here_o many_o observation_n may_v be_v hence_o raise_v as_o 1._o serve_v the_o lord_n be_v the_o great_a work_n and_o business_n that_o the_o world_n have_v to_o do_v 2._o this_o service_n shall_v

spend_v the_o time_n allot_v i_o doct._n no_o power_n or_o privilege_n can_v save_v that_o man_n from_o the_o fearful_a sudden_a consume_a wrath_n of_o god_n that_o do_v not_o unfeigned_o love_v depend_v upon_o and_o subject_n himself_o unto_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o they_o be_v the_o great_a king_n and_o judge_n yet_o if_o they_o do_v not_o kiss_v the_o mouth_n the_o hand_n the_o

acknowledge_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o his_o satisfaction_n and_o his_o power_n and_o willingness_n to_o save_v all_o that_o receive_v he_o manifest_v in_o his_o free_a universal_a offer_n in_o the_o gospel_n we_o do_v hearty_o accept_v he_o for_o our_o only_a saviour_n and_o according_o renounce_v all_o other_o do_v wait_v upon_o he_o believe_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o office_n and_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o faithful_a covenant_n to_o we_o in_o restore_v we_o to_o all_o the_o blessing_n which_o we_o lose_v and_o advance_v we_o to_o a_o for_o great_a everlasting_a glory_n 3._o this_o affection_n to_o christ_n be_v when_o in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o sense_n of_o his_o love_n to_o we_o both_o common_a and_o especial_a and_o of_o his_o own_o

according_o love_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n as_o this_o three_o fold_n description_n contain_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o have_v it_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o sound_n christianity_n if_o any_o one_o of_o these_o three_o be_v not_o find_v in_o thy_o heart_n either_o i_o have_v little_a skill_n in_o divinity_n or_o thou_o have_v no_o true_a christianity_n nor_o can_v be_v save_v in_o that_o condition_n object_n but_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n make_v believe_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o here_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o believe_v answ_n sometime_o faith_n be_v take_v in_o a_o narrow_a sense_n and_o then_o it_o be_v not_o make_v the_o sole_a condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o repentance_n and_o forgive_a other_o be_v join_v with_o it_o as_o condition_n of_o our_o forgiveness_n and_o obedience_n and_o perseverance_n as_o condition_n of_o our_o continue_a justification_n and_o salvation_n but_o when_o faith_n be_v make_v the_o sole_a condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n than_o it_o comprehend_v essential_o not_o only_o suppose_v as_o precedent_n or_o concomitant_a if_o not_o all_o three_o yet_o at_o least_o the_o two_o first_o of_o the_o fore_n describe_v qualification_n viz._n dependence_n and_o subjection_n which_o if_o it_o be_v well_o understand_v will_v much_o free_v the_o common_a sort_n of_o christian_n from_o their_o soul_n destroy_v mistake_n and_o the_o body_n of_o divinity_n from_o a_o multitude_n of_o common_a error_n and_o our_o religion_n from_o much_o of_o that_o reproach_n of_o solisidianism_n which_o be_v cast_v upon_o it_o by_o the_o papist_n 2._o i_o must_v be_v as_o brief_a in_o open_v the_o second_o thing_n viz._n what_o wrath_n be_v it_o that_o will_v thus_o kindle_v and_o consume_v they_o what_o wrath_n be_v in_o god_n we_o need_v not_o here_o trouble_v ourselves_o to_o inquire_v but_o only_o what_o be_v intimate_v in_o the_o threat_n or_o curse_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o there_o be_v two_o covenant_n so_o each_o have_v his_o proper_a penalty_n for_o its_o violation_n 1._o then_o ti●l_a man_n do_v come_v in_o and_o

that_o covenant_n christ_n death_n have_v take_v away_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o covenaut_n not_o absolute_o from_o any_o man_n but_o conditional_o which_o become_v absolute_a when_o the_o condition_n

to_o christ_n 2._o whosoever_o reject_v or_o neglect_v this_o grace_n and_o so_o final_o break_v the_o new_a covenant_n must_v also_o bear_v the_o curse_n or_o penalty_n thereof_o beside_o all_o the_o former_a which_o will_v be_v a_o far_o great_a curse_n even_o as_o the_o blessing_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v far_o great_a than_o those_o of_o the_o first_o it_o be_v a_o heavy_a punishment_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o paradise_n and_o from_o the_o presence_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v curse_v by_o he_o and_o subject_v to_o eternal_a death_n and_o all_o creature_n below_o

the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n heb._n 10._o 28_o 29._o it_o be_v true_a that_o for_o all_o other_o sin_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n or_o unperswadableness_n that_o be_v on_o they_o that_o will_v not_o be_v perswd_v to_o obey_v the_o lord_n christ_n epha_n 5._o 6._o but_o it_o be_v on_o no_o other_o with_o we_o for_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o

to_o discover_v the_o wile_n of_o satan_n and_o to_o vanquish_v the_o temptation_n he_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v a_o enemy_n that_o tempt_v you_o and_o will_v you_o hearken_v to_o a_o enemy_n he_o
