give_v all_o the_o respect_n that_o may_v be_v to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v the_o only_a saviour_n of_o soul_n and_o for_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n take_v heed_n you_o sin_v not_o

for_o who_o shall_v hear_v and_o plead_v for_o thy_o soul_n before_o god_n when_o as_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v be_v thy_o

and_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n to_o set_v out_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o to_o show_v the_o deal_n of_o god_n with_o his_o son_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n if_o i_o will_v preach_v but_o one_o sermon_n that_o shall_v be_v my_o last_o of_o the_o terribleness_n of_o god_n justice_n i_o will_v speak_v of_o some_o scripture_n that_o shall_v show_v the_o

christ_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n mercy_n appear_v in_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n be_v more_o in_o christ_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n we_o enjoy_v these_o outward_a comfort_n as_o a_o fruit_n of_o the_o bounty_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n i_o but_o what_o be_v all_o these_o to_o all_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o his_o son_n i_o remember_v a_o learned_a man_n compare_v all_o the_o good_a thing_n we_o receive_v from_o god_n from_o his_o general_a bounty_n and_o providence_n and_o his_o love_n and_o mercy_n that_o appear_v in_o christ_n with_o a_o few_o spark_n that_o come_v out_o of_o a_o burn_a furnace_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o it_o within_o look_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o they_o such_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o in_o all_o the_o comfort_n in_o this_o world_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n god_n he_o will_v have_v a_o argument_n to_o manifest_v the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o love_n unto_o his_o creature_n and_o no_o such_o argument_n as_o this_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o only_a beget_v son_n 3.16_o joh._n 3.16_o and_o so_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n truth_n that_o be_v manifest_v in_o fulfil_a promise_n christ_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n truth_n appear_v in_o christ_n any_o promise_n that_o be_v fulfil_v manifest_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o faithfulness_n but_o now_o the_o fulfil_a that_o great_a promise_n of_o god_n in_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n here_o the_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n appear_v more_o glorious_o than_o in_o all_o other_o for_o there_o be_v never_o a_o promise_n so_o difficult_a as_o this_o promise_n many_o man_n can_v be_v content_a to_o fulfil_v promise_n of_o small_a moment_n when_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o i_o but_o here_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o there_o be_v the_o great_a difficulty_n for_o god_n to_o fulfil_v this_o promise_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v promise_v and_o indeed_o when_o as_o we_o hear_v that_o christ_n be_v promise_v some_o four_o thousand_o year_n before_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o at_o length_n he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o teach_v we_o never_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o fulfil_n of_o god_n promise_n and_o indeed_o the_o right_a apprehension_n of_o god_n faithfulness_n in_o this_o great_a promise_n of_o his_o son_n will_v mighty_o strengthen_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v any_o small_a promise_n and_o not_o to_o stagger_v in_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o people_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o stagger_v in_o their_o belief_n about_o small_a promise_n it_o be_v because_o they_o have_v not_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n in_o believe_v that_o great_a promise_n that_o god_n make_v with_o his_o people_n in_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n so_o that_o these_o attribute_n with_o all_o other_o do_v shine_v glorious_o in_o christ_n no_o marvel_n then_o though_o the_o angel_n upon_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n they_o cry_v out_o glory_n be_v to_o god_n on_o high_a as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v oh_o lord_n here_o be_v one_o come_v into_o the_o world_n wherein_o thy_o glory_n do_v appear_v and_o by_o who_o thou_o shall_v have_v glory_n to_o all_o eternity_n though_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o babe_n in_o the_o manger_n yet_o the_o angel_n do_v see_v more_o

when_o they_o see_v the_o babe_n in_o the_o manger_n then_o oh_o glory_n be_v to_o god_n on_o high_a we_o behold_v thy_o glory_n shine_v here_o and_o bless_v be_v those_o that_o shall_v be_v enable_v

to_o do_v that_o for_o they_o ordinary_o when_o we_o be_v exercise_v with_o outward_a affliction_n we_o only_o think_v of_o some_o natural_a help_n and_o comfort_n contrary_a to_o those_o particular_a

with_o we_o in_o he_o upon_o that_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n in_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n my_o condition_n be_v very_o sad_a and_o i_o be_o grievous_o afflict_v i_o but_o sure_o that_o mercy_n that_o will_v send_v jesus_n christ_n into_o the_o world_n that_o mercy_n be_v enough_o to_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o any_o affliction_n or_o at_o least_o to_o bless_v it_o to_o i_o therefore_o do_v not_o only_o cry_v to_o god_n when_o you_o be_v sick_a or_o in_o trouble_n to_o deliver_v you_o from_o it_o but_o labour_v to_o exercise_v faith_n upon_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n

its_o misery_n consist_v because_o god_n will_v keep_v all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o lose_a soul_n in_o their_o utmost_a activity_n whereas_o now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o we_o for_o if_o

of_o the_o irrecoverableness_n of_o the_o lostness_n of_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v once_o lose_v the_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v depart_v from_o the_o body_n and_o once_o lose_v than_o all_o the_o

there_o be_v divers_a aggravation_n wherein_o the_o misery_n of_o it_o do_v further_o appear_v the_o first_o aggravation_n be_v this_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o lose_v than_o the_o body_n be_v and_o will_v be_v lose_v also_o it_o will_v bring_v the_o body_n into_o the_o very_a same_o lose_a condition_n of_o misery_n that_o it_o be_v in_o its_o self_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o misery_n and_o that_o upon_o these_o two_o ground_n first_o because_o the_o body_n all_o the_o time_n a_o man_n do_v live_v in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v the_o only_a or_o most_o immediate_a instrument_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v to_o work_v and_o to_o sin_v by_o and_o certain_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v that_o body_n and_o curse_v it_o that_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o soul_n because_o it_o be_v the_o only_a instrument_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o sin_n by_o second_o miserable_a must_v the_o body_n also_o be_v because_o when_o such_o a_o lose_a soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v unto_o the_o body_n the_o very_a extremity_n of_o the_o soul_n must_v needs_o bring_v misery_n upon_o the_o body_n also_o as_o thus_o when_o christ_n have_v the_o apprehension_n of_o his_o father_n wrath_n and_o displeasure_n in_o his_o soul_n how_o do_v it_o work_v upon_o his_o body_n even_o so_o as_o to_o cause_v even_o clodder_n of_o blood_n to_o fall_v from_o he_o now_o what_o cause_v this_o pain_n in_o his_o body_n but_o the_o terror_n of_o god_n in_o his_o soul_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v but_o sin_n impute_v unto_o he_o then_o certain_o the_o body_n of_o a_o

38.2.3_o psal_n 38.2.3_o and_o thy_o hand_n press_v i_o sore_o there_o be_v no_o soundness_n in_o my_o flesh_n because_o of_o thy_o anger_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o rest_n in_o my_o bone_n because_o of_o my_o sin_n i_o say_v if_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n cause_v this_o misery_n unto_o david_n body_n for_o his_o sin_n what_o misery_n will_v that_o be_v when_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o their_o utmost_a capacity_n o_o then_o i_o say_v what_o dreadful_a evil_n and_o pain_n will_v there_o be_v unto_o the_o body_n unite_v unto_o such_o a_o soul_n the_o second_o aggravation_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v this_o that_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v in_o this_o lose_a condition_n than_o it_o come_v to_o be_v in_o the_o deadfull_a and_o most_o miserable_a condition_n that_o any_o creature_n be_v in_o except_o the_o devil_n themselves_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a thing_n to_o have_v riches_n keep_v for_o a_o man_n hurt_n but_o o_o then_o what_o a_o evil_a be_v it_o and_o will_v it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v a_o immortal_a soul_n for_o his_o hurt_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o a_o lose_a soul_n the_o three_o aggravation_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v this_o it_o will_v have_v none_o to_o pity_v it_o in_o that_o its_o miserable_a lose_a condition_n it_o be_v in_o if_o a_o man_n in_o this_o world_n shall_v lose_v his_o estate_n or_o any_o great_a loss_n he_o will_v have_v many_o to_o pity_v he_o if_o a_o man_n lose_v by_o fire_n than_o he_o may_v obtain_v a_o gather_n whereby_o his_o loss_n may_v be_v partly_o make_v up_o or_o he_o relieve_v or_o if_o you_o lose_v your_o child_n you_o have_v your_o friend_n to_o pity_v you_o and_o to_o condole_v with_o you_o but_o that_o man_n that_o shall_v have_v his_o soul_n lose_v he_o shall_v be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v none_o to_o pity_v he_o true_o we_o be_v all_o lose_v by_o nature_n but_o in_o that_o our_o lose_a condition_n we_o have_v god_n pity_v we_o and_o christ_n pity_v we_o and_o the_o angel_n look_v upon_o we_o with_o pity_n
