son_n in_o reference_n to_o mankind_n before_o the_o world_n be_v the_o covenant_n now_o be_v between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o father_n require_v in_o this_o covenant_n satisfaction_n to_o infinite_a divine_a justice_n christ_n he_o yield_v to_o this_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n christ_n he_o actual_o come_v to_o be_v the_o way_n of_o conveyance_n by_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o so_o make_v we_o reconcilable_a to_o god_n by_o take_v humane_a nature_n into_o such_o a_o near_a union_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o the_o second_o

which_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v two_o great_a mystery_n in_o the_o gospel_n the_o one_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n the_o other_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n and_o this_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o our_o nature_n with_o christ_n so_o that_o christ_n take_v man_n nature_n into_o such_o a_o near_a union_n to_o himself_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a preparative_n for_o god_n to_o have_v thought_n of_o peace_n towards_o humane_a nature_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o angel_n and_o it_o be_v one_o part_n of_o his_o humility_n and_o therefore_o have_v a_o meritorious_a efficiency_n in_o this_o work_n of_o reconcile_a god_n to_o man_n but_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a therefore_o in_o the_o three_o place_n christ_n be_v content_a now_o to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o be_v make_v the_o head_n of_o a_o second_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o mankind_n to_o perform_v what_o ever_o god_n the_o father_n shall_v require_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o divine_a justice_n so_o that_o look_v as_o adam_n by_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o convey_v all_o evil_a to_o we_o so_o christ_n by_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o convey_v all_o good_a to_o we_o by_o his_o subject_n to_o this_o we_o come_v to_o receive_v all_o grace_n and_o mercy_n from_o god_n and_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v otherwise_o for_o though_o god_n will_v have_v think_v of_o a_o second_o covenant_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v leave_v it_o to_o we_o to_o have_v perform_v the_o term_n of_o it_o we_o shall_v assoon_o have_v break_v that_o as_o we_o do_v the_o first_o but_o christ_n undertake_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n and_o perform_v whatever_o the_o father_n require_v in_o it_o by_o his_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n divine_a justice_n have_v nothing_o to_o lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o those_o that_o christ_n undertake_v to_o satisfy_v for_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a way_n of_o god_n let_v out_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o his_o mercy_n it_o be_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o cry_n of_o divine_a justice_n but_o now_o christ_n undertake_v to_o undergo_v that_o curse_n and_o to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n god_n have_v as_o much_o honour_n now_o by_o his_o suffering_n as_o he_o have_v dishonour_n by_o man_n sin_v so_o that_o man_n sin_n be_v make_v up_o in_o this_o and_o that_o be_v it_o justice_n require_v i_o have_v have_v dishonour_n by_o sin_n say_v justice_n i_o must_v have_v this_o dishonour_n make_v up_o by_o suffering_n and_o so_o much_o suffer_v as_o in_o which_o i_o must_v have_v as_o much_o honour_n as_o i_o have_v before_o dishonour_n in_o sin_v these_o be_v the_o condition_n upon_o which_o god_n will_v be_v reconcile_v to_o man_n and_o upon_o no_o other_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v this_o and_o herein_o you_o will_v see_v a_o infinite_a necessity_n of_o christ_n god_n be_v with_o we_o upon_o these_o term_n say_v god_n you_o have_v sin_v against_o i_o and_o dishonour_v i_o how_o do_v you_o think_v to_o be_v deliver_v why_o lord_n thou_o be_v merciful_a i_o say_v god_n but_o i_o be_o resolve_v upon_o this_o i_o will_v have_v as_o much_o honour_n by_o suffer_v as_o i_o have_v dishonour_n by_o sin_v and_o lord_n what_o will_v have_v become_v of_o we_o if_o we_o have_v be_v leave_v to_o make_v up_o this_o breach_n this_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n why_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n be_v there_o eternal_o because_o they_o be_v there_o upon_o these_o term_n say_v god_n i_o be_o infinite_a and_o i_o be_o dishonour_v and_o there_o they_o must_v lie_v till_o i_o have_v as_o much_o honour_n by_o their_o suffering_n as_o i_o have_v dishonour_n by_o their_o sin_v now_o after_o they_o have_v be_v there_o thousand_o of_o thousand_o of_o year_n still_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n call_v for_o more_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v lie_v there_o for_o ever_o but_o now_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o great_a saviour_n he_o come_v and_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o fulfil_v that_o covenant_n he_o lay_v down_o god_n such_o a_o price_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v as_o much_o honour_n in_o his_o suffering_n for_o sin_n as_o he_o have_v dishonour_v before_o in_o the_o commit_n of_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v do_v the_o current_n of_o mercy_n be_v unstop_v and_o the_o passage_n of_o it_o open_v and_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o himself_o what_o a_o glorious_a way_n be_v make_v for_o the_o stream_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o issue_n and_o flow_v forth_o to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o take_v in_o this_o one_o particular_a more_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v with_o this_o head_n in_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n in_o forgive_a of_o sin_n and_o show_v mercy_n to_o sinful_a creature_n be_v just_a and_o go_v in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n therefore_o that_o text_n rom._n 3._o 25._o 26._o be_v very_o observable_a a_o text_n that_o luther_n for_o a_o while_o be_v exceed_o trouble_v about_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v past_a through_o the_o forbearance_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v i_o say_v at_o this_o time_n his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_a and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n this_o be_v that_o which_o trouble_v luther_n so_o much_o that_o god_n shall_v declare_v his_o righteousness_n in_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o god_n declare_v his_o mercy_n every_o one_o know_v but_o that_o god_n declare_v his_o righteousness_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v set_v to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n that_o god_n may_v declare_v his_o righteousness_n this_o may_v seem_v strange_a and_o then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n repeat_v it_o to_o declare_v i_o say_v his_o righteousness_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v consider_v that_o god_n in_o the_o pardon_v of_o sin_n do_v not_o only_o manifest_v his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n but_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_a and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n not_o merciful_a but_o just_a thus_o we_o see_v what_o way_n christ_n take_v to_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o convey_v god_n goodness_n to_o we_o by_o perform_v the_o covenant_n and_o so_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n last_o he_o be_v the_o way_n of_o convey_v good_a to_o we_o as_o by_o his_o satisfaction_n so_o by_o his_o intercession_n for_o he_o be_v now_o and_o shall_v for_o ever_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n in_o glory_n make_v intercession_n for_o his_o people_n that_o be_v continual_o present_v before_o his_o father_n the_o work_n of_o his_o mediation_n his_o merit_n what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v and_o as_o it_o be_v plead_v with_o his_o father_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o all_o needful_a mercy_n and_o good_a unto_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o his_o people_n who_o he_o have_v redeem_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v every_o moment_n eternal_o speak_v thus_o to_o the_o father_n father_n behold_v here_o be_v my_o blood_n my_o merit_n my_o death_n all_o my_o suffering_n the_o work_n of_o my_o humiliation_n it_o be_v for_o these_o yea_o for_o this_o poor_a soul_n and_o for_o that_o poor_a soul_n particular_o for_o know_v that_o christ_n think_v not_o only_o of_o the_o lump_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o general_a but_o particular_o of_o every_o believer_n and_o be_v continual_o present_v before_o the_o

evil_a whatever_o good_a he_o be_v possess_v of_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n a_o believer_n can_v look_v upon_o every_o bit_n of_o meat_n he_o have_v and_o upon_o all_o the_o good_a he_o enjoy_v and_o see_v it_o all_o come_v stream_v to_o he_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o come_v abundant_o the_o sweet_a as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o sun_n when_o it_o shine_v through_o the_o air_n it_o be_v not_o so_o warm_a as_o when_o it_o shine_v through_o a_o burning-glasse_n take_v a_o burning-glasse_n and_o hold_v it_o between_o you_o and_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o glass_n will_v contract_v the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v have_v a_o efficacy_n of_o heat_n even_o to_o burn_v again_o so_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o come_v to_o people_n through_o the_o general_a bounty_n and_o patience_n of_o god_n have_v not_o such_o a_o efficacy_n to_o warm_v and_o heat_v their_o heart_n and_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o god_n but_o now_o christ_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o burning-glasse_n that_o be_v hold_v between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o mercy_n come_v through_o this_o burning-glasse_n o_o how_o do_v it_o warm_a and_o

all_o in_o heaven_n to_o eternity_n but_o to_o give_v you_o one_o particular_a more_o as_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o good_a we_o have_v from_o god_n so_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o whatever_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n as_o in_o descent_n from_o god_n to_o we_o so_o in_o ascent_n from_o we_o to_o god_n christ_n must_v come_v in_o there_o he_o must_v be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o our_o service_n let_v our_o service_n be_v never_o so_o good_a yea_o though_o spiritual_a yet_o they_o must_v find_v aceptance_n with_o the_o father_n through_o christ_n that_o text_n be_v very_o remarkable_a for_o this_o 1_o pet._n 2._o 5._o you_o also_o as_o lively_a stone_n be_v build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a house_n a_o holy_a priesthood_n to_o offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n acceptable_a to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n mark_v to_o offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n ay_o but_o though_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o make_v it_o acceptable_a but_o christ_n he_o must_v come_v in_o therefore_o he_o add_v acceptable_a to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n many_o people_n offer_v up_o sacrifice_n and_o they_o think_v that_o be_v enough_o but_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o rest_v not_o only_o in_o the_o duty_n no_o nor_o in_o the_o spirituality_n of_o the_o duty_n though_o that_o be_v count_v a_o great_a matter_n but_o they_o go_v one_o step_n high_o and_o so_o must_v you_o in_o all_o the_o duty_n you_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v careful_a that_o your_o duty_n be_v spiritual_a but_o you_o must_v tender_v they_o to_o god_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o expect_v acceptance_n through_o he_o when_o thou_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n in_o all_o thy_o

of_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n to_o take_v all_o our_o sacrifice_n that_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o the_o father_n and_o to_o offer_v they_o up_o for_o we_o for_o we_o must_v not_o

christ_n in_o all_o that_o go_v from_o we_o unto_o god_n christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o for_o acceptation_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v do_v with_o the_o four_o particular_a show_v wherein_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o but_o now_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n will_v have_v this_o way_n of_o communicate_v himself_o to_o mankind_n and_o will_v not_o go_v in_o that_o other_o way_n that_o we_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n will_v think_v he_o shall_v go_v true_a indeed_o we_o be_v sinner_n i_o but_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o we_o will_v seek_v and_o cry_v to_o he_o for_o pardon_n and_o mercy_n and_o deliverance_n from_o our_o sin_n and_o what_o need_v there_o more_o why_o will_v not_o god_n save_v we_o this_o way_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v now_o to_o dispute_v about_o the_o possibility_n of_o this_o but_o we_o know_v this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n we_o be_v therefore_o now_o to_o inquire_v why_o god_n shall_v rather_o take_v this_o strange_a way_n then_o go_v any_o other_o way_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a way_n if_o we_o right_o consider_v it_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o work_v so_o much_o upon_o a_o man_n heart_n to_o adore_v and_o admire_v god_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v a_o peculiar_a way_n of_o communicate_v himself_o to_o man_n different_z from_o angel_n and_o from_o all_o other_o creature_n that_o it_o must_v be_v through_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o

godliness_n and_o shall_v take_v up_o our_o serious_a thought_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o now_o if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o hereby_o god_n may_v manifest_v to_o all_o the_o child_n of_o man_n what_o a_o dreadful_a breach_n their_o sin_n have_v make_v between_o god_n and_o they_o we_o can_v imagine_v any_o way_n how_o the_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o man_n can_v have_v be_v so_o clear_o set_v out_o as_o by_o this_o mean_n when_o we_o understand_v that_o such_o be_v our_o condition_n by_o nature_n and_o such_o our_o apostasy_n from_o god_n that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o communication_n of_o any_o good_a from_o god_n to_o we_o but_o by_o this_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a way_n of_o a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v obey_v and_o suffer_v and_o die_v for_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o apprehend_v now_o that_o certain_o there_o be_v some_o mighty_a difference_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o that_o man_n estate_n be_v very_o low_a and_o his_o condition_n very_o desperate_a that_o must_v have_v such_o a_o remedy_n as_o this_o be_v and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o god_n will_v have_v man_n to_o know_v even_o what_o that_o breach_n be_v between_o he_o and_o their_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v such_o a_o breach_n that_o few_o think_v a_o right_n of_o it_o if_o i_o shall_v open_v the_o law_n to_o you_o with_o all_o its_o curse_n and_o set_v the_o torment_n of_o hell_n before_o you_o all_o this_o can_v not_o set_v out_o the_o dreadfulness_n of_o the_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o you_o
