the_o wrath_n of_o god_n due_a for_o the_o break_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v both_o these_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v give_v himself_o and_o if_o christ_n have_v certain_o do_v it_o what_o need_v man_n come_v after_o to_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o it_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v a_o doctrine_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o man_n must_v satisfy_v in_o this_o life_n and_o after_o this_o life_n all_o this_o be_v needless_a and_o derogatory_n to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o man_n shall_v come_v after_o and_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o what_o he_o have_v do_v as_o if_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o perfect_a as_o if_o christ_n give_v of_o himself_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n learn_v this_o therefore_o that_o so_o you_o may_v abhor_v that_o doctrine_n and_o here_o be_v the_o first_o instruction_n the_o second_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o the_o great_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n that_o iniquity_n hold_v they_o in_o that_o be_v under_o it_o for_o if_o so_o be_v that_o christ_n give_v himself_o to_o fetch_v believer_n out_o of_o iniquity_n then_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o miserable_a thing_n to_o be_v under_o iniquity_n it_o be_v a_o silly_a thing_n that_o christ_n shall_v be_v at_o so_o much_o cost_n as_o to_o give_v himself_o to_o free_a believer_n from_o iniquity_n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o miserable_a thing_n for_o believer_n to_o be_v under_o iniquity_n the_o very_a phrase_n teach_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o bondage_n to_o be_v under_o sin_n he_o give_v himself_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o iniquity_n therefore_o to_o be_v under_o iniquity_n be_v a_o bondage_n for_o redemption_n suppose_v a_o slavery_n oh_o it_o be_v a_o bondage_n indeed_o and_o a_o slavery_n worse_o than_o that_o of_o the_o turk_n or_o moor_n for_o first_o the_o slavery_n of_o the_o turk_n be_v but_o of_o the_o body_n but_o the_o slavery_n to_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n both_o the_o slavery_n to_o the_o turk_n be_v but_o to_o man_n the_o slavery_n to_o sin_n be_v a_o slavery_n to_o the_o devil_n the_o slavery_n to_o the_o turk_n be_v but_o for_o a_o while_n at_o the_o long_a but_o for_o a_o man_n life_n but_o the_o slavery_n to_o sin_n be_v for_o ever_o again_o the_o slavery_n to_o the_o turk_n a_o man_n may_v be_v redeem_v from_o it_o by_o some_o ordinary_a price_n by_o a_o certain_a sum_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o the_o slavery_n to_o sin_v a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v free_v out_o of_o that_o but_o by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 1_o pet._n 1.18_o you_o be_v not_o redeem_v from_o your_o vain_a conversation_n redemption_n from_o sin_n slavery_n be_v not_o attainable_a by_o silver_n and_o gold_n and_o corruptible_a thing_n but_o by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o without_o spot_n blood_n must_v be_v shed_v before_o freedom_n from_o the_o slavery_n from_o sin_n can_v be_v

can_v redeem_v but_o blood_n innocent_a blood_n even_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n certain_o either_o it_o be_v a_o infinite_a misery_n to_o be_v under_o sin_n slavery_n or_o christ_n be_v very_o foolish_a to_o give_v such_o a_o infinite_a price_n to_o redeem_v we_o from_o it_o for_o what_o be_v it_o for_o christ_n to_o give_v himself_o but_o for_o christ_n to_o give_v a_o infinite_a price_n for_o be_v not_o christ_n god_n who_o the_o angel_n worship_n who_o make_v the_o world_n christ_n give_v himself_o to_o redeem_v people_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o infinite_a misery_n under_o which_o they_o be_v or_o he_o have_v be_v infinite_o unwise_a to_o give_v so_o great_a a_o price_n learn_v then_o that_o christ_n give_v himself_o to_o redeem_v from_o sin_n therefore_o sin_n be_v a_o infinite_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n give_v not_o reave_v therefore_o to_o your_o soul_n till_o you_o come_v out_o of_o it_o three_o and_o last_o have_v christ_n give_v

christ_n give_v himself_o to_o ransom_n you_o oh_o then_o what_o a_o love_n do_v you_o owe_v to_o christ_n consider_v but_o these_o particular_n in_o christ_n give_v of_o himself_o for_o your_o ransom_n first_o he_o have_v give_v a_o great_a price_n he_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o our_o ransom_n it_o be_v the_o most_o costly_a ransom_n that_o ever_o friend_n give_v to_o ransom_n a_o

three_o it_o be_v a_o perpetual_a ransom_n he_o have_v for_o ever_o redeem_v you_o four_o it_o be_v a_o undeserved_a ransom_n what_o do_v you_o deserve_v when_o christ_n give_v himself_o to_o ransom_n you_o from_o sin_n you_o be_v enemy_n to_o christ_n you_o hate_v he_o you_o persecute_v he_o you_o reject_v he_o there_o be_v no_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n so_o bitter_a a_o enemy_n to_o our_o

ransom_n what_o do_v this_o deserve_v but_o wonderful_a love_n at_o your_o hand_n if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v to_o lie_v in_o prison_n all_o his_o life_n long_o for_o debt_n and_o one_o shall_v come_v to_o he_o that_o he_o never_o know_v of_o who_o he_o never_o deserve_v any_o kindness_n if_o this_o man_n shall_v set_v he_o free_a how_o will_v he_o love_v that_o man_n and_o true_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n that_o he_o shall_v suppose_v a_o man_n be_v a_o slave_n to_o the_o turk_n and_o there_o for_o aught_o he_o know_v he_o be_v to_o spend_v all_o his_o day_n in_o that_o

much_o to_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o he_o that_o set_v he_o free_a no_o sure_o i_o remember_v what_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n say_v once_o to_o gideon_n judg._n 8.22_o rule_n thou_o over_o we_o both_o thou_o and_o thy_o son_n and_o thy_o son_n son_n for_o thou_o have_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o midian_a because_o he_o have_v deliver_v they_o they_o give_v their_o crown_n and_o

for_o they_o as_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o you_o they_o do_v not_o give_v themselves_o christ_n have_v give_v himself_o and_o that_o to_o redeem_v you_o from_o iniquity_n therefore_o as_o the_o work_n be_v of_o infinite_a worth_n so_o your_o love_n shall_v be_v abundant_a oh_o love_n christ_n therefore_o above_o all_o above_o your_o sin_n above_o the_o world_n above_o your_o friend_n above_o your_o liberty_n above_o your_o good_n above_o your_o life_n for_o he_o have_v love_v you_o above_o his_o life_n he_o have_v give_v himself_o to_o redeem_v you_o from_o all_o iniquity_n let_v it_o

to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n in_o judgement_n may_v oftentimes_o awaken_v a_o man_n and_o terrify_v the_o conscience_n and_o yet_o the_o man_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o unconvert_v but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o ill_a sign_n when_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o stoop_v to_o that_o purity_n and_o holiness_n and_o goodness_n that_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o word_n when_o a_o man_n can_v say_v with_o the_o apostle_n the_o law_n be_v holy_a and_o the_o commandment_n
