his_o only-begotten_a son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o and_o this_o expression_n be_v very_o proper_a to_o our_o case_n because_o life_n signify_v the_o reparation_n of_o all_o that_o which_o be_v lose_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o man._n for_o man_n by_o his_o wilful_a degeneracy_n and_o apostasy_n from_o god_n be_v sink_v into_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o misery_n both_o which_o the_o scripture_n be_v wont_a to_o express_v by_o death_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o sinful_a state_n we_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o punishment_n and_o misery_n due_a to_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n we_o be_v judicial_o dead_a dead_a in_o law_n for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n now_o god_n have_v send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o in_o both_o these_o respect_n we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o 1._o we_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v eph._n 2.1_o 2._o you_o have_v he_o

be_v dead_a while_o they_o live_v 1_o tim._n 5.6_o what_o corrupt_a humour_n be_v to_o the_o body_n that_o sin_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n their_o disease_n and_o their_o death_n now_o god_n send_v his_o

body_n of_o sin_n in_o we_o that_o henceforth_o we_o shall_v not_o serve_v sin_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n of_o the_o mighty_a love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o eph._n 2.4_o 5._o god_n who_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n for_o his_o great_a love_n wherewith_o he_o love_v we_o even_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n have_v quicken_v we_o together_o with_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o of_o his_o great_a love_n to_o we_o to_o recover_v we_o out_o of_o this_o sad_a and_o deplorable_a case_n it_o be_v a_o kindness_n infinite_o great_a than_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o most_o wretched_a slavery_n or_o to_o rescue_v we_o from_o the_o most_o dreadful_a and_o cruel_a temporal_a death_n and_o yet_o we_o shall_v value_v this_o as_o a_o favour_n and_o benefit_n that_o can_v never_o be_v sufficient_o acknowledge_v but_o god_n have_v send_v his_o son_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o a_o worse_a

the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o boundless_a mercy_n and_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o god_n who_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n for_o the_o great_a love_n wherewith_o he_o love_v we_o have_v quicken_v

advocate_n or_o intercessor_n in_o heaven_n for_o we_o in_o who_o name_n and_o by_o who_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n we_o be_v to_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n and_o service_n to_o god_n 2._o that_o this_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o one_o main_a end_n and_o design_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o of_o our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v likewise_o

god_n and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o and_o then_o 4._o and_o last_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v how_o contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n concern_v one_o mediator_n and_o intercessor_n in_o heaven_n for_o we_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v in_o their_o invocation_n of_o angel_n and_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o the_o saint_n and_o make_v use_n of_o their_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n with_o god_n for_o sinner_n as_o likewise_o how_o contrary_a it_o be_v to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_a church_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v answer_v their_o several_a pretence_n for_o this_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o show_v that_o this_o practice_n be_v not_o only_o needless_a but_o useless_a and_o unprofitable_a and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o very_o dangerous_a and_o impious_a first_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v that_o god_n

of_o worship_n in_o his_o name_n and_o no_o other_o and_o with_o a_o promise_n that_o the_o prayer_n and_o service_n which_o we_o offer_v in_o his_o name_n will_v be_v gracious_o answer_v and_o

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 non_fw-la potest_fw-la salvation_n itself_o can_v save_v they_o these_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o our_o happiness_n and_o if_o we_o submit_v to_o they_o we_o be_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n if_o 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 this_o we_o still_o wilful_o go_v on_o in_o our_o sin_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n to_o consume_v we_o 3._o with_o what_o joy_n and_o thankfulness_n shall_v we_o commemorate_v this_o great_a love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n in_o send_v his_o only-begotten_a son_n into_o the_o world_n 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

the_o memory_n of_o this_o wonderful_a love_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v show_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n endeavour_v to_o make_v all_o the_o world_n in_o love_n with_o he_o who_o have_v
