of_o wondrous_a comfort_n likewise_o to_o we_o in_o all_o affliction_n whatsoever_o especial_o such_o as_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n we_o be_v now_o in_o ill_a time_n if_o we_o look_v about_o we_o however_o god_n continue_v better_a to_o we_o than_o we_o deserve_v we_o be_v as_o the_o three_o young_a man_n in_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n untouched_a when_o all_o be_v in_o a_o

prince_n of_o germany_n belove_a it_o be_v our_o fault_n perhaps_o we_o waken_v not_o christ_n as_o the_o disciple_n they_o awake_v christ_n when_o there_o be_v a_o mighty_a storm_n and_o move_v he_o to_o rebuke_v the_o wind_n and_o the_o wave_n and_o there_o follow_v a_o calm_a so_o shall_v we_o christ_n love_v to_o be_v awake_v by_o our_o prayer_n and_o if_o the_o church_n will_v join_v in_o force_n one_o church_n with_o another_o altogether_o they_o may_v work_v wonder_n let_v we_o offer_v a_o holy_a violence_n to_o christ_n by_o prayer_n and_o the_o use_n of_o holy_a mean_n he_o be_v

can_v hardly_o be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o church_n than_o it_o be_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o former_a security_n and_o dullness_n and_o want_v of_o prize_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o christ_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o sacrament_n we_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n in_o such_o deadness_n and_o such_o sin_n as_o a_o turk_n will_v scarce_o commit_v we_o be_v no_o more_o affect_v with_o it_o than_o a_o jew_n or_o a_o turk_n that_o have_v not_o the_o mean_n will_v christ_n endure_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v careless_a whether_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n the_o bless_a truth_n of_o god_n or_o no_o and_o grow_v sinful_a and_o have_v less_o conscience_n than_o a_o turk_n or_o a_o jew_n will_v christ_n continue_v his_o bless_a prerogative_n and_o privilege_n to_o such_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v but_o look_v to_o the_o ordinary_a disposition_n of_o most_o man_n a_o man_n will_v think_v it_o impossible_a but_o that_o judgement_n shall_v come_v will_v there_o be_v a_o reformation_n of_o these_o man_n without_o a_o spirit_n of_o fire_n without_o some_o purge_a flame_n then_o again_o christ_n be_v humble_v his_o church_n for_o the_o

not_o see_v the_o issue_n of_o thing_n all_o this_o great_a wheel_n the_o lord_n rule_v and_o govern_v and_o move_v you_o shall_v see_v at_o length_n what_o it_o will_v drive_v to_o we_o see_v in_o a_o clock_n there_o be_v many_o wheel_v one_o contrary_a to_o another_o but_o all_o help_v the_o clock_n to_o strike_v all_o join_v in_o that_o so_o there_o be_v a_o stroke_n there_o be_v somewhat_o that_o will_v come_v out_o of_o all_o these_o trouble_n that_o seem_v contrary_a one_o to_o another_o some_o up_o and_o some_o down_o but_o all_o these_o wheel_n will_v help_v to_o bring_v out_o some_o stroke_n some_o glorious_a thing_n that_o posterity_n perhaps_o may_v see_v that_o be_v now_o a_o work_n therefore_o let_v none_o take_v scandal_n christ_n rule_v now_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o enemy_n we_o must_v not_o catch_v at_o piece_n of_o christ_n workmanship_n as_o in_o a_o poem_n we_o judge_v not_o by_o a_o piece_n but_o look_v to_o the_o catastrophe_n we_o look_v to_o the_o

suspend_v your_o judgement_n a_o while_n and_o then_o you_o shall_v see_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n all_o the_o enemy_n overthrow_v even_o as_o if_o we_o do_v see_v it_o with_o our_o eye_n of_o sense_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n persuade_v ourselves_o that_o christ_n be_v about_o a_o bless_a work_n as_o he_o be_v king_n of_o his_o church_n one_o question_n the_o papist_n move_v upon_o such_o text_n as_o this_o that_o i_o will_v assoil_v brief_o because_o it_o may_v trouble_v some_o though_o it_o be_v of_o no_o great_a moment_n it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n hence_o not_o only_a papist_n but_o some_o other_o move_v this_o question_n which_o i_o will_v give_v a_o little_a light_n unto_o whether_o christ_n by_o his_o die_a and_o abasement_n do_v merit_v any_o thing_n for_o himself_o because_o it_o be_v say_v here_o he_o do_v this_o that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a etc._n etc._n he_o abase_v himself_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n therefore_o god_n give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n phil._n 2._o the_o papist_n they_o fall_v upon_o calvin_n that_o say_v he_o do_v not_o and_o that_o make_v i_o the_o rather_o to_o touch_v it_o calvin_n as_o he_o be_v a_o very_a holy_a man_n so_o out_o of_o his_o holiness_n he_o avoid_v curious_a question_n as_o much_o as_o he_o may_v therefore_o give_v a_o excellent_a answer_n say_v he_o whether_o he_o do_v or_o no_o it_o be_v curious_a to_o search_v it_o be_v rash_a to_o define_v for_o satisfaction_n take_v these_o ground_n and_o all_o be_v well_o first_o of_o all_o that_o christ_n be_v perfect_o glorious_a now_o in_o heaven_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o question_n of_o that_o and_o that_o he_o come_v to_o this_o glory_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o it_o after_o his_o abasement_n by_o his_o humiliation_n first_o he_o must_v die_v and_o suffer_v and_o then_o enter_v into_o glory_n again_o remember_v this_o for_o a_o ground_n that_o christ_n as_o man_n merit_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o union_n or_o unction_n for_o how_o can_v he_o merit_v before_o he_o be_v can_v christ_n merit_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o second_o person_n that_o be_v the_o great_a grace_n that_o ever_o be_v no_o nor_o the_o grace_n of_o unction_n habitual_a grace_n in_o christ_n whereby_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v fill_v with_o all_o grace_n it_o be_v upon_o unction_n present_o they_o follow_v one_o another_o there_o be_v no_o merit_v of_o that_o thing_n because_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o incarnation_n it_o be_v by_o union_n of_o his_o nature_n these_o thing_n be_v think_v upon_o for_o other_o thing_n they_o be_v not_o material_a only_o it_o be_v best_a and_o safe_a to_o think_v that_o he_o do_v not_o for_o himself_o merit_v any_o thing_n for_o if_o so_o be_v all_o glory_n be_v due_a to_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o union_n which_o he_o have_v by_o grace_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o unction_n if_o he_o have_v die_v present_o he_o may_v have_v go_v to_o heaven_n present_o indeed_o without_o die_v if_o there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o dispensation_n lay_v upon_o he_o to_o die_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o by_o virtue_n of_o union_n and_o unction_n that_o be_v free_a heaven_n be_v due_a to_o he_o present_o and_o all_o that_o glory_n that_o he_o have_v afterward_o why_o be_v there_o a_o stop_n of_o that_o glory_n that_o his_o body_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v not_o present_o glorify_v as_o now_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n so_o that_o he_o live_v in_o abasement_n and_o die_v a_o most_o curse_a death_n belove_a all_o this_o be_v for_o we_o and_o then_o after_o the_o dispensation_n be_v finish_v for_o we_o after_o god_n justice_n be_v satisfy_v for_o we_o there_o be_v no_o more_o stop_n or_o stay_v of_o his_o glory_n but_o then_o his_o divine_a nature_n do_v flow_v into_o his_o humane_a nature_n and_o then_o his_o humane_a nature_n become_v glorious_a so_o glorious_a as_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o what_o he_o do_v be_v for_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o think_v of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o consider_v we_o and_o not_o himself_o in_o that_o his_o abasement_n as_o the_o scripture_n run_v in_o that_o strain_n to_o we_o a_o son_n be_v give_v for_o we_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v he_o die_v for_o we_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o he_o rise_v for_o we_o he_o ascend_v for_o we_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o we_o himself_o indeed_o have_v glory_n but_o together_o with_o we_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o think_v of_o the_o

of_o this_o subject_n at_o large_a heretofore_o i_o only_o desire_v you_o to_o raise_v up_o your_o thought_n to_o consider_v who_o you_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o with_o he_o that_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o dead_a we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o mighty_a monarch_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n christ_n therefore_o come_v as_o with_o faith_n because_o he_o have_v ordain_v these_o thing_n to_o strengthen_v faith_n so_o come_v with_o reverence_n know_v with_o who_o we_o be_v to_o feast_v and_o to_o deal_v consider_v of_o these_o thing_n and_o then_o i_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v vouchsafe_v a_o blessing_n answerable_a to_o the_o intendment_n of_o his_o ordinance_n the_o second_o sermon_n on_o rome_n 14._o 9_o for_o to_o this_o end_n christ_n both_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n i_o show_v the_o dependence_n in_o the_o forenoon_n a_o christian_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o he_o he_o have_v a_o bless_a aim_n at_o all_o time_n howsoever_o he_o may_v fail_v in_o particular_n yet_o his_o aim_n be_v right_a this_o doubt_n rise_v from_o difference_n of_o aim_n whether_o he_o shall_v please_v god_n or_o man_n his_o doubt_n rise_v in_o please_v of_o god_n what_o may_v please_v he_o most_o and_o because_o he_o see_v not_o always_o what_o may_v please_v he_o therefore_o he_o carry_v this_o honesty_n that_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o will_v do_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v not_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n his_o aim_n be_v for_o good_a at_o all_o time_n now_o this_o be_v prove_v from_o the_o general_a disposition_n of_o christian_n they_o live_v and_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o their_o particular_a action_n must_v be_v to_o the_o lord_n if_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o death_n be_v to_o the_o lord_n their_o action_n must_v be_v to_o he_o now_o he_o prove_v their_o whole_a life_n and_o death_n be_v to_o the_o lord_n because_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n because_o the_o text_n say_v here_o for_o this_o end_n christ_n both_o die_v and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n and_o sure_o he_o be_v lord_n he_o will_v not_o miss_v of_o his_o end_n god_n never_o miss_v of_o his_o end_n because_o he_o can_v remove_v all_o impediment_n between_o he_o and_o his_o end_n now_o it_o be_v christ_n end_n to_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o

this_o in_o a_o word_n be_v speak_v for_o the_o inference_n of_o the_o word_n to_o this_o end_n christ_n both_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v here_o you_o have_v a_o ground_n and_o a_o inference_n

his_o church_n and_o be_v this_o christ_n end_n to_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o live_n and_o of_o the_o dead_a we_o must_v have_v it_o then_o our_o end_n too_o to_o serve_v christ_n to_o live_v and_o die_v to_o he_o for_o be_v under_o he_o our_o end_n must_v be_v answerable_a to_o he_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v after_o for_o this_o end_n again_o where_o it_o be_v say_v 2._o he_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n it_o be_v a_o profitable_a course_n i_o speak_v it_o only_o in_o general_n when_o we_o think_v of_o the_o abasement_n of_o christ_n to_o think_v of_o the_o end_n why_o so_o of_o his_o exaltation_n its_o good_a to_o keep_v these_o together_o to_o avoid_v scandal_n that_o may_v arise_v in_o our_o mind_n from_o either_o though_o of_o by_o itself_o that_o god_n shall_v stoop_v so_o low_a lest_o the_o thought_n of_o christ_n die_v and_o stoop_v so_o low_o shall_v offend_v we_o it_o be_v good_a also_o to_o think_v of_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a and_o if_o that_o dazzle_v thou_o again_o to_o think_v of_o our_o saviour_n now_o in_o glory_n full_a of_o majesty_n in_o heaven_n and_o how_o shall_v thou_o have_v access_n to_o so_o glorious_a majesty_n oh_o come_v down_o again_o and_o think_v of_o god_n incarnate_a god_n go_v up_o and_o down_o in_o our_o flesh_n of_o god_n die_v die_v a_o curse_a death_n &_o rise_v again_o thus_o in_o your_o meditation_n inter_v weave_v these_o thought_n to_o avoid_v scandal_n think_v of_o his_o glory_n and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v amaze_v at_o the_o glory_n so_o as_o to_o be_v deter_v from_o go_v bold_o to_o he_o think_v of_o bone_n of_o our_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o our_o flesh_n god_n die_v in_o our_o nature_n join_v these_o two_o together_o for_o this_o end_n the_o son_n of_o god_n both_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n again_o you_o see_v here_o in_o general_a that_o the_o grand_a principal_a point_n of_o religion_n have_v a_o influence_n into_o all_o the_o particular_n and_o there_o be_v a_o homogeniall_a deduction_n as_o we_o call_v it_o of_o divine_a truth_n one_o from_o another_o all_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o all_o divinity_n for_o howsoever_o divine_a truth_n be_v contrary_a to_o carnal_a reason_n sometime_o yet_o there_o be_v strong_a reason_n in_o all_o divine_a truth_n for_o one_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o another_o and_o one_o depend_v upon_o another_o as_o here_o christ_n die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v one_o follow_v another_o what_o from_o all_o this_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a how_o then_o prove_v he_o that_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o because_o he_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v one_o rise_v from_o another_o so_o that_o though_o carnal_a reason_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o all_o divinity_n be_v another_o yet_o there_o be_v reason_n and_o deduction_n issue_v of_o one_o thing_n from_o another_o in_o divinity_n most_o wise_o and_o holy_o and_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o wisdom_n to_o observe_v how_o conclusion_n rise_v from_o principle_n as_o branch_n and_o bud_n do_v from_o root_n indeed_o if_o we_o will_v enter_v into_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n how_o they_o give_v life_n and_o rise_v unto_o their_o particular_n they_o will_v have_v a_o influence_n into_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n as_o perhaps_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o particular_n more_o clear_o for_o this_o end_n etc._n etc._n again_o in_o general_a when_o he_o say_v christ_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o dead_a we_o see_v thence_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n from_o the_o first_o man_n live_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o church_n under_o one_o head_n christ_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o those_o that_o be_v before_o the_o law_n under_o the_o law_n under_o the_o gospel_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o dead_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o live_n all_o come_v under_o one_o head_n which_o have_v no_o further_a use_n than_o to_o inform_v we_o in_o that_o one_o point_n of_o doctrine_n to_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v yesterday_o as_o well_o as_o to_o day_n to_o morrow_n and_o for_o ever_o all_o that_o be_v save_v before_o that_o be_v save_v now_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o can_v be_v save_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n now_o therefore_o to_o come_v more_o particular_o christ_n be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n what_o a_o lord_n we_o hear_v before_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wondrous_a comfort_n and_o likewise_o a_o point_n inform_v we_o of_o our_o duty_n and_o withal_o show_v we_o that_o christ_n will_v work_v that_o duty_n in_o we_o because_o he_o be_v a_o lord_n not_o only_o that_o shall_v rule_v over_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o he_o but_o to_o make_v we_o subject_a to_o he_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wondrous_a comfort_n and_o of_o duty_n and_o of_o this_o issue_n that_o we_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v enable_v to_o perform_v that_o duty_n to_o our_o lord_n and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wondrous_a security_n in_o life_n in_o death_n as_o alas_o sometime_o one_o thing_n amaze_v we_o sometime_o another_o sometime_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v elias_n be_v afraid_a to_o live_v sometime_o we_o be_v afraid_a ofdeath_n as_o we_o be_v all_o natural_o why_o come_v life_n or_o death_n come_v what_o will_v come_v we_o be_v under_o a_o lord_n that_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n so_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wondrous_a security_n and_o quiet_a to_o a_o christian_a in_o all_o passage_n he_o sometime_o live_v and_o sometime_o die_v but_o his_o salvation_n be_v not_o at_o that_o hazard_n to_o be_v off_o and_o on_o but_o whether_o he_o live_v or_o die_v he_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v save_v for_o he_o be_v under_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a but_o to_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o the_o first_o it_o be_v intend_v for_o comfort_n as_o well_o as_o direction_n to_o duty_n and_o to_o be_v subject_n to_o submit_v to_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o comfort_n that_o we_o have_v a_o lord_n that_o rule_v we_o for_o our_o good_a while_o we_o be_v live_v and_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o for_o ever_o and_o indeed_o we_o can_v have_v a_o great_a comfort_n belove_v than_o this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o but_o that_o we_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n that_o we_o be_v under_o christ_n why_o what_o a_o comfort_n be_v this_o will_v you_o say_v homo_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la natus_fw-la etc._n etc._n as_o the_o natural_a man_n say_v a_o man_n be_v not_o bear_v to_o

comfort_n as_o the_o rule_n be_v every_o thing_n be_v perfect_a if_o it_o be_v weak_a by_o that_o whereby_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o high_a the_o vine_n be_v perfect_a by_o lean_v to_o the_o elm_n it_o will_v lie_v on_o the_o simil._n ground_n else_o and_o be_v spoil_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o weak_a creature_n the_o sheep_n be_v to_o have_v a_o shepherd_n the_o perfection_n of_o a_o

else_o and_o so_o it_o be_v our_o perfection_n that_o we_o be_v under_o a_o lord_n such_o a_o lord_n as_o this_o be_v cui_fw-la servire_fw-la regnare_fw-la est_fw-la etc._n etc._n to_o who_o to_o
