for_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n of_o mercy_n of_o grace_n of_o holiness_n of_o life_n or_o glory_n which_o god_n have_v make_v in_o christ_n to_o sinner_n but_o he_o have_v stamp_v the_o same_o in_o christ_n the_o man_n so_o that_o every_o man_n that_o see_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n with_o true_a spiritual_a eye_n may_v see_v that_o his_o flesh_n be_v stamp_v with_o righteousness_n with_o the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o with_o immortal_a peace_n &_o everlasting_a glory_n but_o to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o seal_n it_o be_v true_a that_o many_o man_n run_v to_o his_o deity_n to_o find_v this_o seal_n and_o that_o because_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o hebrew_n concern_v christ_n that_o he_o be_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o express_v or_o in_o grave_a image_n of_o the_o father_n person_n for_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o that_o see_v the_o son_n see_v also_o the_o father_n but_o not_o withstand_v all_o this_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v be_v seal_v by_o the_o father_n only_o in_o his_o divine_a nature_n as_o he_o be_v the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n &_o that_o this_o seal_n of_o god_n have_v never_o reach_v from_o his_o god_n head_n to_o his_o humanity_n his_o flesh_n can_v never_o have_v be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n therefore_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o see_v this_o seal_n of_o god_n engrave_v in_o christ_n the_o man_n else_o how_o can_v we_o know_v that_o by_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n we_o have_v eternal_a life_n since_o with_o out_o this_o seal_n his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v have_v no_o more_o force_n to_o give_v life_n than_o any_o other_o flesh_n or_o blood_n of_o any_o other_o man_n therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v wherein_o this_o seal_n of_o the_o son_n as_o he_o be_v man_n consist_v this_o seal_n have_v five_o special_a thing_n in_o it_o to_o be_v consider_v the_o first_o be_v god_n eternal_a ordination_n &_o appointment_n whereby_o he_o do_v ordain_v christ_n the_o man_n and_o none_o but_o christ_n the_o man_n to_o be_v the_o food_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o be_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n &_o we_o &_o so_o to_o be_v the_o only_a king_n priest_n &_o prophet_n of_o god_n house_n for_o ever_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o appointment_n of_o god_n christ_n come_v to_o be_v that_o to_o we_o that_o he_o be_v and_o this_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n concern_v christ_n in_o his_o flesh_n to_o be_v our_o redeemer_n be_v make_v manifest_a in_o the_o scripture_n when_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o god_n ordain_v he_o before_o the_o world_n be_v in_o the_o 1._o of_o peter_n the_o 1._o chap._n and_o again_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n by_o which_o a_o man_n can_v be_v save_v but_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n only_o and_o this_o be_v ratify_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o testimony_n both_o of_o god_n himself_o and_o john_n baptist_n and_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o father_n from_o heaven_n do_v witness_v so_o much_o when_o as_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o well_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v there_o by_o declare_v that_o in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n now_o make_v man_n his_o wrath_n towards_o we_o be_v take_v away_o and_o he_o well_o please_v with_o we_o not_o withstand_v our_o manifold_a sin_n commit_v against_o he_o and_o all_o those_o speech_n of_o god_n whereby_o god_n ratify_v that_o christ_n the_o man_n be_v his_o son_n say_v thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o be_v get_v thou_o &_o where_o by_o he_o confirm_v he_o to_o be_v our_o everlasting_a priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeke_n and_o whereby_o he_o witness_n he_o to_o be_v make_v lord_n of_o his_o church_n say_v the_o lord_n say_v to_o my_o lord_n sit_v at_o my_o right_a hand_n till_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o footstool_n all_o these_o do_v make_v manifest_a the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n that_o it_o be_v christ_n the_o man_n who_o god_n have_v decree_v to_o be_v both_o the_o author_n and_o matter_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o seal_n of_o god_n this_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v ordain_v he_o only_o and_o none_o but_o he_o to_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n the_o second_o part_n of_o god_n seal_n where_o by_o he_o have_v seal_v christ_n the_o man_n appear_v in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n own_o power_n which_o the_o father_n give_v he_o to_o do_v as_o in_o raise_v the_o dead_a command_v of_o the_o sea_n and_o tempest_n the_o restore_a sight_n to_o the_o blind_a cure_v of_o all_o disease_n yea_o and_o command_v the_o very_a devil_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 5._o of_o john_n vers_fw-la 6._o after_o this_o manner_n the_o work_n which_o the_o father_n have_v give_v i_o to_o finish_v the_o same_o work_n that_o i_o do_v bear_n witness_v that_o the_o father_n send_v i_o &_o the_o father_n himself_o which_o have_v send_v i_o bear_v witness_v of_o i_o and_o again_o in_o the_o 10._o of_o john_n vers_fw-la 25_o if_o i_o do_v not_o the_o work_n of_o my_o father_n believe_v i_o not_o but_o if_o i_o do_v they_o though_o you_o believe_v not_o i_o yet_o believe_v the_o work_n that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o father_n be_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o vers_n 37.38_o these_o work_n which_o none_o can_v do_v but_o god_n himself_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n the_o man_n be_v the_o second_o part_n of_o god_n seal_n whereby_o god_n the_o father_n do_v let_v we_o see_v that_o this_o man_n jesus_n be_v he_o alone_o of_o who_o we_o all_o must_v look_v for_o life_n the_o three_o part_n of_o this_o seal_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v lay_v upon_o christ_n the_o man_n the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n that_o by_o his_o stripe_n we_o may_v be_v heal_v for_o by_o inflict_v upon_o he_o in_o his_o flesh_n all_o the_o punishment_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o we_o by_o our_o iniquity_n have_v deserve_v he_o thereby_o seal_v his_o manhood_n to_o be_v the_o food_n of_o life_n make_v he_o as_o a_o lamb_n roast_v with_o fire_n for_o our_o food_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n hebr._n the_o 5._o and_o the_o 9_o that_o he_o be_v consecrate_v be_v make_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n unto_o all_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o for_o when_o god_n do_v take_v vengeance_n upon_o christ_n his_o son_n for_o our_o iniquity_n he_o make_v he_o sin_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o by_o his_o cross_n kill_v hatred_n and_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a peace_n therefore_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v he_o alone_a that_o have_v undergo_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o we_o that_o be_v sinner_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n give_v none_o to_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n to_o our_o soul_n but_o he_o alone_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n to_o correct_v that_o great_a schism_n in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n when_o one_o say_v he_o be_v paul_n another_o apollo_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o force_v they_o all_o to_o acknowledge_v none_o but_o christ_n for_o their_o saviour_n he_o use_v this_o form_n of_o argument_n be_v paul_n crucify_v for_o you_o etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v none_o but_o he_o who_o be_v crucify_v for_o you_o be_v you_o to_o depend_v upon_o for_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o the_o same_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o same_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o corinth_n the_o first_o epist_n chapt_n 2._o say_v that_o he_o do_v determinate_a to_o know_v nothing_o among_o they_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v and_o again_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 6._o of_o gal_n vers_fw-la 14._o god_n for_o bid_v that_o i_o shall_v rejoice_v but_o in_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n the_o four_o part_n of_o this_o seal_n stand_v in_o this_o that_o god_n the_o father_n have_v raise_v christ_n jesus_n his_o son_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o have_v take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o grave_n and_o have_v set_v he_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n in_o heaven_n and_o crown_v he_o with_o glory_n and_o honour_n make_v he_o the_o head_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n give_v he_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o above_o all_o give_v he_o to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n thus_o set_v he_o in_o that_o flesh_n wherein_o he_o wrought_v our_o redemption_n and_o
eternal_a life_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n contain_v also_o a_o description_n of_o that_o for_o which_o we_o shall_v labour_v see_v then_o we_o see_v what_o great_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o seek_v this_o spiritual_a food_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o know_v where_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o next_o point_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n which_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v give_v unto_o you_o in_o these_o word_n let_v we_o mark_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o who_o it_o be_v of_o who_o we_o must_v have_v this_o meat_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o second_o be_v how_o we_o shall_v have_v it_o and_o that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n he_o shall_v give_v it_o unto_o us._n touch_v the_o first_o we_o be_v to_o mark_v that_o it_o please_v christ_n through_o out_o the_o scripture_n to_o name_v himself_o more_o by_o this_o name_n the_o son_n of_o man_n then_o by_o any_o other_o especial_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o save_a grace_n and_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o elect_a one_o it_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o of_o singular_a instruction_n for_o we_o that_o move_v christ_n to_o take_v this_o name_n upon_o himself_o and_o certain_o it_o be_v so_o although_o not_o perceive_v nor_o comprehend_v by_o every_o man_n in_o this_o same_o chapter_n when_o christ_n have_v tell_v the_o lew_n that_o unless_o they_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n they_o have_v no_o life_n in_o they_o many_o of_o his_o disciple_n murmur_v at_o it_o and_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n and_o in_o deed_n no_o marvel_n that_o it_o seem_v hard_a to_o a_o natural_a man_n for_o how_o can_v he_o think_v that_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o virtue_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o they_o but_o christ_n open_v this_o mystery_n in_o the_o same_o place_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n prosit_v nothing_o for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o though_o without_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n we_o can_v have_v no_o life_n in_o we_o yet_o certain_o even_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n naked_o consider_v as_o flesh_n and_o blood_n or_o yet_o as_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n can_v never_o give_v life_n to_o they_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v it_o but_o as_o be_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o god_n in_o the_o which_o flesh_n all_o the_o fullnes_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o it_o give_v life_n to_o they_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v they_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o this_o flesh_n nor_o from_o this_o blood_n &_o therefore_o all_o though_o their_o can_v be_v no_o eternal_a life_n but_o from_o this_o eternal_a spirit_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o no_o save_a virtue_n of_o the_o deity_n nor_o life_n from_o the_o god_n head_n shall_v ever_o be_v communicate_v unto_o man_n but_o in_o &_o through_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o despise_v this_o flesh_n &_o blood_n nor_o the_o outward_a mean_n whereby_o our_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n in_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v seal_v unto_o we_o since_o without_o this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n to_o save_v we_o let_v we_o therefore_o lay_v up_o this_o mystery_n in_o our_o heart_n that_o as_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n can_v never_o quicken_v but_o by_o the_o spirit_n even_o so_o also_o the_o spirit_n shall_v never_o quicken_v but_o by_o the_o flesh_n there_o be_v yet_o more_o in_o this_o to_o be_v consider_v and_o that_o be_v that_o as_o god_n will_v dispense_v no_o save_v grace_n but_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o man_n so_o he_o will_v not_o dispense_v it_o but_o by_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n for_o god_n have_v give_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n not_o as_o he_o be_v god_n simple_o but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o by_o he_o as_o he_o be_v man_n will_v he_o judge_v the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 17._o of_o act._n god_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v jesus_n christ_n as_o man_n shall_v judge_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o the_o father_n have_v exalt_v he_o in_o his_o man_n hood_n and_o have_v give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n unto_o which_o all_o knee_n must_v bow_n and_o every_o mouth_n confess_v he_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o david_n consider_v this_o wonder_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 8._o psal_n say_v what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v mindful_a of_o he_o and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o visite_a he_o for_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o a_o littel_v lower_n then_o the_o angel_n and_o have_v crown_v he_o with_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v this_o that_o as_o christ_n himself_o say_v all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o over_o all_o flesh_n the_o power_n of_o rule_v and_o of_o judge_v of_o save_v &_o damn_v man_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n as_o man_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v not_o subdue_v unto_o christ_n the_o man_n as_o the_o apostle_n prove_v in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 15._o from_o these_o word_n of_o the_o psalm_n that_o god_n have_v subdue_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n prove_v thereby_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o nothing_o be_v unsubdued_a to_o he_o but_o he_o that_o do_v subdue_v they_o until_o that_o the_o last_o enemy_n death_n itself_o be_v subdue_v christ_n shall_v still_o possess_v the_o kingdom_n but_o when_o he_o have_v subdue_v all_o thing_n then_o shall_v he_o render_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o his_o father_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n till_o this_o be_v do_v all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n as_o man_n to_o destroy_v all_o adversary_n power_n either_o devil_n or_o wicked_a man_n thus_o have_v god_n honour_v &_o high_o exalt_v the_o humanity_n of_o

touch_v the_o wicked_a when_o they_o must_v see_v &_o know_v this_o that_o the_o man_n who_o they_o have_v pierce_v and_o put_v to_o ●eath_n who_o they_o have_v so_o despise_v who_o blood_n they_o have_v tread_v under_o foot_n to_o be_v exalt_v to_o such_o glory_n and_o when_o they_o shall_v see_v he_o come_v in_o the_o ●louds_n in_o majesty_n and_o great_a power_n accompany_v with_o innumerable_a angel_n and_o hear_v he_o sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o judgement_n prononce_v the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a death_n against_o they_o for_o the_o godly_a it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o singular_a joy_n to_o know_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v their_o judge_n and_o that_o in_o his_o human_a nature_n wherein_o in_o all_o thing_n he_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o they_o sin_n only_o except_v
