of_o christ_n john_n sedgwicke_n a_o wedding_n sermon_n luke_n 1._o 6._o and_o they_o be_v both_o just_a and_o walk_v in_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n without_o reproof_n as_o john_n himself_o be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o person_n and_o office_n so_o the_o evangelist_n s_o luke_n begin_v his_o holy_a story_n make_v the_o conception_n of_o john_n forerun_v the_o story_n of_o the_o conception_n of_o christ_n between_o which_o two_o be_v not_o a_o obscure_a correspondence_n for_o first_o both_o of_o they_o be_v predict_v and_o promise_v by_o a_o angel_n who_o describe_v both_o their_o person_n both_o their_o office_n and_o give_v they_o both_o their_o name_n second_o both_o their_o conception_n be_v miraculous_a by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n transcend_v all_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n three_o both_o of_o they_o bear_v of_o unlikely_a person_n the_o one_o of_o a_o virgin_n against_o nature_n the_o other_o of_o a_o old_a barren_a woman_n beyond_o nature_n four_o both_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v after_o a_o new_a and_o unusual_a nativity_n first_o that_o the_o strange_a conception_n of_o the_o one_o may_v be_v somewhat_o more_o credible_a by_o the_o other_o and_o second_o that_o both_o of_o they_o may_v by_o all_o man_n be_v conceive_v to_o become_v most_o eminent_a person_n of_o extraordinary_a spirit_n and_o service_n in_o the_o world_n who_o after_o so_o extraordinary_a manner_n come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o so_o when_o john_n be_v bear_v the_o neighbour_n ask_v what_o manner_n of_o child_n shall_v this_o be_v verse_n 66._o now_o our_o evangelist_n stay_v a_o great_a while_n in_o the_o confirmation_n of_o johns_n extraordinary_a conception_n and_o honourable_a birth_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o his_o call_n be_v to_o be_v extraordinary_a he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o man_n send_v from_o god_n joh._n 1._o 6._o not_o call_v by_o man_n but_o by_o god_n immediate_o second_o his_o office_n be_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o all_o man_n through_o he_o may_v believe_v v_o 7._o and_o because_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o testimony_n depend_v upon_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o witness_n to_o add_v more_o authority_n to_o johns_n testimony_n he_o show_v the_o person_n to_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a man_n in_o holiness_n and_o honour_n and_o therefore_o most_o faithful_a and_o worthy_a of_o all_o credit_n and_o high_a respect_n three_o john_n be_v to_o be_v the_o first_o witness_n and_o public_a preacher_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n yea_o to_o be_v the_o forerunner_n and_o immediate_a servant_n of_o christ._n hence_o be_v he_o call_v john_n by_o the_o angel_n which_o word_n signify_v favour_n or_o grace_n first_o because_o he_o be_v bestow_v by_o god_n special_a grace_n on_o his_o parent_n when_o they_o be_v old_a and_o by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n can_v not_o expect_v he_o second_o because_o he_o be_v to_o be_v the_o first_o preacher_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n next_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o insist_v in_o the_o large_a and_o honourable_a mention_n of_o so_o near_o a_o servant_n to_o christ_n see_v the_o more_o honourable_a the_o servant_n be_v the_o more_o be_v the_o glory_n and_o eminency_n of_o the_o master_n four_o because_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o lean_v upon_o this_o testimony_n of_o john_n therefore_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n more_o industrious_a to_o make_v his_o witness_n certain_a and_o leave_v it_o most_o infallible_a now_o among_o other_o argument_n of_o johns_n commendation_n he_o be_v in_o the_o word_n read_v commend_v by_o the_o worthiness_n of_o his_o parentage_n for_o first_o both_o his_o parent_n be_v name_v his_o father_n be_v zacharie_n that_o be_v one_o mindful_a of_o god_n his_o mother_n name_n be_v elizabeth_n which_o signify_v god_n be_v my_o rest_n and_o it_o appear_v they_o be_v not_o unanswerable_a to_o their_o name_n second_o both_o of_o they_o be_v of_o a_o holy_a stock_n and_o progeny_n he_o be_v of_o the_o order_n and_o stock_n of_o aaron_n and_o she_o be_v of_o the_o daughter_n of_o aaron_n and_o so_o both_o of_o they_o be_v well_o descend_v three_o both_o of_o they_o be_v as_o holy_a in_o their_o own_o person_n as_o in_o their_o parentage_n for_o both_o of_o they_o be_v just_a before_o god_n and_o walk_v in_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n without_o reproof_n both_o of_o they_o be_v just_o first_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v without_o infirmity_n neither_o of_o they_o without_o sin_n second_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v legal_o just_a which_o require_v whole_a conformity_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n to_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o that_o in_o the_o utmost_a perfection_n three_o neither_o of_o both_o be_v just_a or_o justify_v by_o work_n and_o much_o less_o by_o merit_v or_o desert_n for_o why_o then_o be_v zacharie_n present_o strike_v dumb_a for_o his_o unbelief_n verse_n 20._o or_o if_o that_o which_o the_o rhemist_n on_o this_o place_n be_v true_a what_o do_v zacharie_n here_o in_o the_o temple_n offer_v sacrifice_n first_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o the_o people_n if_o he_o do_v so_o perfect_o fulfil_v the_o law_n as_o they_o say_v how_o then_o be_v they_o both_o just_a a._n both_o be_v just_o euangelical_o first_o by_o imputation_n to_o both_o of_o they_o be_v christ_n justice_n impute_v so_o as_o though_o both_o of_o they_o labour_v under_o their_o personal_a infirmity_n yet_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n do_v not_o impute_v their_o sin_n unto_o they_o second_o by_o acceptation_n god_n do_v approve_v they_o both_o for_o just_a and_o righteous_a person_n behold_v they_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o his_o love_n which_o accept_v of_o impure_a and_o unworthy_a action_n of_o his_o child_n as_o righteous_a and_o just_a and_o afford_v a_o large_a cover_n for_o their_o daily_a defect_n and_o frailty_n three_o by_o inchoation_n in_o that_o both_o of_o they_o be_v renew_v by_o god_n spirit_n endeavour_v to_o keep_v all_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v hearty_o grieve_v when_o they_o fail_v in_o their_o true_a endeavour_n four_o by_o the_o lord_n justification_n both_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n from_o hypocrisy_n and_o reign_a guile_n what_o they_o do_v they_o do_v before_o god_n in_o truth_n and_o unfeigned_o as_o in_o his_o sight_n and_o by_o their_o fruit_n of_o faith_n both_o of_o they_o be_v justify_v before_o man_n who_o by_o their_o external_a righteousness_n see_v that_o their_o faith_n be_v sound_a and_o themselves_o true_a believer_n the_o pharisee_n
