what_o he_o be_v it_o be_v a_o mighty_a argument_n to_o work_v the_o soul_n towards_o christ_n but_o you_o will_v say_v alas_o christ_n be_v so_o glorious_a how_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o he_o his_o glory_n be_v enough_o to_o overwhelm_v we_o when_o the_o angel_n do_v but_o appear_v in_o some_o glorious_a manner_n even_o some_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o holy_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v before_o they_o we_o can_v come_v to_o christ_n because_o of_o his_o glory_n therefore_o know_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o as_o he_o be_v so_o glorious_a in_o himself_o the_o lustre_n of_o heaven_n so_o he_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o himself_o he_o have_v clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o nature_n and_o he_o be_v so_o unite_a into_o a_o hypostatical_a union_n with_o we_o to_o be_v make_v the_o same_o person_n yea_o so_o to_o be_v the_o same_o person_n that_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n be_v to_o be_v of_o the_o person_n that_o he_o be_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v the_o same_o person_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v the_o great_a work_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v abundant_o great_a than_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o god_n to_o unite_v our_o nature_n so_o near_o unto_o his_o son_n this_o god_n have_v do_v so_o that_o christ_n that_o call_v you_o to_o come_v to_o he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n bless_v for_o ever_o equal_a with_o the_o father_n and_o full_a of_o glory_n but_o he_o be_v your_o kinsman_n he_o be_v your_o near_a kinsman_n that_o have_v take_v your_o flesh_n upon_o he_o now_o have_v you_o one_o that_o be_v near_o a_o kin_n to_o you_o that_o be_v advance_v to_o be_v the_o emperor_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o he_o shall_v call_v to_o you_o and_o say_v come_v to_o i_o will_v you_o not_o make_v towards_o he_o jesus_n christ_n have_v your_o nature_n in_o heaven_n with_o he_o and_o it_o be_v in_o a_o hypostatical_a union_n unite_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a in_o he_o as_o in_o col._n 2.9_o now_o it_o be_v he_o that_o call_v you_o to_o come_v to_o he_o certain_o there_o be_v great_a thing_n in_o he_o and_o to_o be_v have_v by_o he_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v more_o by_o and_o by_o now_o consider_v this_o one_o particular_a viz._n who_o christ_n be_v that_o call_v to_o come_v to_o he_o and_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o mighty_a strong_a argument_n to_o prevail_v with_o the_o soul_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n first_o in_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o man_n god_n man_n so_o unite_v hence_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n come_v to_o be_v take_v away_o so_o as_o poor_a wretched_a flesh_n may_v be_v able_a now_o to_o converse_v with_o god_n be_v veil_v with_o our_o own_o nature_n god_n be_v veil_v with_o flesh_n it_o be_v true_a if_o god_n in_o his_o own_o glory_n as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n shall_v call_v we_o to_o come_v to_o he_o we_o may_v be_v afraid_a lest_o we_o shall_v be_v overwhelm_v with_o his_o glory_n we_o can_v stand_v before_o he_o we_o can_v look_v so_o much_o as_o upon_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o sin_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o go_v to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v we_o able_a to_o go_v to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n no_o it_o will_v burn_v we_o up_o how_o can_v we_o be_v able_a to_o go_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n then_o now_o because_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o his_o glory_n be_v so_o great_a he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o provide_v such_o a_o way_n to_o take_v off_o the_o terror_n of_o his_o greatness_n though_o we_o be_v frail_a flesh_n yet_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v that_o which_o may_v encourage_v we_o to_o come_v to_o he_o for_o he_o have_v veil_v his_o glory_n with_o human_a nature_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v now_o through_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o and_o converse_v with_o the_o infinite_a glorious_a god_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n the_o great_a that_o god_n have_v take_v our_o flesh_n upon_o he_o and_o veil_v his_o glory_n with_o our_o flesh_n that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o terror_n take_v from_o we_o and_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o come_v to_o he_o here_o be_v one_o special_a end_n that_o christ_n be_v make_v man_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v deal_v with_o we_o in_o a_o more_o familiar_a way_n than_o otherwise_o he_o can_v second_o in_o that_o christ_n that_o be_v god-man_n in_o one_o person_n call_v we_o to_o come_v to_o he_o hence_o we_o have_v this_o meditation_n that_o certain_o the_o lord_n be_v infinite_o incline_v to_o do_v good_a unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n this_o be_v a_o mighty_a encouragement_n for_o all_o poor_a soul_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o when_o thou_o hear_v that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v make_v man_n in_o one_o person_n by_o that_o thou_o may_v gather_v this_o for_o thy_o encouragement_n that_o certain_o god_n be_v infinite_o incline_v to_o do_v good_a unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n god_n will_v never_o have_v wrought_v so_o strange_a a_o work_n as_o to_o unite_v our_o nature_n into_o one_o person_n with_o his_o son_n if_o he_o have_v not_o mean_v to_o do_v some_o infinite_a good_a unto_o mankind_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o most_o evident_a demonstration_n of_o it_o in_o unite_n man_v nature_n to_o his_o own_o son_n as_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o marry_v his_o son_n to_o one_o that_o be_v the_o near_a kinswoman_n you_o have_v you_o will_v by_o that_o gather_v such_o a_o argument_n as_o this_o and_o all_o your_o friend_n will_v conclude_v sure_o the_o king_n do_v intend_v much_o good_a to_o this_o family_n that_o he_o be_v strong_o incline_v to_o prefer_v this_o family_n so_o when_o god_n be_v please_v to_o marry_v his_o son_n to_o our_o flesh_n yea_o to_o take_v our_o nature_n into_o a_o near_a union_n with_o he_o than_o the_o wife_n be_v take_v into_o the_o husband_n we_o may_v gather_v this_o argument_n and_o conclude_v sure_o god_n do_v intend_v much_o good_a unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o come_v three_o from_o this_o consideration_n who_o christ_n be_v god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n we_o may_v gather_v this_o encouragement_n to_o come_v to_o he_o that_o the_o lord_n in_o unite_n the_o divine_a nature_n with_o the_o human_a in_o christ_n have_v do_v already_o a_o great_a work_n for_o the_o child_n of_o man_n than_o the_o save_n of_o their_o soul_n come_v to_o the_o save_n of_o thy_o soul_n be_v a_o difficult_a work_n thou_o think_v thus_o alas_o for_o i_o to_o come_v and_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n this_o be_v too_o great_a a_o thing_n too_o good_a to_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o ever_o such_o a_o poor_a sinner_n as_o i_o be_o shall_v be_v raise_v to_o the_o glory_n that_o i_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o word_n that_o god_n will_v raise_v his_o saint_n unto_o thou_o think_v that_o the_o salvation_n of_o thy_o soul_n be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o mighty_a a_o thing_n and_o therefore_o that_o perhaps_o do_v somewhat_o discourage_v thou_o in_o come_v but_o then_o when_o thou_o hear_v what_o christ_n be_v and_o how_o god_n have_v unite_v the_o divine_a and_o human_a nature_n together_o in_o one_o person_n from_o thence_o thou_o may_v gather_v this_o encouragement_n that_o god_n have_v do_v a_o great_a work_n than_o to_o save_v thy_o soul_n for_o so_o it_o be_v it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n for_o god_n to_o unite_v the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n together_o in_o one_o person_n than_o to_o save_v all_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o world_n as_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v thus_o oh_o come_v to_o i_o know_v what_o i_o be_o i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o be_v and_o i_o be_o likewise_o make_v man_n god_n the_o father_n have_v unite_v my_o divine_a nature_n to_o your_o flesh_n and_o in_o this_o he_o have_v do_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o save_n of_o your_o soul_n in_o this_o he_o have_v show_v what_o intention_n he_o have_v for_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n and_o in_o this_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o almighty_a be_v take_v away_o and_o therefore_o come_v to_o i_o that_o be_v the_o first_o argument_n come_v to_o christ_n arg._n ii_o second_o come_v to_o christ_n why_o for_o christ_n have_v come_v to_o you_o do_v you_o come_v to_o he_o for_o he_o have_v come_v to_o you_o that_o christ_n may_v come_v to_o you_o he_o have_v even_o come_v

holiness_n now_o for_o the_o last_o thing_n that_o i_o propound_v to_o exhort_v and_o draw_v believer_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o in_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o take_v away_o the_o many_o hindrance_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o sanctification_n and_o also_o give_v some_o encouragement_n to_o the_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o sanctification_n you_o see_v here_o be_v the_o way_n to_o get_v power_n over_o corruption_n and_o to_o get_v grace_n namely_o to_o come_v to_o christ_n yea_o say_v you_o if_o i_o know_v i_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v interest_n in_o christ_n then_o i_o can_v come_v to_o christ_n for_o power_n over_o my_o corruption_n and_o for_o grace_n but_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o he_o 1._o for_o answer_v to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o main_a stop_n and_o hindrance_n of_o faith_n know_v that_o if_o thou_o have_v but_o a_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o he_o for_o grace_n that_o be_v as_o good_a a_o sign_n of_o thy_o interest_n in_o christ_n as_o any_o sign_n thou_o have_v that_o be_v as_o good_a a_o sign_n of_o evidence_n of_o interest_n as_o any_o thou_o can_v expect_v 2._o you_o must_v come_v to_o he_o for_o grace_n and_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o interest_n before_o yet_o thy_o very_a come_n to_o he_o now_o for_o grace_n to_o help_v thou_o against_o corruption_n that_o very_a act_n of_o thou_o may_v give_v thou_o interest_n in_o christ_n what_o be_v it_o that_o unite_v thou_o to_o christ_n what_o be_v it_o that_o make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v it_o that_o give_v interest_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v but_o the_o come_n to_o he_o as_o you_o hear_v before_o in_o the_o point_n quest_n be_v you_o will_v say_v if_o i_o have_v a_o right_a to_o he_o if_o thou_o come_v now_o to_o christ_n to_o get_v power_n over_o thy_o corruption_n and_o to_o get_v grace_n i_o say_v though_o thou_o have_v no_o interest_n before_o this_o very_a act_n may_v give_v thou_o interest_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o discourage_v but_o come_v to_o christ_n 3._o will_v thou_o stay_v till_o thou_o do_v find_v power_n against_o thy_o corruption_n before_o thou_o will_v come_v to_o he_o than_o thou_o will_v never_o have_v power_n against_o thy_o corruption_n for_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o thy_o sanctification_n and_o then_o for_o encouragement_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o excellent_a encouragement_n for_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v unto_o christ_n first_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o near_a union_n that_o there_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o very_a humane_a nature_n that_o place_n in_o heb._n 2.11_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a scripture_n for_o our_o encouragement_n for_o both_o he_o that_o sanctify_v and_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o for_o which_o cause_n he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o call_v they_o brethren_n he_o that_o sanctify_v and_o those_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v christ_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o thou_o be_v christ_n have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n do_v dwell_v bodily_a in_o he_o so_o that_o thou_o may_v go_v with_o the_o more_o boldness_n he_o that_o be_v thy_o brother_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o be_v call_v thy_o brother_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o at_o such_o a_o infinite_a distance_n as_o thy_o judge_n but_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o thy_o brother_n as_o one_o with_o he_o he_o that_o sanctify_v and_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o thou_o and_o christ_n together_o be_v one_o body_n now_o what_o encouragement_n be_v here_o to_o expect_v sanctification_n from_o christ_n to_o overcome_v corruption_n because_o christ_n and_o you_o be_v make_v one_o body_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o so_o near_o unite_v and_o make_v one_o second_o consider_v that_o if_o christ_n do_v love_v thou_o so_o dear_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o thou_o sure_o he_o will_v never_o suffer_v thou_o to_o perish_v in_o thy_o corruption_n shall_v christ_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o poor_a soul_n and_o shall_v he_o suffer_v they_o to_o die_v under_o their_o corruption_n now_o if_o a_o many_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o a_o child_n and_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o see_v the_o child_n lie_v in_o the_o dirt_n ready_a to_o be_v stifle_v in_o the_o dirt_n can_v he_o go_v by_o and_o not_o regard_v the_o child_n this_o be_v our_o case_n christ_n have_v come_v and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o poor_a sinner_n but_o yet_o they_o see_v themselves_o ready_a to_o be_v stifle_v by_o their_o corruption_n and_o they_o cry_v to_o he_o for_o help_v sure_o christ_n will_v not_o pass_v by_o and_o let_v thou_o lie_v in_o thy_o filthiness_n to_o be_v stifle_v in_o thy_o corruption_n when_o thou_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o thou_o three_o another_o encouragement_n be_v this_o know_v that_o thy_o corruption_n be_v the_o burden_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o thy_o burden_n they_o be_v burden_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o burden_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v certain_o pity_v thou_o under_o they_o and_o will_v help_v thou_o four_o if_o christ_n have_v so_o much_o pity_n as_o to_o heal_v the_o body_n of_o poor_a creature_n here_o in_o this_o world_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o disease_v body_n that_o ever_o come_v to_o he_o but_o he_o heal_v they_o sure_o than_o christ_n will_v heal_v soul_n christ_n have_v more_o regard_n to_o immortal_a soul_n then_o to_o body_n five_o christ_n know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v tempt_v for_o christ_n have_v no_o corruption_n in_o he_o yet_o christ_n know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v tempt_v and_o christ_n know_v by_o his_o own_o experience_n what_o a_o burden_n it_o be_v to_o be_v tempt_v to_o sin_n and_o sure_o christ_n can_v but_o know_v what_o a_o burden_n it_o be_v to_o be_v overcome_v with_o sin_n now_o christ_n himself_o have_v the_o burden_n of_o be_v tempt_v unto_o sin_n and_o christ_n know_v that_o thy_o burden_n be_v great_a than_o his_o burden_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v overcome_v then_o to_o be_v tempt_v to_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o know_v how_o to_o pity_v thou_o six_o know_v it_o be_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n to_o help_v thou_o against_o thy_o corruption_n and_o quicken_v thou_o in_o grace_n christ_n account_v his_o resurrection_n and_o life_n to_o be_v honour_v when_o he_o see_v the_o virtue_n
