that_o the_o angel_n have_v some_o charge_n and_o care_n of_o the_o body_n of_o good_a man_n after_o death_n may_v not_o improbable_o be_v gather_v from_o that_o passage_n m_o st._n judas_n v._o 9_o where_o michael_n the_o archangel_n be_v say_v to_o have_v contend_v with_o the_o devil_n about_o the_o body_n of_o moses_n what_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o controversy_n betwixt_o they_o be_v may_v

in_o these_o word_n yet_o michael_n the_o archangel_n when_o contend_v with_o the_o devil_n he_o dispute_v about_o the_o body_n of_o moses_n dare_v not_o bring_v against_o he_o a_o rail_a accusation_n his_o duty_n restrain_v he_o from_o it_o and_o probable_o his_o discretion_n too_o as_o he_o dare_v not_o offend_v god_n in_o do_v a_o thing_n so_o much_o beneath_o the_o dignity_n and_o perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n so_o he_o can_v not_o but_o think_v that_o the_o devil_n will_v have_v be_v too_o hard_o for_o he_o at_o rail_v a_o thing_n to_o which_o as_o the_o angel_n have_v no_o

dispute_v with_o the_o devil_n dare_v not_o bring_v against_o he_o a_o rail_a accusation_n but_o to_o proceed_v this_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o the_o angel_n shall_v be_v the_o great_a minister_n and_o instrument_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n and_o the_o reunion_n of_o they_o to_o our_o soul_n for_o so_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v tell_v we_o matt._n 24.30_o 31._o that_o

now_o remain_v but_o to_o apply_v this_o to_o ourselves_o 1._o let_v we_o propound_v to_o ourselves_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o our_o pattern_n and_o example_n this_o be_v the_o inference_n which_o the_o apostle_n make_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o one_o after_o the_o text_n belove_v if_o god_n so_o love_v we_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o love_v one_o another_o one_o will_v have_v think_v the_o inference_n shall_v have_v be_v if_o god_n so_o love_v we_o than_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o love_v he_o but_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o the_o affection_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o love_n and_o his_o meaning_n be_v if_o god_n have_v bestow_v such_o benefit_n upon_o we_o we_o ought_v in_o imitation_n of_o he_o to_o be_v kind_a and_o beneficial_a one_o to_o another_o not_o but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o soul_n and_o strength_n but_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o we_o can_v be_v beneficial_a to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v self-sufficient_a and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o exhort_v man_n to_o love_n god_n but_o one_o another_o no_o man_n have_v see_v god_n at_o any_o time_n he_o be_v not_o sensible_a to_o we_o and_o therefore_o none_o of_o these_o sensible_a thing_n can_v signify_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o but_o he_o have_v friend_n and_o relation_n here_o in_o the_o world_n who_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o sensible_a effect_n of_o our_o love_n and_o to_o who_o we_o may_v show_v kindness_n for_o his_o sake_n we_o can_v be_v beneficial_a to_o god_n but_o we_o may_v testify_v our_o love_n to_o he_o by_o our_o kindness_n and_o charity_n to_o man_n who_o be_v make_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o if_o we_o see_v any_o one_o miserable_a that_o be_v consideration_n enough_o to_o move_v our_o charity_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o this_o in_o we_o to_o move_v he_o to_o pity_n we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o our_o blood_n and_o no_o eye_n pity_v we_o god_n be_v a_o pattern_n of_o the_o most_o generous_a kindness_n and_o charity_n though_o he_o be_v infinite_o above_o we_o yet_o he_o think_v it_o not_o below_o he_o to_o confider_v our_o case_n and_o to_o employ_v his_o only_a son_n to_o save_o we_o he_o have_v no_o obligation_n to_o we_o no_o expectation_n of_o advantage_n from_o we_o and_o can_v never_o be_v in_o a_o possibility_n to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o we_o and_o yet_o he_o love_v we_o and_o have_v confer_v the_o great_a benefit_n upon_o we_o so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v have_v deserve_v so_o ill_o at_o our_o hand_n but_o that_o if_o he_o be_v in_o want_n and_o we_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o help_v he_o he_o ought_v to_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n and_o consideration_n of_o our_o charity_n and_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a season_n for_o it_o when_o we_o commemorate_v the_o great_a blessing_n and_o benefit_n that_o be_v ever_o confer_v on_o mankind_n the_o son_n of_o god_n send_v into_o the_o world_n on_o purpose_n to_o redeem_v and_o save_v we_o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o very_o much_o commend_v the_o custom_n of_o feed_v and_o relieve_v the_o poor_a more_o especial_o at_o this_o time_n when_o the_o poor_a do_v usual_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n of_o it_o and_o when_o we_o commemorate_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v rich_a become_v poor_a for_o our_o sake_n that_o we_o through_o his_o poverty_n may_v be_v make_v rich_a 2._o let_v we_o ready_o comply_v with_o the_o great_a design_n of_o this_o great_a love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n he_o have_v send_v his_o son_n that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o but_o though_o he_o have_v do_v all_o this_o for_o we_o though_o he_o have_v purchase_v so_o great_a blessing_n for_o we_o as_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o power_n against_o they_o and_o eternal_a life_n and_o happiness_n yet_o there_o be_v something_o to_o be_v do_v on_o our_o part_n to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o these_o benefit_n god_n have_v not_o so_o love_v we_o as_o to_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o carry_v man_n to_o heaven_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o and_o to_o rescue_v those_o from_o the_o slavery_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n who_o be_v fond_a of_o their_o fetter_n and_o wilful_o run_v themselves_o upon_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v to_o offer_v happiness_n to_o we_o upon_o certain_a term_n and_o condition_n such_o as_o be_v fit_a for_o god_n to_o propound_v and_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o perform_v to_o make_v we_o capable_a of_o the_o blessedness_n which_o he_o offer_v as_o namely_o repentance_n towards_o god_n and_o faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n a_o sincere_a and_o constant_a endeavour_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o precept_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n these_o be_v the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n offer_v it_o only_o upon_o these_o term_n that_o we_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n then_o we_o may_v expect_v the_o bless_a hope_n but_o if_o we_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o these_o condition_n the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v be_v no_o saviour_n to_o we_o for_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n only_o to_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o if_o man_n will_v continue_v in_o their_o sin_n the_o redemption_n wrought_v by_o christ_n will_v be_v of_o no_o advantage_n to_o they_o such_o as_o obstinate_o persist_v in_o a_o impenitent_a course_n ipsa_fw-la si_fw-la velit_fw-la salus_fw-la seruare_fw-la

we_o refuse_v we_o be_v son_n of_o perdition_n eternal_o lose_v and_o undo_v for_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o these_o be_v the_o best_a and_o easy_a term_n that_o can_v ever_o be_v offer_v to_o we_o because_o god_n send_v they_o by_o his_o son_n this_o be_v the_o last_o effort_n of_o the_o divine_a love_n and_o goodness_n towards_o the_o recovery_n and_o salvation_n of_o man_n so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o heb._n 1.1_o 2._o that_o god_n who_o at_o sundry_a time_n and_o in_o divers_a manner_n speak_v to_o the_o father_n by_o the_o prophet_n have_v in_o these_o last_o day_n speak_v to_o we_o by_o his_o son_n and_o if_o we_o refuse_v to_o hear_v he_o he_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o after_o this_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v any_o far_a attempt_n for_o our_o recovery_n for_o he_o can_v send_v no_o great_a nor_o dear_a person_n to_o we_o than_o he_o own_o son_n and_o if_o we_o refuse_v he_o who_o will_v we_o reverence_v if_o after_o

that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a end_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n which_o we_o be_v now_o go_v to_o receive_v to_o represent_v to_o our_o mind_n the_o
