a_o fervent_a prayer_n for_o we_o so_o 53.10_o esay_n 53.10_o when_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o bruise_v he_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o offer_v up_o his_o blood_n in_o a_o sweat_a fervour_n

heb_fw-mi 9.22_o and_o as_o the_o angel_n who_o name_n be_v secret_a kindle_v the_o fire_n upon_o the_o altar_n and_o at_o length_n the_o flame_n increase_v himself_o also_o ascend_v in_o the_o same_o so_o here_o in_o this_o agony_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o his_o love_n and_o then_o as_o a_o faithful_a high_a priest_n he_o offer_v up_o himself_o as_o a_o sweet_a smell_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n and_o see_v blood_n must_v make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o soul_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n therefore_o this_o our_o priest_n shed_v his_o own_o blood_n to_o procure_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o blood_n of_o his_o head_n when_o he_o be_v crown_v with_o thorn_n the_o blood_n of_o his_o heart_n when_o he_o be_v pierce_v with_o a_o spear_n the_o blood_n of_o all_o part_n when_o he_o be_v whip_v and_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o whole_a body_n when_o he_o sweat_v the_o drop_n

high_a priest_n be_v to_o take_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o heifer_n with_o his_o finger_n and_o sprinkle_v of_o her_o blood_n direct_o before_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o congregation_n seven_o

3._o when_o he_o be_v crown_v with_o thorn_n 4._o when_o he_o be_v whip_v 5._o sin_n that_o christ_n shed_v his_o blood_n seven_o time_n to_o cleanse_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n when_o his_o hand_n be_v

the_o curse_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v medicina_fw-la terra_fw-la the_o medicine_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n faith_n 12.24_o heb._n 12.24_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n for_o by_o the_o shed_n of_o abel_n blood_n god_n wrath_n be_v kindle_v but_o by_o the_o shed_n of_o christ_n blood_n god_n wrath_n be_v appease_v the_o blood_n of_o abel_n give_v life_n only_o to_o himself_o but_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n give_v life_n to_o all_o beleiver_n the_o blood_n of_o abel_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o his_o brother_n but_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cry_v for_o mercy_n unto_o his_o enemy_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n cry_v a_o while_n and_o then_o cease_v and_o then_o it_o be_v no_o more_o available_a but_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n still_o cry_v and_o never_o cease_v and_o be_v available_a for_o we_o for_o ever_o and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o saint_n luke_n prove_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o priest_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v and_o therefore_o he_o be_v here_o understand_v by_o the_o calf_n that_o be_v the_o chief_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o priest_n 3._o by_o he_o that_o have_v the_o face_n of_o a_o man_n 10.33_o 3._o st._n mark_n be_v understand_v by_o he_o that_o have_v the_o face_n of_o a_o man_n mark_n 6.3_o john_n 10.33_o the_o father_n do_v understand_v saint_n mark_n because_o his_o principal_a aim_n be_v to_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o true_a and_o perfect_a man_n the_o son_n of_o a_o poor_a carpenter_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n like_v unto_o we_o sin_n only_o except_v and_o this_o truth_n be_v so_o manifest_a that_o his_o very_a enemy_n confess_v it_o and_o will_v have_v stone_v he_o because_o that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n make_v himself_o a_o god_n for_o their_o eye_n see_v that_o he_o have_v flesh_n and_o blood_n like_o other_o man_n and_o that_o he_o do_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o be_v weary_a and_o touch_v with_o all_o the_o blameless_a passion_n and_o affection_n of_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o saint_n mark_n be_v very_o short_a in_o his_o gospel_n not_o above_o sixteen_o chapter_n in_o all_o because_o he_o need_v not_o to_o use_v many_o argument_n when_o as_o all_o that_o see_v he_o do_v ready_o confess_v it_o 4._o eagle_n 4._o saint_n john_n understand_v by_o the_o fly_a eagle_n by_o the_o fly_a eagle_n all_o the_o old_a interpreter_n do_v understand_v saint_n john_n because_o that_o when_o ebion_n and_o cerinthus_n two_o jewish_a proselyte_n deny_v the_o deity_n of_o christ_n he_o purposely_o write_v his_o gospel_n for_o that_o main_a end_n to_o confute_v that_o damnable_a error_n as_o eusebius_n and_o other_o testify_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o very_a frontispiece_n of_o his_o work_n he_o mount_v up_o like_o a_o eagle_n and_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n 1.1_o john_n 1.1_o and_o the_o word_n be_v with_o god_n and_o the_o word_n be_v god_n and_o so_o throughout_o his_o whole_a gospel_n you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v his_o chief_a aim_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o son_n of_o mary_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n coeternal_a and_o coequal_a with_o his_o father_n and_o especial_o because_o he_o prove_v he_o 1._o to_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n c._n 1._o 2._o to_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o knower_n and_o searcher_n of_o the_o secret_n of_o our_o heart_n c._n 2.25_o 3._o to_o be_v the_o worker_n of_o such_o miracle_n as_o the_o raise_n up_o of_o l●zarus_n and_o the_o like_a which_o none_o can_v do_v but_o god_n and_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n shall_v be_v god_n and_o man_n man_n because_o man_n have_v sin_v and_o therefore_o meet_v that_o man_n shall_v make_v satisfaction_n and_o not_o ziba_n make_v the_o fault_n and_o mephibosheth_n bear_v the_o punishment_n which_o shall_v be_v very_o unjust_a and_o god_n because_o our_o nature_n shall_v but_o can_v not_o bear_v the_o burden_n which_o be_v the_o weight_n of_o god_n wrath_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o god_n as_o god_n can_v but_o ought_v not_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o one_o ought_v but_o can_v not_o and_o the_o other_o can_v but_o ought_v not_o god_n and_o man_n must_v be_v join_v together_o in_o one_o person_n that_o man_n may_v do_v what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o suffer_v what_o he_o ought_v to_o suffer_v and_o so_o go_v through_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o therefore_o as_o saint_n mark_n have_v prove_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o man_n so_o saint_n john_n prove_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o eternal_a god_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o by_o these_o four_o beast_n we_o be_v primary_o to_o understand_v the_o four_o evangelist_n 1.7_o second_o all_o the_o good_a magistrate_n and_o minister_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v like_o these_o four_o beast_n 1._o like_o the_o lion_n jos_n 1.7_o second_o as_o the_o four_o evangelist_n be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o be_v understand_v by_o these_o four_o beast_n for_o the_o reason_n before_o show_v so_o likewise_o all_o magistrate_n and_o all_o minister_n ought_v to_o be_v like_o these_o four_o beast_n as_o 1._o like_o the_o lion_n for_o courage_n without_o fear_n confidens_fw-la ut_fw-la lo_o absque_fw-la terror_fw-la for_o so_o the_o lord_n command_v joshua_n to_o be_v strong_a and_o of_o a_o good_a courage_n say_v only_o be_v thou_o strong_a and_o of_o a_o most_o valiant_a courage_n and_o so_o jethro_n tell_v moses_n that_o his_o judge_n shall_v be_v man_n of_o courage_n and_o undaunted_a quia_fw-la timiditas_fw-la judicis_fw-la est_fw-la calamitas_fw-la innocentis_fw-la so_o when_o the_o

do_v fear_n cause_v many_o other_o to_o wrong_v the_o innocent_n and_o therefore_o to_o you_o that_o be_v the_o judge_n to_o settle_v the_o disturb_a estate_n of_o this_o kingdom_n i_o say_v that_o
