truth_n that_o be_v branch_v from_o it_o i_o have_v at_o large_a declare_v in_o my_o discourse_n concern_v the_o whole_a dispensation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n here_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v

the_o glory_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o cross_n do_v take_v this_o for_o grant_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v such_o a_o conjunction_n between_o the_o guilty_a person_n and_o he_o that_o

humane_a nature_n with_o the_o church_n be_v ineffable_o distinct_a from_o that_o common_a conjunction_n which_o be_v among_o all_o other_o in_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o therefore_o although_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v meet_a among_o mere_a man_n that_o one_o shall_v act_v and_o suffer_v in_o the_o stead_n of_o other_o because_o they_o be_v all_o thus_o relate_v to_o one_o another_o as_o it_o be_v

they_o who_o for_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v subject_a to_o bondage_n this_o be_v the_o only_a end_n of_o his_o conjunction_n in_o nature_n with_o the_o church_n and_o this_o put_v the_o case_n between_o he_o and_o it_o at_o a_o vast_a distance_n from_o what_o be_v or_o may_v be_v between_o other_o men._n it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o argue_v that_o because_o a_o mere_a

the_o same_o nature_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a and_o just_a foundation_n of_o his_o suffering_n for_o we_o and_o in_o our_o stead_n for_o by_o a_o act_n of_o
