w_v never_o do_v in_o any_o before_o nor_o never_o shall_v be_v in_o any_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v what_o be_v say_v there_o in_o joel_n 1._o 2_o 3._o of_o a_o great_a judgement_n which_o the_o

and_o what_o god_n speak_v to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n about_o their_o freedom_n out_o of_o egypt_n i_o may_v well_o apply_v to_o this_o freedom_n deut._n 4._o 32._o for_o ask_v now_o of_o the_o

of_o this_o freedom_n particular_o see_v it_o in_o that_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o story_n of_o it_o know_v what_o a_o great_a deliverance_n that_o be_v it_o be_v seldom_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o there_o be_v a_o glance_n upon_o the_o greatness_n and_o famousness_n of_o it_o it_o be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o be_v charge_v never_o to_o forget_v it_o deut._n 8._o 14._o and_o to_o that_o end_n the_o lord_n appoint_v that_o they_o shall_v begin_v their_o reckon_n of_o the_o month_n of_o the_o year_n with_o that_o month_n in_o which_o this_o deliverance_n come_v exod_v 12._o 1_o 2._o and_o on_o the_o four_o day_n of_o that_o month_n in_o the_o evening_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o very_a day_n on_o which_o the_o lord_n bring_v they_o out_o of_o their_o bondage_n they_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o passover_n every_o year_n throughout_o their_o generation_n for_o a_o memorial_n of_o it_o ver_fw-la 6._o 14._o compare_v and_o it_o be_v such_o a_o great_a deliverance_n that_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n sing_v together_o unto_o the_o lord_n in_o solemn_a praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o it_o admire_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o in_o it_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o exod._n 15._o 1_o etc._n etc._n and_o it_o be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o put_v the_o wicked_a nation_n of_o the_o earth_n into_o a_o tremble_a to_o hear_v of_o it_o ver_fw-la 14_o 15_o 16._o and_o again_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o deliverance_n that_o the_o lord_n make_v use_v of_o it_o as_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a tie_n to_o bind_v they_o to_o himself_o in_o the_o strict_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o give_v they_o the_o ten_o commandment_n he_o set_v this_o engage_v preface_n before_o they_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n which_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n and_o then_o he_o give_v they_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o in_o they_o to_o we_o by_o who_o the_o aforesaid_a preface_n be_v now_o to_o be_v understand_v spiritual_o of_o his_o bring_v we_o out_o of_o the_o spiritual_a egypt_n and_o the_o spiritual_a bondage_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o but_o now_o belove_v though_o this_o deliverance_n be_v such_o a_o great_a and_o glorious_a work_n as_o you_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v to_o bring_v a_o matter_n of_o six_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n beside_o woman_n and_o child_n with_o all_o their_o herd_n and_o flock_n out_o of_o the_o iron_n furnace_n in_o egypt_n where_o they_o have_v be_v stranger_n and_o slave_n for_o four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n together_o and_o that_o with_o such_o a_o mighty_a hand_n and_o stretched-out_a arm_n as_o brought_z destruction_n to_o their_o enemy_n and_o redemption_n to_o his_o choose_a people_n yet_o i_o say_v this_o be_v but_o a_o type_n of_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n this_o and_o all_o else_o that_o moses_n do_v as_o god_n instrument_n among_o they_o be_v but_o to_o hold_v forth_o better_a thing_n that_o be_v afterward_o to_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n see_v heb._n 3._o 5._o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o their_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n in_o babylon_n but_o i_o will_v only_o instance_n further_o in_o one_o great_a freedom_n that_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o be_v that_o every_o 50th_o year_n which_o be_v call_v the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n of_o which_o you_o read_v levit._n 25._o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o general_a release_n and_o liberty_n be_v to_o be_v proclaim_v throughout_o all_o the_o land_n so_o that_o they_o who_o have_v sell_v or_o mortgage_v their_o land_n or_o possession_n be_v then_o every_o one_o to_o return_v to_o they_o again_o and_o every_o hebrew_n servant_n be_v then_o to_o have_v his_o freedom_n so_o that_o this_o year_n be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o famous_a year_n among_o they_o and_o it_o be_v welcome_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o joy_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v call_v by_o they_o the_o acceptable_a year_n why_o this_o also_o be_v to_o point_v out_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o allude_v to_o in_o isa_n 61._o 1_o 2._o where_o the_o same_o expression_n be_v use_v by_o christ_n in_o his_o set_n forth_o his_o redemption_n as_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o year_n of_o jubilee_n he_o say_v he_o be_v send_v to_o proclaim_v liberty_n to_o the_o captive_n and_o to_o proclaim_v the_o acceptable_a year_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o that_o other_o deliverance_n and_o other_o freedom_n be_v but_o to_o usher_v in_o this_o they_o be_v but_o the_o harbinger_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o in_o the_o read_n of_o they_o you_o must_v have_v your_o thought_n upon_o this_o not_o only_o to_o read_v they_o as_o story_n that_o do_v but_o concern_v that_o people_n but_o as_o shadow_v out_o the_o great_a gospel-redemption_n 2._o again_o it_o be_v a_o incomparable_a freedom_n thus_o in_o that_o no_o misery_n be_v like_o that_o misery_n which_o this_o freedom_n bring_v we_o from_o if_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o wretch_n indeed_o he_o be_v one_o that_o lie_v in_o that_o condition_n out_o of_o which_o christ_n be_v send_v to_o deliver_v we_o it_o be_v such_o a_o condition_n that_o if_o one_o be_v true_o sensible_a of_o it_o he_o will_v not_o be_v in_o it_o one_o day_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n i_o mean_v our_o natural_a condition_n which_o be_v such_o a_o miserable_a state_n that_o if_o god_n bear_v everlasting_a love_n to_o any_o person_n to_o be_v sure_a he_o bring_v he_o out_o of_o it_o and_o if_o he_o intend_v everlasting_a wrath_n to_o any_o than_o he_o leave_v they_o in_o it_o 3._o again_o in_o that_o no_o mercy_n be_v like_a to_o that_o mercy_n which_o this_o freedom_n bring_v we_o to_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v misery_n enough_o and_o enough_o that_o continue_v in_o the_o bondage_n so_o they_o shall_v have_v mercy_n enough_o and_o enough_o that_o partake_v of_o this_o freedom_n they_o shall_v have_v mercy_n in_o abundance_n they_o shall_v be_v monument_n of_o mercy_n for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o god_n give_v they_o this_o freedom_n by_o his_o son_n that_o he_o may_v convey_v to_o they_o such_o riches_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n as_o that_o all_o the_o common_a goodness_n which_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o general_n be_v as_o nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o mercy_n which_o one_o single_a redeem_v person_n have_v and_o shall_v have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o but_o what_o this_o mercy_n be_v we_o shall_v hear_v particular_o when_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o privilege_n of_o this_o freedom_n property_n 2d_o this_o freedom_n be_v a_o unconceivable_a freedom_n that_o be_v it_o be_v a_o unknown_a thing_n here_o take_v notice_n 1._o what_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v by_o this_o 2._o what_o i_o do_v mean_a by_o it_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v by_o this_o as_o if_o the_o saint_n know_v nothing_o of_o it_o oh_o yes_o bless_v be_v god_n they_o do_v see_v 1_o pet._n 1._o 18_o 19_o forasmuch_o as_o you_o know_v that_o

age_n that_o be_v past_a that_o christ_n can_v revive_v a_o droop_a soul_n and_o cheer_v up_o a_o faint_a spirit_n now_o as_o well_o as_o ever_o he_o can_v 4._o take_v notice_n of_o the_o exceed_a riches_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o upon_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o fall_n he_o shall_v bring_v in_o freedom_n by_o christ_n oh_o what_o a_o astonish_a consideration_n be_v this_o that_o god_n shall_v take_v occasion_n to_o manifest_v his_o high_a mercy_n where_o he_o may_v have_v take_v occasion_n to_o have_v manifest_v his_o hot_a justice_n what_o can_v have_v be_v expect_v

himself_o but_o he_o bring_v in_o a_o promise_n of_o redemption_n by_o christ_n who_o will_v ever_o have_v think_v that_o mercy_n will_v have_v come_v in_o at_o that_o door_n behold_v sir_n at_o what_o strange_a door_n god_n can_v bring_v mercy_n in_o when_o the_o condition_n look_v like_o a_o hopeless_a lose_v undo_v condition_n god_n can_v let_v in_o mercy_n there_o if_o it_o be_v great_a

the_o second_o thing_n what_o be_v intimate_v to_o we_o by_o this_o that_o freedom_n come_v by_o christ_n 1._o it_o intimate_v the_o horrible_a nature_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o no_o less_o than_o god_n own_o son_n must_v be_v the_o redeemer_n from_o it_o you_o know_v sometime_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o disease_n be_v see_v in_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o physician_n that_o come_v to_o the_o
