by_o his_o go_n to_o the_o father_n he_o be_v exalt_v and_o glorify_v as_o mediator_n i_o speak_v and_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o be_v the_o glory_n and_o greatness_n that_o be_v put_v upon_o christ_n

such_o a_o father_n and_o to_o such_o a_o son_n when_o that_o great_a sinner_n the_o prodigal_n return_v unto_o his_o father_n his_o father_n fall_v upon_o his_o neck_n and_o kiss_v he_o bring_v out_o

the_o obedient_a son_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v upon_o his_o father_n great_a concernment_n in_o the_o world_n great_a be_v this_o entertainment_n sure_o beyond_o all_o my_o expression_n but_o now_o more_o particular_o 1._o no_o soon_o do_v he_o come_v into_o heaven_n unto_o his_o father_n but_o he_o be_v justify_v in_o all_o that_o which_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o as_o you_o

so_o christ_n typify_v have_v a_o double_a anoint_v one_o upon_o his_o incarnation_n in_o which_o respect_n he_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o i_o and_o he_o have_v anoint_v i_o to_o preach_v and_o another_o upon_o his_o coronation_n when_o he_o be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o therefore_o in_o heb._n 1._o he_o be_v anoint_v twith_o the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n above_o his_o fellow_n come_v in_o upon_o his_o exaltation_n and_o 4._o no_o soon_o do_v he_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n but_o his_o father_n say_v unto_o he_o sit_v thou_o down_o at_o my_o right_a hand_n the_o most_o honourable_a place_n in_o heaven_n sit_v thou_o at_o my_o right_a hand_n my_o son_n why_o now_o be_v it_o not_o a_o matter_n of_o great_a rejoice_v to_o we_o that_o christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n with_o our_o name_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n and_o heart_n
the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n if_o you_o look_v therefore_o into_o the_o old_a testament_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o sprinkle_v blood_n upon_o a_o fourfold_a account_n to_o confirm_v and_o ratify_v the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o they_o to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o their_o sin_n for_o the_o sanctification_n and_o purification_n of_o their_o person_n and_o thing_n and_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o person_n according_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n heb._n 9.19_o the_o book_n be_v sprinkle_v so_o in_o the_o 24._o of_o exod._n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v give_v v._o 7._o and_o he_o take_v the_o book_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o read_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n and_o they_o say_v all_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v we_o will_v do_v and_o be_v obedient_a and_o moses_n take_v the_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v it_o on_o the_o people_n and_o say_v behold_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o 9th_o of_o the_o heb._n tell_v we_o that_o he_o sprinkle_v the_o book_n itself_o and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o do_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o covenant_n now_o make_v between_o god_n and_o we_o as_o at_o large_a in_o that_o 9th_o of_o the_o hebrew_n 2._o then_o also_o in_o those_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o sprinkle_v blood_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o four_o of_o levit._n 6_o and_o the_o 20._o verse_n and_o the_o priest_n shall_v dip_v his_o finger_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n seven_o time_n before_o the_o lord_n before_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n the_o mercy_n seat_n and_o the_o altar_n be_v sprinkle_v the_o reason_n be_v give_v at_o the_o 20_o v._o and_o he_o shall_v do_v with_o the_o bullock_n as_o he_o do_v with_o the_o bullock_n for_o a_o fin_n offer_v so_o shall_v he_o do_v with_o this_o and_o the_o priest_n shall_v make_v a_o atonement_n for_o they_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v they_o and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n whereby_o we_o have_v atonement_n as_o in_o rom._n 5.11_o 3._o again_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o do_v sprinkle_v blood_n for_o the_o purification_n of_o man_n person_n and_o of_o thing_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o levit._n 14._o v._o 7._o and_o he_o shall_v sprinkle_v upon_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v cleanse_v from_o the_o leprosy_n seven_o time_n and_o shall_v pronounce_v he_o clean_o and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o do_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n as_o in_o the_o first_o epist_n of_o john_n chap._n 1._o 4._o then_o in_o those_o time_n they_o do_v sprinkle_v man_n person_n for_o preservation_n from_o the_o destroy_a angel_n when_o the_o destroy_a angel_n come_v to_o destroy_v the_o egyptian_n the_o post_n of_o the_o israelite_n be_v sprinkle_v that_o they_o may_v be_v preserve_v and_o why_o but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o we_o be_v preserve_v from_o the_o destroyer_n in_o the_o 1._o v._o of_o the_o 1._o of_o judas_n it_o be_v say_v judas_n the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o brother_n of_o james_n to_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o god_n the_o father_n and_o preserve_v in_o jesus_n christ_n or_o preserve_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o christ_n our_o passover_n be_v sacrifice_v for_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n so_o that_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v brief_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o their_o sprinkle_n blood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o how_o all_o this_o be_v applicable_a to_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n and_o if_o you_o look_v wishly_o into_o the_o scripture_n and_o compare_v thing_n with_o thing_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o moses_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v divide_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n part_v whereof_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o altar_n pour_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o altar_n to_o oblige_v god_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o part_n of_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o people_n to_o confirm_v their_o soul_n in_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o to_o oblige_v they_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v covenant_n with_o god_n so_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o when_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n speak_v at_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n the_o first_o part_n part_n of_o the_o word_n this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o

will_v know_v what_o be_v the_o use_n of_o this_o sprinkle_v i_o say_v sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n note_n application_n what_o be_v we_o the_o better_a for_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v not_o apply_v to_o we_o and_o sprinkle_v on_o we_o there_o be_v two_o great_a attribute_n of_o god_n that_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o in_o the_o great_a matter_n of_o our_o redemption_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v be_v be_v satisfy_v christ_n be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o his_o blood_n shed_v on_o earth_n that_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n may_v be_v obtain_v christ_n carry_v as_o our_o great_a highpriest_n his_o blood_n the_o virtue_n of_o it_o into_o heaven_n and_o sprinkle_v the_o

be_v assure_v that_o god_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o we_o as_o when_o the_o jew_n be_v sprinkle_v with_o blood_n the_o priest_n say_v this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n they_o be_v

of_o a_o mediator_n but_o in_o this_o covenant_n that_o be_v now_o strike_v there_o be_v a_o mediator_n a_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o that_o thus_o you_o see_v this_o covenant_n be_v

of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n between_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o the_o jew_n

1._o it_o be_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v save_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v save_v by_o the_o same_o covenant_n that_o we_o now_o be_v save_v by_o

promise_v many_o a_o mercy_n upon_o a_o condition_n and_o yet_o give_v the_o mercy_n when_o we_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n i_o say_v say_v david_n i_o will_v confess_v my_o sin_n and_o thou_o lord_n forgave_v my_o iniquity_n lord_n thou_o have_v make_v a_o promise_n of_o forgiveness_n upon_o condition_n of_o our_o confession_n and_o humiliation_n i_o do_v not_o go_v so_o far_o i_o

his_o mercy_n he_o do_v prevent_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n in_o reference_n to_o our_o deserve_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o own_o proceed_n of_o common_a providence_n in_o reference_n to_o all_o
