great_a wonder_n in_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n but_o to_o unite_v the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n not_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n 2.16_o heb._n 2.16_o for_o so_o the_o scripture_n say_v christ_n do_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o if_o christ_n will_v have_v be_v unite_v to_o another_o nature_n one_o will_v have_v think_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v to_o a_o angelical_a nature_n but_o to_o refuse_v that_o and_o take_v man_n nature_n and_o unite_v it_o in_o one_o person_n that_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o that_o person_n that_o be_v god_n the_o same_o person_n be_v man_n here_o be_v the_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n the_o personal_a union_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n and_o indeed_o from_o hence_o many_o wonderful_a thing_n will_v arise_v as_o from_o hence_o that_o same_o person_n that_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o the_o world_n be_v a_o creature_n the_o same_o person_n i_o do_v not_o say_v the_o same_o nature_n this_o be_v the_o wonder_n in_o scripture_n and_o he_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o mankind_n yet_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o the_o lord_n of_o mankind_n the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v eternal_a immortal_a yet_o he_o die_v so_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n what_o can_v god_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n that_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o eternal_a god_n who_o name_n alone_o be_v excellent_a can_v he_o be_v crucify_v yet_o that_o person_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n who_o name_n alone_o be_v glorious_a that_o person_n be_v crucify_v but_o suffer_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n whatsoever_o christ_n do_v suffer_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o that_o person_n that_o be_v god_n do_v suffer_v though_o not_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n can_v not_o suffer_v but_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n he_o do_v suffer_v it_o be_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n clear_o and_o i_o may_v give_v you_o many_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o show_v you_o that_o that_o person_n that_o be_v god_n suffer_v but_o that_o be_v enough_o they_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n 1_o cor._n 2.8_o but_o you_o will_v say_v to_o what_o great_a purpose_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o understand_v this_o that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o man_n what_o need_v we_o look_v so_o much_o at_o the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n my_o brethren_n know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o this_o in_o know_v the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n it_o be_v of_o marvellous_a use_n unto_o you_o for_o the_o help_a of_o your_o faith_n to_o know_v not_o only_o that_o christ_n have_v those_o two_o nature_n but_o the_o union_n of_o those_o two_o nature_n you_o will_v say_v how_o may_v it_o help_v our_o faith_n thus_o because_o hereby_o you_o may_v see_v that_o whatsoever_o christ_n do_v or_o suffer_v though_o but_o in_o his_o humane_a nature_n yet_o it_o be_v of_o infinite_a value_n and_o efficacy_n and_o the_o infinite_a value_n and_o efficacy_n of_o what_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v do_v arise_v from_o the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v that_o person_n that_o be_v god_n do_v such_o thing_n and_o suffer_v such_o thing_n i_o remember_v i_o myself_o once_o know_v a_o very_a godly_a man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o sickness_n be_v in_o a_o great_a agony_n under_o a_o very_a great_a temptation_n and_o at_o midnight_n send_v a_o mile_n or_o two_o for_o a_o minister_n and_o he_o come_v to_o he_o and_o this_o be_v his_o temptation_n fear_v he_o shall_v die_v man_n a_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o the_o devil_n come_v with_o this_o temptation_n why_o thy_o sin_n do_v deserve_v a_o infinite_a punishment_n thou_o have_v sin_v against_o a_o infinite_a god_n and_o thou_o do_v deserve_v eternal_a death_n but_o christ_n in_o who_o you_o have_v trust_v he_o be_v man_n and_o suffer_v only_o in_o his_o humane_a nature_n he_o can_v suffer_v only_o that_o that_o be_v finite_a and_o his_o death_n be_v but_o a_o few_o day_n a_o day_n or_o two_o how_o can_v he_o by_o suffer_v that_o that_o be_v but_o finite_a by_o endure_v a_o little_a while_n pain_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o by_o be_v under_o death_n but_o a_o day_n or_o two_o how_o can_v he_o deliver_v you_o from_o a_o infinite_a suffering_n and_o from_o eternal_a death_n this_o be_v the_o temptation_n that_o lie_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o be_v in_o a_o most_o lamentable_a agony_n of_o spirit_n upon_o this_o temptation_n but_o now_o in_o his_o call_n to_o mind_n this_o that_o though_o christ_n in_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v but_o finite_a and_o that_o that_o he_o suffer_v can_v be_v but_o finite_a yet_o because_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v unite_v in_o one_o person_n unto_o the_o divine_a nature_n hence_o what_o the_o humane_a nature_n do_v suffer_v though_o finite_a come_v to_o be_v of_o infinite_a value_n and_o worth_n and_o though_o his_o death_n that_o he_o be_v under_o be_v but_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o yet_o it_o be_v of_o merit_n sufficient_a to_o ransom_n from_o eternal_a death_n because_o the_o person_n that_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o by_o recall_v what_o he_o have_v hear_v heretofore_o about_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n he_o come_v to_o be_v ease_v and_o the_o temptation_n begin_v to_o vanish_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v no_o way_n that_o i_o know_v of_o to_o satisfy_v one_o heart_n and_o conscience_n in_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o christ_n merit_n but_o in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o merit_n of_o he_o that_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n it_o be_v true_a those_o that_o do_v not_o see_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o infinite_a merit_n they_o can_v easy_o satisfy_v themselves_o and_o say_v they_o believe_v in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o die_v for_o they_o ay_o but_o how_o can_v thou_o tell_v that_o this_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o infinite_a merit_n to_o satisfy_v the_o infinite_a justice_n of_o god_n that_o require_v satisfaction_n for_o thy_o sin_n why_o god_n have_v so_o appoint_v it_o and_o i_o hope_v in_o god_n it_o be_v so_o but_o if_o thou_o can_v see_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o that_o will_v be_v a_o marvellous_a help_n to_o thy_o faith_n that_o thou_o can_v look_v upon_o thy_o mediator_n as_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n and_o therefore_o thou_o can_v look_v upon_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v do_v or_o suffer_v as_o of_o infinite_a value_n and_o so_o thou_o can_v present_v it_o with_o boldness_n unto_o god_n the_o right_a understanding_n of_o christ_n thus_o will_v help_v we_o to_o honour_n christ_n much_o and_o will_v make_v he_o to_o be_v a_o further_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n thus_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o person_n in_o his_o person_n as_o

many_o ignorant_a people_n that_o pervert_v the_o word_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n if_o god_n be_v not_o merciful_a to_o they_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o pray_v or_o read_v or_o hear_v or_o use_v any_o mean_n let_v we_o lay_v aside_o all_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o the_o like_a now_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o though_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v by_o we_o till_o god_n bring_v we_o into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n that_o be_v acceptable_a so_o as_o certain_o shall_v bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n yet_o if_o it_o be_v but_o that_o that_o shall_v stop_v we_o in_o the_o contrary_a way_n a_o little_a it_o be_v worth_a our_o labour_n if_o it_o be_v but_o that_o that_o any_o way_n may_v tend_v towards_o the_o bring_n of_o we_o unto_o any_o mean_n that_o may_v do_v we_o good_a why_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o labour_n and_o all_o our_o pain_n but_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v this_o that_o though_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v that_o that_o shall_v save_v we_o yet_o god_n be_v please_v often_o to_o convey_v his_o strength_n to_o those_o he_o do_v intend_v to_o save_v through_o the_o use_n of_o those_o mean_n rather_o at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o do_v improve_v their_o natural_a ability_n than_o at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o sit_v idle_a and_o do_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v be_v up_o and_o be_v do_v we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n concern_v the_o young_a man_n that_o i_o tell_v you_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o inquire_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v for_o eternal_a life_n christ_n profess_v to_o he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n he_o be_v not_o so_o far_o as_o other_o it_o be_v true_a if_o a_o man_n abuse_v his_o do_v and_o rest_v in_o his_o

thing_n that_o save_v we_o yet_o we_o have_v ground_n enough_o to_o put_v on_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o do_v now_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o great_a question_n be_v this_o what_o be_v the_o way_n that_o god_n ordinary_o take_v to_o bring_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o salvation_n by_o or_o how_o shall_v i_o follow_v god_n on_o in_o his_o way_n that_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n of_o the_o ancient_n though_o god_n make_v thou_o without_o thou_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o save_v thou_o without_o thou_o god_n work_v upon_o we_o as_o upon_o rational_a creature_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v concern_v

and_o cunning_n be_v exceed_o much_a see_v in_o they_o a_o further_a thing_n that_o i_o will_v premise_v before_o i_o come_v to_o particular_n be_v this_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o

not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n i_o will_v reason_v from_o this_o scripture_n thus_o what_o soul_n soever_o be_v not_o under_o

be_v under_o grace_n if_o our_o soul_n be_v in_o such_o a_o estate_n as_o they_o be_v under_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o there_o must_v not_o any_o one_o sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o they_o there_o may_v some_o sin_n dwell_v there_o but_o not_o reign_v there_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o rule_v over_o the_o soul_n quest_n you_o will_v say_v then_o what_o be_v it_o for_o sin_n to_o have_v dominion_n answ_n when_o sin_n shall_v set_v up_o a_o kind_n of_o throne_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o give_v law_n as_o a_o

and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o sin_n now_o sin_n have_v dominion_n when_o it_o be_v as_o a_o king_n upon_o his_o throne_n that_o thou_o yielde_v subjection_n unto_o it_o and_o for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o thy_o own_o lust_n thou_o be_v willing_a that_o this_o sin_n shall_v rule_v over_o thou_o now_o that_o you_o may_v know_v a_o little_a further_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o sin_n and_o jesus_n christ_n can_v have_v dominion_n both_o together_o then_o thus_o far_o we_o may_v go_v safe_o that_o except_o jesus_n christ_n have_v dominion_n over_o you_o than_o sin_n have_v but_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o christ_n have_v dominion_n i_o will_v but_o appeal_v to_o you_o in_o this_o plain_a and_o familiar_a kind_n of_o express_v of_o myself_o can_v thou_o say_v as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o see_v and_o search_v thy_o heart_n o_o lord_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o have_v give_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v put_v this_o to_o every_o soul_n here_o present_a and_o i_o beseech_v you_o weigh_v it_o for_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o matter_n of_o life_n and_o death_n of_o salvation_n and_o damnation_n now_o therefore_o i_o put_v this_o unto_o you_o and_o think_v of_o it_o can_v thou_o appeal_v to_o god_n in_o the_o sincerity_n of_o thy_o heart_n and_o say_v lord_n thou_o be_v the_o seer_n and_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n and_o thou_o know_v that_o though_o i_o have_v many_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n and_o be_o often_o overcome_v by_o temptation_n yet_o thou_o know_v that_o i_o have_v give_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o i_o do_v give_v it_o up_o and_o it_o be_v that_o that_o my_o soul_n

the_o mind_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whatsoever_o it_o cost_v i_o thou_o that_o know_v all_o thing_n know_v i_o will_v submit_v unto_o it_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v against_o the_o mind_n of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o it_o be_v but_o know_v to_o i_o thou_o know_v that_o my_o heart_n be_v against_o it_o and_o i_o will_v rather_o than_o a_o world_n that_o i_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o power_n of_o it_o can_v thou_o speak_v thus_o as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o certain_o a_o christian_n though_o a_o weak_a christian_a can_v appeal_v to_o god_n in_o the_o

that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o can_v sleep_v quiet_o so_o have_v a_o strange_a pillow_n to_o sleep_v upon_o it_o be_v report_v of_o augustus_n caesar_n that_o hear_v of_o a_o gentleman_n that_o be_v
