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

of_o i_o own_o heart_n more_o than_o all_o the_o good_a that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n now_o do_v you_o think_v can_v such_o a_o soul_n as_o this_o be_v save_v now_o you_o sin_n against_o the_o

people_n be_v mighty_a earnest_n about_o come_v to_o sacrament_n now_o do_v but_o read_v 1_o cor._n 11._o it_o be_v a_o scripture_n which_o i_o know_v you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o scripture_n be_v not_o unacquainted_a with_o vers_n 27._o whosoever_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n unworthy_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o what_o then_o vers_n 29._o he_o eat_v and_o drink_v his_o own_o damnation_n when_o you_o will_v have_v the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o come_v in_o your_o sin_n and_o filthiness_n and_o do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n you_o come_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o to_o be_v guilty_a

and_o drink_v your_o own_o soul_n damnation_n and_o then_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n let_v not_o mercy_n harden_v you_o but_o let_v it_o soften_v your_o heart_n oh_o that_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o good_a forwardness_n to_o be_v save_v that_o every_o time_n it_o think_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n it_o find_v itself_o to_o melt_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o mourn_v bitter_o for_o sin_n when_o as_o it_o apply_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o itself_o i_o that_o be_v a_o good_a evidence_n but_o now_o when_o you_o think_v or_o speak_v of_o god_n mercy_n you_o find_v your_o heart_n the_o more_o harden_v in_o sin_n oh_o this_o be_v dreadful_a for_o how_o can_v such_o a_o soul_n be_v save_v that_o sin_n against_o the_o mercy_n and_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 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 against_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n and_o against_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n eleven_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o soul_n save_v take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n that_o must_v draw_v thou_o to_o christ_n and_o guide_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n if_o ever_o thou_o be_v save_v now_o take_v heed_n of_o slight_v the_o

thou_o oh_o lord_n i_o live_v a_o long_a time_n in_o a_o deadhearted_n condition_n never_o mind_v the_o good_a of_o my_o soul_n but_o thou_o have_v begin_v to_o stir_v i_o and_o lord_n i_o hope_v it_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o thy_o save_a work_n upon_o my_o soul_n oh_o that_o thou_o will_v go_v on_o with_o it_o how_o many_o upon_o their_o sick-bed_n and_o deathbed_n will_v give_v a_o thousand_o

temptation_n stir_v take_v heed_n of_o listen_v to_o temptation_n and_o reject_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n but_o think_v of_o that_o that_o we_o read_v on_o of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n when_o they_o be_v go_v to_o canaan_n they_o be_v very_o near_o canaan_n and_o when_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o border_n of_o it_o they_o refuse_v to_o go_v into_o the_o land_n when_o god_n will_v

any_o more_o that_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o justice_n a_o price_n pay_v for_o the_o soul_n no_o soul_n be_v ever_o save_v but_o it_o be_v save_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o price_n that_o be_v pay_v for_o it_o and_o this_o thou_o must_v acquaint_v thy_o soul_n with_o which_o thousand_o of_o people_n be_v ignorant_a of_o yet_o they_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v but_o how_o they_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o be_v here_o all_o certain_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v that_o that_o reveal_v unto_o the_o soul_n the_o price_n that_o be_v pay_v for_o a_o soul_n even_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o in_o christ_n the_o great_a mediator_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n there_o be_v a_o perfect_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n infinite_a justice_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v the_o save_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o thou_o must_v acquaint_v thy_o soul_n with_o this_o truth_n if_o thou_o be_v save_v and_o when_o thou_o hear_v of_o this_o truth_n perhaps_o thou_o can_v not_o understand_v it_o for_o the_o present_a oh_o then_o thou_o have_v need_v go_v to_o god_n in_o secret_a and_o be_v cry_v to_o he_o that_o he_o will_v reveal_v this_o truth_n unto_o thou_o but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v not_o our_o cry_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o mere_o our_o cry_n but_o there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n further_o but_o god_n have_v make_v many_o gracious_a promise_n of_o answer_v our_o cry_n and_o now_o that_o so_o he_o may_v make_v good_a his_o promise_n he_o will_v further_o reveal_v this_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o thou_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n for_o thy_o sin_n that_o have_v bring_v thy_o soul_n into_o a_o lose_a condition_n second_o and_o further_o a_o necessity_n of_o a_o perfect_a righteousness_n we_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n controversal_a about_o it_o which_o way_n it_o come_v to_o be_v apply_v but_o this_o all_o will_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n thou_o must_v have_v a_o surety_n that_o must_v have_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n for_o thou_o three_o and_o then_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n be_v this_o it_o reveal_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o the_o application_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o application_n of_o that_o that_o it_o must_v be_v make_v thy_o some_o way_n that_o thou_o must_v have_v thy_o part_n and_o share_v in_o it_o by_o thy_o union_n unto_o christ_n and_o by_o be_v make_v one_o mystical_o with_o he_o through_o faith_n so_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o mere_o save_v through_o mercy_n nor_o thus_o that_o christ_n he_o have_v come_v and_o do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o say_v god_n the_o father_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v save_v thou_o for_o he_o have_v satisfy_v i_o by_o what_o he_o have_v do_v no_o but_o there_o be_v somewhat_o more_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o conclusion_n we_o be_v save_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v by_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n we_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o make_v one_o with_o he_o and_o so_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o our_o salvation_n be_v tender_v up_o to_o the_o father_n as_o we_o we_o be_v one_o with_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o now_o if_o thou_o shall_v know_v thy_o miserable_a estate_n by_o nature_n and_o thereupon_o inquire_v after_o salvation_n and_o cry_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v further_a suppose_v thou_o come_v to_o know_v more_o than_o thou_o can_v understand_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o yet_o the_o gospel_n do_v reveal_v to_o thou_o that_o not_o only_o thou_o must_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n but_o thou_o must_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n there_o must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a marriage_n between_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o soul_n thou_o must_v have_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o head_n and_o thou_o a_o member_n he_o thy_o husband_n and_o thou_o his_o spouse_n thou_o must_v inquire_v after_o this_o union_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n of_o believe_a and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n to_o the_o jailor_n when_o he_o cry_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o be_v save_v why_o say_v he_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v it_o must_v be_v through_o jesus_n christ_n the_o great_a mediator_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n by_o thy_o believe_a in_o he_o and_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o that_o thou_o must_v come_v to_o be_v save_v four_o and_o then_o the_o gospel_n it_o reveal_v further_a as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n a_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n of_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n renew_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n the_o want_n of_o which_o if_o the_o soul_n shall_v now_o depart_v it_o must_v certain_o perish_v under_o but_o now_o if_o it_o come_v to_o be_v save_v it_o must_v have_v this_o reveal_v to_o it_o for_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v hold_v forth_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n in_o beget_v that_o soul_n anew_o to_o himself_o that_o he_o do_v intend_v to_o save_v in_o put_v a_o new_a life_n into_o it_o in_o send_v the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n into_o it_o whereby_o it_o live_v and_o act_n and_o work_n be_v now_o carry_v on_o not_o by_o its_o own_o spirit_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o do_v act_n of_o regeneration_n so_o christ_n tell_v nicodomus_n he_o must_v be_v bear_v again_o and_o this_o only_a the_o gospel_n reveal_v and_o thus_o our_o soul_n shall_v labour_v to_o acquaint_v themselves_o with_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o
