thou_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v afterward_o but_o to_o clear_v this_o a_o little_a better_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a sealing_n there_o be_v god_n seal_v of_o christ_n which_o i_o have_v unfold_v to_o you_o and_o there_o be_v our_o seal_n of_o god_n that_o be_v our_o seal_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o then_o again_o there_o be_v god_n seal_v of_o we_o by_o his_o

by_o consequence_n to_o seal_v that_o god_n be_v true_a in_o send_v such_o a_o bless_a mediator_n as_o st._n john_n say_v 3.33_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n have_v set_v to_o his_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a god_n have_v seal_v he_o that_o we_o by_o receive_v he_o shall_v seal_v god_n truth_n belove_a god_n come_v to_o we_o for_o our_o testimoniall_n for_o our_o hand_n and_o seal_n oh_o how_o wondrous_o do_v god_n condescend_v to_o weak_a man_n he_o have_v seal_v christ_n for_o the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o he_o offer_v he_o unto_o we_o and_o he_o come_v to_o we_o likewise_o that_o we_o will_v set_v to_o our_o seal_n too_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o count_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o he_o have_v seal_v he_o himself_o but_o he_o

he_o he_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n say_v saint_n john_n and_o what_o come_v of_o this_o when_o we_o receive_v christ_n and_o set_v to_o our_o seal_n that_o god_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n be_v true_a then_o we_o have_v honour_v he_o he_o honour_v we_o by_o seal_v we_o by_o his_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v ephes_n 1._o in_o who_o after_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v

of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o god_n seal_v we_o after_o we_o believe_v i_o answer_v god_n seal_v we_o when_o he_o set_v the_o stamp_n of_o his_o spirit_n upon_o we_o when_o the_o work_n and_o

because_o in_o the_o humane_a nature_n all_o our_o salvation_n be_v wrought_v indeed_o the_o worth_n and_o efficacy_n of_o our_o salvation_n come_v from_o the_o divine_a nature_n but_o it_o be_v wrought_v in_o man_n nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n can_v not_o work_v it_o alone_o but_o i_o will_v not_o dwell_v on_o this_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v give_v it_o you_o you_o need_v not_o fear_v it_o god_n be_v become_v man_n on_o purpose_n to_o give_v it_o you_o we_o may_v now_o bold_o go_v to_o a_o mediator_n which_o be_v make_v bone_n of_o our_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o our_o flesh_n we_o shall_v have_v fear_v and_o tremble_v if_o he_o have_v only_o be_v god_n but_o now_o all_o grace_n and_o comfort_n be_v hide_v in_o this_o nature_n of_o we_o in_o christ_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o take_v this_o poor_a wretched_a nature_n of_o we_o upon_o he_o it_o have_v be_v a_o hateful_a nature_n to_o god_n god_n hate_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o now_o because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v become_v the_o son_n of_o man_n our_o nature_n be_v become_v lovely_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n and_o not_o only_o lovely_a but_o it_o be_v fill_v in_o he_o with_o all_o grace_n and_o of_o his_o fullness_n we_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n he_o will_v give_v it_o therefore_o because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n here_o be_v will_n i_o but_o what_o power_n and_o strength_n have_v he_o to_o give_v it_o he_o be_v so_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o that_o he_o be_v also_o the_o son_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o be_v say_v act_n 20._o to_o be_v redeem_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n christ_n by_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n by_o his_o godhead_n offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n so_o that_o he_o can_v give_v it_o because_o he_o be_v god_n but_o what_o authority_n have_v he_o he_o be_v seal_v to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v the_o three_o that_o be_v he_o have_v authority_n for_o authority_n be_v here_o express_v by_o seal_v now_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v seal_v first_o because_o there_o be_v the_o impression_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o even_o as_o the_o seal_n imprint_n in_o the_o wax_n the_o likeness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o it_o so_o god_n have_v imprint_v in_o christ_n his_o own_o likeness_n he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n be_v the_o character_n of_o his_o father_n and_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v likewise_o as_o like_o god_n as_o nature_n can_v express_v we_o see_v say_v the_o apostle_n his_o glory_n the_o glory_n as_o of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n we_o see_v a_o kind_n of_o divinity_n in_o he_o as_o much_o as_o humane_a nature_n can_v receive_v the_o likeness_n of_o god_n sparkele_v in_o he_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v seal_v but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o nor_o the_o principal_a here_o mean_v again_o second_o the_o use_n of_o a_o seal_n be_v to_o appropriate_v and_o distinguish_v from_o other_o thing_n so_o christ_n be_v seal_v that_o be_v god_n have_v appropriate_v he_o to_o be_v his_o own_o son_n and_o to_o be_v a_o mediator_n of_o his_o own_o appoint_v and_o have_v distinguish_v he_o from_o all_o other_o by_o a_o bless_a anoint_v and_o qualification_n of_o he_o above_o all_o he_o be_v as_o saul_n among_o the_o rest_n high_a than_o all_o he_o be_v as_o aaron_n anoint_v with_o the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n but_o above_o his_o fellow_n and_o yet_o for_o his_o fellow_n from_o he_o distil_v the_o bless_a ointment_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v pour_v on_o his_o head_n first_o and_o descends_z from_o he_o down_o to_o all_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n to_o all_o his_o member_n so_o here_o be_v in_o this_o seal_v likeness_n distinction_n and_o appropriation_n but_o especial_o by_o seal_v here_o be_v mean_v authority_n for_o a_o thing_n seal_v be_v not_o only_o to_o distinguish_v and_o appropriate_v to_o a_o man_n use_n but_o to_o authorise_v also_o as_o a_o magistrate_n that_o have_v the_o king_n broad_a seal_n he_o be_v authorize_v so_o christ_n he_o have_v god_n seal_n god_n have_v authorize_v he_o to_o be_v a_o mediator_n and_o as_o he_o be_v fore-ordained_n before_o all_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v 1._o and_o to_o be_v their_o mediator_n so_o when_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v come_v when_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v authorize_v by_o the_o great_a testimony_n that_o ever_o be_v by_o the_o bless_a trinity_n god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n at_o his_o baptism_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n hear_v he_o say_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n there_o be_v the_o father_n the_o son_n in_o the_o voice_n the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o dove_n there_o be_v the_o whole_a trinity_n so_o he_o be_v authorize_v from_o heaven_n and_o then_o he_o be_v authorize_v by_o his_o miracle_n god_n give_v he_o power_n to_o work_v those_o work_n which_o none_o can_v do_v but_o a_o mediator_n therefore_o he_o say_v if_o you_o believe_v not_o i_o yet_o believe_v i_o for_o my_o work_n sake_n he_o be_v authorize_v also_o by_o his_o resurrection_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o rom._n 1.4_o he_o mighty_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v
