soul_n be_v pull_v and_o move_v to_o and_o fro_o either_o unto_o good_a or_o unto_o bad_a action_n here_o be_v love_n strong_a love_n strong_a as_o death_n and_o affection_n that_o will_v move_v we_o if_o not_o here_o be_v fear_n of_o jealousy_n that_o grow_v cruel_a jealousy_n cruel_a as_o the_o grave_n if_o love_n will_v move_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v knit_v unto_o christ_n that_o way_n if_o not_o if_o fear_n will_v move_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v draw_v unto_o christ_n that_o way_n and_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o single_a will_v move_v we_o if_o both_o together_o will_v move_v we_o here_o be_v fear_n that_o grow_v out_o of_o love_n &_o ground_v upon_o love_n love_n be_v strong_a as_o death_n but_o if_o abuse_a she_o grow_v jealous_a and_o that_o jealousy_n grow_v cruel_a but_o if_o neither_o love_n nor_o fear_n nor_o both_o these_o graft_v together_o will_v draw_v we_o then_o be_v our_o case_n most_o desperate_a &_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o the_o text_n &_o the_o branch_n whereof_o you_o have_v hear_v in_o my_o text_n set_v i_o as_o a_o seal_n on_o thy_o heart_n and_o as_o a_o signet_n upon_o thy_o arm_n that_o be_v the_o petition_n of_o the_o church_n or_o the_o evidence_n of_o christ_n his_o two_o metaphor_n which_o do_v most_o lively_o express_v and_o set_v forth_o unto_o us._n the_o near_a conjunction_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n in_o the_o 22._o of_o jeremie_n the_o 24._o verse_n as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n though_o coniah_n the_o son_n of_o jehoiakim_n king_n of_o judah_n be_v the_o signet_n of_o my_o right_a arm_n that_o be_v as_o near_o to_o i_o as_o near_o possible_o can_v be_v yet_o i_o will_v cast_v he_o off_o the_o personal_a union_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n unto_o our_o nature_n it_o be_v the_o first_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n for_o without_o controversy_n great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n the_o 1._o of_o tim._n the_o 3._o chap._n the_o last_o vers_fw-la god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n yet_o notwithstanding_o you_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o this_o union_n whereof_o solomon_n do_v here_o speak_v it_o be_v above_o that_o and_o a_o near_a union_n and_o conjunction_n unto_o we_o in_o two_o respect_n first_o that_o hypostatical_a union_n it_o be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o god_n and_o man_n nature_n in_o general_a but_o this_o come_v near_a &_o do_v incorporate_v our_o particular_a person_n into_o one_o body_n with_o christ_n howsoever_o the_o other_o in_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v great_a between_o the_o thing_n themselves_o unite_v yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o be_v unto_o we_o more_o comfortable_a because_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o particular_a application_n to_o every_o one_o that_o we_o may_v say_v and_o pray_v with_o david_n in_o the_o 35._o psalm_n the_o 3._o verse_n say_v unto_o my_o soul_n i_o be_o thy_o salvation_n not_o only_o unto_o all_o in_o general_n but_o unto_o thy_o soul_n and_o my_o soul_n in_o particular_a which_o be_v more_o comfortable_a therefore_o god_n he_o have_v for_o this_o purpose_n not_o only_o ordain_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o public_a to_o declare_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o mankind_n in_o general_a but_o he_o have_v also_o institute_v sacrament_n which_o be_v minister_v unto_o every_o one_o person_n in_o particular_a that_o as_o god_n love_n be_v unto_o all_o so_o he_o confirm_v the_o same_o love_n to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o same_o second_o this_o conjunction_n which_o this_o metaphor_n express_v it_o exceed_v the_o other_o in_o this_o that_o though_o christ_n do_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o our_o nature_n with_o all_o humane_a infirmity_n yet_o he_o do_v take_v it_o clean_o void_a of_o all_o sin_n but_o in_o this_o mystical_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o member_n though_o we_o be_v full_a of_o sin_n and_o infirmity_n as_o well_o in_o soul_n as_o body_n yet_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o knit_v we_o unto_o himself_o as_o be_v one_o body_n jesus_n christ_n tie_v we_o as_o in_o a_o unseparable_a knot_n which_o unity_n be_v most_o comfortable_o in_o the_o scripture_n set_v forth_o by_o two_o metaphor_n both_o which_o come_v short_a of_o these_o meraphor_n in_o my_o text_n it_o be_v express_v by_o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n and_o by_o man_n and_o wife_n but_o nero_n or_o some_o tyrant_n may_v chap_v the_o head_n from_o the_o member_n and_o death_n do_v make_v a_o separation_n between_o man_n and_o wife_n but_o of_o this_o union_n say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n i_o be_o persuade_v neither_o death_n nor_o life_n principality_n nor_o power_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o 8._o of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o bomanes_n the_o 28._o also_o we_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a unto_o they_o that_o love_n god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o be_v call_v of_o his_o purpose_n but_o the_o two_o metaphor_n of_o my_o text_n be_v more_o emphatical_a for_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n it_o be_v the_o first_o that_o live_v and_o the_o last_o that_o die_v and_o the_o arm_n be_v the_o instrument_n of_o power_n if_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o as_o a_o seal_n upon_o his_o heart_n and_o as_o a_o signet_n upon_o his_o arm_n let_v we_o see_v what_o principality_n or_o power_n what_o life_n or_o death_n be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o we_o except_o he_o can_v be_v overcome_v who_o be_v omnipotent_a god_n himself_o this_o signet_n shall_v never_o be_v pluck_v from_o his_o arm_n and_o unless_o he_o can_v die_v again_o who_o be_v life_n itself_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n this_o seal_n which_o be_v imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n shall_v never_o be_v blot_v out_o this_o admirable_a conjunction_n between_o christ_n and_o we_o it_o be_v here_o declare_v in_o this_o place_n and_o propound_v by_o way_n of_o a_o petition_n whereof_o we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o make_v a_o position_n and_o say_v indeed_o that_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o as_o a_o seal_n upon_o his_o heart_n and_o that_o he_o have_v wear_v we_o as_o a_o signet_n upon_o his_o arm_n for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o wish_n the_o prayer_n &_o desire_n of_o the_o church_n in_o salomon_n time_n when_o this_o song_n be_v sing_v that_o be_v now_o enjoy_v by_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n their_o wish_n be_v our_o article_n their_o prayer_n our_o creed_n we_o do_v believe_v it_o because_o christ_n have_v manifest_v it_o since_o the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v take_v unto_o he_o a_o heart_n and_o a_o arm_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o humane_a soul_n within_o and_o a_o natural_a body_n without_o he_o have_v in_o that_o soul_n and_o body_n full_o grant_v the_o petition_n to_o the_o church_n and_o set_v we_o as_o a_o seal_n upon_o his_o heart_n for_o be_v not_o we_o deep_o imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n when_o he_o suffer_v his_o hart_n to_o be_v divide_v by_o the_o point_n of_o the_o spear_n when_o he_o shed_v out_o water_n &_o his_o heart_n blood_n in_o love_n unto_o we_o when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n forsake_v of_o his_o own_o father_n rather_o than_o his_o father_n shall_v forsake_v us._n that_o evangelicall_a prophet_n isaiah_n in_o the_o 49._o cha_n ver_fw-la 16._o say_v in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n unto_o zion_n i_o have_v engrave_v thou_o in_o the_o palm_n of_o my_o hand_n be_v we_o not_o deep_o engrave_v in_o the_o palm_n of_o christ_n hand_n when_o he_o suffer_v both_o hand_n and_o foot_n to_o be_v pierce_v upon_o the_o
