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 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

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

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

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

that_o love_n be_v abuse_v now_o when_o we_o do_v ascribe_v any_o humane_a affection_n unto_o god_n we_o must_v separate_v from_o it_o all_o imperfection_n whatsoever_o if_o there_o be_v a_o jealousy_n not_o ground_v in_o love_n it_o be_v faulty_a or_o if_o it_o be_v a_o jealousy_n without_o cause_n it_o be_v blame_v worthy_a neither_o of_o these_o fault_n be_v in_o the_o jealousy_n that_o we_o ascribe_v unto_o god_n and_o unto_o christ_n he_o be_v a_o jealous_a god_n but_o his_o jealousy_n proceed_v of_o love_n though_o it_o tend_v unto_o hate_n upon_o suspicion_n that_o love_n be_v abuse_v and_o not_o without_o cause_n so_o god_n may_v be_v jealous_a of_o we_o but_o we_o can_v be_v jealous_a of_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o that_o be_v jealous_a be_v jealous_a of_o a_o partner_n in_o love_n i_o will_v to_o god_n say_v s._n paul_n to_o agrippa_n act._n 26._o 29._o i_o will_v that_o all_o that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n be_v both_o almost_o and_o altogether_o such_o as_o i_o be_o s._n paul_n care_v not_o how_o many_o partner_n he_o have_v in_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o be_v infinite_a but_o our_o love_n unto_o christ_n it_o be_v so_o straight_o and_o so_o narrow_a that_o if_o so_o be_v he_o have_v any_o partner_n with_o he_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v he_o shall_v not_o have_v his_o due_a so_o that_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v jealous_a wherefore_o without_o all_o question_n we_o must_v take_v this_o motive_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o jealousy_n love_n be_v strong_a as_o death_n jealousy_n be_v cruel_a as_o the_o grave_n to_o show_v the_o strength_n of_o christ_n love_n unto_o we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v a_o fit_a comparison_n for_o what_o be_v strong_a than_o death_n that_o devour_v all_o sure_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n unto_o man_n mark_v then_o what_o be_v the_o general_a effect_n of_o death_n you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n take_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o leave_v it_o wan_a pale_a and_o ghastly_a and_o that_o be_v likewise_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o extremity_n of_o love_n especial_o of_o christ_n love_n towards_o us._n for_o this_o pure_a chaste_a and_o divine_a love_n wherewith_o christ_n love_v we_o it_o make_v he_o to_o
