be_v now_o ashamed_a be_v not_o the_o end_n of_o these_o thing_n death_n for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o

none_o of_o they_o grievous_a say_v the_o apostle_n st._n john_n the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v perfect_a say_v david_n convert_v the_o soul_n his_o statute_n be_v right_a rejoice_v the_o heart_n

draw_v from_o a_o doctrine_n former_o deliver_v as_o appear_v from_o the_o illative_a particle_n therefore_o in_o the_o 19_o verse_n and_o there_o you_o have_v also_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o viz._n that_o there_o be_v now_o free_a access_n unto_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n which_o the_o apostle_n declare_v in_o figurative_a expression_n with_o a_o allusion_n to_o the_o jewish_a temple_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v write_v to_o hebrew_n but_o also_o because_o that_o temple_n and_o the_o way_n of_o enter_v thereinto_o be_v a_o type_n of_o this_o great_a truth_n which_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o gospel_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a and_o the_o only_a mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n that_o by_o he_o man_n may_v confident_o draw_v near_o to_o

it_o most_o evident_a so_o that_o there_o can_v remain_v no_o doubt_n thereof_o except_o in_o those_o who_o obstruct_v their_o own_o conviction_n not_o desire_v to_o be_v convince_v now_o the_o proper_a and_o practical_a improvement_n of_o this_o certain_a important_a and_o most_o desirable_a truth_n be_v what_o you_o have_v in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o text_n for_o they_o contain_v a_o exhortation_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o this_o gracious_a privilege_n and_o with_o all_o they_o show_v we_o how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o shall_v do_v it_o so_o as_o to_o obtain_v it_o i_o shall_v first_o speak_v to_o the_o exhortation_n itself_o next_o of_o the_o quality_n here_o require_v of_o such_o as_o design_n to_o comply_v with_o the_o exhortation_n and_o last_o make_v application_n of_o all_o to_o the_o present_a business_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o begin_v then_o with_o the_o exhortation_n near_o which_o be_v in_o these_o word_n let_v we_o draw_v near_o to_o what_o or_o who_o we_o shall_v draw_v near_o be_v not_o here_o express_v but_o be_v to_o be_v gather_v from_o what_o go_v before_o whereby_o we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v god_n to_o who_o we_o be_v here_o desire_v to_o draw_v near_o and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o by_o draw_v near_o here_o can_v be_v mean_v any_o motion_n of_o our_o body_n towards_o god_n for_o as_o to_o his_o glorious_a and_o majestic_a presence_n in_o the_o heaven_n we_o can_v approach_v it_o though_o we_o will_v and_o as_o for_o his_o other_o essential_a presence_n neither_o can_v we_o avoid_v it_o though_o we_o will_v too_o for_o he_o fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n whither_o shall_v i_o go_v from_o thy_o spirit_n or_o whither_o shall_v i_o flee_v from_o thy_o presence_n say_v david_n if_o i_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n thou_o be_v there_o if_o i_o make_v my_o bed_n in_o hell_n behold_v thou_o be_v there_o to_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n therefore_o be_v a_o metaphorical_a speech_n and_o must_v be_v understand_v not_o of_o any_o natural_a action_n of_o the_o body_n but_o of_o some_o moral_a action_n of_o the_o soul_n viz._n the_o desire_v and_o endeavour_n after_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n for_o because_o those_o who_o be_v enemy_n and_o at_o variance_n together_o use_v to_o keep_v a_o distance_n and_o shun_v each_o other_o company_n therefore_o in_o scripture_n they_o who_o never_o think_v of_o god_n take_v no_o care_n to_o please_v he_o and_o those_o who_o make_v no_o difficulty_n to_o offend_v he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v far_o from_o god_n and_o to_o go_v a_o whore_v from_o he_o and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n because_o those_o who_o lie_v aside_o their_o enmity_n and_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v make_v friend_n usual_o meet_v and_o resort_v to_o one_o another_o company_n therefore_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n language_n be_v put_v for_o the_o inclination_n of_o our_o soul_n towards_o he_o the_o seek_v to_o have_v all_o manner_n of_o enmity_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o quite_o remove_v and_o that_o a_o true_a firm_a peace_n be_v make_v up_o with_o he_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n and_o occasion_n of_o that_o enmity_n which_o be_v fall_v out_o betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n and_o one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o all_o the_o difficulty_n of_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n shall_v have_v be_v on_o his_o part_n that_o his_o justice_n his_o honour_n his_o authority_n shall_v have_v interpose_v and_o not_o only_o not_o suffer_v he_o to_o accept_v of_o peace_n but_o also_o to_o have_v oblige_v he_o utter_o to_o destroy_v those_o despicable_a silly_a creature_n who_o have_v the_o foolish_a insolency_n to_o rebel_v against_o he_o and_o to_o counteract_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n but_o behold_v jesus_n christ_n have_v remove_v all_o difficulty_n on_o god_n part_n he_o have_v find_v out_o mean_n to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n and_o to_o salve_v the_o honour_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n though_o man_n be_v not_o destroy_v though_o his_o sin_n be_v pass_v over_o and_o pardon_v god_n wrath_n be_v pacify_v he_o now_o look_v favourable_o upon_o man_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v he_o into_o favour_n and_o to_o renew_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o peace_n with_o he_o whereby_o he_o oblige_v himself_o to_o deal_v with_o man_n as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o rebel_v against_o his_o maker_n now_o can_v it_o have_v be_v expect_v that_o such_o a_o gracious_a offer_n shall_v not_o have_v be_v ready_o embrace_v but_o which_o be_v unaccountable_a man_n stand_v out_o and_o will_v not_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n god_n have_v make_v great_a condescension_n and_o man_n will_v make_v none_o god_n woo_v and_o entreat_v and_o man_n draw_v back_o and_o run_v away_o god_n call_v and_o send_v message_n after_o message_n and_o the_o other_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n but_o no_o man_n regard_v he_o wait_v but_o they_o will_v not_o come_v or_o draw_v near_o thus_o each_o act_n as_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o part_n but_o what_o in_o all_o appearance_n do_v more_o proper_o belong_v to_o the_o other_o god_n act_v as_o if_o he_o be_v in_o man_n stead_n and_o man_n behave_v himself_o as_o if_o he_o be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o god_n for_o as_o if_o god_n be_v the_o poor_a the_o needy_a the_o inferior_a and_o miserable_a party_n he_o sue_v and_o humble_v himself_o first_o and_o as_o if_o man_n be_v a_o independent_a sovereign_n and_o all-sufficient_a be_v who_o need_v no_o aid_n from_o any_o he_o reject_v all_o the_o treaty_n and_o disdain_v this_o proffer_a friendship_n o_o wonderful_a condescension_n of_o god_n and_o o_o the_o stupidity_n and_o foolishness_n and_o madness_n of_o man_n what_o word_n be_v sufficient_a to_o hold_v out_o either_o of_o these_o and_o how_o hard_o be_v it_o to_o determine_v which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v most_o astonish_a whether_o god_n behaviour_n towards_o man_n in_o seek_v he_o offering_z pardon_n and_o peace_n or_o man_n behaviour_n towards_o god_n in_o refuse_v and_o slight_v the_o same_o do_v you_o thus_o requite_v the_o lord_n o_o foolish_a people_n and_o unwise_a o_o you_o son_n of_o man_n how_o long_o will_v you_o turn_v my_o glory_n
