_o even_o this_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a imprudence_n in_o st._n paul_n to_o advance_v so_o far_o as_o this_o forasmuch_o as_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o will_v have_v ruin_v the_o work_n of_o his_o ministry_n this_o be_v a_o convince_a argument_n to_o any_o one_o never_o so_o little_o acquaint_v with_o the_o great_a prudence_n of_o st._n paul_n how_o well_o he_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o divinity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n consider_v we_o in_o the_o second_o place_n christ_n humble_v and_o empty_v of_o himself_o but_o make_v himself_o of_o no_o reputation_n as_o our_o english_a translation_n render_v what_o in_o the_o original_a be_v he_o empty_v himself_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o it_o have_v appear_v strange_a to_o some_o that_o i_o have_v so_o long_o insist_v on_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o saviour_n on_o a_o day_n solemnize_v in_o memory_n of_o his_o humiliation_n but_o they_o will_v be_v satisfy_v by_o consider_v the_o mystery_n they_o have_v hear_v explain_v it_o be_v the_o mystery_n by_o way_n of_o eminence_n it_o be_v the_o mystery_n that_o set_v off_o all_o all_o other_o mystery_n it_o be_v the_o mystery_n without_o which_o the_o christian_a religion_n will_v contain_v no_o mystery_n at_o all_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o independent_o from_o the_o divinity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v find_v our_o religion_n to_o contain_v nothing_o that_o be_v great_a or_o sublime_a the_o whole_a of_o it_o will_v only_o amount_v to_o this_o that_o a_o teacher_n come_v to_o instruct_v man_n by_o exact_a morality_n and_o by_o a_o perfect_a example_n with_o regard_n to_o those_o virtue_n we_o ought_v to_o practice_v in_o our_o life_n but_o against_o who_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n to_o be_v object_v with_o respect_n to_o those_o virtue_n that_o be_v of_o use_n at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n what_o a_o mean_a idea_n will_v they_o fain_o give_v we_o of_o christ_n and_o his_o religion_n st._n paul_n in_o this_o case_n will_v have_v be_v quite_o beside_o the_o matter_n in_o say_v without_o controversy_n great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n we_o know_v that_o our_o apostle_n utter_v himself_o thus_o by_o way_n of_o opposition_n to_o other_o mystery_n particular_o to_o the_o mystery_n of_o paganism_n and_o by_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o great_a diana_n goddess_n of_o the_o ephesian_n where_o timothy_n make_v his_o abode_n in_o this_o city_n the_o ordinary_a cry_n be_v great_a great_a be_v diana_n of_o the_o ephesian_n in_o opposition_n to_o which_o the_o cry_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v great_a great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n yea_o without_o controversy_n great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n what_o reason_n be_v there_o for_o all_o this_o a_o do_v for_o all_o these_o positive_a assertion_n if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a man_n but_o i_o very_o well_o apprehend_v st._n paul_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o christianity_n present_v we_o a_o god_n manifest_v in_o flesh_n for_o without_o all_o controversy_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n the_o great_a that_o ever_o be_v hear_v of_o by_o man_n this_o be_v that_o which_o ennoble_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o it_o be_v from_o this_o spring_n she_o derive_v all_o her_o glory_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o our_o holy_a religion_n which_o do_v not_o become_v precious_a and_o admirable_a by_o the_o general_a influence_n of_o this_o great_a mystery_n can_v any_o one_o therefore_o just_o accuse_v we_o for_o have_v too_o long_o insist_v on_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o lord_n see_v it_o be_v also_o the_o entire_a glory_n of_o our_o religion_n but_o that_o which_o altogether_o justify_v our_o method_n herein_o be_v that_o this_o day_n be_v proper_o consecrate_a to_o the_o thankfulness_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n for_o his_o infinite_a love_n in_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n and_o in_o deliver_v he_o up_o to_o death_n after_o have_v clothe_v he_o with_o our_o nature_n to_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o price_n and_o value_n of_o this_o present_a the_o great_a it_o be_v the_o great_a must_v be_v our_o thankfulness_n if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n i_o dare_v bold_o say_v that_o his_o send_n of_o he_o be_v not_o the_o great_a favour_n god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o this_o suppose_a we_o see_v little_a reason_n why_o the_o gospel_n shall_v insist_v so_o strong_o and_o emphatical_o upon_o this_o divine_a charity_n why_o do_v it_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o riches_n of_o grace_n of_o the_o exceed_a excellent_a riches_n of_o grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n why_o do_v it_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n as_o to_o send_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o god_n recommend_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o in_o that_o when_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o sure_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a man_n yea_o if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o angel_n the_o point_n will_v never_o bear_v these_o expression_n put_v but_o the_o name_n of_o man_n where_o christ_n be_v speak_v of_o and_o you_o will_v be_v fain_o to_o own_o that_o these_o passage_n have_v no_o sense_n at_o all_o god_n have_v so_o love_v man_n that_o he_o send_v a_o man_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o perish_v what_o be_v it_o such_o a_o unparalleled_a instance_n of_o charity_n for_o god_n to_o send_v one_o man_n to_o save_v so_o many_o million_o of_o man_n this_o will_v have_v be_v no_o more_o than_o if_o he_o have_v give_v a_o straw_n for_o to_o save_v they_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o such_o transcendent_a love_n in_o all_o this_o god_n have_v to_o that_o degree_n recommend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o that_o he_o have_v send_v a_o man_n to_o die_v for_o we_o where_o be_v the_o wonder_n in_o all_o this_o where_o shall_v we_o look_v for_o this_o high_a recommendation_n of_o the_o divine_a love_n if_o instead_o of_o a_o man_n it_o be_v a_o angel_n or_o some_o other_o creature_n far_o more_o glorious_a yet_o will_v it_o not_o have_v bulk_n enough_o to_o fill_v up_o all_o these_o passage_n it_o be_v no_o such_o great_a matter_n to_o form_v a_o creature_n on_o purpose_n to_o show_v so_o many_o million_o of_o man_n the_o way_n to_o life_n and_o yet_o the_o scripture_n prompt_v we_o to_o conceive_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o thing_n that_o merit_v the_o admiration_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n except_o therefore_o we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o our_o redeemer_n be_v god_n we_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n how_o to_o make_v any_o sense_n at_o all_o of_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n but_o no_o soon_o have_v we_o admit_v this_o mystery_n but_o we_o find_v that_o nothing_o indeed_o can_v be_v conceive_v so_o great_a as_o be_v this_o love_n of_o god_n we_o find_v that_o the_o send_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o grace_n by_o way_n of_o excellence_n we_o perceive_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v not_o say_v too_o much_o of_o it_o and_o we_o confess_v in_o a_o word_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o make_v any_o answerable_a return_n for_o this_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n by_o any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o a_o infinite_a acknowledgement_n be_v we_o capable_a of_o it_o we_o have_v therefore_o speak_v thing_n suitable_a to_o the_o day_n by_o confirm_v you_o in_o your_o persuasion_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o have_v powerful_o excite_v your_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n yea_o we_o may_v say_v that_o we_o have_v handle_v the_o second_o point_n in_o treat_v of_o the_o first_o so_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o in_o a_o manner_n for_o we_o to_o say_v upon_o these_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n yet_o he_o humble_v or_o empty_v himself_o we_o have_v propose_v to_o ourselves_o to_o make_v you_o sensible_a of_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o saviour_n love_n in_o empty_v himself_o for_o we_o to_o compass_v this_o our_o intent_n we_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o measure_v both_o end_n of_o this_o mystery_n we_o have_v draw_v our_o line_n from_o that_o end_n which_o be_v far_a from_o we_o the_o least_o sensible_a and_o most_o unknown_a i_o mean_v we_o have_v
