these_o three_o consideration_n i._o that_o it_o be_v the_o manifest_a design_n of_o our_o saviour_n appear_v to_o make_v such_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n among_o mankind_n as_o be_v here_o describe_v ii_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o religion_n be_v such_o as_o be_v apt_a to_o produce_v this_o effect_n which_o he_o design_v and_o iii_o that_o it_o be_v actual_o produce_v in_o the_o first_o convert_v to_o christianity_n who_o hearty_o embrace_v his_o religion_n of_o the_o two_o first_o of_o these_o i_o have_v large_o discourse_v especial_o of_o the_o second_o wherein_o i_o show_v that_o such_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o his_o religion_n which_o he_o require_v we_o to_o believe_v such_o the_o precept_n which_o he_o recommend_v to_o our_o practice_n and_o such_o the_o obligation_n he_o lay_v upon_o we_o to_o believe_v these_o principle_n and_o practice_v these_o precept_n that_o they_o can_v not_o fail_v of_o this_o end_n to_o make_v peace_n among_o man_n be_v they_o serious_o consider_v and_o hearty_o entertain_v and_o that_o be_v say_v in_o scripture-language_n to_o be_v do_v by_o god_n which_o he_o use_v sufficient_a mean_n and_o give_v we_o sufficient_a power_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v though_o the_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v actual_o effect_v for_o god_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o keep_v we_o in_o order_n and_o peace_n like_o a_o herd_n of_o beast_n by_o pen_v we_o up_o and_o imprison_v we_o as_o we_o do_v lion_n and_o tiger_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o our_o power_n to_o destroy_v and_o worry_v other_o but_o he_o order_n and_o

enter_v into_o our_o mind_n and_o be_v root_v in_o our_o heart_n it_o will_v alter_v our_o brutish_a nature_n and_o chain_v up_o our_o furious_a passion_n nay_o so_o mortify_v and_o subdue_v they_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v become_v new_a creature_n transform_v into_o the_o likeness_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n by_o who_o name_n we_o be_v call_v this_o be_v enough_o to_o verify_v what_o the_o prophet_n say_v as_o i_o can_v show_v by_o many_o unanswerable_a argument_n if_o it_o will_v not_o take_v up_o too_o much_o room_n in_o this_o discourse_n but_o to_o give_v a_o full_a and_o more_o evident_a satisfaction_n i_o add_v the_o three_o consideration_n which_o i_o can_v but_o light_o touch_v in_o the_o former_a sermon_n but_o shall_v now_o more_o large_o explain_v and_o in_o conclusion_n add_v a_o four_o which_o will_v expound_v this_o prophecy_n in_o the_o most_o literal_a sense_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o put_v it_o then_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o our_o bless_a lord_n be_v the_o christ_n who_o be_v to_o make_v the_o wolf_n and_o the_o lamb_n dwell_v together_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o as_o it_o be_v his_o
