be_v with_o we_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v we_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o think_v good_a we_o shall_v soon_o bring_v a_o old_a house_n over_o our_o head_n as_o they_o say_v object_n but_o

at_o these_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v in_o he_o and_o be_v so_o needful_a for_o i_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o god_n in_o give_v himself_o unto_o person_n give_v himself_o to_o be_v communicate_v

of_o god_n where_o there_o be_v no_o softness_n and_o all_o hardness_n for_o the_o lord_n must_v first_o soften_v the_o heart_n to_o seek_v he_o but_o you_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o softness_n

of_o god_n shall_v we_o tell_v believer_n if_o they_o sin_n they_o shall_v come_v under_o god_n wrath_n and_o except_o they_o do_v such_o and_o such_o good_a work_n god_n will_v be_v angry_a with_o

again_o we_o do_v not_o only_o so_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n but_o we_o offer_v a_o insufferable_a affront_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o strike_v at_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o whole_a office_n of_o christ_n mediatorship_n if_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v wroth_a with_o believer_n for_o who_o christ_n die_v for_o what_o end_n do_v christ_n suffer_v death_n i_o say_v if_o this_o principle_n be_v a_o truth_n that_o god_n will_v be_v wroth_a with_o his_o people_n and_o angry_a with_o they_o than_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a for_o god_n can_v have_v be_v but_o wroth_a he_o can_v have_v be_v but_o angry_a with_o his_o people_n if_o christ_n have_v never_o die_v and_o to_o bring_v the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n again_o for_o their_o sin_n be_v to_o take_v away_o all_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o make_v it_o of_o none_o effect_v and_o how_o will_v this_o principle_n stand_v with_o that_o in_o the_o 53._o of_o isaiah_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o behold_v the_o travel_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o be_v satisfy_v be_v god_n satisfy_v with_o sufrering_n of_o christ_n have_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n lay_v upon_o he_o and_o yet_o be_v god_n wroth_a and_o angry_a with_o believer_n for_o those_o very_a sin_n again_o which_o before_o he_o acknowledge_v satisfaction_n for_o if_o so_o be_v a_o man_n be_v indebt_v unto_o another_o and_o the_o creditor_n be_v willing_a to_o take_v a_o surety_n for_o the_o debt_n and_o this_o surety_n come_v in_o and_o pay_v this_o debt_n for_o the_o man_n he_o be_v bind_v for_o and_o he_o thereupon_o give_v a_o general_a discharge_n under_o hand_n and_o seal_v shall_v he_o yet_o by_o &_o by_o after_o take_v the_o debtor_n by_o the_o throat_n and_o clap_v he_o up_o in_o gaol_n when_o the_o surety_n have_v answer_v for_o the_o debt_n before_o and_o after_o he_o have_v deliver_v under_o hand_n and_o seal_v that_o he_o be_v satisfy_v and_o that_o his_o book_n be_v cross_v who_o but_o must_v say_v it_o be_v injustice_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n what_o justice_n what_o equity_n be_v in_o this_o belove_a christ_n become_v our_o surety_n god_n accept_v of_o he_o for_o our_o debt_n he_o clap_v up_o christ_n in_o gaol_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v for_o the_o debt_n god_n take_v every_o farthing_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o can_v demand_v of_o we_o he_o be_v now_o reconcile_v unto_o we_o he_o will_v not_o now_o impute_v our_o sin_n to_o we_o he_o have_v acknowledge_v satisfaction_n it_o be_v upon_o record_n and_o now_o shall_v he_o come_v upon_o they_o again_o with_o fresh_a wrath_n for_o who_o christ_n have_v do_v all_o this_o shall_v he_o charge_v the_o debt_n upon_o they_o again_o he_o have_v forget_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o seem_v if_o this_o be_v true_a therefore_o know_v thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o make_n of_o it_o of_o none_o effect_n it_o make_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o say_v that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v break_v out_o upon_o believer_n if_o they_o commit_v such_o and_o such_o sin_n and_o for_o this_o that_o i_o have_v say_v if_o any_o man_n can_v produce_v one_o scripture_n against_o it_o if_o any_o man_n can_v show_v in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v any_o otherwise_o then_o i_o have_v deliver_v for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v be_v of_o another_o mind_n and_o willing_o recant_v my_o opinion_n but_o i_o see_v the_o scripture_n run_v whole_o in_o this_o strain_n and_o be_v so_o full_a in_o nothing_o as_o in_o this_o that_o god_n have_v general_o discharge_v the_o sin_n of_o believer_n oh_o then_o take_v heed_n of_o fall_v into_o that_o error_n of_o the_o papist_n that_o say_v that_o god_n have_v take_v away_o the_o sin_n but_o not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n due_a to_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v forgive_v our_o sin_n but_o not_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n but_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v that_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v then_o upon_o christ_n he_o be_v so_o bruise_v for_o our_o iniquity_n that_o by_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v and_o the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n be_v so_o upon_o he_o that_o he_o be_v chastife_v for_o our_o sin_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o peace_n belong_v to_o we_o and_o the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n be_v so_o upon_o he_o that_o he_o behold_v the_o travel_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o be_v satisfy_v christ_n be_v so_o chastise_v as_o i_o have_v often_o say_v with_o the_o rod_n of_o god_n wrath_n that_o it_o be_v quite_o wear_v out_o and_o whole_o spend_v itself_o upon_o he_o this_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o very_a tenor_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n itself_o it_o run_v altogether_o upon_o free_a gift_n and_o grace_n god_n take_v upon_o himself_o to_o do_v all_o that_o shall_v be_v in_o believer_n ask_v and_o require_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o we_o it_o be_v true_a he_o say_v there_o shall_v be_v the_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a law_n write_v in_o the_o inward_a part_n but_o he_o require_v it_o not_o of_o the_o believer_n but_o he_o himself_o have_v undertake_v to_o do_v all_o and_o bestow_v upon_o the_o believer_n a_o new_a heart_n will_v i_o give_v thou_o and_o a_o new_a spirit_n will_v i_o put_v into_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v take_v away_o thy_o stony_a heart_n and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n he_o do_v not_o say_v you_o must_v get_v you_o new_a heart_n and_o new_a spirit_n and_o you_o must_v get_v your_o stony_a heart_n take_v away_o and_o you_o must_v get_v you_o heart_n of_o flesh_n but_o i_o will_v take_v the_o work_n in_o hand_n and_o i_o will_v see_v all_o do_v myself_o all_o run_v free_o upon_o god_n undertake_v for_o his_o people_n see_v therefore_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n free_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n in_o we_o then_o belove_v see_v how_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v abuse_v by_o those_o that_o will_v make_v man_n believe_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n depend_v upon_o man_n do_n and_o performance_n upon_o action_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o tell_v man_n if_o they_o do_v it_o not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v follow_v thereupon_o this_o likewise_o batter_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n that_o way_n of_o urge_v man_n to_o holiness_n which_o some_o man_n hold_v forth_o that_o if_o man_n do_v not_o these_o and_o these_o good_a work_n and_o leave_v these_o and_o these_o sin_n than_o they_o must_v come_v under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v but_o hide_a all_o this_o while_n they_o do_v these_o and_o these_o good_a work_n but_o if_o they_o fail_v in_o any_o of_o these_o than_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v break_v out_o upon_o they_o whereas_o they_o ought_v rather_o after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o excite_v they_o to_o these_o good_a work_n because_o they_o be_v already_o free_v from_o wrath_n certain_o this_o that_o i_o have_v deliver_v prove_v this_o sufficient_o that_o the_o appear_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v teach_v man_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n effectual_o the_o love_n of_o god_n constrain_v the_o faithful_a and_o not_o the_o fear_n of_o wrath_n but_o to_o conclude_v do_v not_o mistake_v i_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n i_o have_v no_o thought_n as_o if_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v preach_v and_o make_v know_v even_o to_o believer_n yea_o belove_a wrath_n and_o vengeance_n be_v to_o be_v make_v know_v to_o they_o and_o that_o as_o
