the_o estate_n of_o christ_n be_v twofolde_v the_o estate_n of_o humiliation_n from_o his_o birth_n to_o his_o death_n and_o the_o estate_n of_o exaltation_n in_o his_o resurrection_n ascension_n

that_o christ_n be_v our_o gain_n be_v manifold_a first_o it_o show_v that_o we_o in_o ourselves_o be_v poor_a and_o altogether_o destitute_a of_o all_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n for_o to_o this_o

man_n and_o angel_n and_o all_o thing_n be_v but_o as_o nothing_o to_o we_o if_o by_o they_o we_o seek_v to_o enjoy_v any_o thing_n out_o to_o christ_n yea_o god_n be_v no_o god_n to_o we_o without_o

the_o merit_n of_o martyr_n and_o saint_n they_o bring_v no_o advantage_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o be_v indeed_o matter_n for_o the_o dounghill_n four_o if_o christ_n be_v our_o treasure_n

in_o his_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n 16_o the_o first_o be_v the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o these_o word_n god_n make_v manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n and_o here_o two_o wonder_n

the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v unto_o he_o man_n nature_n and_o flesh_n without_o man_n sin_n because_o he_o be_v conceive_v of_o a_o virgin_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereas_o if_o he_o have_v be_v conceive_v by_o natural_a generation_n he_o have_v with_o adam_n flesh_n take_v adam_n corruption_n the_o other_o wonder_n in_o the_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o thence_o have_v his_o subsistence_n otherwise_o have_v no_o subsistence_n of_o his_o own_o the_o like_a

of_o christ_n be_v the_o justification_n of_o christ_n in_o these_o word_n justify_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v on_o this_o manner_n christ_n make_v man_n become_v our_o surety_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n for_o us._n hereupon_o our_o sin_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o and_o the_o punishment_n due_a thereto_o lay_v upon_o he_o that_o be_v the_o first_o death_n with_o the_o pain_n

heart_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o this_o we_o further_o see_v that_o distance_n of_o place_n hinder_v not_o this_o union_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a may_v dwell_v both_o in_o christ_n and_o we_o &_o our_o faith_n though_o it_o be_v seat_v within_o our_o heart_n yet_o can_v it_o reach_v forth_o itself_o and_o apprehend_v christ_n in_o heaven_n the_o second_o desire_n of_o paul_n be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v of_o god_n to_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v that_o god_n will_v respect_v he_o as_o a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o accept_v he_o into_o his_o favour_n eternal_o for_o christ._n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o the_o order_n that_o god_n use_v in_o show_v his_o love_n must_v be_v observe_v first_o of_o all_o he_o begin_v his_o love_n in_o christ_n who_o he_o love_v simple_o for_o himself_o then_o from_o christ_n he_o descend_v to_o they_o that_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n consider_v they_o even_o as_o part_n of_o christ_n who_o also_o he_o love_v yet_o not_o simple_o but_o respective_o in_o and_o for_o christ._n he_o that_o look_v upon_o thing_n of_o diverse_a kind_n through_o a_o green_a glass_n behold_v they_o all_o to_o be_v

which_o paul_n desire_v that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n he_o may_v be_v thus_o respect_v hence_o we_o learn_v that_o god_n will_v make_v a_o examination_n of_o all_o our_o heart_n life_n and_o work_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o this_o find_v which_o paul_n mention_v presuppose_v that_o god_n see_v and_o observe_v our_o way_n and_o will_v one_o day_n certain_o discover_v they_o know_v even_o now_o certain_o whether_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n or_o no._n for_o this_o cause_n we_o be_v to_o call_v ourselves_o to_o a_o account_n yea_o to_o a_o strait_a account_n for_o
