Christ the bread of life, a sufficient remedy for mans misery; with the way and meanes to obtain him; as also incouragements to come to him, from his abilitie and readinesse to give full soule-satisfaction. / By John Archer, Master of Art, sometime preacher of All-hallowes Lumbard-street.

then_o as_o any_o one_o in_o reason_n know_v be_v christ_n come_v to_o take_v and_o receive_v when_o he_o be_v entertain_v as_o he_o be_v and_o as_o he_o be_v offer_v by_o god_n a_o king_n priest_n &_o prophet_n for_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n tender_v he_o viz_o to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o word_n believe_v in_o or_o on_o christ_n imply_v a_o confidence_n or_o trust_n in_o he_o a_o rely_v on_o he_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v most_o true_a and_o therefore_o the_o phrase_n be_v extreordinary_a not_o to_o be_v find_v as_o some_o have_v observe_v in_o any_o writer_n but_o the_o scripture_n and_o such_o as_o take_v it_o from_o they_o other_o use_v only_o this_o phrase_n to_o believe_v a_o thing_n and_o not_o to_o believe_v in_o it_o or_o on_o it_o so_o that_o the_o phrase_n imply_v rely_v on_o it_o with_o a_o confidence_n &_o expectation_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o so_o i_o think_v that_o there_o never_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v a_o come_v to_o christ_n or_o receive_v he_o without_o a_o trust_n confidence_n or_o rely_v on_o he_o and_o the_o come_v to_o he_o or_o receive_v of_o he_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o for_o therefore_o they_o come_v to_o he_o &_o entertain_v he_o because_o they_o trust_v to_o be_v help_v by_o he_o but_o this_o may_v not_o always_o be_v evident_a as_o the_o cause_n be_v oft_o more_o obscure_a than_o the_o effect_n and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v entertain_v christ_n when_o he_o think_v he_o can_v rely_v on_o he_o &_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o double_a trust_v or_o rely_v on_o christ_n the_o one_o be_v at_o a_o venture_n without_o a_o persuasion_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o he_o ground_v on_o god_n free_a offer_n of_o he_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o come_v to_o he_o and_o entertain_v of_o he_o for_o if_o this_o be_v not_o people_z will_v never_o receive_v he_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o confidence_n in_o his_o ability_n &_o willingness_n to_o save_v all_o that_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o he_o give_v record_n of_o he_o the_o other_o be_v a_o more_o certain_a thing_n ground_v on_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n because_o a_o soul_n know_v it_o have_v christ_n for_o its_o own_o therefore_o it_o rest_v on_o he_o confident_o for_o salvation_n this_o follow_v the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o believe_v and_o be_v a_o far_a act_n and_o degree_n of_o faith_n and_o come_v after_o our_o come_v to_o he_o and_o receive_v of_o he_o the_o former_a may_v not_o appear_v though_o it_o ever_o be_v where_o christ_n be_v believe_v on_o and_o be_v weak_a according_a as_o the_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v weak_a and_o that_o make_v some_o divine_n make_v faith_n to_o be_v a_o rest_v on_o god_n authority_n or_o a_o trust_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o speak_v for_o this_o ever_o be_v where_o faith_n be_v thus_o all_o thing_n consider_v we_o see_v faith_n may_v be_v so_o define_v as_o i_o have_v do_v viz_o the_o act_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o entertain_v christ_n and_o resigning_n himself_o to_o christ_n therefore_o
