shoot_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o soul_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v brief_a this_o you_o must_v know_v whatsoever_o believer_n shall_v have_v suffer_v for_o their_o sin_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n or_o in_o the_o sensible_a feel_n of_o the_o wrath_n and_o divine_a displeasure_n of_o almighty_a god_n all_o that_o christ_n suffer_v so_o far_o as_o can_v be_v suffer_v without_o sin_n and_o without_o the_o guilt_n of_o a_o defile_a conscience_n now_o to_o all_o this_o do_v christ_n give_v up_o himself_o for_o believer_n to_o the_o end_n that_o believer_n who_o have_v lose_v the_o love_n of_o god_n may_v have_v it_o christ_n give_v up_o himself_o in_o regard_n of_o sense_n for_o a_o while_n to_o lose_v all_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o end_n that_o believer_n may_v not_o feel_v the_o insupportable_a burden_n of_o the_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n christ_n take_v it_o upon_o he_o and_o endure_v it_o and_o all_o this_o christ_n do_v willing_o and_o free_o and_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n therefore_o the_o phrase_n in_o the_o text_n be_v emphatical_a who_o give_v himself_o and_o christ_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n believer_n do_v with_o full_a consent_n sin_n christ_n must_v with_o full_a consent_n suffer_v or_o else_o christ_n can_v not_o deliver_v believer_n from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n this_o appear_v because_o that_o christ_n when_o he_o know_v that_o judas_n shall_v betray_v he_o he_o go_v to_o that_o place_n where_o he_o be_v wont_a and_o know_v that_o judas_n will_v come_v there_o after_o that_o judas_n and_o the_o soldier_n come_v out_o of_o seek_v christ_n christ_n come_v and_o offer_v himself_o who_o be_v it_o that_o you_o seek_v say_v he_o we_o seek_v jesus_n of_o nazareth_n i_o be_o he_o say_v he_o he_o offer_v and_o declare_v himself_o to_o they_o put_v himself_o into_o their_o hand_n and_o whereas_o he_o make_v they_o to_o let_v all_o his_o disciple_n escape_v yet_o he_o suffer_v they_o to_o take_v himself_o can_v christ_n make_v they_o let_v the_o disciple_n go_v and_o can_v he_o not_o have_v make_v they_o let_v himself_o go_v again_o our_o saviour_n do_v but_o speak_v and_o they_o go_v backward_o and_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n he_o that_o can_v throw_v they_o down_o backward_o can_v be_v not_o have_v kill_v they_o with_o his_o word_n if_o he_o please_v again_o when_o peter_n draw_v out_o his_o sword_n and_o go_v about_o to_o defend_v he_o peter_n say_v he_o put_v up_o thy_o sword_n i_o can_v pray_v to_o my_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v present_o give_v i_o more_o than_o twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n one_o angel_n in_o one_o night_n slay_v in_o the_o camp_n of_o the_o assyrian_n a_o hundred_o fourscore_o and_o five_o thousand_o man_n and_o what_o then_o can_v twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n have_v do_v this_o christ_n can_v have_v have_v for_o a_o word_n speak_v to_o his_o father_n but_o he_o do_v free_o and_o willing_o give_v up_o himself_o to_o all_o these_o torment_n for_o believer_n and_o he_o do_v not_o only_o suffer_v they_o as_o a_o man_n but_o as_o a_o god_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o his_o obedience_n so_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o his_o passion_n you_o must_v not_o sever_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n from_o his_o humanity_n for_o howsoever_o the_o godhead_n can_v not_o suffer_v yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o godhead_n do_v these_o thing_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n that_o suffer_v whatsoever_o a_o man_n do_v with_o any_o part_n of_o himself_o though_o it_o be_v with_o his_o body_n the_o whole_a man_n be_v say_v to_o do_v it_o because_o all_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o person_n it_o be_v that_o nature_n that_o subsist_v in_o the_o divine_a person_n that_o endure_v all_o these_o thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n shed_v his_o blood_n again_o the_o godhead_n do_v withdraw_v itself_o and_o so_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n the_o godhead_n do_v withdraw_v itself_o from_o the_o revelation_n and_o manifestation_n of_o itself_o to_o christ_n again_o the_o godhead_n do_v suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v eclipse_v to_o be_v veil_v to_o be_v obscure_v and_o so_o may_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o suffering_n again_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n do_v support_v the_o humane_a nature_n to_o bear_v the_o other_o way_n insupportable_a wrath_n of_o god_n but_o in_o all_o these_o respect_v the_o lord_n christ_n as_o god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n give_v up_o himself_o to_o this_o for_o believer_n hence_o be_v that_o emphatical_a speech_n zach._n 13.7_o awake_v o_o sword_n against_o my_o shepherd_n and_o against_o the_o man_n that_o be_v my_o fellow_n observe_v that_o speech_n awake_v o_o sword_n here_o god_n speak_v to_o his_o wrath_n to_o his_o divine_a vengeance_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o man_n that_o be_v his_o fellow_n christ_n as_o god_n fellow_n do_v suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n now_o christ_n be_v not_o god_n fellow_n but_o as_o christ_n be_v god_n christ_n as_o god_n fellow_n suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n therefore_o christ_n as_o god_n give_v himself_o up_o even_o to_o suffer_v for_o believer_n and_o observe_v the_o phrase_n awake_v o_o sword_n against_o the_o man_n that_o be_v my_o fellow_n the_o very_a justice_n of_o god_n can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o lay_v stroke_n upon_o this_o son_n of_o god_n till_o god_n bid_v it_o it_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v in_o amazement_n for_o to_o strike_v the_o man_n that_o be_v god_n own_o fellow_n what_o for_o god_n to_o strike_v his_o fellow_n that_o man_n that_o be_v god_n how_o can_v justice_n do_v this_o nay_o justice_n can_v not_o till_o god_n bid_v it_o awake_v o_o sword_n thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o doctrine_n open_v to_o you_o what_o the_o thing_n be_v to_o which_o the_o lord_n christ_n free_o dispose_v and_o bequeathe_v himself_o for_o believer_n to_o incarnation_n he_o that_o be_v god_n become_v man_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n he_o that_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n become_v the_o law-keeper_n to_o suffer_v both_o in_o body_n and_o in_o soul_n both_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o now_o as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o the_o point_n and_o so_o to_o pass_v on_o to_o somewhat_o else_o first_o of_o all_o this_o doctrine_n serve_v to_o show_v we_o the_o wonderful_a love_n of_o christ_n to_o believer_n can_v there_o be_v great_a love_n than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o give_v himself_o to_o one_o we_o count_v it_o the_o great_a love_n that_o can_v be_v between_o creature_n that_o of_o the_o man_n to_o the_o wife_n and_o the_o wife_n to_o the_o man_n and_o why_o so_o because_o there_o be_v a_o give_v themselves_o one_o to_o another_o which_o no_o creature_n else_o do_v this_o christ_n have_v do_v he_o have_v give_v himself_o to_o believer_n and_o he_o can_v show_v great_a love_n because_o he_o can_v do_v a_o great_a thing_n and_o yet_o behold_v a_o great_a than_o this_o he_o have_v not_o only_o give_v himself_o to_o they_o but_o for_o they_o and_o that_o be_v a_o little_a more_o you_o may_v conceive_v it_o by_o a_o similitude_n if_o a_o man_n give_v himself_o to_o a_o woman_n to_o become_v her_o husband_n there_o be_v a_o greatmatter_n in_o that_o but_o if_o the_o man_n shall_v give_v himself_o for_o the_o woman_n when_o she_o be_v to_o die_v to_o die_v for_o she_o that_o be_v more_o he_o that_o give_v himself_o to_o she_o do_v yet_o enjoy_v himself_o but_o he_o that_o give_v himself_o for_o she_o do_v lose_v himself_o he_o that_o give_v himself_o to_o man_n have_v himself_o but_o he_o that_o give_v himself_o for_o man_n have_v give_v away_o himself_o oh_o this_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o all_o believer_n he_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o he_o that_o be_v god_n make_v himself_o of_o no_o reputation_n make_v himself_o nothing_o for_o so_o the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o original_a he_o that_o be_v above_o the_o law_n he_o have_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o law_n he_o that_o be_v a_o sovereign_n be_v become_v a_o subject_a he_o that_o be_v the_o god_n of_o life_n be_v become_v a_o man_n under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n he_o that_o be_v the_o judge_n stand_v as_o the_o person_n guilty_a and_o suffer_v the_o judgement_n here_o be_v his_o love_n you_o that_o be_v believer_n to_o the_o end_n that_o you_o may_v enjoy_v god_n favour_n he_o have_v give_v himself_o to_o lose_v god_n favour_n for_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o you_o may_v never_o go_v to_o hell_n he_o have_v suffer_v himself_o to_o endure_v the_o uttermost_a

be_v that_o do_v this_o and_o live_v do_v it_o the_o law_n it_o do_v not_o accept_v of_o endeavour_n and_o of_o desire_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o stand_v with_o the_o law_n but_o a_o perfect_a

to_o do_v they_o here_o be_v the_o first_o direct_a property_n of_o the_o law_n it_o accept_v of_o nothing_o but_o perfect_a obedience_n it_o pardon_v no_o fail_n it_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o

of_o the_o law_n be_v this_o that_o it_o give_v commandment_n but_o it_o give_v no_o power_n at_o all_o to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n it_o set_v we_o a_o rule_n but_o it_o help_v with_o no_o

law_n be_v call_v the_o letter_n because_o as_o the_o write_n of_o letter_n do_v direct_v we_o and_o show_v we_o a_o copy_n but_o administer_v no_o kind_n of_o art_n or_o skill_n to_o the_o scholar_n to_o follow_v the_o copy_n so_o this_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o law_n it_o prescribe_v a_o rule_n but_o administer_v no_o ability_n to_o walk_v by_o the_o rule_n these_o be_v the_o two_o direct_a property_n of_o the_o law_n now_o in_o respect_n of_o these_o two_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n before_o his_o fall_n he_o be_v well_o enough_o ay_o it_o be_v true_a the_o law_n will_v pardon_v no_o fayling_n will_v accept_v of_o no_o imperfect_a obedience_n but_o man_n in_o that_o estate_n need_v not_o to_o care_v for_o he_o have_v power_n to_o

creation_n to_o obey_v the_o law_n to_o write_v exact_o after_o that_o copy_n but_o since_o man_n be_v come_v into_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n the_o law_n have_v by_o accident_n and_o by_o occasion_n of_o man_n fall_n two_o other_o property_n first_o of_o all_o that_o the_o law_n do_v curse_v every_o man_n that_o be_v under_o it_o even_o unto_o hell_n this_o be_v that_o in_o the_o forename_a place_n gal._n 3.13_o as_o many_o as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n be_v curse_v for_o curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o do_v not_o all_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o law_n do_v inflict_v damnation_n upon_o all_o they_o that_o be_v under_o it_o hence_o be_v these_o name_n give_v to_o the_o law_n 2_o cor._n 3.6_o 7_o 9_o in_o the_o 6._o verse_n the_o letter_n kill_v that_o be_v the_o law_n kill_v we_o in_o the_o 7._o verse_n it_o be_v call_v the_o ministration_n of_o death_n in_o the_o 9_o verse_n it_o be_v call_v the_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n all_o these_o name_n be_v give_v to_o the_o law_n because_o through_o man_n fall_n there_o be_v occasion_v a_o property_n to_o the_o law_n to_o kill_v and_o to_o destroy_v and_o to_o condemn_v again_o another_o property_n that_o be_v occasion_v to_o the_o law_n by_o sin_n and_o by_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n be_v this_o that_o the_o law_n do_v multiply_v transgression_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o people_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n therefore_o i_o pray_v observe_v the_o open_n of_o it_o i_o say_v the_o property_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v that_o it_o do_v multiply_v transgression_n and_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n for_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 5.10_o the_o law_n enter_v that_o sin_n may_v abound_v the_o law_n do_v cause_v the_o abound_a of_o sin_n there_o have_v never_o be_v so_o much_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v by_o the_o law_n not_o direct_o but_o by_o occasion_n do_v the_o law_n multiply_v transgression_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n the_o apostle_n in_o rom._n 7.4_o 5._o compare_v the_o law_n to_o a_o husband_n the_o sinful_a heart_n to_o a_o wife_n that_o look_v as_o by_o the_o husband_n the_o wife_n come_v to_o bring_v forth_o child_n so_o by_o the_o law_n man_n corrupt_a heart_n come_v to_o bring_v forth_o sin_n if_o you_o ask_v how_o this_o come_v about_o it_o be_v thus_o the_o law_n it_o come_v with_o commandment_n and_o with_o prohibition_n it_o command_v people_n to_o do_v these_o and_o these_o thing_n it_o command_v people_n to_o leave_v undo_v these_o and_o these_o thing_n now_o the_o law_n meet_v with_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n heart_n set_v a_o rule_n to_o that_o heart_n that_o will_v not_o be_v rule_v it_o make_v the_o heart_n to_o rebel_v and_o transgress_v if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o will_v be_v no_o sin_n if_o the_o law_n do_v not_o command_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o not_o do_v if_o the_o law_n do_v not_o forbid_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o do_v but_o now_o the_o law_n come_v to_o the_o corrupt_a heart_n bid_v they_o do_v corruption_n refuse_v to_o do_v the_o law_n cause_v corruption_n to_o sin_n the_o law_n again_o come_v to_o a_o corrupt_a heart_n and_o bid_v they_o refrain_v corruption_n refuse_v cause_v corruption_n to_o sin_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o rule_n there_o can_v be_v no_o err_v beside_o the_o rule_n thus_o in_o these_o respect_v it_o be_v that_o by_o occasion_n the_o law_n come_v to_o have_v this_o property_n to_o be_v as_o a_o father_n and_o as_o a_o husband_n multiply_v transgression_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n gather_v up_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v and_o lay_v they_o together_o the_o two_o direct_a
